Chapter 34 No, which kid can save so much money!
King Rui looked at her and explained very gently.
"No, I have some official business to take care of in the study."
Song sighed and said with some regret: "Then I will send you off respectfully, Your Majesty."
King Rui nodded, turned and left the room.
Song sat back down, picked up the teacup, and drank all the tea in it.
Then he suddenly remembered something and called out repeatedly, "Ming Yue, Ming Yue!"
Mingyue, who had just sent Prince Rui out, hurried in.
"What, princess?"
Song said gently, "Go and take a portion of the fish soup that the kitchen made today to the prince."
"Your Highness has come back exhausted, so you must be hungry."
"Bring another portion of smoked duck over; that's the prince's favorite."
After Song finished speaking, she didn't hear Mingyue's response, so she turned to look at her.
Confused, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Mingyue lowered her head and said timidly, "Princess, you should not send food to the prince..."
"I just saw you off from the courtyard and saw you heading towards Yingchun Courtyard."
Yingchun Courtyard, that is where Aunt Liu lives.
Song's voice suddenly became dry.
"Well, then."
She felt thirsty, and when she picked up the teacup again, her hands shook uncontrollably.
I felt so uncomfortable inside.
Mingyue was heartbroken when she saw this.
He immediately comforted her: "Princess, the prince has you in his heart, don't be too sad."
Song gave a mocking smile.
"Does the prince have me in his heart?"
Mingyue immediately said, "Of course there is. Think about how much effort the prince put into marrying you!"
When it comes to this matter, Song's thoughts become a little distracted.
That was seven years ago.
Although the Song family was the richest family in eastern Zhejiang at that time, she was just a merchant's daughter.
However, Prince Rui was determined to marry her despite opposition from those around him, and he specifically sought permission from the late emperor.
Thinking of this, Song's mood did indeed improve a lot.
The prince must have her in his heart as well.
Bihua Palace.
"My queen, a little boy just brought me a jade pendant, saying it was for the little princess."
Qingping held up the jade pendant with both hands and handed it to Concubine Chen.
The concubine frowned. What little boy?
Your daughter is so young and already has suitors?
The concubine took the jade pendant and asked, "Did the little boy say anything else?"
Qing Ping nodded, "He said he was the legitimate son of the Rui Palace, and his name was Xiao Ziyuan."
The Concubine Chen suddenly realized that it was him.
It seemed that Sui Sui helped him last time.
Shangguan Sui, who was dozing off on the noble lady's couch, immediately came to his senses when he heard Xiao Ziyuan's name.
"What jade pendant? Let me see it, let me see mother~"
The Concubine Chen smiled helplessly and handed the jade pendant to her.
Shangguan Sui took the jade pendant and examined it carefully.
I found that what was carved on it was a simple picture of lakes and mountains.
[Wow~ Xiao Ziyuan is quite smart. He was afraid that I couldn’t read, so he used drawings to tell me! ]
【Meet at the lake tomorrow morning! 】
The next morning.
Eunuch Chen followed the emperor's instructions and came to pick up Shangguan Sui at noon to take him to the study.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Sui was not there.
The concubine took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"The princess has something to do today and can't go to the study."
Eunuch Chen:?
What could happen to a three-year-old baby?
Isn’t it just eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating all day long?
Eunuch Chen bowed and said, "I am so brave, may I ask what is the matter with you, Princess? Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the Emperor."
The concubine Chen had no choice but to tell the truth.
"The Fifth Princess has an appointment today..."
Shangguan Lin's voice was cold, "Who did the little princess date?"
He wanted to see who was so brave!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Chen's voice became smaller and smaller.
"He is the legitimate son of Prince Rui, Xiao Ziyuan."
Shangguan Lin frowned.
Xiao Ziyuan? Isn't he the male lead?
Shangguan Lin snorted angrily, "Summon Prince Rui to Yu's study tomorrow!"
He must quickly resolve this matter with Prince Rui!
We can’t let the son of King Rui keep pestering his precious Suisui any longer!
lakeside.
The two children sat side by side on the lawn.
"My mother is feeling much better now. She can now walk around in the yard."
Xiao Ziyuan's voice also became lighter.
Shangguan Sui raised his lips and smiled, "Really? That's great!"
Xiao Ziyuan nodded, "Really."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite wooden box and handed it to Shangguan Sui.
"This is for you as a thank you gift."
Shangguan Sui took the wooden box and opened it with his small, fleshy hands.
I found a very gorgeous large gold bracelet inside.
There are several gold supports on the bracelet, and the supports are connected by intertwined branches and leaves. The gold supports are inlaid with red and blue sapphires, as well as pearls. The color combination is very harmonious and luxurious.
Shangguan Sui’s eyes widened!
[Oh my god! This is exactly my dream bracelet! ]
[Gorgeous and golden~I love it! 】
When Xiao Ziyuan heard Shangguan Sui's inner thoughts, the corners of his mouth curved up.
I knew she would like it.
Shangguan Sui blinked, "Ah, this must be very expensive~"
"It's hard for me to accept such an expensive gift. You should take it."
[Please, please, don't agree! ]
Xiao Ziyuan chuckled, "You saved my mother's life. No matter how expensive the gift is, it cannot compare to what you have done."
In the end, Shangguan Sui could only accept it "reluctantly".
Then, Shangguan Sui seemed to suddenly remember something and turned around to ask.
"No, you didn't take this from your mother's jewelry cabinet, did you?"
Xiao Ziyuan said helplessly, "How is that possible? I bought this at Treasure House with my own savings."
"The owner said this was the treasure of the store. I thought it was pretty good, so I bought it."
Shangguan Sui: ...
[No, which kid can save so much money! ]
[Oh~ I remember now, Xiao Ziyuan's maternal grandfather was the richest man in eastern Zhejiang. Eastern Zhejiang is rich, and his maternal grandfather was even richer! ]
Xiao Ziyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
I didn't expect she even knew this.
His grandfather was indeed very rich. The New Year's money he gave him every year was more than what he earned in the Rui Palace in a year.
Moreover, his grandfather was also very concerned about him and his mother. He would send them letters and money every month, fearing that they were not living well in the Prince Rui's Mansion.
When Xiao Ziyuan thought of his grandfather, his brows relaxed a lot.
But then he couldn't laugh anymore.
[It’s a pity that Song Jiacheng also succeeded because he was rich, and he lost because he was rich! ]
[The reason why Prince Rui married Xiao Ziyuan's mother was because of the Song family's money! ]
Xiao Ziyuan was so shocked that he was speechless.
Shangguan Sui reached out and stroked the big gold bracelet in the box.
All the stories about the Song family and Prince Rui came to my mind at this moment.
She pursed her lips.
[Humph, this Rui Wang Mansion only looks prosperous on the surface, but in fact, the family property has been almost completely squandered. ]
[When the old King Rui was alive, there were still more than a dozen descendants of the Xiao family serving as officials in the court. But now, there are only three left, and they are all minor officials.]
[But even these minor officials were bribed with money, and the Xiao family lived a luxurious life, which required a lot of money, so the King of Rui decided to marry Song.]
[After Song married into the palace, the Song family was worried about their daughter. Every month, they would give Song money and land to support her, fearing that she would be wronged in the palace! ]
[Prince Rui has set his eyes on the Song family's money, and conspires with Aunt Liu to poison the Song family! ]
