Chapter 32: Give me the Yaohua Palace?

[Reward me?]

Upon hearing Chu Chengye say this, Cheng Jin's eyes immediately lit up, her back straightened straighter than usual, and the expectation on her face could not be concealed at all.

[Are you going to reward me with rare treasures, or with a huge amount of gold?]

[If you must reward me, I would rather bear the loneliness of a rich man.]

[The mood of this tyrant is really unpredictable. If I had known that I would be rewarded for saying a few words, I would have shown you what a chatterbox is.]

Chu Chengye coughed lightly, interrupting Cheng Jin's wild thoughts. Even Cheng Yishou, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but blush when he heard Cheng Jin's thoughts.

Cheng Jin finally came out of her imagination and bowed slightly. "I just said a few words that should have been said. I have no merit. If the emperor must reward me, I will not refuse."

She said it so tactfully. In fact, Cheng Jin did not look like she wanted to refuse at all. She looked at Chu Chengye eagerly, as if she would go up and pry open Chu Chengye's mouth if Chu Chengye did not speak again.

Chu Chengye looked at Cheng Jin's expression and could not help laughing, but he forced himself to hold back.

"I heard that your palace is far away and very inconvenient. Many times, the eunuchs in the palace always forget your residence when distributing things. How about I give you another residence?"

[Ah? ]

[Just like that? ]

[You might as well not say it. Cheng Jin

's face immediately fell, but she still maintained her appearance. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yishou beside her knelt down to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Jin was forced to kneel on the ground as well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Jin spoke in a low voice, as if she couldn't muster up the energy.

[Look, look, look.]

[Thank him? I think this tyrant wants to thank us. Our Cheng family helped this tyrant get rid of Zhou Quan. Maybe it will allow his emperor to stay for another two years. This is how he rewards me?]

Chu Chengye listened to Cheng Jin's inner voice and interrupted her calmly, "In that case, how about I let you live in Yaohua Palace?"

What?

Yaohua Palace?

Cheng Jin looked at Chu Chengye with wide eyes, and Cheng Yishou was overjoyed and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cheng Jin was completely stunned.

The Yaohua Palace was originally built by the late emperor for his favorite concubine. The amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources consumed was staggering. The late emperor was called a tyrant by the world, and he only thought about greed and pleasure every day. The favored concubine Yao was even said to be a witch, who seduced the people with her evil words and confused the emperor's mind.

Hearing about the extravagance of the Yaohua Palace, the bricks and tiles in the palace were made of gold, the pillars in the courtyard were made of jade, and even the pond inside was full of jade.

Although Cheng Jin was greedy, she cherished her life.

If she moved in, she might not be able to handle the overwhelming wealth and would die inside within three days.

Cheng Jin hesitated for a while, but still felt that her life was more important. "Your Majesty, please take back your order."

"It is my blessing that my words are useful to Your Majesty, but I really cannot afford such great wealth."

[Can't you give me something practical?]

Cheng Jin thought about it. Indeed, as a concubine in the harem, her salary was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If Cheng Jin was given so much money, she would have nowhere to put it. It would be better to change her residence.

First, the Yaohua Palace is indeed luxurious, which satisfies Cheng Jin's love of money. Second, the Yaohua Palace shows that the emperor's grace is there, saying that Cheng Jin is deeply valued by the emperor.

Cheng Jin doesn't want it.

The harem is competing for favor. Although now there are only her and the confined Hui Guiren in the harem, it can be considered quiet now, but what about the future? ! What if she was killed by the jealousy of Chu Chengye's new favorite before she could find a way to leave the palace?

It would be better to stay alone in the harem, away from Chu Chengye. Although it would be a little lonely, at least she could still make a living with the help of Cheng Yishou.

Chu Chengye did not expect Cheng Jin to refuse, and he could not help but sneer.

Didn't Cheng Jin say that she would search the palace herself?

Now that she has been given this honor recognized by the world and the wealth, she actually refused?

"There is no reason to take back what I have said. I reward you for living in Yaohua Palace. You can live there to see you or not, and you can deal with Yaohua Palace as you wish."

After hearing Chu Chengye say that she didn't have to live there, and that Cheng Jin could deal with the things there by herself, Cheng Jin was immediately delighted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

These three words were spoken in a clear and sonorous voice.

Chu Chengye rubbed his brows, waved his hand, and let Cheng Jin go down, and he listened to Cheng Yishou's discussion of the cause and effect of this matter.

After Cheng Jin went out, she saw Cheng Sheng hiding at the door and

eavesdropping. She deliberately walked behind Cheng Sheng and suddenly spoke to scare him.

Cheng Sheng was listening attentively, and was frightened by Cheng Jin. He patted his chest and calmed himself down, glaring at Cheng Jin without anger.

Cheng Jin looked at him with a smile, "It is a capital crime to eavesdrop on the emperor's words privately. What do you want to hear?"

Cheng Sheng didn't care about Cheng Jin's jokes, and carefully looked around to see if there was anyone, and then pulled Cheng Jin to the backyard to talk like a thief.

Cheng Jin lost her patience with him, "You are sneaking around, are you trying to rebel?"

This sentence seemed to hit Cheng Sheng's heart. He panicked visibly, stepped forward to cover Cheng Jin's mouth, and spoke in a low voice.

"Tell your brother how you are doing in the palace?"

Cheng Sheng had naturally heard those rumors. Cheng Jin's residence was in the most remote place in the palace. Normally, let alone receiving favors, she might not even see the emperor. Concubines

who were not favored in the palace were not as good as palace maids. Cheng Sheng also knew this. Although he could not influence the emperor's thoughts, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Cheng Jin living such a life.

If he said that he had done a favor this time, he would definitely use the reward on Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin was silent for a long time, and didn't know how to answer Cheng Sheng.

It is said that living with the emperor is like living with a tiger, let alone Chu Chengye, a vicious tiger with a violent temper. She has to be worried all the time, how can she live a good life?

But if he said it out loud, Cheng Sheng would inevitably worry and do something against the rules.

Cheng Jin pretended to smile and patted Cheng Sheng on the shoulder, "Don't worry about me. Didn't you hear that the emperor just rewarded me with a piece of Yaohua Palace? When you get married, I will secretly give you a gold floor tile as your private money."

Cheng Sheng saw Cheng Jin's frivolous look and couldn't help laughing, "How could I, your brother, hide private money?"

[My dear brother, please don't say that, please don't say that, it's a prophecy. ]

[In the whole book, you are the only one who is controlled by your wife. You dare not go west when your sister-in-law tells you to go east, and you dare not go back to your room when you come back late from the barracks. 】

【You were too generous and didn't care about the money in the house, and then your sister-in-law took all your financial power in a fit of anger, but you didn't dare to say anything. 】
