First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 888 Disciple Control (Second update)

Shangguan Qing calmed down the excitement in his heart and returned to the person he didn't recognize.

Shangguan Qing is not much more familiar with Quyang than Xiao Heng, but his appetite is getting worse and worse these days. In order to let him eat more, Gu Jiao asked Master Hu to search for delicious food for him in the streets and alleys.

 He probably remembered a few shops.

The coachman was a local. After giving his name, he took them there with ease.

This is a noodle shop opened by Zhao people, but it claims to have the flavor of the Six Nations.

Shangguan Qing ordered two bowls of Zhaoguo’s special Yangchun noodles.

Xiao Heng looked at the noodles in the bowl and thought that they were not completely similar to Yangchun noodles. They had absolutely nothing to do with them.

 Xiao Heng tasted the taste and found it was pretty average.

Shangguan Qing seemed to be eating with gusto. He asked Xiao Heng: "How is it? Is it as delicious as the ones in Zhaoguo?"

Xiao Heng glanced at him and said, "Jiaojiao's cooking is better than this."

Shangguan Qing said unexpectedly: "That girl can also cook?"

A trace of tenderness flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes: "Jiaojiao is a good cook."

 Shangguan Qing curled his lips.

Hum, he is here to eat noodles, not dog food.

 Quyang City is gradually restoring order, but due to the impact of the war, prices have increased. On weekdays, Yangchun’s noodles cost six knives, but now they cost 20 knives.

This is a small increase, and the price of meat is even more outrageous. A small bowl of donkey meat was sold for two taels of silver.

Shangguan Qing glanced at Xiao Heng who was eating noodles silently, rolled his eyes, and ordered two bowls of the most expensive donkey meat and a jar of thirty-year-old wine.

“By the way, you didn’t bring any money with you when you went out, right?” he asked seriously.

“No.” Xiao Heng shook his head blankly.

  I really didn’t bring it.

There were eunuchs taking care of food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way, and the banknotes were all in the luggage in the military camp.

Shangguan Qing patted his chest and said, "It doesn't matter! I'll bring it! As my brother, I'll treat you to a meal. Can you still pay for it? There's a good sweet-scented osmanthus cake over there. I'll buy it for you!"

Xiao Heng said hurriedly: "I'll go."

Shangguan Qing smiled and said, "No, no, no, I'm your brother, I'll go!"

Xiao Heng thought for a while: "Well, okay."

Shangguan Qing reminded: "By the way, remember not to reveal the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson. There are assassins from Jin in the city, and you will be in danger!"

Xiao Heng nodded obediently: "Oh, I understand."

Shangguan Qing left with a smile.

As soon as he came out of the shop, he pulled the waiter at the door and said casually: "The person who came with me just now, he paid the bill!"

They are both good-looking and well-dressed. They look like young masters from wealthy families.

The waiter smiled very politely and said: "Okay, sir!"

After Shangguan Qing walked to the opposite side, he turned back and sneered at Xiao Heng, who was eating noodles slowly in the shop.

 Silly brother.

 Waiting to be beaten!

Shangguan Qing actually went to the shop that sells sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, for no other reason than that he could directly see the noodle shop opposite.

 He wants to witness with his own eyes the dark history of the young champion!

He went up to the second floor and asked for a superior private room, and ordered a pot of the most expensive tea. He crossed his legs and watched the show leisurely.

Should he be beaten out soon?

 When will you take action?

 Would it be too cruel to beat him until he cries for his father?

Shangguan Qing waited for a long time but saw no movement at the door of the noodle shop.

"What's going on? He wasn't beaten to death directly inside, was he?"

 “Oops, I forgot that the shop has a backyard!”

“It would be terrible if they attacked the kid in the backyard!”

Shangguan Qing just wanted to clean up Xiao Heng and had no intention of killing Xiao Heng. He hurried downstairs and planned to throw the money bag directly to the shopkeeper without looking for it.

 But his hand was empty.

He was startled, lowered his head and rummaged around.

 “Huh? Where is my wallet?”

When the shopkeeper saw this gesture, he immediately darkened his face: "Sir, did you drop your wallet? You had it with you when you came out, but somehow it disappeared?"

Shangguan Qing wondered: "How do you know?"

The shopkeeper rolled up his sleeves: "Haha! I've heard this excuse too many times! He looks like a dog! He's actually a liar! You don't even know who owns my shop! How dare you cheat in my shop! You are so brave! Come here! Capture him! Drag him to the backyard! If you don't hand over the money, I will break one of his legs!"

Shangguan Qing said in disbelief: "You are too evil-minded! How can you use a leg to pay off the debt for such a small thing! You have no law!"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly: "The king's law? This is our king's law in Quyang City!"

　　Well…there are many wars at the border, and it seems that the local laws have indeed been changed.

 Shopkeeper: “Catch him!”

“Wait a minute!” Shangguan Qing stretched out a hand and gestured, “I am the emperor’s eldest grandson!”

The shopkeeper took out a portrait from the counter and unfolded it with a snap: "Do you think I have never seen the emperor's eldest grandson? Boy! This is the emperor's eldest grandson!"

Shangguan Qing was shocked when he looked at the portrait of a man so ugly that his features were scattered and he looked like a skeleton and a ghost!

I go!

Has the image of the emperor’s eldest grandson collapsed like this?

Or is it that these days, just a little tear mole will make you the emperor's eldest grandson?

Shangguan Qing solemnly testified: "This is not the emperor's eldest grandson!"

The shopkeeper said: "How do you know he is not?"

Shangguan Qing said sternly: “Because I am!”

Your young master and I have been the eldest grandson of the emperor of Dayan for twenty years! Don’t I know better than you what the emperor’s eldest grandson looks like?

Shopkeeper: "You don't have a mole on your face, you don't!"

 It may not be true for those with tear moles, but certainly not for those without tear moles!

This is a scholar meeting a soldier, and it is hard to explain why.

Shangguan Qing was furious.

However, you can’t really kill them with a firecracker. After all, they are open for business and have done nothing bad.

Just when Shangguan Qing was being held down awkwardly, Xiao Heng walked over calmly.

 He looked at Shangguan Qing in the shop, and a touch of surprise appeared on his face: "Brother, are you really here?"

Shangguan Qing looked back: "You...you...why did you come out...?"

 I wanted to say how did you come out?

 I thought for a while, thinking that this would be exposed, so I quickly changed the last word.

 He is so witty.

Xiao Heng said: "Oh, I finished eating my noodles, so I came to find you."

Shangguan Qing opened his mouth: "Then...have you paid for the meal?"

“It’s done, fifty-three taels in total. Brother, the wine is so expensive.” Xiao Heng frowned.

Shangguan Qing asked blankly: "Don't you have any money?"

Xiao Heng opened his eyes wide and said, "Brother, have you forgotten? You left your money bag to me."

Shangguan Qing: "Huh?"

 Xiao Heng: “On your bench.”

grass!

I just left my money bag on the bench!

So those fifty-three taels were spent on his money?

Shangguan Qing took a breath.

　　Not angry, not angry, only fifty-three taels.

 “Brother, here you go.” Xiao Heng returned the money bag to Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing once suspected that this kid did it on purpose, but looking at Xiao Heng's innocent eyes like a deer, he felt that he was worrying too much.

 He took out the banknote and settled the bill.

 The shopkeeper smiled and sent the two of them off respectfully.

Shangguan Qing took a deep breath and became angrier as he thought about it on the way back.

He wanted to see this kid embarrassed, but why did he make him laugh instead?

 He has never suffered such a setback in his twenty years of life!

 The situation must be restored!

 “Stop the car,” he ordered.

 The driver stopped the carriage.

Shangguan Qing took Xiao Heng out of the carriage.

Xiao Heng asked with doubts in his eyes: "Brother, where are we going?"

This brother’s cry is really nice.

Shangguan Qing almost softened his heart, but fortunately, he had a strong heart and stabilized himself in time!

He said: "This is the first time we meet. As my brother, I should prepare a meeting gift for you. I didn't prepare one in advance, so I'll buy you one now!"

Xiao Heng shook his head slightly: "No need, brother, I haven't prepared anything for you either."

Shangguan Qinghao waved his hands angrily and said: "That's different! I am the elder brother, and I must give you a greeting gift! If you are polite to me again, I will get angry!"

Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment, and then said politely: "Since my brother said so, then it's better for Ah Heng to obey my order respectfully."

Shangguan Qing put his arm around his shoulders, patted him, and said with a smile: "This is so ridiculous!"

Shangguan Qing took Xiao Heng to an antique shop. During the troubled times, the nearby antique shops closed one after another, and this was the only one still open.

Xiao Heng pulled his sleeves and whispered: "Brother, the things here are too valuable. Let's move to another place."

The young Marquis of Zhaodu, whose mother is a princess and his father is a Marquis, actually thinks that a few antiques are expensive?

　　Ah, by the way, this younger brother once lived among the people for several years and lived a hard life.

Shangguan Qing almost relented again, but fortunately he was well-educated. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have saved a lot of private money in the past few years! You can pick whatever you like! No need to be polite to my brother!"

This time Shangguan Qing learned the lesson and checked the money bag again and again and did not drop it.

 In fact, it doesn’t matter even if it is dropped here, the banknotes in the wallet are not enough to buy an antique!

 “You look first, I’ll go to the hut!”

"good."

Xiao Heng stayed on the second floor to look at antiques. Shangguan Qing went downstairs, picked out a few antiques in the lobby and took them with him: "Upstairs, my brother will pay the bill."

This trick may not work if others try to trick him, but at first glance, the two of them are young masters from aristocratic families, and no one suspects that Shangguan Qing is a little liar.

 Shangguan Qing took the antique and ran away!

 You brat, let’s see how you can escape this time!

Shangguan Qing looked up to the sky and smiled, hahaha!

 He returned to the carriage carrying a bag of antiques. As soon as he opened the curtain, he was so frightened that he almost fell off!

 “Why are you here?”

Xiao Heng smiled slightly: "After I finish shopping, I will get in the car and wait for my brother."

Shangguan Qing was even more surprised: "Have you...finished the purchase?"

He looked at the large boxes of antiques in the car with dumbfounded eyes, "Did you buy them all?"

Xiao Heng said with an innocent face: "These are all chosen by my brother just now, and I must accept them."

 I, I did say that, but what did you settle the bill with?

Shangguan Qing touched the money bag and found that it was still there.

Xiao Heng said with a smile on his face: "I said that my brother is the eldest grandson of the emperor. The shopkeeper said that it doesn't matter. He will go to the city lord's mansion to find my brother to collect the bill."

 Why I said I was the emperor's eldest grandson, but no one believed it. You said I was the emperor's eldest grandson, and he believed it?

 So many antiques…

How much silver do you get?

Your brother, I have saved my private money for more than ten years—

The little person in Shangguan Qing's heart fell to his knees on the ground and cried out -
