Chapter 362 Beauty's Scheme

Everyone in the room was amused by Yuanyuan's money-loving appearance.

Zhao Luoxuan quickly stuffed a purse into her hand and said, "Yeah, our Yuanyuan is more obedient."

Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Duan Qi, raising her little head high in a proud manner.

"For my aunt's sake, I will play with you for a while."

Duan Qi tried hard to overcome his shyness, walked forward and performed a proper greeting to Yuanyuan.

That little guy looks just like Tuantuan just now.

Gu Huan looked at the elegant appearance of the little person, and the image of how she liked Brother Ji when she first met him emerged in her mind. Her nose felt a little sour and her eyes turned red.

Mu Junyan quietly hugged her shoulders. Gu Huan sniffed, looked up at him and smiled sweetly at him.

Don't be jealous, otherwise you will make others upset at night.

Duan Qi suddenly said: "My cousin is really pretty."

Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she tilted her head and asked in a baby voice, "Really?"

Duan Qi nodded seriously: "Really, as beautiful as my aunt."

Yuanyuan was immediately overjoyed. Her mother was named the most beautiful woman by the people of Juzhou, so she was also the most beautiful woman.

Yuanyuan stretched out her chubby little hand: "Come on, I'll take you to the kitchen to eat something delicious."

Gu Huan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, this is our Yuanyuan's highest standard of hospitality."

Yuanyuan turned around and glared at her mother: "Mom!"

Gu Huan quickly suppressed her laughter and put on a loving motherly face: "Donghua, Sui'er, take the children out to play."

Yuanyuan happily pulled Duan Qi with one hand and Tuan Tuan with the other, and jumped out.

The maids hurriedly chased after him.

The others knew they had something to say and stepped out on their own accord.

There were only four people left in the room, including Gu Huan.

Gu Huan looked at Zhao Luoxuan with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Xuanxuan, your mother and the crown prince are going to attack us and the Mu family army. We have no choice but to fight back."

Zhao Luoxuan nodded: "Sister, don't worry, just do it. Ever since they sent me to Dali to marry, we no longer have family ties, only rights and interests."

Duan Yu glanced at her.

Zhao Luoxuan felt his gaze and looked over as well. "At that time, it was your father who asked me to marry you. Now I am marrying you of my own free will."

Duan Yu smiled: "Okay. I will cherish you and the child."

Zhao Luoxuan smiled gently.

Gu Huan glanced at them. Although she couldn't feel the love between them as deep and affectionate as Mu Junyan felt for her, at least they accepted each other.

Duan Yu: "Don't worry, there is no family affection in the royal family. Xuanxuan and I brought Duan Qi here to show that the Mu family army and Dali will live and die together."

Gu Huan was relieved, turned to look at Mu Junyan, and asked slowly: "I wonder if the prince has accepted the gift I gave him?"

Mu Junyan smiled and said, "Of course, it's impossible for him not to fall into the trap of my princess's brilliant plan."

Zhao Luoxuan was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface: "Can I ask what it is? I just want to know what it is, I won't say anything."

Gu Huan smiled and said, "Empress Sun gave my husband a woman, so I naturally have to reciprocate. Of course, it depends on whether the prince is determined."

Zhao Luoxuan: "I have never thought that he is suitable to be the crown prince. Even without our scheme, if he wants to become a wise ruler and to hold the throne firmly, he will have to go through all kinds of hardships. If he can't bear it, then he has no right to sit in that high position."

Gu Huan simply laid out the matter.

Zhao Luoxuan looked a little depressed when she heard this: "If he can't even get through this kind of disaster, then that's his fate."

…

In order to win the hearts of the people, the prince brought his full regalia with him on the road to southern Xinjiang, wishing that all the officials and people along the way knew that he, the prince, was there in person to provide disaster relief.

When they arrived in Xiangzhou, they met many refugees from all over the southern Xinjiang who had suffered disasters. Crown Prince Zhao Yuxuan ordered that grain and silver be distributed wherever they met refugees, which won praise from the people for a while. At the same time, the guard of honor was surrounded by refugees from morning to night.

The imperial guards were so frightened that they stayed awake all night and were on high alert for twelve hours, fearing that someone would assassinate the crown prince or run into the crown prince and the sixth prince Zhao Yuwen.

One morning, Zhao Yuxuan had just gotten up when he heard a woman crying miserably not far away.

He got out of the carriage, stood on it and looked in the direction of the crying sound, and saw two people dragging a person away.

Zhao Yuwen was also awakened and jumped out of the carriage to look around.

He pointed excitedly at the distance: "Brother Crown Prince, it seems that someone is robbing a commoner girl. Do you want to save her?"

Zhao Yuxuan nodded: "Of course I have to save him."

He pointed at the commander of the imperial guards and said, "Go and save them."

The robbers were just two gangsters, who were no match for the imperial guards and were soon caught up.

The commander of the imperial guards had a fierce look on his face: "What's going on?"

The captured girl raised her tearful eyes and said, "General, please save me. I don't want to be sold to that shameful place. I am a good girl."

The commander of the imperial guards looked at the woman.

Her voice was trembling and she sounded young, with disheveled hair and messy clothes. Her features could not be seen clearly, but from her exposed skin one could see that her skin was whiter than snow and she had a nice figure.

"Sir, she sold herself to bury her parents. It cost her ten taels of silver. Now she regrets it."

"Yes, we didn't force her. Since she has sold her body, she has no say. Who can come up with ten taels of silver? We can't lose money, right? She can't take the silver and then expect to sell it to a good seller, right?"

The commander of the imperial guards frowned and said, "Wait a minute."

Since it is the prince's order to save people, then the prince should make the decision.

He rode back and reported to the prince.

Zhao Yuxuan said without hesitation: "Isn't it just ten taels of silver? Just give it to him."

Zhao Yuwen nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, it's too much to sell a good girl to such a shameful place for just ten taels of silver!"

The commander of the imperial guards went there and brought the woman over smoothly. The woman tore her tattered dress with both hands, trying to cover her body. She was brought to Zhao Yuxuan, where she knelt on the ground and crawled on the ground crying.

"Thank you very much for saving me, my life and death depend on you. I am willing to be your slave and servant until my death."

Zhao Yuwen jumped off the carriage and looked down at her: "You are a good girl, why do you want to be a slave?"

The woman raised her head, her tearful eyes were red at the corners, like the peach blossoms just withering, I felt pity for her.

She cried hesitantly, "I have already sold myself. Now you have sold me and saved me, so naturally I will become your servant."

Zhao Yuxuan smiled and said, "No need. I don't need a maid. You are free to go home."

The girl was suddenly shocked: "I? You, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I was saved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a god. He not only saved millions of people from the disaster, but also saved me. Please take me in. My parents are dead and I have no home. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't take me in, I might be captured by them again."

The girl cried as she spoke, and finally she cried so hard that she was unable to speak.

Zhao Yuxuan was flattered by her so much that he wished he could grow three inches taller.

No one had ever praised him like this.

Compare him to a god.

"presumptuous!"

The eunuch standing under the carriage staring at the girl looked cold: "Can anything serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The girl was so frightened that her crying stopped abruptly and she curled up and trembled.

It was very cold in mid-February.

The girl was only wearing a thin dress, which was torn to shreds.

Zhao Yuwen couldn't stand it anymore: "It's just a maid, one more mouth to feed, why are you so fierce!"

The eunuch hurriedly bowed and said, "Sixth Prince, to be a maid in the palace you must have a clean background..."

The girl suddenly kowtowed heavily: "Thank you very much, Your Highness, for saving my life. I will leave now."

As he spoke he stood up tremblingly, turned around and took a few steps before he fainted on the ground, swaying.
