After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Seeing Cui Yongwei enter the Ningguo Mansion, a man who had put his load down and was resting at the entrance of the alley withdrew his gaze, picked up the load, turned around and left.

Half an hour later.

The eldest princess's mansion.

After hearing Fang Ting's report, Qin Yaoguang nodded and said, "Let me think about it."

She met with an accident on the way back to Beijing. Afterwards, Yan Changqing sent someone to see her and handed over a team of people who were good at gathering intelligence to her.

It’s really timely relief.

The main task of the Qingyi Guards is to protect her. If they want to mingle in the streets of Beijing to gather information, these people come at the right time.

Due to her status, Qin Yaoguang made them all subordinates of Fang Ting.

Fang Ting is Yan Shouzhuo's master, so his entry and exit of the inner house would not arouse suspicion.

She deliberately distanced herself from the Cui family and made friends with the Xie family, just to see how the Cui family would react.

Sure enough, the Cui family could no longer sit still.

Everything about Duke Ningguo was too abnormal.

Even if he secretly supported Prince Ruyang, he didn't have to take action against her, his own granddaughter, let alone fall out with the Queen Mother.

He also forced his old wife to death and forced his eldest daughter-in-law to ask for divorce.

What is he planning?

There must be some darker secrets behind this.

Cui Yongwei is the nephew of Duke Ningguo. He ranks among the Nine Ministers in the court, but he is very low-key.

Perhaps in order to avoid suspicion, although he held a lucrative position, his food, clothing and living expenses were no different from those of ordinary officials, and even his home was very quiet.

Apart from his first wife, he had only two insignificant concubines and no illegitimate children.

Moreover, as a member of the Cui family, he never obstructed Xie Shu's administration.

Every year, as long as Xie Shu asks for it, the treasury budget will be considered first, considering Xie Shu’s needs.

Such a person has a good reputation as an official and a clean family tradition.

He happened to appear at the Cui family at this time.

Otherwise, if he had people keeping an eye on the Ningguo Mansion, he might not have discovered it.

Qin Yaoguang had a plan in mind, and ordered: "Add more people to keep an eye on Cui Yongwei. Report every day who he has met and where he has been."

"Yes!"

Fang Ting clasped his fists and responded: "Your Highness, do you doubt it?"

Could it be that Your Highness suspects that the person who assassinated her was from the Cui family?

Is the Cui family crazy?!

Seeing the doubt in Fang Ting's eyes, Qin Yaoguang said, "Master Fang, don't panic. I only want the truth."

What she meant was that no matter who was behind this, she would not let him off.

Yue Lu’s death, Qing Bai’s injury, and so many innocent lives, she must make the other party pay the price in blood!

Moreover, the Queen Mother knew everything she did.

Since the Queen Mother did not stop her, it meant that she acquiesced to her actions.

The next day, the lights came on.

Qin Yaoguang displayed all the ceremonial equipment of a princess, and the group headed towards the West Market.

The crowded and busy West Market is bustling with activity.

As soon as the eldest princess's magnificent carriage appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.

"Is it the eldest princess? Look, even the wheels are inlaid with gold."

"Of course, of course. I heard that Wanminlou's business is so good now because it has relied on the support of the princess."

"Wow, look, mother, even the tassels are made of gold thread!"

The entrance to West Market was crowded with people watching the fun.

After Wan Yuchai's vigorous promotion, Princess Leyang's reputation among the people has changed a lot.

The carriage slowly stopped, the curtain opened, and a maid with picturesque features and outstanding temperament came out.

Everyone exclaimed "Wow!" Guyu was neither annoyed nor embarrassed. He got off the car and turned around calmly.

The curtain of the car opened again, and a white arm as white as snow appeared in everyone's sight.

Just by looking at this hand, one can imagine the beauty of its owner.

The people held their breath, fearing that they would disturb the honorable princess.

Qin Yaoguang was wearing a hat made of gauze veil, her beautiful face was faintly visible through the gauze, and her figure was like an immortal.

She held Guyu's hand and got out of the car, greeting the people openly.

"Greetings to the eldest princess."

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

She was not arrogant, and people came to greet her one after another, creating a lively atmosphere.

Wan Yu Chai stepped forward and greeted him: "Your Highness, I have prepared a banquet."

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly and followed him to the top floor of Wanmin Building.

As she walked, her eyes reached beyond the hustle and bustle.

On both sides of the street, in corners where lights could not reach, many ragged victims were huddled in groups of three or four.

They came here to escape the war and made a living by begging in the capital.

No matter how lively it is, it has nothing to do with them.

More than half a month has passed since the hailstorm, and the number of refugees in the capital has continued to increase.

She whispered a few words, then followed her snow guest out of the group and headed towards the victims.

Wanmin Building, top floor.

The snow had all melted, the windows used for viewing the view were closed, and thick curtains were lowered to keep the cold out.

Several pots of red burning charcoal made the hall as warm as spring.

Xie Rujin had been waiting here for a long time.

Although it was the eldest princess hosting a banquet, for both public and private reasons, there was no reason for him to let Qin Yaoguang wait.

Therefore, he arrived two quarters of an hour earlier than the time on the post.

Hearing the sound of rings and pendants outside the door, Xie Rujin stood up and waited. When he saw Qin Yaoguang appear, he knelt down and bowed.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Qin Yaoguang took two quick steps, holding his hands up: "Mr. Xie, please get up quickly. No need to be polite."

It was a courtesy for Xie Rujin to meet her, but he was her savior.

Xie Rujin stood up, not daring to look at her any longer, and they both sat down at their tables one after another.

The eldest princess hosted a banquet, and Wan Yuchai put all his effort into preparing a table full of his signature dishes, which were all delicious and tasty.

The Spring Equinox came in advance and specifically instructed that the wine to be prepared was the mellow, sweet and smooth Fenjiu.

Qingbai picked up the green jade wine glass and stood straight.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir. I am so grateful!"

After that, she drank the wine in the glass and revealed the bottom of the glass.

She was bold and straightforward. Xie Rujin traveled frequently and was not the shy person, so he drank the wine in one gulp.

Putting down the wine glass, he smiled and said, "It was the eldest princess who saved your life, not me."

After all, Qin Yaoguang still owed him a big favor.

Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly: "My lord, you are right. Today's banquet is a small matter, and I want to discuss it with you. How do you want to ask for this favor?"

Xie Ru remembered his father's instructions carefully: "Your Highness is wrong. In the situation that day, no matter who saw it, they would lend a hand. I was just a coincidence."

He put aside the inappropriate thoughts in his heart and worked hard to seek benefits for his family.

Although the imperial power is declining nowadays, how can the eldest princess' favor be used casually?

Qin Yaoguang had long expected that the Xie family would not let her repay the favor easily, so she was not surprised.

She changed the subject and mentioned another matter.

"Master Xie, do you know why the grain from Hanjia Granary has not arrived yet?"

Xie Rujin's heart shuddered.

No matter how ignorant he was of state affairs, he knew about this matter.

Hail and snow disasters hit important areas of the capital one after another, which not only affected the reputation of the imperial court, but also the stability of the capital.

The price of grain in the market has skyrocketed, and people are just waiting for the government warehouses to release grain to stabilize prices.

The person mainly responsible for this matter was his father Xie Shu.
