Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

The Queen and Zhao Yuanqing returned to Fengyi Palace. The Queen said, "I slapped Concubine Hui today. It felt so good!"

"Mother, we have completely broken off relations with Concubine Hui today. We will undoubtedly be envied by them, and they will surely exact even greater revenge in the future."

"Qing'er, this is how it is in the palace. It's either you die or I live. After all, there's only one position."

Zhao Yuanqing held the Queen's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. If anything happens, we will face it together."

"Don't be afraid, Queen Mother. Qing'er, don't be afraid either. Queen Mother will protect you."

Zhao Yuanqing left Fengyi Palace and went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. His grandfather had been stationed in the northwest, and his uncle, aunt, and cousin were also in the northwest. There were only a housekeeper and some servants in the mansion.

The housekeeper's name was Li Jia. He welcomed Zhao Yuanqing in and asked, "Princess, what brings you here so suddenly?"

"Butler Li, do you know where the old soldiers and remnants of my grandfather's army are?"

"There are dozens of people in the palace, and most of them are slightly injured. The rest are seriously injured and elderly. They are all in the Marquis's manor outside the capital."

"I'm short of some staff and want to take a few back with me. Can you help me pick some?"

"Yes, I'll go and call them over."

After a while, dozens of people stood in the courtyard, looking at Zhao Yuanqing with puzzled eyes.

Zhao Yuanqing looked at them. Most of them were men, with about ten women. Their faces were weathered and there was murderous intent in their eyes. It was obvious that they had been tempered on the battlefield.

"Butler Li, why is there a woman here?"

"She was a female soldier employed by the imperial court. After retiring from the battlefield, she was unwilling to marry and have children, so she was taken in by the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Yuanqing nodded and said, "Let them talk about their abilities."

Steward Li called out, "Everyone, this is Princess Shanzhen, the Marquis's granddaughter. She wants to select some servants from among you. Tell us your abilities!"

The people below made a small commotion, and it was a good opportunity to serve Princess Shanzhen.

A man came up, bowed and said, "Your Highness, my name is Li Xing, and my skill is swordsmanship."

Another person came over and said, "I run fast. I used to be a scout, specializing in gathering information."

"I'm an excellent archer, I can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away."

"I'm so strong I can lift a 200-jin millstone."

"I'm a good horse rider and I can train horses."

......

The men finished speaking, and it was the women's turn. "Your Highness, I can use hidden weapons."

"I used to be a military doctor's assistant, and I have some basic knowledge of medicine."

"I run fast and have great strength."

......

Finally, a plain-looking woman came forward. She bowed to Zhao Yuanqing and said, "Your Highness, my name is Meng Jiu. I don't have as many skills as they do. I only know one trick, which is killing."

Zhao Yuanqing became interested. So many people talked about their abilities, but no one dared to say so bluntly that they could kill people.

"Other people kill people too. What's the difference between you and them?"

"Others might kill with a gun, a knife, or even poison, but I can kill with my bare hands in just three moves."

Zhao Yuanqing became more interested. "Are you telling the truth?"

Meng Jiu didn't answer. The people around him said, "Your Highness, Meng Jiu is right. We have all seen her kill people. She is the most powerful one among us."

Zhao Yuanqing was still a little unconvinced, so Meng Jiu said, "Please allow me to demonstrate it to the princess, Steward Li."

"what?"

"excuse me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jiu rushed out quickly. Her figure was so fast that double appeared. In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind Butler Li. With a twist of her hand, Butler Li fell to the ground, and her hands were pinching his aorta.

Butler Li yelled, "Meng Jiu, don't really do that!"

"Just to show it to the princess, princess, do you see it?"

"...I see, it can indeed kill people. Let Butler Li go."

Meng Jiu let go of Butler Li and walked back.

There were sixty-seven people in total, and they all talked about their abilities. Most of them knew how to use swords, guns, sticks, or clubs, while a few had some special abilities.

Zhao Yuanqing asked in confusion, "Butler Li, these people seem quite capable, why would they retreat from the battlefield?"

"Princess, they are much stronger than ordinary people, but they are not good enough on the battlefield. A prolonged battle would surely lead to their death, so they retreated."

"What about Meng Jiu? Is it the same?"

"Meng Jiu is fast, but she injured her heart and lungs on the battlefield. Her killing method can only be used two or three times, not continuously."

Meng Jiu nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

Zhao Yuanqing understood, "Butler Li, I'm going to take all these people away, is that okay?"

"No problem. It's their blessing that they have a better future following the princess."

"But these people can't enter the princess's mansion directly. If you do this..."

"Yes, I understand."

Two days later, Zhao Yuanqing instructed the housekeeper, "Go to the largest brokerage in the capital and tell them that I want to buy a group of people."

"Yes."

After more than an hour, the dentist arrived with a group of people. "Your Highness, we have brought you the freshest goods from the dentistry. Please take your pick."

"Come in, everyone."

Hundreds of people were standing in the yard, including those who had been in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion before. Now they all looked like refugees, allowing Zhao Yuanqing to choose.

This was Zhao Yuanqing's idea. He didn't want to take these people away directly from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but let them enter the pawnshop first and then buy them himself, so as not to attract attention.

There are many people monitoring Zhao Yuanqing now. If she directly takes him from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to the Princess Mansion, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of these people, and she will also be blamed by her grandfather. It is better to keep a low profile.

Zhao Yuanqing looked around and pointed out the men from the Zhenbei Marquisate first. "What can you do? Tell me one by one."

These people had received instructions before they came, and each of them made up a set of words, "Princess, I can feed the horses."

"I have a lot of strength and I know how to farm."

"I can plant flowers."

Of course, they couldn't talk about swords, guns, sticks, and clubs. According to what Butler Li had told them, they were all ordinary skills, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Zhao Yuanqing said, "They all look good to me. Please stay. And what about those women? Let's talk about them too."

The women came up one by one and said, "I can embroider and make clothes."

"I can cook."

"I can write and do the math."

Mixed in there was Meng Jiu, who was dressed as a maid and said, "I can do massage."

Zhao Yuanqing was very satisfied and said, "Let's all stay here."

In the end, except for a few who looked unlucky, the rest all stayed, a total of eighty-six people, sixty-seven from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and nineteen from outside.

The dealer was overjoyed. He'd just arrived with a batch of goods that looked so rough and shabby, and he'd thought they wouldn't sell well. But he'd unexpectedly found a significant customer like Princess Shanzhen, and they'd sold all of them at once. That was great! He paid the bill and left with a smile on his face.

Zhao Yuanqing assigned tasks to these eighty-six people. Some of them formed patrol teams to protect the safety of the princess's mansion, and some of them were sent to various locations to serve as Zhao Yuanqing's eyes and monitor the princess's mansion for her.

The remaining women all had their own skills. One knew medicine, one knew poison, one knew hidden weapons, and one knew how to write and do accounting. They were all good at fighting, and were arranged by Zhao Yuanqing to serve in her yard.

The most powerful Meng Jiu was arranged to serve in the house and protect Zhao Yuanqing's safety.

Only after all these people were arranged did Zhao Yuanqing feel relieved. She finally had some manpower available.
