Chapter 86 I don't like it very much
Xie Tingzhou was not asleep. He got up from the bed when he heard the sound of the iron horse, opened the window and took a look, just in time to see Chen Yu's back as she left.
"What is she doing here?"
The guard on duty under the eaves replied, "He didn't ask any more questions. He left as soon as he heard that Your Highness had fallen asleep, and said he would come back tomorrow."
Xie Tingzhou asked himself if he knew Shen Yu well enough, and knew that she would not come unless it was an urgent matter.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Tingzhou put on his outer robe and opened the door.
Seeing that he was about to go out, the guard quickly took up his cloak and said, "Your Highness, it is windy at night."
Xie Tingzhou did not refuse. He put on his cloak before leaving the yard.
After taking the medicine, he felt a little tired. He felt that Qingpu Ju and Luming Xuan seemed a bit far, and he was the one who made the original arrangements.
At that time, he had actually begun to have feelings for her, so he deliberately kept her further away.
While thinking, he arrived at the entrance of Lumingxuan.
"Where are the people?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
A secret guard said, "Outside the east gate."
You can only hear the voice but not see the person. People who don’t know about it would probably be scared to death in the middle of the night.
Why are you going to the East Gate instead of coming back so late at night?
Outside the east gate, Chen Yu was worrying about where to put such a large pile of things.
Sometimes being too rich can be a nuisance.
Manager Lu said, "It's only a few hours until dawn, why don't we just rest here and wait for the prince to wake up..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
Shopkeeper Lu was facing the door and saw Xie Tingzhou walking out of it.
Although Shopkeeper Lu had never seen Xie Tingzhou in person, he knew it must be him just by looking at his handsome appearance.
"Your Highness." Shopkeeper Lu lifted his clothes and knelt down.
Then everyone knelt on the floor at the door.
Chen Yu turned around, her tone slightly surprised, "Your Highness."
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes to look at her and asked, "Why do you want to talk to me so late at night?"
Chen Yu trotted over and whispered, "I want to bring some daily necessities into the palace, and I need to get your permission first."
"Daily necessities?" Xie Tingzhou glanced at the endless line of horse-drawn carriages in the alley.
Are these daily necessities? Even the princess wouldn’t need so many for her daily trips. He was skeptical about what was in the carriage.
"Is it okay?" Shen Yu asked cautiously.
The dim light from the lantern at the door made her eyes appear brighter and filled with a hint of anticipation.
Xie Tingzhou ordered: "Send someone out to help move the things."
The concierge hurried over
Call someone.
As the carriage was lifted up, objects were taken down one by one, including vases, jade articles, corals, all of which were treasures that could be kept in the bottom of a box.
Xie Tingzhou was suddenly speechless, and turned his head to look at Chen Yu, "Are these what you use daily?"
Chen Yu blinked and said with a stiff upper lip: "Daily enjoyment."
"With such a big scene, I think you must have been wronged on the way to Beijing."
"It's not that unfair." Chen Yu said shamelessly.
Xie Tingzhou chuckled and asked, "Did you go back?"
Chen Yu uttered a dull “hmm”.
Xie Tingzhou could tell she was a little unhappy, "The warehouse is empty?"
"No," Chen Yu said, "What was moved away was my mother's dowry. It's not my brothers and sisters, so I can't give it to others."
The two of them stepped in and walked to the entrance of Lumingxuan. The yard was filled with things, and the servants were waiting to be told where to put them.
If they were all displayed, I'm afraid the splendor would be so dazzling that it would blind people's eyes.
Xie Tingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Let Zhong Bo build a warehouse tomorrow to store your things."
"Is this okay?" Chen Yu asked, "Uncle Zhong doesn't seem to like me very much."
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at her, not saying "I don't like you very much", but "I really don't like you".
He had previously sworn that he was loved by everyone, but now that he has been beaten, he knows his own limits.
Yes, he is only seventeen years old, still a half-grown child like Changliu.
…
When Zhongbo left the next day, Xie Tingzhou was reviewing official documents in the study.
Zhong Bo said, "I heard that His Highness asked me to copy a storehouse for Shi Yu."
Without even raising his head, Xie Tingzhou said “hmm”, “Give her something to put in there.”
The more Zhongbo looked at Shiyu, the more he disliked her. In his heart, he had already blamed Shiyu for the heinous crime that would never happen again.
He couldn't help but snort coldly: "How much stuff can a guard like him have? He even needs a special warehouse to copy it."
Xie Tingzhou put down his pen and said with a half-smile, "You'll know if you go and see for yourself."
While Zhong Bo ordered people to copy the warehouse, he went to Lumingxuan.
I had to stay there to join in the fun.
Before entering the house, Zhong Bo said nonchalantly, "He is a guard. Even if he has something, it is probably not valuable. If it is a bullock cart or a donkey cart, it will be useless if it is placed in the warehouse."
As he opened the door, he said, "I was just saying... oh my."
After seeing the scene in the courtyard, Zhongbo was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, but was quickly supported by Changliu, who had come to watch the fun.
two
The man stood at the gate of the yard like a wooden stake.
Zhong Bo was the steward of the Beilin Palace. He had seen a lot of the world, but he was so shocked by such a scene that he was speechless for a long time.
This warehouse is almost half as full as the warehouse of Beilin Palace.
The rows of antique display shelves in the courtyard are arranged like a maze, with all kinds of treasures placed on the shelves, which are obviously priceless at first glance.
Changliu's jaw dropped. He took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to touch it, but Zhongbo slapped him in the face. "Can you afford to pay for it if it breaks?"
Chang Liu rubbed his hands together and exclaimed, "Are these real? They are so beautiful."
Chen Yu just came out of the inner room, and upon hearing this, she said generously, "Pick one you like, and I'll give it to you."
"Really?" Changliu's eyes lit up.
Just as he was about to run over to pick it up, Zhong Bo pulled him back and said, "No merit, no reward. Are you comfortable holding this thing?"
"I feel at ease." Chang Liu said innocently, "Shi Yu gave it to me, I didn't steal it, why shouldn't I feel at ease?"
Zhongbo was so angry that he staggered.
Chen Yu had walked through the antique shelf and came forward, bowing to Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, thank you for your help."
Zhong Bo snorted, but he did not forget the task His Highness had assigned him.
He turned around, threw up his sleeves and said, "Find someone to count together, and check the numbers on both sides. Otherwise, if they are lost during transportation, we won't be able to explain it."
Chen Yu responded and respectfully escorted Zhong Bo out the door.
Zhong Bo left Lumingxuan, and he was puzzled.
How could Shi Yu, a mere guard, have so much gold and silver? I heard that His Highness was picked up on the battlefield. Could it be that Shi Yu was a bandit in the past and robbed houses to steal the treasures?
In recent years, there have been many disaster victims and many people have turned to banditry. In fact, this is not impossible.
Changliu's chance to make a fortune was abruptly cut off by Zhongbo. Just when he was feeling sad, he was suddenly pulled by Zhongbo.
"What again?" Chang Liu asked listlessly.
The wrinkles between Zhong Bo's eyebrows were deep enough to kill a mosquito. He asked, "What is the reason for the rain at this time? Could it be a bandit who is robbing people?"
Changliu thinks Shi Yu is a nice person, good-looking and easy to get along with. He doesn't like Zhongbo talking about people behind their backs like this.
So he said unhappily: "Shi Yu was the guard of the late General Shen. He was very powerful on the battlefield. I heard that he killed more than 300 people in one breath."
Zhong Bo stroked his beard, unconvinced, "With his physique, can he kill more than 300 people?"
"Too capable." Chang Liu nodded vigorously, "Even General Chang has taken a fancy to him and is competing with the Crown Prince for him."
