Chapter 22: Money, Money, Money!

It is still very memorable to spend this special day with lovers, Su Xia blushed under the light of the fireworks in the sky, her hands were clenched too tightly by Rong Hao, and her palms were a little sweaty. And Rong Hao, who was standing beside her, showed a slight sincere smile on his face.

The eighth princess crowded around the old emperor, pointing to the colorful fireworks in the sky, and chattering endlessly. The eldest princess leaned on Rong Chao with her pregnant belly, Rong Wei held her and put her hand on his wife's pregnant belly. Rong Hai held his hands behind his back, his long body was erect, and the second princess stood behind him, and his hand behind his back held his own princess's hand. And Rong Wei was holding a small sandalwood fan, and next to him stood the third princess with a face like a flower, and the third princess leaned her head on her husband's shoulder.

The old emperor saw that his children were very happy, and he was extremely happy in his heart. In previous years, Rong Hao was a person, but this year Rong Hao is finally no longer so alone, no matter whether he is looking for a man or a woman, as long as he is happy, after all, this son has no mother since he was a child, which is the most distressing for him.

The palace banquet lasted until three o'clock, the eighth princess was young, and the emperor was old, and they all reached the time of drowsiness. The eighth princess rubbed her eyes and asked the old emperor: "Father, my daughter is sleepy, when can I sleep?" ”

In previous years, the palace banquet was only dispersed after the child, and the princes and princesses had to accompany the old emperor to celebrate the New Year regardless of their age, so that they could go back to the palace to rest, but this year the old emperor was really old, and he also felt very sleepy, plus seeing the cute appearance of the eighth princess, his heart was soft, he stretched out his hand and beckoned, beckoned the eighth princess to the front, hugged him in his arms, and said gently: "It's okay right away, my father will let us go back to sleep immediately." ”

He looked up at the children under him and said, "My father is now old, so he will not accompany you to keep the New Year." You also have your own families, so go home and keep the New Year by yourself. ”

As he spoke, he stood up with the eighth princess in his arms. Concubine Huang hurriedly came to the front and took the child: "Your Majesty, come to the concubine." Hachi is now heavy. The old emperor looked at the delicate wife in front of him, she lowered her eyebrows and was so young under the lamplight, and her eyebrows flashed with the tenderness of being a mother.

He handed the child to Concubine Huang and patted Concubine Huang on the shoulder. "Aifei, I will go to your place tonight and accompany you to keep the New Year."

Concubine Huang smiled and nodded, she was still a little shy when she was flipped over by the emperor in front of everyone, and a layer of blush floated on her face.

The empress stood up with the emperor and also stood up. When she heard that the emperor was going to Concubine Huang tonight, she was so angry that her face turned pale, and the rouge on her face covered her anger. In previous years, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Shangyuan, and Qixi festivals, the emperor stayed in Fengxiang Palace, and it has not changed for so many years, and today she actually said that she wanted to go to Concubine Huang to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

The old emperor also seemed to think of this stubble, turned his head to the queen and said: "Empress, in previous years, I accompanied you for the New Year, but this year I will not accompany you, but I will give you a license, and the eldest princess can stay in the palace this year to accompany you for the New Year." The old emperor thought that he had given the queen enough face, and he secretly felt that he was really the best in handling family relations.

The queen's silver teeth were bitten, but the good name of a good wife could not be lost, she smiled and thanked her: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." The concubine did not spend the New Year with her daughter for many years. ”

The old emperor, supported by the palace people, left the banquet hall with Concubine Huang's mother and daughter. Everyone also left one after another.

The eldest princess supported the queen, and the palace people were playing the palace lanterns on the side, and the faint lights and shadows illuminated the roads in the imperial city. The eldest princess married Xinke Champion at the age of seventeen, and has not spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace for eight years, and now looks like a mature woman, wearing a vermilion palace dress and a brocade fur cloak on the outside. There are a few golden hairpins on his head, and a step is inserted in his sideburns, and he walks slightly swaying.

She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said to the queen, "Queen Mother, my daughter has not walked with you under the moonlight of the imperial city like this for eight years. ”

The queen sighed, reached out and patted the back of her daughter's hand: "Yes, your father is really ruthless, and the daughter who marries out is not allowed to spend the night in the palace, and this rule is really ruthless." ”

"In previous years, my father's Chinese New Year's Eve must have been spent in Fengxiang Palace, but this year he suddenly went to Concubine Huang, and the other concubines must have other thoughts in their hearts." The eldest princess is the housewife in Zhuang Yuanlang's house, Zhuang Yuanlang has a concubine room, and she is obedient to the clothes, the princess does not nod, and the husband does not dare to go to the concubine's room for a single step.

The queen frowned: "Your father is old, the eighth is his old daughter, very pampered, tonight Concubine Huang is stained with her daughter's light." The night wind was cold, she pulled the cloak on her body, and her eyes were shining, "Cheap hooves, what if the emperor stays there every day, she can't compete with the palace if she can't give birth to a son, or just rely on her youth and beauty, mother and daughter are the same, and the fox charms the master." ”

"Speaking of heirs, the queen mother has to hurry up and urge the seventh child to find a woman to have an heir as soon as possible. You see that the princess of Rongchao has been more than seven months, and if she gives birth to an eldest grandson, the prince may be Rongchao. "The eldest princess has grown up in the court since she was a child and knows the importance of heirs.

The queen sighed, "Do you think I don't want to?" I've been trying to figure out a way to stuff the girl into his room in front of me, and he won't touch it. Recently, he introduced Su Xiang's concubine to him, and he was not interested, and he was disgusting to death with a eunuch every day. Thinking of Rong Hao and Su Xia's slimy appearance, she was a little sick to her stomach.

The eldest princess was a little unbearable to see her mother so anxious. "Don't worry about the queen mother, you can't like a man for a lifetime, the left is just a fresh, I've seen it for a while, and he's tired of playing with this little eunuch and he'll like women again." I have seen Su Xiang's daughter, she is indeed good-looking, knowledgeable, Rong Hao will definitely like her. ”

The queen sighed, "I hope so." I hope that God will give me a grandson as soon as possible, no matter who he is born with. ”

Sitting in the carriage, the pig's feet of this discussion were grabbing red envelopes with Su Xia.

Su Xia's face was bulging with anger, and she pinched the end of the red envelope. Rong Hao held the other side of the red envelope. The red envelope is stuffed to the full, and the amount is very expensive when you touch it.

The little eunuch tried his best to grab the red envelope, but his strength was not as great as that of the prince, so he couldn't grab it at all, and he kept this stalemate. She shouted at Rong Hao angrily: "Lord Wang, you are too domineering." If you deduct my salary, forget it, why don't you even give me this New Year's bag! ”

Rong Hao looked at her calmly, and said scoundrelly: "This is given by my father, you have stained my light, and you have eaten so many delicious foods at night, what's the problem with me taking this red envelope." ”

Bandit logic! Su Xia snorted angrily: "You also have it, do you want to dominate the two?" Too greedy! ”

"Yes, this king is greedy. You bite me? ”

Su Xia lowered his head and really bit Rong Hao's arm. The bite was not light, Rong Hao let go of his hand in pain, and there was a "hiss".

Su Xia snatched the red envelope and stuffed it into the placket of his chest.

"You're a dog, huh? How to bite indiscriminately. Rong Hao rolled up his sleeves, and there were two rows of small imprints on his arms.

"I am a rabbit, not a dog. But the prince must know that rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry! Su Xia choked back. He glanced at Rong Hao's arm weakly, and quickly turned his head again. Bites and bites, whatever.

"You say, what do you want money for? There is nothing in the palace, what is short of yours in the degree of eating and drinking? You still want money, do you have any plans. Isn't it that when you have saved enough money, you will stay away from this king and go to raise your godson! Rong Hao was so angry that he said everything in his heart.

Su Xia thought to herself, she only felt solid when she had money in her hand, and she always felt very insecure when she didn't have money. "Lord, I have to plan for the future, in case you don't like me one day, or you want to marry, and I won't be favored all of a sudden, then I'll drink the northwest wind." She pouted, "I save money for retirement, not to raise a godson." ”

"Last time, you said that if you saved enough money, you would raise ten or eight godsons for your old age. You see, it's still an idea. This king tells you that this king will never marry a princess in his life, and you don't have to worry about not being favored. Rong Hao turned around angrily, he still thought about winning the heart of one person before, the white head was not separated, he didn't even care about the issue of heirs, and even planned to pass on from the side if he didn't have children in the future, why did this little eunuch understand the amorous style, I hate you for being a piece of wood.

Su Xia saw that he was really angry, and he felt very sorry in his heart. took out the red envelope in his arms, dragged Rong Hao's arm, and stuffed the red envelope into his hand. "Oh, if you want, I'll give it to you, this eunuch is not such a greedy person, so I'll wrap it up for you."

The red envelope also carried the temperature of Su Xia's body. Rong Hao clenched it tightly and stuffed the red envelope back into his sleeve. He still turned his back to Su Xia and ignored her.

Su Xia tugged at his sleeve and shook it, but he didn't react. What's the matter with this man, he is so angry like a woman. Tentatively again, he stretched out his paw and held Rong Hao's hand. "Wang Ye, don't be angry with me, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, do you want to spend it in anger?" He spoke with a flattering tone.

Rong Hao was coaxed, and he took the initiative to shake hands, and he was a little happy in his heart. But he still kept his face calm and turned around, "This king is not angry, don't give this king a hat." Is this king so generous, the kind of person who gets angry over a little thing? ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Su Xia smiled flatteringly, holding Rong Hao's hand with both hands and shaking, "Yes, yes, my lord has a lot of adults, so he won't be angry with me as a little eunuch." ”

Rong Hao nodded her nose, "But this king has a bottom line, you are not allowed to hide private money." Again, if you don't have anything to say to the king or to your subordinates, you can do it, but you are not allowed to hide money. ”

It's too authoritarian, there is wood! Su Xia was ten thousand unwilling in his heart, but thinking of Rong Hao's weak and helpless expression in his mother's abandoned palace before, he still nodded reluctantly, Chinese New Year's Eve, just let him be happy and happy.

Rong Hao saw that she agreed, and finally showed a little smile on his face. He stretched out his long hand and scooped Su Xia into his arms, "That's how you behave." You must give your heart to this king and live with this king wholeheartedly. Don't always try to save money and run away. ”

Su Xia's face was pressed against his chest, and he let out a muffled "um".

Gonggong Li and Cuihua listened to the sticky conversation between the prince and Su Xia in the carriage, glanced at each other, and Gonggong Li saw in Cuihua's eyes, "I knocked it!" And Cuihua saw Chi Guoguo's contempt in the eyes of Gonggong Li.

The homes of the people on both sides are lit up, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is always necessary to observe the New Year with the people closest to them.
