Chapter 153 Thoughts
"First, I order Cui Detao and his group to rush to Jiangnan and join us. The officials in Jiangnan will soon know that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are traveling to Jiangnan."
"Second, order the Black Tiger Cavalry to cover up the situation in Yangzhou and not let anyone see any flaws before the 'Crown Prince and Crown Princess' enter Jiangnan."
"Third, I have written a memorial about the salt monopoly and the strangeness of the General's Mansion case and sent it back to the capital overnight, and requested an investigation into the case myself."
After hearing this, Xu Xingyin stood up straight by holding the table leg.
It turned out that Jing Zhichen had already arranged everything last night, but Xu Xingyin was afraid that Jing Zhichen would ignore the Zhennan General's Mansion for his own benefit. She was judging others by her own standards, and her face turned red with shame.
She looked at Jing Zhichen unnaturally, but that man seemed unaware of her intention. His expression did not change. He tapped his leg with a folding fan in his hand, as if waiting for Xu Xingyin's answer.
Xu Xingyin naturally knew that it was not easy for Jing Zhichen to make this decision.
After all, because of his identity, Jing Zhichen can be regarded as the grandson-in-law of the Zhennan General’s Mansion.
If the Zhennan General's Mansion is rehabilitated this time, when the Zhennan General's Mansion regains power, all talks of gratitude will be ignored, and people will only say that Jing Zhichen is trying to consolidate his position as the crown prince and win over the military generals.
Emperors are always suspicious. Once this news reaches Emperor Yanning's ears, Jing Zhichen's situation...
I'm afraid it will be even more embarrassing.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for everything you have done for the Zhennan General's Mansion!"
Xu Xingyin stood below, his face was red, perhaps due to the sun or something, and he looked inexplicably more funny.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness. Regardless of whether this is successful or not, I will keep my promise and help Your Highness realize his ambitions. When Your Highness finds a noble lady in the future, I will ask to be your concubine and will never cause any trouble to Your Highness!"
As soon as the words fell, the person who was sitting there lazily suddenly changed his eyes color, and the faint smile on his lips suddenly disappeared. There seemed to be a trace of heavy forbearance hidden in his star-like eyes.
But when Xu Xingyin looked over again inquiringly, the man had already withdrawn his gaze and slowly stood up, still with his usual aloof look, as if everything that had just happened was just her illusion.
"Miss Xu Qi, just remember it."
Finally, he said this and left the room, leaving Xu Xingyin alone, confused.
So, his last sentence was to praise her and insult her?
Xu Xingyin sighed and walked out the door. Perhaps he was too absorbed in his thoughts that he did not notice the figure that flashed by outside.
Xu Xingyin thought about this problem several times but could not come to a conclusion, so he simply gave up.
Jing Zhichen has always spoken in a sarcastic tone, and this is not the first time.
According to Jing Zhichen's plan, they had to wait until Cui Detao and his group arrived and joined them before they could proceed to the next step.
So before the other party arrived, Xu Xingyin and the others could only stay quietly in the yard.
Xu Xingyin was never one to sit still, so he took Chun Xiang and ran towards Jing Zhichen.
I wanted to ask if there was anything I could do to help, but seeing that Jing Zhichen was so busy, I didn't want to go and disturb him, so I just gave up.
Xu Xingyin gave up outright, and life became difficult for Xiao Anzi and the others who served him closely.
I don't know what's wrong with Jing Zhichen these days. He is particularly difficult to serve. From big things like food, clothing, housing and transportation to small things like trivial matters, he always finds fault with everything, which really gives Xiao Anzi a headache.
Xuan Yao had also been under great pressure from Jing Zhichen these days. The two of them finally managed to sneak in when Jing Zhichen was discussing matters and went to find Qiong Guang with bitter faces to ask for advice.
Qiongguang laughed after hearing what the two said, patted Xiao Anzi's shoulder sympathetically and said with a smile.
"In my opinion, you should not wait by His Highness' side every day. He is not in the mood to enjoy these days anyway. You might as well do what His Highness asked you to do last time. After all... the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."
Xiao Anzi was confused by what he heard, and he and Xuan Yao looked at each other. They both decided to trust Qiong Guang and put the matter that Jing Zhichen had asked them to do last time back on the schedule.
……
Ever since arriving in Jiangnan, Xu Xingyin has had a poor appetite.
In terms of taste, it is more authentic than the Jiangnan dishes I ate in Beijing, but...
When Xu Xingyin returned to Jiangnan again, he felt that everything had changed and he became more picky about taste.
On this day, Xu Xingyin was sitting in the pavilion reading a book when he saw Chunxiang and several girls coming in with dishes and filling the table.
Chunxiang was not well-behaved and had been lectured several times by Xiao Anzi. Now he understands much better than before.
As soon as everyone had laid out the dishes, Chun Xiang asked everyone to stand aside and then came over to talk to Xu Xingyin.
"My Lady Crown Princess, it's time for lunch."
"Ah."
Xu Xingyin responded softly, handed the book in his hand to Chunxiang, and said.
"I can't eat so many dishes by myself, so I'll just pick two or three dishes. You can share the rest with everyone later."
Xu Xingyin had a good temper and always cared about everyone when something good happened. Chun Xiang had noticed this during this period of time, so he became closer to Xu Xingyin and spoke bolder than before.
"Not today!"
Chun Xiang thought about what Xiao Anzi had told him and smiled, "Today's dishes were specially prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for you. We dare not eat them."
"Prepared specially?"
Xu Xingyin probably didn't expect this, and was stunned when he heard it. Then he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He was thinking about what else Jing Zhichen could do, but he didn't know that the moment the dish entered his mouth...
The whole person just stood there stupidly.
This is the taste of the tavern that Xu Xingyin used to frequent!
But the last time Xu Xingyin took Jing Zhichen and the others to eat there, didn’t the boss have a new one?
In Chun Xiang's eyes, Xu Xingyin was an extremely intelligent person. It was rare to see Xu Xingyin looking so confused, so Chun Xiang couldn't help laughing and explained softly.
"Xiao Anzi said that the Crown Prince noticed that you had a poor appetite recently, so he sent them to search for this family for a long time before finding them."
The girl next to her was smarter than Chunxiang, and she quickly picked out nice words to say to Xu Xingyin.
"In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince holds our Crown Princess in his heart and cherishes her! Otherwise, given that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so busy every day, he wouldn't be concerned about everything about the Crown Princess."
"That's right. In the opera, it says, if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him ten feet. Princess, would you like to go and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and bring him some food?"
Chun Xiang also nodded quickly, leaned over and whispered in Xu Xingyin's ear: "I heard from Xiao Anzi that His Highness has been very busy these days and has hardly had time to eat properly."
