Chapter 540: Dropping the Amulet

Meng Chifei held Wen Yan in one hand and Ning Tan in the other, reluctant to part with them: "I will go to the palace with my parents and brother to see the emperor first.

I will be very busy these few days. I will come to play with you guys when I am done. "

Meng Chifei hugged the two of them, turned around and joined the team.

She came to her younger brother's horse, grabbed the reins and jumped on it.

His agile movements and graceful demeanor immediately caused many women to exclaim in surprise.

“Sister Meng is so skilled.

She is indeed the first female lieutenant in Dayong."

"I only regret that I am not a man, otherwise I would definitely marry Sister Meng."

"It would be fine if I could become her sworn sister. I'm not picky!"

"Puff... cough cough..." Wen Yan choked and coughed when she heard this. Girls nowadays really dare to say anything.

Ning Tan also covered his lips and chuckled: "I can't blame these women. Even I can't help but be moved and want to find a partner like her."

Wen Yan pinched her cheek and said, "Then your expectations will be dashed. You can only be her sister-in-law in this life!"

Speaking of marriage.

Ning Tan's cheeks began to feel hot and she lowered her head shyly.

Most of the people around had dispersed.

Wen Yan took Ning Tan's hand and said, "Let's go back to the city. Let's go eat something delicious first. After that, I'm going to check on the shops. Do you want to come with me? Or should we go home first?"

Ning Tan thought for a moment and said, "Let me go with you to inspect the shops.

Chi Fei recently told me that Meng...Xiyan owns a number of shops and wants me to take care of them after we get married.

You know my situation. I have been imprisoned by the Qian family for five years and I don't know anything.

You are a good businessman, and I want to learn a thing or two from you."

“No problem.

If you don't understand something, just ask me." Wen Yan pulled her back.

They first went to Qingfenlou for brunch, and then prepared to go to Tianyi Cloth Shop to check the sales of this year's winter collections.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Gu Saisai in the hall on the first floor.

When two enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other.

Ever since they last saw each other in the palace, people have been trying to kill Wen Yan.

Things like being hit by a carriage on the street, getting into a fight with thugs in the alley, and having your food poisoned.

If Wen Yan hadn't been smart enough, and if Yue Sheng and Meng Chi Fei hadn't been by her side all the time, she wouldn't have been able to escape danger time and time again.

Otherwise, she would be disabled if not dead.

Wen Yan glanced at Gu Saisai coldly, pretending not to know her, and pulled Ning Tan away.

It was a rare opportunity for Gu Saisai to meet her, and the annoying Meng Chifei was not by her side.

How could she let go of such a golden opportunity?

She raised her chin, and the maidservant beside her stepped forward to block Wen Yan and Ning Tan's way. "How dare you! Princess Jinghe is here, and you are so rude! Don't you take the royal family seriously?"

When they heard the princess's name, everyone around them took the initiative to step back three meters, for fear of becoming cannon fodder.

Wen Yan refused to accept the accusation of disrespecting the imperial power.

Wen Yan narrowed his eyes, turned his head and looked at Gu Saisai for a long moment before he said in shock, "Oh, it really is Princess Jinghe! Sorry, I've been too tired lately, and my eyesight isn't good, so I didn't recognize you."

Princess Jinghe snorted softly, "Now that you've recognized me, why don't you kneel down and salute me?"

Wen Yan took a deep breath, her eyes wide open: "Princess Jinghe, did you go out without your brain today?

Even if the person standing in front of me is a first-rank official, I only need to perform the salute of a subordinate and do not need to kneel.

You are just a princess with no power, so you have no right to ask me to kneel."

"You..." Princess Jinghe was about to retort, but was interrupted by Wen Yan, "Of course, if you rely on your royal bloodline to oppress the people, then I will kneel now."

Wen Yan lifted up her skirt and pretended to kneel.

Isn’t it just putting a big hat on someone?

Who doesn’t know that!

If I disrespect my superior, others will just say that she doesn't know the rules and at most give her a few scoldings to teach her some manners.

If Gu Saisai's accusation of oppressing the people is proven, then she has brought disgrace upon the royal family, and the royal clan will naturally send respected elders to reprimand her.

Wen Yan was about to kneel down.

Gu Saisai could only grit her teeth and call it a day: "Forget it. I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously?"

"So you were joking, I thought the royal family would really raise someone with such a bad temper.

It’s all my fault for not seeing the princess’ true intention.” Wen Yan looked at Gu Saisai with a smile.

Gu Saisai’s hands were almost crushed in her sleeves.

This damn girl is provoking her.

Wen Yan bowed to her and said, "Since the princess has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

Wen Yan left gracefully.

Gu Saisai was so angry that she didn't want to let her go so easily, so she deliberately blocked her way.

Wen Yan had already noticed her little movement out of the corner of her eye. She deliberately took a bigger step and stepped on Gu Saisai's instep.

Gu Saisai screamed in pain.

Wen Yan fell to the ground and took the initiative to attack: "Ah... Princess, why did you trip me on purpose?"

Gu Saisai's face twisted in pain: "It was you who stepped on me..."

"You are the princess. You said that I stepped on you, so just think of it as me stepping on you!" Wen Yan lowered her head and shed tears, her eyes were full of tears, and her appearance was heartbreaking.

"You..." Gu Saisai pointed at Wen Yan, her face twisted with anger.

She turned around and scolded the maid: "Come here quickly and help me find a doctor!"

Her maidservant was silent as a mouse, and hurried forward to help her leave.

Just as Gu Saisai stood up, a sachet fell to the ground.

A corner of yellow paper was exposed, like a talisman.

A bold guess suddenly popped up in Wen Yan's mind.

She picked up the sachet and opened it, and sure enough, inside was an amulet folded into a triangle.

The amulet looked more and more familiar.

It was exactly the same as the one Huo Yaoxing gave her.

“…”

Wen Yan's mouth twitched.

Finally, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Good job.

Huo Yaoxing is really capable.

He knelt down at Dazhao Temple and got three amulets. He gave one to Wen Ruyue in exchange for reputation, one to Wen Yan in exchange for a future as a famous teacher, and one to Gu Saisai in exchange for the protection of a financial sponsor.

It is not an exaggeration for the Jade Emperor to confer upon him the title of Master of Divine Talisman Management.

"Do you want to return it to Princess Jinghe?" Ning Tan asked.

"Of course." Wen Yan stood up and limped after him: "Princess Jinghe, your sachet fell."

Gu Saisai's expression changed and she snatched the sachet.

Wen Yan deliberately said, "The amulet in the sachet fell out just now, and it looks like the one that Master Huo prayed for his wife!"

Gu Saisai's eyes flashed with viciousness: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the talisman I asked for at Dazhao Temple myself. What's so strange about it being similar?"

After saying that, she left as if escaping.

Wen Yan made a bewildered expression: "It's just similar talismans, why is Princess Jinghe so flustered!

It was as if Master Huo had given her the amulet he had prayed for by knocking on the mountain."

The speaker did not mean it.

The listener is interested.

After hearing this, the people around who were joining in the fun looked at each other in confusion, exchanging strange glances.

Wen Yan smiled, pulled Ning Tan away.

Wen Yan took Ning Tan to inspect the shop. When they arrived at Tianyi Cloth Shop, they unexpectedly met Qingchuan who had returned from a business trip to replenish his stock.
