Chapter 232 Renovating the Backyard (3)
Jingyi followed her gaze and saw that it was the woman who answered her question just now.

Si Qin cupped her hands and said: "Princess Wang, although the strength of these people is inferior to that of my subordinates, they are more than enough to deal with some second-rate masters in the Jianghu! With them, the concubine can rest easy in her backyard."

Jingyi nodded, looked at the deputy guard and said, "What's your name?"

The woman immediately stepped forward and cupped her hands and said: "If you return to Wangfei, the subordinate will wake up."

Jingyi was taken aback, "Your surname is Su?"

But Su Xing raised his head and said, "My lord, there are 40 of us, all of whom are orphans. They were adopted by the lord and given martial arts. The lord told me seven years ago that all of us have the same surname. Su, there is no other surname! This subordinate was told seven years ago that it is the mission of this subordinate to protect the princess!"

Jingyi's eyes are a little wandering, was it seven years ago?Yuanxi, your thoughts are so deep!You are so considerate for me, what can I do for you?

Jingyi soon came back to her senses, looked at the crowd and said: "In that case, then you should treat this palace as your own home and live a good life so as to comfort the spirits of your parents!" Su Xing said: "Su Xing, since you are the new deputy head of the guard, from now on, you must assist Siqin well, and the safety of this back house is in your hands."

Everyone knelt down in unison and said: "This subordinate will swear allegiance to the princess to the death!"

Jingyi hurriedly got up and said: "Get up quickly, what is this for? From now on, we will meet every day, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. Get up quickly."

Jing Yi looked at Si Qin and said, "Si Qin, please arrange their affairs carefully. Also, those four beauties, keep an eye on them, I don't want them to appear in the sight of me and the prince, you understand ?”

"Yes, this subordinate understands!" After Si Qin finished speaking, he said again: "Then this subordinate will take them down first and arrange the duty."

Jingyi nodded, and didn't close her eyes until they were all gone.Begonia on the side was puzzled and said: "Princess, since you don't like them, why did you let them stay in the mansion? Why didn't you find an excuse and send them out?"

Jingyi shook her head and said: "You don't understand! In the officialdom, for the sake of power, any means can be used. Right now, the prince has just arrived in the city, and those people haven't figured out the prince's temper, so they must think of ways to please the prince. This beauty is one of them."

Only then did Haitang suddenly realize: "So that's it! No wonder you have such a good temper and ignore them."

"That's right! I haven't arrived yet, if the prince doesn't have many beauties around, I'm afraid those people will give him more joy."

"However, Wangfei, you can also directly send these people out of the mansion. In this way, everyone will know that the prince is not a womanizer and only favors the princess? In this way, no one will send beauties here? "

Jingyi chuckled twice, "Haitang, you are thinking too simply. Let's not say that these people were gifted by Concubine Shu. If there is no major fault, they cannot be sent away. Just say that these people are sent away. Going out, have you thought about the impact on the prince?"

"My lord?" Haitang frowned and said, "What does this have to do with my lord?"

Jingyi sighed and said: "Did you forget that I haven't reached my age yet? If the prince doesn't want other beauties, does it mean that the prince only likes young girls? Or is it that the prince has a habit of breaking sleeves? No matter what it is, It will greatly damage the reputation of the prince. We are new here, and we have not yet stabilized our bodies, so we still can't take this risk."

Only then did Haitang nod her head, and said, "It's because this slave girl didn't think carefully."

Jingyi nodded, and lay reclined on the side couch, supported her head with her right hand, and asked, "Are those two girls still honest?"

"Back to the princess, it seems to be honest at the moment. Both of them are working hard, even if the prince comes sometimes, the two of them dare not look at the prince again."

Only then did Jingyi narrow her eyes, and said: "Well, it can finally save me from worrying. But, don't relax. These two girls are the daughters of the old man next to the prince, but they can't come out. What's wrong, so as not to cause trouble to the prince."

"Yes! The servants will watch more."

Study outside the palace

Yuan Xi stood in front of the case, looked worriedly at the few people in front of him and said, "What's the matter? Prime Minister Bai, is there nothing you can do?"

Baishi lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the tax revenue of the three counties and sixteen counties under this closed city is comparable to this every year. Everyone in Dayuan knows that this closed city is poor. I have been unable to figure out a way to solve the tax payment of the closed city."

Yuan Xi looked at him, but didn't say a word, but frowned, and turned to look at other people.When the other people saw the prince's gaze sweeping over, they also lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look up.

Yuan Xi turned his gaze back to Bai Shi again, what an old fox, this is to threaten himself with this!Did you actually think of using this method to force yourself to let Song Hao or Peng Jiangda be the military minister?snort!This year's tax money in this closed city is less than half of last year's!What is comparable, is really talking nonsense with your eyes open!
Yuan Xi glanced at everyone, and said: "You all step back, let me think about this matter again. See if there is a solution?"

Everyone withdrew as promised and left Prince Ping's Mansion.

Baishi left Prince Ping's mansion, walked to his carriage, and was about to get into the carriage when he saw Song Hao walking over, followed by a general.

"Bai Xiang, does this matter have to be like this? What if there is a stalemate with King Ping?" Song Hao said with a worried expression.

But Baishi said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? Isn't he just a brat? Thinking that after staying in the border for a few years, he understands everything? Hmph! Childish and ridiculous!"

Song Hao, however, disagreed a little and said: "Prince Bai, the fact that King Ping can replace the backyard of the palace with a group of female guards without any interest is enough to show that he is not simple!"

"Hmph!" Baishi said mockingly, "General Song, are you confused? Do you really think that the forty female guards were handwritten by King Ping? I'm afraid his father-in-law, Ping Nanhou, carefully selected them for his daughter." Right? Think about it, let a little girl who is not yet ready to accompany King Ping come to this impoverished place, how can you feel at ease? Plus the four beauties rewarded by Concubine Shu! If you don’t send some people over , won't her precious daughter be bullied to death?"

"But I heard that Princess Ping is the most talented woman in the capital, how can she be easily bullied?"

"Talented women? Hmph! Most talented women are very ambitious, but they can't see some hidden activities. Such women are the best to deal with." After Baishi finished speaking, he glanced at Song Hao.

Song Hao then nodded and said: "Thanks to Bai Xiang's point! Song Hao finally figured it out. But, is it too much to do this? If King Ping finds out, how will we end up? "
