Chapter 157 The Little Prince Like a Locust (2 more)
The little concubine blinked her eyes, as if she had not yet reacted. How did things turn out like this? Didn’t she come here to ask for the reward silver?
The little concubine was very frustrated at losing 5,000 taels of silver, and walked directly to her own bedroom.
On the way, she happened to meet a good sister who taught her method. Before she could speak, she asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the method my sister taught you useful? How much silver did the emperor reward you?"
When she mentioned silver, the little concubine was sad, "The emperor didn't reward you with silver."
"Impossible? The emperor ate your dowry, how could he not compensate you?"
The little concubine sighed, "The emperor didn't drink the bird's nest."
"No wonder! You are so stupid, you must have watched the emperor drink it before you pointed out the origin of the blood swallow?" The other party was angry.
"The emperor didn't drink it, but you said it, so how dare the emperor drink it?"
When the little concubine heard it, she understood why everyone got silver, but she failed.
Thinking of the square-sized dressing mirror, the little concubine was even more sad.

"Did he follow you?" Lu Chengtian asked as he walked quickly.
Dequan looked back and said, "Your Majesty, no."
Lu Chengtian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't catch up, otherwise, his private treasury would suffer another loss!
He didn't know what was going on these days, but the concubines in the harem were all very enthusiastic, and they all sent him food in various ways. They
used extremely precious medicinal herbs or ingredients, and the common point was that they were all related to his natal family. They were either dowries or sent by his family when they visited the palace. He felt like compensating them every time he finished eating.
In this way, he gave away a lot of silver. When he came to his senses, there was 200,000 taels less in his private treasury!
Fortunately, he walked fast today, otherwise, the minimum 5,000 taels would be gone again!
"How is the investigation going? The concubines in the harem would not do this for no reason. What is the reason?" Lu Chengtian asked.
Dequan's heart began to beat. Why did he have to answer this question every time?
He considered his words, "Your Majesty, there is a kind of mirror that is popular in the capital recently. I guess the ladies like it very much."
Mirror?
Isn't that the birthday gift given by the prince to the empress dowager? Not
only the empress dowager, the eldest princess, the emperor's uncle, but also Princess An have one, but his father doesn't have one!
Although it is said that men don't need mirrors, Lu Chengtian feels very aggrieved when he thinks that others have one but he doesn't.
After hearing what Dequan said, Lu Chengtian understood everything. He guessed that the concubines in the harem also wanted to buy a small mirror, so they found ways to extort money from him! When
he thought about it, his unlucky son not only did not give his father a mirror, but also wanted to make money from him!
Lu Chengtian couldn't help but feel itchy when he thought that the 200,000 taels of silver in his private treasury yesterday might be lying in his unlucky son's warehouse today.
"Where is the prince?" Lu Chengtian asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the prince is in the Imperial Hospital." Dequan was very respectful, fearing that he would be angered.
"But is there any problem with your health?" Lu Chengtian's attention was immediately diverted.
"I'll go and find out now." Dequan turned around and was about to leave.
Then Lu Chengtian continued, "If you need any medicinal materials, take them from my private storehouse."
Dequan understood immediately and left immediately after receiving the order.
The emperor still cares about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It would be great if His Royal Highness could change his weird hobbies.
It's either raising pigs or playing in the mud. This is really outrageous. No wonder the emperor is angry.
When Lu Zexu went to the Imperial Hospital, it was like a swarm of locusts. All the medical books that were somewhat useful were collected by him, under the pretext that he was not in good health and needed careful care.
He also had to study hard.
Anyway, Lu Zexu's ability to fool people is getting deeper and deeper. At present, the most difficult person to fool is the third prince who is ambitious for the position of crown prince, but in the end he succeeded.
The third prince has already rolled up.
As for the others, Lu Zexu has not failed so far.
What can the imperial physicians say?
He is the prince!
Looking at his pale face, what dare they say?
He is the prince!
However, looking at the thick stack of medical books, a young imperial physician couldn't help but speak.
"Your Highness, you don't need to waste your time and energy studying "Golden Prescriptions for Women". It is not suitable for you."
In other words, the medical book can be kept.
Lu Zexu smiled nonchalantly, "Who said it is not suitable? I will marry the crown princess in the future. I can learn it first."
The young imperial physician: "..."
This was something he didn't expect.
He pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, you don't need "Prescriptions for Children" now."
So, it's better to keep this book!
Lu Zexu smiled even more brilliantly, "I will definitely need it. When I marry the Crown Princess, I will naturally have children."
Young imperial physician: "..."
Well, it seems that no one can stop this robbery today.
When Dequan arrived at the Imperial Hospital, the imperial physicians looked as if they had lost their parents. Only after he asked did he know what had happened.
When asked about the condition of the Crown Prince, the imperial physicians answered even more cautiously.
His face was pale, his steps were weak, he was timid and short of breath. In a word, he did not look very healthy and needed to be taken care of.
After Lu Chengtian learned of the situation, he changed his mind about continuing to attend court with his unlucky son. After all, his health was more important.
Forget it, let's find some bird's nest supplements and send them over so that he can take good care of his body.
After seeing these things, Lu Zexu regretted it so much.
If he had known that if he was not in good health, he would not only be rewarded, but also not have to go to court and work. The little prince regretted why he didn't think of this method earlier!
No need to work, and there are rewards, this is a great thing.
He must stay weak!
Lu Zexu was preparing to pack half of it and send it to his sister in the evening, when he heard an angry voice, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you look down on me?"
Looking at the gloomy face of the second prince, Lu Zexu was confused, "Second brother, what are you talking about?"
The second prince was very angry.
Ever since he heard the news that the third prince was crowned king, he felt very uncomfortable. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene of discussing the crowning of the king with the third prince last time.
