Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 1388 Brother (fourth update)
After the long talk with Yang Ruoqing, Sister Hua and Yun Niang seemed to have taken a reassurance.

Sister Hua said: "With Miss Qing'er's words, I am relieved, the crime that Yunniang and Xiangyulou's sisters suffered can also be solved."

"Miss Qing'er, don't worry, we will definitely follow your instructions. During this period of time, keep a low profile and recharge your batteries."

"When the time is right, you only need to call, and we will all come to listen to your orders."

Yang Ruoqing nodded in satisfaction: "That's great!"

Sister Hua then stood up: "If Miss Qing'er has no other orders, then I will go back first."

Yunniang supported Sister Hua, and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Miss Qing'er, I..."

"Now that Sister Hua is out, you sisters will naturally be reunited." Yang Ruoqing interrupted Yunniang.

"You go with Sister Hua, I will send someone to find you if something happens," she said.

Sister Hua and Yun Niang bowed to Yang Ruoqing, and the two sisters helped her out of the house.

Here, Yang Ruoqing sat back, picked up the tea in hand and took a sip.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

Xiangyu Tower is just her first step in the capital.

……

Master Zhang came back from the construction site of the imperial mausoleum, so he asked Mu Zichuan to come over that night, and summoned Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

"Master has booked a private room in a restaurant in front, waiting for you two."

In the carriage passing by, Mu Zichuan said to Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

"Besides my mentor, there is another important person coming over tonight..."

"Wait a moment!"

Yang Ruoqing interrupted Mu Zichuan.

"Let me guess who that big shot is, um... Is it Mr. Zhang's prince's student?" she asked.

Mu Zichuan smiled slightly.

"Qing'er is really smart, that's right, it is His Royal Highness the Second Prince," he said.

Yang Ruoqing said again: "What's the second prince's name? How is his relationship with Qi Xingyun?"

Mu Zichuan said: "The second prince's name is Qi Xingchen, His Highness Prince Chen and His Royal Highness Yun are at odds."

"The reason why the two imperial envoys disagreed with each other when the house was shaken in our area last time was because they belonged to the two princes," he said.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned.

No need to guess, the second prince also came when I went to the restaurant to have a banquet tonight.

Not surprisingly, they also wanted to win over Luo Fengtang.

It's only natural for the second prince to win over.

Why pinch?
Because the last time when she was doing flood relief, Master Zhang and King Chen passed the water control strategies she proposed.

And the other Master Xu, as well as King Yun behind Master Xu, dismissed it.

Rejected, not because the water control strategy is not good.

It is precisely because the strategy is good and feasible that they want to reject it even more.

I would rather let the people be devoured by floods, and I don't want my competitors to make contributions and contribute to the future battle for the crown prince.

Hey!
Yang Ruoqing shook her head secretly, she really didn't want to get involved in the fights of these princes.

However, there are many things, as if there is a big hand of fate pushing behind them, and there is always some involuntary control.

……

In an elegant private room on the third floor of the restaurant, Yang Ruoqing finally met the scholar Mr. Zhang who admired Mu Zichuan.

I also saw His Royal Highness Chen Wang behind Mr. Zhang.

She didn't bother to describe Master Zhang's appearance.

He looks in his early fifties, just like countless people who are officials, he is blessed, his stomach is shy, and his temples are a little gray.

However, the spirit is very good, and the eyes are shining with wisdom.

Beside him, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man.

Estimated to be in his early thirties.

The middle-aged man has a good appearance, and his facial features are somewhat similar to Qi Xingyun's, but he is far less handsome than Qi Xingyun.

Yang Ruoqing guessed that this person must be the second prince Qi Xingchen.

Seeing Mu Zichuan leading Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang in, Qi Xingchen and Master Zhang stood up unexpectedly.

Qi Xingchen walked towards this side, with a hearty smile on his face.

"The two must be General Luo and Mrs. Zun, right? I have known you for a long time, and I just met today. Xingchen is extremely honored!"

As soon as Qi Xingchen opened his mouth, what he said didn't have the feeling of being superior to a prince at all.

Instead, it feels like Big Brother from the village next door.

Kind of sweet.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised by her own thoughts.

But she quickly suppressed this strange feeling, and along with Luo Fengtang, greeted Qi Xingchen and Master Zhang in a graceful manner.

There were no other people, just the five of them sat around the table.

Then, the rich and delicate dishes were served on the table one after another.

Qi Xingchen said to Luo Fengtang: "Some time ago, my mentor and I were sent to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb, but we were not able to entertain the two of you. It was a breach of etiquette. I am really ashamed."

"This first glass of wine, I punish myself!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Xingchen picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other, and they both saw the same appreciation in each other's eyes.

Luo Fengtang also picked up the wine glass in front of him: "His Royal Highness Chen is refreshing, Feng Tang respects His Royal Highness, the first is to respect!"

The toasting between you and me quickly shortened the distance between each other.

After drinking for three rounds, Qi Xingchen patted Luo Fengtang on the shoulder: "Tonight's party, we don't talk about business!"

"I came here just to get to know you and your wife."

"The disaster relief is meritorious, and the strategy is novel."

"When the plague swept through, you and your wife also stepped forward and developed an effective medicine against the plague, saving countless people!"

"My king admires you for being considerate of the people and responsible."

"It's my honor to be able to sit at the same wine table with the two of you for a drink!"

"Come on, let's drink..."

In this way, this dinner took nearly two hours.

Chen Wang, Qi Xingchen and Luo Fengtang both felt like they hit it off.

"General Luo, for some reason, when I first saw you, I had a kind feeling, as if..."

"It seems that you are a long-lost friend of mine, no. It should be said that you are a relative..."

In the end, Qi Xingchen held Luo Fengtang's shoulders, and his tongue curled up a bit when he spoke.

Luo Fengtang also laughed.

"King Chen loves you, but the general will not be able to bear it."

"Hi!" Qi Xingchen waved his hands: "I said that I will not talk about business or official titles tonight. In this private room, there are only teachers, students, and seniors..."

A night banquet, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

On the carriage going back, Yang Ruoqing looked at Luo Fengtang beside him who drank so much wine and was still not drunk.

"This drinking capacity is really overwhelming. I didn't get drunk after drinking so much. It's amazing!" she said.

Luo Fengtang said with a smile: "It's rare to have a thousand cups of wine when you meet a bosom friend. Tonight, I'm very happy."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Because of His Royal Highness?"

Luo Fengtang nodded.

"It's so strange to say it, this is the first time I've met King Chen, but I feel an indescribable intimacy!"

"It's like, like he's my brother..."
