"Great Immortal, one hundred taels is too high, can it be less?"
The official's face suddenly darkened slightly. One hundred taels of a spiritual pearl was almost as much as his salary for a year. Although he had been greedy, he did not want to use that money.
The Taoist priest saw him bargaining and looked at him with a stern expression, "Donor, how can you lower the price of such a life-saving spirit bead at will? If you refuse to save your own life, the poor Taoist will tell fortunes and divination for other benefactors."
Yes, please give way."
Seeing that the official was so irritable, everyone urged him to give up his seat quickly. The official raised his eyebrows and left the private room angrily.
After the Taoist priest performed the same fortune-telling routine several times, Yinqi finally understood that this was a deceitful Taoist priest, and that all fortune-telling immortals were fake. He couldn't help but want to expose it on the spot.
However, the emperor on the side pulled him back and whispered in his ear, "Calm down!"
Only then did Yinqi obediently stand aside again and stare at the deceived officials. Behind him, Eunuch Li quickly remembered the names of these officials who were staying in the private room and wanted to tell their fortunes.
The three of them did not watch the deception that followed. They almost remembered Eunuch Li's name. Seeing that the smile on the emperor's face was a little frozen, they felt quite uneasy. They were afraid that in a few days, there would be another turmoil in the court.
The three of them came out of the private room, and Yinqi was a little angry, "Huang Ama, this fortune teller is obviously a liar. Why don't we ask someone from the Yamen to arrest this person, so that he won't go around defrauding people of money again."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Yiqi with a smile, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said sharply: "Yinqi, you still don't understand the rules of this world. There are many liars in this world, and this fortune teller is no exception. Can you
Don't forget, there is more than just such a fortune teller in our capital city. This fortune teller is just one of them. If he is captured today, someone else will appear tomorrow. Only by letting everyone understand the falseness of fortune telling,
Only then can we prevent them from continuing to defraud people of their money."
Yinqi was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. It was indeed true. Huang Ama's words made sense, so he nodded and stopped talking.
Eunuch Li echoed: "Your Majesty is still wise, Wu Beile is also concerned about court affairs, so he is so anxious."
The emperor hummed lightly and without saying anything more, the three of them walked to the entrance of the Yueminglou Tea Garden. The emperor and Eunuch Li returned to Qianqing Palace, and Yinqi hired a sedan to return to Baylor Mansion alone.
As soon as Yinqi arrived at the door of Baylor's Mansion, he saw a black carriage parked in front of Baylor's Mansion. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at it. It looked like the prince's carriage. Yinqi's heart skipped a beat, "There are people in the car.
Prince?"
The prince in the carriage heard the sound and lifted up the curtain of the carriage, revealing a face full of spring breeze. The prince waved to Yinqi and said, "Fifth brother, you are back."
"My brother has met the Crown Prince." Yinqi stood beside the carriage and bowed to the Crown Prince.
"Fifth brother, you don't have to be polite." The prince's eyes fell on Yinqi. Thinking about the fourth brother's suggestion to him a few days ago, he felt that it made sense. The fifth brother is the son of Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi is favored. He is
Something to be careful about.
Yinqi then stood up straight and asked, "Why do you want to come to my younger brother?"
"I came today to see you for something. We will discuss it at your residence." The prince looked aloof.
After hearing this, Yinqi was shocked, but he still nodded, stretched out his hand and made an invitation gesture, inviting the prince into the house, "Then please, prince."
Afterwards, Yinqi and the prince entered the mansion together.
The two came to the study room, and Yinqi asked his servants to make tea. The prince took a sip of the tea, put down the teacup, looked at Yinqi and said, "Fifth brother, I heard Emperor Ama praise you some time ago. Now you are going to do it."
Political affairs are becoming more and more mature and stable. I am thinking that at the beginning of the new year, the Queen will go to Yongding River to inspect the river work. I have already asked the Queen for instructions, so I will leave this matter to you."
"Prince, I am afraid that my brother is not capable of taking on this important task." Yinqi lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Fifth brother, why should you belittle yourself? This prince's judgment on people is not wrong. You don't have to refuse this matter." The prince raised the corners of his mouth, but his eyebrows remained calm.
However, Yinqi's heart has already stirred up huge waves. He has never done such a major thing alone. What if something goes wrong?
But he had no room for negotiation on the matter. The Crown Prince had just said that this matter had been reported to Emperor Ama, and he had to accept this job even if he didn't want to.
After being silent for a long time, Yinqi raised his head and faced the prince, cupped his hands and replied: "In that case, I will obey the order. It's just that I am stupid, I hope the prince can teach me more."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." The prince patted Yinqi on the shoulder, "I believe that you, fifth brother, will be able to do the job."
When Wanyue outside the study heard this, she felt very uncomfortable. She originally wanted to come to the study to see if Yinqi was there, but she didn't expect to hear the conversation between the prince and Yinqi. Her heart suddenly became blocked.
Prince, this is to behead first and then show off!
The fourth brother had never submitted the letter of report she had written to her fourth brother to Emperor Ama. In this case, she had no choice but to place her hope on the officials in the Yueminglou Tea Garden who were eager to be promoted. If the Crown Prince wanted to
If Yinqi is not in a good position, she will definitely choose to fight.
In the study, Yinqi lowered his head, but his heart was in a state of confusion, "Thank you for the compliment, Prince Edward."
"It's getting late, I'll go back to the palace first." The prince took a look at the sky, stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he added, "Fifth brother, please come to the palace and walk around more when you have time."
"Yes, the prince, please go slowly. I will send you off to the prince respectfully." Yinqi bowed respectfully and saluted.
Wanyue, who was outside the house, heard that the prince was about to leave, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards the corner of the study to avoid running into the prince. She did not want to have too much contact with him.
After the prince walked away, Wanyue took a deep breath and walked towards Yinzhi's study. As soon as she stepped into the threshold, she saw Yinzhen sitting on a chair in a daze.
When Yinqi saw Wanyue coming in, he calmed down his thoughts and said, "Yue'er, why are you here?"
Wanyue looked at her, her deep eyes as dark as night, "I was worried about you, so I came here to take a look."
Yinqi raised his eyes. What Yue'er said made his eyes become extremely soft, and his heart naturally became warm.
"Yue'er, don't worry, I'm fine." Yinqi stood up, held Wanyue's hand, and said softly. After speaking, he gently held Wanyue into his arms and smelled the fragrance on Wanyue's head.
Wanyue was hugged a little tightly by Yinqi. She reached out and patted Yinqi's back, "Master Beile, I'm a little out of breath. You hugged me too tightly."
Hearing this, Yinqi loosened his hand, but did not let go of Wanyue. When Butler Yan came to stay with Yinqi in the study, he saw that the two of them were so entangled that it was not easy to disturb them, so he quietly retreated.
