Chapter 533 The Eldest Princess is Not Love-Obsessed (6)
“Young Master Xie, I am sincerely seeking knowledge, and my presence by His Highness’s side is with His Majesty’s permission,” Jiang Che said without backing down.
"Then let's rely on our own abilities." Xie Jinyan said no more.
After that, when they set off again, there were three more people in the group.
Wangyou is still the same as always; she occasionally accepts new things, but she can't stick with them for long.
The most obvious impression everyone got was that Wangyou was becoming increasingly indifferent to life. In the past, she would be moved when she saw someone living a miserable life, but now she was completely unmoved and would no longer give orders to others.
However, Xie Jinyan and Jiang Che are quite a pair of lively characters. They bicker and joke around all the way to compete for Wangyou's attention, so it wasn't too boring.
At the end of the year, they received a message from Qi Xiu, and the group headed to the capital.
At the New Year's banquet, Wangyou also met the envoys from the other three kingdoms. Just as they had expected, the three kingdoms had indeed come with ill intentions.
Who would be so kind as to give someone a giant black bear as a gift? Or a huge, ferocious brown bear that has seen human blood?
However, the envoy certainly didn't get any benefit, because Xie Jinyan made a move, which could be considered a pledge of loyalty. The brown bear didn't even last a single round against Xie Jinyan before it died.
"A mere brown bear, worthy of being a tribute from my Great Wei? But the bear paws should taste quite good, so I'll send them to the kitchen." Xie Jinyan left these words after killing the brown bear, which nearly made the Korean envoy faint with anger.
Qi Xiulong was overjoyed, his eyes shining as he looked at Xie Jinyan, but why did this kid look so familiar?
If he couldn't figure it out, Qi Xiu stopped thinking about it. When faced with a problem, he would rather make things difficult for others than make things difficult for himself.
When Xie Jinyan looked up at Qi Xiu, he felt that Qi Xiu looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
As the banquet ended, the envoys from the other three kingdoms left looking dejected, and Xie Jinyan finally remembered who Qi Xiu was when she saw his face again.
Qi Xiu looks almost exactly like his unkempt second grandfather, but the current Qi Xiu looks much more refreshed than his second grandfather in the photo.
Then, Xie Jinyan found an opportunity to tell Wangyou that in addition to being good at brewing wine, he could also make some firearms. He already had finished products, and he wanted to mass-produce these things. He needed His Majesty's support, which was also a small token of his appreciation as a citizen of the Great Wei.
After testing its power, Wangyou tossed Xie Jinyan a token, saying, "With this token, you can freely enter and leave the palace."
"Thank you, young lady." Xie Jinyan accepted the token, tidied herself up, and then went to the palace.
Upon entering the palace, Xie Jinyan abruptly spoke up: "Imperial Jade Liquor!"
"One hundred and eighty per cup," Qi Xiu replied casually.
"How are you doing?"
"Let me tell you how to play it."
"How did Xie family patriarch Wangyou disappear?"
"The car drove off a cliff by itself."
"Second Grandfather".
"It's you, kid! You've grown so much!"
Qi Xiu also recognized Xie Jinyan, and the grandfather and grandson were speechless for a moment.
"Second Grandfather, do you know about my little aunt's situation?"
"How could I not know? But I've tried many methods, and all to no avail," Qi Xiu said with a sigh.
"So, are we just going to watch helplessly as our little aunt goes down the same old path again?"
"I don't know. All I can do is support her. Besides, I can sense that she's not an ordinary person. Deep down, she must have someone she cares about a lot."
"Sigh, I thought you'd have a solution." Xie Jinyan was speechless when she heard that Qi Xiu was also helpless.
"Let's not talk about that. How did you end up here?"
"I went to pay respects at my great-aunt's grave, and then I ended up here. How did you get here?"
"They came after they died!"
Since we're all family, there's no need for any political maneuvering. Qi Xiu was good at making money before he transmigrated, and he's still good at it now. He doesn't know much about mechanics, but since his grand-nephew has come, he can just leave it to him.
After the imperial examinations concluded, the top scholar was paraded through the streets.
Unable to resist Xie Jinyan and Jiang Che's constant nagging, Wangyou had no choice but to go out with them to watch the top scholar's parade.
Upon arriving at the destination, it turned out that the top scholar was none other than the Marquis of Yong'an, the one who appeared for a few seconds and was described by the system as the person destined for greatness.
But now it doesn't look that great. It seems the system is blind when it takes things.
However, Wangyou and the others soon heard about the story of the top scholar seeking a husband. This top scholar had actually recommended himself and was going to ask for the Prime Minister's eldest daughter's hand in marriage. In Wangyou's opinion, he must have been after her status and wealth. After all, the Yong'an Marquis's mansion was so poor that all that was left was a plaque, and the Prime Minister probably wouldn't agree.
However, the prime minister was clever, but he couldn't stand having a daughter who was biased towards outsiders. She insisted on marrying the Marquis of Yong'an with a large dowry, after crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
Not long after, the prime minister directly submitted a memorial to retire and return to his hometown, taking his wife, children, and elderly parents far away from the capital.
Later, the Yong'an Marquis's mansion became quite lively. One day the old lady wanted to eat bird's nest, the next day the young lady wanted new jewelry, and the day after that the Yong'an Marquis said he needed to bribe officials. In short, they wanted to spend all of the girl's dowry.
"Young lady, has this person been cursed?"
"Who knows?" Wangyou wasn't very interested in these things. These days, she did nothing but sunbathe and look at the sky all day.
Although Wangyou said she wasn't interested, Xie Jinyan still sent someone to keep an eye on her. Although being love-struck is terrible, she's also a pitiful person. If she can come to her senses, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand.
To Xie Jinyan's disappointment, the girl never realized her mistake and was tortured to death by the Yong'an Marquis's family. Her last thought was that she could finally get all the love she wanted!
Xie Jinyan was stunned when he found out. Later, after checking the records of the secret guards, he found that the girl seemed to be a reincarnated person, but it seemed that the reincarnation did not increase her intelligence.
Wangyou eventually closed her eyes on a sunny afternoon, at the age of 17.
After her soul left the body, Wangyou quickly awoke and saw that Pangu was about to throw her into the small world.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"You, you're awake? Why did you suddenly wake up?"
"Brother, if I don't wake up soon, where are you going to throw me?"
"Let me examine your romantic feelings first."
"That's all, no need to check anymore."
"How could this happen? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"Brother, what are you worried about?" Wangyou asked, puzzled.
"I'm worried you'll lose control."
“Brother, how could I lose control? I initially traveled through the Three Thousand Worlds just to have fun. Later, I wanted to find you. Although we have only met once, brother, I know everything you have done to protect the Three Thousand Worlds. How could I destroy it with my own hands!”
"But the root of love is gone."
"Brother, how can my life be confined by a mere romantic attachment? Besides, nothing can be built without destruction!" Wangyou said with a smile.
