Chapter 33 You are a toad who want to eat swan meat
Qi Yechen didn't sleep well all night. His dreams were filled with all kinds of sweet temptations that the little goblin Shen Qingqing had towards him.
Whenever he really wants to meet Shen Qingqing, Shen Qingqing's delicate little face will turn into the expression of Ye Qi's kid, do you have a lot of question marks?
Ye Qi asked with red eyes: "Your Highness, why did you reject Miss Shen?"
Qi Yeshen woke up five or six times in one night. Before dawn, he was so frightened by Ye Qi in front of the bed that he couldn't sleep. It was almost like a midnight ghost show.
At this moment, Qi Yeshen was looking slightly tired behind the sandalwood desk sorting out and reviewing various documents for the emperor. He had not slept well for two nights in a row, and he was greatly traumatized both physically and mentally.
A dumbfounded young man left and asked for more information. He was a little tired.
"Your Highness~~"
Qi Yeshen wondered if he had hallucinated because he didn't sleep well, and why he heard the stupid voice again.
No, no, it must be an illusion. He shook his head repeatedly, trying to dispel the lingering voice.
As the sound got closer and closer, Leng Tou Qing also appeared in front of him. Wasn't it Jiang Yi?
I don't know why Yechen felt even more tired after seeing Jiang Yi.
"Why did you come back before the one-month period was over?"
A look of excitement flashed across Jiang Yi's face, "Your Highness, do you know what I just saw?"
"A swan eats a toad?" Qi Yeshen was not interested in his words at all and responded impatiently.
"No, no, no, I saw Miss Shen Qi. Your Highness, you really did something wrong this time. Miss Shen Qi is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also generous and decent. She is almost tailor-made for the Crown Princess."
Qi Yeshen looked cold: "Oh."
Jiang Yi simply brought his face closer and put his hands on the table, "Your Highness, won't your conscience hurt if you reject such a woman who not only loves you deeply but is also beautiful?"
Qi Yeshen ignored him. He didn't feel any pain. Instead, he felt heartbroken!
Jiang Yi still rubbed salt on his wounds, "If I were you, I would definitely feel regretful in my intestines. You haven't seen such a good girl, how beautiful she is. If the east doesn't light up and the west does, she will look like a fairy." !”
Qi Yeshen snorted coldly: "Where did you see her?"
"It's Old Man Wang's sesame cake shop. Old Man Wang transferred the store to Miss Shen Qi. It seems that the rumors are not all true. Miss Shen Qi is not so squeamish. She actually opened a shop disguised as a man. Compared to other places in the city, There are so many noble ladies."
"What did you say?" Qi Yeshen frowned.
"I said Miss Shen is very special."
"No, what do you think she is doing?"
"She rented Old Man Wang's shop to open a shop. I heard that she is planning to open a roast duck restaurant. Does Your Highness want to book a restaurant to save your face?"
Qi Yeshen frowned and said coldly: "The point is to open a roast duck restaurant?"
Jiang Yi looked up at Qi Yeshen's deep eyes and swallowed, "Your Highness doesn't like roast duck? How about we suggest that she open a braised chicken restaurant?"
"Stupid, Old Man Wang's store is located on Chunhua Street, and that street is all in the hands of the Dark Emperor. Who have you seen in the past ten years getting the operating rights from the Dark Emperor?"
Only then did Jiang Yi react, "Yes, how did a little girl like Miss Shen get the store from the Dark Emperor?"
Qi Yeshen glared at him, "I think you have lived a few years of peace and have forgotten even the basics of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Do you know who is the most taboo in this palace?"
"Those princes always covet your position as prince."
"Wrong, it's the Dark Emperor."
Jiang Yi thought carefully and said: "Back then, the Dark Emperor helped us during the national crisis. Those years were when the national treasury was empty. If it weren't for his help from the rear, we wouldn't have been able to win the battle, and we wouldn't have these few years."
With the years of prosperity, it stands to reason that the Dark Emperor will be kind to us."
"It is true that he is kind to the royal family. The royal family specially opened a special channel for him. Ten years later, more than half of the shops in our imperial city alone belong to him, not to mention the countless money in the world.
A steady stream of money flowed into his pocket."
"But no matter where there has been disaster damage over the years, the Dark Emperor has sent people to provide disaster relief. It can be regarded as mutual help with the royal family."
"Today he can be a friend, but if one day he turns against him, he will become a huge and terrifying enemy. The power of the Dark Emperor is like a big tree, with roots deeply rooted in the land of Qiguo, absorbing
Not only the common people, but also the nourishment of the royal family."
There was a chill behind Jiang Yi, "Your Highness, don't say such horrible things!"
"The really scary thing is not my royal brothers who are jumping around every day, but this dark emperor who has not shown up yet. If we can't become friends, then we must clean up before he ascends the throne!"
Qi Yeshen stared at Jiang Yi seriously, "From today on, put away your calmness. The imperial power is like a lake. It is calm on the surface, but in fact, it has been turbulent underneath, and the real battle has already begun."
Jiang Yi took the opportunity to kneel down and said, "I am willing to be His Highness's pawn, dedicate myself to Your Highness, and smooth the way forward."
Qi Yeshen knew what Jiang Yi was thinking, "Get up. If you make another mistake, don't come back."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that Qi Yechen's face looked better, Jiang Yi boldly said: "Your Highness, since you are so afraid of the Dark Emperor, you need the help of the Shen family even more.
You are the son-in-law recognized by the Shen family. Your refusal of this marriage not only refutes the Shen family's face, but also hurts the reputation of the seventh lady. If the Shen family agrees to other princes, it will become a big obstacle.
Without mentioning these things, you will not be able to pass this test, General Shen, so you’d better go to the Shen family as soon as possible to apologize."
If he didn't know Shen Qingqing's identity, he would reject Jiang Yi's proposal. Now he knows that she is the woman he is looking for. The Shen family must go, but not now.
No one knows that the biggest factor hindering this marriage is Shen Qingqing herself. If she is not willing, even if she comes to propose marriage, it will be in vain, and she might be tricked by this goblin again.
"I know it well." Qi Yeshen put down the book in his hand, with a playful smile on his lips: "Let's go out of the palace and take a look at that girl."
After Qi Yeshen said this, he saw a look of disdain on Jiang Yi's face.
"Did I see it wrong? You seem to be despising me?"
Jiang Yi lowered his head and murmured: "I don't dare. I just think that His Highness wanted to see Miss Shen Qi when he heard that she was pretty. People among the people seem to think that His Highness's behavior is lustful."
"
"It seems you still prefer the school grounds."
"No, no, no, Your Highness, I am just talking nonsense. You are like a prodigal son who will never return for gold. An old horse knows the way. Rabbits only eat grass beside their nests. Toads want to eat swan meat."
