Chapter 116: The Almighty Emperor's Uncle



"Then the emperor's uncle knows that there is a concubine in the harem named Wan, whose rank is noble. Do you know this person?"

Jiang Qingqing asked Xiao Linting with a cautious attitude.

Xiao Linting listened to Jiang Qingqing's shocked tone, and he was also somewhat shocked by Jiang Qingqing's drastic reaction.

He calmed down for a moment before speaking: "Mr. Wan, I have heard of her occasionally, but she is not favored. Why are you asking her suddenly?"

Jiang Qingqing pondered for a moment.

"Don't ask so many questions for now. Can you tell me if Lady Wan's mother's family is really an ordinary waterside village?"

She was still holding back on her own strategy and refused to discuss it with Xiao Linting.

It’s not that I’m on guard against the emperor’s uncle.

The main reason is that she feels that at this age, she is the most innocent. If she appears to be too scheming, it will give people a bad impression, which will be difficult to deal with.

Xiao Linting looked at the little guy's wonderful micro-expressions and knew that the little guy was thinking about some messy things again.

"According to the information my people have obtained, Lady Wan, your mother's family is indeed from a water town. I don't know if they are ordinary or not. In Tianqi, those who can enter the palace to become concubines must have a father of at least the fifth rank."

Xiao Linting spoke in a deep voice about what he knew, and Jiang Qingqing recalled it in a foolish manner.

Then, she asked cautiously, "Based on what I know, which of the four concubines do you think Lady Wan has a better relationship with?"

In Jiang Qingqing's mind, there is only one candidate.

That is Concubine De.

In Jiang Qingqing's eyes, everything Defei did was completely exposed.

On her fifth birthday, the maidservant next to Concubine De dared to find Xiao Linting and tried to win him over with her beauty, but failed. Later, Concubine De behaved in a very strange way in front of her.

"The relationship among the four concubines is better? It shouldn't be. The four concubines all have their own people. According to the current information, there is no obvious big backer behind Wan Guiren."

Xiao Linting didn't quite understand why Jiang Qingqing suddenly mentioned this.

He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Qingqing and asked in a low voice: "Did Wan Guiren offend His Highness?"

Jiang Qingqing was thinking deeply that there was something fishy going on with Wan Guiren because the power behind him looked too simple.

Hearing the emperor's uncle ask this, she waved her little hand again and sighed.

"She hasn't offended me. It's just that these past few days, I always felt that something was not right with Miss Wan." Jiang Qingqing didn't dare to say it too absolutely.

Xiao Linting nodded slightly. He didn’t think too much about it.

The intrigues in the harem are too complicated. Compared with the intrigues among the concubines, Xiao Linting would rather go to the battlefield and kill the enemy directly. He wants to be simple and rough.

The carriage quickly returned to the palace.

Xiao Linting personally sent Jiang Qingqing back to Huaning Palace, and then told her where he would go next.

"I will use this to seize the illegal shops at the intersection. There are too many people on the road, so it is not convenient for Your Highness to appear on the street. If the scene becomes chaotic, it will be even harder to protect Your Highness."

Xiao Linting explained the reasons in a serious manner.

Jiang Qingqing could tell from what she heard that it was obvious that the emperor's uncle didn't want her to leave the palace anymore.

She pouted her lips, snorted, and climbed onto the armchair. She turned her head away neatly, not looking at Xiao Linting's face.

How could Xiao Linting not see that Jiang Qingqing was angry? He took out the bag of osmanthus candy wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve.

He unfolded the oil paper, and the melted osmanthus candy inside was still crystal clear.

"Your Highness, it's really too chaotic outside. I'm afraid something bad will happen to Your Highness. I'm worried."

Xiao Linting lifted up his clothes, walked forward, knelt on one knee, and tried to look Jiang Qingqing in the eye.

Jiang Qingqing twisted her body again, not wanting to even glance at the emperor's uncle. She didn't even want to give him a glance.

"Your Highness, please listen. I don't want you to take risks anymore," Xiao Linting continued to coax Jiang Qingqing with rare patience. "How about this, Your Highness, take a rest in the palace today. In a few days, I will take you to the Jingjiao Military District in Kyoto to watch the excitement?"

"What are you looking for? Where are you going?"

Jiang Qingqing originally wanted to keep a straight face and continue to act cool, but when she heard the key words "going out to play", she couldn't hold it anymore.

The little kid spoke in a chubby voice, but there was still some stubbornness in his tone.

Xiao Linting's phoenix eyes were silently filled with a faint smile. Looking at the cute side of the little princess, he couldn't help but raise his hand, picked up a piece of osmanthus candy, and stuffed it into Jiang Qingqing's mouth.

"Your Highness has probably never been to the suburbs of Beijing. There is a large horse training ground in the military district. Your Highness can ride horses however he wants. By the way, I'll take you to see the excitement. Someone in the military district is getting married. Isn't Your Highness the one who loves to join in the fun?"

Xiao Linting watched Jiang Qingqing eat the osmanthus candy on his fingertips, and the smile in his eyes suddenly deepened.

Jiang Qingqing had just eaten the osmanthus candy when she heard what Xiao Linting said. Her eyes turned slightly cold.

[What do you mean I love to join in the fun? Why are you talking so harshly? I am knowledgeable and curious! ! ]

The voice of the little dumpling in my mind was very unpleasant.

This made Xiao Linting a little confused.

He was laughing just now, but in just one sentence, he became angry again.

The sticky touch on his fingertips made him a little irritated. He subconsciously raised his hand to smell the osmanthus candy on his fingertips, and then licked it in his mouth.

After a while...

Jiang Qingqing's gaze changed from shock at first, to dullness at the end, and finally returned to shock again.

"You you you!!!" You old rascal, you ate the finger I ate before and you still sucked it!!

This time, Jiang Qingqing didn't even care about the osmanthus candy and turned around and walked into the house.

Xin Juan, who had left Xiao Linting alone in the main hall of Huaning Palace and had no idea what was going on, came in with a cup of hot tea to change it, and saw the prince standing there in a daze.

"In a while...are you going to leave the palace again?" Xin Juan asked cautiously as she watched His Highness hurried away.

Xiao Linting looked at his fingertips absentmindedly for a long while, until Xin Juan spoke, he came to his senses and realized what he had just done.

He obviously didn't do anything excessive, but he just licked his fingertips and made her angry again?

"I will leave the palace in a moment, please serve His Highness well."

He couldn't understand why Jiang Qingqing ran away, so he handed the osmanthus candy in his hand to Xin Juan and told Xin Juan not to let Jiang Qingqing eat too much candy.

Then he hurried out of the palace with the Chamber of Commerce certificate in his hand and went straight to the shop at the intersection.
