Chapter 121: Gu Wudang. Nonsense
Fang Lingchu said in a muffled voice: [System, you don’t understand. The cold numbers are different from what the person said. Besides, look at him. He lives in a place like the border, but he still keeps himself so well.
Even though his family has changed so much, he has not become dark and gloomy. He still loves this country so much and has the ability to love people. He has not turned evil in a minute. This in itself is already very impressive.
Besides, he doesn't have many friends in the capital, so I came with him as a friend to see what happened to his parents. Don't overthink it. If a system thinks too much every day, you won't be afraid of it breaking down.
System: ??? No, he was just analyzing something, so why was he called a brain-damaged person?
When Gu Wangyan heard Fang Lingchu's inner thoughts, he felt a little guilty, but it was quickly dispelled by his next words.
"Besides, you feel bad for Duan Ganze, so why can't you feel bad for Gu Wangyan? Guagua, is Duan Ganze the only one in your heart and eyes now?"
The system retorted: [Host, it's not me, it's you, host. I don't care what happens to them. I just want to enjoy the show.]
Fang Lingchu didn't want to pay attention to the system and said to Gu Wangyan, "General Gu, when will you return to the border?"
Gu Wangyan looked at her with a smile, showing his most perfect face, and said, "Your Majesty, please celebrate your birthday! As for you, have you thought of a gift for His Majesty?"
This question puzzled Fang Lingchu, and she seemed to have forgotten it.
He asked cautiously, "Does each of us ministers have to give gifts to His Majesty?"
Gu Wangyan laughed softly, then said, "Yes, everyone must give one."
Fang Lingchu's face almost fell. What... was she going to give to the emperor?
Guagua, what can I give to the emperor?
The system said nonchalantly: [Your emperor loves money so much, why don't you just give him gold?]
Fang Lingchu's tone revealed exasperation as she said, "I like it too! Seriously, who would give a birthday gift of gold?"
The system said: [You, you forgot that you asked your grandparents to give you gold on your birthday, host, why are you still playing double standards?]
Fang Lingchu……
[This... How can this be the same? He's the emperor, giving him money is so awkward!]
The emperor of the palace sneezed.
"Who is talking about me again?"
Then His Majesty is here now, and he must be saying: Don't be shy at all, send me money, send it quickly! His private treasury is almost empty!
Gu Wangyan looked at her tangled expression and asked, "I heard that His Majesty gave you a pair of glass cups. Do you like them?"
Fang Lingchu didn't understand why Gu Wangyan suddenly asked this, but instinctively, he nodded and said, "I like it very much. It looks very nice."
Gu Wangyan twitched the corner of his mouth, and said casually with a look in his eyes: "I still have a few pairs. I'll ask you to send them to you when I get back."
Fang Lingchu was so shocked and incredulous that he even forgot to retract his expression.
"What did you say?"
Then roar in your heart.
Guagua, what kind of sucker is Gu Wangyan? He actually has several pairs of such cheap things. I feel like I'm seeing so much money flowing out. Woohoo, I know what to give to His Majesty.
When Gu Wangyan heard Fang Lingchu say it was cheap, he couldn't help but say, "I bought that glass cup from a Hu merchant. He had more than one cup, he also had glass bowls and glass tea sets. If you like them, I'll give them to you. They're not worth much."
Fang Lingchu heard that Gu Wangyan had so many and that he bought them from a Hu merchant.
Fang Lingchu felt so painful in his heart that he couldn't breathe. He turned Gu Wangyan's body over, looked at him seriously, and asked, "How much did you spend on these things?"
Gu Wangyan didn't know why Fang Lingchu was so overreacting, but he still said honestly, "I exchanged tea leaves and porcelain with them. It didn't cost much." Fang Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was exchanged for other things. After hearing the rest of the story, he forced a smile and asked seriously, "So how much was it?"
"About eight thousand taels!"
"silver?"
"gold."
When Fang Lingchu heard the word "gold", she almost fainted.
Guagua, listen to this prodigal son! Eight thousand taels of gold! How much rice can he buy?! He's making me mad.
Seeing Fang Lingchu almost fainting, Gu Wangyan didn't understand what he had said wrong.
Didn't she like it? Shouldn't she be happy to hear that something she liked was worth so much?
Mingming Feng said that girls would be happy if they received a gift that they liked and was valuable.
Feng, who was following behind, suddenly felt the air around him turned cold, as if something was targeting him.
"Don't you like it?"
Fang Lingchu pulled the skin off her face, revealing a smile uglier than crying, and said, "I like it, I like it very much. Who doesn't like expensive gifts?"
The system gloated over this misfortune and said, "Host, stay calm. At least Gu Wangyan is rich. A mere eight thousand taels of gold isn't a lot!"
Fang Lingchu roared angrily, then calmly said, "Is this a question of money? The raw material for colored glaze is sand. Even at a copper coin per ton, it's not worth the price. Even without sand, wood ash can be used to make it. Think about all the raw materials, plus they're spending so much money. Don't you feel bad?"
The system waved its hands and said, "I'm happy with it! Host, don't feel bad for other people's money; it's not yours."
Fang Lingchu maintained a stiff smile and mentally spoke to the system: "The problem is, they gave that thing to me! Besides, one is the emperor, the other is a general. They might as well give that money to the people. At least they can gain a good reputation. I give it to you."
After listening to the system and Fang Lingchu's words, Gu Wangyan finally understood why she reacted so much.
The more he listened, the more he felt that he had been cheated. It turned out that thing was made of wood ash, which was indeed not worth the price he paid.
After hearing this, Gu Wangyan felt a little embarrassed and gave the things away.
It doesn't seem like a valuable gift at all.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Gu Wangyan quickly changed the subject. He really couldn't stand Fang Lingchu's inner complaints.
"Princess, do you want to go to the border?"
When Fang Lingchu heard Gu Wangyan's voice, she was no longer in the mood to pay attention to him, but it would be impolite to ignore him.
He could only force a smile and said, "No, I have been living at home since I was a child. This is the first time I have even left the city, let alone the border."
When saying this, Fang Lingchu still felt a little regretful.
She actually likes to travel around and play everywhere.
But since coming to this ancient time, she has developed a personality that doesn't like to go out.
As the two were chatting, they suddenly saw someone in front of them.
"Isn't that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over there?"
