I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

In the afternoon, Ling Xiyue felt bored and couldn't sleep, so she spent her time reading in her room.

Xiaoyin stayed by his side and took care of him.

After watching for a while, Ling Xiyue thought of her own money and began to murmur.

"Why haven't you delivered my 100 taels of silver yet? Didn't we agree to deliver it today? Did Your Highness regret it?"

"Yes, it's already the afternoon now. If I don't send you off, it will be dark soon." Xiaoyin looked outside the door, feeling very anxious.

At this moment, Xiaoyin saw the figure of Butler Xiao, and she shouted happily: "Miss, Butler Xiao is here."

Ling Xiyue instantly perked up. She put down the book in her hand, sat up straight and waited.

After a while, Butler Xiao and two servants carrying boxes stood at the door of the room.

"Your servant pays his respects to the eldest prince's wife." Butler Xiao bowed first.

"Butler Xiao, you're here, please come in." Ling Xiyue said politely.

"Yes." Butler Xiao responded and walked into the room.

The servants carried the box into the room and left.

Ling Xiyue looked at the box and thought that it was only 100 taels of silver. She suddenly found it funny and asked, "Butler Xiao, it's only 100 taels of silver. Isn't this box too big?"

Butler Xiao just smiled slightly, walked to the box and opened it with his own hands.

"Princess, please take a look."

Ling Xiyue leaned over to take a look, and when she saw what was inside the box, she was dumbfounded: a box full of gold and silver.

Xiaoyin, who was standing by, was also surprised when she saw this.

"Crown Prince's Consort, there are 100 taels of gold and 500 taels of silver in this box. They are all gifts from His Highness to you. Please take a look." Butler Xiao introduced with a smile.

"What? 100 taels of gold and 500 taels of silver? So much? Didn't we agree to only give 100 taels of silver?" Ling Xiyue widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Yes, this is what His Highness ordered. I am just following his instructions. Princess, if you have any questions, you can ask His Highness." Butler Xiao still had a smile on his face and did not explain further.

Ling Xiyue thought about it and it made sense. Butler Xiao was just following instructions.

"Well, thank you Butler Xiao, thank you for your hard work." Ling Xiyue said politely.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Okay, step back."

After seeing Butler Xiao leave the room, Ling Xiyue stood up, walked to the box, squatted down, and carefully looked at the gold and silver in the box.

Xiaoyin also walked to the box, looked down at it, her eyes shining.

"Although the gold and silver that His Highness gave as betrothal gift before was more than the one here, those were all for my father and had nothing to do with me. But this time, the gold and silver actually fell into my hands." Ling Xiyue sighed.

"Yes, Miss, this time, you don't have to worry about running out of money." Xiaoyin nodded in response.

However, when she thought of so much gold and silver, Ling Xiyue felt a little uneasy.

"Your Highness, why do you have to give so much? We have already agreed to give you 100 taels of silver."

"Look, last night, His Highness stayed in the eldest lady's room, and today he sent so much gold and silver over. It shows how much His Highness likes the eldest lady." Xiaoyin said with a smile.

When Ling Xiyue thought about how nothing happened last night, she fell silent and did not respond to Xiaoyin.

Xiaoyin didn't notice Ling Xiyue's expression. She continued with a smile, "Maybe it was the credit of the dress yesterday. The young lady yesterday was really charming. I, a woman, was fascinated by you, let alone His Highness."

Seeing Xiaoyin’s excited face, Ling Xiyue didn’t know what to say.

She picked up ten taels of silver and handed it to Xiaoyin.

"Here you go. We agreed on that yesterday."

"Thank you, Miss." Xiaoyin took the silver with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoyin, go put your silver away first, and then find a small box. I want to put the gold separately." Ling Xiyue ordered.

"Yes."

Xiaoyin responded and immediately ran back to her room.

Soon, she found a small box and handed it to Ling Xiyue. After Ling Xiyue took it, she put 100 taels of gold into the small box.

"Xiaoyin, please help me put the remaining silver in my closet first, I'll be back soon."

"Miss, where are you going?" Xiaoyin looked confused.

"Go to His Highness and get busy." After Ling Xiyue said this, she held the small box and walked straight out.

"Miss..."

Before Xiaoyin finished speaking, she saw Ling Xiyue had already walked away. She muttered, "Miss, you don't want to return the gold to His Highness, do you?"

Suddenly, I had a bad feeling.

Ling Xiyue walked quickly towards the study, thinking: Your Highness, what is he doing? Giving me 500 taels of silver is fine, but he actually gave me 100 taels of gold. Is he trying to please me? If I accept it, does it mean that I accept him in his eyes? If so, I would rather give it back to him. The point is, as a woman who wants to return to the modern world, why do I need so much silver?

Before I knew it, I arrived at the study, and the door was still closed.

Ling Xiyue couldn't help but wonder: Why is the door always closed? Does he have some secret?

The guard saw Ling Xiyue coming and shouted loudly: "The eldest prince's wife is here."

A voice soon came from inside.

"Enter."

Before Ling Xiyue pushed the door, she saw Shi Hui open the door and walk out.

He bowed when he saw Ling Xiyue.

"Princess, please come in."

"it is good."

Shi Hui left the study without staying.

Ling Xiyue walked into the study alone and saw He Tingxi still sitting at the desk.

She walked to the desk, bowed, and then placed the small box on the table.

"Your Highness, I'll give it back to you."

The moment He Tingxi saw Ling Xiyue, a smile appeared on his face. When he saw the small box, he instantly felt something, but he remained calm.

"Give it back to me? What is it?"

Ling Xiyue took the initiative to open the small box, "Here is 100 taels of gold, I'll return it to you."

He Tingxi looked at the gold in front of him for a long time, very puzzled.

"Why are you giving it back to me? This is a gift from me to you. Aren't you short of money?"

"We agreed to give you 100 taels of silver, why did you give so much?" Ling Xiyue asked back.

He Tingxi smiled lightly and said soothingly: "100 taels of silver is still too little, so I added a little more, thinking that you will definitely need it in the future, so just use it with confidence, don't think too much."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiyue shook her head and disagreed.

"You have to return the 500 taels of silver to me, I will accept it, but I really cannot take the 100 taels of gold. I am a woman who has lived in the mansion for a long time and does not have to bear the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation. I simply cannot use that much. Your Highness may not be short of money now, but people are always in trouble. What if you need money someday? So, Your Highness, it is better to save it first for emergency use."

He Tingxi had been listening quietly to Ling Xiyue's story, and felt very relieved when he saw the considerate Ling Xiyue.

"Xiyue, do you really think so? You really don't want this money?" He Tingxi confirmed again.
