Chapter 9 Listen to me blow you
After a while, she nodded solemnly.
"Then my brother gave it to Concubine Shu, does that mean he doesn't want her to bear you a child?"
The emperor lazily leaned back in his chair, his hands folded in front of him, his eyes dim and unclear, and he asked doubtfully, "My sister, do you recognize this fragrance?"
Su Yunyao didn't answer him, but just yawned lazily, "Royal brother, the dishes I just ordered, paired with a bottle of Palace Jade Wine, Palace Jade Wine, one hundred and eighty yuan a cup. How about this wine? Listen to me praise it for you, ah, praise it, look at my mouth..."
emperor:? ? ?
The emperor swallowed deeply, and the expressions on his face flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, finally stopping at speechless.
Her sister really hadn't changed at all, and was still as eccentric as ever.
After Su Yunyao finished her lunch with the emperor, she happily left the palace with the box of spices. The emperor stared at her departing back and shook his head helplessly.
Wu Jixiang brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. "Your Majesty, it's actually quite good that the eldest princess doesn't like Lord Shen. Lord Shen has always had a close relationship with Taifu Lin's family. Now that Taifu Lin has been confiscated and exiled, Lord Shen not only doesn't avoid suspicion, but also keeps close contact with Taifu's daughter every day. If he harbors evil intentions, wouldn't it harm the eldest princess if she stayed with him?"
The emperor said nothing, but just stared at the direction where Su Yunyao left, his eyes darkening.
When Su Yunyao arrived at Huichun Hall, there was a man in official uniform standing next to Huo Xiao. His followers were holding paper and pen, seemingly recording something.
"General Huo, I went to Misty Rain Tower today to investigate. Young Master Huo must have fallen from a private room on the second floor. The person who usually occupies that bedroom is none other than Miss Lin, the daughter of the Imperial Tutor, who was recently made an official prostitute. I wonder if Young Master Huo and Miss Lin were acquainted with each other before?"
"I don't know him." Huo Xiao blurted out without thinking.
"Just now, when I was at Misty Rain Tower, I also asked Miss Lin. Miss Lin said that she was meeting a guest in the elegant pavilion at the time and was not in her bedroom. As for why Young Master Huo appeared there and fell, she did not know the reason."
Huo Xiao folded his hands over his chest and bowed, "Thank you."
"General Huo, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
Huo Xiao was escorting the prefect of Shengjing out when he happened to run into Su Yunyao who was about to come in at the door. He was slightly stunned for a moment, "Princess."
Su Yunyao stared at the departing back of the Shengjing prefect, feeling very confused.
"He's truly worthy of being my brother. The men he employs are all so handsome and striking. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I always thought the Dali Temple's Shaoqing was an old man, but I didn't expect him to be so young."
Huo Xiao was very confused and looked over following his gaze. "Princess, are you talking about the person who just left?"
Su Yunyao looked at the Shengjing prefect walking away and turned back reluctantly, "Yes."
Huo Xiao was speechless for a moment: ...
"The one who just left was the prefect of Shengjing, not the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
"Hmm?" Su Yunyao frowned. "Didn't that person just now come to investigate the fire in Misty Rain Tower yesterday?"
"What's the problem?" Huo Xiao seemed even more confused.
"Isn't it the Dali Temple that handles all the investigations? What is the Shengjing prefect doing here?"
Su Yunyao's little historical knowledge came entirely from palace fighting dramas.
In her limited knowledge, the Shengjing prefect was equivalent to the mayor. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent for a mayor to investigate a case?
Huo Xiao: ...
"Princess, the Shengjing Prefecture Governor is responsible for maintaining public order in Shengjing. Cases like the fire at Yanyu Tower yesterday, fights, and casualties are all handled by the Shengjing Prefecture. Only matters that the Shengjing Prefecture cannot handle are referred to the Dali Temple. The Dali Temple's Shaoqing is primarily responsible for major cases, including the trial of important officials."
Huo Xiao sighed helplessly at this point, "Princess, as the eldest princess of Daxia, you really should understand the responsibilities of Daxia officials, just like the last time you mentioned military positions..."
Su Yunyao: ???
"What official position is it that requires this princess to personally understand?"
Huo Xiao: ...
Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment, and seeing the anger on Su Yunyao's face, he folded his hands over his chest and bowed, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Princess."
Su Yunyao walked up to him, supported his chin with one hand, and lifted his lowered head.
"Life should be colorful, but ever since I met you, I've been stuck in yellow."
Huo Xiao's body stiffened for a moment.
Her fingertips on his chin were like a ball of fire, making his cheeks hot.
In an instant, everything around him became quiet, leaving only the pounding sound of his heartbeat.
"Princess……"
Although he had no idea what the princess had just said about yellow, he felt that his mind was as tangled as a hemp rope and he couldn't sort it out no matter how hard he tried.
Su Yunyao retracted her fingertips and threw the box of spices she had asked for from the emperor into Huo Xiao's arms. "I have found what you asked for."
Huo Xiao's eyes lit up, his face showing uncontrollable joy and excitement, "Thank you, Princess."
"You're welcome." Su Yunyao patted his shoulder, "I'm not helping you for nothing."
Huo Xiao heard this, and the corners of his lips instantly straightened. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and saluted Su Yunyao, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will hand this thing over to the imperial physician first."
Leave it to the imperial physician?
It seems that her royal brother is quite capable and sent a royal physician to treat Huo Kang so quickly.
After the imperial physician finished examining the items, he walked in front of Su Yunyao and said, "Princess, please step aside. I am going to burn incense for Master Huo."
Then she leaves?
Incense should not be used as medicine, so it probably won't be healed in a short time.
It happened to be still early, so instead of waiting, I might as well go for a stroll on the most prosperous Chang Street in Shengjing, and by the way, go to the Jinjing Tower that was left to the original owner to see if there are any new hairpins.
Xu Mubai, the owner of Jinjinglou, saw the carriage of the princess's mansion parked outside, and hurriedly put down what he was doing and walked out.
"Greetings to the Princess, may the Princess be blessed."
"Get up."
Su Yunyao followed Xu Mubai into a private room on the second floor. The waiter in the shop brewed a pot of tea and brought some cakes.
Those pastries were her favorites, and I guess the shopkeeper prepared them specially for her.
I really can’t tell that Xu Mubai is such a warm guy.
Su Yunyao then raised her eyes and glanced at the person standing opposite her. He was wearing a dark green robe wrapped in white fox fur. His thick eyebrows were rebelliously raised slightly upwards. Under his long and slightly curled eyelashes were a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew.
He doesn't look like a businessman, but more like a scholar.
"Does Jinjinglou have any new models recently? Bring them over and let me see them."
