The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Ren Tianye narrowed his eyes and looked at the Imperial Guards stationed in the distance. They were a full five miles away. Even if they opened the city gates, the Imperial Guards would not be able to rush over in a short time if these twenty people rioted.

Their gate remains as solid as a mountain.

So he said directly, "Open the city gates and let them in."

"yes!"

"Follow me to the city gate to meet this person sent by the imperial court. I'd like to know what they're up to."

"How are you going to negotiate with me!"

"yes!"

After the gates of Yunji City opened, Ren Tianye immediately led everyone down the city wall. However, the city gate was empty; the twenty-odd people who had just entered were nowhere to be found.

Where are they?

Ren Tianye asked in surprise.

The soldiers guarding the gate were also bewildered, saying, "General, they... they're so strange. After entering the city gate, they immediately rode away on horseback."

"According to them, we're going to buy some gifts and give them to someone."

"Now……"

"They've all run far away."

Ren Tianye was instantly bewildered.

What the hell?

Ran?

Weren't we here to negotiate?

They've arrived with 20,000 Imperial Guards, looking so aggressive and impatient. Are they here to attack Yunji City or to negotiate with them?

What the hell is this about going shopping?

What could be more important than Cloud Ridge City?

Ren Tianye had a terrible headache.

He felt that he might have fallen into a cognitive trap again, namely, he couldn't measure this female-oriented online world with the mindset of a normal person.

This is... absolutely outrageous!

……

"Reporting, General..."

Inside the general's mansion, waves of soldiers sent to monitor the situation brought back information about more than twenty riders entering the city.

"Those people went to the East Market."

"General, those people have gone to the West Market again."

"General, those men have gone to Linlang Street."

"General, those people are strolling around Linlang Street. They've all dismounted and are acting very relaxed."

……

As Ren Tianye listened, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

First they went to the East Market, then the West Market, and finally Linlang Street. This clearly indicates that they didn't visit the ordinary streets of the East and West Markets.

Linlang Street, as the most luxurious street in Yunji City, has always been a gathering place for high-end merchants in Yunji City. In fact, if the city gates had not been closed these days, it would attract a large number of merchants doing business with the Dayu and the barbarians.

It can be considered the most famous shopping festival in northern Xinjiang.

These people went to Linlang Street, apparently intending to buy goods.

Damn it...

What items are you buying?

They brought the Imperial Guards with them; shouldn't this be a battle between two armies?

How do I purchase goods?

Ren Tianye once again deeply realized that you shouldn't try to guess what female readers are thinking; you simply can't!

And who exactly is this ringleader?!

How... how can you be so brainless?

"General, I heard them calling him 'Young Master Lu' repeatedly, and I even heard someone call him 'Young Master Lu'."

Young Master?

Surname Lu?

Ren Tianye immediately had a guess in his mind.

The titles of nobility in the Great Yu Dynasty, excluding those of princes, are divided into five levels.

They are Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.

Those who can be called "Young Master" are of similar status to their predecessors and must be the legitimate sons of the Duke's mansion.

It's almost certain that his surname is Lu.

"This is... the son of the Duke of Fuguo!"

"Young Master Lu!"

Ren Tianye was exhausted and ordered, "Continue to monitor them. As long as they don't cause any trouble, don't touch them yet."

"This general wants to see what kind of trouble they're up to!"

"yes!"

……

Linlang Street.

Young Master Lu Jun was leisurely strolling through the streets with his entourage when a man who resembled his deputy but was actually the steward assigned to him by the Duke's mansion couldn't help but say, "Young Master, let's hurry up."

"If we delay the Imperial Guards' return, we may face impeachment."

Young Master Lu Jun, however, remained completely unconcerned, saying indifferently, "Impeach me, the Marquis? Hmph, who dares to be so disrespectful!"

Seeing that the young master still wouldn't listen, the steward could only continue, "Young master, even if the court officials dare not impeach us, there's no point in us being here!"

"The second young lady of the Su family has already clearly rejected you. You are the son of a duke; what kind of woman can't you have? Why bother with such a thing as the daughter of a mere merchant?"

"Maybe we should go back."

Young Master Lu Jun remained unmoved, instead saying, "You simply don't understand."

"This is nothing more than Suzhou embroidery playing hard to get."

"Ha, I've seen this kind of 'playing hard to get' act many times, but..." Young Master Lu Jun's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Su Xiu is the only one I want to play this game with to the very end."

housekeeper:"……"

"But Miss Su has said time and again that you and she are destined to be apart, and that you should give her up!"

"Give her up? Ha, maybe in your next life."

"In this lifetime, Su Xiu will never escape my grasp."

housekeeper:"……"

Young Master Lu Jun ignored the steward and, seeing a shop nearby, said, "I've heard that Su Xiu loves calligraphy and painting, so I, the Marquis, will give her the best writing materials."

He led his men in with great strides.

The waiter immediately came to greet them.

Although there has been constant unrest in Yunji City these days, it has been mainly concentrated in the military camps and has not affected ordinary people. It's just that there are no more outside customers.

The young master's group was the first of their kind.

This made the waiter, who already thought the young master and his party were extraordinary, even more attentive.

"Sir, what do you need?"

"The stationery in our shop is the best in the entire northern Xinjiang region. They are all top-quality and absolutely comparable to those in Beijing."

Young Master Lu Jun nodded, casually picked up a few items to examine them, and said, "It's no exaggeration, the items are indeed quite good."

"Then, sir, how many would you like to pick?"

The young master glanced over and then stopped at a few writing implements.

"this……"

"And that one..."

"Yes, and the one at the very bottom..."

He picked them one by one, naming four or five in one breath.

This instantly excited the waiter and even the shop owner. They had been worried about what the garrison had been up to these past two days, which had cut off their customers.

There haven't been any big deals for several days now.

I didn't expect a group of people to come today, and they were so generous, wanting to pick up so many things at once.

He quickly flattered, "Sir, you have an excellent eye! These are all our shop's prized possessions..."

"I don't want any of these!" Young Master Lu Jun said leisurely.

Waiter: "..."

Shop owner: "..."

"Besides these..." the young master continued without blinking, "wrap up the rest, I want them all."

Waiter: "???"

Shop owner: "???"

Immediately realizing what was happening, the shop owner leaned over and asked, "Sir, are you going to buy all of these?"

"This price..."

"Money is no problem, as long as the items are good and the Second Miss likes them." The young master said coolly, and with a wave of his hand, two golden-armored soldiers behind him immediately took out a large amount of gold.

It was placed on the counter with a "clatter".

The shop owner and waiter were both dazzled.

This is real gold!

So many?!

Holy crap, where did this sucker come from?
