Chapter 1418: Actually, that is your eldest grandson
Zhang Cheng looked at King Xiaoyao and remembered a legend he had heard.
Legend has it that this prince had a nickname - the Plucking Hair Prince.
It is easy to imagine how much this prince loves to take money from other people's pockets.
At the same time, Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that even if this was a portrait of the princess as a child, even if there was someone else in the portrait, the master would never allow this painting to be circulated again.
King Xiaoyao had been observing Xuanyuan Jin's expression. Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows and showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What do you think? Will Your Highness the Crown Prince accept this generous gift from me?" King Xiaoyao asked confidently.
Xuanyuan Jin calmly placed the scroll in the box. He didn't directly answer King Xiaoyao's question, but instead asked, "I wonder how much silver Your Highness spent on this painting?"
King Xiaoyao said calmly, "Not much, just six thousand taels of silver."
Xuanyuan Jin ordered Zhang Chengdao: "Take six thousand taels of silver and go help King Xiaoyao redeem the jade pendant."
"No need to bother!" King Xiaoyao said quickly, "How can we trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince any more? Just give the silver to Wu Yong and let him go."
King Xiaoyao spoke without blushing or panting.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with giving people gifts and asking them to pay for it.
I don't think he is too cruel to double the price as soon as he resells it.
Wu Yong nodded repeatedly, suppressing the smile that was about to bloom on his face, and said, "Yes, yes! I will go."
Wu Yong is familiar with this operation!
When he saw this, he already understood everything.
Our prince definitely did not buy the painting for six thousand taels.
The difference in price from this transaction belongs to the prince!
Alas! A dignified prince, actually spent so much effort for a mere three thousand taels of silver...
Wu Yong felt a little sad again.
There is no way. The prince, like the princess, cannot save any money.
After hearing what King Xiaoyao said, Xuanyuan Jin's lips curled up slightly.
"Your Highness, are you sure it's six thousand taels? Please don't make a mistake and ask for less." Xuanyuan Jin said meaningfully.
King Xiaoyao: “…”
Why does he feel like he's been seen through?
"I am not too old yet, and my memory is not bad. I remember it correctly." King Xiaoyao said without changing his expression.
Xuanyuan Jin nodded, without implying anything about King Xiaoyao, and glanced at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and counted out six thousand taels to give to Wu Yong.
On his way here, Wu Yong already knew that King Xiaoyao had pawned the jade pendant at Zhenbaozhai.
So, after taking the banknote, he glanced at King Xiaoyao's hand at his side out of the corner of his eye.
When he saw King Xiaoyao stretching out three fingers, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Hahahaha... Your Highness makes a 50-50 profit!
This money is really well earned!
Wu Yong excitedly put the banknotes into his arms and walked quickly towards Zhenbaozhai.
However, when he got to a place where there was no one, he took out the silver bills, counted out three thousand taels, and put them in his purse.
Xuanyuan Jin clasped his fists towards King Xiaoyao and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
King Xiaoyao naturally understood what this said.
As expected, the little girl from the Su family holds a very important position in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Not only did I make some money today, but I also did a favor for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It was worth the trip.
Xuanyuan respectfully invites King Xiaoyao into the mansion.
King Xiaoyao glanced at the fourth child.
The fourth child immediately bowed in a very serious manner.
"Su Chengzu greets the prince."
King Xiaoyao asked in a kind voice, "Who is your father? Have you ever received training as a soldier? Did you learn from your father? Did your father serve in the army?"
When King Xiaoyao asked this, Siwa's expression immediately darkened.
But he said, "I learned it from my mother. My mother is amazing. My father... is a great hero."
But, where is the hero?
Xuanyuan Jin's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "Your Highness, Chengzu is the child of the sixth branch of the Su family. The sixth brother died in the battlefield last year. Now the sixth branch of the Su family only has the sixth sister-in-law and Chengzu."
King Xiaoyao: “…”
My heart sank and I was filled with awe.
How difficult life must be for a man who died on the battlefield, leaving behind orphans and widows?
wrong!
King Xiaoyao suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The fifth son of the Su family just got married, but the sixth son's child is already a teenager...
Is this reasonable?
Whether it is reasonable or not, King Xiaoyao is not in a position to ask such questions.
King Xiaoyao patted Siwa's shoulder and said earnestly, "Good boy, your father is a hero of Dayan. In the future, you should be filial to your mother, study hard and practice martial arts, and live up to your father's expectations of you!"
A resolute expression immediately appeared on Siwa’s little face.
"Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness! In the future, I want to be like my father, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, defend my country, and win a title of Consort for my mother!" Siwa said confidently.
"Good boy! You have ambition!" King Xiaoyao looked at Siwa with eyes full of admiration.
And he patted Siwa's shoulder heavily.
This pat was full of temptation.
The fourth child exerted force on his lower body, and although he was young, he stood very steadily!
Although her little face was flushed red, her body did not move.
When King Xiaoyao saw it, he became more and more satisfied.
"Well, not bad!" King Xiaoyao nodded.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at King Xiaoyao, then at Siwa, but didn't say anything.
Xuanyuan Jin was not sure whether King Xiaoyao knew about the affair of replacing sisters in marriage in Prince Xiaoyao's palace.
He only knew that King Xiaoyao came to the capital this time to rescue his second daughter from the Heavenly Prison.
Wu Yunshuang must have a reason for not returning home.
Xuanyuan Jin was not a talkative person, and he didn't say anything about the matter between King Xiaoyao and his daughter.
Even though King Xiaoyao's biological daughter is now a widow in the Su family.
As one of the few people who guessed Wu Yunshuang's identity, Zhang Cheng's expression was a little strange at this moment.
He almost said to King Xiaoyao, "Actually, this is your eldest grandson!"
Siwa met a guest at the door, and it was a prince, so it was not easy for him to leave.
After all, Xuanyuan Jin’s surname is not Su.
Siwa accompanied King Xiaoyao and entered the Marquis' Mansion again.
After Wu Yunshuang came back, she did not go through the main gate, but through the side corner door.
The mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns everywhere, and it was full of joy.
Wu Yunshuang was wearing a veil hat and feeling the festive atmosphere, but she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Frame after frame of images kept appearing before her eyes, and finally turned into a blood-red color.
"Your Majesty, this way please!"
Xuanyuan Jin's voice came from not far away.
Wu Yunshuang shook her head and hurried to the corner.
Just before her figure flashed around the corner, Siwa happened to look over.
"Mom!" Siwa shouted in surprise and chased after her.
King Xiaoyao followed Siwa's gaze and saw only an apricot-yellow figure turning the corner.
King Xiaoyao's eyes flickered. This figure looked familiar, very much like Shuang'er...
King Xiaoyao raised his foot to chase after him.
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at King Xiaoyao and said, "That's the Sixth Sister-in-law of the Su family. She was widowed at a young age, but fortunately she has a filial son like Chengzu."
King Xiaoyao stopped again.
He is really confused.
Shuang'er is just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, how could she be the widow of the Su family?
Of course, it is even more impossible to have such a big son.
King Xiaoyao laughed at himself.
"Mom, you're back?"
Siwa's surprised voice came from afar.
"Well, your grandmother sent a message, asking mother to come back..."
A woman's voice, carried faintly by the breeze, reached King Xiaoyao's ears.
King Xiaoyao: “…”
How come even the voice sounds like frost?
