After Qinglong came out of Tianxian Tower, he came to a carriage, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, everything is done."
"Um."
Yang Xun nodded in the car, and Cai Wenji beside him quickly cut a piece of peach meat with a knife and fed it to Yang Xun's mouth.
The peach flesh was sweet and delicious. Yang Xun smiled slightly and asked, "How is my uncle doing?"
"My subordinates came to report that Commander Liu has successfully taken over the Yulin Guards, and all those who were dissatisfied in the army have been punished on the spot!" Qinglong said truthfully.
Yang Xun nodded, his uncle was also a general and had good martial arts skills, but since his grandfather retired, he also resigned and returned home.
Although my uncle has been idle at home for so many years, he has never slackened in his martial arts. This time, he was asked to take charge of the Habayashi Guards.
Although the Habayashi Guards are not strong in combat effectiveness, they still have twenty to thirty thousand people, and they still have to be in the hands of their own people.
"By the way, what is that guy Li Ping'an doing?" Yang Xun asked. Yang Xun had not seen this guy since he entered Beijing.
"Back to your lord, Mr. Li has been hanging out in various brothels all day since he came to Beijing, eating, drinking and having fun with a group of young men from aristocratic families."
Hearing this, Yang Xun was speechless. Didn't this guy say he quit?
However, Yang Xun knew very well that this guy seemed to be eating, drinking and having fun with those young masters, but in fact, he secretly took on the responsibility of being a social butterfly and was helping Yang Xun win over these aristocratic families in the capital.
Don't underestimate these aristocratic families, if a war really breaks out, these aristocratic families are all about money!
But this kid lives in a brothel all day long, and with this way of playing, he will die in a woman's bed sooner or later.
"Send a few people to protect him. Don't let him be bullied by others." Yang Xun ordered.
"I understand!" Qinglong responded quickly. Even if Yang Xun didn't say anything about it, he would have already arranged it.
Yang Xun looked at Cai Wenji again and said, "You said that Diao Chan left the palace to buy cloth for me to make clothes. Why don't we go find her and return to the palace with her?"
…
In the largest cloth shop in the capital, Diao Chan was carefully stroking the silk in front of her.
"Madam, there is no cloth in the palace, why do you have to buy it outside?"
Xing Daorong stood behind Diao Chan, holding the sword on his waist and looking around with a vigilant expression.
He is now a member of the Jinyi Guards. After learning that Diao Chan was leaving the palace, he volunteered to be a guard.
After all, Diao Chan appears to be a maid, but is actually Yang Xun's woman. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to curry favor with Diao Chan?
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just the prince's maid, not his wife?" Diao Chan quickly explained with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"The items in the palace are all tribute, and many of them are shoddy to fool people. Since we are making clothes for the prince, we naturally want to buy the best."
"Madam really thinks of the prince in everything. From my point of view, the position of princess will be yours sooner or later." Xing Daorong flattered her and slapped her over.
Diao Chan smiled slightly. She only dared to think about this kind of thing, but she didn't dare to hope for it.
"Shopkeeper, help me wrap this roll of satin!"
"Okay, please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper smiled all over his face. This roll of fine silk and satin is more than five feet long and worth a lot of money. I didn't expect that the young man in front of me would be so cheerful.
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded from behind Diao Chan.
"Ah, this silk is perfect for making a python robe for the prince!"
Lan Suisui walked into the store with her maid, her eyes always fixed on the silk in the shopkeeper's hand.
"Shopkeeper, help me wrap this roll of satin. I want it." Lan Suisui said excitedly.
She came out today to buy cloth to make clothes for Yang Xun, but she visited many stores and found nothing she was satisfied with. As soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the roll of silk and satin in the hands of the shopkeeper.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, she could tell at a glance that this was fine silk and satin from the south. Silk and satin of this quality was probably not available in the palace.
Now that there is a war in the south, this silk is a rare thing.
"Miss, I'm sorry, this lady has already ordered this silk satin." The shopkeeper glanced at Lan Suisui and then at Diao Chan, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Lan Suisui looked at Diao Chan and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. There was such a beautiful woman in the world?
"Girl, I like this silk so much, please give it to me!" Lan Suisui said.
Diao Chan frowned and hesitated. She also liked this silk very much.
It would be fine if she could use it for herself, but the silk and satin were used to make clothes for Yang Xun, and she really didn't want to let it go.
"I'm sorry, girl, I also like this satin. It's really..."
Before Diao Chan finished speaking, the maid next to Lan Suisui said, "I want to discuss this with you carefully to give you face. Do you know who our lady is?"
This was really a bit arrogant, but Lan Suisui didn't stop him. Instead, he looked at Diao Chan with a smile on his face.
Xing Daorong on the side suddenly lost his temper: "Who cares who you are, we were interested in this cloth first!"
Damn it, no matter how old you are, can you still be bigger than the prince?
As soon as Xing Daorong said this, dozens of Jinyi guards who heard the noise outside also rushed in and looked at Lan Suisui with eager eyes.
The shopkeeper of Cloth Shop was so frightened that he threw the satin on the table and squatted under the counter.
Lan Suisui was also startled, but when she recognized the flying fish suit on Jin Yiwei's body, the smile on her face became even bigger.
"Are you from Yang Xun?" Lan Suisui looked at Diao Chan.
"How bold, how dare you call the prince by his name!"
Just as Xing Daorong was about to have a fit, Diao Chan stopped him. Diao Chan also looked at Lan Suisui, nodded and said, "Yes, I am the prince's maid."
Upon hearing the word "maid", Lan Suisui suddenly smiled disdainfully.
"A little maid dares to snatch things from me. Do you know who I am? I am Yang Xun's future princess and your master!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Diao Chan was stunned, but even Xing Daorong was confused.
Diao Chan quickly realized that she heard Cai Wenji say that Yang Xun had a marriage in the capital.
"Are you the daughter of Tingyang Hou Lan Youtu, Lan Suisui?" Diao Chan asked tentatively.
"How dare you call the lady by her name and not kneel down to kowtow to her!" the maid next to Lan Suisui scolded.
"I don't dare." Diao Chan quickly lowered her head.
After all, she was just a maid, and the eldest lady in front of her was the Marquis's family, and she was engaged to Yang Xun. She really couldn't afford to offend her.
As Lan Suisui said, if she married into the Yang family, she would be Diao Chan's master.
"I told you to kneel down, can't you hear me?" The maid was aggressive, and Lan Suisui also looked proud.
It doesn’t matter how beautiful you are, you are not a cheap maid, I am your master!
"Slave, please forgive me!"
Diao Chan bit her red lips. It would be fine if Lan Suisui came to marry her and asked her to kneel down. But now that Lan Suisui is not the princess, if she kneels here, it will be Yang Xun's face!
"You bitch!" Lan Suisui was furious and raised his hand to strike her down.
"stop!"
At this moment, there was a sudden shout outside the door, and before Lan Suisui could react, there was a slap mark on her face.
