Chapter 784: Chapter 298 Willing to Offer a Million Silver, Just Begging His Highness to Accept My Daughter [10,000 Words]_5
————
“Your Highness, that’s a million taels of patterned silver there, and that young lady is really pretty, I even slled the fragrance on her.”
Xiao Cui, following behind Mu Rufeng, suddenly spoke.
“You silly girl, always worrying about things that don’t concern you. Do you not know that the hardest favor to repay is that of a beauty’s, not to ntion paired with a million taels of patterned silver?” Mu Rufeng spoke.
“Ah? Could there be so sort of conspiracy?” Xiao Cui exclaid in shock.
Xiao Cui had been chard by Ruo Liu, and with the addition of a million taels of patterned silver, she couldn’t understand why Mu Rufeng wouldn’t accept it.
After all, the Ninth Prince was bound to have many wives and concubines in the future, she wouldn’t mind him taking a pretty young lady; in fact, she would be rather happy.
Because the Ninth Prince was already 24 this year, but he had yet to marry, nor had he taken any concubines or sought the company of courtesans, not even possessing a confidante.
In the eyes of so, this ant either he was fond of the company of n or had issues in that regard.
Mu Rufeng was not in a hurry, though his servants, especially the old steward, Zhang Chun, certainly were.
“Of course, there’s a conspiracy, your little brain surely can’t figure it out, quickly go prepare so spiritual food for , I’m hungry.”
“And, help yourselves to so as well,” Mu Rufeng added.
“Oh, right away, Your Highness.” Xiao Cui instantly bounced away.
“Don’t all follow , go get sothing to eat. When Liu Ming and Xiao Guizi return, have them co to see imdiately,” Mu Rufeng commanded.
“Yes, Your Highness,” the crowd responded in unison.
Following that, Mu Rufeng entered his own room.
“The matter of providing relief is settled, next, I need to prepare a gift for the Empress Dowager,” Mu Rufeng sat at his desk, stroking his chin as he pondered.
This ti, it was the Empress Dowager’s 80th birthday, a celebration throughout the entire sky, and the banquet was being prepared on a grand scale.
On Heavenly Dao Continent, all figures of importance would co, and even the Western Regions Demon Clan, with whom there were often friction and battles, would send representatives to attend the banquet.
Giving gifts, the more precious the better, might not concern the Empress Dowager, after all, what rare treasures hadn’t she seen with her noble status?
But if you gave a poor gift, she would certainly rember you.
Initially, the Ninth Prince had already prepared a gift, but unfortunately, it, along with his storage ring, was lost in the borderlands.
Now, he had only a re five days until the banquet, and he needed to quickly prepare a proper gift.
Using money to buy it was certainly not acceptable; it had to be sothing special.
Then Mu Rufeng began to search through his item slot.
Many things in his item slot were sealed, but there were still parts that were not.
Searching back and forth, after much deliberation, Mu Rufeng finally took sothing out.
This was not an ordinary item, but a Spiritual Object.
[Purity Spiritual Fruit]: A Heaven and Earth Strange Object, effective only after consuming a single fruit.
Effect: A Level 5 Spiritual Item, consumption can rejuvenate and maintain youthful vigor, only effective for those at Level 4 and below who are over seventy years of age.
This was rely a Level 5 Spiritual Item, purchased from Treasure Tower, and although it could rejuvenate and maintain youth, it did not prolong life.
Nor did it enhance physical health, whenever death was fated, that would be the ti of death.
The restrictions were significant, and it was extrely rare. There were only five of these in the Treasure Tower, and Mu Rufeng bought them all.
He thought of using them for his parents and grandparents when they reached over seventy, and kept one for himself when turning seventy.
Now, offering one to the Empress Dowager would be perfect.
The Empress Dowager was eighty this year, and though she had taken good care of herself and had so cultivation, it was not much, and her age was already showing.
Any woman would long for eternal youth, especially an eighty-year-old granny.
The Empress Dowager, being the biological mother of the current Emperor, also had considerable influence in the harem, and even the Emperor sotis had to listen to her.
The Emperor himself was not that old, just fifty years old.
Which is to say, the Empress Dowager gave birth to the Emperor at the age of thirty.
The Emperor was not the first child of the Empress Dowager, but the third, and all of them were princes.
Mu Rufeng did not know why the youngest prince beca the Emperor.
But Mu Rufeng knew that the Emperor was extrely respectful and filial to his biological mother, that is, the Empress Dowager.
Pleasing the Empress Dowager was a great help to rising to power.
Look at the eldest prince, who had been living in the Eastern Palace acting as regent for three months, and he insisted on visiting the Empress and the Empress Dowager to pay his respects every day.
He hadn’t even done as much for his own mother.
Mu Rufeng figured that the Empress Dowager would be extrely pleased with the gift he was giving.
“It needs to be placed in a rather pretty and precious box though,” Mu Rufeng murmured.
“Hong Lian.” Mu Rufeng called out towards the door.
“Your Highness, this servant is here, what do you need?” The voice of Hong Lian ca from outside the door.
Sure enough, even though Mu Rufeng had dismissed them to eat, Hong Lian would ask Qing Ya to go first, while she stood watch outside.
“Co in and talk.”
“Your Highness,” Hong Lian imdiately pushed open the door and entered.
“Please prepare a pretty and valuable gift box for . I need to place a fruit inside it as a birthday gift for the Empress Dowager,” Mu Rufeng instructed.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Hong Lian imdiately replied.
“By the way, how much silver is left in the mansion for expenditures?” Mu Rufeng asked.
“Your Highness, there’s approximately ten thousand taels left. Soon it’ll be the next month, and the court will distribute the monthly allowance then,” Hong Lian inford.
