Chapter 83 The Arrival of King Ji

Although the national treasury has been enriched a lot, grain, gold and silver are piled up in the warehouse, but Mr. Fang is used to frugality, and has to prepare for possible natural and man-made disasters in the future. Even Emperor Xuan of Jin strongly opposed the renovation of the palace.

Mr. Fang looked worriedly at the source of the treasury's gold and silver. A quarter of it was dependent on the eldest princess. After all, the basic Nalanxiang was only ten taels of silver, and there were more than ten thousand taels.

The emperor is not ashamed that a quarter of the country's treasury depends on a little girl.

Mr. Fang despised Emperor Xuan of Jin.

Emperor Xuan of Jin said that to be gorgeous, it is best to brighten the dog's eyes of King Ji. Mr. Fang used his clever old brain to come up with a good way.

Mr. Fang's prediction was good. King Ji arrived on the seventh day of May with his wife, children and family. Well, he missed the Dragon Boat Festival perfectly.

So much so that when Mr. Fang received King Ji, he was smiling on the surface, but MMP in his heart, cursing all the time in his heart. King Ji wanted to sneeze because of the nagging, but for the sake of face, he forcibly held back.

Chang'an City retains the Prince Ji's Mansion, and Emperor Xuan of Jin ordered some people to clean it up a little, so that King Ji and others who had just entered the city lived in it.

King Ji looked about forty years old. He shook his head when he saw Prince Ji's mansion, and bluntly said that the mansion in Chang'an City was not as good as his in Jizhou.

Mr. Fang couldn't stop punching him, he smirked: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the palace was rewarded by the Supreme Emperor, how can you spoil the Supreme Emperor's love for his son like this?"

"Furthermore, Jizhou uses the power of the whole state to support the prince, not to mention our Dajin, even if all the countries are combined, we can't find a palace like Jizhou Prince Ji's Palace."

King Ji snorted coldly, "Master Fang can speak well."

Mr. Fang cupped his hands in thanks and said: "Thank you for your praise, my lord."

On the second day of the reception banquet, Emperor Xuan of Jin ordered all officials above rank six to participate, which was regarded as giving King Ji enough face.

only……

The officials entered the hall in order, and the layout of the hall blinded their eyes. The decorations placed were all made of gold, and even the flowers in the vases were also gold.

There are also walls, roofs and floors, all of which are golden. I don't know if they are paved with gold.

The ministers couldn't help exchanging glances secretly, and asked their colleagues who arranged the hall. I heard that the emperor asked the Minister of the Ministry of Households to be in charge of receiving King Ji, but Mr. Fang's aesthetics are not so bad!
But Emperor Xuan of Jin appreciated Mr. Fang's aesthetics this time, yes, that's what he wanted, but it would be even better if the tableware, tables and chairs used were also replaced with gold ones.

The hall was brightly lit. When King Ji came in, he didn't know whether it was a problem with the angle or what, his eyes flickered for a moment, he squinted his eyes, and after seeing the layout of the hall clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.

How can such a beautiful place!
So beautiful that he wants to carry the whole palace away!
"My lord," Princess Ji knew her lord's virtue, and hurriedly reminded him not to lose face.

At this welcome feast, King Ji and Princess Ji brought three sons and two daughters.

Everyone in the world knows that the eldest son of Prince Ji's mansion is talented and capable of both civil and military skills, while the only legitimate son is an idiot who can't read a basket of words, and can't succeed in martial arts if he can't write.

Emperor Xuan of Jin secretly hoped that his direct cousin would inherit the Prince Ji's mansion. After the death of King Ji, the Prince Ji's mansion would be able to get rid of itself without his help. In this way, Jizhou could be regained without any effort.

After everyone is seated, it's time to play music, dance and drink.

King Ji drank a glass of wine, shook his head, and said to Emperor Xuan of Jin, "My nephew, the wine in Chang'an City is not as strong as that in Jizhou."

He glanced at the dancing girl again, "Girls in Chang'an City are not as beautiful as Jizhou!"

Anyone can hear the provocation in King Ji's words.

Emperor Xuan of Jin was aware of his uncle's temperament, and said perfunctorily, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

His uncle always likes to make troubles. If you refute a few words or talk to him a few more words, you may be angry. You might as well follow his words and affirm his words.

After all, a triple yes is a no.

King Ji didn't get a bargain from Emperor Xuan of Jin, so he turned his attention to Shen Chang'an who was eating quietly.

He had bad intentions but said kindly on the surface: "I heard that this king's grand-niece is amazing, and the Nalan incense made is hard to buy. I wonder if my grand-niece can let me see the hard-to-buy Nalan incense?"

Shen Changan sighed silently, put down his chopsticks, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

I eat quietly, why are you cueing me!
She raised her smiling face and said to King Ji: "Uncle Ji, what are you talking about? Why is it so hard to buy? The world is just spreading rumors."

"If Uncle Ji wants it, Chang'an will send someone to pick it up and give it to Uncle Ji."

King Ji laughed and said: "Since my niece said so, then I can rest assured. I am a reasonable person. If this incense is too precious, I am sorry to ask for it for nothing. I must give my niece the corresponding money."

Shen Chang'an paused, "Uncle Ji's words are serious?"

King Ji took a sip of the wine slowly, "One word from this king, it's hard to catch up with four horses!"

"Oh," Shen Changan turned his head and told Liuli, "Go get the kind of incense that the envoys from various countries bid for last time, how many taels did it cost?"

Liuli replied: "Back to the princess, it's 800 taels."

"Yes, this is it."

Shen Chang'an smiled at Yan Yan, "Then Chang'an will give Uncle Ji a discount, 3 taels will be enough, Liuli, hurry up and get it."

Liuli took the order and quickly walked out of the hall on the hot wheel.

King Ji who was too late to stop: "..."

He is rich, but he is not being taken advantage of!
King Ji smiled and said: "It's only more than 3 taels, don't discount it, just stick to the original price."

"Hey, nephew, it's not that this king doesn't speak well. Chang'an is the eldest princess of Jin Dynasty, and she even cares about this little money. It shouldn't be true!"

King Ji waited to see Emperor Jin Xuan's face turned pale, but everyone in the hall looked at King Ji as if they were watching a joke. King Ji was puzzled when he noticed their eyes, but in the next second, Shen Chang'an solved his confusion for him.

"Uncle Ji wants to pay 800 taels? Then Chang'an will thank Uncle Ji."

Shen Chang'an smiled, "By the way, I forgot to mention, it is 800 taels of gold. Uncle Ji is very generous, and he will definitely not be short of silver or taels."

Emperor Jin Xuan cooperated tacitly, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? What do you think of your Uncle Ji? Such a little thing is nothing more than a drizzle to your Uncle Ji."

Shen Chang'an smiled brightly, "Chang'an is narrow."

King Ji suffered a dumb loss, and he refused to admit his plan after a while!
Liuli came back soon, holding a gold tray with a small delicate box on it. She brought it to King Ji, and the attendants behind King Ji carefully took the box down.

After the attendant checked it, he presented it to King Ji.

King Ji sneered, opened the box casually, and everyone in the hall held their breath, ready to see the 800 taels of gold incense pills.
