Chapter 118: You want to compete with me in badness? I’ve never lost!
At the same time, Lan Zheng was also looking at Yun Suyue. After seeing Yun Suyue's unparalleled beauty, the hand behind him suddenly clenched, but the smile on his face did not move at all:
"Haha, what a misunderstanding. Just now, when I was turning towards home, my guard mentioned that three young girls were galloping on horses on the street during curfew, and I got curious.
I also wanted to see what kind of girl had the courage to walk alone in the middle of the night. I didn't expect it to be the legendary Princess Su Yue, so that would explain it."
Yun Suyue also imitated his smile with an unusually fake exuberance, "Haha, you know what, President Lan and your guard are quite curious, they were so curious that they followed me all over the street.
Hey, you two are so loyal to each other, do you have feelings for this princess?"
There is endless coldness hidden behind her smile. Since you are hypocritical, I will disgust you to death. Anyway, your character at the beginning is an abandoned woman, so who is afraid of who?
"Hmm!" As expected, Lan Zheng couldn't resist. He obviously didn't expect that there would be a woman who didn't take her reputation seriously.
He accidentally closed his mouth which was wide open in shock, and ended up biting his tongue hard, almost breaking it. It was so painful that blood foam flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
He hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood. Well, such a large piece of men's handkerchief was soaked. It was all this woman's fault.
Lan Zheng hated Yun Suyue so much that he wanted to slap her to death, especially since he was in so much pain that he was half dead, but she was laughing unscrupulously in front of him.
It’s so infuriating!
But when he thought of her status as a princess and the favor the Empress Dowager and the Holy Emperor showed her, all his hatred had to subside and he had to bear it himself.
He would keep this account in mind for now and settle it with her when he found a chance. What mattered most right now was his sister's matter.
Lan Zheng struggled internally for half a cup of tea before putting on his smiling face again and saying, "Princess Su Yue is truly a prophet. I have a small matter that I hope you can help me with. May I know?"
Yun Suyue raised her hand, suddenly interrupting Lan Zheng, her breath suddenly weakened as she said, "Alas, to be honest with you, President Lan, I'm not afraid of losing face. Actually, although I was named a princess, you and I both know that it's just that the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor took pity on my Yun family and showed me a little bit of favor. That's all.
As for help? Alas, President Lan may have found the wrong person.
"..."
Do you think I'm blind?
Do you think I'm deaf?
In the dead of night, are you taking me for a fool?
What the hell is that sitting on your butt? You call this just a favor?!
Lan Zheng gritted his teeth and lowered his gaze, looking angrily at the sturdy and cool enchanting red unicorn horse, almost biting his silver teeth to pieces. He had served the royal family for ten years, and his sister was still a concubine, but he had not received such a rare and famous horse as a reward from the Holy Emperor.
There wasn't even a newborn foal!
But this woman just came to the palace to return a blank imperial edict, to coax the Queen Mother, and to seduce the Holy Emperor. She was still an abandoned woman who was not wanted by a man. How could she have the virtue and ability to get such a majestic and beautiful red unicorn horse?
This should be his!
The annoying thing is that he doesn't dare to get angry or speak out, he feels so frustrated.
Yun Suyue didn't care what Lan Zheng thought. Although the other party's raging anger was well hidden, the twitching of his face was clearly visible. Since he took the initiative to give her a good opportunity to attack him, she would rather take it than miss it.
Thinking of this, Yun Suyue arched her eyebrows, curled her pink lips, and said in a serious and hypocritical manner: "Since President Lan has spoken, and my father is the former president, I also have a little fate with President Lan. Can I help him a little? It's not impossible."
Lan Zheng's murderous eyes a second ago suddenly lit up with joy. "Thank you very much, Princess Su Yue. I also hope that Princess Su Yue will say a good word for my sister, Concubine Lan, when she meets the Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor."
Yun Suyue's smile became increasingly false and cheerful. "Haha, it's just a small matter. But, Jiuli Taoxiang, do we have enough silver to cover the journey back to Qingzhou tomorrow?"
Jiuli and Taoxiang immediately understood each other: "Report to the princess, this servant still has four taels."
“Taoxiang has a little more here than Jiuli, but it’s still less than five taels.
Lan Zheng: “…”
His face fell instantly. Crying poor in front of him? Did he think that he, the president, was a pushover? He had been the president of the Imperial Merchants Guild for ten years in vain. He didn't understand how rich the Yun family, the Imperial Merchants, was when you took over, right?
He was indignant and angry.
Yun Suyue's two beautiful eyebrows suddenly twisted together, and she spread out her hands innocently, saying with a weak voice, "President Lan, you heard it too, this little money is not enough to curry favor with the two maids around the Queen Mother.
I'm sorry, little bastard, I really can't do anything about it."
After she finished speaking, she immediately twisted her beautiful eyebrows and scolded Jiuli and Taoxiang seriously, "And you two, you will be punished when you go back. You didn't even report in advance that you had run out of money.
I punish you two to leave the palace as soon as the palace gates open tomorrow morning and buy a bag of stone cakes and bring them back. Then ask the maids for a few water bags to fill with more water. This should be enough to support this princess back to the Yun family in Qingzhou."
Lan Zheng: “…”
He finally understood that this woman was asking for a bribe from him. How could a woman be so shameless?!
Little did he know that Yun Suyue was asking for it in the first place, and it was he who was slow to react. Yun Suyue's main point was, "I'm just crying poor in front of you, what do you think?"
Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not? I can do whatever you want!
Lan Zheng, who figured it out, said: "..."
Yun Suyue admired Lan Zheng's slightly distorted expression, feeling particularly refreshed: "You little brat, you want to compete with me in badness? I've never lost!"
Lan Zheng felt hurt by the loss, but after thinking clearly about the whole thing, he was no longer angry. He was so angry that he felt like he was about to explode.
But this is the imperial city, and the abandoned woman in front of him is currently in great favor. No matter how angry he is, he has to endure it first. The hateful thing is that he has to please her for the sake of his sister.
So, he wiped his stiff face and said with a smile, "Of course, I wouldn't ask Princess Su Yue for help in vain. I have a few items at home that were given by the Holy Emperor. I wonder if Princess Su Yue likes pearls and jade jewelry? Or do you prefer silk and satin?"
"Oh, I see." Yun Suyue suppressed her laughter and pretended to think seriously while stroking her chin. Her eyes suddenly fell on Lan Zheng's face and swirled around:
"What do you like? As long as it's a treasure, of course I like it. Be more specific... You go back and get it. It doesn't seem appropriate to let this princess sit here in the cold wind and wait."
Lan Zheng: “…”
What will you do?
It was so terrible that he could hardly bear it anymore and wanted to strangle this shameless woman to death immediately.
He was gasping for breath.
Suddenly, Yun Suyue raised her arms and held the colorful whip in front of him, letting him see it for himself. "President Lan, you can see that I have no weapons other than a fancy horse whip. I think your sword is okay, so I'll take it."
Don't think about it!
Lan Zheng almost blurted out the words, but he held them back.
