Chapter 117 I'm in trouble (2)
Once the news got out, the beggars and even the poor people in the imperial capital were all mobilized—a mouse can be sold for a penny, which has never been a good thing!Catch, must be captured alive!I want to catch all the mice in the imperial capital and send them to this unknown man.

Han Jianshi entrusted this matter to his most trusted entourage and his nanny Li Chengye. Li Chengye's mother was a domestic slave of the Han family, and later became Han Jianshi's nanny. Li Chengye was Han Jianshi's accompanying student when he was a child. I also value him and let him stay by my side to deal with some things that are inconvenient for me to come forward.

Li Chengye had no idea what the master wanted so many rats for, but he still put the collected rats for a penny into cages and fed them with food every day.

But within ten days, Li Chengye collected thousands of mice. Seeing that the cages were useless, he had to go to the third master to ask for instructions: "Master, the servant has already collected more than 6000 mice. Do you think it is enough?" ? If it’s not enough, the servant will have to get some cages. And those bamboo cages are still unusable, and those rats will eat them up in one night!”

Han Jianshi sighed very worriedly, and said, "Don't take any more, it's almost enough. Just wait for me to give you a message at night."

"Then Cheng, hurry up, otherwise if the more than 6000 mice escape, it will be a big disaster." Li Chengye reminded.

"I know, I know." Han Jianshi nodded repeatedly, how could he not know.

That night, before Han Jianshi could ask Han Qian, Qian Xun found Han Jianshi.

"Third Master, please give me those things of the little princess." Qianxun said straight to the point.

Han Jianshi looked at Qianxun for a long while before asking, "How do you know what Qianqian asked me to get for her?"

"My subordinates don't know. It was Lord Long Live who asked his subordinates to come to you, saying that the little princess prepared a gift for Lord Long Live, and asked his subordinates to come and pick it up tonight."

"Gift...a gift?!" Han Jianshi's eyes were about to pop out—thousands of mice were sent to the palace as gifts for His Majesty? !
"Third Master, are you ready? Your Majesty is still waiting."

"Pretty...ready."

"Then when can I get it?"

"I'm afraid...it's not that easy to take." Han Jianshi calmed down and advised, "Because there are too many."

"It's okay, my subordinates brought people here." Chihiro said, waved his hand into the darkness, and hundreds of people flashed out of the tree shadows.

Han Jianshi couldn't help sighing silently—he was naturally aware of the protection of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, but these hundreds of people came and went freely under the protection of the Zhongyonghou Mansion. His Majesty's hidden guards should not be underestimated.

Also because of this, Han Jianshi felt a bit of bad taste in his heart - you are free to come and go in our mansion, then I will make it possible for you, the third master - six thousand mice enter the palace, as for what trouble it will cause, you are up to it It's no wonder Sanye me to solve it.

So, Han Jianshi ordered Li Chengye to wrap all the cages containing the mice tightly in black flannel and hand them over to the hidden guards brought by Qianxun.

After sending the things away, Han Jianshi felt a little uneasy again—what the hell is this girl Han Qian doing?If she really annoyed the emperor, it's not something she, a little girl, can afford.But then I thought again: Forget it, anyway, the emperor came to pick up the things himself, even if something happened, the emperor would have been negligent.

The next morning, the Eldest Princess got up before dawn, put on the imperial dress of the Eldest Princess after putting on serious makeup, and brought Han Qian into the palace.

Originally, she didn't want to take Han Qian with her, thinking that the emperor would be afraid of causing trouble when he saw his daughter, but Han Qian said that she wanted to get to know those famous ladies and learn more about how to be a lady.

Princess Dachang thought that it might be better if the emperor could see Han Qian's indifferent look, and let him know that Han Qian didn't have him in his heart, so that he could give up earlier.So, the excited Han Qian followed the eldest princess into the palace early in the morning to go to the emperor's beauty pageant.

According to the usual practice, the girls who are selected enter the palace before dawn and wait. After entering the palace, the eldest princess accepts the worship of the 120 beauties selected in Lingxiu Palace and waits for the emperor to come to the beauty pageant after leaving the court.

Because they knew that today was the day of the beauty pageant, the ministers in the court were also very knowledgeable, and none of them made a fuss at the court meeting.Yun Shuo naturally understood what the ministers were thinking, and naturally added another layer of unhappiness in his heart.

Coming out of the Taiji Hall, seeing Qianxun rushing up to him, he squinted his eyes and stood still.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready." Chihiro replied in a low voice.

A smile flashed across Yun Shuo's eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Qianye replied in a low voice: "The little Princess is here too, and she is going to Lingxiu Palace with the Eldest Princess."

"Very good." The smile in Yun Shuo's eyes deepened.

When the emperor came to Lingxiu Palace, all the beauties in the courtyard of Lingxiu Palace shouted "Long live, long live" in unison, and then knelt and bowed down neatly like the wind passing through a sea of ​​flowers.

Yun Shuo didn't even look at the flower kneeling on the ground. He stepped on the blue brick floor which was not as good as Lingxiu Palace, and walked up to the Eldest Princess who was kneeling on the ground. He bent down, stretched out his hand, and said politely, "Auntie, please get up." .”

After expressing gratitude, the Eldest Princess stood up slowly, then clasped her hands and replied, "Your Majesty, all 120 beauties are here. Please select them carefully."

Yun Shuo nodded, but looked at Han Qian behind the eldest princess, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my sister for a while, and she seems to have grown taller again."

"Yes! I've grown an inch taller!" Han Qian said immediately.

The eldest princess immediately frowned and said: "There are no rules, how can you talk to the emperor?"

Han Qian immediately suppressed her smile and took two steps back, lowering her head.

"It's okay, I just like my sister's frankness, aunt, don't criticize her." Yun Shuo took two steps forward, took Han Qian's hand and sat on the main seat, and hugged Han Qian into his arms in front of the Eldest Princess.

The Eldest Princess' face stiffened immediately, but she couldn't do anything about it, she just swore silently from her heart that she would never bring her daughter into the palace again.

"Your Majesty, do you want the beauties to come in one by one and show off their talents?" The Eldest Princess suggested.

"Is this necessary?" Yun Shuo looked at Han Qian in his arms and asked.

Han Qian secretly glanced at the eldest princess, shook his head to express that he didn't know.

"Qianqian thinks you don't need it? I think so too." Yun Shuo smiled faintly, and looked up at the eldest princess, "The one my aunt thinks is better can be kept."

"How can this work? These beauties are chosen to accompany the emperor and not to accompany me. It's just that I don't want to be pleasing to the eye." The eldest princess smiled faintly, "Since your majesty is here today, let's go one by one. Let's take a look."
