Besides lying down, I also know a little about power struggles

Chapter 112 Begonia Color

In the guest room, Lu Tao replied to Fang Tong dutifully: "His Highness said that these boxes of things are for the young lady, so you can accept them."

Fang Tong squatted on the ground, looking at the items in the box, exclaiming in amazement.

She didn't know how to identify antiques, but these study treasures, porcelain and tea sets looked very expensive. The other two boxes of raw materials were luxury goods that only wealthy families could afford. She couldn't help but wonder how much of her eight hundred taels was left.

Lu Tao saw her hesitation and smiled and said, "These are all rewards from the palace. You deserve them for your meritorious service in protecting the emperor."

Fang Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The previous few times when Feng Twelve gave her things, it should be to take care of her self-esteem. They all said that they would be deducted from her reward money. It was acceptable once or twice, but if it happened too many times, especially such a valuable thing, it would inevitably become hot in her hands.

If it is a reward from the palace, it is a different matter. Spending the emperor's money is equivalent to getting overtime allowance, so it is not a pity.

She carefully picked up a teacup. The green porcelain was as thin as a flower petal, with curled leaf patterns on the inside of the cup. A sleeping bird was squatting on a branch, looking very cute.

She held the teacup in both hands, turning it around and around, unable to let it go.

"Like?" a voice asked.

"Yeah." Fang Tong nodded, only to realize that the voice asking her was wrong, not Lu Tao.

She looked up and saw Feng Twelve standing beside her, looking down at her.

She was surprised for a moment, then stood up and smiled at him: "I haven't congratulated your highness on becoming king yet."

She was still holding the teacup in her hand. Feng Twelve saw it and stretched out his hand towards her with his palm facing up.

Fang Tong didn't understand what he meant, but still put the teacup in his palm.

Feng Twelve held the teacup in one hand and turned it slightly between his fingers: "I saw this tea set and thought you might like it."

He had seen her room in his dream. There was a wooden shelf in the corner of her room with colorful cups hanging on the shelf. Although the styles of those cups were very different from what he saw in daily life, he guessed that she probably liked tea sets.

Fang Tong stared at his fingers intently, afraid that he would accidentally drop the teacup.

Seeing this, Feng Twelve chuckled and said, "Do you like it that much?"

Fang Tong's eyes followed his hand until he put the teacup on the table, and then his expression relaxed.

"I have never seen such a pattern before. The craftsman must have spent a lot of effort on it. It would be a pity if it were broken."

The objects awarded by the palace should be from the royal kiln. The products of the royal kiln are extraordinary. Not to mention their value, the labor cost alone is difficult to measure. Every piece in this box can be called a unique piece. She has not used them yet, so how could she bear to let them break.

Seeing that her eyes were glued to the table, Feng Twelve could not help but say, "You may like her, but don't worship her."

Fang Tong smiled at him and said, "How could that be? Good things are meant to be used. Otherwise, how can we justify the hard work of the craftsmen and the reward from His Highness?"

As she spoke, her tone became playful. Feng Twelve could tell she was joking with him and smiled, "When you buy a house in the future, you will have to buy household items. Consider these boxes of items as my advance congratulations on your move."

After he finished speaking, he winked at Lu Tao, who understood and stepped back.

Hearing the door close, Feng Twelve took out a stack of banknotes and a purse from his arms and handed them to Fang Tong.

Fang Tong recognized this purse. Feng Twelve had given her a silver ingot before. She had spent some of it on eating and drinking in Guzhou, and the rest of the loose change was in the bag.

This time when she returned to Beijing as a cat, she gave the purse to Feng Twelve for safekeeping. As for the banknotes -

Fang Tong blinked several times: "Are they all mine?"

Feng Twelve nodded silently and moved the silver in his hand closer to her: "Here are a total of 800 taels of silver notes, enough for you to find a good location in Beijing and buy a small courtyard. You don't have to sign a contract to work for anyone, and you don't have to worry about your future livelihood." Fang Tong took the silver and looked at the number on the note. She should have been happy, but for some reason she couldn't be happy.

Feng Twelve was a little abnormal today. He first gave her the reward from the palace, then congratulated her on her new house, and even took the initiative to give her the reward money. Did he mean that he wanted her to pack up and leave?
She believed that Feng Twelve was not doing this to chase anyone away, so why was he so anxious?

"Did you encounter anything when you entered the palace today?" Fang Tong asked with concern.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. The emperor has always been not very close to Feng Twelve, and suddenly he made him a prince. Even if he had made great contributions in protecting the emperor, this canonization was too hasty.

Feng Twelve saw the concern in Fang Tong's eyes, lowered his eyes and smiled: "I am going on a long journey, and I am afraid that you will be bored alone, so I will give you the banknote first. During this period of time, you can go around in Beijing and find a house you like."

"You gave me the banknote, aren't you afraid that I would be cheated or targeted by others?" Fang Tong asked deliberately.

"You are very smart and won't be fooled so easily." Feng Twelve looked down at her, "Take Lu Tao with you when you go out. She knows Kung Fu and is familiar with the capital."

Hearing his instructions, Fang Tong raised her hand and touched her hair bun. She had been in the mansion for so long, but she didn't know that even the maids knew how to fight. She thought Lu Tao was only good at combing hair.

Feng Twelve's gaze fell on the top of her head and saw the new hairpin she was wearing, and stayed there for a while.

When he entered the room, he found that she had a new hairstyle today. A few bright red corals dotted her black hair, and a crabapple hairpin swayed lightly, blooming vividly on her temples.

There seemed to be a little rouge on her lips, a light red and warm glow.

Feng Twelve withdrew his gaze and moved it toward the window. It was getting close to evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky seemed to be covered with burning brocade, shining like gold.

He was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "The weather is nice today, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Faced with this sudden question, Fang Tong was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"Where do you want to go?" Feng Twelve asked back.

Fang Tong thought about it seriously: "The capital is too big, I can't think of where to go for the time being."

"Then let's just take a walk," Feng Twelve said casually, "I'll show you the scenery of the capital."

Fang Tong smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that when I turned into a cat, I went out with you a few times?"

"Then do you still want to go?" Feng Twelve asked.

Fang Tong looked down at his outfit and raised his eyebrows: "Yes."

She had yet to tour the capital as a human being, something she had wanted to do when she first arrived.

Feng Twelve raised the corner of his lips and said, "Then let's go."

"Okay, wait for me."

Fang Tong came to the bed, stuffed the banknotes into the pillow, thought for a while, then took out another one and put it in his arms.

"I'll host you tonight to celebrate your becoming a prince." She tossed the purse in her hand and suddenly remembered something. "Can I have you tonight?"

"why not?"

"You have just been canonized, and there must be many people coming to congratulate you. Logically, you should stay in the mansion to entertain the guests." Fang Tong said.

"No one will congratulate us," Feng Twelve said calmly, "even if there is, it won't be today."
