Chapter 136, Troubled Times

"Have you heard that the Fifth Prince is under house arrest!"

"At the beginning, it was said that he would die if he went to Beijing, but so what, Yumian is dead, and the military salary has been cut off by the prince's party, so he is waiting to die in the battlefield."

"Hey, His Majesty is really so cruel today. After all, he is the only son of Concubine Ming. Doesn't it mean that Concubine Ming is extremely favored?"

"It's true to be favored, but it's also true to be helpless. How can a foreign girl compare with the queen's natal family in the backstage?"

"If we really wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, I'm afraid our days will be even more difficult."

"No, not only iron ore is monopolized by their family, but also private salt sellers are shot to kill. I heard that the weaving factory in the south of the Yangtze River is also a vassal of his family. Fortunately, the northern land is remote and their family doesn't like it. Difficult to do."

"Hmph, I see, now half of the wealth has gone into his family's private treasury. The treasury is empty. There is no money for the war, and the victims of the disaster have no money to resettle. There are more and more refugees in the Huguang area. How many people died."

"Oh, troubled times, troubled times!"

"The common people are not having a good life, and so are you and me. Originally, the Fifth Prince still had some influence among the people. But this time, those who stand in the wrong team will suffer."

"No, don't mention how miserable my business trip was. Half of the goods on the road were robbed. I went to the government to sue, and no one cared about it. The remaining goods were brought back all the way, and I couldn't find a suitable buyer. , I couldn’t help it in my hands, and finally sold it at a loss, what do you think I am trying to do this trip? I almost lost my life, but I didn’t make any money!”

"Yes, the road is becoming less and less peaceful now, refugees are everywhere, bandits are rampant, and the government is weak. I think, hmph, catastrophe is not far away!"

"I just hope that the sage will be lenient. If the fifth prince is really...no one will be able to compete with him in the future..."

In the time spent on a cup of tea, I listened to some outside information, all of which were related to the dispute between the five princes and princes. There were more and more refugees, and everyone was in danger.

"Let's go and buy some clothes. We can't dress like this to talk to others."

Seeing that there was nothing new, Xiaoqing put down the money and left with the others.

At this moment, the door of the private room on the third floor opened, and several luxuriously dressed young men and women came out of the room.

The head is a young girl with a very rich and bright appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, tall nose bridge, thick black hair, wearing gilt flowers inlaid with blood-red agate, reflecting her snow-white skin like jade, and gold silk butterfly pendants carved on both sides Wearing tassels, she was wearing a fiery red peony flower brocade robe, outlining a curvy figure, a python pattern nine-section whip pinned to her waist, and a pair of snow-white knee-high mink boots, looking heroic and noble.

There are two women and three men in this group, all of them have extraordinary manners, and their gestures show everyone's demeanor.

As soon as the door opened, the girl in the lead jumped out like a deer, and slid down the handrail of the stairs directly from the third floor. The wind surpassed Xiaoqing and the others who were about to go downstairs, because the speed was too fast, that The mink boots just brushed against Xiaoqing's chest, making Xiaoqing stagger in fright, embarrassed and uncomfortable, the body that has just begun to develop is extremely delicate, no matter how soft the mink fur is, wearing it on her feet is like kicking her chest Like a foot, but you can't rub it with your hands.

Just as she was about to get angry, she saw that the bright woman had already jumped on both feet, landed steadily, turned around and gave Xiaoqing and the others a very contemptuous and proud look.

He clearly pointed at them, but ignored them at all, and yelled at the few people behind:

"Come down quickly, it's always so slow, hum!"

The voice was as clear as an oriole, flamboyant and flamboyant, which immediately attracted the attention of all the men in the lobby.
