Noble Consort Tian's original name was Tian Xiuying. She was also one of the consorts of Chongzhen. She was outstanding in appearance and knew how to do things. In the first year of Chongzhen, she was conferred the title of Noble Consort.
If not for Princess Changping's mother, Empress Zhou, who tried to stop her, she would have been called Empress.
This was not important. What was important was that Chen Yuanyuan was still a family music actress in the Tian residence.
More importantly, Tian Hongyu was very rich.
Jiang Feng was moved and simply couldn't listen to Empress Yi 'an's words. After a moment of silence, he exchanged glances with Princess Changping and mischievously said,"Princess, are you free?"
"I'm free, I'm free."
"This princess loves to rob the rich and give to the poor."”
"Are you willing to…pay a visit to the Tian Residence?”Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows.
"Let's go!"
The two of them hit it off immediately. They turned around and strode out of the door, leaving Zhang Yan and Liu Ru dumbfounded. It was useless to stop them for a long time.
Outside the courtyard, the sky was already dark, but this did not hinder Jiang Feng's desire to rob.
Too poor.
He couldn't let them starve to death.
The two of them got into a carriage and waved their small whips as they leisurely left.
Jiang Feng did not know the way, but Princess Changping knew. Tian Hongyu had just returned to the capital not long ago. In his early years, he was a general of a mixed name. Now, he had become a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards through his connections.
Little Jiang Feng didn't care about the officials, but he cared about the money in his pocket.
Just thinking about it, even the residence had actors. This was too generous. Hearing it made one's heart itch.
Under the dim lights, the Tian residence was no smaller than Jiang Feng's, and even more so. After all, he was the Imperial Consort's biological father. The gate was magnificent, and the courtyard was huge.
When the carriage arrived at the door, the two of them alighted one after the other. When they received the news, the gatekeeper immediately went into the courtyard to report.
In the huge main hall, a few women dressed in colorful clothes were dancing under the dim candlelight. Accompanied by the guzheng, they had a somewhat chaotic mood.
Tian Hongyu, who was nearly sixty years old, was drinking and laughing happily. His eyes were hazy as he admired the art of dance.
"Master, Master…"
Just as he was leisurely and contented, the gatekeeper's servant hurriedly ran in from outside. He bowed and said,"Duke Ji and Princess Changping have arrived. They are already outside the door.”
"Who is it?"
Tian Hongyu's old face sank after he finished a glass of wine. He pursed his lips and said,""Duke Ji? But the Jiang Feng who raided the residence of Chief Zhou Yanru today?”
"It's this person…"
The servant was submissive.
"How many people came?"
Tian Hongyu's eyes widened in alarm.”
"Replying to Old Master, only Duke Ji and Princess Changping brought generous gifts.”
Once the servant finished speaking, Tian Hongyu's anxious heart relaxed a little. He nodded and said,"Alright, alright, please come in!"
He could not appreciate the dance anymore. He waved his hand and dismissed the dancers in front of him. He ordered the servant girls to put away the table and straightened his clothes before walking to the reception room.
As soon as Jiang Feng and Princess Changping arrived, Tian Hongyu appeared with a dark face.
"Aiyaya! State Duke Ji has arrived, I didn't welcome you…Please forgive me.”
The old man cupped his fists and bowed slightly."This lowly official greets Your Highness. I didn't know that the two of you had arrived. Men, hurry up and take a look at the tea."
"Lord Tian is so elegant."
Jiang Feng acted as if they were old acquaintances. He put his arm around Tian Hongyu and patted his shoulder."Sigh, just now I heard that Lord Tian's residence was playing bamboo and playing silk, and the lingering sound lingered. In this chaotic world, it was rare to hear a song, so I couldn't help but come to disturb you.”
"You're welcome."
Tian Hongyu's old face was a little embarrassed. This was a roundabout way of scolding him. He smiled bitterly and said,"However, the wine is too strong. Let's drink a little.”
"Tsk tsk…"
Jiang Feng didn't even sit down. He pursed his lips and said,"Sigh, Lord Tian is enjoying himself so much that I really envy him.”
"Why do you say that, Duke Ji?"
Tian Hongyu was taken aback." His Majesty has just bestowed a residence to Duke Ji, and he has also seized the Zhou and Qian residences." State Duke Ji is also a wealthy person now, so why would he fool me?”
"Lord Tian, you don't know."
Jiang Feng began to fill his cup. He pulled his old face and said in pain,"Now that even His Majesty is living a hard life, I have also acted impartially and confiscated the money that the Zhou and Qian residences have embezzled.”
Tian Hongyu stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly."Duke Ji is fair and honest, and it is the blessing of the Imperial Court.”
"The state affairs have been resolved. Brother Ran, you have to live your life.”
Jiang Feng grabbed Tian Hongyu's arm and cried,""My house is bare. Even Haozi would come out crying. His Majesty even rewarded a servant girl. Now, I have to rely on the princess to support me, but if this continues, I can't do it, right?”
Tian Hongyu understood that they were here to rob him.
"Therefore, brother, you are thick-skinned enough to come to Lord Tian's residence to beg for food.”Jiang Feng said righteously,"Lord Tian, are you willing to give alms?"
"This…"
"Lord Tian, don't worry. I don't want too much. Just give me a hundred or eight hundred thousand silver.”
After saying that, Jiang Feng waved his hand and shook his head."Lord Tian won't give much, and I can't take more.”
“……”
Tian Hongyu wanted to curse, so he said sinisterly,"Duke Ji is really making things difficult for me.”
"Could it be that Lord Tian doesn't want to give it to me?"
Before he could finish, Jiang Feng interrupted him and turned to look at Zhu Yunya.""When Your Highness returns to the palace later, remember to pass a message to His Majesty on behalf of me. Tell him that Lord Tian is willing to donate three million taels of silver as military pay.”
“……”
Tian Hongyu jumped up."Duke Ji, you…you're framing me!”
"What is it? Lord Tian wants to donate five million taels?" "Your Highness, quickly remember this…" Jiang Feng frowned and turned around.
