Although the person in front of him is his nephew, the prince of the current dynasty.
But the woman was not afraid at all, because the King of Qi was not born to the current Queen Mother. His biological mother was just a palace maid of humble status.
Although she is favored by the emperor now, no matter what, she is the emperor's cousin. So because of this, the emperor has to give her this face.
As long as she doesn't go too far, I will indulge her.
"So it's my nephew. Auntie wasn't talking about you. I just felt like I got along well with the general's daughter, so I said a few more words." Although the fat woman looked like an ordinary woman, there was no fear in her eyes, and she was calm and composed.
They just said a few words, but you have the power to control everything and still control what they say.
Jun Qianxi also smiled and said, "I also think what Madam said makes sense, but those ignorant ones can just be thrown away. Why bother guarding them?"
The obese woman was silent for a moment before realizing she was being too narrow-minded. She glanced at the scholar trembling beside her. This was the husband she had snatched away, and now she had to guard him all the time. The thought of it was exhausting.
If it weren't for her backing and her husband's fear of power, he would have taken in countless concubines long ago.
She also heard from the maid that her husband secretly said that she was vulgar and far inferior to the charming women in the brothel.
Relying on his own talent and knowledge, he behaves like this. It shows that all men are unfaithful.
"You're right, I'm narrow-minded," said the fat woman. "If you have time on weekdays, you can come to my house and sit down. It's the one with the stone lions at the entrance to West Street."
The two of them were having a great time chatting, but they angered the person next to them.
Nangong Jun held his breath, unable to go up or down.
Thinking of this, he looked at Jun Qianxi fiercely again. Today was really the most shameful day for him, all because of meeting this jinx.
His meeting with the beauty was ruined in vain. At this moment, he should have been drinking good wine and eating snacks, with the beautiful woman smiling sweetly opposite him.
He completely forgot that he was the one who provoked Jun Qianxi in the first place.
Many people left because they couldn't get any benefits here.
Outside the Crane Tower.
"Yu'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Nangong Jun's face was full of guilt, as if he had done something wrong. It was completely different from his usual attitude in front of Jun Qianxi.
What kind of person is the King of Qi? He has many female confidantes all over the capital. When did he become so humble?
As he spoke, his almond-shaped eyes kept looking at the woman next to him, and he was so uneasy that he didn't know what to do with his hands.
The woman pursed her lips slightly, and after a moment, she opened her red lips slightly, "Your Highness, I told you earlier at the Crane Tower that you are Yue'er's friend. Now that you know her identity, perhaps you despise Yue'er and no longer want to be her friend."
Nangong Jun felt itchy in his heart. Sure enough, Yue'er was different from other women. He was just overthinking it.
Nangong Jun suddenly felt that Yue'er was the only true love in his life, and he looked at Rong Yue attentively.
Rong Yue's eyes rolled around, and before he could say anything, she knew what he was thinking. These men are so narcissistic.
"Your Highness actually lied to Yue'er. If anything happens in the future, please forgive Yue'er once." The beauty's eyes turned slightly. Nangong Jun wanted to dig out his heart for the beauty, and also expressed his determination, "I promise you, a gentleman's word is as good as gold."
He took out his jade pendant and placed it solemnly in Rong Yue's hand.
Rong Yue touched the texture of the jade and found it should be top-grade mutton-fat jade, crystal clear and translucent.
It was already late, and Nangong Jun could only watch Rong Yue lightly get on the carriage and drive away.
Imperial Master's Mansion.
There was total silence, and no one could imagine that the residence of the Imperial Preceptor, who was second only to the Emperor, was even less lively than the residence of an ordinary official.
Moreover, the structure of the mansion is somewhat simple.
A man lay quietly among the flowers, the sunlight shone on his face, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his flawless white face, making him look as beautiful as a demon or an immortal.
There was a fishing rod next to it, obviously someone was fishing.
However, the fishing rod was just placed there casually, with no basket for fishing nearby, and it seemed that the fishing rod had other intentions.
At this moment, a discordant voice was heard, destroying the tranquility in the mansion.
"I heard that several teachers hired by the general's mansion have left recently. This has spread all over the capital." Yue Shiyi had just come from the market and heard a lot of things. He described them vividly, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.
It was the first time he heard such an interesting thing, and he couldn't stop talking about it.
Yue Shiyi's personality is usually noisy. Since he is the youngest among the secret guards, the guards above him treat him like an older brother.
But he is also capable in doing serious work. After all, those who can stay by Xiao Yiqing's side are no ordinary people.
Xiao Yiqing heard him speak so excitedly and listened to some of it.
Thinking of the lively woman he met that day, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I really can't imagine her making the teacher angry and leave. If it was someone else, he might think it was naughty, but if it was her, it didn't seem like a bad thing.
Moreover, many of the rumors circulating outside are false.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yiqing couldn't help but admonish Yue Shiyi, "You know all too well that many of those rumors are just groundless, yet you're here to gossip about them in front of me. It seems like you've been free lately."
Yue Shiyi's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shut his mouth.
But what happened outside made him feel uncomfortable even when he was halfway through his speech.
"An incident also occurred at the Crane Tower today. The King of Qi took a beautiful woman to lunch and happened to run into the general's daughter who had just broken off her engagement. He wanted to humiliate her, but he ended up being humiliated instead."
Yue Shiyi found out a lot of details, telling everyone what they said, and even imitated the tone of voice perfectly.
When the King of Qi broke off the engagement, the general's daughter became a laughing stock in the capital.
For a moment, I forgot how the Imperial Master scolded me just now.
But I felt better after I finished talking and then went to receive the punishment.
So the other guards couldn't bear to watch Yue Shiyi walking away happily.
Yue Shiyi, who usually has a good IQ, becomes like a woman outside when she encounters gossip and cannot control herself at all.
Now I can’t even control myself when I receive a penalty.
Although Xiao Yiqing said he would punish him, he also knew his temper and it was just a minor punishment to warn him.
He thought again of what Yue Shiyi had said just now, and felt that this little girl from the general's mansion had become smarter. She was not at a disadvantage when confronting others, and was much better than her previous fake tyranny.
Jun Qianxi, who was used as a topic of conversation by women all over the capital, was now happily holding the storybook and reading it with great interest in her boudoir.
The reason why she went out on the street again this time was simply because she had finished reading the storybook she got from her eldest brother last time.
This ancient vernacular book has its own merits compared to modern novels.
