The emperor's expression softened slightly and looked at Yu Jingdu, "You have a lot of wallets."

Yu Jingdu did not make a sound.

"Go back to Your Majesty." Li Feng, who was standing beside him, suddenly said, "It's all the minister's fault, not His Highness."

As he said, he went to the hall and knelt down on one knee, "His Royal Highness asked the ministers in the first few days, saying that if you meet someone and give some kind of greetings, it would not be beyond the norm and would make people like it. The ministers have been in the army for a long time, and the sons have made great contributions. They all just want to reward money, and the minister casually said that rewarding money is the best, who doesn't love money..."

As he spoke, he took out the purse Yu Jingdu gave him today and said, "His Royal Highness thought it would not look good to reward the silver directly, so he went to the embroidery room to have someone make a lot of purses and put the gold leaves in it. The minister also got one today, His Royal Highness said that he should be... a lucky money for his ministers."

As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter.

It's probably the first time I've seen such a big man, and I've even taken the New Year's money.

"Isn't this a coincidence?" Ji Xiunian on the side smiled and said, "General Li's purse is very similar to the purse of the Eighth Highness, haha."

When everyone saw it, they were quite similar, so it was not unusual to think that Yu Jingdu and Rong Zhuo's purses were very similar in style.

The emperor's expression softened a little, looked at Yu Jingdu and asked, "Who else did you give your wallet to?"

"I can't remember." Yu Jingdu said, "Several people can't name them..."

Crowd: ...

At this time, probably sensing that the atmosphere in the hall was a little slower, a student stood up.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, the student... The student also received a purse from His Highness." The student said, and presented a purse in a polite manner.

Then two more students also presented their wallets in the same way.

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Yu Jingdu had a gloomy face and said nothing.

"You really are, why didn't you speak just now?" Ji Xiunian asked a student.

"Sir, don't be surprised, students..." The student blushed and said, "The students don't know that everyone has the New Year's gift from His Royal Highness the King of Yan. I'm afraid that people who don't have it will be resentful after they say it, so they keep it hidden."

The emperor couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

"The third, the third, why did you bring the habits of the army to the palace? How can you give gold leaves as gifts during the New Year?" The emperor pretended to be angry and said, "You still need to learn more about these etiquettes, and let Mr. Ji come back. I'll teach you a good lesson, so that there will be no more misunderstandings like this."

When Yu Jingdu heard the words, he got up and bowed to Ji Xiunian, and Ji Xiunian also bowed back to him.

With such a commotion, no one cared about Rong Zhuo, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

Rong Zhuo looked at Yu Jingdu from a distance, looked at each other, and then withdrew his gaze.

He didn't have any worries at this moment, but he was relieved, and he buried his head and kowtowed the pine nuts on the table again.

The emperor ordered people to return everyone's purse, and the students who did not receive the purse from King Yan looked at the person who received the purse with some envy.

The fifth prince thought it was interesting, and went over to ask Yu Jingdu for a purse, but he didn't expect that the other party actually asked for one from his personal attendant.

Upon seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but be curious, and upon asking, he learned that Yu Jingdu still had more than a dozen purses that he hadn't given away.

He immediately became interested, and simply asked Yu Jingdu to take out the rest of the purse. This time, the students and princes present were all alone.

A farce ended here.

The prince looked at the purse in front of him with an ugly expression, and couldn't even squeeze out a half smile on his face.

The emperor swept over the people present seemingly unintentionally, and saw that Yu Jingdu was helping the eighth prince to take out the sugar cake from his purse, and he also taught a few words with a serious face, while the eighth prince shrank his neck and looked clever and sensible.

One of the first parties, Rong Zhuo, was burying his head in kowtow to the pine nuts, and he could not see any guilt or anxiety at all. While eating, the young man did not forget to pass a handful to the palace servant behind him.

The emperor smiled helplessly, thinking that after this young man came to the palace banquet, besides eating, he didn't even take the initiative to chat with others, which shows that he was not motivated. Thinking about it carefully, the other party has lived in the Yanwang Mansion for so long, and the New Year's gift he received is the same as that of others. It is estimated that he did not get Yu Jingdu's favor.

Thinking about it too, Yu Jingdu's temperament is very similar to him, how could he like such a person?

Thinking of this, the emperor completely dispelled his doubts.

The author has something to say:

Yu Jingdu: "I didn't like it", "I don't want to see it"

Chapter 63

After such a commotion tonight, the emperor felt a little tired.

When You Qi saw the pale-faced Prince, he only felt disappointed in his heart, and even looked at him one more time and felt bad.

I don't know how he could give birth to such a thing?

In order to make him suspicious of Jing Du, the other party even did such a thing that was not on the table, and he almost lost face in front of the teachers and students of Guozi School.

The emperor is only glad that he has seen the nature of the prince early. If he handed over the country to such a prince, then the foundation he has worked so hard to save over the years will probably be destroyed.

The emperor glanced at the prince coldly, his face full of disgust and displeasure.

In the end, he didn't stay until the end of the banquet, so he excused himself and left first.

Fireworks were also arranged in the palace that night, so after the emperor left, he did not let everyone disperse, but told the eldest prince to preside over the situation.

Although he didn't say anything, most of the people present knew it well.

It stands to reason that the emperor should go to rest first, and the palace banquet should be presided over by the prince.

But the emperor never mentioned the prince, as if treating him as a transparent person, he directly called the name of the eldest prince.

After the emperor left, everyone had different thoughts.

The prince reluctantly wanted to maintain his dignity, so he could only hold on and not leave the table.

"Call Lao Qi here." The emperor said to Laifu after returning to the dormitory, "Call the crown prince as well. I was thinking of telling him about it after the new year, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient. , I don’t know how to restrain myself during the New Year’s Eve, so I think I’m blind!”
