Chapter 151: Reputation

Su Nanyi nodded: "I like it very much. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Ling Xiao's Adam's apple rolled, and he looked at Su Nanyi's charming face affectionately. Today she was out of confinement, and he could pamper her.

At this moment, his mind suddenly appeared their wedding night and the night when she was pregnant with twins.

As he was thinking about it, his body began to change. Fortunately, he was sitting so no one could see the changes in his body.

Ling Xiao reached out and held Su Nanyi's hand uncomfortably. Her hands were soft and boneless, slender and delicate. They were a pair of beautiful delicate hands.

He held that delicate hand and couldn't help rubbing it gently.

Su Nanyi felt very uncomfortable with his touch and wanted to pull her hand away, but Ling Xiao held it tightly.

She glared at him fiercely, wondering what this bastard was doing.

Ling Xiao ignored her gaze, held her little hand, glanced into the hall, and curled his lips slightly, looking like he was enjoying it.

Their little actions were seen by Yun Yuerou who was behind them. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to pull Su Nanyi away and sit over.

So angry.

The other concubines also had their eyes on Ling Xiao. They were all wondering in their hearts when the person around Ling Xiao would be replaced by her.

Of course there is an exception, and that is Concubine Li.

Her eyes were fixed on Ling Xiao. The moment she saw him, she was reminded of that night.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao seemed to have forgotten her since then and never set foot in Chaoxia Palace again.

But her period didn't come this month, and she knew she might be pregnant.

She touched her belly which hadn't changed at all, but she didn't know how her child would be treated after it was born.

Is it as grand as the wedding of twins, or like Ling Le’s?
Tomorrow is Ling Le’s full moon. With the grand banquet for the twins today, it is easy to imagine what Ling Le will be like tomorrow.

For a moment, Lipin's heart was a little uncertain.

Nanny Mu beside her looked at Lipin in surprise, bent down and asked quietly: "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Nanny Mu knew very well that Concubine Li was pregnant and thought she was just feeling unwell.

Concubine Li took a deep breath and shook her head. She was not feeling unwell physically, but mentally.

Nanny Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Concubine Li's pregnancy was not yet stable, so she couldn't have big mood swings, as it would affect the fetus that had just implanted.

She served Concubine Li carefully.

This scene attracted the attention of several pairs of eyes, with some expressions of confusion and "so that's it".

After a while, there will be good news from the palace.

Because it was a full-month party for the twins, the songs and dances were mainly for blessings, and a total of three programs were arranged.

The show is over, and now comes the gift-giving part.

The gifts sent by the major court officials were all exquisite, showing that they racked their brains to come up with them.

Seeing the mountains of gifts, Su Nanyi curled the corners of her mouth. The two little ones were already very rich from now on.

Adding the gifts Ling Xiao gave them when they were just born, Su Nanyi felt that the brothers' wealth was basically equal to hers.

She lived to be so wealthy until she was almost twenty years old. I'm a little envious.

However, thinking of the drought in Beizhou, Su Nanyi thought for a moment and said to Ling Xiao: "Your Majesty, how about auctioning off all these gifts and donating them all to Beizhou? What do you think?" "Why do you have such an idea, Yi'er?"

Ling Xiao was surprised. He knew how to solve the drought in Beizhou and didn't need all these things.

He could also see that these were all good things, and he was thinking of saving them for the twins so that they would be useful in the future.

For Ling Tian to take over his position, wealth is essential.

When Ling An practices medicine in the future, wealth will be essential so that he can help more people who need his help.

Su Nanyi: "I was thinking, there is a severe drought in Beizhou right now, but we are holding a full-month banquet for the twins in the capital, and it is so grand.

I don’t want Tian’er and his friends to be criticized for being spoiled since childhood. I have this idea.”

As for wealth, to be honest, Su Nanyi really didn't take these things to heart. She could just take some of the things in her space and sell them on the black market to buy more precious things.

The twins will never lack money to spend in the future.

If all the proceeds were auctioned today and donated to Beizhou, it would help gain popularity for the twins.

Popularity is not something that can be gained overnight, and they are princes who have been the focus of everyone's attention since childhood. Reputation is very important to them and must be accumulated from childhood.

Ling Tian will inherit the throne in the future, so his reputation is more important.

After hearing what Su Nanyi said, Ling Xiao immediately understood her intention, and said with some pain: "Then let Yiyi'er do as she wishes. I will take care of this matter. Yiyi'er can rest assured and take care of Tian'er and An'er.

No matter how much money is raised, it will be given directly to Beizhou."

Su Nanyi glanced at him and said, "Then the emperor must find a reliable person to do it, and don't let anyone swallow up the silver. This pile of things is worth a lot of money if it is auctioned."

Ling Xiao is a person who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Even if he becomes an emperor, he may not necessarily know the twists and turns in between.

How could Ling Xiao not understand? He pretended not to know: "Well, thank you Yi'er for reminding me, I understand."

As soon as the banquet was over, Ling Xiao summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mr. Ma, and told him about the pile of gifts.

After hearing this, Lord Ma's eyes narrowed into slits. He must have seen the pile of gifts received yesterday. The gifts given by the officials to the two princes were not cheap things. Each one was priceless.

If all of this batch of items were auctioned off, it would really help solve a lot of the problems caused by the drought in Beizhou.

At the very least, the cost of digging canals can be solved at present.

This time, the people were paid for their labor service, and each person had to pay one or two taels of silver as a wage per month.

More than 100,000 taels had to be paid out every month, and the national treasury couldn't afford it.

Moreover, digging a canal is a huge project that may take several years, which is a considerable expense.

He was in charge of the emperor's purse and people had to ask him for money everywhere. He felt distressed when he saw so much money being spent.

Moreover, every year the national treasury receives less money than it spends, and the financial situation is very tight, which gives him a headache.

The emperor wants to auction the full-month gifts for the two princes. This is a timely relief.

Lord Ma was delighted and asked, "Your Majesty, should we hold it in the palace, or in an auction house in the capital?"

There was a reason for him to ask this, as he was asking what Ling Xiao meant, whether it was a pure auction or to build up reputation for the two princes.

Ling Xiao cursed him in his heart as an old fox. Wasn't his meaning obvious enough? So he asked, "What do you think, Lord Ma?"

When Lord Ma heard this, he immediately understood what Ling Xiao meant and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have a way to auction off so many items at once, and also accumulate merit for the two emperors."

To accumulate merit is to accumulate reputation for the twins.
