Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era
Chapter 279 Two Phases of Calculation
The palace banquet ended with both the guests and the hosts enjoying themselves.
Of course, the Fifth Princess Ling Lu was very unhappy, and Concubine Gu was also full of resentment, but seeing her son so happy, she still forced herself to cheer up.
The marriage proposal they had planned had no chance to be made due to the Fifth Princess' ridiculous suggestion, so they had to make other plans.
Cangyu resisted the urge to beat someone up, and when Ling Ji repeatedly offered to take them back to the inn, he walked between him and Qian You, blocking Ling Ji's steps from blatantly approaching Qian You.
Qian You and Qiao Mu and Qiao Nan strolled leisurely on the palace road, watching the undercurrent between the two men and couldn't help laughing.
Finally, after sending the plague god away, the four returned to the inn.
“Qian You, I really can’t stand it anymore. What should I do if I want to beat Ling Ji to death?”
"Then think carefully about how to kill him."
Qian You's simple words made Cang Yu stunned.
He was just expressing his unhappiness and trying to seek comfort.
"Huh? What's the problem?"
Qian You instructed Qiao Nan to take off the cumbersome headdress and looked at the two men sitting at the table with some doubt.
"No, do you really want to kill King Ji?"
"Didn't you say you wanted him dead?"
Cangyu touched the tip of his nose unnaturally and said nothing more.
“Prime Minister Gu proposed holding a hunting festival in three days, with only one purpose, marriage.
You or me, or you and me.
Their trump card has been revealed. If they form a marriage alliance with you and me, they will use the power of Dongcang or Nanqi to force Ling Xiao to abdicate or get rid of him and let Ling Ji succeed him.
They are evenly matched now, and it only takes you or me to break the balance. We are here at the right time for them."
Qian You analyzed the situation calmly, completely losing the naivete she had at the palace banquet.
"The purpose is very clear, and we also need to think of a countermeasure." Qiao Mu continued.
At the palace banquet today, he has always been a very good guest of honor.
But he saw the expressions and thoughts of everyone in the hall. At this moment, he was very calm and continued to analyze the situation.
"Prime Minister Gu's party has quite a few followers. At least they can compete with Emperor Xiling in the court. Under the current circumstances, it is almost impossible for Emperor Xiling to conclude a peace agreement. This hunting festival may be a good opportunity for us to break the impasse."
"Without destruction, there is no construction. Everyone is trying to break the deadlock. It depends on who has the best means to have the last laugh."
Qian You shook his head, finally feeling relieved, sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and spoke while thinking.
"The Xiling Emperor has obvious expectations of us, and Prime Minister Gu is clearly trying to win us over. We also hope to resolve Xiling's hidden dangers. We are not afraid that they will not move during this hunting festival, but we are afraid that they will not dare to move."
Cangyu put aside his groundless jealousy, followed Qianyou's ideas, and started to make arrangements.
"Qiao Mu, send someone to keep a close eye on Prime Minister Gu's movements. It's best to learn about their plans for the hunting festival in advance. We are not familiar with the terrain, so we must be fully prepared."
"Okay, I'll have my brothers keep an eye on it 24 hours a day."
"I will discuss this carefully with Emperor Xi Ling and make full use of Ling Xiao's power. Otherwise, our people in the open and in secret alone will not be enough to fight against Prime Minister Gu's people."
Qian You put down the teacup, stood up and stretched, then continued with Cang Yu's words.
"My mission is Ling Ji. He is a key person in our mission, and we must make good use of him. I will pretend to be weak to the end, so please don't break my disguise."
She turned to Cangyu and gave a solemn reminder.
"Can you please not..."
"What do you mean by no? I'm not really close to him. If he showed me his affection, could I stop him? Just like the fifth princess flirting with you, couldn't you stop him?"
"I shut down my five senses."
Cangyu felt very aggrieved and muttered softly.
"That's passive. Emotions are better to be released than blocked. There's no point in avoiding them."
"But I still feel very uncomfortable."
"As an emperor, you should not only think about love affairs. We are doing serious business."
Qian You looked at Cang Yu with an angry look, and at this moment he looked like a big white dog, with a face full of grievance.
Xiuzhu was standing behind him.
He really didn't have the face to look at it anymore. Was this still the emperor and the cold-faced god of war that he knew?
On the second day, Cangyu was invited to the palace.
Qiao Mu and Qiao Nan went to the Qianmai Palace branch.
Of course, no one knows their whereabouts.
After lunch, Ling Ji came to the inn again.
Last night, his dreams were filled with Qian You's figure and her ethereal tunes.
She was burning with desire, and she could no longer bear it, so she called her maid to relieve it. All she could think about and see was Qian You's figure.
This morning, after the court meeting, he couldn't wait to find Prime Minister Gu.
After the two of them discussed for an hour, he hurried to the inn in high spirits.
"Inform your Highness and tell him that Prince Ji is visiting and will accompany the Princess to tour the city of Moore."
He gave instructions to the maid who was as stiff as a wooden stake, and turned around and walked into the room without looking around. Qian You was leaning on the beauty couch and chatting with Qiu Feng.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji is here and wants to invite you to visit Moore City."
"Oh? Okay, let him wait, I'll change my clothes and leave."
Jingsi turned around and replied without saying anything.
Qian You was very satisfied with the personalities of these two people.
A quarter of an hour later, Qian You went out in a moon-white skirt, followed by Jingsi and Qiu Feng.
The fresh and beautiful dress made Ling Ji feel charming and he fantasized about the beauty of being with her.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I've been waiting for a long time."
"No, it's an honor to wait for a beauty to dress up."
Qian You smiled faintly and did not respond to his teasing.
"Let's go. Where is your highness going to take me?"
"Please ask Your Highness the Princess to experience the customs and habits of Xiling and take a look at our Moore City."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, King Ji."
"It is my honor."
The two of them walked out of the inn while talking, and a luxurious carriage was waiting in front of the gate of the inn.
Qian You was not pretentious and got into the carriage swiftly, which made Ling Ji feel a little hesitant and embarrassed.
Qian You asked two maids to get on the carriage. Seeing Ling Ji also got on the carriage, she politely asked the maids to make room for her.
Ling Ji sat down somewhat awkwardly, brushed off the non-existent wrinkles on his gorgeous brocade robe, and told the driver to drive to the busiest street.
"Your Highness, Xiling is an open-minded place, and women are relatively free to come and go. It won't damage a girl's reputation if she lives with a man. Of course, private spaces are not allowed."
"Oh! Is it okay like a carriage?"
Qian You asked in a coquettish and naive tone, lifting the curtain to look at the street scene outside the car.
"Yes, relatives and friends, men and women, can ride in the same carriage and feast at the same table."
"Does that mean we are now close friends?"
Qian You did not shift his gaze and responded absentmindedly.
"It would be an honor if you could."
Ling Ji didn't expect Qian You to speak so frankly, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Qian You was in a good mood. She looked at the scenery and passers-by outside the car window along the way. Ling Ji looked at her intently. The atmosphere in the car was peaceful and warm, which made him more fond of the temperament of Princess Nanqi.
