Xiao Ze was very happy to see how easily satisfied he was, so he went to discuss the matter with him.
After discussing it, Xiao Ze led Xiao Guangzi to rummage through his warehouse and selected several exquisite gifts, including white jade lotus flowers and a pair of emerald butterflies, which are all things girls like.
After he picked it up, he had it wrapped and put in an exquisite box, saying that he was going to give it away.
As he expected, as soon as he finished his instructions, someone quietly went to Kunning Palace to report to the Queen.
They all thought he was going to give it to Shen Mingzhu, so they couldn't wait to report it, hoping to claim credit and reward.
At first, the queen thought that he was going to give something good to Shen Mingzhu, and she was a little angry. However, Xiao Ze packed the gift but did not send it, nor did he say that he wanted to see Shen Mingzhu. Instead, he took it with him in the palace.
Two days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Xiao Ze went to Kunning Palace to pay his respects to the queen.
He kowtowed first and then approached the Queen. The Queen asked someone to bring him a new snack for the Mid-Autumn Festival, "This is the newly made sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Come and try it."
Xiao Ze ate a piece and praised it profusely. Then he acted coquettishly and asked the queen to give him a pack.
The queen pretended to be angry and said: "Are you going to meet some bad friends again?"
Xiao Ze said aggrievedly: "Mother, where are you? I just wanted to bring such good things back to the palace for the boys to try. They serve me conscientiously all year round. From the middle to the end of the year, both mother and father are
There are rewards, but I have nothing to give them."
The queen smiled and said: "There are so many things in your warehouse, and you have thousands of taels of silver a year, can't you hurt them?"
Xiao Ze said with saliva on his face: "Those are all recorded in the book. If you take one thing, you will lose another thing, and it will be shown to the mother. I can't make the decision casually. These things are what the mother rewarded me, and I will give them to them."
, they also feel decent.”
The queen laughed and scolded: "You little monkey, you are better than anything else if you don't cause trouble. Isn't it just a reward? Okay, you are old now, so my mother will give you a power."
Xiao Ze immediately looked at her expectantly, "Queen Mother——"
The Queen then said: "From now on, I will list some of the special items in your warehouse for you. There are some items that have no special meaning and are not particularly expensive, so I won't list them for you. You can keep them for yourself.
You can use your time to give gifts to your servants and friends, and the Queen Mother doesn't care about you."
When Xiao Ze heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up and said, "Thank you very much, Queen Mother. Thank you very much, Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is considerate of her son."
The queen snorted, "Since you are old, you can make your own decisions with your money, which is about 10,000 taels a year. Why doesn't Queen Mother Hua care about it? But I can tell you, if you spend this money, it will be gone."
, there is no way to take care of the Queen Mother. I used to help you take care of it, but now you have to take care of it yourself. If you are happy at first, but later fail to do anything, and you are stretched thin, the Queen Mother will not care about it. "
Xiao Ze immediately said: "Mother, please don't ignore me. If I really spend all the money by then, it will be embarrassing at the end of the year and I won't even be able to get anything decent. Let's do this.
, the son only makes half the decision, and the mother helps the son take care of the other half, as a special expense, okay?"
