Lin Zhen looked down at the documents being presented to him in the Tai Chi Hall when a young eunuch approached to report.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has entered the palace and is currently with Consort Wan."
"I understand," Lin Zhen replied.
After a while, once he had finished his administrative duties, he instructed the young eunuch, "To Consort Wan's chambers."
When Lin Zhen arrived, he saw the two of them engaged in conversation.
"Your Majesty has arrived," announced the young eunuch.
Lin Feng looked up and saw Lin Zhen striding in confidently. Both Lin Feng and Lu Wanying quickly rose to pay their respects.
"Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty."
"Your servant pays respects to Your Majesty."
"Please rise," Lin Zhen said.
At that moment, with a smile on his face, Wu Emperor Lin Zhen asked, "Feng Er, what brings you here so suddenly?"
Hearing the Emperor's question, Lin Feng stepped forward respectfully and replied, "In response to Your Majesty, I recently visited Lord Xia's residence. However, I left in such haste that I did not bring any gifts with me. It was only after I arrived that I realized this was somewhat disrespectful and impetuous. Therefore, I specifically returned to inquire about what kind of gifts would be appropriate for my next visit to ensure that I adhere to proper etiquette."
Wu Emperor nodded slightly in acknowledgment and said, "Well, it's good that you have such considerations; it shows you are sensible. Since that's the case, prepare some generous gifts for your next visit. However, I wonder if our household finances are sufficient for this matter? If not, I shall grant you some additional Silver Taels."
After saying this, he turned to a nearby attendant and instructed, "Come here! Quickly send ten thousand taels of silver to the Fourth Prince's Mansion."
The attendant promptly responded, "As you command!"
Lin Feng had barely had the chance to respond when the one thousand taels of silver were effortlessly bestowed upon him. Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart. He quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Emperor Long'en!"
After a while, Lin Feng realized that he had no other pressing matters to report or seek guidance on, so he quietly stood to the side, waiting for further instructions or arrangements from the Emperor.
Lin Zhen glanced at Lin Feng standing nearby.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment before replying, " Your son takes his leave."
Upon returning home, Lin Feng stepped through the door and was greeted by a cacophony of noise. The one thousand taels of silver awarded by the court had already arrived at his residence, and at that moment, the steward, Old Zhang, was directing a group of servants to transport the shiny silver into the treasury for safekeeping.
As Lin Feng observed the bustling scene before him, an inexplicable curiosity welled up inside him. Almost as if compelled by an unseen force, he found himself walking toward the treasury.
Old Zhang was busy at the entrance of the treasury when he inadvertently caught sight of Lin Feng's figure. Startled, he quickly set aside his tasks and hurried over, bowing respectfully as he said, "Fourth Prince, what brings you here in person?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly and casually replied, "Oh, I just wanted to see how much silver we have left in our treasury."
