Qin Songmo lowered his eyes and glanced at the exquisite eight-treasure hairpin. It was very delicate in style and must be valuable.
However, this little brat didn't realize that he would be arrested and imprisoned for privately reselling items from the palace.
Thinking of her escaping from the Prime Minister's Mansion with a small bag on her back in the future, and reselling the exquisite Eight Treasures Hairpin because she had no money, and then being arrested and imprisoned, she lay in the cell and cried.
A faint smile appeared between Qin Songmo's cold brows.
"...Yuan Qing, are you listening to me?"
The sobbing voice interrupted the picture in Qin Songmo's mind.
He turned around and saw Su Jinrou's eyes were red from crying, and her charming peach blossom eyes were staring at him.
The man frowned slightly, realizing his loss of composure, and nodded to apologize to Su Jinrou.
Su Jinrou's crying stopped when she saw this, and she tightened her grip on the handkerchief, "Yuan Qing, you weren't like this before."
"Ah, right, right, wasn't it you who used to complain about yourself and the common people together, and resonated with me, your cheap father, and you could control the situation by just crying a few words?"
[Hey! Guess what? I won't let you succeed again!]
[Ordinary people suffer, why should you? The old emperor loves you so much that you accept all the gold and silver jewelry.]
"You're crying now because the old emperor is in poor health. If you have the guts, go cry to the old emperor and lament the suffering of the people. If you can't, donate money and grain. Why do you keep trying to take advantage of my cheap father?"
"Besides, even if you don't cry about the suffering of the people, my cheap father is almost as good as having the word 'justice' plastered on his face. How could he let the people suffer?"
Li Shengyi lowered his head to play with the exquisite eight-treasure hairpin in his hand, and his facial features wrinkled as he shook his short legs.
Hearing her inner dissatisfaction, Qin Songmo put his fist to his lips, and then he raised his hand and patted her head lightly.
When he looked up again, his face had returned to its usual calm state.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I have always been like this."
"What your Majesty said today, I still need to go back and think about it again and again, your Majesty..."
"Still need to consider it?" Su Jinrou raised her voice, a hint of anxiety on her face, "But the Osmanthus Appreciation Banquet is in five days."
"I'm not anxious either, but Yuanqing, even if you don't think about me, you should still think about the people of this world."
"The current emperor is licentious and immoral. So many poor people are starving and their bodies are scattered all over the land. Yet I am trapped within these palace walls, unable to intervene. I am deeply distressed!"
Su Jinrou placed her hand softly on her heart.
The palace was very warm, and today she was wearing a red tube-top dress, which made her skin look even more delicate.
If she didn't paint her face white...
Li Shengyi couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body just by looking at her tearful face.
Fearing that his adoptive father would fall into her trap, Li Shengyi quickly reached out to grab Qin Songmo's sleeve.
Seeing the latter tilt his head to look at her, she shook her little head like a sieve, signaling him not to listen to Su Jinrou.
Qin Songmo nodded slightly when he saw this. "Your Majesty, you worry too much. Although Your Majesty is not diligent in government affairs, the people have never been displaced."
"Please keep my entry into the palace today to yourself, Your Majesty. Otherwise, if Your Majesty learns of it, you will certainly not forgive me."
"Shengyi, go home."
Qin Songmo has made up his mind to leave.
He ignored the resentful look Su Jinrou cast upon him, and after standing up, he stretched out his big palm towards the little bun.
Li Shengyi raised her head when she heard that. She raised her hand and shook the exquisite eight-treasure hairpin in her hand, "Daddy, this."
"This is a welcome gift from me to Shengyi. Fu'an, go get my jade and gold headpiece for Shengyi."
[Oh my god! Such wealth!]
Just when Su Jinrou ordered Fu'an to get the headgear, Qin Songmo heard the voice of the person in front of him again.
He pursed his lips, but before he could express his opinion, he saw the little boy in front of him let go of his hand and ran to Su Jinrou holding the Eight Treasures Hairpin.
"My lady, you cannot accept this with all your heart."
But the five-year-old boy only has a little bit of baby fat on his face.
The tone of his voice is still babyish.
In addition, Lu Xing specially dressed her up before she came. The little girl had fair skin and tender flesh, and looked like a rich lady.
Su Jinrou had just been rejected by Qin Songmo for "cooperation".
Now he was rejected by a little girl.
Her fingers tightened on the armrest of the chair. Su Jinrou pretended to be gentle and asked her softly, "Why? Do you think the gift is too expensive? Or do you just not like it?"
"No, Madam. Daddy once taught Shengyi that a small gift is more valuable than a small token of affection. No matter what gift Madam gives Shengyi as a meeting gift, Shengyi will like it very much."
Li Shengyi shook his head. "Your Majesty just said that the people are suffering. Why don't you exchange these valuables for food and save the people?"
"Your Majesty has a kind heart and cares about the country and people of Great Chu. You will surely be rewarded in the future."
[I'm grateful for what I've done. I think my flattery was pretty good. If my cheap dad becomes a big shot in the future, I can enjoy the good life with him.]
[Tsk, one should not lose the big picture for the sake of small details. I give myself a thumbs up for my cleverness!]
Li Shengyi's words not only shocked Su Jinrou.
Even Qin Songmo, who was standing beside him, breathed softly.
Until that incongruous voice sounded in my mind again.
A hint of smile appeared in the man's dark pupils.
After Li Shengyi rejected Su Jinrou's kindness, the father and daughter left Qinghua Palace together.
