"You're stealing money!"
"I haven't received a gift in many years. It's hard for someone to give one to me once, but you're not polite at all!"
In the imperial study room, Yang Xuan looked at Zhu Di with a speechless face.
"You have to understand that I got this money based on my reputation."
"Didn't I tell you all the people who gave me gifts? You asked people to search their homes!"
"The reward will definitely be more than blackmailing me."
"This is different." Zhu Di said.
"What's the difference?" Yang Xuan asked subconsciously.
"The money obtained from ransacking homes must be put into the national treasury." Zhu Di said.
"So you're targeting me?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Ang!" Zhu Di nodded matter-of-factly.
"You are the emperor, where is your face?" Yang Xuan was speechless.
"Look how much my face is worth, I'll give it to you." Zhu Di looked like a scoundrel. In short, he wanted to share Yang Xuan's money.
Damn it...Yang Xuan broke the defense.
Zhu Di's behavior really left him unable to do anything.
"Besides, as a minister, don't you want to give me, the emperor, an explanation for accepting bribes?"
Zhu Di said leisurely again.
Just say directly: Come and bribe me quickly, I'm easy to bribe.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you half." Yang Xuan rolled his eyes and said.
"Four or six!" Zhu Di said.
Hearing this, Yang Xuan was a little surprised. Zhu Di actually offered to ask for 40%, which is rare!
"Okay, I'll give you 40%."
"I'll bring it to you later." Yang Xuan said.
"No, why am I only 40 percent?" Zhu Di's eyes widened, as if he heard wrongly.
"What I mean is, you get 40%, I get 60%." He explained immediately.
"Don't go too far!" Yang Xuan walked directly to Zhu Di and stared at him.
Everyone knows that Zhu Laosi is not a good person.
Why did he lose his mind just now and believe his lies!
Fortunately, he was slightly moved.
"I'm the emperor, you don't have to spend more to buy me!" Zhu Di puffed up his chest and said confidently.
However, he was still very panicked, fearing that Yang Xuan would attack him.
After so many years, no one knows how powerful Yang Xuan's skills have become.
But what is certain is that he is definitely no match.
He doesn't want to be abused.
"Okay, 60%, 60%." Yang Xuan thought about it carefully and decided to agree.
Anyway, he has plenty of ways to get the money back. The worst he can do is to pay overtime!
It's not like I haven't asked for it before.
However, Zhu Di cannot get used to this problem.
It is getting more and more difficult for me to accept gifts now, and I have to be blackmailed by Zhu Di. How can I do this?
You have to trick him once, preferably by making him bleed profusely.
"Remember to deliver it early!" Zhu Di said with a smile.
"I know." Yang Xuan said expressionlessly.
Then he resigned and left the imperial study room.
After returning, he immediately prepared the things and sent them to the palace.
"Yang Xuan, work hard. If good things happen here in the future, think of me more." Zhu Di patted Yang Xuan on the shoulder and showed a satisfied smile.
In the future, you still want to have a future... Yang Xuan smiled in his heart.
Nothing changed on the surface.
He said to Zhu Di: "Well, okay."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Um."
Zhu Di watched Yang Xuan leave, and then looked at the pile of boxes on the ground.
After opening it, his eyes almost dazzled.
If you want to express it vividly, it should be that Zhu Di's eyes are full of small money.
(☆☆) Small money~

On the other side, after Yang Xuan left the imperial study, he did not leave the palace directly, but went to see Xu Miaoyun.
After getting permission, the attendant eunuch led Yang Xuan inside.
"Your Majesty Yang Xuan meets the Queen!"
"No gift."
"Thank you, empress."
After bowing according to the rules, Yang Xuan returned to his original appearance.
"Junior brother, when did you come back?" Xu Miaoyun asked.
"Just came back today." Yang Xuan replied.
Then he noticed the dessert on the table next to Xu Miaoyun, and pointed at it: "Sister, I want to eat that!"
"Take it!" Xu Miaoyun picked up the dessert and handed it to Yang Xuan.
"Thank you, senior sister!" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
"You haven't eaten yet?" Seeing how delicious the food was, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but ask.
"Nope."
"As soon as I came back, I was summoned to the palace by His Majesty."
Yang Xuan answered while eating.
"Then I'll ask the imperial kitchen to cook you something to eat."
Xu Miaoyun said.
"No need to bother, senior sister."
"An Qing is still waiting for me at home. I just came to see you." Yang Xuan said quickly.
"This is quite delicious. It's just right to fill your stomach first." Yang Xuan picked up the dessert in his hand and gestured.
"Okay!" Xu Miaoyun did not force it.
Then he listened to Yang Xuan talk about what he saw when he went out this time.
After finishing the dessert, Yang Xuan noticed that Xu Miaoyun's clothes were a little old and asked curiously: "Senior sister, I think your clothes are a little old. How long has it been since you bought new clothes?"
"The country is not rich now, and every penny has to be spent wisely."
"As a queen, how can I take the lead in enjoying it!"
“It’s good to save more money and use it where needed.”
"Besides, these clothes are just old, not unwearable."
Xu Miaoyun looked down at her clothes and smiled.
Her knowledgeable and virtuous look is very similar to the original Queen Ma.
"Sister, how much can a piece of clothing cost?"
"Let me see, His Majesty doesn't care about you at all at this time, so he just sees you living a hard life."
"Look at An Qing, her rouge, gouache, and beautiful clothes. When have I ever lacked her?"
"Women, you just have to be kind to yourself."
“The older you get, the better you have to be to yourself.”
"Sister, let me ask you a more taboo question."
At this point, Yang Xuan's voice became softer.
"What's the problem?" Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but whisper.
"How long has it been since your Majesty stayed at your place?" Yang Xuan asked in a low voice.
"It's been more than a month!" Xu Miaoyun thought for a while and said.
"But he is the emperor and is busy with state affairs and has no time." Xu Miaoyun added.
"Sister, I'm not talking about you."
"How could you think so!"
"No matter how busy you are, don't you even have time to stay at your place?"
"How far can the Qianqing Palace be from your Kunning Palace?"
"I see, he just has a new person and has forgotten the old person."
Yang Xuan curled his lips and criticized.
"Junior brother, you can't say that." Xu Miaoyun said.
"My good senior sister, don't let him fool you again."
"If you ask me, whether a man loves a woman depends on whether he is willing to spend money for her."
"If you love her, spend money on her."
Yang Xuan's expression was serious and serious.
"And senior sister, you really should take good care of yourself."
"Look, you have so many wrinkles now."
"How could His Majesty come to stay with you?"
"Well, I'll ask Anqing to give you something good tomorrow."
