The national treasury truly lived up to its name; Ji Fengyao spent over two hours browsing inside and collected quite a few valuable items.
For example, the refined crystals necessary for refining and strengthening weapons.
The Crimson Flame Stone embedded in Shang Xiye's Crimson Flame Sword
Take away everything that catches your eye, including the array foundation stones and some precious materials needed for setting up the array!
She also saw a large piece of moonstone, but given her teacher's instructions, she didn't want to get into trouble and so she didn't touch it.
Eunuch De's legs went numb from standing outside the treasury: What is the Ninth Princess doing inside?
Could it be that she has too many treasures and can't take them all with her, so she's decided to live there?
Shang Xiye sat upright, expressionless, but inwardly he was pondering. His little wife had lingered inside for so long; the storage ring must be quite spacious. If this was true, transporting military rations would be much more convenient.
In this way, the soldiers on the border would not worry about running out of food and going hungry when they went to war.
Furthermore, with the Na Ring, the construction of fortifications in Cangzhou could be carried out more discreetly, as could the procurement and transportation of supplies.
Another half hour passed before Ji Fengyao finally came out.
When the old man at the door saw that she only had a box of medicinal herbs and was holding several large gold ingots with particularly exaggerated shapes, he breathed a sigh of relief. His legs, which had been aching from standing, went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"Ninth Prince's Consort, what's wrong...?"
Despite the relief, since Ji Fengyao had taken something other than the medicinal herbs, Eunuch De still had to ask her about it as usual.
Ji Fengyao put everything she was holding on the ground, kicked the gold ingots with her little foot, making them spin around on the ground: "Oh, you mean this?"
The guards: "..."
Ninth Princess Consort, that's gold! Please don't treat money like dirt!
Grandpa De: "...Ah."
"The national treasury is just a pile of teapots, bowls, and broken stones. Weapons and spears are scarce, and medicinal herbs are even more incomplete. Tell the Emperor that I used to live a difficult life and was always short of money. So I used a few gold ingots as funds to purchase medicinal herbs. The Emperor shouldn't be angry," Ji Fengyao said naturally.
The guards: "..."
Grandpa De: "..."
Then they all looked at the Ninth Prince beside them: Ninth Prince's wife has no money, and neither do you?
Shang Xiye kept his eyes downcast and his expressionless face: "I really don't have much money lately."
"Why are you looking at him? He didn't take the Emperor's gold. Look at this," Ji Fengyao said, kicking the gold ingots and medicine box on the ground with her little feet. She said, "Look carefully and count what's in there. Don't say I took something when you find a pot or pan missing from here. I'll be wronged to death."
Pots, pans, bowls...
Those were rare and precious treasures presented by various nations!
The guards glanced sideways at the medicine box and gold ingots lying on the ground like trash, and didn't want to say anything.
Eunuch De was more tactful, and with an embarrassed smile, he said, "Princess Ninth, you are joking. The items you have are obvious at a glance, so there is no need to look at them carefully."
"If you're sure, then I'm off." Ji Fengyao flicked her light sleeves with a flourish and ordered Wuying with practiced ease, "Little Shadow, put the things on the ground on the prince's body, let's go home!"
Shadowless: "!"
Your Highness, please wait! What kind of nickname is "Little Shadow"? I'm a real man!
Shang Xiye: "..."
My dear wife, what kind of habit is this? Why do you always put things on me whenever we go out?
