However, the following words were even more excessive, "I'm the master, shouldn't I eat and sleep every day?"

"Why do you need me to do embroidery?"

But Lv You and the others knew that Master had never treated them as servants.

Lv You was helpless, and earnestly gave Xiao Ting a lesson in politics. Xiao Ting took the opportunity to skip class, and in the end, dragged Hong Shao and Xiao Xin to find another brat.

After the temptation failed to counter the threat, Chu Yun agreed to accompany Xiao Ting outside to buy presents for the Ninth Prince.

In the Hall of Wealth, a line of two small players wandered around the first floor, but could not find anything suitable.

Or maybe Xiao Ting felt that it was alright, since Chu Yun was not satisfied.

Otherwise, Xiao Ting would think that it was possible and find it expensive.

In short, two hours had passed, and even after the two masters had competed, there was still no clear victor.

In the end, the Hong Shao pulled Xiao Xin to the side and let him pick, ignoring the other two.

What was rare was that Xiao Ting and Chu Yun both liked it, but when she asked for the final price, Xiao Ting directly took Xiao Xin and left.

What a joke, what the hell was that? It cost fifty taels of silver.

Is it made of gold?

It was just a paper fan. As for what was drawn on it, she was not interested.

Therefore, after the shopkeeper introduced them for a long time, both Xiao Xin and Chu Yun were moved, but Xiao Ting did not buy it even if he died.

"I'll buy it."

Right at that moment, an elegant man walked over. He was about twenty years old, and his face had a smile that made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. His eyes were sincere and extremely amiable.

When the shopkeeper heard that someone was buying, he immediately smiled and went up to welcome them. He did not want to sell it to Xiao Ting and the rest anymore.

If he didn't know her identity, he wouldn't have pestered her for so long.

In the outside world, it was said that the Miss Xiao Liu was very generous. She never had a double price when buying things, could it be that after marrying into the Ninth Prince's Estate and becoming an imperial concubine, she became so petty?

Could it be that Ninth Prince was very poor?

"Sir, you want to buy this fan?"

The man casually threw out fifty taels of silver without even looking at the shopkeeper. The storekeeper beamed and immediately said, "Please wait a moment, I'll wrap it up for you."

Chu Yun was still berating Xiao Ting, "How poor are you, a woman, to be unwilling to even pay fifty liang?"

"50 taels can buy a lot of things, why buy that broken fan?"

The shopkeeper walked over with a smile while holding the broken fan. He ignored her words and thought to himself, "Sure enough, after marrying someone, you would become poor!"

What was he doing, keeping an eye on those precious items, that made him think it was a big client?

After spending so much time, he was actually unable to move a single inch. Fortunately, this guest had bought it. Thus, he did not give it up in vain.

"Young master, this is your item. Please keep it."

The manager was full of smiles as he passed it over.

Who would have thought that the man would not accept it? Instead, he said, "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult. Since the lady likes it, then I'll give it to her!"

With that, he turned and left.

Leaving behind the petrified manager.

Xiao Yun reacted quickly as he cupped his hands and said, "Young master, please wait."

A small head, yet still acted like a small adult. She greeted him earnestly, then raised her face and said in a serious manner, "May I ask if young master recognizes her?"

The man smiled and shook his head. "I don't."

"Then, we cannot accept anything without merit. Also, she is already married. Please call her 'Madam', thank you!"

The Wealth Hall had other customers present, so they naturally recognized Xiao Ting. Seeing that a man was fawning on her, they all started to watch a good show.

However, they were all highly appreciative of Chu Yun's performance.

"No worries, I will never take back what I give." The man looked past Chu Yun and revealed a smile.

Chu Yun turned around and saw that he was straightforwardly rejecting the shopkeeper, but in the end, Xiao Ting actually took the box from the shopkeeper's hands and began to admire it happily.

Hong Shao and Xiao Xin were advising her from the side that she could not accept presents from strangers.

Xiao Ting looked at them suspiciously, "He wanted to give it to me, not me."

"Elder sister, you won't be able to gain anything without success!"

The man looked at Xiao Ting smilingly, "It's good as long as you like it."

Chu Yun's face was already as dark as ink as she walked over. She snatched the fan from Xiao Ting's hands and threw it into the box, then glared at her.

He returned to the man and held the box high: "If she likes it, her husband will buy it for her. We won't need to worry about it. Take back your gift!"

The man shook his head, but just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Chu Yun.

"I still have something I haven't said. If you have nothing to offer me, then just take it. We don't know each other, so I'll take my leave."

Seeing that the man did not receive it, Chu Yun threw the box on the counter, then pulled Xiao Ting's hand and walked out.

Xiao Xin held her other hand, afraid that she would grab the box again.

After leaving the Rich Hall, Chu Yun flung her hand away and walked forward angrily.

Xiao Ting was dumbstruck, "Who angered her, and left so quickly?"

Hong Shao was speechless.

Thus, after failing to buy the gift, Xiao Ting was a little discouraged. She returned to the other gardens and muttered, "It's all your fault. And she wasted so much time for nothing. "

Hearing her continue to talk, Xiao Xin felt embarrassed.

"Big sister, we don't even know that person. How do you know if he has good intentions or not?"

Xiao Ting waved her hand nonchalantly, and said: "What's that? In any case, the gift was for the prince, so let the king check it out! If he's kind, then we'll just treat him as a friend. But if he's heartless and we accept his gift, it'll be a loss for him, not us, right? "

At this moment, Xiao Xin was no longer worried for his sister, but was instead worried for Ninth Prince.

Would it really be okay to marry his sister?

"Princess, once you're married, you can't accept gifts from other men." The Hong Shao was more reliable as she spoke directly towards the main point.

Xiao Xin agreed.

Xiao Ting bit her lips and asked: "Is that so? I can only accept gifts from princes. Can't I accept gifts from others? "

"It's not that you can't take other people, it's that you can't accept gifts from other men." Hong Shao explained in a serious tone.

Xiao Ting bit her lips. Was there any difference between a man's and a woman's gift?

Well, in the twenty-third century, when men and women were equal, even after marriage, they had their own freedom.

"But the Prince never gave me a present!"

The more Xiao Ting thought about it, the angrier she got, "Then why did I give him a present? Hmph, farewell."

Hong Shao pulled Xiao Xin out. She felt that she needed some peace and quiet.

As long as her family's master didn't mention anything about the present, it would be fine.

They were talking about gifts here, and so was the Ninth Prince.

"You said that Cheng Yunyi appeared in the Wealth Hall?" Ninth Prince was surprised, he never thought that Cheng Yunyi would actually dare to appear openly on the streets.

Yuchi Snow had come back after receiving a report from her subordinate.

"Moreover, he and Crown Prince have met before. It's said that he even sent a gift to her, but she rejected it."

"A gift?" Ninth Prince was surprised. This Miss Xiao Liu did not stop for a moment, two hours ago he was still pretending to be cute and shameless, after a while she ran out to buy presents.

Before Yuchi Snow could say anything, Ah Three and Ah Si reported to him. Upon receiving his response, they entered and told him everything that had just happened.

No personal feelings.

Ninth Prince listened silently for a long time.

"You said that the wangfei is going to pick out gifts for the prince?"

The two nodded.

"She wasn't even willing to give fifty liang, and in the end, when Cheng Yunyi gave it to her, she took it."

The two of them continued to nod their heads. Although it was very embarrassing for Ninth Prince's Estate, it was the truth.

"The wangfei said …" Ah San thought about what Xiao Ting had said when she came back.

"What else did your wangfei say?"

Ah San looked at the Ninth Prince, and said with the principle that nothing could be hidden from his master, "The Royal Concubine said that regardless of whether that person has good intentions or bad intentions, in any case, the gift is for Your Highness. "If he has good intentions, then just treat him as a friend. If he has ill intentions and we accept his gift, it would be a loss for him, not for us …"

As Ah San finished his sentence, he braced himself and finished it.

Obviously, they did not agree with Xiao Ting's theory.

Yuchi Jiange was already at a loss for words. When she had laughed enough, she walked over and patted her friend's shoulder. She gave him a look that said she wished him good luck before walking away.

"All of you can leave first!"

After Ah San and Ah Si left, Ninth Prince sat in his room alone and started thinking.

He did not think about why Cheng Yunyi came to find Xiao Ting, nor did he think if there was a problem with Xiao Ting's words.

Instead, he thought about a sentence that A'Si had inadvertently said just now.

He said, The Princess said you never gave her a present.

Ninth Prince was annoyed by these words.

Xiao Ting had always lived with the idea of not sitting if she could lie down, and never standing if she could sit. Now, she was lying on the soft couch after dinner.

He looked out the window at the starry sky.

Beauty was beautiful, but it lacked something.

"Your Highness."

Suddenly, Hong Shao's voice came from outside. Xiao Ting quivered and sat up. Ninth Prince, what is he doing?

Oh my god, Xiao Ting finally remembered why she had to give Ninth Prince a present.

Wasn't it because he had a request?

As a result, when Ninth Prince entered, he saw a vexed Xiao Ting.

"Cough cough …"

Hearing that cough, Xiao Ting immediately regained her senses, and after thinking for a long time, she finally decided that no matter what, she would ask Ninth Prince to agree to her request.

Just that, before Xiao Ting could even speak, Ninth Prince walked in front of her, placed a box on the table and said: "When you are disheartened and go to Jiangnan, buy this thing back. This king will fan you with it if it is useless!"

"If you don't like it, you can just throw it away. There's no need to tell This King."

With that, the Ninth Prince left.

Coming and going like the wind...

Before Xiao Ting could react, the other party was already gone.

Xiao Ting opened the box on the table slowly. Inside was a fan. Why does it look so familiar? "

At this time, the Hong Shao came in and saw the item in Xiao Ting's hands. She then asked, "Royal Concubine, did the Prince buy this specially for you?"
