Zong Zhengchen was determined to burn the stick. He slammed the table with great force, causing all the servants to kneel on the ground in fear.

Qin Ye licked the pastry crumbs on his fingers slowly and leisurely pulled out the imperial stick.

“…”

Zong Zhengchen sat back in silence, looked at the servants beside him, and cursed:

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and build the wall!"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The group of people were so scared that they quickly built a wall and didn't dare to say a word.

My Lord, you can’t bully the princess, but you scold us who are young, helpless, ignorant, pitiful, and lowly. Isn’t that a bit too much...

A quarter of an hour later.

Zong Zhengchen left in a depressed mood. As soon as he left, Yue'er relaxed a little and happily pulled the princess aside to talk.

Talking about this and that, somehow I thought of the cold wind.

The delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted:

"Princess, you don't know how outrageous the secret guard beside the prince is! He said that the conflict between you and the prince was all your fault, and he wanted you to apologize. I couldn't control myself and scolded him."

Secret guard?

Cold wind?

Qin Ye immediately became interested, "Oh? There is such a thing? Then what did he say, and what did you curse at?"

"I called him pickled pepper chicken feet."

"I didn't realize you were so hot-tempered."

"It's all thanks to the princess' good teaching, hehe."

.

At night, Zong Zhengchen wanted to come over to sleep, but was turned away.

I wanted to steal the stick, but I didn't know where it was.

It's really annoying.

The next day.

morning.

Qin Ye was eating breakfast when he heard the boy's loud voice from a distance:

"Uncle, uncle, aunt~~~"

The voice arrives before the person arrives.

Ling Qianyi ran in with a pair of swift legs, rushed to the table, and ate five buns, three cakes, half a bowl of spicy cabbage and two bowls of porridge in one breath.

Qin Ye glared at him unhappily and jokingly said, "Are you starving so early in the morning?"

"Oh, aunt, don't say that! My father asked me to go out to do business in other places for half a month. I finally came back and the first thing I did was to play with you. Aren't you touched?"

Ling Qianyi said as he picked up another bun.

"You're going to do business? Does the Dingguo Marquisate still need money?"

"This is not a mountain of gold and silver, and I will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of my life. But I really can't find a job, so my father gave me one million taels of silver to train me."

One million taels is equivalent to one hundred million in modern times.

A wealthy family!

"So how much do you earn now?"

"To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I only have over 100,000 taels left..."

“…”

"But that's not the point. As soon as I came back, I heard that uncle the Crown Prince was going to choose a concubine. Let's go and join in the fun." The young man poked Qin Ye with his elbow and pointed his chin outside, looking playful.

Qin Ye was puzzled: "What's so exciting about the selection of concubines?"

"As the old saying goes, three women make a play, how can there be no excitement? Oh, you won't understand even if I tell you, you have to see it to understand, come on, come on, follow me!"

Ling Qianyi picked up a bowl of spicy cabbage and ate it while walking out with Qin Ye.

Qin Ye had nothing to do at the moment, so he just followed them.

Got on the carriage.

“Hmm!”

The carriage started suddenly, and Ling Qianyi, who had not yet sat firmly, accidentally fell on it, and a bowl of spicy cabbage spilled on Qin Ye's skirt.

"Aunt, I didn't mean it!"

Ling Qianyi hurriedly tried to grab it with his hands, but his hands were stained with oil, which he wiped onto her clothes, making them even dirtier.

Qin Ye frowned.

A hint of success flashed across the boy's eyes, and he said hurriedly:

"Driver, go to Minghaoxuan first and change into clean clothes before we go out to play!"

Qin Ye looked at the stain on the hem of her skirt, and thought about the fact that the young man came running over early in the morning, calling her "Auntie" all the time. He was so well-behaved, abnormally so.

Last time, when Ling Qianyi was so well behaved, he still tricked her into going to the study to steal paintings, but ended up finding a small whip and handcuffs... and tricked her so badly that there was nothing left.

this time……

Qin Ye suddenly looked up and said:

"No need to change, just go like this."

"Huh??"

If his aunt didn't change her clothes, how could he complete the task assigned by his uncle...
