EBE Chapter 499 Princess Sheng Yan
Chapter 499 Princess Sheng Yan
Emperor Yongshun glanced at everyone and knew some of their little thoughts. Such jealousy also pleased Emperor Yongshun.
Emperor Yongshun also noticed subtle changes in their appearance and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zheng Sisi is really amazing! Some things applied on the face can change a person's appearance. No wonder these women are willing to spend a lot of money for a face." His eyes wandered on everyone's face, as if looking for something.
Because he himself was also using that set of skin care products and had a deep understanding of it, Emperor Yongshun once again examined everyone's faces and said with a smile: "My beloved concubines have become more and more powerful in their beauty-preserving techniques recently. You have become more beautiful."
This sentence made all the concubines giggle. They touched their faces shyly. One concubine said in a delicate voice: "Your Majesty has a good eye! I feel that my skin has become better recently. It feels as smooth and delicate as a peeled egg. Even when I look in the mirror, I feel pleasing to the eye."
Although the queen was not as straightforward as the other concubines, she also gracefully brushed her cheek with her handkerchief, and was obviously quite satisfied with her appearance.
The emperor was in a good mood and decided to play a little joke on his concubines: "It seems that I have to come to the harem more often in the future to appreciate all the beauties." This witty remark caused everyone to laugh again, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
It didn't take long for Sheng Zhen to distribute all the gifts. Each concubine received six small jars. The concubines naturally didn't need to take any themselves. Fortunately, there were many palace maids and nannies with them, so it was easy for each of them to take two jars.
Emperor Yongshun, the tool man, saw that the gifts had been distributed, so he waved his hand and said, "My beloved concubines, please go back and enjoy them slowly. I still have memorials to review, so I will not accompany you."
Seeing what the emperor said, the concubines could only leave in dismay. Today's appearance would depend on the result tonight. The concubines walked in front, and the maids and nurses behind them were all holding jars on the way to the harem, which was another beautiful scenery.
After the concubines left, Sheng Zhen gave each of the eunuchs and guards who helped them a small jar, and everyone was delighted and kept thanking him.
"Father, I will leave the palace on behalf of Sisi to look for the eldest sister, so I won't stay with you for long." When Emperor Yongshun heard that his third son was going to look for his eldest daughter, he nodded and said, "Go ahead, it's good to go and see her."
The Queen arranged for this eldest daughter since she was born and gave her the title of the eldest princess, but she herself paid little attention to her. Only when her presence was needed would the ministers mention her. After Zheng Sisi went there last time, he also went to see her once. He didn't expect that the child, despite having the status of the eldest princess, lived such a simple life.
Later, Eunuch Mu was asked to take care of her several times. In the harem, which has always believed in flattering the powerful and trampling the weak, I believe she has been living a better life recently. It is also a blessing for this daughter to be favored by Princess Anping.
As the emperor guessed, the eldest princess' life had improved a lot. At least there were more maids and servants in the palace, and the food and living standards had improved a lot. All of this was because the emperor paid attention to it, and the queen arranged it after receiving the news.
Sheng Zhen went over to take a look, brought her some snacks, and gave her a silver note of 1,000 taels. The frightened Grand Princess dared not accept it: "Yan'er is very happy that the Third Emperor can come to see Yan'er, but Yan'er cannot accept this silver note."
Sheng Zhenzhen knew she had misunderstood, but she was still as aloof as ever, and she explained coldly: "You misunderstood. This is what you deserve. It is the return of your four hundred taels of silver. Sisi used your four hundred taels of silver to make an investment. This is a dividend. I will give it to you after the revenue is reconciled."
The princess and the two maids beside her were stunned. They saw with their own eyes that Princess Anping took 400 taels from the princess, and she returned 1,000 taels in just over two months. After recovering the investment, she still made 600 taels and could get dividends in the future. Is it so easy to make money now? The three of them did not come back to their senses for a long time.
Seeing the silly looks of the master and his servants, Sheng Zhen put the banknotes on the table and turned away. By the time Princess Sheng Yan reacted, Sheng Zhen was almost at the palace gate.
"Third brother, thank Princess Anping for me!"
Sheng Zhen ignored her and walked away without even pausing.
The master and his two servants were left staring at the silver bills and several jars on the table in a daze, unable to believe that this was real, nor could they believe that the Third Prince had just been there.
"Princess, pinch me and see if it hurts."
"Pinch it yourself!"
"I can't do it. I'm afraid of the pain."
"Let me help you." The maid next to her pinched her arm.
"Oh! It hurts! This is real. Why don't you pinch me instead of yourself?" Then the two maids laughed and chased and played with each other.
The eldest princess Sheng Yan sat at the table, staring at the jars and silver bills on the table intently, her heart deeply moved and her eyes filled with crystal tears.
