Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Compared to empty promises, I like practical things that can be seen and touched. How much is your life worth? It’s not too much to buy it with silver, right?”
The Old Marquis slapped the table and glared at Su Xiaoxiao in expectation of better from someone. “Girl! How can you talk to the great general like that? Can you ask someone for money? Does the great general have no gold? Who are you looking down on?!”
“Calm down, calm down. You’re already so old, yet you keep talking about gold.
Have you lost sight of money? You’ve taught your children bad things!”
The Northern Yan diplomatic mission wiped their sweat. Fortunately, there was a reasonable person.
“Is General Helian’s life something those worldly possessions can measure? He can fight an army alone. He’s the National Godly General of Northern Yan. He has to exchange a few cities for it!”
Damn!
The diplomatic mission of Northern Yan vomited blood.
Damn it!
Each one was darker than the other!
Their family is full of bandits and bullies!
The Old Marquis nodded and sat back on the futon. “I was too narrow-minded.”
It was impossible for him to lose his life, but a loss was a loss. If he didn’t pay the price, it would make Northern Yan look like a sore loser.
Wei Ting suggested at the right time, “Then why don’t the Northern Yan pay up the remaining half of their tribute?”
That was not a small sum of money. It was almost tax for most of the cities.
But what could Northern Yan say? They could only bite the bullet and give it to him.
They wanted to write an IOU again, but Su Xiaoxiao did not fall for it. She plundered the Northern Yan diplomatic mission and Helian Ye even gave up his family heirloom.
If not for the fact that his clothes were not worth much, he seriously suspected that the little fat girl in front of him would have taken off his underwear. Su Xiaoxiao looked at the table that was filled with people. “This isn’t enough.”
Helian Ye, who had been robbed until he went bankrupt, said coldly, “What else do you want?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “Give me a token that allows me to enter and leave Northern Yan freely. Don’t say that you don’t want to give it to me. If your life isn’t as valuable as a lousy token, that’s really cheap!”
Helian Ye gritted his teeth and pulled out his General’s Estate token and threw it to her!
Su Xiaoxiao was satisfied.
She turned to look at Emperor Jing Xuan above the hall. “Since it’s a tribute, I’ll offer it to His Majesty!”
The Old Marquis said fiercely, “Fool! What do you think His Majesty is? His
Majesty is a wise ruler. How can he be greedy for what a little girl won?”
The pained Emperor Jing Xuan could only say, “…You, just keep it.”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
After crossing the bright road, it was finally all hers!
Outside the hall, Xiao Zhonghua and Jing Yi stood under the light.
The two of them were delayed by official business and came a little late. They happened to catch Su Xiaoxiao playing the zither with the Princess of Northern Yan. Su Xiaoxiao’s song was simply heavenly music. Jing Yi asked, “Cousin, do you regret it?”
Xiao Zhonghua said in a low voice, “Is it useful to regret?”
JingYi shook his head decisively. “It’s useless.”
Xiao Zhonghua glanced at him. “Then why are you still asking?”
Jing Yi said fearlessly, “Oh, to agitate you.”
Xiao Zhonghua was speechless.
With this immortal music, the later songs seemed to have less flavor. The more everyone reminisced, the more they felt that they had not had enough. They did not know if they would have the chance to witness that vocal banquet again in their lives.
At the end of the banquet, the young Princess of Western Jin handed Wuhu that was almost bald to Su Xiaoxiao. “I’ll return the Wuhu to you. Can you bring Wuhu to play with me tomorrow?”
Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Princess, I’ll lend Wuhu to you for a few days. You don’t have to be so anxious to return it to me.”
The little Princess of Western Jin said with sparkling eyes, “Really? Can I bring the Wuhu back to the posthouse?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
If she did not bring Wuhu back, how could Wuhu be a little spy?
The young Princess of the Western Jin carried Wuhu and went happily.
Su Xiaoxiao finally came to Princess Hui An. Princess Hui An turned her face away. “Hmph, you still know to come back?”
Su Xiaoxiao took out a ruby. “For the princess.”
This was what she had plundered from the Northern Yan diplomatic mission just now. Such bright jewelry complemented the bright and moving Princess Hui An.
Princess Hui An snorted. “Am I the only one who has it, or does everyone else?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Only Princess Hui An has the gem.”
Only then did Princess Hui An take the ruby and carefully put it away. Su Xiaoxiao gave Princess Jingning a high-grade Hetian jade, which suited her temperament.
Princess Jingning said, “You played very well. I benefited a lot from today’s song. ”
The two of them chatted for a while before the Princess of the Western Jin came over.
She was here to ask Su Xiaoxiao for the score.
The Princess of Western Jin said, “Moxie likes your tune very much, but he’s too embarrassed to come over and ask for it.”
Su Xiaoxiao underestimated a certain guard not far away with a cold expression. Was this the erhu musician who had played with her just now?
Why did he look like a killer?
Or… could one not be a killer these days without talent?
Su Xiaoxiao said, “If you’re not in a hurry, I’ll write it tonight and send it to the posthouse tomorrow.”
The Princess of the Western Jin turned to look at Moxie.
Moxie stood straight and had a serious expression. “Yes.” The Princess of the Western Jin smiled.
This was the first time Su Xiaoxiao had seen her smile.
The ice beauty was very beautiful. With a faint smile, even the glacier seemed to have melted.
The Northern Yan diplomatic mission suffered a huge loss and left dejectedly.
Su Xiaoxiao was surrounded by the daughters of Palace Academy again. Actually, they were not the only ones. Many officials and their Madams also wanted to come over and interact.
Wasn’t there no chance?
After bidding farewell to the daughters, Su Xiaoxiao stopped Su Xuan, who was about to leave silently. “Fourth Cousin!”
Su Xuan paused and turned to look at her with a gentle expression. “Cousin.”
In Su Xiaoxiao’s memory, Su Xuan was a quiet and beautiful man, even a little weak. However, the majestic power that erupted from his flute tonight was shocking.
Su Xiaoxiao came to him and realized that he was so tall. At least, he was taller than Su Li.
She asked, “Fourth Cousin, your family doesn’t seem to know that you play the flute so well?”
Su Xuan smiled and said, “No one knows that you can play the zither.”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “It’s because I have a secret. Does Fourth Cousin have one
Su Xuan smiled and said, “I don’t.”
Looking at Su Xuan’s departing back, Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin suspiciously. “Why didn’t you ask me what secret I had? You denied it so quickly.”
“Going?”
Wei Ting was waiting for her at the side.
“Coming! ”
Su Xiaoxiao walked towards her beautiful husband in a good mood.
At the entrance of the palace, they bumped into the Princess of Northern Yan, who was about to get into the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled at her. “Princess Beiyan, did you lose happily tonight?” The Princess of Beiyan said coldly, “Don’t be smug!”
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “You might be wrong. I’m not smug. I’m just.. you!”
The Princess of Northern Yan had never seen such an arrogant person!
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and smiled. “That’s true. I was still hoping to rely on the Princess of Northern Yan to become rich. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to become the richest person in the world. She’s accumulating the wealth of tens of thousands of people. I’m the only one.”
The Princess of Beiyan was so angry that she almost vomited blood. ‘You’ll regret it! You’ll come back and beg me! You definitely will! You all will!” On the other side, the young Princess of Western Jin returned to the posthouse.
The first thing she did was carry the Wuhu to the lotus pond.
“I knew you were here!”
She pattered over to the man and sat down.
“You didn’t go today. I met a new friend. She gave me a little parrot to play with. ”
The man didn’t say anything. He just quietly played with the rusty iron bell in his hand.
The young Princess of Western Jin asked, “Are you looking at it again? Is it very important to you? Why can’t I touch it? Can you tell me?”
