Repeating the same old tricks? But she, Qiao Qingqing, is not a vegetarian!
Qiao Qingqing faced Qiao Qianqian's condescending look and blinked her eyes in a pretentious manner, her eyes full of hope:
"So, does the remaining one-third of my grandfather's family property want to be used as a dowry for me?"
"You think beautifully!"
Qiao Qianqian pinched her waist with her hands and said arrogantly, "That's my dowry."
"You don't need it," Qiao Qingqing waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "Just a concubine and a sedan carried into the prince's mansion from the side door. There is no need for three matchmakers and six hires."
"you……"
Qiao Qianqian's blood rushed to the top of his head, and his face instantly became ferocious.
But when she opened her mouth, she seemed to think that was what happened, so there was anger stuck in her throat, and she couldn't express it or not.
Qiao Qingqing smiled and added fuel to the fire, "So, you might as well give it to me. I want to marry the prince, and I need a dowry more than you do."
"who do you think You Are?"
Qiao Qianqian couldn't hold back her face anymore, so she could only say what she said indiscriminately, "The second sister and the eldest sister are both legitimate daughters, so the dowry will naturally be generous. You are a concubine, and you still want to show off? How big is your face?"
"Where is my favor in this? Your grandfather prepared generous dowries for the eldest sister and the second sister. That is because he pays attention to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."
Having said this, Qiao Qingqing turned to look at Jun Muxi, pretending to be puzzled and said:
"Brother Xi, I think my grandfather will give me the last third of the family property as a dowry, otherwise he will look down on you? You fight in the northern border and protect the people. If my grandfather doesn't value you, then it will be really bad.
An out-and-out white-eyed wolf..."
He said this without forgetting a sly wink.
Jun Muxi didn't seem to expect that the girl who was vain and competitive in her previous life would now have a different temperament, and she didn't know how to respond.
After Qiao Qianqian listened, she rolled her eyes and sneered:
"Humph, if you want my grandpa to prepare a dowry for you, it also depends on whether you are worthy. Qiao Qingqing, you are a concubine. My mother is gone and the family has no backer. The prince has so many soldiers to support, how much dowry will he pay to marry him?
You? Since ancient times, dowry and betrothal gift have been equal..."
The fox's tail finally couldn't be hidden...
Qiao Qingqing pretended to consider it for a moment, "You are right, the prince is honest and dedicated to serving the public, so he will definitely not be able to give much as a betrothal gift..."
The prince seized the opportunity and finally spoke, "If the emperor really has Sister Qiao in his heart, he will find a way to give you a decent treatment, right, uncle?"
"I will do my best."
Jun Muxi looked with interest at the girl beside him who was acting unconventionally, and a look of endearment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
However, the prince's provocation was far more than that.
"try my best?"
He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and smiled:
"If your uncle is in trouble, I can do my best..."
"Okay!" Qiao Qingqing agreed, "His Royal Highness is the future crown prince, and the 'exerting a little bit of effort' you mentioned must be a lot of money..."
Everyone was startled!
The prince's original intention was to use this to force Jun Muxi to make a promise. He didn't really want to do his best. According to the routine, even if Jun Muxi didn't refuse, Qiao Qingqing, as his future wife, would feel that
My face is dull...
After all, getting a wife requires help, which is unacceptable to any woman who is about to get married.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the prince could only cough lightly and said, "Father advocates frugality, not to mention, I also have to give an explanation to Xiaoxiao..."
"Since you advocate frugality, then don't bother," Qiao Qingqing waved her hand and curled her lips at Qiao Qian, "Let your grandfather collect the family property, and don't flatter him by then."
Come and cause trouble."
Without waiting for Qiao Qianqian to retaliate, he continued, "My emperor is wise, I, Qiao Qingqing, strongly agree with frugality, so when the prince makes appointments, he should follow the lowest standards of the people of Kyoto."
Qiao Qianqian opened her mouth in disbelief, "You are a person who talks about money every day, but you are talking nonsense here, and you only want the minimum betrothal gift? Who are you kidding?"
"Because the prince and I are childhood sweethearts, and we have enough love to drink!"
Qiao Qingqing avoided the prince's gaze, raised her arms above her head, and made a big heart sign to Jun Muxi.
Seeing that Qiao Qianqian was still barking, Qiao Qingqing pinched her index finger and thumb together, playfully made a zipper movement, and said lightly, "There is a bagpipe coming from the distance."
This is a very obscure curse word on the Internet, which means to tell Qiao Qianqian to "go away".
[Lin Xiao, your curse words are getting more and more advanced now.]
It happened that a flute sounded not far away, and everyone's attention was attracted by the music for a while, and the smoke finally stopped.
[Congratulations to the host, for preventing Jun Muxi from using the gold mine, and will be rewarded with an overtime card for writing.]
"Extra time card for writing? Then I have another chance?"
Qiao Qingqing was thinking, and a bold idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
[Host, I advise you to abide by the law. If you use the writing overtime card to write a car, other than being locked up in a "little black room" and deleted, it will not advance the plot in any way. 】
"That's a good persuasion. Don't try to persuade me again next time."
After discussing some details of climbing during the Double Ninth Festival, everyone headed back.
Qiao Qingqing said something to Qiao Lianyi, and gave Qiao Qianqian a blank look before returning to her courtyard.
My aunt had already returned home early and was soundly asleep.
Qiao Qingqing pushed open the door to her bedroom, and just as she turned around to close the door, she saw a man wearing bright yellow sleeves raising his hand to block the crack of the door.
Under the moonlight, a regular and resolute face suddenly came into view.
"Oh mo!"
Qiao Qingqing hurriedly covered her eyes with her hands, but the prince grabbed her arm and pulled her forward!
The moment their eyes met, Qiao Qingqing even thought about where to bury herself next.
"Sister Qiao only smiles when she sees new people, but doesn't cry when she hears old people cry, huh?"
The prince raised his hand to hold Qiao Qingqing's cheeks, walked into the bedroom, and closed the door behind him.
"If you have something to say, please say it, but don't do anything..."
Huh? No, why is she not as flattering as before?
"Am I angry?"
Qiao Qingqing immediately woke up Gugu.
[It’s a beautiful idea. You are testing the waters, and Wenwen has given you some exposure.]
"...It's better than being manipulated by the original owner!"
After making up her mind, Qiao Qingqing lowered her voice and called softly, "Brother Prince, please be gentle. If your second sister finds out, she will be angry..."
"She won't." The prince raised his chin.
Qiao Qingqing looked around. Outside the open window, Qiao Xiaoxiao was sitting comfortably on the swing in the courtyard, taking in everything in the room.
"How...how did you get in?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Qiao Qingqing felt that it was a bit redundant.
The entire Prime Minister's Palace is the prince's minions. What does he want to do and where does he want to go? Isn't it easy?
The prince ignored her inquiry and said with a gloomy face, "Qiao Qingqing, you are so brave!"
