"That's good?" Xue Jinyi touched her chin, "So, are you really thinking too much?" ”

King Chu froze, and said lightly: "Looking at the entire capital, no one is willing to come forward to resettle refugees, it will be a disaster after all, and you, Miss Xue, thought of asking for help from the eldest princess to care for refugees who have never known each other, and I think I will also care about other people." ”

Xue Jinyi nodded and received his compliment, "However, not everyone can have this heart, and it depends on whether it is worth it." ”

King Chu didn't answer this sentence, obviously he was not within the scope of Miss Xue's charity, so there was no need to follow her words and bring humiliation on himself.

He lifted the curtains and asked, "When you go to the East Palace, you will pass through the East Market, do you want to get out of the car and take a walk?" ”

The eldest princess's mansion is in Changxingfang, and a big road leads straight to the East Palace, but you can reach the East Market by turning east halfway.

"No, no." Xue Jinyi refused simply, "It's important to get down to business, now is not the time to hang out." ”

The king of Chu lowered the curtain, no one spoke, and came silently all the way to the gate of the East Palace.

The prince must have expected that the head family of the person in charge of collecting money would come to the East Palace, so as soon as their carriage and horses arrived at the gate of the East Palace, they saw a small official politely come forward to greet him.

It's just that when he saw that the person who got down from the carriage was not the Hubu squire, but the king of Chu, he was stunned for a moment.

The little official said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is driving in the Liangyi Palace, and he can't get out, so he ordered the little one to wait here for His Royal Highness the King of Chu......" His eyes turned to the girl beside the King of Chu, but he didn't expect Miss Xue to come, "Your Highness, Miss Xue, this is the prince's heart for the refugees." ”

It was not long before some officials released the government, and it was not good to call the officials who came out of the imperial city opposite during the period of King Chu, so it was good to send him away as soon as possible, fortunately, he brought the silver money prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with him.

He didn't invite the two of them to step into the gate of the East Palace, and directly presented a dark red brocade box with both hands, and the King of Chu opened it, and there were five golden ingots inside.

Through what she saw in the book during this time, as well as what she heard from the West Market, Xue Jinyi knew that there were not many ingots, but these five gold ingots were almost fifty taels of gold, and you could buy twenty or thirty thousand buckets of rice in the West Market, which would provide at least four thousand refugees with a month's worth of rice, and if it was exchanged for cheaper corn, it would be able to supply more people or for a longer time.

This is almost equivalent to more than two years of being a first-class official in the dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite generous.

The little official asked with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been diligent and thrifty, and this is also the majority of the silver money accumulated over the years, and there is still a little left to make the future crown princess live better." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." King Chu arched his hand, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xue Jinyi opening an account book.

"Then, little ......" The little official was about to send the two away quickly, but someone interrupted him.

"Today, I will receive fifty taels of gold from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to resettle ......refugees outside the city," she read as she quickly wrote on the account book with a small brush, and handed the account book to the little official when she finished, "You see, if there is no problem, please sign your name at the back for future inspection." ”

The little official smiled reluctantly: "Miss Xue is thoughtful. He read it hastily, and hurriedly returned the account book to Miss Xue, "I don't dare to delay His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Miss Xue to raise funds." ”

"Let's go." The king of Chu turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Xue Jinyi put away the account book and followed.

Seeing that the two of them had finally left, the little official looked at the imperial city opposite, and scurried back to the East Palace.

At this time, the prince was sitting in the flower hall, listening to a beautiful palace man playing the pipa and singing a little song, and his soft voice made his bones crispy, and he closed his eyes and shook his head to enjoy it.

"Huang Shilang is here?" The prince heard the footsteps that disturbed the sound of the lute, and asked without opening his eyes.

The little official was afraid of disturbing the prince Yaxing, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's the King of Chu who came." ”

"King Chu?" The prince sneered, "Grandmother actually sent this waste out, and she is not afraid of embarrassment." ”

The little official said: "The king of Chu took the money and thanked him for nothing else, but the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei Guo accompanied the king of Chu, and the younger one heard that since the emperor gave her marriage, the eldest princess values her very much." ”

The prince's brows furrowed slightly, when the eldest princess entered the palace yesterday, he was by his father's side, and he heard his father praise the eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo.

That was the fiancée of the king of Chu, and what about his fiancée? It's just a few polite words on the marriage decree, so it makes him a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of that face that was so ordinary that he even thought it was ugly, the prince waved his hand indifferently, where could Xue Jinyi compare to Xue Fangyi, who was beautiful and favored by the family?

"I value her because the Bodhisattva cares about her." He motioned to the palace people to change the tune, "It's just a few lackeys who are in charge of running errands, thinking that they can turn the world upside down if they have a relationship with the Weiguo Mansion?" I'm the one who contributes the money. ”

The little official's face was a little embarrassed, so isn't he also a dog under the prince's door?

He hurriedly shook off his distracting thoughts and flattered: "Your Highness is kind and kind, the refugees must love you the most." Who cares about those little minions. ”

The prince enjoyed the flattering words very much, closed his eyes, and continued to enjoy the soft singing of the palace people.

The little official hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, the errand sent from the Liangyi Palace......"

The prince waved his hand in annoyance, "You just look at it, don't bother me with this little thing." ”

"Yes." The soles of the little official's feet were as if they were oiled, and they slipped away quickly.

On the carriage, after the king of Chu had put the brocade box, Xue Jinyi asked, "Where to go next?" ”

King Chu said: "Under the crown prince, there are nobles in the capital, and the first place is the Weiguo Mansion." ”

"Oh, so I'm going home." Xue Jinyi opened the account book and revealed the night when the crown prince donated money, "You say, how much is the Weiguo Mansion donating?" It can't be more than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the number can't be too low, otherwise other princes and nobles will be embarrassed to see the amount when they donate money and sign? ”

Thinking of Mrs. Xue's indignation because of the property of the Weiguo Mansion occupied by Mrs. Xue, and then thinking of the grandeur of Huazhaolou and the shoddy moldy rice of the Sun family, she hated it in her heart.

This time, no matter what, she had to make Mrs. Xue's heart bleed again.

Xue Jinyi already had a plan, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise, and a faint evil smile appeared.

When the king of Chu looked at it, he happened to see it.

The curtains were blown open by the wind, and the bright sunlight fell in and shone on her brows.

A pair of apricot eyes were smart and cunning, and an ordinary face became a little brighter.

For a while, he couldn't look away from Xue Jinyi's eyes.

"I like to look at people's faces so much, I suggest you carry a mirror with you." Xue Jinyi said seriously.
