    "Master Chao, are you back? You don't know that our Highness has been very upset during your absence these days!"

    Seeing Chao Cuo come back, Chuntuo immediately started talking.

    "Oh? I haven't heard of any major events in the court. What is our highness worried about?"

    This made Chao Cuo stunned. The situation in the court was now considered calm. Although there was news of the invasion of vicious slaves, for the current big man, this was considered normal.

    At this moment, Chao Cuo really couldn't think of anything that could make the prince so upset.

    "You don't know, the prince made three memorials in a row a few days ago, hoping to repair the East Palace, but Prime Minister Zhang turned them back"

    They all say that eunuchs are talkative, but seeing Chuntuo look like this is really good.

    "Renovating the East Palace? It will definitely be difficult for the prince to go to the prime minister for such a bed"

    ¡°So that¡¯s what happened. If it was just such a small thing, Chao Cuo wouldn¡¯t have to worry.

    "Master Chao, your duty room has begun to leak. A few days ago, it even leaked in Empress Bo's palace. Do you think it can still be done without repairs?"

    Seeing Chao Cuo gloating about his misfortune, Chuntuo said angrily.

    "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Just listen to me on this matter. Now go to the Inner Palace Department and ask them to send some craftsmen. We will spend our own money on all the craftsmen and buy the materials we use.  We don¡¯t need money from the treasury to renovate the entire East Palace inside and out. The vegetation in the back garden has not been taken care of for a long time, so we just take this opportunity to tidy up the garden!"

    Chao Cuo laughed and said to the degree.

    "Master Chao, are you kidding me? How can we have so much money now! If we practice according to your method, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. How can we have so much money!"

    It¡¯s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Haven¡¯t you ever eaten pork and seen a pig run away?

    Although Chuntuo, the eunuch, is not as clear as the foremen of the Inner Palace Department, the general price can still be estimated.

    "How about we make a bet?"

    Chao Cuo suddenly became interested.

    "A bet? I wonder how Mr. Chao wants to bet?"

    As a eunuch, he has lost his roots as a man and has lost all thoughts about that aspect, so his desires for other things will be particularly strong.

    Basically all eunuchs have a paranoid love for money, and Chuntuo is naturally not immune to this. If he likes money, he likes gambling. Now when he heard that Chao Cuo wanted to bet with him, his eyes immediately lit up.

    "Let's just bet on building the garden this time. According to what I just said, if the garden can be built, then I win. Eunuch Chun, I will give you the painting that His Highness the Prince gave you a few days ago.  How about sending the painting to me?"

    Chao Cuo laughed and said.

    "What if it fails to be cultivated?"

    Chuntuo suddenly became interested. Of course he, the eunuch, knew how much money there was in the Prince's Mansion. The little money His Highness had saved was all used to supplement His Highness the Acting King. How could he get so much money?  , build a garden?

    "If the cultivation fails, my father-in-law will naturally win. I will give this jade pendant I am wearing to my father-in-law. What do you think?"

    Chao Cuo said, raising the jade pendant on his waist.

    "Master Chao, don't you regret it? This is a good thing. I remember that this was given to you by His Highness the Crown Prince on the first day you arrived in the East Palace, right?"

    Chuntuo was really coveting the jade pendant on Chao Cuo's waist. This thing was so valuable that he could even buy a big house with three entrances and three exits in Chang'an City.

    "That's right, father-in-law has a good eye. I wonder if you can make this bet?"

    After Chao Cuo finished speaking, he smiled proudly.

    "It's a gamble. As gentlemen, we can't catch you, so you can't regret it!"

    Chuntuo suddenly smiled.

    "Hahahaha, I just want to thank my father-in-law for the painting! You can go to the Inner Palace now. If it's late, I'm afraid it won't be until tomorrow!"

    Chao Cuo was also very happy. That painting was an ancient relic from the pre-Qin Dynasty. Chao Cuo had long been salivating over it.

    "Is what you said true? Then I really went there, and then they came to you for money, and I didn't care!"

    Chuntuo squinted his eyes and looked at it.Chao Cuo then said.

    "Of course it's true, just let them come to me for money!"

    ¡°These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are on the way, and they should be there in a day or two. He rushed back in advance to report the news, so of course he is confident now.

    "Then I'm really going. His Highness is waiting for you in the study. If you have anything, go find His Highness first. Remember to prepare some money. Those grandsons are not easy to talk to!"

    After Chuntuo finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Chao Cuo and turned around and went out.

    The rain just leaked at Empress Bo's place, and the master is in a bad mood right now. He, the eunuch chief, doesn't want to join in the fun. He's being scolded so shamelessly. Is it possible that the empress will apologize to him afterwards?  ?

    It's just right. I went to the palace to hide for a while under the pretext of going to the Inner Palace Department.

    "Your Highness, I have made a mistake. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order. I delivered all the money from Dai Guo. I am here to return my order!"

    "Master Chao, why are you back today? Calculating the distance, you should still have a day or two left!"

    Liu Qi was still very happy that Chao Cuo came back early. No matter what, he finally had someone who could give him advice. He also had a headache now. It was about to start the rainy season in Guanzhong.  .

    When Lao Lin rains, what will he do with his East Palace?

    Especially the Crown Princess, because this matter has caused trouble with him more than once or twice.

    ¡°I have good news here, veteran, so I can¡¯t wait any longer and come back early to say hello to His Highness so that His Highness can be prepared!¡±

    Chao Cuo said quickly.

    "What good news can I have here now? Master must have heard about it. The East Palace is leaking everywhere now. I, the prince, can't even repair the East Palace, so what good news can there be!"

    This matter was depressing to mention. When he mentioned this, Liu Qi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

    "My Lord, this is what I'm here for. Your Highness really doesn't need to worry about this. It's reasonable for that old guy Zhang Cang to refuse to repair the East Palace. If he doesn't repair it, we can't repair it ourselves!"

    Chao Cuo¡¯s words were very strong, but hearing what he said made Liu Qi feel even more depressed.

    Don¡¯t you fucking know that I¡¯m short of money recently?  If you had money, you would still be talking nonsense here (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
