"Well, go ahead." Mo Hanqing stood there expressionlessly and said to her.
"..." Ye Qiqi turned around, glanced at him, and said hesitantly: "Then what... Your Highness?"
"Um?"
"Can I have breakfast before I go??" Ye Qiqi stretched out her hand to touch her belly. She was so hungry that she almost fainted from hunger.
"..." Mo Hanqing looked at her speechlessly. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Qiqi waved her hands and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now. Mr. Ye, let's go, hurry up!!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Ye Chengan's sleeve and dragged him out without any explanation.
Ye Chengan originally wanted to resist, but Ye Qiqi's strength was too great. Although he was petite, dragging him was like dragging a chicken, leaving him no room to struggle.
"Hehehe... Han Qing, goodbye..." Ye Chengan waved to Mo Hanqing awkwardly and was dragged away depressedly.
Mo Xiuzhu and Murong Hongyu looked at each other, raised their fists towards Mo Hanqing and said, "Farewell."
After saying these two words, the two of them turned around and chased Ye Qiqi and Ye Chengan.

In the best restaurant in the capital.
Ye Chengan, Mo Xiuzhu, and Murong Hongyu sat next to Ye Qiqi, watching helplessly as she ate her breakfast with a bun in her left hand and a pastry in her right hand.
"Ahem... that..." Ye Chengan watched her eat for a while, then finally cleared his throat and asked Ye Qiqi: "Xiao Qi, what is your... relationship with our Han Qing?"
"Huh?" Ye Qiqi raised her head and asked inarticulately: "What does it have to do with it?"
"It's you two..." Ye Chengan hesitated and whispered: "Aren't you his personal guard? Why are you suddenly going to participate in the concubine selection??"
"Oh, this." Ye Qiqi tried his best to eat the food in his mouth, then looked at Ye Chengan pitifully and said: "When I was His Highness's bodyguard before, I owed him some money, um... Although I later paid him Cleared up, but yesterday I accidentally shattered the two stone lions at the entrance of his Prince Jing'an Mansion. Hey... He said those two stone lions were worth 800,000 taels. If I went to help him choose his concubine, he would You don’t want me to pay back the eight hundred thousand taels.”
"Eight hundred thousand taels!?" Ye Chengan almost jumped out of his chair after hearing this number.
"Well, what?" Ye Qiqi looked at his reaction and asked curiously: "Aren't those two stone lions worth 800,000 taels?"
"Ahem..." Ye Chengan quickly adjusted the expression on his face and said seriously to Ye Qiqi: "How could it be possible? Those two stone lions were sent by the Binzhou prefect when the emperor ascended the throne. They are made of white marble. A lot of craftsmen were used, so it's almost... worth the price."
"Hey... let me tell you, I don't have eight hundred thousand taels of silver to repay him." Ye Qiqi sighed and said helplessly: "I can only go and participate in the concubine selection for him."
"Oh, I see… "
Ye Chengan nodded and turned to look at his friends.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mo Hanqing actually offered her 800,000 taels for the stone lion that Binzhou paid tribute to!
If Ye Qiqi knew that the prefect of Binzhou paid tribute to hundreds of stone lions, and that each of their princes and even several important court ministers had such stone lions at the door, I wonder if she would go crazy...
