Chapter 168 Drilling into the Dog Hole
Seeing this, Tangning quickly began to explain:
"This is a colorful lantern. Turn on the switch and you can enjoy the colorful colors in the dark. During the day, you need to take it out to the sun. If there is no sun, it will not emit light."
Tangning felt a little guilty about this. If there was a short circuit or something, she wouldn't cover the after-sales service.
"I want this lantern. One hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Tang Ning's grip loosened and the lamp nearly fell to the ground, frightening the wealthy businessmen so much that they almost jumped up.
"Be careful!"
Zhaozhou wiped the sweat from his face. "That's the princess, you can't yell at her!" Seeing that Tangning didn't care, he didn't say anything more and quickly asked her to continue.
Tang Ning was very happy.
As expected, there are always rich people everywhere! The little money she had earned before was nothing.
Look at these rich people, they are so arrogant!
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand silvers!"
Sure enough, none of the people Zhaozhou invited were cowardly. Each one was more powerful than the other. They spent so much money just to buy a disco lantern that could not be eaten or drunk.
Tang Ning felt that she was really used to living the life of the poor and simply couldn't understand.
Woohoo, what should I do if I suddenly feel so poor? Then I can exploit some of these rich businessmen and expand my own coffers.
She finally understood that she was suited to the feeling of getting rich suddenly. If she wanted a steady and long-term life, there would always be someone to disrupt the situation.
"Three hundred thousand taels!"
It was the wealthy businessman who bought the mirror again. Tang Ning suddenly wanted to get to know him. He looked like a very wealthy man.
Three hundred thousand taels was far beyond Tang Ning's budget. She had originally thought it would be a great achievement if she could buy 50,000 or 60,000 taels.
After all, no matter how beautiful something is, it is just a lantern.
It is not suitable for eating or drinking. It is dazzling when you buy it and is bad for your eyes if you look at it for a long time.
"Please stop arguing with me. Your Majesty is having his birthday next month, and I want to find a special treasure to give to him."
I originally wanted to give him a mirror, but now he has a better choice.
The rich businessman bowed, and the others had to give up their thoughts. After all, he was a royal merchant and was allowed to enter the palace to attend His Majesty's birthday.
A group of people complimented him one after another. Among the five classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants had the lowest status. If they wanted to be protected by others, they had to pay some price.
Tang Ning caught the key words and sent them to Gu Mujun?
Is Gu Mujun going to celebrate his birthday?
"Your Majesty, are you going to celebrate your birthday? Celebrating at such a young age? Aren't you worried about shortening your lifespan? Aren't birthdays only celebrated by the elderly?"
Seeing that Tang Ning was so bold as to actually talk about the gods in such a way, those people were frightened and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"How dare you make such irresponsible remarks about His Majesty's affairs!"
"Everyone, please be patient. I wonder if the young lady has anything good to give to His Majesty?"
When it comes to giving gifts to the emperor, it is best to ask someone. Although the lantern is nice, this girl is the future wife of Prince Ning.
Who is Prince Ning? He is your Majesty’s brother. How could he not know your Majesty’s preferences?
Zhaozhou's words made others feel puzzled. What does this girl know about presenting something to His Majesty?
"I have something here. If you give it to him, he will definitely like it."
Tang Ning thought for a moment, then pulled something out of his pocket, removed the original pendant from the lantern, and replaced it with a new one.
"What?"
Seeing that Tang Ning seemed to be very familiar with His Majesty, the imperial merchant became a little restless.
"this."
Tang Ning took out a small warm pendant and hung it under the lantern.
"Who is this?"
"Don't ask, he'll definitely like it."
The imperial merchant wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Zhaozhou, who gently shook his head at him.
"Well, in that case, if I can please Your Majesty, I will definitely give you another 100,000 taels of silver."
"A word is settled!"
Tang Ning nodded hurriedly. Who wouldn't want money that was delivered to their doorstep?
She packed the lantern and handed it to the rich businessman carefully after instructing him to dry it in the sun.
There is an artistic photo of Shishi on the box. She is so cute that everyone who sees her will like her.
"Who is the child in this painting? Which master painted this? How can it be so lifelike?"
The rich businessman felt that it was inappropriate. Although the words were well-written, he heard that His Majesty had no children. What if he gave him a portrait of a child and made His Majesty unhappy?
"This is the little princess. I guarantee that Gu Mujun will see her and hold her in his arms."
Seeing Tang Ning calling His Majesty by his name, the imperial merchant was startled. He suppressed his surprise and carefully took the box.
Tang Ning took the silver and went back, leaving Zhaozhou to explain everything to the emperor.
"Who is that girl?"
Seeing that the person had left, Huang Shang hurriedly asked Zhaozhou. Since the elders were asking questions, Zhaozhou did not dare to hide it and told them Tang Ning's identity.
The imperial merchant looked at the gift box in his hand and decided to give it a try. If he won, he would still be the imperial merchant next year.
Tang Ning was extremely happy when she got the money. Now she finally had enough money.
There's no need to worry about it. You still have to go to a big place. Nowadays, any piece of junk can be sold at a sky-high price.
"Where did you go to play?"
As soon as Tang Ning got home, she found Gu Mufeng looking at her unfriendly. She thought carefully and it seemed that she had not offended him. What was wrong?
"I went out to raise money. Let me tell you, today..."
"Why didn't you bring your secret guards with you when you went out? Do you know that all of us almost drove you crazy today?"
The sudden high pitch startled Tang Ning, and the banknotes slipped from his hand and scattered on the ground.
"I, I didn't know the secret guards didn't follow."
Tang Ning was still feeling aggrieved. The secret guards weren't following her today, so wouldn't she be in great danger today?
"Didn't you tell the secret guards not to follow?"
Tangning thought for a moment. Did she ever say that?
"Did I?"
Tang Ning's confidence was a little lacking. It seemed like she hadn't spoken to the secret guards today.
"An Qi, what's going on?"
As soon as Gu Mufeng finished speaking, a secret guard came in through the window and knelt on the ground:
"Your Highness, the princess said that if you see her sneaking through a dog hole, you are not allowed to follow her."
Tang Ning's face flushed instantly.
"You still crawling through dog holes?"
Gu Mufeng looked at her in disbelief. He really couldn't understand the thoughts of the person he was about to marry. Did she have no chance? Why did she bite the dog hole?
"Didn't you tell me that there are people everywhere watching me and told me to be careful? If I go through the dog hole, no one will know I went out.
Besides, this yard is so big, it would be so tiring to walk out. I can just go through the dog hole and get out directly."
Tangning's confidence grew stronger as she spoke:
"Yes, it's you. If it weren't for you, I would have been able to crawl through the dog hole, and the secret guard wouldn't have thought I didn't have to follow me out. It's all your fault."
Gu Mufeng actually reflected on it. Could it be that he was really to blame?
"Humph!"
