Chapter 91 Cooperation reached with Song Yirou's brother
As Qin Yuqing finished speaking, everyone, whether they were the people in Luocheng or those heading to Luocheng, stopped and looked in the direction Qin Yuqing was pointing.
The vendor who lost the rice was just about to curse his bad luck when the bag of rice suddenly broke and all the rice fell out.
Perhaps because the surroundings became quiet too quickly, the vendor looked up and saw everyone looking at him strangely.
The peddler's eyes fell on the city gate and he saw several people standing there. He recognized three of them. The one in the middle was the crown prince, the one looking at him with anger was General Song, and the one closest to him was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The vendor then looked at the woman who was intimately holding the sleeve of the prince. This woman looked very similar to the prince. In addition, there were recent rumors that the Sixth Princess went to the south to resolve the natural disaster, so it was time for her to appear in Los Angeles.
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on the peddler's forehead. He certainly knew the current disaster situation in Cangzhou and Lingjun, so he packed the moldy rice in the bag.
But who would have thought that the bag, which had always been sturdy, would suddenly break.
The prince's eyes dimmed instantly. He had heard about the situation in Cangzhou and Lingjun on the way here, and then he looked at the patchwork clothes brought by Qin Yuqing.
Even though the tailor was very careful and tried to choose newer fabrics, the worn look of the patchwork quilt could not be concealed.
If General Song can't react at this moment, he might as well not be a general.
"Capture them and bring them here." General Song winked at his men. "Pack all the rice! Food is precious. Don't waste a single drop."
Looking at the hawker being escorted over, General Song was about to take the initiative when he heard Qin Yuqing speak again.
"Brother Prince, look, there is some fresh meat on the ground over there. I remember that meat is more expensive than rice, right?" Qin Yuqing pointed to the place not far away where General Song had been sitting and eating meat and drinking wine not long ago. Although it was a rhetorical question, there was a coldness in his words.
"The southern cities are not far apart. Cangzhou, Lingjun, and Yanyun City can only eat tree bark, while General Song in Luo City can eat large amounts of meat and even waste rice."
"Could it be that Sixth Sister is mistaken? Didn't Luocheng say there has been a food shortage in recent years?"
After Qin Yuqing finished speaking, General Song cursed inwardly and knelt down.
He knew that the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that this bitch would keep holding on to this point.
Originally, when he saw that the Crown Prince had no intention of looking for the Sixth Princess when he arrived in Luo City, he assumed that the Crown Prince and the Sixth Princess were not on good terms. But now it seems that they are not on good terms at all.
However, General Song was not completely unprepared. He spoke with sincerity in his eyes.
"I've heard about the disaster in Cangzhou and Lingjun. This is the game my brothers and I hunted in the mountains. We're almost there by now."
Qin Yuqing raised his eyebrows in surprise. General Song would not lie in front of the prince. Even if it was the second prince of their Song family, they would not fall out at this moment.
Hearing this, Lu Jingchuan shook his head at Lu Jiu, and Lu Jiu put the things he had just taken out back down.
He and Qin Yuqing had the same judgment on General Song's words, that now was not the time to use this item.
"I wronged General Song." Qin Yuqing blocked General Song's words in his throat before he could speak.
Qin Yuqing then looked at the Crown Prince and said, "Brother Crown Prince, my Sixth Sister has been exhausted from the long journey here and hasn't had a good rest yet. Could you please let her go into the city and rest first?"
"Look at my good memory. Seeing that Sixth Sister is happy, I will host you all today and invite you all to have a good gathering tonight." As he said this, the prince looked at Lu Jingchuan who was standing behind Qin Yuqing with a dark face.
He lowered his voice, looked at Lu Jingchuan with a half-smile, and asked, "How come I didn't know that General Lu could leave the capital?"
Except for the tenderness in Lu Jingchuan's eyes when he looked at Qin Yuqing, he still looked cold and aloof towards other people.
"Your Majesty has granted special permission." He took out a particularly small imperial edict and handed it to Qin Youqian.
Qin Youqian opened it and saw the three extremely short words on it. His face darkened again.
I agree.
There was no way Qin Youqian didn't recognize the emperor's handwriting. He looked at Lu Jingchuan, whose eyes were glued to Qin Yuqing, and knew that this boy's wolfish ambition was obvious!
An unknown anger surged in Qin Youqian's heart, and he was particularly unhappy at this moment.
"In that case, didn't Miss Song keep saying on the way here that she wanted to reminisce with Sixth Sister?" Qin Youqian suddenly looked at Song Yiru who was standing behind him.
Song Yirou stood there, with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Me?"
"Why not let the two sisters talk privately." Qin Youqian walked forward, put his hand on Lu Jingchuan's shoulder, pulled him over, then looked at the person standing behind him, his gaze pausing for a moment on Park Qinghe's face.
"Let's go. Since we all followed Sixth Sister, let's go into the city together."
So, Lu Jingchuan was pulled away by the prince with a reluctant look on his face. He was still looking at him with resentment, but the prince held his head and forced him to turn back.
Qin Yuqing gave Lu Jingchuan a helpless look, then looked at Song Yiru, who was standing aside with an innocent look in her eyes, and sighed.
"Chat?"
Song Yirou held Qin Yuqing's arm intimately and said with a smile: "It's time to have a good chat. I have brought enough sincerity this time."
Qin Yuqing raised her eyebrows, her eyes fixed on Song Yiru's fair and tender face. Perhaps because she had experienced too many embarrassing things recently, she was wary of everyone.
After confirming that there were no strange black lines on Song Yiru's face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that for a guy like Yu Bingyan, how could Song Yiru fall in love with him unless she was controlled by this strange black line.
Song Yiru brought Qin Yuqing to a restaurant on a high building and chose a seat by the window. She looked at the people coming and going in Luocheng and said meaningfully.
"Your Highness, Sixth Princess, Yirou has something unclear. Is this southern part not suitable for climbing at the moment?"
Qin Yuqing took a sip of tea, picked up a green tea-colored pastry and took a bite. Listening to Song Yiru's question, she pointed to the pastries on the table and said.
"You probably won't be able to eat this kind of cake in the capital." Qin Yuqing picked up a small piece and handed it to Song Yirou, saying, "Try it and see how it differs from the ones in the capital.
Seeing Qin Yuqing say this, Song Yirou carefully looked at the pastries in her hand. Neither the fineness nor the color were as good as those in the capital.
Seeing Song Yiru's puzzled look, Qin Yuqing chuckled. Her eyes fell on the scenery outside the window. Not far away was a large mountain range.
However, the mountains in Los Angeles are unique. They are small hills, and occasionally you can see silvery streams flowing down the mountains.
It is not as tall as Yanyun City, nor as majestic and awe-inspiring as Cangzhou and Lingjun.
"I'm sorry, Yirou is so ignorant and incapable of grasping the deeper meaning of the Sixth Princess' words."
Qin Yuqing stood up and walked to Song Yirou's side. She pointed to the nearby peaks with her slender fingers, recalling the floods in Lingjun and Cangzhou. She said, "There are many kinds of mountains in the south, and the mountains in Luocheng are the least offensive."
Song Yirou looked thoughtfully at the mountain Qin Yuqing pointed to, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. She seemed to understand the implication of Qin Yuqing's words.
"The mountains in Lingjun and Cangzhou are very dangerous. Even with auxiliary mountaineering equipment, it still takes a lot of effort to climb them." Qin Yuqing recalled everything he encountered on the reservoir dam on his way to higher places.
"But fortunately, I have companions who can accompany me and help me climb the mountain together."
On the way here, Song Yiru learned about what Qin Yuqing had experienced. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she knew that he had a high fever, was almost washed away by the flood, and was repeatedly assassinated. Just thinking about it made her feel that it was extremely dangerous.
"It's been just a few days since we last met, but the person who went hiking with the princess was something I had never imagined." Song Yirou was surprised the moment she saw Park Qinghe. Although she did not participate in what happened in the Park family, she had heard about it a long time ago.
Qin Yuqing was not surprised that Song Yiru mentioned Pu Qinghe, but she did not expect that after the scar on Pu Qinghe's face fell off last time, for some reason he did not choose to stick it back on.
I guess the fourth princess Qin Qinqin said something to him in private.
"We are all heading in the same direction. Since we all want to see the bigger picture, we must choose what we like." Qin Yuqing did not hide it at all. Anyway, Park Qinghe's affairs would definitely be exposed to the public.
In addition, Qin Yuqing had told his stepfather about Park Qinghe a long time ago, but he only got a few scoldings and a warning.
Don't get too involved, the Park family is not that simple.
Song Yiru nodded. The reason she shamelessly went to the south this time, besides some matters concerning the Song family, was that she had figured it out.
"Sixth Princess, please enlighten me. What makes the mountains in Yanyun City so different? How do I climb them?"
"The mountains of Yanyun City can only be climbed by people with destiny." Qin Yuqing smiled mysteriously. She patted the back of Song Yiru's hand meaningfully, picked up a new cup of tea, and asked with a smile.
"Every mountain in the south has already reached the summit except for Luocheng. So, Miss Prime Minister's Mansion, do you have a suitable supplier this time?"
Song Yiru's eyes were as gentle as water, yet extremely firm. Her gaze shifted from the distant mountains to the tea in Qin Yuqing's hand. She did not take it immediately, but asked.
"If the supplier splits the goods, I wonder if the Sixth Princess would still consider it?"
Song Yiru's words indirectly admitted that the Song family is now divided.
It is very likely that one faction is mainly composed of the older generation of the Song family, who are on the side of the second prince, while the other faction is mainly composed of the younger generation, led by Song Yiru. As for who is on which side, Qin Yuqing could not come to a conclusion for the time being.
"From the beginning to the end, all I wanted was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss Song Yirou. Anyone else is disgusting."
Song Yirou raised her eyebrows, took the tea that Qin Yuqing handed over again, drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile.
"Coincidentally, Yirou also feels that the other suppliers are terrible, old-fashioned and boring."
"In that case, I wonder what Miss Song's purpose is in going to the southern part this time?" Song Yiru's attitude was clear, and Qin Yuqing was too lazy to talk about these beating around the bush and asked directly.
"Brother, we should also know some etiquette. We should pay our respects to the Sixth Princess first." Song Yiru turned and looked at the corner, with a hint of coquettishness in her gentle voice.
elder brother?
Qin Yuqing didn't remember that in the original book, Song Yirou had an older brother. Because the Song family had been without a male heir for so many years, they doted on Song Yaozu after he was born.
"I am Song Mingli, the adopted son of the Song family, and I am honored to meet Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess."
