Most of the princes who went to the banquet today were actually not descendants of the Xiang family.

It is a prince with foreign surnames such as Li Rong, the king of Ping, and Chu Yong, the marquis of Duao, although they have fiefs and eups, but they have no right to govern, and they are sent by the imperial court to guard the county and the county order to manage them.

The princes and kings of the Xiang clan all stayed in their respective county fiefdoms of Great Chu, and were not allowed to enter the Jinling Imperial City without authorization.

The fire set by the little dusk marquis burned too fiercely, so many princes and grandsons have not yet expressed their position, these princes and ministers don't want to care about it at all, so as not to burn themselves.

The most urgent thing is the father and son of the Shen Mansion. They are not the Xiang royal family, and they all rely on the shadow of the Empress Dowager Shen to enjoy today's wealth.

"Cub, do you have an idea?"

Shen Dafu said in a low voice.

How to deal with Xiao Duhou's heart-wrenching question, he was a little confused, and he didn't know what to do. However, his son's brain is spinning fast, and there should be a way.

Shen Wanbao said bitterly in a low voice: "Dad, there is no way, let's give out the silver!" I feel that my aunt has not taken care of our Shen family recently, and I am afraid that she has already been resentful. ”

Shen Dafu thought about it, it seemed to be the same.

Recently, the Shen family has neglected to respect the Queen Mother and has become less favored. The Dull Mansion bullied the Shen family like this, and the Queen Mother seemed to turn a blind eye and didn't care at all.

The Queen Mother has long been dissatisfied with the Shen Mansion's focus on making money for herself.

The whole dynasty knew that the Shen Mansion in Jinling City was the richest, richer than the princes and grandchildren. But he was reluctant to take out some filial piety. Can the Queen Mother have any ideas in her heart?

This money will come out no matter what!

As long as you can get the favor of the queen mother, the money spent will be recovered sooner or later.

Shen Dafu gritted his teeth and kicked Shen Wanbao out.

Shen Wanbao was at the table, and immediately bowed down, and said loudly: "Auntie, my nephew has saved five thousand over the years..."

Shen Dafu kicked again angrily, is it time to save money?

Now is the time to compete for favor!

Didn't he give 50,000 taels of silver before, did he spend it all?

Shen Wanbao knew that his father was dissatisfied, so he hurriedly reluctantly changed his words: "Fifty thousand~, fifty thousand taels of silver, my nephew originally planned to take it out as a birthday gift on his birthday!" Now I am willing to come out and invite Old Immortal Li to refine the elixir of immortality for my aunt. ”

The nephew of the Shen family took this head, and the princes and grandchildren of the Xiang family had no way to be turtles with shrunken heads.

Empress Cui Rou glanced at the emperor.

The Emperor nodded slightly.

It's really hard for him to talk about this kind of mediocre thing in person, so he can only let the queen say it.

Cui Rou said to all the sons and grandsons of the Xiang family: "Refining the elixir for the queen mother, this is everyone's business, not one person's business."

The emperor paid 10,000 taels, and the palace paid 10,000 taels. The nephew of the Shen family has a bigger business, and it is also appropriate to pay 50,000 taels of silver for filial piety.

The concubines are 5,000 taels, and the rest of the concubines, princes, grandchildren, and princesses do what they can, ranging from 3,000 taels to 1,000 taels each.

Our royal relatives and relatives will raise these 100,000 taels of silver together, and ask Old Immortal Li to refine the elixir of immortality for the queen mother as soon as possible to celebrate her seventieth birthday. What do you think of this? ”

"What the queen said is exactly what she said!"

"I'll wait together to make up this alchemy silver!"

"Imperial grandmother, grandson is willing to give a thousand taels of silver!"

The princes and grandchildren were immediately overjoyed.

"Queen Mother, the granddaughter will give three thousand taels of silver!"

Princess Xiang Ling said.

Immediately, many Xiang royal families stood up and wanted to donate thousands of taels of silver to refine the elixir for the Queen Mother.

In this way, each of them used less than one or two thousand taels of silver. It's still a relatively light pressure for them.

The meat doesn't hurt too much.

...

Chu Tianxiu saw that the princes and grandsons of the Xiang family had all donated silver, and finally stopped crying in grief, and hurriedly rolled and got up.

"Congratulations to the Imperial Grandmother, for raising 100,000 taels of alchemy money!"

He even changed his title to Empress Dowager Shen, and said with a smile: "The so-called rich people pay money, but they don't have the money to do anything." Everyone gave out the money, and Sun Chen had no money, so he had to work as a coolie.

Sun Chen is willing to supervise the elixir, assist the old immortal in finding all kinds of elixirs needed for alchemy, verify the required expenses, and all matters related to alchemy, Sun Chen will personally inquire about it, and urge the old immortal to refine the elixir as soon as possible.

The old immortal can't refine the elixir in a day, and my little dusk marquis will supervise it to the end in a day! ”

"Good! Tianxiu, you do things, the imperial grandmother can rest assured. ”

Empress Dowager Shen naturally approved.

In fact, she didn't care too much about the elixir.

She's not old yet.

The elixir that Emperor Qin didn't get, the possibility of getting it himself is too low.

However, the Lianxian Pill celebrates her seventieth birthday, which symbolizes a great filial piety offered by the entire prince and grandson, and the concern for her, the old woman, puts her in the most important position of the Xiang family's royal family.

That's what she cares about the most.

Xiao Duhou is the hardest working and most attentive to alchemy, so he is naturally the best candidate to supervise the work.

Emperor Xiang Yanran nodded lightly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Little Dull Marquis, the matter of supervising the work is still up to you."

I have appointed you as the imperial alchemy envoy, responsible for all matters of alchemy, and charged you with urging Li Lao Immortal to alchemy! It will be before the Queen Mother's 70th birthday... Refining the elixir of life! ”

If you can't refine it, hehe.

Let you, the little king of the pit emperor, loosen all the bones in your body.

"Empress Dowager Xie, Emperor Xie! The minister will not live up to the heavy responsibility! ”

Chu Tianxiu turned a deaf ear to the emperor's threatening hints and immediately thanked him excitedly.

As for the Jinluan Palace, all the princes and grandchildren looked like they were eager to pick his skin.

With Empress Dowager Shen covered, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Come and bite me?

In his memory, it was not the first time that the "Little Dusk Marquis" had offended their group of princes and grandchildren. Even the stupid goose wanted to cut him with a sword.

How could he care if there were more fleas on his body.

In case the Empress Dowager Shen died.

He immediately changed the court and hugged the emperor's thigh. Isn't it simple to make the emperor so happy that he is reluctant to kill him!

...

Li Nature, the "old fairy", sat on the seat, holding the wine cup and forcibly calming his hands, all trembling constantly.

The matter of refining the elixir, you are gossiping, this is decided?

You don't ask, can the poor Dao really be refined?!

Poor Dao is just habitual bragging, Poor Dao is a big fool, Poor Dao is not a big liar, and he doesn't intend to cheat your money!

Why do you have to be more serious, donate these 100,000 taels of silver, and force the poor Dao to refine the elixir that no one has ever refined?

I heard that Xiao Duhou took the initiative to ask for help and personally supervised the alchemy.

His heart almost jumped out.

Supervise the whole process!

Xiao Duhou actually had to personally supervise the work and check the cost of alchemy. In this case, he would not even have a chance to embezzle money.

The benefits may not be possible.

But the little life is about to be taken.

When the old doctor Chun Yuchun saw the old Taoist priest Li Tiantian, who looked like a mourning exam, he shook his head secretly, and felt extremely sympathetic to Li Da in his heart.

As a "miracle doctor", he deals with herbs every day, and he has never seen any immortal medicine that can prolong his life.

Even if it is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it will prolong life at most and cure diseases, which is far from longevity.

Ending without illness is already the limit.

Chun Yuchun had already told Li Nature that it would be okay to brag about it in private, don't go around bragging about your "immortal" skills.

It's okay now, being more serious by the little faint marquis, he forced the princes and grandchildren to donate 100,000 taels of silver, it's unlucky!

It is not many years before the 70th birthday of the Queen Mother.

It's time to test your "fairy" skills!
