[Chapter 33, Chapter 280, Princess, Please Have Mercy 9]
"Master Xie, why do you have such a sullen face? Did something happen on the way back?"
The emperor looked at Xie Yanqing curiously.
Xie Yan stood stiffly before the emperor and said coldly, "No, I always have this expression."
The emperor rested his chin on his hand, stared at Xie Yan for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Is it because of my sister?"
Xie Yanqing: “…No.”
"It seems so." The emperor continued to speak as if he hadn't heard Xie Yanqing's stubborn rebuttal. "I am very curious. What happened between you and the imperial sister in just half a day?"
The emperor was not blind, he saw clearly the eye contact between the two people at the dinner table.
Xie Yan remained silent. Under the emperor's gaze, he slightly turned his head away and said in a low and shy voice, "Princess, you want me to be your consort."
"...What did you say? Prince Consort?"
The emperor stood up in shock, completely losing his composure.
Little Dengzi coughed lightly beside him to remind him.
The emperor came back to his senses, straightened his clothes, and sat down again.
Xie Yanqing remained calm and continued to talk nonsense: "The princess was attracted by my appearance and fell in love with me at first sight. Apart from me, the princess has completely disdained everyone else."
"The princess told me today that even if I were to marry someone in the future, it would be me."
“…”
The emperor looked at Xie Yanqing suspiciously.
"Royal sister, do you really say that?"
"Seriously, I don't usually lie."
Now is extraordinary.
“…”
To be honest, the emperor didn't believe it.
But Xie Yanqing was promoted by him, so he understood his personality.
To be honest, it's unlikely.
Moreover, his face is indeed attractive, so it is understandable that the imperial sister likes him.
"We'll discuss this matter later. Right now, there's something I need you to investigate urgently."

Wen Shinian had a rare good night's sleep.
Not only her, but also A Ran, and the six women who came back with her.
Finally, they don't have to worry all day long.
"Princess, are you going out today?"
A Ran was helping Wen Shinian wash and dress, and thinking of the delicious food she had eaten yesterday, she couldn't help but feel a little greedy.
Li Country is close to the desert, with scarce supplies and a monotonous diet, unlike Yun Country, where there are hundreds of flavors of pastries alone.
A Ran wanted to eat something else.
"Well, call the butler over later to find out about the silver first."
Ah Ran's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and gave orders to the maid who was already in the mansion.
"Go and call the butler."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The maid bowed and left, and soon she returned with the housekeeper.
"Meet the Princess."
The housekeeper still had the account book in his hand. After paying his respects, he handed the account book to Wen Shinian.
Wen Shinian opened the first page, took a look, and was about to turn the page.
Wait, she just saw the total assets, how much is it?
Wen Shinian returned again, his eyes widening as he looked.
A lot, a lot, a lot, and the unit is: gold.
"These were prepared for you by the Emperor when he bought the mansion."
"Also, this is the Emperor's token. The Emperor means that if the Princess feels that it is not enough, she can go to his private vault and choose from it herself. Even if it is empty, it is still acceptable."
The butler handed over a token made of pure gold.
Wen Shinian took it with a mixture of laughter and tears, and stroked the dragon pattern on it with his fingertips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
This was really too defenseless for her.
Even if she is my biological sister, how can I be sure that she is still the same as she was in childhood if I haven't seen her for several years?
This made it difficult for her to take action.
Originally, she wanted to try being a Wu Zetian.
"I understand. Go down."
Wen Shinian waved everyone away and stroked the token in his hand.
"What is the princess thinking?"
"Well, I was wondering if this little brother of mine is a bit silly."
"Aran thinks it's good. He's nice to the princess, so he's a good man."
Wen Shinian looked at the person behind him through the bronze mirror, his smile somewhat helpless.
After a while, she put away the token.
"Yeah, he's a good guy."
Otherwise, Xie Yanqing in his previous life would not have let him go alone.
"Let's go, we have money now, we can buy a lot of food."
Ah Ran's eyes lit up, and he followed Wen Shinian happily. He was so excited that he wanted to carry a sack on his back.
Wen Shinian didn't bring anyone else except A'ran.
She was dressed modestly, in plain clothes and without any hair accessories on her head.
It's not that she dressed like this on purpose, but she had gotten used to it over the years. She would be even more uncomfortable if she suddenly dressed in fancy clothes and wore a head full of pearl hairpins.
However, there is a drawback to wearing this way.
"This young lady looks unfamiliar. Are you new to Yuncheng? I know Yuncheng well. Would you like me to take you out for fun?"
Disadvantage - meeting idiots.
Wen Shinian looked at the greasy man in front of him expressionlessly and began to think about where to start.
As she looked at the man, the greasy man became more confident.
With the alpaca hairstyle on his forehead, his narrow eyes tilted upwards, and his lips pouting, everything looked so funny.
Ah Ran stood in front of her and saw the man's deliberate behavior. He said with disgust, "Are you sick? Get out of the way!"
The man's face, which he thought was handsome, froze, and he was deeply hurt by the disgust on Ah Ran's face.
He immediately jumped up and down, "You lowly person! What does the master's words have to do with you, a servant? Get out of here right now! Otherwise, this young master will make you pay!"
Ah Ran didn't say anything, just glanced at him up and down.
This glance made the man even more furious.
"Shame on you! Do you know who I am?" the man proudly pointed his thumb at himself. "This young master's aunt is the Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother?"
Wen Shinian couldn't help but look at the man again.
The man thought Wen Shinian was scared, so he puffed out his chest and raised his head, becoming even more proud.
"What do you think? Are you scared now? If you follow me obediently, I will ensure that you will have plenty of food and clothing for the rest of your life!"
I didn't expect that just going out would trigger such a big surprise.
It’s really great.
Wen Shinian's smile deepened, and he pushed aside Ah Ran who was blocking his way.
"OK."
The man didn't expect Wen Shinian to be so sensible.
He rubbed his hands like a fly rubbing its legs, and his lustful eyes looked at Wen Shinian wantonly.
The people who had been watching for a long time felt a little sorry when they saw this.
But the man had been doing evil for a long time, and those who opposed him were either killed or crippled. They could no longer bear it, nor did they have the courage to stand up.
In the end, she could only watch Wen Shinian being taken away by him.
"What a sin! Such a good girl, I'm afraid she's in great danger."
Some people left with regret and deep sorrow.
Some people just regarded it as a good show and didn't have any feelings about it.
Wen Shinian, who followed the man out, was taken to a private room in a restaurant.
Judging from the furnishings in the house, there are many personal belongings. I think he is a regular customer of this restaurant.
When you walk inside, the furnishings in the room suddenly change.
Next to the bed, there was a wall with various torture instruments hanging on it.
Wen Shinian went forward and looked at them one by one.
There were many utensils with blood stains that had not been cleaned up.
Behind her, the man had a crazy and obscene expression on his face, breathing heavily, and his breath was sticky and disgusting, approaching her.
"My little beauty, the young master is here!"
The man opened his mouth and stretched out his hand as he rushed towards Wen Shinian.
