203 Business trip (1)
Xu Qi âan didnât stay in the second princessâs Manor for long. He had to patrol the streets in the afternoon, so he left.
The framed man was reluctant to leave and frowned, ââXu ningyan, I can talk to my Imperial father and ask you to take up a post in the palace and be my guard.â
What kind of future is there to be your guard? You really want me to work like a horse ⊠âYour Highness, I still have some ambitions,â Xu Qi âan said helplessly.
Obviously, working for the princess was not as good as working for Wei Yuan. Emperor Yuan jing doted on her because she was good at throwing tantrums and acting coquettishly, and also because she was innocent, cute, and had no schemes.
For someone like Princess huaiqing, if she wanted to help her confidant ascend the throne, she had to find an opportunity, such as the Sang Bo case. The other princes were the same.
Xu Qi âan had seen through Emperor Yuan jing when he failed to ask Emperor Yuan jing to spare his life.
âSecond Princess, why do you have to do this? Iâm just a little Night watchman.â Xu Qian said,âweâre not suitable.â
âThe others arenât as interesting as you. Youâre so nervous when you talk to me.â Lin âan pouted his little mouth and swung his feet, â
âI donât like to read, I canât play the zither, go, calligraphy, or painting, so Iâm bored to death in the palace. When I was young, brother Crown Prince would play with me, but now whenever I go to find him, he would frown and always say that thereâs something important to do.â
What a pitiful Princess, she was like a Canary in a gorgeous cage ⊠But wasnât Princess huaiqing free to come and go as she pleased ⊠Xu Qi âan thought about it and figured it out.
Huaiqing was the kind of strong woman who could conquer the world by herself if she was given three thousand troops. She was very knowledgeable and very capable. Among Emperor Yuan jingâs children, there was almost no one who could compare to huaiqing in talent and skill.
Lin âan was different. She was an unruly and willful little princess. She did not have any schemes and was easily deceived by people with Wolfâs ambitions.
Xu Qi âan automatically removed himself from the list of â wolves with wild ambitions.
âThis is actually very simple. The princess can just move back to her own residence. The Imperial City is more interesting than the palace.â Xu Qi âan said.
Lin an was a Princess with a title and had her own residence in the Imperial City.
âThen come to the an residence to see me tomorrow.â The framed man said.
The princess of Lin an rushed to the jingxiu Palace in a palanquin before the afternoon meal. Today, noble Consort Chen had sent people to inform her son and daughter, and invited them to the jingxiu Palace for a meal.
During the meal, the Crown Prince was eating the delicacies that noble Consort Chen had carefully prepared. He suddenly said, ââI heard from the servants in the palace that Wei Yuan had given the Empress a secret formula to cure her anorexia.â
Noble Consort Chen smiled and said, â there is such a thing. It seems to be called ⊠Chicken spirit? Iâve heard that if you add a little when cooking, the taste will be unforgettable.â
The Crown Prince could see noble Consort Chenâs desire. if you want to try it, Iâll ask the Empress for some.
âI heard that Princess huaiqing went to ask for it, but the Empress didnât even give it to her,â said noble Consort Chen with a smile.
The mother and son were instantly helpless.
The princess of Lin an looked at her mother and older brother and asked for confirmation,âIs it called chicken spirit?â
The Crown Prince looked at her. youâve heard about it too? â
The heartless Lin âan did not have the time to pay attention to the Haremâs news. He shook his head and said,âXu ningyan gave me something today. Itâs called chicken spirit.â
âGo back to the palace and get it for me,â she called her maidservant over.
A quarter of an hour later, the servant girl returned, panting heavily. She brought back the porcelain bottle that she had left in the manor.
The Crown Prince took the porcelain bottle first, opened the wooden stopper, and sniffed it. He smelled a slightly pungent umami, but he couldnât understand the magic of this item just by smelling it.
âGet the kitchen to heat up these dishes and add this ⊠Chicken spirit, letâs have a taste?â
The crown princeâs suggestion was approved by his mother and sister.
After a short while, the palace maid came back with the hot dishes. The mother and son did not eat, but looked at the palace maid.
The palace maid first used a silver needle to test for the poison, then took the bowl and chopsticks and tried them one by one. After eating all the dishes, the Crown Prince saw that her eyes clearly showed that she wanted more, but she didnât dare to eat too much. She stared at the dishes reluctantly.
After waiting for a moment and seeing that the palace maid was fine, the Crown Prince urged, ââGive bengong a bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup.â
The palace maid ladled the soup and said with a smile,âYour Highness has good taste. The taste of this soup is unforgettable.â
The Crown Prince impatiently took it and tasted it. He praised, ââIt has a different taste ⊠Consort mother, Lin âan, try it, quickly try it. â
Noble Consort Chen hadnât seen the Crown Prince so happy for a long time, so she was happy.
Lin âan had already started cooking. She didnât eat the soft-shelled turtle soup, but picked up a mouthful of vegetables. As she chewed, she unconsciously picked up a second mouthful, a third mouthful âŠ
After lunch, noble Consort Chen, who had not seen her children eat so happily for a long time, was very happy.
this is good stuff. Itâs just a small bottle ⊠How much energy does the chef of the Imperial Kitchen have to spend to achieve this?â The Crown Prince sighed and kept the bottle in his sleeve.
The mounted manâs eyes widened and he pounced over, grabbing the crown princeâs sleeve tightly, his eyebrows raised, ââItâs mine!â
isnât xu Qi âan your man? you can just ask him for more. âLet go,â the Crown Prince said righteously.
âI wonât let go. This is mine.â
The brother and sister couldnât argue, so they looked for noble Consort Chen to judge. Noble Consort Chen was angry and amused at the same time.âHow old are you, still acting like a child? If you want Imperial mother to say it, then itâs only fair to stay here with Imperial mother.â
ââŠ..âThe Crown Prince and Lin âan turned back and continued to argue.
âŠ..
âIt turns out that Xu ningyanâs gift to me is so valuable.â He sat in the sedan chair and played with the porcelain bottle that only had one-third of the chicken essence left.
Her dissatisfaction with Xu Qi âan gradually disappeared. She was not really stupid. She would turn a blind eye to Xu Qiâ an taking advantage of her.
Because if he didnât win him over, this Gong would turn around and throw himself into huaiqingâs arms. Moreover, he had a good way of speaking and knew how to play, so Lin âan was quite reluctant to let him go. Some useless calligraphy, paintings, and silver, so be it.
âThis little Gong is so cunning. I have to go and confirm it âŠâ âLetâs go to huaiqingâs,â Lin an immediately said.
When he arrived at Princess huaiqingâs Palace, Lin an ignored the guards âobstruction and raised his snow-white chin to see the detestable huaiqing in the front hall.
The two princesses with outstanding looks complemented each other. On huaiqingâs fair and pretty face, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.âWhat are you doing here?â
I heard that Wei Yuan gave mother a secret recipe that cured her of her anorexia. The news has spread throughout the palace. Lin âan walked to the antique-and-antique shelf, her red dress trailing behind her. As she played with the blue and white vase, she casually said, â
âSister huaiqing, do you have any?â
âNo, I didnât,â Huaiqing said indifferently.
âYou really donât?â Lin âan suddenly turned his head. His eyes were bright and his charming oval face had the words âeager to move.â
Princess huaiqing stared at her and said indifferently,âWhy Would I Lie to You?â
Iâm relieved that you donât have it. Lin âan, no, the mounted man took out a porcelain bottle and shook it happily.âI have one!â
ââŠ.â
Seeing that huaiqingâs expression was off, she was even happier. However, in order to avoid getting beaten up, she decided to stop while she was ahead. She twisted her waist and left after acting cool.
âBengong is leaving and wonât send you off. Oh, thatâs right, Xu ningyan gave this to bengong.â
Xu ningyan ⊠The veins on Princess huaiqingâs smooth forehead were protruding.
âŠ.
The next day, after having lunch at the brothel, the three men picked their teeth and strode back to the Yamen.
There was an hourâs break at noon, and the three of them planned to return to the Yamen to practice. Xu Qi âan was still treating them today, but this time, they were just listening to music and eating, nothing else. A martial artistâs family didnât have that much surplus.
Song tingfeng was a little embarrassed that he had missed Xu ningyanâs banquet for a few days. When he saw someone selling oranges at a roadside stall, he said, â
âYou two wait here, Iâll go buy some oranges.â
âGet lost. Iâll go buy it. You wait here.â Xu Qi âan stopped him.
âNingyan, youâre too kind, too kind.â Song tingfeng insisted on buying.
anything else is fine, but I have to buy the oranges. If you really want to buy them, youâll have to pay for the next lesson. Xu Qi âan said angrily.
Song tingfeng gave up.
When Xu Qi âan returned to the Yamen, he received a summon from Wei Yuan.
Father Wei loves me more and more ⊠He happily ran to the noble spirit building. After the guard reported to him, he saw Wei Yuan in a green robe in the tea room.
This handsome and refined eunuch with slightly frosty sideburns was holding a cup of tea and drinking it. He pointed at the seat across from him and said, ââPour yourself some tea.â
Xu Qi âan, who had a stomach full of wine, did not want to drink tea. He poured a cup of tea to accompany Wei Yuan.
you canât drink when youâre on duty, â Wei Yuan admonished.âYou, other than being a little righteous, are full of bad habits. You have a slick tone, no sense of discipline, and frequently go in and out of the education workshop. If I were your political enemy, you would have already reincarnated.â
â⊠I know I was wrong.â Xu Qi âan would treat himself as a younger brother, no, a son. This way, his mentality would be much better.
âForget it, itâs hard to change a personâs nature. If a person could change so easily, there wouldnât be thousands of people in the world.â Wei Yuan had always been a leader who tolerated his subordinates âmistakes, so he didnât really pursue the matter.
He took a big gulp of tea and pushed a file over. âYouâll have to make a trip to Yunzhou,â
Yunzhou? Xu Qi âan straightened his expression and opened the file to read.
âA few days ago, the night watchmanâs spy sent back a secret letter. In the letter, he said that the commander of Yunzhou, yang Chuannan, was secretly colluding with the mountain bandits to deliver military supplies for the sake of profit and to raise bandits for self-respect.â Wei Yuan took another sip of tea and said, â
on the second day after I received the secret letter, the Qi party acted quickly and created a âcorruption caseâ. They used a bunch of gongs and gongs as bargaining chips to force me to compromise.
The commander of Yunzhou was from the Qi party? No wonder the Qi party was so determined to get rid of night watchmen. It turned out that there was such an inside story behind it.
If not for my dumb luck, would Wei Yuan have replaced the commander of Yunzhou with a bunch of gold gongs and silver gongs? Wei Yuan was a ruthless man ⊠Thatâs right, number two had said that the reason why Yunzhouâs bandit problem was so difficult to get rid of was because the mountain bandits occupied the terrain. Furthermore, each of them had military supplies and were not ordinary mountain bandits. Thus, they had someone supporting them from behind.
The Qi gang would definitely not be able to control it remotely from the capital. They would need the cooperation of a local high-ranking official ⊠Xu Qi âan suddenly realized.
Wei Yuan continued,âafter the secret letter was sent back to the capital, the spy died for no reason. He died without a sound.â His true identity was the commander division, an experience of the experience division.
âHeâs dead, and the evidence is gone. I have already reported this matter to His Majesty. His Majesty will send an inspector of the Imperial Censorate to Yunzhou to investigate this matter.
âWhat you need to do is to protect the Imperial inspector and find evidence.â
âWhy do I have to go to Yunzhou?â Xu Qi âan asked.
And not too willing ⊠âJiang Lu will be in charge of this matter. You can go with him to gain experience,â Wei Yuan said.
Xu Qi âan was relieved and said,âthereâs one more thing âŠâ Lord Wei, you canât eat too much chicken essence, itâs easy to get thirsty. Tell the chef to put less in the dishes.â
Xu Qi âan felt that he was being too kind. Not only did he not hold a grudge against Wei Yuan for scolding him, but he also reminded him out of kindness.
Wei Yuan didnât say anything and just pointed at the door.
âYour humble servant will take his leave.â Xu Qi âan immediately left.
