After listening to Yang Xuan's words, Xu Miaoyun gently stroked the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her mood couldn't help but feel depressed.
Could it be that His Majesty really dislikes himself for being old, so he doesn’t come to his place?
Yang Xuan quietly watched Xu Miaoyun's expression change, knowing that his words had an effect.
That was enough. He didn't say anything more and said goodbye.
"Senior sister, it's getting late, I'll take my leave now!"
"I'll give it to you."
"No need to bother, senior sister."
After leaving Kunning Palace, Yang Xuan looked in the direction of the imperial study and smiled in his heart: "Zhu Laosi, Zhu Laosi, let you blackmail me."
The hole has been dug for Zhu Laosi, and all he needs to do is wait patiently.
He did not tell Xu Miaoyun that Zhu Di extorted a lot of money from him, otherwise with Xu Miaoyun's intelligence, he would have been able to tell it immediately.
Shortly after Yang Xuan left, Xu Miaoyun sent someone to the imperial kitchen to prepare the ingredients for dinner, and she wanted to cook it herself.
Then, she left Kunning Palace to find Zhu Di.
Yang Xuan returned to the mansion in a happy mood.
When I see Anqing, I just go up and take a sip.
"We're already an old couple, and you're not shy." An Qing rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Haha, I'm so happy today." Yang Xuan smiled.
"What happened?" An Qing asked curiously.
Seeing that there were servants around, Yang Xuan took her hand and took her into the room without answering An Qing's question.
Immediately afterwards, he vividly told how Zhu Di blackmailed him and how he dug a hole for Zhu Di.
"My money is so easy to get." Yang Xuan put his hands on his hips, his face full of pride.
"You!" An Qing pointed his finger on Yang Xuan's forehead with a look of helplessness.
"Fourth brother is the emperor after all, you still have to pay attention." An Qing reminded again.
"Yeah, I know." Yang Xuan nodded.
"By the way, what are you preparing for tonight?"
"I've been hungry all day." Yang Xuan changed the topic quickly.
"hot pot."
"Knew you liked this bite."
An Qing said.
"Hey, you still understand me." Yang Xuan chuckled.
…
While Yang Xuan's family was eating hot pot and singing songs, Zhu Di also came to Kunning Palace.
Looking at the large table of delicious food in front of him, Zhu Di couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Because the food in front of me is what I like to eat.
He stayed there for a full twenty years after he conquered Beiping in the thirteenth year of Hongwu.
Habits, tastes, etc. have all changed long ago, and they are no different from those born and raised in the north.
In the past few years in the capital, he couldn't get used to eating or sleeping.
Southern cuisine is small and exquisite, with small portions.
The taste is still bland.
Seeing this table of familiar northern dishes at this moment, Zhu Di was really full of surprises.
"Miaoyun, you cooked all the dishes for this big table?" He looked at Xu Miaoyun who was preparing hand washing water and asked.
"What do you think?" Xu Miaoyun asked.
"Haha, you still understand me best." Zhu Di smiled.
He said that he was going to get started.
"etc."
"Wash your hands first!" Xu Miaoyun said quickly.
"Okay." Zhu Di nodded and looked back at the large table of dishes, feeling itchy in his heart.
After washing in a few times, Zhu Di sat down at the table and couldn't wait to start.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
"I'm so greedy!"
Zhu Di muttered as he ate, the emperor's majesty was completely lost.
Xu Miaoyun on the side saw this and said:
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you something."
"Don't say just one thing, even if it's ten or a hundred, I agree." Zhu Di agreed without thinking.
His focus at the moment was on the food.
"I would like to buy some new clothes. I have been wearing old clothes for the past few years."
Xu Miaoyun said.
"No problem." Zhu Di agreed.
Just a few pieces of clothing, how much money can you have?
He just extorted a lot of money from Yang Xuan today.
There is no shortage of money, no shortage at all!
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun's eyes flashed with joy, and then he said:
"I would also like to add some rouge and gouache."
"Buy, buy them all," Zhu Di said grandly.
If you have money in your pocket, you will be confident.
"Your Majesty, don't forget the other sisters in the harem!"
Xu Miaoyun reminded in a low voice.
"You can take care of this matter. Just tell me how much it costs."
Zhu Di said casually that at this moment he did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xu Miaoyun said.
"Hey~ you and I are husband and wife, why are you doing this?" Zhu Di waved his hand and said dissatisfied.
"I know my mistake." Xu Miaoyun quickly admitted her mistake.
"Your Majesty, hurry up and eat. These are all made specially for you by my concubine." Then he gave Zhu Di some vegetables.
"You eat too!" Zhu Di nodded and also picked up vegetables for his wife.
"Um."
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyun's beautiful eyes revealed a look of happiness.
It seems that my junior brother is wrong. How could His Majesty not have me in his heart?
There is an unexplainable smell in the air, which is very lethal to singles.
Zhu Di enjoyed the dinner very happily and stayed at Kunning Palace that night.
Early the next morning, he went about his business as usual.
And Xu Miaoyun was counting how many concubines in the harem needed to buy rouge, gouache, new clothes, and other items.
Finally, I calculated the silver needed and went to Zhu Di to ask for the money. It only took a few days.
I didn't know this, but Zhu Di was shocked when he saw the budget.
At this moment, half of the money extorted from Yang Xuan was gone.
Zhu Di was heartbroken and bleeding.
But the big words had already been released, and he could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
This dinner is really expensive... After handing the money to Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Di thought to himself.
So tonight, he didn't go to Kunning Palace, or even the harem, and slept in Qianqing Palace.
I am really afraid of losing money again!
After washing up in the evening and getting ready to go to bed, Wang Zhong suddenly told Zhu Di that after Yang Xuan sent him money that day, he went to Kunning Palace to ask to see the queen.
Yang Xuan often went to see the queen, so Wang Zhong didn't pay attention to it at first, but he thought about it today and mentioned it.
Zhu Di didn't react for a moment.
But after lying down, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
It wasn't until midnight that he suddenly jumped out of bed.
He cursed through gritted teeth.
"Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan, you really deserve to die!"
I sat up in shock while dying of illness, the clown was actually me?
He finally figured out that it was all Yang Xuan's fault.
He just said, something feels wrong these days!
…
Contrary to Zhu Di's mood, Yang Xuan is extremely happy now.
During the day, An Qing went to the palace to deliver something to Xu Miaoyun.
When she came back, she brought several boxes of money and a list, saying that Xu Miaoyun had entrusted her to help purchase the items on the list.
Looking at the familiar box, Yang Xuan laughed in his heart: "Zhu Laosi, Zhu Laosi, let you blackmail me."
"snort!"
