The Love Imagination System
Section 65: The Gift of Apology
“Your Highness the Princess, I came at the behest of Her Majesty,”
Cui Kong felt quite calm as the west courtyard gate was no longer locked. A few male servants came with him while carrying some treasure chests. The crates were taken directly from King Changle's mansion's treasure vault, and the contents were chosen the best.
“Do your princes want me to forget about that problem?”
“Your Majesty actually knows he's guilty. It's just that he doesn't know how to express it. So, she asked me to send Her Highness the Princess some of these meagre items.”
The waiter opened the crates. Gold, taels, rare furniture, paintings, also brocade fabrics of premium quality so spoil the eyes. Had Qingyi been a treasure-crazed person, she would have already taken everything. Looking at that many objects, Qingyi showed a face of no interest at all.
“Originally you know, I won't forgive him. Bring back these things and don't pollute my page!”
Cui Kong, whose brain was a little slow, then ordered the waiter to transport back the treasure chests. Yinghao who was struggling spoiled at Qingyi's feet immediately told her that Qingyi had only forty days left and that perhaps her master would need some extra time back.
Recalling that, Qingyi directly stopped the servants.
“Wait! Save the tael and silk crates. The rest bring it back!”
Cui Kong nodded. Some tael chests and silk cloth were kept in the courtyard. The guard turned around, then smiled. It's really women, always selling expensive at the beginning. In the end, he still accepted it even if only partially.
Princess Consort Changle was really very good at judging. The price of the silk inside the crate was more expensive than the price of the rare objects brought back to the warehouse.
Were it not for having to pawn items to exchange them for extra time, Qingyi would not have been willing to accept the reward from Baili Qingchen. His sense of regret had not disappeared until now even though he had bullied Qingchen that day.
The man said he wanted to explain, but up until now he didn't even show his nose.
Never mind, he doesn't need any explanation either. Qingyi already knew everything clearly. He guessed, the current Wang Yiyuan must be being interrogated and ready to be put to death.
Emperor Baili is certainly in the dark as his ministers are still questioning the impeachment of the prime minister and his decision not to seek a replacement position. Alias, the position was left empty just like that.
Obviously it was a great opportunity. Being prime minister is not only the highest official in the empire, but also the representative of the emperor or indirectly the ruler of government. There were many people who wanted to take Liu Wang's place, but Emperor Baili clearly closed the opportunity.
Hah, a country with a monarchy system is difficult to understand if it does not really understand. Qingyi stuffed the treasure chests into the dimensional space, then relaxed in the garden. The spring sun was warm and it was good for his bone health.
Since coming here, he has never really rested. Almost every night, he goes out to complete missions or overcome various problems.
In the afternoon, he was bullied by Xiao Junjie and the prime minister's minions. Not to mention the annoyance of Baili Qingchen who sometimes teased his faith and patience. His life seemed relaxed, but it was actually very difficult. All of a sudden he misses his home in the real world, longing for the noise of the neighbors and the nagging of his bosses in the office.
“I must finish my mission immediately,” muttered.
The system simply does not tell how things are in the world there. Whether his apartment was abandoned or all his belongings were packed and stored outside for not paying the annual rent, whether his boss was looking for him, whether the world there was fine in his absence, he had no idea.
Qingyi felt bored for a long time in the mansion. Suddenly the mood of his streets came and filled his heart. Qingyi held Yinghao in her arms, then walked into her room and changed into clothes. After tidying up, he slipped out of the mansion through the back gate.
There was already one horse carriage that Qingyi had deliberately prepared as a form of vigilance, just in case one day she had an urgent matter and had to go alone.
At that time, the streets of the imperial city were crowded with many merchants from outside the city and abroad. There were those from the West, the Northern Plains, there were even those who came all the way from the southern region, who entered the imperial city of Bingyue officially. They had passing permits and entry permits for the imperial city, so there was no need to worry about being arrested and imprisoned.
“Master, let's go buy something,” Yinghao said upon arrival.
“OK,” Qingyi said.
Qingyi and Yinghao sat in a food stall that was not too crowded with visitors. The owner of the tavern spoke using a fairly foreign accent and Qingyi had trouble understanding it. He asked Yinghao to translate it. The little panda told me that the shop had a venison and roast beef bansio.
For a moment, Qingyi fell silent digesting the merchant's words. The two meals she said were menus from the imperial kitchen, and only the palace family could enjoy them. Strange, Qingyi thought. A small merchant could not possibly make a fancy dish whose recipe was only in the palace kitchen.
“Have you ever worked at the palace?” ask Qingyi.
The merchant replied with his dialect, making Qingyi shake his head instantly and say, “Use the formal language of the imperial city.”
Only then did the merchant use the official language on Bingyue to communicate.
“No, Miss. I am just a regular chef from Fujian. A few years ago, His Majesty the Emperor came to visit Fujian. Unaccustomed to eating food from the outside, His Majesty brought along the palace chef. Coincidentally, I was studying at the chef who helped the palace chef, so I studied this menu from there.”
A fujian? Isn't it a city nicknamed ‘Golden City’ Bingyue?
The city is located far to the southeast. He said that his life was quite prosperous there. There were several gold mines that were excavated and traded with the permission of Emperor Baili.
Qingyi did not expect that the lazy emperor had also visited there. He thought, Baili Jingyan can forever stay in the imperial palace only.
“Why did you come here? You can be a rich man in Fujian if you sell this dish. Not everyone can enjoy it and taste the cuisine with the exact same taste as the palace food,” said Qingyi.
The merchant smiled awkwardly and said that he had come here because of an assignment. Being a food merchant and setting up shop here was just a distraction as he carried out the task.
It just so happened that in the imperial city was bustling and the spring festival was about to take place. He wanted to feel the thrill of living in the imperial city before returning home to Fujian.
Qingyi nodded in understanding. The merchant named Xiao Wu was looking at Qingyi's appearance from the tip of the hair with the tip of a foot. The head accessories were made of gold, simple makeup, expensive thread embroidered fancy clothes, super quality sewing shoes, and also rare jade hangers, making Xiao Wu think that the customer was not from an ordinary family.
Moreover, there was an aura of grandeur mixed with elegance within him.
“What Miss is a princess from a noble family?” tanyakanya.
Casually Qingyi replied, “Not. It's just that my husband is a cunning and clever official playing strategy, so his money is a lot and his wealth is abundant.”
“Does your husband know King Changle?”
At that moment, Qingyi hid her shock.
“What are you asking?”
“Oh, look. King Changle is so great, I would love to see him even from afar. Can Miss help me to deliver a message through Miss's husband?”
“Come to his mansion directly.”
Qingyi then wrote down the address of King Changle's mansion and left the note on the table. Xiao Wu picked it up and read it carefully. His face was very happy and he wanted to thank me. But, Qingyi had already left. The woman had not even ordered any food at all.
