The covert guard coughed, his shoulder shook slightly, and then he slowly said, "The Eldest Princess made a little fortune today!"
The Emperor was puzzled.
"Isn’t the largest silver building in our capital owned by Sun Daifu’s family?
Last year, the Eighth Young Master secretly set up a ssage relay point there. Before dawn today, Sun Daifu took the Eldest Princess to the Silver Building, saying he wanted to give the Eldest Princess a small gold figurine as a eting gift to play with."
The Emperor chuckled, "A small gold figurine is nothing significant to her in terms of wealth!"
That little girl in Yang City has a whole street of dowry shops; she’s a true little rich lady now, even wealthier than , the Emperor.
"No, Your Majesty, what the Eldest Princess took from the Silver Building wasn’t an ordinary small gold figurine."
"?"
The Emperor gave him another puzzled look.
"Cough, cough! To showcase the quality of their gold and silver jewelry, the Sun family created two child-sized figurines out of pure gold and pure silver and placed them in the Hall of the Silver Building."
"Hmm! You don’t an to say Suisui took the gold figurine that’s as tall as a child?"
A series of numbers flashed in the Emperor’s mind, oh heavens, how much money would that be?
This little girl, how could she carry sothing so heavy?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Emperor’s mood improved, and he waved his hand with a smile, indicating for the person to leave, but the person did not leave and instead continued, sowhat anxiously.
"Your Majesty! It’s not that simple!"
The Emperor rubbed his brow in irritation.
"If you have sothing to say, say it all at once!"
"You may not know, but that little golden figurine has more to it."
"?"
"The inside of that little gold figurine is hollow, with a secret compartnt. Our ssage relay is hidden inside it, and soone just placed a ssage there last night. I haven’t had the chance to retrieve it yet!"
Emperor: "..."
What a bunch of useless eaters.
"Is that ssage important?"
After a long ti, the Emperor asked, rubbing his brow.
"It’s the inspection results of officials from all over the country, along with a list of so corrupt officials."
Emperor: "..."
Headache, my beloved daughter has brought big trouble.
"Dismiss! Keep an eye on the Eldest Princess, send word to Nanny Zhang and the others, and find a way to retrieve what’s inside the little gold figurine!"
The covert guard nodded and left.
At Ji Mansion, Xiaosui was quite delighted, hugged the little gold figurine, and returned to Qinxin Garden, even placing it on her bed as if it were real, letting it accompany her as she slept!
Nanny Zhang and Yunxiang brought water for her to wash up and took the chance to wash the little gold figurine along with her.
They intended for her to eat sothing before sleeping, but the little girl fell asleep as soon as she lay down, so Nanny Zhang decided to let it go and instructed Yunxiang to keep the small stove ready to heat food, for when the Eldest Princess wakes up to eat.
Nanny Zhang herself went to see Madam Ji, as Xiaosui hadn’t returned all night, and Madam Ji had been worried. Now that she’s back, she needed to report her return.
On arrival, Madam Ji was sorting through nas.
"You’re just in ti. Help look at these lists. You’ve been in the capital for years, you must be familiar with the noble girls in the capital."
Nanny Zhang blinked and then realized that Madam Ji was probably arranging marriages for the four unmarried young masters.
"The noble girls of the capital are all brought up by well-established clans with years of tradition. One can easily inquire about their character.
There’s no need to worry about their talent!"
After Nanny Zhang finished speaking, she looked through the list with her.
"Has Suisui returned?"
"Yes, although it’s unsure where the Seventh Young Master took her last night, she ca back with a child-sized gold figurine. She was overjoyed, holding it as she slept."
"Oh! How co she brought back a gold figurine?
Could it be that her third uncle bought it for her?"
Among our children, the third one is wealthy enough to compete with the nation.
Despite losing so money during the recent natural disaster with Yunhang, it’s said he managed to earn it back shortly after and filled the gap.
"That I don’t know." Nanny Zhang looked at the nas of the noble young ladies, spotting the na Xiao Ning’Er!
"Oh, isn’t this Miss Xiao Ning’Er from the Duke’s Mansion?
Her mother and she caused quite a ruckus in the mansion a few days ago, so how co..."
"I won’t hide it from you; these aren’t personally picked by . These are all nas brought by the matchmaker recently. They say the matchmaker only ca to our mansion because the girls spoke to her first, hoping to establish a connection."
