Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Chapter 261 I'm a princess, I'm meant to enjoy life! (24)

Wang Yuening received news of Yan Qingxun's injury on the third day at noon. It was said that he had injured his lower body. Wang Yuening sent a palace maid to Yan's residence to offer her condolences, while she herself stayed in the palace.

She will always remember Qingxun's help in her time of crisis, but Yan Qingxun should never have ruined her reputation.

Father has sent people to check her pulse many times. Fortunately, she is not pregnant. Otherwise, given Father's consideration for his subjects, he would have married her off to the Yan family and made her live a widowed life for Yan Qingxun.

Since learning that Wang Yuening was not pregnant, Wang Tianzheng no longer clung to the matter of Yan Qingxun's marriage alliance. He wished he could exterminate the entire Yan family. How dare Yan Qingxun deceive the emperor and threaten him! Lin'an was also ignorant, actually colluding with outsiders to deceive him. Wang Tianzheng was so angry that he almost flew away from the skewers in his hand.

Looking at Wang Tianzheng's reaction, Jing Ruhai sighed inwardly at Wang Yuening's foolishness. Even if Yan Qingxun were to marry into the royal family, His Majesty would not mistreat Princess Lin'an. Princess Lin'an insisted on getting involved, and now things have become more complicated.

Wang Tianzheng slowed down the speed at which he was turning the prayer beads. "You dog slave, have I been good to Lin'an?"

Compared to Wang Xiaolian, Princess Lin'an was like heaven and earth. While Wang Xiaolian was starving and freezing in the cold palace, Princess Lin'an had everything she could want. She had eight maids to serve her while she studied, not to mention her other lavish lifestyle.

Jing Ruhai carefully said, "Your Majesty, both thunder and rain are acts of imperial grace."

Looking at Jing Ruhai's cautious manner, Wang Tianzheng suddenly realized that he was the emperor, the king of the whole world. He then kicked Jing Ruhai in the shoulder and said, "You dog slave, draft the decree."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Tianzheng was the emperor, and he could not accept others coveting his throne, nor could he accept betrayal.

When Wang Yuening received the imperial edict, the sky seemed to have fallen. The emperor was sending her to a Guanyin temple to practice Buddhism, and she was not to return to the palace without an imperial decree, destined to spend her life in seclusion. For a princess who had been pampered since childhood, this was no different from the sky falling down. She couldn't believe that the emperor was so cruel to her.

Xiong Bufan squatted not far away watching the commotion, while Wang Yuening and the Empress knelt in front of the Imperial Study, begging the Emperor to rescind his decree. The door to the Imperial Study was tightly shut.

The Third Prince went to the Imperial Study and didn't come out. Xiong Bufan put some dried fruit in his mouth and asked Yueyan, "Is going to the Guanyin Temple more terrifying than a marriage alliance?"

Yueyan: "I don't know."

They're all far from the palace, so there shouldn't be any difference.

Xiong Bufan: "Okay."

Wang Yuening was already irritated. Hearing Xiong Bufan and Yueyan discussing, she didn't dare to target Xiong Bufan, so she directly said to Yueyan, "You lowly servant, shut up."

"You have no right to interfere in my affairs."

Hearing Wang Yuening curse, Xiong Bufan couldn't stand it. It was wrong to curse in front of her. He rushed over and slapped Wang Yuening across the face twice. "You rude thing, don't even think about corrupting me."

Wang Yuening was stunned by the beating. Memories from before surfaced, and tears streamed down her face in fear. The Empress quickly pulled Wang Yuening into her arms, saying, "Princess Anning, Lin'an knows she was wrong. Please stop hitting her."

Yueyan said, "Princess, it's okay to be scolded. I'm used to it anyway."

Xiong Bufan was about to stop, but upon hearing Yueyan speak, he slapped Wang Yuening a few more times. Wang Yuening's face immediately swelled up like a pig's head, and she hid in the Empress's arms, crying.

Xiong Bufan: "If I hear you swearing again, I'll beat you up."

Empress: "Anning, she won't dare to do it again, please stop hitting her."

Xiong Bufan wasn't a diligent bear. After venting his anger, he swaggered into the Imperial Study with Yueyan. She hadn't been here for a long time and wondered if Wang Tianzheng had acquired any new treasures.

The young eunuch respectfully ushered Xiong Bufan inside. His Majesty said that Princess Anning could go anywhere, even the Imperial Study.

As the Empress watched Xiong Bufan swagger into the Imperial Study, she secretly wiped away her tears, but still gently patted Wang Yuening's back to comfort her. The newly appointed head maid had already gone to find the imperial physician.

Wang Tian was scolding the Third Prince for being useless when he saw Xiong Bufan come in. He quickly chased him out, saying, "Third Prince, you can leave now. You don't need to talk about Lin'an anymore. Take the Empress back with you."

The Third Prince wanted to say something more, but seeing Xiong Bufan present, he could only leave dejectedly, saying, "Father, I take my leave."

Xiong Bufan put the gold and silver items on Wang Tianzheng's table back into his spatial storage. After searching and finding nothing else of value, he was about to leave with Yueyan when Wang Tianzheng stopped him. "Anning, wait a moment, I have something to say to you."

Xiong Bufan assumed Wang Tianzheng was trying to get his things back, thinking, "What I get in my hands is mine."

"It's all for you. I can give you even more gold, it all depends on whether you're willing to do it or not." Wang Tianzheng's voice was full of seduction.

Xiong Bufan said righteously, "Whatever it is, I won't do murder or arson."

Kongkong remained skeptical of this statement. Apart from arson, what had Xiong Bufan not done? Robbery and beating people were commonplace for him.

Yueyan dared not utter a sound behind Xiong Bufan, but she was so curious that she could only listen intently.

Wang Tianzheng: "It's not that serious. If the barbarians go back, they will definitely send troops to attack the dynasty. I just hope you can go and guard the area to prevent the barbarians from moving south." It would be best to go to the barbarian royal court, stir up their tribes, and prevent them from sending troops to attack the dynasty.

Yueyan instinctively wanted Xiong Bufan to refuse, as the frontier was harsh and her princess, being so precious, couldn't endure that kind of hardship.

Xiong Bufan curled his lips. It was just asking her to go to war, he could have just said so. She had never been to war before, and she was even a little looking forward to it. But then she remembered that she couldn't work for free, so she said to Wang Tianzheng with a serious face, "How much are you going to pay me?"

Wang Tianzheng did not expect that Xiong Bufan was worried about money, and promised: "For every ten years you hold out, I will give you a thousand taels of gold."

"If you take the Khan's life, I will give you another hundred taels of gold."

Xiong Bufan: "Deal, when am I leaving?" She could already feel the money flowing towards her.

Even the generals of the dynasty might not be able to defeat the barbarians. A delicate person like the princess would only suffer if she went. Yueyan tugged at Xiong Bufan's sleeve, trying to get her to refuse.

Then Xiong Bufan said, "Don't rush, I haven't finished negotiating yet. I'll take you there once I have."

Yueyan was so anxious she was about to cry. That wasn't what she meant. She hoped the princess could stay in the palace, find a husband, and live a comfortable life in the capital.

Thinking that he was just a bear fighting barbarians, Xiong Bufan asked, "Are there any other soldiers?" If not, he would get extra money.

Wang Tianzheng was prepared for Xiong Bufan's request and directly took out a tiger tally and gave it to Xiong Bufan, saying, "Take this to Mocheng and find General Xu. He will give you half of the troops."

Xiong Bufan held the military tally in his pocket. "Alright, I understand. But I'm taking a few men with me."

As long as it's not him being taken away, anyone else is fine with it. Wang Tianzheng said without hesitation, "Okay."

Xiong Bufan patted Wang Tianzheng on the shoulder, "Get the money ready, and wait for my good news."

"it is good."
