But she had no reason to refuse, and this was the Grand Prime Minister's Temple, and with so many people here, the Seventh Prince probably wouldn't dare to do anything.
Qiao Yuyan said quickly: "If your Highness has anything to do, just give me your instructions."
The seventh prince asked the palace maid to lead Qiao Yuyan to a hidden place, but Qixi and Shiye were not allowed to follow.
This made Qiao Yuyan hesitate.
The Seventh Prince then said: "Sixth Madam, don't worry, your maids can see it right here. What's more, my majestic prince, will he do harm to you, Sixth Madam?"
Qiao Yuyan's heart beat, but she had no reason to shirk, so she could only nod in agreement.
When I turned around and saw Shi Ye gently nodding his head, I felt relieved.
The two of them walked to the deserted alley, and the seventh prince said: "I heard that the sixth wife was very favored by her parents' family in the past. Not only Master Qiao and his wife loved her very much, but also the wife in the family also liked her very much."
Qiao Yuyan didn't know what he was going to say, so she could only say modestly: "Elders all over the world love their children. Your Highness, you are exaggerating."
She was going in circles like this, but the Seventh Prince was impatient, "No, I have already investigated the affairs of Mrs. Six in her natal family. In fact, I came here just to ask one thing. Mrs. Six, your dowry is enough
There are one hundred and twenty-four pieces, so there must be a lot of antiques inside. I would like to borrow one, and I will return it to you in a while. What do you think?"
Qiao Yuyan was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand what he said, and looked at him blankly.
Throughout the ages, few royal princes have asked for things from their own subjects, right? Even if they did, it should be like those ministers. Now the seventh prince actually wants her dowry. What do you mean?
Even though he was talking about borrowing, they all knew what was going on here, but they just said it to make it sound nicer.
Looking at Qiao Yuyan's appearance, the Seventh Prince was a little unhappy. It seemed that this woman did not want to cooperate.
"Mrs. Six, is my request too much? If you want any benefit, you can just say it directly."
Qiao Yuyan came back to her senses and said quickly: "Your Highness is serious, but I just think that Your Highness is a prince, and there are many rare things in this world that you can't see.
Therefore, I really can’t think of anything in my house that Your Highness could take a fancy to.”
It was not that the Seventh Prince failed to hear the sarcasm in Qiao Yu's tone. His forehead twitched twice before he spoke awkwardly, "Of course what you said is, but I heard that there was something very interesting in the Sixth Wife's dowry, so I thought
I really want to take a look, don’t worry, I’m not trying to steal anyone’s love, I’m just playing with it, and it won’t take long before it will be returned automatically, you don’t have to worry.”
Having said so much, things must be done.
Qiao Yuyan also knew that there was no way to escape, "Your Highness, what you said is exaggerated. Everything in this world belongs to the Holy One. You are the most valued son of the Holy One, and that is yours. But I really don't know what is in my dowry."
What can make His Highness take notice?"
"Don't be nervous, Mrs. Six. In fact, it's nothing compared to the property of your grandfather's Xu family. It's just two calligraphy and paintings from the previous dynasty."
Qiao Yuyan's family does have some calligraphy, paintings and antiques.
When she heard what he said, she didn't care much, "Then your Highness will tell me which two pictures the concubine is. When things are done here, I will have someone send it to His Highness when I get back."
Hearing what she said, the Seventh Prince seemed very satisfied, but he did not agree with Qiao Yuyan's suggestion, "Why wait until we get back? Wouldn't it be better for me to send someone to follow the Sixth Wife directly down the mountain to get it?"
You need it so urgently?!
After Qiao Yuyan heard him mention the names of the two paintings, she smiled and nodded, "That's okay, I'll let my personal maid get it! She takes care of my things, and she knows everything about it.
"
The seventh prince was not polite at all, and immediately sent a bodyguard-like person to follow Qixi.
After they left, Qiao Yuyan also said goodbye, but the fifth prince and Princess Jiahe happened to come over.
Jiahe's eyes turned from Qiao Yuyan and the seventh prince, and he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the sixth aunt and my seventh prince brother could get along well. I have never noticed that you have any similar hobbies.
What were we talking about just now? How could they be so consistent?"
This was said with a sense of intimacy, but when he spoke, the coldness on his face was clearly revealed, and the fifth prince beside him looked even more ugly.
The Seventh Prince was about to interrupt his words when Qiao Yuyan spoke first, "The Seventh Prince is asking me for two paintings and calligraphy! I don't know how to calligraphy and painting, so if I can win the favor of His Majesty the Seventh Prince, I can count on my two paintings."
Lucky you."
As soon as she said these words, the fifth prince's face suddenly became nervous, "What calligraphy and painting?"
The Seventh Prince said quickly: "Fifth brother wants to ask this, but it's just a personal relationship between me and the sixth wife. She gave me two paintings. Why, if fifth brother wants it, he can ask the sixth wife if she still has any!"
When he said this, Qiao Yuyan couldn't shake it off anymore. She immediately smiled and said: "What His Majesty the Seventh Highness said is that fortunately there are many calligraphy and paintings in the dowry of my mother's family. Just now, the maid of my concubine has been with His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
The guards went to get it together, if it is the fifth prince..."
Before Qiao Yuyan finished speaking, the fifth prince immediately said: "Thank you very much, Mrs. Six, for your kindness. I happen to be interested in calligraphy and painting, so I'd rather be respectful than obey."
After saying that, he immediately called a guard next to him, "Go, the maid who caught up with Mrs. Six, and choose two calligraphy and paintings for me."
Suddenly being interfered with like this, the Seventh Prince was very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was the one who gave the reason just now, so he couldn't just accuse the Fifth Prince of robbing someone now!
Seeing that the fifth prince's people were already chasing him quickly, the seventh prince could only leave in anger.
The fifth prince Jiahe was left face to face with Qiao Yuyan.
"Your Highnesses, if nothing happens, I will go back first."
The fifth prince nodded, but Jiahe came over and took Qiao Yuyan's hand with a smile, "Sixth Aunt forgot, we live in the same courtyard, we can go back together!"
Qiao Yuyan felt a little disgusted when she pressed her so closely, but he couldn't brush her hand away directly. He could only smile awkwardly, "What the princess said was true, but I forgot about it at this moment."
Jiahe looked around and suddenly lowered his voice and said to Qiao Yuyan: "Sixth Aunt, this Daxiangguo Temple has been established for more than a hundred years, and it was very famous in the previous dynasty."
This was a well-known thing. Qiao Yuyan didn't know what her intention was and could only nod.
Who would have thought that her next sentence would be, "I heard that objects that have been around for a long time will become spirits. Do you think there might be any spirits in this?"
