Although the Song family was in a state of decline, they still had everything they needed when marrying a daughter off, ranging from the furniture in the house to every stitch and thread.
The "Children's Bucket" is naturally included in it.
The name sounds nice, but in fact it's just a prank used by the emperor.
Xiao Ci's face turned livid when he heard this, and he looked at Song Qinghuan with a somewhat unkind look.
Song Qinghuan's expression did not change, but if you look closely, you can see the starlight in his eyes.
"What do you think, Your Majesty, please think about it?"
Xiao Ci curled his lips and smiled: "You are so lucky that you are thinking of nothing."
As he spoke, he reached out and hit her on the head, and said firmly: "Let me choose, otherwise there will be no discussion."
Song Qinghuan felt pain and groaned while covering her forehead.
There were indeed some good things in her dowry. If Xiao Ci took them away, I would definitely feel heartbroken.
Then he hummed softly: "When it comes to empty-handed white wolves, who can be more powerful than Uncle Jiu?"
Speaking of this, her momentum became a little higher: "Uncle Jiu, don't forget, the IOU you wrote to me is still with me and has not been cashed out. This time, you are trying every possible way to defraud me of my dowry. You can't find it anywhere in the world."
This is the second prince who knows how to calculate things like you."
Song Qinghuan didn't say anything, and Xiao Ci didn't even remember what happened.
I was stunned for a moment, and when I saw her careful calculation, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and nodded at her: "You little money man."
Song Qinghuan was afraid of being beaten again, so she stayed away from him and snorted coldly: "Uncle Jiu, think about it for yourself, will you exchange the IOU with me today, or will you go out of your way to run for me?"
It looked like he was flattering Xiao Ci by asking him to do things for him.
Xiao Ci was amused. He sat up straight and looked at her: "So, I really have to work hard on this trip."
He added: "After all, one thousand taels of gold is not that easy to earn."
One thousand taels of gold, just thinking about it makes my body ache.
Song Qinghuan gritted his teeth and nodded: "One thousand taels of gold is worth it for Uncle Jiu to run a leg for me."
She still made the distinction very clearly. No matter how much a thousand taels of gold were, if you didn't get it, it was just nonsense, so it was better to give it up and keep what she had in her pocket.
Xiao Ci's eyes moved, but he agreed rationally: "It's good that you know."
He knew that this girl from the Song family was very protective of money. He said, "It's very easy to find someone. Tell me, what should I do if I find someone? Should I bring him back?"
Song Qinghuan suppressed the joke on his face and said in a deep voice: "Tell me the situation first and then make plans."
Xiao Ci nodded, but his eyes fell on Song Qinghuan's face, and he said after a while: "You are not the eldest lady of the Song family."
Song Qinghuan's heart suffocated and she clenched her fists fiercely.
...
Xiao Ci is a man with strong mobility, and he left in a short time under the cover of night.
Song Qinghuan sat cross-legged, his heart beating wildly, and he had no sleep at all.
Xiao Ci's question just now seemed unintentional and deliberate. Although Song Qinghuan did not respond to him, he also felt that this person seemed to have doubts about his identity.
But I don’t know what that question actually means.
An hour later, there was another faint sound of breaking from the window coffin.
Song Qinghuan sat up suddenly while lying on the bed, took the cloak at hand and covered herself, then her calm heart began to beat wildly again.
In the days to come, whether he will live freely or live alone in this palace all depends on whether he can win this battle.
The window coffin knocked twice, but no one came in.
A woman's delicate voice was heard: "The girl in the house is the Song family girl."
Song Qinghuan frowned and leaned against the window coffin without stretching out his hand. He just asked, "Who is it?"
"The servant came to the girl in the name of the master to collect the IOU." The cold wind outside was biting, so Chun Niang stretched out her hand to push the window coffin, and then she turned over and entered the house.
Suddenly the room was filled with aroma.
Song Qinghuan had never seen this Chun Niang, and she didn't know if she was Xiao Ci's person. He just looked at her warily and asked, "What kind of IOU? Where did it come from?"
Chun Niang didn't expect that Song Qinghuan, a girl in the boudoir, was very vigilant. She smiled coquettishly and said: "One thousand taels of gold, signed by Ruo."
The seal on the IOU was indeed "Yan Ruo". Although Song Qinghuan believed that Chun Niang was Xiao Ci's person, he was still a little wary.
Chun Niang didn't mind either, she had experienced much more than Song Qinghuan, and she had never seen anything like this.
Holding the handkerchief and raising it, she took two graceful steps forward: "We are in Yi Zhuang on the outskirts of the city. In addition to the girl's personal maids, there are also the master and servants of the Song family."
"Master said, one thousand taels of gold is no small matter, and we won't take advantage of you. If you have an order, and the slave family can handle it, please give it to me."
"Song Youyu?" Song Qinghuan looked shocked, obviously not expecting that Song Youyu was also arrested.
But why didn't the Song family send her a message?
Song Qinghuan bit her lip, her brows and eyes filled with anger. She didn't expect that he would act so viciously.
Chun Niang looked around at the furnishings in the room and was waiting for Song Qinghuan's instructions. Seeing that she was silent for a long time, she added: "Speaking of which, His Highness the King of Yi also had such a hobby at some time. He even slept in the middle of the night.
In Yizhuang."
...
Before dawn, Princess Yi suddenly ordered people to prepare horses, saying she was going to Yizhuang on the outskirts of the city, which really surprised people.
Yao Yuechan heard the news while half asleep, yawned and smiled.
Rushuang stood by the couch and whispered: "Girl, I see that the prince also hates the princess. This time the princess suddenly wants to go to the outskirts of the city, we might as well help the prince."
A plain white hand touched his neck, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"No." Yao Yuechan bit her lip and refused, asking Rushuang to help her sit up: "The prince has told me that the situation is chaotic now, and I can't mess around anymore, otherwise he won't be able to protect me by then."
But her eyes were full of coldness. She didn't want Song Qinghuan to die. She simply wanted her to die more than anyone else.
But if she fails once or twice, if she continues to be disobedient, she will probably lose a handful of rice if she fails to steal the chicken. Not only will she not kill Song Qinghuan, but she will also lose Xiao Wei's love for her.
"No way." Rushuang refused to give up: "The prince has always loved the girl very much, and he would not do it for someone who hates him..."
"You don't understand." Yao Yuechan interrupted: "Now that the situation in the court is unclear, we cannot keep a high profile. We must be cautious."
"Besides, despite all the moves I made, I didn't do well. Instead, I suffered such a big loss..."
Ru's face was stiff, he said a few words and helped Yao Yuechan to sleep before going out.
Digging her nails into her palms, she sneered and said sarcastically in her heart: "Coward."
There was poison in her eyes, a ferocious look on her face, and she disappeared into the night soon.
