Xiao Jiuan has always been a self-centered and arbitrary person. In his understanding, what is his is his, and he can give it to whoever he is willing to give it to. And what he is not willing to give, no one can take it away, and no one can take it away.
Before he took over the Yanbei Palace, the Yanbei Palace was not only impoverished but also heavily in debt. The old Yanbei King left him nothing but a throne and 300,000 stupid soldiers who needed food.
In the six years since he took over the Yanbei Palace, he paid off a large amount of debts for the old Yanbei King, supported the Yanbei Army of 300,000 people, trained the 300,000 stupid soldiers to a respectable level, and finally saved a little wealth.
Except for the 300,000 troops, the old Yanbei King left him nothing. Everything the Yanbei Palace has now was acquired by him bit by bit.
In his opinion, there is no difference between him using Yanbei Palace's money to raise an army and Ren Jiyunkai's squandering. They are all his things. He can support whomever he wants and give flowers to whomever he wants, let alone Xiao Shaorong.
, not even the Emperor can control the princess Xiao Jiuan coaxed with his own money.
What's more, he didn't do this just to coax Ji Yun to open his eyes.
Hearing Xiao Shaorong's repeated questioning, Xiao Jiu'an became really angry. He looked at Xiao Shaorong coldly and said in a cold voice: "I want to continue spending time with you. Do you have any idea?"
The last four words, Xiao Shaorong bit them very lightly and spoke them very slowly. It made people's tail vertebrae shiver and scalp numb for no reason. Xiao Shaorong trembled and took a step back uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, yes,
If you have something to say, please say it, don’t, don’t be angry!”
He just gave me some advice but didn't say anything heartbreaking. Why did the prince get so angry?
The prince is not a man of the family, and he doesn’t know how much money he has spent.
"I'm not angry. I'm asking you, do you have any opinion?" The tone was still slow and low, but Xiao Shaorong could hear his heart pounding. He was not excited but frightened.
"No, no, I have no objection." Xiao Shaorong shook his head hastily, fearing that a step too late would make Xiao Jiuan unhappy.
"If you don't have any objection, get out!" A cold knife was thrown at Xiao Shaorong, and Xiao Jiuan did not hide his dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to say." Xiao Shaorong really wanted to turn around, but thinking of what Feng Qi had explained, he had to bite the bullet and speak.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Xiao Jiu'an urged him impatiently. Xiao Shaorong did not dare to delay and said hurriedly: "Feng Qi asked us where we want to make alchemy? In the city or outside the city? He has prepared the tools for alchemy."
It is true that they dug a gold mine, but those are just ores and cannot be used without smelting. Tianqi stipulates that people are not allowed to refine gold. The emperor must know that it is a small thing to be punished by the emperor, and it is a serious crime to be punished with death.
They must be careful about this kind of thing, so as not to fall into the hands of the emperor.
Xiao Jiu'an thought for a moment and said: "Outside the city, I will let Crown Prince Duan inform him of the specific location."
"What does this have to do with Prince Duan? Prince, do you want to tell Prince Duan about this? You must not do it. Prince Duan..." Xiao Shaorong persuaded eagerly, but before he could finish speaking,
Xiao Jiuan interrupted him impatiently: "You just need to keep your mouth shut."
He is not a child of two or three years old. How could he not know that the less people know about this kind of thing, the better. Has Xiao Shaorong not gone out with his brains recently?
"It would be fine if it wasn't, it would be fine if it wasn't." Xiao Shaorong patted his chest, with a look of joy on his face: "I thought you wanted to bring Prince Duan in, too."
This time, Xiao Jiuan was not even in the mood to talk to Xiao Shaorong, and without even looking at Xiao Shaorong, Xiao Jiuan picked up his pen and continued to reply to the unfinished letter.
When Xiao Shaorong saw this, he could only touch his nose and leave honestly.
When he went out and smelled the fragrance of flowers and plants in the courtyard, Xiao Shaorong suddenly felt refreshed and his whole body felt relaxed.
Looking around, the whole courtyard is green. Since it is early winter, it is also full of vitality, which makes people feel happy. Although Xiao Shaorong feels sorry for the money wasted by Xiao Jiuan, he has to say that after the princess's arrangement, the whole courtyard has become a green place.
The mansion looks much more comfortable and popular.
"It's really beautiful to do this." Strolling through Yanbei Palace, Xiao Shaorong did not rush in and out like before, but stopped to carefully appreciate every scene and grass in Yanbei Palace.
"Is it possible that after marrying a wife, a person really changes so much? It turns out that the prince is not a person who puts his energy and attention on flowers and plants. Now he actually has the intention to order people to collect exotic flowers and herbs to make the princess happy.
?" Xiao Shaorong became more and more surprised as he watched. The palace had completely changed. This was not something that could be done casually. It was obvious that the prince had put a lot of thought into it.
"Is it possible that the princess has really become beautiful? Master Feng Qi detoxified her? But after detoxing, why does the princess still wear a mask? Is it to cover up her beauty?" Xiao Shaorong had seen Ji Yunkai's ugly appearance, and he couldn't help but wonder.
I thought that the prince would be interested in a woman whose face was covered with black spots and was as ugly as a ghost.
"Other than that, I can't find any other reason to explain it." The more Xiao Shaorong thought about it, the more he thought it was this reason, and he became more and more curious about Ji Yunkai's true appearance under the mask at this moment.
"It will be interesting to think about it." Thinking of the ridicule of their prince and the contempt for Ji Yunkai by everyone in the capital, Xiao Shaorong became more and more looking forward to Ji Yunkai taking off his mask and making a stunning appearance.
At that moment, it must have been extremely refreshing.
"I hope I can see it." Thinking of Ji Yunkai's stunning appearance with half a mask on, Xiao Shaorong suddenly found that his heartbeat accelerated.
Xiao Shaorong was secretly annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He just quickened his pace and walked out. But after walking a few steps, he heard a familiar voice.
"This wintersweet cannot be planted here. Move it and move it back. Only pines and cypresses should be planted near Hanshui Hall."
This voice was made by Ji Yun, and Xiao Shaorong swore that he would not hear it wrong.
Somehow, Xiao Shaorong stopped and looked along the sound, only to see...
Ji Yunkai, dressed in coarse linen clothes, stood among the trees. It was obviously such a casual stop, but he was so charming that people couldn't take their eyes away.
The color of the linen clothes is dull, but when Ji Yunkai wears it, it feels more leisurely, as if she was born this way; her perfect profile face exudes a healthy luster in the sun, and her white neck is alluring.
; A strand of her long hair, which was tied into a double bun, fell down at some point, hanging by her ears, dancing lightly in the wind, making people want to step forward and pick up her long hair.
Xiao Shaorong thought so and did the same. He took a step forward involuntarily, and when he realized what he was doing, he had already walked in front of Ji Yunkai.
"Young Master Xiao?" Ji Yunkai saw Xiao Shaorong coming from a distance. He only called a few times but saw no reaction from him.
"Ah...Princess, you called me? Are you okay?" Xiao Shaorong was stunned for a moment, and quickly took back the hand he was about to extend, put it behind his back, and pretended that he had done nothing.
