Although Ma Xiaoquan's assurance to everyone seems empty, given the current situation, even if the people no longer believe in him, he will still marry Princess Ting.
Standing on the stage, Ma Xiaoquan could hear the comments of the people in the audience about him. Some approved of it, but most did not.
Several servants (including Yue'er) stood at the screen behind Ma Xiao. Even though they were not directly facing the people in the audience, they still felt their faces burning and uncomfortable.
People's words are scary, people's words are scary.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't feel anything. Since the physical time travel, he had not practiced anything else, but he had mastered the art of being thick-skinned. Although the comments in the audience were harsh and even highly insulting, he always smiled.
Neither arrogant nor impetuous.
In a teahouse not far away, a short man squinted at Ma Xiaoquan on the stage, nodded and said: "Wan Shanhe is really shameless... He can still smile after being scolded like that.
, in this regard, we are afraid that we are not as good as him..."
Next to this short man stood tall and strong men. He chuckled, nodded and said, "Such a man, no matter how much Tingting beats or scolds him in the future, he won't even fight back."
At the round table behind the two of them, Princess Ting was playing with the Kung Fu teapot in her hand. After a while, she poured half a cup of tea into each of the four teacups. She raised her head and said to Zhao Yuntai across the table with some worry.
: "Father, is this going too far..."
Zhao Yuntai picked up a tea cup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Why, I feel distressed, huh, this is also a test for him... Ting'er, you are the future king, the man beside you
, and you must be strong, otherwise you will not be able to face your brothers and sisters alone... By the way, your uncles Zhao Hu and Li Qun are also here. If you don’t understand anything in the future, just ask them~"
The short one was called Li Qun, and the tall one was called Zhao Hu. They turned around and walked up to Princess Ting with a smile: "Tingting, as the new king, you can't just ignore everything!"
Princess Ting nodded slightly and sighed: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Li, what you said makes me so stressed~~"
Zhao Yuntai laughed, stood up and walked to the window, pointed at Ma Xiaoquan not far away and said: "That guy is good, he is a talent~"
Li Qun said: "Yuntai, but the arrival of Wanshanhe clearly means that we should unite as the vanguard to regain Hongzhou..."
Zhao Hu said: "Yes, although we also intend to regain Hongzhou, Hongzhou is too big and we simply don't have enough people. Also... King Yue and Prince Ling of Heiqing Kingdom are in trouble.
.....I heard that they secretly united many Hongzhou tribes to form a resistance alliance..."
Zhao Yuntai turned around and said: "The King of Yue and Prince Ling are just clowns. They sell the honor of the country in exchange for their own rights. Even if they can seize this country one day, they will not be able to hold on for long...
Hongzhou, we must get it back. If we unite and unify, one day we will return to the Black and Green Kingdom... Yang Jie is waiting for my news. He must have more headaches than me.
Quite a few, haha..."
Zhao Hu and Li Qun nodded in unison, and the latter said: "You made a bet with Yang Jie that when you came to unite, he became the king of Heiqing. Yuntai, I still don't understand this bet between you two. It stands to reason.
Speaking of which, the monarch of the Black and Green Kingdom has more power than this united monarch, right?"
Zhao Yuntai smiled meaningfully: "It's big, but it also carries more responsibilities. You two also know that I, Zhao Yuntai, don't actually like power disputes, but in order to protect you, I have to do it."
Zhao Yuntai paused and continued: "The new king Ting'er has ascended the throne. It has not been announced yet. I plan to announce it suddenly on the day of her wedding to Wan Shanhe. Once this news comes out, my other children will definitely object, so
At this time, I hope you two can help Ting'er... As for Wan Shanhe, you don't have to worry, he is so powerful that you have never seen..."
Li Qun was stunned and asked: "Yuntai, is it possible that Wanshanhe is stronger than you and Tingting?"
Zhao Yuntai nodded.
Zhao Hu said: "What about our unified Tianjitang branch?"
Zhao Yuntai smiled bitterly and said: "Wan Shanhe alone is as good as all the Tianji Hall headquarters. If we compare, maybe Yang Jie's Tianji Hall headquarters can compete with what he has."
"What?" Zhao Hu was a little unconvinced and said with clenched fists, "If this is really the case, I will definitely find a time to try him."
Zhao Yuntai smiled playfully and said: "Zhao Hu, don't say that I didn't remind you when the time comes~ Haha~~"
Li Qun was calm and asked: "Is it possible that Wanshanhe is also..."
Zhao Yuntai nodded.
"Let me tell you, the people that even Yuntai recognizes must be people like us~" Zhao Hu laughed, reached out and grabbed the teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp.
Zhao Yuntai smiled and shook his head: "How is Tian Fang?"
Li Qun said: "It's nothing serious, but she refused to talk about what happened that day."
Zhao Yuntai said: "Tian Fang has never failed. She must have felt that she had lost face what happened that day. By the way, Elder Qianyue from the headquarters of Tianji Hall of Heiqing Kingdom is here. Did you see it?"
Zhao Hu and Li Qun nodded and said with a smile: "Why don't you just stand under the screen behind Wan Shanhe?"
"Elder Qianyue?" Princess Ting was stunned. She came to the window, squinted her eyes and asked in surprise, "Which one is Elder Qianyue?"
Zhao Hu smiled and said: "It's the smallest one, like a little girl."
"Ah? Can you be an elder at such a young age?"
Li Qun smiled and said: "Elder Qianyue is not young, but she has always been like that. No one knows how old she is. By the way, Yuntai, you have lived for more than two hundred years. Do you know how old Elder Qianyue is?
?”
Zhao Yuntai shook his head.
"Ah, doesn't Wan Shanhe know?" Princess Ting asked worriedly.
Zhao Yuntai smiled and said: "If he knew, he would definitely not let Elder Qianyue stand behind~~"
Zhao Hu also laughed: "It's rare to see Elder Qianyue. She has a bad temper. That kid from Wanshanhe actually..."
Li Qun interrupted: "Maybe it was arranged by Yang Jie~"
"Haha, Yang Jie can make arrangements for others, but Yang Jie can't arrange for those guys at the headquarters. Maybe Elder Qianyue himself wants to come. Whatever, few people know how powerful Elder Qianyue is. Everyone knows how powerful Elder Qianyue is.
It is said that no one has ever seen her before. It just so happens that she came to unite, presumably because of Hongzhou. When we regain Hongzhou in the future, we will naturally see her~"
...
In the square in the center of the floating city, Ma Xiaoquan had already said everything he needed to say, and he did not say a word of criticism or abuse that he needed to receive. He only stepped down from the platform after the people did not raise any other objections.
When several servants saw Ma Xiao's unchanging expression, they all admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
Yue'er was a little depressed. As the elder Qianyue of Tianji Hall, she had never experienced such nonsense. She could not even say a word while being criticized, and she couldn't say a word to refute.
"Well, tomorrow is the wedding day of Princess Ting and I. Yue'er, are my wedding clothes ready?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
Yue'er rolled her eyes, wanting to slap Ma Xiaoquan to the ground, but she nodded and said: "Everything is ready~"
"Okay, I'm in a good mood today. Let's go. I'll cook for you when I get back and show off my skills~"
"Ah? Prince Consort, you...will you cook for us?" a servant asked in surprise.
"Yes~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded.
"Oh oh, oh oh~~"
...
At night, a rare laugh came from the courtyard. Several servants sat at the table and ate the food cooked by Ma Xiaoquan. They were both moved and surprised. In their opinion, a person from a wealthy family like the Prince Consort should be...
People don’t have oily hands, but the master in front of me not only has oily hands, but the food he makes tastes very delicious.
"Prince-in-law, your cooking is really good~" a servant praised while eating.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "That's me...Although I used to be a descendant of the Wan family in the Black and Green Kingdom, I'm actually away from home all the year round. Most of the time, I have to solve the problem of eating by myself. This doesn't get used to me after coming and going.
Are you online..."
Yue'er curled her lips and said, "That's just right. When Princess Ting gets married, you can cook for her."
Yue'er's words were actually meant to make fun of Ma Xiaoquan. After all, in this era, if a man cooks, he is either a dedicated cook or someone with no skills.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't think too much. He nodded simply: "Of course, as long as she is willing, what's the harm in doing it for her?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said these words, the servants were all stunned, and Yue'er was even more surprised, wondering how this guy Wan Shanhe has no limits.
...
After dinner, Ma Xiaoquan was alone in his room meditating.
He wanted to sort out what happened in the past few days, especially what happened after the last meeting with Zhao Yuntai. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember anything.
"Yuan, what exactly happened that day? Why can't I remember anything?"
After a while, Yuancai sent a message: "I don't know the reason. I also want to ask you, Ming Yue Xin, what exactly did you leave behind?"
"Ming Yue Xin? What did she leave behind?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
"If I want to know, I won't ask you. Anyway, I can't tell you what she left on you, but if it weren't for the things she left on you, you might be a useless person now."
