A housewarming party that no one attended made Yun Zheng earn a lot of money.
Although Emperor Wen did not come in person due to state affairs, he ordered people to send gifts.
Since Emperor Wen had sent gifts, the princes and princesses naturally had to send gifts as well.
There were also many people to whom he didn't send invitations, and he had people send gifts.
According to rough estimates, these gifts alone are worth 100,000 taels of silver.
The headache now is how to cash in on these things.
I received the gifts the day before and sold them the next day. It would not be good if this got out!
Yun Zheng thought about it until midnight, but still couldn't think of a reasonable reason to cash out, so in the end he simply gave up thinking about it.
Anyway, I still have to receive a wave of gifts at the wedding.
Let’s work together to figure out how to monetize it then!
...
...
Late at night, in the palace.
"What's going on with Lao Liu?"
Emperor Wen dismissed his attendants and called the shadow guard to question him alone.
The shadow guard replied, "Almost all the civil and military officials in the court sent gifts, but except for the Sixth Prince's wife, no one came to congratulate."
"What's Lao Liu's reaction?"
Emperor Wen asked again.
The shadow guard said, "I heard from people in the palace that the Sixth Prince seemed to be in a bad mood. He didn't even eat lunch at noon and sat alone in the backyard for a long time."
"well……"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen couldn't help but sigh.
Why this kid?
Knowing that no one would come to congratulate you, I still sent out so many invitations.
He did show all his courtesy.
In the end, isn't he the one who suffers?
The shadow guard was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
"explain!"
"The day before yesterday, the Sixth Prince went to visit the Shen family and happened to meet Yuan Gui, the commander of the Left Guard Cavalry. He wanted to learn horse riding from Yuan Gui, but was pushed off his horse by Yuan Gui, who even laughed out loud on the spot..."
"Yuan Gui? Son of Yuan Cong?"
"yes!"
In an instant, a cold light flashed in Emperor Wen's eyes.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Wen asked again, "What did Yuan Cong say?"
The shadow guard immediately replied: "Yuan Cong and Yuan Gui went to the Sixth Prince's residence to apologize..."
Because the whole process of Yuan Gui and his son's apology was described in detail.
After hearing what the shadow guard said, Emperor Wen was stunned.
Let Yuan Cong write the invitation for you?
He also exchanged the valuable BMW of Yuan Cong and his son, causing them to suffer in silence?
Does this sound like something Lao Liu would do?
After a moment of silence, Emperor Wen asked again: "Was Lao Liu's action intentional or unintentional?"
"It was probably unintentional."
The shadow guard said, "The Sixth Prince asked Yuan Cong to write the invitation because his handwriting was not good. He changed the horses of Yuan Cong and his son because the Sixth Prince had just moved into the mansion and didn't know which horses belonged to Yuan Cong and his son..."
“…”
Hearing the words of the shadow guard, Emperor Wen's face suddenly turned pale.
He thought this was funny, but also felt that his son was really useless.
Emperor Wen thought about it secretly, and then ordered the Shadow Guard: "Find an opportunity to beat Yuan Gui up severely! Just don't reveal your identity!"
"ah?"
The shadow guard was disrespectful in front of the emperor and looked at Emperor Wen in astonishment.
Beat Yuan Gui secretly?
This... this is not something Emperor Wen would do.
"Ah what?"
Emperor Wen glared at Shadow Guard and said, "Just do as I say!"
Yuan Gui pushed his son off the horse. According to his temper, he would definitely punish Yuan Gui with dozens of strokes of the cane.
But Yun Zheng had already accepted the gifts brought by Yuan Cong and his son, so it would not be appropriate for him to punish Yuan Gui again.
But he couldn't swallow this humiliation, so he could only send someone to beat Yuan Gui secretly.
The shadow guard took the order and bowed to take his leave.
After the shadow guard left, Emperor Wen couldn't help but curse inwardly: "This piece of trash! He didn't even dare to lose his temper when he was pushed off his horse! Why did I give birth to such a thing?"
After scolding Yun Zheng for a while, Emperor Wen started rubbing his head again and again.
The Beihuan delegation will arrive at the imperial city within two days at the latest.
Whether to make peace or go to war has not yet been decided.
The military strength is inferior to that of Northern Huan, and the Prince’s Rebellion has not yet been completely quelled.
There are other countries around that are eyeing the situation.
Even if we defeat Beihuan, if the casualties in Dagan are too great, how can we suppress those countries that are eyeing us covetously?
At that time, if those countries gang up on Dagan and attack him, Dagan will be finished.
But he really couldn't swallow the humiliation of giving food to Bei Huan!
Headache, a terrible headache!
Emperor Wen pondered until almost dawn, when he finally made up his mind.
Give it to me!
Da Gan was totally unprepared for a major war, and if he started a war at this moment, his chances of winning would be slim.
…
Two days later, in the afternoon.
Yun Zheng had just bought a girl who was almost sold to a brothel by her gambling father when someone came from the palace.
"Your Majesty will host a banquet in Wanshou Palace tonight to entertain the Northern Huan envoys. Please ask your Highness the Sixth Prince and his wife to attend the banquet on time."
"Okay, thank you, sir!"
Yun Zheng agreed and asked someone to show the reward to the eunuch who came to deliver the message.
The eunuch who received the reward thanked for it and left happily.
"From today on, you will be called Xin Sheng. Xin means hard work, and Sheng means bamboo shoot. It sounds like new life!"
"Thank you for the name, Your Highness!"
"Okay, take her down to wash her!"
Yun Zheng gave an order to the maid in the mansion and left with Gao He.
Soon, Gao He drove a carriage to Shen's house.
This time, Mrs. Shen did not claim to be sick and not see him.
When entering the room, Yun Zheng deliberately glanced at Ye Zi and saw that Ye Zi was also looking at him with a meaningful smile.
Yun Zheng winked at her quietly and gave her a knowing smile in return.
It seems that Ye Zi understood the signal that she asked Shen Luoyan to convey to her.
A smart woman indeed!
Hope to be under your command!
After a brief greeting, Yun Zheng explained his purpose.
Although Shen Luoyan was reluctant, since this was a special request from Emperor Wen, she had no way of refusing and could only agree reluctantly.
"I'm going to embarrass myself with you tonight!"
In the carriage, Shen Luoyan kept a distance from Yun Zheng, looking displeased.
Those who are going tonight must be princes, princesses and important officials of the court.
If I go to the banquet with Yun Zheng, I will only be laughed at!
She didn't believe that Yun Zheng was hiding his strength and biding his time!
What's the point for him to keep a low profile when he's a cowardly prince with no foundation and no power?
Can he still go to heaven?
The second sister-in-law was just speaking well of Yun Zheng so that she could accept him sooner!
"Let's just eat more food and talk less."
Yun Zheng smiled casually, "We can just leave after we have enough food and drink."
He doesn't want to participate yet!
It's so tiring to feel uncomfortable and have to engage in intrigue with others!
But Emperor Wen had sent someone to pass on the message, so he had no choice but to go!
"Full?"
Shen Luoyan curled her lips and snorted coldly: "I think it's better to be bullied and full!"
"Then relax."
Yun Zheng still looked calm and composed, "If others laugh at you, just treat them as if they were farting!"
"I don't have your ability to swallow your anger in silence!" Shen Luoyan said sarcastically.
"Then just follow your temper."
Yun Zheng shrugged, "If you die, my father can just grant me another marriage! Anyway, I'm going to die on the battlefield, no matter how much trouble you cause, it won't affect me!"
"you……"
Shen Luoyan choked slightly and was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.
She suddenly realized that this coward had no ability, but his words could make people so angry that they vomit blood.
Yun Zheng closed his eyes and smiled without saying anything.
He would love for people to laugh at him!
Even if others don't laugh at him today, he will still try to get ahead.
He is counting on his brothers to help him!
