Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Even though there was a prince and an imperial uncle in their group, clothes make the man, so when they asked the waiter to buy clothes for them, he only told them to pick those that fit well and were comfortable to wear. Therefore, the waiter naturally would not choose those made of luxurious and fine materials.

Besides, even if the waiter wants to buy good things, he has to spend a lot of money. If you only give him two hundred taels, can the waiter give you money?

However, a few people were walking on the road and unexpectedly met a nobleman riding in a gorgeous sedan chair inlaid with pearls, jade and gems. He fell in love with a beautiful woman selling cabbages on the roadside.

It's truly an ancient version of the bloody plot of a domineering president falling in love with me.

If Lin Xiaoyue had been there at that time, she would have definitely taken everyone away early, but at that moment, she was selecting a bunch of rouge and powder in the powder shop nearby with Xiaocao and Chunxing.

This is useful to her.

When the three of them came out with a big bag of rouge and powder, they happened to see the woman hugging the prince's "golden thigh" tightly, crying and complaining about how unreasonable and bullying the man riding on the Fugui Bridge was...

Lin Xiaoyue, Xiaocao and Chunxing: Oh my! They just left for a while, how come these men were involved in such a big drama?

The three of them looked at each other, quickly took out their melon seeds and hid aside to watch the show, with no intention of stepping forward to help.

All that was heard was the woman with willow-like eyebrows, wearing a light pink embroidered jacket and a long skirt of the same color, hugging the prince's thighs tightly and crying. She said she was just selling cabbages on the street, but the official who was riding the bridge came up and did not give her any explanation. He ordered his followers to smash her stall and pretended to drag her away by force in front of the street people.

While the woman was struggling to resist, she took advantage of the other party's inattention and stepped hard on one of the followers. When the other party hugged his foot and cried out in pain, she finally managed to escape.

But seeing that the other party was unwilling to give up, the woman knew that if she was taken away in the street, she would be drowned in rumors even if she had mouths all over her body.

There was no other reason, it was because the nobleman riding on the bridge was well-known, the new queen's biological brother, Prince Xiaoyao. Because he stood on the side of the new emperor, he had the merit of following the emperor. Moreover, after the new emperor came to the throne, he saw that Xiaoyao was obsessed with flowers, so he bestowed a title of prince on him in name only.

Everyone in the imperial city of Tiansheng knew that King Xiaoyao was just a drunkard who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. He was tall and fat, a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms. He always had a big belly and was greedy for beauty, especially those with fair skin, beautiful looks and graceful figures.

Moreover, no matter the women he took a fancy to, from princes and nobles to ordinary people, as long as he took a fancy to them, he would use all kinds of means to forcibly bring them back to his house.

Many ministers in the court wrote letters to impeach the lustful and lecherous King Xiaoyao, but these people were either reprimanded by the new emperor or their wives or children suffered misfortune. After a period of time, everyone had figured out what was going on.

The backers behind King Xiaoyao are protecting him.

And who is the backer of King Xiaoyao? It is the new queen.

Speaking of this queen, don't underestimate her. Although she is a woman, the new emperor was able to successfully eliminate dissidents and ascend the throne. This queen was indispensable behind the scenes to give him advice.

It is also said that their queen is young, talented and beautiful, and even knows strange magic. Of course, what kind of strange magic the queen has is not known to ordinary people.

far away

It was said that the King Xiaoyao had taken a fancy to the young woman selling cabbages. After a series of robbery and plunder, the woman was brought to his house. After that, no matter whether the victim came to his house to beg for mercy or not, he would either give her some silver to send her away or kick her out. After all, she was just a woman selling vegetables on the street. She had no background and could be bullied by him at will.

But today, they happened to meet a group of blind people. Everyone would retreat when they saw the bridge of Xiaoyao Palace, but these people were like blind people, they didn't see anything and just rushed straight into it.

The woman was desperate and tried every possible means to find a cure. She immediately grabbed the prince, who was born with a handsome appearance and whose elegance and grace could not be concealed even in his plain clothes. With a glimmer of hope, she accurately walked past everyone and hugged the prince's golden thigh tightly, begging him to save her life.

Prince: ...I was walking just fine, but suddenly my eyes became blurry, and for no apparent reason, I was tripped by someone...I was really surprised!

There was a moment of silence, and everyone gasped, "Oh my god, that young master is in big trouble. He actually dared to snatch someone from King Xiaoyao. I'm afraid he won't even know how he died."

"That's right, you want to be a hero but you don't even consider who the other person is. You even dare to snatch the person that King Xiaoyao likes. You are really asking for trouble."

Prince:......

The black-armored guards who changed into plain clothes: ...

The Seventh Uncle, who took several steps back during the chaos, said: ...It’s none of my business, it’s none of my business. I can’t help you at my age.

Prince: Uncle, is it really okay for you to just watch someone die without helping?

Seventh Uncle: I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die. You... take care.

The prince was really confused. He was just walking there normally, and suddenly someone came and scammed him. It was really puzzling, okay?

Normally, in Dayuan, no matter if they knew the prince or not, everyone who heard the prince's name would not pay respects and greet him. No one dared to come up and flatter him. Therefore, the prince was confused and stunned by the woman's sudden behavior, and it was no wonder that he could not react in time.

Fortunately, after being stunned for a moment, the black-armored guards immediately stepped forward and pulled the woman off the prince.

Are you kidding? If they keep pulling like this, the prince’s pants will be torn off.

However, when the woman saw her only life-saving straw slipping away from her, it was as if a basin of ice water was poured over her head, chilling her to the core.

She looked up suddenly, unable to believe that the handsome man in front of her would not save her, and she opened her mouth to say, "My husband, you are so cruel. How could you not help me when I was being robbed? Could it be that you were really fascinated by the girl in Yicui Tower and wanted to abandon me? I have worked every day to support you, to make a name for myself, to wash clothes and mend clothes, to chop wood in the mountains, and to tend to the crops. How can you treat me like this?"

The passers-by who didn't know what was going on were shocked when they heard this. "Oh my God, I thought he was someone I didn't know, but it turned out to be the woman's husband. Oh my God, the woman had gone out of her way to earn money to support him in his studies, but at the critical moment, she didn't help him. It's so disheartening."

"No wonder they say that most loyal people are butchers, and most unfaithful people are scholars. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this man looks like a decent man, but I never knew he is such a despicable person inside."

Seeing the man's unhappy face, the woman thought that although she was not kind enough to drag him into the quagmire, the atmosphere had come to this point, and the noble man was in a dilemma, so he should save her anyway.
