Chapter 1263: So Good

tion is over, the Empress can naturally take him away.Li Chen's face was as cold as ice. He said, "Before the execution is complete, no one can stop it."With a single raise of his hand, Li Chen went t...Chapter 1263, so delicious

As soon as the people inside had come to a decision, there came a knock at the door.

A young eunuch from the East Palace, accompanied by a squad of Jin Yiwei guards, entered.

This eunuch, as it turned out, was Xiaochuanzi who had just recovered from his wound.

"My lords, the Imperial Prince's banquet is already set. Please follow me," Xiaozi said with a smile. His expression wasn't deliberately fierce or falsely kind; it was genuinely sincere on the surface, yet always gave off an eerie feeling like a smiling tiger.

A Jin merchant from the capital who had previously answered questions about Nan Gong Shou Zhong stood up. He boasted that he frequently traveled to the capital and dealt with those greedy eunuchs, so he took the initiative to walk over, smiled obsequiously, and stuffed two large silver ingots into Xiao Waizi's hand, saying: "Your Excellency, does Your Highness have any other instructions"

This makes it very clear.

I give you money, you give me information, fair trade.

Xiao Waizi chuckled and weighed the silver in his hand, without saying a word.

This action made the Jin merchant grit his teeth secretly.

This clearly shows that they're just short of money.

Damn it, this is thirty taels of silver! You little eunuch couldn't earn this much in ten years!

A eunuch is a eunuch, yet he's so greedy!

He was filled with hatred in his heart, but the smile on his face became even more genuine. He took out two silver ingots, each weighing thirty taels, and placed them in Xiaogzi's hand, saying, "Please give us some pointers, sir. We will be eternally grateful."

Now he had a full sixty taels of silver in his hand. Any ordinary person would be overjoyed to have such a sum.

Xiao Wa still chuckled and then said, "Your Highness only asked me to bring a message, there were no other instructions."

Upon hearing this, the Jin merchant whose face was full of kindness and smiles just a second ago instantly changed his expression.

He flared up and said, "Are you taking me for a fool"

Xiaogzi said coldly: “I answer you whatever you ask me, I haven’t lied to you or hidden anything from you. Could that be considered fooling you”

The Jin merchant was furious and about to speak, but when he saw Xiaogongzi's cold eyes staring at him without the slightest emotional fluctuation, that icy gaze instantly extinguished the anger that had surged up his throat.

Looking at the Jinyiwei behind Xiao Hezi, Jin Shang gritted his teeth and smiled: "Yes, this sir is right, it's the little one who was too abrupt."

Xiaogzi felt a bit disappointed, but still said: "If there's nothing else, let's get going."

After this little incident, these shrewd businessmen immediately understood that this eunuch was probably not someone to be trifled with.

What matters most is that eunuchs have always been the most realistic group of people. You can tell a lot about the attitude of their masters by looking at the eunuchs' behavior.

This little young eunuch dares to toy with them like this, it shows that the prince behind him doesn't take them seriously at all.

With heavy hearts, a group of people reluctantly followed Xiaozi onto the carriage, and then the convoy headed towards the East Palace.

The East Palace, a special pavilion used for banquets hosted by the crown prince, Taishan Pavilion.

Behind the main hall where palace maids and eunuchs bustled about, preparing a lavish banquet, Li Chen was in a side chamber, enjoying a bowl of sweet potato porridge with salted vegetables and a stack of moldy tofu.

Sweet potatoes were sent by Zheng Baorong's subordinates and greatly pleased Li Chen.

This sweet potato porridge, cooked with rice, brought back the taste of Li Chen's past life. Happening to have a poor appetite these days, he could eat a few more bowls just of this sweet potato porridge.

Sitting across from him, Su Jinpa was also sipping a bowl of sweet potato congee, marveling at it every now and then.

"It tastes so good."ul to Li Yinhu."No, it's my pleasure..."Because the gift-giving went too smoothly, Li Yinhǔ found it a bit hard to accept.All the prepared lines he had were useless now, and he found himself at a loss...
