Chapter 600 Why Won't Mother Show Us the Blood Jade?
Di Juexiao gritted his teeth, thinking that it seemed he had no choice but to use his last resort!
He kowtowed to Emperor Jingling, "Your Majesty, I had no choice. The thought that my life is nearing its end and I will no longer be able to serve Your Majesty makes my heart ache unbearably!"
Upon hearing his words, Di Jingling's lips twitched violently.
It sounds both cheesy and disgusting.
Seeing that the emperor remained unmoved, Di Juexiao continued to howl, "Your Majesty, I am truly serious. Whenever I think about not being able to stay by Your Majesty's side in the future, I cannot eat or sleep properly, and I am restless."
[Holy crap, if I hadn't happened to be here and overheard this disgusting "confession," my worldview would still be intact. This old hag has completely shattered it!]
Xiao Tang's thoughts then reached Di Jingling's heart.
It's simply refreshing.
The discomfort caused by Liang Wang's act was swept away by Xiao Tang's heartfelt words.
Di Jingling remained silent.
Xiao Tang had already pushed the door open and entered.
"Oh, King Liang, what are you doing kneeling here?"
She looked puzzled. "What's wrong? Are you crying? Did my husband bully you?"
King Liang gritted his teeth.
He didn't want to see Xiao Tang at all.
He always felt that every time he saw Xiao Tang, bad luck was bound to follow.
That Lady Yu from last time also seemed difficult to get along with; she's probably the same type of woman.
What he couldn't understand the most was that Di Jingling actually liked this type of woman? And he even left his harem empty for such a woman.
So much of the joy of being a man is gone!
Xiao Tang had already stepped gracefully to Di Jingling's side.
The man saw her, grabbed her hand, and made her sit down.
Xiao Tang narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying, "Why is Prince Liang still kneeling? Why aren't you getting up?"
“The Prince of Liang wants the blood jade in your possession,” Di Jingling said again.
King Liang looked up at Xiao Tang with a bewildered expression.
"Oh, is this it?" Facing the King of Liang's longing gaze, she felt no sympathy whatsoever and directly took out the blood jade wrapped in brocade.
This is what King Liang wanted!
King Liang stared at the blood jade, his eyes practically blazing with fury. "The Empress... it was in Her Majesty's possession."
"You want it?"
King Liang nodded vigorously.
Those longing eyes were completely undisguised.
Xiao Tang scoffed: "That's great. I bought it for 400,000. If you offer 500,000, I'll sell it to you."
King Liang: ? ? ?
That doesn't make sense...
When Madam Na Yu sold it to him, she originally planned to pay 400,000, so why is she asking for an extra 100,000 out of nowhere?
Xiao Tang smiled as she looked at Liang Wang's face, which was so ugly it was almost stiff.
She really enjoyed the feeling of ripping people off.
Especially, 500,000!
This is a considerable sum of money; it would be good even if it were used to fill the national treasury for disaster relief.
Xiao Tang smiled, her eyes narrowed.
"What's wrong? It seems like the Prince of Liang isn't too keen on it?"
"No...no, Your Majesty does indeed deserve this much silver. I will go back and raise it!"
When Di Juexiao spoke the latter part, he was almost gritting his teeth as he spoke.
Xiao Tang hummed in agreement: "Alright, I'll be waiting for Your Highness's 500,000 taels."
King Liang bowed and withdrew, leaving the palace with heavy steps.
Xiao Tang found it quite amusing to look at his back, which seemed to have aged instantly.
She grabbed Di Jingling's arm, "Husband, didn't I do a great job? I made money for you."
Di Jingling found it amusing and brushed the strands of hair from her cheek.
"Yes, yes, this money is yours too."
"No, I don't want it. Let this money fill the national treasury. I'm not that short of money."
Xiao Tang knew that the Prince of Liang would definitely give 500,000 taels of silver.
She was quite curious about how to collect them all.
That night.
Xiao Tang watched as the three children did their math homework.
Da Bao finished calculating very quickly; he even developed a love for using the abacus.
As expected, I'll need money when I grow up.
Xiao Tang had calculated the future fate of these three children countless times, and no matter how many times he calculated it, it was always the same.
Especially Xiao Bao's destiny...
It's an unchanging result, unaffected by anything.
Meanwhile, a young girl who might one day ascend the throne as empress spent ages calculating eight plus eighteen, using all ten fingers.
She didn't have enough, so she simply put her feet on the table as well.
The two children were startled by their younger sister's bold action.
Xiao Tang: "..."
The little guy couldn't even use twenty fingers, so he looked at Da Bao, who had finished his homework first.
"Hey, can I borrow one of your fingers too?"
Da Bao was speechless, his lips twitching, unsure how to respond to his younger sister.
He looked at Xiao Tang as if seeking her opinion, trying to discern whether she agreed or disagreed from her expression.
Xiao Tang lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "You can lend it to her."
Xiao Bao let out a loud cry and happily rushed over to pull his brother's finger.
"Wow, it's twenty-six."
Da Bao looked both amused and exasperated.
Although Erbao was also scratching his head in frustration, he wasn't as extreme as his younger sister, and he finished his homework before her.
"Mommy, I heard you recently got a Blood Jade." Erbao curiously leaned over. "Can we take a look?"
Da Bao immediately looked at Xiao Tang with anticipation.
Even Xiao Bao has given up counting on his fingers.
