Chapter 147: The Infatuated Young Master
Chapter 147: The Infatuated Young Master
"One of them is looking for a chance to turn over, and the other is looking for a chance to survive. No wonder they hit it off so well." Yuan Niaoniao supported her waist with one hand, and walked with Chen Shaoyi in the imperial garden. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and her tone was a little teasing: "Yan Muyu still has a way, and he fooled them into believing it 100%."
Chen Shaoyi chuckled and replied, "That's right." A sly look flashed in his eyes. The two smiled at each other, as if they knew everything.
Just then, Yuan Xixi came running over, shouting breathlessly, "Sister, brother-in-law!" Her face was full of anxiety, as if something urgent had happened.
Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi looked at each other, a trace of doubt in their hearts. Yuan Niaoniao hurriedly went to meet her and asked with concern: "Xixi, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yuan Xixi took a breath, calmed down, and then said, "Sister, it's not good! Sister Xueyao...she..." Her voice was trembling, and fear and anxiety flashed in her eyes.
"Can you speak slower?" Yuan Niaoniao looked at Yuan Xixi, whose face was flushed with anxiety: "Look, you can hardly breathe."
"Huh." Yuan Xixi adjusted her breathing and spoke slowly: "Sister Xueyao is missing! She used to come to me every day to learn medical skills, but I don't know why. I didn't see her yesterday or today, so I went to ask Xiaopang and Zhenyuan, and they both said they didn't see Sister Xueyao! I'm afraid Sister Xueyao is out!"
"Han Junyi! Oh no." Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi looked at each other and immediately understood what Xue Yao had been doing. She must have found out Han Junyi's whereabouts and went to seek revenge on him alone.
"What should we do then?" Yuan Xixi looked at the two anxiously.
"Shaoyi, this is an urgent matter. We have to find Xueyao immediately. Xueyao might be able to deal with Han Junyi by chance, but she doesn't know that Siyu has brought the black warrior." Yuan Niaoniao also looked at Chen Shaoyi anxiously.
"I'll go!" Before Chen Shaoyi could speak, Yuan Xixi rushed to say, "I'll go save Sister Xueyao!"
"I'm going too." Gong Jiaxin's voice came from behind: "It's boring here anyway!"
"Then Xixi and Jiaxin will go together, Shaoyi, you can go too. I will wait for you to come back at home." Yuan Niaoniao nodded. With Gong Jiaxin around, there was no need to worry about Xixi.
"But..." Although it was in the palace, it was not under his nose, so Chen Shaoyi was still very worried.
"No buts! The palace is heavily guarded, Master, Grandpa, and Father are all here, who else can do anything to me, right!" Yuan Niaoniao knew what Chen Shaoyi was thinking, and said quickly. "Besides, the Black Warrior is here, and without you, I don't trust the two of them to save Xueyao by themselves."
"Okay, I'll be back soon." Chen Shaoyi nodded reluctantly. "Ming Xiao, Ming Chen, Qing Xin, if I find that the queen is missing a hair when I come back, you must all die to atone for your sins."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ming Chen and others bowed their heads and clasped their fists.
"Don't make it sound so serious. You can rest assured that Qingxin and the others are here! Go soon and come back soon. The children and I will be waiting for you." Yuan Niaoniao said with a smile.
"Okay, mani, just pack up and we'll set off in the afternoon." Chen Shaoyi nodded.
Yuan Xixi and Gong Jiaxin turned around and went back to pack their simple bags.
In the afternoon, Yuan Niaoniao stood on the high city wall and watched the three people riding away. Dongxue was about to speak to comfort them, but Yuan Niaoniao turned around excitedly and said to Dongxue, "How about we sneak out of the palace to play for a while in the afternoon while the emperor is away?"
"Ah? That's not good." Dongxue wanted to go out of the palace to play, but the queen was pregnant at the moment, and it would be bad if she went out and was bumped into by others. So she shook her head.
"Oh, Dongxue, do you look down on your queen's skills? That's it!" Yuan Niaoniao's eyes flashed with cunning: "Ming Xiao, Ming Chen, Qing Xin, do you know what to do?"
The three of them looked dismayed when they heard this. Isn't this asking them to take the punishment themselves?
"You three, stop it. Hurry up and disguise yourself. We're going to leave!" Yuan Niaoniao was the only one who looked excited. She couldn't wait to leave the palace. She was almost bored being watched by Chen Shaoyi in the palace every day! She walked towards the bedroom excitedly.
Qingxin pulled Mingxiao and Mingchen and said, "How about inviting Madam Yuan over?"
"I think we have to ask the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for help." Yuan Niaoniao suddenly whispered in the ears of the three people.
"Ah! Queen!!" The three were startled. They had no choice but to obey the Queen's orders. Then they changed their clothes and followed Yuan Niaoniao out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, Yuan Niaoniao became even more excited. She and Dongxue, one wearing men's clothes and the other wearing women's clothes, walked hand in hand on the street. They both wore human skin masks on their faces, disguising themselves as a couple.
Yuan Niaoniao looked around the street like a child, pulling Dongxue. Everything was new to her. After all, this was no longer a place she was familiar with, but a strange country - Yuan.
Yuan State was once Wu State, but since it was annexed by Dadu, everything here has changed. The architectural style on both sides of the street, people's clothing and customs are all different from Dadu. This makes Yuan Niaoniao full of freshness and curiosity about everything.
"Wow! What is that?" Yuan Niaoniao asked with shining eyes, pointing at a roadside snack stall.
"What else could it be? It's because you love candied haws the most." Dongxue replied helplessly.
"I want to eat that!" Yuan Niaoniao ran over impatiently and bought a string of candied haws. She took a bite, and the sour and sweet taste greatly satisfied her taste buds.
"It's delicious!" Yuan Niaoniao said with a happy smile.
Dongxue looked at her innocent appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
The two continued walking forward while eating candied haws. Yuan Niao Niao wanted to buy everything she saw, a small trinket, a small toy. Ming Chen and Ming Xiao were responsible for carrying these things for her, with doting smiles on their faces. Qing Xin followed them from a distance, observing the surroundings.
Suddenly, a commotion in front of them caught Yuan Niaoniao's attention. Curiously, she pulled Dongxue over to see what was going on, only to find that a vendor was arguing with a customer. Yuan Niaoniao listened for a while and roughly understood what was going on. It turned out that the customer thought the product sold by the vendor was of poor quality and asked for a refund, but the vendor refused.
"It was obviously you who broke it, how can you blame me?" the vendor yelled at the top of his voice.
"I didn't break it, it's obviously your thing that has the problem!" the customer fired back.
Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, and were even about to start fighting, Yuan Niaoniao couldn't help but step out to mediate: "Okay, okay, stop arguing! Everyone should take a step back, and harmony brings wealth." Her voice was clear and loud, like a spring breeze, easing the originally tense atmosphere a lot.
When the people around heard this, they all turned their eyes to Yuan Niaoniao. She was petite, with a pretty face, wearing a light blue dress, and looked very quiet and elegant. Her belly was slightly protruding, and she was pregnant. Her eyes were clear and bright, revealing a kind of gentleness and kindness. They all stood a little further away to make way for Yuan Niaoniao, fearing that she would feel crowded.
Yuan Niaoniao walked between the vendor and the customer and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be anxious. Let's see if this thing is broken. If it is broken, let's discuss how to solve it." Then she turned to the customer and said: "Brother, don't be angry. If it is due to quality problems, then we will ask the boss to replace it with a new one."
The vendor and the customer felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Yuan Niaoniao said. They looked at each other, then at Yuan Niaoniao, and finally decided to follow her advice. After some inspection, they found that the customer had accidentally knocked off a little mechanism, causing the item to not work properly.
Yuan Niaoniao asked Ming Xiao to come forward and help repair it, and then said to him: "Okay, it can be used now. Be careful next time." The customer looked at Yuan Niaoniao gratefully, nodded repeatedly and thanked him. Then he apologized to the vendor, saying that he was careless.
The vendor also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yuan Niaoniao, "Thank you, girl. If it weren't for you today, I don't know what would have happened." Yuan Niaoniao smiled and shook her head, saying, "You're welcome. It's just a small matter."
After everyone left, Dongxue looked at Yuan Niaoniao with a worried look on her face. She couldn't help but mutter: "My wife, don't take risks like today in the future! You are pregnant now. What if something happens to you? And if those people are not good people, what if they really start to attack you and hurt you?" As she spoke, she gently stroked Yuan Niaoniao's belly, as if she could feel the beating of the little life inside.
Yuan Niaoniao smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Besides, it's just to help people relieve their worries, and doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will bring blessings to the baby." She patted Dongxue's hand gently, indicating that she understood her concerns, but did not regret her decision.
Dongxue sighed and shook her head helplessly, "My dear, you are too kind. But sometimes, kindness also depends on the situation. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm this time. If you meet a more vicious person, the consequences will be disastrous..." She frowned and said seriously. I shouldn't have agreed to let her go out to play!
"That's right!" Ming Xiao and Ming Chen quickly echoed in a low voice from behind.
Yuan Niaoniao said helplessly, "Don't be too nervous, relax, I'm not fat yet, I still have some ability to protect myself."
Afterwards, Yuan Niaoniao took the others out for a walk and some food, which made them exhausted, but she herself felt relaxed and at ease. She still felt like she hadn't had enough fun.
"It's getting dark soon. We have to go back." Qingxin looked at the sky, then showed up and came forward to meet up with the others.
"Okay, let's stop here for today." Yuan Niaoniao shrugged helplessly.
Yuan Niaoniao was still immersed in the joy of today's outing when Lingling ran over and said, "Your Majesty, you are finally back!"
"What's wrong, Lingling?" Yuan Niaoniao reached out and touched Lingling's head: "Take Lingling with you tomorrow! It's so pitiful for the little girl to be trapped in the palace!"
"Ah! Really? That's great!" Lingling jumped up happily, "Ah, I almost forgot something. Oh, madam, Mr. Nian is here, but Miss is out."
"Shiyun?" Yuan Niao Niao was a little surprised. "Take me there. I've been waiting for a long time."
"Okay, please follow Lingling." Lingling hurriedly led the way to the palace where Nian Shiyun was.
"Shiyun." Yuan's cheerful voice sounded: "Long time no see."
"Niao Niao?" Nian Shiyun looked up and was a little surprised to see the person coming: "Long time no see, I should call you Queen, oh my god, what's wrong with you? Are you pregnant with a dragon heir?"
"Yes, the baby says hello to Brother Nian." Yuan Niao Niao touched her belly with a smile, then walked straight to Nian Shiyun and sat down: "Come and find Xixi."
"Yes." Nian Shiyun blushed a little embarrassedly: "But Lingling said Xixi went out. I wonder where Xixi went?"
"She's going out with her brother-in-law, don't worry," Yuan Niaoniao thought for a moment and didn't tell Nian Shiyun the real reason, "How long will you be out this time?"
"I can stay for a while. I've told my family that I'm out looking for someone," said Nian Shiyun.
"Are you here to find your future wife?" Yuan Niaoniao joked.
Nian Shiyun's face turned red when Yuan Niaoniao teased him so bluntly, but he did not deny that he had deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to confess his feelings to Xixi.
"But Xixi," Yuan Niaoniao thought about it and felt that Nian Shiyun should know the truth, so she decided to tell him the truth. Anyway, Nian Shiyun would have to wait in the palace anyway, so it would be better to let him go over to help, with more people and more safety.
"Actually, Xixi, her brother-in-law and Jiaxin went to rescue Miss Xueyao. Xueyao went alone to seek revenge on Han Junyi, and we were really worried about her safety, so we let Xixi and Jiaxin go out with Shaoyi. If you are worried, you can look in the direction of Zhao State, and maybe you can catch up with them." Yuan Niaoniao tried her best to make things simple and clear, but she couldn't help but worry about Nian Shiyun's reaction.
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Nian Shiyun immediately stood up with an anxious look on his face. But soon, he realized that his reaction was too intense, and sat down again with an embarrassed blushing face.
"You and I don't have to be embarrassed. If you are nervous, just go ahead. Otherwise, I won't tell you the truth." Yuan Niao Niao said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. I'll leave right away without further ado." Seeing this, Nian Shiyun no longer concealed his inner thoughts, "Niaoniao, take good care of yourself. I will bring Xixi back safely." Then he said goodbye and set off overnight.
Dongxue and Lingdang stood aside and sighed: "What a love-struck young man..."
Yuan Niaoniao was amused by their admiring looks. She shook her head and went back to her room. She was indeed tired after playing for a whole day.
