I'm back

Chapter 121

After the marriage decree was made, Yan Qin took advantage of the rest day to count his small treasury in his dormitory, and calculated the state treasury account in his heart. He summarized and concluded his current financial situation: One word, poor, two words, very poor, three words, very poor.

Almost married the queen, half of his family property will be emptied, the money for marrying the queen can still be paid from the treasury, and the money for marrying the regent can only go to his private small coffers. There is not much money in the first place. After the second marriage, he was so poor that he didn't even have the money to buy Zhang Ji egg yolk pastry.

Yan Qin was the emperor, and he had the best food and clothing on weekdays. Any vase in the palace was a priceless treasure. If he wanted to sell it, he would definitely be able to exchange it for a lot of money.

But one thing is, most of the things in his bedroom are engraved with the royal mark, and things with this mark are basically impossible to get out, and an emperor is reduced to selling his own furniture to make a fortune , it is too miserable.

Thinking about the things in his small treasury, Yan Qin sighed unconsciously.Although he is also an emperor and is now in charge of the government successfully, his ability to save a small treasury is still not as good as that of the previous emperor.

It's not that he can't do it, the main reason is the regent.With the Prince Regent around, it was not easy for him to save a small treasury. When the Regent became his queen, the small treasury became private money. It must be more difficult to save it without telling the other party.

Yan Qin fiddled with the golden abacus in front of him, feeling very bad, but the wedding decree had already been sent out, and he had to marry.

He hesitated for a moment, and crossed out a few items on the betrothal gift list. After crossing out, he felt that the list was very shabby, and it was really not worthy of the status of regent. Forget it, if you are poor, you can be poor. I can't be a poor wife, I just hope that I can earn back the money from the few shops I bought outside under a pseudonym.

He gritted his teeth, and gave all his belongings to the regent.

After looking at the items on the list for a while, Yan Qin was afraid that he would regret it again, so he folded the list and carefully locked it in the box. When Chang Xiao, who was going to fetch things for him later, came, he let the other party Take the things away. In this case, even if he feels remorse in his heart, he will definitely be embarrassed to go back and take the things back.

Putting the list into the box, locking the box, putting the box in the big box, and pushing the box under the bed, Yan Qin's actions were done in one go.

Fearing that he would regret it if he didn't wait for Chang Xiao to come back, Yan Qin specially pushed the box inside.

No, I still wanted to take out the list and change what to do. Yan Qin looked at the list in confusion, and then pushed it in a few inches, to a depth that he would never push in normally.

Yan Qin didn't let go until the box could no longer be moved back. At this time, most of his body had already entered under the dragon bed. When he was slowly withdrawing, he accidentally bumped into a certain place.

At that moment, he heard a sound like gears turning.It was just a slight sound. If the place wasn't quiet enough, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

He froze for a moment, then looked around again, it was too dark under the bed, even though his eyes had adapted to the current darkness, he still couldn't fully see every detail inside.

Yan Qin quickly crawled out, took a huge South China Sea night pearl from the top of the dragon tent, and got under the bed again.

Because he was worried that palace people with unclean hands and feet would touch his things, Yan Qin's bedroom had always been cleaned by Chang Xiao or Yan Qin himself.

He himself likes to hide things under the bed, so he doesn't even allow Chang Xiao to touch the place behind the screen.There was already a thin layer of dust under the bed because it hadn't been cleaned for a few days. Yan Qin didn't think it was dirty. He supported his body with one hand and tried to keep the dragon robe on his body as far away from the ground as possible. Looking at the luminous pearl taken from the tent, it illuminates the surrounding environment as much as possible.

After checking all the floor tiles under the bed, he still can't find anything wrong.And because of slowly moving under the bed, the bright yellow dragon robe has become dusty, and his hair must have become dirty too.

Really exhausted and wasted effort, Yan Qin lay on the ground a little dejectedly for a while, intending to take a breath and get out.

Not long after he lay on the ground, the voice of Chang Xiao came from behind the screen, and Yan Qin subconsciously wanted to get out, and when he lifted his head, there was another thud.

"Ouch." He rubbed his head subconsciously, and the Ye Mingzhu in his hand rolled out, and he didn't know where it rolled. Yan Qin heard the sound of the first gear turning again, and he saw the bed. A masonry underneath has changed, exposing a very shallow corner.

Yan Qin lay there without moving, and only told Chang Xiao: "Let the others go out, Chang Xiao you come in."

Chang smiled enough to give orders, and went around to the front of the dragon bed behind the screen. He saw that the emperor was not there, and shouted again: "Your Majesty, where are you?"

The voice of the little emperor came from under the bed: "I'm here, you get another lamp, the kind with a cover. By the way, I also need a torch and a candle."

Why did the little emperor suddenly get under the bed? Chang Xiao couldn't figure it out, but since the emperor gave an order, he immediately responded, put the fire pocket and unused candles in his pocket, and took them from the table. He turned on a lamp and got under the bed.

Yan Qin has already pushed away part of the cornered masonry, he glanced at it and smiled: "What are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and give Gu a hand."

Chang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, leaned in front of the little emperor, spit on the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands together, rolled up his sleeves and gave a push as hard as he could.

With the concerted efforts of the master and the servant, there was a gap under the bed that could accommodate Yan Qin's big box.The bed was fixed, but it was high enough under the bed, and he tried it and was able to climb down.

Because the former emperor died too quickly and too early, every time he was reborn in the former emperor's mourning hall, Yan Qin still had a lot of things he didn't understand about this imperial palace.

He became the emperor of the third generation, and he slept in this dormitory for more than ten years, and the furnishings have been changed a lot. This is the first time he found such a mystery under the bed.

He didn't go down rashly, he touched his body, found a round golden bean, threw it down along the black hole, and listened carefully.

The golden bean rolled down with a gurgle, and then made a very crisp landing sound.He estimated in his heart that there should be a section of steps that are neither too long nor too short at the bottom of the hole.

He called Chang Xiao, then signaled his shadow guard to follow, took the lamp and candles, and went down with Chang Xiao.

Chang Xiao lit the torch and the candle and walked in front. The candle has not been extinguished, and he did not feel any difficulty in breathing. He could still feel the wind and even hear the sound of running water, but the sound was very small and very loud. The sound insulation effect of the stone slabs is good enough, so he slept on the bed and didn't hear any strange noises.

The top of the steps was dark, the middle was even darker, and the further down the steps, the brighter it became. When he was completely down, Yan Qin was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Underneath, a secret room about one-third the size of the imperial study was built. There are windows in the secret room. The sound of wind and water came from the small window. It should be the same as some secret passages in the palace. Some places connected to the ground.

Yan Qin also didn't care about the structure of the secret room, he carefully looked at the things in the secret room, and then found that the reason why the secret room is so bright is because the four corners are inlaid with night pearls.

Judging from the size and roundness of the night pearl, it should be something that only the emperor can have.In addition to the twelve night pearls used as lighting objects, there were also a lot of treasures and several sealed large boxes in the secret room.

Yan Qin tried to drag the big box, but it was too heavy to be able to drag it.

He looked at the habit of displaying things in the secret room, thinking that this was probably the former emperor's small treasury, and he didn't plan to stay there any longer. Get out the big boxes in the vault together.

The box was locked, but Yan Qin didn't find the key, so he ordered someone to find a craftsman to unlock the lock. Once the box was opened, it was full of good things hidden by the former emperor.

It was so golden that it dazzled people. When these things fell into the eyes of the people present, Yan Qin even heard the sound of someone swallowing their saliva.

But no matter how much you swallowed, it was useless. Since this belonged to the former emperor, it is naturally his property now, and no one else can get involved.

At most, for the sake of helping him get the things out of these palace people, reward them with some money.

Because of being too excited, Yan Qin didn't even change out of his dirty clothes, and personally ordered the windfall he made.

While humming, he rattled the golden abacus beads in his hand.

After finishing the calculation, Yan Qin's face showed joy, it was really a huge windfall.

It has to be said that he and the first emperor are father and son, and they always like to hide things under the bed, but he just hides in the box under the bed, while the first emperor directly dug a big secret room under the bed.

After all, the secret room was arranged by the first emperor, and it always feels like someone discovered it, as if some big secret had been revealed.The main reason was that it was inconvenient for Yan Qin to crawl under the bed to get things. He planned to hide things in another place after counting the money and jewels.

Suddenly becoming a rich man, Yan Qin was still a little uncomfortable. It took him more than an hour to accept the fact that he was suddenly rich.

After the things were hidden, he dragged out his box again, and then took out the Prince Regent's list.

He didn't feel distressed about these things anymore, but he felt that the dowry gift for the regent was too shabby. As soon as he picked up a pen, he added a lot of things to it, and gave away [-]% of the small treasury hidden by the former emperor.

Anyway, it was something that fell from the sky, and it was too easy to get, so Yan Qinhua didn't feel very distressed when she got out.

The emperor's dowry for the future empress needs to be arranged by the person who is in charge of the Phoenix seal now.Concubine De didn't have the power to change the little emperor's decision, but when she saw the dowry list that the little emperor gave to the future empress, she almost fainted from jealousy.

People are more popular than people, and they are talking about the current situation of Concubine De.Ever since Concubine Bai Mudan Bai Guifei was rejected by the emperor, she was the most honorable woman in the palace. Now that an empress was parachuted in, he would be crushed on her head as soon as she arrived, which naturally made him very uncomfortable.

And looking at the dowry list that the emperor added to the queen, it must have emptied the little emperor's treasury.Originally, she thought that the regent and the emperor were at odds, and the regent's sister would definitely not be valued by the little emperor, but when she saw this list, her heart suddenly became cold.

If you really don't value the queen, the dowry can be in accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Rites, according to the lowest grade, why add so many extra good things.

Concubine De felt that she was going crazy with jealousy. She knew that she didn't love the little emperor very much. After all, when she entered the palace, she saw very clearly that the emperor's affection was the last thing she could covet in this palace. It means wealth and power. She really likes this thing, but she is not so courageous, and she dare not go against the regent.

After finalizing the list of betrothal gifts, the Ministry of Rites and Household Department prepared the betrothal gifts for the future empress according to the emperor's will.

It may be because of the turmoil in the court some time ago, and now the courtiers are in urgent need of a major event to stabilize their restless hearts. This time, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households did not disappoint Yan Qin. It was only two days after the holiday. The man told him: "Your Majesty, the dowry gift you want has been prepared according to your list."

It's a pity to give away such a large amount of money.Yan Qin checked the betrothal gifts personally and sent them all to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Yan Qin was thin-skinned, so he didn't go to deliver it himself, but stayed in the palace, secretly waiting for the palace man who delivered the things to come back and report the regent's expression at that time.

Yan Qin's dowry was delivered, and the Prince Regent was also preparing the dowry for "Yan Ruge". "Yan Ruge" was fabricated by the King Regent. She has an outstanding appearance, and her personality is very similar to that of the King Regent. Although she has been kept outside, she has everything she should have.

It's not just a lot, the Prince Regent is very generous in this cheap sister's dowry. To be more precise, he almost emptied half of the Palace of the Regent to prepare for this wedding.

In the capital, many parents who have only one daughter, or who love their daughter like their own, would do such a thing for their only heir.

But as for the Prince Regent's Mansion, the Prince Regent doesn't have a daughter at all, this Yan Ruge is just his younger sister.Which head of the family would give most of the family property to the younger sister who is not a sibling.

That's right, not the same mother.Although there are rumors from the outside world that this Miss Yan Ruge has been raised outside, but no one in the capital knows that Yan Yuge's mother has only one son, Yan Yuge. Nine is the romantic debt of Yan Qin's father.

In this world, no woman can really tolerate other people around her beloved, let alone endure her sweetheart having a child with other people. Even if the child is a woman, they can't be pleasing to these people.

Yan Yuge's mother had only one child like him. From outsiders' point of view, he would stand on his mother's side no matter what, but the regent's heart was skewed, and he was bent on the "wild species" who suddenly appeared .

Who would have expected that "Yan Ruge" was just a trick used by the regent to deceive the world.The regent's behavior was too abnormal, no wonder the butler couldn't help thinking about it.

The three matchmakers and six hires are in place, the emperor's wedding dress and the queen's phoenix crown and Xiapei are also ready. For some people, it has been a long time, but for others, the day of the emperor's wedding has arrived in a blink of an eye.

But Concubine De and the others are willing or not, the housekeeper is afraid or not, and no one can stop the regent's decision.

Early in the morning, the young lady of the Prince Regent's Mansion was picked up to freshen up. She looked half or half like the Prince Regent, and after applying a thick layer of makeup, her complexion was even more gorgeous, and she looked exactly like the Prince Regent's. Mother is very similar.

You must know that the reason why Yan Yuge can have such a look is because he resembles his mother, the most beautiful woman in the capital.But this Yan Ruge was clearly not born by Yan Yuge's mother, so how could he look similar to the Prince Regent's mother? This is also puzzling.

If the emperor in the palace listened to the doubts of these people, he would definitely sneer at them.This problem is not simple, Yan Ruge was originally a tailor-made character for the regent's plan, so naturally he had to look similar to the regent, otherwise, wouldn't it be a surprise that the regent put on makeup and acted as his queen that day It was exposed.

On the day of the emperor's wedding, the housekeeper seemed very nervous. He was nervous not for other reasons, but because he was afraid that the regent would do something out of the ordinary, which would shame the entire Yan family for the regent.

He even gently reminded the regent many times that Mr. Yan and the ancestors of the Yan family were watching all this in the ancestral hall where they were enshrined. The regent must not be confused for a while.

Yan Yuge never thought that his butler could fabricate a story about his unrequited love with "Yan Ruge" in his head. In fact, if he was serious, he would still be able to find out that his butler was nervous and something was wrong.

But he had absolutely no way to put the slightest thought on the housekeeper when he said these words, and the next marriage with the little emperor was enough to occupy all his mind.And when the emperor came to pick up the bride's team before the Prince Regent's Mansion, he had to complete the identity swap with the bride, everything had to be timed well, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

Yan Yuge's appearance fell into the housekeeper's eyes, and it made the housekeeper feel even colder.The butler was so heartbroken that he just kept on doing nothing and ruined another men's wedding dress that hundreds of embroiderers drove out overnight.

He hadn't heard of any girl the Prince Regent was going to marry. The only suspect was Yan Ruge, who had just entered the mansion. Yan Yuge and Yan Ruge looked so similar. Unethical things must not happen to his master!

Before the emperor's palanquin came to pick him up, the regent went into his room and checked his second wedding dress.He had discussed with the little emperor a few days ago that the empress would get married, and after a few days of the big wedding, the little emperor could ignore political affairs, so he took advantage of these few days to arrange the second marriage with the little emperor up.

That's why he asked the housekeeper to make two sets of similar wedding dresses. The wedding dresses are all ready-made, and the wedding room and the like for the big wedding are also ready-made.

In the end, it was okay if he didn't look at it, but when he looked at it, he found that the men's outfit had been ruined abruptly.

It's not the kind of damage that is broken into rags, but it must be a big hole when worn on the body.Whoever wears a torn wedding dress at a big wedding, isn't that cursing his marriage for being unsatisfactory?

The regent's face turned dark all of a sudden. The wedding dress was delivered not long ago. He interrogated the guards who had been guarding the door and confirmed that no one had entered his room, so he deduced that the wedding dress was It was destroyed before it was delivered.

Just as he was about to try the case carefully and find out the culprit, the housekeeper came to inform him: "Your Majesty, the procession to welcome the bride has arrived."

The arrival of the emperor's team meant that he had to replace them quickly. Yan Yuge glanced at the wedding dress on the bed, and then at the butler: "Understood, this king will inform my sister right away."

Over the past few days, the housekeeper seems to be behaving a bit wrong. Thinking about it carefully, there are not many people who have access to his wedding dress, and even fewer people who dare to destroy his wedding dress. The housekeeper is one of them. one.

Although he didn't know why the butler did such a thing, just disobeying him was enough for him to punish the butler.

But now he doesn't have the leisure to bother with the butler, anyway, let him go to the little emperor's side to talk about it.

He did so much hard work, not for the purpose of letting a fake accompany the little emperor to complete all the ceremonies of the emperor's wedding.

It was the first time that Yan Qin was conferred the title of Empress. Yan Qin was picked up early in the morning and let a bunch of old mothers and eunuchs smear on his face. Those officials insisted, and said that the emperors of all dynasties came in this way.

Anyway, it was like this once in a lifetime, and Yan Qin didn't bother to talk to them. He sat on the chair for more than an hour, his noble buttocks were almost numb, and finally heard a sentence: "Your Majesty, it's ready!" .”

He looked in the mirror and was taken aback by himself.Originally, he was fair enough, but the man in the mirror was as white as a male ghost, with two blobs of red on his face, which looked ridiculous.

"Aren't you playing tricks on Gu?" In this way, he went to the street to show the people a monkey show, and how could he show his wisdom, martial arts and handsomeness.

Although the officials and old nuns tried their best to persuade the little emperor, Yan Qin still firmly refused to make up his face to look like a ghost.

He reluctantly accepted that he had three layers of powder on his face, rejected the blush that was redder than a monkey's buttocks, and made sure that he was handsome enough, so he went out of the gate to meet his bride.
