Chapter 193
Gold and Silver Mountain
The Emperor of Liang had a total of five sons.
The oldest one is King Yu, and then King Rong; under King Rong, the fifth prince, who is also the son of the queen, has been granted the crown prince.
The remaining two princes are younger.
After seeing King Yu and King Rong, Xue Mei easily inferred that the slightly gloomy prince in front of her was His Royal Highness the current crown prince.
The prince obviously had something urgent to look for Xiao Jingcheng.
Xue Mei is definitely not ignorant.
She glanced at Xiao Jingcheng: "Prince, I'll go around first. Just find someone to guide me on the way."
Xiao Jingcheng high-highlights.
A secret guard suddenly appeared.
Xue Mei: "..."
Can't you call a servant or maid to lead the way? Do you have to pretend to be a slut?
Can you die without showing off?
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
Xiao Jingcheng said to the secret guard: "Take the county lord to see the royal palace, and you can also go in the main courtyard."
The secret guard was a woman wearing black clothes and was easy to move. She saluted and said yes, and stood up to lead the way.
Xue Mei followed the secret guard out of the back garden.
The Liang Kingdom is located in the north, slightly equivalent to the Hebei area in later generations. The north is bleak in winter, gray and bare everywhere, so bright colors are used in architecture to embellish it.
For the most particular wealthy families, red walls, red columns, and gray tiles, everything must be bright and eye-catching.
But the Rui Palace is different.
Xue Mei walked along the way, but she saw white walls, ink tiles, green bricks and bamboos everywhere, showing a different kind of solemnity and dignity. Even the trees in the palace were straighter than the side.
In the first month of the year, the trees in the Ruiwang Mansion are also bright and the twisted branches are stretched. The yard is not as bright as the back garden of the Qi family, with fresh colorful silk making flowers, and it is clean everywhere.
Straight male aesthetics can be seen everywhere.
The female guard took Xue Mei out of the back garden and went to the main courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Xue Mei has been here several times.
She stopped at the door: "Look at the side, I've seen it."
Xiao Jing will accept her later. Maybe she will be in this yard again. She can look back and not waste time.
The female guard said that it was.
As soon as they walked out of the Chuanhua Gate, Xiao Jingcheng rushed up.
"How do you think?" He waved his hand and asked Xue Mei.
Xue Mei smiled: "So handsome, not fancy at all."
Xiao Jingcheng is now smart, and he knows that Xue Mei is not praising him as soon as he hears it. He thought for a while and asked her: "Do you think the royal palace is old-fashioned?"
Xue Mei: "No, it's pretty good."
Xiao Jingcheng: "It's okay, tell me what's wrong, I'll ask someone to repair it."
Xue Mei: "What are your misunderstandings about me?"
Xiao Jingcheng looked puzzled.
Xue Mei: "I came to visit someone and pointed at their yard, and even asked the owner to modify it. Do you think I am such a stick?"
Xiao Jingcheng: “…”
His words were indeed a little abrupt.
You can wait until she gets married and then change slowly, without any haste.
Xiao Jingcheng took her to the outer courtyard. The two of them walked through the corridor in front of the Hanghuamen, and walked for a while.
Xue Mei asked him: "How many houses are there in this flag building?"
"Two hundred rooms, just the right number." Xiao Jingcheng said.
Xue Mei: "No wonder I've been away for so long. What are the uses for so many houses?"
She was not very familiar with the ancient buildings that blocked the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and there was no Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
"Store room."
Xue Mei: "What to put?"
"Do you want to see?" Xiao Jingcheng asked her, "There are a little bit of everything. There are silver, gold, jewelry and jade, some weapons..."
Xue Mei was shocked: "After two hundred, they are all valuables?"
"There are also inexpensive ones, including silk, satin, furniture, and some calligraphy and paintings." Xiao Jingcheng said.
Xue Mei: "..."
This big dog owner!
Xue Mei thought that more than 200 rooms were just a warehouse, and it was just a firewood, rice and grain.
She was so unsavvy that she underestimated the amazing financial resources of the real nobles.
"... When I opened the mansion, my father rewarded me with fiefdom, accounting for 20% of the territory." Xiao Jingcheng said, "Later, my father passed away, and I voluntarily returned most of it, leaving only two rich cities.
In the past ten years, there have never been droughts, floods or insects in my fiefdom. There are also years of harvests, but as long as there are no disasters, there is no need for relief. After ten years of accumulation, there are only so many things, don’t dislike them.”
Xue Mei: "..."
Brother, I won’t take you to play like this!
You are temptation!
Xue Mei looked at the building and imagined it's golden and drooling.
After ten years of accumulation, at least millions of people paid taxes to him in two prosperous cities. The wealth he accumulated may not be less than that of Xiao Mingyu in business.
After marrying her to become this princess, she has all her status and wealth, which saves her many years of struggle.
Female celebrities who marry rich people after becoming famous must have been tempted by this: I will work hard all my life and will not be as good as your mountain of accumulation.
"The prince is so rich." Xue Mei said.
She also wanted to ask Xiao Jingcheng if she was afraid of stealing. Then she remembered that several times she went to his mansion and the secret guards appeared at any time, so she knew that stealing was unrealistic.
Xiao Jingcheng: "I can give you all these."
“Where is the conditions?”
"I want to give it to you, as long as you are willing to ask for it." Xiao Jingcheng said, "No conditions are needed. You saved me. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago."
The cat was already dying before being picked up by Xue Mei.
Xue Mei curled her lips and smiled: "The prince is so generous. But he will not receive any reward without merit."
When you ask others for your hands upward, you need to pay a smile and dignity; when you look downward, you need to pay sweat and patience.
Xue Mei is not a laughing person, she still wants to try it on her own.
When she doesn't envy the gold and silver in the future, she will consider whether to marry him.
"You have made contributions." Xiao Jingcheng said.
Xue Mei: "Then I will sell my favor to the prince for the time being. If I really need it in the future, I will ask the prince for it. I will spend enough money for the time being."
Xiao Jingcheng looked at her and suddenly seemed to react and asked her: "Did I say the wrong thing?"
"Not. I'm just jealous, you're so rich." Xue Mei smiled, "It's not your fault, it's my own fault."
Xiao Jingcheng: “…”
He is not Wen Zhao, although he is a little straight, he is not a fool. Xue Mei made a joke because he said "I give it to you without conditions" and made her unhappy.
He changed the subject.
"You have seen that person twice just now. Do you know who he is?" Xiao Jingcheng asked.
Xue Mei: "Is it the prince?"
"Have you seen him?" Xiao Jingcheng asked when he remembered that she had saved the imperial concubine in the palace.
Xue Mei shook her head.
She told Xiao Jingcheng her simple inference.
The emperor's sons looked a little more or less like him, which shows that the emperor's genes are very powerful.
Xue Mei had seen the Queen Yun family. The prince was half like his father and half like his mother. With his name to Xiao Jingcheng, it was easy to guess his identity.
Xiao Jingcheng said she guessed it right.
"Then guess what he is going to do?"
