After watching Hu Shanxiang leave, Zhu Gaochi said to his son,""Why didn't you tell her that this consort selection was your decision?”
Zhu Zhanji helped his father sit down and said,""Why should I tell her? I don't want to choose her to be the imperial concubine!”
Zhu Gaochi was surprised." I said you have someone in your heart. Tell me, who is she?"”
"Dad!" Zhu Zhanji said impatiently. Don't ask, I haven't decided yet!”
Zhu Gaochi stammered," Then don't tell your mother about what happened just now. It's almost the end of the month. I don't want to be unable to even take out the money for the tips next month!"”
"Dad, do you have money?" Zhu Zhanji asked curiously.”
Zhu Gaochi thought that his son wanted to borrow money, so he waved his hand and said,""No money! I don't have money here! If you want money, go ask your mother!"
Zhu Zhanji was speechless. I just wanted to help you, okay? How am I supposed to give you money to spend like this?
Sigh, forget it!
Who asked you to be my father!
I'll borrow money from you first. No matter how much you borrow, I'll return it a hundredfold. As a son, I'm worthy of the word loyalty and filial piety!
Zhu Zhanji made up his mind and said,""Dad, I've been short on money recently. Lend me some!”
Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and hesitated for a long time before saying,"How much do you want? Let's make it clear first. If you want more, I don't have it here. You have to ask your mother!”
"1000 taels then!" Zhu Zhanji said.”
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes.”
Zhu Zhanji thought to himself that it should be called 100 sentences!
Zhu Gaochi looked around and took out a crumpled banknote from his sleeve. He quickly handed it to his son and patted his son's hand."Don't let your mother know!"
So mysterious!
How much?
Zhu Zhanji opened the banknote. On it was written five hundred taels of silver!
"Five hundred taels?"
"What?! Five hundred taels?"
Zhu Gaochi was even more surprised than his son. He snatched the banknote back and took out a crumpled banknote from his sleeve. He said awkwardly,"Son, I took the wrong one. This one is for you!”
I told you!
How could a father of the crown prince be so stingy with his son?
Zhu Zhanji opened the second banknote with a smile. A hundred taels of silver!
Alright then!
I take back my previous thoughts!
Father, you're really stingy. You're hopeless!
Your son will give you a hundredfold boost!
That was 10,000 taels!
Zhu Zhanji returned the crumpled one hundred taels of silver and added another ten thousand taels of silver. He then sighed, shook his head, and left!
Zhu Gaochi foolishly took the banknote, thinking that his son was angry. Just as he was about to explain that he was going to tip Little Snot with the 500 taels, he realized that there was another banknote in his arms!
On it was written,"Exchange for 10,000 taels of silver with the ticket!"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned. Suddenly, he felt something pressing against his feet. He looked down and saw that it was the Grand Secretary of the White Hair Pavilion. He immediately kicked the corridor and said,""Go, go, go to the side!"
The Grand Secretary of the White Hair Pavilion ran to the door and barked.
"There you are!" The Crown Princess 'surprised voice rang out.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes were wide open and his mind was blank. After he reacted, he tried to hide the silver notes in a hurry, but the more nervous he was, the more he could not do it properly. He knocked over the stool. The Crown Princess Consort was carrying her pet and had no choice but to come over and take a look.
"What's wrong with you?"
"No…nothing."
Zhu Gaochi held onto the table in a sorry state. He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. Just now, he only had time to hide one banknote. He did not know which one he had hidden.
The Crown Princess walked in with a puzzled look. She first looked around and turned around to see the Crown Prince's uneasy appearance. She was even more certain that there was a problem. She glanced at where he was sitting and saw a banknote on the ground. She walked over and bent down to pick it up. She placed it in front of her husband and asked,"Where did you get it?"
It was the banknote worth ten thousand taels!
Zhu Gaochi's intestines were about to turn green with regret. He wanted to grab the banknotes back, but his wife glared at him and put her hands in her sleeves. She said resentfully,"My son gave it to me!"
"Son?"
The Crown Princess thought of something and said jealously,"Your son really gave it to you!"
"Isn't that so?" Zhu Gaochi grumbled,"He left after putting down the silver notes. I didn't even have the time to ask him where he got…"
At this point, Zhu Gaochi suddenly stood up. He understood where his son's money came from. The matter of Ji Gang's death by his grandson had caused a stir in the city. He had even discussed with Yang Shiqi, a cabinet college student, how to deal with the aftermath for his son. Now that his son was generous, it was obvious that he had taken benefits from it. This kind of thing could be serious or small. It was best for him to pretend that he did not know anything!
"What's wrong?" the Crown Princess asked suspiciously.”
"No…nothing. I'll leave this money with you first. Don't use it yet!”Zhu Gaochi warned his wife seriously.
"I don't need it!" The Crown Princess put away the silver notes with a smile. She did not take her husband's reminder seriously. She thought that her brother seemed to be doing a big business and it would not be bad to invest the money in him. It would not take long for it to double. At that time, she would let those palace maids and eunuchs see whether the Crown Prince's residence was stingy or not!
