After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Seeing that Empress Xie did not agree for a while, Chun Ning looked at Qin Yaoguang, then at Empress Xie, and said timidly: "Imperial sister..."

Qin Yaoguang raised his hand to stop her from speaking.

If Chun Ning took the initiative to ask for a price reduction, she would be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Queen Xie.

Between the two of them, Chun Ning naturally chose the imperial sister and immediately kept silent.

In her heart, she was also shocked by the five hundred taels of gold.

Even though she was a princess of the royal family and had seen all kinds of rare treasures, Chun Ning had never seen five hundred taels of gold.

How much would that be?

She had no idea at all, she just knew that there were a lot of them.

If it really works, then wouldn't she and the emperor's sister have made a lot of money for nothing? This is just one person, there are still seven or eight people left.

Thinking of this, Chun Ning's heart became hot.

Who would complain about having too much money?

Not a fool.

After figuring this out, Chun Ning immediately decided not to speak any more and began to concentrate on studying the patterns of the gold bricks laid in Fengyang Palace.

Qin Yaoguang roughly guessed what Empress Xie was thinking. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then said calmly, "If Her Majesty the Empress feels embarrassed, I will take my leave first."

"The Minister of the Imperial Guard holds great power, so it is only natural that Your Majesty would have concerns."

After saying this, she put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and was about to leave.

Queen Xie tried to hold back, but finally couldn't.

If Qin Yaoguang left her place, the only places she could go were Wende Hall or Xining Palace.

The possibility of an emperor and an empress dowager rejecting her is very small.

Besides, as long as she took Chun Ning to Wende Hall, the Grand Tutor would immediately know that the person had left from her place.

Give up such a great opportunity?

The first person Le Yang came to see was obviously her.

Thinking of her father's serious face, Empress Xie took a deep breath and said, "Leyang, I can send someone to go, but as to whether it can be done or not, I wonder if the Xue family is willing to pay 500 taels of gold to redeem the person..."

She left room for maneuver in her words.

But this confrontation ended with Queen Xie's defeat.

"Then we two sisters would like to thank the Queen first."

Qin Yaoguang got the upper hand and immediately acted nicely. She pulled Chun Ning together to perform blessing ceremony to Queen Xie, expressing her sincere gratitude.

A man who can bend and stretch is a real man.

At this time, Empress Xie no longer felt the satisfaction of watching the two of them perform the ceremony. She waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite. This is my duty."

After solving the most difficult 500 taels of gold, the rest will be easy.

The ransom was determined according to the official position of the father in the court, starting from two hundred taels of gold and going down. The cheapest one cost fifty taels of gold.

At last, Empress Xie could not help but say, "Leyang, you are a princess, why do you want so much gold? It would be better to ask them to present ancient books and paintings, which are not expensive."

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "If we do what the queen said, wouldn't that be cutting off their hearts? No, no, if it gets out, they will think that our royal princess is a robber."

Queen Xie, you don't understand. Nothing is as useful as this real gold and silver.

Even after two thousand years, gold will still be hard currency. Money can solve most of the problems in the world, not to mention that she has the noble status of the eldest princess in the Great Jing Dynasty.

She is not one of those "common men" who are guilty of possessing a treasure.

As long as her emperor brother is still on the throne, she is not afraid of anything.

The great upheaval that affected the succession of the throne of the entire Dajing Dynasty happened ten years later. During these ten years, she was indestructible.

Hearing her say this, Empress Xie wanted to roll her eyes, but the etiquette for a girl from an aristocratic family did not allow her to do so.

Chun Ning, however, was delighted in her heart.

Although she didn't know how much the gold was worth, she could tell from Queen Xie's reaction that the money was worth a lot.

Isn't this considered cutting off their hearts? What the imperial sister said is really interesting.

Even Chun Ning herself didn't realize that in just half a day, the way she looked at Qin Yaoguang changed from alienation, envy, closeness, dependence, to admiration.

She made a 180-degree turn and became Qin Yaoguang's fan girl.

After this was settled, Qin Yaoguang said, "Empress, are we here to disturb your lunch?"

Queen Xie nodded, she was already hungry.

Just as she was about to order the meal to be served again so that the two princesses could eat with her, Qin Yaoguang said again: "My apologies, my apologies. In this case, Chun Ning and I will take our leave first. We will return to Princess Chun Ning's residence and wait for good news from the Queen."

After saying this, she took Chun Ning to bow and leave, and did not forget to urge the queen to work: "Your Majesty, it is already noon, and there are still three hours before the palace gates will be locked."

This is to remind Queen Xie that time is tight.

"Alright, I understand."

Seeing that Empress Xie was unhappy, Chun Ning pinched her thigh hard, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said sadly, "Chun Ning, thank you, Empress, for taking charge."

After watching the two leave, Queen Xie stood there for a long time before ordering someone to set the table again.

The senior maid standing behind her said indignantly, "Empress, the two princes came and left as they pleased. They clearly came to ask you for a favor, but they even refused to stay for lunch with you. They don't even know how to behave as a guest."

It's simply like crossing a river and destroying the bridge.

"That's all."

Empress Xie lowered her eyes: "Le Yang's temper, he even dared to contradict the late emperor, he is used to being wanton."

If Qin Yaoguang heard this, she would probably sigh at the usefulness of her identity.

After taking Chun Ning out of Fengyang Palace, Qin Yaoguang ordered the maid who followed her: "Go to Xining Palace and tell the Empress Dowager everything that happened when we arrived at Chun Ning's mansion, without missing a word."

Since she had left Queen Xie, it would be inconvenient for her to stay in the harem.

But the Empress Dowager had to be given an explanation.

It is much better to let the maid report the truth than for the Empress Dowager to hear rumors from someone else and then send someone to investigate.

Guyu was left by her in Chunning Mansion. Well, it seems that I have to bring two more personal maids with me next time I leave the mansion.

Whenever something happens, there is not enough manpower.

Empress Xie was a delicate and sensitive person, and she was naturally overthinking. She was still counting on Empress Xie to do her job well, so there was no need to create unnecessary trouble.

Sitting in the carriage leaving the palace, Qin Yaoguang's stomach growled.

Chun Ning immediately felt embarrassed and said, "Royal sister, it's all because of me that I let you go hungry."

Qin Yaoguang waved her hand and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? I'm in a very good mood right now."

Anyone would be delighted at the thought of a large sum of gold arriving in their account.

Nanny Deng hurriedly took out some cakes from the secret compartment on the tea table, poured some tea, and served the two masters to fill their stomachs.

This is the red bean and honey cake that was freshly made on the stove today. As soon as I opened the lid, the fragrance filled my nose.

Qin Yaoguang picked up a piece and ate it contentedly. She said to Chun Ning, "If you feel bad about it, why don't you think about what to use to entertain me when I get to your house."

Chun Ning agreed without hesitation, and Qin Yaoguang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

Is she looking forward to the meal at Princess Chunning's mansion?

No, no, she couldn't wait to go back and see how those people would react after hearing the ransom!
