Li Wanfeng sat in the corner bored. "Father just loves to worry about things. Isn't it enough to have them in front to attract attention? What else can go wrong?"
As he said this, he waved his hand in dissatisfaction, "Why do you have to let me feed mosquitoes here in the middle of the night? Why don't you let my brother come?"
Suddenly, three people came out quietly from the back door, and he quickly hid himself.
"Go gather your brothers and set up an ambush first."
What's that accent? Someone from Xiyue! Li Wanfeng stuck his head out only after the footsteps faded away.
"Oh my god, there really is an emergency!"
…
After breakfast, two guests came to Qionghua Palace.
Concubine Meng had someone come in holding two boxes, followed by Concubine Xu, the mother of the second prince.
"We are so presumptuous to come here, and we hope Sister Shufei will not find us annoying."
Chu Yaoyao stared at her with burning eyes...
Box in hand.
[The rich lady who speaks for me is here again! 】
Hearing this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She had never lacked anything on a normal day. How could such a little girl be so obsessed with money?
"Little Princess, do you still have those two items?" Meng Jieyu looked at her expectantly.
Xupin also came over and lowered her head embarrassedly, "I want to buy some too."
They lived close to each other, and Concubine Meng would often visit her in the palace. Over time, the two of them developed a good relationship.
Yesterday she was not feeling well, so Concubine Meng quietly gave her a small package. After using it, how can I describe it? It was simply amazing! Chu Yaoyao was happy, baring her millet teeth, and her big eyes narrowed into a slit.
[It’s great to be a mouth replacement. Not only did it become a repeat customer, it also helped me develop new customers! 】
[Discount, I must give you... 99% discount! ]
"have!"
"That's great!" Concubine Meng excitedly pulled Concubine Xu's hand.
Concubine Xu hurriedly opened the box, revealing a box filled with gold ingots so bright that they could blind one's eyes.
Chu Yaoyao couldn't take her eyes away for a moment, and tears of excitement flowed unconsciously from the corners of her mouth.
[Shashasha, this pure color, this simple and unpretentious atmosphere...]
Concubine Shu stepped forward and closed the box. "No need to spend so much money."
Concubine Xu has been out of favor in recent years, and her parents' family rarely provides her with financial support. She can only rely on the monthly allowance to support herself and the second prince. You can imagine how difficult her life is.
But you can’t take the immortal’s things for free. At worst, she can pay you some money and it will be considered a gift from her.
"It's okay, just keep it."
Xupin knew her concerns and smiled shyly, "You'er opened a shop and the business seems to be good. These are all his gifts to me."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu was a little surprised. She knew that the Second Prince was doing business, but she didn't expect that he would make a profit so quickly?
But I soon understood that this is normal, after all, glass is a rare item.
Then she turned her gaze to Meng Jieyu, and her meaning was clear:
They have a son to support, why are you joining in the fun? Do you have a lot of money? Meng Jieyu pushed the box in front of Yaoyao and said, "Keep it. It's not mine anyway."
Facing the puzzled looks from the others, she explained, "These were all awarded by the Emperor."
Chu Yaoyao blinked.
[The scumbag dad is quite generous. ]
"Ahem." Concubine Xu gave her a look and tugged at her sleeve.
As if she had noticed something, Concubine Meng hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand, Sister Shufei. What I meant is that although the emperor doesn't like me, he is still very generous to the sister of his savior."
She emphasized the words "my savior's sister".
Seeing her nervous face, Concubine Shu covered her lips and chuckled, "I know."
The emperor once said that Meng Jieyu's stepmother wanted to marry her to a 40-year-old man as a concubine, but was stopped by her brother.
But her brother was afraid that he would be negligent, so he used his merit in saving the emperor to ask for an imperial decree to allow her to enter the palace and escape the control of the Meng family.
Suddenly, Chunshi came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."
"Please come in!"
Afterwards, Concubine Shu ordered Chunshi to take Concubine Meng and Concubine Xu to get the things.
As soon as the princess led Jing Xi into the house, she saw the two people leaving mysteriously with a bunch of things in their arms.
In the following time, with the crazy recommendation of her mother, Chu Yaoyao gained another wealthy woman client.
"Sister, mother took me to pay respects to my grandmother today and gave me many gifts. Do you see anything you like?"
As soon as Jing Xi entered the room, she stuck close to Yaoyao and called her sister affectionately.
"No need."
[Sister has gone through so much hardship before, but now she has finally gotten her reward. She must keep the good things for herself.]
After hearing this, Jing Xi blinked her moist eyes and was deeply moved.
"My brother told me that there will be a poetry gathering tomorrow at Xijiao Lake. Do you want to go and watch the fun? There will be a lot of big boats!"
As he spoke, Jing Xi stretched out his arms and gestured.
"Poetry gathering?"
Chu Yaoyao held her chin.
[Why do you always hold poetry readings? Aren’t there any other entertainment activities? ]
Xijiao Lake Tour...
Her eyes suddenly widened.
[Isn't that the time when Sister Zhao was taken advantage of by a lecher? ]
[That lecher had been coveting Sister Zhao for a long time, and secretly bribed a little maid to push Sister Zhao into the water, and then he jumped in too. He said he wanted to save Sister Zhao, but in fact he just wanted to prove in public that he had physical contact with Sister Zhao! ]
[Then let Sister Zhao marry her under pressure from public opinion! ]
[Sister Zhao’s reputation was damaged because of this…]
Thinking of this, Chu Yaoyao clenched her fists angrily and gritted her teeth.
【That scumbag! 】
Chu Yaoyao scratched her cheek in distress, [What is a scumbag called? ]
[I think his last name is Xiao? ]
[Oh, that’s Xiao Yuankai! ]
"go!"
She didn't get to go to the Lantern Festival, but she had to go because she had to protect Sister Zhao.
Outside the door, the smile in the eyes of the prince, who had originally come with Emperor Qixuan, had already completely faded.
He pursed his lips tightly, his jaw was tense, his long hands were clenched into fists with protruding knuckles, and he took deep breaths continuously, showing that he was suppressing his anger.
It was the first time that Emperor Qixuan saw him so angry. He was worried but also found it quite strange.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to keep a close eye on you tomorrow."
The prince took a heavy note of the Xiao family in his heart and gritted his teeth and said, "Father, can you let me handle the investigation of Xiao Yuankai?"
Emperor Qixuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Of course."
Because of the presence of the eldest princess and her daughter, the father and son, who had originally intended to get information from Yaoyao, had to go back first.
Jing Xi played with Yaoyao until dusk, and then left reluctantly.
Xiao Mansion Xiao Wentao took the letter off the pigeon's leg and burned it after reading it.
Under the candlelight, his face looked extremely scary. He gritted his teeth and said, "A dying man actually killed five of my trusted aides. Li Da, I will record this!"
After nightfall, Zhao Jingwu and his party rested in a dilapidated temple in Xuzhou City.
In the moonlight, a flash of light caught the eyes of the night watchman, and the silence of the courtyard was instantly broken by a scream.
"There's an assassin!"
…
At the same time, in the Qionghua Palace, Chu Yaoyao looked angrily at the man who had occupied her mother, her little mouth pouting so much that it looked like she could hang an oil bottle.
“Let go!”
Seeing her like this, Emperor Qixuan hugged her even tighter, "I won't."
Chu Yaoyao raised her head and put her hands on her hips, staring at him menacingly, as if she was looking at a class enemy, "Mother, you are mine!"
[It must be that the scumbag father is very lustful and wants to do this and that to my mother, and then that and that! ]
