Pei Yuqing took off the jade pendant and handed it to the waiter.

She didn't have that much money on her, and she had never thought that it would cost so much to coax a child.

"I am Princess Yuqing of Xili Kingdom. Go to the inn and ask Feng Hao for the money."

The waiter took the jade pendant and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Pei Yuqing was about to pull Jingyou away, but unexpectedly, while she was talking to the waiter, Jingyou set his eyes on something else.

A wine jug with a mechanism that can produce two kinds of wine.

A dagger and sword that can be retracted and can spurt blood.

A sword that can be as flexible as a belt and as hard as iron with a shake.

……

The treasures on the third floor of Xuanji Pavilion are truly eye-opening.

But it is more troublesome to bring a child along... because he wants this and that.

Pei Yuqing felt that spending tens of thousands of dollars to coax his child was the limit.

But she didn't expect that the child had such a big appetite!

He wouldn't even look at anything worth less than eight thousand taels.

The things he picked were extremely rare and exquisite, and of course, most importantly, expensive!

Pei Yuqing felt that if she didn't take the child away from Xuanji Pavilion, she might not be able to get the 100,000 taels!

Although she was a princess, the money she had at her disposal was less than 100,000 taels!

Beili is indeed rich! Even Kyoto dares to sell things at such a high price!

Pei Yuqing looked coldly at the waiter... She suspected that the waiter saw that she was the princess of Xili Kingdom and deliberately quoted a high price to her!

But at a glance, the waiter immediately understood what she was thinking, "Don't get me wrong, sir. The things on our third floor are priced this way, and it's the same price for everyone."

"Because if these things are to be sold, they must be registered with the court. Each item is polished piece by piece by an experienced craftsman. Slow work produces fine work."

"There aren't many of these things. For many things, there's only one of each in the country. Once they're sold, they're gone. That's why ordinary people aren't allowed to come up to the third floor."

"It is to leave the fine products to those who know the goods and have the ability."

Pei Yuqing's mouth twitched.

The way this Beili person speaks is just annoying. He praises her so highly that she has no chance to talk back.

"Okay, Jingyou. Good things should be collected slowly." Pei Yuqing pulled Jingyou out, "If you buy too much, it will be hard to report to your parents."

Jingyou grinned, "It doesn't matter. I'm going to give this to Young Master Wang, this to Young Master Cui, and this to Yang Qian."

Pei Yuqing paused.

what?

Using the things she bought with her own money to offer as a token of appreciation?

He took these things, not to keep them for himself, but to give them to others?

"Auntie gave it to me, right? After giving it to me, I can decide how to use it, right?" Jingyou looked up and asked her cautiously.

Pei Yuqing felt a tightness in her chest and she felt a little short of breath.

Children are so annoying!

Why did she think that she could coax Song Mingli's child over? And beat Song Mingli?

Pei Yuqing swallowed a mouthful of blood and forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Of course, you can decide!"

"Thank you, auntie! You are so nice to Jingyou! I will tell daddy when I get back that you are a very good person! You are very nice to Jingyou!" Jingyou cheered.

Pei Yuqing closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

This is more like it, and the money is not wasted.

She looked at the list written by the shopkeeper. In the blink of an eye, Jingyou had spent 50,000 taels.

Pei Yuqing just felt dizzy and dazed!

Originally, Pei Yuqing thought that if he took the child to eat something delicious, bought some candied haws and some candy figurines, he would be able to appease him.

All in all, it was no more than a hundred taels.

Who would have thought that this kid was such a spendthrift? He came straight to Xuanji Pavilion!

At this moment, Pei Yuqing no longer had the heart to take him out to eat. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and just wanted to send him back to Prince Jing's Mansion as soon as possible.

Then, send him to see Prince Jing.

Let this kid speak well of her in front of Prince Jing and step on Song Mingli.

Let the child complain about how Song Mingli detained him and treated him badly... Only then will today's good deed be considered complete.

"Is your mother good to you on weekdays?"

In the carriage, Pei Yuqing patiently guided him on how to speak in front of Prince Jing later.

Jingyou looked at her with his big, watery eyes. "My mother was very strict with me. She is not as easy to talk to as my aunt."

Of course.

Pei Yuqing smiled, "I'm afraid he's trying to use you to win favor because he's so strict with you at such a young age."

"You are such a lovely child, but you have become a tool for your mother to win her favor. How pitiful."

Jingyou tilted his head and said, "Aunt is right. I will tell father later."

Pei Yuqing smiled even more and raised his hand to touch his head lovingly.

But Jingyou dodged quickly.

He frowned and looked at Pei Yuqing, "Auntie is so beautiful, but there is a difference between men and women."

Pei Yuqing: ...

When you held my hand and asked me to buy you something from Xuanji Pavilion, why didn't you mention the difference between men and women?

You are just a little kid, how do you know what the difference between men and women is?

Pei Yuqing was speechless for a while, but it didn't matter.

Waited to Prince Jing’s Mansion... hehe.

The carriage stopped and the Prince Jing's mansion had arrived as promised.

Jingyou jumped off the carriage without waiting for anyone to pick him up or even waiting for the driver to put up the horse stool.

As soon as he got off the car, he called the servant from the palace.

"Here, this is the gift I'm giving to Wang Shierlang, Cui Shiwu, and Yang Qian. Please help me deliver it."

After Jingyou gave his instructions, he turned around and waved to Pei Yuqing.

"Thank you, auntie. Jingyou had a lot of fun today. Goodbye, auntie."

Pei Yuqing's mouth twitched.

Want to say goodbye now? Then wouldn't her money be wasted?

Pei Yuqing forced a stiff smile and got out of the car and walked to the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Come on, I'll take you in, so your father won't blame you." Pei Yuqing said.

Jingyou blinked his beautiful big eyes, "Why would father blame me?"

Pei Yuqing frowned, "You didn't come back home after school, but went out to play, and bought such expensive things. Your father didn't know what was going on, so he naturally blamed you."

"Don't worry, Auntie will explain it to you."

Jingyou shook his head, "No, Jingyou has his own mouth and will explain it clearly."

"The gift was given to me by my aunt herself. Father won't blame me!"

"My father is getting married soon, and there is no mistress at home yet. It is inappropriate for aunt to come here like this. It will be bad for the reputation of aunt and my father, so please stay."

Pei Yuqing's eyes and eyebrows were twitching.

what?

She spent fifty thousand taels of silver on this kid, but this kid wouldn't even let her into Prince Jing's mansion?

"Aunt gave you such an expensive gift, but you didn't even let me in. This is so rude!" Pei Yuqing said coldly, "Is this what your mother taught you?"

Jingyou tilted his head, looking innocent, "Isn't the gift a meeting gift that you insisted on giving? You didn't negotiate any conditions before giving the gift?"

Pei Yuqing's mouth twitched. At this moment, she suddenly felt like she was being tricked by this six or seven-year-old child.

But then she thought, he’s just a little kid…she must be overthinking it.

"I'm not negotiating terms. Auntie will take you back and explain it to you!"

Jingyou looked at her with clear eyes and suddenly asked, "You want to get close to my father by getting close to me, right?"
