Zhang Cheng looked at King Xiaoyao and remembered a legend he had heard.
Legend has it that this prince has a nickname - Prince Plucking.
If the goose is plucked, you can imagine how much this prince loves to steal money from other people's pockets.
At the same time, Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that even if this was a portrait of the princess when she was a child, and even if there was someone else in the portrait, the master would never let this painting be circulated.
King Xiaoyao had been observing Xuanyuan Jin's expression, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and reveal a teasing smile on his lips.
"How is it? Will His Highness the Crown Prince accept this generous gift from me?" King Xiaoyao asked confidently.
Xuanyuan Jin calmly put the scroll into the box. He did not directly answer King Xiaoyao's words, but instead asked: "I wonder how much money the prince spent on buying this painting?"
King Xiaoyao said calmly: "Not much, six thousand taels of silver."
Xuanyuan Jin told Zhang Chengdao: "Take six thousand taels of silver and help King Xiaoyao redeem the jade pendant."
"No need to bother!" King Xiaoyao said quickly: "How can I trouble His Royal Highness anymore? Just give the money to Wu Yong and let Wu Yong go."
Xiaoyao Wang said without blushing or out of breath.
I don't think there is anything wrong with him giving people gifts and having them pay for them.
I don’t even think that he had a dark heart when he doubled the price as soon as he changed hands.
Wu Yong nodded repeatedly, suppressing the smile on his face, and said, "That's right! Just go in the end."
Wu Yong is familiar with this operation!
When he saw this, he felt clear in his heart.
My prince definitely didn’t buy the painting for six thousand taels.
After this move, the price difference in the middle belongs to the prince!
Alas! The majestic prince actually worked so hard for a mere three thousand taels of silver...
Wu Yong felt a little sad again.
There is no way, the prince, like the princess, cannot save any money.
After hearing King Xiaoyao's words, Xuanyuan Jin's lips curled up slightly.
"Your Majesty, are you sure it's six thousand taels? But don't remember it wrong, don't ask for it." Xuanyuan Jin said pointedly.
Xiaoyao King: "..."
Why did he feel like he was being seen through?
"I am not too old yet, and my memory is not bad. I remember it well." King Xiaoyao said with an unchanged expression.
Xuanyuan Jin nodded, no longer connoting Xiaoyao Wang, and glanced at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng took out a wad of silver notes from his pocket and counted six thousand taels to Wu Yong.
On the way here, Wu Yong already knew that King Xiaoyao had mortgaged the jade pendant in Zhenbaozhai.
So, after taking the banknote, he looked at King Xiaoyao's hand on his side from the corner of his eye.
When he saw King Xiaoyao stretching out three fingers, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Hahaha... Your Majesty earned half of it!
This money is really good!
Wu Yong excitedly put the banknote in his arms and walked quickly to Zhenbaozhai.
However, when I got to a place where no one was around, I took out the banknotes, counted three thousand taels, and put them in my money bag.
This time, Xuanyuan Jin cupped his fists at Prince Xiaoyao and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
King Xiaoyao naturally understands what is written here.
Sure enough, that little girl from the Su family holds a very important position in the heart of His Royal Highness.
Not only did I make money today, but I also sold His Highness the Crown Prince a favor, so this trip was indeed worthwhile.
Xuanyuan would like to invite King Xiaoyao to enter the palace.
Xiaoyao Wang glanced at Siwa.
The fourth child immediately saluted solemnly.
"Su Chengzu has met the prince."
King Xiaoyao asked in a kind voice: "Who is your father? Have you received training as a soldier? Did you learn it from your father? Your father served in the army?"
When King Xiaoyao asked this question, Si Wa's expression immediately darkened.
But he said: "I learned it from my mother. My mother is amazing. My father... is a great hero."
But, I don’t know where the great hero is?
Xuanyuan Jin's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, Chengzu is the child of the sixth room of the Su family. The sixth brother died in the battle last year. Now there are only six sisters-in-law and Chengzu in the sixth room of the Su family."
Xiaoyao King: "..."
My heart sank and I was in awe.
How difficult is it for a man to die in battle, leaving behind orphans and widowed mothers?
wrong!
King Xiaoyao suddenly realized something was wrong.
The fifth eldest son of the Su family just got married, but the child of the sixth eldest son is already in his teens...
Is this reasonable?
It's not easy for King Xiaoyao to ask whether it's reasonable or not.
King Xiaoyao patted the fourth child on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Good boy, your father is Dayan's hero. From now on, you should honor your mother well, study hard and practice martial arts, and you will live up to your father's expectations of you!"
"
Si Wa's little face immediately showed a determined expression.
"Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty! I will be like my father in the future, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, protect my family and the country, and fight for my mother to be my wife!" Siwa said vowedly.
"Good boy! Ambitious!" King Xiaoyao looked at Siwa with eyes filled with admiration.
And, he patted the fourth child hard on the shoulder.
This shot has a sense of testing.
The fourth baby worked hard on his lower body. Although he was young, he stood firmly!
Although her face was flushed from suppressing pain, her body remained motionless.
When King Xiaoyao saw it, he became more and more satisfied.
"Well, not bad!" King Xiaoyao nodded.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at King Xiaoyao and then at Siwa, but he didn't say anything.
Xuanyuan Jin was not sure whether King Xiaoyao knew the inside story about the sisters' substitution of marriages in Prince Xiaoyao's palace.
He only knew that King Xiaoyao came to Beijing this time and rescued his second daughter from the prison.
Wu Yunshuang must have difficulties if she doesn't return home.
Xuanyuan Jin was not a man of many words, so he did not say anything about the affairs between Prince Xiaoyao and his daughter.
Even though King Xiaoyao's biological daughter is now a widow in the Su family.
Zhang Cheng was one of the few people who had guessed Wu Yunshuang's identity, but his expression at this time was a little strange.
He almost said to King Xiaoyao, "In fact, this is your grandson!"
Siwa met a guest at the gate, and he was a prince, so it was difficult to leave.
After all, Xuanyuan Jin's surname is not Su.
The fourth child then accompanied King Xiaoyao and entered the Hou Mansion again.
After Wu Yunshuang came back, she did not go through the main entrance, but the corner door on the side.
There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere in the Hou Mansion, and it was full of joy.
Wu Yunshuang was wearing a curtain hat, feeling the festive atmosphere, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Picture after picture continued to appear in front of her eyes, and finally turned into a touch of blood.
"Your Majesty, please come this way!"
Not far away, Xuanyuan Jin's voice came.
Wu Yunshuang shook her head and hurriedly walked towards the corner.
The moment before her figure flashed around the corner, Siwa happened to look over.
"Mom!" Siwa shouted in surprise and ran after her.
King Xiaoyao followed Siwa's gaze and saw only an apricot-yellow figure turning the corner.
King Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, and the figure looked familiar, much like Shuang'er...
King Xiaoyao raised his foot and was about to chase after him.
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at King Xiaoyao and said, "That is the sixth sister-in-law of the Su family. She became a widow at a young age. Fortunately, she has such a filial son like Cheng Zu."
King Xiaoyao's footsteps stopped again.
He is really confused.
Shuang'er is just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, how could she be the widow of the Su family?
Naturally, it is even more impossible to have such an old son.
King Xiaoyao smiled mockingly.
"Mom, are you back?"
The fourth baby's voice of surprise came from afar.
"Well, your grandmother sent a message to ask mother to come back..."
A woman's voice, caught in the breeze, faintly reached King Xiaoyao's ears.
