Chapter 709 Impossible (6)_1
"Endowed by Heaven, the Emperor decrees..." A quivering voice rang out in the courtyard.
Normally, those who received the decree were required to kneel in front of Mister Miao, even if Chu Suifeng’s status was high enough; that rule could not be abandoned. Otherwise, it would constitute disrespect to the Emperor.
However, Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin remained in the house and did not come out. Qin Mama’s voice had reverberated instead: "Prince, Princess, the mat has been prepared."
Afterwards, there was silence inside the house.
Mister Miao and Lin Haisheng could only laugh bitterly, yet neither dared to enter the house.
After faithfully reading the royal decree, Mr. Miao was eager to leave the Wang Residence as soon as possible.
Hong Ying came out to receive the decree, her casual impatient gesture made Mister Miao even more alarmed. It was only at this moment that he truly realized the Prince didn’t care about the imperial edict.
"The Imperial Court has cut off the Northern Land’s grain and salary supplies thus this Prince can only fend for himself. I am sure Mister Lin and Mister Miao have seen how poor I am, and how hard life is for the people in the Northern Land," Chu Suifeng’s cold voice emanated from the house.
Mister Miao and Lin Haisheng scrutinized the understated luxury within Prince’s Residence and secretly cursed Chu Suifeng. Poor, my foot! Look at all the colored glazes in the house. Even the Emperor didn’t have these in the Capital City, and he has the nerve to cry poverty.
Seemingly reading their thoughts, Bai Xian quickly explained the origin of the colored glazes. "Both of you shouldn’t think the Prince is pretending to be poor. A lot of the things in the Residence are replenished with the silver earned through trading, some even through bartering goods. Take the colored glaze in this room for example, it was a gift from foreign merchants in exchange for our goods."
