After exile, I counterattacked with the farm space

Chapter 43 Invitation

When Wen Liyu saw that Chen Ergang and several officials surrounded him, she immediately protected her luggage. It was full of clothes and jewelry brought out from the palace, and the most important thing was that there were a lot of close-fitting clothes.

"What's the meaning of the officer? This bag is light, and my daughter's family can hold anything that shouldn't be. There are so many personal items for no reason. How can you big men look at it so easily?"

Cheng Weiyao took a step forward and stood in front of Wen Liyu, like a hen protecting its cubs, while the imperial concubine sat quietly with Wen Chengming, with faint admiration in her eyes.

In fact, she was a little envious of Cheng Weiyao's aggressiveness. Ayu, a young girl waiting to be married, was really not suitable for being checked in public.

"Tell you to take it out, why so much nonsense?"

"What's so shameful, you have to cover it up, the brothers have to watch it today!"

The officials Chen Er and Li Kui exchanged winks, and they planned to do a hard search because of their positions. Anyway, searching is also one of the duties of the officials.

The officials in the county government office who were in charge of distributing pass certificates watched with cold eyes. They had no right to control the deportation team, and they heard that thanks to the Qingping Palace, half a block of confessions was missing yesterday. It hurts to think about that loss...

"Using the public to seek personal gain? The officials and adults said, why should they only target me at the Qingping Palace? Do you really think we are easy to bully? If there is any contraband found in this search, then it's fine. If nothing is found, we can't suffer for nothing..."

Cheng Weiyao snorted coldly, the wishful thinking of the officials was almost written on his face, especially Chen Er's greedy eyes had been wandering endlessly since he appeared.

Chen Er's brows were tightly frowned, Cheng Weiyao's eloquence was clearly out of his calculations, since he was hired as an errand, he searched whenever he wanted, no need for any reason...

Just when he was hesitating whether to take advantage of the crowd to search forcibly, a clear female voice broke the stalemate.

"Can the imperial concubine rest in this inn?"

Cheng Weiyao raised her eyes and looked around. The person who came was combing the double buns commonly used by maids, but she was wearing soft silk clothes, lightly painted with rouge and gouache. It seemed that the owner's house was either rich or expensive.

When the imperial concubine heard that she was called by name, she stood up with some doubts and looked at the appearance of the visitor.

This girl is about the same age as Ayu, so I probably don't know her. Even though she did have a few close friends before she got married, and they got married and had children, I haven't heard that they are as far away as married...

"Hey, isn't this Miss Xiaotao next to Princess Jian'an? What brought you here? What orders does Princess Princess have, I'll do it right away..."

The few yamen servants who had a very low sense of existence just now became active in an instant, nodding and bowing around Xiaotao, just like a few pugs wagging their tails and begging for mercy.

"Go, go, what's the matter with you..." Xiaotao frowned and drove the servants away. After scanning around, she went straight to the imperial concubine, bowed and saluted, with a very respectful manner.

"Imperial concubine, my princess invites you to come to the mansion for a short talk, can you give me the honor to go with my servant?"

"Miss Xiaotao, you're being polite. I'm being punished now. I'm still a noble concubine...I don't seem to know your princess, do I?"

The imperial concubine was confused by this posture. She didn't remember any dealings with the princess of Jian'an. In the palace, she had always lived in seclusion, and there were only a few people she knew.

Cheng Weiyao saw a good chance to escape from this little peach girl. With such a respectful attitude, even if it is not a good friend, at least it will not be an enemy. A walk can just avoid the exploitation of the officials, why? Why not do it for fun?

"Mother, since the Princess Jian'an has sent a servant girl to invite her, we shouldn't be insulting her, so why don't we go?"

Cheng Weiyao gently tugged on the sleeve of the imperial concubine, and softly comforted her.

"Then Miss Lao Xiaotao will lead the way..."

Although the imperial concubine didn't know what Cheng Weiyao was planning, she was always a smart woman with ideas, and she would never suffer from listening to her, so she immediately nodded happily.

"That little peach girl, right? Our exiles are in a hurry to hurry, and it's probably inappropriate for your master to take her away rashly!"

When Chen Er saw this posture, he became impatient. The officials couldn't see the duck flying away, so they immediately stepped forward and blocked Xiao Tao's way.

"Hurry up and don't be in a hurry. Now that the imperial concubine's family has arrived in the county, they are the honored guests of our princess. How can you allow you to be presumptuous here!"

Xiaotao's pretty face turned cold, she was clearly angry, she heard these officials making things difficult for the Qingping Prince's Mansion before she entered the inn just now, and now she still wants to meddle in the Princess's business?

"In my opinion, you slave is so bold! You dare to interfere with the matter of my princess, and your leader didn't say a word. What kind of watchdog are you here!"

This girl Xiaotao has such a quick mouth... Cheng Weiyao was secretly startled, such a clever maid, this princess of Jian'an is probably not an ordinary person.

After hearing Xiaotao's words, several officials turned around, and they saw Wang Gang standing on the stairs on the second floor with a calm face, and they all called out big brother aggrievedly.

"Miss Xiaotao is right."

Wang Gang let it go succinctly, and passed by with one eye closed. He didn't intend to offend the local dignitaries, but he just delayed the departure time.

And Xiaotao led all the female relatives of Prince Qingping's mansion through the courtyard, Wen Chengyun, a big man, took Wen Chengming and was sent to the front hall to entertain, and the backyard was where the female relatives drank tea and talked about themselves.

Along the way, the rockery and flowing water in the courtyard are patchwork. Cheng Weiyao is in a good mood admiring the style of ancient buildings, while the imperial concubine is frowning deeply, obviously she has no impression of this Jian'an princess.

"Mother, are you still thinking about the princess? If you come here, you will be at ease. Maybe it was when you helped her, but you don't remember?"

Walking in the elegant courtyard, Wen Liyu's back straightened unknowingly, and the nobility of a royal princess came out again.

Mother has always been kind to others in the palace, what she said is entirely possible, and as a princess she is a class higher than the princess, she cannot lose face.

Just after turning around the corridor, she saw a slender figure sitting on the small building in the middle of the lake. She saw the people in Prince Qingping's Mansion first, and quickly walked up to her, holding the imperial concubine's hand with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, it's been so many years, how are you doing?"
