Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 450 Lack of Money

"King of Chu? Thirteen? 'Chu'? Ah——" Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue collapsed, holding her head and screaming silently.

Her title, Hengshan, belonged to Hengshan County of the Chu State. Now that there is a King of Chu, what should happen to her title?

Qin Mingyue's eyes widened.

In Wuyang County of Wei and Zhaode County of Shu, the elder sister, Princess Qin Ronglu, was successfully promoted from Princess Wuyang to Princess Wei, and the younger sister, Princess Qin Lingyi, was successfully promoted from Princess Zhaode to Princess Shu.

Her elder and younger sisters were given higher titles smoothly, but she encountered many twists and turns.

Although the princesses of Dayong did not receive actual fiefdoms, the change from a county princess to a state princess was more than just a change in name.

Is it her fault that she insisted on staying in the palace for too long?

She originally thought that when her ninth brother was made the crown prince next year, she would be promoted to the title of Princess of Chu because of her merits and hard work in compiling the book.

If the Thirteenth Prince Qin Minghu was simply conferred the title of King of Chu, it would not have much impact on her, after all, her Thirteenth Brother had died young and was destined to have no heir.

But her father wanted to adopt her ninth brother's second son, who was not even a baby, to the "King of Chu" to inherit the throne of Chu. How could she continue to play?

Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue sat on the steps in front of Zhaozheng Hall with her head in her hands, sighing.

She had originally come to Zhaozheng Hall excitedly to find her father to report the progress of her book revision and see if she could get some money.

As a result, he ran into Zhang Deli and a group of officials who were drafting the imperial edict, who were about to draft a list of rewards for the newly promoted Concubine Ming Yu, and learned the bad news from them.

Thinking of the purpose of her visit, Qin Mingyue suddenly stopped worrying about it.

Being named a princess of Chu would increase her current salary several times, but it was still a drop in the bucket compared to what she wanted to do.

The most important thing for her at the moment is to recruit talented people to edit books. Before she builds her own team, these are all trivial matters.

Lack of money is her biggest problem at the moment.

Qin Mingyue wanted to edit a book and build a school. Qin Zhi gave her the title but did not allocate any funds to her. She had to raise the money she needed by herself.

She wants both big and small amounts of money.

Shu Guipin helped her clean up the tail end of lending in the palace and made up for the losses after she stopped, and also revealed her plan to deal with the third prince. Only then did she agree to let Shu Guipin help her kill Imperial Physician Yu in an almost open and aboveboard manner, and she took the blame for killing Imperial Physician Yu in front of her ninth brother.

Qin Mingyue from Hengshan stood up and dragged his legs towards the Pepper Room.

Autumn has not yet passed, the ginkgo leaves beside the palace road are like broken gold covering the ground, and the red maples in the distance are like red flames burning the sky. Qin Mingyue looked at the magnificent scenery at the end of autumn, and her heart gradually calmed down.

In front of the Pepper Room.

"Meet Concubine Min." Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue bowed to Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi.

"Princess Hengshan, this is my niece, Jiang Yulan. She has come to the Queen's place to look for a position as a female official." Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi took her niece's hand and introduced her softly.

"Madam? How knowledgeable is Miss Jiang? Is there anything she is good at? Instead of asking the Queen Mother for help, why don't you come to me and work for me in the Princess's Mansion? You will have much more freedom there than in this palace."

"My niece is clumsy, so it would be great if she could be valued by Princess Hengshan. We appreciate the princess's kindness, but the queen has already made arrangements. As the saying goes, one thing does not require two masters. I can only thank the princess for her kindness."

Qin Mingyue raised her eyebrows.

"With Miss Jiang in the palace, isn't Concubine Min afraid of...reenacting the story of Concubine Man and Concubine Miao?"
