Chapter 72: What Crown Princess?
After taking a few simple bites, Xiao Jingyang put down his chopsticks.
"Old Li Tou! Find some rogues these days and go to the Min'an Inn and keep an eye on them for me."
"Min'an Inn?" The old beggar frowned slightly and raised his head to glance at Xiao Jingyang.
"Your Majesty! The people currently living in that post house are the marriage team sent by Nanchu and others."
"Why are you staring at them?"
This old beggar’s surname was Li. Xiao Jingyang didn’t know his name. He only knew that he was a military householder. He had been a soldier for decades. As a result, he became disabled and the tendon in his right hand was picked. After returning to Jinling City, with this
With decades of skills, he has gradually become the leader of the gangsters in Jinling City. Basically, it can be said that he is the boss of the underworld in this land.
When Xiao Jingyang first met him, he was already looking like a beggar, lying on the ground in tatters. The old injury on his hand had not healed at that time, and his whole person was very decadent.
Xiao Jingyang was only five years old at that time and had a soft heart, so he took him to the hospital for treatment and bought him some food.
It is because of this incident that the two people have become friends forever.
Later, when the old beggar learned that Xiao Jingyang was from the royal family, he changed his title and kept calling him His Royal Highness, but there was still no sense of distance between the two.
"I definitely have something to do. Oh, don't worry, I won't take any chances." Xiao Jingyang picked up a chopstick of chicken, took a bite, and said with a smile:
"You still don't believe in my current martial arts skills?"
"Do you really want to find someone to stare at?" the old beggar asked.
"Yeah! Definitely!" Xiao Jingyang nodded.
"Okay! If they have any trouble during this period, I will send someone to inform you."
"Thank you! It's getting late. I have to go home. If I don't go back, my mother will be in a hurry."
Xiao Jingyang glanced outside and found that it was already dark. He put down his chopsticks, stood up and said.
"Okay, slow down on the road! Don't fall when you jump." The old beggar said with a smile.
"How can my Qinggong be so bad? Tsk!"
Xiao Jingyang was dissatisfied, but with a smile on his face, he left the alley.
After Xiao Jingyang left, the old beggar looked at a sloppily dressed little beggar standing aside.
"My dear, please ask your good friends to go over there and take a look in the past few days. If you see someone in very luxurious clothes walking out, follow him, and then ask someone to tell the prince."
"In the past few days, you have had roast chicken to eat every night when you come back."
"Really?" This little beggar's name is Liu San. He is only about twelve or thirteen years old. He lost his parents and suffered a lot since he was a child. Later, under the protection of the old beggar, he grew up peacefully in this alley.
"Of course it's true." The old beggar said with a smile:
“And it’s a roast chicken per person.”
"I know!" Liu San stood up with a smile and ran out to find his friends happily.
For this kind of thing, letting children do it may have unexpected results.
At least they wouldn't suspect these kids were following them.
"Isn't this kid going to do something he shouldn't do?" The old beggar murmured to himself, then changed his mind and started eating food and wine again.
Xiao Jingyang returned home at the final time set by Princess Ji for him to return home.
As soon as she entered the door, she was pulled in front of Princess Ji by the maid.
"Kneel down!"
"Tell me about you. Such a big thing happened yesterday. How dare you run out? You stayed out for another day."
"Uh...!" Xiao Jingyang was kneeling on the ground. Now he didn't dare to raise his head, let alone say a word in reply. No matter how powerful your martial arts is, bloodline suppression will directly crush you to death. Do you still want to jump?
Even if I haven’t woken up from the dream.
"What are you doing again today? Ah? Why are you running out every day during this period? Yesterday you were involved in this kind of thing. Ah, yes, you and Xiao Jingrui are friends and you went to celebrate his birthday. How could you?
I understand, but in the situation you were in yesterday, why didn’t you leave?”
"It was too late when you came back yesterday, and your father didn't tell me, so I didn't ask you about it."
"You dare to run out to play today? You want to piss your mother off, right?"
"Just because you have learned some Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, you are now upright, right? You can take care of all the other things, right?"
"Have you ever thought about what happened to you? What would your mother do? What would your father do?"
"Speak! Are you mute?"
The more Princess Ji talked, the more angry she became. She even brought up the old accounts from last night. She sat down suddenly and slammed the tea cup on her hand to the ground.
The tea splashed and a small part stuck to Xiao Jingyang's body.
Xiao Jingyang coughed twice and smiled awkwardly.
I didn't expect that my mother would be so angry. My father didn't do the logistics well.
"Laughing? Do you still dare to laugh?" After the scolding, the anger in Princess Ji's heart had dissipated a little, but when she saw Xiao Jingyang actually laughing, she became even more angry.
Xiao Jingyang immediately put away his smiling face. He must not offend her now. If he is an angry mother, whoever offends will suffer.
Xiao Jingyang knelt in silence for nearly ten minutes. Princess Ji did not leave. She was sitting in her position. Although her face was still a little unsightly, it was not so serious anymore.
"Mom!!!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Jingyang sweetly called Princess Ji.
"Hey! Don't be angry. Every mistake is my fault. Don't let yourself get so angry."
"Are you still afraid of making me angry? I think you want to make me angry to death!" Princess Ji glanced at me angrily and said lightly.
"How could it be? The one I, Xiao Jingyang, love the most is my mother. Even my father has to be pushed to the back." Xiao Jingyang thought for a moment and felt that it was almost time to stand up. He stood up quietly.
Then he quietly moved to his mother's side, pressed her shoulders, and used the opportunity to release some of Xiyang's internal energy to improve his mother's physical condition.
Princess Ji felt her body gradually relax, a comfortable warmth flowed into her body from her shoulders, her brows gradually relaxed, and then she took a long breath.
"Don't get into such dangerous things again in the future. I only have a son like you. Your brother left me when I was young. You are my only treasure. I can't lose you again."
Xiao Jingyang nodded. When he heard this, he felt a great fluctuation in his heart. The father and mother in this world were really good to him. Even Xiao Jingyang didn't know how to repay this love.
"I know mother, I will never leave you. I still have to support you in your old age and live happily with you."
"Alas! I hope you can remember what you said today." The anger in Princess Ji's heart finally dissipated, she patted Xiao Jingyang's hand and said softly.
"Yeah! I'll remember that."
The mother and son enjoyed the tranquility for a while, and suddenly Princess Ji seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Tomorrow I will go out to choose the concubine for you. If you have someone you like in your heart, tell mother now, otherwise mother will decide these things for you."
