Chapter 326: The Green Tea Bitch and the Powerful Regent (26)
One by one, the officials turned around and immediately gave their children a warning, saying that it was not easy for them to get to this point, and they must not let any mistakes happen again because of their children.
After Yun Jingxing finished making arrangements, he couldn't wait to rush to the big tent.
He had just learned from Yun Er that the girl had woken up. He was extremely anxious and rushed here without stopping.
Walking into the tent, he saw the girl leaning on the couch, concentrating on reading a book. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xue'er, how do you feel? Are you still feeling bad?"
Yan Xue shook her head gently: "It's okay, I'm fine."
Yun Jingxing considered his words in his mind for a while before speaking: "Xue'er, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position today, but that Lord Zhang has been in the court for forty years, has many disciples and a huge influence..."
Yan Xue smiled slightly and interrupted him: "I don't blame you, I know your difficulties."
Yun Jingxing was deeply moved when he heard this, and held the girl's hand tightly: "Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any grievances. If you can't do it openly, let's do it secretly!"
Yan Xue chuckled and nodded: "I believe you."
Just this simple response made Yun Jingxing feel as sweet as honey, and he began to play with the girl's slender fingers unconsciously.
"Xue'er, I've thought about it, and I still feel a little uneasy. For your safety, I have arranged four secret guards by your side." Yun Jingxing looked at Yan Xue seriously and said.
"Oh?" Yan Xue raised her eyebrows. In fact, she had already noticed that there were always two secret guards following her, but since Yun Jingxing didn't mention it, she pretended not to know.
"They are all my former personal guards. They are very skilled and smart, and they will protect you well.
You don't need to worry about anything at ordinary times, they will hide in the dark to protect you.
If you are in danger or need help, just shout.
If you want something to eat, ask them to go get it.”
"Okay then, thank you!" Yan Xue nodded with a smile. It would be nice to have a few more errands to run.
Yun Jingxing waved his hand, "There's no need to thank each other.
Yun Er: He trained in the secret guard special training camp for five years, was it just to buy snacks for the princess?
"Come here, all of you." As soon as Yun Jingxing finished speaking, Yan Xue saw four men in black appear in front of her. The four men stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Princess."
The corners of Yan Xue's mouth twitched, "No need to be polite."
Yun Jingxing said again, "This is Yun Er, Yun San, Yun Si, and Yun Wu. They will be responsible for protecting you from now on. If there is anything, just send them to do it as soon as possible."
Yan Xue nodded.
Yun Si and Yun Wu also looked at the woman in front of them curiously. They had been away for half a year, and the prince actually had a princess.
But the two of them quickly lowered their heads again. They had already felt the cold air blowing from the prince.
This princess is so beautiful. The girl they brought, Miss An, was already very beautiful, but this one is much more beautiful than Miss An.
For the next two days, everything was calm.
However, the way everyone looked at the second young lady of the Yan family changed, and there was more awe and respect in their eyes.
After Fang Yiran heard about what happened in Zhang Ge Lao's family, she was trembling with fear.
She didn't expect that an official as high as Zhang Ge Lao would be dismissed just like that. She secretly felt lucky that she didn't do anything.
Before, Zhang Ying'er had always been extremely arrogant among the noble ladies, like a colorful peacock, looking down on everyone. Unexpectedly, she would end up like this.
She bit her lip. When she entered the palace as a concubine, even if Yan Xue was the regent princess, she would still need to pay her respects. Thinking of this, she felt much better.
The Queen Mother also learned the news about the hunting ground outside the capital. She sneered and said, "Serves him right."
Five days later, everyone returned to the capital, and the talent show began in full swing.
Since Yan Xue is already engaged, she naturally doesn't need to run for the election. As for Dong Zhenzhen, she was also engaged when she was young, so she doesn't need to run for the election either.
The two of them would get together when they had nothing to do and listen to the maids and servants talking about the excitement outside.
After one and two rounds of screening, beauties from all over the country rushed to the capital. For a time, the capital was extremely bustling. In the end, 500 beauties entered the palace to participate in the selection.
However, these beauties were not able to see the emperor at all.
They were now lined up in an orderly queue, waiting shyly for the maids to examine them.
Women with scars, birthmarks, moles, body odor, or who did not know how to trim their fingernails and toenails, or who had smelly hair, walked in an ungentlemanly manner, or had a heavy accent were eliminated.
As a result, after three days of rigorous screening, only fifty beauties were left.
Next, they will receive a month-long training in the palace.
The training was carried out by maids and court teachers invited from the palace, who taught them various etiquette norms.
In fact, the queen had already chosen her favorite candidate, Nalan Xiu.
Her grandfather commanded an army of 200,000 in southern Xinjiang, her father, Nalan Yuan, was currently the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and her maternal grandfather held an important position in the cabinet.
If Nalan Xiu could become the queen, she would undoubtedly become a capable assistant to the emperor.
But these have nothing to do with Yan Xue. She has rarely gone out during this period of time.
Yun Jingxing's four secret guards were reduced to chores.
Today the girl wanted to eat osmanthus cake from East Street, so Yun Er went there quickly. Tomorrow the girl wanted to eat buns from Li Ji, so Yun San ran there... Anyway, they do different things every day.
Yun Er gritted his teeth. He knew that these things were not arranged by Miss Yan Er, but by that fat girl, and her purpose was to torment them.
Everyone knows that everything they bought went into the mouths of the four maids.
It’s strange. I’ve never seen that fat girl eat, but she’s so fat. She deserves to be unable to get married.
"Baoya, what do you want us to do this time?" Yun Er looked at the little fat boy in front of him helplessly, secretly groaning in his heart.
"My young lady said that she wants to eat roast duck from the restaurant at the West Street entrance today. You should go buy one!" Bao Ya said with a smile, completely ignoring the expression on Yun Er's face.
"West Street Crossing is not close to here!" Yun Er couldn't help but complain.
"Just go if I tell you to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Bao Ya glared at him, turned and left.
After all, the four maids around Yan Xue avoided the difference between men and women and seldom had contact with the four secret guards. It was basically Bao Ya who interacted with them.
Every time they saw Baoya proudly commanding the four secret guards, they couldn't help but laugh.
Yun Er had also been wary of Bao Ya. After all, the little fat girl didn't look threatening, but for a daughter who ran a martial arts school, her kung fu was so good, which made him have to be cautious.
The last time they were attacked in the hunting ground, he saw with his own eyes this fat girl fighting against ten people alone, leaving those famous killers from Fengxue Pavilion without any chance of fighting back.
To be honest, he sometimes really wanted to exchange ideas with Bao Ya, but he was afraid that his princess would be unhappy, so he had to give up.
