"Hmm~, I don't have any left! If you want some, buy some yourself!"

Upon noticing Xi Zhicai staring at him expectantly, Liu Hong refused Xi Zhicai without hesitation.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty has no money left!!"

Xi Zhicai lowered his head in embarrassment, his voice growing softer and softer.

"Hmm? I just gave you your salary a few days ago, and it's gone in just a few days? Did you go to the Cuihong Pavilion again?"

Upon seeing Xi Zhicai's expression, Liu Hong frowned and looked at him with displeasure.

"No...no, I'm planning to buy a house in Luoyang!"

"Buy a house? Didn't I already give you a small courtyard house? Why would you need to buy a house?"

Liu Hong was taken aback for a moment, and gave Xi Zhicai a strange look.

"That little courtyard, it..."

"Too small? Too old? Or does Zhicai want to settle down and start a family?"

Seeing Xi Zhicai's stammering, Liu Hong couldn't help but smile.

"I have both. It's fine for me to live there alone, but if it's...!"

In the end, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but shake his head and give a bitter smile.

Are housing prices in Luoyang very high now?

Seeing Xi Zhicai's expression, Liu Hong asked with curiosity.

He never imagined that people in this era would also be troubled by housing issues!

"Your Majesty, do you know how much that small courtyard house you gave me is worth now?"

Xi Zhicai did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"How much??"

Liu Hong couldn't help but ask.

Two million coins...!

Xi Zhicai held up two fingers and shook them with a bitter expression.

"What...? It's actually that expensive?"

Upon hearing the price quoted by Xi Zhicai, Liu Hong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
