Thinking of this, Eunuch De was too lazy to make himself look bad, so he laughed at Qian Yeming and turned around to continue standing guard.
"Eunuch De."
Murong Xiao called out to the slick eunuch, walked up to him, and quietly handed him a valuable bracelet.
This was her dowry from the Marshal's Mansion. Everything in the Imperial Palace needed to be managed, and money was needed. Qian Yeming's money was reserved for future military recruitment, so she had taken a lot of the dowry, giving it her all, taking as much as she could. Even Murong Qingyu, who had always been generous with her money, began to feel the pinch.
And these things she took were used for management.
This eunuch De was a slippery person, saying one thing to one person and another to another. It was precisely because of this slipperiness that he had risen to become the chief eunuch in the imperial palace and a eunuch trusted by the emperor. So such a person must not be offended.
"Eunuch De, you are a highly respected eunuch in the palace. My prince is in poor health and rarely moves around the palace. He has fewer people to be close to him and is less able to understand his father's thoughts. He will have to rely more on your care from now on."
From the moment something was stuffed into his hand, Eunuch De's dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince had vanished. After hearing the Crown Princess' words, he felt even more relieved.
Judging from the feel of it in his hand, the Crown Princess had given him a jade bracelet. Generally, the jade bracelets given to him by these noble ladies were not particularly expensive, but they were usually worth over two thousand taels of silver.
She gave him two thousand taels at once, which showed that the Crown Princess was quite generous. She should be considered the most generous among the other imperial concubines. He immediately lowered his head with a smile and looked at the item that the Crown Princess stuffed into his hands.
The next moment, even Eunuch De, who had received so many gifts from others that he was no longer surprised by all kinds of treasures, widened his eyes.
"This...this...this...Crown Princess, you..."
A red, top-grade gem! Oh my goodness! You can’t get this thing without thirty thousand taels of silver!
Thirty thousand taels! Thirty thousand taels in one go! This actually made Eunuch De, who had always been generous with money, start to feel weak in the knees.
"Crown Princess, this is truly too precious. I do not accept gifts without merit. How can I accept this?"
He said this, but Murong Xiao could see the greed and extreme desire in his eyes without even looking.
Isn't it because he's afraid of taking something too valuable from the prince, or assigning him an impossible task?
Murong Xiao tightly grasped Eunuch De's hand, refusing to let him go. He said with a smile, "Eunuch De is a favorite of Father. This is just a meeting gift. How can it be considered expensive? Eunuch De, just accept it."
Murong Xiao didn't need to say anything else. Eunuch De also heard it clearly.
This priceless gem was just a gift from the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to him, nothing more.
The Crown Princess has a large family and deep roots, and now she is married to the Crown Prince. This jade bracelet is just a prelude. If he can do something for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess in the future, the reward will be even more generous.
Restraining his ecstasy, Eunuch De placed the jade bracelet carefully into his arms, feeling very embarrassed, and immediately expressed his loyalty:
“Thank you for your gift, Princess. I usually serve the Emperor and I know His Majesty’s heart quite well.
