SFS Chapter 141: Overwhelming wealth
Chapter 141: Overwhelming wealth
[As far as I know, the treasury is empty now, and the old emperor is most in need of money. Money can make the devil work, so why can't you subdue an old emperor who is penniless? As long as the money is in place, let alone a small account, he can pamper you to the point of giving you a bunch of grapes.]
Tong Fei's eyes lit up with hope, as if she had seen a bunch of grapes lining up to call her mother.
[Really? Do you really have to have a brainless son like Ye Xuanling? ]
Tong Fei: Actually...actually it doesn’t seem to be necessary.
Seeing that Concubine Tong was still acting timid and cowardly, Song Yunxi felt she couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
[I really beg you, you are rich and pretty, but you still make yourself so humble and pitiful. The God of Wealth would scold you for being blind and wasting your money.]
Although he really couldn't stand Concubine Tong's love-and-son-loving mind, he also felt that she was really pitiful. In addition, the Queen was also very worried after learning about Concubine Tong's illness, so even Emperor Qinglong wondered why Song Yunxi always went to Yuqiong Palace.
Ye Xuanling, who received the news outside the palace, could no longer sit still. He rushed into the palace without caring that his injuries had not yet healed completely, for fear that his simple and heartless mother would be bullied and exploited by Song Yunxi.
When he arrived at Yuqiong Palace and learned that Song Yunxi was indeed there, he hinted to the palace servants not to pass the message, and was determined to expose Song Yunxi's true vicious and hypocritical face.
But the laughter coming from the hall made him stand still. For a moment he was so surprised that he thought he had heard it wrong.
This is my mother's voice.
My mother actually laughed!
As long as he could remember, he had never seen his mother laugh so heartily.
The mother in his memory was always sad and melancholy, and always looked sick. When had she ever smiled so sincerely from the heart?
Even the smile was forced out, the sadness and resentment in the eyes could not be concealed at all.
What did Song Yunxi do to his mother?
He remembered what Song Muxue said, that Song Yunxi could always inexplicably control people's hearts and make them do things against their will.
No matter Ye Xuanqi or Ye Xuanke, they were all bewitched by her.
Witch!
Song Yunxi must be a witch!
He could not sit idly by and watch his mother being controlled and bewitched by this evil woman.
With an urgent desire to save his mother, Ye Xuanling strode in.
Listening to Ye Youran telling stories about learning martial arts from the Queen and the various interesting trainings she received, as well as her increasingly determined desire to become a female general, Concubine Tong was in a good mood and recalled her younger self.
"I have to quickly hold on to the thigh of the future female general. From now on, I have you to protect me, and Arou, the richest woman, to support me. I can really lie down and rest."
Song Yunxi was sincerely happy for her two good friends as they both had goals in life.
Ye Youran suddenly asked Concubine Tong: "Have you ever thought about what you might be doing now if you hadn't entered the palace?"
If you don't enter the palace...
Tong Fei's eyes suddenly became empty, as if she saw her carefree self in the past: "At that time, I knew nothing and could not do anything. I could not learn to read, write, do accounting, manage household affairs, or do needlework and play the piano."
“The only thing I want to do is to make an agreement with my friends to eat all the delicious food in the world, and then sleep under the cherry tree at home after eating.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was so useless and shameful. He looked a little embarrassed, afraid that Song Yunxi and Ye Youran would laugh at him.
"so good!"
Song Yunxi suddenly seemed to have met a soulmate: "I am similar to the queen. My ultimate goal in life is to eat and wait for death, and then have money fall on my head."
It's that kind of effortless, wasteful hedonistic life, and just thinking about it makes you feel better.
Hearing her say this, Concubine Tong's embarrassment just now was swept away, replaced by the arrogance of being rich and powerful: "This is not difficult, this palace has nothing but money, just tell me how much you want, this palace still has enough money for you to eat, drink and have fun for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Song Yunxi's eyes sparkled with stars, and she hugged Concubine Tong's arm: "My Lady, I am serious!"
[Sponsor daddy... no no, sponsor mommy, you must keep your word and do what you say, you must spend real money on me! ]
Her playful thoughts made Concubine Tong laugh and cry, and suddenly she understood why the emperor and the empress loved her so much.
Who doesn’t like such a cute, playful and cunning little fox?
If she could use money to trick the little fox into staying with her, she wouldn't want that stupid son, even if it was as many small trumpets as bunches of grapes.
Unfortunately, that's impossible.
How shameless one must be to snatch someone away from the imperial teacher!
Although she is a little stupid, she still has self-awareness.
The more Concubine Tong looked at Song Yunxi, the more she liked her. It was not because Song Yunxi saved her life from Concubine Shen's conspiracy and cured her heart disease, but because she simply liked her.
Song Yunxi seems to have this ability that makes people fall in love with her involuntarily.
So he immediately ordered the palace servants to bring a jewelry box... a jewelry box, picked out some rare and precious jewelry and pushed it in front of Song Yunxi: "These are for you."
ha……?
Although Song Yunxi likes to dress simply and elegantly, and usually does not wear any jewelry but simply ties her hair with a headband, she grew up in Shengyun Mountain and is well-informed after all. She can tell at a glance how precious these jewelry are.
Concubine Tong also picked some and gave them to Ye Youran.
While the two were stunned, he ordered the palace servants to bring some rare treasures from the storehouse to Song Yunxi: "These are sent by my brother. I heard they are from overseas."
"I have never seen it before and I don't know what it is, but since it was sent by my brother, it must be good. I'll give it to you to take back and use as a toy to entertain yourself."
Song Yunxi wanted to cry. Are all the rich people who only care about spending money so willful?
It is true that his second brother is the richest man in the world, but the money he earns not only supports the expenses of the entire Shengyun Mountain, but also has to secretly supply the army for so many years, and train a large number of spies to be sent to various countries...
In short, every penny of income in their Imperial Master's Mansion had a designated destination. Even the wealth she stole from the Ningguo Mansion was to be used to provide for the soldiers in the army and the people living on the border, so she had never squandered it at will.
But today, Concubine Tong made her realize what it means to be so poor that only money is left.
The overseas items sent by the Tong family were things that Jin Anchao had never seen before. Song Yunxi was a little dizzy by this sudden surprise.
[Is this overwhelming wealth finally mine? Ah...my sponsor, just tell me what you want, flatter me or be my lackey, I will do whatever you want! ]
Listening to her inner thoughts, Concubine Tong felt better and better.
In the past, Ye Xuanling often took rare treasures from her to please Song Muxue, but Song Muxue obviously accepted them for the sake of the treasures, but pretended to be noble and despised wealth, which made Ye Xuanling mock her every time for being born into a merchant family and having a lot of money.
