Chapter 189 This hat is so green 12
That night, Yuan Xi took out a circular array plate with intricate lines of different thicknesses, which looked very mysterious. There was a groove in the middle. Yuan Xi placed a spiritual stone on it, and the array disk was activated, and those large and small lines emitted a faint light.
Putting the formation disk on the table, under Yuan Xi's control, the entire study was enveloped by the formation.
"Xiao Xizi."
Yuan Xi shouted towards the door.
When Xiao Xizi heard the sound, she immediately opened the door and came in.
"Your Highness, this servant is here."
"Go and call Little Box and Chunlan over. His Highness has something to ask them."
"promise."
After half a cup of tea, Xiaoxiang and Chunlan stood in the study, waiting for Yuan Xi to ask questions.
"Xiao Xizi, go outside and watch the door."
After sending the people out, Yuan Xi and the two of them were left in the room.
Yuan Xi activated the Heart-Questioning Formation calmly.
Xiaohezi and Chunlan's eyes immediately blurred, as if they were in a dream.
"what is it call?"
"Chunlan."
"Little box."
They both answered at the same time.
Yuan Xi tried it out and started to ask formal questions. After a cup of tea, the questioning array was closed.
The two regained consciousness and were unaware of what happened before.
"You two have been here for a while, and your performance during this time has been noticed by His Highness."
The two of them felt nervous, worried that His Highness would drive them away.
"Chunlan worked neatly and performed well. This is a reward for you. From now on, you will follow your aunt. Do you understand?"
"promise."
Chunlan took the purse with a look of joy. It was great to get the reward without having to send it back.
"You step back first."
After putting Chunlan out, Yuan Xi looked at the small box.
The little box was a little nervous when he saw it, and he swallowed saliva unconsciously.
I was secretly thinking about his performance during this period. Is His Highness dissatisfied with him?
"Little box."
"The slave is here."
"The study will be yours to clean from now on."
Little Box raised his head in disbelief, met Yuan Xi's gaze, and immediately lowered his head.
"Your Highness, isn't Eunuch Guixi in charge of the study?"
The study is such an important place that ordinary people cannot get close to it. He has been coming to His Highness Twelve Princes for several months, and today is the first time he has entered the study.
"Why, don't you want to?"
"I am willing, and I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."
Yes, of course I am willing, His Highness regards him as one of his own.
Little Box's face was filled with emotion.
"Keep an eye on Chunlan at ordinary times, so she doesn't notice you."
Little Box immediately understood that there was someone behind Chunlan, a chess piece placed by others around His Highness. However, His Majesty, the wise and powerful Highness, discovered their conspiracy, had a keen eye for recognizing talents, and saw his loyal and loyal self.
"This is a reward for you, you can retreat."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness."
After he left, Yuan Xi was a little depressed.
"Unexpectedly, I developed a subordinate."
Chunlan is the Queen's employee, and Yuan Xi doesn't understand why she is putting people here. How virtuous and capable is he?
"This couple is absolutely stunning."
The Queen is the mother of a country and is also the mother and queen of all princes and princesses in name only.
Yuan Xi had to call her "Mother Queen" when he saw her.
The queen has three daughters and one son, namely the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess and the fifth prince.
As the powerful person in the harem, the Queen is in charge of the Phoenix Seal. Apart from the Queen Mother and the Emperor, she is the biggest. Especially when the Queen Mother ignored palace affairs and let go readily, and the Emperor respected her, it can be said that the Queen sat firmly in the back seat.
The noble and virtuous fourth concubine, whose status is only below the queen, has only two daughters, the fourth princess and the seventh princess.
Concubine Shu gave birth to two children. The fifth princess is still alive. The second prince died of illness when he was three years old.
The virtuous concubine has only one son, the tenth prince.
Concubine De was childless and had never given birth.
Yuan Xi thought about the conditions of the empresses in the palace and couldn't help but sigh, "The queen is very clever."
The first five imperial brothers, except for the second prince who died young, the eldest prince, the third prince and the fourth prince had no advantage at all against the fifth prince, who was their direct descendant, and could not compete at all.
The eldest prince was born to An Jieyu, who was also not favored. In order to raise her eldest son safely, she took refuge with the queen and became the queen's horse boy. Only the queen followed her lead.
The biological mother of the third prince was Ruan Guifei, a third-grade concubine. She was somewhat favored by her, but she was more favored than An Jieyu, so she only met the emperor a few more times. The third prince was born weak and sickly. He couldn't take medicine and couldn't practice martial arts at all. He was naturally insulated from the throne.
The biological mother of the fourth prince was Concubine Rong, who was originally quite favored. However, because of her father's corruption and huge sums of money, he was later expelled from the emperor's clan. Concubine Rong also became the daughter of a guilty minister. From then on, she stayed in the palace and stayed with the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern.
The fourth prince had such a grandfather who could not help him in the court at all. Those officials even stayed away from him for fear of being known as corrupt.
What? It was his grandfather who was embezzling, it was none of his business.
The ancient practice of sitting together is so unreasonable.
After looking around, the fifth prince is a worthy candidate for the crown prince.
In the memory of the original owner, the fifth prince was established as the prince three years after he opened his palace and went to court.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next emperor of the Liang Kingdom.
Before the original owner's untimely death, the prince was still the fifth prince. However, there were several princes who coveted the position of prince and fought openly and secretly. The sixth prince was just an example. In order to win over the British father-in-law, he betrayed the man and gave the original owner a big cuckold.
Yuan Xi did some calculations and figured out that next year the fifth emperor brother would open a palace and go to court. In three years, he would move back again. After all, the prince would live in the East Palace.
"This is too tragic."
Donggong Yuanxi saw it when he used his spiritual power to wander around the palace. It was a little bigger than Chonghua Palace. Apart from the residence of the emperor and queen, the East Palace is already the largest palace. But compared with the Prince's Mansion outside the palace, there is no comparison at all, okay?
The Prince's Mansion is so fragrant. It covers an area of 45 acres. Yuan Xi counted 30,000 square meters.
Look at the East Palace again, hey, even dogs don’t live there.
"I've only lived in this wonderful Prince's Mansion for three years. It's such a waste."
I really want to help Brother Five Emperors share the burden.
After all, it cost the Ministry of Works a lot of money to repair it.
The emperor will give 50,000 taels to each prince to settle down, and the rest is up to him.
Fifty thousand taels is quite a lot. Common people in the capital can only spend at most twenty taels a year. If they live in a village outside the capital, five taels of silver a year is enough for a family.
However, the renovation of the Prince's Mansion, which covers an area of 45 acres, is a considerable amount of money. The 50,000 taels may not be enough. It is estimated that the Queen privately subsidizes the Fifth Brother and the Jiang family of Cheng'en Palace. , inherited from the previous dynasty to the present, has a history of four to five hundred years and is extremely prominent.
Privately, Duke Cheng'en also subsidizes the fifth prince. Being a prince is very expensive.
If you don't have money, how can your subordinates do things for you?
