He was forced to ask someone for a token, and when they asked him for it in turn, he said he accidentally destroyed it and said he would carve another one and give it back to them...
At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other in confusion. Even if they felt disdain for Prince Rui's actions in their hearts, no one would say anything.
The emperor's face didn't look good either, "Rui'er, you are so outrageous!"
Qi Rui said nothing with a dark face.
Mu Jinshi's expression did not change at all, but he said calmly, "That hairpin is carved using a lost craft. Not to mention the material, the carving alone is worth millions of dollars..."
"Humph, don't you just want money? I will give you money!"
"Hey, this hairpin was carved by my mother's own hands. Apart from this, I don't have anything else made by my mother as a souvenir. I insist on taking this hairpin back, not because it is precious, but because
For a souvenir! But now, this only thought is gone! Your Highness, Prince Rui, I want to ask again, is the hairpin really broken? Or..."
"Mu Jinshi, what do you mean? Do I still lie? You think I keep your things sparingly. If I say I broke them, I just broke them! Just tell me how much it costs and I will pay you.
"
"Is it really broken? It really makes me sad. I won't let His Highness compensate me for the cost of the hairpin, because it is priceless. But I am mentally depressed because I lost my mother's last souvenir, so Your Highness will compensate me for some mental losses.
Pay it."
"..." Prince Rui gritted his teeth, "How much?"
"Not much, this is the number." Mu Jinshi held out a finger.
Prince Rui frowned, "One thousand taels of silver?"
Mu Jinshi shook his head.
"Ten thousand taels of silver? You really have a big appetite! Huh, a greedy woman like you is really disgusting. Ten thousand taels of silver is just ten thousand taels of silver. Just take the money and get out."
"Rui'er!" The emperor's majestic gaze swept over him, and Qi Rui realized that he had actually been rude in front of the emperor.
"I deserve to die, my father. I was so angry that I lost my temper and spoke rudely. It is disrespectful to the emperor."
When the emperor looked at Mu Jin, he said, "Mu Jin, are you satisfied?"
Mu Jinshi shook his head, "Your Majesty, I will give His Highness Prince Rui ten thousand taels of silver. Can His Highness Prince Rui return the hairpin so that I can avoid mental suffering?"
Qi Rui frowned immediately, "I have already said that the hairpin is broken, how can I get it back?"
"Yes, it means that I have to suffer this kind of inner torture. No one can save me. Even ten thousand taels of silver can't save me!"
"Mu Jinshi, what do you mean? Ten thousand taels of silver is not enough. Your appetite is too big!"
Mu Jinshi ignored Prince Rui at all, and just said lightly, "Ten thousand taels of gold should be regarded as the mental compensation that His Highness Prince Rui gave me!"
"Gold! Why don't you go and grab it!" Prince Rui immediately jumped to his feet.
The ministers in the main hall also looked sideways. Ten thousand taels of gold was really too much!
Mu Jinshi smiled coldly, "Your Highness Prince Rui, you know better than anyone else that the material of that hairpin alone is worth ten thousand taels of gold, not counting the lost extreme carving skills! If the hairpin were taken out, the asking price would be one hundred thousand.
There are people vying to buy the gold!”
Mu Jinshi's eyes swept around Qi Rui's body with deep meaning.
