Her voice was neither high nor low, but it just woke up Yang Jinxi.
"Hey," Yang Jinxi looked at the people in front of her sleepily, without any fear. She just covered her mouth and yawned, then gently jumped out of the carriage, "You are finally back."
Chu Miaoer stepped forward to meet her, looked at her funny and said: "Miss Yang San drove the car herself. I can still see such strange things in my life. It's really not in vain."
Hearing the teasing tone in her tone, Yang Jinxi was not angry at all. Instead, she glanced at the guard standing tremblingly next to her and scolded with a smile: "You little guard has chosen so well, it makes me frothy.
You just don’t believe what I said.”
"Hurry up and apologize to Miss Yang San." Chu Miaoer knew that she was joking and joked with a smile.
"No, no, no, no," Yang Jinxi hurriedly stopped her and waved her hand nonchalantly, "It would be great if the princess would let me drink a bowl of water."
Al Yunduo rolled his eyes smartly and jumped out and said, "Well, this chestnut flour cake was originally intended to be brought to my brother. Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll give it to you."
This Al Yunduo is also a master who has no taboos. He obviously has no bad intentions, but everything he says is offending people.
She was thirsty, not hungry. Yang Jinxi didn't even look at the oil carton in her hand, but just glanced at her. She was short and looked very childish. She couldn't bear the teasing and replied with a smile: "
Thank you sister, I'm not hungry."
"You! -" When did Al Yunduo hear someone say this, his face turned red with anger and he jumped up, "Who is your sister? No one can call her like that except my brother!"
"You are young, so naturally you should call me sister." There was a hint of playfulness in Yang Jinxi's eyes. This little girl had a very hot temper and became anxious after just a few words.
Al Yunduo walked back and forth for two steps, threw the chestnut flour cake in his hand into the hands of Chu Miaoer who was standing aside to watch the battle, put his hands on his hips and shouted arrogantly: "Do you know who I am? How dare you be so presumptuous?
If this princess were in Dongjue, you would have been thrown to wild wolves by now!"
Listening to the two of them arguing and arguing, Chu Miaoer's head was about to explode. Taking advantage of their pause, he quickly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Miss Yang San, this is indeed Princess Yunduo from Dongjue. She came with the little Khan yesterday.
Great Jin Kingdom."
"Hey, are you scared?" Seeing that she remained silent, Al Yunduo stepped forward with a victorious smile and added proudly, "Seeing that you are a friend of the princess' sister, I will spare your life.
"
"Princess Yunduo," Chu Miao'er really felt that Al Yunduo was a bit too willful, but he couldn't scold her too blatantly, so he had to remind her softly, "The princess was still saying just now that in Dongjue, as long as she is older,
You should call me sister, why have you suddenly changed your mind now?"
A'er Yunduo frowned and remained silent, feeling unconvinced. She had indeed said this, and in Dongjue it was true that the elder was the elder sister, but it also depended on whether she was willing or not, and she didn't know this person.
He pursed his lips and was about to refute, but someone snatched him away.
"Miss Yang is driving a carriage from Xiling alone?" Fu Yunqi, who had been standing behind for a long time, observed for a long time and saw that there was no one in the carriage. Yang Jinxi was indeed coming alone, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
After being reminded by Fu Yunqi, Chu Miaoer suddenly realized that they had not seen any movement in the carriage after talking for so long, and quickly added: "Isn't Miss Yang wearing the jade pendant that the prince gave to Miss Yang last time?"
Speaking of this, Yang Jinxi felt a little scared in her heart, but she just said lightly: "I met bandits on the road and was robbed."
"Gangster?!——"
After several people heard this, they were shocked. It is not difficult to imagine how thrilling the process was. Al Yunduo also seemed to have forgotten the quarrel with her just now, and listened curiously with his ears pricked up, his big shining eyes full of curiosity.
"Although it's a bit scary, fortunately a hero saved me," Yang Jinxi said with a look of shame on her face, "Just to heal my groom and maid, I pawned the jade pendant. I really feel sorry for that fine white jade."
If that's the case, then her outfit makes sense, but at this time she can still think of money, and she is worthy of being a businesswoman who smells like copper.
"But the Fourth Prince," Yang Jinxi changed the topic and looked at Fu Yunqi sternly and said, "The gangsters can rob the official roads in broad daylight, and the court just lets it go?"
This Chu Miao'er actually heard someone mention this when chatting with others before. There is a road that must be passed from Xiling to Kyoto. The vegetation on both sides of the road is lush and evergreen, and it is a vast landscape as far as the eye can see.
The scenery is abundant, but it is this refreshing scenery that provides a natural hiding place for local gangsters. This is why Fu Yunqi subconsciously believed that the people who attacked them were local gangsters.
As far as she knew, it was not that the court had not taken action against these gangsters. For example, the last riot that the prince came out of the palace to deal with was because the gangsters were too rampant and the surrounding people resisted, resulting in a tragic situation that spread to the palace. It's just that
The officials are protecting each other and trying to catch them all. If they want to catch them all, the court is afraid that it still has a long way to go.
"It's not that I don't care," Fu Yunqi said with a laugh, "it's just that it's difficult to manage."
Smart people just mention it and don't interfere. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fu Yunqi doesn't want to talk about it anymore. But Al Yunduo was very curious and asked: "You people in the Kingdom of Jin are already so poor.
Are you going to steal money?"
"It's not that they are poor, it's that some people want to get rich without working hard," Chu Miao'er explained to her. Seeing her nodding in confusion, she continued, "That's why I shot others."
Hearing this, Al Yun shook his head with regret and sighed: "I didn't expect that there are such low-class people in the Great Jin Kingdom."
Although Helelou occasionally interacted with Dongjue merchants when purchasing supplies, Yang Jinxi had never talked to them directly. In her impression, Dongjue merchants were tall, unsmiling, and even a little timid.
Man, I didn’t expect that this princess’ words were quite interesting.
She smiled and asked: "What is an inferior person? Dongjue doesn't have one?"
Speaking of this, Al Yunduo suddenly said with excitement: "Our Dongjue grassland is endless, with herds of cattle and sheep. The herdsmen take the cattle and sheep out for food every day, and come back after sunset, waiting for these cattle and sheep to grow fat.
If they are fat, they will be slaughtered and the meat will be sold in the market. The fur can be woven into carpets to keep warm in winter. In Dongjue, even my father has to pay money if he wants to buy a blanket, so he must not take it for free.
.”
"No one pays tribute on weekdays?" Chu Miaoer asked with doubts in his mind.
"No, tribes used to pay tribute to me when I was a kid. When I got older, my brother suggested to my father that each tribe should be self-sufficient in order to thrive and not have to pay tribute to the royal family every month." Al Yunduo shrugged indifferently, "
So no one in Dongjue would do such a low-level thing."
This is new. This is the first time Chu Miao'er has heard that royal purchases are not paid by the subjects as tribute, but by members of the royal family. Al Yunna does have an excellent political acumen, which made Dongjue strong for a time, but he may have done it himself.
I also didn’t expect that humans are the animals that are least likely to be satisfied. Once this animal is full, it will stare at the meat from the other animal.
"Clouds!——"
In the distance, the crisp sound of horse hooves was gradually heard coming closer. Several people turned their heads and looked around at the same time. They saw the horse slowly slowing down its pace, and sitting on the horse's back was Aryuna, who had just taken the first step.
He got off his horse and strode towards them.
"Brother." When Al Yunduo saw him, he immediately calmed down his arrogance and stood there and called obediently.
Al Yunna gave a faint hum, then looked at the five boxes of oil paper in her hand, curled up the corners of her lips, raised her eyes and said to Chu Miao'er: "I have been waiting for Yun Duo in the post house for a long time but I still haven't seen him back.
I was a little worried, but now it seems that the fourth princess really took good care of her, thank you very much."
His straight eyes made Chu Miaer feel a little uncomfortable, but she still responded politely, while Fu Yunchi's eyes were staring at him thoughtfully.
After night falls, the bright moon, which is not yet full, gradually rises to the sky full of stars.
Chu Miaoer was lying on the soft couch, enjoying the cool breeze with a comfortable look on her face. Suddenly she opened her eyes, sat up and said to Fu Yunchi who was reading by the window: "I'm just wondering why this Al Yunna looks so familiar."
"Oh?" Fu Yunqi closed the book, walked up to her with a smile and held her in his arms, "But what did you think of?"
These words startled her, and Chu Miaoer poked her head out from his arms, looked at him carefully for a moment, and seeing that there was no curiosity in his expression, she said with certainty: "So you already knew it, so why not
What are you telling me?"
Fu Yunqi held her in his arms again and suppressed his smile.
"He entered Daikin first, not just to appreciate the local customs. When we were attacked last time, my second brother and I guessed that the Dongjue people's forces had already penetrated Daikin. You would have known earlier.
It’s just a shock in vain.”
"You're saying that he might have ordered us to be attacked last time?" Chu Miao'er exclaimed.
"I thought so before," Fu Yunqi thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "But from Al Yunduo's tone, it doesn't sound like he knew."
"Since he wants to face me head-on, we don't have to hide."
The night is quiet and silent. In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. As soon as I close my eyes, I feel that it is already dawn.
"Baitao, give that light green gauze skirt to Miss Yang." Chu Miaoer lazily picked out a hollow orchid hairpin and a pair of gold-encrusted coral earrings and handed them to her, "and these.
"
After hearing this, Baitao said in surprise: "Princess, that is a fine Qingrong gauze, and you are reluctant to wear these jewelry. How can you give it to someone who has nothing to do with it?"
"Go if I tell you to. Little girl, don't worry so much, so as not to trouble your husband's family in the future." Fu Yunchi on the side couldn't help but said.
Looking at Baitao's aggrieved back, Chu Miaoer smiled and shook her head. This girl was too casual and she was used to it.
As soon as I entered Chunyan Tower, I felt "wealth is overwhelming". In the tenderness of the fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, men and women stretched their bodies freely, lazily sipping wine and tea, and the time seemed to become sweeter.
"elder sister!--"
The three of them turned their heads and looked back at the same time, only to see the person wearing a bright red dress with a bright and bright smile. This was not Al Yunduo.
