Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Zhou Chang went to the study to prepare to receive the visitor.

This was the first time she received guests in Prince Yi's Mansion since she changed her identity to Prince Yi.

Not long after, Aunt Jing led Yuan Qi and He Xi in, followed by two boy servants, Duofu and Duobao.

Jing Xin, everyone in the palace called her "Aunt Jing".

Like Shouhou, Aunt Jing was an old palace maid who served Prince Yi's biological mother, Concubine Lan. Later, Concubine Lan died young, and Aunt Jing continued to serve Prince Yi until he reached adulthood, raising him with her own hands until she followed him out of the palace and continued to help him manage the affairs of the palace.

Yuan Qi was wearing a white dress with cloud pattern and orchid gold thread. She stood against the light and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

The moment Yuan Qi saw Zhou Chang, he immediately bowed down and could not suppress his excitement: "Your Highness Prince Yi, the Yuan family has no way to repay you."

Zhou Chang jumped up from his chair in shock: "No, oh, no, no need to be so polite."

Aunt Jing rushed forward and helped Yuan Qi up.

Zhou Chang then made a "please" gesture and said, "Miss Yuan, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

Yuan Qi was helped up and was about to express his gratitude again when he suddenly froze.

The reason why Prince Yi's study is called a study is because the word "study" is engraved on the plaque outside.

The interior design fully reflects the four words "bare walls" in the house.

There was a desk and three chairs, one of which was lame.

Besides that there was not even a book.

When Zhou Chang came in for the first day, he complained that if one had a little status, even if they were just wealthy, shouldn't they have a name on the plaque in their study?

For example, "Yuewei Thatched Cottage" and the like.

If this study room had to be named, it could only be called "Low Room", but Liu Yuxi had already used it.

There was only a cracked inkstone and a dry and hard brush on the desk, which barely revealed the purpose of this desk.

Only the window screens were the color of light blue water, and the sunlight from outside filtered in, making it appear particularly bright.

Yuan Qi had obviously never seen a study with such a "unique style", let alone a prince's study.

"Ahem..." Zhou Chang coughed and smiled, "Miss Yuan, there's no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yuan Qi came back to his senses and nodded awkwardly as a thank you for the seat, but he still stood there motionless.

"Please take a seat. There is no need to be so polite in front of me." Zhou Chang made way for him again in a friendly manner.

Yuan Qi not only helped a stranger but was also approachable. She should do the same to Yuan Qi now.

After she finished speaking, she realized that, apart from the one she was sitting on, there were only two chairs left in the study. One of them didn't look very sturdy, and the other was even lame.

Finally, he couldn't resist the embarrassment and asked through his teeth: "Aunt Jing, do you have any extra chairs?"

Aunt Jing was not in a hurry. She took out a large cloth and wiped the chair near the table, then made a generous "please" gesture: "Excuse me Miss Yuan, please take a seat. The prince's study is being renovated, so this place can only be used temporarily to entertain guests. Please don't mind."

The corners of Zhou Chang's mouth twitched. Aunt Jing was a person who cared about her reputation.

But the plaque outside the study had the word "Study" written on it in large letters. Anyone coming in could see it unless they were blind, so there was no need to make do with it.

At this time, Duofu Duobao brought in tea.

Aunt Jing filled the cup with tea herself, but found that there was no place to put the teacup.

Duobao was smart and gathered the books under the lame chair, and the lame chair was straightened up.

Aunt Jing ignored the lame leg and dusted the dust off with a cloth. Then she placed the tea bowl on the chair and even made a more graceful gesture of "please": "Miss Yuan, please have some tea."

Yuan Qi was finally unable to be polite and sat down on the chair with all four legs, while He Xi stood behind him.

Aunt Jing turned around and stood one step behind Zhou Chang.

She was in her forties, with her hair tied in a bun in the shape of a bright moon, wearing a brown dress embroidered with lotus leaves and peonies, a little makeup on her face, and a coral necklace around her neck. In addition to being mature and dignified, her face did not show many signs of aging, and she was a typical palace beauty.

Standing behind Zhou Chang, he was considered the last dignity of the entire Prince Yi's Mansion.

"Miss Yuan, have you heard the news?" Zhou Kai went straight to the point, feeling quite proud.

"Your Highness Prince Yi," Yuan Qi did not answer directly, but bowed slightly, "I would like to have a detailed discussion with Your Highness alone. Is it convenient?"

Zhou Chang was also feeling awkward and many people stood aside to "watch", especially Aunt Jing.

There had been no guests visiting Prince Yi's mansion for many years, and this was the first time they had hosted Yuan Qi.

Aunt Jing unconsciously put on an attitude of "facing a formidable enemy", which made her feel very pressured.

Zhou Chang winked at Aunt Jing behind him.

Aunt Jing stood there without moving, as if she was worried about something.

Zhou Chang also thought of the "defense between men and women": "Ahem, Aunt Jing, you guys go guard outside the door first, Miss Yuan and I have something serious to discuss."

Aunt Jing bowed reluctantly: "Yes, my lord, you two can chat slowly. I will be waiting outside the door."

Yuan Qi waited for Aunt Jing to leave, then he stood up, took a sandalwood brocade box with gold thread from He Xi's hand behind him, and signaled He Xi to leave.

Everyone left the study, and Yuan Qi presented the gold-threaded sandalwood brocade box with both hands: "This is a small gift from the Yuan family. It cannot repay your highness for your great kindness. I hope Your Highness Prince Yi will accept it as a token of my appreciation."

Zhou Chang did not move, nor did he think about accepting the gift from the Yuan family.

Yuan Qi Qiuhong's eyes were full of gratitude as she opened the brocade box: "Your Highness, this is the deed to two houses and a hot spring outside Jindu City. I was in such a hurry that I couldn't prepare anything better."

It turns out that this is the reason for sending others away. However, it is really a big deal.

According to Prince Yi Fengming's current financial situation, she really should accept it.

Zhou Chang pinched his thigh hard under the table and said, "No, Miss Yuan, please take it back. I absolutely cannot accept it."

Yuan Qi paused, and immediately thought of something: "It is my fault for not thinking carefully. If Your Highness finds it inconvenient, please allow some time, and I will definitely pay the equivalent amount in silver."

"No, no, no..., the matter has not been concluded yet, it's just a bet. Miss Yuan, there is no need to do this." Zhou Chang insisted on refusing, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, Yuan Qi thanked him so openly, had he heard those words of Prince Duan that ruined Prince Yi's reputation?

Yuan Qi did not refuse and took the brocade box into his pocket. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then there is one more thing to do. Your Highness cannot refuse it."

"What?" Zhou Chang asked.

"Since it's a bet, there will always be winners and losers. If this bet...is lost, the one million taels of silver will be paid by the Yuan family." Yuan Qi had obviously thought of this beforehand.

"Well..." Zhou Chang scratched his head, looking hesitant, but in fact he didn't take it to heart. "As long as he has some ability, he won't be completely without any ability.
