In today's world, servants and maids are equated with private property and can be disposed of at will. The situation was better in the Tang Empire, where intentional harm to servants was prohibited under Tang law, but the buying and selling of servants was not prohibited. In Chang'an, it is not uncommon to see beautiful concubines and maids to give to others. However, giving concubines and maids among the nobility was even a bit legendary and romantic.
The children of Xishan talked about Prince Longqing's intentions, and people did not find it strange. The students of the academy and the Tang people, like Hua Shanyue, were unimpressed by this child's arrogant attitude. But because of the different classes on both sides, they were silent.
In people's eyes, Sang Sang was only 13 or 14 years old standing beside Ning Que, thin as a bean sprout, and had dark skin. Prince Longqing wanted to take her back to sleep with him, not because of her looks, of course, but because of her drinking games.
The big guy of Xishan likes the ordinary maids in Chang'an, because she is good at playing the lyre, chess, calligraphy, painting, drinking, etc., which is the literary pursuit of the upper class. If Ning Que was willing to give the maid to Prince Longqing, the prince would give him a valuable gift. Maybe it will be an anecdote for the future.
Therefore, no one was surprised, surprised, or even annoyed. However, Zhong Dajun and the others cast envious glances at Ning Que, thinking that if he gave Prince Longqing a maid, there would be many benefits.
Princess Li Yu was also silent at this time, but her silence had nothing to do with her demeanor. She's thinking about what happened last year. She looked at Ning Que with a smirk, because she knew that this thing would turn in an interesting direction.
...
...
In fact, hearing the child's gentle but extremely arrogant declaration, Ning Que had been in a daze for a long time, and then he understood what they wanted. The reason why he was slow to react was because he never expected that someone would ask Sangsang to have such a hateful attitude.
Why? I'm sorry. There is no reason. Just because he is Prince Longqing, the boss of the Justice Department of Xishan Shrine. He likes your maid and wants a maid to drink with him when he's bored. So you should send her away, her whom you raised and slept with for more than ten years, and then you count on him to give you some silver, or give you a bright future when the prince is happy?
In fact, it makes no sense. Ning Que was in a good mood, but a bright smile appeared on his face. He looked at the table in the distance and said, "Prince Longqing, you are so beautiful.
His reaction is very slow, but Sangsang, who usually reacts extremely slowly, reacts slower than him because he has drunk too much alcohol. Only then did she realize that the prince sitting at the table wanted to snatch her from the young master, so she couldn't help but refute him. "Young master, he's ugly now."
In the eyes of the people, this matter has nothing to do with Sangsang himself. As long as her master is willing to send her away, then she should obey. They only cared about Ning Que's answer and waited quietly for his answer.
Most people guessed that Ning Que would agree, but a few people thought he should agree. No one expected that Ning Que's answer had nothing to do with this matter, and it seemed unreasonable. "Prince Longqing, you are so beautiful... What the hell is that?
When Prince Long Qing came to his senses, he quietly looked at those empty small wine jars. When he suddenly heard this, he frowned, raised his beautiful face, and said lightly, "Thank you." "I know."

"Now that you know you're beautiful..."
Ning Que looked over there and said seriously: "Then don't think too beautifully."
...
...
After he said this, everyone present was taken aback.
Even if some people thought that Ning Que would refuse to give away his maid, or that he would refuse in some polite way—such as that he was good with this maid, that she was born as a maidservant, or that she couldn't go to delicate places, they never thought that he would refuse so rudely and harshly.
You think so beautifully, how dare you ask for my maid!
Prince Longqing's face gradually sank, and then he suddenly turned around and laughed.
Ning Que smiled: "The reason is very simple, because I don't agree.
Prince Long Qing slowly stretched out his hands from his sleeves and quietly placed them on the table. He looked at Ning Que who was sitting in the dark corner and said slowly, "If that's the case, you may have missed a lot.
"I've never worried about missing something," Ning Que replied.
Prince Long Qing's gaze fell on his face from a distance, and after being silent for a while, he said, "Even my love?
Ning Que raised his eyebrows and replied, "Maybe your friendship is not as precious as you think.
Hearing this, Prince Longqing's picturesque eyebrows seemed to be coated with a layer of frost, and he said unhappily: "It seems that you value your maid very much."
Ning Que replied with a smile: "Is this your business?"
Prince Long Qing said indifferently: "The maid master is so interesting, and it has aroused my interest even more.
Ning Que shook his head and said, "Drink your interest with wine, if only you could drink more."
...
...
When the two were talking to each other, the victory minister was so quiet that even the birds perched outside the swallow feather balcony were too nervous to sing. The others began to show various expressions and gradually became strange. They didn't expect that an ordinary academy disciple like Ning Que would actually talk to the bigwig of the Justice Department of the Xishan Divine Palace and successfully gain the upper hand. Moreover, his expression is extremely ironic and tough.
Prince Long Qing's expression was still calm, but everyone could see his angry emotions and domineering words. He asked coldly, "But I'm still curious, who is qualified to be her master?"
Under the strong coercion, Ning Que didn't seem to feel anything, and replied with a slight frown: "Actually, it has nothing to do with you." But now that you're so interested, all I can say ... You're not at least eligible.
"If I don't have it, who does?"
Prince Long Qing laughed, but no one could feel any joy from his laughter, only strong self-confidence and arrogance. The smile disappeared, and he turned his gaze to the taciturn Princess Li Yu and asked, "Does the princess have it?"
Ning Que laughed, with obvious dimples on the left side of his face, and said, "No, she doesn't either."
After he said this, everyone was stunned again. However, before everyone could get emotional, Li Yu explained with a smile on his face. She said to Prince Longqing: "I have begged him many times for Sangsang, but he just ignores me. As for you, I don't think you have any more opportunities than I do.
The Xishan people and the Yan people, like Prince Longqing, had the upper hand on the scene for a long time, and Li Yu looked at them silently with a smile the whole time. Now she used some words to shut them up, because she was the favorite princess of the Tang Dynasty. "Even if you are a peerless genius, a boss in the judicial department, and the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, can you compare with me? I'm not angry with Ning Que, how can you be particular about him?
This is a simple but powerful logic, typical of the Tang people's reasoning and style.
The princess recognized him with a few words, so it seemed that the crisis was going to stop. Sang Sang tugged at Ning Que's sleeve, raised his face and said, "Young Master, let's go home, shall we?"
Ning Que smiled and nodded. Everyone including Li Yu thought that he would leave like this, but they rubbed Sang Sang's head and said to Prince Longqing seriously:
"Prince, I would like to ask you a few questions."
Hearing this, the people at the scene thought of what Xie Chengyun had said before. Suddenly, they fell silent, and the students of the academy looked at Ning Que in surprise. They thought that Mr. Xie had completely failed in the debate, and how could he surprise the person who had avoided the exam because of his illness?
Prince Long Qing's face stiffened. He straightened his clothes, sat up, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Please."
"Don't get me wrong. I have no interest in debating. In fact, I'm not good at it. I'm just confused by your previous confidence, so I wanted to ask you some questions.
Ning Que took a step forward and asked, "Prince, does the sky have eyes?"
How can the sky have eyes? Even the stars are not eyes. Although Ning Que said that it was not a debate, Prince Longqing was still quite serious. He thought about it for a moment, and then he understood. Haotian looked down on people higher than the sky, and then...
"Of course the firmament has eyes."
