Qian Jiujiu was worried, but Mu Yexiao just looked at Qian Jiujiu and finally nodded: "Okay, how much do you want."
Qian Jiujiu didn't know the currency here, so she looked at Hongling and said, "Hongling, how much is your monthly salary?"
Hongling was stunned for a moment. Although she was confused, she still spoke happily.
"Reporting to the princess, my monthly salary is five taels, because I am now your maid."
Qian Jiujiu said "oh", then blinked and started to convert the currency situation here in his mind.
A princess's maid only earns five taels a month, so it seems that the things should not be expensive. She smiled at Mu Yexiao.
"I want five hundred taels."
Mu Yexiao was drinking tea and almost choked. He originally thought that Qian Jiujiu would only ask for fifty taels. After all, Hongling didn't even have a hundred taels a year.
If you calculate it from this perspective, it would be impossible for him to ask for too much, at least five hundred taels.
Although five hundred taels was just a drop in the bucket for him, it was definitely a huge sum of money for a little girl from the inner house, or even a thousand and ninety taels, who grew up in a farmhouse.
"Mu Yexiao, you don't have any either, do you? How can the great King Xiao be so poor?"
Mu Yexiao didn't say anything, which scared Qian Jiujiu. Looking at Mu Yexiao, she couldn't help but say these words.
But Mu Yexiao rolled his eyes and said, "Dongchen, give it to the princess."
Dongchen was stunned. He was puzzled by the fact that he gave it so readily. "Yes, Your Majesty."
After getting permission, Qian Jiujiu stood up, walked in front of Dongchen, stretched out her hand, and looked at Dongchen.
"give it to me."
Dongchen took out some silver from his pocket, Qian Jiujiu turned around and pulled Hongling: "Let's go shopping."
Looking at Qian Jiujiu's back, Dongchen looked at the prince with a puzzled look: "Prince, you are too tolerant of her."
Mu Yexiao just glanced at Dongchen calmly and said, "Send someone to protect her."
Dongchen was so angry that he even sent someone to protect her, but he still did as the prince ordered.
Qian Jiujiu knew nothing about this, and pulled Hongling back to the room: "Hongling, find me a set of your maid's clothes."
Hong Ling was a little puzzled: "Princess, what do you want the maid's clothes for? You have the prince's permission, you can walk out with open arms."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "You were stupid that night. There was an imperial decree from the palace. I could only serve the prince in the palace. How could I go out?"
"Of course you have to disguise yourself if you want to go out."
Although Hongling had some doubts, she quickly found a set of maid's clothes, Qian Jiujiu quickly changed into them, and then turned around.
"Not bad, Hongling, from now on, call me Xiaojiu. I'm the princess's maid Xiaojiu. I'm going out to buy things for the princess now."
Hongling found it a little funny when she saw Qian Jiujiu trying to hide her true colors. This princess seemed completely different from those young ladies from wealthy families.
The two of them left the palace smoothly. Qian Jiujiu looked at the busy streets and took a deep breath: "I smell the scent of freedom."
Hongling was startled and subconsciously thought that the princess was going to run away, but Qian Jiujiu quickly turned around and looked at Hongling.
"Lead the way, let's go to the pharmacy. I need to buy something."
Hong Ling quickly took Qian Jiujiu into the pharmacy. After Qian Jiujiu entered, she began to look him up and down: "Ask your shopkeeper to come out."
