I heard that Niangniang is nearsighted

Chapter 423
The overcast clouds remained, and the night was superimposed on top of the clouds, covering up the light layer by layer.

It was getting dark in the woods.

Concubine Rou was also a little tired, she pressed her forehead, unconsciously showing a tired look.

Fan Manman looked at Concubine Rou with concern, "It's getting late, Concubine Rou, Mrs. Saintess, let's leave, go back and rest earlier."

Concubine Rou nodded slightly to Fan Manman, and stood up gracefully while holding the hand of the big maid beside her.

Fan Manman reluctantly touched the petite and lovely white cat, and gently pinched the soft pad.

A fluffy little paw then rested on Fan Manman's hand with very light force, as if she was acting like a spoiled child.

Fan Manman couldn't hold back immediately, she lowered her head and rubbed the kitten with the tip of her nose.

The kitten meowed softly a few times, and Fan Manman's heart melted. This kitten is simply a coquettish, well versed in the principle of seductiveness.

But after all, this is a pet brought by the saint for royal tribute, so it is naturally to be sent to His Majesty.

Even if the saintess decides to give it to her without authorization, she can't accept it beyond the rules.

So Fan Manman touched the white cat in her arms a little depressed, and was about to return it to the southern saint.

The saint of the Southern Kingdom touched the cub chongming bird who was dozing in her arms, and smiled at Fan Manman, with a flash of light in her green eyes, "I see that Fan Zhaorong seems to like this kitten, why bother to refuse, if you are worried about its royal tribute No need for identity, there are many things on the Nanguo gift list, but it’s just a kitten, it doesn’t matter if you cross it out.”

"Furthermore, Your Majesty has always been indifferent to these animals. Even if it is given to His Majesty, it will only be placed in the cat and dog shelter that no one cares about in your palace. It is better to put it in your Luo Temple. being well cared for.”

The princess of Nanguo was speaking while peeping at Fan Zhaorong's expression.

Seeing her thinking deeply, it seemed that she was deliberating.

Princess Nanguo added to the flames, "If Fan Zhaorong is really worried, I can explain to your majesty, I am sure your majesty will not begrudge this kitten."

She refuted all the reasons for hesitation.

Fan Manman fell silent for a moment, with some struggle in her eyes.

Concubine Rou frowned, looking at the enthusiastic Southern Princess, she thought for a moment, why did the Southern Princess insist on accepting this kitten.

It's just a one-time acquaintance, a shallow exchange of words?
To be able to sit in the position of a saint and be sent as an ambassador by the empress of the Southern Kingdom is definitely not an ordinary person.

How could it be that just because he has a good impression of a woman, he persuaded her several times, took out something from the gift list of the royal tribute, and would rather arouse His Majesty's suspicion than insist on going her own way?
"Since the saintess has said so, the hospitality is hard to turn down, Manman will accept it." Concubine Rou said to Fan Manman, but she bent her eyes at the saintess of the southern country.

Fan Manman hesitated when she heard Concubine Rou's words, "I don't accept gifts from you for nothing..."

The heart of the Southern Saintess moved, and she subconsciously thought of the chick in her arms.

But Fan Manman didn't intend to exchange pets, "The concubine buys it with silver taels."

"It must have come all the way from the southern country. It took a lot of energy to raise this kitten so well. It can be seen that it is very caring. The concubine can't take advantage of it for nothing. Is 3000 taels enough?"

Fan Manman didn't know the price of this cat either, so she could only say a number hesitantly.

The Saintess of the Southern Kingdom put away the disappointment in her heart and shook her head at Fan Manman. What she wanted was the friendship that Fan Manman owed her, so how could she still accept Fan Manman's silver taels.

Fan Manman was silent for a moment, then estimated the amount of silver taels in his hand, "4000 taels, no matter how many concubines there are, I won't be able to afford it. If the saintess insists on not accepting it, I'd better take this kitten back, the saintess."

No matter what, it's not worth buying a cat with so much money.

She liked the kitten well, but the thought of spending so much money made her heart ache.
