Chapter 954: Chapter 957 The Vengeful Person
After King Qin wiped his hands, she passed it over.
"Is this... a reward Silver?" King Qin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
When had he stooped to taking reward Silver from a woman?
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "To be precise, it’s a celebratory Silver. When someone does something they’ve never done before, they should be given congratulatory money."
King Qin thought about it and realized he indeed had never changed a child’s diaper before, so he accepted it.
Opening the purse, he found two Golden Melon Seeds inside and his expression changed.
...Was this really not a joke?
After all, he was a Prince, and also acted as the Mighty General. Was he receiving two Golden Melon Seeds for changing a child’s diaper?
Chen Yiling was secretly thrilled, she had the mighty commander Qin Longyun do chores, and now she finally got her revenge.
"Don’t think it’s too little. My husband is only a Seventh Grade Sesame Official."
King Qin plunked down on a stool, "Are you suggesting a salary increase?"
"If you feel it’s necessary and decide to do it, I won’t stop you."
Chen Yiling readily agreed, who would complain about having more of their own Silver, right?
King Qin, with a stern face, said, "How much salary does a Seventh Grade Sesame Official even earn to be rewarding people with Golden Melon Seeds? I’ve decided to conduct a thorough investigation."
"Investigate if you must, but when I return to the Capital, I’ll have to speak with the Imperial Concubine. It seems someone can’t resist taking advantage of her elder’s dowry gift," said Chen Yiling with a smirk.
In the Royal Family, the only ones she could approach were King Qin and the Imperial Concubine, and the relationship between King Qin and the Imperial Concubine was also quite good.
King Qin said no more; men could never outtalk women, otherwise, it would be men who were always arguing in the streets.
Perhaps feeling that what he had just done was beneath his dignity, King Qin didn’t stay much longer before he left.
Before leaving, he gave Qin Mingrui a special look, which probably meant that a gentleman’s revenge could wait ten years.
After King Qin left, Chen Yiling asked eagerly, "What do you think of King Qin?"
With the imperial succession at hand, it was time to take sides.
Qiao Duo’er thought for a while before saying, "If he can maintain his current intentions, he should be a wise king."
"I think so too. He has seen the people’s suffering and will not make unreasonable decisions. But the affairs of the Royal Family are too complex; no one can be sure of the final outcome," sighed Chen Yiling.
She hoped King Qin would ascend to the throne, for he was the most suitable candidate.
Then his hardships would end.
"Let’s not worry too much about it; our opinions don’t count for much anyway. Better to just let things take their natural course," said Qiao Duo’er.
At most, they’d lend a hand when necessary, because the happiness of the people depended on a wise ruler, and she was one of the commoners.
Chen Yiling no longer dwelled on it and had Qiao Duo’er bring Rui Rui over.
"In the future, have some foresight; it’s enough to attract your father’s attention. Just don’t do it on distinguished guests, got it?"
Chen Yiling tapped Rui Rui’s forehead.
It was a good thing it was King Qin today; anyone else might have ended up dead.
But Little Ruirui was completely unaware of the danger that had passed, still happily blowing milk bubbles to himself.
Qiao Duo’er said nonchalantly, "I think it’s an honor for Rui Rui. He’s probably the only baby who could enjoy such treatment."
With this experience, King Qin would surely keep his distance from all babies, let alone take care of changing diapers.
"And his own child. It wouldn’t be right if he didn’t help change a diaper at least once," added Chen Yiling.
She had already made up her mind to ask King Qin when he had a child.
Yes... that’s how she held a grudge.
