Chapter Twenty-Three: Teachers and Students
originally thought that after this incident passed, Bai Lichen, who had not dealt with him, would pick on himself, but he didn't expect Bai Lichen to mention the incident of that day at all.
Even at the banquets that went out several times, he was a little close to her.
At the same time, there were rumors outside about the deep love between the three princes and the three princesses, and after the three princesses came, the three princes' bodies became better and better.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperors has come to look for you."
The Nine Emperors?
Mu Qing, who was still counting his treasury, changed his face a little strangely, this Nine Emperor Prince should have nothing to do with him, is it for the sake of the previous matter......
"The Nine Emperors are coming for me?"
Mu Qing pointed at himself.
"Yes, I have been waiting for you in the front hall with His Royal Highness."
Xin'er raised his mouth.
Mu Qing thought that if these three princes were there, then the Nine Princes would not have done anything to themselves, and it was estimated that because of what happened last time, he wanted to ask himself to count in the past.
In short, whatever he says, it is impossible to lose money.
After Mu Qing dressed up, she followed Xin'er to the front hall of the prince's mansion, and sure enough, the ninth prince Bai Lihong and the third prince Bai Lichen sat in the front hall together and waited for her.
"The concubine has seen two princes."
Mu Qing saluted.
originally thought that after she arrived, Bai Lihong in front of her would not let her go, but she didn't expect that the other party was now looking at her with a very incredible gaze.
There seemed to be a bit of longing in his eyes.
What kind of script is this? She couldn't have guessed at all.
"The ninth brother seems to be a little interested in your makeup technique of pretending to be a ghost that day, and wants to explore the doorway."
Bai Lichen coughed slightly, looking a little uncomfortable when he said this.
Although this Mu Qing is not like a young lady, but in the end, it is a daughter's family, she is now her own wife, and it will be a little difficult for her to be involved with the Nine Emperor Princes.
But the ninth brother is the closest person to him, and he pesters Bailichen to see it, and Bailichen will not disagree.
“…… Want to see my makeup. ”
Mu Qing pointed to his face, as if surprised.
"yes, yes, that day...... That ghost, it's really too realistic, I thought it was really a ghost, in broad daylight, but I was really scared. ”
The Nine Emperor Princes helped their hearts, and they still seemed to feel a little palpitating.
"So, I want to learn this technique from you, so that I can use this to please my mother in the future."
The Nine Emperors are a filial person, and naturally they think of their mother Chen Guifei in everything.
Mu Qing thought about it, in fact, it was not impossible to ask her to teach the Nine Emperor Princes, but this was just a ......
Thinking of this, Mu Qing lowered his head.
"This was originally passed on to me by a master of Youfang, I spent a lot of money at the beginning, and then I learned this technique, and the master said to me, this technique is unique, and now if I want to teach you rashly, it will be a little ......."
Mu Qing's hint was obvious, and the Nine Emperor Princes were not stupid, so they immediately understood.
Bai Lichen could only laugh in his heart, this Mu Qing, he really likes these yellow and white things, when he married before, why didn't there be such rumors in the capital.
"Don't worry, as the Nine Emperor Princes, there is naturally no shortage of money, since you have become my master, isn't it natural for this apprentice to pay tuition to the master."
The mother is a noble concubine in the court, and the mother's family is also a small success in business, and the Nine Emperors have always been the most money-hungry among the princes.
"A thousand taels of silver, how?"
Sky-high price!
Mu Qing's eyes straightened for a moment, but she also knew that she couldn't lose her temper like this, coughed dryly, and tried to maintain her demeanor.
"Since the Nine Emperors are sincere in learning art and use it to honor the noble concubine, I naturally can't teach it to each other."
Seeing that his concubine and the Nine Emperor Princes were talking happily, although Bai Lichen did not show it on his face, he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"The ninth brother has come to my house frequently these days, if his father knows about it, there will inevitably be rumors."
mentioned it vaguely, and Bai Lihong over there understood it and nodded.
It's true that I've come here a little often these days, and if my father thinks that the concubine intends to win over the third brother, I'm afraid that my father will be suspicious of his mother.
"What the third brother reminded me is that I forgot a little, so I'll leave, the third princess, I will send the tuition to the house in the future, and please don't have to be polite to the third princess."
After saying that, after bowing his hand, he left Bailichen's study and came and went in a hurry.
After Bai Lihong left, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange, the relationship between Bai Lichen and Mu Qing was not very familiar, the two of them had never even seen each other before they got married, and the two of them did not look like ordinary couples after they got married.
As a result, at this moment, they don't know what to say.
"The ninth brother said that one is one out, you just need to deal with the past."
After a long time, Bai Lichen held back this sentence.
"Since the Nine Emperor Princes have said that if they want to give me tuition, it is naturally difficult for me to continue to refuse, and I have already agreed to the Nine Emperor Princes, and there is nothing to do in the house, so it is still okay to teach the Nine Emperor Princes."
Hearing this, Bai Lichen's eyes sank.
Danqing on the side saw it clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why is this princess so incomprehensible!
Xin'er saw her mother's answer, and she was also quite a headache.
The little maids of the two people glanced at each other, and they both read a little helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Since you've decided, then I won't say anything, just know for yourself."
After Bai Lichen said this, he flicked his sleeves, and he didn't even stay in the study, and walked out when he turned around, and now there are only two people in the entire study, Mu Qing and Xin'er.
"What's wrong with him?"
Mu Qing looked at Bai Lichen who left suspiciously, as if he didn't know what he had offended the third prince and was treated so coldly by him.
Xin'er opened her mouth, and in the face of her own young lady's question, she really couldn't say a word.
The mother of their family may really be the kind of person who can talk to death......
"But forget it, this is a lot of silver, Xin'er, you are in charge of the treasury in my yard, how much silver do I have now?"
Mu Qing likes money the most, and his biggest dream is to become the richest woman in Baili Country, so he naturally cares very much about how much money is left in his yard.
I thought about it carefully.
"Marry over, there are not many things, they are all big things, many of them are placed in your bedroom, the ready-made silver ticket is about two thousand taels of silver, if the Nine Emperors His Royal Highness sends the silver on the other day, it will be three thousand taels of silver, and there are many rare playthings."
Wood Liquidation calculated.
Playthings can't be sold, these things are either rewarded by the emperor or the queen, and they are all precious things anyway.
But this money is real.
As long as she saves up the silver for a while longer, in this case, it will not be difficult to break away from the prince's mansion.
"Niangniang, the slave is angry when she looks at His Royal Highness today, even if the relationship between the Nine Emperors and His Royal Highness is good, you should also pay attention to avoid suspicion, at least you should refuse, you shouldn't agree so quickly."
Thinking of the things in the daytime, I couldn't help but persuade a few words.
But apparently Mu Qing didn't pay attention to it.
She poured herself a cup of hot tea and took small sips of the pastries on the table, her heart full of her dream of being a rich woman.
"He said it to me himself, can I still refuse?"
Mu Qing spread his hands and put on a helpless look.
This is clearly what Bai Lichen asked for by herself, why did she offend people if she agreed.
What she didn't know was that her every move in the study and her heart had now all reached Bailichen's ears over there.
The man sat on the wooden chair above, his fingers tapping on the edge of the chair, and his mood seemed to be very bad, but he didn't say a word.
The secret guard who knelt down was a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know what was wrong with his master today.
"Did she really say that?"
Bai Lichen felt some inexplicable anger in his heart, so he repeated it again.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The subordinate replied again.
"The third imperial concubine Niangniang, first asked the maid how much silver she has now, and then said, this matter is clearly what you asked, why did she refuse?"
Good one, why refuse!
The secret guard, who noticed the smile of his master, was so frightened that his body trembled.
It's really not easy to serve a moody master.
"You are still staring at the third princess these days, don't make mistakes, if she has any abnormal behavior, come here and report to me immediately."
Bai Lichen's tone was a little excited when he said this, but he was afraid that the two surprised subordinates would talk nonsense, so he simply added a sentence with sexual desire.
"I also suspect that she is from the Queen's side."
The two subordinates looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
A few days ago, I assured them that this third imperial concubine would not be a spy on their own master, and now they actually used such a high-sounding reason to let them spy on other little girls.
"My subordinates know."
Although they kept complaining in their hearts, the two secret guards over there still nodded very respectfully.
After the two subordinates left, Bai Lichen lowered his head.
He felt something strange about him.
Maybe she was interested in this young lady named Mu Qing, after all, she was not at all similar to the rumors she had heard outside.
What is cowardly as a mouse, useless, these are clearly not seen in her body at all.
After getting along for the past few months, the relationship between the two is still not salty or light, but Bai Lichen's thoughts about Mu Qing seem to have changed from just thinking she was interesting from the beginning, and gradually changed its taste......
It wasn't what he wanted.
Bai Lichen rubbed his eyebrows and frowned rather irritably.
