Chapter 10 Clearing Out the General’s Mansion
The General’s Mansion was huge.
And full of things.
Chen Bo sorted out everything useless in the storeroom and packed it into boxes.
To put the Emperor’s mind at ease.
On the memorial requesting retirement and return home, Father specially wrote that except for what I wanted to keep, everything in the mansion would be turned over to the national treasury.
The Emperor was pleased.
He even overlooked the crime of deceiving the throne.
After sighing for a while, he told Eunuch Su to send people to carry the boxes away.
I leaned on the guifei couch.
Listening to the chirping birds outside the window, I drifted off.
So when Jing Xuan suddenly pushed the door open, I jumped.
“Cui Qingyi!”
“Are you really planning to send all the birthday gifts I gave you these past ten years into the national treasury?”
I came back to myself and glared at him, frowning.
“Jing Xuan, this is my boudoir, not your prince’s residence.”
Jing Xuan plopped down right in front of me without a care.
All these years he never cared whether it was a boudoir or not. He came when he wanted, left when he wanted.
Many people said we were like a pair of happy enemies.
Some even bet on him for the throne.
“Cui Qingyi, don’t give me that.”
“Your father resigning is his business. What does throwing away my things have to do with it?”
Jing Xuan was always like this.
Among the three princes, he was the most unreasonable and domineering.
The things were gifts from him.
Yet I wasn’t allowed to dispose of them as I pleased.
