Chapter 229 How about keeping you as a concubine?
When Shen Yunyue came over, she happened to meet the Duke of Rui. She touched the whip in her hand and looked coldly at the disgusting people in front of her.
"Good dogs don't block the road. You are not welcome here."
Prince Rui touched his chin and said, "Minister Shen's daughter is really extraordinary. With such beauty and appearance, wouldn't it be a pity to be with that useless man Fu Xuanheng?"
"How about this, Prince, do you want me to love you and keep you as my concubine?"
Shen Yunyue couldn't help but vomit. She felt so nauseous that she wanted to vomit out everything she had eaten yesterday.
Fu Xuanheng jumped out of the pavilion with a single step.
The soft sword in his hand stabbed at Prince Rui.
"Fu Xuanqing, you are an inhuman beast. You are seeking death."
How could Fu Xuanheng allow him to insult Shen Yunyue?
When Shen Yunyue vomited, a cold look flashed in her eyes.
There was a handful of colorless and odorless powder in his hand. "My Lord, I think you are too dirty." After saying that, his face turned cold and he sprinkled the powder over.
Guards had already come to greet Fu Xuanheng.
Prince Rui just thought that Shen Yunyue was fanning herself.
He snorted coldly, "Do you still think you are the daughter of the Prime Minister? You should know that the He family rushed to your door."
"The He family is a slut. You are only fit to fool around with the women of the He family."
"I despise you for being dirty and disgusting."
Old man He Er, who was walking over, felt his crown twitching.
His He family was actually eager to send a woman to Prince Rui?
Mr. He Er's old face was full of colors, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had licked a hard stone in a toilet.
He took two steps back and shifted his gaze to Prince Li's face.
Prince Li noticed the look in Mr. He Er's eyes, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
With a smile on his lips, he thought to himself that the old man from the He family must have some connections.
Even if it's just knowing a few people's weaknesses, it's fine.
Catch some people's handles, then give them small favors and paint a big picture. At the appropriate time, reveal some things and give them a warning. How could Prince Li be willing to follow his brother?
The emperor now wants to find a successor as soon as possible to abdicate and devote himself to refining elixirs and becoming an immortal.
He also has to be prepared.
Prince Li deliberately lagged behind, and two guards beside him flew towards the pavilion at his instruction.
Prince Li turned to the embarrassed Mr. He Er and nodded with a smile.
He moved his lips silently, "Old man. Let's go back first, so as not to hurt you by mistake."
He Er, the old man, had not expected Prince Li to be so kind, and his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened. He raised his chin towards Prince Rui, but Prince Li waved his hand away.
Pointing to himself, "I am everything."
Old Master He Er saluted, turned around and staggered away.
He once held a high position and was not a man without temper.
For the sake of the He family's descendants, the kneecaps have become soft cotton.
The world only knows how to laugh at him, but who understands the pain in his heart. Mr. He Er cried out in his heart:
Why? He worked so hard to take care of his family, and yet he still had to be trampled on and rubbed.
Uncle Yun Jiu sat on the pavilion alone, holding a crossbow in his hand.
Anyone who comes over will be killed without any hesitation.
Uncle Yun Ba still had his back to the crowd.
Rong Ting sat opposite Uncle Yun, and the two seemed unaffected by the turmoil outside.
Rong Ting's hands were shaking as he picked up the teacup. Who knew the mentality of going against the two princes? If his father were here, he would have whipped him to death with the whip in the ancestral hall.
"Xuan Heng and Shen Yunyue won't suffer any loss, right?"
Rong Ting held the cup tightly in his left hand to give his trembling right hand a rest.
Uncle Yun picked up a piece of mango with a bamboo stick and savored it carefully. After a long while, he whispered:
"Someone is going to be unlucky today, but it's not Yunyue and the others."
Li Weiyang had changed into women's clothing, a red double-breasted jacket and a large horse-faced skirt of the same color with scattered flowers.
I saw several people here fighting again.
He rushed over with his sword in hand. "Fu family, you are too shameless. You only pick on the weak, don't you?"
Li Weiyang raised her sword and stabbed Prince Rui.
Prince Rui frowned and angrily shouted in frustration:
“Li Weiyang. Don’t think that I will give in to you just for your grandfather’s sake.”
“Bah! Do I need you to give way?” Li Weiyang held up her horse-faced skirt with one hand and her sword with the other, cursing, “With your despicable behavior, you are really bringing shame to your royal family.”
"You, are looking for death..."
A murderous look flashed across Prince Rui’s face.
Prince Li saw this and thought it was not good. He quickly approached Prince Rui and whispered:
"Brother, we must not disobey the orders of the Empress Dowager. Let us always put the overall situation first."
"Hmph. You are useless too. Just a woman. If she doesn't obey, I will force her." Prince Rui glanced at Prince Li coldly.
Then he pointed at Fu Xuanheng and said coldly:
"Fu Xuanheng, I won't let you buy land. Let's see what you can achieve by reclaiming wasteland."
After saying that.
Prince Rui turned and left angrily.
"Back to town."
The guard who was fighting with Fu Xuanheng quickly drew his sword and ran back.
One of the guards had his neck cut by Fu Xuanheng's dart. A guard accompanying him picked up the man with the broken neck and left quickly.
Prince Li's deep eyes fell on Fu Xuanheng.
"How cruel! He is the most powerful prince in the First Prince's Palace. How dare you kill his guards?"
Fu Xuanheng put away his sword and glanced at him indifferently. "Why not? A barefoot man is not afraid of a man dressed in fine clothes and well-fed."
"Do you want to try it?"
Prince Li didn't dare to fight with this madman. The saying "A barefoot man is not afraid of fine clothes and delicious food" woke him up.
Why bother arguing with this hopeless person?
At worst, let someone else come and kill them.
Prince Li looked at Li Weiyang, "Miss Li, won't you come back to town with us?"
“I will live here. No need for you to worry about me, Your Majesty.” Li Weiyang walked towards the pavilion and saw Uncle Yun Jiu sitting there.
I couldn't help but feel playful and jumped up.
Uncle Yun Jiu frowned and kicked her out. After kicking her out, he realized belatedly that this confused girl was not Prince Li's person.
Seeing Li Weiyang about to fall into the pond.
He curled his lips in disdain, but still flew over.
When he got closer, he kicked Li Weiyang into the pavilion.
Uncle Yun Ba picked up the sword on the table and blocked it without drawing it. Only then did Li Weiyang stabilize herself.
She put her hands on her hips angrily and looked at Uncle Yun Jiu with anger on her face.
"Are you still a man? Do you know how to be gentle with women?"
Uncle Yun Jiu had a cold face and didn't even glance at her. He walked straight past her and sat next to Uncle Yun Ba.
Li Weiyang, who was ignored: ...For the first time in my life.
Very good, ice face.
You've offended this girl.
Li Weiyang thought about finding an opportunity to take revenge on Uncle Yun Jiu in the future.
Also ignored was Prince Li.
He stared at Li Weiyang with his dark eyes, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Prince Li arrived at the He family.
I heard that Prince Rui returned to the town in a rage.
He didn't follow, but touched his chin and rolled his eyes.
He sent his guards to the town to buy some rice. "What do you think the He family needs? Ask Madam He to write it down."
"You go and arrange it together."
The guards took the order and left.
Prince Li looked up at the bamboo building where He Luxue was, and his eyes met He Luxue who was sitting at the window.
He Luxue looked away calmly.
Prince Li twisted the jade pendant on his waist, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He knew He Luxue was an easy woman to please, so he wasn't worried about not being able to handle her. Besides, as a young woman, she wouldn't dare get really angry when she was left out among the He family.
Thinking of this, Prince Li touched the jade pendant. At most, he could just give her a jade pendant.
Mr. He Er was waiting for Prince Li on the side and asked cautiously:
"My Lord, why didn't you return to town?"
Prince Li smiled and said, "Old Master, there were a lot of inconveniences just now."
"Seeing the He family's plight, this prince cannot bear it. Here are five hundred taels of silver. I hope you won't refuse.
Otherwise, it's too little?"
How could Mr. He Er think it was too little?
Five hundred taels of silver are enough for him to use for the rest of his life.
If it were in the capital, the reward for the top performer in Baihua Tower would be more than this amount.
But things are different now.
He was reluctant to die and hoped that the He family would one day rise again.
Mr. He Er collected the banknotes and took Prince Li to have tea. He instructed the person next to him:
"What are Lu Xue and Lu You doing? Let them come over and talk to the prince. Young people have a common language."
"Dad. I'll go call Lu Xue and Lu You over right now." The person who agreed was Mr. He Er's daughter-in-law, who walked out hurriedly with a flattering smile.
She saw several banknotes.
…
Shen Yunyue and the others sat in the pavilion, while Li Weiyang ate some fruit and let out a long sigh.
"You've been eating dry food every day these days. You're really living a life like a god, Yunyue. I want to stay with you for a while." Li Weiyang smiled and pulled Shen Yunyue's sleeve.
"Miss Li, it's inconvenient for you to live here." Fu Xuanheng looked at Li Weiyang's hands indifferently, and a voice in his heart wanted to chop off these hands.
Why are you pulling Yunyue's sleeve for no reason?
Li Weiyang shuddered when she met Fu Xuanheng's eyes.
She smiled awkwardly and said:
"Fu Xuanheng, do you think I would be deceived by Prince Li and his men? I'm just a girl coming to Shihanzhou where there are many bandits. It's better for me to follow them and have more protection along the way."
"I know who my friends are."
Li Weiyang met Uncle Yun Jiu's dark gaze and deliberately pouted her lips to make a funny expression.
Uncle Yun Jiu turned his gaze away indifferently.
"Xuan Heng, I'm going for a walk."
"Uncle Jiu. I'll go for a walk with you."
Li Weiyang stood up suddenly, "Are you leaving because I'm here?"
He rubbed his waist which was hurt by the kick. If Uncle Yun Jiu dared to nod, he would definitely kick his head off.
Li Weiyang looked Uncle Yun Jiu up and down.
Uncle Yun Jiu sat down silently. Uncle Yun Ba glanced at him in surprise, wondering when did this guy compromise after being threatened?
Seeing this, Fu Xuanheng also sat next to Shen Yunyue.
The scene was a bit awkward, but luckily Li Weiyang had a good personality and didn't feel uncomfortable.
Shen Yunyue cleared her throat. "Rong Ting, what do you think of watermelon?"
"Very good. What do you mean?..." Rong Ting's mind moved.
"I want to grow watermelons and open up markets in several nearby cities in the future."
"But watermelon is consumed by the nobility, and transportation is a problem." Rong Ting also tends to grow watermelons.
"Then plant it in other places as well. But watermelon seeds are not cheap, and the number of seeds I can give you is limited." Shen Yunyue picked up the teacup, put it to her mouth and took a sip.
He took the cup in his hand and rubbed it, "You should understand the principle that scarcity makes things valuable."
