Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 215 Wishing for Happiness and Health

Xiao Yufu left the palace and walked aimlessly until she came to Junzi Restaurant. She looked up and walked in uncontrollably. Yuan Xinghui happened to see Xiao Yufu and ran to talk to Zhao Junning.

Zhao Junning walked out and saw Xiao Yufu. The two looked at each other. Zhao Junning made a gesture of invitation and asked in the box, "Why did the Ninth Princess come to my shop?" Zhao Junning asked.

Xiao Yufu looked at Zhao Junning, "Zhao Junning, I'm actually quite envious of you. Very envious."

Zhao Junning made tea for Xiao Yufu. "You envy me? Princess, you are joking."

"I'm not joking. Sometimes I wonder if I was born in an ordinary family, would I be like you? Would I get Li Ziyan before you? But later when I was in prison, I found that even if I were an ordinary woman, Li Ziyan would not choose me." Xiao Yufu said with a smile.

Then she continued, "I was wrong in the past and was prejudiced against you. Today I came to apologize. After all, I will be leaving here soon."

Zhao Junning looked at her. Was she going to marry so soon?

"You know I'm a princess, my father's legitimate daughter. I think it's not a bad idea to marry into the Wei Dynasty for the good of the Wei Dynasty. Prince Yihan the Fifth is said to be quite good-looking."

Zhao Junning looked at Xiao Yufu. Although she said this with a smile, tears were in her eyes. However, she was not qualified to say anything to help her. "Princess, have you made up your mind?" Zhao Junning asked.

Xiao Yufu nodded: "For the sake of the Great Wei and the people of the world, everything I have comes from them, and I should protect them."

Zhao Junning looked at Xiao Yufu. She felt that Xiao Yufu was a good princess. Although she was willful, she knew what to do and what not to do.

Zhao Junning toasted Xiao Yufu with tea instead of wine, "In that case, I will toast the princess with tea instead of wine."

Xiao Yufu nodded, "Zhao Junning, I don't hate you, I just... I don't want to accept it. When I saw you being pushed into the dry well by them when I was a child, I actually thought about helping you, but I didn't have any friends when I was a child. I was afraid that if I helped you, Wang Xuan and Gao Xue would no longer want to be friends with me. I really don't hate you, but you always make me feel that it's hard to approach you. It was my fault twice in Yangzhou and Liangzhou that I almost hurt you. I really reflected on it, but I didn't do it again."

Zhao Junning said after hearing this: "You said it was something from the past. I can't choose to forgive you after all I was really hurt, but don't mention it again in the future."

Xiao Yufu continued, "Zhao Junning, I actually don't understand why you are so proud. Now I know that you are not proud, but because you are such a person, a person who makes people feel at ease. You and Li Ziyan are both such people who make people feel at ease."

Then Xiao Yufu touched Zhao Junning's belly and said, "Zhao Junning, I sincerely wish you happiness and good health."

Qin Mansion, "Brother, why do you want me to go to Yangzhou?" Qin Zhuoxi asked.

Qin Zhuoyuan said, "You know how smart Jun Ning and Li Ziyan are. Now that Zhao Jun Ning has calmed down, how long do you think it will take them to find out the cause of Meng Xiangning's death? Jun Ning is a person who will avenge her grudges. All the officials in Yangzhou are mine now. You are safe there."

Qin Zhuoxi was puzzled, "But didn't you say you still wanted to kill Meng Chongjing?"

Qin Zhuoyuan said: "Kill him and let him go first."

Qin Zhuoxi shook her head: "Brother, I don't give up halfway. I want her, Zhao Junning, to also have a taste of what it's like to lose her mother's family. Since we're going back to Yangzhou, I'll listen to you. Qingzhou is very close to Yangzhou. When I go to Qingzhou, I'm going to make sure no one in the Meng family survives."

Qin Zhuoyuan shook his head as he watched Qin Zhuoxi fail to be persuaded. However, Qin Zhao outside the door was startled as he listened to his children's conversation.

A month later, "Yongzhou is now controlled by Yu Yuanqing. He has more than a hundred officials of Yongzhou, big and small. Now he has begun to attack Jingzhou. What do you think, my dear ministers? There is also a small movement on the border." Xiao Xuanjing asked.

Xu Gong said: "Your Majesty, I think if you want to settle the civil unrest, you must put it down, but you can't ignore the three border states. I think General Zhao, General Shangguan and General Li Xiang should guard the border, and Yu Yuanqing, I think Your Majesty can personally choose."

Xiao Xuanjing nodded and looked at Li Ziyan; "My dear Li, what do you think?"

Li Ziyan said: "I think what Prime Minister Xu said makes sense."

Xiao Xuanjing nodded, "Li Ziyan and Xu Wenhe, listen to your orders."

"The minister is here."

"I order the three of you to quell this group of rebels, and order Shangguan Kou, Zhao Junhao, and Li Xiang to guard the border."
