Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingxi was so angry that he shouted on the shore: "You two are dead! If you have the guts, don't come ashore again!"

Seeing Xiao Qingxi on the shore turning green with anger, Gu Qianning became even happier.

She hugged Shen Wantang's arm with a smile: "Atang, you are so smart. Xiao Qingxi must be so angry this time! Just now I thought you really wanted to ride on the same pleasure boat with her. If that was the case, I would have vomited to death! Fortunately, you didn't!"

Shen Wantang turned her head and looked at Gu Qianning's brilliant smile. She finally smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Of course we can't take them on our pleasure boat. However, in order to leave them behind, I will also leave your second brother behind."

Only then did Gu Qianning realize that Gu Qianhan had not yet boarded the pleasure boat.

But she quickly shook her head: "It's okay, we will be more comfortable if Second Brother doesn't come up!"

She took the bunch of river lanterns she had bought from the maid and turned to ask the boat owner, "Boss, do you have any writing brushes or ink on this painting boat?"

"Yes, yes, yes! They are all prepared!"

"That would be great. I'll write a few more wishes!"

shore.

Xiao Qingxi's face turned pale: "Brother, I want to take a boat ride on the river too! Go buy me one!"

Xiao Qingyuan clenched his fists: "Why would I want to take a pleasure boat and cruise on the river? I'm not in the mood for that now!"

"If you don't want to take a pleasure boat, forget it. I'll take Nan Shi and Lin Rouxin with me! Aunt Kang, let's go and buy a pleasure boat!"

After Xiao Qingxi finished speaking, he walked forward briskly.

Liu Nanshi naturally followed her.

A trace of fear appeared on Lin Rouxin's face: "Princess, I came out just to release some river lanterns, the painted boat... Is it okay if I don't sit on it?"

Xiao Qingxi turned around suddenly: "I took you to ride on the pleasure boat because I am taking care of you, don't be so shameless! Hurry up and get over here!"

Lin Rouxin was startled: "Yes, yes, thank you for taking care of me, Princess. I will take the pleasure boat with you. Don't be angry, Princess."

She lowered her head and quickly caught up with Xiao Qingxi.

Huo Yunzhou, who was standing by, felt extremely distressed. He reached out to grab Lin Rouxin's hand, but unexpectedly, Lin Rouxin shook his hand away in fear, as if she had encountered a poisonous snake.

"Xiao Qingyuan, why is Rouxin suddenly so afraid of contact with me? Tell me the truth, did Xiao Qingxi threaten her?"

"No, no, no! I've said no hundreds of times! How long are you going to ask?"

Xiao Qingyuan glared at Huo Yunzhou impatiently: "I'm in a bad mood today, don't mess with me!"

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, but you promised to protect Rouxin, you can't break your promise! Qingxi was very angry today, and she suddenly had the good intention to take Rouxin on a pleasure boat cruise, which is very unreasonable! You can't leave, we have to follow them!"

In fact, Xiao Qingyuan was worried about letting the two of them be together. Xiao Qingxi was a powder keg that could explode at any time. If something happened, he would not be able to explain to his mother.

"Let's go, follow them, and you'd better pray that Qingxi can't buy a pleasure boat."

After he finished speaking, he quickly caught up with Xiao Qingxi.

What he didn't know was that right behind him, a pair of sharp eyes were staring at him coldly.

"Master, they are all gone. The eldest lady and the Crown Prince's wife have also boarded the pleasure boat. What should we do?"

"Jixiang, how much did you spend on the pleasure boat you just bought?"

"I spent a full 1,000 taels. Why are you asking this, sir?"

"Go to the front and sell the pleasure boat to Xiao Qingxi."

Jixiang was stunned: "Ah? Sir, didn't you just let me buy it? Why are you selling it again? In fact, the painting boat is not worth one thousand taels, but because tonight is the Lantern Festival, the boat owner asked for a high price, and we were in a hurry to get it, so we offered such a high price. If we sell it to the princess, will she accept it?"

Gu Qianhan looked indifferent: "She will want it, but not one thousand taels."

"Ah? Are you going to sell it at a loss?"

“I never do business at a loss.”

"How much do you want to sell it for?"

"Ten thousand taels."

"what?!"

Jixiang's jaw dropped in shock: "Sir, isn't this price too high? Although the princess can afford it, she probably doesn't want to be a sucker, right?"

"She does."

"Why? How do you know?"

"Because she wants to borrow the boat to kill someone tonight."

"what?!"

Jixiang's eyes widened: "Who is she going to kill?"

“Lin Rouxin, however, as long as it’s not A Ning and Shen Wantang, it doesn’t matter who Xiao Qingxi wants to kill.”

Gu Qianhan said in a cold tone: "Go sell the boat."

"Yes!"

Jixiang responded and moved nimbly among the crowd, disappearing in a moment.

When he appeared next to Gu Qianhan again, his face was already full of excitement: "Sir, you really guessed it right. The princess really bought our pleasure boat for 10,000 taels. She didn't bargain and bought it without blinking an eye!"

Gu Qianhan nodded: "Well done."

Jixiang took out a 10,000 tael silver note and handed it to Gu Qianhan: "Sir, the silver note."

"No need to give it to me. This ten thousand taels is a reward for you."

"what?!"

Jixiang was dumbfounded.

In the past, the young master was generous and often rewarded him with silver, but usually he rewarded him with a few taels, dozens of taels, or ten thousand taels? I've never heard of it!

In the whole Dafeng, there is no young man or young lady who rewards servants like this!

He was in a daze when Gu Qianhan's indifferent and low voice came from above his head: "Keep the banknotes. When I do that thing in the future, you don't have to stay with me. The farther you go, the better. You can go to the countryside, buy some land, buy some houses, marry a virtuous wife, and live a stable life."

He was obviously making arrangements for his funeral, for he was afraid that if his rebellion failed, the people around him would die with him.

Jixiang's eyes instantly turned red. "I'll take the banknotes, but I won't leave. Wherever you go, I'll go. Heiyao and the others will follow you through fire and water. Although I don't have Heiyao's martial arts skills, I'm not a coward."

Gu Qianhan's voice was still indifferent: "Hei Yao and the others were originally my death warriors. It is only natural for them to die with me. But you are not, you are just a servant."

"But, sir..."

"This matter is settled."

Gu Qianhan didn't allow him to refute: "Listen to me."

Jixiang lowered his head with red eyes. The banknotes in his hand suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

His emotions were surging, but Gu Qianhan was calm and indifferent, not like a living person. He even had the energy to care about Xiao Qingyuan: "They are going to board the pleasure boat. Since it is our pleasure boat, we should also go up and sit on it."

After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he stepped forward and stopped Xiao Qingyuan who was about to get on the boat.

Xiao Qingyuan was already in a very bad mood because he was deceived by Shen Wantang. When he saw Gu Qianhan appear, his mood became so bad that it was indescribable.

"Gu Qianhan! Who told you to block my way? Get out of my way!"

While blocking Xiao Qingyuan, Gu Qianhan said to Xiao Qingxi who was already on the pleasure boat: "Xiao Qingxi, get off! I want this pleasure boat!"
