Qi Xiao sat in Fenghua Palace until Si Shi until he was free. There was no errand in front of him. Qi Xiao left the palace and went directly to the Lingnan Prince's Mansion.

Now everyone in the imperial city thinks that Qi Xiao and Bai Ren are familiar with each other because of the marriage between Roujia and He Mansion. Therefore, they have passed the road and are not as mysterious as the beginning. According to Qi Xiao's words, the more legitimate, the more open and open the people will be, the less likely they will be to attract people.

Qi Xiao did not make a report in advance. When he arrived at the Lingnan Prince's Mansion, the people in the gatehouse were shocked when they saw Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao helped the person out of the sedan chair and smiled faintly: "I come and see your prince. There is no need to report it. I will go and look for him."

The servants were worried. The scene where Qi Xiao cleaned the entire Lingnan Prince's Mansion last time was still vivid in his mind. Everyone thought that the King of Hell was not here to find them again. They were all trembling and no one dared to say anything if they didn't let the report. They stood by the side in a regular manner.

After knowing that Bai Ren was in the account, Qi Xiao didn't need anyone to lead the way, so he closed the fox fur and held the hand stove and searched all the way.

Bai Ren sat in front of the case and heard the old butler tell him about the accounts for this month. The old butler looked bad and smiled bitterly, "Curry has a lot of good things, but... we can't sell those things. The day before yesterday, I dared to take Curry's 100,000 gold ingots of gold and naked son for one thousand taels of silver. It was only the one I lost in the past few days. It's just now that the New Year is coming, there are still many places to use the money below, but our Curry has nothing to exchange for money. Your Highness, this..."

Bairen looked at the account book carefully. When he first came to the imperial city, he spent a lot of money to inquire about Roujia. The rest of the money was left. He had no place to go for the accounts in his mansion. He had no place to go. He now had no errands, no salary or filial piety. Even his fief of five hundred households was still in Lingnan. The Lingnan Prince's Mansion had no village here, and there was no entry at all in the huge royal palace. When he came to Beijing, the King of Lingnan only gave him 10,000 taels of silver. Although the princess gave him privately and the silver he had accumulated over the years, he spent almost half a year.

The imperial city is different from Lingnan. There are too many etiquette exchanges in the festival. It is rare that Bai Ren has never handled these things and can handle them properly. However, it is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. It is the end of the year and there is no money left.

Bai Ren turned the account book directly to the last page. Remember everything sent by Lingnan half a month ago. It has leather, clothing, and playthings, but there is no silver note.

I knew that it was time to use money in the next year, but I just gave this little thing without any pain. Bai Ren didn't have to think about it and knew whose idea was.

Bai Ren closed the account book, pursed his lips, and said for a while: "I remember that Curry also has a set of gold lamps, which have no over-the-counter patterns on it, so I can take them out. I remember that the set of goldware must be dozens of taels. Although the quality is not very good, I can still exchange for 500 taels of silver and use it as a gift."

The old housekeeper looked at Bai Ren's childish face, which was still young, and couldn't help feeling distressed. During the New Year, the old man felt in love with the scene and couldn't help but blush his eyes: "The princess is far away and can't see it. If she knew that the prince was suffering like this, her heart would be broken..."

Bai Ren paused and laughed: "Don't say this..."

Bairen actually didn't think anything. He was used to suffering. This kind of suffering was far worse than the anxiety he thought Roujia was going to marry Qi Xiao that day. It was just a little bit difficult to live. At worst, he was shameless and no longer rewarded his servants. He was also casually evasive when he exchanged gifts during the year. Anyway, the one who lost the entire Lingnan Prince's Mansion. His father did not understand him, so he didn't need to grit his teeth and support others.

But Bairen couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard the old housekeeper say this. It's the Chinese New Year, and his mother and sister don't know what.

When Qi Xiao walked into the account room, he happened to hear the old housekeeper's words, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the hardship of the prince?"

Bai Ren was stunned, then stood up and frowned and said to the outside: "Why don't you inform me if the prince is here?"

"Don't blame them, I want to coax you." Qi Xiao walked up and took the account book and flipped through it. Seeing the last surplus, he laughed: "Where is the silver in your house?"

Bai Ren didn't want to be ugly in front of Qi Xiao, so he took the account book and said, "No, this is not the general account."

Qi Xiao didn't believe it at all, so he turned to look at the old housekeeper: "Your only has his master in your house, and you have limited food and clothing. How much expense can you have? Why can't you have enough left at all?"

The old butler glanced at Bai Ren, after weighing the pros and cons, pretended not to see Bai Ren's eyes, and lowered his head and said, "Our prince's expenses are not big, but he can't stand the waste of incoming and entering. It's the end of the year, just etiquette exchanges are a large sum of silver. This is not counting the money that would be rewarded to these people in the mansion last year. These are still small heads. After the New Year, the princess comes, if there is no investment, then..."

Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren's face, and then thought about the words he heard just now and knew that this was probably the little shoes worn by Bai Ren by the concubine of Lingnan.

Qi Xiao put the account book aside and turned to the person who followed him, "Go back to the house and send it to the money."

Before Bai Ren could speak, Qi Xiao smiled and said, "Don't talk too much, can you make money by yourself?"

The old butler was speechless, and he was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. Qi Xiao smiled: "If you have shortages in the future, go to my house and say, your prince is thin-skinned, so you should be more considerate for him."

The old butler never expected that Qi Xiao was so easy to talk to in private, so he went there with great gratitude.

Qi Xiao smiled at Bai Ren: "Okay, the matter here is over. Don't the prince invite me to sit in the warm room and have a cup of hot tea?"

Bai Ren's face turned slightly red due to shame, and he bit his lower lip without saying anything. Qi Xiao knew that he was not so excited and smiled and said, "What's the matter? Come here, I have something important to tell you."

Bai Ren nodded, followed Qi Xiao to the front, and after entering the warm pavilion, Qi Xiao stepped back from everyone, smiled at Bai Ren and said, "Little New Year's Eve, Your Highness has given all the servants empty the silver treasury. Should I also reward me with something?"

Bai Ren was still thinking about what had just happened, hesitated and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for solving my urgent needs. I...I will ask them to send my fief in Lingnan next year..."

Qi Xiao couldn't hold on and smiled: "Your fief? How many are there?"

Bai Ren knew that Qi Xiao was not ridiculing him and whispered: "There are some."

Qi Xiao laughed sarcastically: "For that little money, I advise you not to open this point, just let your concubine keep the medicine and take it... Don't interrupt, ask you, what have you prepared for me?"

Bai Ren was stunned. After thinking for a while, he turned around and entered the inner room. After a while, he took out a half-new small box of gold-painted carved flowers and handed it to Qi Xiao and said, "This is... this is given to me by my mother before I came to Beijing. Although it is not an antique, it is also an object. If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, please accept it."

Qi Xiao was originally playing with Bai Ren, but he didn't expect Bai Ren to take it seriously, but he took it out. No matter what it was, he naturally had to accept it. Qi Xiao opened the box and saw a green jade ring in the box. The jade ring was of excellent color and warm with tentacles. There were a lot of Sanskrit engraved on it, which looked like words but not words like pictures but not pictures. Qi Xiao didn't recognize it. It was probably some words like wealth and wishful thinking. He smiled: "I will let someone put on the ears when I go back."

Bai Ren stopped talking, and nodded for a while and said, "This is for peace, Your Highness... take it with you."

Qi Xiao smiled, got up and sat in the same place with Bai Ren, and chuckled softly, "You gave me such a big gift, don't you ask what I have prepared for you?"

Bai Ren looked at Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao knew that he would not make jokes with others, and no longer teased him. He laughed and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him: "Look at it yourself."

Bai Ren took the letter and saw it, and his eyes suddenly turned red... Four words were written on the envelope: My son opened his own heart, this is the handwriting of the Princess of Lingnan!

Bai Renshou shook a little, pursed his lips and opened the envelope carefully, for fear of tearing the letter paper inside. He slowly took out the letter paper and read it word by word.

Qi Xiao felt a little distressed in his eyes and sighed softly: "I heard from people who went to Lingnan that the princess is fine now. Princess Roujia has made a marriage. The King of Lingnan has been much better to the princess for the sake of the eldest princess, and even your mother has been much better in the royal palace."

"This is a letter from the eldest princess when she went to Lingnan to send New Year gifts to the princess and princesses. If you miss your mother in the future, I will ask the eldest princess to send someone to walk around." Qi Xiao smiled beggingly, "Your father will not know these letters. If you have anything you want to say, you can write them with confidence."

Bai Ren read the letter several times, tried his best to hold back his tears, and said hoarsely: "Thank you... Thank you Your Highness..."

Qi Xiao suddenly remembered the words of the old housekeeper who had just heard, and whispered: "It's like the thing just now. Just tell me generously. You know, I have never lacked gold and silver things. You just need to say one word and I can help you cook directly. Why not do it? Although I always like to tease you, you also understand in your heart that I really take your affairs to heart, right?"

Bairen nodded with red eyes, Qi Xiao smiled: "So, just to prevent your mother from thinking day and night, you should be more obedient. When you are wronged in the future, think of your mother. If you suffer a little bit of hardship, she will feel uncomfortable for you..."

Bai Ren was afraid that he would be hoarse when he opened his mouth. He closed his lips and just nodded. Qi Xiao sighed softly: "Okay... don't feel uncomfortable. It's the New Year, and it's unlucky to cry."

Bai Ren nodded and sighed: "Thank you... Thank you Your Highness."

Qi Xiao held Bai Ren's hand and squeezed softly, "Why thank you?"

Bai Ren was stunned. I didn't know where he thought of it. His face turned red slightly. He held back the shame and grabbed Qi Xiao's clothes, leaned close to Qi Xiao's lips and kissed Qi Xiao's lips. His lips were about to part. Qi Xiao put it on Bai Ren's waist and refused to let him run away. He chuckled and said, "Today is the New Year's Eve. I am bored alone in the mansion. Why don't you go over and accompany me? Just treat it as a thank you gift?"

The two were very close, and Qi Xiao would sweep his breath on Bairen's face when he spoke like this. Bairen's cheeks turned red, and he nodded.
