Zhao Li took the blame and knelt down. Before he could get the advantage, he was completely led by Chen Xueying. However, these common people seemed to have been bewitched, and they all stood on Princess Dayan's side.
The uninformed people thought that he, Zhao Li, was from an enemy country coming to make peace with him, which was simply unreasonable.
"I dare to ask the Crown Princess, this is the house of the Marquis Mansion, where did you get it?"
Although Zhao Li was so angry that he was dizzy, he still had to endure the humiliation and ask clearly.
"I asked the palace officials to take care of it. Since General Zhao wants to know, he has to ask them." Chen Xueying waved her hand.
Immediately, a round-faced little eunuch came over. He was Erxi, the eunuch used by Princess Yuanjin.
"General Zhao, this house was bought by a slave with money. If you have anything to ask, just ask." Erxi bowed politely and couldn't make any mistakes at all.
"The houses of the noble family are all given by the royal family. Mr. Yu is a meritorious minister and cannot be bought or sold. The house of Yu Yu's family can only be taken back by the court. You have been deceived." Zhao Li said in a cold tone. .
I was even applauding from the bottom of my heart. It didn’t matter if I had money, but when it came to their territory, I couldn’t just be taken advantage of.
"Don't worry about this. Dayan's Wangjing dignitaries are everywhere, and I am very cautious about them. When I bought the house, I asked specifically about it. The Yuhou family has a great business, and this house was later bought from a merchant. It’s not given by the emperor, it’s clearly written on the land and house deeds.”
"The princess told the slave that the house he bought must be spacious and wealthy, and the Feng Shui layout must be auspicious. The owner of the house must have status and cannot be lived by some cats and dogs. The slave came two days in advance and almost broke his leg. I have inquired all over this Jicheng, and it was not easy to choose this place."
"There are not many good houses in Jicheng, but most of the merchants' houses have a copper stench that would spoil the princess. Other noble houses are either old and cramped, or cannot be bought or sold, but this one is the only one that is still good. It's consistent." Erxi talked eloquently, and took credit for himself from time to time.
Of course, hearing these words made Zhao Li's brows jump. He could only say what kind of master he wanted and what kind of slaves he raised.
It's just asking him to explain the origin of the house. These few words are still full of hooks, strange and sinister, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
"General Zhao, do you have any questions?" Erxi couldn't help but ask again when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Li felt aggrieved from the bottom of his heart. He only hated the fact that the Yu family was unworthy of their descendants and even sold the house, letting Princess Dayan step on her head.
Unfortunately, his surname was not Yu, so he was completely helpless and could only respond: "No."
"Oh, please give me a break. The Crown Princess has come all the way to Northern Qi to get married. After a long journey, she has not been able to enter the palace yet. She is worshiping outside the palace. Now she is very tired. Let her come in and have a rest."
Er Xi quickly walked around him, walked to Chen Xueying's side, bent down, lowered her head, and raised her arms, obviously letting her help her into the house.
Zhao Li looked at his dog-legged appearance and cursed in his heart. Dayan is indeed a gathering place for cowards. The face of this dog slave is really unsightly.
The corner of Chen Xueying's lips curled up. The palace servants around the original owner still had to use it.
Both Hua Rong and this father-in-law are able to stand alone.
Chen Xueying raised her hand to catch it when a cold wind suddenly blew by.
"Huchihuchi——" The rough breathing of wild animals rang in my ears.
What caught his eye was a gray wolf. It was very agile and took advantage of everyone's distraction to leap over the guards and pounce on them.
Her shoulders were grabbed and she was pulled aside.
Erxi, who was ignored, was thrown to the ground and screamed in horror.
"Ho-ho--" The gray wolf stepped on Er Xi's shoulder with its huge claws. At the same time, he raised his head and bared his teeth at Chen Xueying. His gray eyes looked at her ruthlessly, with warning and murderous intent.
"Protect the princess." Liu Lei reacted immediately, pulled out his long knife and was about to rush over.
Zhao Li stopped him directly, "General Zhao, don't be impulsive. The wolf is the patron saint in our Northern Qi. This is the wolf raised by the fourth prince. It is just playing."
The gray wolf seemed to understand human speech, and immediately looked at Liu Lei, his eyes resting on his long knife, and the hatred in his eyes was even worse.
Liu Lei also recognized the wolf. There was a wound on the back of the wolf's neck. It was obviously the leading wolf that attacked the camp that night.
"Playing? General Zhao, don't be kidding. He led a pack of wolves to sneak attack on our camp before. If the soldiers weren't alert, I'm afraid several people would have become its food." Liu Lei's whole body was tense, he felt this beast The fighting spirit emerging from his body.
"General Liu, I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, just ask everyone." Zhao Li had no choice but to throw the problem to the people.
"Yes, yes, General Dayan, wolves are the patron saint of Northern Qi. They won't hurt people, they are just a little naughty."
"No, they won't hurt good people. If they commit crimes, they will bite them to death."
"That's right, there was a kidnapper who stole a child and ran away. Thanks to a wolf nearby, he rushed over and bit the kidnapper alive."
"They have sharp noses and sharp claws. They are worthy of being wolf gods!"
This time public opinion is obviously on the side of the wolf. Faced with such strong public opinion, the knife in Liu Lei's hand is as heavy as a thousand pounds, so naturally he can't take action again.
Chen Xueying's eyes darkened slightly. She was not good at dealing with animals.
Although humans are cunning, they are sociable.
Either bought by interests or tied by emotions.
But when it comes to animals, they are more sensitive than humans. They can even tell the difference between hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and they will not bend for money.
For example, right now, no matter how much money she throws away, the wolf in front of her won't listen to her.
"Let it go." She turned her head and said to the man who had remained silent, her tone was very unkind.
Lu Zhao turned his head and glanced, his eyes resting on the golden hairpin on the woman's head.
Chen Xueying wears a crested hairpin on each side. There are several long gold chains hanging from the hairpin's head, which looks like a walking wave.
She used to pay great attention to her manners when walking. The chain swayed gently, but the arc was not too large to catch people's eyes.
But just now he was in a hurry, and when he pulled her over, he failed to control his strength.
Let her bump directly into him, and the chain on the golden hairpin suddenly clanked and was thrown directly into his face.
Chen Xueying was focused on staring at Gray Wolf and didn't pay much attention to this, but Lu Zhao seemed a little weird.
He grew up under the rule of the jungle and was very sensitive to attacks from others. He believed in a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
But now it was a golden hairpin that hit him, did he want to give it back?
No, it felt a bit humiliating to be beaten by Jin Chai.
"Tsk, why are you in such a daze?" Chen Xueying said for a long time, but before receiving a reply, she couldn't help but push him with her arm.
The man came back to his senses and said to the gray wolf: "Let go."
The gray wolf was originally arrogant, but when he heard Lu Zhao's voice, his body suddenly collapsed even tighter, his breathing became more rapid, and his head lowered unconsciously.
Obviously it was afraid of Lu Zhao.
After a while, it was defeated and jumped directly from Erxi, but it was unwilling to leave.
It bared its teeth at Chen Xueying, obviously unwilling to leave like this.
After hesitating for a moment, it jumped back again.
When everyone saw it moving away from the Crown Princess, they thought it was giving up and leaving. Unexpectedly, it did not move away from the crowd. Instead, it jumped directly to the carriage Chen Xueying was riding in, raised its hind legs, and peed on the wheel on the spot.
After urinating, it bared its teeth at the Dayan people again, showing a provocative tone before leaping away again.
Chen Xueying's head was buzzing. She was humiliated by a wolf in front of her!
Still in public.
The wolf didn't so much piss on her car as it stepped on her face.
It was even the most humiliating moment since she traveled through time.
Perhaps sensing her low pressure, Lu Zhao rarely paid attention. He put the matter of being beaten by Jin Chai behind and took a serious look at her.
After seeing Chen Xueying shaking with anger, he explained in a low voice: "It is a wolf raised by the fourth brother, who is not very smart."
Although this is not a consolation, for Lu Zhao, this sentence is already a reflection of his efforts.
Chen Xueying laughed angrily: "Your Highness, your fourth brother is a fool, but you are not a fool. I have heard of your name for a long time when I was in Dayan, and you also said that you are most taboo about others touching you. I have never raised you. A wolf, but we also know that it has many habits similar to those of a dog, so is it just trying to enclose its territory?"
"Lu Zhao, does that beast want to get his hands on your crown princess?"
In the end, she called him by his first name, and her words were full of thorns.
Lu Zhao's pupils narrowed slightly and he looked at her coldly.
"What do you want to do? Kill it?"
Chen Xueying sneered: "I am the most merciful and soft-hearted person. How can I be the kind of person who shouts and kills you? If you catch it, I will neither kill it nor seriously injure it. I will just give it a slight punishment."
"Of course His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to arrest you, so I asked the soldiers of Dayan to take action. It's just out of the friendship between husband and wife that I would like to inform you in advance."
Seeing that she was serious and hearing her promise that she would not kill the wolf, Lu Zhao softened his attitude.
"Someone will send the wolf later. What benefits do you want to give Gu?"
When Chen Xueying heard the first half of the sentence, she couldn't help but nodded. It was okay. This man was not without merit.
But when he came to the second half of the sentence, he suddenly became furious and gritted his teeth and said: "Are you obsessed with money? Even a thousand taels of gold can't satisfy you. Why are you asking me for money for such a trivial matter?"
There is no future for picking on men.
"Just now, someone told Gu that if you spread money all over the city and bribe the people to praise you, you will step on Gu's head." The man blinked and said casually.
Chen Xueying's anger disappeared instantly.
Damn it, is this man equipped with a radar? He was caught so quickly.
"How much do you want? Your Highness, if you always ask women for money, others will look down on you." Although she relented, she still couldn't help but stab him a few times.
"Give me this phoenix hairpin on your head." Lu Zhao raised his hand and pointed to the phoenix hairpin on her left.
His request was simply incomprehensible, but Chen Xueying complied anyway, without avoiding anyone, she raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin and stuffed it into his hand.
Maybe I saw that this phoenix hairpin was made of gold and I could exchange it for some money.
"Oh, everyone, look, the Crown Princess pulled out the phoenix hairpin from her head and gave it to the Crown Prince."
"Is this a token of engagement?"
"Hahaha, sure, the prince and the princess are really in love!"
The atmosphere was awkward, and the people who hid in the crowd and took the money were feeling uneasy.
They didn't know how to appease the princess, and they were even more worried about whether they would not be able to receive the money later. When they happened to see this scene, they all regained their strength and began to praise her.
