Chapter 283 The King of Qin was plotted against
After returning to the capital this time, Prince of Qin Zhao Defang behaved out of character. In the past, he avoided making friends with important officials of the court, but now, he would set up a banquet every few days and invite several important officials of the court to drink and chat.
Of course, the venue for each invitation was chosen to be the Sichuan Hotpot City opened by his own princess. The King of Qin once joked with his guests that good things should be kept within the family, and that since drinking and eating cost a lot of money, of course he had to take care of his own business.
The food at Chuanran Hotpot and the wine at Maotai are in short supply. If you don't have a bit of face and don't make an appointment a few days in advance, you won't even be able to get a room upstairs. So, being able to eat and drink here is definitely a very face-saving thing.
The guests of the most upscale "Bamboo" private room yesterday were Shen Xi, the Junior Minister of Dali Temple, Zuo Dading, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, and the swordsmith Ou Erzi and his apprentice. The one who attracted the most attention from the shop assistants was the thin and handsome Shen Qiu. He was dressed in a cloth cloth as a craftsman, but he became the guest of honor of His Majesty the King of Qin. What was so special about him?
Today is the day for all court officials to take a rest. The guests in the "Bamboo" elegant room are of distinguished status. They include the Right Prime Minister Xue Juzheng, Duke of Lu Cao Bin, and Prince of Bohai Gao Huaide. Sitting with them are two younger generations, Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong.
In the "Mei" private room next door, Princess Qin sat in the main seat. Yang Yanqi, Gao Ruoying, Xue Qing and Cao Huiying were all shareholders of this Sichuan Hotpot Restaurant and Maotai Liquor Store.
This gathering of shareholders and their parents perked up the staff at the hotpot restaurant, who served attentively and attentively.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who was sitting in the main seat, was as gentle as jade, and his speech and behavior were polite, friendly and easy-going.
Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong were able to have dinner with their idol, the God of War of the Song Dynasty, and their eyes were full of admiration. They sat at the end of the table respectfully, and apart from pouring tea and wine, they listened attentively to His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the elders talking about several guerrilla warfare examples in the Northern Expedition.
"In a word, the essence of this kind of guerrilla warfare with a huge disparity in strength is {When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.}" Qin Wang Zhao Defang sold the sixteen-character secret he learned from the princess to these two veteran generals who had made great achievements in military affairs and two future young generals without any guilt.
Cao Bin and Gao Huaide were fascinated by what they heard, Cao Wei and Gao Yingxiong were excited, and even Xue Juzheng, who came from a civil servant family, nodded frequently and was deeply impressed.
"I want to find His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin! Quick! Take me to find His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Princess Yongqing has fainted..."
Downstairs, a woman's anxious shout was heard!
"It's Wanting, Yunyi, bring her up quickly!" Qin Wang Zhao Defang recognized the voice as Wanting, the personal maid beside his mother, and hurriedly ordered Yunyi.
The maid Wanting followed Yun Yi up the stairs quickly, panting and not even bothering to greet him, and anxiously urged: "Your Highness Prince Qin, the princess suddenly fainted in the fitting room upstairs in Zheng Xiufang across the street, please go and take a look!..."
Qin Wang Zhao Defang suddenly stood up, opened the window, and flew out...
Yun Yi also flew out of the third floor window, followed closely behind the prince, and used his Qinggong to pounce on the Zhengxiufang building opposite...
Xue Juzheng, Cao Bin and Gao Huaide also stood up hurriedly. However, they did not have the lightness skill of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, so they hurried downstairs and ran to Zheng Embroidery Workshop opposite.
Luo Li and the others were also alarmed. When they heard that something had happened to Princess Yongqing, they hurriedly got up and went downstairs, running towards Zheng Embroidery Workshop.
After Qin Wang Zhao Defang leaped out, he landed on the crown of a big tree opposite. He stepped on the branches with his toes, and then jumped up again and pounced directly on the wall of Zheng Embroidery House. His toes touched the wall again, and his figure jumped onto a window on the third floor. With a "crash", the window shattered, and his figure jumped into the window of Zheng Embroidery House.
"Where is Princess Yongqing?!" Prince of Qin Zhao Defang shouted at two maids standing at the door of a room.
Looking at the King of Qin who seemed to have fallen from the sky, the maid replied trembling with fear: "In... in the room."
King Qin Zhao Defang stepped forward and pushed open the tightly closed door.
:"ah………!"
: Ah...! Indecent assault! ..."
Inside the room, two young women who were trying on clothes, with their backs and arms bare, let out sharp screams...
When Prince of Qin Zhao Defang took a quick glance, he did not see Yongqing, so he quickly retreated and closed the door.
His eyes were like knives, sweeping towards the two trembling maids, "Where is Princess Yongqing?!"
A maid looked pale and pointed to the door behind her with trembling hands, "Inside...inside."
Another maid also plucked up the courage to reply, trembling, "Princess Yong...Princess Yongqing is inside."
Yun Yi had also jumped in through the window. Seeing this, and hearing the screams and cries of the two women behind the closed door, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask who the woman inside is?"
He was so concerned that he was confused. When he heard that his sister Yongqing was suddenly in trouble, Prince Qin Zhao Defang only thought about rescuing her quickly. He did not feel any murderous intent here, and did not think about other aspects.
: "Tell me! Who are the two women inside?"
"Yes...it's Miss Luo Ruixue from Minister Luo's family, and Miss Li Jiaqi from Minister Li's family." The maid who was a little braver clearly introduced the identities of the two women inside.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang understood immediately and was extremely angry but could not vent his anger. When he saw the princess running in breathlessly with everyone else, he became even angrier!
Gao Huaide, Cao Bin and Xue Juzheng were all old and shrewd. Seeing the anger on the King of Qin's face, and hearing the crying of two women in the room behind the door with a small sign that said "Fitting Room", how could they not understand what was happening?
Gao Yingxiong, who had strong limbs but a simple mind, asked in a gruff voice like an ignorant teenager, "Did Princess Yongqing faint in this room? Why don't you go in and save her?"
Cao Wei tugged at his sleeve and secretly winked at him, telling him not to cause more trouble.
Luo Li also understood something at this moment. She had seen this kind of drama many times in palace dramas in her previous life. She didn't expect that it would happen to her man today. She smiled calmly: "There are female guests in the room, so I'll go in and see Yongqing! Yanqi, Ruoying, the two of you follow me in."
I heard that the two crying women inside were Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi. Although Yang Yanqi didn't know what happened, she knew it was definitely not a good thing. She was so angry that her cheeks were puffed up. "Let's go! Ruoying, let's go in with Luo Li!"
Luo Li pushed the door open and saw Luo Ruixue and Li Jiaqi hugging each other, sitting on a soft cushion and crying sadly.
Luo Li asked with a look of contempt: "Two young ladies, what kind of drama are you acting out? Where did you hide my Yongqing?"
Luo Ruixue's pretty face was red, and her eyes were swollen from crying. She looked up at Luo Li with tears in her eyes, "Princess Qin, please stop slandering me. Princess Yongqing is resting in the inner room. Jiaqi and I were trying on new clothes, and your Prince Qin suddenly barged in and saw us naked. Are we going to die?"
Li Jiaqi exclaimed, "Our innocence has been seen by the King of Qin. Our reputation as women is ruined. We have no way to survive..."
"It's not like you'll lose a piece of meat if you look at it. Besides, you won't take off your underwear and bellybands when trying on new clothes, so it can't be considered as being seen naked. Forget it, forget it. I've paid for your clothes, so it's considered compensation. When we get home, I'll punish Zhao Defang by making her kneel on the washboard to vent your anger."
Luo Ruixue's pretty face flushed with anger, her eyes were filled with tears, and her body was shaking. "Princess Qin! You...what nonsense are you talking about? You don't know etiquette and shame. Our reputation has been ruined, and you still want us to pay for a few pieces of clothes without any shame?"
Luo Li's beautiful eyes were full of sarcasm, and the corners of her lips curled up in a sneer: "Miss Luo, even if I, a silly princess, don't know etiquette and shame, I will not use despicable means to strip naked and seduce a married man.
You don't care about the compensation of a few pieces of clothing, so tell me the conditions! What kind of compensation do you want?"
Luo Ruixue was ashamed and angry when her secret plot was exposed. She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die of humiliation by this stupid princess with a poisonous mouth. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.
Li Jiaqi, who had a simple mind, blushed with embarrassment after hearing this, but she couldn't miss the opportunity right in front of her: "Princess Qin, our...our reputation has been ruined by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. We don't want any compensation. Doesn't the Prince of Qin's Mansion still have two concubines? If...if the prince gives us the concubine position, we can survive."
Yang Yanqi was so angry that he said "Pooh"!
"I've seen shameless bitches, but I've never seen rich girls as shameless as you!"
The door that had been open since Luo Li and the other two entered was now filled with people standing outside. The customers and female employees in the store also climbed upstairs to watch the fun after hearing the noise.
Luo Ruixue's neck turned red with embarrassment, and she just sobbed with her head down. She had not expected that the silly princess could be so vicious. She had not expected that after attracting King Qin, she would attract so many people and cause such a big commotion.
"What's wrong? Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Princess Yongqing walked out from the inner room in a daze.
