Chapter 416 - The Child And I Are Not Fated
Xie Qiao endured the pain and did not look at the gold on the ground. Her gaze was wandering outside and her smile was generous. She looked like an otherworldly expert.
Prince Ning Bei was very surprised. He did not expect this master to be so different. There was so much gold in front of her and she did not even look at it!
She was indeed an expert!
"I"ve been crude. How about this? I"m willing to donate the rest of the gold to your Taoist temple to build golden statues for the G.o.ds," Prince Ning Bei said.
Xie Qiao felt a sharp pain in her heart.
The Taoist temple was not here!
It was far away!
.
"If Your Highness has such intentions, you can donate some gold and silver in the name of the Water Moon Temple in Yunjin and do some good deeds. I will only take 5,000 taels of silver. I won"t force you to donate the rest," Xie Qiao insisted.
It was her silver.
Xie Qiao sighed softly.
Prince Ning Bei misunderstood Xie Qiao"s sigh and felt a little ashamed in an instant.
How could this true master who helped the world care about the golden statues?
Look at this master, she was actually thinking about the people of the world! She was truly a kind person!
"You"ve taught me something," Prince Ning Bei said with admiration, then he said, "My son can sit up and talk to the Princess today. The imperial doctor also said that the situation has improved a lot, but I still have one more thing to ask of you, Master."
"Please speak, Your Highness," Xie Qiao said politely.
"After I return to the capital this time, I will not go to the fiefdom for the time being. The Emperor also intends to let me retire in the capital. I only have two sons. My Eldest Son is already old, but this child... After this matter, I"m worried about him. If he can make you his master, that would be the best," Prince Ning Bei added.
"Making me his master?" Even Xie Qiao, who had always been calm, was shocked when she heard that.
Prince Ningbei"s Young Heir was extremely precious. As long as he did not rebel, he would be able to do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life!
With such a status, he wanted to make her his master?
His taste... was great.
However, when he thought about her own status…
Xie Qiao thought it was inappropriate.
Not only was she Mo Chusheng, she was also Xie Qiao. If her ident.i.ty was accidentally exposed one day, Prince Ningbei would feel that he had been deceived. By then, it would not be good for the Xie family.
"This child and I... are not fated to be master and disciple, the moment Xie Qiao opened her mouth, she drove the subject into a dead end.
Prince Ning Bei"s heart skipped a beat, "What..."
He had thought that this master would make some requests…
Now that she had said that, how could he continue to speak?
"I"ve always been used to wandering around, and I can"t control the child. If Your Highness is worried that the child will encounter such a thing in the future, you can just look for me at the Fortune Pavilion," Xie Qiao added.
When Prince Ning Bei heard that, he thought it was a great pity.
However, he could not force the master to take in a disciple, so he could only let the master leave.
Nevertheless, he remembered the name of the Fortune Pavilion in his heart.
To him, the life of his son was more important than anything else. How could such a small amount of money compare to such a great favor?
Xie Qiao left the courtyard and brought Da Xiong back to the Fortune Pavilion first.
She had only returned to the Fortune Pavilion for two hours when an honored guest came to visit. This honored guest was the eldest son of Prince Ning Bei"s concubine.
The news had spread so quickly. It was obvious that this person had been secretly inquiring about the news.
There was also a place to entertain guests on the first floor. At that moment, Shopkeeper Chang served tea, and the eldest son of the concubine appeared and gave her a generous gift.
This generous gift…
It was actually a silver silk horsetail whisk with a golden handle!
No one knew where it was bought from, but it looked extremely rare!
However, although the item was rare, it was nothing compared to the 10,000 taels of gold. Therefore, Xie Qiao"s mentality was strong, and her face did not change at all. She looked at the horsetail whisk indifferently with a wide and gentle smile.
