The emperor pretended to be surprised and asked, "Eunuch Liu, you didn't lose the bonus, did you?"
"Ah?!" Liu Gong screamed. The emperor didn't say anything, didn't give him anything, so he couldn't lose it even if he wanted to? !
The emperor didn't care whether Eunuch Liu was wronged or not, and continued, "Think about it again, did you put the bonus in your pocket?"
Eunuch Liu touched his pocket suspiciously.
Xiang Hua saw at a glance that this was all a scheme of the Dog Emperor. He had no intention of giving Xiao Luohao any bonus, and he was too poor to afford the money.
A bunch of neighbors were whispering in the backyard of Xianghua's house.
"The emperor is so handsome, the emperor is so handsome, it's a pity that I didn't buy a ticket to watch him dance last time."
"Who told you to be so stingy with that little bit of money? Now you regret it."
"Aunt, do you think the emperor is selecting the most handsome man?"
Xiang Hua was speechless listening to what these brainless fans said, and she opened the system to complain.
[Little melon, are these people mentally retarded? The emperor is so stingy, yet they worship him so much.]
I originally thought that the system would be on my side, but today the system did not play by the rules.
[Don’t you think the emperor is handsome? Especially his outfit today, gorgeous yet simple, simple yet elegant, a perfect gentleman! ]
[Uh... little melon, when did you become so superficial? What's the point of him being elegant and simple? He is stingy. ]
【But he is handsome. 】
【He searched】
【handsome】
【Pinch】
…
Xiang Hua and the system were arguing so fiercely that the neighbors nearby were laughing with their hands covering their mouths when they heard it.
He is the emperor, above everyone else. The whole country belongs to him, so why is he still so stingy?
How is that possible!
But the next second, the emperor's filter was shattered by reality.
Eunuch Liu searched his pocket for a long time but only found a penny.
His hand holding the money froze there, at a loss as to what to do.
The emperor looked at him and smiled, "See, I told you, the bonus is in your pocket."
Everyone sighed. Damn, the compensation for the mule’s mental damage was just a penny!
How could the emperor be so poor? Is he poor or just stingy?
There was disappointment in the eyes of the group of people.
Xiang Hua was also speechless. When the emperor handed her the penny, she had to kneel down and take it respectfully.
Huang Si Niang had just thought that the emperor would give her a lot of bonus and had specially prepared a large plate, but now there was only a penny lying quietly on the plate.
He knelt down with a smile on his face but did not smile, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Liu cleared his throat. According to convention, he had to read out today's rewards and record them. After all, the emperor was poor, and every penny he spent had to be recorded.
Although this penny belongs to him, the world belongs to the emperor, and he is also the emperor, so his money naturally belongs to the emperor as well.
No one can match Eunuch Liu's awareness in this regard.
"By the providence of Heaven, Emperor Dagua of the Zheliguado Dynasty hereby decrees that Lord Xianghua's beloved horse...oh, beloved mule be granted compensation for mental damages and a bonus of one...one...one...one cent. This money can be used to buy food and medicine for the mule. I decree this..."
Everyone was shocked. The emperor really gave a penny as a reward! Is a penny a lot of money?
A group of people doubted their ears and their calculation abilities, but no one doubted that the emperor was really stingy.
The emperor patted Eunuch Liu on the shoulder and smiled, "Eunuch Liu did a good job. You made a penny sound like ten thousand taels."
Xiang Hua looked at the penny on the plate and rolled her eyes silently. She found a red rope, strung the money together and hung it on Xiao Luohao's head.
"Your Majesty, look." Xiang Hua smiled without saying anything.
[Look at how stingy you are. Now everyone in the city knows about it. I will take this money and show it off to the public so that everyone in the city will know your true face.]
The system quickly tried to smooth things over: [Host, please don't be like this. How can the emperor save face if you do this? ]
The people around were also nervous and holding their breath. If the emperor hadn't issued an edict prohibiting everyone from revealing Xiang Hua's inner thoughts, they would have run over and covered her mouth.
Official Xiang had just heard his daughter's rebellious voice in the court that morning, and now he was experiencing the same thing again in his own home. He was almost going crazy.
Why is this living father so restless wherever he goes? What should I do if the emperor blames me?
The system was still comforting Xiang Hua. The emperor cleared his throat and smiled, "My dear Xiang, you are really thoughtful. I didn't expect you to like the penny I gave you so much that you even specially hung it up for the mule. Not bad, not bad. You are a teachable kid."
Hehe, you don't play by the rules, and I'm not a pushover either. Can your sarcasm compare to my playing dumb?
You rookie, you still want to fight with me? I don’t even need to guess your little tricks.
Xiang Huaqi's face blushed, and the voice of resentment in her heart was particularly loud.
[This emperor is so stubborn, I am speechless. Not only is he stingy, he is also shameless. He is simply invincible! ]
System: [Yes, yes, he is stingy and thick-skinned, but he is handsome, so handsome! ]
[Xiaogua, where is your brain? Shouldn't the point be that he is stingy and thick-skinned? ]
[That's not important. Being handsome is the most important thing. Being handsome is supreme. Everything else is unimportant.]
[Xiaogua, you have changed. You have become love-brained! ]
[I didn't, I've always been obsessed with the emperor.]
[A few days ago, you and I called him a dog emperor? ]
[Host, please don't slander me. It's not true. ]
