"Eight, eight, eight... eight hundred thousand taels!?" Ye Qiqi was completely shocked.
"Yes." Mo Hanqing nodded lightly and said, "Didn't I just say that because Feihe Villa protected my face back then, I only said five hundred thousand taels."
…
Ye Qiqi felt that ten thousand divine beasts were roaring and rushing past in his heart.
She lowered her head, stretched out her white and slender hands, plucked her fingers, and began to mutter again:
"One to five makes five, two to five to ten, three to five to fifteen..."
Mo Hanqing lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her muttering in a low voice. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"Ah?" Ye Qiqi raised his head, looked at Mo Hanqing's handsome face, and asked with a tearless expression: "Do you want me to repay you the eight hundred thousand taels?" Right? Let me declare in advance that I don’t have that much money, and I won’t sell myself. With just my monthly salary of five taels a month, I won’t be able to pay you back in the next life.”
The corners of Mo Hanqing's lips were slightly raised, and he looked obviously in a good mood. He pondered for a moment, and then whispered to Ye Qiqi: "It's okay if you don't want to repay the 800,000 taels, you have to do me a favor. .”
"What's busy?"
"The emperor wants to choose a concubine for me." Mo Hanqing looked at her and said expressionlessly: "You should also participate."
"What!?" Ye Qiqi was startled and subconsciously jumped back: "Why should I go?"
"Because I hate women." Mo Hanqing narrowed his eyes, looked at Ye Qiqi, and said calmly.
"Then I am a woman too!" Ye Qiqi was slightly startled, looking at him with her hands on her hips and said unconvinced.
"Oh..." Mo Hanqing glanced at her chest and responded casually.
Ye Qiqi followed his gaze, looked down, then crossed her arms and said angrily: "What are you looking at!"
"There's really nothing to see." Mo Hanqing spread his hands and looked at her deeply and said, "Either you go to participate in the concubine selection, or you repay me 800,000 taels of silver. It's your choice."
“…”
Ye Qiqi bit the corner of her mouth and looked at him with watery eyes.
Mo Hanqing didn't say anything, just stood there, looking at her.
After a long while, Ye Qiqi finally compromised and said: "Okay, I'll just go and participate, but in what capacity will I go? As a minor guard of Prince Jing'an's Mansion?"
"I will solve the identity problem." Mo Hanqing raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction and said in a cool voice: "You just need to participate in the concubine selection and defeat those official ladies."
"Defeat them?" Ye Qiqi was stunned and asked casually: "What are the requirements for choosing a concubine?"
"Oh... chess, calligraphy and painting." Mo Hanqing's voice paused, then looked down at Ye Qiqi and asked: "Which one... are you good at?"
Ye Qiqi blinked and looked at him, twitching her red lips and asking, "What do you think?"
"It seems like I'm not good at anything anymore." Mo Hanqing sighed and thought to himself, it seems that he needs the emperor's help to put the martial arts test at the top, otherwise, Ye Qiqi will be there before it starts. About to be eliminated.
"Hey, you can't say that to me, right?" Ye Qiqi pouted and looked at him unhappily.
Growing up in the villa, her grandfather always found people to teach her things like piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but... As the saying goes, the friends of masters are usually masters.
