Tyrannical Wang’s Beloved Wife
chapter-391-3

Former Wei’s first prince lightly smiled, not answering, instead introducing them to one another, “This is Qi Yuan’s third imperial prince, already conferred as a qinwang, his bestowed title Rui. This is my younger sister, the di princess born from the Empress, her bestowed title Yi Ning.”

“Greetings to Rui Qinwang.” She curtsied, her eyes carrying ripples, yet also as if containing a smile.

Li Hong Ming’s mind flashed with a peculiarity, yet on his face, there wasn’t the slightest sign, “Princess Yi Ning is too polite.” The smile on his face was neither too much nor too little, carrying an elegant bearing of a gentleman, “In this prince’s view, first prince doesn’t need to decline. For us, as grown men, it may not matter, but princess has always been delicate, so it’s better to rest for a night. Imperial father is a benevolent ruler, so absolutely won’t think that Great Wei’s envoys are being rude.” Former Wei has never recognized this title given by outsiders and has always referred to themselves as Great Wei. When giving face, others also just addressed according to their wishes.

Princess Yi Ning seemingly had a puzzled look in her eyes, and also a bit helpless.

“This……….” Former Wei’s first prince still wished to say something.

“From how this prince sees it, let’s just settle it like this. The inn has already been appropriately put in order. If there’s anything you feel that’s not proper, feel free to speak up.” Li Hong Ming aptly seized the opportunity to speak first.

“Since that’s the case, one might as well comply than to be modest.” Don’t know if it was really because of Princess Yi Ning, or just feeling that there was no meaning in continuing to argue, after all, this was someone else’s territory. The Former Wei’s first prince withdrew a step in compromise.

As such, it can be considered to be to everyone’s delight and satisfaction. Li Hong Ming also no longer continued following, letting the people of Hong Lu Office receive them, while he entered the palace to report to Le Cheng Emperor.

After Former Wei’s emissaries entered the capital and reached the inn, the matters during this period, Le Cheng Emperor already learned in advance. Right now, what he wanted to know was Li Hong Ming’s thoughts and feelings after the initial confrontation. And Li Hong Ming just used a few words to summarize: ‘The visitors do not carry good intentions.’

Moreover, Li Hong Ming from beginning to end all didn’t see the other prince, and the Former Wei’s first prince just brushed over with a line of ‘one’s younger brother is stubborn and mischievous’, no longer mentioning another word.

However, there was one thing that can be certain, and that was that this prince definitely entered Qi Yuan’s capital together with the Former Wei’s envoys, just don’t know where the person ran off to at this time. It was obvious, either it was just another one that didn’t act according to common sense, or this was a deliberate act, wanting to use the opportunity to first scout out Qi Yuan’s situation.

Towards this kind of situation, it’s not like Qi Yuan didn’t consider before, but they never thought that it would be the other party’s prince personally going to do this kind of thing.

Since from the start, they just didn’t have the person kept under watch, then at this time, if one wants to look for the person, it will certainly be very difficult, especially if the other party were to deliberately hide their tracks, acting alone on their own, then within a short frame of time, further don’t think about finding him. After all, Former Wei and Qi Yuan’s culture and traditions were for the most part identical. If one were to randomly change into some inconspicuous clothes, in addition to the entire capital being that big, to want to look for someone was definitely just fishing for a needle in the ocean, and will be exceptionally difficult.

Le Cheng Emperor and them felt vexed. Although the Former Wei’s prince was asking around in the capital, it’s not like he can find out anything special. After all, actual classified information won’t pass on to the public, and places that weren’t for the public, he simply wasn’t able to enter, so unable find out information. Thinking of it like this, there seemingly wasn’t anything to worry about. However, this wasn’t really the case. After all, that was another country’s prince. If something were to happen to him in Qi Yuan’s capital, it will lead to diplomatic tension between the two countries.

That’s why, towards this kind of person that didn’t act according to the rules, no matter where they go, it’ll all make others bitterly detest.

Even so, it was still best to have the person found as soon as possible. Le Cheng Emperor massaged his brows, passing down the word, letting the City Defense Squad look for the person.

How to look for him if they don’t recognize him?

Heh, never mind Le Cheng Emperor, even quite a few court officials coldly sneered. Looking for the person was nothing more than putting on an act. If he really were to encounter something, as long as he doesn’t die, then that was just deservedly so. Who let you run off on your own? The people of Qi Yuan had problems with their moral character, bullying a foreigner? Really sorry, Qi Yuan has always been a country of etiquette. Under normal circumstances, they were all cordial and hospitable, but if someone were to provoke them first, then the people of Qi Yuan weren’t pushovers either, able to be bullied by any random person.

That’s why, if something really were to happen, that was also your own problem.

And where was that Former Wei prince? This while, he was indeed strolling around the capital. Compared to what they’d expected, he was actually much more high profile, bringing along four bodyguards, while he himself was also quite eye-catching. That height for the most part caught up to Li Hong Yuan, having a pair of long legs, while his eyes slightly carried a bit of blue. It was obvious that he also had in him a foreign bloodline.

In comparison, Qi Yuan’s capital was already very cold. Clothes that were two to three layers thick were already the norm. Those who had slightly weaker constitutions were already dressed in thin cotton-padded clothes. However, this prince clearly was just wearing one layer of clothes. His waist was tightly bounded, but his collar was wide open, even able to see a large patch of powerful muscles. And his entire body, from head to toe, all filled with a sense of power, completely not feeling cold. In addition to his out of the ordinary appearance, he naturally very much attracted attention.

Clearly, he was most likely used to being at the center of attention. Along the way, he didn’t feel the slightest discomfort. Seeing there were fruits for sale, he just casually took some. Because at a glance, one could just tell he wasn’t ordinary, that peddler, on one hand felt fearful, yet on the other hand also wanted money. After all, for people like them, life wasn’t easy.

However, the bodyguard following behind, at this time, threw a piece of sliver over. That peddler flusteredly caught the silver. That piece, at a glance, one just knew was worth at least two taels. Truthfully speaking, those fruits on his stand, even if all given out, it still won’t be worth this much silver. That was also an honest person, speaking bluntly that he was unable to find the change.

However, that bodyguard just coldly sneered, a look of disdain towards the poor, “No need to find, it’s your reward.” Shortly after, he just continued following after his master.

Generally speaking, to be able to earn silver, it naturally made one happy, but the other party’s attitude was like as if it wasn’t giving to a person, but rather brushing off a stinkbug. That was a kind of extreme insult towards someone. The peddler was also an upright person, honestly earning money. One has to know, in this kind of weather, it wasn’t easy to obtain fruits. He’d gone through painstaking efforts to finally get these. He also had a good conscience, not selling them at an especially high price. Yet, right now, holding this piece of silver, his eyes reddened from anger.

But, in the end, this was silver, so one can’t just randomly toss.

The peddler stood in place for a while. The people near him were probably familiar with him, towards his temper, still somewhat understanding. They wanted to urge him to let it go and not have a hard time over money.

However, the peddler very resolutely let someone help him watch his stand for a moment, and afterwards, headed to the nearest bank. It wasn’t that big of a bank, not really targeted towards the upper class. Ordinary citizens occasionally would go to exchange money and were all politely received.

The peddler went in, requesting to have the silver exchanged into copper coins. One tael of silver was worth one thousand copper coins. This was the common conversion rate. However, when actually exchanging in a bank, one tael of silver converts into one thousand copper coins, but if you want to have copper coins changed into silver, then you need at least one thousand one hundred coins in order to be able to exchange for a tael of silver.

He just happened to have two taels of silver, exchanging into two thousand coins. Going in he had a small piece, yet coming out, it was a big bag. The peddler returned to his own stand, just extracting a few copper coins that he deservedly earned, the rest entirely wrapping up. Then, letting someone help him watch over for a while, from the looks of it, this was wanting to have the money returned?

Originally, he just needed to have the silver broken down. Just exchanging half a tael was already more than enough, and also more convenient to carry. To have it all exchanged, sure enough, he really was angered.

However, another person also took a fruit from his stand. Of course, the other party also threw down a few copper coins, opening his mouth as he bit the fruit, “This is wanting to have the money returned? Give it to me, I’ll help you. ———–Alright, alright, put away that suspicious look of yours. This young master, even if not having money, still wouldn’t go as far as to take that bit of money from you. This young master merely finds those people unpleasant to the eyes.” As he said this, he dragged a person over, “This is my family’s guard, keep him as collateral. Once this young master has the money returned, this young master will come back for the person.” The fruit had already gotten gnawed clean. Having the core in hand tossed, he grabbed the money bag, quickly heading in the direction a certain prince departed in. Since he was that ostentatious, then one didn’t fear not being able to find him.
