Chapter 2167 The Emperor and the Empress Pay Back the Money

In July, first the third birthdays of Yun Dai and the second prince passed, then it was the birthdays of Zhao Yuanjing in August, and a few days later it was the birthdays of the two princesses.

July and August every year are the busiest times for Yun Dai, with more things to do than during the Chinese New Year.

Only Yan'er's birthday is in November, but it's coming soon.

In the early winter of the seventh year of Yuande, on Yan'er's tenth birthday, he chose a boy from the Su family named Song Qianmo among three noble boys as his companion.

The Song family is also a long-established aristocracy in Kyoto.

When King Cheng rebelled, the Song family was the first to show their attitude and side with Zhao Yuanjing.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanjing has always had a good impression of the Song family.

He was very happy when he heard that Yan'er had chosen the legitimate son of the Song family.

The two princesses were already eight years old and could no longer be allowed to play as they pleased. The Shang Palace Bureau selected several nuns and gentlemen to teach the princesses poetry, etiquette, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Qian'er and young children have very different temperaments and completely different preferences.

Qian'er has a quiet temperament and likes to read and write. However, as a young child, he can't sit still and prefers to practice martial arts and horse riding with the emperor's brother.

By the time they were eight, the two of them didn't look exactly the same. Because the child runs around outside all year round, his skin color is a healthy wheat color, his big crystal eyes are bright and sparkling, and he is full of energy.

The body also runs very healthy and strong.

In comparison, Qian'er is gentle and quiet, soft and frail, with skin as white as snow, bright eyes and white teeth.

He just looks a little thinner.

There is a big gap between the two sisters. One loves literature and the other loves martial arts. If they live together, it will be too crowded.

So the child moved out from Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and lived in Zhaixing Pavilion not far from Tinglan Waterside Pavilion.

Although they live separately, the two sisters are still close to each other. The tacit understanding and affection between twins cannot be matched by anyone.

After winter, Zhao Yuanjing suffered from a cough, which lasted for a long time.

Yun Dai tried her best to make medicinal food for him, but it still had no effect.

Quite anxious.

Gu Chengan went to Saibei, but no news came back for a long time, which made people worried.

Fortunately, there is still good news.

There has been no war this year, and the country has had an opportunity to recuperate. Zhao Yuanjing gathered together Beiqi and Jiuli, worked hard to govern, and achieved a great harvest.

The treasury was instantly filled.

After excluding the various budgets for the coming year, there is still a balance of more than three million silver.

The emperor and the empress discussed it and decided to use all the three million silver to pay off the debt.

Anyway, there are few people in the palace and the expenses are small.

The revenue from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is completely sufficient.

The bulk of the debt was the two million silver owed to King Zhao Shu of Qin.

Before the court's annual vacation, Zhao Yuanjing specially called King Qin to the imperial study.

Zhao Shu walked into the imperial study and saw the emperor wrapped in a thick cloak and a brazier lit in the room.

It was already too hot for him.

And Zhao Yuanjing coughed once or twice from time to time.

Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel worried.

"The little emperor is here, sit down quickly." Zhao Yuanjing looked up and saw him and said with a smile.

Zhao Shu sat over, glanced at his face a few times, and said, "Yuan Jing, you've been coughing for two or three months. Why haven't you gotten better?"

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "It's just an old problem after winter. Did the little emperor forget? I was like this when I was a child."

Zhao Shu remembered that he had always been weak since he was very young, almost as if he had been soaked in a medicine jar.

I drank two bowls of bitter medicine a day without blinking an eye.

Later it was confirmed that it was the late queen's method.

But Ouyang has already taken care of him.

Why did I start to have a cough again?

Good night, and then ask for the monthly ticket again... My babies are too aloof, let Xiaoyue be on the list.
