Chapter 323 The Concubine of the Imperial Prince 31
After much persuasion, Qi Baoying finally won and persuaded Xiao Junyan.
However, he was only compromising temporarily, and in his heart he was still thinking about persuading Qi Baoying later.
Although he doesn't have to attend the morning court today, there are still many memorials in the palace waiting for him to review.
At this point, the two of them had been talking for an hour and a half, and neither could convince the other. Xiao Junyan couldn't stay here forever, so in the end he took a step back and temporarily handled the matter according to Qi Baoying's wishes.
"Since you don't want to enter the palace now, I will wait a little longer. When you are ready, you can go back with me.
But it is definitely not possible to continue living in the Anfeng Palace.
Outside the palace, near the imperial palace, I have a garden called Hibiscus Garden.
It used to be a princess's mansion. After it was taken back, I turned it into a garden. I plan to live there when I want to relax. You can live there for the time being.
The environment there is beautiful and the place is spacious.
I'll transfer some more personnel to you, and I'll also send two teams of guards to you."
The more Xiao Junyan spoke, the more worried he became, and he gently patted Qi Baoying's little butt.
"You, you're just bullying me because I can't bear to force you. Now you're making me worry so much.
If someone gives you trouble, don't be polite, just ask them to fight back.
The guards given to you have all been on the battlefield and seen blood, and are hundreds of times stronger than those ordinary guards.
No, your status must be given a higher status, otherwise someone will come and cause trouble for you.
If anyone causes you trouble, just send someone to come to me immediately. I will support you, and you don’t have to be afraid of anything…”
Qi Baoying felt so relieved when she heard Xiao Junyan chattering on and on.
This little wolfdog is willing to worry about me, which always makes me feel warm.
After Xiao Junyan arranged Qi Baoying's affairs, he asked Qi Baoying to pack up her things and go to Furong Garden with him when he came back.
As for Xiao Junyan, he turned around and went straight to find the old princess.
Qi Baoying didn't even think about what he would say to the old princess or how the matter would be handled.
Just leave this kind of thing to men.
Since he wants to take me away, these are the responsibilities he should shoulder.
However, based on the usual practice of the Anfeng County Prince's Mansion, it is estimated that it can be solved by giving some compensation.
If the Anfeng Palace dares to ask for too much and has no sense, I'm afraid it will be finished soon.
Even if Xiao Junyan gave it to them now, he would ask them to return it later, and then it would be even worse than it is now.
Judging from the old princess's style and courage, she really doesn't have the courage to go against Xiao Junyan.
Although she usually shows off her wealth, she is also really timid.
Otherwise, it would not have been so long since Qi Baoying entered the mansion, and he only dared to do some small tricks secretly, and did not get any benefits from Qi Baoying.
Sure enough, Xiao Junyan came back not long after, and Qi Baoying had not finished packing her things yet.
Xiao Junyan said, "Just take what you're used to. Leave the rest to someone else, and my people can pack it up slowly.
Let's go there first, there's nothing missing there."
Qi Baoying's things were already in the box and she hadn't taken them out very often. It would just take some time to move them all out.
After hearing what Xiao Junyan said, he followed him and left.
When they arrived at Furong Garden, Xiao Junyan took Qi Baoying for a tour of the garden. After settling Qi Baoying down, Xiao Junyan left.
After all, there are still a pile of memorials in the palace waiting for him to deal with.
Qi Baoying sat in the house, watching the servants coming and going to move things, and then looked at the scenery outside. She felt so comfortable.
This is the taste of freedom!
In this yard, she is the boss.
Although it is still a bit restrictive compared to modern times, relatively speaking, it is the greatest freedom one can gain for oneself in this era.
Xiao Junyan probably doesn't come back very often. This is like his own territory, with a lot of servants serving him.
Occasionally, the man comes back and the two of them play some small games together.
Usually I just want to have fun and kill time. On a day like this, why would I need a bicycle?
After a while, an imperial edict came down from the palace, conferring the title of Lady Chenxuan on Qi Baoying, the first rank.
I won’t go into details about the various rewards, but the main one was that she was given two thousand private soldiers.
These private soldiers were separated from the large army that Xiao Junyan had fought in before.
Although many people have some disabilities, they are of the kind that do not affect combat.
Although they might suffer losses if they fought for a long time on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness would be no problem in protecting Qi Baoying in Kyoto. They are all real soldiers who can fight.
With such a team, plus the identity of Madam Chen Xuan given by Xiao Junyan, at least no one can put on airs in front of Qi Baoying.
After seeing these private soldiers, Qi Baoying did not treat them badly.
Let them go back in batches, and those who have families can be taken to her farm in Kyoto and properly settled.
Anyone in the family who could read could also work in Qi Baoying's shop.
Of course, these are all voluntary.
If they already had their own family business, Qi Baoying would never force them to send their families to her.
It is more appropriate for Xiao Junyan to control these private armies.
After all, these two thousand people are just a small force. If she could control them all, it would be a big deal.
It's fine now that she has a good relationship with Xiao Junyan, but if there is a conflict someday, controlling private soldiers will become a ready-made crime for her.
If we bring the relatives of the private soldiers over, there will definitely be more than enough of them on the farm.
Qi Baoying was thinking about opening some workshops in the future and making a lot of money.
No matter what time, you have to have skills that you can show off.
Even if you don't rely on anyone, you must have the confidence that you can live a good life on your own, so that you won't be afraid of any changes in life.
From this day on, Qi Baoying's life in this world was truly on the right track.
If Xiao Junyan is not busy, he can come back for seven or eight days every month. When he is busy, he can come back for two or three days every month.
At the beginning, he always persuaded Qi Baoying to move back to the palace with him.
After a long time, he realized that Qi Baoying was determined not to enter the palace, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
In fact, Xiao Junyan truly regarded Furong Garden as his and Qi Baoying's home.
Although the palace was also his territory, in his heart it was a symbol of his power and had nothing to do with the word home.
When he was in Furong Garden, he never used "I" to refer to himself, and always said "I".
My relationship with Qi Baoying is just like that of an ordinary couple, without so many rules.
I have cooked with Qi Baoying and also made a swing for her.
