Chapter 1891 - 200: The Nine Treasures of the Treasury

9:00 a.m -11:00 a.m.

Jiang Ning lay under the shade of a large tree, his eyes slightly narrowed, feeling the gentle breeze blowing from the lake.

Tap, tap, tap—

Hurried footsteps, from afar to near.

Jiang Ning slightly raised his eyes and saw a figure in green appear in his courtyard.

"Young Master!" Lv Yi said softly upon seeing Jiang Ning’s gaze.

"What is it?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Young Master, someone from the Imperial Palace has come outside the residence!" Lv Yi’s voice fell.

In the next moment.

She saw Jiang Ning’s recliner under the tree disappear, and then he appeared in front of her.

"Let’s go!" Jiang Ning’s eyes revealed a sparkle at this moment.

He knew that the reward from today’s court meeting had been issued to him.

And with these resources, he would have further resources.

As he pondered in his heart, he had already set out.

Seeing this, Lv Yi hurriedly followed behind him, jogging to keep up.

A moment later.

Passing through the central courtyard, through the corridor, and through the front yard, he saw several horse-drawn carriages with boxes stopped at the front of the residence.

"Greetings, King Luoshui!" A courageous young general in bright silver armor saw Jiang Ning, immediately strode forward, and respectfully saluted Jiang Ning.

"Greetings, Prince!" The present Minister of Rites also clasped his hands towards Jiang Ning and bowed with respect.

"Greetings, King Luoshui!!"

"Greetings, King Luoshui!!"

"Greetings, King Luoshui!!"

"..."

The accompanying Forbidden Army, who came along with the convoy, all kneeled on one knee and saluted Jiang Ning.

"Everyone is too kind! No need for so much courtesy." Jiang Ning said.

At that moment, his gaze had already fallen on the iron boxes on the carriages.

Noting Jiang Ning’s gaze, the Minister of Rites stepped forward at once.

"Prince, ten boxes of rare minerals, ten boxes of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, five boxes of various precious pills, please step forward to inspect."

Hearing these words, Jiang Ning’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and his powerful Divine Thought penetrated through the sealed iron boxes, sweeping through all of them in an instant.

"No need!" He then shook his head and said, "I trust the Holy Emperor, the Holy Emperor would never deceive me!"

The Minister of Rites also smiled towards Jiang Ning.

Then cautiously took out a few golden notes from his sleeve.

Unlike other gold notes.

At this moment, the gold notes in the hands of the Minister of Rites were woven from countless fine threads, but to the eye, it appeared as a flawless golden thin sheet, with the right side stamped with the Imperial Family’s seal.

"Prince, this is an exclusive gold note from the Imperial Family, each gold note is worth ten thousand gold coins, and can be exchanged at the Royal Bank, or any of the four major banks."

"The four major banks will all recognize this gold note issued by the Imperial Family."

"Anyone holding this gold note, as long as its authenticity is verified, can go to the Royal Bank to exchange for ten thousand gold coins."

Hearing the Minister of Rites’ words, Jiang Ning nodded.

Receiving the three gold notes handed over by the Minister of Rites, then scanning them with his eyes, he had a clear understanding in his heart.

This was a gold note woven from precisely ten thousand gold threads.

But in the naked eye, it was impossible to see.

It appeared as a whole golden thin sheet.

And these gold threads had a purity above ninety-nine.

Either of these aspects alone was enough to fend off all counterfeit items.

Not to mention the unique imperial seal.

Simultaneously, such gold notes circulated very rarely in the market, even if someone could perfectly counterfeit it, once it circulated even slightly, it would be detected by the Imperial Family.

"Much obliged, Lord Zhou!" Jiang Ning put the three gold notes in his bag and expressed his gratitude.

"The Prince is too courteous!" Minister of Rites Zhou Wenyuan respectfully opened his mouth to Jiang Ning and then said, "Prince, shall I let General Xie send these items bestowed by the Holy Emperor into the residence?"

Jiang Ning said, "Send them to Li Shui Palace."

"Yes, I understand, my lord!" The courageous young general in bright silver armor clasped his hands and cupped his fists to Jiang Ning.

"Prince, for the remaining three treasures, I ask the Prince to follow me to the Imperial Palace Vault." Minister of Rites Zhou Wenyuan said again.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Please, Prince, board the carriage." Minister of Rites Zhou Wenyuan motioned with a bow.

...

A moment later.

A four-horse carriage, exclusively used by the Imperial Family, carried Jiang Ning and Zhou Wenyuan towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.

"Prince, the celebratory banquet tonight is in Taihua Hall, is the Prince truly not interested in attending?" Inside the carriage, Zhou Wenyuan tentatively asked Jiang Ning.

"Did Ji Minghao ask you to inquire?" Jiang Ning looked at Zhou Wenyuan and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenyuan slightly lowered his eyes.

"Prince, as subjects, we should refrain from addressing the Holy Emperor by name directly!"

Jiang Ning gave Zhou Wenyuan a glance, then faintly smiled.

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Zhou!"

"A sovereign is a sovereign, a subject is a subject, the path of sovereign and subject, the Prince should refrain from overstepping!" Zhou Wenyuan said again.

Jiang Ning gave him another look, then slowly closed his eyes.

"Return and tell the Holy Emperor, that I do not like such noisy places, let the Holy Emperor eat well and drink well himself!"

"Yes, I understand, my lord!" Minister of Rites Zhou Wenyuan responded.

...

After a moment.

The four-horse carriage arrived at the Vermilion Bird Gate and slowly stopped.

"Greetings, Prince!" The carriage curtains lifted, and a fifty-year-old man with a goatee and a face full of wrinkles respectfully clasped his hands towards Jiang Ning.

"Ah, it is Minister Xie." Jiang Ning said.

The visitor was Xie Xun, the Minister, a second-rank official, who was above Minister Zhou Wenyuan.

"Prince, next, entering the Imperial Palace Vault, will be led by me." Xie Xun stood inside the carriage, saluted Jiang Ning who was seated.

The four-horse carriage, the interior was extremely spacious.

Even standing, Xie Xun was slim and tall, and there was still plenty of room between the top of the carriage and his head.
