Chapter 420: The New Princess Mansion
Chapter 420: The New Princess Mansion
I could see that the people in other states were about to fight over which state to attack first.
Xiaojiu quickly made a pause gesture.
"I don't want to fight recently. The New Year is coming. Everyone should go back and have a good New Year. After the New Year, we can make long-term plans."
When people from other states heard this, they thought there was hope and became excited.
"Your Majesty, you must remember this!"
"We are waiting for you in Yunping...zhou! You must not forget!"
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so there was no reason for Xiaojiu to refuse.
"Don't worry. When I am free, I will definitely go to your state to rescue you. Wait for me."
"Your Majesty, I will wait for you. I will definitely wait for you!"
It was such a touching scene that the governors of other states were trembling with fear.
After chatting with a group of people on the street for a while, Xiaojiu heard that her princess's mansion was almost completed and was built next to Taoyuan Village.
She was so excited that she jumped off the roof of the carriage, rode her pony and headed straight for her princess palace.
Zhao Hu and his group behind were riding ponies, each one faster than the other. Don't ask, because it's just a summary of their experience: if you are slow, you won't be able to pick a good room.
Soon, Xiaojiu and his group arrived near Taoyuan Village. From afar, they saw a magnificent building coming into view.
Xiaojiu's eyes lit up. This princess palace was even more magnificent than the one she had seen in the blueprint. Although some corners were still under construction, the main building was already standing tall. The vermilion walls and golden glazed tiles sparkled in the sun. Although it didn't look as big as her father's palace, it was more beautiful than her father's palace.
When the villagers of Taoyuan Village who were working on the construction saw the village chief coming, they dropped their work and ran over excitedly.
"Village Chief, Village Chief, you are back. Take a look at the princess's mansion we built. Do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it!" Xiaojiu nodded quickly, unable to take his eyes off his own princess palace.
"Village chief, we invited the best craftsmen from Qiongzhou to build this princess's mansion. The people of Qiongzhou all came to help, and the construction was completed very quickly."
Xiaojiu was so happy that he waved his hand and said, "Reward!"
The butler next to him immediately responded and went to make arrangements.
Xiaojiu jumped off the pony excitedly and ran towards the mansion gate impatiently.
"Wow! Village chief, your princess mansion is so big!" Zhao Hu, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but exclaimed at the flying eaves and brackets in front of him.
With such a large place, they don't need to fight over houses. There are so many houses, they can live in whichever one they want.
"The village chief's princess mansion looks even more beautiful than the imperial palace!" Shen Zhiyuan, who was the first to run in with the village chief, danced excitedly.
The flowers and plants in this mansion are so beautiful.
Adou and the others behind could no longer suppress their curiosity and rushed in like a swarm.
As soon as they stepped through the gate, they were shocked by the scene in front of them - the spacious courtyard had rockery and flowing water, lush flowers and trees, and the main hall in the distance was magnificent. I don't know if it was because this was the village chief's home, they had their own filter, they felt that this place was more exquisite and domineering than the imperial palace.
Xiaojiu walked around his mansion as quickly as possible, and finally looked at the throne room with satisfaction, which was the same as his father's.
Yes, before Xiaojiu left, she specifically described to the villagers the place where her father and officials held meetings in the morning. It was very domineering and she also wanted something like that.
The villagers don't care what can be built and what cannot be built. As long as the village chief likes it, it must be built.
Now their Taoyuan Village is extremely rich, with both money and people. As long as the village chief likes, they can even build a fairy palace for the Bodhisattva in heaven.
"This place looks like father's throne room. Sister, are you going to attend the morning court here too? But this room has a lot more stools than father's." The Fourth Prince looked at the familiar structure with a look of surprise.
When I heard about the early morning court session, I shook my head decisively. It was impossible for me to get up early.
"No, this is my meeting room. I will hold meetings here from now on. Those benches are for them to sit on."
Xiaojiu carefully admired his own meeting room, and always felt that something was missing.
After looking around for a while, I couldn't find what I was missing, so I gave up. Since I couldn't find it, I wouldn't look for it anymore. I would definitely know it later.
Jingxin, who was eager to curry favor with the powerful, had already consciously gone to the backyard to find her own place to live.
When Adou saw Jingxin going to the backyard, he quickly followed her, waiting for Jingxin to figure out which one he would grab.
The rooms in the backyard are neatly arranged, and each one is decorated elegantly and warmly.
Xing'er fell in love with the room on the east side at first sight. She could see the peach forest in the distance when she opened the window. Most importantly, this room was closest to the main hall where the village chief lived.
She stood at the door with a big knife on her shoulder, looking determined, "This room is mine!"
His tone was quite confident, as if if anyone disagreed, they would just fight first and see who would win.
Shen Zhiyuan, who was very self-aware, decisively changed his target and chose the one next door.
Zhao Hu, the only one present who could exchange a few moves with Xing'er, was not interested in the room Xing'er had chosen. He immediately fell in love with the one closest to the martial arts training ground. He could practice martial arts with his eyes open, which was perfect for him.
If he studies hard and practices diligently, he will surely win the position of commander of the imperial guards.
And Adou followed Jingxin closely. Jingxin, who had learned his lesson several times, had learned his lesson.
He had already calculated which room had the best feng shui, and pretended to walk into the room next to Zhao Hu.
A Dou watched him walk in without hesitation and felt suspicious. Jing Xin's attitude of not guarding against him stealing the house must be a trick.
He decisively chose the room where he had spent the longest time in meditation. He pushed open the carved wooden door, and a faint scent of elegant sandalwood wafted in. The sun shone through the window lattice, casting mottled light and shadows on the bluestone floor tiles.
It was obviously a good room with excellent feng shui. Adou quickly locked the door. He knew that Jingxin, the cunning one, was deceiving him.
Jingxin: I made a mistake. My plan was actually seen through by that clever little Adou.
Jingxin, whose room was robbed again, felt like cursing. He was the imperial master, but these kids didn't know how to respect their elders.
That's too much!
Xiaojiu stood in the middle of the courtyard, watching his friends running around excitedly choosing houses, and smiling especially happily.
It's great that the room is so big that my parents, grandmother, uncles and aunts can all stay here.
Taoyuan Village is next door. If you want to visit, you can just climb over the wall and get there.
The more Xiaojiu looked at her princess mansion, the more satisfied she became.
He tiptoed over the wall and arrived at the village. Xiaojiu, with his hands behind his back, began to inspect his village like a leader going to the countryside.
Along the way, the villagers who saw the village chief coming back excitedly surrounded him and asked about his well-being.
"Village Chief, you're back? Is Nanling Country fun? Has anyone bullied you?"
"Village Chief, are you used to living in Nanling Country?"
"Are the people of Nanling obedient?"
"Is the food good over there?"
"..."
A string of caring words were thrown at Xiaojiu. This had become a necessary inquiry for the villagers of Taoyuan Village every time they saw their village chief coming back from outside, for fear that the village chief was not having a good time outside.
Xiaojiu raised his hand to signal everyone that everything was fine, and replied in unison: "The baby eats well, sleeps well, has smooth bowel movements, and the people of Nanling Country are also obedient..."
***
Wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!!Chapter 421: Chaos in the Prefect's House
Chapter 421: Chaos in the Prefect's House
Seeing that the village chief was planning to take a walk, everyone showed concern for him and went back to their work, only keeping an eye on his actions. As soon as he gave an order, the villagers would immediately go up to help.
Xiaojiu looked at the village which had changed a lot. Now every household in Taoyuan Village had built a big house and smooth roads. Taoyuan Village also had its own factory that produced sweet potato flour, various dried fruit snacks, as well as backpacks, clothes, shoes, bicycles, skateboards and other toys made of various small animals.
The village is full of busy people, not only from the village, but also many new faces working in the village.
The village roads are filled with stalls selling toys, snacks, and various daily necessities. The shouts of hawkers are heard one after another, and it is as lively as the New Year's Day.
Xiaojiu was very happy looking at this prosperous scene.
She likes this lively atmosphere the most, where every day is like the New Year.
Going further in, it becomes quieter, as this is where children study and practice martial arts.
Xiaojiu hates coming to this place the most. Whenever he sees the school, he thinks of Master Xu, and when he thinks of Master Xu, he thinks of his endless homework.
Xiaojiu originally wanted to turn around and leave, but as soon as she turned the corner, a group of children rushed out.
A crowd of children, like a swarm of bees, surrounded the village chief and kept shouting "Village Chief".
Xiaojiu immediately raised his hand and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Soon, everything around became quiet.
Like a little adult, she asked everyone about their studies and martial arts training.
Then he gave more instructions to the teacher and asked him to assign more homework to these children.
After saying this, Xiaojiu quickly found an excuse to slip away.
There was no way out. Ever since she became the empress, Master Xu had been going too far, assigning her homework that she could never finish all day long.
Xiaojiu couldn't bear to see the children in the village having such an easy life.
I have been caught in the rain, so I want to tear up other people's umbrellas.
Jie Liuzi Xiaojiu wandered around the village and found that everyone in the village was busy except for a few of them.
Xianren Xiaojiu decided to go and chat with the prefect.
So a group of street urchins rode their ponies straight to the city.
The prefect, who didn't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess had returned, was now beating his daughter.
There was chaos in the mansion.
"Where did you hide all the money in the house? Take it out quickly!" The prefect, wearing patched clothes, chased the girl around the yard with a stick in his hand.
"No, Her Royal Highness the Princess said that men become bad when they have money. Dad, I'm doing this for your own good!" Miss Ji ran away quickly, holding the salary her father had just given her this month, which she had just looted from the mansion.
Fortunately, she came back in time, otherwise the matchmaker would have brought the stepmother to the house.
"You bastard! You have taken all the money in our house, not even a penny is left. Are you planning to starve me to death?" The prefect was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"Dad, you are talking nonsense. Her Royal Highness has clearly hired a special chef in the county government office to cook for her. From now on, people in the county government office don't have to pay for meals. You don't have to pay for food and accommodation now, so why do you still need money?"
"Dad is a prefect, don't you need to socialize?"
"You... Dad, you actually have time to go out for social events? Have you finished your work in the government office? You just ran out, I knew you were still thinking of marrying me a stepmother!"
"Dad, I won't stop you if you want to marry a stepmother, but I have to take care of your money. Before mom left, she said that all the money in the family will be left to me." Miss Ji looked at her father with an expression that said, "Don't even think about coveting my money."
The magistrate looked at his daughter who refused to listen and refused to listen no matter what he said. He wanted to dig out his wife who was buried in the grave and let her take care of his daughter.
It is said that a daughter is a father's sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket, but this one at home is simply here to collect debts.
The prefect pointed a stick at the rebellious girl and said, "You bastard, believe it or not, I will marry you off tomorrow."
Miss Ji was not afraid at all, "Dad, you promised me out in the daytime, I will go and set the other party's house on fire at night."
"You…you…you!"
"snort!"
The old man of the Ji family, who had just returned from a stroll outside carrying a bird cage, saw the chaotic scene in the mansion.
He paused after entering the door, then turned a corner and went out of the mansion.
The prefect saw this and shouted anxiously, "Dad, please take care of your granddaughter."
When Old Master Ji heard this, he walked out of the house even faster.
He was afraid that his granddaughter would target him and all the little money in his pocket would be taken away.
The magistrate was helpless even though he cried out to heaven and earth.
Gritting his teeth, he looked at his daughter over there and compromised: "Tell me, how can you return the money to Dad."
Seeing this, Miss Ji crossed her arms over her chest and said without negotiation, "It's still impossible to pay it back, but if Dad wants to buy something, just ask the housekeeper to buy it for him. Dad will definitely not be shortchanged for the money that should be spent. If it's something that shouldn't be spent, Dad will do it yourself. The housekeeper will not pay for it for you."
She was determined not to let her father have any money. Her father would become arrogant when he had money and be fooled by other colleagues. He would run to restaurants and theaters whenever he had free time.
Just like my grandfather, his mind is full of pleasure and wasting time.
When my mother passed away, she said that all the money in this family belongs to her and no one else can take a single penny.
When her grandmother passed away, she also told her to take good care of her grandfather and father, and not let them ruin the family.
Miss Ji looked at her father, who was holding his chest and was very angry, with a smug look on her face.
Fight her! Dad, you are still young!
The prefect held his chest and took a long breath before he calmed down. "Where did you put all the money at home? There are so many thieves out there!"
"Don't worry, Dad. I've invested all the money. It's safe."
When the prefect heard this, everything went dark before his eyes.
"You...you invested all the money in the mansion?"
"OK!"
"Where... where have you been? Have you been tricked by some thief?"
"No, the money we invested has doubled. Don't worry, Dad. The money our family invested in Her Royal Highness the Princess is safe."
"real?"
"Of course, our family is rich now."
Now the escort agency run by the village chief is running very well, and she has doubled the money she invested in it.
The prefect's attitude changed 180 degrees. "Dear girl, since our family is so rich, can you give dad some money?"
Miss Ji looked at her father defensively, "Why do you want money?"
The prefect rubbed his hands together, looking expectant, "Dad has taken a fancy to a painting, it's not expensive, just five hundred taels."
Miss Ji took her father's salary and ran out of the house without thinking.
She left a message, "Dad, what kind of painting do you like? Your daughter will draw it for you and save you five hundred taels."
The prefect who heard this pointed at his daughter's back as she walked out, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Xiaojiu and his group hurried to the provincial capital, only to run into a major family property dispute.
They squatted on the wall, ate the melon, and watched the whole process, which benefited several people a lot.Chapter 422 The Fatty Who Wants to Be the Master
Chapter 422 The Fatty Who Wants to Be the Master
Especially Xiaojiu, she has been coveting her father's secret fund for a long time.
Next time she returns to the capital, she will use her father's money to do business. Then the money will make more money, and her father's money will become less and less every day.
In order to make her father spend less money, she decided to help her father manage the money.
From now on, she will give whatever her father spends.
The little fat boy had the same idea as her, and he suddenly understood.
He immediately jumped down from the wall and said, "Village Chief, I have something to do and need to go home."
After saying that, he rode his pony home quickly.
Wang Fugui, who didn't know that he was about to fall back into poverty, was now holding his big belly and proudly showing off to the merchants passing by the gate of his mansion what he saw and heard during his trip to Nanling Kingdom.
"I never thought that one day my Wang family would be personally invited by the Empress to attend her coronation ceremony. What an honor this is. This is all thanks to my Rong'er."
"You know my Rong'er, he actually became an official, and he's a sixth-rank official. Our county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official."
"My Rong'er... Hey, Rong'er, why are you back?"
"Dad, I'm going home to get something." The little fat boy politely greeted his father and hurried back home with the servant.
"Oh, oh, okay. Ask your mother to help you find what you want. This child is very filial... See, she's busy." Wang Fugui turned around and continued to show off his son to the merchants.
After a while, he saw the maids and servants in the mansion starting to move things out.
"Wait! What are they doing?" Wang Fugui stared at the servants who were moving things in and out in confusion.
Xiao Liuzi, who was busy moving things, said without turning his head: "The young master said that he will have the final say in this family from now on. All these money are under the control of the young master now."
"Who? Who has the final say in this family?" Wang Fugui couldn't believe his ears.
"The young master has the final say in this family from now on. The young master said that the old master has made money all his life, but he has not become the richest man in Dongxia Country. I think he is not very capable. If the old master is still in charge of this family, it will fall apart sooner or later..."
"The young master also said that he could become an official at such a young age and could earn as much money as the old master could only earn after decades, so he should be the head of the family."
"Master also said..."
"Shut up!" Wang Fugui looked at the servant beside his son and kept calling him "Young Master" and his stomach twitched with anger.
Xiao Liuzi, who was suddenly yelled at, closed his mouth silently, but did not stop moving things with his hands.
Wang Fugui gritted his teeth and rushed into the mansion angrily, "That rebellious son, he rebelled, he really rebelled."
I saw the rebellious son directing the servants to move things in the warehouse.
Wang Fugui picked up the broom beside him and said, "Stop the rebellion, Wang Zherong, what are you doing? You are so capable that you have raided your own house."
The little fat boy, who was standing on the stone table directing the servants to work, looked at his father, and didn't quite understand why he was so angry.
"Dad, I didn't confiscate the house. I was just moving things."
"Where are you moving to? These are all good things from the warehouse, bring them back to me quickly."
"No, Dad. I've decided that I will be in charge of the family's money from now on. If you want to buy something, just tell your son that I will give you the money."
Wang Fugui was so angry that he almost laughed, "I earn my own money, but I still need your approval to buy things?"
The little fat boy looked at the broom in his father's hand, ready to move, and knew that his father would definitely rush over and beat him up in the next second.
Don't be afraid, he holds an official position, and he and Zhao Hu have already discussed this. They cannot beat court officials at will.
"Dad, you are offended. How can you hold a broom in your hand? Come and pay your respects to me."
Wang Fugui, who could no longer bear it, picked up a broom and rushed towards his son.
The little fat boy flew onto the roof with a tiptoe, looking very proud.
Little brat, you think you can catch this young master? He is no longer the Wang Zherong who was beaten so hard that he could only run around the yard.
He is now a man with martial arts skills.
"Hmph! Dad, I am not the same person I used to be." The little fat boy stood on the roof with his hands on his hips, looking smug, as if that said, "Come up and hit me if you have the guts."
"You...get down here, or I'll beat you to death!"
"No, come up if you can!"
"Someone, get that brat down here! I'm going to beat him to death today!"
The father and son quarreled so fiercely that they successfully alarmed Old Lady Wang, Mrs. Wang and the young girl of the Wang family who had returned home for a short stay.
"What happened? Why is Rong'er on the roof? Come down quickly, come down quickly!" Old Lady Wang was very worried as she looked at her grandson standing on the roof.
Seeing his backer coming, the little fat boy complained quickly, "Grandma, mother, aunt, and father are going to beat me to death!"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Wang and Madam Wang both looked at Wang Fugui with eyes as sharp as blades, and when they saw the broom in his hand.
Madam Wang was immediately furious. "What the hell are you doing? Rong'er finally came back, and she hasn't even had time to get comfortable yet, and you, instead of asking about her well-being, are actually hitting her!"
She snatched the broom from Wang Fugui's hand and threw it far away. "He is the only precious child in our family. He has become an official at a young age, and he is a sixth-rank official beside the empress. How many people envy our Wang family for having such a promising son? If other families had supported him, they would not be able to do so. But you are so good that you start to use violence. If it gets out, people will laugh at you."
Madam Wang came forward and smelled the alcohol on Wang Fugui's body, then looked at him with a condemning look on her face, "Look at how slutty you are, did you drink a few glasses of cat urine outside? Did you listen to some bad friends' instigation and come back to take it out on Rong'er? Do you think you are a three-year-old child and let others instigate you?"
Wang Fugui was so angry that he fell backwards when he saw the boy on the roof who was becoming more and more arrogant because he had someone backing him up.
"Get down here! I'll beat you to death! Butler, get someone to arrest this brat!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun, the young lady of the Wang family, looked at her brother with disapproval on her face, "Brother! Rong'er is only eight years old and he has already sought an official position. All the sons of noble families and high-ranking officials in the capital entered officialdom when they were in their teens. Our merchant family can produce a sixth-rank official, which is a great thing for our Wang family to bring honor to our ancestors! All the neighbors are envious, and the elders in the clan hold ancestral hall meetings and talk about Rong'er's story as a good story! But you are here shouting for war and killing! Brother, are you confused?"
Wang Fugui looked at the three women in his family who were pointing at him and scolding him, and he felt miserable. "Do you know what this bastard wants to do?"Chapter 423 I am in charge of all the money in the house
Chapter 423 I am in charge of all the money in the house
"What's the matter? Is Rong'er going to rebel against you, his father, and be the master of the household?" Madam Sun felt that her brother was a little ungrateful. How could such a capable nephew dare to call for war and killing?
Old Madam Wang also banged her cane loudly. "Then tell me, what did Rong'er do that angered heaven and man to make you want to kill him? You even called the servants and guards in the mansion!"
Wang Fugui's fingers trembled with anger as he pointed at the bastard on the rooftop who was standing with his hands on his hips and looked like he deserved a beating. "This bastard really wanted to rebel against me, his father. As soon as he came back, he ran to the warehouse and called a bunch of servants to empty the warehouse, saying that... he said that..."
He covered his chest with one hand, too angry to speak.
"Why are you hesitating so much? Just tell me what it is." Mrs. Wang looked at him with frowned brows.
"This brat said he wants to be the boss of this family from now on!"
"As the head of the family, let him...what? What did you say?" Mrs. Wang suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"Not only that, this brat wants to empty the storehouse in our house. From now on, he has the final say in this family. If we want to buy anything, we have to ask this brat for money."
Wang Fugui became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he couldn't help but want to pick up a broom and beat someone up.
Mrs. Wang moved her hands, wanting to hand the broom back to the master.
This brat deserves a beating.
"Rong'er, where are you going to move the things in the warehouse?"
Old Lady Wang still had a filter for her own grandson. After all, he was the only child in the family. If the reason was not excessive, she felt that all this money would be left to Rong'er in the future anyway, so it didn't matter if she gave it to him sooner or later.
If my grandson really wants it now, there's no harm in giving it to him.
But I still need to ask clearly about this matter, for I am afraid that my grandson has been deceived.
"Rong'er, are you short of money? Come down first. Grandma has some money here. I'll give it to you."
Old Madam Wang waved to Wang Zherong on the roof.
Seeing that the danger was over, the little fat boy tiptoed and jumped in front of his grandmother.
"Grandma, I'm not short of money."
"How can you not be short of money? Last time in Nanling Country, I was in a hurry and forgot to ask you if you had enough money. I thought you were just going to the capital for a few days, so I only gave you a few hundred taels. Later, I told you to go to your aunt's house to get more money if you ran out of money, but you didn't go. You can't always use the princess's money. This is not good. We don't want to be those who take advantage of others, Rong'er, do you know?"
The more Mrs. Wang talked, the more she felt that this was not a good idea, so she quickly asked the nanny to get a box of gold jewelry from her storeroom.
"This is for Her Royal Highness. These are the jewels that Grandmother had specially made. Rong'er, you must remember to be loyal to the Empress in the future. Don't be an ungrateful person. Her Royal Highness is a noble lady of our Wang family!"
Even if her grandson followed the princess and didn't become an official, Old Lady Wang would be extremely grateful to her. If Rong'er hadn't followed the little princess, he would have been the same as before, a dandy boy who would not even be accepted into the school and would just hang around the streets all day.
Today's Rong'er is not only proficient in both literature and martial arts, but also has surpassed most of his peers in martial arts, and even many adults cannot compare with him.
The little fat boy held in his arms the gold jewelry that his grandmother had given to the village chief.
"Grandma, I really don't need money!"
"If you are not short of money, why do you move all the things in the warehouse? Did someone cheat you?" Old Lady Wang really couldn't understand why this child wanted so much money.
The little fat boy handed the box in his arms to Xiao Liuzi.
Then he put his hands behind his back, imitated the village chief's little adult appearance, raised his head, and announced to his grandmother: "Grandma, I have decided that I will be the head of this family from now on. Dad is not capable. If I let him be the head of the family in the future, our family will break up sooner or later!"
"Hey! You little bastard, you're asking for a beating!" Wang Fugui was so angry that he raised his hand, wanting to slap this little bastard on the head.
Mrs. Wang stopped her in time and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Listen to what your son has to say!"
"Do you also think that since I'm the head of the family, this family will break up sooner or later?" Wang Fugui looked at his wife in disbelief.
Madam Wang rolled her eyes at him and said, "I didn't say that. I just told you not to be anxious and listen to what your son has to say. Son, go ahead!"
Just now, Mrs. Wang hadn't reacted yet and thought her son was talking nonsense. But now, she felt relieved that her son could say such courageous words.
Old Lady Wang also looked at her grandson with admiration. No matter what his grandson said, he had such courage. If he was cultivated more in the future, he would surely be able to support their Wang family when he grew up.
The little fat boy looked at his parents, grandmother and aunt, and then expressed his thoughts, "I want to do business. From now on, the family's money will be under my control. I will definitely make a lot of money and come back."
When Wang Fugui heard this, his anger disappeared all of a sudden. He originally thought that this brat was doing the same thing as before and was going to squander all the money in the mansion, which made him very angry. But now that he heard that his son wanted to use the money in the mansion to do business, he suddenly became interested, and the anger in his eyes turned into pride.
"Oh? Then Rong'er, tell me what business you want to start and let me give you some advice."
The little fat man thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. "I plan to go to Nanling Country to do business!"
"Nanling Kingdom? Rong'er is planning to move all of our Wang family's cloth and jewelry businesses to Nanling Kingdom?"
"But our Wang family's business dealings are all in Dongxia Kingdom. If we rashly move to Nanling Kingdom, we will be unfamiliar with the place and it will be difficult to do business there." Wang Fugui felt that this method was very risky and he did not quite agree with it.
The little fat boy raised his chin with a confident look on his face, "I don't do business like cloth and jewelry! I'll leave those to Dad."
"I plan to sell things that are not available in Nanling Country, such as cloth and jewelry. They are also sold there. I plan to have our Wang family's caravan transport the things made in Taoyuan Village to Nanling Country to sell. I'm sure many people will buy them."
This was still influenced by the escort agency run by the village chief, especially yesterday when he saw Taoyuan Village was full of factories, the things produced were things he had never seen in Dongxia Country, many of them were based on drawings given by the village chief or the village chief told the villagers how to make them.
He had a mysterious confidence in the village chief, thinking that as long as he made things according to the village chief's design, everyone would like it.
Moreover, Nanling Kingdom and Qiongzhou are now one family, so there will be no obstacles in transporting things to Nanling Kingdom in the future.Chapter 424 The Wang Family Does Not Keep Idle People
Chapter 424 The Wang Family Does Not Keep Idle People
Especially since there are more people in Nanling than in Dongxia, if these things are shipped to Nanling, they will definitely be sold.
"But our Wang family's caravan has too few people, Dad, we need to recruit more people."
"We can also recruit some soldiers who have retired from the battlefield to join our caravan, just like the village chief's escort agency."
"Dad, I've thought about it. There will definitely be many people like Sister Xiaoxiao and the Fourth Prince's mother who will go to Nanling Country to open shops. We will sell these things to these shop owners in the future, so that we can make a lot of money."
"besides....."
Everyone in the Wang family was stunned when they heard Wang Zherong's words.
Is this still their son?
Mrs. Wang pinched Wang Fugui's arm with her fingertips, then twisted his wrist hard, and a muffled "ow" sound was heard.
Only after her master turned around with a grin did she loosen her hand that had left red marks on it.
He patted his chest slowly, tears welling up in his smile, "Master, I'm not dreaming. Our Rong'er has really come to his senses. He can actually explain these business matters so clearly."
Mrs. Wang looked at her son, whose words were full of confidence, with relief and pride in her eyes.
My son is no longer the naughty kid who was dismissed by his teacher and spent the whole day wandering around the streets with his servant.
"Well, well, well, you are worthy of being the head of our Wang family!" Old Madam Wang's vigorous voice rang out, and her laughter was full of satisfaction with her grandson.
"No, mother, you really let this brat be in charge?" Although Wang Fugui thought that his son's idea of transporting the things in Taoyuan Village to Nanling Kingdom to sell was a good idea, there were many things to pay attention to. How could his son, who was still so young, handle it well?
The dragon-headed cane in Old Madam Wang's hand hit the bluestone slab heavily, making a dull sound, which made Wang Fugui's heart tremble.
"Why not? Our Rong'er is so young and can explain all the tricks of the trade clearly. If he doesn't gain experience early on with such talent, wouldn't it ruin the future of our Wang family?"
"Starting tomorrow, you will follow Rong'er. If there is anything you don't understand, you can teach Rong'er. Sooner or later, the burden of the Wang family will fall on his shoulders!"
After saying this, a gratified smile spread across Old Lady Wang's face, as if she had already seen her grandson taking charge of the family business and bringing honor to the family.
When Mrs. Sun saw that her nephew seemed to have been reborn, her eyes were filled with pride.
Thinking of something, she hurriedly approached her nephew and whispered, "Rong'er, auntie wants to ask if I can get involved in your business?"
There was no reason for the fat guy to not use the labor force that came to his doorstep.
After all, after following the village chief for so long, the most important thing I learned was how to delegate things to others and be a hands-off boss.
He raised his chubby face and tried to look serious, "Okay, aunt, you can go with my mother to organize the caravan to Nanling Country."
"What...what, mother is going too?" Mrs. Wang looked confused.
"Of course, we don't keep idle people in our family, so grandma has to work too."
Mrs. Wang, who has already retired: ???
"Well, Rong'er, grandma is old now, so I won't get involved!"
"No, everyone in the house has to work to eat. Grandma, don't even think about eating for free." The little fat man acted like he was the boss and no one could say anything.
"Rong'er, this is your grandmother. She's so old. Do you still want to burden her?" Wang Fugui was so angry when he saw this man who didn't care about his relatives.
The fat boy who didn't recognize his relatives looked at his grandmother's healthy body and shook his head decisively, "No, grandma is at the age when she should work hard and can't rest."
"Mrs. Xu is the same age as grandma. She practices martial arts with us every day. Grandma will also practice martial arts in the future. You and Ma are the oldest in the mansion. You should get up early every day and practice with the guards."
Madam Wang clenched her cane and turned slowly, "Rong'er, grandma has something else to do, so I'll go back to the yard first."
The nanny quickly stepped forward to support the old lady, "Master, I will help the old lady back to the house first."
The oldest of the two men left the mansion at an increasingly faster pace and soon began to run.
Seeing the two people walking briskly, the little fat man nodded with satisfaction, "With the strength of Grandma and Mammy, they can practice Qinggong in the future."
The two old men who were running away quickly stumbled and almost fell forward.
Wang Family: ...
The little fat boy, who had been influenced by the village chief, made clear arrangements for everyone in the Wang family.
Fortunately, the little fat boy still remembered that his grandmother was old and did not assign any hard work to her. Apart from instructing her and the nanny to persist in practicing martial arts, he just let his grandmother play the role of a guardian of the house.
The role of his grandmother was to take care of the household affairs for him and prevent his parents and aunt from being lazy and spending money recklessly.
After arranging everything, the fat boy left leisurely with the family's money.
Wang Fugui looked at the empty warehouse and couldn't help but extend his hand.
Unfortunately, the fat boy, who had made up his mind, had already rushed to the princess's mansion with his servants.
This money is his start-up capital, and in the future he will be able to multiply it several times just like Miss Ji did.
After doing all this, the ambitious little fat boy felt like he could eat a few more bowls of rice tonight.
Xiaojiu looked at the money that the fat boy brought from home, and her hands were itching to move. In the end, it was the box of gold jewelry that the fat boy handed to her that calmed the evil seeds that were about to emerge in her.
"Thank you grandma, I'll treat you to a disco some other day!"
When she heard that the fat boy wanted to start his own business, especially to ship the products from Taoyuan Village to Nanling Country or even other countries to sell, she agreed with both hands.
A group of children talked to each other and gave the fat boy a lot of advice.
At this point, when the little fat boy was about to turn nine years old, he took over the leadership of the Wang family and started his business journey.
****
In a blink of an eye, the streets of Qiongzhou are dyed with wintersweets, and the festive atmosphere of Qiongzhou has come with the cold wind.
Since Princess Changle took over Qiongzhou, this abandoned, remote and poor town seems to have been reborn from the ashes and is full of vitality.
In the streets and alleys, the shouts of vendors can be heard one after another, the laughter of embroiderers interweaves into a song, the granaries of every household are full, the stoves are lit, and children are chasing each other in the streets and alleys holding colorful sugar figures.
The spring of Qiongzhou is spreading inch by inch towards the endless distance along the thoroughfare mapped out by Princess Changle.
Xiaojiu was wearing her brand new bright red jacket, which was embroidered with gold ingots densely all over. It looked so golden, as if she was wearing a whole mountain of gold on her body.
There were two little red silk buns on the top of her head, with silver bells hanging at the ends that jingled, making her chubby little face look even more rosy.
Just as conspicuous as her was the chicken standing with its head held high at her feet.
In the new year, Cuihua, who was one year older, tied a bright red silk ribbon around her neck. She also had small gold ingots pinned to her tail feathers and a gold lock around her neck.
It can be seen that the New Year's wish of this boy and this chicken is to become rich and wealthy.Chapter 425: Something Happened in the Capital
Chapter 425: Something Happened in the Capital
The warm winter sun shone obliquely on the courtyard of the princess's mansion. Xiaojiu, who had gotten up early, moved his rosewood chair, which was carved with dragons and phoenixes and covered with tiger skin cushions, to the yard.
She straightened her back seriously, with her two short legs dangling over the edge of the chair. Then she showed a kind face of an elder and sat steadily on the stool waiting for the villagers to come and greet her, the village chief, as they did in previous years.
As the morning mist dissipated, villagers came to pay New Year's greetings in an endless stream. Xiaojiu smiled and bared his teeth, nodding to everyone in a dignified manner. He thought he was smiling like a kind elder, but in the eyes of the villagers, he was just a lucky doll with a smile as beautiful as a flower, not to mention how festive it was.
Whenever a villager bowed to greet her, she would grab a handful of lucky money from the carved box held by the housekeeper and hand it to the villager with a smile, "Come on, come on, happy new year!"
This was also the most generous moment for Xiaojiu in the year. She gave out handfuls of New Year's money without feeling the slightest bit of reluctance, because she believed from the bottom of her heart that this was what she should do as a village chief.
However, she had made plans. After the New Year here, she would rush to the capital to collect New Year's money. She would also visit her parents, grandmother and other officials at her grandmother's house.
Thinking of this, Xiaojiu smiled even more brightly, and gave out lucky money faster. The red ribbon tied with the copper coins fluttered in her palm. The yard was full of children's cheering laughter, filling the entire courtyard of the princess's mansion with joy.
After the villagers finished their New Year's greetings and happily finished their New Year's Eve dinner, everyone was already having fun late into the night.
After washing up, Xiaojiu lay back in bed with her butt sticking out. She took out her abacus and began to calculate how much New Year's money she would receive when she returned to Beijing in a while.
Just when the abacus was halfway turned, the wooden door of the princess's mansion was slammed with a deafening bang.
She was so scared that she almost threw the abacus beads in her hand away.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? You scared me to death. It's New Year's Day. Believe it or not, I will beat you up!" Xiaojiu jumped up from the bed, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go out for a fight.
As soon as she walked into the yard, she heard an anxious shout, which sounded like the sky was falling.
"Village chief, village chief, something bad has happened in the capital!" The boss's hoarse voice sounded like he had swallowed a handful of crushed ice.
The anxious shouting at the gate successfully alarmed Zhao Hu and his group who were living in the princess's mansion, as well as Xiaojiu's new follower, Miss Ji.
Everyone looked at the group of big bosses who were supposed to be working as couriers in Beijing. Their hair was now messy and stained with grass leaves. Their originally straight black clothes were now wrinkled, and their shoes were covered in mud. The horses that followed them were so tired that they could hardly lift their heads.
One could tell at a glance that he had rushed back from the capital with almost no rest.
Returning with the boss and his entourage was also the sauerkraut that was brought back to Beijing by the emperor.
"What's wrong?" Everyone put on their clothes and came out and asked anxiously.
Xiaojiu, who had originally rolled up his sleeves to fight, gave up the idea and put his sleeves down.
The head of the family took the warm water handed over by the housekeeper, drank a mouthful to moisten his throat, and then panted and replied: "We had just arrived at the gate of the capital with the goods, but the gate was closed tightly, and there were soldiers guarding all around, and no one was allowed to enter! We were just worried, and while we were waiting outside the city, the pickled cabbage suddenly appeared..."
At this point, he continued to drink some warm water, then grabbed Suancai, who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, and moved closer to the village chief. "Well, this is too confusing, let Suancai tell you himself!"
Suancai was awakened by the sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiaojiu in front of him and jumped with excitement.
Xiaojiu held it down and smoothed its fur, then asked, "What's going on in the capital?"
Suancai then remembered the purpose of looking for the young master, "Something happened in the capital, the eldest prince rebelled, your father was beaten, your mother fainted, the queen mother was imprisoned, and the officials' houses were surrounded..."
"What?!" The flames in Xiaojiu's eyes suddenly flashed.
"Where is my big brother?"
Xiaojiu asked her doubts. She remembered that there were only second brother, third brother and fourth brother in the palace. Where did the eldest brother come from?
Along the way, Suancai had forgotten most of the things that happened, and his mind could only barely remember a few words, "made mistakes, was punished, repaired the imperial mausoleum, colluded with the Changsheng Palace, and came back to rebel!"
Listening carefully to the intermittent word "sauerkraut", I soon connected the dots.
"You mean, the eldest prince made a mistake before and was punished by the emperor to repair the imperial mausoleum, but he colluded with the Changsheng Palace and came back to rebel. He beat the emperor, the queen fainted, and the queen mother was locked up by them? The mansions of those officials in the capital were also surrounded?"
Suancai tried hard to digest Jingxin's words, and when it came out, it seemed to match up with what Eunuch Huang had said to it.
So he tapped his bird neck frantically.
The drunk little girl couldn't help but yell, "Peppa!"
A fancy-looking pony came running over quickly and stopped in front of Xiaojiu.
Yes, this pony sent by the Pingnan Marquis Mansion has been fed with body-building pills by Xiaojiu. Now it is no longer an ordinary pony, but a pony that can run very fast.
It now has a resounding name, which is Peppa. The owner said that this name is very domineering and loved by everyone, and it is very suitable for it.
It's just that it doesn't quite fit in with the current outfit, like the jingling gems hanging around the neck and the two bright red blushes on the horse's face.
More importantly, its hair has now been dyed pink by its little owner.
As soon as it goes out, everyone's eyes are on it. Sometimes, as a horse, it will lower its head in shame and try to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. It doesn't know whether its owner can hear its voice.
It is a future domineering horse on the grassland and really doesn't like pink.
Xiaojiu, who never thought there was anything wrong with his name, grabbed his weapon, did a backflip and rode on the horse.
She puffed up her face and looked obviously very angry.
He held the loudspeaker and ordered: "Princess's guards, listen up, follow me and go to the capital to fight!"
The sound of the horn spread to every corner of the princess's mansion.
"Yes!" Responses came from all directions, followed by the deafening sound of horse hooves.
Three thousand guards emerged on horseback from all over the princess's mansion.
Originally, there were only two thousand guards. Later, Fat Biao, who found the organization, brought a group of young men from Niutou Mountain to join. Now the guards of the princess's mansion have been successfully expanded to three thousand people, and the team is extremely large.
Zhao Hu and his group had already carried their small bags, mounted their horses, and stood beside the village chief, waiting for the village chief's order to gallop to the capital.
"Let's go!" Xiaojiu gave an order, and the huge team rushed towards the capital.Chapter 426: Rebellious Son, You Will Be Repaid
Chapter 426: Rebellious Son, You Will Be Repaid
In the capital city, in the dungeon, water drops slid down the stone wall, making a regular dripping sound in the silence.
When the emperor counted to the 1,090th drop, the iron gate was finally pushed open.
When the secret guard Lingyi heard the noise of the iron gate, he immediately stood in front of the emperor, with his right arm hanging unnaturally and blood dripping out of it.
In the dazzling light of the torches, the figure of the eldest prince walked towards them from afar, stepping on the puddles.
"Are you used to living here, father? How does it compare to the imperial mausoleum?" The eldest prince raised his lips slightly, and he was obviously very happy to see his father in such a miserable state.
The emperor's left shoulder was also bleeding, from the arrow wound he received when he broke out yesterday.
"Rebellious son..." The emperor's voice was hoarse, "You killed the king and usurped the throne, and colluded with the Palace of Eternal Life. You will be punished."
"Retribution?" The eldest prince suddenly laughed, and his laughter echoed in the cell, sounding particularly sinister. He kicked Lingyi on his injured right hand, knocking him to the ground, and stared into the emperor's eyes, "Father, do you still remember why you didn't think about retribution when you exiled me to the imperial mausoleum five years ago?"
"It's been five whole years! Has your father ever thought of me? We are both your flesh and blood, but your father only has my second and third brothers in his eyes."
I didn't expect that this rebellious son still had the nerve to mention what happened five years ago. If it weren't for this rebellious son, how could the Shi family's only grandson at that time, the son of Shi family's Dalang, have drowned in the water for no reason.
The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, and a sweet taste rose in his throat. "How dare you bring up five years ago? You are of royal blood, yet you were bewitched by the Palace of Eternal Life."
"The entire Shi family served the country with all their might, but the only grandson of the Shi family at the time died at the hands of a man with such wicked ambitions. I should have killed you with one sword back then, so as to avoid raising a tiger to cause trouble today!"
The eldest prince's eyes were gloomy, and he sneered, "Raising a tiger to cause trouble? Ha! Father, why are you still pretending to be righteous? Isn't it what my good father wants to see the Shi family end up like this? If the immortal hadn't told me that you were afraid of the Shi family and wanted to get rid of this thorn in your side, I would have cut the grass and rooted it out for you. Instead of being grateful to me, you sent me to the imperial mausoleum. Father is really cruel!"
"You keep saying that you regret not granting me death, but it's a pity that father no longer has this opportunity!"
"Five days from now, I will ascend the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony." He leaned close to the emperor's ear with a crazy look and whispered, "Father will surely...live a long life!"
"Rebellious son!" The emperor gritted his teeth and wished he could tear him to pieces alive.
The eldest prince looked at the embarrassed emperor and left with a very happy heart.
The iron door slammed shut, and Lingyi in the darkness started coughing violently, then sat up, supporting himself with his left arm.
The emperor looked at Lingyi's more serious injury and became extremely anxious. He tore off a piece of clean cloth from his inner garment and then clumsily bandaged Lingyi's wound.
"You must hold on, Changle will definitely come to rescue us."
Ling Yi endured the pain, and a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart when he heard this, "Did His Majesty send someone to pass on the message to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
The emperor paused as he bandaged his hand, then shook his head, "No."
Things happened so suddenly that he had no time to pass the message to Changle.
Zero One: ...
"Then how can your majesty be sure that the princess far away in Qiongzhou will know the news of what happened in the capital?"
The emperor consoled himself, "Changle has great magical powers, and he will definitely receive the news."
My daughter is a fairy. She has fairy friends in heaven named Nezha, the Monkey King, and Erlang Shen. These friends might pass on a message to Changle.
The emperor kept comforting himself that Changle was a god and would definitely come as soon as possible.
Eunuch Huang, the divine friend who secretly asked Suancai to pass the message to Princess Changle, was now being pressed on the bluestone slab in the laundry department, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
The new chief eunuch, whose apprentice used to bow and scrape before him, was now rubbing his fingers with the tip of his shoe.
"Master!" The new chief eunuch patted Eunuch Huang's face. "You taught me that I should know how to judge the situation in the palace. Who is on the side of the situation now? Hmm?"
There was a burst of flattering laughter all around, and several low-ranking eunuchs vied with each other to show off, pouring the stinking laundry water on Eunuch Huang.
The old man curled up, but he tightly protected the reading glasses given to him by the little princess hidden in his chest, for fear that they would be found out and stepped on by these bastards.
The new chief eunuch saw him guarding the thing on his chest tightly and immediately became interested, "What treasure are you hiding? Hand it over!"
After saying that, he kicked Eunuch Huang hard in the chest. The curled up old man quickly turned over and his foot landed on Eunuch Huang's back. He groaned and more blood came out of the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that he dared to resist, the new chief eunuch became even more curious and reached out to search out the thing that Eunuch Huang was protecting on his chest.
At this moment, a fishy wind wrapped in a black shadow rushed down. Before anyone could react, they saw a sharp eagle's beak pecking at the eunuch who stretched out his hand towards Eunuch Huang like lightning.
A shrill scream was heard, and warm blood mixed with minced flesh splattered on the pillars. The new chief eunuch, who had just been showing off his might, now collapsed to the ground and twitched wildly, with blood gushing from his empty eye sockets, like a devil crawling out of hell.
Several low-ranking eunuchs nearby were so frightened by this scene that they sat down on the ground.
He rolled and crawled out of the laundry department.
But who is the rookie? It was the most ferocious eagle in the Western Rong Kingdom. Although it later met a little old man who beat it so badly that even its parents didn't recognize it, and also gave it such a cowardly name.
But this does not affect its ferocity.
How dare these people bully that little old man? Do they really think that he is a rookie and can only eat vegetarian food?
It flapped its wings, creating a fishy gust of wind, and its eagle beak was as fast as lightning as it chased after the group of eunuchs and pecked at them. In a blink of an eye, all the eunuchs who had been bullying Eunuch Huang were turned into bloody corpses, and their wailing sounds echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
After pecking at the person, the rookie bird slowly walked to Eunuch Huang. Looking at the curled up old man, it was furious. These were the people who often fed and clothed it, and what a bunch of bastards.
The rookie turned around and headed towards the group of eunuchs again. Upon hearing the sound, the eunuchs with bloodshot eyes crawled and groped their way out of the courtyard.
Eunuch Huang, who had recovered from his shock, quickly called the rookie back.
"Rookie, don't chase, come back, there are archers everywhere outside."
Eunuch Huang did not expect that the eagle, which was always trying to escape back to Xirong, would save him. He was shocked and grateful.
I thought this eagle couldn't understand human language, but now it seems that this eagle can understand, but it was just not willing to pay attention to them before.
The rookie, who was determined to kill someone, flew back reluctantly when he heard Eunuch Huang's shout.
Oh! Humans are really busy. I kind of miss that little old man.Chapter 427 Cuihua's Little Brother
Chapter 427 Cuihua's Little Brother
Eunuch Huang is now very grateful that the animals around the little princess are all human-like.
Yesterday, the eldest prince led people to break into the palace and His Majesty was captured. He knew that the situation was not good, so he took advantage of the chaos to run to Suancai, the only one who could speak in the backyard, and told Suancai about the situation in the palace and asked it to go find Princess Changle as soon as possible.
Fortunately, he found her in time. After everything was explained, he was arrested as soon as Suancai left. Then he was sent to the laundry department by a group of eunuchs who took advantage of the situation.
Eunuch Huang can only pray that Suancai can quickly find Princess Changle and spread the news.
I don't know what's going on with His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Empress.
There were the eldest prince's men everywhere outside, and going out would mean death. Eunuch Huang could only rack his brains to think of a solution.
Finally, he looked at the rookie, "Rookie, can you leave the palace and go to the princess's residence?"
Eunuch Huang quickly took out paper and pen from the house. Although he didn't know what the point of passing the news to the princess's mansion was, he felt that the villagers and servants following the little princess might be able to think of a solution.
He handed the note to the rookie and warned him, "Rookie, be careful not to be discovered by the eldest prince's people."
The rookie grabbed the note with his claws, hesitated for a moment, and then flew towards the princess's mansion.
At this time, the princess's mansion had already been surrounded by officers and soldiers. Not only the princess's mansion, but most of the officials' mansions had been surrounded by officers and soldiers.
The part that was not surrounded must have also surrendered to the eldest prince.
Fortunately, it was now dark. Torches flickered outside the high walls of the princess's mansion. Iron-clad military boots crushed the moonlight on the ground, and the swords shone with a cold green light.
The rookie folded his wings, flew close to the wall, avoided the patrol route of the night guards, and successfully entered the princess's mansion.
Hearing some noise in a house, it walked over and knocked on the window.
Zhao Dalang and Liu Dazhui, who were fiddling with the medicine bottles in Qin Xu's room, paused and quickly stopped what they were doing and hid all the medicine bottles in the room.
He opened the window cautiously, and then saw the rookie who had been beaten by the village chief.
Zhao Dalang opened the window and let it in. When he saw the note in its paw, his expression became serious.
"Eunuch Huang said that he had asked Suancai to go to Qiongzhou to find the village chief. I don't know if the village chief can receive the message and come back in time."
Fortunately, every villager in Taoyuan Village is literate now, otherwise when the note from Eunuch Huang was passed to them, they might not be able to understand what was written on it.
"So what should we do now? The village chief's parents and grandmother are still in the palace."
Liu Dazhu looked anxious. The princess's mansion was surrounded, and the two of them and the guards couldn't get out. The eldest prince's men were everywhere outside.
"Sort out the medicine first and we'll send it to the palace. As long as we wait for the village chief to come back, these people can be saved." Zhao Dalang picked out all the medicines with the words "treating external injuries" on the bottles.
"Yes, yes, let Cuihua's brothers deliver it."
Fortunately, Qin Xu had foresight and knew that the people who followed the village chief would fight with others every day and suffer a lot of external injuries. For this reason, the most medicines he developed now are for treating external injuries.
The villagers also learned a lot. After all, the villagers of Taoyuan Village often competed in martial arts, and injuries were inevitable. If they had to trouble Doctor Qin every time they got injured, he would be very busy. So everyone only learned the basics.
The two men sorted out several copies of the medicine and called the chickens in the backyard.
Now Cuihua's followers are more than just chickens in the backyard of the princess's mansion. Cuihua's network of contacts is now greater than that of their village chief, just like in times of crisis like now.
As long as you tell Cuihua's name, all the chickens in the capital can be asked for help.
Zhao Dalang and Liu Dazhu called three clever chickens from the backyard, then took three cloth bags and put the medicine bottles in them.
"Go secretly to the palace to find the emperor, the empress dowager and the queen. Don't be discovered and give these medicine bottles to them. Do you understand?" Zhao Dalang asked, staring at the three chickens.
Three Chickens: ???
Seeing that the three chickens couldn't understand what they were saying at all, Liu Dazhu thought about it and decided to try using body language.
So, he started to demonstrate the task to the three chickens with his hands and feet.
After some magical operation.
The three chickens with cloth bags hanging on their bodies walked away proudly.
Now it was Zhao Dalang and Liu Dazhui's turn to be confused.
Zhao Dalang pointed at the three chickens that walked out of the house, and asked in confusion, "What does this mean? Did you understand?"
"They should... understand, right?" Liu Dazhu scratched his head, hoping that the three chickens really understood and could deliver the medicine to the village chief's parents and grandmother.
The three chickens that sneaked out of the princess's mansion did understand it. After all, Cuihua's chicken feed was not fed in vain.
Moreover, they are the three most powerful younger brothers under Cuihua, namely Hua Yi, Hua Er and Hua San. This is the order given by the boss according to their intelligence.
The three chickens strolled all the way to the vicinity of the imperial palace and crawled into a hole in the palace wall as if they were familiar with the place. The boss had often taken them to play here before. They had also accompanied the boss, the guardian chicken of the country, to the morning court several times, so they were very familiar with the imperial palace.
The three chickens wandered around and asked around, and finally found out the whereabouts of the emperor, the empress, and the queen mother.
So, the troops were divided into three groups and began to act.
In the dungeon, the stench of mold and blood mixed with the stench made it impossible to open one's eyes.
The Emperor and Lingyi leaned against each other, leaning against a slightly cleaner and less humid place.
Both of their clothes were soaked in blood, especially Lingyi, whose rib wound was so deep that the bone was visible.
The emperor looked at Lingyi's increasingly paler face with a heavy heart.
"Lingyi, just hold on a little longer, Changle will be here soon."
After the emperor finished speaking, he laughed out loud first, and his laughter was full of despair.
Qiongzhou is so far from the capital, and it is unknown when Changle will receive the news, not to mention that they have to rush all the way back to the capital. By the time Changle and his friends arrive, there will probably be only two cold corpses left in the dungeon.
Lingyi pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Your subordinate... is useless and cannot protect Your Majesty."
The emperor was about to say something when he heard a rustling sound. The two men, who were barely breathing, immediately became alert and sat up straight with difficulty.
After digging the soil for a long time from a rat hole and finally crawling out, Huayi realized deeply that he had to lose weight.
If it gets fatter, it will be on the table.
It shook its feathers, walked along the way, and finally saw the person sitting in a high seat when the boss was attending the morning court in a dim place.
Hua Yi used its clever head to think about it and confirmed that this was the person it was going to deliver the medicine to.
The emperor looked at the chicken walking towards him and missed the chicken he had enfeoffed as the guardian of the country. If it were here, it might be able to think of a solution.
'Cluck!'Chapter 428 Three Chickens Deliver Medicine
Chapter 428 Three Chickens Deliver Medicine
Hua Yi revealed the cloth bag hanging on his body.
Lingyi's eyes widened in surprise, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it's the three chickens beside the Guardian Chicken."
Lingyi, who was squatting on the beam before, had seen these chickens.
The emperor looked at the chicken carefully, and was surprised when he saw the cloth bag hanging on it.
He could not think of anyone else who could decorate this unique cloth bag except the people around Changle and the birds and animals.
Hua Yi tilted his head and rubbed the emperor's bloody fingers, urging: "Kakada!"
'Take the bag down quickly, it's so heavy!'
The emperor quickly untied the cloth bag tied to Hua Yi, his hands shaking with excitement.
He knew that Changle was omnipotent and would definitely come to save him.
He took out the medicine bottle from the cloth bag, read the instructions, and then prepared to apply the medicine to Lingyi, "Bear with it."
"Your Majesty, let me apply medicine to you first. Your injury..." Ling Yi raised his hand to stop him with a weak breath.
But the emperor held him down and said, "It's already this late, don't be so quick, hurry up."
After that, he picked up the medicine to reduce inflammation first and then began to apply the medicine to Lingyi according to the instructions.
After applying the medicine quickly, the two people regained hope.
"Lingyi, Changle will definitely come to rescue us." This time the emperor was no longer just comforting himself.
He remembered that he hadn't seen Suancai in the past few days, so he must have gone to deliver a message to Changle.
As long as I hold on for a few days, Changle, with his explosive temper, will definitely come to avenge me.
Thinking of this, the emperor finally felt relieved.
After looking at Hua Yi, he wondered if this chicken could understand what it was saying like Cui Hua.
"You did a great job. I will definitely credit you for this when I get out."
Hua Yi:? ?
The emperor touched his stomach, looked at Hua Yi, and continued to chat, "Didn't you bring any food when you came?"
Hua Yi:? ?
"Do you know anything about the Queen and my mother? How are they? Are they injured? What's the situation outside?"
Hua Yi:? ?
"Why don't you speak?"
Hua Yi:? ?
Lingyi couldn't bear it any longer and reminded him, "Your Majesty, this is not sauerkraut. It can't talk."
And it seems that he doesn't understand what Your Majesty said.
The emperor felt a little regretful, "Changle is too unreliable. He doesn't even know how to teach these birds and beasts to speak."
Zero One: Listen, His Majesty has started to act unreasonably again. As expected, the emperor, who knew he could be saved, is getting cocky again.
Lingyi closed his eyes and tried not to listen to His Majesty's noisy voice.
The emperor saw that he had been talking for a long time, but the chicken was still staring at him with its eyes wide open.
The emperor had no choice but to lower his requirements. He pointed to his stomach and made a gesture of eating.
Hua Yi finally understood, put on his cloth bag, and returned to the princess's mansion.
Cining Palace.
The eldest prince played with the phoenix hairpin that he had plucked from the empress dowager's head. He looked at the imperial grandmother who was sitting dignified without any servants around her, and said sarcastically, "Grandmother, why do you have to be so stubborn? Didn't you pay the most attention to rules back then? Now I am the ruler of the world, don't you congratulate your grandson?"
The Queen Mother was too lazy to open her eyes. She just sat there with her eyes closed, resting as if he didn't exist.
What the eldest prince hated the most was the Queen Mother's behavior. He kicked over the chair next to him in anger.
"Grandmother Royal still looks down on her grandson as always. From childhood to adulthood, Grandmother Royal is unwilling to look at her grandson even once. Is it just because my mother is the daughter of a small merchant?"
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and suddenly smiled, and that smile inexplicably made the eldest prince uncomfortable.
"Do you know why I don't like you?"
The eldest prince paused for a moment for the phoenix hairpin in his hand.
"When you were five years old, a cat in the imperial garden accidentally bumped into you, so you ordered your servants to beat it to death." The Queen Mother looked him straight in the eyes. "When you were six years old, you had someone put drugs in your teacher's tea because he said a few words to you in class..."
"Shut up!" The eldest prince roared and almost rushed forward to strangle the empress dowager's neck. Fortunately, he regained his senses in time.
The Queen Mother continued, "Jing Heng was only six years old when he fell into the water, and you were seven years old... a seven-year-old child knew how to hold your second brother's head in the water..."
Whenever the empress dowager thinks of the scene when the second child fell into the water, she still feels a chill all over her body. How could a child have such a bad mind? The second child was only one year younger than him at the time, so how could he do such a thing?
The second child was a very smart kid, but ever since he fell into the water and his head was soaked in water, his brain has not been very sharp.
The virtuous concubine was very sad about this, which was why she had been doing all kinds of small things to pave the way for the second prince over the years, and both she and the emperor turned a blind eye.
As for the second son's marriage, the emperor would personally intervene and try to choose a good one for him.
After hearing the Queen Mother's accusations, the eldest prince finally found a reason and laughed wildly, "So you know everything? So the Royal Grandmother has disliked me since I was a child."
His eyes suddenly turned fierce: "Grandmother thinks I am cruel and ruthless, but if I wasn't so cruel, how could I have the throne now?"
"You have been partial to my second brother since he was young. I heard that the throne of Nanling Kingdom was taken away by the newly found princess. But now Nanling Kingdom is ruled by my second brother. It's just that the little princess was young and was deceived by you. She gave up the throne and only had the empty title of empress."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at the eldest prince as if he were a fool.
She suddenly felt that the one who was stupid back then might not be the second brother, but this fool.
How could he tell that Changle's competitive and aggressive personality would lead to her giving up the throne to someone else?
"You are really stupid and evil!"
The eldest prince was immediately furious when he heard this, and smashed everything in the Cining Palace in anger, and then said, "Grandmother, please stay alive and watch how I sit firmly on this throne."
After saying that, he turned away.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said that she should not have been so soft-hearted in the first place.
Hua Er, who was squatting in the corner, saw the fierce man leave, then he came out of the bushes and walked into the Queen Mother's room.
The queen mother opened her eyes upon hearing the noise and saw a cloth bag hanging on a chicken.
This chicken is dressed very similar to the one Changle holds every day, but it doesn't look like Changle's.
The Queen Mother looked at it in confusion.
Hua Er came to the Queen Mother's feet, rubbed his head against her legs, and motioned her to look at his cloth bag.
The Queen Mother took off the cloth bag on the beast, and her eyes lit up when she saw the medicine inside.
He patted Hua Er's head and praised him, "Thank you for your hard work. I guess you are a friend of the pet next to Chang Le. Thank you for the medicine you brought."
The Queen Mother knew that it must be someone around Changle who asked the chicken to deliver medicine to the palace. She took out a pen and paper, described the situation in the palace, then stuffed the note back into the cloth bag and hung it back on Hua Er.Chapter 429 Arrival in the Capital
Chapter 429 Arrival in the Capital
"Be careful along the way. If you can escape this time, I will definitely reward you as a little hero."
Hua Er continued to rub his head against the empress dowager's palm, then returned to the princess's mansion with the cloth bag on his back.
Hua San searched for a long time before he found where the queen was, but the queen was unconscious and there were several men in black robes around her.
Hua San stayed outside the door for a long time, but the man in black robe inside didn't come out. It seemed that he was guarding the queen.
Hua San, who did not send the medicine out, could only continue wandering around the palace.
Fortunately, they finally strolled to the laundry department and saw Eunuch Huang, whom they had seen in the palace with the boss before and had fed them several times. Hua San simply gave the medicine to Eunuch Huang.
Eunuch Huang looked at the chicken that used to follow the guardian chicken, and his expectations for Princess Changle grew even deeper.
He murmured, "Your Highness will definitely make it, she will definitely make it."
Not only were people in the palace looking forward to Princess Changle's early arrival, but every household in the capital city was most hoping for Princess Changle to come and visit them.
Now they don't care whether they lose money or not, as long as they can catch the traitor, they will be willing to do so even if it means Princess Changle shits on their heads.
Princess Changle, who was being missed by everyone, was now leading Zhao Hu and others ahead.
After all, they are a group of ponies that have taken body-building pills. Although they are small, they definitely run faster than other horses.
And along the way, when Xiaojiu and the others felt tired, they would carry the pony and run.
In the past, it would take more than half a month to reach the capital city by express train of 800 miles, but Xiaojiu and his group managed to reach it in just one week.
It was mainly Xiaojiu who used his mental power to explore the way, take shortcuts, and travel through mountains and rivers to take the shortest possible route.
The guards on horseback who were not running as fast could only follow the marks made by Her Royal Highness the Princess and chase after her.
They didn't expect that there was such a short path back to the capital, which broadened their horizons.
The capital city at this time has completely changed.
Although the eldest prince has not yet held a formal coronation ceremony, he has already sat firmly on the throne.
Most of the officials in the court were replaced, all of them were replaced by the eldest prince's men, or people who had defected to the eldest prince.
The royal family members who received the secret letter delivered by the Queen Mother on a chicken, as well as the royalist factions of the Gu, Shen, Yan, and Su families, surrendered as requested by the Queen Mother, pretended to join the eldest prince, and secretly instigated the relationship between the Hall of Eternal Life and the eldest prince, successfully making the eldest prince have a grudge against the Hall of Eternal Life, and also successfully making the eldest prince reject the Hall of Eternal Life's suggestion of ascending the throne five days later.
According to them, the date for the Grand Prince's coronation should be chosen with full preparations, and everything should be prepared to the best of their ability, so that on the day of the coronation ceremony, the world can see that the Grand Prince's coronation is destined by heaven. Holding the coronation ceremony five days later was too hasty, and many things were not prepared.
The eldest prince thought it made sense, so he personally ordered the Imperial Observatory to pick an auspicious day to hold the ceremony.
The worst-hit family this time was the Second Prince's maternal grandfather's He family, whose entire family was sentenced to execution.
This was also due to the fact that Concubine Xian, a master of palace fighting in the harem, thought of the eldest prince, who was only seven years old at the time, pushing her son into the water and cruelly pressing her son's head in the water.
Whenever Concubine Xian thought of that scene, she felt so angry that she wanted to skin the eldest prince alive.
If it weren't for him, his son wouldn't have become so stupid and ended up like this.
A few days ago, Concubine Xian, who was bent on revenge, bribed the eunuchs in the palace to poison the eldest prince, who was almost killed. The eldest prince was furious and wanted to execute Concubine Xian and her family immediately. Fortunately, the Queen Mother intervened and asked the royal family to come forward to save Concubine Xian and changed the immediate execution to beheading on a later day. Now the entire He family is being detained in the Ministry of Justice by the eldest prince.
Of course, there are more than just the He family imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison. There are also the direct descendants of the royalist families such as the Gu family, the Shen family and the Yan family.
But the treatment is much better than that of the He family.
Although these royalists all defected to the eldest prince, the people in Changsheng Palace still asked the eldest prince to lock up the grandchildren of these officials.
According to Changshengdian, once everything is settled, the children from each mansion will be released.
With hostages in hand, you will always feel more at ease.
Originally, Changsheng Palace wanted to use poisonous insects to control these officials. Fortunately, the eldest prince still had a trace of rationality. If these people from Changsheng Palace were allowed to use poisonous insects to control the court officials, would the court still be able to make decisions?
This is also the reason why the eldest prince became suspicious of the Palace of Eternal Life when he was instigated by the group of royalists.
Xiaojiu and his group successfully arrived at the city gate of the capital and just in time for the coronation ceremony of the eldest prince.
To the gate of the capital, Xiaojiu and his group traveled at the fastest speed without much rest along the way. After arriving in the capital with great difficulty, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the gate of the capital.
The group of children soon attracted the attention of the guards at the city gate, and the news quickly spread to the palace.
The eldest prince was discussing the enthronement with Cang Huaijing, the elder of the Hall of Eternal Life, in the imperial study.
Hearing the report, he was stunned at first, then sneered, "A few little brats? They are just a bunch of kids, can they really turn the world upside down?"
Cang Huaijing, however, had a gloomy expression, tapped the table with his knuckles, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, this woman should not be underestimated."
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows. He didn't know if it was because the imperial mausoleum was not well-informed or what, but the eldest prince never believed that a five or six-year-old girl could be so powerful.
"Oh? What kind of threat can a five or six-year-old child pose? She's just a child. If she's obedient, let her be a good princess. If she's not obedient, then do the same as my father and lock her up in a dungeon."
Cang Huaijing snorted coldly, "Do you know that before me, many elders and disciples of the Hall of Immortality have been ordered to go out to do things, but up to now, none of them have returned. They are either dead or have rebelled."
He slowly raised his eyes, his eyes full of hatred and fear, "Some time ago, my brother was ordered to capture your father, but... he was thrown into a pool full of poisonous insects by the five or six-year-old kid you mentioned. He was burned to ashes, along with the poisonous insects."
"Your Highness, if she was really just an ordinary child, why would our Changsheng Palace... suffer such heavy casualties?"
The eldest prince's smile slowly froze. "Is a child really that powerful? Is it possible that there is a master hidden by my sister's side?"
If it weren't for this reason, he really couldn't believe that a child could have such great abilities, and he wasn't a monster.
Cang Huaijing said in a low voice, "My people checked and found that the people who often stay with Princess Changle are just a group of children and a half-grown boy."
