Prince Xing's Mansion.
Xing Bang had dinner with Li Lizhi in the East Palace last night and then left the palace and went home.
There were people who flattered him and submitted a memorial to advise that Xing Banggui, as the regent, his current residence was too simple and shabby, seriously inconsistent with his status, and suggested choosing a new site to build a royal palace.
The Regent is equivalent to an official position, while the King is Xing Bang's title.
This is also the reason why his status is more noble, even more powerful than the iron-hat prince.
However, Xing Bang did not agree and only changed the name of the plaque on the gate of the mansion to Xingwang Mansion.
What a fancy word, King of Side by Side with One Word.
To put it bluntly, these empty names like Xing Bangtu are meaningless at all. It's just a matter of saying where you want to live.
If there is no need, building a new house will be a waste of time and money and will be of no practical use at all.
What's more, this is your own money!
At noon, Xing Bang asked the imperial kitchen to send some wine and food, and set up two tables for the banquet in the dining hall.
There was no one else, just Liu Zhixi's family.
If things really got serious, there would be more than a dozen beauties brought back from Yanjing living in the mansion.
Of course, these girls are only serving as maids in the palace for the time being.
The remaining dozens were all placed in the imperial palace, and putting a hundred or eighty of them in the prince's palace was too ostentatious and attracted criticism.
It would be safer to keep most of it in the palace, since the entire palace belongs to him anyway.
Xing Bang still pays more attention to its own reputation, which is very necessary.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. This statement is always true.
There were only three people sitting at the main table, Xing Bang, Liu Zhixi, and mother-in-law Cui Daimei.
At the other table were Liu Zhixi's sisters and two sisters-in-law.
This is the rule. If there are outsiders, women are not allowed to sit at the table.
But today is a family dinner, and only the wife and elders can sit at the main table.
Concubines and the like would naturally sit at another table.
That is to show the order of hierarchy. In fact, Xing Bang doesn't care about these at all. It will be more lively if they squeeze together.
However, these women were very self-disciplined, so Xing Bang did not force them.
There's no need to be so formal, that would make it even more boring.
After the meal started.
Xing Bang raised his glass first, "Mother-in-law, sisters, there have been a lot of things going on in the palace recently, and I have not been at home. I apologize for my negligence."
"Come, let's have a drink together. This is my way of welcoming my mother-in-law and all the sisters."
"We are all family, don't be so polite!"
Cui Daimei raised her glass, Liu Zhixi and the sisters also raised their glasses. No one spoke nonsense, and only Cui Daimei had the right to speak.
As we were talking, I finished my first cup of wine and settled down in my seat.
"Okay, everyone, let's eat. Mother-in-law is right. We are all family. Don't be polite and easy-going."
At this moment.
A maid came in from outside the door, "My Lord, someone has come from the palace and said they have military intelligence to report."
"Let him in!"
Xing Bang said casually.
For matters that were not too important, Xing Bang would let Cao Zhengchun handle them at his discretion, but for major matters, they still had to be reported to him as soon as possible.
Soon, a eunuch came in and said, "Your servant greets the prince."
"Get up!"
Hearing this, the eunuch stood up and held up two memorials. The maid took them and presented them to Xing Bang.
Afterwards, Xing Bang quickly started reading. The first one was Xiao Xizi's memorial, which was a piece of good news, saying that a lot of money for disaster relief had been raised, and they had already started purchasing grain.
Also, regarding the rebellious rioters, the situation has been contained, and we are trying our best to find ways to make these rioters disintegrate on their own.
Good news!
It’s just that Xiao Xizi didn’t say anything specific, and Xing Bang didn’t care about it at all. This is how to really do things, and he believes that Xiao Xizi will know how to handle things properly.
"Let Xiao Xizi handle Yuzhou's affairs freely, but he must act within his capabilities. If he needs to mobilize troops or is short of money, report it in time."
Xing Bang directly dictated his reply.
Then he picked up the second memorial and started reading it, which was the memorial from Xiong Kuohai. After reading it, he threw it aside and anger instantly appeared on his face.
"Reply directly to Xiong Kuohai. The food and grass needed by Zhenbei King Liu Li will continue to be supplied as usual."
"If you are an incompetent person who has no ability to gain a foothold, then you'd better die outside."
"Also, do not allow him to take even one step back towards Yanjing City, or I will kill him without mercy."
As they were talking, all the women present, except Cui Daimei who remained relatively calm, had expressions of disappointment.
The others, including Liu Zhixi, all looked puzzled.
"Okay, that's it. Send an urgent message to the northern border within 800 miles."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eunuch responded and walked out.
There was complete silence in the field, without any sound. Although no one knew what had happened specifically, one could tell that it was his father's misfortune.
Cui Daimei seemed to know more about the situation and remained silent.
What's more, as a woman, it would be unreasonable for her to ask about such an important matter. She also knew that Liu Zhixi would definitely ask, so it would be more appropriate for her daughter to ask.
As expected!
Liu Zhixi smacked her lips, "Your Majesty, my father is in big trouble again."
Xing Bang had no intention of showing any mercy to Liu Li. He had earned his own face, so he shouldn't be afraid of what others say if he had done something shameful.
What's more, this Liu Li is really a waste!
"Humph, it's not that he encountered any trouble, but he dug a hole for himself and asked for trouble..."
