337 Open the city gate, I want to enter the city
What is aura? Aura means that you don’t need to say anything. You just need to ride your horse forward and the people waiting in line will automatically make way for you…
Soon, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen arrived at the city gate. Feng Qingchen was still thinking about the follow-up cleanup when he heard the Ninth Prince say in a domineering tone, "Open the city gate. This king wants to enter the city."
boom……
The Ninth Prince's words were undoubtedly like a bolt of thunder from the blue, leaving everyone at a loss.
This prince? Is this a prince?
The people waiting outside the city gate quietly looked up at the man on horseback, with timidity in their eyes, and retreated one after another. It was unknown who took the lead, but these people knelt down in twos and threes, shouting "Long live the king".
The soldier guarding the city seemed to be stunned as well. He opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say for a long time. His legs were shaking and his face was terrified, as if he had seen a ghost. It took him a long time to find his voice: "No, no, I don't know which prince it is?"
The flushed face and beads of sweat showed that the soldier was about to collapse. If Zhai Dongming was here, he would definitely curse, "Damn it, another one of you is possessed."
Feng Qingchen shook her head and thought to herself, the Ninth Uncle is so evil, he doesn't know that scaring people can kill them. Although these soldiers are in the imperial city, they have never spoken to a prince in their entire lives.
The Ninth Prince did not speak, but took out a token from his sleeve. On the token was a nine-character written in a flamboyant style. Feng Qingchen found the token familiar, and then he remembered that the Ninth Prince seemed to have given him a similar jade token.
Uh, if she hadn't seen this token, she would have forgotten about the jade token representing the Ninth Prince's identity. She had never used it, and she had let down the Ninth Prince's good intentions. If she had known this, she would not have provoked the Ninth Prince. She had the jade token symbolizing the Ninth Prince, but she was still worried about not being able to enter the city. What an idiot.
The soldier guarding the city didn't recognize the man, but he recognized the token that symbolized being second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people. He immediately knelt down with a thud and said, "I didn't know you were Uncle Nine. Please forgive me, Uncle Nine."
This sentence was said very fluently. I guess he was so scared that it was an instinctive reaction.
The Ninth Prince didn't even bother to look at the soldier, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go, find your master."
A true superior would not bother to make things difficult for a small soldier, let alone lose his status by arguing with a small soldier. This is the pride of a superior.
Normally, such matters were handled by the servants below, and the Ninth Prince never cared about such trivial matters.
"Yes." The soldier almost crawled towards the small door. On the way, perhaps because he was too scared or something, he fell twice. He looked very embarrassed, but no one in the group dared to laugh at him, because if they were in his place, they would not be much nicer to the soldier.
This is the benefit of power, and only the Ninth Prince can open the city gate.
Feng Qingchen thought of the time when officials in his previous life traveled, traffic police would block the road, police cars would lead the way, special police would escort them, and the people below would be terrified and cautious and flattering. If that official and the Ninth Prince were like this, and suddenly appeared in front of a traffic policeman, when the traffic policeman knew about it, his expression would be similar to that of the soldier when he saw the Ninth Prince.
No matter in which era, there will always be a group of people who enjoy supreme privileges. She does not envy them but is jealous of them.
Not long after, Zhai Dongming and his men came running over. They rushed to the Ninth Uncle out of breath, not even daring to look up at him. Without saying a word, they bowed and said, "Greetings, Ninth Uncle. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
No one would doubt the identity of the Ninth Prince, because this is the imperial city, and no one is bold enough to pretend to be a member of the royal family.
Zhai Dongming was a soldier, so he didn't need to kneel down, just a half-salute would be enough.
"No need for formalities." The Ninth Prince was very cold, he didn't even get off his horse, he was very arrogant, but no one dared to say a word to him. This was the privilege of the royal family. Besides, the Ninth Prince didn't need to be like Dong Ling Zi Luo and others, who had to show their virtuous and benevolent side to the people below from time to time.
Feng Qingchen was locked tightly in the arms of the Ninth Prince, and took the opportunity to accept a greeting from Zhai Dongming and others.
Zhai Dongming breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the Ninth Uncle. Just as he was about to open the city gate to let the Ninth Uncle in, he found that there was a woman in front of the Ninth Uncle. Zhai Dongming was stunned on the spot, but when he saw the woman's appearance, his mouth immediately opened wide. He was more frightened than when the soldier told him that the Ninth Uncle was outside the city gate.
"Feng, Feng Qingchen?" Zhai Dongming ignored the Ninth Uncle and pointed at Feng Qingchen and said tremblingly, how could this be possible? Was he seeing things?
Feng Qingchen smiled bitterly: "General Zhai, long time no see." She had never thought that one day she would enter the city in such a high-profile manner. The man behind her seemed to not know how to write the word "low-key", or maybe he did it on purpose?
This city gate is most likely in conflict with her. Every time she enters the city, her innocence will be discredited. Feng Qingchen really feels that she is so wronged. She finally has the opportunity to use the so-called auspicious sign to restore her reputation, but in the end, because she rides back to the city with the Ninth Prince, this possibility is directly killed.
After entering the city, I'm afraid someone will start spreading the rumor that after the eldest son of the Wang family and General Yuwen, the Ninth Prince has become Feng Qingchen's lover.
"You, you, why are you with the Ninth Prince? When did you leave the city?" Zhai Dongming felt confused. Although he always knew what was going on between Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince, he never thought that one day the Ninth Prince would disregard his reputation and openly take Feng Qingchen in and out of the city.
What did the Ninth Prince mean? He seemed a little nervous about Feng Qingchen, but if he was nervous about Feng Qingchen, how could he not care about Feng Qingchen's reputation?
With Feng Qingchen's increasingly bad reputation, there is no way she can become the Ninth Prince's Consort.
Before Feng Qingchen could answer, the Ninth Prince said unhappily, "Do I need to report to you, General Zhai, when I will leave the city?"
"I dare not." Zhai Dongming was startled and quickly lowered his head, lowering his eyebrows and speaking in a submissive manner. He silently regretted in his heart. How could he forget that the Ninth Emperor's uncle was here? The Ninth Emperor's uncle was the most protective of his people. He had felt honored to be protected by the Ninth Emperor's uncle, but now...
Not everyone can withstand the wrath of the Ninth Prince, at least he is afraid of it.
He just felt unlucky, how could this happen to him. In order to remedy the situation, Zhai Dongming did not wait for the Ninth Emperor's uncle to say anything, and immediately ordered: "Open the city gate."
"Yes." Normally, opening the city gate should be the job of the soldiers, but the people who were going to enter the city today, the Ninth Prince and the generals behind Zhai Dongming, took the initiative to step forward one by one and directly snatched the soldiers' jobs. The soldiers could only hide behind them and bite their fingers: Sir, don't wait like this, you want to stand out, and we want to too.
As soon as the city gate opened, the people outside knew the identity of the Ninth Prince and did not dare to move, but the people inside were unaware of this. When they saw the city gate open, they started clamoring and were eager to leave the city. However, as soon as they opened their mouths to complain, they were driven back by the lieutenant generals. They wanted to rush forward, but were separated by the soldiers guarding the city.
"What are you arguing about? Line up one by one. No one is allowed to leave the city today." The lieutenant generals were used to acting like the boss, but as soon as they said this, they found out that the boss today was the Ninth Prince. They looked at the Ninth Prince uneasily, but when they met his cold and emotionless eyes, they lowered their heads guiltily.
Seeing this, Zhai Dongming had no choice but to step forward and said, "Ninth Uncle, something happened in the palace, so I ordered the city to be sealed off." Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen were sitting on tall horses. He was standing there, feeling shorter than him. Even talking was tiring. What a hard time!
"The city is closed over a small matter. What a panic." The Ninth Prince did not want to say more, but when he thought of Zhai Dongming's grandfather, Prince Su, he made a suggestion.
"Ah?" Zhai Dongming looked at the Ninth Prince in confusion. Was it wrong for him to do so?
The Ninth Prince said nothing. He glanced at Zhai Dongming calmly and rode into the city. Feng Qingchen turned back and shook his head at Zhai Dongming, saying silently, "It's okay!"
At this time, Zhai Dongming still didn't know what had happened. Feng Qingchen could only say that Zhai Dongming's intelligence network was too weak. It would have been fine if he didn't know, but the Ninth Prince had reminded him, but he still didn't understand. What a fool.
The crown prince of Xiling, the prince of Beiling, and the noble lady of Nanling are all in the city. If the city is sealed off like this, and someone with ulterior motives takes the opportunity to do something, Dongling will be in trouble, as it may have to face the wrath of the three kingdoms at the same time.
Zhai Dongming was confused, but when he thought about Feng Qingchen's character and the meaning of the Ninth Prince's words, his eyes lit up and he finally understood. He immediately ordered, "Open the city gate!"
Then, Zhai Dongming gave an order, and the city gate became busy again. Those entering the city knew the reason, and they were grateful to the Ninth Prince in their hearts, because they didn't have to wait any longer. However, those who were leaving the city didn't understand. After they left the city, the nosy people immediately went to ask people outside the city, and this inquiry was very serious...
"Your Majesty? The nobleman who just came into the city is your Majesty?"
"What? The person who just entered the city is the Ninth Prince?"
"Oh my god, it's actually the Ninth Uncle. Did I just meet the Ninth Uncle? That's really amazing."
"That's not right. Isn't it said that the Ninth Prince doesn't like to get close to people? Why is there a woman in the Ninth Prince's arms?"
"Yes, yes, who is the woman in that arms? She looks familiar to me."
"Feng Qingchen, I just heard that adult say that her name seems to be Feng Qingchen."
"Feng Qingchen? No way, the daughter of the Feng family? The Feng Qingchen who woke up outside the city gate in dishevel on her wedding day?"
"Yes, yes, it's her. I was wondering why she looked familiar. It turns out to be Miss Feng."
"This Miss Feng is really capable! She can actually..."
No one dared to say the following words, but they were definitely not nice to hear. In this world, if you get involved with a man, no matter who is right or wrong, in the end, the only one who is wrong is the woman.
It's like adultery. In the end, it's only the woman who is put in the pig cage. As for the other accomplice, no one will pursue it. The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen appear together. Everyone just thinks that Feng Qingchen seduced the Ninth Prince, and they will never say a word against the Ninth Prince...
Even when riding into the city, Feng Qingchen could hear some of the discussions behind him. Feng Qingchen closed his eyes and asked silently: "Ninth Uncle, are you satisfied?"
