Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

At the hour of You, His Majesty and the Empress arrived in sedan chairs and grand music was played. After the Emperor ascended the throne, the music stopped and then whips were blown.

The Crown Prince and the kings entered the hall in turn, and civil and military officials above the fourth rank entered the hall from the east and west gates of the Taiping Hall.

Today is the New Year's Eve palace banquet, and the Crown Prince and Prince Qi are also allowed to leave the palace to attend the banquet.

It’s just that the Crown Prince was very arrogant and didn’t take the house arrest seriously, and Prince Qi was said to be very ill and couldn’t come.

The Guanglu Temple began to offer imperial banquets.

After a series of lengthy ceremonies, it was time to present treasures to the emperor.

The first is the prince.

What he presented to the emperor were "three boxes of elixirs for longevity and longevity".

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly looked up at the tray that the prince had someone bring over.

On the red silk were three exquisitely crafted boxes. When the boxes were opened, each box contained three black pills sprinkled with gold powder.

"Your Majesty, this is the elixir that I got from Master Xiandou. I only have nine pills, and I offer them to you. I wish you a long and healthy life."

The prince presented the box respectfully, and Xie Zhaozhao's heart was in her throat.

This elixir of immortality is Guan Yingying’s panacea, right?

The prince said to Hua Zisheng: "Hua Zongguan, can you take one pill for my father to take? I wish my father will soon become an immortal."

Emperor Hui held the box and looked at the pills. Xie Zhaozhao clenched his fists and his face changed color.

She hurriedly looked for Gu Shaoyu. Didn't he say he would take care of it? How come it was sent to the emperor?

But unexpectedly, when she looked over, the other person was also looking at her.

Xie Zhaozhao calmly indicated that there was something wrong with the prince's "elixir of life", and Gu Shaoyu shook his head slightly.

He shook his head?

Tell her not to worry?

Don't interfere?

Or is this pill fake?

She mouthed: "Fake?"

Gu Shaoyu nodded slightly.

Xie Zhaozhao let out a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Old Madam Xie gently pulled her sleeve. Xie Zhaozhao turned her head slightly, a little surprised.

Old Madam Xie had a smile on her face, her eyes turned slightly towards Gu Shaoyu, and then she shook her head slightly at her.

Xie Zhaozhao's ears turned red in an instant. Her grandmother misunderstood her and thought that she was flirting with Gu Shaoyu in the hall!

She quickly lowered her eyelids and listened obediently to everyone's treasures.

Emperor Hui did not swallow the pill immediately. He asked Hua Zisheng to take it and said, "Your Highness is thoughtful. As a reward, I will give you ten horses."

"Thank you, Father, for the reward."

The prince did not expect Emperor Hui to eat it immediately, as long as he accepted it.

He was reluctant to give it to His Majesty, but that woman Tu Qianyue insisted that he give it to his father, saying that his father knew the benefits of the pill and would definitely make peace with him.

Send a few pills, and you don't have to spend money to buy other things. Not only does it save money, but this magical pill is also unique.

The Queen couldn't understand the Prince any more. Was he trying to mend his relationship with His Majesty? To wish His Majesty a long life?

Next came the Prince of Jin, and several little princes also presented treasures.

After that, the ministers presented treasures.

They offered all kinds of clever ideas, and some even presented expensive treasures.

The prince looked at Gu Shaoyu who had remained silent and calmly watched others presenting gifts. He couldn't help but asked with a smile, "I wonder what rare gift Elder Gu is going to present to my father?"

In fact, many people think this way, but they dare not say it out loud.

Your Majesty is usually very good to Lord Gu. What treasure will he present to Your Majesty?

When Gu Shaoyu was asked by the prince, he stood up and said to His Majesty: "I don't have much money, and I don't know anything about treasures. I can't show you my things, and I'm afraid Your Majesty will dislike them."

The prince was happy when he heard this, but he still said gently: "It's fine, father won't dislike it. After all, it's all a token of his love, right, father?"

Emperor Hui smiled and said, "Your Highness is right. Lord Gu is devoted to the country and has a clean record. No matter what gift you bring, it is a token of your heart and I will gladly accept it."

Old Madam Hou also looked at Gu Shaoyu. Other people’s treasures were either priceless or extremely rare and ingenious. What treasure could he offer to His Majesty?

Thinking about the fact that all of San'er's salary and farm shops had been handed over to the public treasury, the old lady felt uneasy.

The eldest brother mentioned it a few days ago, saying that all the mansions were preparing to offer treasures, so what would the Marquis' Mansion offer?

The old lady thought that she never had to worry about the annual treasure offerings, as Gu Shaoyu took care of everything on his own. She was used to letting him do nothing, and this year would probably be the same as in previous years, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

So nothing was prepared for San'er!

But Mrs. Lu asked Mrs. Tu in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, has our mansion prepared gifts?"

Tu said nothing. What was she preparing? There was no money in the treasury. In the past, the third son had to find ways to offer treasures on his own, and the government never intervened!

Xie Xiangxiang was slapped twice, and she was ashamed in front of the people from the two mansions. She hated Xie Zhaozhao in her heart. At this moment, she felt very happy. The mansion must not have prepared a gift for Gu Shaoyu. She stood up for the rules every day at the Tu family, and she never heard her mention it.

Didn't the eldest sister have a large dowry? Why didn't she help the man? Why was she so stingy?

It would be shameful to lose face in front of His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the royal family, and in front of all the court officials. It would be best if he could not keep his position as a cabinet minister and be dismissed and investigated immediately.

Isn't that very arrogant? You slapped me twice. Thank you Zhaozhao. Sooner or later, I will hit you back tenfold or a hundredfold!

She looked at Xie Zhaozhao, who lowered his brows and looked at the snacks and fruit plates on the table in front of him.

Xie Xiangxiang thought bitterly: The prince had better ascend the throne soon and Lord Gu should fall. Xie Zhaozhao, if you remain so calm, I will walk with my head down from now on.

Gu Shaoyu took out an iron box and a letter.

The prince burst out laughing and gently reminded: "Lord Gu, I have already presented the elixir of immortality to my father!"

Gu Shaoyu gave him a look that said "be patient" and respectfully handed over the iron box and the letter.

"I negotiated with Tubo a few months ago. The Tubo Plateau produces a rare and precious herb called snow silkworm grass, which has a strong effect on replenishing deficiency, improving essence and qi, and relieving cough and reducing phlegm..."

"Alright, Lord Gu." The prince suddenly became a little excited and said impatiently, "Although snow silkworm grass is rare, it is not uncommon in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and my father eats it often. How can what you brought be considered a rare thing?"

None of the ministers wanted to offend Gu Shaoyu. There was no need to offend a powerful minister during the New Year.

Since Duke Cheng'en and his party refused to bid, several officials suggested that Gu Shaoyu "change for other treasures to show his sincerity."

Duke Cheng En did not make a scene with them, and said, "Lord Gu, it does not matter whether something is valuable or not. I think His Majesty does not care. Just be more thoughtful next time and find a better one."

How come you're not serious about this?

Xie Tingting stared with a pair of big eyes, with a curious look on her face, but she was thinking in her heart: Minister? Powerful minister? Can he be higher than the prince? Can he be higher than the crown prince? Isn't he still a slave of the royal family!

His Majesty remained silent. He knew his subject too well. How could this man suffer a loss?

Gu Shaoyu did not argue with the prince. He handed a box of snow silkworm grass to Hua Zisheng and handed the memorial in his hand to Emperor Hui.

"Your Majesty, I have ordered people to buy up a large amount of this snow silkworm grass in Tubo. Originally, one tael of silver was worth 300 pieces, but I ordered people to buy it at one tael of silver for 100 pieces..."

Everyone scratched their ears, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

Others bought 300 sticks with one ounce of silver, but he bought 100 sticks with one ounce of silver? Isn't that the opposite?

The prince couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lord Gu, you are three times more expensive than others. Is it a virtue to buy at a high price? Is it worth it for you to ask for credit in front of the emperor?"

Gu Shaoyu still ignored his provocation.

The queen frowned. What was the prince trying to do?

Today is a big banquet, why did you mess with Gu Shaoyu?

She stopped the prince from speaking and said gently to Gu Shaoyu, "Lord Gu, although your price is three times that of others, you have indeed taken the trouble to purchase so much snow silkworm grass for His Majesty."

Is this a compliment?

"Your Majesty, I think you should at least let Lord Gu finish what he is saying before making any comments!" Concubine Xi stood up to defend Gu Shaoyu.

Elder Liu also suggested: "Your Majesty, let Elder Gu finish his words!"
