Qin Mansion
At this time, Qin Ye was smiling so much that the wrinkles on his face could kill a fly.
Ever since I learned that my daughter's heart was with Japer, I was worried that my daughter would not be worthy of Japer, and that my daughter would regret it for the rest of her life. I was worried about this. I never thought that during his coronation, Jiapo would ask His Majesty the Emperor to share the glory with Qin Keqing, accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and receive congratulations from all the people! Finally, he asked the emperor for permission to marry him. The emperor agreed, and early this morning officials from the Ministry of Rites sent the auspicious day calculated by Qin Tianmon. It also shows the favor of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Dad! The prince sent a note saying that he would come to eat with you later in the evening." Qin Zhong hurried into the front hall with an excited face, shouting as he ran.
"What kind of appearance is this? I have forgotten all the etiquette I learned in the past!" Seeing Qin Zhong's appearance, Qin Ye frowned and shouted softly.
"My child knows that I am wrong! Father, please don't be angry." Seeing Qin Ye being angry, Qin Zhong immediately restrained himself and saluted.
"This is the prince's post. Father, please read it." After saying this, he held up the post with both hands.
"Come here! Go prepare the host road quickly and prepare to welcome the king!" Qin Ye ordered with a smile on his face after reading the post.

Qin Keqing sat at the small table by the window and read a book, with a sweet smile on her face, and a faint blush on her delicate and pretty face.
"Baozhu, can you send food to the palace?" Qin Keqing asked softly.
Early this morning, Qin Keqing personally cooked several of Jiapo's favorite dishes for Ruizhu to deliver.
"Miss! Miss! I'm back." Ruizhu walked into Qin Keqing's room with a cheerful look.
"How's it going? Do you still like Yubai?" Qin Keqing asked eagerly when Ruizhu came back, fearing that Jiapo wouldn't like the food he cooked.
Rui Zhuizhu looked at each other helplessly. Her young lady was usually generous and impeccable in her dealings with others. How come she became less smart when she met the prince.
"Oops! How could the prince not like the food you cooked? You don't know that the prince ate all the food you cooked!" Ruizhu looked at Qin Keqing and said with a smile.
"And the prince said that he has something to do today and has to go to Rongguo Mansion. He will come to the house to eat with him later," Ruizhu added quickly.
Hearing what Ruizhu said, Qin Keqing's smile became even bigger.
Xuanwu Street
A large and majestic palace covering an area of several hundred acres is located on Xuanwu Street. The royal palace is inscribed with the name "Prince Zhongping". The inner courtyard of the palace is surrounded by exquisite halls and pavilions. The pavilions are as tall as mountains and are embedded in an orderly manner. in. Each building features majestic columns and carved ornaments, which greatly demonstrate the power and status of the owner.
At this time, in the palace of Zhongping County Prince
"Your Majesty, this is the list of all the servants, servants, maids, wives, and stewards of the Prince's palace. Please check it." A middle-aged steward said respectfully.
The steward's name is Zhang Zong, who was assigned to Jiapo by the emperor. Yesterday he came to the palace and saw that he was managing the palace in an orderly manner. Since the emperor was so kind to him, Zhang Zong was made the general manager of the palace.
"Well! You take care of these first, and you can hand them over to the princess after Gu marries her." After looking at it, Japer put the booklet on the table and said with a smile.
"Has everything been put into storage?" Japer asked
"Your Majesty, all the property and the rewards from His Majesty the Emperor have been sorted and put into the treasury. There are now 10,000 taels of gold and 300,000 taels of silver in the treasury. The farms, restaurants, etc. that have been rewarded by His Majesty have been counted, and there are 5,000 taels per month. The income of taels, as well as the income from the prince's fiefdom, is calculated as 60,000 taels per month by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The monthly salary for servants, maids, and mothers-in-law is three to 10 taels according to the prince's requirements, and food expenses are 1,600 taels per month. The total monthly expenditure is 23,000 taels. There is also a net profit of 42,000 taels per month." Zhang Zong said it instantly without hesitation.
Jiapo was very happy to hear Zhang Zong's answer and was also very satisfied with Zhang Zong's ability.
"Today I am going to Rongguo Mansion to pick up my sister back to the house. You arrange for someone to clean up the Huichun Pavilion and wait for the young lady to move in when she comes back." Japer ordered.
"Yes! Your Majesty." Zhang Zong bowed and went to prepare.
"Report! Your Majesty, the Rongguo Mansion just sent someone to say that Mrs. Jia would like you to come over to meet her!" Jia Po came to report just as he was about to leave for personal protection!
Rongguofu
At this time, the slave was lazily basking in the sun at the gate.
"Bah! Haha! Haha!"
The sound of horse hooves woke up these slaves, and they quickly got up to check! But they saw a group of one hundred black armored cavalry coming towards Rongguo Mansion. The leader is a young man wearing a jade crown and royal robes, with a tall and straight posture.
"Quick...go and report, the prince is back." Seeing the murderous Japer and his entourage, the servants ran into the house in fear to report.
Inside Rongqing Hall
Jia Mu was sitting on the small couch, and Wang Xifeng was sitting next to Jia Mu, talking and laughing. She didn't know what they said, which made Jia Mu burst into laughter.
Mrs. Wang was spinning the beads in her hand, her joints turning white, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Jia Baoyu was talking beside Lin Daiyu, but Lin Daiyu ignored him and was distracted.
"Old lady Prince Zhongping is here! Let's pick up Wang Jia!" Lai Sheng hurried into Rongqing Hall and said.
"Didn't you let Brother Po enter the house?" Jia Mu had a bad feeling after hearing Lai Da's return.
"Old lady, I invited him, but the prince didn't want to come in and asked everyone to pick him up!" Of course he went to invite him, but before he even got close to Japer, he was frightened by Japer's guards. It was Japer who spoke, and he ran in.
"This evil son, how dare he? Does he still have etiquette and law in his eyes? Even if he is a prince, I am his father, but he still has filial piety in his eyes!" Jia She was furious when he heard Lai Da's report. He cursed angrily. In his mind, no matter how high the title of Japer was, as a father he could still beat and scold him at any time, just like he had beaten and scolded Japer at the beginning.
"That's enough. Brother Po is now a king and the glory of my Jia family. How can you yell and scold him?" Jia's mother saw Jia She who was furiously scolding and stopped Jia She.
And everyone in the mansion didn't know what to think.
Jia Baoyu looked at Jia Mu mumbling to herself with a confused look on her face.
Lin Daiyu had a complicated look in her eyes when she heard that Jia Po had arrived. Yesterday, when he was crowned king, Jia Po and Qin Keqing shared the glory, which made her have some other thoughts about Jia Po. When she heard Jia Baoyu's self-talk, she had feelings for Jia Baoyu in her heart. A little distant.
Miharu, on the other hand, gathered together with eyes full of excitement. Japer yesterday left a deep impression on them.
"Mom, let's go pick up the car quickly, otherwise we may be delayed..." No matter how stupid Jia Zheng is, he knows that Jia Per's visit is not good this time. During this time, he also learned about Jia Per's past, but every time he learned about it, The more he did, the more he sighed inwardly.
Outside Rongguo Mansion
Jia Mu and others came in a hurry. Seeing Jia Po, who was wearing a royal robe and a jade crown, with a tall and straight posture, Jia Mu's eyes flashed with surprise. If yesterday's Japer was more like a general, now Japer's temperament is more majestic, as if he was a born prince.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Let the common people see the Prince of Zhongping. The Prince is a thousand years old!" Jia's mother and Jia She didn't kneel down, but just handed over their hands. They are Jiapo's father, and his grandmother only needs to hand over their hands, while Jia Zheng, Jia Huan, Jia Lian and other juniors and slaves kneel down and kowtow.
"Presumptuous! What kind of crime should I be punished for being disrespectful before the king!" Just as everyone was waiting for Japer to say no, a loud shout made everyone break into a cold sweat and quickly raised their heads and looked around.
But he saw Jia Baoyu standing, staring closely at Jia Per, without kneeling down to salute.
When Jia Zheng saw this scene, his face changed with fright. He wanted to chop Jia Baoyu to death with a knife. Being disrespectful before the king was already a serious crime. Staring at Wang Jue was regarded as provocation, and he would be beheaded.
"You bastard, why don't you kneel down quickly!" Jia Zheng stood up quickly and asked Raja Baoyu to kneel down. When everyone in the Jia family saw this scene, some had worried eyes, while others looked gloating.
"Why don't you kneel down?" Seeing Jia Zheng asking Jia Baoyu to kneel down, Jia Po waved his hand to stop him and looked at Jia Baoyu with a pair of cold eyes and asked.
"Why should I kneel down! I am the legitimate son of Jia's family, and you are just a concubine. Why should I kneel down to you!" Looking at Jia Po with cold eyes, Jia Baoyu was startled, and after taking a few steps back, he said while holding on to his fear. .
In his opinion, Japer was nothing more than a concubine, and he was a legitimate son. There was a difference between a legitimate concubine and he should not kneel to Japer. Even if Japer is a prince.
Everyone in Jia's family looked shocked at this time. Jia Baoyu's words were provoking the royal power. Jia Zheng looked desperate, but Mrs. Wang felt that Jia Baoyu was right.
"Haha! Haha! But your father is kneeling, your mother is kneeling, do you think you have more backbone than your parents?" Japer knew that Jia Baoyu was a waste, but he didn't expect that Jia Baoyu was such a waste, and he laughed angrily .
"Your Majesty, Baoyu is still young and doesn't understand the rules. Please let him go once, and I will train him well!" Jia Mu said with a worried look on her face. Since Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, Jia's mother has always regarded Jia Baoyu as the hope for the rise of the Jia family. After so many years, she has been more careful about pampering her, and she has granted all her requests.
"Hmph! Is this how the Rongguo Mansion receives the lonely king?" Jiapo didn't say what to do with Jia Baoyu, but asked.
"Uh! Yes, yes, my lord, please come in quickly." Jia Zheng heard what Jia Po said and said quickly, feeling relieved at the same time.
Mother Jia also understood in her heart that Jia Po came to Rongguo Mansion today with a purpose, and this purpose was something Jia Mansion could not afford. Looking at Jia Baoyu, Mother Jia felt indescribably. If this had not happened today, With this blood relationship, Jia Mu can slowly find ways to repair the relationship with Japer, but now... alas!
