At this time, word soon reached the ears of Xiaoyao King Xia Chengyuan.
I learned that Xia Lingxuan had purchased a particularly run-down place, at the entrance to the south city in the suburbs of Beijing...
Even though he was usually ridiculous, Xia Chengyuan was a little shocked.
"Although the prince looks like a waste to outsiders, he is not a straw bag. How could he put his shop in a place like this? It is simply unbelievable."
The confused King Xiaoyao quickly found the prince, and the two were drinking tea in the tea house. Naturally, King Xiaoyao was curious about this matter.
"Does the prince want to start a business? Although the location of this shop is not good, it is indeed very shabby."
You really stabbed me in the face and you still want to sprinkle salt on me...
The corners of Xia Lingxuan's mouth twitched, but they quickly returned to normal.
Seeing this, Xia Chengyuan laughed and changed the subject:
"However, since His Highness the Crown Prince wants to do business, although I don't understand what you are doing, what kind of friendship do we have? Naturally, I will not just sit idly by."
King Xiaoyao usually only eats, drinks and has fun, and has no hobbies that are too prodigal, so his family is quite rich.
Relying on the friendship between the two brothers, he took out a sum of money to participate in a share.
Although it was not much, it also moved Xia Lingxuan very much. Ye Baizhi, who heard all this not far away, had a look of surprise on his face.
She came with Xia Lingxuan today because she heard that His Highness the Prince wanted to do business.
Ye Baizhi didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, but she didn't rush to make an agreement with Xia Lingxuan. Instead, she returned home first, moved out the small treasury she had accumulated for many years, carefully clicked each treasure, and finally recorded it in the account. .
After thanking King Xiaoyao, Xia Lingxuan said goodbye to him and immediately returned to the East Palace. He immediately took inventory of all the valuable things in the East Palace and recorded them in a book.
After counting, he called a young eunuch:
"These are all treasures that if sold in the market, they are destined to be sold at a good price. You should sell all these things for me and realize them - you must not sell them cheaply! The more expensive the better!"
Xia Lingxuan gave instructions to the young eunuch Qian Dingzhuwan, fearing that this little property would be sold at a loss.
The little eunuch was a little confused.
The East Palace does not seem to be a shabby settlement, so why are these valuable things still being sold off now?
But naturally he didn't dare to doubt his master's words, so he could only nod his head.
Xia Lingxuan looked satisfied and patted the young eunuch on the shoulder to encourage him.
This is the benefit of being a boss!
…………
The matter soon reached the emperor's ears.
At the court meeting, many people discussed the prince's sale of valuable things from the East Palace, and the censor even took a few copies from him.
The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a complexion of blue and red, which looked like a palette.
This traitor is simply going to piss himself off!
The impeachments of the ministers below him came one after another like a wave. The emperor felt his scalp was numb and he had a splitting headache from anger. In a short time, he even felt that the world was spinning and he was so angry that he had a headache.
At this time, the ministers who had been scolding just now finally fell silent.
You can scold him, but if you make the emperor angry to death, all the nine clans in your family will die together!
The imperial doctor soon came to check the emperor's pulse. Fortunately, he was not seriously ill, but just short of breath and heart attack.
The emperor became very angry when he thought about the prince. He was still lying down and started to curse:
"I thought this rebellious boy had been cured for just two days, but unexpectedly he started acting like a monster again!"
"What on earth is he going to do!!!"
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he could only prescribe medicine without wanting to hear a single extra word.
The emperor improved slightly after taking the medicine, and then he went to find the prince in anger and embarrassment.
At this moment, Xia Lingxuan didn't know that a catastrophe was coming. Instead, he looked like he was wandering away from the world and enjoying the future.
He was thinking about how to take advantage of the next opportunity to continue selling more treasures.
Just as Xia Lingxuan was trying his best to figure it out, an angry scolding suddenly came from behind him.
"I thought you had finally changed your temper, but I didn't expect you to be so unrepentant. It's easy to change your nature, but it's hard to change your nature. When will you be able to shoulder the responsibility of the prince and stop doing such nonsense!"
Thinking about the ridiculous things the prince had done recently, the emperor felt even more angry and wanted to give him a hard slap with the sole of his shoe.
Xia Lingxuan's face suddenly stiffened, and when he turned around, he saw the emperor standing angrily behind him.
"Father, why are you here?"
Xia Lingxuan, who frowned slightly, didn't know why the emperor came to the East Palace and stood in front of him menacingly.
The emperor suddenly became even more angry when he saw Xia Lingxuan's innocent look.
I just feel that the anger in my heart is constantly burning. I was so angry that I had a splitting headache when I was surrounded by these ministers in the court. Now I see the prince looking innocent and even half-doubtful about his own attitude. I don't know what I did wrong. Chu was even more angry.
"You traitor!"
The emperor stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at the prince, so angry that he almost lost his breath.
"I have also lived in the East Palace. The furnishings there are mostly good things left by the princes of the past generations. You moved out all the valuable things in the East Palace and sold them overnight?!"
"I thought you could study hard by going to the Imperial College, but not only did you not change your bad habits, but you got into bad habits again. Are you going to piss me off to death?"
Xia Lingxuan only felt that the emperor was making a fuss out of a molehill. No matter who kept the things in the East Palace or lived in them before, but now that I am the prince and the lord of the East Palace, why can’t I sell some of the things inside?
However, he thought about the emperor's words carefully and suddenly understood the reason.
It seemed that some people had complained, otherwise the emperor would not have had this attitude towards him.
I thought Xia Lingxuan would kneel on the ground to apologize and feel remorseful.
Unexpectedly, Xia Lingxuan just pursed his lips and smiled, with a hint of determination to win in his eyes.
"Father, why should I worry about this matter? I am already studying in the Imperial College, and I am confident that I will win first place in the next monthly exam."
The furious emperor's eyesight went dark on the spot.
First? Be the last one!
He pointed his finger at this traitor and said, "You haven't even dreamed of swearing." Xia Lingxuan slapped his chest and said with confidence:
"In the past, the child may have been too naughty, but no one can do anything wrong except a sage. Now the child has learned from the pain and must change his ways. If I can get the first place this time, my father is willing to give me a reward of 100,000 silver and stop pursuing this matter. Woolen cloth?"
The emperor took several deep breaths and finally regained his breath.
He looked at the prince in front of him steadily, and his anger subsided a little.
Even if it costs one hundred thousand taels of silver, if it can make Xia Lingxuan change his ways and become a good prince for the country and the people, then what's the harm?
The emperor said coldly:
"If you can really get first place and change your ways, why not give you a reward of 100,000 taels of silver!"
The wealthy emperor put his hands behind his back and snorted, his eyes full of disdain.
Although the prince is not born stupid, he has been a playboy over the years and has no ideas. How could he win the first prize in the monthly examination of the Imperial College? The disciples in the Imperial Academy all study hard every day. The prince may not be able to catch up with them even if he studies for another year!
Seeing the emperor's wealth, Xia Lingxuan's face showed a happy smile.
"make a deal!"
Before the other party regretted it, Xia Lingxuan immediately reached an agreement with him. He coaxed the emperor with sweet words and was sent out of the East Palace by Xia Lingxuan.
