"Are you all here?" Cang Fu asked as he looked at the four princesses who had been arranged.
The four of them answered in unison, "Yes, Your Highness Ninth Prince."
They are princesses from neighboring countries. They are not allowed to bring guards or others to the palace, but they can bring maids to serve them.
Envoys can also follow. When entering the emperor's palace, weapons will be confiscated. Even generals will be unable to defeat them with their fists and kicks.
"Father, the four princesses have arrived." Cang Fu brought the remaining four princesses to see the emperor.
The emperor made a strange sound, "I received news that ten princesses are coming, why are half of them missing?"
Cang Fu opened his eyes and lied, "The other princesses repented and returned home with their envoys."
"I understand." The emperor cooperated without asking further questions.
"Since the princess has been brought here, I don't have anything to do." Cang Xiu finished speaking and was about to leave.
"Xiao Jiu, wait a minute!" the emperor called to Cang Xi, "take the princesses down later."
"I am not the only prince in our country." Cang Xiu said unhappily, "Father, you only talked about the reception and nothing else."
The emperor admitted that he was in the wrong and said softly, "I didn't think carefully. Xiaojiu, can you just listen to me for a moment?"
The emperor's attitude towards the ninth prince opened the eyes of the four princesses. Is this doting tone serious?
If they hadn't seen the Ninth Prince's ruthlessness, they would have misunderstood whether there was something dirty between the Emperor and the Ninth Prince.
"Do you want me to listen to you?" Cang Xiu bared his teeth, "Do I want to listen to you and get married next?"
The emperor was choked. He did have some idea in his mind. If Xiaojiu and the princesses got along, he would allow him to marry them all.
Who knew that the Ninth Prince's heart was harder than a stone, and he would kill the beautiful princess as soon as she said so.
The news that the ninth prince had killed the princess reached the palace, and the emperor was so angry that he almost broke the dragon chair into pieces.
It's really not worry-free at all. Is it so difficult for him to have a grandson?
If you want to talk about why the emperor only cares about the ninth prince and not the other princes, the first reason is because of his mother and concubine, and the second reason is that he looks good.
The Ninth Prince is the best-looking among the Emperor's many children, so he wants to raise more good-looking offspring.
It's not just talk about a beauty ruining the country. If the bloodline of the Ninth Prince can be continued, it can be put to good use.
This is also the main reason why the emperor loves the ninth prince so much. Good-looking people always have many advantages.
The Ninth Prince was already favored, and with Cang Xi's arrival, his appearance enhanced the Ninth Prince's charm, making him even more favored.
If it were any other prince, would you dare to kill the princess of a neighboring country? At the least, he would be grounded, and at worst, he would be handed over to the neighboring country for disposal.
The emperor was so shocked that he was speechless, so Cang Ji reminded him, "Father, do you not want to live a good birthday?"
The emperor heard the threat in the Ninth Prince's tone. No matter which direction he went, it would be detrimental to him.
"You brat, I can't control you anymore!" The emperor picked up the tea cup and threw it over.
His behavior was normal, but it was abnormal for him to get angry when his son provoked him.
Several princesses guessed that the emperor was a player and gave him secret codes in a player's way.
Looking at the little actions of the princesses, the emperor felt that they were a little too thoughtful, so he stopped urging Xiao Jiu to marry him on the spot.
Cang Fu avoided the emperor's tea cup and jumped out of the door according to the rhythm. Before leaving, he waved to the emperor.
"I'm preparing a birthday banquet for my father. If you have nothing to do, don't send anyone to disturb me. Princess, whoever wants to accompany you will always go to you!"
The Ninth Prince escaped, but the few princes who followed him on missions were miserable and were all summoned by the Emperor to discipline them.
"Xiaojiu! Why did you offend that old man again!" Shen Wenjun led people directly to the Ninth Prince Hall to yell at him.
It's okay to be abused again and again, but you will be angered when you return to the palace. Anyone with a temper will be angry.
"Here comes the Fourth Brother, come and help." Cang Xiang ignored his yelling and directly threw a bunch of tools to Shen Wenjun.
Shen Wenjun, who was forced to accept a bunch of the Four Treasures of the Study, was stunned for a moment, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"You'll know later." Cang Xi gave up.
"Second brother, can you cut paper?" Cang Xiu began to assign tasks to everyone.
"Third brother, do you know how to weave lanterns? Fourth brother, you can write. If you can't write a word well, you will be deducted one or two."
"Lao Wu and Lao Qi are setting up the birthday banquet venue. Lao Liu, you will be there to help. Lao Ba, you will go shopping with me later."
"Where is the eldest brother?" Shen Wenjun was a little dissatisfied, "Xiaojiu, are you too partial?"
"Isn't the emperor looking for his little cutie?" Cang Xi said matter-of-factly.
"Do you want to disturb him? You can't beat the emperor. If this matter reaches the ears of the father, you will still have to be punished."
Although this question sounds reasonable, it is really mean for the Ninth Prince to say it with such contempt!
"Let's just follow the arrangement. Don't fight, fourth brother." Mo Xingzhou advised Shen Wenjun not to seek death.
Everyone has been assigned tasks, and theirs is okay, but the key is Shen Wenjun, who is really miserable. If you don't write well, you will be deducted money.
Cang Ji didn't care whether they accepted it or not. After announcing the mission, he said he wanted to go out.
Gu Jinong, who went out to do the shopping, couldn't refuse, so he could only take some guards out with them.
As soon as he left the palace, Cang Xi asked, "Have you brought enough money, old man?"
Gu Jinong, who was riding a horse, looked confused and immediately reacted, "You don't want me to pay the bill, do you?"
Cang Xi smiled kindly at him and said, "If you complete your task well, my father will definitely praise you."
The emperor's approval is of no use! I'm not really the eighth prince! I'll run away in a few days, okay?
Gu Jinong shouted loudly in his heart and asked, "Xiaojiu, can't we pay from the treasury?"
"To hold a birthday banquet for my father, all I need is your wishes. How can you be so stingy, old man!"
Speaking of being stingy, Gu Jinong suddenly remembered, "Xiaojiu, could you be..."
Could it be that he lost the bet and didn't give him any money, so he deliberately arranged this task to trick him?
"Stop nagging. If it's too late, you won't be able to buy some things." Cang Xi urged.
Gu Jinong said with some pain, "Xiaojiu, I will give you the ten thousand taels I lost in the bet. Can you change the task for me?"
"No." Cang Rao refused, "I agreed not to accept your money, Lao Ba, how can I go back on my word?"
The Ninth Prince said exactly what he said, but Gu Jinong's retort was ineffective. He threatened to file a complaint with the emperor if he dared to force Cang Ji.
Because he owed him a bet of 10,000 taels, Gu Jinong was taken by Cang Xiu to stroll around the streets for a day.
The Ninth Prince wanted to buy whatever he liked, and Gu Jinong paid the bill, because he was a prince and could not write an IOU.
What could Gu Jinong do? He lost all the tens of thousands he had and spent points to exchange for points.
After a day of shopping, Gu Jinong spent a total of 118,000 taels, and none of the things he bought belonged to him.
After returning to the palace, Gu Jinong was like an eggplant battered by frost, refusing to say anything when asked by others.
Until Cang Fu invited them to dinner, a large table of chicken, duck and fish was laid out, and he specially reminded Lao Ba to thank Lao Ba for spending the money to treat them.
Everyone at the table understood that this was another person who had been tricked by Xiaojiu Poison Tea, so they didn't care how much they had been cheated.
Sure enough, there is nothing you can do to provoke a grumpy person. Playing like this is really hurtful and sad.
