Such a rude tone aroused a reaction in the inner hall, from Prince Chengde down, everyone's complexion changed.

—Originally, this marriage has already contained great grievances from the royal family of Liguo. If it was not forced by the situation, the Seventh Prince would not have married into the Jin family at all. Hearing such words now, everyone's face should not change.

Yan Bai's face also paled for a while, but he knew that his newlywed wife had such a temper, and seemed to have no intention of reprimanding her, so he just glanced at her coldly and let her go.

However, Jin Bihui didn't care about it, and glanced at the jeweler with a happy face, with a sneer of disdain on his lips: "Don't be complacent—who am I, Jin Bihui? Can I let you take such a huge bargain?" She rolled up her sleeves, revealing With a honey-colored forearm, he patted the box next to him: "Everyone knows the goods, and the wise don't say dark words-this tortoiseshell box alone is worth 200,000 gold baht, not to mention the things inside. Isn't it? "

As soon as the words came out, everyone present took a deep breath—Prince Chengde was born in a noble family, and before the turmoil began, he had seen many treasures in Liguo University, but he had never seen someone so valuable.

However, what was shocking was that the jewelers didn't refute, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

"Imperial Concubine, in fact, no one in the world can afford to buy these treasures except for powerful princes..." The jewelers discussed among themselves, and finally the elderly man said with embarrassment.

Without waiting for him to continue, Jin Bihui gave a "chuck" smile, and glanced at the famous big businessmen in the hall: "Why, you know we are waiting for the money to be used, and want to lower the price?" She paused, but her eyes turned cold Come down, and said lightly: "I don't even think about it, you traffic jewelry from Persian Dashi every year, whose route are you taking? - If you are capable, you will go to the desert next year!"

The woman's sharp eyes were like knives, and the three businessmen who stabbed them shrewdly fought coldly. After seeing Qizhen, the fire of desire was extinguished, and they looked at each other: Yes, their business has been going to and from the sea all year round. How can they offend them? Neptune

"Okay, I, Jin Bihui, am also a straightforward person—one kill, and the price is one bite!" Seeing the other party's arrogance subside, the newly married princess slapped the box, startling everyone, "I'll take the four pressed beads. Back—you know in your hearts, this is not something you can afford, and you are not afraid of losing your fortune! The rest of the things, including this tortoise shell box, you take two million gold baht!"

The three jewelers got together again, whispered for a while, and finally recommended the older man to come out, made a bow, and sighed: "The price of the princess, I know in my heart that it is very fair-but the three of us The money brought this time is only more than one million gold baht, but why..."

Jin Bihui was startled, and frowned: "At least you are a famous jeweler, why are you so stingy? That's all, it's good—the insufficient money, after returning home, bought food and grass for us and sent it along the river, how about it?"

Seeing that he was willing to be flexible, the jeweler was overjoyed, knowing that the profit from this business would be at least 500,000 gold baht, so he hurriedly agreed.

Jin Bihui was also straightforward, put away the four beads in the box, locked the box, handed the key to Mrs. Xu who was next to him, and ordered: "That's the deal—take the three of them to the warehouse to pay the money!"

Xu Taifu has read poetry and books, and grew up in the temple. Has he ever seen such a fierce woman? The new concubine who just arrived just now is so condescending, she has already negotiated a deal at a price that is four times higher than what he asked for in an instant.

After Mrs. Xu took the jeweler out of the inner room, not to mention that the faces of the people around him all changed, even Prince Chengde's eyes when looking at this sister-in-law changed slightly.

However, Jin Bihui didn't notice it, seeing that the matter was successfully completed, he walked up to her husband regardless of the outsiders around, pulled up Prince Xueya's sleeve with a smile, raised her head and asked: "How is it, isn't the wife you married capable? 500,000 to buy grain and grass, and another 1,000,000 to the national treasury—the extra 500,000 gold baht we can build a mansion to live in, shall we?"

She happily planned for the future, but Yan Bai just looked down at his wife and said indifferently: "It's up to you."

Jin Bihui glared at her husband, and said angrily, "You—why are you always acting so angry?"

Prince Xueya didn't argue with his wife too much, he just said: "Anyway, it's your dowry. I have no right to deal with it - why did you ask anyone here for their opinion just now." Then, without saying anything, she was left alone. There, he sat down beside Shen Tiexin on his own, drinking tea.

She followed, but Shen Tiexin, the Deputy General of the Zuo Army who was seated with her, obviously didn't like her, and didn't even look at her, but just leaned over and started discussing military affairs with Yan Bai in a low voice.

Jin Bihui was temporarily ignored, not knowing what to say or do. She was flamboyant and unrestrained by nature since she was a child. She had never been so angry before, and she felt a burst of anger coming up in her heart.

Seeing this situation, Prince Chengde didn't talk to the deputy general of the right army, Shao Yun, who was seated at the same seat. His eyes flickered, and he stood up and walked over. on the cup.

With a sound of "clang", the tea splashed everywhere, Yan Bai and Shen Tiexin reacted very quickly, and immediately jumped away, the face of the Seventh Prince was already very ugly. However, before he reprimanded him, Jin Bihui stared at him first, and said, "You are right, that is my dowry—but I posted it on you! I also kindly found a buyer for you and bargained—you said , what did I do wrong? Why do you show me the face? "

"You're not doing well right now." As if he couldn't bear it any longer, Prince Xueya showed sarcasm and disappointment for the first time in his usual flat tone, "Besides, it seems to be Madam yourself who keeps changing his face."

Jin Bihui was taken aback, he didn't expect her husband, who was always indifferent, to have such sharp words. For the first time, she took a closer look at him. Her husband, the nobleman sitting on the seat, had a high crown and wide sleeves, and long clothes like snow, with an elegant and calm demeanor. His eyes were also indifferent, revealing an unattainable nobility and indifference, as if looking down on himself from the clouds, with compassion and helplessness.

Suddenly understood something, as if she had been hit hard in her heart, she was speechless.

This person... How dare this person, dare to look down on her! He, her husband, actually looked down on her!

Jin Bihui closed her eyes for a moment, bit the corner of her mouth hard, and clenched her fingers tightly. It took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to do something. Suddenly, her healthy honey-colored skin faded away.

"Sister and sister, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Prince Chengde saw that the atmosphere was not right at this time, so he hurried over to try to smooth things over, but Jin Bihui didn't even look at him, but just stared at Prince Xueya who had changed seats and bowed his head to drink tea, and sneered: " Yan Bai, why are you so arrogant? If you are really arrogant, why sell yourself to our Jin family! It is only worth two million gold baht—that little money is not enough for our Yutang Jin family's annual entertainment!"

She gritted her teeth and spit out these words word by word, feeling the pleasure of revenge in her heart.

She is just a pirate's daughter, and she pays attention to blood for blood with an eye for an eye, and the favor of a drop of water will be repaid, but she will return even greater contempt for contempt! What is she afraid of

People around, including Prince Chengde, were stunned for a moment—she saw each syllable of these words was like a sharp knife, piercing into the heart of the noble young man in white in front of her, looking at Prince Xueya's His face turned pale.

She was smiling, waiting for him to stand up against the table, waiting for his good skill that once moved her. She held the water-splitting dagger no more than three inches long in her sleeve.

However, Jin Bihui saw his hands tightening slowly, and the water in the teacup boiled slightly for no reason. However, her husband didn't say anything, didn't show any expression, as if he didn't hear her insulting words, he just lowered his head, drank a cup of tea slowly, then put down the cup, let out a little breath: "Okay Tea."

She froze.

He can bear it! This person who is so proud and self-confident can endure such public humiliation.

What is he for? What is it for again!

"Is it still delicious? That's Yunqi tea—" Suddenly, a leisurely and quiet voice came from the stagnant air, like a spring breeze blowing across the frozen land, "Go to the Yunqi Temple in the north of the city to offer incense in the spring. Picked from the garden behind the temple, and soaked in the snow accumulated on the plum blossoms—Thanks to the praise of the seventh brother, the concubine is really honored."

Following the sound, a woman with light makeup and plain clothes walked in, holding a tray in her hand, filled with a pot of new tea and snacks, and stepped into the inner hall, although she didn't wear any jewelry, but this woman was radiant , Every move, every word and deed is like a concubine of Luoshen.

"Don't dare to trouble the Crown Princess." Everyone in the hall quickly stood up, responding respectfully, even Prince Xueya got up.

Princess Chengde is the daughter of Sun Hong, the eldest minister of Li Kingdom, who was conferred by the first emperor to his eldest son as a wife.

The princess smiled slightly, came to the seat and put down the tray, turned her head and took the hand of Jin Bihui who was standing aside, looked at her, and smiled lightly: "This is the brother and sister who just came from Xi Kingdom? Lovely."

She took Jin Bihui's hand, looked back at Prince Xueya who was standing aside, and scolded: "Seventh brother, it's your fault! What a good girl, you want to make people angry. Come here soon! Sorry!"

Jin Bihui looked at her, saw her gentle smile and clear eyes, suddenly the anger in his heart dissipated, and he also smiled and replied: "Who cares that he apologized? My sister is beautiful, like a fairy! No wonder you can Be a princess."

The crown prince's bright eyes dimmed slightly, she didn't say anything, she just took her hand and said with a smile: "Sister has prepared some greeting gifts for you, and there is nothing good in a hurry—brother and sister, come and see, okay?"

Jin Bihui's unrestrained and flamboyant character, in front of the eldest grandson princess, was like fire meeting soft water, with no spark left, she actually lowered her head shyly, embarrassed: "Oh, I, I don't have anything. Bring it here—really... really a wild girl who doesn't know how to behave."
