Chapter 124 Yu Youning and Wen Xiangli were arrested together!
With the emperor's permission, Yu Youning stopped paying attention to the ceremony and just focused on eating.
Chu Huaixu, who was sitting next to her, would pick up food for her from time to time.
Wen Xiangli was sitting diagonally opposite the two of them. Seeing this, his brows were tightly furrowed.
He was about to ask again when his shoulders felt heavy.
Turning around, he saw the gaze of the Prime Minister above.
Wen Shoufu had a smile on his face and his eyes were very peaceful. His voice was not loud when he spoke, but it carried an unquestionable tone.
"To be polite to each other, do not talk while eating and do not speak while sleeping."
Wen Xiangli hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes!"
Prime Minister Wen then laughed and said, "Eat quickly!"
"yes!"
Wen Xiangli agreed again, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating bite by bite.
He ate in a very polite and courteous manner, and every move he made seemed to be measured with a ruler.
It doesn't look good, but rather a bit dull.
Seeing him like this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Prime Minister Wen's eyes.
When the child first came to him, he was also lively and cute.
But how come I'm getting older and older over the years?
When the two of them sat together, Wen Xiangli looked like a little old man.
It's not that he hasn't thought about trying to change Wen Xiangli's temper, but every time he made the request, Wen Xiangli did it.
Not only has there been no improvement, it now looks like it's even worse than before!
Prime Minister Wen sighed deeply in his heart and became more and more worried.
But as soon as he looked up, he saw Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu eating and talking together.
It has only been a few months since he left the capital, how come the prince has changed so much?
The prince used to strictly observe etiquette and would never be so casual at a banquet, nor would he eat while talking, and he would never sit with a little girl.
Although he had never seen this girl before, he knew her identity.
The true daughter of destiny and the prince's savior.
While still praying, he sat on top of the Teng Snake with the prince.
This time, thanks to her presence, we were able to win the competition without any casualties.
She was able to change the prince, change Huo Qingchen, and even Zhai Heming had a big change under her influence.
If Xiangli were to interact with her more often, would there be some changes?
Although he wasn't sure if it would work, he still wanted to give it a try as long as there was a slight possibility.
"Your Majesty! I have a favor to ask."
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Wen with great interest and said, "My dear minister, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
"I would like Xiangli to stay with the Crown Prince for a while."
Prime Minister Wen originally wanted to let Wen Xiangli stay with Yu Youning for a while.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this statement was not right.
Even if they are still young, they cannot be so unconcerned.
As far as he knew, the prince would go to see Yu Youning every day.
Letting Wen Xiangli follow the prince is equivalent to having him follow Yu Youning.
"oh?"
The emperor was a little surprised.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he agreed.
"Since my dear minister has said so, then I will grant your permission."
Wen Xiangli was mature beyond his years. He had read a lot of books at a young age and followed Prime Minister Wen to handle some matters.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wen Xiangli will definitely become the next prime minister if he grows up.
When the prince ascended the throne, he would definitely assist him.
It would be good to stay with the prince for a while now.
Being young has its advantages.
Spend more time together and develop some youthful friendships that can last a lifetime!
Chu Huaixu heard the conversation between the emperor and Prime Minister Wen. He looked up at Prime Minister Wen Li and saw that Prime Minister Wen had lowered his brows and eyes, eating seriously, as if he had not heard a word that had just been said.
This was the first time Chu Huaixu met such a strange person.
After the meal, the emperor asked Chu Huaixu, Yu Youning and other children to leave.
Wen Xiangli naturally followed behind Chu Huaixu.
After they had all left, the emperor looked at Prime Minister Wen with a smile, "Why did you suddenly ask Xiang Li to accompany the Crown Prince?"
Prime Minister Wen smiled bitterly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from the emperor. The emperor has also seen Xiangli, the child. Although he is still young, he looks like an old man.
I wanted to change his temper, but I tried several times in vain.
I have noticed that the Crown Prince has changed a lot from before, and it must be because of that little girl, so I thought of letting Xiangli stay with the Crown Prince so that he can get some of his help.
I just hope he can be a normal child."
Upon hearing this, the emperor sighed deeply, "As the saying goes, the love of parents is truly compassionate. My dear minister, you have put a lot of thought into this ceremony. My dear minister, just rest assured. This little girl, Youning, is different from other children. The longer you spend with her, the more she will become like a child."
...
Yu Youning was well fed and in a good mood.
Even though there was another person behind her, who was a bit stubborn, it didn't affect her mood at all.
"Prince, there's nothing fun to do in the palace. Let's go out and play!"
Chu Huaixu agreed without any hesitation, "Okay!"
The four of them got on the prince's carriage and soon left the imperial city.
The capital city is always bustling with countless new and interesting things every day.
Especially the West Market, which is extremely lively.
Although the West Market is not as prosperous as the East Market, it has people coming from foreign countries. They know some strange and peculiar things that always make people cheer.
When Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen came here, they were like fish entering the sea, free and at ease.
Chu Huaixu didn't dare to be distracted at all. He kept his eyes fixed on Yu Youning and didn't dare to take a step back, for fear that the person would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Wen Xiangli followed Chu Huaixu, his brows furrowed more and more.
He really didn't understand why his father wanted him to stay with the prince.
The prince is the crown prince, but instead of studying hard and learning how to govern the country, he follows a little girl to the West Market to play?
Wen Xiangli was just thinking about this when he saw a group of people rushing towards him.
These people came suddenly, and the four of them were completely unprepared and were about to be squeezed away.
The prince is the heir to the throne, and nothing must happen to him. Wen Xiangli subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Chu Huaixu.
But when he finally caught him, he found out that it was Yu Youning.
Wen Xiangli was shocked and hurried to see where the prince was, but all he saw were buttocks and legs.
As for the prince, he had long been pushed to who knows where by these people.
Wen Xiangli was anxious, but he could only hold on to Yu Youning.
Yu Youning is the girl of destiny. Since this concerns the life of the prince, nothing can happen to her!
Yu Youning was grabbed by the collar by Wen Xiangli, and he felt difficulty breathing and even began to roll his eyes.
Just as she was about to grab Wen Xiangli's hand and throw him away, she was suddenly hit hard on the back of the neck.
Yu Youning rolled his eyes and fainted.
Wen Xiangli was shocked when he saw this. Just as he was about to scream, he felt a pain in his neck and fainted.
The two people who fainted were quickly knocked into sacks, carried on someone's shoulders, and disappeared into the crowd.
Yu Youning was kicked awake.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw people all around her.
There are men and women, of different ages and appearances, and even their clothes are very different.
As she was watching, she was kicked again.
Yu Youning widened her eyes and looked at Wen Xiangli who raised his foot and was about to kick her, "Why did you kick me?"
Wen Xiangli was a little embarrassed, "I didn't know you were awake, I just wanted to wake you up."
"Then why don't you just call my name?"
Wen Xiangli felt even more embarrassed, "I called out to you before, but you didn't wake up, so I thought that if I kicked you, you might wake up faster.
We were captured by bad guys, and everyone here was captured. Don't be afraid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely send someone to rescue us!"
"Why are you arresting us?" Yu Youning looked puzzled.
Without waiting for Wen Xiangli to answer, Yu Youning remembered the story Yu Tingwan had told her before.
The little kids who run around will be caught by the beggars and sold to faraway places, never to see their families again.
"They are going to sell us out!" Yu Youning stated his conclusion.
Wen Xiangli looked around and slowly shook his head, "I don't think so."
"What's not like?"
"It doesn't look like they're selling us out." Wen Xiangli's expression was serious, but his tone was unhurried as he slowly expressed his speculation. "Look at this room. There are men and women, with very different looks, ages, and clothing. If they were beggars or kidnappers, they would basically only target women and girls. Why did they capture so many men?"
These people had obviously been captured a long time ago. They all looked dazed and haggard.
When Yu Youning was talking to Wen Xiangli, no one looked at them.
"What you said seems to make sense." Yu Youning nodded in agreement. "Then tell me, why did they arrest so many people?"
"I don't know." Wen Xiangli shook his head. "But don't be afraid. The prince will definitely send someone to rescue you. My father will also send people to look for me when he knows I'm missing."
"I'm not scared!" Yu Youning said in a soft and cheerful voice, "I'm just curious!"
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside and someone talking.
Yu Youning winked at Wen Xiangli and said, "Don't talk for a while!"
Wen Xiangli was about to ask why when the door was pushed open from the outside.
Two men walked in from the door.
Both of them were big and strong, with a murderous look between their brows.
"Hey! These two little guys are awake!"
"These two are really good-looking, much better than all the ugly ones in this room!"
"Or maybe the boss has taken a fancy to them! He can't wait for us to bring them over! Stop talking nonsense and take them away quickly. If we make the young master wait too long, we will all be in trouble!"
