In fact, Lin Jinghan had no idea how much her dowry was worth, so she asked quietly, "I have the Empress Dowager's five hundred thousand taels. Isn't that enough for a dowry?"
"Oh, that's not the case. I forgot about it." Sikong Zhan just remembered that they had conspired to cheat the Queen Mother out of 500,000 taels. This money was perfect for buying Lin Wanrou's dowager. If the Queen Mother saw Lin Wanrou using her own banknotes to reward the palace maids, who knows what would happen...
Speaking of scamming people, he remembered something and looked at Lin Jinghan, "Get ready. Tonight, we're going to scam some more people to make up for the loss of your makeup."
"Oh." She responded casually. Although she was curious, she didn't ask any more questions.
She saved the Jingnan Army, so he no longer forced her to share a room or bed. This was the condition she had proposed that day, and he had accepted it. However, they both tacitly understood this and just went along with the show. Therefore, there was no need to expose her true feelings to him, and she didn't want to ask about his intentions and plans.
After lunch, they practiced for another hour, and then it was time to practice calligraphy, practice writing, and memorize. Sikong Zhan did not stay with Lin Jinghan, but asked someone to watch her and left.
Mu Wenyao received the news at noon and was summoned to the palace. Just as he arrived, before he could even stand still, a sword flew towards him.
He dodged with a wrong step and caught the sword. As soon as the sword was in his hand, Sikong Zhan's sword moves came towards him.
"Hey, I came all the way here and haven't even had a sip of tea, and you ask me to spar with you. Isn't this too unreasonable!" Mu Wenyao complained while resisting in a hurry.
Sikong Zhan paid no attention to his whining and used increasingly fierce sword moves, leaving Mu Wenyao with no chance of defense.
After a few moves, Sikong Zhan's sword was on Mu Wenyao's neck. "What a bad idea you gave me! Not only did the princess not change her mind about me, but..." Instead, she treated him like that! But King Jingnan couldn't say such words.
"Huh..." It turned out that the princess had asked him to practice with her. Mu Wenyao breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out two fingers to push away Sikong Zhan's sword, and sat down on a stool without any image. He asked:
"What did you do to the princess? Tell me and I'll analyze it for you."
Sikong Zhan sat down with a gloomy face, carefully recalling every detail of his time with Lin Jinghan today, and said domineeringly:
"I followed her wishes and didn't let her live in Gaoyuan Hall. In order to spend more time with her, I became her tutor and taught her how to paint..."
"That sounds great. This strategy is fine. How does the princess react?" Mu Wenyao became interested and moved his stool closer to Sikong Zhan, his face full of excitement. "Is the princess happy or unhappy? When you touch her, does she resist or get angry, or is she shy and reluctant?"
Sikong Zhan thought about it seriously and shook his head. "She didn't resist, nor was she shy..." It seemed like she had deliberately teased him! And afterwards, she acted as if nothing had happened!
"Impossible?" Mu Wenyao stepped back slightly and looked at Sikong Zhan inquiringly. "Your Highness, in order to better serve as your military advisor, I feel it is necessary to understand the entire process of your relationship with the princess!"
Sikong Zhan looked at Mu Wen Yao half-believingly, and Mu Wen Yao nodded firmly. So Sikong Zhan slowly told him about his relationship with Lin Jinghan. Of course, he was embarrassed to tell him about the fights between them.
Mu Wenyao was stunned when he heard half of it. After hearing the whole thing, his mouth opened into an O shape and he couldn't close it anymore:
Oh my god, this isn't the prince chasing the princess, this is simply the princess teasing the prince! Or the kind of teasing that completely refuses to take responsibility! In my lifetime, I actually got to see this. No, I heard that Sikong Zhan was being led by the nose. The princess is really a deity!
Sikong Zhan was already upset, and seeing Mu Wenyao like this, he became even more annoyed. He rudely shut his mouth and said, "Tell me quickly, what exactly does it mean that the princess took the initiative to hug me today? Is she hinting to me that I can take a step closer?"
"Your Highness!" Seeing that Sikong Zhan hadn't figured out the situation at all, Mu Wenyao quickly interrupted his reverie and said earnestly,
"In my opinion, if you take another step closer, Your Highness, you will probably be beaten out by the Princess!"
Sikong Zhan was unhappy and looked at Mu Wenyao questioningly, "Didn't you say that I should respect her, appear in front of her often, have physical contact with her from time to time, and occasionally touch her private parts? I did everything you taught me, so how could I be beaten out?" Is the method taught by Mu Wenyao reliable?
Mu Wenyao slapped his forehead, feeling quite hopeless.
"My Lord, I taught you that to seduce..."
Realizing that the wording was inappropriate, he quickly corrected himself: "It's used to conquer those innocent girls. It might not be appropriate to use it on the princess..." Not only is it inappropriate, if things continue like this, it will be the princess conquering the prince...
Here, he not only has to serve as a deputy general, but also as a love advisor. It's really too difficult! No, he must ask Sikong Zhan for double the military pay, no, triple, well, triple is still not enough, for this kind of hard work, quadruple, no less!
Sikong Zhan was thoughtful: If I think about it carefully, although Mu Wenyao has many confidantes, it seems that none of them are like the princess. I must be using the wrong method! "Tell me, what method should I use to make the princess fall in love with me?"
Mu Wenyao didn't tell him the method, but instead extended four fingers towards Sikong Zhan, "Four times the military pay, and I will teach you how to conquer the princess!"
Good, you actually took the opportunity to ask for money! However, it seems that Mu Wenyao is the only one who has the most female friends around him. Those girls are all attracted to him. If they want to pursue the princess, they can only ask him for help and advice. In order to be able to hold the princess in his arms every day to sleep, spending a little more money is worth it!
He stood up and said domineeringly: "If you can make the princess fall in love with me, I will give you ten times the military pay and five years' pay at once!"
"Deal!" Mu Wenyao stood up and the two of them walked towards Nuanfeng Courtyard with high spirits.
Lin Jinghan is practicing calligraphy, holding the brush very well. You know what, if you don't look at the words on the paper, they really look like they're written.
Sikong Zhan appeared silently, stopped the maid from bowing, put his left arm around Lin Jinghan's waist, and held her hand with his right hand, his warm breath caressing her face. "When writing, hold the pen steady, write accurately, make each stroke smooth and flowing, and end without hesitation!"
After he finished writing the character "湛" with her, he dipped the brush in ink and planned to write the character "涵" next to it.
Lin Jinghan refused to cooperate and clenched her right fist, saying, "Prince, you taught me to keep your distance!"
