Chapter 115: The Generous Prince Xie
Chapter 115: The Generous Prince Xie
Therefore, Ji Yuntang asked his servants to prepare today's dishes early and prepare a hotpot for them.
When Luo Qingge arrived, Ji Yuntang was coaxing the child in the West Garden. Little Qiyue in her arms was spitting bubbles of saliva and laughing non-stop because of the mermaid toy in Ji Yuntang's hand.
Luo Qingge saw the child in Ji Yuntang's arms at a glance. She rushed up in surprise and opened her mouth blankly.
"Third sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for only three days, and your and my third brother's child has grown so big already?"
The maid Linglan behind her almost fell to the ground when she heard this.
She knew that her princess was not very smart, but she didn't expect Luo Qingge to be so stupid.
How could this be the child of Princess Ye and Prince Ye?
The two have been married for just over a month. Even if they got married quickly, it is impossible for them to give birth to a seven or eight-month-old baby in such a short time.
I just wonder if Princess Ye will be angry when she hears this?
Linglan swallowed her saliva, feeling worried for her princess. She quietly raised her head and looked at Ji Yuntang, only to find that she was not angry. Instead, she smiled slightly and asked in a very good-tempered manner: "Does Qingge like children too?"
Luo Qingge's eyes lit up immediately and she nodded frantically, "I like them. As long as they are born by my third sister-in-law, I like them all."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
What's with her wolf-like eyes?
As if trying to snatch the child from her hands?
Before Ji Yuntang could speak, a magnetic and flamboyant male voice sounded.
"It's useless even if the Ninth Princess likes it. The child born to the Night Princess and His Royal Highness the Night King can't be given to you!"
"If the Ninth Princess likes children, she can have more with her husband."
Xie Liuzheng was wearing a purple brocade robe with cloud patterns today. The cuffs were embroidered with intricate patterns in gold thread. He held a folding fan in his hand. He had a handsome face, a golden crown and a jade belt, and a cynical smile on his lips. He walked to the side of Ji Yuntang and Luo Qingge and saluted with his fists.
"I greet Princess Ye and Princess Nine."
When Luo Qingge saw Xie Liuzheng, his anger instantly flared up.
"Why are you everywhere? Why are you haunting me?"
When Xie Liuzheng saw the girl's rosy face but angry expression, he inexplicably felt that she was somewhat cute.
He raised his lips slightly, raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, and said jokingly: "Thank you, Princess Nine, for your praise. This prince is grateful."
"It's just that I am still alive, not a ghost. If nothing unexpected happens, my ghost won't be able to disperse for the next sixty or seventy years. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Princess Nine."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
Luo Qingge: "..."
She had seen people with thick skin, but she had never seen someone as thick-skinned as this. She was very curious whether Xie Liuzheng's face was really like a city wall that even a sword could not pierce?
Luo Qingge raised her chin and said with a fake smile: "Thank you, Prince, for your eloquence. This princess admires you, but you should be humble. When others have opinions about you, you should listen to their opinions and then take a small notebook to write them down and see who has opinions about you."
"I have always been excellent, so it is unavoidable that I am envied by others. Only people who are inferior to me in every aspect like to gossip about others behind their backs, right?"
"Before this, I didn't listen to other people's opinions, but I am willing to listen to the Ninth Princess's opinions. I wonder if the Ninth Princess has anything else to teach me?"
"You..." Luo Qingge blushed and scolded: "You, you are so sharp-tongued and shameless!"
Xie Liuzheng: "..."
He was wronged!
He is just telling the truth, how can he be shameless?
It was obvious that Luo Qingge couldn't argue with him, and so she got angry!
Ji Yuntang saw that the two of them started fighting each other as soon as they met, and she thought to herself: Enemies often meet on a narrow road!
I don’t know whether it was right or wrong for her to call Luo Qingge and Xie Liuzheng together?
Ji Yuntang was afraid that the two would start fighting after arguing, so he hurried forward to stop the fight and separate them.
"Qingge, thank you, a gentleman should act rather than talk, both of you should say less."
Luo Qingge snorted proudly and rolled her eyes at Xie Liuzheng.
"How can he be a gentleman? He is not even remotely like a gentleman. In my opinion, he is just a sharp-tongued villain!"
Xie Liuzheng: "!!!"
It’s confirmed, this woman is his mortal enemy, and she’s here specifically to piss him off!
A good man does not fight with a woman. Luo Qingge is still young, so he endures it!
Xie Liuzheng suppressed her emotions, walked up to Ji Yuntang, and said politely: "Princess Ye, I'm so sorry to have made a fool of myself."
"This is the five thousand taels of silver I prepared for you. It will be regarded as the tuition fee for learning music from you. Please accept it. If it is not enough, please let me know and I will have someone get you more silver."
As he spoke, he glanced at his personal bodyguard Meng Fan, who immediately took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve. It looked as thick as a book, and was full of large-denomination silver bills worth hundreds and thousands of taels of silver.
Ji Yuntang: "!!!"
She widened her eyes slightly. He was worthy of being the prince of the Duke's Mansion. He was a truly rich man!
Compared with Xie Liuzheng, Ji Huaiche, the prince of Yongning Marquis's Mansion, the two are so different that they are not even in the same league.
Ji Yuntang suddenly felt that the people she was currently making friends with seemed very remarkable, and each one was richer than the other.
There is no need to talk about Luo Qingge. She is the daughter of the queen. Her grandfather is the current Taifu Su, a veteran of two dynasties, a first-rank official, and also the teacher of Emperor Jingyang and the prince. She has a wealthy family and it is impossible for her to be short of money.
Mr. Chai, also known as Chai Rufeng, is from one of the most prominent business families in Dongchen State. He has numerous business ventures spread across four countries. It is rumored that his assets are comparable to a national treasury, and he is a truly wealthy man.
And the pocket money Xie Liuzheng casually took out was enough to match what an ordinary person would earn in his entire life.
The tuition fee starts from five thousand taels of silver.
Each of them had an outrageously high net worth, which instantly made Ji Yuntang feel overwhelmed.
Ji Yuntang originally thought that she had made a small profit and became a wealthy woman, but now compared with them, the money she had was probably not enough to show for them.
But she has always been a person who knows how to motivate herself.
Just because she is poor now doesn't mean she will be poor in the future. As long as she makes good use of the space and seizes business opportunities, sooner or later she will become a big boss and count money without doing anything.
"Princess Ye, do you think another 10,000 taels of silver will be enough for you?"
Meng Fan had a sad face and held a thick stack of banknotes, which he handed over under the pressure of Xie Liuzheng's eyes.
Fifteen thousand taels of silver could buy a house outside, but their young master did this just to learn a song called Peach Blossom from Princess Ye. Recently, he has been humming the song all day long, even before going to bed.
This is the real prodigal!
