Chapter 145 Zhou Ji
Prince Liang’s Mansion is hosting a banquet!
It has been nearly half a year since King Liang established his palace, but during this half year, his royal brothers have not moved around, so no one came.
Today, all the princes are here as guests as promised.
Chu Xinyuan had already prepared and came to the door in person.
The eldest prince, Chu Chengye, smiled and said: "Last time my fifth brother said that the mansion was poor, I almost believed it after I finished it. Now I see that the mansion of my fifth brother is grand and grand, but it has nothing to do with poverty!"
After what happened in Mu Mansion, Chu Chengye knew that Mu Mingyuan tried his best to draw a clear line with Chu Xinyuan in order to make him trust him more. Although he felt that Mu Mingyuan had made a foolish move, he also saw that Chu Xinyuan also had the same intention.
Meaning, otherwise, he would not have allowed his princess to show any mercy to Mu Mingyuan over the dowry.
This fifth emperor brother cannot be used by himself.
However, as long as he does not become his enemy, Chu Chengye is still willing to continue to maintain his demeanor as a wise king outside.
Chu Xinyuan smiled slightly and said: "The house was given by my father, and it is indeed magnificent. However, my salary is low, and it is true that I am poor! Brothers and sisters of the emperor know that my foundation is shallow, and I have been fighting abroad before.
We don’t have much family property. If my brothers are willing to help me a little, I would be very grateful!"
Chu Yuntai said carelessly: "That's easy to say. I will give you one thousand taels of silver. Is that enough?"
The sixth prince, Chu Chengyu, sneered slightly and said: "Eighth brother, are you sending a beggar away? You can even say a thousand taels of silver. I will give you two thousand taels!"
This amount of money is a huge sum for an ordinary family, but for the two princes, it is completely insignificant. What's more, the two wives are from wealthy families with high official positions and generous salaries, so naturally it is even more insignificant.
The words of both of them were condescending and somewhat insulting. It was obvious that their purpose was to anger Chu Xinyuan and make a joke!
Chu Chengye was amused in his heart, but he said on his face: "Sixth and eighth brothers are talking nonsense again. All the brothers are here today. It was originally to congratulate the fifth brother on his move to the new house. It is obviously a gift. How can it be said that it is so ugly to say that there is no charity?"
He had a gentle and friendly smile, almost like an eldest brother.
Chu Yuncheng did not speak.
Chu Xinyuan smiled and said: "Whether it's a donation or a gift, real money and silver are always good things. This is what I lack! My brothers and sisters are willing to donate generously. What do you mean by saying something ugly? I don't
mind!"
Chu Chengye glanced at him. The fifth emperor brother, who was only bullied in the deep palace and who trembled in fear when he saw them, had changed.
So flexible and flexible? So unable to see through his joy and anger!
Did the battlefield make him change, or has he always been like this?
A crisp voice broke in: "Oh, why are you standing at the door all the time? Fifth brother doesn't want to receive us at the door, right? I'm dying of thirst!"
This is the Seventh Princess Chu Mengying. Her carriage was slightly behind her and was blocked by the carriages of several princes. She came over just now.
There are many princes in the royal family, and there are also many princesses. However, the first three princesses are already married, and the other three died in infancy and did not survive. The fourteen-year-old seventh princess is the oldest princess in the royal family today.
She loves fun the most. When she heard that her brothers were coming to Prince Liang's Mansion today, she begged her mother, Concubine Xian, for a long time, and was finally allowed to come.
