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

"General Huyan, when will the prince consort return to the capital?"

Qin Yaoguang simply asked directly.

Hu Yanjin was stunned, scratched his face and said, "This, this... When I left, the general was about to set off. It took me half a month to get from the border to the capital. The general's ceremonial procession was slow, so it is possible that it took one or two months."

He was used to calling him "General", and only when he was delivering messages did he remember to use the honorific "Prince Consort".

Wow, from fifteen days to one or two months, the time is flexible enough.

Qin Yaoguang pretended to be angry and said, "Why, I respect you as a general, but you can't even know the exact itinerary of the prince consort? What's the use of you reporting the news?"

Oops, the princess seems angry.

It turns out that you have a bad temper, right?

However, Hu Yanjin would be angry if he were in her shoes. If his wife had been gone for ten years and he finally got news but couldn't tell how long it would take for her to return home, he would be angry too.

But the general was also helpless. The capital city was full of dangers and dangers. How could he not show up if he was not prepared?

"Your Highness, please allow me to report. The general and his troops are bound to move slowly, and there are also state governments along the way to receive them. I really don't know..." Hu Yanjin explained.

But Qin Yaoguang didn't let him finish his words. He showed an impatient look and said, "Alright! I get it. I've waited for ten years. I don't mind waiting for another month or two."

She portrayed the image of a resentful woman in the boudoir perfectly.

How could Huyan Jin say anything about their marital affairs? He thought: Our great general is indeed a man who can do great things. How could he have the heart to abandon such a beautiful and distinguished lady in the capital for ten years!

The princess was resentful, and the general had no choice but to accept it.

"Anything else?" Qin Yaoguang asked when she saw that he did not leave.

Hu Yanjin said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I saw a steward in Zhufeng Courtyard cheating his superiors and hiding the truth from his subordinates by passing off inferior goods as good ones. I am afraid that the princess has been kept in the dark, so I want to be a witness."

He did not mention a word about Zeng Xia not taking the master of Zhufeng Court seriously, and focused on "passing inferior goods off as good ones".

When Bai Lu heard this, she looked at him in surprise and thought: It turns out that he is not as rough as he looks.

You know, it is the most difficult to have real evidence for a slave bullying his master. There is nothing more than witnesses, and the crime can be serious or minor, depending on the master's wishes. But "passing inferior goods as good ones" is different. The evidence is there, and you can see it clearly at a glance.

Hu Yanjin would not leave, of course, in order to support the children and severely punish Zeng Xia.

But he couldn't say it openly, so he pretended to be a witness.

Qin Yaoguang thought: These ancient people were all smart people. Even this fierce Zhang Fei did not let down at the critical moment.

But that's just right.

With Hu Yanjin, Yan Changqing's trusted family general, as a witness, she was not afraid of any unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Someone, go and bring Steward Wang, Zeng Xia, and Zhou Qinghe here."

Qin Yaoguang gave the order with a gloomy face.

Now that we are here, we might as well take it all in one go.

Hu Yanjin stood to the left, avoiding Qin Yaoguang's attack.

Waiting for someone is the most boring time. Moreover, he had to share a room with the eldest princess. Hu Yanjin felt so uneasy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, let alone how to make friends with the general's wife.

If it was a girl from an ordinary family, it would be fine, just chatting about the customs and practices of the border. But this girl was a princess, and the general had betrayed her first, so anything she said would be offensive.

Qin Yaoguang glanced at him, taking his embarrassment into account, and said, "General, please take a seat. Bring me some tea."

While Hu Yanjin was waiting in Mingguang Hall, the servants served him fruits, snacks and tea. After hearing the instructions, they asked him to return to his original seat, served him a cup of freshly brewed Hengshan tea, and removed the previous cup.

In this way, Huyan Jin finally felt less awkward and picked up the teacup to drink it slowly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Steward Wang and Zeng Xia were escorted into the Mingguang Hall, followed closely by Zhou Qinghe. Xiao was separated from the others in the outer room, looking in anxiously.

"Your Highness, Your Highness Princess!"

Xiao raised her voice and said, "Xiao He is still sick. There must be some misunderstanding! My dear sister, please let me in. I am afraid that she is just a child and cannot explain clearly."

She was obviously very scared, and her usually soft voice sounded a little sharp at this moment.

It was true that the eldest princess summoned Zhou Qinghe, but before that, she had always been the one to accompany her daughter, and there was never any reason for her to separate the two.

"Noisy!"

A trace of impatience flashed across Qin Yaoguang's brows and she glanced at Nanny Deng.

Madam Deng understood her intentions best, and immediately stepped out from the crowd, went to the outer room, looked at Xiao who was stopped, and said: "His Highness has not summoned you, Madam Zhou, if you have nothing to do, you can wait here. If you want to make a noise again, please go back to Chuntang Garden!"

When Xiao heard this, she immediately said timidly, "Mammy, is the princess in a bad mood today?"

Although she was a widow who had given birth to a daughter, she had always maintained a very good figure and dressed simply, which made her look quite pitiful.

However, her behavior at this moment was destined to be seen by the blind.

Madam Deng glanced at her coldly and said, "I would like to advise Madam Zhou not to ask too much about His Highness' affairs."

After saying that, she turned and went back inside.

Xiao bit her lip, not daring to shout anymore. She walked to the nearest place and listened carefully to the movement inside.

Inside the room, Zhou Qinghe said crisply, "My Lady Princess, Qinghe would never dare to lie to you. I saw that Dazhu was being beaten so pitifully, so I took things from the house for him to play with."

Qin Yaoguang sipped the osmanthus tea slowly, indicating that she did not believe a word of it, and winked at Bai Lu.

Edit, keep editing.

Bai Lu took a half step forward and asked, "What did you take?"

It wasn't a one- or two-day thing for Zhou Qinghe to sell the things in the house through Wang Guanshi for profit. She didn't know what specific handle Qin Yaoguang had caught her with, so she could only use the general word "thing" to summarize it.

Bai Lu didn't fall for her trick and asked directly "which things", meaning that the princess knew more than one thing.

Zhou Qinghe rolled her eyes and said, "They are all worthless little things. Qinghe can't remember them clearly."

She looked at Steward Wang timidly and said, "Uncle Steward, please don't beat Dazhu anymore. He's already very pitiful without his mother."

With just a few words, she cleared herself of all blame and even gained a good reputation for herself.

Qin Yaoguang almost wanted to applaud her.

Unfortunately, she's not the only one with a mouth.

Qin Yaoguang asked the strong woman to take out the coarse cloth stuffed in Manager Wang's mouth, and signaled Guyu to place the jade cup upright between the two of them.

"A worthless trinket?"

Qin Yaoguang asked sarcastically, "You call the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the emperor a worthless trifle? I feel sorry for you orphans and widows, so I gave it to you to play with for a few days."

"I never thought you would be so bold! You dare to sell things in the palace!"

Seeing Zhou Qinghe's face suddenly turn pale with horror, Qin Yaoguang thought to himself: Keep going, keep quibbling, don't stop!

Show me your ability as a heroine!
