When the prince returned to the palace, he heard that Da Fujin and the others were still there, so he went back to the main hall first.

Li Ji followed behind, holding a notebook and said, "Master, a lot of bets have been placed outside the palace today, nearly [-]% more than last year." As he spoke, his face was full of smiles.

The prince took off his warm hat and threw it to the servants in the palace, pointing to Li Ji and asked: "How much did you earn in total, have you got the total?"

Li Ji laughed even more, "Under Master's auspices, [-]% of the bets placed in this Bingxi have made a profit, roughly estimated to be tens of thousands of taels of silver."

The prince nodded in satisfaction, "I will send the recovered silver to Qianqing Palace later."

"We need to keep some in the palace." Li Ji said with some reluctance, if they really offered it with both hands, wouldn't their efforts to build momentum these days be nothing more than shouting.

"Don't keep a dime, report the statistics, and even send the bets." Otherwise, you can still be suspected, and the prince still knows his own father.

Kangxi looked at the banknotes in front of him and the receipts used for placing bets, and asked Liang Jiugong, "This is what the prince said about rituals." The small pile is estimated to be no less than 10 taels.

Liang Jiugong said with a smile: "Long Live Lord, Bingxi has a long history of betting, but it is inconvenient to control in the market, even if it is an official betting, it is difficult to find out. The prince came up with this method, the banker collects bets .In addition to the gift that elder brother Hongxi received after washing for three full moons, the crown prince has already sent more than 50 taels to Guangchusi."

"There are so many." Kangxi was taken aback when he heard that, thinking that the ceremonial guards of his Yuqing Palace for a year are only a mere tens of thousands of taels, so it can be seen, "The crown prince really took out everything."

Liang Jiugong said yes, "every transaction has been recorded and registered, and it cannot be faked."

Kangxi started walking around the room with his hands behind his back, "He doesn't think about himself at all." If he was a big East Palace, there would still be people in the room, and if he handed it over, what would he use to socialize.

"The prince said that he doesn't need to use money to win people's hearts. Civil and military officials all serve the court. As long as they are loyal to the court and Lord Long Live, he has nothing else to ask for."

Kangxi looked out the window and sighed, "I'm always afraid that Yinfeng will be influenced by that traitor Suo'etu and forget his duties as a heir. Officials, until now, dare not say to cut off their relationship network. Although these are harmful to the court, they are extremely convenient for them to seek personal gain. It is really commendable that the prince can not be moved by interests." Instruct Liang Jiugong to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick up a few good household items and send them to Yuqing Palace.

"What's the matter?" King Zhijun had just returned to the mansion when he heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had moved a lot of things to Yuqing Palace. Is it? It’s all like this, and you can still get rewards. What’s the point of this.” I was expecting to see the prince’s jokes, but I didn’t expect this.

The butler said in his heart that I don't know the reason.He said: "Listening to the letter, it seems that the prince gave something to the Long Live Lord, so he got the reward."

King Zhijun couldn't help but sneered, "What can he give away, he just copied some useless things, can he still give money?" Leaving this aside: "The Lord asked you to go to the shop to bet and earn money." How much did you pay?" Compared with those things that have nothing to do with me, the white money is the most important.

The housekeeper hesitated, "At first, the master said to be more careful."

King Zhijun hummed, took the hot handkerchief, covered his face and wiped his hands, "Even if I bought the one with the lowest multiple, I would have earned 1 taels." He picked up the tea bowl, blew on the end of the tea leaves, and drank it. stand up.

The butler had a bitter face and shook his head, "I saw that Li Neijian of the Crown Prince's palace bought a lot of Zhenghongqi's, and many of the prince's family followed, so..."

King Zhijun almost choked on the tea, threw away the bowl cover, and asked, "So you also bought Zhenghongqi."

The butler lowered his head and said yes in a low voice, and let the tea bowl hit him. He just flinched, but he didn't dare to hide, let alone brush the tea leaves on his body. , the third elder brother and several other elder brothers also sent people to place bets."

King Zhijun wanted to give him a kick at first, but after hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, they all bought Zhenghongqi too."

The housekeeper said yes, and King Zhijun smiled unconsciously, "Okay, let's eat together if there is a loss." It seems that he doesn't feel sorry for the money he lost.

But the third elder brother was so distressed that he was about to faint. Since Dong Eshi was allowed to take away the 6000 taels of silver notes on the soles of his shoes last time, it has been much more difficult for him to hide money.It is precisely because money is getting tighter and tighter, so I also want to make some money while Ice is playing, so I bet all the money I can get out. I never thought that I would lose everything and pay back Let him go out, shut up in the mansion and eat dirt.

When Chen Menglei entered the door, he saw that Elder Brother San looked deeply shocked, so he smiled and said, "Why is San Bei Le worried?"

The third elder brother fell on the Arhat bed and couldn't get up, "Sir, let me have a day off, poetry and writing, and I will let it go tomorrow."

Chen Menglei said: "The poets all say that I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone. Sanbeile is such a free and easy person, why should he care about things outside his body." It is also the crux of the reason why San Age is like this.

The third elder brother still fell there, waved his hands and said: "Sir, you don't need to waste your time to explain." He used to be obsessed with poetry, books and essays, and it took him a lifetime to understand that being useless is the truth of a scholar.Apart from silver, the most useful thing in this world, other ideals and ambitions are all nonsense.

Seeing this situation, Chen Menglei just shook his head and sighed, "I have already drawn up a list of candidates for the examination. If Sanbeile is in a better mood, you might as well take a look."

After Chen Menglei went out, the third elder brother sat up slowly, rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and went to the desk weakly to look at the list of students.It's okay to say otherwise, only Nian Gengyao is alone, and it hurts the eyeballs of the third elder brother.

Although this person doesn't have much to do with the third elder brother, he is the shit-stirring stick between the fourth and eighth brothers.The third elder brother lost all his money and was unhappy, so without further ado, he put on the list and went out to find the fifth elder brother.

Although the eighth elder brother didn't participate in the ice play betting, his mood was not much better.For no other reason, after returning from the camp, Brother Jiu still ignored him. After the imperial examination that day, Brother Eight waited for Brother Jiu in the cold wind for most of the night, but he still did not attend the appointment .Even if the eighth elder brother wanted to explain the misunderstanding back then, he couldn't talk about it.Coupled with the trivial matters between the women in the yard, it also caused Eighth Brother to have a headache these days.

When he got up early in the morning, he didn't even eat in his own yard, so he went directly to Wei Shi's place.

"Why did you come here so early?" After squinting, there was no one there, and he said, "Why didn't you bring you Fujin with us, our family has never had a serious meal at the same table .”

The eighth elder brother said: "She went to pay her respects to Huier Niang." This topic was immediately terminated.

Although Wei Shi was bored, his love for his son was always more than a little, so he hurriedly ordered the palace servants to prepare meals, and during the banquet, he only cared about serving the eighth elder brother frequently, but he didn't eat seriously Two bites.

The eighth elder brother took a few mouthfuls, then put down his chopsticks and picked up the handkerchief, "Don't patronize my son, Er Niang, eat more yourself." In turn, he got up to serve Wei Shi.

After a meal, both mother and son were full.

Seeing that Brother Ba was not in a hurry to leave after dinner, Mrs. Wei dragged him to sit on the kang and talked, "What's going on with you husband and wife?"

The eighth elder brother did not hide the truth from Wei Shi and said: "In these days, Erniang should have heard of some of Guo Luoluo's deeds, do you still think she is a dignified daughter of everyone? Don't care about anything else, you are serious Mother-in-law's place, she has taken the initiative to come here a few times, and there is no need to mention the other places, she goes there more frequently than anyone else every day."

Wei Shi sighed, "Don't say that, she didn't stop coming to greet Er Niang, but I don't talk to her very much, so I just let her visit twice a month. Don't take this It's not the same at Concubine Hui's place after all, it's all right for us to respect and respect her."

The eighth elder brother snorted softly, after all he didn't want to say that Guo Luoluo was here to spoil the fun, so let's not talk about him, "Qin Tianjian has already planned a date, and when the first month comes, my son will move out of the palace to live alone."

A smile appeared on Wei's face, "That's really great. It's indeed a bit wronged for you and your husband to be crowded in that small courtyard of the North Fifth Institute." He also happily asked a lot about the mansion outside the palace. Forgot to ask, "Go out of the palace and set up a mansion, but you are an adult, and Er Niang still said that, I don't ask you to become rich and powerful, but I only hope that you will be safe."

The eighth elder brother felt more and more uncomfortable. Once he left the palace, it would not be so easy to see Wei Shi again.So after all, you still have to improve your status as soon as possible, and it's useless to talk about other things.

Therefore, taking advantage of the New Year's Eve, I often go to Donghua Gate, and occasionally meet Luan Yiwei and the imperial guard with a sword, A Ling A Kuixu, and others. Impressed.

When the crown prince heard this in Yuqing Palace, he laughed, "Nian Gengyao, they couldn't hold back." He also said to the guards kneeling on the ground: "Leave him alone. You continue to be your errand." Turning around, he wrote two letters and sent them to Niu Hulu's house and Nalan's house respectively.

Li Ji was a little worried and said, "Why don't you pass on a word of mouth?" He was also afraid of being punished.

"It's okay, just send it." If the prince's letter could be intercepted, it would probably be the emperor.But what he wrote was just to beat Mingzhu and others to be optimistic about their family, and not to follow the old path they had walked. With these contents, even if the emperor saw it, he would probably only go to find out who dared to be in the emperor's house. Personally with his bodyguard under the nose.

Although Shu Yan didn't know that the crown prince was doing these things, she still felt that the things moved from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were a bit hot. Even when she gave birth to Hongxi, she didn't give such a heavy reward. The crown prince just hosted an ice party. , It’s too exaggerated to reward a few large boxes.

"Just because of this matter, it's worth your worrying." He didn't even care about being intimate, so he seemed to be really worried, so he took the trouble to talk about it.

"What!" Shu Yan was even more surprised when the prince said the matter concisely, "Master, what I mean is that Bingxi is behind the scenes." this kind of thing.

"An ice play, not only practiced the military, but also took money from the treasury, why not do it." The prince rested his arms, looked at the top of the tent, and said leisurely: "Although this plan is not the foundation of the country, it is In terms of flexibility, it can also be said that it is taken from the people and used by the people. It is said that it is a large expenditure on military funds and river engineering. Only the unpredictable natural disasters have to be counted on the court. Counting on the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River will sooner or later make ends meet. ” Thinking about Lao Jiu running to surrender as soon as he came back from the camp, he will not have to worry about money in the future.

Shu Yan sat up and fastened the buttons on the skirt, and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier."

"Why, you can't bet if you want to. I advise you not to have this kind of thinking. It's not unreasonable to say that you lose nine out of ten bets." She raised her head and looked at Shu Yan and said, "But if you lack money to use , you can speak with the Lord."

"No." Shu Yan turned around, "It's Sanfujin and the others who also ran to bet. If you know that the master is behind the manipulation, they won't have to lose so badly."

The prince joked: "It's not easy to handle. If one person picks two things for them, it's right to make up for the loss."

Shu Yanliu laughed, "How can you do this, give people things for no reason, this is not to admit that all the money has fallen into the pocket of the master."

But the prince said carelessly: "The money really didn't fall into my pocket, it was all sent to Qianqing Palace."

This is not the first time Shu Yan has heard of this kind of thing, so she doesn't find it strange.It's just saying: "Since Bingxi can make money, what about Chunwei in the coming year."

The prince glared at him, "How can the imperial court's selection of pillars of talent be confused with Bingxi Entertainment? Now you dare to say anything."

These words startled Shu Yan, and looked out nervously, for fear of being overheard by what she just said.

Then the prince calmed down and said, "It's okay for you to say anything in front of the master, but when you leave our palace, you still have to keep it close."

At this time, Shu Yan would be envious of Sanfu Jin and the others who lived outside the palace. Although they were not as far away as the sky and the emperor, at least the closed world was their own territory. casual.

But the prince said: "You think they are free outside the palace."

Shu Yan thought of what happened to Suo'etu earlier.So according to the prince's intention, the emperor can't trust anyone, and his eyes are all covered up and down?It is necessary to monitor everyone's behavior.

The prince just smiled and said nothing, and stretched out his hand to rub Shu Yan's waist, "As long as we live our lives well and don't do outrageous things, there is nothing wrong to be caught." Yinzhen actually doesn't know much about the Ulanara family, even if they are young couples, they can only say that they respect each other as guests.It is precisely because the two respect each other that they are not at all like a couple should be.Now even though she knew that she was reborn, Yin Zhen never thought about exposing it, so that would be good, if it wasn't just about Hong Hui, she might not be able to let go of it.

Shu Yan felt that what the prince said was reasonable. The reason why Kangxi was afraid of the prince was not because he held enough power and made friends with a large number of civil and military officials in private.So at this time, the prince showed no desire and no desire, so there is nothing to criticize.On the contrary, the other princes of the emperor, one by one, competed to express themselves, forming cliques for private interests, and maybe they didn't need the prince to clean them up. Kangxi couldn't spare them in the first place.

Thinking about it this way, the whole person can't help but become transparent again, and he no longer worries about what will happen to his sister-in-law as before. He should go out every day to greet the queen mother, so he still goes out, and when the weather is good, he will Take Hong Xi to play with the Queen Mother to tease Boozi.Even if I met Ba Fujin, I didn't think she was so annoying. Anyway, they were going to move out after the New Year's Eve, so it wouldn't be so easy to get back together in the future.

It wasn't until New Year's Eve that Shu Yan heard from the old concubine that her second sister-in-law had been trained and obeyed by the tutors in the palace for the past few months. By the way, even her natal family had completely stopped After coming down, it is said that they have not visited their house for many days, and the whole Ju'er Lane has been cleaned up a lot.

At first Shu Yan thought it was the empress dowager sent to teach her, but she didn't expect the empress dowager to say: "The Ai family will be the first to take care of your mother's affairs, and the crown prince will be the first to stand up." Yan, "Don't just focus on Hongxi all day long, you should also be more considerate and considerate of your men on weekdays."

Shu Yan felt that she was wronged, she didn't neglect the prince, on the contrary, she was more enthusiastic towards him before, but the prince was too cautious, in order to create the impression that he didn't favor the princess alone, there would always be half a month in a month. In my own room.But in the past half month, it was often the time when Shu Yan was not cheap, but outsiders didn't know it.

Now that the queen mother has spoken, Shu Yan can't justify anything, she just said that she will improve in the future, and then she devoted herself to various worships on New Year's Eve.

By the time the banquet was over, it was almost right.Shu Yan didn't wait for the crown prince, and went back to the palace to see Hong Xi.

Madam Hua said: "Our elder brother is so good, he didn't make any noise this day, he should eat and sleep, and he just fell asleep after feeding half an hour ago."

Shu Yan couldn't help but reached out and touched Hong Xi's cheek, and said to Nanny Hua behind her: "Brother is serving in the room, and each person will have two or two more red envelopes tomorrow morning."

"An extra three taels is my reward." The prince came in at some point, glanced at Hong Xi, and then followed up with Shu Yan's words.

The few waiters in the room were all smiling, and thanked them one after another.

"Master came back early." Shu Yan got off the bed, took the prince's arm, and went out with him.He went outside and said, "Is it too much to reward five taels at once? They are all serving in the same palace, I'm afraid others will feel unbalanced."

But the prince said: "I just want to let them know that after serving the master well, I will never treat you badly."

Shu Yan raised her eyes to look at the crown prince, "All right, during the New Year's Day, it's a good thing to do."

The prince glanced at the person who was slowly leaning towards his shoulder, and asked, "You just had a drink." There was not much alcohol smell on his body.

Shu Yan said: "I ate two or three cups. I got up early and didn't take a lunch break. I'm a little tired now." Having said that, she didn't forget that it's New Year's Eve. The stove is still hot."

The prince thought for a while, "Why don't you boil a pot of wine, we husband and wife haven't had a serious drink yet."

Shu Yan pursed her lips and smiled.

After just three glasses of wine, the couple rolled into a ball.In addition, the crown prince controlled Shu Yan's alcohol intake just right, she was only in a state of half-drunk, and she was enthusiastic all night, and the puff pastry cartilage served by the crown prince was very rewarding.
