Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 210 Uninvited
The smile on the corner of Long Zhiyu's mouth faded a bit. As a nobleman, his hands and feet skills can only be regarded as flamboyant fists and embroidered legs. Going to the battlefield is only for death, and he can't accomplish anything at all.

And following the regent to go to war, who knows if he will get rid of himself behind the back of the young emperor, and then lie that he died in battle?

The situation on the battlefield is changing, it is too easy to kill a person, Long Zhiyu dare not take this risk at all.

"I haven't seen you for a while, Miss Xie has become more sharp-tongued, I really can't beat you." He lightly admitted defeat, and didn't answer Xie Yanniang's words at all.

She has long understood that this man is full of scheming, a few simple words can probably figure out countless conspiracies, how dare she really get hooked by her aggressive methods just to gain breath?
The soldiers around showed a bit of sarcasm, look at that imposing fifteenth prince, the youngest brother of the late emperor, the relatives of the emperor are as timid as a mouse, as soon as he said he was going to the battlefield, he immediately changed the subject, how dare he talk to him?
They worked desperately for the Qing Dynasty, if these noble people who were happy and happy in Beijing followed, they would be scared to death, it would be a shame.

Naturally, Long Zhiyu didn't miss the half-smiles on everyone's face, and his complexion was slightly gloomy.

Just when the young emperor arrived, a sharp voice sounded: "The emperor is here——"

"Everyone's body——" The young emperor is only eight years old now, and he already has the posture of an emperor, his white and tender face is tense, and he waved his short hand to signal everyone to get up.

He stood on the highest stage, wearing a yellow robe, a golden crown and black hair, and three auxiliary ministers followed him.

It's just that this time is different from the past, the three auxiliary ministers did not follow the young emperor to the high platform, but stood in the audience automatically and consciously.

It can be seen that Mr. Jiang was exiled, and the children of the three were in the hands of the regent and the young emperor. Be cautious.

"Prince Regent, I'm waiting for you to defeat the Rong tribe and return victorious!" The young emperor held up the teacup and held it high: "I replace wine with tea, do it!"

"Long live my emperor—" Ruan Jingxin took the wine cup, drank it down in one gulp, and fell down hard on the stage: "I will set off here, and I will never send my army back to Beijing unless I drive the Rong people to Baili!"

"Okay!" The young emperor applauded, and fixed his eyes on the face of the regent who was still wearing a mask: "I will wait for your safe return!"

"I'm waiting for all the soldiers to kill all the Rong people and return victorious—"

The officer shouted loudly, Ruan Jingxin raised his hand slightly, everyone stopped talking, and immediately got on their horses.

He walked up to Xie Yanniang, only had time to hold her little hand, but he put it down after a while and got on the horse.

Finally, after taking a deep look at her, Ruan Jingxin yelled loudly: "All officers and men listen to the order and set off—"

Xie Yanniang watched the army slowly leave the city gate, her eyes never left Ruan Jingxin's back, until everyone turned into black spots and disappeared into the distance, she was still reluctant to go back.

"Miss Xie, do you want me to escort you back to your residence?" Long Zhiyu stood behind her and asked softly.

"No, I still know the way back, so I won't bother you." Xie Yanniang bowed cautiously, then turned around and left, she didn't want to stay with this man even for a moment!
Looking at her receding figure, Long Zhiyu straightened his back and said with a slight smile: "I really didn't realize that she has a bit of a temper."

He licked his lower lip, regretting that he let go so easily and didn't compete with the regent.

If it is a fight among themselves, whether Xie Yanniang will marry the Prince Regent is uncertain.

The fifteenth prince's excessive enthusiasm for her made Xue Ling a little worried. After all, the regent was not here. If Long Zhiyu pestered her a few times, outsiders would only say that the fifteenth prince was coquettish and unrestrained. I'm afraid there would be nothing good to say about Xie Yanniang.

For example, not obeying women's morals, such as Hongxing cheating.

This is not a good reputation for the regent.

Xie Yanniang got into the carriage, turned her head and saw Xue Ling's tangled expression, she didn't need to think about what she was worried about, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Fifth Prince is a very busy person, why would he really pay attention to me?"

"Wangfei, the reputation of the Fifteenth Prince is not very good. If someone with a heart makes a fuss, I'm afraid it will be bad for Wangfei." Xue Ling was not as optimistic as she thought, and seemed a bit worried.

"He's not busy now, so let the lord be busy, and naturally he won't have time to think about a little girl like me." Xie Yanniang smiled, and only made a fuss about Xie Ruitong, which was really painless to Long Zhiyu.

Originally, I didn't want to have anything to do with this man, so I left it at that.

But Long Zhiyu's actions today made her furious.

Even in front of Ruan Jingxin, the intimacy and familiarity shown by the Fifteenth Prince to her, what will the Prince Regent think?
Even if she believed her again, Ruan Jingxin would still feel uncomfortable, even a little pimple.

Xie Yanniang knew exactly what Long Zhiyu wanted to do.

It's just that the things he didn't get are more coveted, and he deliberately embarrassed the regent.

Xue Ling saw that Xie Yanniang was smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and there was even a bit of coldness in her eyes, she couldn't help but shiver.

It seems that what the fifteenth prince did today completely angered his master.

When Huo Huyuan was called, he was somewhat puzzled.

The regent had just left, and he thought that the princess had been lost for a long time, but who knew that it would not be long before he asked himself to go on an errand.

He walked to the flower hall suspiciously, and slowly saluted Xie Yanniang behind the screen: "This subordinate has seen the princess."

"I want to do one thing, and I have to let Mr. Qi take risks. This time, Huo Huyuan secretly sent people to protect Mr. Qi, so as not to put him in danger." Xie Yanniang signaled Xue Ling to send the few pages written on her hand. Huo Huyuan, and said: "You memorize these things, and repeat them to me again. These few pages cannot be taken out of this courtyard, and they will have to be burned later."

Huo Huyuan heard the words, lowered his head and glanced roughly, and couldn't help but be surprised by what was written on it: "Princess, these are..."

"It's just made up, you probably remember, tell Mr. Qi later, let him play as he pleases, as exciting as possible." Xie Yanniang held her chin in one hand and smiled happily.

"Yes, Princess." Huo Huyuan quickly memorized everything written on the paper, handed it back to Xue Ling and burned it to ashes in the brazier beside him, and then left to find Mr. Qi.

The next day, Mr. Qi from the teahouse was besieged since the story of the backyard confusion of heirs, and then disappeared for a few days, but he came back unexpectedly.

This time the story is more exciting, but it is appalling.

Mr. Qi was dumbfounded when he heard Huo Huyuan's report the night before.

It's just that this shocking incident aroused his enthusiasm, and he wrote more than ten pages in an eloquent manner, preparing to give a lecture at the teahouse the next day.

He walked to the high platform, holding the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today, what the old man is telling is the story of the previous dynasty. It's true or false, Mr. Bo just smiled, and the guest officer doesn't have to take it to heart."

A regular customer at the bottom laughed and said, "Old Qi is cheating again, why don't you hurry up and tell me?"

Mr. Qi stroked his beard, unfolded his folding fan, and said slowly: "This may be a rumor from a hundred years ago, or 200 years ago. There is a small country on the other side of the mountain col. The monarch is in the prime of life, wise and powerful, wise and kind. So the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the small country gradually grows."

"Just at this time, the king suddenly died suddenly, with only a young son under ten years old under his knees. The new emperor was young, and he was also of the blood of the king, so he naturally became the head of the country. The first emperor had a prime minister. Mr. Enlightenment, continue to be appointed Prime Minister."

"The new emperor trusts the prime minister, and all state affairs are handled by him. The new emperor is very pleased that the country is orderly, but suddenly someone comes to inform him that the prime minister is going to rebel, and the new emperor naturally does not believe it."

He put away his folding fan, saw the people in the audience staring at him nervously, and changed the subject: "The guest officials here think that the prime minister has been wronged, or is there something real?"

Someone sighed: "With such a big sweet pastry in front of you, you might not have thought about it at first, but after a long time, you will inevitably have other thoughts."

Mr. Qi nodded and said: "That's right, that's exactly the case. Of course the prime minister does not admit it. The new emperor suffers from having no evidence, and he doesn't want to wrong his teacher. At this time, someone came to inform again, saying that there was a secret hidden in the darkroom of the prime minister's mansion." A box of imperial robes. Hiding so many imperial robes, the ambition is obvious."

"The new emperor was furious, and sent his confidantes to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight to find the dark room, but found nothing. Even no one could find the dark room at all, and the Prime Minister also categorically denied that there was a dark room in the mansion."

Everyone shouted: "Then what should we do, let the prime minister get away with it?"

Some people were also curious: "Mr. Qi, don't be so secretive, where is the door to the darkroom?"

Mr. Qi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the guest officer to find out next time. Where is the door of the dark room, the old man gave the guest officer a hint, that is, it can be seen everywhere in the rich family. It must be what the guest officer thinks."

After that, he drifted away, and could still hear the discussion in the teahouse in the distance.

After staying up all night, Mr. Qi was also very tired, and he slumped directly on the soft couch after returning home.When I woke up, I didn't know when there were two people, one big and one small, in the room.

The young boy, about ten years old, had an ordinary face.The big one was dressed in night clothes, full of murderous aura, probably with blood on his hands.

He was taken aback, then sat up unhurriedly, bowed politely to the two of them and said, "I don't know what's the matter with the two guest officials. The old man is old and sleeps soundly, but he has neglected the guests."

"We came here uninvited and disturbed Mr. Qi." The immature voice sounded, the boy looked at him, and said curiously: "Mr. Qi's story is really wonderful, I listened intently, who knew that there was no more. The rules in the family are very strict. Yan, I can't come out from time to time, so I have no choice but to disturb Mr. Qi and ask for the rest of the answer."

The boy said it bluntly, Mr. Qi stroked his beard and said modestly: "It is my honor to be able to please the young master. It's just that the old man has something to say beforehand, so if you tell the young master rashly like this, isn't it just ruining your own brand name?"
