The emperor had difficulty falling asleep.

However, the emperor's cultivation is much better now than before. Although the emperor was not sleepy, he was already lying on the dragon bed after all. So after the emperor arrived at the emperor's bedroom, he let the emperor fall into a deep sleep.

As soon as the emperor fell into the dream, the emperor emeritus suddenly appeared.

Maybe it was because he had been in dreams too many times, so even though he was in a dream now, the emperor still had some memories of the past.

As soon as he saw the emperor, he blurted out, "Father, why are you here again?"

When the emperor heard his words, his face darkened and his tone became stern.

"Unfilial son, what are you talking about? Are you really that unwilling to see me? Or is it that I'm dead now and can't control you anymore, so you don't take me seriously anymore?"

Hearing the retired emperor's harsh questioning and seeing his angry expression, the emperor inevitably felt a little bit of fear.

"Father, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to dream about you."

"What do you want me to do? I will do whatever I can."

The Emperor's expression softened after he said this. He put his hands behind his waist, looked at the Emperor, and asked, "Do you know what day tomorrow is?"

What day is tomorrow?

After all, he was still in a dream, and the emperor was confused and couldn't remember anything for a moment.

Whenever I dream, I always feel like I am still the prince before I ascended the throne.

He asked in confusion, "Father, what day is tomorrow? Is it your birthday, or Empress Long's birthday?"

The emperor didn't know why he suddenly thought of Concubine Long in his dream. Maybe it was because Concubine Long's birthday used to be the most important day in the palace.

The emperor's words immediately confused the emperor.

The retired emperor did not expect that the emperor would mention Concubine Long's birthday.

His tone softened, he shook his head and said, "No, Long'er has passed away. Have you forgotten?"

The emperor's consciousness was brought back to reality. He suddenly said, "Oh, right, tomorrow is Ayue's wedding day!"

"Just remember, did you affix the imperial seal to their marriage certificate? Don't let anyone tamper with it. If this wedding isn't a success, I'll hold you accountable."

The Emperor quickly said, "Father, how could this be possible? I have always kept Ayue's wedding in mind, and I have asked the Ministry of Rites to do their utmost to assist the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Anyone who dares to tamper with this matter will not be forgiven by me. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

After the emperor said this, he felt a little sad. His father had appeared in his dreams many times regarding Ayue's affairs. In the past, when his father was still alive, he had never paid so much attention to his affairs.

"Since there is no problem with the marriage certificate, what about the other matter?" the emperor asked again.

The emperor was stunned for a moment. "Is there anything else?" he asked tentatively.

The Emperor glared at him and said, "As for the gifts, you are the Emperor and the eldest brother. You can't be stingy with the gifts you prepare for Ayue and the others!"

"Not just you. As Ayue's brother, you should also check with the others to see if they have carefully prepared gifts!"

"For example, you, the Shufei, and the Yufei who was just promoted to the rank of concubine. Oh, and you should also remind your mother."

The emperor was speechless for a long time.

He is even more sad now.

Isn't this too outrageous? Just for such a small matter, his father came to him in a dream again?

"Father, I have a question for you." The Emperor finally found his voice. "I keep dreaming about you. Is this harmful to my body and mind?"

He wanted to cry.

The emperor immediately said in a deep voice, "What are you thinking about?!"

"Of course not! Did I hit you? Or did I keep you awake for too long? You're talking as if you wouldn't dream if I didn't dream for you."

He had had those embarrassing dreams a lot when he was young, right? Why didn't he ask whether they were harmful to his body and mind back then?

Now he is treated like a pest.

"Anyway, remember, Ayue is pitiful. His father and mother are both dead, and he doesn't have any maternal relatives to help him. He's not like you, an emperor with three harems and six courtyards, and you don't know how many times you've married a queen. He only married this one princess. This is a major event in his life, and you have to help him make it a grand occasion."

"Also, I heard that the Prince of Jin's Mansion spent a lot of money on this marriage. Ayue is already poor, and we can't empty the Prince of Jin's family's funds just for a big wedding."

How can Master Ling live a good life in the future?

"So, you can do whatever you want. Go and tell those people in the palace to give less gifts that are just for show but not for use."

"As the emperor's brother, it would be best if you could give him some allowance."

The Emperor Emeritus glanced at the Emperor and said, "That's it. Once you've dealt with this matter, I won't come to you often. It's not easy to come to you in dreams either."

The next morning.

The emperor suddenly woke up. After sitting up, the memory of his dream was still clear.

"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Tan heard the noise and approached the dragon bed. "Are you awake?"

"Xiao Tanzi, have the gifts I prepared for Prince Jin been sent out of the palace?" asked the emperor.

Eunuch Qin didn't know why he asked about this right after waking up, but he still replied in a low voice, "She hasn't been sent out of the palace yet."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said reluctantly, "Then add another ten thousand taels of silver."

When Eunuch Qin heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Actually, the gift the Emperor prepared for Prince Jin wasn't too light. Although it wasn't substantial, Prince Jin had dug up silver many times before, and the Emperor's private treasury was indeed a bit thinner now."

When preparing the gift a few days ago, he also asked the emperor whether he needed to add some more silver. After all, real money might make Prince Jin happier.

But at the time, the emperor was still angry and said, "Giving him these ornaments is already very good, why give him real gold and silver? My money is not blown by the wind!"

I don’t know why, but when the emperor woke up, he changed his mind.

Eunuch Qin repeated it and asked, "Your Majesty, are you adding 10,000 taels of silver?"

The emperor rubbed his forehead a little tiredly and said, "Yes, go ahead."

"According to the order."

"Also, give the order and make preparations. Tomorrow I will go to Prince Jin's Mansion with Concubine Shu and Concubine Yu to celebrate Prince Jin's wedding." The emperor said again.

Eunuch Qin was very surprised.

Last night, the emperor said he would not attend Prince Jin's wedding banquet.

Eunuch Qin knew that the emperor did not want to give Prince Jin too much face. But in order to protect his reputation, the emperor planned to be absent due to illness.

Do you suddenly want to go again?

"Also," the emperor stopped him, "go to the Buddhist temple and ask the queen if she wants to go."

hiss.

You even want to take the queen with you?
