Drunk House

 Chapter 799 The gift has arrived (1st update)

Cui Yanjin muttered, "Can you blame me for the gift? If you want to blame, blame my cousin for being stingy and jealous. I'm just a cousin, and he won't tolerate me being attentive to my cousin. If my cousin gets tired of his bad temper in the future, choose When the gentle, beautiful and considerate servant enters the palace, can he be killed?"

Cui Xingzhi’s mouth twitched, “My cousin can’t do it, and neither can my cousin.”

Cui Yanjin snorted, "In short, he has a bad temper."

Mr. Cui coughed slightly and laughed angrily, "Okay! The banquet is about to begin!"

 The two cousins ​​shut up.

Sure enough, there were dancing girls filing into the hall. Within a moment, there was a lively atmosphere with the sound of silk and bamboo strings, singing and dancing.

On the birthday of the Princess Royal, it was a rare day off for the courtiers. After Cui Yanjin’s interlude, everyone relaxed and the whole party was singing and dancing.

Such a lively scene was unimaginable last year, when the wind was roaring, the grass and trees were in danger, and everyone was in danger.

The King of Nanchu toasted to the courtiers, and the concubine and her husband also toasted afterwards. Halfway through the banquet, the courtiers exchanged cups with each other. At this time, someone came to report that the return gift from Princess Qingping's Mansion in Daliang had arrived. At the same time, the Prince of Daliang sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to **** dozens of carts of things, asking the concubine to check them.

Su Rong heard this and left the table midway.

 Zhou Gu also left with her.

The King of Nan Chu looked at the two of them dissatisfied and said, "These two people, what's the matter that we can't talk about tomorrow? Let's have dinner first? Hey, they are young people after all, so they might as well not procrastinate in their actions."

He waved his hands to everyone, "Don't worry about them, come on, dear friends, let's keep drinking."

The king of Southern Chu had a good drinking capacity, and most of his courtiers also had a good drinking capacity.

When he was enjoying the meal, the King of Nanchu stepped down from the throne, walked to Xie Yuan's seat, and drank with him. "Thank you, brother, drink."

 Xie Yuan felt disgusted and did not want to deal with the King of Southern Chu.

"Oh, it's Xiao Qi's birthday. Don't be so stern with me. I've been sorry for you before, but I've suffered enough." King Nan Chu hooked his shoulder, "Xiao Qi was brought up by you. Gu, my biological father, is not as good as you, my uncle, but I don’t dare to be jealous of you yet.”

He sighed, "Brother Xie, you have had a good night with Xiaoqi's mother after all, but you haven't had a woman by your side for many years. This is too painful for you. You can't help it, but you are different. I heard Xiaoqi say, You have already thought about it. In this case, it is better to marry someone. You are in your prime and can still..."

 Xie Yuan took a chicken drumstick and stuffed it into the mouth of King Nan Chu.

The King of Nanchu was immediately gagged.

Xie Yuan said indifferently: "I don't care about anyone anymore, but I have become accustomed to being alone for many years. The king goes to worry about Xiao Qi, but don't worry about me."

The King of Nanchu sighed and took the chicken legs to eat, "Okay, okay, I don't dare to worry about you, so I won't talk about it anymore."

 Someone came up to Xie Yuan and whispered a few words into his ear. Xie Yuan was slightly stunned and nodded, "I understand."

 After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.

The King of Southern Chu said "Huh?" and called him, "Brother Xie, where are you going?" Xie Yuan didn't even look back, let alone answer.

The King of Southern Chu muttered, "These two or three people left just as they said. What big thing happened?" After he finished speaking, he called a servant and asked: "Go and ask, what happened? Why are you so angry?" Not only did the daughter and her concubine leave, but Mr. Xie also left?"

 The waiter was there and went immediately.

Su Rong and Zhou Gu came to the palace gate and saw the manager of her caravan and the guard commander of the prince's faction. Among them were the prince's personal guard Yun An.

Yun'an met Su Rong and Zhou Gu and immediately bowed his hands in greeting, "Your Majesty, Fourth Young Master."

Yun'an did not call the concubine like everyone else, but followed the old title to show her closeness.

Su Rong smiled in surprise and asked, "Yun'an, why did His Highness send you here?" She glanced at it and said, "Dozens of carts of stuff? What are they?"

Yun'an whispered: "This is the private treasury of Princess Zhenmin. Your Majesty, Your Highness, will send his subordinates to deliver it to you."

Su Rong raised her eyebrows, "My mother's private treasury?"

 She asked: "Did she have such a big family back then?"

"Princess Zhenmin is favored. There are things that Crown Prince De Rui left to the princess, as well as Crown Princess De Rui's dowry, and the property that the princess received from the late emperor and the queen mother. In these years, your majesty has not confiscated it. I have been sending people to take care of it, and the profits and the things in the private treasury will be sent to you." Yun An explained, "Back then, the princess failed to marry to Nanchu, so naturally she would not marry anything good to Wei, so she There’s a lot of stuff.”

Su Rong nodded and ordered Fengling, who had followed, to take the things into her warehouse, and then asked Yun An to enter the palace together with the **** leader and the caravan manager.

She did not go back to the palace banquet, but asked Yun An some questions, such as how his majesty thought of giving these things to her. When she was in Daliang, his majesty did not mention it. For example, he asked how the prince and Duan Hua were doing. etc.

 After learning more about it, Su Rong ordered someone to send them to resettle. Then he took the prince's letter and account book from Yun An, and Duanhua's letter and gift list from the steward, and walked to his residence with Zhou Gu.

 After returning to their residence, the waiter turned on the lamp, and Su Rong and Zhou Gu sat at the table and read the letter together.

Yan Huisheng's letter was very simple. It stated that Aunt Zhenmin's property, after all, belonged to the Daliang royal family and had been taken back. However, all previous profits and her private treasury would be given to her. Then she said not to give her so many gifts next time. Duanhua, if there is something pleasant, give her a gift or two, so that she will not be happy and worry about not being able to repay your gift, etc.

Su Rong felt a little funny after reading Yan Huisheng's letter. After putting it down, she picked up Duan Hua's letter.

Duan Hua's letters were too long and too thick. She told Su Rong everything, big and small, especially about the prince. She spent most of the letter talking about the prince's cousin. So good, I picked out gifts for her, etc. Most of them came from the East Palace. I didn’t feel reluctant at all. She said she was so lucky. Her mother was right when she said she was lucky. Every word was full of satisfaction and happiness.

After reading it with a smile, Su Rong first picked up Duanhua's gift list in return. This gift list was well made and very detailed. It clearly marked which items came from Princess Qingping and the Prince Consort, which items came from His Majesty in the Palace, and which items came from the Queen and the Crown Prince. This gift list is absolutely perfect. It can be seen that the people close to Duanhua have tried their best to help her return this gift in return.

Zhou Gu looked on and curled his lips, "The princess who is so pampered by everyone is really spoiled."

He has always been unconvinced by Cui Yanjin, who said that he was arrogant because of his favor. How could he be? Compared to Duan Hua, he is not as good as him.

Su Rong smiled happily and accepted the gift, thinking that she would not give such a large number of gifts indiscriminately in the future. At first, she really didn't expect that Princess Qingping's Mansion would go to great lengths to give her a gift in return. Made a bargain.
