Yanjing was bustling with activity, as two major events took place. First, Prince Gao, who was already a commoner, was caught by the Iron Eagle Guards as soon as he left the palace and was castrated on the spot by imperial decree. Second, the Emperor was going to select a princess for Prince Yu, and all eligible unmarried women from official families must participate.

Little Yining was like a badger in a melon field, scaring away one crop after another.

King Yu did not marry in the book!

Moreover, she had never expected that such a powerful family could turn a man into a eunuch directly and have the world praise his kindness.

"The emperor is so good to Prince Yu. He hasn't even chosen a concubine himself, but he cares so much about Prince Yu." Liu Zhenying muttered, supporting her chin with her hand. "My mother sent a message saying that the previous dynasty was urging the emperor to fill the harem and have more children."

This statement is difficult for Xiao Yining, a modern person, to comment on. At present, there are already many women in her uncle's harem, and one man cannot divide them all among them. If there are a few more, I'm afraid they will go crazy fighting for them. Moreover, she has been in the girls' school for so long and has heard Liu Zhenying's chatter. She knows very well how many times the emperor spent the night in the harem in the previous dynasty. It was no more than ten times a year. He basically dealt with government affairs every night. He was a career-oriented man.

It is a blessing for the people to have such a wise ruler.

But she expressed her doubts. Her uncle really took good care of her, which showed that he was a loving person. Could it be that her grandmother was so irreplaceable in the emperor's heart that he was unwilling to do this and that with a woman? Hiss... This was another kind of scumbag, the kind that was sorry for his wife.

Is it really a good thing for so many young ladies to waste their youth in the harem?

"This is a big deal. I want to tell my father about it." Cui Zhiyao said worriedly. Her sister is already 18 years old and is also on the list. Her father has treated the King of Yu and he seems to be in poor health. What will happen if her sister is really selected?

She was not the only one who was worried. Everyone in Yanjing was busy getting engaged, and even the marriage rate was rising.

She looked at little Yining and said, "Sister Yining, can this slave be released tomorrow? I want to send someone to ask my family and then write back to my father."

Xiao Yining nodded indifferently. The last time her father wrote back to her, there was only one line in his letter telling her to read more and talk less, and the rest was written to her mother.

Of course, she was not angry at him for expressing his feelings to his mother. She was angry at this bastard father forgot her birthday and didn't even say a word of blessing. Her mother was not fooled by this man's sweet words. She just said lightly, "Your father, we will come back to clean up. Qingjie'er, mother will make sure he will not forget you, her own daughter."

It has to be her mother who treats her best.

However, Cui Zhiyao's words reminded her that she should also write to her father about what happened in Yanjing, and also tell her father what Leng Mengwan did to her.

However, Leng Mengwan has been keeping an eye on her, and might even steal her letters to read them, and then take revenge on her.

So sad!

Little Yining tilted her head and looked outside. The cold wind blew the dead trees. She thought that this was the last time for the carrier pigeon to go to Yanzhou. When she had a holiday in a few days, her mother would take her back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. This was what she had promised her grandmother.

This way I will have a lot to say to my father and uncle.

It would be great if bamboo tubes could be tied all over the body of a carrier pigeon.

The carrier pigeon resting in the cage was startled for some reason and fluttered around inside for a long time.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Little Yining finally sent Aunt Zhao to the next room and then she started meowing.

"Sister San, are you there?"

No sound.

Xiao Yining pursed her lips. Didn’t she say that she could be called if she had any difficulties?

"Sister San, are you taking a shit? Yining will call you later."

13 opened his eyes in silence. What was this kid doing staying awake in the middle of the night?

Xiao Yining turned around and sat on the bed, and saw Cool Warrior 13 in black sitting in the room pouring water and drinking tea. She immediately ran over, grinning and whispered, "Sister San, you're here."

13 opened his eyelids and looked at the little man. "What's the matter?"

"Do you have that kind of secret letter paper?" This was a method that Xiao Yining had thought of during the day. He didn't want others to see it, but he wanted to write a lot, so he had to use that kind of special paper. It's often shown in TV dramas, so it must be here.

"What kind?"

Eh…are there many more varieties of this?

Xiao Yining showed a delighted expression and gestured with his hands, "It's the kind where the words disappear when written, but reappear using some method. And they won't overlap with the words written behind them."

13 He understood, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, picked out one and handed it to Xiao Yining.

"Thank you, Sister San."

"Twelve taels."

"Huh?" Little Yining stared blankly at the adult in front of him, thinking he was hallucinating.

13 He curled his lips coldly and repeated patiently, "A piece of paper is worth ten taels of silver. No cheating for children or the elderly."

This still costs money?

Isn’t ten taels too expensive?

"Sister, Yining has no money." Little Yining reminded with tears in her eyes, as if she would cry if she asked for money.

13 crossed his arms and said coldly, "You have a gold bar."

Xiao Yining: Hmm?

"A golden boy of three, two, and three, two gold necklaces, five gold bracelets, and a silver boy of three, two, and three."

Little Yining stepped back in fear, as if he had been stripped of all his clothes.

13 He pointed to the chest, “There are pieces of silver and copper coins in it.”

There are zeros and integers, and not a single cent is missing.

She stretched her hand in front of Xiao Yining and bent it twice. "You choose, paper or ten taels."

Little Yining shook her head repeatedly, about to cry, "Mammy will know, Yining can't take it."

13 bent down to her level, looked at her with cold eyes, and said softly, "Gold bars, I'll write the IOU."

Little Yining looked at the robber who bullied the child in disbelief and finally couldn't hold back tears. He held the gold bar reluctantly.

Her gold bars are gone, woooo.

She sacrificed so much for her daddy!!!

13 accepted the gold bar with satisfaction and was about to jump to her hiding place when she felt her trouser legs being pulled again. She frowned and looked down, and saw the little man sniffing and asking her if he could help her write a letter.

"10 cents per word, no cheating for children or adults."

Little Yining couldn't believe that this also required money. It was too cunning. Her chubby little hand pointed at the teapot on the table and said, "Sister San, you drank my three taels of silver tea. Pay me."

13: ...a dishonest businessman.

Xiao Yining: If you rape me, I will rape you too.

13 sat down again, watching Xiao Yining tear the paper into pieces and stuff them carefully into the book expressionlessly. He placed the remaining piece of paper in front of her and said, "How many words do you want to write, and what size?"

Xiao Yining: No way, this makes sense.

She thought for a moment, pinched her fingers and said, "It's as big as an ant. I have a lot to say to my dad and uncle."

"Twenty cents a word, go ahead." 20 took out a special pen and ink from his bosom and waited for her to speak.

Xiao Yining didn't expect that this sister would raise the price. She bit her fingers in anger. 20 cents per word, why didn't she go and grab it? No wonder there is the idiom "cherish words as if they were gold".

She wanted to cry, well, she had already started crying, Sister San had such a cruel heart.

"father."

Assets - 20

"Leng Mengwan wants to kill me and make me your daughter."

Assets - 200

The more Xiao Yining talked, the more she wanted to cry. It was the first time she experienced the feeling of spending money like water.

On the second day, Xiao Yining came to class with watery eyes. Cui Zhiyao was the same as her. It seemed that the news she heard was not good.

“You two…” The official ghostwriter Yan Ke looked at them and said angrily, “Oh, don’t be unhappy. At worst, I won’t ask for any reward this time.”

"I've written it."

"I've written it."

The two said in unison and looked at each other in surprise.

"Ah, you don't need me anymore?" Yan Ke suddenly felt lost and tears dropped from his eyes in grievance.

Okay, one more blister eye.

13 He blew on the gold bar with a wicked smile. No wonder the little girl smiled foolishly at the gold bar every day. It really feels good to be rich.

Xiao Yining: Sister San, can my father find this letter within the letter?

13: Anyone I know can see it.

Xiao Yining: ...Well, my father should be able to find out. After all, he will be the prime minister in the future and he is very smart.

13: You can’t be a father, you’re stupid.

Xiao Yining: ...
