When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xiao Chan was about to say something when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Chan responded and opened the door.

It’s Qingyang.

"Miss Xiaochan, is Miss Xu here?"

Xu Xianyue came over and asked in confusion, "Qingyang, what do you want from me?"

A new clothing store will open in Kyoto in three days.

The ladies in Kyoto are all scrambling to book custom-made places. I wonder if you are interested in going forward to have a look. The prince has five custom-made places for five sets of clothing. He said that all of them are for Miss Xu. "

Xu Xinyue half-closed her eyes, as if she realized something.

This familiar recipe, familiar taste.

A familiar tactic of luring the tiger away from his mountain lair.

Xu Xinyue probably understood something.

Just when I was about to go to sleep, Qingyang brought me a pillow.

She already had a plan in mind.

Pretending to be innocent and surprised, she asked, "Really? Your Majesty, will you give me all of them? Can I order five sets?"

Qingyang saw her hesitate for a few moments just now and thought there was some flaw in his excuse.

Suddenly seeing Xu Xinyue's ecstatic expression, he breathed a sigh of relief:

He said that such a perfect excuse would be extremely tempting to any noble lady in Kyoto.

Sure enough, Miss Xu was also successfully seduced.

Qingyang nodded repeatedly and continued to add:

"That's right, there are two princesses in the palace, and there seem to be three vacancies in total.

Miss Xu, this opportunity cannot be missed!

Don't let down the prince's kindness!"

Xu Xinyue felt that Qingyang at this moment seemed like a not very shrewd hunter.

Holding a large piece of bait in his hand, which he thought was plump and sweet, he waved at her: Come, come, come into my trap.

It was just like the sparrow-catching game she often played when she was a child. Under the bamboo sieve supported by short and thick branches, a few grains of rice were scattered to attract the sparrows.

However, at this moment, she still had to be like those birds, consciously approaching and pretending to be deeply attracted by the bait.

Otherwise, how could she let the hunter down and achieve her goal?

She deliberately asked again: "Then...can I come back later?"

Qingyang felt that Xu Xinyue was so obedient, and this request was exactly what he wanted: "Of course, of course. The prince said that Miss Xu can also have dinner at the Zhenxiu Pavilion before returning to the palace."

Xu Xianyue smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty is so kind. In this case, please ask Guard Qingyang to thank Your Majesty for me."

Qingyang waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing. Three days later, there will be a carriage at the gate of the palace to take you there."

"Well, that's settled."

Xu Xinyue sent Qingyang away, who thought he had accomplished his mission.

Watching his happy figure disappear in the direction of Qin Yuechuan's study.

She rubbed her cheeks, which were stiff from smiling, and complained in a low voice: "Oh, acting is really tiring."

Until this moment, Xu Xinyue really wanted to sigh: It's true that after searching everywhere for something, I finally got it without any effort.

Xu Xinyue turned around happily and went back to the inner room.

Yongan Earl's Palace

There was a slim woman with a veil on her head sitting in the front hall.

I don't know how long I waited.

After about a cup of tea, an old man with dark skin and thin figure came steadily towards them.

The woman stepped forward quickly and called out anxiously, "Father."

Only now did he remove the veil, revealing his true appearance:

It was Aunt Rong.

The thin and dark man was none other than Rong Mingguang, the master of the Earl's Mansion.

"I have received the message you sent a few days ago. Why are you here today?"

Although the man is a father, his tone is not friendly at all.

He was cold as ice, indifferent and distant, as if the person sitting in front of him was just an ordinary visitor.

"Could it be that he has proposed some conditions again?"

"No, I know the family situation. I came here today just to ask my father how much money the Earl's Mansion can help the Xu Mansion with."

Rong Mingguang's face looked like an old tree bark covered with cracks.

His brows were furrowed, and the "chuan" groove on his forehead became even deeper.

"I haven't even asked how much the Xu Mansion's deficit is that needs to be filled by my Earl's Mansion."

"Father, it doesn't have to be the Earl's Mansion. If it can fill this gap, Xu Yuanshan will allow me to be the second wife of the Xu Mansion."

When Rong Mingguang heard this, his facial expression relaxed a little.

"But seriously?"

"Really? I'm sure father has heard about it. A few days ago, the wife of the Xu family was kidnapped by bandits and taken back to Youcheng with the bandits, causing disgrace.

My mother is embarrassed, and the legitimate daughter is also in trouble. Prince Rong just broke off the engagement with her.

I guess Xu Yuanshan wants to establish another wife and cultivate Xing'er to be a good in-law for the Xu family."

Every word and sentence was well-founded. Rong Mingguang had also heard about the parade a few days ago.

After hearing Aunt Rong's analysis, I believed it about 70% of the time.

"How much silver is the Xu family short of?"

"Probably..."

Aunt Rong didn't dare to say it clearly, but just timidly stretched out five white jade fingers.

Bright and shiny without changing color:

"Five hundred taels?"

Aunt Rong shook her head.

Rong Mingguang's face froze, and he said with some difficulty:

"Five thousand taels?"

Aunt Rong still shook her head.

Rong Mingguang immediately jumped up from his official hat chair and said in surprise: "Could it be - fifty thousand taels!"

Aunt Rong saw how excited she was and nodded imperceptibly: "Indeed...that's right."

Rong Mingguang panted heavily, and fell back into his chair in a daze, his eyes dull: "Fifty thousand taels... in exchange for a lady's position..."

Aunt Rong added: "And Xing'er's future!"

Rong Guangming glared at her and said, "Do you know what the Earl's Mansion is like now? They actually asked for such a big..."

"My daughter knows that the amount is huge, so for the sake of caution, I came here in person to discuss it. Father, this is my daughter's and the Earl's Mansion's only chance.

If I get the position of Madam, my daughter will be half the mistress of the Xu Mansion. Then, if I whisper in the master's ear, Feng'er's official position may be promoted further.

The future of our Earl's Mansion is promising."

Aunt Rong seldom refers to herself as a daughter and talks to Rong Mingguang about the father-daughter relationship.

She knew that she was just one of many concubines' daughters and was not worthy.

But today, in order to convince Rong Mingguang, she had to muster up the courage to do so.

With the position of Madam, Xing'er's future, the official title of the legitimate son, and the future of the Earl's Mansion, they will be promoted step by step and increased layer by layer.

Try to explain to him how good of a deal this is.

What a great value for money.

Only fifty thousand taels of silver could solve almost all the difficulties faced by the Earl's Mansion.

Rong Mingguang was somewhat moved.

"You...please let me think about it again..."
