Upon hearing Rong Xi's words, Su Peisheng instantly realized that he had been meddling.
What the eldest prince and his wife do is their business. Whether the court should know is also the court's business.
Whatever it is, it's none of the Yong Prince's Mansion's business.
"By the way, Su Peisheng, pass on this message to me: Prince Yong's Mansion is buying all kinds of spiritual herbs, fruits, and plants. Hmm, at 30% above the market price!"
Ambition grows little by little.
Has the eldest prince ever considered deposing the crown prince from the throne?
Rong Xi pondered this question for a while and felt that the eldest prince probably had this idea, but he lacked the strength to do so, so he could only settle for second best.
But it's okay. We may not be strong enough now, but we can come back when we are stronger.
Rong Xi decided to do everything in her power to support the First Prince and his wife in helping them conquer Joseon. Frankly, Rong Xi had no good feelings towards the Koreans to the east. This country in her later life was simply a bizarre existence. What was most annoying was that the Koreans from this country were constantly causing trouble.
If the First Prince and his wife can lead the people to defeat the Koreans, then this is truly something to celebrate with a toast.
"Yes, sir!"
Su Peisheng didn't know what Rong Xi was planning, but Rong Xi was his master, and he could only obey her orders. The financial strain on the Prince's mansion caused by the acquisition of spiritual herbs and other items was not something he could worry about.
"Also, contact the people in the Prince's Mansion in the capital and have them buy up properties there as well, but raise the price!"
The fact that the eldest prince and his wife didn't rebel against the crown prince left Rong Xi slightly disappointed. However, this didn't stop her from finding ways to annoy the crown prince.
As for why he was causing trouble for the Crown Prince?
It was simply because Rong Xi disliked the Crown Prince.
Although the Crown Princess is quite good, she doesn't seem to be very popular with the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, the position of Empress has not yet been given to the Crown Princess.
Generally speaking, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will issue an edict to confer the title of empress upon his crown princess.
However, no.
Does this mean that the Crown Princess's position as Empress is somewhat precarious?
Rong Xi couldn't see through it.
After all, only those in the imperial court knew these things. And she and the Fourth Prince were now in a small border town, so they didn't know much about the ins and outs of the capital.
"Master, this... the spirit stone reserves of the Prince's manor..."
"Take it!"
Without a second thought, Rong Xi tossed a storage bracelet to Su Peisheng, saying, "It's full of top-grade spirit stones of various attributes. Go and exchange them."
Spirit Stone?
What a joke! With the Taotie, a cheat code for creating spirit stones, why would she be afraid of not having any spirit stones?
Whenever you're short of spirit stones, just feed the gluttonous beast a big meal, and then you'll have the spirit stones.
Others who want spirit stones have to find spirit stone mines, but Rong Xi doesn't have to go through that trouble at all.
No matter who it is, if they try to compete with her in terms of wealth, they will only end up questioning their own existence.
Su Peisheng took the storage bracelet, probed it with his spiritual sense, and nearly collapsed to his knees. Even with his Nascent Soul stage mental cultivation, he was severely shocked.
Others would consider themselves blessed by the heavens to have obtained one or two top-grade spirit stones. But he now possesses tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones in his storage bracelet, many of which are multi-attribute top-grade spirit stones. The value of these multi-attribute top-grade spirit stones far surpasses that of single-attribute top-grade spirit stones.
If the top-grade spirit stones in this storage bracelet were exchanged for high-grade spirit stones, and if done properly, could yield tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones.
"Master, this is too much..."
For a moment, Su Peisheng even considered running away with the spirit stones.
"A lot?"
Rong Xi rolled her eyes at Su Peisheng, "It's just a few spirit stones, go ahead and exchange them. Or, you can just use these top-grade spirit stones to buy it!"
Rong Xi wasn't just throwing around these precious, top-grade spirit stones; she wasn't just throwing them away because she had too many. Her actions actually had another purpose.
The overall strength of the Qing Dynasty was still too weak, which ultimately stemmed from insufficient resources.
Rong Xi released these top-grade spirit stones to completely disrupt the market and reshuffle the cultivation resource market of the Qing Dynasty.
Without destruction, there can be no construction; destruction precedes construction.
Human cultivators rose from the wilderness, laying the foundation for vast territories for future generations. Yet, over the centuries, humanity's territory has not expanded; instead, it has shrunk considerably. With insufficient land, resources have become even scarcer. Moreover, these resources, regardless of the land, have been depleted over hundreds and thousands of years.
If we don't change things soon, it will be even more hopeless to change them once resources are completely exhausted.
Of course, this is a broad statement.
Does Rong Xi have such great ambitions? Or rather, does she possess such a magnificent and noble character?
The answer is naturally no.
No!
Absolutely not!
Rong Xi never thought of changing this era on her own.
She's really stirring things up by doing this.
The ultimate goal of stirring up trouble was to lay a slightly more solid foundation for the resurgence of the Yantian Sect.
People all over the world have always hoped their sons would become dragons and their daughters would become phoenixes. They work hard all their lives, but ultimately fail to become the kind of people they wanted to be. They are unwilling to accept this, so they place their hopes on their offspring.
No matter how poor we are, we must not let our children suffer!
This idea has been passed down for a long time.
The ancient human cultivators, braving hardships and expanding their territories, were undoubtedly seeking a better living environment for their children. Their conquest of vast lands was likely driven by this very intention.
After all, if future generations are successful, this vast territory can be expanded even further. If the descendants are incompetent, even with a large enough territory, they can squander it for generations.
Su Peisheng was once again shocked by his master's wealth and power!
He decisively stopped talking nonsense, took the storage bracelet full of top-grade spirit stones and left, secretly vowing to do this job perfectly.
After Su Peisheng left, Rong Xi smiled and went out of the room to call for Xique.
"master!"
Magpie stood happily in front of Rong Xi, "Is there something you need me to do?"
"Go and invite Consort Li and Consort Song here!"
Rong Xi smiled, looked at the magpie, and spoke softly.
"yes!"
Without asking any further questions, the magpie quickly left to invite Consort Li and Consort Song over.
Consort Li and Consort Song are currently cultivating, but they have very few resources for cultivation, so they are very frugal with their efforts.
When the two men heard the magpie deliver the message that the Princess Consort had invited them, their expressions were identically shocked.
From the time Rong Xi was able to cultivate, the number of times they were invited by the Fujin (principal wife) could be counted on one hand.
