"Little junior sister, you are finally here. I thought you had forgotten me."
As soon as Su Yue and others stepped into the princess mansion, they saw the ghost girl trotting over aggrievedly. She was wearing the bright red dress that Su Yue picked for her today. She was very bright and charming, with a pitiful little expression. It’s also more lovable.
Su Yue was stunned, she had completely forgotten about this senior sister...
"Senior sister, why are you here?"
"Su Qian sent me here." The ghost girl pointed with her slender little hand.
"Yes, you have all entered the palace. I can't bring her back to the general's mansion. Anyway, this princess's mansion belongs to you too. If not, where can I send her to? An inn?" Su Qian's disgusted expression made Su Yue feel guilty.
"Little Junior Sister, have you really forgotten me?" The ghost girl felt disappointed.
"No, there was a lot going on yesterday. I thought Third Brother arranged for you to stay at the General's Mansion, hehehehe."
While everyone was talking at the door, a man who looked like a gray-haired but energetic butler led dozens and hundreds of servants to come, "The young one comes to see His Highness the Crown Prince, and the eldest princess!"
"The younger one meets His Royal Highness, the eldest princess!"
"The younger one meets His Royal Highness, the eldest princess!"
"The younger one meets His Royal Highness, the eldest princess!"
······
"Get up, sister, this is Manager Li. Father has found him specially for you. If you have any questions, you can come to him." Xiao Yan spoke first.
Manager Li immediately stepped forward and said, "Little Li Wei, I have met the princess."
"Manager Li, please wake up. I'll trouble you later." Su Yue saw that he was an older man. Although he was not familiar with him, he still greeted him politely.
"That's what the young ones should do. Your Highness the Crown Prince and the princess, do you want to hang around?" Li Wei was very respectful.
"We have this plan, Manager Li, please lead the way."
Along the way, Su Yue felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, full of curiosity about everything. Could this emperor have emptied the treasury?
"That..." Su Yue pointed to a tall thing that looked like coral.
Li Wei immediately introduced, "That's a blood coral. It's the only one so big in Daqing."
"Oh oh oh~" It's really strange that she has seen so few corals before. This is the first time she has seen such a big blood coral...
"Little junior sister, look at that. I was shocked when I came here yesterday. You must not have imagined it." The ghost girl pulled Su Yue and walked aside. There was a fish pond in front of her.
"What is it..."
"Look inside this fish pond." The ghost girl pointed to the stones in the fish pond. It was filled with all kinds of stones shining brightly in the sunlight.
"It's so beautiful...it's sparkling. Isn't that real jade?" Su Yue said hesitantly and looked at Li Wei.
"Back to the princess, it's true. This fish pond was designed and built by top craftsmen. Does the princess look satisfied?"
"Oh, satisfied, satisfied." Can this be dissatisfying? It's all money.
"Hey! Sister, come and see." Su Qian screamed.
Everyone turned to look for Su Qian again.
"Is this...is this...real?" Even Su Yu was speechless. Those were two stone lions. Oh, no, the others were all stone lions, but this one, It's gold...
Su Yue was really shocked. No matter how rich she was, she couldn't lose like this...
"Back to the eldest son, these two stone lions are just covered with a layer of gold on the outside, but they are still stone on the inside."
"Oh...Okay, okay, okay."
"Brother, do you think the emperor has filled his private treasury in this place?" Su Qian approached Su Yu and whispered softly.
"Shut up. Are you free to discuss the Emperor's affairs?"
"I'm just telling you." He complained softly.
While walking around, Su Yue didn't know what to say. She felt that Su Qian was right. Emperor Wu must have filled up his private treasury...
"Okay, Manager Li, I won't go shopping anymore. I want to sit down and talk. You can find a place for us and make two pots of tea."
"Yes, let's go to the yard next to it. There is a pavilion in the small park over there and the scenery is good."
"OK."
Then... this horse riding is really a small park, with a lotus pond as far as the eye can see, with all kinds of precious flowers blooming, rockeries, and flowing water...
Su Yue was too lazy to care. When she arrived at the pavilion, she was shocked again. Was this pavilion made of white jade? The surrounding curtains are woven with golden silk threads, which are priceless but not tacky. They match well.
Su Yuechang sighed, "Just sit here, Manager Li. Please make two more pots of tea and prepare some pastries and snacks. It's troublesome."
"Yes, yes, I'll go right now. It's no trouble. This is what I should do." He didn't hesitate and immediately ordered people to go.
Xiao Yan saw that Su Yue's face was not very good, "What's wrong? You don't like it?"
"It's not like I don't like it, it's just..." Su Yue couldn't think of any good adjectives for a moment, rich? Pride? "It's too expensive. What do others think when they see this kind of decoration?"
"You are the eldest princess of Daqing. No matter how luxurious you are, no one else can say anything..."
"I know, I just don't think it's necessary. Brother, can you have all those things removed? Just change the blood coral, the fish pond, this pavilion, and the two lions. ·······”
"This is all given to you by my father. It would be wrong to take it away."
Su Yue's eyes rolled slightly, "Then it's mine if you give it to me, right? Then I can do whatever I want with it?"
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, "Yes, what is given to you is naturally yours, you can do whatever you want with it!"
In just a few words, Manager Li came over with a few maids, brought the brewed tea, pastries, fruits, etc., arranged them one by one, and made tea for all the nobles.
"Your Highness, Princess, please try this tea. It is a new tribute this year."
Xiao Yan and Su Yue both drank it, and they knew it was good tea, but they didn't understand it that well.
It was Su Qian who exclaimed, "Isn't this the golden leaf tea?"
"Third Young Master has good eyesight. It is indeed the gold leaf tea that will be offered as tribute this year."
"I'll go," Su Qian hurriedly took two more sips. This was gold leaf tea, something even money couldn't buy.
"Puch", Su Yue chuckled, "Third brother, what's wrong with you, these two pots of tea are not enough for you? Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong with this golden leaf tea? Is it expensive?"
"This is nothing expensive. This tea is only produced one or two kilograms per year. It is not sold to the outside world at all. It is all paid as tribute to the palace. The emperor sometimes uses it to reward ministers in the court. My grandfather's side There were times when you wanted to buy something but couldn’t.”
Su Yue was no longer surprised at this time, "Manager Li, I need to arrange for you to deal with some things."
"Yes, princess, please give me your orders."
"I like simplicity, and I don't particularly like things that are too luxurious. You can have this pavilion demolished for me and make a simple one. And replace the two stone lions for me. I won't I like it." Isn't this inviting thieves?
Su Yue took a sip of tea and continued, "You can keep that fish pond and fish out all the jades in it. Especially the blood coral, also collect it for me. And these flowers...these As for flowers, forget it, let’s leave them for now. In short, I don’t like anything that is too luxurious. You can find a way to help me replace it and choose something simple and elegant. Can you do it?”
