Chapter 198 Countdown to Northland
Zhao Wanyi's mother is a clan daughter, also surnamed Li, so she is related to the princess.
The two met each other, and Li Jinghe had to think more.
My elder brother said that on the surface, Zhao Houfu did not take sides, but in fact, he had long been biased towards the prince.
Zhao Wanyi appeared here on purpose?
She really stood up for her brother and wanted to win over the Imperial Master through this woman. If that didn't work, she couldn't let this woman leave today.
Otherwise, why would I, a majestic princess, wait here to see this woman?
"When this girl meets the princess, won't she be polite?" The female officer spoke calmly, but with a condescending tone.
"My lord said when he left the capital, the girl is the same as him and does not need to bow to anyone." Lin Bo said.
At the palace banquet, I didn't even bow to the emperor, let alone now.
They have to rely on the adults to deal with the foreigners. Once the adults leave the capital, they become more stubborn again.
The female officer was about to say something more, but she put aside her dissatisfaction when she thought of the way the Imperial Master behaved in the capital on weekdays.
"It doesn't matter, I'll have a chat with this girl." Li Jinghe curled her lips and smiled, her tone unquestionable.
The official level is overwhelming, let alone the supreme imperial power.
Zhao Wanyi couldn't go with her, so she deliberately fell one step behind and walked to Shen You, her voice anxious,
"What are you doing when you get off the carriage? Did you see that there are princess guards outside the door?"
Shen You looked at her strangely, "I didn't expect you to care about me so much."
"Who cares about you!" Zhao Wanyi stamped her foot, "I care about the good things in your hands."
"Don't worry, Yu Renxiao left one specially for you."
After all, Miss Zhao is really rich!
"You" Zhao Wanyi was stunned. She still wants to leave something for herself?
Zhao Wanyi wanted to give a few reminders, but the female officer next to the princess had already turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Shen You.
He said he was asking, but his behavior was very forceful.
Zhao Wanyi watched Shen You walking towards the elegant room in the middle of the lake, feeling anxious and not knowing what to do for a moment.
Until I saw someone walking into the courtyard quickly, my eyes suddenly brightened.
Someone who can help is here!
Zhao Wanyi quickly stopped Li Heng and told her what had just happened.
"Jinghe asked someone to stop Miss Shen from the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"
Li Heng came here just after receiving the news, but in order to prevent others from knowing Shen You's identity, he could only pretend not to know him.
When he said 'Miss Shen from the imperial master's residence', he was extremely reluctant.
"That's right." Zhao Wanyi nodded.
By helping Miss Shen, she could gain favors from the Imperial Master, and she felt that His Highness would not ignore her.
"People from Prince Cheng's residence are here today, please wait outside first." Li Heng said gently.
Zhao Wanyi readily agreed. She knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that she would be involved.
She and her personal maid left the teahouse first, and Li Heng strode towards the Huxin Pavilion. Some people wanted to stop him, but after all, he was still the prince, and they couldn't stop him.
Inside the pavilion in the center of the lake.
As soon as Shen You sat down, she was looking at the princess's hair accessories, so she almost went up to look at them, which made people look at her.
This is a flower-tree-shaped hair crown. The butterfly on it is inlaid in the back, or is the machine-carved jade she sold.
It looks great together.
"What are you looking at?" The thought of what to say turned into this sentence.
"The princess's hair accessories are beautiful. I am also a jewelry maker, so I take a closer look."
Li Jinghe:? ? ? Do you look like a lowly craftsman?
The hairpin on her head is really good. There is no such fine polished crystal in the palace. The core of the flower is made of Western diamonds, which is particularly sparkling.
At the same time, Li Jinghe also understood something.
She has a feeling similar to that of the imperial master. She is careless and has no respect for the imperial power, which is really unpleasant.
"Miss Shen likes it. I still have many such jewelry there. I can send them to the imperial master's house later."
If you can use these things to win over the relationship with the National Preceptor's Office, it will be worthwhile.
"No need." Shen You smiled.
What she wants is craftsmanship, and it’s hard to get what the other party gives you for free. Li Jinghe heard her refusal, and her expression became a little darker.
"Miss Shen, my brother, King Cheng, has always admired the ability of the national master, but..."
Speaking of which, Li Heng came.
"Jinghe, if something happens to the people in the Imperial Preceptor's house when you stop them, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain."
Li Heng raised his eyes, his face showed no emotion, and his eyes were stern.
In Li Jinghe’s impression, this half-brother has rarely been so angry
"I just want to have a cup of tea with Miss Shen. Why is my brother so anxious?"
"Brothers and sisters, we don't need to beat around the bush when we talk, King Cheng is here too." Li Heng said meaningfully, "What you are doing is really not a good idea."
Publicly or privately, he could not let King Cheng and Jinghe provoke Shen You.
The whole Daqi still depends on Miss Shen's business.
If Miss Shen is unhappy, there will be problems with Beidi's supplies!
At this juncture, if you insist on provoking Miss Shen and the Imperial Master, you will put Daqi in danger!
At the same time, he would never give King Cheng a chance to make a deal with Miss Shen.
"Miss Shen, Jinghe is being ignorant today, please don't take it to heart."
Seeing Li Heng treating Shen You so politely, Li Jinghe's face showed some disbelief.
The prince and the imperial master usually don't seem to deal with each other very well. Could it be that they have been in contact with each other in private?
The matter has come to this, and it is impossible to detain people today.
Li Jinghe could only watch helplessly. The person who finally waited for the opportunity to intercept was sent out by the prince.
Shen You left the private room and walked out while thinking about the information about Shouling Village. One of the unavoidable things about this village was that the person in charge had someone in his family who was related to the Princess Mansion.
Don't know if this line is useful yet.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Heng's voice suddenly sounded beside him, "The situation in the capital is complicated, why don't I send you back?"
He was smiling and his eyes were full of expectation.
"Thank you for your kindness, no need." Shen You politely refused, and turned to look at Zhao Wanyi who was standing at the door, "Thank you also, Miss Zhao. When the new color of lipstick arrives, I will give you one as a thank you gift."< br>
Zhao Wanyi couldn't believe it, "Really?"
She didn't know that Shopkeeper Shen didn't do business at a loss, and not even a penny was cheap. It was really not easy to give such expensive things.
"Really."
Ms. Zhao bought so many things, and the reward was only three to four hundred yuan for a lipstick, which was nothing.
After saying goodbye to them, Shen You turned around and got on the carriage, not seeing the disappointed look in Li Heng's eyes behind him.
Not long after returning to the shop, Liu Zheng brought the saltpeter and sulfur that Shen You asked for. The extraction level in ancient times was relatively poor and had many impurities.
It shouldn’t be a problem for the people in [Lancheng] Shelter.
She told Liu Zheng that she would arrive in Beidi today, and there was no one in the Qingshi Lane shop during this time.
Shen You was going to have dinner and then switch coordinates.
In the afternoon, start by ordering the fried chicken on the Crazy Thursday discount.
There is something magical about fried chicken. If you eat too much, you will feel the same taste. If you don't eat it for a while, you will want to eat it again.
——
At this time, Shuozhou City in the north.
It's already dark here.
Liu Yunyan burned incense for his father as usual before heading to the city gate.
They had to guard against sneak attacks by foreigners at night and did not dare to relax for a moment.
"Second Miss, the people sent out are here to report that the foreigners have gathered a large number of soldiers and horses. It is estimated that they will officially attack the city in the next two days." Uncle Zhou said worriedly.
Except for the first trial, the foreigners later consumed them.
For foreigners, it's a small fight, but they really have to fight with all their strength to resist.
Such a huge disparity in combat power, coupled with the fact that there are no supplies or troops left in the city to consume.
Even though he knew he was going to die, he still had to persist until the last moment.
