When the current queen was still in the boudoir, she was a famous cold beauty in the capital.
The prince looked 70% like the queen, and he seemed distant even at such a young age. He didn't say anything, just nodded.
Lin Congchong looked at the prince and asked, "Your Highness, why don't you have a shovel? What are you going to use to dig for gold later?"
Qi Chengxiu said succinctly: "You guys dig, I won't steal."
Next to him, Yun Xiaoan was still standing on tiptoe, looking forward to it.
Qi Chengxiu didn't want to stand here and wait. After thinking for a moment, he said, "No one will come."
The only ones who would come to give money to Wu Yunan were him and Lin Congchong.
He spent money to avoid his father, and as for Lin Cong Chong... it was unimportant and had nothing to do with him.
Yun Xiaoan could only accept this fact. The other twenty-two friends became smarter.
Alas, she can’t keep those twenty-two friends anymore. It seems she has to make a new batch of friends.
Yun Xiaoan waved his hand and said, "Let's go dig for gold!"
Lin Congchong followed excitedly and dug a hole with Yun Xiaoan.
The prince found a place to sit under a tree, took out a book and read, enjoying a moment of peace and quiet.
An hour later, Lin Congchong threw down his shovel and said, "There's no gold here at all! I'm going home!"
Yun Xiaoan said seriously, "No! Here it is! Lin Chongchong, you can't give up halfway like this. You have to learn to persevere!"
Lin Congchong: "But I'm tired and hungry. I want to go home and eat."
Yun Xiaoan: "You can only go home if you dig up gold. If you don't dig up gold, no one can go back."
Lin Congchong opened his mouth, feeling that this scene seemed familiar: "What if I must go back?"
Yun Xiaoan threatened: "Then I will tell your parents where you hid the crickets."
Lin Congchong was horrified: "No!!" Cricket is his life.
He remembered that it had happened the same way several times before.
Lin Congchong could only continue digging. As he was digging, he went to find the prince: "Your Highness, what should we do?"
The prince put down the book and looked at Lin Congchong.
Lin Congchong came closer: "I don't have any money."
The prince didn't say anything and continued to look at Lin Congchong.
Lin Congchong frowned: "Your Highness, I will return it to you. Can you lend me some?"
The prince thought for a moment and said, "No need to return it. You can come back to the palace with me later."
The food in the Prince's Palace was better than at home. Lin Congchong immediately stood on tiptoe and patted his chest: "Your Highness, don't worry. I, Lin Congchong, will do my best to help you!"
The prince took out one tael of silver from his pocket and gave it to Lin Congchong, and then he also took out one tael of silver.
Lin Congchong dug two pits and buried the silver in each.
Seeing this, Yun Xiaoan rushed over, muttering, "Maybe there's gold here."
Sure enough, she dug up two taels of silver.
Although it wasn't gold, she was satisfied!
The prince was able to take Lin Congchong back to the palace.
The emperor came to look for the prince in the afternoon but didn't find him, so he came again before dinner.
This time the prince was there, and not only the prince was there, but Lin Congchong was there too.
When the two children saw the emperor, they wanted to bow to him. The emperor asked them not to bow, sat aside, and asked kindly, "Chengxiu, where did you go this afternoon when you left the palace?"
Lin Congchong ate the finest snacks and said in a very familiar manner, "Your Majesty, your Highness and I went to the maple forest to dig for gold!"
The emperor was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to ask, Lin Congchong continued, "Yun Xiaoan told us that there was gold in the Maple Leaf Forest. Your Highness and I went there! But there is no gold in the Maple Leaf Forest at all!"
The emperor wanted to say something again.
Lin Congchong chattered, "Yun Xiaoan is lying to us again, Your Majesty. My father told me that you are the most powerful person in the world and everyone has to listen to you. Your Majesty, can you find Yun Xiaoan and ask him to return the two taels of silver that your Highness and I owed you? Your Majesty..."
emperor:"…………"
Not long after, the emperor, who couldn't get a word in, left in a huff.
Lin Congchong was the kind of child the emperor disliked the most. He talked a lot but had no focus. He did not approve of Lin Congchong being a companion to his beloved son.
But the prince liked him very much and insisted on having Lin Congchong.
The emperor sighed and went to complain to the queen instead.

Wu Weian received his monthly salary. He touched the slightly bulging bag of silver and money, and a smile kept appearing on the corner of his lips.
Just then, Yun Xiaoan jumped off the carriage with the money jar in his hand: "Daddy!"
Wu Weian stopped and waited for his daughter to come closer.
He looked down and saw two taels of silver in the money jar.
There was a play in Meiyuan this afternoon, and Wu Weian knew what was going on without even thinking.
He tutted his words and weighed the purse in his hand: "Yun'an, do you know how much money Dad has here?"
Yun Xiaoan's eyes fell on the purse: "Dad, have you received your monthly salary? How much is it?"
Wu Wei'an tossed the purse and put it in his arms: "Children shouldn't ask too much about adult matters. It's more than two taels of silver anyway."
Yun Xiaoan hugged her precious money jar and said angrily, "I'm still young now. When I'm as old as you, I'll definitely be richer than you!"
Wu Weian shrugged: "I hope so."
The father and daughter started arguing with each other. As soon as they stepped into the gate, three carriages slowly stopped and Ji Yunxi got off the first carriage.
Yun Xiaoan ran back: "Mom! Dad has paid his monthly salary!"
Lin Chongchong told her that as soon as his father paid his monthly salary, his mother would take it away.
Yun Xiaoan thought that her father's monthly salary must have been taken away by her mother. Otherwise, why would her father always have no money in his pocket the next day after receiving his monthly salary?
After she gave this reminder, she waited for her mother to take away her father's monthly salary as soon as possible so that her father could no longer show off in front of her!
But when Ji Yunxi heard it, she just said "oh" faintly.
Ji Yunxi looked down upon Lord Wu's monthly salary.
In other families, wives collect their husbands' private money because they don't want them to spend it recklessly.
