The Tenth Prince was originally smiling, but when he saw the twins' mischievous smiles, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He rushed straight to Jiang Fan's residence from the palace, but he didn't prepare any red envelopes at this time.
What should I do? What should I do?
The Tenth Prince's face turned blue and red with anxiety. He searched his arms again and again but couldn't find a single penny.
"Uncle Shi, where is our New Year's money?" the two asked in unison again.
The Tenth Prince smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "Well, why do you need lucky money at such a young age? Your Tenth Uncle will save it for you first. When you grow up and get married, your Tenth Uncle will give it to you. I guess your Tenth Uncle has given you a lot of good things on weekdays. Go play with those first."
Faced with such an argument, the twins refused to accept it. Their father and mother had used this trick before, and they would not be fooled.
"Uncle Shi, do you still think we are two-year-old children? Don't try to trick us with the same tricks you use on children."
Hearing this, the Tenth Prince widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ranli. Only she could raise such an eloquent child.
Seeing the Tenth Prince's pleading eyes, Jiang Ranli contentedly picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely, with a cunning look as if he was watching the fun.
Seeing that asking Jiang Ranli for help was hopeless, the Tenth Prince turned his attention to Jiang Fan, but Jiang Fan was just chatting with Jiang Ranli and pretended not to see him.
Seeing this, the Tenth Prince was extremely depressed. In front of him were two twins who were saying auspicious words and asking for red envelopes. Sighing, the Tenth Prince reluctantly took out two jade rings and a jade pendant from his arms. These were just awarded to him by the Emperor today, and he had not yet played with them carefully.
The Tenth Prince gave the jade rings to Hongqi and Hongxiang respectively, and then handed the jade pendant to Jiang Ranli, saying, "This is for the little meatball. That heartless little girl didn't even come back to see her uncle during the New Year."
Although the Tenth Prince didn't say anything else, his expression was very painful. He had just warmed those things in his arms, and he wanted to keep them warm for a while longer.
Jiang Ranli couldn't help laughing when he saw the Tenth Prince's expression, and then ordered Dongxue to bring over the brocade box that had been prepared long ago.
"Tenth Prince, this is a New Year's gift," Jiang Ranli said as he opened the brocade box and handed it to the Tenth Prince.
When he heard there was a gift, the Tenth Prince immediately became interested, and when he saw what was inside the brocade box, he instantly smiled.
"Li'er, it's worth it that I've loved you for so many years. Very good, very good. I like this gift very much." The Tenth Prince played with the gift in the brocade box and couldn't let it go.
In fact, the gift prepared by Jiang Ranli was a root carving, which was far less valuable than the ones given by the Tenth Prince to Hongqi, Hongxiang and Xiaorouqiu. However, that root carving was made by a famous artist and was made of very precious wood, so it was also very valuable. The main reason was that the Tenth Prince liked it. Money can't buy love, and the sentiment behind it is great.
As they were talking, the doorman came and told them that the eldest prince and Princess Minyan from Jiu Ye's mansion had arrived.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli widened her eyes slightly. She didn't expect Hongzheng and Minyan to come, so she quickly asked the doorman to bring them over.
Back when they were in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Jiang Ranli got along very well with Hongzheng and Minyan, and treated them as her own children. Now she hadn't seen the two children for a long time, so she was a little looking forward to it and was very happy.
Not long after, Hongzheng and Minyan came in with the doorman. When they entered the room and saw Jiang Ranli, they were stunned for a moment, but then a smile appeared on their faces and they trotted towards her.
"Auntie Wan, we miss you so much."
