Chapter 25 I want to help you out, to give her the upper hand!
These children are between six and ten years old because they haven't been properly trained yet.
Therefore, the price for each person is not high.
The price ranges from approximately 100 to 2000 taels of silver.
The one worth 100 taels naturally indicates someone who has just completed some training.
Those earning around 2,000 taels are those who have been trained for several years but have not yet graduated or are about to graduate.
But that shopkeeper...
Since Qian Yueshu bought a lot, she was given one child for every 100 children, with an average price of 1,000 taels each.
100 would cost 100,000 taels, plus the 300,000 taels spent on buying assassins, as well as the black market entry fee and other miscellaneous items.
She spent a full 500,000 taels of silver on this trip to the black market.
Even if the Qian family is rich.
Qian Yueshu was heartbroken to spend 500,000 taels of silver at once!
Money is easy to spend, but hard to earn.
Despite her family's wealth, she doesn't spend a single penny...
but.
Fortunately, she gained many talented individuals who could be cultivated.
She arranged for all these people to reside in her fiefdom—Jingyang County.
After all, it's more convenient to do things in your own place.
Even if one day someone exposes her for cultivating her own power base.
That would simply mean better control over one's own territory.
It's not a serious crime!
In the evening.
Qian Yueshu was slumped in a soft chair, completely lacking any semblance of decorum.
After spending the whole day browsing the black market, I'm really tired.
Unexpectedly, just as she was crossing her legs and swinging them...
Xiao Qingxuan has arrived.
She assumed that the man had arrived so early yesterday and had been up all night.
Even if you come today.
That would have to be in the middle of the night.
I didn't expect the Crown Prince to arrive so early.
Qian Yueshu sat up straight, feeling a little guilty.
For two generations, they have been vying for favor.
She always presented herself in the best possible light to men.
This is the first time I've ever acted so unconcerned about my image.
Qian Yueshu sat up straight, feeling a little guilty.
Fortunately, Xiao Qingxuan didn't care at all.
"Tired?" He walked directly to the soft chair, took her wrist, and pulled her up from the chair.
"Mmm, I'm tired!" she said to the man in a coquettish tone, "I want a hug."
He wrapped his arm around Qian Yueshu and placed her in his embrace.
This is a gesture that strongly suggests possession.
She sat sideways on his lap, the crisp ambergris scent emanating from his clothes mingling with a hint of travel weariness: "Don't you have official duties to attend to today? Why are you here so early?"
"I missed you, so I came!" Xiao Qingxuan's voice carried an indescribable allure.
Her hand circled around the man's chest: "Did you see anything just now?"
What should I see?
She bit her lip, nestled into the man's arms a little embarrassed: "It was because you saw me in such an ugly state."
"In my eyes, the moon is always the most beautiful!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Qingxuan tilted his head to look at her, his tone full of concern: "What did you do today? Why are you so tired?"
She noticed that the man didn't seem to mind her sitting posture at all.
Instead, I felt sorry for her because she was tired.
Qian Yueshu was very happy and chattered with him for a long time.
She even personally brewed tea for him.
Last night I was too busy trying to ease my longing.
He came today.
Qian Yueshu revealed the date she had chosen for the county princess's victory celebration banquet.
But Xiao Qingxuan shook his head: "I think it would be better to arrange it a day later than Liu Yu's birthday banquet?"
"What do you mean by that?" Qian Yueshu's temper flared up immediately. "Are you saying I'm not worthy of being above Liu Yu? Or do you think I'm inferior to her?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a subtle silence fell over the dormitory.
"Look at you, throwing a tantrum again, aren't you?" In the end, Xiao Qingxuan was the first to give in, breaking the peace of the room.
He reached out to take Qian Yueshu's small hand.
She forcefully shook him off, shouting, "Don't touch me!"
Qian Yueshu's voice was muffled, tinged with a hint of defiance.
He leaned down slightly and patiently explained, his voice becoming even gentler: "I asked you to postpone it until after hers, just so that you could outdo her."
She still looked unwell.
Xiao Qingxuan continued to coax, "Look, at the items at the auction, which one isn't the grand finale? The better it is, the more worth waiting for, the more it should be placed last, so as to show its unique value."
"Are you saying I'm a thing?" Qian Yueshu was even more annoyed.
Xiao Qingxuan panicked instantly: "You know that's not what I meant!"
"It was my slip of the tongue, it was my fault." His lips were almost touching her earlobe, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.
"Hmph!" Qian Yueshu's expression softened considerably.
The man continued to coax, "How could you be anything in my heart? You are the apple of my eye, a precious treasure that I hold in my hands for fear of breaking, a precious gem that I cherish most."
actually.
Qian Yueshu also knew that he didn't really compare her to an object.
I just wanted to cause a ruckus.
Sometimes, a little fuss will make a man care about you.
It doesn't matter if you try to be unreasonable or cheat.
However, there needs to be a limit.
She buried her face in the man's chest, her expression a mixture of anger and coquettishness: "Hmph, sweet talk... I'll forgive you for now!"
Looking at her flushed cheeks and her still slightly pouting lips, Xiao Qingxuan placed a delicate and tender kiss beside her reddened eyes: "Good girl!"
"Is that good now?"
She suddenly looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "There are even more obedient ones!"
"How well-behaved?" the man teased.
"You can be as obedient as you want." Her voice carried a deliberately drawn-out, languid tone, and her eyes, as if hooked, seemed to steal one's soul.
"Oh? How so?" The man's voice carried a hint of mischief.
She leaned slightly forward, her breath sweet as orchids in Xiao Qingxuan's ear: "How about I undress you myself?"
Since being reborn.
Although they slept together quite a bit, Xiao Qingxuan always undressed himself.
He even took off her clothes.
Haven't tried to please him in a long time?
Just as Qian Yueshu squatted down to untie the ribbon around Xiao Qingxuan's waist, the man picked her up in his arms.
"Ah!" she gasped softly, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.
Xiao Qingxuan looked down at the person in his arms: "I don't want you to suffer."
She pursed her lips, her tone ingratiating: "Serving you is my pleasure."
"Then you can serve me again if you make me angry in the future," he said with a low laugh, his tone clearly teasing and doting.
On the bed.
She pressed her forehead against his and asked softly, "Why... are you so good to me?"
Didn't you say you wanted to get revenge on her?
It feels like they're treating her so much better than they did in the previous life.
They couldn't even bear to let her do something as simple as undressing.
It was so good that Qian Yueshu often felt it was unreal.
It was so wonderful that she was afraid it was just a beautiful illusion!
Then.
Qian Yueshu's eyes reddened again.
Because she feared that this kindness would later become the most ruthless weapon to take revenge on her.
He cupped her face in his hands and gently brushed her eyes with his fingertips.
