49 instead
Let her be anxious, and at the same time look forward to him recovering the news, and in the end it was in vain.
If he had refused this sooner, at least he wouldn't have had to have hope for him, and he wouldn't have been so disappointed.
It's almost dark.
Song Zhiqiu was late, and someone finally came to deliver the news. A small attendant next to him sent a message that he had received the news.
However, he usually does not manage these trivial matters, if he is in a hurry, he can agree on a place, and then the two of them will have a good talk about it.
Ling Xiaoning's mood became a little complicated, and he still wanted to meet with him to see if there was room for maneuver in this matter.
After all, he is the eldest prince in the palace and has a certain amount of power, if he wants to let go of a palace maid with his strength, it is not a difficult thing, let alone a girl who has not officially become a palace maid.
It's just that he didn't directly state that he wanted to help solve this problem, but he would discuss it after meeting.
It seems that he doesn't really want to meddle in these trivial matters.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but feel disappointed when he thought about it, it seemed that he had overestimated the status in his heart.
Song Zhiqiu is a dignified prince, and she is just the proprietress of an ordinary small shop.
The two people have always had a huge disparity in identity, not people in the same world.
Ling Xiaoning was already planning to go to the capital, so he got into the carriage overnight and rushed to the capital.
It is not far from the small town back to the capital, and the place is reached before dawn. Ling Xiaoning didn't rest well in the carriage, and got out of the carriage and opened a first-class room in a nearby inn to rest.
As soon as she fell asleep, she came out of the room lazily after three dry days.
Breakfast is provided free of charge in the superior rooms.
Breakfast was very simple, a plate of xiao long bao, a plate of sour radish and a pot of tea.
Ling Xiaoning didn't have a good mood to taste the food for the time being, so he ate the things given by the inn, prepared to go out, and walked around.
Indeed, the streets of the capital are much more prosperous than those there.
Even though it's normal times, there are all kinds of supplies that small traders and vendors need for their daily lives.
The big tailor shops, jewelry shops, and other shops also often come and go with some clothes, gorgeous nobles.
It's not like a small place, this kind of person is very rare to see, it's like something rare.
Ling Xiaoning went to a restaurant and asked Xiao Er about the palace maid.
I learned that the new palace maids would not enter the palace directly, and would have to stay in the palace courtyard for a few days.
In the past few days, the newly entered palace maids will undergo emergency training and do very detailed physical examinations. If there is any hidden disease in the body of the palace maid during this time, she will be immediately picked out and will no longer enter the palace.
Ling Xiaoning suddenly had an idea in her mind, if she could meet the girl and let the girl find a way to pretend to be sick, maybe she would be able to easily escape the fate of being a palace maid this time.
It's a pity that I didn't think of this good solution the day before yesterday, and it's too late to come up with it now.
Ling Xiaoning returned to the inn a little disappointed, and unexpectedly got a message.
Song Zhiqiu asked people to pass on a word, and an hour later, they went to the private room upstairs of a nearby restaurant to meet.
I don't know how he knew that Ling Xiaoning had arrived in the capital, it seems that he is not an idle person, and he is very well-informed.
Ling Xiaoning saw that it was still early, returned to the room, and cleaned up.
She had been busy walking around the kitchen some time ago, and she hadn't cleaned up or dressed herself much.
I won't be busy in the kitchen for the next while, so I can clean up and dress up. With money, chic is naturally to wear clean and beautiful, and then go to the most luxurious place and throw money without scruples.
This is the kind of unbridled life that should be enjoyed.
Ling Xiaoning put on a luxurious dress, made a simple bun, and brought earrings, necklaces and bracelets on a business trip with a lot of decorations.
"Wouldn't that be too ostentatious? I'd better bring a little less...... I don't know how the security is here, what if someone sees me like this, and the building materials company snatches all my silver tickets? ”
She finally drew a lilac dress, which made the whole person look much more low-key and gentle.
"That shouldn't be a problem......"
Ling Xiaoning drank a cup of tea downstairs in the restaurant and ate something before going to the private room upstairs.
Song Zhiqiu's men had already arrived early, and he still had a little time to arrive.
Ling Xiao waited quietly for a while, watching him walk in in a golden dress.
Not seen for a few days. Song Zhiqiu seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, and walked from the direction of the door, exuding a kind of nobility that could not be concealed.
After Ling Xiaoning lost his mind slightly, he hurriedly lowered his head and covered his body with his sleeves.
"Your Royal Highness...... I don't know the rules very well, so please forgive me, and I'll say it directly. I know someone who doesn't want to be a palace maid, but my father and mother arranged it first. If there is a shortage of silver, I can give money, and I want you to come forward so that person can go home and not have to be a palace maid. ”
Song Zhiqiu sat across the table and frowned slightly.
"You hurried to the capital and met with me, just for this purpose?"
"That's right, I'm in a hurry about this matter, so please come forward as soon as possible! Otherwise, I'm afraid that girl will really enter the palace after delaying the time......"
"Huh...... If you want to solve this problem, you really need some nutrition, and they spend a lot of nutrition there, and 100 200 taels is about the same. You've made a lot of money in your shop, which isn't a lot of money for you...... But if you ask Your Highness to do such a small thing, how much silver are you going to make? ”
Ling Xiaoning raised his head, revealing a look of surprise.
She thought that the two of them had at least some friendship, but she didn't expect that it would cost him money to do something.
He is His Royal Highness, how much silver does it cost to invite him to do something?
"I ...... The nutrients on the body are not very much, can you give you 5,000 taels of silver? 10,000 taels up to 10,000! Don't think about the lion's mouth, although I am in a hurry, but in fact, that girl has nothing to do with me, but she just looks pitiful. ”
Ling Xiaoning said and deliberately turned his face to the side, pretending not to care.
If she actually has to, she is willing to save the girl with all the silver taels on her body, but those nutrients still have to be used to have a good life, if so, she will spend it, it is really not cost-effective.
She just has a problem, once she promises someone else, she must do it, otherwise she will always feel uncomfortable.
"It seems that His Royal Highness is worth 10,000 taels of silver in your heart, and the deal is sold!"
Ling Xiaoning showed a surprised look, thinking that he thought that the silver was too little, but he didn't expect him to agree.
