Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 153 Qi Liusheng

When he walked out of the mansion, he saw a middle-aged general in armor setting up defenses. Yiman took another look.

"See Princess."

Yiman nodded and walked out of the house.

"Princess, that is the commander of the [-] Imperial Guards of the Yulin Army. He is specifically responsible for the security of the Princess Mansion."

Yiman got on the carriage and said, "I've seen him before."

When he came to visit that day, she was handling business, but she only glanced at her briefly and asked him to leave.

Now that I think of him being responsible for the future security of the Princess Mansion, I have to think more about it.

It would be bad if it was the emperor or someone else's spy. The mansion here would have to be turned into an iron wall.

"Princess, where are we going?"

Seeing that Song Guo was very interested, Yi Man said with a smile: "Go to the teahouse and find a private room. I heard that there are two excellent storytellers in the capital."

After hearing the order, the driver took a few lightly dressed people to a teahouse.

"We have a visitor——"

Yiman put on a veil and waited for Song Guo to go down and give orders, then led Ji Lan directly to the private room on the second floor.

On the stairs, I saw a storyteller foaming at the mouth. The storyteller looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was wearing an old blue-gray clothes that had turned white from the washing.

"Princess Feiqing is arriving at the academy at this time."

As soon as Man sat down and took a sip of tea, Song Guo quickly picked up a prune and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Girl, listen, people are talking about you outside."

Just as the waiter came in to refill the tea, Yiman glanced at Song Guo, who immediately stopped talking and took out a piece of broken silver and placed it in front of the waiter.

"Hey, thanks for the reward, young master."

Yiman nodded with a smile, "What are you talking about next?"

The waiter shook the rag enthusiastically, with a smile on his face, "We are talking about the time when the eldest princess went to Qingcai Academy. The young lady has not been here for a long time. It has been a long time."

Yiman glanced downstairs with confusion in his eyes, "What's there to say in that paragraph?"

"Hey, don't you know? It didn't take long for the imperial court to come up with the new policy." As he said that, the waiter suddenly lowered his voice, "The Jinshi scholars in the Qingcai Academy all said that the new policy was promoted by the eldest princess, so it was written down in this book. , preaching the eldest princess’ kindness everywhere.”

He said to himself with a faint smile, "Benevolence?"

"Sir, please take it easy, the little one is going down."

Yiman turned his head and looked downstairs. The storyteller in his early twenties downstairs was frothing at the mouth, as if all the scenes were happening live.

Suddenly, three or five rough guys rushed into the teahouse downstairs and headed straight for the storyteller.

The storyteller looked horrified, his eyes darting around, and when he saw the shopkeeper standing up from behind the counter, he hid behind him.

"Help me—"

"A few good men, good men, wait a moment——"

There were many people who came to listen to the book today, and when they encountered those who came to cause trouble, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Hurry and report to the officer——"

"You are not allowed to move, Mr. Qi, if you don't pay back the money today, I will destroy your business."

The leading man roared, and the scene suddenly became quiet. The storyteller named Qi huddled behind the shopkeeper with only his hair exposed, and his figure became increasingly thin and trembling.

"Shopkeeper, help me -"

The shopkeeper of this teahouse doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the storyteller named Qi is indeed a good hand. Every time he tells stories, the turnover in the shop can double.

"Master, what happened to Xiao Qi?"

The reckless man sneered, "Can you make the decision for him?"

The shopkeeper cupped his hands and looked embarrassed, "Look, look, I just know him, and I will help if I can."

When the man heard this, he became angry and pushed the shopkeeper violently.Then, like a chicken, he grabbed the storyteller by the collar and said, "I can't help you, Qi. If you don't pay back the 100 taels today, I will sell you to the sea." The Qi guy The storyteller's face turned red immediately, and his hands and feet kept struggling, "Help - help -"

Yi Man was sitting in the private room on the second floor, holding his chin, after watching the commotion below, glanced at Ji Lan, and stretched out his hand.

Ji Lan hesitated for a moment and put a banknote in Yiman's hand.

He picked up the banknote with two fingers and threw it down on the second floor.The fluttering silver note slowly fell to the man's feet.

The area around the rude man had long been empty. Now that a piece of paper fell, it naturally stood out.

The eyes of the person being arrested and the person being arrested instantly focused on the banknote. Yiman leaned behind the window and lowered his voice, "It's only 100 taels, so there's no need to push him too hard. I'll pay it back for him. Just leave the debt note." .”

The rude man hesitantly picked up the bank note on the ground, took a look at it, and slowly loosened the storyteller's collar.He glanced towards the second floor and knew that this boy had met a noble person today. He snorted coldly and pushed the storyteller away violently, "You kid, please be more careful and leave."

After saying that, he walked out of the teahouse with his men.

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the waiter to clean up and greet the guests.

Song Guo ate snacks and watched the farce below, and wondered: "Princess, why did you help that boy and lose 100 taels in vain?"

Yiman smiled slightly and said, "The money for sealing households in Jindu has been collected, and Lu Bo has also opened many shops in the mansion. Now, our mansion does not need to be constrained by money."

Seeing Song Guo, he was still puzzled. Yiman continued: "For us, it is just a casual favor, but for the storyteller, it is a matter of life and death. Today I am giving a casual favor, maybe he will be able to pay attention to the details in the future. Helping us is nothing more than loose money."

Song Guo nodded in understanding.

Yiman took a sip of tea, and his eloquence was really fascinating. Although she didn't know whether it was Jiang Lu or the emperor's brother who was helping her spread her reputation, the role of a storyteller was indispensable.

If he was injured or sold today, wouldn't there be one less general to spread her reputation of virtue?

Suddenly there was a knock on the door in the elegant room. Song Guo glanced at Man Man and said loudly: "Come in."

Then the storyteller surnamed Qi walked in, rubbing his neck, bending his waist, cupping his hands, and saluted diligently, "Thank you very much, young lady, for saving my life."

Yi Manyan glanced at him with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't come up to thank me."

The storyteller seemed to suddenly become active, and the smile on his face changed into the hearty smile of a young man, "The girl just saw me, I really understand me. It was the teahouse owner who asked me to come down to express my gratitude."

Seeing that he looked good, he took another look and said, "If the shopkeeper doesn't let you come to thank me, are you going to be ungrateful?"

The storyteller shook his sleeves and straightened up. He had the temperament of a scholar, "The girl is really right. In my opinion, the girl's kindness is voluntary and not under coercion, so it is the girl's business to give kindness." , has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, the storyteller glanced sideways at the two people behind Yiman.

Seeing his gaze, she lowered her eyes and smiled. He couldn't see in front of her and said these words deliberately to anger Song Guo and Ji Lan.

If she were an ordinary little girl, she would definitely speak out at this moment to defend her master.Whenever she opens her mouth, she will show some sense of superiority. This storyteller is trying to find out her identity.

But Song Guo looks playful and impulsive, but she has also been honed in the palace for several years. Plus, working around Yi Man, she is no longer the little girl who would show off her body to outsiders.The role of the eldest princess's personal female officer is not something that ordinary people can do.Not to mention Ji Lan.

Seeing that the expressions of the three masters and servants were becoming more indifferent than the other, they were so indifferent that they felt inexplicably contemptuous of him.The storyteller cleared his throat, feeling suddenly embarrassed.

Yiman looked down at the tea guest who was waiting for the storyteller to continue, "I think what you said makes sense, but my 100 taels can't be wasted, so I'll buy it in your name."

Hearing that the bottleneck was broken in the private room, the storyteller felt a little more relaxed all over his body, and immediately narrowed his eyes with laughter, "Young lady is so generous, I call you Qi Liu Ming."

Yiman responded, waved his hand, and motioned for him to go out.

Qi Liuming smiled, cupped his hands, and retreated.Not long after, the sound of storytellers sounded increasingly excited in the lobby.

Song Guo pouted and glanced at the lobby where nothing happened. "Princess, this person is so shameless."

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "He's right. If it were me, I wouldn't feel like I owe others anything. It's their own free will."

"Slave, I think this name seems to have been made up casually."

It's just a code name, the important thing is that today left a deep impression on Qi Liuming's heart, and the purpose of giving favors has been achieved.

There was another knock on the door outside, and Song Guo asked, "Who is -"

"It's a slave——"

Upon hearing Xiao Shenzi's voice, Song Guo opened the door.

Xiao Shenzi was sweating on his head, "Princess, something happened in the palace."
