Chapter 45 Survival Code
At the moment when the box was opened, Jiang Shishi felt radiant.

Taking a closer look, the two boxes were full of silver ingots and gold ingots.

Huang Dechang said with a smile: "Jiang Meiren, this is a reward from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Among them, the total amount of silver notes, silver, and broken silver coins is 5000 taels, and the total amount of gold, golden peanuts, and golden melon seeds is 500 taels."

No one dislikes gold and silver treasures, and Jiang Shishi is no exception.

But a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way, so she can't just accept the money for no reason.

"Your Highness, I can't take these silver coins." Jiang Shishi was flattered.

"Why not?"

"If you don't get rewarded for no merit, the concubine is ashamed to receive it."

"No, this is what you deserve." Pei Xuanling took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "You helped Gu avoid disaster on the cruise last time, and it will be considered a reward from Gu for your meritorious service."

Although gold and silver are vulgar objects, they can also give people a foothold in the palace without being too special.

"But didn't you reward me with a pond of fish?"

"The fish is the reward you proposed, and the silver today is the reward for you alone."

Jiang Shishi: "Yes"

"I'll continue if I give it to you, don't disobey Gu's meaning." The man's tone was firm.

The prince has already talked about this, and Jiang Shishi also knows that the prince has made up his mind to reward her.

He no longer refused, but stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Pei Xuanling had to go back to the front yard, so he didn't stay long, and left with Huang Dechang and others.

Jiang Shishi sent the prince to the door, and when she returned to the hall, she looked at the two large boxes of gold and silver ingots thoughtfully.

She helped the prince avoid disaster, and her original intention was to prevent herself from being buried.

But now...she seems to have inadvertently grasped the survival code of "being able to lie flat in the Buddhist Department of the Eastern Palace without going to bed"?

**
Early the next morning, it was reported in the East Palace that the maid who stole was killed by the concubine Tang.

As for the previous dynasty, there was news that Bei Mo had arrived in the capital.

This time, the emperor planned to receive the Northern Desert envoy at the royal hunting ground.

After the envoys arrived in the capital last night, the minister of rites sent them directly to the royal hunting ground.

In the early morning of this day, Emperor Jianyuan led the princes, ministers and princes to the royal hunting ground.

Like last time, Jiang Shishi shared a carriage with the prince.

About two hours later, the mighty team arrived at the royal hunting ground.

When Jiang Shishi got off the carriage, he saw the endless prairie, green grass like felt, and herds of cattle and sheep.

At a glance, the blue sky and white clouds blend with the grasslands and flocks of sheep.

There are not only grasslands here, but also rolling hills in the distance, rolling like waves.

Between the grassland and the hills, there are several meandering rivers. The clear river surface is reflected by the blue sky and the grassland into a lake blue.

The air is filled with the breath of the prairie, which is refreshing.

Dense yurts were temporarily stationed on the grassland, and the maids and eunuchs in the hunting ground led everyone to their respective yurts.

Jiang Shishi was arranged to live in a yurt with the prince. She and Chun Xing put the burden in the yurt and made the bed.

Near noon, Emperor Jianyuan held a banquet on the grassland for the envoys from Beimo.

The banquet was held in the golden tent of Emperor Jianyuan. Emperor Jianyuan and Beimo Khan "Battle" sat in the middle seat, and the rest sat around in the golden tent.

The middle is respected, the right is second, and the left is the bottom.

The crown prince was sitting on the right side, and Jiang Shishi was sitting beside him. The two shared a long table.

After everyone was seated, the eunuchs brought in the roasted whole lamb and whole roasted ox.

The palace maids brought delicacies from the Central Plains and placed them on everyone's tables one by one.

After Emperor Jianyuan and Battelle made crosses on the backs of the cattle and sheep with small knives, they each dipped their hands in wine and flicked it three times, and the banquet officially began.

First, the Minister of Rituals read Beimo's tribute list: "In March of the 28th year of Jianyuan, Beimo paid [-] stones of millet and corn each, [-] square inches of Beimo carpets, [-] fat sheep, and [-] Bahrain stone carvings."

Due to the limited space of the yurts, the tributes had already been put into storage, so they were not carried into the yurts.

After reading the list of gifts, Emperor Jianyuan greeted Battelle a few words.

Battelle laughed boldly and raised his glass to drink with Emperor Jianyuan.

Jiang Shishi was busy eating roast mutton, and while she was eating, Battelle said boldly: "In our northern desert, in such an important banquet, in addition to drinking and eating mutton, there is also wrestling and martial arts!"

After Battle said so, Emperor Jianyuan appointed the second prince Kang Wang and two generals to fight.

Bei Mo also selected three wrestlers to fight.

Jiang Shishi is not full yet, and she is about to start wrestling.

Moreover, there were so many people around, and the female relatives present had already put down their bowls and chopsticks, so she didn't want to eat meat.

I had no choice but to put down the bowls and chopsticks and watch the wrestling contest.

The first one, Bei Mo wins.

In the second hand, Kang Wang played.

I remember that the book once described "Kang Wang practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was brave and good at fighting".

At this moment, Kang Wang has a burly body with protruding shoulders and arms. The first impression he gives is that he is strong and violent, which is in line with the image in the book.

The person who fell against King Kang was a tall, burly, and round-armed Beimo native.

People from Beimo were already good at wrestling, and they were born mighty and majestic. Jiang Shishi was sweating coldly for King Kang in her heart.
