Chapter 2 My Good Grandson
Qin Jinzhi was constantly targeted for assassination from a young age.
She is the only bloodline of the Prince of Zhenbei.
Many people want her dead.
The Prince of Zhenbei went to great lengths to find four maids to protect her safety.
All four of them possessed extraordinary skills and were highly proficient in martial arts.
Lark is one of them.
The white figure appeared in front of Xiao Chuan in an instant.
He struck Xiao Chuan in the face with a single palm strike.
He then kicked him to the ground.
Xiao Chuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Qin Jinzhi! You shameless woman, how dare you touch me!"
However, as Xiao Chuan spoke, blood and saliva spurted out together.
It's a bit drafty.
His front tooth is gone!
Everyone looked up at the ground and saw Xiao Chuan's front teeth in the blood.
Their faces showed panic as they looked at Qin Jinzhi.
This is insane!
Qin Jinzhi has gone mad!
She dared to knock out the prince's front tooth in the street as soon as she got back!
Does she even know what she's doing?
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "If I call you an idiot, you have to demonstrate what an idiot is. You're already lying on the ground, do you think I'd dare to do that?"
Xiao Chuan struggled to his feet, shouting, "I'll kill you!"
He was about to rush over when his henchmen immediately stopped him.
I thought that Qin Jinzhi would definitely behave herself after being driven out of the capital and returning!
Xiao Chuan said he was going to teach Qin Jinzhi a lesson, so they naturally followed along happily.
Who knew that Qin Jinzhi was even more arrogant than before, daring to knock out a prince's teeth right in the street!
That maid was incredibly skilled; the guards were no match for her.
If anything were to happen to Xiao Chuan, Consort Shen would surely take their lives.
Qin Jinzhi looked at this rabble with a calm expression. "You were involved in this tripwire too?"
The group of spoiled brats didn't dare to speak for a moment.
She even dared to hit princes, so what are they compared to her?
Qin Jinzhi immediately burst out laughing, "A bunch of cowards who dare to do things but not to admit them."
"Smack!"
A whip cracked, and the white horse leaped up, knocking a group of people to the ground.
Then a boastful voice rang out, "Just wait until this princess comes knocking on their door to settle accounts one by one!"
The lark's figure also disappeared without anyone noticing.
Many people are starting to panic.
"What do we do? That devil is coming after us!"
"What are you panicking for! The Seventeenth Prince will protect us!"
"That's right. As long as the Seventeenth Prince returns to the palace to find Consort Shen, Consort Shen will definitely avenge us."
The person who was worried kept wondering to himself, "Is Qin Jinzhi really afraid of Consort Shen and the Seventeenth Prince?"
As Xiao Chuan watched Qin Jinzhi's retreating figure, he kicked over a street stall in a fit of impotent rage!
"Let's go back to the palace and find Mother Consort!"
Qin Jinzhi did not return to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, but instead rode her horse all the way to the palace gate.
His Majesty had issued an edict early on, ordering her to come directly to the palace for an audience.
Her grandfather was also waiting for her to reunite in the palace.
The imperial guards at the palace gate were shocked to see Qin Jinzhi. Why had their ancestor returned?
They even dared to ride their horses in front of the palace gates!
The imperial guards standing watch at the palace gates quickly stepped forward, "Greetings, Princess."
Qin Jinzhi dismounted and said to those behind her, "Yun Que, take Liu Yun back to the manor."
She should be staying overnight in the palace tonight; some people must be missing her terribly.
The lark reappeared silently, leading the reins and heading towards the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
A somewhat unfamiliar face stepped forward and said, "Riding a horse in front of the palace gate is a serious crime!"
Just then, a guard came running from not far away, saying as he ran, "Shut up! This is Princess Jinzhi!"
He then quickly said, "Princess, he's new here and doesn't know any better. Is Your Highness going to the palace?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at the man and asked, "Li Jin? It's been three years, why are you still guarding the gate?"
Li Jin said with a grin, "Your Highness is making fun of me. Shall I call for a palanquin for you?"
That's a joke. Anyone who gets to guard the palace gates has to squeeze out a spot from among countless people.
Here, without family connections, how could a nobody like him have any chance of promotion?
Qin Jinzhi looked at Li Jin's usual smooth-talking manner and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait."
The guard who had stopped Qin Jinzhi caught up with her, looking puzzled, and asked, "Brother Li, the palanquin requires the permission of His Majesty and the nobles in the palace. How could you use it without authorization!"
Li Jin explained in a low voice, "You're new here and don't know, but His Majesty dotes on this little princess the most. He's raised her since she was a child. Keep your eyes open in the future and don't get into trouble!"
Not to mention the imperial palanquin, even the imperial dragon palanquin was ridden by this princess countless times when she was a child.
The palanquin arrived quickly, and even brought fruits and snacks.
Qin Jinzhi glanced at it, then casually pulled a gold-inlaid jade pendant from her waist and tossed it into the hand of the guard on her right.
Li Jin accepted it with a smile.
"Thank you for the gift, Princess!"
The young guard, who had been speaking so righteously just moments before, was dumbfounded. This gold-inlaid jade, worth a thousand taels of silver, had been given away so casually!
Li Jin watched Qin Jinzhi leave and said to the young guard, "Learn from him."
The palanquin was carried directly to the Imperial Garden.
During the hot summer days, His Majesty often holds discussions with his ministers in the Imperial Garden at this time.
A young eunuch approached and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Jinzhi requests an audience."
An elderly man with a full head of white hair but a dignified bearing suddenly stood up.
"Let me see my precious grandson!"
Many of the ministers in the council looked displeased, mostly because Qin Jinzhi had complained to His Majesty and asked him to uphold justice.
Qin Jinzhi was a real troublemaker. Three years ago, when Qin Jinzhi was driven out of the capital, they all got their revenge. They didn't know how the Prince of Zhenbei could call this "good grandson"!
The palanquin slowly came to a stop in front of the crowd, and the person on the palanquin covered his face with a folding fan.
She actually fell asleep on the palanquin.
Everyone was immediately outraged; this was utterly disrespectful to His Majesty!
Qin Ye felt a pang of heartache seeing his granddaughter sleeping without anyone fanning her.
"What's wrong with you all? You didn't even fan my sleeping grandson! This is going to kill my heart!"
He strode forward, came to the palanquin, and called out in a fawning voice, "My dear grandson, wake up and see who your grandfather is?"
It's her grandfather!
Who would have thought that this old man, who looks like he's coaxing a three-year-old, is actually the Prince of Zhenbei, who has killed enemy generals from eleven cities in succession!
Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Cui was furious. "Your Majesty! This princess is still so unruly. To behave so disrespectfully in front of Your Majesty is a great disrespect!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye said in a low but urgent voice, "Keep your voice down! You're scaring my precious grandson!"
Just then, Qin Jinzhi slowly raised her hand, took off her folding fan, opened one eye, and said impatiently, "So noisy!"
Qin Ye looked at him like he was a criminal and said, "Look at you, I told you to keep your voice down, you woke up my precious grandson."
Prime Minister Cui looked at him like he was a ghost. "You old fool, do you want to hear what you're saying?"
The ministers couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the Prince of Zhenbei was spoiling the little princess far too much!
A doting mother often spoils her son; no wonder that little princess developed such an unruly and dissolute personality.
It was His Majesty's voice that came through: "Prime Minister Cui, do not be angry. I will teach this scoundrel a lesson for you in a moment!"
Prime Minister Cui turned his head sharply, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!
Your Majesty, you didn't intend to teach this scoundrel a lesson!
Why are you speaking so softly?
