"Alright, you can come with me to Chengde Ward to retrieve it. Lan Ye will go ahead first. Take care, young lady."
King Lingguang handed a bunch of keys to the nearest guard and said to me.
I imitated him and said, "Take care."
This serious and proper King Lingguang is really hard to get used to. He seems to have become much more handsome. Gone are his frivolous words and exaggerated expressions. He really has the feeling of an immortal.
Xiaoqing and I went back happily. The guard was clearly not as bold as his prince, and he kept glancing at Xiaoqing all the way.
Xiao Qing felt a little embarrassed, and a slight blush appeared on her face, which was really inconsistent with her cold and domineering image.
Xiao Qing has excellent lightness skills, and that guard is also a martial arts master. We practically flew to Chengdefang.
After arriving at Chengdefang, we turned and turned through several streets before the guard led us to a secluded place. He opened a dusty wooden door and led us through the back door into a private residence.
There was a basement storeroom inside, which was indeed filled with a dazzling array of items: gold and silver jewelry, jade and porcelain, antiques and calligraphy and paintings—you name it. No wonder he's a prince; he has so much money he doesn't know where to put it all.
I wonder if Ji Ruchen has that much money too. It's a pity, it will all belong to someone else in the future!
Sigh... What am I thinking? I should just grab the money and get out of here.
Oh no! I was so happy about this windfall that I forgot how I'm going to take all this stuff. No wonder King Lingguang agreed so readily; he probably knew I wouldn't be able to move all this stuff.
Otherwise, wouldn't it have been better if he had just given me the silver notes directly? Why go through all this trouble by having someone bring me to his warehouse? Isn't he afraid that I'll be tempted by the money and conspire with his guards to take all these things away?
"Xiao Qing, do you have a way to move these things away quietly?" Having no other options, I could only pin my hopes on Xiao Qing. This time when we met, Xiao Qing seemed to have become quite mysterious; perhaps she had some way out.
Xiao Qing thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head.
"There's nothing we can do, we can't move it. Miss, you've been tricked."
Ugh, if there's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do. Why keep poking at people's sore spots? It's not cute anymore. Right now, I wish I had a house that could change size at will. Sigh.
Suddenly, a beautiful house appeared before them, resplendent and glittering, even brighter than the gold and silver jewels inside. The words "Hundred Treasures Pavilion" were written on the door.
My first thought when I saw the house was, "This is my property, and he will listen to me."
I tried to open the door, but it opened automatically. When I went inside, I saw that it was full of all sorts of odds and ends, like some kind of warehouse. A thought suddenly struck me: this is perfect for storing all my treasures! This is truly a stroke of luck!
I just don't know if it can change size at will. If it can't, wouldn't that be a double loss? I wouldn't get anything good, and the King of Lingguang would get such a good thing for nothing. I'd be so frustrated.
I'll give him a try.
I closed my eyes and silently repeated "small, small, small" in my mind. When I opened my eyes again, it had grown to the size of a box containing jade and jewelry.
As I silently repeated "big, big, big," it visibly grew larger.
What a wonderful treasure! Did God take pity on me for being abandoned and know that I love these mundane things, so He gave it to me to ease my sorrow?
This little angel is just so adorable!
"Xiao Qing, look at that person, this, this, this..."
I was so excited that I stammered, but I still wanted to show off my silly side.
