The four people probably didn't understand Qin Qingyao's temper very well, and treated kicking shuttlecock as a task, so they kicked hard and seriously, which made it difficult for Qin Qingyao and the group of little maids who didn't know martial arts.
Those people were so focused on kicking that no one noticed Dugu Yu coming. An Yu kicked out, and the small shuttlecock flew towards Qin Qingyao at the speed of a bullet.
The servants watching nearby began to cover their eyes, unable to bear to watch. As a result, the shuttlecock did not hit Qin Qingyao like the previous times, but flew back and hit An Yu in the face.
“Ah~”
An Yu never thought that the shuttlecock could fly back, so he completely relaxed his vigilance. As a result, he was hit directly and screamed in pain.
If the shuttlecock flew a little higher, it would have hit his eyes.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Qin Qingyao breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thank you, husband!"
Dugu Yu looked at the people on Qin Qingyao's side, some were rubbing their shoulders, some were rubbing their knees, and some were limping. It was obvious that they were all hit by the shuttlecock.
Thinking about how those four people were playing shuttlecock with Qin Qingyao, if he hadn't arrived in time, wouldn't she have been injured? He immediately glanced over with a cold look, and the four of An Yu and the others knelt on the ground in unison.
Dugu Yu ignored them and walked over to take Qin Qingyao by the hand to check everywhere. "How is it? Are you hurt?"
Qin Qingyao shook her head. "No, no, I'm not that delicate. They all helped me block it."
Dugu Yu nodded and said to the group of people behind Qin Qingyao, "Go find the butler to claim your reward."
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, Princess!"
Dugu Yu looked at An Yu and the others again, "You four, get out of here and run ten kilometers before coming back!"
If you have energy but nowhere to use it, you can have a good time!
"Yes, I obey your command."
The four people ran out obediently, but they were not convinced in their hearts. It was the princess who asked them to play shuttlecock, but those servants and maids who kicked the ball badly were rewarded, but they took it seriously and were punished to run?
They didn't know yet that on the first day back, they had already deeply aroused the prince's dissatisfaction. If the princess hadn't specifically asked them to do so, they would not be running ten kilometers, but would have to roll back to the Yanling Army again.
Dugu Yu took Qin Qingyao into the house and took off her shoes and socks without giving her a chance to refuse. Then he saw that her feet were almost swollen.
While helping her apply medicinal wine and massage, he suggested very sincerely, "Why don't you let Qi Mo and the other four come back? If you are not satisfied with their skills, let them stay by your side as ordinary guards."
Qin Qingyao, "Are you planning to call the four of them back to play shuttlecock?"
Dugu Yu nodded, "Yeah."
"Pfft, you're really wasting talent! I worked so hard to join your personal guard camp, is it just to play shuttlecock?"
The guards are certainly not there to play with, they are responsible for protecting the master's safety, but Dugu Yu really would rather the guards around Qin Qingyao would never be of any use and be so idle that they can only play shuttlecock with her.
Qin Qingyao curled her toes. Their husband's massage was really comfortable. "The four of them just arrived today. They just don't understand how to get along with the people in the palace. They will get better slowly. There's no need to worry about it anymore."
Dugu Yu really didn't understand why Qin Qingyao was so obsessed with Zheng Mingxuan and the other three, but as long as she was happy, he would just let her be.
Qin Qingyao didn't know when Zheng Mingxuan and the other four finished running ten kilometers. After the run, they only reported to Dugu Yu and didn't say hello to her.
They are secret guards, and they are very stubborn in sticking to their posts, unlike Wu Gang and the other four, who have long thrown the word "secret" out of their minds and are wandering around everywhere.
So Qin Qingyao only knew that the four people must be watching her every move, but she didn't know where they were. It was quite scary to think about it.
She had been busy with Baiji's affairs these days and had put aside her elder sister's affairs. Early the next morning, she went out alone to enjoy the romantic atmosphere without anyone else.
The eldest son and his men have already found out several of the main people who spread rumors and slandered Qin Qingsang, but they have not yet alerted them and are waiting for Qin Qingyao to decide how to deal with them.
Qin Qingyao was walking alone on the street. She felt that she had started to miss those four people the day after they left.
Before she even reached the door of Fenghuaxueyue, Qin Qingyao met the person she least wanted to see.
Lin Xiafeng brought Caiwei with her, holding a lot of things she had just bought. She came out to buy things early in the morning. This lady really has a unique hobby.
When Qin Qingyao saw her face, the image of Baiji whose eyes were blinded suddenly appeared in his mind, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.
Lin Xiafeng also saw Qin Qingyao. This time, not only did he not ignore her, but he also took the initiative to step forward and said politely, "My daughter greets the princess. Good morning!"
Qin Qingyao looked at Lin Xiafeng's face with a gentle and harmless smile, and she really couldn't force even a fake smile.
She thought about how to trick her into talking, how to hint at her and wait for her to reveal herself, but when the words came to her lips, all she could do was ask the most straightforward question, "It's you, isn't it?"
Lin Xiafeng tilted his head slightly and looked at Qin Qingyao, looking cute and obedient. "I've been very busy these past few days and have done a lot of things. Which one are you asking about, Princess?"
"It was you who wanted the Yanling Army's talisman, and it was you who sent people to kill Baiji, right?"
Lin Xiafeng sighed softly, "It seems that the talisman has returned to the palace. The princess is indeed very intelligent and has never let me down. Yes, it's me."
Qin Qingyao suddenly raised her hand, but before she could hit him, Lin Xiafeng grabbed her hand. She still smiled harmlessly and gently.
"Princess, this is the street, there are so many people watching. I am now the Crown Prince's person. If you want to touch me, don't you think twice about the relationship between the Wuling Palace and the Eastern Palace?"
Qin Qingyao's teeth were chattering. Using the Eastern Palace to pressure her? If she hadn't helped Ling Jingyu, he would still be in prison in the clan residence. What kind of Eastern Palace is this?
"A concubine who hasn't even been married yet, would the Crown Prince stand up for you and cause trouble for Prince Wu Ling's Mansion? You really take yourself too seriously!"
Lin Xiafeng said with great certainty, "He can, you know very well that he can!"
"Haha," Lin Xiafeng released his hand and looked into Qin Qingyao's eyes. "Princess, you know very well who I am, and I also know very well what you are capable of. So, forget about those insignificant thoughts. I'm very busy!"
After saying that, Lin Xiafeng walked past Qin Qingyao arrogantly, took two steps and looked back at her.
"Princess, please take good care of yourself. I'm so disappointed that a little maid has made you so angry and upset. After all, I've painstakingly prepared several great gifts for you!"
"What else do you want to do?"
Lin Xiafeng squinted her eyes. If you didn't listen to what she said and only looked at her face with a sweet smile, you would definitely think she was saying sweet words to someone!
"Just wait and you'll see!"
Lin Xiafeng's confident smile really made Qin Qingyao upset. Lin Xiafeng knew clearly what would happen next, but she didn't know what Lin Xiafeng was going to do.
This feeling of being a headless fly is really terrible!
…
The eldest son told her about Qin Qingsang's situation indignantly. Qin Qingyao pinched her forehead and felt a headache!
She really couldn't understand why that little girl Ming Ruoxi was so desperate to commit suicide!
"Ming Ruoxi is already seventeen or eighteen years old this year, why hasn't she gotten married yet?"
The eldest son said, "Ah?"
"I'm telling you, why doesn't Ming Ruoxi get married at this age? She's got both the looks and the family background. There are plenty of nobles and aristocrats in Yulin City. Why is she staying in the Ming family just to bully her sister-in-law?"
The eldest son coughed lightly with a complicated expression, "Ahem, Princess, you don't know, but Miss Ming should be interested in His Royal Highness Prince Duan, but Prince Duan..."
Qin Qingyao immediately understood what the eldest master hadn't finished saying.
Prince Duan lives like a monk all day long and never gets close to women. Even when Lin Xiafeng agreed to the prince's proposal, he didn't react at all. What's going on?
Was he heartbroken after being abandoned by his loved one? Was he devastated? Did he give up on himself and hide away?
"What has Prince Duan been doing lately?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Duan has been somewhat pessimistic since his arrival at the court. He proposed lowering taxes and raising prices to encourage merchants to raise more water buffaloes for trade, but this was opposed by many senior officials."
"Furthermore, this matter has spread, and the people are very dissatisfied with His Royal Highness Prince Duan. They feel that he is putting the cart before the horse by prioritizing commerce over agriculture and ignoring the interests of farmers."
"Some even say...his proposal is simply to undermine the foundation of the country!"
Qin Qingyao: "..."
Is it really that tragic? Didn't Prince Duan tell those stubborn old men in the court what she said back then? Aren't there one or two people in the court who have foresight and a sense of market economy?
The eldest son continued, "I heard that even the policies that the Emperor had previously entrusted to His Royal Highness Prince Duan to relax business conditions and encourage the people to engage in commerce have now reached a bottleneck. Prince Duan is being attacked all day during the morning court session, and it seems he's having a hard time."
"Why……"
Qin Qingyao let out a long sigh. No wonder he didn't react to the matter between Lin Xiafeng and the prince. He was simply too busy to take care of it!
Isn't this former male protagonist's life too pathetic? He was kicked out by the female protagonist, and then he was completely defeated?
Do you have to be so fragile? Even that rubbish prince can turn the tables, so why can't you?
Although Ling Jingxuan no longer has the halo of the male protagonist and the protection of the female protagonist, his personality is still there, and his intelligence, talent and wisdom are still in his mind!
Is it fair to be beaten by the prince like this?
"Ming Ruoxi can't possibly marry Prince Duan. Find a man to marry her to!"
The eldest son said, "Ah?"
When did their romantic relationship develop into a matchmaking task?
