Seeing this, Zhou Ying had no choice but to find a piece of paper for them to write their order themselves. If she could sell to all of them, it would save her the trouble of finding vendors.
After jotting down everyone’s order, Zhou Ying put away the paper and said, “Thank you for your support. When the wine is ready, I’ll send someone to send a letter to everyone.”
“Wahhh…”
As soon as she finished speaking, the First Prince burst into tears.
“Sister Zhou, is the First Prince crying because you stole his limelight?” Mingyu turned her head and teased.
“He’s probably sleepy.” Gu Wanning smiled.
“I don’t know if he’s sleepy or not, but I indeed borrowed our big baby’s limelight today.
“As his aunt, I’ll give him a big red packet during the new year.” Zhou Ying smiled.
“How much? I know you don’t lack money.” Mingyu said.
Zhou Ying turned her head and glanced at Mingyu. She was stunned when she saw her blinking at her. “How about ten thousand taels of silver? I’ll give that to him every year in the future. He’ll have pocket money every year.”
“Sister-in-law, there’s no need…” Gu Wanning was about to speak.
“It’s not like she’s giving it to you,” Mingyu said. “Just keep it for the child.”
“Thank you, sister-in-law.” Gu Wanning saw Zhou Ying nod at her. “I’ll thank sister-in-law on his behalf.”
“Who asked me to be his aunt? I can’t call him my nephew for nothing.” Zhou Ying said.
“Mrs. Gu is sure generous. Congratulations to the First Prince. He will definitely be the richest child in the future.” Consort An smiled.
The others quickly echoed.
Even the Empress Dowager smiled happily.
However, the First Prince was really sleepy. Gu Wanning said a few polite words before bringing him back to her room.
Other than the royal family members, the others immediately formed groups of three to five and started chatting.
“Why did you do that just now?” Zhou Ying asked Mingyu in confusion. “Did you want me to show off my wealth?”
“Shh, listen.” Mingyu turned her head and nodded over.
Zhou Ying glanced over. It was the family members of the officials. Thinking of what she had said earlier, she used her divine sense to look over.
Some said she was generous, some said she was stupid, and some were jealous of her.
However, there were a few people who were discussing Wanning. They said that with the Gu couple’s support and the First Prince’s birth, the Empress’s position might be hers.
Only then did Zhou Ying realize that Mingyu wanted her to back Gu Wanning up so everyone would be wary of her.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Chenglin was still young. Without the help of the couple, her life would be difficult once newcomers entered the palace.
After the one-month-old banquet in the afternoon, Gu Wanning went to find Zhou Ying. “Sister-in-law, I was in a hurry earlier. You don’t have to give my son so much money every year.”
I won’t take it either.”
“You have to.” Zhou Ying briefly explained Mingyu’s intention and what she had heard. “It’s only a matter of time before a consort selection is held. You can’t survive in the palace without money. In the future, I’ll give you 20,000 silver every year. If it’s not enough, send someone to send a letter.”
“Is there really going to be a consort selection?” Gu Wanning’s face darkened immediately.
“If the Empress was here, maybe not.
“Remember my words from before; work hard on the Emperor.
“Remember, you can defend yourself, but don’t take the initiative to harm others.
“If you have anything to say, you can tell the Emperor. He is a reasonable person and will not watch you be bullied.
“Also, be mindful about the previous Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess, especially the Eldest Princess; get closer to her and care about her. It will only be good for you.”
“Don’t worry, the Empress saved the Emperor. Even for her sake, I won’t ignore the Eldest Princess.”
“Yup, the previous Empress will be a future hurdle in the Emperor’s heart, or perhaps a taboo. Try your best to respect her, and don’t touch on this subject..”
