Chapter 90 How do you know I have private money?
In order to facilitate Jiang Yingcheng's plan to lead the team, Jiang Yanchuan specially arranged for everyone to stay in Lingji Temple for one more afternoon.
Jiang Yingcheng, who was addicted to studying again, pulled Yuan Liangping aside with a shy look on his face. The two little heads leaned against each other and whispered to each other for the whole afternoon.
It was not until the sun set that Jiang Yingcheng, yawning, let go of the miserable labor that he had bought with two silver bills.
Yuan Liangping looked at Jiang Yingcheng with resentment as he went back to Emperor Mingze to act cute and ask for a hug. After being picked up, he yawned lazily in the other's arms. He felt that his swollen wrists, numb feet, and dry eyes were all——
It's worth it!!
He pinched the small stack of papers in his sleeve with satisfaction, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
That was the envelope that the young prince had slipped to him when he wasn't paying attention just now. Inside should be the banknote that had been agreed upon!
The gloom brought by an afternoon of hard work was instantly dispelled. Yuan Liangping hummed a little tune, turned around, and walked towards the emerging group of ministers who could hear the little princess's voice.
"Hey, this is unfair to you, sir," Gao Siyuan greeted warmly, "When you are done, you ..."
Yuan Liangping deliberately patted the hidden pocket in his sleeve and said, "How do you know I have some private money?"
Gao Siyuan: “…”
"How did you know I was going to secretly go to the snack street to have a good meal today?"
Gao Siyuan: “…”
"Ah, look at me," Yuan Liangping said with sympathy, "I forgot that you are also someone who needs to hand over all your salary."
The smile on Gao Siyuan's face suddenly disappeared, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he looked at Yuan Liangping with a dead look.
Yuan Liangping still didn't realize it.
He pulled out a folding fan from somewhere and waved it back and forth in the cold wind: "As a man, how can I not keep some private money in my pocket?"
"Although you can't do my job, you can still go out and do some odd jobs, right?"
The sound of Gao Siyuan grinding his teeth was so deafening that even Jiang Yingcheng, who was mumbling something beside him, stopped for a moment.
【Hmm? What sound? ? 】
Gao Siyuan quickly put on a calm face before the little prince looked over, and thought with gritted teeth in his heart: I guess he doesn't want to tell Yuan Liangping's wife about this little bit of private money.
Lingji Temple prepared a dinner for everyone according to the specifications of the lunch.
After using it, they returned the same way.
The Grand Empress Dowager also followed them and sat on the sedan chair back to the palace. Jiang Yingcheng successfully exchanged five "bobos" for a hug filled with the scent of sandalwood, and he was extremely happy.
[Hehehe, Chengcheng likes grandma~]
[Grandma also likes Chengcheng the most. With Grandma supporting Chengcheng from now on, won’t he be able to walk around the palace with his head held high? ]
Jiang Yingcheng fell into a beautiful fantasy about the future.
[If you want to eat cakes, eat cakes! If you don’t want to exercise, don’t exercise! If you want to skip school, skip school! ! ]
[Hehehehe…]
The Empress Dowager: “…”
She was about to break the young man's beautiful fantasy indirectly, but when she looked down, she saw that he had closed his eyes in exhaustion and was about to fall asleep.
The Empress Dowager, who believed in strict education all her life, paused for a moment, then with a kind smile, she pulled over the cloak that Jiang Yanchuan had placed aside and gently wrapped it around the little boy.
Jiang Yanchuan: “…”
…
In the team accompanying the imperial chariot, several ministers who had received letters from the young prince temporarily left the team and each found a secluded corner.
Kan Ruifeng took out a thick stack of letters with trembling hands, his eyes anxious.
This is the key to whether the treasury of Da Rui will be full in the next ten years. As long as they can find the two mines according to the directions on the map, they can... huh?
Is there something wrong?
Although the map drawn on this piece of letter paper is also a topographic map, what can be seen marked in the middle is the elegant and graceful word "Beijing".
Is the hinterland of Beiming also called "the capital"?
On the other side, General Lei Zhixin of Gui De was also lost in thought over the letter in his hand.
What he got was indeed a topographic map, but...
The three words "Pinggu County" made him feel familiar and strange at the same time...
Suddenly, he realized something.
He remembered where this "Pinggu County" was!
Isn't this the name of the border in Beiming? !
Lei Zhixin suddenly jumped onto the horse's back and clamped his legs around the horse's belly.
General Kan, wait for me!
Yuan Liangping was still mixed in the group of ministers. He held the reins tightly in his right hand and a piece of rice paper in his left hand. When he lowered his head to look at the words on it, his expression was calm and his body was stiff.
Although he seems to be breathing steadily, he has actually been gone for a while.
After a while, his hands began to tremble violently and his breathing through his nostrils became rapid.
Who could tell him why the envelope that was supposed to contain the banknote contained a piece of rice paper with the deadly words "It was Concubine Rou Guifei who harmed you" written on it? ? !
His eyes swept through the crowd, his anxious gaze seemed about to spit out flames.
Who is it?
Who took his private money?
Jiang Yingcheng was not aware of the chaos outside at all. She curled up in the arms of the Empress Dowager and slept soundly all the way. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in an unfamiliar palace, and the person holding her had changed from her great-grandmother to her handsome father.
Jiang Yingcheng had just stretched halfway when he was frightened by a shrill scream coming from outside the door, and his whole body trembled.
"Grandmother, wuwuwu," someone sobbed as they walked inside, "You have to make the decision for Wan'er, Grandmother!"
Jiang Yingcheng had just woken up from a sweet dream, her vision was still hazy. She squinted her eyes for a long time before she realized that the person crying bitterly was none other than the beautiful aunt, the only person she disliked.
[Well, if she doesn't act so arrogant, Cheng Cheng won't recognize her.]
The Empress Dowager was stunned and suddenly turned to look at Jiang Yanchuan.
In her impression, Pan Jingwan was gentle, generous, well-educated and well-mannered, and was a noble concubine that she was very satisfied with. How come she left such an impression in the young man's mind?
If she had heard someone describe Concubine Rou Gui like this before, she would definitely not believe it, but everything that happened today proved to her that what the young man said in his heart was not groundless, so...
Did this little guy get wronged by Concubine Rou?
The balance in the Empress Dowager's heart was tilted back and forth.
The little guy is adorable, and the words that occasionally come out of his heart are full of admiration and love for them. He is a good child with a simple and thorough mind.
only……
Pan Jingwan had left such a deep impression on her in the past that she was a virtuous woman. She wanted to give both parties a chance to explore whether there was any misunderstanding.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager spoke gracefully.
"Why do I need to make the decision?"
