Mo Chi said calmly to the matchmaker.
"From what you've said, this woman is indeed very good."
The matchmaker thought things were looking promising.
He said immediately.
"Yes, yes, it's excellent!"
"Since it's such a good thing, why don't you give me ten thousand taels of gold first so I can pay off my gambling debts, and then we can get married?"
Ye Qianqian burst out laughing.
[What a clever self-deprecating tactic to reject a marriage proposal!]
Any woman would run away in fear if she heard a man offer such conditions!
really.
The matchmaker's expression immediately changed.
"Mo Chi, what are you saying!"
"You don't gamble normally!"
Mo Chi nodded.
"Yes, when we were outside the palace, I never went into the gambling den, because I wanted to give people a good impression!"
"But in private, I would gamble with the guards in the palace during my breaks from my duties!"
"Well, lately I've been having really bad luck, and I've lost ten thousand taels of gold. Luckily, the woman you introduced seems determined to marry me, and she's the daughter of a wealthy merchant! I'm sure she'll be willing to give me those ten thousand taels to pay off my gambling debts!"
"Furthermore, after we got married, all the gambling debts I incurred had to be paid off by her family!"
The matchmaker's eyebrows twitched twice.
"Mo Chi, don't try to provoke me with these words!"
“I know that gambling is strictly prohibited in the palace!”
"If you really gamble, you will definitely be caught!"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to work in the palace anymore!"
Mo Chi frowned.
[Oh my! This matchmaker is indeed knowledgeable; she can tell at a glance that Mo Chi is deliberately pretending to be a gambler!]
[It seems this tactic is definitely not going to work! I'll see how things unfold next!]
"Mo Chi, this girl is really good!"
"She's heard of you too, and has always wanted to marry you!"
Mo Chi shook his head.
"Please leave!"
The matchmaker refused to give up.
"Mo Chi, think it over again!"
"No need to consider it anymore, I won't accept it!"
"Well, you have to tell me what kind of woman you want, so I can find one for you!"
Just then, Ye Qianqian walked over.
"He wants someone like me!"
Mo Chi was taken aback.
He looked at Ye Qianqian with a shocked expression.
Why are you looking at me like that! I'm just trying to get you out of this predicament, okay?! Now, just watch my performance!
I promise, after I finish speaking, that matchmaker will run away and never come looking for you again!
Ye Qianqian said, "My family and his family were betrothed when we were young!"
"If they are of the same sex, they shall become brothers and sisters; if they are a man and a woman, they shall become husband and wife!"
"My mother got pregnant relatively late, and I was born quite late as well!"
"But that doesn't stop me from marrying him when I come of age. It just means he'll have to wait another twelve years!"
“He is a martial artist and naturally has a lot of patience. He is willing to wait until he is 27 years old before marrying me.”
The matchmaker stared blankly at Mo Chi.
"Is what she said true?"
Mo Chi was hesitating about what to say.
Ye Qianqian was frantically giving him meaningful glances!
You'd better nod already!
This princess is saving you from dire straits!
Otherwise, you'll really have to marry someone you don't want!
Mo Chi nodded and said.
"That's right, I'm willing to wait until she comes of age before marrying her!"
"Please don't try to arrange any more marriages for me! Otherwise—"
Mo Chi drew his sword directly!
The matchmaker saw the gleaming sword.
I was startled.
"Alright, alright, since Mo Chi already has a betrothal, I won't waste any more time on you!"
Wishing you and your lovely wife a harmonious and loving marriage!
After the matchmaker finished speaking...
I was so scared I ran away!
After Mo Chi closed the door.
Ye Qianqian shrugged and looked at him with a smug expression.
"How about that? Wasn't I amazing? I got you out of that predicament in no time!"
Mo Chi immediately knelt down in front of Ye Qianqian.
"What merit or ability do I possess to have the princess risk her own reputation to save me from this predicament!"
"Look at you! It's such a small matter! You actually knelt down to thank me!"
"If you don't tell, and I don't tell, no one in the palace will know what happened today. And that matchmaker doesn't know I'm a princess!"
"Even if I grow up, she still won't recognize me!"
"I am ashamed! I have troubled the princess with my troubles!"
"Alright, alright, enough with the pleasantries! Get up! This princess is going to sleep!"
After Ye Qianqian finished speaking, she went into the inner room.
Then the problem arises.
Ye Qianqian is only three years old.
Then, he was too short to climb onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
Ye Qianqian kicked a few times with all her might.
I still can't climb up.
Ye Qianqian felt helpless.
"Hey! Mo Chi, carry me up!"
"yes!"
Mo Chi immediately came over.
He carried Ye Qianqian to the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Please rest, Your Highness."
"Um!"
Ye Qianqian lay down.
A three-year-old child.
My physical strength is limited.
After shopping all morning, Ye Qianqian felt very tired.
She fell asleep very quickly.
Mo Chi walked into the courtyard, sat in a rocking chair, and closed his eyes for a nap.
Inside the palace.
When Ye Ling learned from Consort Jin that Mo Chi had taken Ye Qianqian out of the palace, she was initially very nervous.
"Mo Chi has a cold personality. Can he take good care of the little princess? Don't let him lose Qianqian later."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Mo Chi may appear cold, but he is a very earnest child at heart."
"He can definitely take good care of Qianqian! Qianqian is three years old now! She's at the age where she loves to play, so it's normal for her to like going out of the palace."
"Your Majesty might give the little princess a token so that she can leave the palace to play at any time, of course, she will need someone to accompany her."
Ye Ling thought for a moment.
"At her age, she should be studying hard and getting her education, why is she only thinking about playing?"
Consort Jin laughed.
"Your Majesty, don't forget Qianqian's true identity. The lessons we're teaching her now are just familiar knowledge to her! She definitely has no interest in learning what she already knows! Naturally, she won't be enthusiastic about attending classes!"
"Let her go out and play! It's a good opportunity for the little princess to see the world outside the palace, instead of always being confined inside the palace."
Ye Ling nodded.
"Jin'er, now that you say it, I understand!"
"Qianqian should be a free bird, not a pet trapped in a cage! Let her be!"
"Yes!" Consort Jin nodded.
