Chapter 516: Ordinary Little Wit

Si Linglong was still happily calculating with Shu Hong, when the next second, she heard a slightly sinister male voice coming from the door.

"I still have a few changed robes. My beloved, would you like to take them to the charity sale as well?"

Si Linglong, who was still working out the list of items for the charity sale with her two maids, was startled when she heard the voice. She turned around and saw Helian Yue walking in with a sullen face. One of them hurriedly pulled up his trouser legs while the other helped Si Linglong, who was not wearing shoes, to stand up.

Helian Yue then noticed that she was still applying the hot towel to her legs. His heart skipped a beat, but he still looked dissatisfied as he walked up to her and sat down next to her.

"You dare to take my personal belongings at will? You are really bold now." Helian Yue snorted coldly and glanced at her.

Si Linglong was startled for a moment, but soon moved closer to him obediently.

"Isn't this just to stir up the atmosphere? And...I will definitely take pictures of the emperor's things in the name of the Si family."

Although it is like transferring money from one hand to the other, this will give the Si family a good reputation for helping disaster victims, and they will not need to make extra arrangements if they want to become an imperial merchant in the future.

These are all benefits.

It can be said that at this charity banquet, whether it was the Queen Mother’s Buddhist beads or A Yue’s personal belongings, they were all there just to anchor the auction.

After all, apart from such an opportunity, who else could have such a chance to blatantly obtain the "useful item"?

Helian Yue had already heard her previous argument, and now when he heard that she was planning to pay for it herself to shoot it again, he felt much more relieved.

But after all, we can't let her do such a "mess".

"The Queen Mother donated the Buddhist beads that she had carried with her for many years. If I only took out items like pillows and sachets, it would be unconventional."

What's more, since it belongs to the emperor, how can one compete for it with money?

"How about this," Helian Yue said, "Whoever makes the highest donation at this charity banquet will have an inscription written by me personally."

The emperor's calligraphy is also an alternative award.

Si Linglong thought this was a good idea. "That's good. It shows that we are noble and sophisticated."

[I have to get this news out in advance.]

The more Helian listened to her thoughts, the more helpless and amused he felt. He also heard her secretly lamenting.

[I can only wait for the next opportunity to auction the soft pillow used by A Yue. ]

The corner of Helian Yue's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but tap her on the head with his finger.

There will be a next time?

Si Linglong covered her head with her hands, looking innocent and aggrieved.

Helian Yue sent everyone out of the room and personally wrapped a hot towel to apply to her legs. Even if he didn't say anything else, one could feel his approval and support for her action.

For Si Linglong, this is enough.

…

In the next two days, Helian Yue was busy with the disaster relief affairs of the previous dynasty and had basically no time to come to the back palace. Si Linglong was busy with the arrangements for the palace banquet and even forgot about Hua Yan. If Shu Hong hadn't suddenly mentioned it, Si Linglong would have forgotten that she had brought a little mermaid back from Yuxiu Palace.

But she really can't take care of her right now.

Just as he was about to tell her to stay put and not run around, his eyes suddenly fell on the banquet menu beside him and he raised his eyebrows for a while.

"I remember there are no programs scheduled for the palace banquet." Si Linglong narrowed her eyes and immediately hooked her hand to signal Shu Hong, "Let her go on stage when the time comes."

Shu Hong was a little surprised when she heard this, "She? But I'm afraid there's not enough time to arrange the music right now..."

"No need to rehearse, just let her sing a cappella." Si Linglong said, "Remember, ask someone from the Quyuan to choose a song for her that can evoke a sad and resonant tune."

Si Linglong recalled the way the people around her were immersed in her singing that day. If she was really a mermaid...

That song can't be wasted.

Thinking of this, Si Linglong couldn't help but brag about herself in her heart.

【Well, I am just a plain little wit. 】

After arranging the last thing, on the third day, the charity banquet organized by Si Linglong and everyone else was finally officially unveiled.
