Chapter 425 Taking the initiative to expose identity
Fu Ming once said that Zhao Chengji is only good to women who are helpful to his career.
Su Nianyun is his elder in name. Marrying her will not bring obvious benefits to his career, and may even lower his reputation as a prince.
If under such circumstances, he could not make a clear choice, it shows that Zhao Chengji is sincere towards Su Nianyun.
Whether it is the current prince or the future emperor's sincerity, this is the most terrifying place.
Therefore, Xiao Changfeng felt that the crisis he was facing was more severe.
"Hey, look, is that Princess Nianyun?"
"Princess Nianyun? You are a commoner, but you still know Princess Nianyun?"
"More than a year ago, when I was hearing the case in Jingzhao Mansion and watching the excitement, I saw Princess Nianyun. I even helped the government officials dig up Chen Shaoan's grave!"
"Of course," the man said, "it's Chen Shaoan's fake grave. The one buried inside is the real hero who fought against Fan Bang. His name is... Niu Yuncheng. I still remember this name!"
A group of people on the street looked at Su Nianyun and others, pointing.
Unable to get rid of the prince and princess, Su Nianyun thought of other tricks.
Her trick was to drag Xiao Changfeng to visit other people's stalls, buy small things, and then pretend to accidentally reveal their identities.
"Changfeng, do you think this jade pendant looks good?"
"Changfeng, how about this jade hairpin?"
"Changfeng..."
Su Nianyun's tone became increasingly happy and sweet.
Xiao Changfeng followed her generously, "These look good with you, buy them together..."
Su Nianyun here is excited to buy something, while Xiao Changfeng is paying generously.
The two of them were strolling on the street like lovers, as if they had completely forgotten about Zhao Chengji and Shunyang following behind them.
The two people originally planned to approach the person they liked while walking on the street.
Unexpectedly, Su Nianyun made the walk so high-profile that people on the street looked at them sideways.
Zhao Chengji had no choice but to try to put as much distance between him and Su Nianyun and Xiao Changfeng as possible under the obstruction of the plainclothes guards.
Just because he is the prince.
His current identity can no longer be revealed casually on the street.
Once he becomes the focus of the people's attention and is recognized by the people, it is inevitable that there will be no rebellious people among them who will assassinate him.
Therefore, for safety reasons, the guards did not worry about the prince showing his face too much in the crowd.
If Zhao Chengji can't do it, then Shunyang can't do it either.
Both of them are figures in the palace, and when they step out, they will be noticed.
They are different from Su Nianyun, who is also a princess.
Su Nianyun was a princess who got married and then divorced. Her reputation among the people was different from that of the nobles in the palace.
Therefore, Su Nianyun deliberately attracted the current to himself in order to create a gap between Zhao Chengji and Shunyang that did not allow anyone to breathe.
"You said that was Princess Nianyun. Why did she come to our mean streets?"
"I saw that they just came out of Grandma Yu's shop. They probably went there to eat."
"Grandma Yu's fish soup is always delicious and can attract the princess to drink the fish soup. She will have no worries about doing business in the future."
"It's impossible for Princess Nianyun to come to drink fish soup alone, right? Who is the person accompanying the princess?"
"Looking at the figure, he looks like little Xiaohou."
"This is impossible," someone shook his head, "Little Xiaohou never shows his true face to others. It is said that his face was destroyed in the war, so he never shows his true face to others."
"Yes, I've heard about it too. Look, that man is no worse than other young men from aristocratic families in the capital. He must be an unworldly young man from some family who came to drink fish soup with Princess Nian Yun!"
"You people are so ignorant!"
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and a big reveal came, "What kind of unworldly young master is he, Xiao Hou himself?"
"How is this possible? Doesn't it mean that his appearance is ruined?"
"Who did you listen to?"
"That's what storytellers say."
"Can you believe everything the storyteller says?"
"But not only the storyteller, but also other officials in the capital also recognized this matter!"
"Then have you ever heard anyone from the military say that?"
"What... from the military?"
"As we all know, Xiao Hou spends less time in the capital and more time in the army."
"... When two armies are fighting, if Xiaohou continues to wear a silver mask, he will only offend the enemy. Therefore, Xiaohou in the army or on the battlefield does not wear a mask. Do you know?"
"Have you heard from people in the army that little Xiaohou is ugly?"
"Huh?" Everyone was surprised, "Does Little Marquis Xiao not wear a mask in the army?"
"Look at each of you. You only sit in this square well in the middle of the capital and look at the square sky in the middle of the capital. You completely ignore the outside world, right?"
"Are you laughing at us?"
Someone couldn't stand listening anymore and said to the sarcastic person.
"You are well-informed. You are not a member of the army and have witnessed the appearance of little Xiaohou with your own eyes, right?"
"You are right," the speaker nodded, "I have been in the army for ten years and have just returned to Beijing from Mobei."
As soon as he announced his identity, the people present immediately changed their unconvinced expressions to admiration.
"It turns out he is a sergeant who has returned home honorably. My tone just now was too harsh, which offended me so much!"
"It doesn't matter," the man waved his hand, "We are all just expressing our opinions."
Seeing Xiao Changfeng and Su Nianyun walking towards the stall near them, he said, "Just wait, I will prove it to you."
After saying that, he rushed to Xiao Changfeng without hesitation, and in accordance with the military rules, he saluted Xiao Changfeng squarely.
"Mo Fan from Flying Tiger Camp, pays homage to General Right!"
Xiao Changfeng was slightly stunned.
When he saw this person rushing towards him just now, he subconsciously protected Su Nianyun behind him. Only now did he see clearly that this person did indeed look familiar.
"Flying Tiger Camp... Mo Fan?" he recalled the name.
"Yes, my subordinate Mo Fan."
"So it's you," Xiao Changfeng nodded, "I was the one who sealed your repatriation letter."
Those who need him to seal are all veterans who have made certain achievements in the military.
"Is your home the capital? I didn't expect to meet you in the capital!" Xiao Changfeng said with emotion.
