Chapter 162: My Brain Was Melted by Green Tea
Yun Qingqing nodded, took out a talisman and handed it to her:
"Keep this lucky charm with you. It will keep you safe for a month. During this time, I will take care of the problem. When your luck returns, you won't need this charm anymore."
"Thank you, Princess!" Xu Suyao felt much more at ease and took the talisman paper with both hands and put it away.
Ye Zhishen's eyes sparkled:
"Master, do you still have this talisman? I want it too... Hehe, I want to increase my luck!"
Yun Qingqing rolled her eyes at him:
"Do you think all the good luck in this world comes out of thin air? How can it be so cheap?"
"The so-called lucky charm does not just turn bad luck into good luck, it actually transforms your current bad luck into good luck in the future."
"If you don't want to be unlucky in the future after changing your luck, you need to use other methods to regain good luck, which is equivalent to filling the gap."
"Ah!" Ye Zhishen said worriedly, "Then the talisman you gave Yaoyao will transfer her bad luck to the future. What will she do then?"
"Can you please listen to me?" Yun Qingqing said calmly, "Miss Xu's original luck was very good, so as long as I solve the problem of her luck being stolen and let her original luck return naturally, the deficit caused by the lucky charm will be automatically filled, and there will be no sequelae."
"Huh, that's good." Ye Zhishen felt relieved, but also felt it was a pity, "So this thing is useless to me. I don't want to overdraw my future good luck. What's the difference between that and borrowing usury!"
"You still have some brains." Yun Qingqing rarely agreed with him, "Because if you want to make up for the overdrawn good luck, you can either accumulate merits and use magic tools, or get it from others - including asking and stealing."
"No matter which method you use, you have to put in more energy and money. If you overdraw your luck, you usually have to pay high interest."
"But Miss Xu's situation is special, so there's no need to worry about that."
The two finally felt relieved, and Ye Zhishen asked again:
"Then Master, how do you plan to find out who is behind this? Do you need our help?"
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment:
"Is there any poetry appreciation meeting in the near future?"
Xu Suyao nodded:
"There will be one in three days. Princess, do you want to attend?"
Qiao'er, who was accompanying her, suddenly said:
"The invitation from the Crown Princess has been delivered today and is on your desk."
Yun Qingqing raised her lips:
"Very good, this time let me see what she is up to!"
…
The next day, just as Tianming Pavilion started to open, the bells rang one after another, and four or five people came at once.
Three of them said that they had been wandering around the area all day yesterday but couldn't find Tianming Pavilion.
Fortunately, I didn't give up and tried my luck again today, and I actually found it.
How could they know that a certain Pavilion Master had slept in the whole day yesterday and the Tianming Pavilion was not open at all, so they couldn't find it.
I just felt that this place was becoming more and more mysterious.
Yun Qingqing asked these people to receive number plates according to the order in which they arrived, and began to tell fortunes one by one.
Fortunately, there were no major cases that day. She now receives new wishes every day. Her spiritual power and cultivation level are increasing rapidly, and she is more adept at handling various incidents.
I finished several things in the morning and saw off the last person. I found Qiao'er waiting outside the door.
Ever since Qiao'er couldn't find the gate of Tianming Pavilion last time and waited for her outside for half the night, Yun Qingqing gave her a pass so that she could come over anytime if there was anything going on in the mansion.
"Miss, the Empress Defei has summoned you to the palace for a chat."
"Hmm?" Yun Qingqing was stunned. "Did you say what it was?"
"No, but the eunuch who came to report the news said that this is also the will of His Majesty, and asked you, young lady, not to disobey."
Qiao Er said this with some worry:
"Is there any trouble again? Last time, you worked so hard for so many days to collect food and fodder, and you were almost tricked. You must be careful this time!"
Yun Qingqing rubbed her hair on her forehead:
"Okay, I get it. Qiao'er still cares about me."
"Let's go and take a look."
When they arrived at the palace and were informed, the eunuch who led the way took Yun Qingqing straight to the Imperial Garden, saying that the Emperor and Concubine De were both there.
When I arrived at the Imperial Garden and met the Emperor and Concubine De, I realized that Yun Bailian was also there.
"Sister, you're finally here!"
As soon as she asked how she was, Yun Bailian spoke with a smile.
"Father and Consort De have been waiting for you for quite some time. If you didn't know your sister's character, you would probably think that she was deliberately ignoring Father and Consort De!"
As soon as she said this, the emperor was fine. He just picked up the teacup and coughed, then took a sip of tea. However, Defei's face was already a little unhappy.
The same thing happened again. Yun Qingqing laughed on the spot.
"How could that be?" She smiled. "Some time ago, for our Daliang, I traveled thousands of miles with the prince to Jingguo to transport grain. I was tired of being in the wild, so after returning, I like to go shopping and feel the prosperity of our imperial capital."
"What a coincidence! When the Queen summoned me, I was browsing in the snack shop on East Street, so I was naturally late!"
When Yun Bailian heard her deliberately mention the matter of transporting grain, her face suddenly changed color.
Isn't this clearly a case of bringing up something irrelevant, specifically to remind everyone of the prince's mistake in transporting grain?
Yun Qingqing didn't care whether she could save face or not, and said with a smile:
"I also brought a few things that I think taste good, and brought them for Your Majesty and Empress Defei to try."
As she spoke, she took the food box from Qiao'er, brought out some delicious snacks and placed them on the table.
The Emperor and Concubine De smiled and took a small taste of the food out of courtesy, their expressions slightly brightening.
"This snack tastes really good. I didn't expect there is such craftsmanship outside the palace. The Regent Princess is so thoughtful!" Concubine De praised.
Yun Qingqing turned around and asked Yun Bailian with a smile:
"I heard that Sister Bai Lian is still free to hold a poetry appreciation party. Has the Prince's Mansion paid off all the money it owed to the court officials and grain merchants?"
Yun Bailian was so angry that her teeth almost broke, but she didn't dare to show it, so she could only lower her head and say:
"Your Highness was also harmed in that incident. Why do you have to be so aggressive and keep harping on a single fault?"
She acted pitifully and weak, as if she had been badly bullied.
Yun Qingqing accepted it with a smile:
"If you know you're wrong, you should behave yourself. Otherwise, if you provoke me once, don't blame me for punishing you once!"
"Oh, by the way, a princess consort cannot be ignorant of the most basic etiquette of respect and inferiority. I am your imperial aunt, so don't call me by the wrong name next time!"
Yun Bailian was used to using some cunning tricks, and she never expected that Yun Qingqing would directly confront her. Her face turned pale and blue, and she was completely unable to defend herself, and stood there at a loss.
All she could think about was how dare Yun Qingqing do this! Wasn't she afraid that the emperor would think she was too arrogant?
Thinking of this, she seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and looked up at the emperor with eyes full of tears:
"Father... Bai Lian is dull and stupid. I don't know what I said wrongly, but the Regent Princess was so hostile to me as soon as we met..."
Yun Qingqing was almost amused by her actions.
You are not only stupid, your brain has been melted by green tea!
