Chapter 391 Shooting Yourself in the Foot

As Meixiang and her group got closer and closer to the capital, Meixiang's enthusiasm for shopping did not increase but instead became lower and lower. This was the eighth consecutive day that she had not sent anything back to the Princess's Mansion.

The people in the capital, especially those living on the same long street as the Prince's Mansion, had become accustomed to the daily passage of carriages over the past few months. Some even started playing a game of guessing what was loaded in the carriages. It was really hard to get used to this when it was suddenly interrupted.

Feng Yizhen, who had the same doubts and liked to get to the bottom of things, asked the same question for the second time three days ago. Meixiang casually replied, "Think about it yourself."

Today, when I was shopping, I saw Meixiang started to buy things again, but the total amount was not large. Finally, I couldn't control my mouth and asked, "Sister Xiang'er, didn't you stop buying things? What about these things today?" He raised his chin slightly, motioning Meixiang to look at the things in his hands, and then asked, "What do you think of these things?"

Meixiang didn't know whether to admire his spirit of getting to the bottom of things or to suspect that there was something wrong with the Feng family's educational method for training the next generation of successors.

"Oh," Meixiang looked at Feng Yizheng's eager eyes staring at her, sighed, and decided to satisfy his curiosity first, otherwise this matter would never pass him by, and he would ask again and again in the future.

Meixiang found a spacious place with few people and stopped, then turned to look at Feng Yizhen. The others also stopped. Except for Sun Yu, everyone else had some questions in their minds.

"Brother Zhen, let me ask you, what do you think I buy these things for?"

Feng Yizhen thought about it carefully before whispering, "You definitely can't use up all these things yourself, are they for giving away?"

"Then tell me, what kind of gifts would generally make people happy?" Without giving him time to catch his breath, Meixiang continued asking.

"The expensive ones will definitely like it."

"Then," Meixiang suddenly remembered Sun Shao's thoughtful look just now, changed her mind, and threw the question to him with a smile: "Sun Shao, you come to solve his doubts and teach him a lesson at the same time."

Sun Yu, who was watching the fun, was suddenly called to speak for no apparent reason. For a moment, he was like a primary school student who was distracted in class and was suddenly called by the teacher to answer a question. He was at a loss for what to do: "Me? How can I be qualified to teach Young Master Feng?"

"If they say you are qualified, then you are qualified. Tell me." They would be returning to the capital soon, and there would not be many opportunities for them to eat and live together like they did in Liuzhou Prefecture. Sun Yu's identity was different from that of the other three, so they used every opportunity to show him their abilities.

"Well," seeing Meixiang's encouraging eyes, Young Master Sun calmed down, looked at Feng Yizheng and asked, "Young Master Feng, then tell me, in the entire Haoyue, except for a very few people, with Sister Xiang'er's status, who else is worthy of her giving expensive gifts?"

"Huh?" Feng Yizhen was a little stumped by the question, staring anxiously but unable to answer. Indeed, there were not many people in Haoyue who could ask Sister Xiang'er to give expensive gifts. The more critical problem was that even if she wanted to give it, no one would dare to accept it, right?

Sun Shao smiled, as if he didn't notice his embarrassment, and continued, "So why not just give some small gifts with local characteristics? Not only will it show your sincerity, but it will also make the recipients feel less burdened. Especially for the children at home, these gifts will be more popular."

Seeing Meixiang nod at him with a smile, Sun Yu felt more confident and continued, "As for why people buy less as they get closer to the capital, I guess there are two reasons. One is that the distance is short, and the ladies in the capital can easily buy these things. The other is that the things here are not much different from those in the capital, and they are not very rare. Sister Xiang'er, do you know if I'm right?"

Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong nodded inwardly after listening to Sun Yu's analysis. It was no accident that the Sun family could become the fifth largest family in Haoyue in such a short period of time. Moreover, they firmly believed that under the leadership of Sun Yu, as long as they did not make any mistakes, it would be difficult for other families to surpass the Sun family in a short period of time.

Feng Yizhen's mind suddenly became clear, and he looked like he had realized something. He suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, oh, oh, I finally got it now!"

"What did you learn?" Sun Yu asked in a playful manner.

He bumped his shoulder against Sun Yu's and said, "Brother, I appreciate your kindness this time." Feng Yizhen then looked at Meixiang standing opposite him and said with a smile, "Finally, I don't have to worry about how to give Sister Xiang'er a gift in the future! Hahaha... It can save money and make Sister Xiang'er happy, what a good thing!"

Hahaha... Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong couldn't help but laugh after they reacted.

"Huh?" Meixiang was dumbfounded. Why did she feel like she had shot herself in the foot? Oh, right, she took back her previous groundless worries. The Feng family not only knew how to train successors, but was also particularly good at training successors who liked to play dumb and eat the tiger.

Humph! Meixiang glared at them and turned away angrily.

Inside the imperial study in the palace, the emperor's hand holding the letter trembled uncontrollably, and his voice was a little tense when he spoke again.

"Will it arrive tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Is the news accurate?"

"It is absolutely true. I will not deceive Your Majesty."

Although the eunuch Xiao Wang's reply today was the same as in the past, if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to hear the deep joy in it.

Wang the eunuch was old, and most of the letters to Liuzhou Prefecture in the following year were written by his apprentice, the young eunuch Wang. After Meixiang knew about this, she never forgot his gift when she sent it to the capital, and for more than a year, the two of them had a pleasant correspondence.

Furthermore, as the emperor's personal eunuch, he understood too well how difficult it had been for the emperor over the years. On many starless nights, he listened to the emperor tossing and turning outside the door, unable to sleep for a long time. Now, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible, and the family of three will be reunited and never be separated again.

Both the master and the servant were sincerely happy.

"My little prince, you will follow me out of the city tomorrow morning to welcome the mother and daughter. You will arrange it immediately." The emperor said this with a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

"Are we going to the city gate?" Eunuch Xiao Wang confirmed with a smile. This was the first time in all the years since he entered the palace that he failed to understand the emperor's meaning, so he had to carefully confirm it again.

"Well," the emperor pondered for a moment, and finally the desire to see them earlier prevailed, and he quickly made a decision, "Let's go to the long pavilion ten miles away. I want to meet them farther away, but unfortunately..."
