Chapter Struggle

Although the Zhenguo Palace is now filled with people from Emperor Hongwen both inside and outside.

However, the Duke of Zhen Guo has been in power for many years, so why not have some back-ups?

During this period, even though he was under house arrest in the Zhenguo Palace, he was actually more or less aware of what was happening outside.

When he first came back from the Northland, he really had no intention of struggling.

Thinking that he was already a loser, judging from Emperor Hongwen's resentment towards him, when he returned to the capital, there was only death waiting for him.

He came back with the intention of dying, but after returning to the capital for several months, there was still no movement from Emperor Hongwen, which caused some changes in his original mentality of waiting for death.

When he failed, he was really disheartened and looked down upon death.

But after a few months of buffering, the initial frustration has disappeared a lot.

Yes, he wanted to struggle again.

Even if he were to die, he would have to leave his bloodline to the Wang family, right?

"When does the princess plan to hold a housewarming party?"

Wen Miaomiao smiled and shook her head.

For Lu Yaoyao's mountainside villa, from the beginning to now, it cost at least close to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"How about it? If you want it, I still have space next to my villa. How about you pay for it and I can buy one for each of you?"

"Okay, you can come over when the time comes."

I think the first founding prince followed Taizu to conquer the world. He did collect a lot of things along the way, but he didn't dare to show it all.

Hearing this, both of them nodded repeatedly. Not to mention that the emperor paid for it himself. Even if he didn't pay for it, if he wanted such a villa, ordinary people would still find ways to get one. After all, this is just flattery.

A great opportunity for the Emperor.

"Sister Princess, your mountainside villa looks pretty good, right?"

Therefore, it will take up a lot of space. Fortunately, when she first opened the foundation, she reserved a lot of empty space. It is more than enough to create a place to park the carriage.

They don't want to be noticed if they don't reveal their wealth.

How far is Chengyuan Villa from the capital? Isn’t it a bit unnecessary to go here to escape the summer heat?

"I don't know if I can leave the palace, but he is the emperor and he says he wants it and pays for it. What can I say?"

Wen Miaomiao was also full of amazement. This mid-level villa was so beautiful.

Cheng Lixue and Wen Miaomiao met at Chengyuan Villa to visit Lu Yaoyao's mountainside villa.

The road up the mountain was paved by Lu Yaoyao before. However, the road was not very wide, and it was simply paved with cement and gravel. In the past, when building villas in the middle of the mountain, it was better to transport materials up the mountain.

There are potholes everywhere.

Although this kind of road is not muddy when it snows, it is not very easy to walk along the way.

It is simply a joke to want to spend the night outside the palace.

She planned to wait until spring and expand the road first so that three or four carriages could go up and down side by side.

"However, princess princess, you just said that the emperor and the eldest princess are going to build a villa here. Forget the eldest princess, what is the emperor doing? Can he leave the palace?"

When the emperor normally leaves the palace, he must go through a series of preparations.

When there are servants to help with things, carriages are also needed. Why not prepare five, six, seven or eight carriages?

"Forget it, we don't have any money."

Originally I was going to call her Dong Shan'er, but Dong Shan'er's pulse was found yesterday, so now she's so precious, her husband's family won't allow her to go out in this cold weather.

One hundred thousand taels of silver, let alone the two of them, even if their family wanted to take it out, it would be very difficult.

Especially the Wen family. Even though Wen Songtao was the right minister of the court, his daily salary was only five hundred taels.

"The weather is nice today, so that's okay. If it snows, the road will be really difficult to walk. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to invite people to come and participate?"

"Thank you, Princess Princess."

After all, the Wen family used to be a poor family, and it has only become better in recent years.

So he used his last hidden power, began to pay attention to the situation in the capital, and began to make plans, striving to keep some of his bloodline alive, or even not having to die.

"It's really beautiful. I didn't expect that the house could be built like this."

They are regular visitors to Chengyuan Villa. Although they don't know exactly how much this mid-mountain villa costs, they have some idea.

The area of ​​her villa is not small, and there are many guest rooms. It can easily accommodate more than ten or twenty people.

"Don't worry, the weather is getting colder and colder now. As you know, I don't want to move in winter. And as you just saw, the road up the mountain is not completely finished yet."

"This place is really nice, Princess Princess. When you move to a new house, can I come over and stay with you for a while?"

After building a villa in Chengyuan Villa, does it mean that his summer vacation place will be changed in the future?

One hundred thousand taels is indeed a bit unrealistic for them.

Moreover, she also plans to create a parking space for carriages in the open space next to the villa. Whether she is inviting people over for a banquet or parking the carriage herself in the future, she will need a space, right?

As a wealthy family, it was impossible for there to be only one carriage in the house. If she was to ride alone, she would have to prepare three carriages to use in turn.

"How much does this cost? I can't afford it."

Are you kidding me? Although they are both the direct daughters of top powerful people and live a comfortable life, their personal property is really not very much.

But now, envoys from Northern Chu are visiting, and southern Xinjiang is about to move. He sees an opportunity, and maybe if he takes advantage of it, his family will still have a chance to survive.

When the two of them heard the beginning, they were still excited, but when they heard that they had to pay for it themselves, they immediately withered.

"The emperor and the eldest princess have already made reservations."

Although the family still has some property, the net income per year is only two to three thousand taels, which is considered to be the highest.

"It's better to wait until next year when the weather gets warmer, and I'll have people work on the road."

They can afford to buy an ordinary small house, but is Lu Yaoyao's mountainside villa a small house?

The Founding Prince's Mansion can take it out, but he doesn't dare to take it out all at once.

Wen Miaomiao also asked.

"It's impossible to do it yourself, but I can come to your place to experience it."

Even if it is a private visit incognito, there will be many people around, and the time out cannot be too long.

"Yes, then you have to notify us in advance so that we can come and help."

As soon as Wen Miaomiao opened her mouth, Cheng Lixue nodded her head, and then asked with a smile, "Now that the princess's sister's mountainside villa has been completed, will she also marry His Highness Prince Jin as agreed?"

"Next year too, right?"

"Well, I guess I'll have to go in the second half of the year."
