Chapter 143 Mission
Yang Yanzhao finally waited for his sister to come home, and he was impatient to hold her arm, "Little sister, go to the garden with your second brother."
Yang Yanqi followed his second brother to the garden with a guilty conscience, and the brother and sister sat down in the pavilion.
"Second brother, what do you want to say in secret?"
Yang Yanzhao looked at his carefree little sister, his face straightened!
"Little sister, what exactly are you planning to do by introducing the Princess of Qin to meet me today?"
Yang Yanqi imagined how Luo Naocan would respond if he encountered such a situation?
The guilty feeling disappeared immediately and he laughed: "Luo Li is my best friend. She has always wanted to escape from the Qin Palace with the King of Qin.
I thought that you, my second brother, are a handsome man who values friendship and loyalty, so I wanted to act as a pimp for you two.
What a pity! Luo Li doesn't like you!"
Yang Yanzhao's face changed in shock!
He stood up and looked at his naughty little sister, and shouted, "Little sister! How can you be so silly?!
The Princess of Qin is of noble status, how can others despise, tease and insult her?"
Yang Yanqi defended herself unconvincedly, "How did I despise, tease and insult Luo Li?
She is the person I admire the most in my heart. It was she who took the initiative to propose to you, but you are not good enough, so she didn't like you!" After that, he rolled his eyes with disdain at his unpromising second brother.
Yang Yanzhao was simply irritated by this sister who was spoiled by the whole family since she was a child and had reached the point of being bold and arrogant! But he was reluctant to scold or beat this sister, because who let him spoil her since she was a child!
He suppressed his anger and spoke in a gentler tone: "Yanqi! It is said that a friend's wife should not be deceived.
You know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is not only a close friend of my second brother, but also half of my master.
My second brother likes long spears and gave up our Yang family's broadsword martial arts to practice long spears.
When I was a teenager, I worked hard to practice spear skills, but I couldn't make progress. It was after His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin's guidance that I realized the true meaning of spear skills and possessed the powerful martial arts I have today.
To be honest, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has also helped me and my father a lot in the past few years. Dear. You helped my father and I escape death and turn defeat into victory in the battle with the Liao army two years ago.
The success of Yanmen Pass this time was even more due to the help of intelligence from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin!
Yanqi, these things are top secrets that cannot be revealed! If the current emperor knew about it and aroused his suspicion of the Yang family, our Yang family would be in big trouble.
Today, my second brother told you all the top secrets concerning the life and death of our Yang family, hoping that you would know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is our Yang family’s great benefactor!
How can you be so disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin? How dare you pimp for the Princess of Qin...! "
"Pimp" is a word that is extremely humiliating to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and the Princess of Qin, and Yang Yanzhao could not say it no matter what.
Only then did Yang Yanqi know that the Yang family actually had such a close connection with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin was actually half of my second brother's mentor, and he was also the benefactor who saved my father and second brother. He secretly felt a little regretful, and his temper softened.
"Second brother, Yanqi knows he was wrong!" Yang Yanqi also felt a little panic and guilty.
Yang Yanzhao looked at his sister who bowed her head and admitted her mistake, and his heart softened!
The voice became softer, "Little sister, why does the Princess of Qin want to divorce His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin? His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin truly loves and cares for the Princess.
As a good friend of the Princess, you should persuade her more. Where else in the world can you find a husband as handsome, talented, wise, and broad-minded as His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?"
Yang Yanqi muttered, "I also think that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is much better than you!
However, Luo Li has always been dissatisfied with this marriage, and always wanted to get out of the fire pit of the Prince of Qin's Mansion after divorce.
I am Luo Li's good friend, but I will not stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to persuade and harm Luo Li. At most, I will not be her pimp in the future, and I will not do anything to let His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin down."
Yang Yanzhao sighed with a heart full of confusion!
[There are so many beautiful and talented young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, dreaming of marrying His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin?
How come this silly princess doesn't know how to cherish such a wonderful marriage? What kind of divorce is this?
I asked you to persuade your friend, how come it became a trap for her?]
…………
Before the results are announced, I will go to get closer to Kou Zhun tomorrow and trick him into becoming my father's disciple. Luo Li did not go to the hot spring villa outside the city, but returned to the Prince of Qin's mansion.
Ruhua was reading the account books on the table, and when she saw the young lady, she hurriedly got up and greeted her.
While rubbing the young lady's shoulders, he smiled and said, "Young lady, aren't you enjoying your stay at the Hot Spring Villa? Why are you back to live in the Prince Qin's Mansion today?"
Luo Li lazily leaned on the noble concubine couch, "I just missed you guys, so I came back to play with you for two days."
Yingchun rubbed the princess' legs and said aggrievedly, "You said you missed us, and we wanted to go to the Hot Spring Villa to serve you, but you didn't allow us!"
Luo Li stretched out her arm and rubbed Yingchun's head lovingly, "Yingchun, we have business in the city that needs you and Ruhua to keep an eye on. I can enjoy a few days of peace and quiet at the Hot Spring Villa, can't I come back to live here?"
"Princess, today Lady Zheng from the backyard sent someone to look for you. What's the matter?"
Ruhua also reported, "Lin Xian'er also came. When she saw that you were not here, she sat for a while and then left."
Luo Li leaned lazily on the concubine's couch, closed her eyes slightly, and asked lazily, "Didn't you think of a way to keep her and play a few rounds of mahjong to win some pocket money?" "We
kept her! But Lin Xian'er has learned her lesson. She refused to sit at the mahjong table no matter what you said." Yingchun was a little disappointed that the fat sheep had run away.
Luo Li closed her eyes and smiled, "Lin Xian'er has really learned her lesson. I can only use words to control her in the future, and I can only slaughter her three or two times at most." ...
In the backyard, Zheng Meiren, who was sitting at the mahjong table, was a little absent-minded. She raised her hand and hit a five-kui card. She only heard Wu Meiren's cute smile: "Win! A dragon and a five-kui card!"
Zheng Meiren was a little confused. After counting the silver, she said with a gloomy look, "I'm not feeling well today. Let's play together another day!"
The three beauties, who were still not satisfied, had to get up and leave reluctantly.
Lady Zheng leaned on the beauty couch and closed her eyes to take a nap, thinking about the task sent by the second prince last night.
The second prince ordered her to take the initiative to get close to the Princess of Qin, make friends with her, and report her every move to the Chen Palace at any time.
The Princess of Qin is busy running around every day, and she doesn't live in the Qin Palace these days. How can you take the initiative to make friends with her when you can't see her?
Did the senior sister who was lurking in the hot spring villa also receive this task?
I heard that the Princess of Qin lived in the hot spring villa outside the city these days. The senior sister should have more opportunities to get close to her, right?
"Lady Zheng, the Princess of Qin is back. You should find an excuse to get close to her and make friends with her."
Ling'er, the personal maid, was her boss, responsible for supervising her and delivering messages.
Lady Zheng had no choice but to open her eyes and sit up straight.
"Go to Ning Xinyuan and ask for permission! Just say I want to meet the Princess of Qin."
Ling'er, the personal maid and boss, responded, walked out, and headed straight for Ning Xinyuan in front.
Luo Li half-leaned and half-leaned with her eyes closed, enjoying Ruhua's massage.
After listening to Yingxue's report, she opened her eyes and asked, "What is the purpose of this Lady Zheng who has come to see me twice in a row?"
Yingchun said, "No matter what her purpose is, the princess is too lazy to see her and refuse."
"Let's meet her! We'll know after we test her. Ask her to come over." Luo Li ordered lazily.
Not long after, Lady Zheng came in with her maid Ling'er.
After entering the door, the two bowed to Princess Qin Yingying. Luo Li lazily extended her hand to help her, "No need to be polite!"
Lady Zheng had a warm smile on her face, and her mouth was as sweet as honey.
"Princess, you are finally back. I missed you so much after not seeing you for so many days!
This is a pair of embroidered shoes that I made for you. I am not bragging, but my needlework is quite exquisite. Please take a look and see if you like it, Princess?"
Luo Li looked at the overly enthusiastic Lady Zheng, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her half-smiley eyes.
She lifted up her skirt and raised her big feet, "Lady Zheng, look at my big feet. Can they fit into the exquisite embroidered shoes in your hand?"
Lady Zheng looked at the big feet in front of her, then looked down at the exquisite embroidered shoes in her hands.
An awkward smile! There was a flash of mockery and contempt in her eyes, and she quickly apologized: "Princess, I didn't expect you to have such big natural feet. It was my negligence."
Luo Li put down the big feet she was holding up and sat up straight, "Lady Zheng, do you think your three-inch golden lotus is more beautiful, or my pair of big natural feet?"
Lady Zheng flattered her without hesitation, "Of course your big natural feet are more beautiful!... They are naturally beautiful!"
Luo Li raised her feet with satisfaction and shook them in front of her!
"Ms. Zheng has a good eye!
My princess's big feet are so beautiful, so beautiful, so natural, so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful, they are really the most beautiful feet in the world!"
Ruhua Yingchun and other maids laughed so hard.
Ms. Zheng couldn't help laughing, she was scornful in her heart, but complimented.
: "The princess is so frank, lively and cheerful that people can't help but feel close to her."
Luo Li said bluntly, "Don't!... It is said that men and women should not be close to each other, but this princess feels that people of the same sex repel each other. Except when playing mahjong together, I don't like to be too close to women."
Lady Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The princess likes to play mahjong, and I am here to accompany you to have fun."
: "Did you hear that? Why don't you set up the mahjong table quickly?"
Yingchun had been waiting for the princess to say this. She responded excitedly and ran to the west room to get the mahjong tiles.
Luo Li called Yingchun and Yingxue, the two maids, to join in the game.
The four people sat around the table, all with their own plans, and played with great interest.
Yingchun won both rounds of cards. The silly princess who couldn't stand losing shouted to the outside!
"Banxia! This princess has bad luck. You come and play for me and win all their money for me!"
Banxia, who was waiting outside, heard the sound and came in through the curtain. Her face was flushed with excitement. She
sat down eagerly, "Princess! Just watch me. I will definitely help you win a lot of money!"
After four rounds of playing cards, Concubine Zheng lost more than two thousand taels of silver. The one who won a lot of money was Banxia who played for the princess.
Luo Li counted the silver and banknotes happily, and did not forget to remind Concubine Zheng who owed money.
: "Lady Zheng, don't forget to bring more banknotes tomorrow. In addition to paying back the 1,200 taels of debt, let's play a few more rounds. I will personally bring you delicious snacks." Lady
Zheng, holding two bags of delicious spicy strips and popcorn, also agreed with a satisfied smile.
"I didn't think about playing cards in Ning Xinyuan today, so I brought less banknotes. Bring more banknotes tomorrow and accompany you, the princess, to have fun."
After Lady Zheng walked out with her maid, Luo Li sneered at her back with a curled mouth.
"You are such a fool, you will be slaughtered tomorrow!"
Several maids laughed excitedly and divided the money, celebrating in advance that there would be more money waiting to be divided tomorrow!
Lady Zheng walked out of Ningxinyuan with her maid Ling'er and looked back at the gate.
Her eyes were full of contempt and she said sarcastically, "What a fool who is greedy for money! Come back tomorrow to please her and get close to her."
The maid Ling'er was also happy because she successfully completed the task.
"I will report to His Royal Highness Prince Chen and send someone to send more banknotes. Lady Zheng, you can use money as much as you want. As long as you can complete the task assigned by the prince, the prince will not be stingy with money."
