Chapter 61: The old peacock spreads its tail?



Hua Rui pursed her lips and said, "The emperor brought back a dirty woman and said he wanted to bring her into the palace."

Yu Yiluo felt a chill in her heart.

[Could it be that the person the tyrant brought back was Yang Xin? ]

"I wonder what's going on," Concubine Shu put down her snack, "The Emperor has so many women in his harem, so what if there's one or two more?"

Concubine Li just smiled and looked at Hua Rui, "Did you see clearly what that person looks like?"

Hua Rui shook her head, "The Emperor had her taken to the tent, and I didn't see her clearly."

At this moment, the emperor's hearty laughter came from outside the tent. He raised his hand, opened the curtain of the tent, and strode in.

"Hahaha, Luo'er, guess how many prey father hunted."

Behind him followed several princes, Lord Su, and Prime Minister Li.

"Lord Su, Prime Minister, please tell me who has the most prey."

Lord Su and Prime Minister Li were very puzzled. They could have just said no outside, but had to come here to say it. They couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

"The tyrant came all the way here, didn't he want to show off to his mother? The old peacock knows how to spread his tail feathers, right?"

A frown crossed the emperor's forehead, and the princes behind him tried hard to suppress their laughter so as not to appear strange.

"Your Majesty, you have the most prey, followed by the Third Prince, and then the Crown Prince."

Prime Minister Li and Lord Su had just counted the prey and told the truth.

[How could a tyrant not have a lot of prey? He even hunted women. Who can compare to him?]

How did Luo'er know that she had brought someone back?

The emperor was surprised. He was thinking of giving Luo'er a surprise, but this little girl ended up plotting against him.

"Okay, rewards, all of them."

He ignored Yu Yiluo's sarcastic tone and looked at the prince, "Tell everyone to pack up and head back to the palace. It's too cold here at night to rest."

......

When the Fourth Prince heard that he had to return to the palace, he left Concubine Li's tent and walked quickly towards his own tent.

After taking a few steps, he was grabbed by Concubine Shu.

The Fourth Prince turned around and forced a smile, "What advice does Mother have?"

Concubine Shu released her grip on his clothes and asked, "I heard your father brought a woman back. Did you see her?"

Hearing this, the Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one wanted to torture him or ask him for the monthly silver, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to give it to him.

"I didn't see his face, and he looked dirty. I don't know what the emperor liked about him, and why he didn't let us see him any more."

Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes. It was obvious that this person was trying to get close to the emperor, otherwise who would go to the royal hunting ground for no reason.

"Mother, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go pack my things first."

The Fourth Prince wanted to run away after saying this, but Concubine Shu grabbed him again and held out a hand, "Silver."

What you fear will come true. The Fourth Prince immediately stopped laughing.

"Mother, I really have no money."

Concubine Shu frowned. "You have no women in your backyard, and the emperor has given you a lot of rewards, as well as your monthly salary. How dare you tell me that you have no money? If you were married, I would naturally not spend your money anymore, but you just don't want to get married."

The Fourth Prince felt as if every word pierced his heart, and his face was bitter.

"Mother, the Emperor said that the rewards he gives me will be halved, so..."

He pursed his lips and added softly, "Besides, mother, you have a lot of money."

Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "You don't understand how much money it costs to buy materials. I don't blame you. After all, you are too stupid to learn."

She originally wanted to pass on her family's mechanical skills to her son, but her son was too stupid to learn it at all. So she hoped that her son would give birth to a smarter grandson, but this brat was not up to the mark.

"No, why was your reward suddenly cut in half? Tell me, if I may, I can help you speak up."

The Fourth Prince's eyes lit up with joy, and he told the story of the gift with a look of anticipation on his face.

"Mother, you must help me and ask my father to revoke his order."

Concubine Shu stared at him coldly, "The Emperor is wise. Why should I beg him? You are so stingy with Luo'er. If I knew that your money was not spent properly, you can just wait for me to ask the Emperor to cut your monthly salary in half!"

After saying that, he turned away.

The Fourth Prince touched his nose, straightened his robes, and turned back to the tent.

But Yang Xin was not seen in the tent.

"Where is the girl beside me?"

He asked his follower anxiously.

He was the one who brought the person here. What should we do if something happens to him?

"Your Highness, this is what I discovered."

The Fourth Prince snatched it away, and on it was a letter left by Yang Xin.

She said she had something to do and left first so he didn't have to worry.

......

At this moment, Yang Xin was in a smaller tent. She was worried that the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince would recognize her and ruin her plans, so she deliberately smudged her face and took off her clothes and coat.

His hair was disheveled like a beggar.

Hearing the noise outside, she lifted the curtain and went out.

Seeing that the guards had packed up the tents and the things they brought, the prince and a few others walked over here.

Seeing her slightly stunned, he then smiled gently, "You are the one that the emperor brought back. The emperor ordered me to pack up and return to the palace. Now I have to pack up this tent."

He thought his father brought this man here because of his appearance, but it seems he was wrong. It is impossible to tell what this man looks like.

Yang Xin stared at the prince motionlessly. The prince was wearing a moon-white riding suit and looked at her with a humble smile. His voice, which made her feel like spring breeze, made her blush.

When she read in the book that the prince was her white moonlight, she thought it was an exaggeration, but now that she has seen him in person, it is indeed true.

His appearance is not as androgynous as the male protagonist's, but gives people the feeling that he is right in front of you, yet as untouchable as the bright moon in the sky.

Thinking she was afraid, the prince chuckled and said, "I'm just asking, don't be afraid."

Yang Xin came back to his senses, nodded and moved to the side.

The prince ordered his men to pack up everything and turned to tell the emperor that they could set off back to the palace.

Yu Yiluo glanced at Yang Xin before getting into the sedan chair, but the other person was so dirty that she didn't recognize him at all.

The Fourth Prince, who also didn't recognize Yang Xin, burst out laughing the moment he saw her.

He rode on his horse, side by side with the Third Prince. "Third Brother, why did Father take this beggar back with him? She's not even as good as the maid in my house!"

As she spoke, she waved to Yang Xin who was following behind her, "Little beggar, come over here. Let me take a good look at what's so special about you. That's why your father wants to take you back to the palace."

Yang Xin walked forward with his head down and followed the Fourth Prince without saying a word.

"Lift your head up, I'm not ugly."

Seeing that she didn't look up or speak, the Fourth Prince continued, "Are you mute?"

Yang Xin, whose back teeth were almost broken, raised his face and shook his head.

How could she not know that the Fourth Prince usually deserves a beating?

"Hahaha, Third Brother, look at her..."

The Fourth Prince paused as he spoke, "Why do I feel like you look familiar?"
