On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year's gift flowed into the East Palace.

Even, each family sent people to visit, and it was much better than last year's desertion.

For the enthusiasm and kindness of these people, Qi Changrong did not refuse, and did not hold the shelf of the prince of the East Palace, but entertained these people very gently and reasonably.

If the person who came was really not enough, she would also ask the people below to prepare a return gift and send it to that person's mansion.

Such an abnormal behavior finally aroused the suspicion of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

For example, the head of the household book Pei Ji.

Pei Ji looked at the exquisitely packaged gift box in front of him almost with horror.

He couldn't have imagined that he just handed over a New Year's gift to the East Palace by the way according to the rules of the court, and actually got a response from the prince of the East Palace, which was something that had never happened before.

Thinking about it, Pei Ji was a little flattered and arched his hand towards the visitor: "Thank you for the love of His Royal Highness the Prince, my father-in-law came from afar, why don't you stay and drink a hot tea?" ”

It was a little eunuch who gave the gift back, and when he heard this, he waved his hand happily, and said with a smile: "No need, Master Pei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for our family's reply in the East Palace, and he can't stay outside for a long time." ”

"Master Pei has a safe and healthy New Year, and I wish Lord Pei a high level of progress in the new year."

Hearing this, Pei Ji shamefully handed over a red envelope: "Thank you, father-in-law, I still want to laugh at a little meaning." ”

He has risen to the position of the head of the household, how else can he rise?

If it rises further, it will be on the same level as Taifu Taishi.

Now he really doesn't have the courage to expect too much.

It is his greatest wish to be able to tidy up and down the household.

The little eunuch put away the red envelope in a kind way, and led a group of gift-givers away with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the Zheng Mansion also ushered in a group of gift-givers from the East Palace.

Seeing the waiter in the East Palace coming, Zheng Lunming was a little unable to react for a while.

However, it didn't take long for Zheng Lunming to feel apprehensive in his heart.

He still remembered very well that anyone who was targeted by the prince of the East Palace generally did not end well.

It's a good day, but don't make trouble for him.

Otherwise, he will be overshadowed in this new year.

With a worried mood, Zheng Lun put on a positive look, and asked the little eunuch in front of him, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any advice?" ”

"My lord is worried, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no advice." The little eunuch waved his hand behind him, and immediately another person held a gift box: "Your Highness likes the New Year's gift sent by the Lord to the East Palace very much, and I will order the servants to return the gift." ”

New Year's gift?

In a word, Zheng Lunming became even more uneasy.

The reason why he remembered to give a New Year's gift to the East Palace was just to remind the East Palace......

Don't forget what he said last time.

The blood-colored shroud of the palace still hasn't faded.

If the prince of the East Palace doesn't do something about it, causing a disaster, I'm afraid he will vomit himself to death.

Because he clearly reminded him very clearly.

However, during this time, he did not see any action from His Royal Highness the Prince, and in his anxiety, Zheng Lunming chose a direct and effective method - to order someone to send a New Year's gift to the East Palace, and the New Year's gift was mixed with a note.

Written on the note was a code that only he and Qi Changrong could understand.

So, how can there be such a thing as a return gift?

Zheng Lunming was shocked in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Only waved the warrant, and the attendant next to him put away the return gift, and then took out a thick red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to the little eunuch without any abnormality.

To change to normal, he has no habit of rewarding the palace attendants, but it just so happens that it is the new year, and he gave a red seal, just to be more suitable for the occasion.

Looking at the red envelope in front of him, the little eunuch was a little flattered, after all, in the palace, it is well known - there is no tip for running errands for Qin Tianjian.

However, the little eunuch reacted very quickly, and immediately raised his hand to take it: "Thank you, Lord Zheng, for the reward." ”

Zheng Lunming paused: "It should be." ”

At this time, the little eunuch suddenly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has another sentence for me to turn high to my lord." ”

Zheng Lunming's heart was fiercely raised, and his voice was unconsciously thinner than before: "What words?" ”

The little eunuch thought about it carefully: "Your Highness told you not to worry, she knows everything. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Lunming's high-raised heart fell back to its original place.

In this way, His Highness saw the note he mixed in the New Year's gift.

Zheng Lunming breathed a sigh of relief and watched the waiter leave.

After taking the people in the palace to leave, the servants of the Zheng Mansion saw that their lords were gentle, and the clouds that had shrouded their eyebrows for a few days disappeared, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts for a while, what did the prince of the East Palace send to make others in private so satisfied?

You must know that Lord Zheng's pickiness is well known.

After all, he is committed to not being idle, not helping.

……

Just one day.

All the people who sent New Year's gifts to the East Palace received the gifts in return, even the Zhao family was no exception.

No one knows why the prince of the East Palace chose such a high-profile act.

As if she had deliberately announced her existence to everyone.

The prince of Donggong has always been known for being calm and introverted, which is very different from her temperament.

I was surprised several times, but in the end I couldn't find the answer.

After all, there is still Emperor Jin An above, as the prince of a country, Qi Changrong should not be so ostentatious.

At the same time, the Jiang Mansion also received something.

However, the little eunuch who sent the things seemed to have been instructed in advance, and when he came, he put the things down directly, and then turned to leave.

Without a moment's delay,

Barto looked at what was in front of him, a little unsure of what Higashinomiya was thinking.

It stands to reason that since you have already torn your face with them, shouldn't you stay away?

This ceremony...... What's going on?

Jiang Bowen casually lifted the lid of the gift box and caught a glimpse of a jade sculpture of Guanyin inside.

Suddenly, Barto frowned, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Bowen, who also looked slightly condensed, and asked, "What does the prince of the East Palace mean by this?" ”

"Can't guess." Jiang Bowen's lips tightened into a line, and there was a hint of confusion in his voice.

I don't know when he started, he couldn't guess what the prince of the East Palace was thinking and doing.

Hearing this, Barto's face became even more solemn.

In his heart, adults have always been omnipotent.

Even adults have been forced to this point by the prince of the East Palace, so you can imagine how difficult Qi Changrong is to deal with at the moment.

If you tolerate the East Palace going on like this, I am afraid that it will turn the world upside down in the Jin Kingdom in the future......

Jiang Bowen raised his hand to caress it, chuckled helplessly, stretched out his finger and rubbed it twice on Yu Guanyinying's body.

The coldness of his fingertips made his eyes slightly cold: "Now I am only glad that the prince of the East Palace still can't touch me." ”

Bato exhaled slowly, and there were two more brisk points in his voice: "I used to think about why adults would do their best for Dajin, but now I understand that only the better the reputation of adults among the people, and the more and more people are in awe, the royal family will become more and more jealous of you, and dare not touch you easily, just like now." ”

Even if Donggong had begun to suspect Jiang Bowen, there was no way to move him.

If you can't find a reason to explain to the people and Jiang Bowen's many protégés......

This situation will continue to be deadlocked.

After all, how many protégés a country's Taishi has is absolutely unimaginable to outsiders.

Once something happened to him, the counterattack of his protégés was enough to shake the foundation of the Jin Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Barto praised again: "It's still the adults who have foresight, and the subordinates sigh to themselves." ”

Jiang Bowen lowered his head, and the coolness that flooded under his eyes receded like a tide, and then turned around and returned to calm, making it impossible to snoop.

After a long time, he withdrew his hand and didn't look at Yu Guanyin again: "Since it is a gift from the East Palace, put it in a suitable place, so that people can admire and worship it every day, don't make a mistake and be lazy." ”

Barto was puzzled: "It's just a jade elephant, why do you care so much?" ”

A dead thing still has to be worshiped every day, is it really a living Bodhisattva?

Bartow was dissatisfied, and even the expression on his face was not quite right.

Seeing him like this, Jiang You said: "Do as I say." ”

After hearing this, the dissatisfaction on Barto's face immediately disappeared: "Yes, my lord." ”

……

The sixth day of the first month.

Junchen came to the East Palace as a guest.

When he heard that Qi Changrong had generously sent a return gift to half of the courtiers, Jun Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, couldn't help but look the people in front of him up and down, frowned and asked, "When did Your Highness become so rich?" ”

Qi Changrong, who didn't expect him to ask such a question, paused, and his tone was quite strange: "In the eyes of the general, is it possible to be lonely and poor?" ”

"Poor." Junchen nodded honestly and said lightly: "And it's very poor." ”

If he wasn't poor, he wouldn't have robbed him in the treasury of his family, and took so many good things.

Even the jeweled hairpin given to the thirteenth princess was something from the treasury of his monarch's mansion.

Obviously, Qi Changrong also thought of the original stubble, and most of the original sufficient confidence was suddenly unloaded, but he quickly adjusted, and said lightly: "Who doesn't have a period of financial mistakes and needs to turn over?" ”

Jun Chen rarely realized the meaning of Qi Changrong's words, and asked, "Then what does Your Highness mean that now Your Highness has successfully weathered the crisis, and there are no financial difficulties?" ”

Qi Changrong felt that this was good, so he nodded.

After returning from the Yan Kingdom, in order to make up for her or reward her, Emperor Jin An rewarded many good things several times, almost filling half of her private treasury.

The results are really encouraging.

What's more, as the prince of a country, of course he will not be as short of money as he seems.

In addition to many shops, there are also many grain farms.

Even if half of the harvest of the grain village will be transported to remote places for disaster relief, the East Palace does not have any excessive expenditures, and even the regular silver of the palace people is uniformly distributed from the palace treasury.

As a result, a year's income was enough for her to restore her former glory.

Coupled with the fact that she had other intentions this time, she was more generous.

Jun Chen glanced at her and said unhurriedly: "But I underestimated His Royal Highness the Prince, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have many means to make money." ”

"Don't dare to take credit." Qi Changrong was very modest: "It's all the people under you who do it well." ”
