Chapter 34 Please forgive me
But being able to purchase this one hundred acres of land is a huge fortune, something that is rare but hard to come by.

"Go and have a look first. If the land is good, go and talk to them. Let's buy one hundred acres."

Zhang Rui was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. How much money does this fourth girl have?
These thousands of taels of silver were spent without blinking an eye.

Zuo Xiangning went to Mingyue Mountain again, saw the one hundred acres of fertile land with her own eyes, and took the completed land deed. Only then did the stone in her heart finally fall to the ground.

"It makes people happy when money is gone. Now that all the money has been spent, there is no need to worry about buying things anymore." Zuo Xiangning sat on the hillside, looking at Pan Cui and Zhang Rui at the bottom of the mountain, smiling and murmured in a low voice.

I turned around and walked to the small table. I added a pavilion next to the bridge on the drawing, a pavilion on the mountain, and a small courtyard on the east side of the mountain.

"What is this painting?" A black shadow suddenly appeared above Zuo Xiangning, blocking most of the small table.

Zuo Xiangning looked up and saw Ling Xiao, whom she hadn't seen for many days.

"Master Shizi, why are you here?" Zuo Xiangning asked with a smile.

"Let me see how the bridge is being repaired." Ling Xiao pointed to a square box on the paper and asked, "What is going to be built here?"

"I think the terrain here is quite flat. I want to build a farm here. I can raise some chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. I can keep it for myself during the holidays." Zuo Xiangning said.

"Since we are planning to build a farm, are we buying fertile land?" Ling Xiao asked.

"One hundred acres cost 2000 taels." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "To buy one acre alone, you need at least 25 taels."

"You have a good idea. It's not easy to buy so much land in one place at once." Ling Xiao said with a joking smile: "Have you spent all your money? Do you need me to get you some more?" "

Zuo Xiangning looked into his deep phoenix eyes, her heart tightened inexplicably, and she quickly avoided his gaze and said, "No, I have money."

She lowered her head slightly, and her long and curly eyelashes trembled gently like butterfly wings. They seemed to touch the apex of his heart, making his heart soften into water.

He looked at the drawings, pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Actually, you can also build a house on the top of the mountain. Although it is more troublesome to go up and down the mountain, the view will be better."

"The eldest prince's villa is also built halfway up the mountain." Zuo Xiangning said.

"What does it have to do with you that he built his own?" Ling Xiao said disapprovingly: "The other tops are all pointed, but the top of your mountain is flat, which is more suitable for building a house. If you don't build a house, you won't be able to build a house." You can build a small courtyard and stay there for a few nights occasionally, which would also be good.”

"It's empty and full of trees. It's too scary. The mountainside can be closer to other people's homes so that we can take care of each other." Zuo Xiangning found Ling Xiao standing next to her and staring closely at her, which made her feel panicked. .

She stood up, put the drawings away, and placed the small table under the tree next to her.

"Is there anything else, Prince? I'm going down the mountain."

"Okay." Ling Xiao nodded absently.

Zuo Xiangning turned around and walked down the mountain. She felt the man's hot eyes following her, which made her speed up her pace.

"Miss Left."

When Zuo Xiangning heard the call to her, she turned around and saw the man standing with his hands behind his back walking towards her, "Is the injury on your foot healed?"

Zuo Xiangning thought of the scene when he applied medicine to her feet, her cheeks flushed slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, it's healed now."

"I asked someone to order two pairs of thick-soled shoes for you, and I will send them to you when they are ready." Ling Xiao said: "Also, the next time you come out, bring a few more people with you. There are many people in the wilderness here. It’s not safe.” Zuo Xiangning lowered her head slightly and looked at the stones at her feet, “Once the drawings are done, I won’t come here again.”

"It's okay to find someone safe to watch." Ling Xiao nodded and said, "There are my people on that mountain, and I'll let them watch over here."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lower lip, raised her head and said, "The prince has helped me a lot. From now on, I won't bother the prince to worry about my affairs."

Zuo Xiangning said and bowed to him, "If it's convenient for the prince, I will give the banknote to Zhang Rui, the shopkeeper of Lingzhi Hall on Dongjie Street, on the [-]th every year. If it's not convenient, then the agreement between us can be broken at any time." .”

The smile on Ling Xiao's face gradually faded, and he stared at Zuo Xiangning's little face and said, "What do you mean?"

"There is a difference between men and women. There is no intimacy between giving and receiving." Zuo Xiangning lowered her head and said: "The prince has repeatedly broken into the little girl's boudoir at night, which is against the etiquette and law. Please respect yourself in the future."

"You don't know what I'm thinking?" Ling Xiao asked in a deep voice.

Zuo Xiangning's head dropped a little lower, revealing only a section of her snow-white neck.

"Farewell to the Crown Prince. I hope the Crown Prince will have a smooth life." Zuo Xiangning did not dare to say any more and quickly turned around and ran down the mountain.

Ling Xiao tapped his toes on the ground hard, jumped up, and stood in front of Zuo Xiangning. Zuo Xiangning threw herself into his arms without any defense.

As soon as the man's hand touched her back, she pushed it away forcefully.

Zuo Xiangning took two steps back, staring with big black and white eyes, looking at the surprised man in front of her with a complicated expression.

"You still have 65 days to grow your hair. At that time, I will ask someone to come to my house to propose marriage." Ling Xiao's face softened slightly, he took out a red velvet brocade box from his arms, handed it to her, and said: "I will leave the capital next month and will not be able to return to the capital until about three months. I may not be able to come back in time when you get your haircut. This is my gift for you."

There was a bitterness in Zuo Xiangning's clear eyes. Not only did he clearly tell how many days she had left, but he also carried the gift he gave her with him, which showed that he really paid attention to it.

He was the first man to express his love for her.

But she couldn't accept it.

Not just because of her unbearable experiences in her previous life.

Especially because of his equally worrying future.

Her own life has become a mess, and she has no mood or ability to care about other people's lives.

"The prince's kindness is too much for this little girl to bear." Zuo Xiangning said calmly: "The little girl is just an inconspicuous concubine. In the future, she only wants to find an ordinary-looking student from a poor family as her son-in-law. Spend your life peacefully and ask the prince to find another beautiful woman."

"Are you saying that my appearance is too outstanding and my life experience is too prominent, and I'm afraid that you, the concubine of the Zuo family, are not worthy of me?" Ling Xiao's face lit up, and there was a faint smile in his voice, "Don't worry, You don’t need to worry about these things. I know that the marriage between a man and a woman depends on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since I am happy with you, I will naturally handle everything properly and will never make it difficult for you. "

Zuo Xiangning looked at the man in front of her and blinked. She didn't understand what he saw in her.
Is it the joy of being fat and white?

Or was it because he guessed that her eldest sister would become the queen?
Or was it his own planning that made him feel like he was a good helper who could help him?

No matter what the reason, she would never marry him.

Zuo Xiangning suddenly got excited and said: "Little girl, I really don't dare to hide it. In fact... I have already found someone I like. We are in love with each other. When I am old enough, we will get married... Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
