Chapter 129 Princess Jingle
Chapter 129 Princess Jingle
"This is something from the Princess's Mansion. It was given to Hongxiu by the Princess back then. By the way, Hongxiu is the Princess's wet nurse. The word 'Lan' on it is the symbol of the Princess's Mansion."
Qu Jingyao blinked her eyes, thinking to herself, "What a melodrama!" She took out the white jade pendant and handed it over.
"Are you looking at this?"
The old madman did not dare to neglect it. He took it respectfully and looked at it carefully.
"Young Master, please wait a moment. Someone will bring some wine."
The old madman shouted at the man in black below.
Baiguo moved closer to his master, still with a defensive look on his face.
How could she not know the Princess Luo Xi mentioned by the old madman? When she was with the master, she heard a lot about the deeds of King Haoshan, the god of war of Yan and Chu.
What is particularly enviable is his lifelong love story with Princess Luo Xi.
Qu Jingyao saw a man in black walking in carrying a jar of wine.
"Boss, the wine is here."
The old madman gestured for him to pour the wine into the coarse porcelain bowl on the stone table.
He then soaked the jade pendant into the wine bowl. After a while, the words "Jingle" appeared on the jade pendant when it came into contact with the wine.
"Look, young master, the two characters Jingle on this jade pendant are the princess's title, Princess Jingle."
The old madman explained that this title was bestowed during the reign of the previous emperor.
The late emperor really liked Princess Jingle back then.
Qu Jingyao listened to him talk about the Yanchu Kingdom, King Haoshan, and how he had searched for his mother in the Yuanshao Kingdom for so many years, and confirmed all the big and small things that had happened along the way.
"Pa bang..."
The old madman knelt before her and began to smack his lips furiously: "It's all my fault for being so stupid. I didn't even realize the princess was right in front of me. As a result, the princess has been oppressed by the Naqu family for so many years."
Seeing this, Qu Jingyao quickly reached out her hand, but it froze in mid-air. She slowly retracted it and opened her mouth:
"I have no right to forgive you on your behalf. Whether your mother recognizes you as her subordinate and accepts everything you say is up to her to decide."
Qu Jingyao's words were very clear, she wanted to let Liu decide this matter herself.
Bai Guo was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She had heard a long time ago that King Haoshan had a little daughter missing, but she never thought it was his wife.
Qu Jingyao advised him not to make a big fuss about everything, as she was afraid that it would bring danger to his family.
"Young Master, I understand. Who else knows that you can understand animal language? I think we shouldn't let anyone else know for now."
Qu Jingyao understood what he meant and told him that for now only her family and Baiguo knew about it, and no one else knew that she understood animal language.
The old madman explained to her that the Yanchu royal family knew that Princess Luo Xi understood animal language, so he was afraid that those people would follow this to find the princess, which would bring danger.
"Listen carefully, the one sitting at the top is your real master..." The old madman was interrupted by Qu Jingyao before he could finish his words. This matter still needed his mother's approval.
She stood up and looked around. She really admired this old madman for the hundreds of people hiding here.
"I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. If you want to see my mother, then wait for her to return to Lingshui Village in two days."
The old madman bent down and knelt on one knee and responded respectfully.
"I will escort the young master out."
As he spoke, the old madman led Qu Jingyao and his servant out of the cave.
He accompanied the person halfway up the mountain, and only turned and left when he was stopped by Qu Jingyao.
After he has discussed this matter with the princess, he will personally return to Yanchu State and bring the news to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The princess's health has been damaged over the years because she missed the princess too much and was too sad.
If King Haoshan had not been concerned about the princess's health, he would have come out to look for his daughter long ago, but he has not dared to leave for all these years.
"Master..." Bai Guo shouted in confusion when he saw his master suddenly stop.
Qu Jingyao sighed and continued walking down the mountain.
At this time, Qu Qingchen at the foot of the mountain had already led his men to plant all the last seeds.
"elder brother."
"Are you back? All the work here is finished. Yaoyao should pay the uncles and aunts today."
Qu Jingyao looked at the neatly arranged fields, curled the corners of her lips and nodded slightly.
"Okay, brother, Baiguo, go give each uncle an extra ten cents. If they hadn't worked so hard, this job wouldn't have been completed so quickly."
Baiguo took the purse handed to her by her master, which was full of copper coins. She took a few steps forward and walked towards the place where everyone was resting under the tree.
"My uncles and aunts have said that we will pay everyone their wages today, with an extra ten cents per person."
"Oh, this is amazing! This time I can cut some meat for my greedy kid at home to satisfy his tooth."
"Yao girl and Qingchen boy are really like that, they are loyal and affectionate people." The aunt gave a thumbs up and praised them.
Baiguo smiled, glanced at his master who was chatting with the eldest young master, and then began to distribute silver and money to everyone one by one with a smile.
Qu Jingyao took a deep breath and said, "Brother, come back to town with me later. I have something to discuss with you and mother."
Qu Qingchen put down the hoe he was repairing, looked up at his sister, and nodded with the corners of his lips curled.
"it is good."
The corners of Qu Jingyao's lips unconsciously rose, a sincere smile bloomed on her face, and a bright light of happiness flashed in her eyes.
"Master has settled everything." Bai Guo turned back.
Qu Jingyao nodded. At this time, several uncles came towards them and thanked them.
Although it was only ten cents more, it could feed the whole family for two days.
"Uncles, you have all worked hard. Go back and rest early. When the house is finished, Qingchen will personally invite you all to a feast."
Qu Qingchen bowed to everyone and received everyone's praise.
The brother and sister exchanged a few words with everyone, watched everyone leave, and then turned around and got on the carriage.
The carriage of the Baiguo family slowly drove out of the village.
"Yaoyao, Brother Qingchen, wait a moment."
Behind the carriage, Xu Lingling was chasing after it with a bundle in her arms, shouting loudly.
"Master, Miss Lingling is behind the carriage."
"parking."
Bai Guo quickly pulled the reins: "Whoa!"
Xu Lingling was running out of breath. When she saw the carriage stop, her eyes lit up and she immediately chased after it.
"Huh...Huh...Finally caught up. I'm so tired. Yao...Yao, my mother asked me to bring these to you. They were all rushed out in the past few days."
Baiguo took the bundle and handed it into the carriage. Qu Jingyao lifted the curtain and waved to Lingling.
"Look at you, you're sweating all over."
Qu Jingyao took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, but was pushed away by the girl.
"It's okay. Don't dirty the handkerchief. Go back. By the way, when will you be back?" Lingling asked with some reluctance, pouting.
Qu Jingyao smiled and glanced at her expressionless brother, but if you looked closely, you could see that both of them had blushing ears.
"Brother should be back tomorrow. My mother and the others will be staying for a while. If you miss me, come with me to the city and stay for a few days."
