No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 179 The Creditor Is Coming (Two Chapters in One)
Luo Junyao sat in the gazebo and ate the refreshments prepared by Feng Jian. All he could see were gorgeous flowers, colorful butterflies, and fragrant wind. It was really a good place to relax and enjoy.

"Sister Fengjian, did you come here in advance to prepare?" Luo Junyao lay on the table and looked at Fengjian standing beside him with a smile.

Feng Jian smiled and said: "The prince told the girl that our palace has a separate courtyard on this mountain, right?"

Luo Jun shook his head, Feng Jian continued: "Then the other courtyard was given to the prince by His Majesty Gaozu back then. Unfortunately, the prince has never lived in it. If it wasn't for this time... I'm afraid I would have forgotten about it. These few days Today, the slaves are in charge of taking people to clean up and repair the other courtyard. Earlier, Lord Duoying came to inform that the prince and the girl were coming to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers, and ordered me to prepare some refreshments and send them over. The other courtyard is not far from here, but it is still being cleaned, otherwise The girl can still stay for two days."

When Feng Jian saw Luo Junyao for the first time, he thought that this girl was his future princess. Now that he knew that this girl was not only his own princess but also the daughter of General Luo, Feng Jian liked her more and more and respected her more.

In the words, it seems that she has been treated as her own princess.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "The Prince Regent's Mansion is really rich and powerful."

"Where is the General Luo's mansion so bad?" Feng Jian laughed.

Luo Jun said: "Our family also has a few hot springs, but they are not here." Not only that, but Dad also gave her one of them as a dowry.

Thinking of the brochures her mother sent to her study, Luo Junyao felt a headache.It is said that it is only a very small part, and the rest of the mother is still sorting out.

Feng Jiandao: "My lord is often not in the mansion. Our manor doesn't buy many properties. Most of them were bestowed by Emperor Gaozu, the Empress Dowager and the late emperor."

Although Feng Jian is only a maid now, she was trained according to the standard of being able to manage affairs around the future princess. As long as there is no accident, she will definitely become the steward of the inner courtyard of the Prince Regent's Mansion in the future.Therefore, he often studied with the steward, and knew more or less about the affairs of the palace.

She heard from the steward who taught her that the real wealth of the Prince Regent's Mansion is not in the shops in other courtyards.

"Second Miss Luo?" A somewhat familiar voice came from outside the gazebo, and before Luo Junyao turned his head, he felt his scalp tighten and his back feel a chill.

This is... the feeling of a creditor coming to your door.

Seeing that Luo Junyao's expression was wrong, Feng Jian immediately looked vigilantly at the young man outside the pavilion.

Luo Junyao turned around slowly, showing a sweet smile to the other party, "Prince Ancheng, are you here all right?"

Xie Xiao stared at the innocent girl in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Nothing!"

"..." Sure enough, he came to settle accounts with her.This thing was done by himself not very authentically, Luo Junyao had no choice but to admit it.

"Sister Fengjian, let Shizi come in, you go out first and I will talk to Shizi alone." Luo Junyao said to Fengjian who was blocking the door.

Only then did Feng Jian move away sideways, but he still did not forget to give the other party a warning look.Luo Junyao waved to her to signal her not to worry, and then Feng Jian retreated respectfully.

Xie Xiao didn't know that this girl was from the Prince Regent's House, but felt that this girl was quite courageous.

Stepping into the gazebo, Xie Xiao stared at Luo Junyao condescendingly, "You tricked me!"

Luo Junyao said with some frustration: "It happened so suddenly, I didn't expect it... Well, I sent you a letter!" She didn't expect Xie Yan to come to propose marriage so quickly, and invited Princess Taihua to come forward.

Once the eldest princess of Taihua came to the door, how could she hide it.

Xie Xiao said: "What's the use of that?" Knowing in advance that she has a crush and might be engaged won't help him.

Luo Junyao knew he was wrong, "I'm willing to pay compensation, how about Zhaoyingjian return it to you?" Business is hard to do, cheap is not easy to be greedy.

Xie Xiao glanced at her sideways, "Is this son so bad as that sword?"

Luo Jun smiled apologetically and said, "Your Majesty is proud! Then... how are you doing now?"

Xie Xiao's expression turned pale when he heard the words, and he sat down opposite Luo Junyao weakly.

"After you left that day, I hinted to my concubine that I had a crush on you. As a result... as soon as the matter between you and the regent happened, my mother immediately arrested me for a blind date and told me to give up on you. Don't Thinking about robbing the regent."

Speaking of this, Xie Xiao looked at Luo Junyao critically.

Is he blind?Why do you want to rob someone of a dwarf?

"Mother is afraid that I will never forget you... The blind date is getting worse!"

Luo Junyao looked at him sympathetically, no wonder his face was so ugly.

Thinking of Cui Zheyu who met yesterday, Luo Junyao looked at Xie Xiao with more sympathy and affection.

This is also a bad boy.

"That..." Luo Junyao considered his words, and said, "You...do you prefer girls who are charming and bright?" This is a polite way of saying, Xie Xiao obviously likes girls who are older than him.

Xie Xiao will be twenty in the next spring, she asked Xie Yan, Cui Zheyu is 28 years old this year.The third year of the female junior holds gold bricks, Xie Xiao likes Cui Zheyu, so she can hold three gold bricks.

Xie Xiao's expression changed slightly, he stared fixedly at Luo Junyao, "What do you know?"

Luo Junyao innocently blinked his big eyes, "What? Did you dislike my appearance just now and think I didn't see it? Naturally, you don't like me like this. Or, do you like gentle and graceful people?"

Xie Xiao looked at Luo Junyao carefully, but didn't see any flaws, and then said: "How dare I despise the future princess regent?" At most, he just didn't understand the taste of His Royal Highness the regent.

Luo Junyao snorted softly, "Hypocrisy, I'm only sixteen, and the future has infinite possibilities!" She has grown a little taller in the past two months, and she may be taller than her previous life.

"Ha ha."

Luo Jun rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: "You deserve to meet such a difficult beauty and elder sister as Cui Zheyu! You can embrace the beauty? Dream on you!"

The two glared at each other for a while. Luo Junyao ended the boring game first, and asked with his chin propped up, "Actually... it doesn't make sense for you to do this, right? I wanted to say before that the princess is anxious to get you married. You really want to marry me in half a month." Can you find a marriage partner that satisfies the princess?"

The point is, can you handle Cui Zheyu in half a month?Anyway, hearing Cui Zheyu's tone yesterday, he doesn't plan to have any future with you at all.

Thinking of this, the look in Xie Xiao's eyes became a little unfathomable.

Xie Xiao's expression also dimmed a little. He had shown full confidence in front of Luo Junyao that day, but the results these days were obviously not satisfactory.

After being silent for a long time, Xie Xiao looked up at Luo Junyao and asked, "Why did you agree to marry the Prince Regent? Don't you think... there is a big gap between you two?"

Luo Jun shook his chin and said, "I don't think so. Aren't we a good match, a man of talent and beauty, a perfect match, a natural match?"

"..." Although he has traveled around the world for several years, Prince An Cheng still said that he has never seen such a thick-skinned girl.

"Don't you think he is much older than you?" Xie Xiao asked.

Luo Jun didn't care, "But, he's pretty."

"Your personalities are also quite different." Xie Xiao continued.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "But, he is pretty."

Xie Xiao couldn't help but twitched his brows, and said, "He is the Prince Regent, but you seem to be relatively loose in your studies, right? You... don't you think it will be difficult for you to get along when you get married?"

Miss Luo Er is a well-known dandy in the capital, she doesn't know how to be a famous lady, and she knows what she shouldn't know.

Luo Jun shook his face and said: "But, he looks good!"

Xie Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, "Are you only looking at faces?"

Luo Junyao was surprised: "Don't you look at your face?" Boss Cui is also very good-looking.

Xie Xiao was speechless, and after a while he said: "You can't just look at the face, right? Flowers don't turn red in a hundred days, no matter how beautiful they are, they will grow old one day."

Luo Junyao agreed, "You must look at your appearance when you first meet, you will know if you are suitable after you get to know each other. If you ask me these things, it is actually your own problem, right?"

Xie Xiao was silent.

Luo Junyao sighed, and said sympathetically, "If you were as good-looking as Xie Yan, maybe you wouldn't have these troubles."

Xie Xiao was stunned for a while before realizing it, and glared at her bitterly: "You are taking revenge on me!"

This little dwarf is so vengeful, didn't he just look at her a little critically?

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "No, I'm telling the truth." Makes you despise this girl!

Seeing her bright smile, and thinking about her messy relationship problems, Xie Xiao has no intention of fighting with Luo Jun anymore.

Holding his forehead weakly, Xie Xiao said: "How can I convince her to agree to marry me?"

Luo Junyao looked at him, "Listen to you, the gap between the two of you is quite big, are you sure...you will convince her, will your family agree? What if she agrees to you, but your family strongly opposes...especially It's Princess Ancheng, she is so sick, what if she strongly opposes you?"

Xie Xiao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I will convince my father, mother and concubine, as long as she is willing to join me, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it!"

Luo Jun shook his head, and said solemnly: "I heard that you have been traveling outside for many years. You should not be one of those young masters who are only full of enthusiasm and don't know the importance. There are some things in this world that you can't have both. If you must choose one of the two, How do you choose between the concubine mother who is seriously ill in bed and the lover who truly loves each other? Do you want to use the concubine's love for her son to force her to compromise, or do you want to make the person you like wronged?"

Xie Xiao was taken aback, he didn't expect this seemingly heartless little girl to think so much.

It's not that he hasn't thought about these questions, but sometimes he doesn't dare to think about them.

Luo Jun said: "The princess is anxious to marry a daughter-in-law. I believe that if it was only 01:30, you would have told the princess and the prince a long time ago. If you don't tell, it's not only because the girl hasn't agreed to you, but also because of you I also know that the prince and concubine Ancheng won't agree, right?"

Xie Xiao was silent, and after a while he said: "Then what do you think I should do?"

Luo Junyao didn't know either, who would have a standard answer to matters of feelings?

If Princess Ancheng is in good health, she might still be able to think of a way.However, Princess Ancheng's current physical condition may not be able to bear too much stimulation.

but……

"Now the point is, that girl didn't agree to marry you at all, did she? The prince and princess are in a hurry to get you married, can you still stand it?"

Xie Xiao smiled wryly, he found that this girl was quite good at poking wounds.

Luo Junyao looked at him and said, "Although...you are in a difficult situation, I still want to say it. If you are not sure that the prince and concubine will accept it, it may be a good thing that the girl refuses to accept you."

Xie Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "I won't give up!"

"Then...you continue to work hard?" Luo Jun shook his head.

"..."

Xie Yan turned around from behind the flowers and raised his eyebrows when he saw the two sitting in the gazebo.

"My lord." Xie Xiao hurriedly got up and bowed his hands.

Xie Yan waved his hand, looked at Xie Xiao and said, "The son of Prince Ancheng?"

Xie Xiao said: "Exactly."

Xie Yan looked down at Luo Junyao, "What are Yaoyao and Prince Ancheng talking about?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "Let's chat about some gossip."

Xie Yan nodded without asking carefully, sat down beside Luo Junyao, turned his head to Xie Xiao and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

Xie Xiao is naturally not a person who has no winks, and said with a smile: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother the prince and Miss Luo. Let me go."

Luo Junyao waved to him as a farewell, "I'll ask someone to return the photo to the prince later."

Xie Xiao smiled and said: "Taking pictures is useless to me. Since I gave it to Miss Luo, it is naturally Miss Luo's. How can I take it back?"

"How can I do that? I promise the prince..." Before Luo Junyao finished speaking, Xie Yan gently shook her fingertips, and said to Xie Xiao: "I heard that the prince is quite good at calligraphy and painting, and this king has one in his hand. How about giving Mr. Vice Kumei's authentic works to your son?"

Xie Xiao's heart moved, he was still a literati in essence, he had learned some kung fu because of traveling around the world, and the Zhaoying Sword was just a sharper weapon than ordinary swords to him.

But the authentic work of Mr. Kumei... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invaluable.

He is a smart man, and soon understood what Xie Yan meant.

The second girl Luo obviously likes the Zhaoying sword, and the regent wants to exchange the original work of Mr. Kumei for Zhaoying.

It can't be said that anyone is at a disadvantage, the photo is worthless to him, and Mr. Kumei's painting is not very important to the regent.

For the regent, it is naturally worthwhile to exchange a painting for a sword that his fiancée likes.

For him, it is naturally worthwhile to exchange a sword for a coveted authentic work.

It's just... He originally planned to give the sword to the second daughter of the Luo family, which could be regarded as a favor owed to him by the future princess regent, but now it seems that this plan will not work.

Also, how could His Royal Highness the Prince Regent be willing to let his fiancée owe favors to other men?

Thinking of this, Xie Xiao readily thanked Xie Yan, took his leave and left.

Luo Junyao was a little stunned, "Mr. Kumei's painting..."

"Yaoyao also want it?" Xie Yan said: "There is only that one in the palace, but there are two more in the palace, if you want to..."

"No, no." Luo Jun shook his head hastily and said, "I don't really understand these things, it's just that...it cost you so much..." Even Xie Yan's mansion has only one painting, which shows how precious this painting is.Although the original owner didn't study well, he still had some common sense.

Mr. Kumei was a master of calligraphy and painting in the Dongling Dynasty, and his plum blossom paintings are even more amazing.However, after decades of wars and chaos, the rare authentic works have become increasingly difficult to find.

At the beginning, Xie Chengyou also wanted to find an authentic work of Mr. Kumei, but the owner of this precious authentic work would only keep it at home for appreciation or as a family heirloom, and would never sell it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Even though Luo Junyao tried his best, he couldn't get what he wanted. It can be seen how rare this Mr. Kumei's authentic work is.

Xie Yan smiled and said: "It's just a painting. Zhaoying is also a famous sword handed down from generation to generation, but do you think Xie Xiao cares? No matter how good a thing is, it is only valuable in the hands of those who like it."

Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan seriously, Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong?"

Luo Jun said, "I want to give you a gift."

Xie Yan immediately understood what she was thinking, smiled and said: "Okay, I'm waiting for the gift from Yao Yao."

Luo Jun shook his head and seriously thought about the gift he wanted to give Xie Yan.

Xie Yan said helplessly: "Don't think too much when you come out to play, otherwise wouldn't this beautiful scenery be wasted?"

Luo Jun shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being, "Have you finished chatting with uncle? It seems that you haven't talked for a while."

Xie Yan said: "I didn't have anything to say, and I didn't expect to meet him today." It was indeed an accident to meet Master Mingguang today. He originally planned to pay a solemn visit to the Huguo Zen Temple when Yaoyao couldn't go to school. .

It's just that Master Mingguang seemed to complain that he didn't go to see him immediately after he returned to Beijing, and immediately came to block people when he knew he was coming to Houshan.

Luo Junyao thought about the unprincipled host master and said with a smile: "Master Mingguang seems very interesting, no one in the capital knows about your relationship, right?"

Xie Yan smiled and said: "Now Yaoyao knows, keep it a secret for me."

Luo Junyao nodded solemnly, "I promise not to tell anyone."

Xie Yan chuckled and said: "It's not that serious, he just doesn't want to see some old people. If General Luo asks, there is no need to deliberately hide it. But General Luo doesn't know him, so he shouldn't ask too much."

Luo Jun shook his head to show that he understood.

Xie Yan obviously has another uncle, but no one in the entire imperial city seems to have ever discussed the affairs of the Prince Regent's family.Even Princess Mu, because she lived in seclusion for so many years, only left a mysterious impression on the younger generation in the imperial city, and a little more is the former Dongling Shuangshu.

But what kind of person Princess Mu is, what kind of appearance she has, these young girls have no idea at all in their minds.

Some people even couldn't remember that there was such a number one figure as Princess Mu in Shangyonghuang City without being reminded.

Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan, something must have happened to the Yao family back then, so that the nobles in Shangyong were so secretive about this family that was supposed to be the regent queen mother's family?
"Look at what?" Xie Yan lowered his head and asked softly.

Luo Jun shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, A Yan looks good."

Xie Yan was startled, and soon laughed again.

He often heard her say that he was good-looking. If ordinary people talked about his appearance like this, although he would not get angry on the spot, he would definitely feel displeased.

In fact, Xie Yan, like most men in the world, thinks that men don't need to care too much about appearance.On the contrary, they think that it is an offense for others to talk too much about their appearance, and they are more willing to let people evaluate their abilities and achievements than their appearance.

But... if she liked it, it wouldn't feel too bad, would it?

"I heard that Yao Yao wrote a list recently?" Xie Yan asked suddenly, and then saw the little girl beside him froze visibly with the naked eye.

Luo Jun rolled his eyes and turned, "How do you know?"

Xie Yan said: "The future uncle sent someone to give it to me."

"..." Big brother hurt me!
Xie Yan looked at her with deep eyes, and said with a light smile, "Yao Yao's eyes are very good."

Luo Junyao forced a smile and said, "That's natural, otherwise how could A Yan be ranked first?"

Looking at her well-behaved appearance, Xie Yan knew what she was thinking at this moment, he shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and nodded lightly between her eyebrows: "Get rid of me."

Huh?
Luo Jun was taken aback, his eyes became bright instantly, but soon became a little wilted again, "If you are removed, what's the point of this list?"

Xie Yan smiled and said: "You can think about it, if in the future... if something happens to me, you will be the one who will be in trouble."

"Uh..." Luo Junyao was speechless for a moment, and after a while he said: "I didn't expect you to be such a regent. I haven't announced this yet, and you think other girls will admire you when they see it?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "If not, does it mean that your list is not worthy of the name?"

Luo Junyao was a little tangled up, "Why don't I have someone paint you ugly?"

Xie Yan said: "Others will think that you are intimidated by power and that your list is unfair."

Luo Junyao thought for a long time, but still gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't matter, who made me get the most beautiful man in the imperial city, and I should bear some storms!" She must insist on fairness and justice.

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"So... let's talk, you used my portrait and fame, you should pay me."

Luo Jun was dumbfounded, and after a while he said: "Can it still be like this? There are so many rankings in the imperial city, and no one pays for it. Besides, it is also good for your reputation." Do you have portrait rights these days?
Xie Yan said: "Do you think I still need to increase my reputation?"

Well, you are the Regent and you are amazing.

"Then what do you want?" Luo Junyao asked.

Xie Yan said: "It depends on the sincerity of Miss Luo Er."

"Divide it?" This thing is divided up and down, can it still make money?Although it was said to be a whim, but it can't be too far from the original plan, right?

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

This is clearly unsatisfactory.

"Then what do you want?" Luo Jun said quietly.

"Think for yourself." Xie Yan looked at her with a smile and said.

On the carriage back to the city, Xie Yan looked softly at the little girl who was still a little angry, "Haven't thought of it yet?"

Luo Junyao was a little depressed, "I have promised so many benefits, and you are still not satisfied. If this continues, I will lose money."

It doesn't matter if she loses money, the problem is that everyone did it together.We can't let everyone lose money together.

Xie Yan said: "Perhaps, you can think of other ways. This king is not interested in your few taels of silver."

It's not just a few taels of silver, if this thing can be done, the later income will exceed your imagination!

Looking at his slightly teasing eyes, Luo Jun rolled his eyes and suddenly jumped forward and jumped on Xie Yan.

Xie Yan quickly reached out to hug her to prevent her from falling.

Luo Jun shook his arm and looked up at him, "A Yan, please."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

Luo Junyao continued to cry softly, "Brother Ayan..."

Xie Yan shook her arm, smiled helplessly, and said, "You are really..."

Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Then you agree?" If she disagreed, she would have goose bumps all over her body, she really lost her integrity.

Fortunately, she is still young now, if in her previous life...

Alas!Mushy!
Xie Yan teased her for so long, and felt that enough was enough.

If you continue to toss about, you may not know who wins and who loses.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you." Xie Yan said.

Luo Junyao was overjoyed, got up and kissed him hard on the lips, and then sat back on his seat deftly.

Oops, here we go again.

"..." Who is at a disadvantage?
