"Transaction?" Xuan Yelan asked in confusion, and asked cautiously, "What do you want?"

"Nothing," Qi Wuyou took a sip of water. Really, this guy came in suddenly and choked her.

"Your Majesty has also seen that I am not yet of age." Qi Wuyou said frankly, "I believe that Your Majesty does not like me either, so Yujia wants an identity," Qi Wuyou looked at Xuan Yelan and said word by word, "A free identity that allows one to be rich and powerful in the capital of Xuan State and come and go freely."

Xuan Yelan raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect such a request.

Then she felt a little disappointed. What did he mean by looking down on her? She didn't even ask, so how did she know that he didn't like her?

"What can you give me?" Xuan Yelan concealed his inner emotions and spoke in a calm tone.

"Yujia has nothing but some small amounts of money, and Your Majesty has seen that." Qi Wuyou casually stated the facts, "As long as I can afford it, Your Majesty can ask for anything."

Xuan Yelan was stunned. This request hit the nail on the head. After all, he was really short of money.

The late emperor was fond of extravagance, and there was not much money left in the national treasury.

After he ascended the throne, he advocated frugality, dismissed many people from the palace, and investigated several corrupt officials. But in the past year, natural disasters continued, grain was harvested, and several counties were flooded. The little money he made was not even warmed up before it was all allocated. And he didn't have much money in his private pocket.

However, "It is not a gentleman's behavior to take away someone else's beloved. Moreover, I am the ruler of a country. How can I take a woman's dowry for no reason?" He refused righteously.

Wow, my heart hurts. (┳Д┳)

Qi Wuyou: Oh, you are quite a man of integrity. You are a gentleman even though you are poor.

However, this Xuan Yelan is completely different from the one in the rumors. Qi Wuyou was worried that he would just snatch her away. Qi Wuyou was glad that he met Xuan Yelan in advance.

"Then let's do this," Qi Wuyou suggested, "I will enter the palace, and Your Majesty can give me a position at will, just as my rent, that should be fine. When the time is right, you can arrange a suitable reason for me to leave the palace."

Xuan Yelan thought it was not a bad idea. At least they were living under the same roof, spending every day together. She couldn't help but be moved.

Qi Wuyou saw that Xuan Yelan was moved, "There are a few shops in my dowry. During the time I'm in the palace, I'll give you half of the money the shops make. Is that okay?"

"How many shops? How much money can you make?" Xuan Yelan said disdainfully.

Qi Wuyou raised his hand and pointed at two large boxes placed casually on the ground.

"Not much. Here, these are all." She was just looking at the deeds of these shops and discovered that there were a few more in the imperial capital of Xuan State.

Xuan Yelan was shocked. What do you call this?

Xuan Yelan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's do as the princess says."

Xuan Yelan could not suppress the smile on his face. "It's getting late. I won't disturb the princess anymore. Please go to bed early." After saying that, he walked out. Yuhua was quick to open the door.

Is it getting dark? Qi Wuyou looked at the sun hanging high outside. Isn't it just noon?

After closing the door, Yuqi was in disbelief. "Is he really the emperor of Xuan State and the princess' fiancé?"

Seeing Qi Wuyou nodded, Yuqi looked ashen, "He won't kill me, will he? I just tried to stop him at the door."

"Okay, it's okay. If he wanted to kill you, would you still be standing here and talking to me?" Qi Wuyou picked up another piece of cake.

Mei Xue nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, the Emperor of Xuan State is very different from what was rumored."

Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his carefree self. "Then I feel relieved."

Here, Lu Yu was in Xuan Yelan's room, worried about Qi Wuyou's safety.

After all, he knew Xuan Yelan's temper too well. He was usually fine in front of people he knew, but if this outsider dared to provoke him, he would definitely make that person lose some skin.

Princess Yujia is still young and has already kept a gigolo, and she even dares to bring the gigolo to her husband's home. Which man can tolerate this?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Xuan Yelan coming back in a hurry with a smile on his face.

Lu Yu was puzzled. Why was he so happy even though he was cuckolded?

Xuan Yelan sat down next to Lu Yu and drank a sip of tea.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Lu Yu asked. He was really curious.

"I'm rich," Xuan Yelan said mysteriously.

"Ah?" Lu Yu touched Xuan Yelan's head, "Your hair isn't even hot, why are you still talking nonsense?"

Xuan Yelan pushed Lu Yu's hand away, "It's Princess Yujia..."

Lu Yu interrupted, "You want to rob Princess Yujia of her money? That's not a good idea."

Xuan Yelan couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Lu Yu on the head.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yu felt pain.

"What nonsense! She wanted to give it to me." Xuan Yelan said.

"Why should I give you money for no reason?" Lu Yu wondered.

Xuan Yelan was unhappy when this was mentioned. "She wants a free identity. She doesn't want to stay in the palace forever." There was a hint of powerlessness in Xuan Yelan's voice.

He has had no woman around him for so many years, and now he finally falls in love with someone, but the other person is not willing.

When Lu Yu heard this, he was shocked. He thought that the princess might have eloped with her lover under the pretext of marriage.

Lu Yu carefully probed, "Have you asked about your beloved baby?"

Xuan Yelan's face was completely frozen, his complexion turned ashen, and he couldn't utter a word.

Okay, forget it. Lu Yu knew that this man who was moved would become stupid. A woman could forget about important matters with just a few words.

However, he still comforted Xuan Yelan, "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Wang Ke is not Princess Yujia's personal maid. How much can she know about the princess' affairs?"

Seeing that Xuan Yelan's expression had relaxed and there was no sign of easing up, Lu Yu came up with another bad idea, "Why don't we ask the princess's personal maid? The one named Mei Xue seems to have been with Yu Jia for a long time. I'm sure the princess would not hide many things from her."

Xuan Yelan did not comment, but he felt that Lu Yu was right and he would find a chance to ask Mei Xue about it.

On Qi Wuyou's side, Mei Xue suddenly shuddered, "What's wrong?" Qi Wuyou asked.

"It's okay, I just feel a little cold." Mei Xue touched her neck. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt a chill on the back of her neck since a while ago.

Qi Wuyou frowned, "Maybe you caught a cold? You should have a good rest tonight. You don't have to accompany me."

"Well, thank you, Princess." Mei Xue did not refuse.

Now the princess is at the post station, guarded by the personal guards of Emperor Xuan, and the four people who are good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting take turns to keep watch, so nothing will happen.

She really needed to rest. Tomorrow she would leave for the imperial capital of Xuan State. She couldn't get sick. It would take several days on the road. If she got sick, she would be held back. She also didn't feel comfortable leaving the princess to be taken care of by others. She promised the queen that she would take good care of the princess.
