038 Refuse, be respectful in front of the emperor
Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince knew very well about the little conflict between Doudou and Xuan Shaoqi, but the matter had not come to them, so they just pretended not to know.
As long as they intervene in this matter, they will never be able to sort it out no matter what. With Doudou's unreasonable personality, he can find a reason even if he is unreasonable.
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen didn't want to cause trouble, so they simply turned it down...
As soon as Naibao left the house, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen turned their attention to Naibao. Although the secret guards could not follow them into the imperial mausoleum, they could still protect them outside the mausoleum.
"With the Eighteen Riders and the Snow Wolf here, Naibao and the others will be fine." The Ninth Uncle knew that Feng Qingchen had been extremely worried ever since Naibao set out, fearing that something might happen to Naibao.
You know, Naibao is not only the heir to the empire, but also the only heir to the empire, their only son. If something really happens to him, neither he nor Feng Qingchen can bear it.
"I'm not worried." Although she was worried to death, Feng Qingchen couldn't say it at this time. You know, she agreed to let Naibao go to the imperial mausoleum.
"Don't worry." The Ninth Prince just smiled and said nothing. It would be fine if the couple understood this matter, but...
The Ninth Prince's smile was so annoying that Feng Qingchen glared at him angrily: "Don't laugh."
"What? I don't even have the freedom to laugh?" The Ninth Prince asked with a raised eyebrow, the smile on his face growing bigger and bigger.
"Your smile is too dazzling." In order to prove his words, Feng Qingchen deliberately stretched out his hand to block it.
Palms facing the Ninth Uncle...
It would be strange if the Ninth Prince would let go of such a good opportunity.
He leaned forward and swept his tongue across the palm of Feng Qingchen's hand. The electric shock-like feeling made Feng Qingchen almost jump up, but as soon as she moved, she was held down by the Ninth Prince.
"Don't move." The voice was filled with laughter, and that laughter made Feng Qingchen feel embarrassed and annoyed: "I told you not to laugh."
"Okay, I won't laugh, and you don't move." The Ninth Prince responded readily, and without allowing Feng Qingchen to refuse, he held Feng Qingchen's finger in his hand...
"Let me go." The itchy feeling on her fingers made Feng Qingchen feel very uncomfortable.
She didn't like this feeling of being completely out of control. It was too uncomfortable.
"You're asking for too much. If you don't move, I won't laugh. Now... you want me to let you go. What do you want in exchange?" The Ninth Prince placed his hands on Feng Qingchen's shoulders and smiled wickedly...
Feng Qingchen swallowed and tried to move away, but her shoulders were held down by the Ninth Prince and she couldn't move at all.
"Can you please let me go so we can talk properly?" There's no way to have a normal conversation like this.
This man loses his composure once he leaves the palace. His subjects should really take a good look at him. What a cold-blooded emperor he is. It's obvious that he is a scoundrel.
"That's good." The Ninth Prince looked down at Feng Qingchen, and the hot air he exhaled all blew on Feng Qingchen's face, making Feng Qingchen's face red and bleeding...
Feng Qingchen was annoyed and embarrassed. He opened his mouth to bite, but he couldn't bite anything. He couldn't help but curse, "You are disgusting."
"It's okay, I understand what you mean... Women are hypocritical. When they say they hate you, they actually like you very much." The Ninth Prince played rogue to the extreme, leaning down and biting Feng Qingchen's ear: "Qingchen, I saw a good erotic picture book a few days ago. There are several postures on it. I have always wanted to try it. Do you think we should try it today?"
"What, what? You actually looked at pornographic pictures? When did that happen?" Feng Qingchen felt sick. The Ninth Prince was with her every day, so how could she not know that the Ninth Prince was secretly looking at pornographic pictures?
Wait, wait...is that the Book of Changes?
Feng Qingchen opened his eyes wide and looked at the Ninth Uncle, wanting to hear him say no, but the Ninth Uncle admitted it very readily: "Qingchen is really smart, he guessed it right at once."
"You...actually holding the cover of a sage's book and reading pornographic pictures?" Feng Qingchen's ears were almost bleeding.
Compared with this man, her level is nothing.
This man is so shameless.
"What's wrong with the sage's book? The sage also said that food, sex and nature are also human nature." The Ninth Prince said it with confidence. Feng Qingchen was no longer able to defend herself. Even if she explained to the Ninth Prince that food, sex and nature did not mean this, the Ninth Prince would not listen...
"Qingchen is so cooperative, are you looking forward to it too? Don't worry... I won't laugh at you." The Ninth Prince smiled like a fox. Unknowingly, Feng Qingchen found that the belt around her waist was missing, and the next second her hands were tied to a chair.
"Dong Lingjiu, let me go." Feng Qingchen was about to faint. She had never expected that the Ninth Prince would actually use the things in the Spring Palace Picture on her.
Please... They are all very old, not teenagers or twenty-somethings anymore. They already have two children. It is really too much for them to still play this game.
"Shh... There are many servants outside the cabin." The Ninth Prince's words took effect instantly, and Feng Qingchen did not dare to shout again.
"Qingchen really can't wait." The Ninth Prince got the advantage but still acted like a good boy. Feng Qingchen was so angry that he couldn't speak.
A night of... lingering. Early the next morning, Feng Qingchen got up with a sore back and waist, and decisively found the Ninth Uncle, flipping through the book he had been holding in his hands for some time...
"Dong Lingjiu, you lied to me again!" Feng Qingchen gnashed his teeth in anger.
What kind of pornographic pictures are these? They are all scammers. They are obviously normal books, okay...
"Hahaha, Qingchen is getting cuter and cuter. He even believes this." The Ninth Prince lay lazily on the bed, unable to stop smiling.
If the ministers saw this, they would definitely be shocked: this man with a lustful smile on his face is definitely not their emperor.
After tricking Feng Qingchen, the Ninth Prince was in a good mood for a long time, which made everyone on the boat puzzled: "What's wrong with the emperor?"
However, no matter how confused they were, they still did what they were supposed to do, and did not dare to ask any questions that they should not ask.
After Naibao and Cui Xiaoting and his party successfully entered the imperial mausoleum, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen also arrived in Jiangnan.
The Emperor and Empress went on a private visit in disguise, so the Prince of Jiangnan and the Prince of Qing came to pick them up in a low-key manner. However, even so, when the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen got off the boat, they attracted a lot of onlookers.
There was no way out. Four people with extraordinary temperament suddenly appeared on the shore. It was impossible not to attract attention.
In the crowd, there were a few guys with flickering eyes. After taking a look at the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, they quickly lowered their heads and blended into the crowd. After making sure that no one was following them, they immediately disappeared into the street.
"Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine were coming without informing me in advance. My nephew is not prepared at all." Prince Jiangnan stepped forward and saluted to the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen, while expressing his dissatisfaction.
Jiangnan has always been prosperous and its people are open-minded, with a lot of people coming and going. If the emperor and empress suddenly come to kill him, wouldn't that cause trouble for him?
The Ninth Prince did not speak, but glanced at the King of Jiangnan coldly. Feng Qingchen was very friendly: "It was a last-minute decision. We stopped along the way. How could you not come to Jiangnan?"
For both official and private reasons, they had to make a trip to Jiangnan.
The King of Jiangnan smiled and asked the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen to get on the carriage. The group headed towards the King of Jiangnan's Palace...
At the same time, those who were wandering the streets and alleys of Jiangnan also gathered together in a dilapidated private house to discuss important matters.
"The dog emperor and the dog queen have indeed come to Jiangnan. This is really a case of searching for something without any effort."
"Your Highness the Princess and the young master have been imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum. We must capture the dog emperor alive this time so that we can threaten them to release the young master."
…
That’s right, those hiding in the south of the Yangtze River are the remnants of the Lan family from the previous dynasty.
Although the Ninth Prince destroyed the entire Liancheng, Madam Min herself did not do so at that time. She handed all her cards to the Ninth Prince, so these people naturally escaped the Ninth Prince's massacre.
They were lurking in Jiangnan, and originally wanted to incite the King of Jiangnan to rebel. However, this King of Jiangnan, the former Crown Prince, seemed to have seen through the world and was completely unmoved, which made them, the descendants who were loyal to the previous dynasty, very angry.
The arrival of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen this time was a great opportunity for them. If they missed this opportunity, they would not know when the next one would come.
"Contact the spies buried in the Prince of Jiangnan's Palace and have them take action. They must grasp the whereabouts of the Dog Emperor. Also... keep an eye on the guards of the Prince of Jiangnan's Palace. The Dog Emperor is here, and the Prince of Jiangnan will definitely have to adjust his guards. We must keep a close eye on them and don't let anything go wrong at this juncture."
These people are very cautious and dare not take a step easily. It is this caution that has allowed them to survive until today without being found.
In the Prince of Jiangnan's mansion, the Prince of Jiangnan settled Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Uncle in the main courtyard of the mansion, which was the lower courtyard where the Prince of Jiangnan originally lived.
"This place is simple, please don't mind, Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu." Although the Prince of Jiangnan's Palace is luxurious, there is still a gap compared with the Imperial Palace. The Prince of Jiangnan did not mean to be humble when he said this.
Even if he possessed all the wealth in the world, he could never be the same as the emperor.
The Ninth Prince was not happy to talk to the King of Jiangnan about these empty and pretentious things, so Feng Qingchen had no choice but to come out and socialize: "Each of them has their own unique characteristics, I like them very much."
This is why Feng Qingchen is unwilling to come out. Because of her status, her former friends or acquaintances are now very respectful when they see her. Their words are distant and uninteresting. It is really boring...
"I'm glad that Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu don't mind." Prince Jiangnan and Prince Qing had been standing aside. They could not sit down without the emperor's order.
Not to mention that Feng Qingchen doesn't like it, how could the King of Jiangnan and the King of Qing like it either? However, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen are the emperor and the empress, and they have to keep it the same as before. Even if the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen don't care, the civil and military officials will still accuse them of disrespect if they know about it.
The gap between the emperor and his subjects can be bridged. Even if he is the local emperor of the King of Jiangnan, he must be respectful in front of the emperor...
