The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 12: The Arrival of the Beihan Delegation

A housewarming banquet with no visitors had unexpectedly made Yun Zheng rich overnight.

Although Emperor Wen couldn't attend due to state affairs, he still sent gifts.

Since Emperor Wen had sent gifts, the other princes and princesses naturally followed suit.

Many who hadn't received invitations also sent gifts.

Roughly estimated, the value of these gifts amounted to one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Now the headache was how to turn these items into cash.

Selling them the day after receiving them wouldn't look good!

Yun Zheng thought about it until late at night but couldn't come up with a reasonable reason for turning the gifts into cash. In the end, he decided not to worry about it.

After all, there would be another round of gifts during his wedding.

He could figure out how to convert them to cash then!

Deep into the night, inside the palace.

"How is Lao Liu doing?"

Emperor Wen dismissed his attendants and called in a shadow guard to inquire.

The shadow guard replied, "Almost all the officials have sent gifts, but apart from the Sixth Prince Consort, no one attended to congratulate him."

"What's Lao Liu's reaction?"

Emperor Wen asked again.

The shadow guard said, "According to the people in the mansion, the Sixth Prince seems to be in a bad mood. He didn't even eat lunch and sat in the backyard for a long time."

"Sigh..."

Emperor Wen couldn't help sighing.

Why bother?

Knowing no one would attend, he still sent out so many invitations.

He fulfilled the etiquette, but in the end, who suffered if not himself?

The shadow guard was silent for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, there's one more thing."

"Speak!"

"The other day, the Sixth Prince went to the Shen family and coincidentally met Captain Yuan Gui of the Left Garrison Cavalry. He wanted to learn riding from Yuan Gui but was pushed off the horse by Yuan Gui, who laughed loudly on the spot..."

"Yuan Gui? Yuan Cong's son?"

"Yes!"

Instantly, Emperor Wen's eyes flashed with cold light.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wen asked, "What did Yuan Cong say?"

The shadow guard immediately answered, "Yuan Cong brought Yuan Gui to the Sixth Prince's mansion to apologize..."

The shadow guard detailed the entire process of Yuan Gui and his father's apology.

After listening to the shadow guard, Emperor Wen was stunned.

Letting Yuan Cong write the invitations?

And swapping Yuan Cong's precious steed, causing them to suffer silently?

Could this be something Lao Liu would do?

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wen asked again, "Was Lao Liu's action intentional or unintentional?"

"Probably unintentional."

The shadow guard said, "The Sixth Prince asked Yuan Cong to write the invitations because his handwriting was ugly. He swapped the horse because he had just moved into the mansion and didn't recognize the horse belonged to Yuan Gui and his father..."
