A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Seeing that the emperor closed his eyes as if he was resting, Xia Taoyuan did not dare to say anything. She just wanted Eunuch Liu to show up soon so that she could take the reward and leave.

Just when I was feeling bored, I heard Emperor Ying say, "If you feel bored, go out for a walk."

Xia Taoyuan was as if pardoned, and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She walked out of the imperial study and saw her brother standing against the wall, staring at the sky in a daze. Xia Taoyuan tiptoed forward and waved her hand in front of Wei Jinghe, grinning, "Do you miss Qing'er?"

Wei Jinghe's face turned red, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Wei Zhiying, you're itching, right?"

Xia Taoyuan teased, "What's the use of just thinking about it? Qing'er doesn't know. You have to go and tell her. Only then will she know your feelings."

Seeing Wei Jinghe didn't say anything, Xia Taoyuan pushed him and said, "If you don't say anything, I'll tell you later!"

Wei Jinghe asked her to just take care of herself and Prince Jing.

While the brother and sister were laughing and joking, Eunuch Liu arrived, followed by two young eunuchs, each holding a tray.

"Eunuch Liu." Wei Jinghe and Xia Taoyuan shouted at the same time.

Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "Miss Wei, can you please spare a moment to talk to me?" Then he walked a few meters away. Xia Taoyuan was a little puzzled and looked at Wei Jinghe, who motioned for her to follow him.

Xia Taoyuan followed him and said with a smile, "Eunuch Liu, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Eunuch Liu looked at Xia Taoyuan, sighed, and said, "Prince Jing's engagement to you has relieved the emperor of a worry. I can also see that the emperor is very satisfied with Miss Wei. The emperor hasn't been as happy as he is today for a long time. Miss Wei, thank you." As he said this, Eunuch Liu was about to salute Xia Taoyuan.

Xia Taoyuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop Eunuch Liu and said, "Eunuch Liu, no, Zhiying can't bear it."

Eunuch Liu stood firm, his eyes were red. Xia Taoyuan could see that Eunuch Liu was truly grateful, and it also showed that the emperor hadn't smiled sincerely for a long time.

But then Eunuch Liu said, "I have been in the palace since I was a child. I have served the emperor since I was a child. At that time, the emperor was still the King of Qin. It has been more than 40 years now. I just hope that the emperor will not be too tired and worry too much, and can have more happy things. It was I who suggested that the engagement banquet of the two princes be held in the palace."

Xia Taoyuan was somewhat moved. The relationship between Eunuch Liu and the Emperor was no longer that of a monarch and his subjects. After more than 40 years of companionship, they should have been like family members in their hearts. Perhaps only Eunuch Liu sincerely hoped that the Emperor would be well. Eunuch Liu suggested holding the engagement banquet in the palace to make the Emperor happy.

Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu is really thoughtful. It will be a lively day, and the emperor will be very happy."

Eunuch Liu took a look at Xia Taoyuan and thought: This girl is not only smart but also considerate. Prince Jing is so lucky.

"Miss Wei, please come in!" Eunuch Liu said, extending his hand.

Xia Taoyuan and Eunuch Liu returned to the imperial study one after another.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu called softly.

Emperor Ying opened his eyes, saw the two of them, and smiled, "Are you back?"

Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "I'm back."

Eunuch Liu said, "Your Majesty, I think Young Master Wei has been waiting outside for a long time. Why don't we let Miss Wei and Young Master Wei go back?"

Emperor Ying deliberately frowned and said, "Why? I still want to keep my future daughter-in-law for dinner, why are you so anxious to send her away?"

"Your Majesty, I see that you are too tired. I want you to go back to your room to rest and have dinner with Miss Wei. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Eunuch Liu said.

Xia Taoyuan also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, what Eunuch Liu said is right. You deal with so many things every day. It's too hard. If you feel tired, go and rest. The most important thing for you is to take care of your health. Your health is a blessing for the North Yue Kingdom."

Emperor Ying stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This girl is still good at talking."

Eunuch Liu said, "This girl is good at talking. Listen to her more in the future."

"Good, good, good." Emperor Ying said "good" three times in a row.

Eunuch Liu glanced at Xia Taoyuan, who immediately understood and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now. You must listen to Eunuch Liu and get more rest."

"Haha, that's what I hear. Go ahead!" Emperor Ying waved his hand.

When Xia Taoyuan left the imperial study, Eunuch Liu followed her out and escorted her to the palace gate. He gave Xia Taoyuan the emperor's reward. With the mentality that money makes the world go round, Xia Taoyuan pulled Eunuch Liu to a deserted place and took out two pieces of gold, which is 20 taels, to give to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu refused to take it, saying that he had everything he needed in the palace. But Xia Taoyuan insisted on giving it to Eunuch Liu, saying that she wanted to buy him some tea.

Eunuch Liu couldn't refuse and had to accept it. He was close to the emperor and never lacked money. But it was the first time he had seen someone as generous as Xia Taoyuan. He gave twenty taels of gold, which really made Eunuch Liu flattered. After all, the right prime minister Mu Huairen asked him to say a few good words in front of the emperor, and he only gave him ten taels of gold, which was already the ceiling.

It is said that giving money to others can help to avoid disasters. Miss Wei gave Eunuch Liu twenty taels of gold without letting him do anything. Eunuch Liu liked Xia Taoyuan even more.

Xia Taoyuan and Wei Jinghe returned to the mansion in a carriage. Xia Taoyuan asked Wei Jinghe to put the remaining 80 taels of gold in the treasury for emergency use. Wei Jinghe refused and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that my sister has such a thought. Our mansion is not short of money and we have a lot of assets. You can keep this money for yourself."

Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you often go out. Is it to take care of the family business? What kind of business is it?"

Wei Jinghe smiled and said, "Yes, we have several shops at home, but none of them are in Yunjun City. They are all in the prefectures surrounding Yunjun. There are two silk shops, three tea shops, two restaurants, a jewelry shop and some fields."

Xia Taoyuan stuck out her tongue and said admiringly, "Brother, you are a business genius. You run so many shops. Why don't you open one in Yunjun City?"

Wei Jinghe smiled helplessly and said, "Except for the businesses of several princes, many shops in Yunjun City are monopolized by Mu Huairen. Our Wei family also had a few shops in Yunjun City, but they were all squeezed out by the Mu family."

Xia Taoyuan also knew that the business world was like a battlefield, where one had to use any means necessary, but deep down she didn't have a good impression of Mu Huairen, so she comforted Wei Jinghe with a few words.
