Chapter 332 Second Brother Actually Wants to Play the Piano

The stack of papers Xie Yunqi was holding were all land deeds and gift documents. It was a thick stack, and Xie Yunqi flipped through it with a rustling sound: "There are a hundred shops here. Not many. I bought them all with my mother's money. But in the future, I will earn my own money and use it to buy more shops for my sister!"

One hundred rooms, not many?

Sheng Sheng was dumbfounded.

"Fifth Brother, why are you giving Sheng Sheng so many shops?" Sheng Sheng ran downstairs. "Sheng Sheng doesn't need them."

Xie Yunqi proudly puffed out her chest: "This is all the dowry your brother has saved for you. From now on, your brother will save up a dowry for you every year, the more the better. If your future husband's wealth is not even as much as your dowry, he can forget about taking you away."

Sheng Sheng was both amused and exasperated: "Fifth Brother, this is too much!"

According to Xie Yunqi, wouldn't the number of people who would agree to the conditions be extremely limited in the future?

"It's no exaggeration at all, my sister deserves the best!" Xie Yunqi said passionately. "If he can't even offer this much, what will he offer you for happiness? If no one else meets the criteria, that's perfect, your brother will take care of you for the rest of your life!"

Consort Li sighed, almost wanting to pull her conspicuous son down.

Does he think he's handsome?

Despite her own disdain, Consort Li still had to speak up for her son.

"Please accept this gift, Second Princess. This child went to great lengths to prepare this gift and impress me, all in an effort to get more money out of me," Consort Li said with a smile. "This is all from your brother, the Emperor. Please accept it, Second Princess."

"Yes, little sister, please accept it."

Sheng Sheng was so moved that she didn't know what to say, but fortunately Xie Yunjia came to the rescue: "Alright, you actually thought of the same thing as me."

Xie Yunjia also took out a stack of land deeds: "But what I have are not shops, but several estates under my name, each of which makes money effortlessly. Shengsheng, your elder sister is also preparing a dowry for you."

Xie Yunjia smiled gently at Sheng Sheng, snatched the stack of papers from Xie Yunqi's hand, put them together with her own, and stuffed them directly into Sheng Sheng's hands.

Sheng Sheng hugged the two of them tightly, saying, "Thank you, Fifth Brother, thank you, Sister!"

The crowd below was abuzz with discussion, the sheer scale of the displays was dazzling.

The second princess is only six years old, and she already has so many assets under her control. What will she be like in the future?

Next, the others presented their gifts, and the banquet began.

Since it was Sheng Sheng's birthday, Xie Yuxiao and Consort Rong knew that the little dumpling would definitely want to play alone with her brothers and sisters. After a few rounds of drinks and a few more bites with the little dumpling, they left first.

His Majesty and the concubines have all left one after another, and the officials naturally won't stay any longer either. Now it's the young people's turn.

Xie Yunchuan just said he had another gift for Shengsheng, a piece of music.

Xie Yunjia had previously mentioned that Xie Yunchuan could play the piano, but now Xie Yunchuan is very busy and rarely plays the piano anymore.

Xie Yunchuan was about to play the zither, and Sheng Sheng then ordered that any young masters and ladies who were interested could stay and join in the fun.

The group moved to the Imperial Garden. It was late at night, and because today was Sheng Sheng's birthday celebration, the Imperial Garden was already lit with specially designed lanterns.

The dim yellow light illuminated every corner of the Imperial Garden, and in a pavilion in one corner of the Imperial Garden, Xie Yunchuan's zither was placed there.

Xie Yunjia ordered the palace servants to clean up the area and then sent someone to check the tables and chairs. She finally found the little dumpling sitting on the stone bench directly opposite the pavilion and casually said a few words.

"It seems your second brother is really happy on your birthday today; he's even going to play the zither."

"Hmm...maybe."

Sheng Sheng blinked and gave a meaningful smile.

At first, she thought so too, and was happy that she could finally see her brother play the piano.

But what did Xie Yunchuan say back then?

oh.

The man casually looked up at the moonlight and said, "The moonlight is lovely tonight. Perhaps playing under the moon would have a more meaningful effect. What do you think?"

Sheng Sheng hadn't yet realized something was wrong, and nodded happily: "Wow, playing the piano under the moonlight, that'll definitely create a great atmosphere!"

“Yeah, I think so too.” Xie Yunchuan paused. “It’s just a bit of a pity, since today is your birthday and we’ll be the only ones left to congratulate you later.”
