Qin Ye: “…”

Do you want it but express it so tactfully?

But, she didn't get her things for free.

Qin Ye's eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly bowed and said sincerely:

"As long as Father is happy, it will be a blessing for me. Although this pocket watch is an heirloom from my mother's mother and has important significance, as long as Father likes it, I am willing to give everything!"

When the emperor heard this, the small pocket watch in his palm suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds.

It turned out to be a family heirloom.

How could he have the nerve to want such a treasure?

He immediately returned it, "Seventh Old Wife, since this is given to you by your mother, take it back and keep it. I don't want it!"

"Being able to win the favor of my father is the greatest significance of this pocket watch."

Qin Ye pushed the pocket watch back with both hands and said very sensibly,

"You are the emperor, and everything in the entire Dongling Kingdom belongs to you. How dare I, your son, monopolize it? No matter how good a thing is, it can only be used to its full potential when it falls into the hands of outstanding people."

"Father, please accept it!"

She bowed her body and lowered her head, her words were serious and filial, and she looked like a good and obedient daughter-in-law.

"Ah——" The emperor was a little embarrassed.

Taking away other people's favors is not what a gentleman does.

He held the small pocket watch in his hand, and the long silver chain was wrapped around his palm twice. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Since the Seventh Old Wife is so sincere, I will accept it, but I won't take it for nothing. Do you have anything you want? How about I exchange it with you?"

Hearing the word "exchange", a hint of success flashed across Qin Ye's lowered eyes.

This is what I've been waiting for!

This pocket watch was worth very little money, but she deliberately described it as very valuable and gave it important significance, just to make the emperor feel uneasy.

He felt uneasy, so he offered her something in exchange.

Compared to a pocket watch, the emperor's promise is a priceless treasure.

Qin Ye curled his lips and pretended to be humble: "This is what your son offered to your father. How dare I take credit for it?"

The emperor immediately frowned and said without question:

"Speak! Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of a little girl? Speak now!"

He waved his hand, no longer patient:

"If you don't say anything, I will make the decision for you."

Gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuables were all given away as rewards.

Qin Ye saw that he had almost finished pretending, so he pretended to be embarrassed and said hesitantly: "If the emperor must reward me, I want a...dog beating stick."

"oh?"

Dog beating stick?

Both the emperor and the eunuch Defu showed surprised expressions.

Defu, relying on his forty years of experience in serving the emperor and the knowledge gained from living for most of his life, bent down and whispered in the emperor's ear:

"Your Majesty, isn't this dog-beating stick something from the Jianghu or the Beggars' Sect? Could it be that Princess Chen wants to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect?"

emperor:"……"

He looked at Defu with a foolish look in his eyes, "You have followed me for so many years, why are you still so stupid?"

Defu: “…”

"Who said that this dog-beating stick is for hitting dogs?"

The emperor stood up, walked to the center of the garden, stood on the seventh step, raised his hand and pulled off a branch of the crabapple tree, removed the extra branches, and threw it to Qin Ye:

"This is the dog-beating stick I bestow upon you. It is like I am here in person. You can use it to beat a tyrant or a husband. I will teach it to you today."

Qin Ye immediately knelt on the ground, raised his hands to take the baton, and thanked him loudly:

"I, your son, would like to thank you, father. Long live your majesty, father! Long, long live your majesty!"
