The useless princess is causing trouble again

At noon the next day, teahouses in the streets and alleys were filled with tea drinkers, drinking tea and gossiping, and the focus of the topic was all around Admiral Xu and Princess Runing.

"I heard that Admiral Xu will be executed in three days. What crime did he commit? And how did Princess Runing die?"

"Hehe! I know about this. My cousin was working in the temporary government office. Admiral Xu and Princess Runing conspired to harm Princess Sheng. In the end, the conspiracy was exposed. Princess Runing was beheaded on the spot by His Royal Highness Prince Sheng, and Admiral Xu was dismissed from his post and sentenced to death."

"Your Highness Prince Sheng is a ruthless man. He helped us get rid of the hypocrite Admiral Xu. It's worth celebrating with a drink."

"Haha, brother, what you said makes sense. It's worth celebrating. Cheers! The unruly princess is finally dead."

Shangguan Wei sat in a corner, dressed like a young gentleman in a blue shirt, eating sunflower seeds and listening to the discussions around her with great interest. She laughed when she heard something that satisfied her. Her voice was loud, her expression was not well controlled, and she looked like a fool. Everyone looked over at the sound, looking up and down at the young gentleman in front of them who was as beautiful as a woman.

"Where did this young master come from? He must be from another place."

"This is the first time I've seen a handsome young man, but he's a little silly."

"What is he laughing at? Is he laughing at the same thing as us?"

"Sir, don't laugh too loudly. Everyone is looking at you."

Taozi sat on the bench on the left, with her right hand against her mouth, speaking in a hoarse voice.

Shangguan Wei looked up, clasped her hands together, and said in a manly voice, "Hello everyone. My surname is Long, my given name is Jun, and I am passing through here to rest. I hate evil and have a clear distinction between love and hate. I am very interested in your topic, so I may have lost my sense of proportion."

The scholar in blue shirt not far away stood up and said, "It's alright, Master Jun. It's a blessing to get rid of two troublemakers. It's worth celebrating. I feel the same as you."

Shangguan Wei turned her head and saw a handsome scholar wearing a green gown and a mahogany hair crown. His face was slightly pale, giving him a weak feeling, but his eyes were bright and firm, and his whole body revealed an indomitable spirit.

He smiled and replied, "That's right. I'd like to offer a glass to this gentleman in green. We are fortunate to have met each other so we can have tea instead of wine." He raised the teacup with both hands and clinked glasses with the gentleman in green.

"Okay, then let's use tea instead of wine."

The two of them smiled at each other, showing the demeanor of scholars.

The scholar in green put down his teacup and walked straight towards Shangguan Wei. He was tall and straight, with elegant manners, and his movements revealed an otherworldly temperament. He walked as lightly as the wind, as if he was not of this world, with a smile on his lips, making people feel friendly and warm.

Standing opposite Shangguan Wei, he cupped his hands and said gently, "Mr. Jun and I hit it off right away. Can we sit down and chat? My last name is Ke, and my courtesy name is Yunqing. I have studied sage books for several years but have no achievements. If you don't mind, I will treat you as a friend. You can call me Yunqing."

Shangguan Wei gestured for him to sit down. "Yun Qing is an open and sincere person. We have become friends. There is no need to call him Young Master Jun. You can call him Ah Jun. I wonder where Yun Qing lives. It will be convenient for you to visit him in the future."

Ke Yunqing smiled helplessly, "My home is at No. 18, Yong'an Lane, but my family is so poor that I have not been able to find a job yet. I am ashamed to say that I can't afford to treat Ah Jun with anything decent."

Shangguan Wei was a little surprised. "Oh, Yunqing's speech and behavior are not ordinary. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"I used to work as a staff member in the Admiral's Office. I blame myself for being dull and not as smart as others. I left because of disagreements with others and ended up living in poverty. I hope you won't laugh at me."

At this time, a man at the table in front interrupted, "Mr. Jun, don't listen to Ke Yunqing's nonsense. He is a well-known talent in Nanjiang County. He could compose a poem in seven steps at the age of six, passed the examination for a student at the age of eight, and passed the examination for a scholar at the age of twelve. It's a pity that the world treats him unfairly. He has a wealth of knowledge but no chance to display his talent."

Shangguan Wei thought of what Admiral Xu had done and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! This is the system, I understand it very well. But with Yun Qing's talent and ambition, how could a dragon be trapped in shallow water forever? I believe that one day he will be able to stand out."

Ke Yunqing clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Thank you, Ajun, for your kind words. I have studied hard for many years and am determined to speak for the people. I will definitely work hard to make a difference."

Shangguan Wei took out a jade token and a bag of silver from her bosom and placed them in front of Ke Yunqing. "Yunqing, please accept the silver to solve your urgent problem. In addition, Long is willing to lend a hand to Yunqing. Take this jade token and come to No. 1 Nanfeng Street at 9:00 tomorrow. It can solve Yunqing's current predicament."

Ke Yunqing stared at the jade token in a daze, and had some guesses about Shangguan Wei in his heart. Could it be that he was the one who ...

At this time, Taozi looked at the sky and said, "Sir, it's getting late. We should leave too."

"Okay, let's go back now."

"Yunqing, please accept the gift. There is no need to refuse it now. People with ability do not ask about the origin. I hope you can come as promised tomorrow at 9:00 p.m."

Shangguan Wei did not take back the things on the table. She stood up and walked out with Taozi.

Everyone was stunned, and a few people spoke out to express their happiness for Ke Yunqing.

"Brother Yunqing is lucky to meet a noble person when he goes out."

"That young man is dressed gorgeously, and it's obvious that he is a person of status. Yun Qing must seize the opportunity."

"Brother, when you become successful in the future, remember to help us."

Ke Yunqing was silent for a moment, and then he made up his mind. He took the jade token and the silver and put them in his arms. He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you very much. Yunqing will live up to everyone's expectations."

……

In the narrow and long alley, a black carriage was driving on the gravel road. The ancient walls on both sides were covered with vines, telling the past glory and vicissitudes. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming light and shadow, giving people a mysterious feeling, as if every corner hides an unknown story.

The alley was very quiet, and only the sound of horse hooves and wheels could be heard. Mei sat in the driver's seat, skillfully driving the two horses forward steadily. Perhaps because of the hot weather, the carriage was silent. Shangguan Wei leaned over and sat on the soft couch, sleeping soundly with her hands on the small square table.

Taozi sat on the lower left side, holding a palm-leaf fan in her right hand, and fanning it rhythmically in front of Shangguan Wei.

Mei drove the carriage to the corner and heard hurried footsteps getting closer and closer. With his murderous keenness, he immediately stopped the carriage at the corner, put his right index finger in his mouth, and blew his unique whistle.

Shangguan Wei was immediately awakened by the whistle, and the grumpiness of waking up surrounded the carriage, "He has nothing better to do than to rush to his death every day. Can't he accumulate some good karma and live a few more years?"

The sound was so loud that Taozi was so frightened that she held the palm-leaf fan with both hands and hid in the corner, not daring to speak.

The lady is so angry, she has taken gunpowder and someone is going to suffer.

As I was thinking about it, when I looked up again, Shangguan Wei was no longer there.

The alley was filled with black-clad and masked killers. The leader stood in front of the team, with a tuft of distinctive white hair hanging in front of his forehead. His eagle-like eyes were fixed on the opposite side, so cold that it made people shudder.

"We have followed you all the way. If you know what's best for you, surrender now. Otherwise, you will die without a burial place."

"Don't even think about hurting the young master."

Mei stood in front of the carriage, her eyes cold and ruthless, like two sharp knives. There was no expression on her face when she spoke, only indifference.

"Humph! Then I'll send you to hell."

The leader waved his hand, and a group of masked men in black behind him swarmed up and attacked Mei like a pack of ferocious and bloodthirsty wolves.

"Hold on, I'm using a dirty trick. If you get any closer, you'll all be poisoned and die."

The masked man in black stopped and looked towards the nearby wall in the direction of the voice. The figure of a young man in white appeared in his field of vision. He stood there with his hands on his hips, looking so arrogant that it was annoying.

"Princess Sheng is a scheming woman who is best at using words to deceive people. Our mission is to kill her, or we will die to atone for our sins."

The leader raised his right index finger and pointed at Shangguan Wei, staring at her intently and giving orders in a serious tone.

The masked men in black held long swords and quickly split into two directions, attacking Shangguan Wei and Mei.

Shangguan Wei looked down at the fierce masked men in black below, shook her head and sighed, "You didn't listen to me, and now you're suffering. Goodbye, you guys."
