Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world
Chapter 41 Princess (40)
As soon as Yan Qing and others entered the territory of Xuzhou, they saw the officials from the Xuzhou prefecture government office rushing over and standing respectfully by to greet them.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Yan Qing came out of the carriage. She lowered her eyes and glanced at the person who saluted. Her eyes flickered slightly and she said, "No need to be polite."
When they came, they did not deliberately go to the Xuzhou government office to report, but the Xuzhou prefect knew they were coming at the first time. I'm afraid that after hearing the decree from the court, he had people keeping an eye on them.
Yan Qing and Liang Tao next to him looked at each other. Obviously, they had both thought of this. Xu Zhou was really unexpected.
Fan Qiao, who was among the guards, was shocked when he saw this scene. Although he had long guessed that Yan Qing and his group were not simple people, he never expected that it was actually the Princess Imperial Princess.
Then he was overjoyed. The name of the imperial princess was well-known. If it was really that person, his sister would be saved.
When he heard that the court would send other officials over, he was worried that the officials from the court who came to supervise would protect each other and the governor of Xuzhou.
Now he is not worried anymore, and he also recalled the conversation between him and Yan Qing since they met. Her Highness the Princess should also have doubts about the Governor of Xuzhou.
With a thousand thoughts in his mind, Fan Qiao quickly cleared the shocked look on his face and revealed the same solemn expression as the guards beside him. He absolutely could not hold Her Royal Highness the Princess back.
Oh, right.
Now that he thought about it, these guards probably came from the army and were not just simple guards. No wonder he felt they were extraordinary.
The governor of Xuzhou had already stood up. He was over forty years old and not fat. He had a pair of eyes that were shrewd and inquiring, but his smile was very kind.
"I am Guangyuanwei, the governor of Xuzhou. I once served in the capital. I wonder if Your Highness still remembers me."
Yan Qing suppressed the coldness in her eyes and said with a smile: "It has only been five years since the governor of Guang left the capital. I naturally remember it."
Seeing that Yan Qing's attitude was normal, Guang Yuanwei also smiled. He stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Your Highness must have been exhausted from the journey. I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet. Please move over."
Yan Qing stopped in his tracks. Could it be that this man had been the governor of Xuzhou for so long that he had forgotten the rules of the capital? He was preparing a banquet at this critical moment. Did he sincerely want to punish him?
But this man was not like this before in the capital, or is he testing something?
Yan Qing's heart was moved slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared. He asked in a cold voice: "The flood has not receded yet, and the refugees have not been settled yet, but the governor of Guang still has the leisure to prepare a banquet."
Guangyuanwei's smile froze, and he immediately knelt down, sincerely apologizing, "It is my fault for not thinking carefully, Your Highness, please forgive me."
Yan Qing's eyes were always on his face, and he naturally noticed that Guang Yuanwei had quietly relaxed a little after he was held accountable. His fear and trepidation were only on the surface.
Yan Qing lowered his eyes, as if he didn't notice. The coldness in his words was slightly diluted by his good attitude of admitting his mistakes.
"Since the Guang Taishou has admitted his mistake, please stand up and don't make the same mistake again next time. I am here on the emperor's orders, so we should keep things simple and cancel the banquet."
Guang Yuanwei wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will ask them to prepare it right away. Your Highness, please come this way."
Yan Qing nodded slightly, and this time did not refuse. He followed Guang Yuanwei's footsteps to a mansion.
When he was about to step into the door, Yan Qing set his eyes on the official of Xuzhou government office behind Guang Yuanwei.
"Everyone, please go back first. You don't need to accompany me. If you have time, please sort out the documents. I will send someone to the government office tomorrow to hand over to you."
Guangyuan bowed his head and said hurriedly to the officials behind him who were as quiet as quails: "Yes, I will take my leave."
After he finished speaking, they all stood aside with their heads down, and did not disperse in groups of two or three until Yan Qing and the others entered the mansion.
When Yan Qing entered, all the dishes had been served. They were all standard and there was nothing wrong with them.
Yan Qing looked at the dishes in front of her with a dimmed light in her eyes. She had just said to keep everything simple, but everything was arranged in just a few words. If Guang Yuanwei had not given instructions in advance, how could it be done so quickly.
Not only that, after Yan Qing sat down, she found that the cup was not filled with wine but tea. She paused for a moment, but a smile reappeared on her face as she said, "Guang Taishou is thoughtful. Sit down and eat together."
Seeing this, Guangyuan naturally thought that it was the use of tea instead of wine that made Yan Qing in a good mood, and it was worth all his efforts.
However, he looked flattered and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the seat."
Yan Qing just smiled and said nothing more.
Guangyuan felt a little awkward sitting there, and tried to test Yan Qing's attitude several times, but Yan Qing seemed to be a man who didn't talk when eating or sleeping, so he gave up.
He planned to wait until Yan Qing had enough food and drink before slowly inquiring about it, but Yan Qing did not give him this opportunity. After eating a little, a look of fatigue appeared on her face, and she winked at Liang Tao.
Liang Tao, who was standing quietly beside him, immediately understood and said, "Your Highness has had a bumpy journey, so it's better for you to rest early."
Hearing this, Guangyuan stood up and only then noticed Liang Tao, but he obviously did not recognize Liang Tao's identity as the commander of the imperial guards and only thought of him as an ordinary guard beside Yan Qing.
But this is not surprising. When Guang Yuanwei was still working in the capital, Liang Tao had been stationed at the border. He only returned to the capital in the past two years, and the two had never met.
So Liang Tao did not reveal his identity, but went along with it and just pretended to be a taciturn guard in front of Guang Yuanwei.
Therefore, Guang Yuanwei did not pay much attention to him, but said to Yan Qing with an apologetic look: "I am sorry for bothering you, Your Highness, please have a good rest. I still have official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Yan Qing put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "No problem, official business is more important, please do as you please, Governor Guang."
Guang Yuanwei left only after getting permission. Yan Qing had an inexplicable look on his face after this man left.
"What does Uncle Liang think?"
Liang Tao also stared at the direction Guang Yuanwei left and frowned, saying, "Except for the mistake he made accidentally at the beginning, there are no flaws in the rest."
The mistake Liang Tao was referring to was the banquet that Guangyuan prepared for them at the beginning.
Yan Qing lowered her eyes and smiled lightly. She sighed and said, "Uncle Liang, think about it carefully. Was the mistake you made at the beginning really an accident?"
Liang Tao was slightly stunned, and carefully recalled what Guang Yuan had done after meeting him. Everything he said and did was flawless, so it seemed that the little mistake immediately seemed unreasonable.
"He revealed it to His Highness on purpose? But why?"
Yan Qing pressed her temples. She was not acting when she looked tired. The road was bumpy and she was indeed a little exhausted.
"It's just a test. Guang Yuanwei has worked in the capital before, so he has some understanding of my style. If it were normal, I would definitely get angry when I encountered this situation."
"If I hadn't reacted when I heard what happened next, he would have known that we were on guard against him, or that we knew something, and he would have been extremely vigilant in the future."
"And if I get angry, the banquet incident can be a minor or serious matter, but at this juncture, we are new here, so we can't do anything to him. We can only let it go."
Hearing this, Liang Tao suddenly realized something. He also remembered that Guang Yuanwei knew where he and his group were as soon as they entered Xuzhou. He said coldly, "There really is something fishy going on in Xuzhou. I'm afraid there are spies everywhere."
Yan Qing nodded and said, "We can't take it lightly. I will send secret guards to investigate tonight."
Liang Tao lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, I can..."
Yan Qing raised his hand to interrupt, "Although he doesn't know Uncle Liang's identity, the imperial guards who came with me today are all exposed to him. Uncle Liang, you should not move. Let my people go. Besides, I also need Uncle Liang's protection, right?"
Liang Tao had been frowning when he heard this. He had ways to avoid alerting others, but when he heard Yan Qing's last sentence, he smiled and did not bother with the secret guard. Protecting the young lady's safety was most important. The young lady still trusted them more.
