Chapter 183 The Embarrassing Mission
After Luo Lingyue dragged her tired body back to the Shen family, she collapsed on the bed like a puddle of mud, then quickly fell asleep and slept until the next morning.
While having breakfast the next day, Luo Lingyue recalled the terrified look of the Grand Princess of Yuewu Kingdom, and a feeling of pleasure surged in her heart!
Xiao Jinghan noticed the happy look on her face and asked casually, "Did you have a good dream last night?"
Luo Lingyue looked up at him, showing an extremely brilliant smile, and answered happily: "I dreamed last night that the eldest princess of Yuewu Kingdom fell into a rat's nest!"
Xiao Jinghan's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with a faint smile, and he said softly: "Then you have to eat more! We still have to hurry to Yuqing tonight!"
At this time, An Junyuan on the side interrupted and said, "I heard that Yuqing's governor Li Mingjie has been demoted to the position of chief clerk! This was proposed by Prime Minister Li Mingfu!"
Xiao Jinghan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Li Mingfu was just sacrificing a pawn to save the chariot! Now that the new governor of Yuqing has taken office, I just hope that the people of Yuqing can live and work in peace and lead a happy and fulfilling life!"
An Junyuan lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the new governor is an orphan without a father or a mother. Your Majesty intends to promote those poor people with no background to be officials. Perhaps he wants to use this opportunity to compete with the Prime Minister's disciples!"
On Xiao Jinghan's stern face, his eyes drooped slightly and his voice became low: "How can those children of wealthy and noble families understand the hardships of the common people? Your Majesty has been restrained by Li Mingfu in the court over the years. If you don't cultivate a group of loyal and reliable confidants, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything!" His words revealed his concern about the situation and his expectations for the future.
Luo Lingyue frowned slightly, raised her hand and handed each of them a big meat bun, and said unhappily: "Don't talk about court affairs while eating! Otherwise it will ruin your appetite!"
An Junyuan took the bun with a big smile on his face and said jokingly, "Xiao Qi is absolutely right! As subjects, we just need to do our duty! Come on! Future brother-in-law! Let's clink wine with this big meat bun!"
Xiao Jinghan also responded with a smile, and gently touched the meat bun in his hand with An Junyuan, and then the two of them burst into laughter at the same time!
Seeing this, Luo Lingyue rolled her eyes helplessly and muttered to herself: These two men have such a jumpy train of thought!
At this moment, Luo Lingfeng's voice suddenly came from outside the dining room: "Miss, Miss! Come and see what good things I brought back for you! This is Jiangning's most famous osmanthus cake! Come and try it, I guarantee you will love it!"
Mu Hongxiu's response came immediately: "Sixth Master Luo, thank you so much for your kindness, but I really don't like sweets!"
However, Luo Lingfeng did not give up and continued to say in a flattering tone: "Hey, Miss, don't worry! I have prepared other delicacies for you! Look, this is a fragrant meat dumpling! It tastes great, you will definitely like it!"
Mu Hongxiu's voice sounded again: "Sixth Master Luo, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't like eating greasy food."
Facing Mu Hongxiu's refusal, Luo Lingfeng was still not discouraged, and hurriedly recommended: "How about this, Miss, how about you try this white cake? It's not greasy at all, and the taste is very delicate. I believe you will like it!"
Just like that, the two of them asked and answered each other, and their voices gradually faded away...
Looking at their receding backs, Luo Lingyue couldn't help but purse her lips and muttered, "Bah! Dog lickers!"
An Junyuan and his party bid farewell to Mr. Shen and set off for the capital. Walking on the streets of Jiangning, Xiao Jinghan turned around, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, and asked Luo Lingyue: "What breed of dog is Tian Gou?"
His eyes fell on Luo Lingyue, as if hoping to get an answer from her.
Luo Lingyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a fake smile, and replied softly: "It's just a kind of dessert!"
Her tone seemed a little perfunctory, but her eyes revealed a barely perceptible hint of teasing.
Xiao Jinghan obviously didn't expect to get such an answer. He was stunned for a moment, then turned to the guards beside him and ordered: "Go find out if there is a dessert shop selling sweet dogs nearby and buy one!"
The guards responded and quickly took action.
They dispersed and searched the streets, hoping to find the mysterious Sweet Dog Dessert Shop.
Xiao Jinghan sat in the carriage, looking into the distance thoughtfully, secretly pondering this strange name in his heart - what kind of dessert is sweet dog?
The streets are bustling at this moment, with people coming and going, and all kinds of sounds intertwined together, forming a unique urban symphony.
The guards kept asking about the food of the sweet dog in the shop, which became a small episode in this painting, arousing people's curiosity and speculation...
Suddenly, there were screams of terror on the street. It turned out that behind the Yuewu Kingdom's delegation, a large group of rats were rushing towards the princess's carriage like a tide...
The princess screamed in terror in the carriage: "Help!" She never thought that she would encounter rat assassins in Dazhao Kingdom! These hateful rats seemed to be organized and purposeful, and they rushed towards their targets without fear.
At this thrilling moment, a eunuch hurried over with a chubby cat in his arms. He handed the cat to the accompanying palace maid, hoping that it could be the savior of the princess. The princess had no choice but to hold the cat tremblingly and sit in the carriage.
Her face was filled with fear and anxiety, and she thought to herself: From now on, will I, a noble princess, have to live and sleep with a cat? Such a life is unimaginable! The thought of having close contact with this furry little animal made the princess tremble with fear.
The people around were so shocked by the rats rushing towards the Yuewu delegation that their eyes almost popped out. Are all the rats from Jiangning coming? Why is the Yuewu delegation attracting so many rats? What's going on?
Seeing this, An Junyuan looked at Luo Lingyue in astonishment and said, "Xiao Qi, your dream has come true! This... the eldest princess has really fallen into a rat's nest!"
Luo Lingyue smiled as she watched the show: "Maybe these mice like the eldest princess of Yuewu Kingdom too much!"
Xiao Jinghan smiled: "Will this Hu Yan Zhuozhuo be called Hu Yan Shu Shu in the future? Hahahaha!"
Luo Lingyue frowned: "How do you know the eldest princess's name?"
Xiao Jinghan blinked his eyes: "Since she is an enemy, how could I not know clearly! This Hu Yanzhuozhuo is a notoriously vicious woman in Yuewu country! She came to Dazhao to marry, maybe she came to seek revenge on me!"
