Having received such a large windfall, Rong Xi decided to temporarily put aside the previous unpleasantness. Of course, she still needed to keep her distance from that scoundrel, the Fourth Prince.
Moreover, she now has the goods on her hands, giving her a perfectly valid reason.
"As long as the Princess is happy!"
The Fourth Prince smiled faintly and said nothing more. He didn't bring up the previous unpleasantness, after all, he didn't want to be scolded by Rong Xi again.
"Let's pack up, we'll leave the palace at 9:00 AM!"
"good!"
Rong Xi simply nodded.
Leaving the palace to establish one's own residence is the truly joyous occasion. These one thousand high-grade spirit stones and ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones are, well, just a small surprise.
After leaving the palace, she no longer had to be restrained all the time.
When Ulanara married the Fourth Prince, her dowry consisted mainly of worldly possessions. However, she owned her own estate outside the city, so if she got bored staying in the manor, she could easily go there to relax. This would save her from seeing that big jerk constantly hovering in front of her.
Rong Xi has indeed become a member of the Ulanara clan. Her thoughts and actions will be influenced by the memories of the Ulanara clan, but she is still herself and will not lose her individuality because of this.
Seeing that Rong Xi was ignoring him, the Fourth Prince sighed and turned to leave.
After the Fourth Prince left the courtyard, Su Peisheng, who had been accompanying him the whole time, spoke softly, "Madam, the Prince practiced meditation all night yesterday, and didn't..."
"Su Peisheng!"
The Fourth Prince's voice followed from outside the courtyard gate.
Startled, Su Peisheng dared not utter another word and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.
"If there's a next time, get out of here!"
Outside the courtyard, the Fourth Prince's reprimand of Su Peisheng drifted into Rong Xi's ears on the wind.
Rong Xi blinked. Had she wronged the Fourth Prince? Fine, so be it. He was a complete scoundrel anyway. Even if he hadn't done anything last night, what about before? What about in the future?
You should know that the Fourth Prince had quite a few women in his harem.
Song Gege, Li Gege, and Xiao Niangao, Geng Shi, Liu Shi, Wu Shi, oh right, and Niohuru Shi, the birth mother of Emperor Qianlong.
Of course, these are only the ones Rong Xi can remember. As for those she can't remember, there are many more, such as noblemen, concubines, ladies-in-waiting, and princesses.
Perhaps some of them were taken after the Fourth Prince ascended the throne, or even after Ulanara died, but so what?
Anyway, the Fourth Prince was a complete scoundrel.
After the footsteps of the Fourth Prince and Su Peisheng gradually faded away, Rong Xi called on Granny Rui, Granny Xiang and Magpie to start packing their things.
She didn't have many things.
After all, when she married into the palace, she knew she would eventually have to move out. Therefore, the bulk of her dowry was spent outside the palace.
There were some clothes, some jewelry, and a few cosmetics, gold and silver ornaments, and other small items—there really wasn't much to pack. As for the furniture, since the Fourth Prince's residence was bestowed by Emperor Kangxi and the Imperial Household Department was responsible for its repair and maintenance, it must have been equipped with brand-new items. As for the furniture in the prince's residence, well, it could be thrown away.
Both Granny Rui and Granny Xiang are at the Golden Core stage and possess storage bracelets with considerable storage space.
In less than fifteen minutes, everything was packed up.
"Oh, right, put those potted plants outside on the flying chariot later, I want to take them with me!"
Several potted flowers, all rare treasures, were displayed in the Fourth Prince's courtyard. They were brought by Ulanara when she married into the palace, and were collected from all over the country by General Fei Yanggu.
For example, this camellia is a top-grade variety, known as the "Eighteen Scholars".
Ulanara cherished these precious flowers and trees.
Rong Xi also loves flowers, but of course, she couldn't afford any expensive flowers or trees in the past. She could only afford some common flowers and trees that were only available in supermarkets, costing a few yuan, a dozen yuan, or at most a few tens of yuan.
"Madam, is there anything else you need to bring?"
Granny Rui personally took action, not putting the flowers and trees into the storage bracelet, but using the method of controlling objects to fix them to the flying chariot.
"It seems like it's gone!"
Rong Xi thought about it carefully and confirmed that she really didn't have anything she wanted to take out of the palace.
"Oh, right, let's go to the Cining Palace!"
After a moment's thought, Rong Xi felt it necessary to go to Cining Palace to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager. Also, she planned to give the Empress Dowager a potted plant.
Feiyanggu doted on his daughter, Ulanara, and collected many rare and exotic flowers and plants for her. Although none of them were spiritual plants, these rare flowers and plants were even rarer than many spiritual plants.
Rong Xi prepared to present the Empress Dowager with a peony, specifically the Wei Zi variety, which is known as the "Queen of Flowers".
The Wei Zi, originating in the Five Dynasties period, became famous throughout the land. It was first discovered by a woodcutter in the Shou'an Mountains, dug up, and sold to the Wei Renbo family. As the Wei Zi rose to fame, people flocked to admire the flower, making the Wei family a fortune every day.
Later, the Wei family was destroyed, and Wei Zi began to spread throughout the world.
However, cultivating a Wei Zi plant that can truly be called the queen of flowers is no easy task.
This Wei Zi plant of the Ulanara clan was acquired by Fei Yanggu in exchange for a top-grade spirit stone.
Rong Xi learned this from Ulanara's memories, and it truly broke her heart. What a spendthrift father! Top-grade spirit stones were exchanged for a worthless, pretty flower.
Now that she's here, we have to find a way to salvage some of the losses.
If we give this Wei Zi plant to the Empress Dowager, she might suddenly be in a good mood and, like Emperor Kangxi, send her a congratulatory gift—or rather, a subsidy!
She doesn't need too many; ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones would be enough for her!
"Madam, are we really going to send it?"
The magpie followed Rong Xi, looking at the blooming purple violet flower with great reluctance. She was usually the one tending to these flowers.
"Yes, we'll send it!"
Rong Xi patted the little girl's forehead, "We'll all be cultivators from now on. Cultivation requires so many resources. These things are nice to look at but useless, and they take time to maintain!"
"I have time to take care of it!"
The magpie spoke quickly. She truly couldn't bear to part with these flowers and trees!
"The magpie said, 'Which is more enjoyable, enjoying happiness alone or enjoying happiness with others?'"
Rong Xi looked at the magpie earnestly, "Giving someone a peony leaves a lingering fragrance on your own hand. We should learn to share good things!"
"Besides, I'm just giving this Wei Zi stalk to my Empress Dowager as a way of showing my filial piety. You know, once we leave the palace, we won't be able to come and pay our respects to my Empress Dowager anytime we want!"
In short, there's a lot of grand principles.
The magpie could only accept this reality with resentment.
The two nannies beside her, Rui and Xiang, remained silent, but when they exchanged glances, they both felt that Rong Xi's words were just a pretense.
