It was easy for Xie Niushan to pretend to be loyal and honest. Now, he was giving out good stuff again. The emperor looked at him and felt happy.
Xie Niushan was once an out-and-out bandit. He had thought that this bandit would not be able to make it to the grand hall, but he did not think that he was still honest. He was not greedy for power or money. His private vault was full from the gifts that he gave.
It was a good one.
Thinking about Prince Rong again, he was a little upset.
He had to do what he did with his identity.
Prince Rong's identity was important. He was a relative of the emperor. Even if the Xie family was the Crown Prince's external family, they were still officials. Yet, he was so eager to give such good stuff to the Xie family. Those who did not know better would think that he was trying to rope in the officials.
After so many years, Prince Rong only grew old, but he was still immature.
