Chapter 74 Setting up a stall? Fortune telling?
Yun Qingqing took the house deed, account books and other necessary items, and signed a document as Mu Hongling said.
She first gave some instructions and asked Mu Hongling to be prepared. She would come in a few days to officially change the name of Tianxiang Pavilion, and then went downstairs.
She saw Xiao Changheng waiting at the end of the stairs, staring at her with deep black pupils.
Yun Qingqing walked down the stairs as if nothing had happened, and seeing that he was still holding the talisman in his hand, she reached out to take it back.
Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows and put the talisman paper directly into his arms.
"Instead of applying a talisman every time, I'd rather just keep it and use it next time."
Yun Qingqing paused and stretched out her hand towards him:
"...Alright, the discounted price is one hundred taels."
Xiao Changheng: "..."
He looked at her quietly for two seconds, then turned his wheelchair and headed towards the door, saying calmly:
"Nanzheng, take one thousand taels of silver notes and give them to the princess."
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when the man's faint voice came:
Keep the change, please.
…
When Yun Qingqing walked out of the Tianxiang Pavilion, she was shocked.
There were hundreds of the palace's private soldiers standing densely on the streets, and there were no ordinary people or passers-by in sight.
She smacked her lips, suddenly thought of a question, and looked at Xiao Changheng:
"Why are you here? And you brought so many people with you?"
"...An assassin broke into the mansion. I chased him but he disappeared nearby. I just happened to meet him." A certain prince said in a light tone.
Nan Zheng wiped his sweat silently.
Your Highness, that’s not what you said when you came here. You were obviously mad at the princess for visiting a brothel!
Yun Qingqing didn't care whether this was true or not. When she saw the special carriage used by the Regent parked on the side of the road, her eyebrows curved.
"You came at the right time. I'm so sleepy. At least I don't have to walk back by myself." She yawned loudly as she spoke, lifted the curtain and got into the car.
With so many people accompanying me, I finally have nothing to worry about. It's really convenient to be a princess.
"I'm going to take a nap first. Please wake me up when you get to the palace!"
Yun Qingqing smiled and waved at Xiao Changheng, then lowered the car curtain and leaned back on the seat. By the time Xiao Changheng got in the car, the woman was already fast asleep.
Xiao Changheng looked at the little girl's defenseless face as she slept, and his tense expression softened unconsciously.
The secret guard in charge of her safety said that the princess had once shown her skills in fighting against the evil monk in Ye Mansion.
She always feels tired after each operation. She had been staying awake before. Is it because she can't feel at ease outside?
So... after all, I am different from her, and that is enough.
Xiao Changheng's mood improved a lot unconsciously.
However.
Later that day, Nan Zheng reported with a complicated expression:
"Your Highness, there's a new baby in the princess's yard."
Xiao Changheng:???
…
When a certain prince arrived outside Yun Qingqing's courtyard, he saw her walking towards him with a yellow talisman in her hand.
He stopped immediately and looked at her warily.
Yun Qingqing looked at him, then looked at the talisman in her hand, and burst out laughing:
"Okay, this talisman is not for you."
As she spoke, she stood in the middle of the yard, pinched her fingers and raised her hand. Several talismans flew towards eight directions and stuck to the courtyard wall.
Xiao Changheng vaguely saw several thin golden lines flash around the yard and disappear in an instant.
Yun Qingqing waved towards the room:
"Alright, from now on you can walk around freely in this yard! Don't run outside the wall, or you'll get hurt."
As soon as he finished speaking, two small figures immediately floated out through the wall, running around the yard with their short legs, laughing and giggling. If you look closely, your feet are more than a foot off the ground.
Seeing that Yun Qingqing did not stop him, Xiao Changheng also entered the yard.
As he walked through the courtyard gate, he felt refreshed, as if the air in the surrounding world had become fresher. He couldn't help but look towards the direction where the talisman was pasted, but found that the talisman paper had disappeared.
"What a handsome uncle!"
"Uncle, are you here to play with Sister Qingqing too?"
The two little kids stood beside Yun Qingqing and asked in a baby voice.
“…” Xiao Changheng’s mouth twitched.
You little brat, you clearly call Yun Qingqing sister, but why does he call her uncle?
Yun Qingqing introduced with a smile:
"Sixth Prince, this is your uncle, the Regent!"
"Oh!" The Sixth Prince immediately bowed in a proper manner, "Hello, Uncle!"
Another little one followed suit:
"Hello, uncle~!"
The Sixth Prince was unhappy:
"That's my uncle, not yours!"
"Huh... is that so?"
Xiao Changheng looked at the little girl with two pigtails. She looked only three or four years old, even younger than the Sixth Prince.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"Where did this child come from?"
"Oh, her name is Ye Xingyu, she is the eldest daughter of Marquis Zhongyong who died young." Yun Qingqing did not hide anything and directly told what happened.
Xiao Changheng's expression became increasingly cold:
"Such a young child, to have her destiny taken away from her?"
Yun Qingqing clenched her fist:
"Her luck has been drained away. If she is really sent to her death like this, unless she encounters some great opportunity, she will have to suffer for at least ten lifetimes before she can live a peaceful life."
"That's why I kept her by my side, to help her accumulate merits with me, and then I'll send her to reincarnation."
Xiao Changheng's eyes moved slightly:
"Your acquisition of Tianxiang Pavilion is also related to this matter."
"I guess so. The little girl needs merits to be reborn, and I need believers if I want to speed up my cultivation."
In order to heal his leg, her cultivation would need to recover to a certain level.
"How can Tianxiang Pavilion bring you followers? What exactly are you planning to do?" A prince finally couldn't help but ask.
"Of course..." Yun Qingqing smiled mysteriously, "Setting up a fortune-telling stall!"
A certain prince:?
What did his princess just say?
