Chapter 228 Lip Reading

King Qin looked through the gift list for a while, and seeing that there was nothing that interested him, he simply threw it all to Manager Cheng.

"You should find someone to register these things. If your father, queen and mother ask about it, you don't have to hide it. As for the gift from Lu Xiaosi, if anyone asks about it..."

King Qin pondered for a moment, "Just tell the truth about your name."

Manager Cheng immediately understood that the name was just a bonsai with an auspicious and tacky name. Who would have thought that this bonsai of fortune, longevity, happiness and wealth could be a cornucopia made of gold, silver, jewels and jade.

Even if someone can think of it, I'm afraid they can't be so wealthy.

As long as the King of Qin does not ruin his family, one pot can really feed the King of Qin's palace for several years!

Think about the Palace of Prince Qin. Apart from its great name, it is actually an empty shell.

But Fourth Young Master Lu was different. He lived in Buyi Alley, where all the people he met were white men, and he opened a restaurant and teahouse, but he always made big purchases.

Let General Manager Cheng suddenly wonder, is this restaurant and teahouse really so profitable? Otherwise, he can find two good-minded people to secretly open a restaurant and teahouse for King Qin in the capital to try.

At any rate, it is better to earn some pocket money for His Highness the King of Qin than to pawn off gifts given by others and exchange them for money.

However, that's all Eunuch Cheng thought.

It is really not easy for the King of Qin to do something eye-catching. His Majesty is not happy, the empress is helpless, and Concubine Zhou is eyeing her, but the King of Qin cannot make a mistake at all.

When Eunuch Cheng followed the King of Qin out of the palace, the Queen Mother told him to take good care of His Highness. If he cannot do it, he will make a mistake. It is better to have no success than to make a mistake.

Hey, a good prince can't live as elegantly as a merchant!

Eunuch Cheng sighed deeply in his heart and hurried to the accounting room.

Tonight, he will work with the accountant to sort out the gift lists, put what should be stored in the warehouse, and use what should be used.

Tomorrow morning, he would go into the palace to see the Queen. Today, the King of Qin left the palace to set up his residence, and the Queen could not come in person. He had to tell the Queen who were the guests today, what gifts the guests had given, and the gift list.

After all, when the King of Qin leaves the palace and establishes a mansion, some things can be collected and some things cannot be collected, and it must be under the control of the queen.

If you collect something that you shouldn't collect, you will have to find a way to return it when the time comes. If you really can't return it, then you can only let the Queen find a way.

Anyway, there is no one in Prince Qin's palace who can really take charge. If he doesn't ask the Queen to help him, he is afraid of being harmed by someone with ulterior motives.

Eunuch Cheng thought about it and went to the accounting room, leaving a small table and cabinet waiting outside the door of the study.

The King of Qin has just moved to the palace, and the people serving in the palace are not yet fully equipped.

There is a banquet in the mansion today. Although it is said that Eunuch Deng and his people from the palace are helping to organize the banquet, but now that the banquet is over, people have to be hired to tidy up, put away and clean everything.

Almost all the people in the mansion were well-off, and even King Qin only had two people left to serve him.

The cold tea was replaced on the small table and the newly brewed hot tea was gently replaced.

"Your Highness, I have something to report."

King Qin continued to look at the scroll in his hand and asked lazily: "What's the matter?"

The little table said cautiously: "I don't dare to deceive Your Highness. I learned some ventriloquism from the troupe when I was a child. You can know what the other person is saying by looking at the shape of their mouth."

King Qin suddenly raised his head and looked at the small table with disbelief in his eyes: "Can you tell what the other person is saying just by looking at the shape of their lips?"

The small table hurriedly knelt down and banged its head several times: "Yes, I learned this from a young age, and I don't dare to deceive Your Highness. I haven't used it since I entered the palace."

"No need to kneel down, just get up and answer."

King Qin put down the scroll, sat upright and asked, "Did you see something today?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, today when I was ordered to accompany Eunuch Cheng to see off Fourth Young Master Song, Eunuch Cheng stopped the carriage at the entrance of the alley for a while. At that time, I was sitting on the side facing the gate of Fourth Young Master Lu's house."

King Qin's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but although Xiao Zuo stood up, he kept his head lowered and stared at the ground to reply, not daring to raise his head.

"At that time, Commander Song and Fourth Young Master Lu were talking at the door. I accidentally saw Commander Song asking Fourth Young Master Lu, the person who is guarding the gate at your house is Chen Xiaohu."

King Qin was suddenly startled, and the scroll in his hand was crinkled.

The small table was still replying without noticing: "I also saw Commander Song saying that he was the one who cut off my arm. Don't you think I should ask? If... if..."

At this point, the little table trembled and fell to its knees again, not daring to continue talking.

King Qin asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what if?"

The bonsai of good fortune, longevity, happiness and wealth in the study was placed in the corner behind King Qin. In the study where the lights had already been turned on, it shone like a gorgeous dream.

Xiao Zhuo knelt down in front of King Qin and bravely continued to report: "Commander Song said that if Dali Temple knew about it, Chen Xiaohu would be the one who lit up the lanterns at Ningyuan Hou Mansion..."

"Bastard." King Qin didn't wait for the small table to continue speaking, and smashed the book in his hand.

Song Yunfei dared to threaten Lu Xiaosi, and he was worthy of it.

King Qin got up in anger and paced back and forth.

After walking for a while and calming down, I saw the small table still kneeling on the ground shivering.

He impatiently kicked the shoulder of the small table: "Why don't you get out and wait for me to reward you?"

"Don't dare. Get out of here, slave." As he said that, the little table kowtowed and hurriedly stepped back.

After he closed the study door, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his temples.

Xiao Zhuo didn't know why King Qin was angry, but he also knew that he had made the right bet today.

Young eunuchs like them must be loyal to whichever master they follow.

When he was assigned to King Qin, he was very happy.

But the Holy Emperor was not happy with the King of Qin, so the originally hot and enviable position became a hot potato.

It wasn't until the King of Qin left the palace to establish a palace and the young eunuchs they had served in the Third Prince's Palace were sent to the Palace of Qin by the Empress that he felt a little more at ease.

Young eunuchs like him had served King Qin in the palace. If they couldn't follow King Qin when he left the palace, even if they were assigned to other palaces in the future, no one would care about them.

If you can follow King Qin out of the palace, if you are lucky, it is not impossible for a weasel to become a tiger if you give it a try.

This person was sent out by His Highness to see someone off, and Xiao Zhuo knew in his heart that this was an opportunity. Along the way, he served Fourth Young Master Lu attentively, and specially waited for a short period of time when the carriage was parked at the alley, and sent Commander Song to the meeting.

I compared what I said over and over again and finally wrote it down.

Now, seeing King Qin getting angry, Xiao Zhuo was not only not afraid, but also felt an inexplicable sense of excitement.

Maybe one day his little table will become someone like Eunuch Cheng or Eunuch Deng.
