Chapter 116: I lack everything except money
Yuanman gave red envelopes to anyone who showed her courtesy, regardless of age.
Moreover, her red envelopes were all worth 660 taels each and were packed bulgingly.
They have all received a good education since childhood, so naturally no one would open the red envelope on the spot.
As soon as midnight arrived, Prince Rong and the Grand Princess and her family left.
After the two families returned to their own carriages, they immediately opened the red envelopes given by the Crown Princess.
It’s not that they look down on others, but it’s the first time someone has given them a red envelope directly. In the past, they only gave precious treasures as a gift.
When they saw the six hundred and sixty taels of silver in the red envelope, they all fell silent.
There are six children in the eldest princess's family and seven in Prince Rong's family. They all received red envelopes, which totaled more than 8,500 taels.
Who sends red envelopes like this?
"Mom, isn't the Crown Princess a little too generous?" Jin Wens said as he looked at the banknotes in his hand.
The Grand Princess glanced and said, "If the Crown Princess is willing to give it, then accept it. If she is not willing, then don't complain. Just do your own thing."
The same thing was happening in Prince Rong's carriage over there. Everyone was stunned after seeing the red envelope.
In the past, the red envelopes they received were no more than one hundred taels and no more than three hundred taels.
The Crown Princess gave him more than six hundred taels when they first met. She was very generous.
Hui Chengyuan and Yuan Man stayed with the emperor and empress for a while, then greeted them and received red envelopes and gifts before leaving the palace.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hui Chengyuan brought Yuanbao into the palace early in the morning. The first purpose was to let Yuanbao recognize his ancestry, and the second was that they would follow the emperor to worship their ancestors.
It was not until 3 p.m. that Hui Chengyuan returned with Yuanbao, who was already fast asleep.
After Hui Chengyuan put Yuanbao into the room, he came to Yuanman and said, "Ah Li, Yuanbao has been included in the royal jade disc. His name has been changed to Hui Yuanxi. The Ruixi you chose will be used as his courtesy name from now on."
Seeing him looking at him apologetically, Yuan Man rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say before you left that his name would be changed? I had no objection then, and I naturally won't have any objection later."
She said that at first because she was afraid that he would snatch her son away. It doesn't matter whose surname Yuanbao has, he is still her son.
Yuan Man thought of the Queen's words, smiled and looked at him and said, "Besides, the Queen has even said that you will marry me, so I naturally won't mind whether Yuan Bao takes my last name or not."
Then Yuanman repeated the queen's words.
Hui Chengyuan was slightly stunned after hearing this, then thought for a moment and nodded, "What my mother said makes sense."
"It doesn't matter if you marry me or I marry you, as long as we live a good and happy life."
Yuan Man looked at him in surprise, "You really don't mind, isn't it a shame for you men to marry into a family? How come you accept it so easily?"
Hui Chengyuan smiled and said, "Whether it is a shame or not depends on who the other person is and who the man is."
"Why, Ari wants to marry me?"
Yuan Man raised an eyebrow, "Yes, do you want to get married?"
“If you want, I’ll marry you,” Hui Chengyuan said, kissing her on the lips.
"But my betrothal gift is not low."
Yuan Man said generously: "Don't worry, I lack everything except money."
"Just tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you."
Hui Chengyuan laughed when he heard this. "I don't lack anything, but you. How about you give yourself to me as a betrothal gift?"
"Listen, you want all my wealth!" Yuan Man just said it, Hui Chengyuan immediately said: "No, I only want you."
Yuan Man walked around him and said, "I didn't realize you were such a love-brained person."
"What is love brain?" Hui Chengyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Yuan Man waved her hand and said, "This is not important. What is important is, if I marry you, can you still inherit the throne?"
Hui Chengyuan stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, "Ari, do you want to be the queen?"
Yuan Man shook his head and then nodded, "I can experience it, but I don't want to do what the Queen needs to do."
As a woman, who doesn’t want to experience the feeling of being a queen? However, no one wants to get involved in what a queen has to do.
Hui Chengyuan laughed softly, "Then I will let you experience it for a few days, and then you will be the queen mother, how about that?"
Yuan Man stared at him with wide eyes, "You mean, you want to pass the throne directly to Yuan Bao?"
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Yes, my father is in good health now. When he retires and Yuanbao grows up, I will pass it on to him and then take you with me to be the emperor and queen mother, okay?"
"It's very good, but it's a bit of a rip-off." Yuan Man had just finished speaking when he felt that his son was being ripped off.
Pamper him more when he is young, so that you won’t be lenient with him when he grows up.
"No, he will inherit sooner or later, it's just a little earlier." Hui Chengyuan didn't feel that he had let his son down.
After all, as he said, Yuanbao will inherit the throne sooner or later, sooner or later.
Besides, maybe Yuanbao likes to be an emperor.
"So, it's not impossible for A-li to marry me, right?" Hui Chengyuan said in a low voice, his voice very seductive.
Yuan Man nodded, "Wait, I will work hard to earn the betrothal gift, and then buy clothes for your father."
Hui Chengyuan smiled and nodded, then captured her lips, pressed them and whispered, "Then, this prince will wait for A-ri to marry him."
After saying that, he kissed her.
Yuanman's mind was confused.
It was unknown how long it took Hui Chengyuan to let her go, wiped the crystal from the corners of her lips and said, "I'm leaving for Xizhou tomorrow, do you want to go with me?"
Yuan Man was blushing and breathing slightly. She nodded immediately after hearing his words. Of course, she still had to go to Xizhou to sign in.
"Why are you so anxious?" Tomorrow is only the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Hui Chengyuan's face darkened and he said, "There was a riot in Xizhou. Many students and common people petitioned for the Lou family. Ten people have died."
"One or two people die almost every day. If we don't go, things in Xizhou will become even more difficult to control."
"Okay, I'll have someone pack up, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning." Yuan Man agreed and told Hongxiutianxiang to start packing.
She didn't plan to take them with her, so she let them go back to Qinheshan by themselves in a few days.
At noon the next day, just as they got on the carriage, Manager Cao arrived.
"Your Highness, this is the secret decree from His Majesty." As he spoke, he handed the bright yellow letter in his hand to Hui Chengyuan.
Hui Chengyuan nodded, took it, took a look at it, and then handed it to Yuan Man in the carriage.
"Go back and tell my father that I know." After saying that, he climbed onto the carriage.
Chief Steward Cao stepped aside, waited for the carriage to drive away, bowed, and then returned to the palace.
Many people who knew that the prince lived here and wanted to come to pay him New Year's greetings, as well as those who wanted to inquire about the news of the prince's wife, came to nothing.
Mrs. Su wanted to bring Su Zhongxia to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen, but the Queen refused.
Mrs. Su panicked, but Su Hong had expected it.
