Chapter 16 Braised Pig's Trotters, Black Armor Guards
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."
Xie Yanqing's cough was so severe that it shook the earth.
Really... the idea of being my future sister-in-law is a bit dangerous.
and……
Why does Yuehua still act like what her sister is right?
"That..."
After coughing for a while, no one came to bring him a glass of water or ask him a question. Xie Yanqing silently stopped coughing by himself, and then worked hard to serve food to Jiang Yueyao.
"Yaoyao... uh, Yuansong and Yuanbo and I are brothers, and that's what they call you, so I can call you that too."
Jiang Yueyao took a bite of the delicious fish belly meat and glanced at Xie Yanqing.
[This Mr. Xie Xiaohou was quite obedient when he was speaking in the Treasure House just now]
[The attitude towards the little green tea girl seems to be less ambiguous? 】
[Maybe it’s still a big pig’s trotter, but… it looks like a big pig’s trotter that is soft and delicious after being braised in brown sauce, or a braised pig’s trotter served on a golden plate]
[How about letting my sister try a bite? ]
[After all, you can only tell whether it tastes good after you take a bite]
[If it doesn’t taste good, just return it. It seems like being a bad girl is pretty fun.]
Xie Yanqing: …
I always feel that my future sister-in-law's thoughts are very dangerous.
How could Yuehua, such a pure girl, be a scumbag?
What Xie Yanqing didn't notice was that Jiang Yuehua's eyes flashed.
What my sister said...actually makes sense.
Jiang Yueyao nodded, "If you want to call me that, Brother Xie..."
【Where is the fee for changing your statement? ! 】
[You want to call me by my nickname without paying the change fee? 】
[Hehe, I'll give you three seconds. If you don't pay me to change your words, you big pig's hoof, don't even think about calling me for the rest of your life...]
"Yaoyao, this is the money Brother Xie gave you for changing your words."
Xie Yanqing very decisively took out from his pocket... a pair of white jade hairpins.
Although he had only known Jiang Yueyao for a short time, Xie Yanqing had already quickly recognized the true nature of this future sister-in-law.
Jiang Yueyao sat up straight with dignity.
[Wow, so beautiful!!!]
[Isn't this the jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion? I remember this pair of white jade hairpins were quite expensive... I think it was three thousand taels?]
[Wow, wow, I'm so touched. You're such a good person, big pig's hoof.]
[Wait... Big Pig Hoof actually gave me a pair of hairpins. Could it be that he wants me to have another one for my sister? ]
[Well, you big pig's hoof, you are quite clever]
【But I support you! 】
[It's decided. Since you've been so generous, I can straighten this big pig's hoof. You're still my future brother-in-law! ]
Xie Yanqing was very excited.
In the future, my sister-in-law finally accepted me.
She immediately understood what he was thinking... This kind of white jade hairpin seemed too mature for a "child" like Jiang Yueyao.
His Yuehua still looks better when he wears it.
Jiang Yuehua: ...
Suddenly he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pig's trotter.
…
…
Jiang Yueyao happily held the pair of white jade hairpins, like a little squirrel holding nuts.
And at this moment...
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside Zuixian Tower.
"What's going on?"
Xie Yanqing frowned, walked to the window of the box and looked out, his expression became even uglier.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuehua also walked over and saw at a glance that a team of soldiers had surrounded the Zuixian Tower.
"Black armor and white feathers, is that King Jing?"
Xie Yanqing recognized the identity of the pair of black-armored soldiers surrounding Zuixianlou at a glance, but it was precisely because of the recognition that his brows furrowed deeply.
"Prince Jing? Shouldn't he be returning to the capital with the army? According to the army's speed, it will take at least half a month to return. This..."
Jiang Yuehua also frowned, feeling that something was a little wrong.
"If Prince Jing returned to the capital secretly, he would not have made such a big fuss to have the black-armored guards surround Zuixianlou. I think your majesty must have issued some secret order. After all... this person was raised by your majesty."
"Since it was His Royal Highness Prince Jing who did it, I think it has nothing to do with us. Let's just wait in the box."
Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuehua looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
When he turned around to remind Jiang Yueyao, he saw the little girl having a great time with a braised pork elbow.
This pork elbow must have been stewed in a clay pot for several hours, and a lot of spices were added. It is really fragrant, with tender meat and rotten bones.
Jiang Yueyao ate with great satisfaction.
As for the sounds outside...
Jiang Yueyao had neither broken any law nor committed any crime, and she was accompanied by the heroine of the book and the young marquis of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. What was there to be afraid of?
Jiang Yuehua: ...
My sister is just like this, she remains calm in times of crisis and has the demeanor of a great general.
…
…
Jiang Yueyao ate happily, but...
“Bang!”
With a big elbow still in his hand, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open by a huge force.
A figure flew in like a cannonball, and then...
It fell heavily on the dining table.
"ah!!!"
Jiang Yueyao was angry.
Although she was pulled aside by the quick-witted Xie Yanqing just now and was not affected, but...
“My dish!”
A table full of delicious food, all ruined!!!
[So angry, so angry, so angry!!!]
[Sister, is it easy for me to go out for a meal? I was disrupted like this! 】
【What is going on? 】
[Woo, woo, woo, my pork elbow, there is still more than half left to eat~~~]
"Yaoyao, don't be angry. I'll bring you here to eat pork elbow later."
Jiang Yuehua stretched out her hands to hold her sister's shoulders and led her back to a corner of the box, while Xie Yanqing continued to move as fast as a rabbit and went straight forward to fight with the figure that flew in.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
It was the first time that Jiang Yueyao saw people from this world taking action.
[Oh my god, there really is such a thing as martial arts]
[The big pig's hoof turned out to be a flying pig's hoof! ]
[Look at me doing a left hook, a right hook, and a roundhouse kick]
[Wow, pig's trotter, you are so handsome~~~]
[Big pig trotters are so manly when they fight... By the way, I actually saw a little heart in my sister's eyes. So my sister likes the type that can fight? ]
[It seems my sister really likes this big pig's hoof]
Xie Yanqing, who had already secured victory and was about to subdue his opponent, almost slipped after hearing Jiang Yueyao's thoughts.
Yuehua...so you like your heroic side?
It was a pity that he had thought Yuehua liked the kind of elegant and handsome young man who always wore a white shirt and waved a folding fan...
It turned out that I had taken the wrong road!
It’s all Jiang Yuanbo’s fault, for giving him wrong information!
Although there was a small mistake, but... Xie Yanqing was a young general who could go to the battlefield after all, and he quickly subdued the figure.
At the same time...
Several black-armored guards also ran in quickly.
"Thank you, Young Lord."
"You are...Xue Lang?"
Xie Yanqing looked at the black-armored guard who was leading the group and kicked the sturdy man who was lying on the ground like a dead dog after he broke both of his arms.
"This is the person you want to take. I hand it over to you."
"Thank you, young master."
The leading black-armored guard saluted, and then someone immediately trapped the man.
"The Black Armored Guards are arresting Beiliang spies and are sorry to have disturbed Young Marquis Xie. Please wait here for a moment. Once we have captured all the Beiliang spies, we will send you and the two young ladies... home."
The leading black-armored guard turned his head and glanced at the sisters Jiang Yuehua and Jiang Yueyao who were sitting in a corner of the room.
When the line of sight fell on Jiang Yueyao, it suddenly paused.
This person... looks a little familiar.
