Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince
Chapter 42 These two old men are really interesting
It was the maid Xin'er who smelled the odor. Seeing the flames in the house, she immediately shouted repeatedly: "Empress Dowager! There's a fire! There's a fire..."
Queen Mother Yu finally saw someone who could perform such a good punch. She was a little impatient when she was interrupted by her: "What water, isn't this practice good?"
Shangguan Zimeng also noticed the fire in the house at this time, pointed at the room and shouted hurriedly: "Mother! There is a fire! Put out the fire quickly..."
Empress Dowager Yu followed the direction Shangguan Zimeng pointed and realized that there was indeed a fire. After all, she had been on the battlefield before, so she remained very calm.
"So that's what you're talking about. The fire isn't that big, why rush? Can't we just get a few people to bring a few buckets of water to put it out?"
The people in the palace became busy, carrying buckets of water to put out the fire. Fortunately, the fire was not big, and it was completely extinguished in less than a cup of tea.
Shangguan Zimeng thought that the warm current just now should be the internal force in the original body. This fire must be related to herself, so she walked towards Queen Mother Yu with a look of self-blame on her face.
"Mother, it's my fault."
Queen Mother Yu not only did not blame her, but she kept praising her.
"Good boy, it's okay, don't take it to heart, it's just half a house, isn't it? My son has plenty of money, let him repair it. Your kicking skills are really good, mother likes it very much."
"Mother, you are so kind. Hug me."
Shangguan Zimeng was almost moved to tears. Fire was a taboo in ancient times, but she didn't expect her mother to not mind at all. It was really great.
But then I thought, if Yan Kaiyu knew that I burned down the house where I slept, he would definitely not let me go. I should go and hide with Min Ran first.
"Mother, I want to sleep at Min Ran's place tonight, is that ok?"
Queen Mother Yu readily agreed: "Of course."
"Then mother, I will go first."
"Go."
Queen Mother Yu looked at her leaving figure and said to herself, "This child must be afraid that I will blame her, so she is hiding from me. I don't know if she was frightened just now. I will have to let my wooden son comfort her when he comes back."
"By the way, it's been so many days, and Yan Kaiyu is so slow in doing things. It's really outrageous. He deserves to be punished."
At this time, Yan Kaiyu used his Qinggong skills along the way and completed the three-day journey in just one day. He had already arrived in the capital and was heading towards the palace.
……
In the palace, on the way to Min Ran's residence, Shangguan Zimeng was in a very depressed mood. She really missed Yan Kaiyu. She looked up at the moon in the sky. When will this wooden man come back? I don't know if anything happened.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Zimeng slapped her lips and said, "Pah, pah, pah, he is the one being chased by God and fed. He will definitely come back alive and kicking."
Before I knew it, I arrived at a palace gate.
Suddenly hearing the sound of someone arguing, Shangguan Zimeng became curious and instantly forgot about Yan Kaiyu.
When I got closer, I saw two young eunuchs helping to hold the lamp.
Two old men with gray hair and wearing court robes were arguing with each other. Their faces were red and the argument was extremely intense.
Shangguan Zimeng resisted the urge to join them and thought to herself: Wow, in the Three Kingdoms period, there were Zhang Yide and Ma Mengqi fighting late into the night, and here there are two old guys cursing at each other late into the night.
As for the specific reason for their quarrel, you can tell a thing or two by listening to them quarreling.
It turned out that the small country in the south wanted to surrender after winning the battle. Qi Yi, the Minister of War, wanted to destroy them in one fell swoop, while Yan Ming, the Minister of Finance, wanted to rest and recuperate without fighting again.
The two old men have been arguing all the way from the emperor's side to here. The emperor must have been tired of listening to them, so he asked them to go back first and make a decision tomorrow.
Shangguan Zimeng listened to their quarrel and saw the difference between scholars. There was not a single swear word in the whole process, but they still cursed your ancestors for eighteen generations.
But after listening for a while, he felt bored, so he just wanted to watch the fun and said, "What's the point of just arguing? Just have a fight."
The two young eunuchs looked at each other and looked in the direction of the voice. They naturally knew Shangguan Zimeng. It was not surprising to hear these words coming from her. After all, she was the one who dared to beat up the daughter of the Prime Minister.
Qi Yi thought it made sense, so he asked arrogantly, "Minister Yan, do you dare?"
Yan Ming blew his beard and said, "Huh! This is immoral and disrespectful to society."
Qi Yi felt that he was being cowardly, and sneered, "I don't think you dare!"
This made Yan Ming furious. He no longer cared about morality and civility, and punched Qi Yi with his fist.
"You took action first!"
Qi Yi showed no sign of weakness and fought back immediately.
Yan Ming dodged and said, "Nonsense, as the ancients said, if I don't hit you, I'll just stand there and let you not hit me."
"Which ancient person said such a thing?"
"Compared to later generations, I am an ancient person."
Shangguan Zimeng lived in Bengbu all her life.
He stood there blankly, watching the two old men, nearly seventy years old, fighting each other. The two young eunuchs rushed forward to pull them back, but they couldn't stop them.
Maybe the noise here was too loud and attracted Min Xian here.
Shangguan Zimeng reacted and when she saw someone who could pull them apart had arrived, she didn't need to do anything herself and just ran away.
This is called doing good deeds without leaving a name.
Because of this little episode, Shangguan Zimeng felt much better. What Yan Kaiyu said was true, the old man here was really interesting.
Shangguan Zimeng came to Min Ran's residence and told her that she had burned the house down while practicing martial arts, and wanted to stay here for one night.
Min Ran was naturally very happy to do so. She was just feeling extremely bored staying here. If she hadn't wanted to wait for Liu Xingtang to come back and see him as soon as possible, she would have returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion long ago.
The two good sisters slept in the same bed, prepared some snacks and tea, and planned to talk all night long.
On this side, Yan Kaiyu had already rushed to Shuyi Palace. Looking at the burnt house, he thought that Shangguan Zimeng had met with an accident.
I felt worried.
Queen Mother Yu saw that he had finally returned and walked over to tell him what happened today, but Yan Kaiyu spoke first with a worried look on her face.
"Mother, how could there be a fire? Is Mengmeng okay?"
Queen Mother Yu was quite satisfied with his reaction, and she also felt sorry for her future daughter-in-law, so she didn't mind that he came back so late.
He smiled and told him about Shangguan Zimeng's martial arts practice tonight, and kept praising her for her good leg skills and her ambition.
"Mother tells you, you are blessed with long legs..."
Queen Mother Yu was chattering incessantly, describing with great excitement the heroic and handsome figure of her daughter-in-law.
but
Yan Kaiyu's expression was not that happy. He was working hard outside to deal with the troubles for her, but she was constantly causing troubles in the palace.
She had flown back in a hurry to give her a surprise, but she hadn't expected that she had given him such a big surprise first.
I wonder if there will be a bigger surprise waiting for him when he meets Shangguan Zimeng later?
"Mother, please go to bed early. I will go find her."
Queen Mother Yu held him back and said, "You two haven't seen each other for a few days. You must have a lot to say and a lot to do. Alas..."
Yan Kaiyu interrupted Empress Dowager Yu before she finished speaking: "Mother, what are you doing?"
Besides burning the house, did she get into any other trouble?
She won't beat someone else again, will she?
