Only the emperor seemed calm, but his clenched white hands betrayed his inner excitement.
After a while, the emperor came to his senses.
His expression was solemn and his eyes were more serious than ever before.
He said in a deep voice: "Give orders, don't let any of what happened today be spread out!"
Cao Cheng responded, "Your Majesty, how should we record the gold and silver that suddenly appeared in the treasury?"
Such a large amount of gold and silver suddenly appeared, and it would not be hidden from the eyes looking up and down.
The emperor put his hands behind his back, looking relaxed: "Just say that the blessed girl from heaven couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so she gave me money to ride the wind." But how did the little guy bring all this money without making a sound, and how did he leave the treasury.
"Pass it quickly." the emperor ordered.
Cao Cheng agreed with a smile, Princess Xihe was indeed the lucky star who controlled the wind.
Although he was happy, the emperor frowned.
What a Sima Dao! He embezzled so much gold and silver and yet he dared to cry poor in front of him.
He wanted to see how this old man would explain at the morning court the day after tomorrow.
The next morning was the day off.
The family sat together to eat.
Looking at the two empty seats, Jiang Fengyuan wondered, "Where are Yuan Wu and Yuan Xi?"
Chun Tao: "The young lady and the second young master haven't gotten up yet."
Jiang Yuansheng frowned. It was nothing for Yuan Xi to sleep a little, but what surprised him was that his second brother would also stay in bed. There must be something wrong.
Chen was also suspicious. Yuanwu was obsessed with martial arts and practiced the trick at a fixed time and place every day, rain or shine, without missing a beat. Why was today different?
Jiang Yuancheng: "Could it be that my second brother is going to become a civil official?" He was secretly delighted. Being a civil official was good, because this way no one would urge him to practice martial arts every day.
The whole family noticed something unusual.
At this time, Jiang Yuanxi staggered in from the door.
He seemed to be still sleepy, sitting on a small stool, and nibbling on a meat bun in a daze.
Chun Tao: "Oh, Madam, why are there bruises under the young lady's eyes?"
Chen gently stroked her daughter's cheek, "Why is it so heavy?"
Her scream woke Jiang Yuanxi up.
Jiang Fengyuan hugged his daughter with heartache.
"What's going on? Tell daddy who bullied you, and daddy will beat him up!" Who dared to bully Jiang Fengyuan's daughter? He thought that the dark circles under Jiang Yuanxi's eyes were caused by being beaten.
Yuan Xi yawned and looked up, his eyes were watery and he looked like he was being bullied.
At this time, Jiang Yuanwu walked in.
Similarly, there were dark circles under his eyes, but he looked much more energetic than Jiang Yuanxi.
Jiang Yuancheng: "Second brother, what on earth were you and Yuan Xi doing last night? You both couldn't have been beaten up."
It doesn't look like it.
Jiang Yuanwu glanced at his sister and decisively lowered his head to eat.
The family tried to get information from Jiang Yuanxi's thoughts, but after the little girl woke up, she just focused on eating.
[Steamed buns, steamed buns with meat, duck legs, I can’t eat anything too greasy in the morning, hide it, hide it...]
