"Excuse me!"

Jiang Chen's eyebrows jumped violently. He raised his hands to cover his eyes in panic and looked hurriedly at the other three people.

The emperor's uncle and Princess Qi Yang were seen looking up at the roof of the bamboo house. Jiang Qingqing was hiding behind the emperor's uncle and turned her head to look at him in such a miserable state.

“Puff.”

The laughter was not Jiang Qingqing's, she held it back.

The beautiful woman pressed her chest slightly, slowly stood up and sighed.

"I am sorry for being rude. I just went to Xiangguo a few days ago and was slightly misled by the local culture there. I'm sorry."

She looked at the four people in the house coming over, and did not ask them what they were here for. Instead, she raised her voice and told the servant in the backyard to lead the way to Liuting.

After shouting, she looked at Jiang Chen's blushing ears, and a suggestive smile appeared on her red lips.

"You guys go ahead and wait for me for a moment. I'll come back to ask about your order later."

After saying that, the beautiful woman turned around and went back to the inner room.

Jiang Qingqing saw how decisive and efficient this beautiful woman was, and she didn't think she would do anything wrong towards such a bold woman.

She was quite envious of the bravery of this beautiful woman.

"Is she the manager of Ying Niang's shop?" Jiang Qingqing asked cautiously, staring at the beautiful woman's plump back as she left.

Xiao Linting breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the person walking away.

"Her name is Ying Niang. This is a small restaurant she opened. Although it is a small restaurant, it has fresh ingredients and a variety of dishes. Rare things are valuable. Gradually, it has become a good place for business talks and chats in the eyes of some powerful people in Beijing."

Simply put, it is a highly luxurious private dish.

Jiang Qingqing nodded thoughtfully.

This kind of place must have different amounts of information every day. If she could also set up a shop like this...

Wouldn't all the big and small things in the capital escape her eyes?

Then why do we need the support of our uncle or father?

Jiang Qingqing crossed her arms over her chest and thought seriously about the feasibility of this matter. She became more and more excited.

Just ask yourself, who wouldn’t want to try if there’s an opportunity to be independent? ?

Jiang Qingqing followed behind Xiao Linting. She was so immersed in her own blueprint for hegemony that she didn't even notice the emperor's uncle's gesture of extending his hand to hold her hand.

Xiao Linting stretched out his hand three times, but didn't see the little guy's hand reach out three times. He couldn't help but look back to see what the little guy was doing behind him.

They were walking on the small corridor in the backyard. Jiang Qingqing was so lost in her own world that she didn't notice what the emperor's uncle was doing at all.

Suddenly, the servant leading the way stopped abruptly, and the small group braked suddenly. Jiang Qingqing withdrew her thoughts.

Only then did she notice that the emperor's uncle's hand was almost reaching her face.

The little guy reached out and held his big hand in a hurry.

When he felt the familiar softness in his palm, Xiao Linting relaxed his frown a little.

But just a moment later, his brows relaxed and when his eyes fell straight ahead, his sharp eyebrows furrowed again.

"Who is blocking my way?"

A slightly shrill drake voice broke the silence, and then a man in a dark blue robe appeared. He was dressed decently, but the words he spoke did not sound like a human.

"Didn't you see that the Prince of Fengchen was coming over?"

The person who was helping pushed and shouted at the guide who was leading the way in front.

The guide staggered and unfortunately, Jiang Qingqing was standing behind him.

Xiao Linting lowered his eyes, quickly picked up Jiang Qingqing into his arms, and then held the little girl in his arms.

Thanks to the emperor's uncle, Jiang Qingqing quickly saw who those bustling people on the opposite side were.

The person who was pushing and shouting at the guide wanted to scold the people behind him. He had a sharp-nosed and monkey-faced look, and when his narrow and upturned eyes looked at Xiao Linting in a dark black robe, his pair of inverted triangle eyes suddenly widened.

His expression changed faster than the woman's.

Jiang Qingqing was so frightened by the smooth defense just now that her mind went blank for a moment, and then she reacted.

She was already in the emperor's uncle's arms, and she couldn't even remember when she put her hands on his neck.

"Isn't this the famous Prince Xiao? I have long heard of your great name," the man said with a grin. He was about to bow and noticed that Prince Xiao looked unhappy, so he hurriedly added, "It's all the fault of this servant who led people away without permission!"

Jiang Qingqing, who had calmed down, heard such a rude and uncultured remark. Her eyes fell on the people in front of her who looked like decent people in clothing, but were actually all dandies who relied on wealthy families.

"You mean to say that the servants were wrong in leading the way? They followed the shopkeeper's request and led the way, how could it be wrong?!"

The baby's voice rang out crisply.

Jiang Qingqing couldn't stand the fact that the achievements made by their parents were being ruined by the younger generations who were so ugly.

Among the group of people opposite, there was a person in the center who was obviously surrounded by people. It was the prince who had just introduced himself, the young prince of Fengchen family.

Jiang Qingqing was familiar with this person. He was the student who tried to instigate her brother and almost made Jiang Chen take the blame last time in the Imperial College.

I let him go at first because I saw that he had a good attitude. Now I saw him in Ying Niang's private courtyard, but he was not as humble as he was in the Imperial College, but acted like an old man.

"Or is it that you guys have big feet and big bodies, and such a large corridor can't accommodate four or five of you? Do you have the ability to hold up such a big show?!"

The young master of Lord Fengchen half-squinted his eyes and looked at the baby in Xiao Linting's arms. It was only after he listened to the girl's two or three words that he remembered who this person was.

"Princess Dunming has left the palace. We are so sorry that we didn't see her clearly." The young master of Duke Fengchen was probably still afraid of the various forces behind Jiang Qingqing who doted on her.

On the surface, he seemed to be smiling and nodding to apologize, but if you look closely at his bowing posture, it was sloppy and he didn't look like he was truly repentant.

Besides...

"What do you mean? If the person standing here today wasn't this princess, or the emperor's uncle, would you still be so arrogant and bully others? Who do you think you are? What little cookie do you think you are?!"

[Luckily I couldn't help it. I almost...almost lost my innocent and cute image. Swearing is not something a little princess should do. Calm down!]

Jiang Qingqing quickly repeated the word "image" in her mind, which slightly suppressed her temper.

Xiao Linting holding Jiang Qingqing was a silent hint to everyone present that the little princess was now under his protection.

He also noticed the little movements of the young master of Fengchen family who were dissatisfied, and he knew that he was only suppressing him on the surface.

"Your Highness, please calm down." The young man with inverted triangle eyes nodded and bowed in a flattering manner.

Jiang Qingqing turned to stare at the man, "From what I know, this private courtyard should not be opened by you. Did you invest money or manpower and material resources here? How dare you walk around here and not follow the rules here?"
