The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight
Chapter 47: The ruthless official x the delicate princess (5)
But what exactly is going on? We will finally see the truth after a while...
He had no likes or dislikes for his future wife at the moment, and it would be best if she could always behave herself.
The Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't need this bit of food.
Cen Jinzhao had an idea in mind. He glanced at the gorgeous yet gloomy palace and turned the ring on his hand: "Eleven, send a few people to follow the Sixth Princess when you go back."
"Yes."
Eleven didn't ask. People like them didn't need to have their own thoughts. They just needed to follow orders from above.
-
In the following days, Chi Chu clearly felt that many people were watching her, both openly and secretly. The princess who had never received any attention suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Ning Yingyue hadn't been here during this period. She was probably scared. Plus, Concubine Xian wanted the other party to stay away from this place, so she didn't explain it clearly, and made Ning Yingyue think that this place was haunted.
This way, she will stop wanting to run around.
As for Chi Chu, she was summoned by the Queen and Concubine Xian once each, but they didn't make things too difficult for her, as they seemed to understand that her fate would not be good.
The two "mothers" went through the process perfunctorily without giving any detailed instructions like ordinary daughters getting married.
Chi Chu also knew that there was nothing to worry about with this fake mother-daughter relationship.
She was concerned about another thing——
A week later, she finally breathed the air outside the palace.
As for those who followed her - including the maids, they were of course still in the palace at this time.
In their memory, there will be a Sixth Princess in the palace who has never gone out and sits in her room reading quietly.
Chi Chu had previously studied history and adapted to this place very quickly.
Although the memories of the previous world have become like "books" or "movies", the skills learned are real. For example, Chi Chu has not forgotten the book knowledge he learned before.
Of course, this world is different from the previous world, and the history is naturally different. Some experiences and content can only be used as a reference.
In the ancient context, the Ning Dynasty was a very prosperous dynasty. There was a lot of traffic outside, and small vendors set up stalls on the roadside. It was obvious that they had a serious business plan.
The atmosphere here is quite open, with men, women, young and old walking on the streets. Although Chi Chu is good-looking, there are also some noble ladies from aristocratic families who do not travel by car on weekdays, so her presence among them does not seem out of place.
Chi Chu also went to a nearby horse rental place to ask about the price - after all, the original owner's wish was to eat more and see more, and if he was just trapped in this small capital city, it wouldn't be very meaningful.
Fortunately, the price of the horse is not too expensive, and with Chi Chu's current wealth, he can definitely afford it.
Chi Chu bought some snacks as he walked along the way.
She herself likes history very much, because history has a very cruel objectivity. Looking back at the past from the present, one will have a sense of calmness from a God's perspective.
This feeling, for some reason, made her feel very familiar.
At this time, Chi Chu did not notice that there were two men sitting face to face in a private room on the second floor of a teahouse on the street.
"Jin Chao...Look, there's a beauty down there!"
The first person to notice Chi Chu was not Cen Jinchao, but the man sitting opposite him. The other person was dressed in white, holding a fan in his hand, looking like a suave and noble gentleman.
Of course, what he said was quite consistent with his character.
Cen Jinzhao knew the other person's temperament, his expression did not change, and his eyes did not move: "Well, so what do you think of my suggestion, Master Xu?"
"How can I watch...what can I do? Just sit and watch."
Xu Shiyin helplessly slapped the folding fan against his palm: "Cooperating with you, Prime Minister Cen, what else can I refute? I dare not bargain with you."
"Mr. Xu, there is no need to belittle yourself."
Cen Jinzhao had no reaction to such flattery.
The opponent Xu Shiyin is not from a high-class family, but that doesn’t mean he is incapable.
On the contrary, as an imperial merchant who had established a connection with the imperial palace three years after arriving in Beijing, Xu Shiyin's strength in some areas was terrifying enough.
Such people say they dare not bargain...
Just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
"Hey... the identity of that little beauty just now seems to be not simple. There are several people following her sneakily. I'm afraid they will find a chance to attack her later."
Xu Shiyin ignored Cen Jinzhao's words, but leaned on the window and looked outside with great interest: "This little beauty looks a little familiar, but I don't think I know her. She's so well-behaved and pretty. If I knew her, I would definitely have an impression of her."
The words "well-behaved and good-looking" seemed to touch Cen Jinzhao, and he subconsciously glanced out the window.
But just one glance made his hands freeze.
Because the beauty Xu Shiyin mentioned——
It was Chi Chu!
Xu Shiyin had been to the palace to meet the emperor before, and also got to know several princes and nobles, so of course Chi Chu looked familiar to him. However, a normal person would not think of her as a princess just because they saw her on the street.
Cen Jinchao had the same idea, but he never expected to see Chi Chu here!
This is the street outside the palace... Why is she, a princess, walking here alone?
Cen Jinzhao's eyes flashed, and his mind turned into a thousand thoughts in an instant.
Xu Shiyin on the opposite side noticed that something was wrong with him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
This Prime Minister Cen can be said to be a representative of self-discipline. He, Xu Shiyin, only loves money and beauties in his life and has no interest in power. However, Cen Jinchao is completely the opposite of him. He never touches beauties, and even money is just a stepping stone for him to fight for power.
Therefore, Xu Shiyin could feel at ease cooperating with the other party. After all, the two of them were seeking different things.
This was the first time Xu Shiyin saw Cen Jinzhao's emotions fluctuate because of a woman!
"What's the matter? Prime Minister Cen, do you know the little beauty below?" Xu Shiyin asked tentatively.
"..."
He thought he would get a negative answer, but unexpectedly, Cen Jinchao remained silent.
Do you really know each other? !
Xu Shiyin was really interested this time. He thought about what had happened recently and soon had someone he suspected: "I've never heard of you being close to any noble lady before. I only know that you are engaged to the princess."
"This...could it be the Sixth Princess?" As he said this, Xu Shiyin started laughing, feeling that his own guess was ridiculous.
How could the princess appear on the street alone?
So he smiled and changed his words: "Of course I was just joking..."
Just as he was halfway through his words, Cen Jinzhao's cold voice rang out from the other side: "Yes."
