Chapter 251 Bribery (2)
Chapter 251 Bribery (2)
"The Third Prince can't give me what I like." Ji Xiaomu said with a smile.
"Is there anything I can't give you?" The third prince disagreed and insisted that little Ji explain it.
"For example, I want freedom, but you can't give it to me." Ji Xiaou looked at the third prince. Some people are used to having everything go smoothly and cannot tolerate any questioning.
"How is that possible? I have given you the greatest freedom. Except for not being able to leave the villa, you can go anywhere you want." The third prince said immediately.
"That's like being imprisoned, not freedom." Ji Xiaowu shook her head and picked up the cakes on the table. "For example, this cake, I can eat it if I want to, and I can not eat it if I don't want to. I can eat it in half or in one bite. I can do whatever I want. This is called freedom."
"Instead of... I tell you, you can eat it, you can not eat it, you can share it in half, or you can eat it in one bite. What you give me is limited, but what I want is unlimited." Ji Xiaomu took the cake in her hand, pinched it into small pieces, and threw it into the lake. The koi in the lake immediately swam over and scrambled for the food.
The Third Prince watched as Aunt Ji fed the fish the cakes bit by bit and chuckled. "Hahahahaha... you are indeed funny."
"You are a smart man. You should know that I will never give you the freedom you want." The third prince smiled evilly, picked up the cakes on the table and threw them directly into the lake.
"We are all smart people, why do you have to force it?" Ji Xiaowu calmly poured herself a cup of tea. "Are you going to bribe me with so-called wealth and glory?"
"You think I'm just a woman, but if you give me some beautiful clothes, dress me up so 'rich', and let me live the life of a superior person for a few days, I will be obsessed with it?"
"What's wrong with that?" The third prince said with a smile, waiting for Ji Xiaou's answer.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I'm used to accepting bad things and suffering." Ji Xiaou and the third prince looked straight at each other, and the fire in their eyes flashed away.
"If he lends me a helping hand, he will enjoy endless wealth and glory." The third prince walked in front of Ji Xiaou, lowered his head, and looked at Ji Xiaou with his dark eyes.
"When you negotiate with others, do you never consider what their wishes are?" Ji Xiaomu raised her head, her bright brown eyes flashing with a cold light.
"My conditions are generous enough." said the third prince.
"To whom?" Ji Xiaowu said fearlessly. "All your conditions depend on you becoming the emperor. What if you can't? Will you let him die with you? What can you do to make someone risk his life to ensure that you can ascend to the throne?"
"..." Unable to refute.
"Besides, how do you know that he wants wealth and glory? If he wanted wealth and glory, he would have had it long ago, but did he miss it? Did he listen to your father? You don't even know the most basic needs of a person, and all you talk about is wealth and glory, promotion and advancement. Can you afford such a big pie?"
Ji Xiaou's words made the Third Prince's face darken, and the steward outside the pavilion broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Ji Xiao's words were harsh, they were not without reason. If Fang Chen had set his sights on wealth and glory, he could have obeyed the emperor's order and married his princess and become his son-in-law. However, he would rather give up his military command and retire to the mountains than marry the princess.
"Then what method do you have to make him support me?" For the first time, the Third Prince looked directly at the woman in front of him and sat in front of Ji Xiaomu. The two of them stared at each other deeply across the table.
"It depends on...what kind of help you want." Ji Xiaomu said seriously.
