My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 40: The wish has come true, no need to pray

Zhou Lang was sitting in the study of the East Palace at this time, wanting to cry but having no tears. The girls in the portraits were as beautiful as fairies, but once the masks were removed, they were ugly monsters, the reincarnation of the sea-seeking Yaksha. Zhou Lang just wanted to cry for his parents.

But the most outrageous ones are these "Liu Honglan, the adopted son of Liu Qianfuzhang of Mingbeiying, 18 years old." The man took off his mask, and he looked handsome and androgynous, with a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, clear phoenix eyes, a not-so-high nose bridge, and very weak lips.

Zhou Lang's pupils suddenly shrank after seeing this, and then he turned his head stiffly to look at Eunuch Chen, "A man?"

Eunuch Chen slightly raised his head to signal Eunuch Wang to continue reading. Eunuch Wang nodded and slowly spoke, "Mingbei Camp, the second son of General Zhong, the half-brother of General Zhenbei, Zhong Qi, is a young man."

The man took off his mask and looked hopeless. Zhou Lang suddenly realized that no wonder the woman was the tallest among them. He was also a man. He had thick sword-like eyebrows, narrow single phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips with slightly downward corners. It can be said that he looked no different from Zhong Su, but for some reason he was more handsome than Zhong Su. He was wearing a Luo skirt at this time, which made Zhou Lang want to vomit.

Zhou Lang raised his hand to his forehead and said in a low voice, "Who asked you to come?"

Zhong Qi sneered helplessly, and his tone was extremely lazy. "To answer your Highness, my elder brother and my father..."

Zhou Lang sighed heavily, and Mr. Chen coughed dryly, "If Your Highness doesn't like this young man, there is another young man with a rough appearance."

Zhou Lang waved his hands repeatedly, "I won't watch it anymore, I won't watch it anymore. If you keep watching..." At this point, Zhou Lang sent a message to Eunuch Chen, "If you keep watching, you will vomit the overnight meal. How can a man wear a long skirt? I was wrong! I shouldn't have said that His Highness was a homosexual. I didn't expect the generals of Mingbei Camp to take it to heart."

Mr. Chen nodded and said, "All three gentlemen, please go down. It seems that His Highness does not like men." He looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Minister of Rites, you should know when to amass wealth. These girls have given you a lot of money, right?"

The Minister of Rites knelt down immediately and said, "How dare I!"

Zhou Lang imitated Zhao Jinghua's tone and said, "Does the Minister of Rites think that Gu Xi is like this?"

After hearing this, the Minister of Rites broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed repeatedly, "I thought you were just going through the motions, so I was blinded by the money. Please forgive me."

Eunuch Chen sighed and said in a low voice, "Minister of Rites, you are deceiving the emperor. If His Majesty knew about this, you would lose your head!"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites knocked his head on the ground and said, "I know I was wrong! I will never do it again! Please forgive me this time."

At this time, Zhao Jinghua and Wan Sutong held up a Kongming lantern together by the river. After a while, they released the Kongming lantern. Wan Sutong quickly put her hands together and began to make a wish. Zhao Jinghua stared at Wan Sutong without blinking. After a while, Wan Sutong opened her eyes and asked, "Zhao Lang, did you make a wish?"

Zhao Jinghua shook his head slightly, his eyes full of pampering, "My wish has come true, no need to pray."

After hearing this, Wan Sutong covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, "Is it because I sit in that position?" Zhao Jinghua hugged Wan Sutong from behind and said indifferently, "I can't sit in that position. I know my father's temper. Although he doesn't care about what others say, he remembers it in his heart. One day..." At this point, Zhao Jinghua sneered and said nothing more

Wan Sutong frowned and looked up at Zhao Jinghua behind him, "It will be the fuse, right?

Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "Yes, if that day comes, I will take you on a journey around the world."

After hearing this, Wan Sutong turned around quickly with eyes full of longing, "Really?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded, raised his hand and smoothed the hair on Wan Sutong's mask behind her ears. "It's getting late. I'll take you back home."

At the same time, Eunuch Chen sent a message to Zhou Lang, "After Eunuch Wang finishes asking questions, you can tell me that I am tired. I believe the Minister of Rites does not want to bring this matter to the court, right? Come to see me tomorrow morning."

Zhou Lang asked doubtfully, "I'm a little afraid. What if I stutter? Can I not say it?"

Eunuch Chen shook his head and advised Zhou Lang earnestly, "Be obedient, child. Don't be afraid. Our family and Eunuch Wang cannot handle this matter on our own. We need to wait for His Highness to come back."

Zhou Lang's voice was filled with sadness and helplessness. "Okay," Eunuch Chen almost sneered when he heard it.

At this time, Eunuch Wang raised his orchid finger and pointed outside the study. "Just now, my family and Manager Chen gave you face and didn't say anything. Now, tell us what the three young masters think! If this gets out, how will others view Your Highness! I think you are tired of living!"

The Minister of Rites kowtowed repeatedly and said, "The three generals of the Mingbei Camp asked me to send it! It has nothing to do with me!"

Eunuch Chen shook his head and said, "You sent it to the palace just because the three generals asked you to? You are really stupid."

Zhou Lang sighed upon seeing this, "I am so sorry. I am sure the Minister of Rites does not want to bring this matter to the court, right? Come to see me at the court tomorrow morning!"

The Minister of Rites quickly bowed and said, "Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will take my leave." After saying this, he hurriedly left.

After the Minister of Rites left, Zhou Lang quickly spoke in his own voice, "Is what I said correct? Is the voice correct too? Did I not embarrass His Highness?" These three questions made Eunuch Chen finally burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, you are so likable that I can't help but laugh."

Zhou Lang felt a chill when he heard the laughter. "Is... is that so?"

Seeing this, Eunuch Wang stepped forward and patted Zhou Lang on the shoulder, "Good job, kid."

Zhou Lang sighed with relief, "That's good."

After a moment, Zhou Lang hurriedly looked at Eunuch Chen who had not yet stopped laughing. "Why are Eunuch Chen and the others all wearing pear yellow? Even General Zhong's brother..." At this point, Zhou Lang hesitated and then showed an extremely painful expression. "I... want to vomit."

After seeing this, Mr. Chen laughed again. "That's because many years ago, the Second Princess always pestered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wherever His Royal Highness went, the Second Princess followed. Because the Second Princess liked to wear pear yellow, the people thought that His Royal Highness also liked pear yellow. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Now the whole Zhao Kingdom knows about it."

Zhou Lang nodded. "Then the young lady from the official family that Your Highness the Crown Prince met last time also looked like this?"

Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know. You have to ask my son." Then he looked at Mr. Wang.

Zhou Lang turned to look at Eunuch Wang and asked, "Is that true?"

The prince sighed and shook his head at the same time. "Last time, the ladies from official families who came to the Qiqiao Festival were all beautiful, gentle and generous, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only took one look at them and gave them all golden hairpins."

Zhou Lang couldn't help but worry for the Minister of Rites when he heard this. "Does he think my master won't look carefully?"

The two fathers-in-law laughed and said, "Maybe."

Zhou Lang closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and shook his head. "I don't know what General Zhong is thinking. Whenever I close my eyes, I can't help but imagine General Zhong wearing a long skirt. Could it be that he is really counting on his brother to fight for his position as the emperor's uncle?"

At the same time, Zhong Su, who had just arrived in Hanjiang City, sneezed, "A-choo! Who missed me? Could it be that my brother was really chosen?"

The Minister of Revenue burst into laughter after hearing this, "Hahahaha! General Zhong, you are such a talent! Send your brother to the palace. I remember that your brother looks very similar to you!"

Zhong Su scratched his head awkwardly. "My brother is much more handsome than me, but not as tall as Your Highness. If my brother is really chosen, I'm afraid he will be at a disadvantage."

The Minister of Revenue raised his hand to interrupt him, "General Zhong, stop! What you said is absolutely impossible! You... at this late hour..." At this point, the Minister of Revenue sighed, "That's right, if you don't dream at night, how can you dream during the day?"
