Chapter 185: Prince Dongli Huang
Ye Shengxin nodded his head in a steady manner, inexplicably obedient. He also mentioned his promotion, and of course complained that he had not made any money.
Emperor Jingming: ...
"Your little treasury is running low?"
Ye Xingxin shook his head. "It's enough, but I came back empty-handed with only the imperial edict. I don't feel like I've been promoted."
Emperor Jingming: ...
To be honest, after spending these days with Ye Shengxin, he has sort of figured out her way of thinking. Although he is still shocked from time to time, he has gotten used to it.
For example, now he knows that Ye Shengxin’s little complaints are the result of the ideological gap between the two worlds.
In his world, everyone wants to be promoted. Once promoted, more people will give him money and gifts. However, Ye Shengxin, who has a small official position, only wants to make money on his own and does not want to engage in corruption at all.
Emperor Jingming had no way to deal with this difference in thinking. Of course, he did not give her money because the child was rich and did not need the tens of thousands of taels of silver from him as a reward.
But he felt indebted, so Emperor Jingming waved to Ye Xingxin and said, "Come here."
Ye Shengxin walked over obediently, his eyes rolling around.
[Your Majesty, what is he going to do? ]
Emperor Jingming pushed over a woolen sweater, a woolen hat, a pair of woolen gloves and woolen socks that he had made not long ago, and motioned for Ye Shengxin to take them.
Ye Xingxin:!!!
【Ahhhh, my old swan, His Majesty actually gave me something he knitted himself, and he gave it to me first, ahhhhh… System, am I His Majesty’s most valued subject, wuwuwu… I just knew that His Majesty was the best and most talented His Majesty.】
[Sure enough, I was right in my judgment.]
Ye Xingxin wiped away her tears with emotion, and then hurriedly took away the four-piece suit as if she was afraid of being stolen by a ghost. Turning around, she saw Zhang Shuyu standing aside with envy in his eyes, and Ye Xingxin glared at him as if he was guarding against a thief.
"You know how to knit, so why are you looking at me? Turn around, turn your head away."
Zhang Shuyu: ...
Emperor Jingming: ...
Emperor Jingming held his forehead with his hand in exhaustion. He had previously said that he was a wise and capable emperor only because he had conquered a vast territory, but now he was actually considered a wise and capable emperor for giving him a few woolen products knitted by himself.
Aren’t these four words “great talent and strategy” a bit too worthless?
In the yamen, Ye Shengxin happily went back to the rest room at the back to try on the four-piece suit, but she didn't know that the prince and the civil and military officials saw this scene and their eyes were red with jealousy.
Including the queen who was waiting eagerly.
His Majesty actually gave the woolen products he made by himself to Ye Shengxin, and he was the first one. Woo woo woo... So heartbreaking.
This is too much pampering for this troublesome person.
Seeing her son about to shed tears of envy, the queen smiled and whispered to comfort him: "There are more on the table. There must be one for you. Your father is thinking of you."
The prince sniffed and said, "It must have been my mother who had it first, and then it was my son's turn."
The queen chuckled, her face gentle, of course.
Ministers:…
So it just so happens that they don’t have it and they don’t deserve it!

To talk about how the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty discovered that the Crown Prince of Dongli Kingdom came to the capital of the Great Zhou in hiding, we have to start with the impostor, the Eighteenth Prince Xuanyuan Huhan.
Cui Luoshan pretended to be a prince and stayed in the palace for more than a month. During this time, apart from accepting Hao Duanzhuang's teachings behind closed doors, he was fed three meals a day.
After more than a month, Cui Luoshan gained eight kilograms of weight. One day, he threw off his quilt and jumped up, thinking that he could not live like this any longer.
He asked his master Hao Duanzhuang to convey the message to Ye Shengxin and Emperor Jingming. After getting their approval, he left the palace and headed for Ye Mansion.
As a guest, Cui Luoshan needed to bring some gifts. He really couldn't think of what good gifts to bring, so he turned around and asked Zhao Gao, his lackey who had been thinking that he was sick these days.
Zhao Gao was in a dilemma for a moment.
Fortunately, his eyes moved quickly enough and he caught a glimpse of the wool products agency store opened by Zhang Shuyu after he made a name for himself by trying on wool sweaters. Thinking of the wool products that had been highly praised by the royal family and court officials in recent days, he pinched his orchid fingers and gave an idea.
"Your Highness, the weather is getting colder. The old lady of the Ye family is not as healthy as the young ones. Why not give her a set of woolen clothes? It is intimate and warm, and it is sure to touch her heart."
Although Cui Luoshan knew that the person next to him was cunning and evil and not a good person, he had to admit that the suggestion was good.
He was not short of money, so he walked into the store and asked for two woolen sweaters with a wave of his hand.
He not only wanted to give one to Old Lady Ye, but also one to Ye Shengxin, as a gift to congratulate her on her promotion.
Old Mrs. Ye is old, so the main target group for sales was the elderly. This group is both respected and wealthy in society. When Cui Luoshan bought a woolen sweater for Old Mrs. Ye, there were several styles to choose from, so she naturally had no trouble choosing.
He bought the best and most expensive one.
Later, Cui Luoshan was troubled about choosing a woolen sweater for Ye Shengxin.
There were only three pieces left in the store. A customer was hesitant and wanted to take one. Cui Luoshan didn't dare to delay any longer and pointed at one: "This one, I want it. Please pack it for me, waiter."
at the same time.
"Shopkeeper, I want both of them. Pack them up."
Cui Luoshan and the customer who wanted both items looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
"Sir, I was the first one to see these two pieces of clothing. If you are willing to give them up, I am willing to pay you five hundred taels of silver as a token of gratitude."
The man who was speaking seemed to be in his twenties, with thick black eyebrows, a strong face, and decent facial features. He was wearing a costly black robe, which made him look noble and a typical military officer.
Cui Luoshan stared at this face, his eyes fell on his lips that were not soft at all and made him feel a little uncomfortable, and frowned.
I always feel that this person looks weird.
Abandoning this idea that had nothing to do with him, Cui Luoshan knew that this person must be a noble person.
Not wanting to cause any trouble, and since there was more than one woolen goods store, and he was not very satisfied with the two remaining pieces, he prepared to take the money and leave.
However, he is a peacemaker person, but Zhao Gao who follows him is not.
A rebuking "how dare you" slapped the face of the Crown Prince of Dongli Kingdom who had come to Beijing hiding his identity.
The attendant of the Prince of Dongli Kingdom was not convinced and stood up to argue. The two of them started out with a few words and ended up quarreling and swearing at each other.
Seeing that Zhao Gao was about to lose, he glanced at Cui Luoshan who was very easy to control beside him, and his attitude of taking advantage of the person's power became even stronger.
"Do you know who is standing in front of you? He is the most beloved youngest son of the current emperor, the eighteenth prince Xuanyuan Huhan. If you continue to make trouble, you two lowly people will lose your lives."
