Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 316 You know it!

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, someone immediately stood in front of Shu Xiaoxiao to protect her.

Unexpectedly, this one sentence made everyone present nervous. Shu Xiaoxiao even touched her nose embarrassedly.

"Oh, this is too scary, little darling, you have to protect me! I haven't done anything bad, you know that!" Bai Shu's voice was a little out of tune, and it was clear that the situation he was facing was indeed a little scary.

Shu Xiaoxiao: This was a bit of a misunderstanding, but it can be seen that since it is the imperial palace, the guards are pretty good.

Shu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her hands: "I... that's not what I meant. I said something wrong. It seems like there is something buried under this tree. Can we... can we dig it up and have a look?"

Emperor Jingming said directly: "Come on, dig!" He wanted to see what was buried underground in the Qianqing Palace.

Following the emperor's order, the guards quickly brought shovels and started digging!

"My dear, you have to let them see clearly, but they must not dig me up! We agreed on that." Seeing the aggressive guards, Bai Shu spoke quickly. If he spoke slowly, these vicious guards might dig him up completely.

Shu Xiaoxiao also hurried over and shouted, "Dig slowly, don't hurt the tree."

After he realized something was wrong, he quickly turned around and tried to explain to the emperor, "I... I just think this tree is growing well. It would be a pity if it fell down."

It seems a bit inappropriate to make a fuss in front of the emperor and act on your own.

The emperor didn't care. Seeing Shu Xiaoxiao's expression, he chuckled and said, "Listen, Master Ye, don't hurt the tree."

"Master Ye, please come to me. It's too dusty there. Don't get your clothes dirty."

After all, she is a little girl and should care about these things. Besides, who knows what is buried underground and it would be bad if someone gets hurt.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that they became more cautious and started to dig the tiles next to them, Shu Xiaoxiao returned to her master following the sound of Bai Shu's long sigh.

With the emperor's order, the guards were extra careful with the cypress tree and tried to dig around it. They would not cut it down unless they had to go around it. But these were minor problems. After digging out the things, they would bury them in the soil and add some ginseng water and it would recover in a few days.

The guard acted quickly. In just a few breaths, he noticed the foreign object and moved more carefully. Shu Xiaoxiao and her group were sitting not far away and watching closely.

Eunuch Fu had quickly moved the tables and chairs, and waited for everyone to sit down, waiting for the guards to dig out some treasure.

There are boxes one after another underground. After hundreds of years of erosion, the boxes have basically not changed much. It seems that even the boxes are good things.

But after all, it was buried by the emperor, and anything used was good. This box should not be a big deal in their eyes.

Not to mention Principal Chu, even the emperor was very surprised. He didn't know when so many things were buried in the Qianqing Palace.

As the first box was opened, the treasures inside reappeared. Although over a hundred years had passed, most of the things inside were still dazzling, probably because they were protected by the boxes. Although some things were a little gray, it did not affect their value at all, and they looked worth a lot of silver.

Principal Chu picked up an exquisite dragon-shaped ornament and examined it carefully. When he saw a certain mark, he affirmed, "This is something from the previous dynasty."

The emperor also checked carefully and said, "It is indeed something from the previous dynasty. A hundred years ago, my grandfather attacked the palace and the storehouse was almost empty. The emperor did not have much property. At that time, my grandfather thought that the emperor had moved to another place in advance or that someone had misappropriated the property. He searched for a long time but could not find any trace. I did not expect that it had been buried under our feet all along."

He looked at the guards who were still digging and said in a deep voice: "Dig out everything!"

Shu Xiaoxiao took a careful look at the things in the box. It was worthy of being a royal product. The things inside looked valuable. Fortunately, her mansion had received many gifts from the emperor, her parents, her elder brother, and her senior brothers. She was a person who had seen the world. The things in her mansion were enough to open two museums in modern times. If she had seen these things when she first came to this world, she would definitely be able to look at them all day long without blinking an eye.

As for now, she looked away after taking a look. I am also a person who owns a lot of good things and I am not greedy for these. Instead, because of this matter, she seems to have found a way to make money without any investment!

There seem to be quite a few uninhabited mansions in Kyoto. If you have time, you can go and take a look around. You may not necessarily find any treasures there.

While Shu Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, the emperor asked kindly, "Do you like it, Master Ye? If you like it, feel free to pick one. It's nice to have it as a toy to enjoy."

Through this incident, the emperor became more certain of the fact that Shu Xiaoxiao was the lucky star of Daning. Look, Lord Ye only came to the palace once and found the treasure that the royal family had been looking for for decades. And all these things, she is indeed a lucky star for Daning!

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I just wanted to take a look out of curiosity. Your Majesty has rewarded me with many treasures. You can keep them for the benefit of the people." Shu Xiaoxiao said modestly.

"Haha, just take what I give you, but these have been buried underground for a long time, so they may not be very clean. I will pick out some better ones for you in the warehouse later. These are not rare."

As more and more boxes were dug out, Emperor Jingming was obviously in a good mood. This was another windfall!

Lord Ye not only brought prosperity to Daning, but also to him. After meeting Lord Ye, not only did his body become healthier, but his fortune also continued. Although the emperor sat on the throne of the world and was above millions of people, he was still a human being. Everyday life required money, including eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. The court, the people, and the army also needed money. The emperor needed money in more places. In a sense, he needed money more than ordinary people.

The royal family also needs to have surplus food to feel more at ease! So Lord Ye was very happy to be able to bring him money.

Not only did he reward Shu Xiaoxiao with gifts, he also gave her a token that allowed her to enter and exit the palace at will. You should know that this token is not an ordinary badge. With it, one can enter and exit the palace without a permit and can just wait outside the palace for the permit.

Just like this time when they entered the palace, with this token, they no longer had to wait outside the palace and could go directly into the palace. When they arrived at the palace, the emperor was generally ready to meet them, so it could be said that no time was wasted.

The number of people in the entire court who possessed this token did not exceed five digits. After all, in the ancient feudal dynasties, waiting, especially waiting for the highest-ranking emperor, was not worth mentioning.

Although I don't know if this token can be used, after all, the current imperial palace is not a modern tourist attraction where you can come in and stroll around and enjoy the scenery when you have nothing to do. The current imperial palace is the pinnacle of power. In other places, there is a scene every three steps and a painting every five steps, but here, there is a kneeling every three steps and a conspiracy every five steps.

As soon as she came in, she had to pin her head to her belt, for fear that she wouldn't be able to get out. So Shu Xiaoxiao thought it was no big deal, and she wouldn't take the initiative to come in and kneel down.
