Chapter 316 Saving a person costs three hundred taels of gold? The Empress really knows how to do business!
Where can you find such an empress?
Shouldn't empresses be graceful, dignified, and elegant?
How could this girl in front of me be so gentle, kind, vibrant, and beautiful!
It doesn't look like the kind of purity that could be nurtured in a nine-layered palace.
"Please take a bath and change your clothes first. After you sit down, we can slowly explain our identities, shall we?"
"Someone, help the young master to go downstairs to bathe and change his clothes."
Meng Yanzhi gently patted the boy's head, showing no disgust at his smell.
The boy was shy, but he didn't refute it. He nodded, turned around, and followed Hu Lai inside.
Seeing the boy's reaction, Xiao Xingyuan snorted in dissatisfaction: "I think this kid is completely disobedient and immature. Why are you paying attention to him?"
"Why shouldn't I pay any attention to him?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a wry smile. "He is the only son of the Tatar king. He was found here after being stranded. Isn't that a good thing? Of course we should treat him well!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan understood Meng Yanzhi's meaning. The Tatar king indeed only had one son, so the position of Tatar king should definitely be given to this child. However, this child has ended up here, which must have been done by those restless uncles.
If they send the people back at this time, the Tatar King will be extremely grateful, and Da Gan will gain the Tatar King's support. Then they can naturally renegotiate the terms with the Canglan Kingdom, and they will have another bargaining chip for the truce!
Sometimes Xiao Xingyuan really felt that Meng Yanzhi was his lucky star!
As long as Meng Yanzhi is around, everything can be turned from bad to good.
"Rouge, how did you recognize him?"
Xiao Xingyuan really couldn't understand how Meng Yanzhi managed to spot the little prince when all the other children were gathered together in the dark.
"secret."
Meng Yanzhi ignored Xiao Xingyuan's question and instead walked into the house.
"Aman, look what your mother bought for you!"
"Little tiger, does Aman like it?"
Meng Yanzhi smiled and picked up Aman, holding the little tiger. She then gave him a happy kiss.
The child is growing up and looks more and more like Meng Yanzhi; she's practically a carbon copy of Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi didn't have a good childhood, so she only hoped that her daughter could have a better life and live happily. Therefore, whenever she saw something good, she would think of her precious daughter first.
The little prince quickly came out after washing up. He couldn't see clearly when it was dark, but now he was indeed a beautiful child, even his eyes were light blue.
"I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's and Her Majesty's help today." The little prince knelt on the ground, "I will never forget this!"
It turns out the child's name is Haiqing, which is actually a nice name.
Meng Yanzhi walked over with the child in her arms and smiled at him: "It's fate that we met. Now that you've suddenly disappeared, your father must be very worried. So you should go back quickly. I'll send someone to take you back!"
"You're just going to send me back like this?"
"Hold me captive, and Father will give you everything you desire!"
Haiqing looked at Meng Yanzhi with some surprise, seemingly not understanding why she would let her go so easily.
Seeing Haiqing like this, Meng Yanzhi held the child thoughtfully, then nodded and said with a smile, "What you said really hit the nail on the head. We, husband and wife, couldn't have saved you for nothing, could we?"
As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi circled around Hai Qing and said, "I spent thirty taels of gold to buy you. You can give me three hundred taels back when you go back!"
What?
Haiqing looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "You only want three hundred taels of gold?"
"Yes, what? Did I wrong you?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to repay me?"
Meng Yanzhi, feeling perfectly justified, snorted at Hai Qing.
Hai Qing then understood what Meng Yanzhi meant. He didn't continue talking to Meng Yanzhi, but looked at Xiao Xingyuan and asked, "What is His Majesty's opinion?"
"My wife has the final say." Xiao Xingyuan's attitude was firm, insisting on upholding Meng Yanzhi's words.
Hai Qing was completely dumbfounded. Why did things turn out so differently from what he had imagined? This was simply absurd!
He took a deep breath, then looked at Meng Yanzhi, knelt on the ground, and performed a deep bow respectfully: "I will never forget your life-saving grace. If you ever need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best to assist you!"
This was a promise from the future Tatar king, and Meng Yanzhi naturally took it to heart.
She smiled, handed the child to Xiao Xingyuan, then personally helped him up, and said softly, "Good child, you've had a hard time these past few days. Don't worry, I'll prepare everything for you and make sure you get back safely. Are you hungry?"
Meng Yanzhi magically produced a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to him: "Have something to eat first. I made this myself. It's delicious. I'll go prepare dinner."
After saying that, Meng Yanzhi really walked towards the kitchen.
Made by hand?
Haiqing was still shocked and couldn't believe that the Empress of a country would personally cook.
"Your Majesty...the Empress is very special."
Haiqing took a bite of the hibiscus cake and his eyes lit up. This was truly the best hibiscus cake he had ever eaten, and also the most precious hibiscus cake.
"Of course, he's one of my people!"
Xiao Xingyuan held the child, a smug smile playing on his lips.
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's smug look, Haiqing felt a little envious and glanced at Meng Yanzhi.
Soon, Meng Yanzhi prepared four side dishes. After handing the child over to Qingdao, she invited Xiao Xingyuan and Haiqing to eat together.
After Haiqing sat down at the dining table, she noticed that the two people didn't pay any attention to table manners while eating. They just kept chatting and laughing, and didn't seem like emperors and empresses at all.
Could I have been scammed?
"Are you really the emperor and empress of a great empire?"
Haiqing couldn't help but ask a question.
Seeing Hai Qing's cautious demeanor, Meng Yanzhi burst out laughing: "Yes, it really is, the real deal!"
But why do they look nothing alike? Where do emperors and empresses look like this? Where do married couples look like this?
Why does it just feel so awkward?
Seeing the two of them like this, Haiqing sighed: "If only my father and mother could be as loving as you two."
"If they weren't in love, how could they have had you?" Meng Yanzhi looked at Haiqing with a face full of curiosity.
Although Haiqing was only fourteen years old, she was old enough to understand everything, and her face flushed red instantly: "I... how would I know?"
