"One hundred taels! Not a cent less!"
Zhao Si stretched out a finger and said with gritted teeth.
"One hundred taels?"
Lian Zhi couldn't help himself when he saw Zhao Si's loud mouth.
An ordinary family would spend at most ten or twenty taels of gold to buy a maid or servant, but he wants a hundred taels of gold for such a small child. Does he think this is made of gold?
Bah, so shameless!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was about to lift the curtain and go down to argue with him, but was stopped by Shen Wangshu.
She held her hand and signaled her to be patient.
"Okay! I can give you the money you want, but I have one condition."
Shen Wangshu said, looking at the little boy lying on the ground dying.
"you say."
Zhao Si didn't doubt it and said directly.
"I'll take the 100 taels of silver and take the little boy away."
"Just take it away."
Zhao Si waved his hand disapprovingly. He thought it was some kind of condition, but this is the result.
Shen Wangshu nodded, turned around and lowered the curtain.
Then, she took out a silver note from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Lianzhi, "Lianzhi, go take care of him and bring him back to the palace."
"Your Majesty..."
Lianzhi called out hesitantly.
Shen Wangshu glanced at her calmly, his eyes revealing a warning, "Be obedient."
Lianzhi bit her lip and said, "Yes."
Shen Wangshu nodded in satisfaction, then told the driver to drive to the palace.
......
Just as Shen Wangshu's carriage arrived at the first palace gate and was about to go in, a carriage also drove over from the other side.
Moreover, there was no intention of stopping.
But the road is only this wide, and if they try to cross, they will definitely collide.
However, the two coachmen driving the carriage didn't want each other, and for a moment they were deadlocked at the palace gate.
"Please make way, my master is in a hurry to enter the palace."
The driver opposite spoke first, his tone somewhat impatient.
Shen Wangshu's coachman was the one assigned to her by the old emperor, so when he heard someone talking to him in such a domineering tone, he was unhappy.
"If anyone wants to give way, it should be you. My master is more anxious to enter the palace!"
"Do you know who's in my carriage?" The driver opposite was also furious. "You'd better look carefully. Whose carriage is this?"
When Shen Wangshu's driver heard this, he turned around and looked carefully at the carriage opposite. Judging from the grandeur, the construction of the carriage and the logo, it turned out to be the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion.
But, so what?
No matter how respected the Prince of Chen is, he is still a minister. He used to drive the carriage for the emperor, and now he drives the carriage for the favored imperial concubine. How can he be inferior to the other?
"Then do you know who is sitting in my carriage? If you delay us, can you bear the consequences if the Emperor calls you to task?"
…
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Shen Wangshu rubbed his forehead helplessly.
She gently lifted a corner of the curtain again and said calmly, "Uncle Cheng, let them go first."
Uncle Cheng was stunned for a moment, then responded and stepped aside.
The carriage beside him gradually left, and Shen Wangshu slowly lowered the curtain, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Really, I don’t feel safe even when I return to the palace.
However, just as the carriage on the opposite side drove in, the person in the carriage suddenly opened his eyes.
Mo Sichen was thinking about the woman's voice just now, and he felt more and more confused.
Why is the voice of that woman just now somewhat similar to the voice of the woman last night?
But all those who can enter the palace today are noble ladies from Kyoto. How could they, being noble ladies from aristocratic families, go to a place like Yetinghua?
He thought he must be crazy, as he had become a little sensitive because of that woman.
Qinggu investigated today and found that there was no new person named Shu'er in Yetinghua. She must have used a fake name for him, and it was not certain whether she was a member of Yetinghua.
Not only did she seduce him and sleep with him, she also left a note and teased him afterwards. This woman is really bold.
It’s better not to let him find her, otherwise... hum...
After an incense stick of time, Shen Wangshu finally returned to his palace.
"Your Majesty, you're finally back! The Emperor has sent people to urge you several times. Hey, where's Lianzhi? Why didn't she come back with you?"
When Nanny Qin saw Shen Wangshu coming back, she immediately came forward to greet him.
Shen Wangshu rubbed his brows and said, "Well, I understand. Lianzhi should be here soon. Madam, please tell someone to dress me up now."
Nanny Qin is actually a nice person, but she is too nagging. Sometimes my head hurts after listening to her too much.
The palace banquet will begin in less than an hour, so she has to hurry and prepare. Maybe the old emperor will suddenly feel like asking her to perform in front of all the ministers tonight.
Thinking of this, she smiled at herself again.
Everyone knows how much the current emperor dotes on the imperial concubine.
In fact, it is not the case. If he really loves her sincerely, how could he let her dance like a dancer at every banquet and entertain others?
An incense stick later, Shen Wangshu was ready. She put on a water-red long dress that dragged on the ground, showing off her exquisite curves to the fullest.
Her hair was tied into an elegant bun, with a golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with pearls and gems inserted on it, and a golden hairpin with a cloud-like bun and a flower-like face inserted diagonally on the other side, and a pair of ruby earrings on her earlobes.
Coupled with her exquisite makeup, she looks even more noble and charming, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
