My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 297 The show begins

Inside the Palace at Youshi

"May Your Highness be happy and live in Chang'an, and be blessed with longevity and good health." Wan Yanzhong finished the wine in the glass, and at the same time, he stared at Wan Sutong, who was wearing a veil, beside Zhao Jinghua opposite him.

Zhao Jingcheng nodded and drank the wine in the glass. "Thank you, Right Prime Minister."

Wan Yanzhong lowered his head slightly and gave Zhao Jinghua a bad look, thinking to himself, "He left my daughter at home and brought this dancer to the palace banquet. He is such a piece of shit."

Zhao Jinghua raised a barely perceptible smile, and as if to deliberately anger Wan Yanzhong, he put his arm around Wan Sutong's waist. Wan Sutong looked up at Zhao Jinghua, not knowing what was going on. "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jinghua shook his head and took back the hand that was around Wan Sutong. He picked up the wine glass, stood up and said respectfully to Zhao Jingcheng, "Your Highness, I offer a glass to you. May your highness be everlastingly elegant and prosperous, and may you continue to rule the country for many years."

Zhao Jingcheng quickly picked up the wine glass and stood up respectfully. He hesitated to speak because he didn't know how to address Zhao Jinghua. In the end, he only said, "Thank you, Regent."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and then they both drank the wine in their glasses at the same time. Zhao Jingcheng chuckled and looked at Zhao Jinghua, "Prince Regent, please take a seat."

After Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly and sat down, Wan Sutong quietly pulled Zhao Jinghua's sleeve, thinking in her heart, "Jinghua, I'm hungry." Then she looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table and asked Zhao Jinghua, "Which one can I eat?"

Zhao Jinghua did not say anything after hearing this, but picked up an orange and slowly peeled it.

0533 At this time, someone in the space laughed, "It seems that only this orange has not been drugged."

Zhao Jingyu pondered for a moment before picking up the wine glass and slowly standing up. "I wish my brother the Crown Prince everything goes as he wishes and that you will always be happy."

Zhao Jingcheng nodded and smiled heartily, "Thank you, Seventh Brother."

Zhao Jinghua then handed the peeled orange to Wan Sutong beside him.

Wan Sutong took the orange absentmindedly. After holding the orange in her hand, she did not eat it immediately. Instead, she took a slice of the orange and handed it to Zhao Jinghua's mouth. It was not to maintain Chu Wan's personality, but because she was afraid of sourness.

Zhao Jinghua turned his head to glance at Wan Sutong and saw that Wan Sutong was looking at him with a smile. Even though Wan Sutong had nothing in her mind at the moment, Zhao Jinghua understood her intention, so he opened his mouth and ate the orange.

Wan Yanzhong was so angry when he saw this from a distance that he wanted to curse Zhao Jinghua on the spot.

Zhao Jinghua chewed the orange in his mouth and looked up to meet Wan Yanzhong's gaze. After a moment, he turned his head and touched Wan Sutong's head.

Wan Sutong ate an orange and looked at Wan Yanzhong with a puzzled look on her face. At the same time, she thought to herself, "My father didn't seem to recognize me." Thinking of this, Wan Sutong suddenly had an idea. She pulled up her sleeves to reveal the yellow jade bracelet on her wrist, picked up the wine pot on the table and slowly poured wine for Zhao Jinghua.

Who would have thought that Wan Yanzhong became even angrier after seeing this, his entire face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

0533At this time, everyone in the space was laughing so hard that they were rocking back and forth. "Hahaha, host, now except for your husband and this system, who knows that you are Wan Sutong? Look how angry your father is, he thinks you are showing off here on purpose, hahahahahaha"

0533 laughed for a long time before he stopped laughing. Then he gave Wan Sutong a plan and said, "Why don't you just tell him through voice transmission?"

Wan Sutong sighed and puffed up her cheeks. "The distance is a bit far. I'm afraid I've sent the message to the wrong person. I'm afraid my father won't believe Jinghua's message." At this point, Wan Sutong's eyes rolled around and she immediately came up with a good idea. "How about you go over and explain to the system?"

0533 sighed heavily and appeared next to Wan Yanzhong. When he spoke, his tone was extremely helpless, "Host's father"

Wan Yanzhong was shocked when he heard the voice of 0533. He thought something happened to Wan Sutong, but he didn't expect Zhao Jingcheng to raise his glass at an inappropriate time and say "A toast to you all."

Wan Yanzhong frowned slightly, and picked up the wine glass with a very irritable heart. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, 0533 understood that Wan Yanzhong had misunderstood again, so he chuckled and said, "You misunderstood. The person next to Zhao Jinghua is my host. She is not good at academics and is afraid that the message will reach the wrong person if the distance is too far. She is also afraid that her husband will say that you don't believe it, so she asked this system to convey it." At this point, 0533 quickly added, "Don't show it, otherwise it will ruin Zhao Jinghua's plan. Normally, I shouldn't tell you, but my host saw that your face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and I was afraid that you would get sick from anger."

Wan Yanzhong coughed lightly to indicate that he understood, and then sent a voice message to Wan Sutong, "Tongtong, you need to practice more. It is said that the genius doctor Gu Ming can send a voice message a thousand miles away. Are you afraid of it when it's only more than ten meters away?"

After hearing this, Wan Sutong scratched her head with her little finger as if carelessly, and kept glancing upwards to cover up her embarrassment.

Wan Yanzhong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he shook his head, sighed deliberately and muttered softly, "You really like the new and dislike the old" just for the ministers beside him to hear.

As expected, the ministers beside him hurriedly comforted Wan Yanzhong after hearing this, "Prime Minister Wan, don't worry. Your daughter is your legal wife, and a concubine is just a concubine after all. No matter how favored she is, she can't threaten your daughter's position. It's just a temporary novelty."

Wan Yanzhong nodded with a sad look on his face. "I know this, but my daughter has only been married for a short time... The Regent is... Hey..." At this point, Wan Yanzhong was hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, the man patted Wan Yanzhong on the shoulder and laughed, "How many people in this world can be like you, Prime Minister Wan, who are together for life? What's more, with the Regent's looks, isn't it only a matter of time before he has many wives and concubines?"

Wan Yanzhong shook his head and was about to show his acting skills when he heard the guard shout "Your Majesty is here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall, including Zhao Jingcheng, stood up and saluted. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, my father."

Zhao Jinfang was followed by Eunuch Yin and Eunuch Wang. Eunuch Yin was holding a tray covered with red satin. Zhao Jinfang saw everyone's respectful look and nodded with a smile, "Stand up."

Zhao Jingcheng walked forward and welcomed Zhao Jinfang to the main seat. "Father, why are you here?"

Zhao Jinfang smiled happily after sitting down. "Today is your birthday, so your father will come." As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Wang raised his hand and lifted the red silk covering the tray. As the red silk was slowly lifted, a pure gold cornucopia was placed on the tray, and in the center of the cornucopia was an extremely dazzling red coral.

Zhao Jingcheng looked at the red coral in front of him and his thoughts gradually drifted away

Zhao Jinfang glanced at Zhao Jinghua with a sly look in his eyes, but after a moment he turned to look at Zhao Jingcheng, "My son, are you satisfied with the birthday gift?"

Zhao Jingcheng's thoughts gradually came back to him after hearing the question. He quickly bowed to Zhao Jinfang and said, "I am very happy. Thank you, father."

Zhao Jinfang nodded and looked at Zhao Jingcheng meaningfully, then raised his eyes and scanned the people in the hall, "Please sit down." After saying that, he fixed his eyes on the empty seat next to Zhao Jingyu, "Why didn't Jingjia come today?"

Zhao Jingyu was about to sit down when he heard this and quickly stood up and said, "Father, my fourth brother has caught a cold and is not suitable for drinking. He was afraid of spoiling the Crown Prince's mood, so he asked me to deliver the gift and did not come."
