Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xue Wenyu suddenly felt the muscles in his temple twitch, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub them.

"Did you drink too much and have a headache?" Mu Yingbao asked in a low voice.

Xue Wenyu looked at her, smiled and shook his head.

Brother Hui was deeply influenced by her, it has penetrated into his bones!

Therefore, when he had just ascended the throne and the treasury was empty, he ignored the advice of those ministers and really acted according to the results of his discussion with her.

The key point is that those ministers could only watch helplessly as the new monarch "acted recklessly".

Moreover, such a "stunning" start seems to have a good effect.

In the afternoon, he received news from outside the palace that those ministers who donated lower amounts of silver had changed their minds after going back to discuss and decided to increase the amount.

Some ministers, who really did not have that much money, actually started selling their shops and properties.

Xue Wenyu didn't believe that they did this out of loyalty to Brother Hui. He clearly felt that this might be a good opportunity to get promoted, so who would be willing to miss it?

Moreover, Brother Hui also said in the court that he would reward him.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing. At least Brother Hui's ascension to the throne was smooth.

However, Xue Wenyu always felt uneasy.

This is just the beginning, and the affairs of the court are inseparable from her. What about the future? Thinking of this, Xue Wenyu looked at Brother Hui next to him. The child was concentrating on eating roasted chicken hearts. He looked at Mu Yingbao here again. After caring about him, she also focused on the mutton skewers in her hand. The little mouth opened, and the silver teeth bit a piece of meat into her mouth, and she ate it so deliciously. Xue Wenyu saw that there was something stuck at the corner of her mouth. She said it was something called cumin. He wanted to reach out to help her wipe it off, but looking at the people at the table, he hesitated; "There is something at the corner of your mouth." He reminded in a low voice, and his hand was about to touch the handkerchief.

Mu Yingbao smiled and didn't use her hands at all. Instead, she stretched out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth. The pink little tongue stuck to the cumin and quickly retracted it to continue eating Shen'er!

If this had happened in the past, Xue Wenyu would have thought a woman was vulgar if he saw her like this.

But now, in his eyes, he only felt that she was playful and extremely cute.

Perhaps, after she has her own child in the future, she won't have as much energy as she does now to take care of everything.

By then, Brother Hui would be older, his ideas would be more mature, and he would be more stable. He would also know who to consult and decide on certain matters.

Xue Wenyu felt that the reason why Brother Hui came to discuss things with her instead of his own grandfather or others was perhaps because he did not trust them enough.

After all, Brother Hui has been with her through thick and thin for more than three years, and she is the one whom the child can rely on for peace of mind.

Xue Wenyu even felt that in the child's heart, in terms of prestige, he was probably not as high as her.

There is actually no need to doubt this.

The child has been with him for more than six years, but with her for more than three years. On the surface, the child treats him the same as she does, but based on the time they spend together, the result can be seen.

"Hey, what are you thinking about now?" After Mu Yingbao finished a few more skewers of mutton, he saw that the person next to him was distracted, so he touched his leg with his leg.

What on earth is this guy worried about? He has been distracted several times while eating.

Xue Wenyu looked at her when he heard that, thinking, what are you thinking, isn't it just what to do with you two?

Are we really going to let you two mess around?

Although this nonsense made sense and had a good effect, he really couldn't imagine what would happen to the court and the entire Yan State if it continued for a long time.

"It's okay. I was just wondering what to do if I become addicted to it." He had no choice but to make it up.

When Mu Yingbao heard this, she smiled and said nonchalantly, "What can we do if there is something wrong? We can get together every few days. Look how lively, harmonious and warm it is when we are united as one."

"Yingbao girl, can you really eat like this once in a while?" Old Man Shang asked immediately.

In fact, it’s not that he has particularly sharp ears, but that other people are too embarrassed to ask.

Shang Xiaohu wanted to ask, but because he had a piece of braised pork in his mouth, his grandfather beat him to the question.

"Of course, we don't need to worry about others saying we are extravagant or something. I've seen the accounts. The silver the former emperor spent on a single meal is enough for three tables of people to eat out dozens of times." Mu Yingbao became angry when she said this.

Brother Hui brought the account book back for her to see on purpose, and both mother and daughter were very angry.

How did the treasury become empty? Was it all embezzled by the civil and military officials?

In fact, what the emperor destroyed was even more horrifying.

In addition, the eunuchs working in the palace also used their power to do various things.

For example, the stewed duck that the emperor ate.

A duck only costs a few dozen coins, and with nourishing herbs and side dishes, the total cost of the dish is only one or two taels of silver at most.

But the account book shows 360 taels! What does this mean? How many ducks can you buy with 360 taels?

Brother Hui told Mu Yingbao that he had asked the palace's housekeeper, who said that the duck had to be fed with precious nourishing herbs as soon as it came out of the eggshell, so it was expensive.

This statement may fool the emperor who grew up in a luxurious house, but it is impossible to fool Mu Yingbao.

As soon as they hatch and come out of the eggshell, they start feeding them precious tonic herbs? Do you think ducks don’t have noses and can’t stop nosebleeds? Ducks don’t have noses, but they do have nostrils, which are located on both sides of their beaks.

If you want the duck to be delicious, it is best to raise it in the countryside, especially near the water. Ducks eat fish in the water and all kinds of grass. They actually made up such a lie, just to fool the one on the throne. In the same way, the fish that the emperor eats are also dozens of taels of silver. It is said that the fish are specially transported back from the mountain spring outside the capital every day. It takes a long time for the imperial kitchen to make it. Mu Yingbao looked at the menu of the previous emperor, which was something like mushroom fat chicken, three fresh swans, etc.

Roe deer, shredded chicken, stewed meat, stewed tomato, stewed meat with cabbage, yellow mutton, stewed mutton with spinach and tofu, cherry meat and yam, etc.

When the emperor had a meal, seventy or eighty people were busy in the imperial kitchen, and dozens of dishes were served on the table. The emperor only ate a few of each dish.

In this case, the cost of his meal is really scary.

We have to eat every day, and if you do the math throughout the year, the expenses are terrifying.

What's more, there are the queen, the queen mother, concubines, princes and princesses in the palace.

Even if the food in the harem is not as exquisite as that of the emperor, it is just slightly inferior.

Officials outside are corrupt, and there are corrupt officials inside the palace. The extravagance and waste of the royal family is all exploited from the people!

Mu Yingbao's words made Fan Puchang and the others look at each other in bewilderment. They knew that the expenses of the royal family in the palace were very high, but no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Because he is the emperor, the ruler of a country. The whole country belongs to his royal family, so it is natural for him to enjoy the best.

The reason why the new emperor didn't do that was because he had just ascended the throne and the treasury was empty, right?

So what did she mean by that just now?

The Shang family, grandparents, Fan Puchang, Luo Yi and others all looked at Xue Wenyu...
