The Liu family enters Beijing
Subtle. Liu Zaixi didn't quite understand this word before. What exactly does it take to achieve such a level of subtlety? Now Liu Zaixi understands this torturous state.
The situation had just been adjusted, but within three days, Liu Zai Xi wanted to escape again, but Qiu Wuji did not give Liu Zai Xi this opportunity, so he had no choice but to get along with him.
Not feeling embarrassed by others' embarrassment is also a skill. Liu Zaixi really didn't know where Qiu Wuji found so many opportunities to be alone with her. For example, now, Liu Zaixi was bored helping Qiu Wuji grind ink, and Qiu Wuji didn't know where he came up with a nonsensical excuse. He said that the maids were all busy and no one would grind ink for him. This was indeed true. There was no maid to be seen since morning. Liu Zaixi was about to ask why Han Yi was not called over, but Qiu Wuji interrupted her: "Han Yi is a rough man."
The progress of the chopped pepper fish head was exceptionally fast, so they took half a day off to rest for tomorrow's opening. Qiu Wuji took advantage of the opportunity and came to this place. For Qiu Wuji, as long as Liu Zaixi was by his side, even doing nothing was a kind of enjoyment.
Although Liu Zai Xi felt it would be better to sleep.
In fact, Liu Zai Xi was about to fall asleep. At this moment, he was just skimming the surface of the water. The inkstone was right in front of him, and Liu Zai Xi was about to kiss it.
His arm lost strength and he almost hit it on the inkstone. Fortunately, Qiu Wuji was quick-witted and caught Liu Zaixi's face, but the back of his hand was stained with ink. Qiu Wuji was naughty and rubbed Liu Zaixi's cheek with the back of his hand. A little black stuck on Liu Zaixi's face. Thinking that Qiu Wuji was taking advantage of him again, Liu Zaixi subconsciously rubbed his face. It would have been fine if he hadn't rubbed it, but the ink spot was smudged and became a calico cat. This childish behavior was exactly the same as Liu Zaixi's that night. It can only be said that they were both childish in the same way.
"Are you free?" Liu Zai Xi put on a fake smile and resisted the urge to punch Qiu Wuji.
Facing Liu Zaixi's heavy punch, Qiu Wuji responded with a sincere smile.
People in love look awfully stupid.
So the day passed in mediocrity, and the dull days did not continue.
At night, several horse-drawn carriages entered the city in a low-key manner. Besides people, the carriages were filled with large and small bags. It seemed that they had just arrived in the capital and planned to settle down.
The people who got on the carriage were none other than the Liu family.
Liu Xu, the eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Yeming.
The eldest daughter of the Liu family is Liu Shuang, and the second daughter of the Liu family is Liu Paner.
There is also the mistress of the house, Li Yanping.
The situation is coming with great force, and the capital is destined to no longer be as peaceful as it seems.
Taking advantage of the night, the Liu family settled down. The two sisters, who had always been spoiled and self-righteous, immediately began to feel dissatisfied.
"Why do we have to rush into the city at night? We're sneaking around, lowering my status." Liu Pan'er was very dissatisfied. After running around all day, they all just wanted to have a good rest. Liu Xu, as the backbone, simply comforted them: "Alright, these are all the orders of that master. Just do as you are told. You will have a good life in the future."
Hearing this, Liu Pan'er reluctantly stopped complaining, but she couldn't stop herself from saying, "Why on earth did that gentleman find us? In my opinion, he might just be a charlatan. Dad, you believe this nonsense too."
"Do you know who that is?" Liu Xu was already annoyed after sitting in the carriage for a few days, and now Liu Pan'er was denying his efforts.
"Are you saying that I'm just a charlatan?" Jiang Zhiyi stepped over the threshold and walked into the yard.
Liu Xu took the lead and knelt down: "Greetings, Her Majesty Huifei."
The two sisters had been curious about the identity of this adult these days. Now that they knew, they immediately dared not speak.
Jiang Zhiyi took off his hat, revealing a face that looked somewhat similar to Shen Mingshu.
No matter how tired Liu Xu was, he put it away and acted as respectfully as a pug, wagging his tail and begging for mercy at Jiang Zhiyi.
Jiang Zhiyi ignored Liu Xu and walked towards the two sisters of the Liu family. He provoked Liu Paner's frightened face and said, "Do you know Liu Zaixi?"
This name was almost forgotten by the Liu family. After Jiang Zhiyi reminded her of this, Liu Pan'er widened her eyes. How could Concubine Hui know Liu Zai Xi?
Seeing the doubt on Liu Pan'er's face, Jiang Zhiyi asked another question: "Prince Heng Qiu Wuji knows, right?"
Liu Pan'er and Liu Shuang nodded timidly. Qiu Wuji's legend was everywhere.
"Liu Zaixi is now the Princess of Heng."
"What!" Except for Liu Xu and Liu Yeming who already knew the truth, the other three were extremely surprised.
Especially the most unstable Liu Pan'er, completely ignoring the fact that Jiang Zhiyi was still in front of her, she cursed: "That bitch left so decisively in the beginning, and now she has come to the capital to seduce Prince Heng!"
Jiang Zhiyi actually still admires Liu Zaixi very much. She is smart, rational, and knows when to advance and retreat. In this era when the world is surrounded by men, she rationally chooses to be independent. For her and Liu Zaixi, men are just tools that can be used.
But Liu Zai Xi will not stand on her side, so she can only die.
"You two idiots don't even have half the brains of Liu Zaixi." Jiang Zhiyi's words shocked Liu Pan'er, frightened her so much that she dared not speak. Liu Shuang was more thoughtful than Liu Pan'er: "Your Majesty is right."
Jiang Zhiyi continued, "I'm looking for you because you can be of use to me."
"What I want you to do is to help me trip up King Heng and everyone else who dares to stand in my way. You will get a lot of benefits afterwards."
Liu Xu: "Your Majesty, are you going to become the Queen of Jiaqing?"
Jiang Zhiyi threw off his cloak and laughed: "Hahahahahahaha~"
Her face flushed with laughter, and Jiang Zhiyi wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her red eyes.
"Wrong! I want to be the Emperor of Jiaqing!"
When everyone heard Jiang Zhiyi's true purpose, they were stunned. A woman becoming an emperor was something that people in this era dared not even think about. They didn't even dare to have the slightest thought about it. Yet, Jiang Zhiyi actually said directly that she wanted to become the emperor.
"Then...then today's..." Liu Yeming stuttered.
"Of course...kill him." Jiang Zhiyi's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Jiang Zhiyi pointed at Liu Yeming and said, "Your father is too old and useless. Besides, I look down on a man who relies on women to climb up. I will arrange for you to enter the palace as an official. All you have to do is keep climbing up and help me win the throne at all costs."
Liu Yeming's hidden ambition was aroused at this time, he wanted to become the best.
Liu Shuang took the initiative to step forward: "My Lady, are we two any use to you?"
Jiang Zhiyi said without even looking at him: "Go and trip up Qiu Wuji and Liu Zaixi. If he can climb high enough, I will naturally arrange for you two."
"yes."
Jiang Zhiyi put on her hat and prepared to leave. She couldn't stay out of the palace for too long.
"By the way, our Princess Heng's shop is opening tomorrow. It's located on the most prosperous street in the capital."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
After Jiang Zhiyi left, the Liu family started talking about it, all of them were shocked and jealous of Liu Zaixi.
"How did that bitch climb to the position of Princess Heng?" Liu Pan'er almost bit her teeth off.
"When Liu Zai Xi left, he didn't take a single cent with him from the Liu Mansion. How could he open a shop on the most prosperous street? You know, land is very expensive in the capital." Liu Shuang asked.
Liu Xu: "None of this matters anymore. What has happened has already happened. What we should do now is to help Concubine Hui with all our strength, so that our whole family can prosper."
Li Yanping immediately flattered and fawned: "Yes, yes, that's right, Master."
It hasn't even started yet, but I'm already dreaming of a long and glorious future.
On the second day, Lame Haochi opened again. With the popularity accumulated from previous times and the name of Princess Heng, the store didn't need any advertising at all. As long as the door was open, tables were filled with customers.
The chopped pepper fish head was highly praised, and the kitchen was bustling with activity as dish after dish was served. Xiao Zhu had originally considered Liu Zaixi's status as the princess and had not allowed her to help, but had just sat and drank tea. Unfortunately, Liu Zaixi couldn't help herself and finally, seeing how busy she was, she offered to help. Xiao Zhu no longer had time to care about Liu Zaixi and just let her go.
After most of the diners had settled in, they could finally take turns to rest. Xiao Zhu sat next to Liu Zaixi and asked, "Will the prince come today?"
Liu Zaixi cracked some melon seeds and said, "Why bother with him? He should be very busy. Besides, my shop is not important to him. Even if he comes, he won't be able to help much. I can't let a high-class beauty come down to clean up the mess."
"hey-hey."
Liu Zaixi curled his lips to one side: "What are you laughing at?"
As the leader of the CP, Xiaozhu looks for candy everywhere for himself.
"Whenever the prince is mentioned, the princess becomes more talkative."
He rolled his eyes naturally, without any derogatory meaning, simply because he had nothing to say.
As they were chatting, Xiaojia's voice came from the door: "Dear guests!"
Liu Zaixi put down the melon seeds and said, "Someone's coming. Let's go and greet the guests."
Liu Zaixi's expression changed in an instant: "Welcome, two distinguished guests. However, there are currently no seats available. You can take a number and wait."
The people who came were none other than Liu Shuang and Liu Pan'er. That's right, they came to cause trouble.
When I first came to Beijing, I always went to visit a few "old friends".
"Liu Zai Xi, long time no see." Liu Pan'er spoke first.
"Huh?" Liu Zaixi was completely bewildered. Who was this person? Had she seen him before? Could he be a returning customer? Even returning customers wouldn't dare call her by her full name.
Liu Zai Xi had only met the two of them once, so it was normal that he didn't remember them, but Xiao Zhu had seen these two scary faces for more than ten years and recognized them at a glance.
Hiding behind Liu Zaixi, still frightened, he timidly said, "Princess, these are the eldest and second young ladies."
After Xiaozhu's reminder, Liu Zaixi recalled that no wonder the two looked familiar. Huaizhou was not close to the capital, and they couldn't have come all the way here just for him.
"Why are you two here?"
"We should be the ones asking you this. When you left the Liu Mansion, you were penniless. Where did you get the money to open a store like this?" Liu Shuang said sarcastically.
The store was very busy and Liu Zaixi had no time to waste with these people. No matter what their purpose was in coming to the capital, it would not be good for her.
