Chapter 152 A pair of wild mandarin ducks who can't wait

"You want to barter it?"

Seeing that Emperor Wu Su had a bad tone, the light in his eyes instantly turned into a deep dark glow.

"no."

Ji Qingwu took the jade ring and quickly explained: "I am just mortgaging it, and I will redeem it later."

She likes this green jade.

But now the only valuable item she had in her hand besides the red lotus bracelet was this jade ring.

And he said that he just bought it from a street vendor. She thought the jade didn't look like an ordinary item, so she wanted to try it for emergency use.

She did have some other gold and silver jewelry, and after returning home, Qiao bought a lot of them for her. But if the ornaments she wore were discovered and pawned, it would be bad for her and the Ji family's reputation.

Seeing that he was silent, Ji Qingwu's eyes became sharper, as if she was very unhappy with her behavior. She wondered why the emperor cared so much about a small jade ring.

She asked timidly, "Is it not possible?"

Since I gave it to her, it is hers.

If this jade can only be displayed at home for viewing, even if it is valuable, people will get tired of looking at it every day. It is better to put it to some practical use.

Without him saying anything, Ji Qingwu felt the air around him getting a little colder.

It seems that it is not possible...

Ji Qingwu shook the jade in his hand and said quickly, "Isn't it that I have no collateral? It's still with me."

Emperor Wu Su looked at her with a pair of cold eyes and said, "It's not that you don't want to, but you were rejected by Duan Mingfeng."

He could have anticipated such a situation. Ji Qingwu exclaimed: "You really have foresight!"

Emperor Wu Su looked at her innocent expression and her half-true and half-false praise, and suddenly took a step forward. Ji Qingwu had nowhere to retreat and could only press her back against the wall.

She looked up at him and said in a gentle tone, "You are rich and powerful, so you naturally cannot understand the difficulties of ordinary people like us. I am also short of money at the moment, so I had to think of this idea. It is really just a temporary mortgage, and I will redeem it."

She said it with certainty, and it didn't sound like she was lying.

Emperor Wu Su frowned and asked, "What do you want to do with it as collateral?"

Ji Qingwu said simply, "Doing business." She briefly explained her plan.

Then he asked expectantly, "What do you think of this idea?"

Only Ji Qingwu can run this medical clinic business for women. No other doctor can do it. Just for this reason, there is great potential for this business.

I don't know where she came up with this novel idea.

Emperor Wu Su nodded and his eyes fell on the green jade in her hand.

"If you want to do it, just go ahead and do it. But why didn't you tell me you were short of money?"

After getting his affirmation, although it was just a nod, Ji Qingwu felt at ease.

"I'm not in need of anything, I just don't have any cash to work with, and I can't ask my family for it."

When she was short of money, she didn't ask her family for it, but thought of the jade ring he gave her first.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wu Su's face looked as bright as clouds after rain, and he felt much more relieved.

Ji Qingwu didn't know which words would make the Emperor happy. She thought about it and tried to say something that would please him.

"After hearing that the border was not peaceful, my father sent a special letter asking our family to strictly control spending so as to raise money for military pay and food."

Her eyes were clear as water as she continued, "The court is in need of money right now, how can I bother you?"

Emperor Wu Su's lips curled slightly: "Didn't you say that I am rich and powerful, so it's okay to give you some."

"Go back and tell Lord Ji that he doesn't need to worry about this matter. No one in the Ji family is allowed to reduce their food, clothing and other expenses by even a little bit."

Compared with the soldiers fighting desperately on the battlefield, they just made fewer new clothes and ate fewer expensive dishes.

Ji Qingwu said sincerely: "The Ji family is happy to share the worries of the court, and will first worry about what your majesty is worried about."

Having heard this countless times, Emperor Wu Su could tell who was sincere and who was insincere.

He shook his head and said, "My biggest worry is not the military pay. I have a bigger worry, and only you can share it with me."

Ji Qingwu's breathing stagnated.

He said, "But I don't want you to share my worries. I want you to enjoy yourself. I want to enjoy myself with Hou Awu."

Emperor Wu Su held her between the wall and his arm, and said in a low voice: "I can find ways to solve other problems, but you are the only one that gives me a severe headache. Do you know why?"

Ji Qingwu's head was buzzing, as if there were thousands of bees buzzing around, and she felt a little dizzy.

But after the buzzing, it felt like it was soaked in honey.

A little sweet.

Ji Qingwu suddenly thought that she knew why Jiujiu was easily bribed and defected by him with a few pieces of candy.

If Emperor Wu Su wants to coax you, it's like being knocked unconscious by honey and being entangled in a dense web made of sugar threads. There is nowhere to escape and you have to give your heart to him.

It's not like the little girl lacks concentration, she also...

Suddenly, Ji Qingwu thought of something, his body shook, and he pushed away the man who was leaning over him.

She said in panic, "Oh no!"

First, she wanted to pawn the jade he gave her to the shop, and now, after he said something that was like a confession of his true feelings, she boldly pushed him away. There was an obvious dangerous look between Emperor Wu Su's eyebrows.

Ji Qingwu put his hand on his chest and said seriously, "It's time to pick up Jiujiu from school. I told her today that I would go to the study to pick her up."

After saying that, she half squatted down and then nimbly slipped under his long arms.

Seeing that she was about to escape again, he grabbed her collar with his backhand and pulled her back with a little force.

Ji Qingwu glared and said, "The little guy will be unhappy if he can't see me. Jiujiu is very difficult to comfort."

Especially since she vowed last night that she would pick her up, the little girl was so excited that she even ate half a bowl of rice more for dinner.

When Emperor Wu Su heard that she was in such a hurry to leave because she wanted to pick up Jiujiu instead of avoiding him, his expression softened a little.

His bass voice came into Ji Qingwu's ears.

"You just ran away like that, and I'm still not happy. Is there a certain order to coaxing people?"

"What order?" Ji Qingwu asked.

"I'm easy to coax." Emperor Wu Su hooked his fingers around her collar and pulled her into his arms. He put his other hand around her slender waist and said slowly, "So, coax me first."

How would she coax him?

No, why should she coax him?

In this position of hugging her from behind, she couldn't see his expression, but she could feel the man's breath brushing against her soft neck, making her feel itchy and hot.

Ji Qingwu shrank her shoulders uncomfortably, and his arms tightened around her, making her unable to move in his warm embrace.

He whispered, "Don't move, just hold me."

The tone was not gentle, and upon closer listening, it contained an unexpected threat.

Ji Qingwu's heart was pounding.

This time was different from usual, it was like a spring thunder on a sunny day, rumbling and making my heart feel bright and cheerful.

After Princess Qingyun was reprimanded and left by the emperor, all the girls and servants in Liangxiang Pavilion were released. Several young ladies wanted to go upstairs to see how Mo Lingling was doing.
