Chapter 25: It’s Better to Give Money

The housekeeper of the palace led a large group of people wearing palace clothes and walked toward Shen Xinyue and Si Qi in a mighty manner, followed closely by a group of people from the palace led by the old princess. , the scale is astonishing.

At the moment, there was no way to hide or avoid the pavilion. Shen Xinyue had no choice but to stand where she was.

Si Qi was also shocked by this formation. He stopped talking and just stood aside quietly with his head bowed.

The housekeeper brought the person to Shen Xinyue and said respectfully: "Princess, this is from the palace, the celebrity around the emperor, Mr. Hao, Eunuch Hao."

After saying that, he took the initiative to step aside and stood with his head bowed.

Things were already like this. Shen Xinyue didn't want to cause trouble to Huo Weilou's house, so she had to deal with the current situation first.

So she smiled lightly, blessed her body slightly, and said without being humble or arrogant: "I have met Eunuch Hao."

Eunuch Hao, the chief eunuch, replied with a smile: "I have met the Princess Regent. The prince and princess are getting married, and the emperor is very happy. In order to congratulate the prince and princess on their heaven-given marriage, I have specially ordered this old slave to take this trip. , personally deliver these rewards to the palace."

With that said, with a wave of his hand, the people in palace clothes behind him carried the boxes in front of Shen Xinyue and placed them one by one.

Shen Xinyue was not interested in the reward given to the Princess Regent at all, so just as she was about to bow and finish the matter, she heard Eunuch Hao say again: "Open!"

The lids of the big boxes were opened one by one and displayed in front of everyone.

Inside the box are various kinds of silks and satins, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and jades, etc. It is really dazzling to see.

Some people in the crowd inevitably shouted softly, and then quickly covered their mouths.

Eunuch Hao glanced at the crowd with disdain and slowly took out an imperial edict.

When everyone saw this, they knelt down one after another. Shen Xinyue had no choice but to follow him to the market and knelt down to wait for Eunuch Hao to read out the imperial edict.

Eunuch Hao gently opened the imperial edict and read it loudly in his unique drake voice:

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The regent Princess Shen Xinyue is intelligent and agile, dignified and gentle, has a gentle temperament, and is beautiful and light, so she is bestowed..."

Shen Xinyue was very familiar with the words "Inherited by heaven, the emperor decreed".

In modern society, she often watched ancient costume palace fighting dramas. She also knew that after the imperial edict was recited, there must be someone who "appreciated it". In addition, the content in the middle was really unfamiliar to her, so she Don't even bother to listen.

This eunuch was also the first time Shen Xinyue had seen him since traveling through time, and she felt inexplicably funny.

In the past, I always thought that the actors with funny voices on TV acted that way deliberately for the sake of art. Now it seems that the saying "art comes from life" is not false at all. I heard the live version of the original version.

Also, it’s so uncomfortable to kneel down. It’s so delicate and tender, and it hurts so much after kneeling for a while. When will this edict be finished?

Shen Xinyue thought about it, and when she saw Huo Weilou, she decided to have a good talk with him.

After receiving the imperial edict and receiving the distracted child, Shen Xinyue knew that it was unprecedented and unprecedented. Who asked that Eunuch Hao to read such a long list? She was really not interested.

However, fortunately, when she heard "I appreciate this", she knew that the edict had been read, so she said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She stood up, took the edict and said nothing.

Who knows whether she should call herself "people's daughter" or "minister" or "me" or something like that. If she talks too much, she will make mistakes. In order not to cause trouble to Huo Weilou, the less she says, the better.

Eunuch Hao chuckled inwardly, thinking, could it be that Shen Xinyue, the daughter of a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, is really a straw bag as rumored, not only a straw bag, but maybe also a fool.

I have been reciting my imperial edict for a long time, and based on the rewards from the emperor, even the family members of ordinary princes and nobles would be ecstatic after seeing it. She, a newly arrived common girl, was not only not excited at all, but also a little impatient. His expression shows that he is really ignorant.

Not only that, in order to show the importance that the Emperor attaches to the Regent's Palace, he specially sent himself here for today's errand. To say that he met a shrewd master, Eunuch Hao must not be praised as a genius.

The current person has said a total of eight words since he entered the palace until now!

The more he thought about it, the more Eunuch Hao began to look down upon the new regent, so without further ado, he handed over the things and led his men back to resume their duties.

When the people in the palace left, the people in the mansion also dispersed and went about their business.

The steward ordered people to put all the rewards from the palace into the palace treasury and give Shen Xinyue a copy of the list.

Shen Xinyue looked at the long list and still didn't quite understand why the emperor in the palace gave these rewards to the Prince Regent. She shook her head and said, "These things are just clothing materials, women's jewelry, and display items. They're messy, take up space, and are of no great use, so it's better to just give them money."

Everyone said on the spot: "..."



But after returning to the old princess, Nanny Li said while changing her clothes: "Princess, today's battle was quite big, and the emperor rewarded her with a lot of things."

The old princess sneered, "People who do big things never care about these external things, let alone the emperor. Compared with what he wants to get from Huo Weilou, these small profits are nothing. Not on."

Aunt Li nodded in flattery: "Princess, you are absolutely right. Princess, shall we go to the Buddhist hall now?"

The old princess took a bronze mirror and looked at it carefully. When she saw that her hair was combed meticulously, she nodded and said, "Let's go."

This is the custom here for the old princess. Whenever something important happens in the palace, she must go to the Buddhist temple to pay homage and make wishes.

Today, the emperor's reward and imperial edict are coming into the palace, so naturally this trip is indispensable.

After respectfully serving the old princess, Lan Qingruo, who was still confined in the Buddhist hall, repeatedly asked the old princess to rest before leaving, and the old princess agreed.

Lan Qingruo brewed the good tea from the Buddhist hall, put it into the hands of the old princess herself, and said flatteringly: "Qingruo hasn't seen the princess for a long time, and I am really thinking about her. How is the princess these days?"

The old princess took a sip of tea, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not bad. Is it okay for you to be here?"

Lan Qingruo nodded repeatedly, "Since Qingruo came to the Buddhist hall, he has followed the master's instructions every day, eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, and praying for the palace and the princess."

The old princess nodded, finished the tea in the cup, put down the tea bowl, and said: "That's very good. The day is coming soon. When your confinement period is over, we can have a good talk after you return."

After that, he got up and left.

Lan Qingruo hurriedly stepped forward. After enduring it several times, she finally lost her temper and asked tentatively: "Today the princess came to pay homage in the Buddhist hall. Is it related to the reward given by the emperor to the regent princess?"

As soon as these words came out, Lan Qingruo met the old princess's stern eyes and said, "Qingruo, your news came quickly enough. It was just what happened just now. You will know it here now."

Lan Qingruo's eyes averted, and she deliberately took out the handkerchief Huo Ziyao had given her when he came to visit her and stirred it into her hands. She said cautiously: "Princess, don't be surprised. After all, this is an important matter in the palace. Qingruo should also be concerned about it."

The old princess realized that it was Huo Ziyao's thing, and her tone softened slightly, but her attitude was still quite cold, "You should be concerned about the affairs of the house. I don't blame you."

Lan Qingruo took the opportunity and said: "Thank you, Princess. Qingruo just felt that our Regent's Palace is such a lintel. Apart from the Imperial Palace, there is no other home in the country.

Shen Xinyue is just a businesswoman. Based on her background, the prince announced her to the world in a big way that she was the regent princess, and also accepted many rewards from the emperor. Qingruo really felt that it was inappropriate."

After saying that, he poured another cup of tea for the old princess and put it in her hands.

Unexpectedly, the old princess did not accept the cup of tea this time, but said coldly: "Qingruo, now Shen Xinyue, a commoner's daughter, has become the princess of the regent's palace. This matter is a foregone conclusion. This is also a warning. What rules the world cannot be changed.

As for you, now that you have become Zi Yao's wife, you should correct your attitude and recognize your identity."

Seeing the cold face of the old princess, Lan Qingruo quickly put down the tea cup, knelt down in front of the old princess, and said swornly: "Princess Mingjian, Qingruo always remember your identity, Zi Yao and I are sincere, and I am also true to Zi Yao. Never have a second mind.

What Qingruo is thinking now has the same purpose as the princess, that is to help Ziyao in the future and help him in his future. Please rest assured, princess."

Hearing Lan Qingruo's expression of loyalty, the old princess's cold face softened slightly, and she probably gave her a few words, asking her to wait patiently in the Buddhist hall for the expiration of her term, and wait until she left the Buddhist hall. After making some plans, I left the Buddhist hall with the support of Grandma Li.



After Huo Weilou returned home, a close aide came forward and reported to him in detail the fact that the emperor had sent people to deliver rewards.

Huo Weilou nodded to show that he understood. After thinking for a while, he asked, "How did the princess react?"

The confidant replied: "When receiving the order, the princess did not react at all, as if it was an ordinary thing. However, after the people in the palace left, when the rewards were put into the treasury, the princess only said that these things are messy and messy. It takes up space and is of no great use, so it’s better to just give money directly.”

"Give money directly?" Huo Weilou had a question mark on his face, "Is the princess very short of money?"

When the confidant first heard what the princess said, he couldn't understand it. However, he later made a guess and explained to the regent according to his guess: "According to my guess, it may be with the princess. It’s related to my natal family’s business.

I heard that the princess’s natal family is a well-known wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and their business is spread all over the country. Maybe they need money or something?”

"Well, in this case, you go and arrange it. All the banknotes, gold and silver in the king's private treasury will be at the disposal of the princess, and you can take them as you please." Huo Weilou said.

The confidants nodded in agreement.

"Also, regarding the housekeeper's rights, you should remind someone to send all the account books from the house to the princess."

The confidant was surprised and reminded Huo Weilou, "Your Majesty, the stewardship of this palace has always been with the old princess. The old princess didn't say anything, so she sent the account book to the princess. I was afraid that the old princess would have any objections.

Disrespect."

Huo Weilou sneered and thought to himself, he was right, he just wanted to let them have opinions, but he said: "It is the right thing for the regent princess to be in charge of the palace. This is the historical rule. My mother must have arranged this arrangement."

They understand it too. Just go and do it."

The confidant bowed his head respectfully and said yes, and then went to make arrangements after receiving the order.
