Perhaps infected by her words, the children then chattered and asked many other questions, Qu Wurong patiently answered them one by one, and finally invited all the children to eat what they called "delicious", and then left the restaurant and continued to walk ahead.

After coming out of the restaurant, the children did not disperse, they still followed them, anyway, they were the children of the vendors on the street, and they were not worried that they would not find their way home if they walked far.

The children also took the initiative to be a little guide for Qu Wurong, Qu Wurong asked them what he thought, and he could generally get more detailed answers, and later even Huang Li and Huang Ying joined the ranks of questions, but their questions were more varied, and they were more interested than Qu Wurong from a foreign country.

Seeing that even the always calm Huang Ying was dyed with a look of excitement, Qu Wurong asked helplessly, "Are you really locals?" I don't know, I thought you two were from other countries, too! ”

"We grew up in the palace since we were children, and we rarely have the opportunity to leave the palace, where will we know this!" Huang Li pouted and retorted, but his next move was much more restrained.

The group continued to walk forward, the children did not have any qualitative qualities, at first they were willing to follow them honestly, and then after getting along with them, a few of the more naughty boys couldn't help but spread their joy, and surrounded the four of them in the middle You chase me, or run to the other side of the street and run back.

In such a lively atmosphere, Qu Wurong and the others quickly walked to the end of the long street, standing here, they could clearly see the towering city gate not far away, and they were about to turn back, but they saw a carriage speeding from the direction of the city gate, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived in front of everyone.

The children were still playing the game of chasing me, Qu Wurong hurriedly asked them to stop, so as not to be hit by the speeding carriage, and the children all ran obediently to them, but there was a short boy who ran a step slower, and when he saw that he was about to be hit by the carriage, Qu Wurong rushed forward without thinking and he pulled away.

Seeing this, Xu Tianming's figure flashed, and with a figure and speed that ordinary people couldn't see clearly, he brought both of them back safely before the horse's front hooves fell, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Qu Wurong shook his head slightly, his eyes followed the carriage that was moving away, and after a long while, he asked again, "Did you see clearly who the person in the carriage was just now?" ”

"Nope." Xu Tianming's expression was filled with a hint of guilt, he was only concerned about saving people just now, and he didn't even look at the carriage, and naturally he didn't know who was sitting inside.

"Madam, it should be the carriage of the General's Mansion." At this time, Huang Li and Huang Ying came over, they were standing far away just now, and they were powerless to save people, so they focused on the carriage that almost hit someone, but it didn't even stop, and they also recognized who owned the carriage.

Qu Wurong frowned slightly, "That General's Mansion?" ”

In fact, when she asked this, she already had a vague answer in her heart, and then unexpectedly heard Huang Li reply: "Naturally, it is General Yu." ”

This expected answer made Qu Wurong's frowning brows deeper, it seems that this Jade Feilong is really very unpopular, a small coachman in his house dared to ignore human life on the street, Xiao Nansheng wanted to get rid of him, he must have endured it for a long time.

After such a small episode just now, Qu Wurong was not in the mood to continue shopping, so the children who followed them all went home separately, and she also returned to the palace with Huang Li, Huang Ying and Xu Tianming.

Xu Tianming broke up with the other three after entering the palace, his mission this time has been completed, and it is time to return to Xiao Nansheng's side to resume his life, while Qu Wurong's master and servant returned to Yuxin Palace, but as soon as they entered the door, they saw Xiao Nansheng already sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Coming back so early?" Seeing them come in, Xiao Nansheng put down the teacup in his hand and spoke.

"You're not waiting for me here, are you?" Qu Wurong looked at him strangely, "Didn't Guard Xu say that you have to deal with government affairs in the imperial study all day today?" ”

Xiao Nansheng smiled when he heard this: "I am a person, no matter how busy I am, I still need to eat and rest!" After a pause, he continued, "Have you had lunch?" ”

At this time, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Qu Wurong and the others had simply eaten in the restaurant just now, and they didn't feel hungry at this time, but when they heard him ask, Qu Wurong still replied: "Eat a little casually outside, if you haven't used it yet, I'll let them prepare." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Nansheng nodded, and reviewed the recital all morning, and he was indeed hungry.

Qu Wurong glanced at Huang Li and Huang Ying beside her, so the two girls took someone to the imperial dining room to pass the meal, and she sat down on the other side of the table, lifted the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

"I've always thought it was strange before, why do you Daliang people like to drink such bitter and astringent things?" Xiao Nansheng said, raising the cup in his hand, "Now I finally understand, although this tea is indeed very bitter when it is first drunk in the mouth, but after suffering from this bitterness, what is left is an endless sweetness that is evocative." ”

Qu Wurong slightly hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "Does it feel like life?" ”

"That's true!" Xiao Nansheng agreed with her statement, "By the way, you have nothing to gain from leaving the palace this time?" ”

"Yes!" Qu Wurong nodded, "The harvest is that I believe what you said." ”

Xiao Nansheng was slightly stunned, and when he understood what she meant, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, "Could it be that you always thought I was lying to you?" ”

"If you were forced by someone else to do something you didn't want to do, you wouldn't have believed that person's words lightly, right?" Qu Wurong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with thinking so.

After all, when Xiao Nansheng proposed to let her come to Bailiao to make peace, he used the alliance between the two countries as a bargaining chip to force her to agree, which was not a fair and upright means, and it was difficult for people not to doubt his true intentions in doing so.

What she said made sense, so Xiao Nansheng stopped bothering about this question and asked again: "Then are you willing to help me now?" ”

"Sort of." Qu Wurong nodded his chin lightly, "If you can really let the people here live a peaceful, stable, and prosperous life, then I can help you accumulate blessings for yourself." ”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Nansheng's heart finally relaxed.

Although he can use the alliance between the two countries as a bargaining chip to blackmail her into marrying Bailiao from Daliang, but that is only to get her as a person, and she may not be willing to help herself sincerely; Now that she has personally experienced the lives of the people and is willing to stay and help herself, then his revitalization of Bailiao will be just around the corner.

Qu Wurong didn't know these thoughts in his heart, thought about it, and told him what he found outside the palace today, "I found that all the grain shops in Xiaocheng are named Jade Mansion, do you know about this?" ”

Xiao Nansheng pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I know." ”

Of course, he knew that not long after he ascended the throne as the lord of the country, Yu Feilong was no longer satisfied with only mastering military power, and began to set up shops in various industries, so that in a few years, almost the economic lifeline of the entire Bailiao Kingdom was in his hands, which was also a very important reason why Xiao Nansheng had endured for so many years, but he couldn't move him lightly.

Hearing his answer, Qu Wurong's heart sank, if Yu Feilong could do so much without Xiao Nansheng knowing, then his power might be even more complicated than she imagined, and things would become even more tricky!

Yuqing Palace.

Looking at the silent brother opposite, Yu Ruyi couldn't help but speak: "Brother, you have something to say, what should we do now?" ”

"What to do?" Yu Feilong put down the milky white milk wine in his hand and looked at his sister who was a little restless very puzzled, "It's just that the lord of the country has married a new lady, what are you nervous about?" ”

Yu Ruyi glanced at him when she heard this, "How can I not be nervous?" Why do you think the lord of the country let the girl here not marry, but has to come back from other places to marry a lady? ”

"What do you mean......" Hearing her words, Jade Feilong frowned as if he had thought of something, but he quickly dismissed the thought, "Impossible! Even if he wants to find someone to compete with me, then he should find a man, what is the matter with marrying a woman and coming back? ”

What he said made sense, but Yu Ruyi was still not at ease, "Then what if it's true?" ”

Yu Feilong waved his hand indifferently, "Even if it's really as you think, then we have nothing to be afraid of, your brother and I have already held the power in the palm of our hands, and if we don't move now, it's just that we haven't found a suitable successor yet, as long as we find it, we can drive him down from the position of the lord of the country at any time!" ”

At that time, he just fell in love with Xiao Nansheng's weak foundation in the court and was at his mercy, so he offered to support him to ascend to the throne of the country, and married his only sister to him, but who knew that after Xiao Nansheng became the lord of the country, he actually dared to go against his will and canonized a wild girl who came out of nowhere as the queen, and he also went against him everywhere when dealing with political affairs.

Seeing him look so confident, Yu Ruyi didn't say anything anymore.

"It's not the new woman you're worried about right now." After a while, Yu Feilong spoke again, "It's the evil seed in Xiao Qiao'er's belly, if she is allowed to give birth to the child smoothly, then even if we find a suitable successor, it will become unjustifiable." ”

Yu Ruyi was slightly stunned, "You don't want me to kill her child, right?" ”

"How can you do such a thing yourself?" Yu Feilong said this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile, "Naturally, I want to let others do it for me, but I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"What's the strategy?" Yu Ruyi asked curiously.

Yu Feilong raised his hand and beckoned to her, motioning for her to come over, and then whispered his plan in her ear, "This will not only get rid of the evil seed in Xiao Qiao'er's stomach to prevent future troubles, but also get rid of that woman with Xiao Nansheng's hand, so you don't have to worry that she will be the one Xiao Nansheng invited back to deal with us!" ”
