"A draw, two first place."

Die'er frowned. "But you should be able to win against Princess He Yue."

"Damned girl, my strength is just there for show! Being able to tie is already a fortunate thing. "

Die'er pursed her lips. In her eyes, the young miss of her family was the strongest.

"Alright, I want to eat now." Wei Qing rubbed her already starved stomach.

Die'er quickly went to get Zhu Er to prepare dinner. Because she was happy, Wei Qing even drank two cups of wine.

As Xiao Qingqian watched on, his breathing became heavier and the light in his eyes became brighter.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wei Qing smiled at him.

"You look good."

These four words were direct enough to make the surrounding servants laugh.

Receiving Xiao Qingqian's sharp gaze, everyone looked at each other, then lowered their heads, trying their best to suppress their laughter.

After eating dinner, Wei Qing stretched her back, "I have eaten my fill, it's time to rest."

Xiao Qingqian followed, "Do you want to view the moon?"

Wei Qing blinked, "Okay."

They thought that maybe Xiao Qingqian would fly her up to the roof to admire the moon. After all, the two of them had done this kind of thing many times before. However, when Xiao Qingqian carried her by the waist and flew across the rooftop, all of Wei Qing's drunkenness was blown away by the wind.

"Where are you taking me to admire the moon?"

Xiao Qingqian smiled mysteriously, "We'll know when we get there."

The streets were bustling with noise and excitement, it was unknown if it was because the four nations had gathered at Capital City of the Northern Kingdom.

Seeing a group of people gathered from afar, Wei Qing became interested.

"Ah Qian, what are they doing over there?"

Xiao Qingqian turned his head, "You want to take a look?"

"Yes."

He brought Wei Qing along for a few jumps, and steadily landed.

Pushing the crowd aside, Wei Qing was startled, but immediately revealed a joyous expression: "It's actually a stone gambling!"

"Interested?"

The color of Xiao Qingqian's eyes grew deeper as he looked at her. He never thought that Wei Qing would still be so interested in gambling.

Wei Qing looked at the few stones that were covered by the red cloth and couldn't help but think which of them could give out a high-quality jade.

The booth owner was not from the Northern Kingdom, so he looked like someone from East Mausoleum.

Seeing that there were more and more people surrounding them, the booth owner first cupped his fists, then said: "This old one has the honor of coming to Capital City of the Northern Kingdom, and thanks for everyone's support. This time, there are three ranks of stones. The better the grade, the higher the price of the stones will be. Let's start with the first batch and start with 10 taels of silver. "

As soon as the booth owner finished speaking, the attendants removed the red cloth that was covering the stone.

The crowd below the stage were all discussing animatedly. The crowd only watched from the sidelines, and did not plan to make a move. After all, the stone gambling was extremely risky.

"Is there anyone I like?" Xiao Qingqian

Wei Qing's gaze swept across the stones and she shook her head.

Xiao Qingqian squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then pointed at the stone in the middle, "Ten silver, Number Three."

The booth owner was instantly overjoyed and quickly told his disciple to open a rock.

Everyone stretched their necks and stared in the direction of the opening. At this time, the disciple said with a pleasantly surprised expression, "Teacher, there is a jade the size of an egg inside the stone. It looks pretty good!"

The surrounding people started to boil, Wei Qing was no exception.

She frowned and asked, "Do you have a discerning eye, or is it just good luck?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Qingqian bent over and whispered into her ear, "If you have the ability to see through anything, wouldn't you be seen naked everyday?"

The blush on her face became thicker, and even her breath became hotter. She fiercely rolled her eyes at him and looked at the jade in her disciple's hand.

"Congratulations, this jade is worth more than 10 taels of silver!" The vendor smiled and handed the jade over to Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian turned it over and over again. If he wanted the egg-sized jade stone, he had a pile in the Prince Chu’s Mansion warehouse, but seeing that Wei Qing was interested, he decided to take out ten taels of silver to try his luck.

Wei Qing took it, "This thing can be used to make a massage tool!"

This was the first time that everyone had heard of this, and they stared blankly at Wei Qing. Wei Qing did not explain any further, she kept the egg back into her sleeves, and looked at the remaining stones on the stage with gleaming eyes.

Because just now, Xiao Qingqian was lucky enough to get out a piece of raw jade, the spectators below all took out their silver and joined in.

However, in the first batch of ores, no one else took out the egg-sized jade. Everyone could not help but feel resentful.

The second batch of ores was more than twice the size of the first batch.

Wei Qing rubbed her chin and said seriously to the vendor: "Shopkeeper, are the stones over there the third batch that's going to be brought up soon?"

The stall owner shook his head. "Madam, the stones over there are all abandoned ores that I don't want."

Wei Qing raised her brows, "Why are you abandoning me?"

"Madam might not know this, but as a person in my line of work, after a while, I will be able to tell which stones contain jades. There won't be any stones."

Wei Qing replied with an "Oh", "Then what do you think if I offer one or two stones to buy your stones?"

"Madam, this old man will not be the kind of person to deceive others. There's no way the rocks here can come out of the ore. "

Wei Qing laughed, "Actually, I fell for a strange-shaped stone, I want to buy it as a decoration."

The booth owner's eyes widened, "If Madame has fallen for any of these, you can take it for free."

Wei Qing could not help but feel that the stall owner was serious!

"Then I won't be polite."

The booth owner nodded.

Wei Qing shook off Xiao Qingqian's hand and walked in front of the pile of stones, and picked out that strangely-shaped stone.

Xiao Qingqian walked forward and grabbed it with one hand, "What do you want this rock for?"

"I've already said it, take it back and use it as a decoration."

Xiao Qingqian obviously did not believe it.

"Do you believe me or not?" Wei Qing rolled her eyes at him, and returned to Prince Chu’s Mansion with him.

The moment she returned, Wei Qing sat in front of the table. She spread out a cloth and carefully wiped it with her dagger.

"Didn't the stall owner just say it? These stones are simply unable to produce jade." Xiao Qingqian poured a cup of tea and gulped it down.

"You don't understand."

Perhaps there was no jade here, but it was not necessarily the only jade inside the stone.

Seeing that Wei Qing was so insistent, Xiao Qingqian was too lazy to intervene in this matter, "When will you be able to cut me right in the middle?"

"I'll have to cut this rock myself, don't worry about it."

Xiao Qingqian nodded, "Alright, I don't care."

Wei Qing carefully rubbed her dagger against the surface of the rock. Right at this moment, a huge hint of joy surfaced on her face.

Xiao Qingqian had been faintly discernible as he stared at her, but seeing the light in her eyes, he could not help but frown, "Could it be that the jade really opened?"
