Chapter 349 Lifesaving Grace
When Shier Xue was led into the Prince's mansion, she was utterly shocked.
This palace is simply magnificent.
Twelve Snows followed the people from the Prince's Mansion respectfully.
A year ago, he had just become famous in Suzhou.
A big shot took a liking to him.
They said they could promote him, but not in Suzhou, but in the capital.
That's a place that so many people dream of.
He brought his opera troupe to Beijing.
That important figure was indeed powerful; he created momentum for him after arriving in the capital.
The Misty Rain Pavilion became an instant hit.
Many of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital came to Yanyu Tower to watch the opera.
This princess, who was in charge of protecting the country, booked a long room at the Misty Rain Pavilion.
I heard that this princess used to love listening to Miaotangchun's operas.
He once spent a fortune.
He became even more famous by leveraging the reputation of Miaotangchun.
The two families became enemies.
Not long ago, the manager of Yanyu Tower told him that the owner behind the company was planning to have him compete against Miaotangchun. If he won, Yanyu Tower would become the number one restaurant in the capital.
Suzhou is the hometown of opera. To be able to make a name for himself in a place full of opera stars, Twelve Snow must have some talent. If he hadn't offended a local tycoon, he wouldn't have only been a minor celebrity.
As expected, he won against Miaotangchun.
The shopkeeper said the owner was very satisfied with the result and wanted him to meet someone.
When he got off the carriage and saw the four characters "Zhenbei Prince's Mansion", his heart jumped into his throat.
Could it be that they're here to see the princess?
As she walked, Shierxue kept adjusting her clothes and hairstyle.
Along the way, there were many guards patrolling the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
The menacing aura emanating from him frightened Twelve Snow so much that she dared not look around.
He was led into Qin Jinzhi's courtyard with his head bowed. The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "This humble servant greets the princess. The person has been brought."
Twelve Snow didn't dare to raise her head; the moment her gaze fell upon the magnificent robes, she immediately knelt on the ground.
"This humble commoner, Twelve Snow, pays respects to Your Highness!"
He banged his head on the ground, and after a while, a chubby figure started circling around him again.
“Raise your head.”
After hearing this, Shier Xue stood up and raised her face.
Feiyan said excitedly, "Princess! He's even more handsome than that guy with ten thousand gold coins! He'll definitely earn a lot of money!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "You can start collecting the money once you leave the palace."
Twelve Snow was taken aback. Why did that voice sound so familiar?
Qin Jinzhi looked at Twelve Snow, who had her eyes downcast and looked terrified, and said, "I, the princess, have not renege on my debt of gratitude for saving your life."
Upon hearing this, Twelve Snow suddenly looked up at Qin Jinzhi, "It's you!"
Yun Jin, who was standing nearby, immediately said, "You mustn't be rude to the princess!"
Shier Xue shrank back in fright, then looked at Qin Jinzhi, who was dressed in brocade and fine clothes.
It doesn't match the image of that little beggar covered in blood at all.
Twelve Snow swallowed hard. "You, you are the Princess Zhenguo?"
Qin Jinzhi crossed her legs, and the dangling foot swung casually.
"I told you long ago, I'm a big shot."
Shier Xue's eyes widened, and her mind went blank.
!!
He actually saved the princess who protected the nation!
Qin Jinzhi, the biggest playboy in the capital!
Qin Jinzhi looked at him blankly and laughed, "The officials in Jiangnan have undergone a major reshuffle. The wealthy gentry who oppressed you have had their property confiscated and been exiled. I've brought you to the capital and let you perform in the operas there. I've fulfilled both of your conditions."
She and Liu Yiyi sneaked into Jiangnan to find out the cause of her father's death.
He was discovered and hunted down, and then his cold poison flared up, almost killing him in Suzhou.
Twelve Snow is a pushover.
His entire opera troupe consisted of orphans he had taken in.
Seeing the two people covered in blood, they picked them up and took them back with them.
Despite being complete strangers, the entire opera troupe was willing to save half of their meal money to buy her medicine.
Qin Jinzhi spent a few days recuperating from her injuries in that dilapidated opera troupe.
Before she left, she asked Twelve Snow what her wish was.
Shier Xue looked at Qin Jinzhi and simply said, "Then I hope you live a long life, little beggar."
Qin Jinzhi chuckled, "I'm a big shot. What gods and Buddhas can't do, I can do for you."
Twelve Snow immediately laughed loudly. Seeing Qin Jinzhi's serious expression, Twelve Snow stood up and said, "Then I hope that the people who bullied me will be punished and then go to the biggest theater in the capital to perform!"
Qin Jinzhi and Liu Yiyi left silently, and Shierxue secretly wiped away her tears and cursed the little ingrate.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jinzhi actually did it.
No wonder there were so many famous actors in Suzhou back then.
How could someone have taken a liking to him and even allowed him to bring his entire opera troupe?
It turns out that good people really do get good rewards.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Get up."
When Shierxue got up, she was a little unsteady, as if she were in a dream.
Qin Jinzhi pointed to the stool opposite her and said, "Sit down."
Twelve, with her delicate fingers raised, waved her hand and said, "Princess, this humble subject dares not."
He once called the princess a little beggar. I hope the princess won't be angry.
Yun Jin stepped forward and pressed the person down onto the stool.
"If the princess tells you to sit, then sit."
Shier Xue placed her hands on her lap and sat up straight.
Looking at him, Qin Jinzhi said, "You won the contest against He Chuntai a few days ago. You did a good job."
Twelve Snow immediately said, "Thank you, Princess. It's all thanks to you."
Qin Jinzhi said to the other maids in the courtyard, "You may all leave now."
Only Qin Jinzhi, Shier Xue, Yun Que, and Yun Jin remained in the courtyard.
The shopkeepers all retreated outside the courtyard.
Twelve Snow visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Jinzhi laughed and said, "With that little courage, you dared to save me back then?"
Twelve Snow whispered, "How can they be the same?"
Qin Jinzhi waved her hand, "Alright, be more generous when you meet people in the future, don't embarrass me. I called you here because there's something I need you to do."
Shier Xue looked around and found that there were indeed only a few people.
He flicked his hair with his delicate fingers, walked up to Qin Jinzhi, and knelt down.
"Princess, tell me, whether it's climbing mountains of knives or plunging into seas of fire, I won't even blink! I'm willing to die for you!"
Qin Jinzhi laughed and said, "Why would I want you dead?"
Twelve Snow was practically in tears, what a joke, the land deed for the Misty Rain Pavilion was in his name, Twelve Snow.
In this capital city where every inch of land is precious.
The princess bought him a theater.
I've repaid every life-saving debt.
The princess is his greatest benefactor!
He simply gave the princess some medicine.
Yet I gained so much.
Since the princess has given him instructions, he is willing to do whatever she asks!
Qin Jinzhi took a sip of tea. "I want you to fight Miaotangchun again."
Twelve Snow immediately said, "Alright, I'll go back and prepare for the new play right away."
Qin Jinzhi shook her finger. "No, what we were comparing before was stage acting. What I want you to compare now is offstage acting."
Twelve Snow was taken aback; he didn't quite understand what the princess meant.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Do you know what kind of news spreads fastest among ordinary people?"
Twelve Snow shook her head.
Qin Jinzhi smiled, "Naturally, it's the scandalous affairs of important figures in the capital."
