Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 829 He is the emperor
Although she had a lot, she was still very sad.

But she persuaded herself that they had never said they liked each other, so he didn't feel sorry for her, and she had no right to be angry with him.

Now he suddenly said that he likes her.

Zhao Rui hit a straight ball, but Gu Yanxiao didn't know what to do.

Zhao Rui is not the father.

He couldn't live with just one woman, and she couldn't share a man with a large group of women.

Gu Yanxiao wanted to get up and leave, but Zhao Rui grabbed his right wrist: "Xiaoxiao, I like you."

Zhao Rui immediately stood up and forced Gu Yanxiao to look at him: "Look into my eyes, do you like me?"

"Does it matter whether I like it or not?"

Zhao Rui suddenly became stubborn: "Of course it's important. You are the first woman I like."

"But he won't be the last one, will he?"

"I do not know."

Zhao Rui was confused by Gu Yanxiao's straightforward words and didn't know how to respond.

Zhao Yu ran over, and Gu Yanxiao broke away from Zhao Rui's hand angrily and left without looking back.

She clearly knew that this would be the result, but she still couldn't stop her heartbeat. She knew that as long as she agreed, she would be his queen, but now she didn't dare to take a step back, let alone take a step forward.

What should she do?
Gu Yanxiao was so confused that he said hello to his parents and left directly.

She wanted to go back to Xuanyin Sect, where she had her relatives and friends, and where she could feel free.

When Zhao Rui came to his senses, he realized that Gu Yanxiao had left.

After she left, Zhao Rui lost interest in the next trip to Jiugong Mountain, so the group gave up their plan to go to Qinglong Palace and returned to the previous inn.

Zhao Yu didn't understand what happened, but he knew that his fifth brother was unhappy and didn't even hold his beloved rabbit, so he put his hands on the table, rested his chin on his arms, and looked straight at Zhao Rui.

After watching for a long time, Zhao Rui finally came to his senses: "Fourth brother, you don't have to stay with me here. I just feel a little uncomfortable and want to be alone."

"I'll accompany you."

"Need not."

Zhao Yu: "I'll accompany you!"

Zhao Rui knew he couldn't talk to him, so he said, "I'm hungry and want to eat your roasted meat."

"Really?"

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the stool with a bang: "Just wait, the fourth brother will bake you a fragrant and spicy barbecue, and make sure you forget everything you eat."

Zhao Rui looked at the time, but he didn't expect that half a day had passed and it was already dark.

No wonder the fourth brother, who doesn't even understand anything, is guarding him, because he is afraid that he will not be able to think about it!
What's not to think about?

These are the things that matter, either Xiaoxiao gives up all principles and becomes his queen, or he is strong enough to ignore the pressure from the courtiers, and she is the only one in the harem.

She couldn't do anything, and he didn't have the ability either.

Zhao Rui fell asleep with his head down, and when he got up, he finally felt that the air in his chest had loosened a little, and he no longer felt so blocked and out of breath.

He is the emperor and has the people of the world on his shoulders.

Not only feelings, but also responsibilities.

"Master, when we were having dinner last night, I heard from a cloth merchant from Puqi County that there has been a lot of chaos recently. The merchants are hoarding rice, grain, cloth and other things, causing other merchants to go out of business, and then selling them to the people at high prices, making huge profits, and the people are suffering. It’s unspeakable, let’s go there tomorrow and have a look.”

"Okay." Gu Qingjue nodded as if nothing happened.

The next day, they checked out of the small inn where they were staying and set out for Puqi County.

They walked all the way to the southwest. It happened to be raining heavily and the road was muddy, making it really difficult to walk.

By the time we walked from Xianning to Puqi, three days had passed.

Finally we arrived and found an inn. When Fang Mengfu asked about the price, his jaw was really shocked. He raised his voice and said, "How much silver did you say?"

"My guest, twenty taels per night."

The innkeeper made a calculation nonchalantly: "It's getting late now, and there are so many of you. There's no room for you anywhere except my house. Twenty taels is not much, and there are so many animals!"

"How much can an animal eat in one night?"

"Anyway, if you and your group want to stay, I have to free up the backyard. There are already residents in the backyard. I have to apologize to them, and I have to clean it again. In short, the price is not negotiable, and I can't live in it."

This is bullying them because they have nowhere else to go!

It seems that what that person said a few days ago is not an exaggeration at all. On the first night in Puqi County, I encountered a situation where the store was bullying customers.

"live."

Zhao Rui said: "Vacate the backyard. I want to live there for five days. This is a hundred taels of silver notes."

The shopkeeper took the banknote and confirmed it was genuine. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Don't worry, sir. You guys sit in the lobby and have a rest first. Xiao Linzi quickly went to serve tea, and then asked the kitchen to turn up the fire and fry a few times." Give them food to fill their bellies, good food and drink, and the backyard will be freed up, so you can live in it.”

Zhao Rui said calmly: "Thank you."

The shopkeeper didn't care about this attitude. He was happy when the money went into his pocket. Anyone who pays a hundred taels at a time will not have a good attitude.

The shopkeeper went to the backyard humming a tune.

In fact, it was just a casual excuse that there was no tenant. He just wanted to go back to his room, warm a pot of wine, and drink by himself. It couldn't be too nice.

In one night, I made one hundred taels of silver.

After giving the money, the waiter's attitude was not very positive. The hot tea and rice that were agreed upon were delivered half an hour later. It was already the end of the afternoon, and all the guests who had eaten in the lobby had gone back to their rooms, and they were the only ones sitting there. There, the raincoats on the hands of some guards were still dripping with water, and some of their wet clothes had been evaporated by their body temperature.

Zhao Rui didn't rush.

He just wanted to see how "arrogant" this inn could be.

After waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, the waiter brought a pot of tea, and not long after, two more brought food.

It can be seen that there is leftover food, but it is just reheated.

It will take so long.

It was obviously done slowly, and there was a suspicion of intentionality.

It was determined that they would have nowhere to go at night, and the money had already been paid, so the business could not go away.

Fang Mengfu wanted to slap the table, but Zhao Rui glanced at it and could only endure it.

They were eating leftovers here, and the young man who had just brought them water went to the backyard to report the situation in the lobby: "Shopkeeper, they didn't say anything, they just brought it over and ate it."

The shopkeeper yelled: "Which inn in Puqi County dares to compete with me? If this place is not full, other inns will not dare to accept guests."

The waiter said flatteringly: "That's not true. Anyone who dares to argue with our shopkeeper will have someone covering us."

Pan Yi stood outside the house, listening to the conversation inside, and twitched the corner of his mouth. No wonder they were so lawless. As Master Gu expected, someone was supporting them.

It's a pity that when you meet them, you eat them and spit them out with profit.
