Chapter 394 Princess Zhaoren’s Request
"What I'm worried about now is that Jiang Xiaomei will make some excessive demands, such as asking for money or cultural relics. We will compensate her as much as possible. But forget about coming to live in the Ming Dynasty! Don't cause trouble for us at this time!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"I don't know how to refuse her. She is in good spirits now and I don't want her to have any more problems. Come if you want! I am willing to take responsibility for it all!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Zhao Xiaokun glanced at his younger brother and realized that he was different again. He had changed from a timid little man to a man who had experienced many hardships. Now he had become a man who was brave enough to take responsibility. Zhao Xiaokun was quite pleased. Who wouldn't want their younger brother to grow up?
"Then how are you going to explain to Kunxing and Zhaoren?" asked Zhao Xiaokun.
"Kunxing should have met her, but I don't know if Zhaoren can accept it. Besides, Xiaomei and I are no longer possible. Xiaomei came here just to do something, and I guess she will go back after the excitement wears off!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Okay! Since you have made up your mind, you can solve this matter yourself. I will not care about it. I will set off tomorrow and join the second fleet from Tianjin to Incheon!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
"I understand!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
The next day, Zhao Xiaokun took Wu Sanmei and Kong Sizhen away from the capital and headed for Tianjin with more than 10,000 soldiers.
When Zhao Xiaofei returned to the modern era, he made an appointment with Jiang Xiaomei, asking her to meet him at the small courtyard in the capital to prepare for a trip to the Ming Dynasty capital. This was part of the Misty Rain Tower from hundreds of years ago, and it was the safest place to travel through.
"Zhao Xiaofei, why did you take so long to pick me up? After you went back, were your two princess wives so busy paying taxes that you couldn't even get out of bed?" Jiang Xiaomei mocked Zhao Xiaofei.
"What nonsense! There will be so many things to do when we go back! My eldest brother is going to the Korean War, why shouldn't I make some arrangements?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"When will the war be over there?" Jiang Xiaomei asked.
"Probably next year or the year after! After the rebellion in the country is quelled, it's time to expand slowly." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Fortunately, it's still urgent. I also want to be a female general, a queen or something like that! That would be so cool!" Jiang Xiaomei's mind is now full of thoughts of achieving something big in her career.
Zhao Xiaofei looked at Jiang Xiaomei and smiled, saying, "As long as you're happy, that's fine. But we've agreed that if you ever feel like life there is too hard or dangerous, you must leave!"
"I understand! You have so many troops protecting me, how could I be in any danger? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
Zhao Xiaofei had no choice but to bring Jiang Xiaomei here. He owed her this, a debt he could never repay in his lifetime.
Jiang Xiaomei also knew that Zhao Xiaofei felt he owed her and was afraid that he would become depressed again, so she agreed to everything she could.
I went to Yanyu Tower with Jiang Xiaomei, opened the door, and Xiao Si was waiting outside early.
Xiao Si opened the door and said, "Your Majesty! You are back! Who is this girl?"
"She is a talented woman I invited back. She has to contribute to the Ming Dynasty and even go to the palace to accompany the princess to handle government affairs." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Okay! Then let's go back to the palace now?" Xiao Si said. Does that mean that Your Majesty is going to take the girl back to the palace again?
"When I go back, you arrange a big house for her and arrange servants for me. Please make sure to take good care of this girl." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I understand! I'll prepare it right away!" Xiao Si said with a smile.
Zhao Xiaofei returned to the palace and was about to meet the ladies when someone came to report that Li Zichu wanted to see him.
"Let him come to the study to see me!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
In the study, Li Zichu knelt down and said, "Your Highness, we have captured Luo Yangxing and Qi Zanyuan!"
"Oh! There has been no news of them since the capital was recaptured. I thought they died in the chaos! Where did you catch them?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"In Gongji County! It's now Wanping County!" Li Zichu said. Zhao Xiaofei, now in power, changed Gongji County's name to Wanping County.
"They are so close to the capital, and you didn't find them! How come they have been hiding for so long and you didn't notice them?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness! It's all my fault. Luo Yang was extremely cunning. He and Qi Zanyuan pretended to be refugees and got land and houses redistributed by the government. Now they are farmers in Wanping County. They are actually afraid of being recognized and are about to run away! Because the people around them found out that they don't know how to farm at all. And they are lazy and eat all day long, but have money to spend. So the locals reported them to the government, hoping that the government would take their land and redistribute it." Li Zichu said.
"Are these two guys still trying to pretend to be farmers? They don't look like farmers at all! Especially Qi Zanyuan, he has no calluses on his hands at all. You can tell at first glance that he is a rich and idle man!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Your Highness is wise!" Li Zichu flattered him.
"The entire family of Luo Yang will be executed at the vegetable market tomorrow! After all, I still have to call Qi Zanyuan my uncle, so give him the dignity to commit suicide! If he doesn't dare, you can help him!" After Zhao Xiaofei finished speaking, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Yes! I understand!" said Li Zichu.
"Okay, go down!" Zhao Xiaofei waved his hand and let Li Zichu go down.
Zhao Xiaofei was about to go to Kou Baimen to see his daughter, but Zhaoren sent someone to call him over. He had no choice but to turn around and go to Zhaoren. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the little girl sitting on a chair with a pout on her face, looking angry!
Zhao Xiaofei forced a smile and said, "My little princess, what's wrong? Who provoked you? Tell me, or I'll beat his ass to pieces!"
"That man is the Prince Li of the current dynasty. Do you dare to fight him?" Zhaoren said and rolled his eyes at him.
"What's wrong with me?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"What's wrong? I heard that you brought that woman back? Tell me where you hid her?" Zhaoren asked angrily.
"Oh! I've wronged my princess. We had a pure relationship between a man and a woman. I asked her to come back to help your sister. She is the top female scholar and even more powerful than Mrs. Liu!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Sister said, I'd rather believe in ghosts than a man's broken mouth. Where did you hide her?" Princess Zhaoren was clearly unconvinced. Even if it wasn't a big deal, she still wanted the girl to live in her own yard. That way, she could keep an eye on her anytime, anywhere. It was better than having her husband keep a concubine outside.
"I asked Xiao Si to arrange it. I don't even know where she will live! I will send her to the palace tomorrow. If your sister thinks it's suitable, she can stay. If not, I will send her away. What do you think?" Zhao Xiaofei now coaxed Princess Zhaoren with just one word!
Zhaoren's stomach was getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't let her feel bad.
"Really? Okay, but first let Xiao Si bring her over so I can see what she looks like!"
