Chapter 84: They Became Troublemakers

Aha?

Queen Ye’s sister Ye Qingtong?
This……

Shen Qingtang subconsciously glanced at Emperor Yu Ji. This little girl was his real sister-in-law.

“You——” What do you think?
However, before she could finish her words, Emperor Yu Ji gently pinched her palm.

……What does it mean?
Shen Qingtang blinked and found that Emperor Yu Ji was looking outside the crowd.

Those phoenix eyes were as quiet as a cold pond.

Outside the crowd, there were people he disliked.

Shen Qingtang followed his line of sight and looked outside the crowd, but found that with her height, she could only see various black hair tops, and she could not see anything outside the crowd at all.

Their silence seemed to the little maid in green skirt to be due to their fear of their identities and backgrounds.

"Are you scared now?" After glancing at Shen Qingtang, she looked at the lantern owner with a proud look on her face, "What? Do you still insist on selling this lantern as a riddle?"

"You have to think carefully. If she guesses three more questions correctly, you can only make a profit of one or two taels of silver from this lantern. But if you sell it to my young lady, you can get much more than one or two taels of silver. I'm sure you know which is more important, boss?"

After saying that, the little maid in green skirt looked at Ye Qingtong with a look of seeking credit.

"Miss, no one is worthy of owning this lantern except you." Her young lady is such a noble person, and any smart person should curry favor with her young lady.

What's more, they are not taking it by force.

Obviously, the little maid's method of using her power to overpower others was deeply approved by Ye Qingtong.

"Danlu is going to get the silver. My brother and His Royal Highness Prince Jing are still waiting for us outside." With her status, why should she care about what others think?

However, what was unexpected was that when Danlu obeyed the order to take the silver, the lantern owner fearlessly refused again.

"No, no, we businessmen have always valued honesty. If you want this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon Lantern, you can only get it by answering questions."

After saying that, the lantern shop owner glanced at Ye Qingtong with a playful look, and his chubby white face smiled with a look of harmony and wealth.

"Miss Ye, you are the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. I'm sure you won't force a sale with your status, right?"

What a lantern owner who is not afraid of power!

Shen Qingtang, who was trying to stand on tiptoe to look outside, couldn't help but look at him in surprise after hearing the voice of the flower shop owner.

This lantern shop owner is truly an amazing person!

With just this one glance, Shen Qingtang, who had forgotten that he was still standing on tiptoe to watch the show, suddenly staggered and almost fell into Emperor Yu Ji's arms.

"Be careful not to sprain your ankle." Emperor Yuji held the man in his arms, "Are you curious about him?"

Shen Qingtang nodded. "Although we met by chance, I can see that this man is extremely greedy for money. I thought he would succumb to power, but I didn't expect——"

He is such a professional person.

This really shocked her.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingtang couldn't help but whisper to Emperor Yu Ji.

"Could he have some hidden identity?"

Emperor Yu Ji lowered his eyes, and his deep and cold phoenix eyes suddenly became softer when they fell on Shen Qingtang.

"What do you think his identity is?"

Shen Qingtang shook his head, "Tang'er doesn't know. But——"

Shen Qingtang paused, glanced at the lantern owner, and continued talking to Emperor Yuji.

"According to Tang'er's guess, even if he is not of extraordinary status, he should have a different backer behind him. Otherwise, Tang'er really can't figure out where he got the confidence to reject Miss Ye so ruthlessly." It was more than just a rejection. His last sentence was no exaggeration to say that it was sarcastic.

Didn’t you see that Ye Qingtong’s face turned green and red after hearing what the lantern owner said? !
Ye Qingtong suppressed his anger and glared at the lantern owner.

"You have a second Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon?" This is simply impossible!
As far as she knew, Master Wang only made one lantern every year, so there would never be a second Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon lantern.

Sure enough, the lantern owner waved his hand.

"Miss Ye, you are joking. Master Wang only produces one lantern every year. How can I have a second lantern?"

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, Ye Qingtong became even angrier, and her white finger pointed at Shen Qingtang.

“Since there is no second lantern, she has already answered seven riddles. If she answers the remaining three riddles correctly, then this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon lantern will belong to her alone! ” It would be fine if she didn’t see Master Wang’s lantern this year, but since she has seen it, she must get it!
"This..." The lantern owner spread his hands, "Maybe this lantern is meant to be with her?"

After saying that, the lantern owner looked at Shen Qingtang with a smile despite Ye Qingtong's angry gaze.

"Girl, there are three questions left. Do you want to continue answering them?"

"continue--"

"no!"

Before Shen Qingtang could finish his words, Ye Qingtong interrupted him angrily.

"I can give you money, but you are not allowed to continue answering questions!"

……

Ye Qingtong came in for a while.

Her Royal Highness Prince Jing and her brother Ye Ziyuan, who were waiting outside, couldn't help but look into the crowd.

"I went to buy a lantern. How come you haven't come out for so long?"

Ye Ziyuan frowned and was about to ask the servant beside him to go find Ye Qingtong, but Xie Chengze, the Prince of Jing, who was standing next to him, just looked at the lantern shop, and his fox eyes, which were dotted with a small blood-red mole, suddenly narrowed slightly.

With a "swish" sound, Prince Jing's wrist moved slightly, and the folding fan with the words "free as the wind" inscribed on it was suddenly closed by him, and the handle of the fan pointed directly at Emperor Yuji who was in the crowd.

"Ziyuan, that person looks familiar."

"The one with the girl in his arms and the mask on his face?"

Following the direction pointed by His Royal Highness Prince Jing, Ye Ziyuan immediately saw Emperor Yu Ji, who stood out among the crowd.

"He looks somewhat familiar, but I don't know who he is." Ye Ziyuan's eyes flashed slightly.

In fact, he had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to jump to conclusions for the time being.

Prince Jing's eyes moved slightly, and the small blood-red mole under his eye sparkled like a red plum blossom under the snow.

"Whether he is an acquaintance or not, we will know after a quick inquiry." Prince Jing looked at Ye Ziyuan, curled his lips and smiled, "Ziyuan, what do you think?"

"If it's true, I'm afraid it's..." Ye Ziyuan frowned.

Seeing his hesitation, Prince Jing opened the fan with a swish of his wrist and wrote "Free as the Wind" on the fan. In the evening breeze, the ink bamboo suddenly surged, and as it swayed, it seemed as if fallen leaves were falling by his ears.

"If Ziyuan is worried, I will go ahead."

After saying this, he walked gracefully towards the lantern shop under Ye Ziyuan's hesitant gaze.

As he left, Ye Ziyuan's face darkened, and no matter how hesitant he was, he could only quickly catch up with Prince Jing.

At the same time that Ye Ziyuan caught up with Prince Jing, Danlu, who had finally squeezed out of the crowd, rushed to them with an excited look on her face.

"Your Highness Prince Jing, Master Ziyuan, if there are villains bullying the young lady, you two must stand up for her~~"
