Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 1074
Everyone looked at the floor-to-ceiling blue and white porcelain vase with the height of half a person in unison, thinking that it would be worth two or three hundred taels of silver at most.

But as soon as the prince opened his mouth, it was another time of national crisis, and they all took at least 500 taels!
If you take too much, you will be questioned by other officials for accepting bribes. After all, your monthly salary is there.

If you take less... the crown prince will definitely be unhappy....

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first bird.

The prince glanced at the cold-faced Fifth Prince on the lower right, and his eyes shifted to Jing Rong on the lower left.

Jing Rong looked at him coldly.

The prince withdrew his gaze and took out a few banknotes from his cuff. "The prince took the lead in donating 3000 taels."

Eunuch Wen immediately stepped forward to take it with both hands, and read aloud: "The prince donated 3000 taels of silver." Then the little eunuch Xiao Lizi immediately wrote it down.

The prince's eyes instantly fell on the fifth prince. "Fifth Emperor Brother."

The fifth prince raised his head and looked at him, squinted his eyes and said with a slightly sinister smile: "Brother, younger brother, I didn't bring any money when I went out today."

The prince smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, report the number, and the prince will send someone to your residence immediately to get it."

Fifth Prince: "...Brother is really thoughtful." He turned to look at Eunuch Wen. "Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels."

Eunuch Wen: "..." This is deliberately provoking the prince!Looking down at Xiao Lizi, who was keeping the account, he signaled him not to worry about it and write it down quickly.

The prince really squinted his eyes and stared at the fifth prince, his eyes gradually moved down, and landed on his gauze-wrapped left hand, and he asked with a look of concern: "The fifth brother injured his hand, I'm afraid it's not enough to leave one tael of silver to see the injury." ?” Why didn’t Situ Yanju kill him with a single blow!what a pity!

The fifth prince: "...Thank you for your concern, brother, my little brother's hand is no longer hindered."

The crown prince and the fifth prince took the lead in donating, and the other ministers knew the amount in their hearts, and reported the amount of around seven or eight hundred with tears in their eyes.

Some generals have a poor family, and they can only report one or two hundred taels of silver, which is already the limit.

The fifth prince kept staring at Jing Rong, seeing that he hadn't paid the bill, staring at him closely and asked, "How much money are you going to pay?"

Jing Rong confronted him with cold eyes. "No more, no less, 2 taels."

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers were in an uproar!
An ordinary person's annual income is no more than three or four taels.

Like their officials, they are well-paid and rich, plus accepting bribes, only one or two thousand silver a year, but they are corrupt officials that are well known and scolded by the world!

When Jing Rong made a move, it turned out to be 2 taels!

The fifth prince immediately questioned Jing Rong: "2 taels? Didn't he seize a lot of property in private when he was ordered to raid the house?" He knew that Jing Rong was rich, and his wealth was incomparable!But he used to hide and keep a low profile.

Now that he dared to expose his wealth in a fair manner, and had already betrayed him, naturally he couldn't let him go easily!
Naturally, it's easy to plant and frame something!

Some ministers also echoed their doubts.

When the officials from the prime minister's faction were pulled down, the person responsible for ransacking the house was Jing Rong!

The people from the fifth prince's faction seemed to have grasped the evidence immediately, accusing Jing Rong of unknown sources of money.

There were even two officials who knelt down in front of the fifth prince's suggestive eyes and asked the prince to thoroughly investigate the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Punishment!

Jing Rong was clearly in a dangerous vortex, but his demeanor was calm and composed.He smiled at the officials who questioned him.

The strange smile made everyone shudder, and they all looked at the prince on the throne, waiting for him to make a decision.

Those who supported the prince's faction watched coldly, and they also wished for bad luck.

Because only if Jing Rong is unlucky, they can have a bright future, and the prince can see them!
The prince looked at Jing Rong, implying that he should distinguish himself.

Jing Rong turned sideways to face the faction of the Fifth Prince. "Does anyone know how much Baiweizhai earned in January?"

An official hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said to the prince: "Xiaguan greedy once went to Baiweizhai for a lunch, which cost more than [-] taels of silver. So far, I dare not set foot again." The meal cost him a dollar. Monthly salary!
But he was so happy to eat...he still wants to go!
But it is too expensive!He can't afford...!
The prince nodded and said: "The prince has also been to Baiweizhai. After using it, people can't stop thinking about it day and night. It is no exaggeration to make money every day." He looked at the fifth prince with pensive eyes. "Father also wanted the chef of Baiweizhai to enter the palace to take charge of the imperial dining room. The other party liked freedom and didn't want to enter the palace. Father loved his name like a son and let him do as he pleases."

The actual situation is that the other party is only willing to enter the palace occasionally to make some food for the emperor and the queen mother alone, and even the queen is not qualified to enjoy it.

The fifth prince noticed the prince's gaze, raised his head and looked at him, then turned his head to look at Jing Rong. "Could it be that Baiweizhai is an industry under your name?"

Jing Rong nodded slightly. "The son inherits the father's business."

Foodies among some officials immediately looked at Jing Rong with green eyes.

Baiweizhai turned out to be an industry under his name, so can they make it cheaper for him to eat in the future? !

Jing Rong ignored the wolf-like eyes of some people and continued: "In addition to Baiweizhai, I usually do some small business going out to sea." His cold and indifferent eyes swept over the Fifth Prince, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, the gadgets that the Fifth Prince used to please the Empress Dowager and the ladies in the harem were brought back from overseas by me."

This remark shocked everyone!
Contemptuous eyes fell on the fifth prince.

Because the fifth prince often took out some strange things that others didn't have to please the emperor and queen mother.

I heard that a clear mirror made the queen mother become a treasure, and later rewarded it to the queen, which made the ladies in the harem go crazy with jealousy.

At that time, everyone thought that it was a rare item that the fifth prince bought from Baibao Pavilion, and they all envied and hated it.

It turned out that he took Jingrong's things as his own, so he was rewarded for taking credit!
But these years, Jing Rong has never revealed the slightest word of mouth!
Even if she fell out with the fifth prince, she never mentioned this matter.

If it wasn't for the fact that the fifth prince in the imperial court deliberately targeted Jing Rong today, I'm afraid this matter would continue to be kept secret!

The fifth prince is really in a cocoon, reaping the consequences of himself!

Fifth Prince: "..." Framed Jing Rong failed, but was exposed for his scandal!
The prince's slightly surprised eyes wandered back and forth between Jing Rong and the fifth prince.

Jing Rong used to be so loyal to the fifth emperor brother, it was not counted to give advice, and he even spent all his money to help him.

Such a heartfelt person, Fifth Brother, was lost, and now he turned to help him.

Lo and behold, the face of the Fifth Emperor's brother Qi has changed.

He deliberately coughed twice, making the noisy hall instantly quiet. "Who else hasn't donated? Go ahead."

After waiting for a few breaths, no one stood up.

The prince announced on the spot: "In that case, Jing Rong will get the blue and white cloud and dragon pattern bottle. Does anyone have any objections?" His eyes deliberately fell on the fifth prince.

Everyone: 2 taels can't be spent by ordinary people in a few lifetimes!Who would object to a useless bottle that can't be eaten, can't be used, and can only be seen? !
