Both Fu Yiniang and the man in black, who were tied up on the ground, looked horrified.
She continued: "Everyone was tied up at the entrance of the vegetable market, and this man still tried his best to save him. If it were you, would you be able to do it?"
Gu Yin was speechless.
Chu Yunli sneered: "You definitely can't do it. Fu Yiniang is obsessed with such a man, how could she fall in love with you?"
Gu Yin held his head: "Stop talking, I know I'm stupid!"
Before today, he would occasionally have a sister who didn't like the idea of Fu Yiniang deliberately doing these tricks.
But now that the facts were before him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
The man in black who was tied up was Hu Han, the first man Fu Yiniang married. The couple had a deep love for each other, and Hu Han accidentally faked his death. At that time, Fu Yiniang really thought that she was a widow, and a wealthy businessman happened to be interested in her.
Her beauty brought her into the family.
Two months later, Hu Han came back alive and went crazy and killed the wealthy businessman. Fu Yiniang became a widow and was released after receiving a large fortune.
The two of them suddenly got a large amount of money, and they squandered it on their mission, but spent it all within a few months. After getting a fortune, Fu Yiniang started to think about it again, and after careful selection, she married another wealthy businessman in the north.
, everything went well, and after becoming a widow, she got a large fortune.
The smooth journey along the way also made Fu Yiniang more ambitious. After meeting Gu Yin by chance, she discovered that Prince Bei was a simple person, and she started to think about it.
Unfortunately... I met a shrewd princess.
Listening to the couple's confessions, Gu Yin's face looked numb, he really felt stupid.
In her previous life, Gu Yuan'er only knew that the couple was plotting against her younger brother, but Chu Yunli thought that there must be something else going on.
She placed them on death row but did not execute them immediately.
Just at this time, the steward of the palace came to report: "Princess, please come over and say that we have something important to discuss."
Before, Gu Yuan'er didn't like this aunt and stepmother very much, and only maintained the superficial relationship between mother and daughter.
Chu Yunli had just arrived. He didn't want outsiders to find out what was wrong, so he immediately got up and went over.
Walking to the door, the steward whispered: "Mrs. Zhou arrived early in the morning, and she brought her nephew with her."
Chu Yunli immediately understood that Princess Bei wanted to help her act as a matchmaker. To put it bluntly, she wanted to send this ambitious stepdaughter out of the house.
Neither Gu Yuan'er nor Chu Yunli are good and obedient girls. They have always been regarded as a thorn in Princess Bei's side and a thorn in her flesh.
Chu Yunli originally wanted to maintain the superficial relationship between mother and daughter with her, but when she heard that it was a matchmaking, she turned around and went directly to the outer study.
The outer study room of Beiwang Mansion is a main hall, where Beiwang usually handles things.
Seeing her come in, he said cheerfully: "It's just a good time, let's have lunch together."
Chu Yunli came to complain. She did not mince words and said directly: "The princess invited Mrs. Zhou to come over and asked me to see her."
King Bei suddenly frowned: "What does she want to do?"
Chu Yunli shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, I don't want to get married, so don't let me go."
King Bei immediately ordered: "Go and tell the princess that I have something to discuss with the princess."
The Northern King was helpless: "You, you are less than thirty, wouldn't it be nice to have someone who knows both coldness and hotness by your side? Why are you so resistant? There are other families who don't like the Zhou family. Don't you think it's a good idea to have a dignified Northern Territory?
Can’t you find the person you like?”
"I am the princess, and you are the only elder. If I get married, I will find a bunch of elders to bear down on me. I am not stupid. I will not do such an uneconomical thing." Chu Yunli did not expect that.
King Bei also forced her to get married, which was not good. When she thought of something, she turned her eyes and said with a smile: "Didn't you find a young man for me? I think that's fine. As long as I don't get married, I still have no objection.
There are people around."
If you put the person in the yard, who knows whether she touched it or not.
Chu Yunli sat opposite King Bei. After having a meal, he suppressed the joking look on his face and said, "Father, I came to see you on business. I want to set up a village in the suburbs and find some people who are familiar with farming."
Old farmers, look for ways to increase food production."
After going through so much, Chu Yunli had many ideas in her mind, but it was hard to bring them out directly. And no matter how much the King of the North doted on her, he would not make fun of the people's fields in the north. If the people's food production was reduced and they couldn't fill their stomachs, they would
Something big happened.
In short, we must first develop a method to increase grain production and convince the Queen of the North before it can be promoted.
When King Bei heard what she said, he was quite pleased: "It's pretty good. Just go ahead and do it."
Chu Yunli was not surprised when she got the right word. King Bei dotes on her and doesn't make fun of the people's fields, but Zhuangzi allowed her to play with her... He still agreed to such a small thing.
The atmosphere in the palace was good. At this moment, the guard hurriedly came in and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, that man has escaped."
There was no beginning or end to the sentence, and King Bei suddenly frowned.
Generally, people who cannot speak clearly can't come to him. What's wrong with this person?
The guard immediately realized that he had not spoken clearly and hurriedly explained: "That He Zifeng ran away."
"Who is He Zifeng?" King Bei frowned even more tightly.
The guard took a peek at Chu Yunli beside him and coughed: "That's the congratulator, he has a good appearance."
A man actually used the word "Jiaohao".
Chu Yunli was really curious about that man's appearance. Bei Wang next to him raised his eyebrows: "Run away? Isn't he a scholar? You have no power to restrain a chicken, and you and the four guards can't actually see him?"
The guard lowered his head in shame.
King Bei glanced at his daughter: "Why don't dad look for it for you again?"
Chu Yunli: "...There's no rush for this matter."
The words came out of her mouth, but she felt that they made sense, and tried to persuade King Bei: "It's better to be lacking than to be indiscriminate. I have to find someone who is good-looking and has a good temper. What you find is better than me doing it myself."
Bei Wang: "..."
He was a little unhappy: "Are you doubting my vision?"
yes!
Chu Yunli thought so in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Father is so busy, you don't need to worry about these small things. I will definitely take care of myself, and I won't let myself suffer."
After saying this, he quickly stood up and left: "I'm going to find Zhuangzi."
King Bei couldn't laugh or cry.
He Zifeng, who was able to escape under the strict guard of four guards, must be smart. If the King of the North hadn't brought him to the north, there would definitely be one more smart official in the court. So, after he ran away,
, King Bei didn’t want to be his enemy.
Chu Yunli left the palace and prepared to leave the city.
She rode through the city all the way, and everyone who saw her gave way to her, with their eyes full of respect. This time she really lived quite freely, of course, but she had to ignore the secret calculations.
The decline of the Northern Prince's Mansion in the previous life could not have been caused by a small figure like Fu Yiniang. The injury to the Northern Prince must have been caused by someone in the court, if not by the surrounding vassals.
After all, the Northern King has been in the north for twenty years and has managed the barren land quite decently. I believe that in a few years, it will be even more prosperous.
Therefore, wantonness is only temporary, and the danger is still to come.
The city gate was right in front of her. There were many people waiting to leave the city and enter the city. Chu Yunli stopped her horse. She was not in a hurry and had no intention of running out directly.
The horse slowly crossed the city gate and was about to go far away when Chu Yunli saw a figure from the corner of her eye. Her movements suddenly froze and her heart beat wildly.
No way?
Can they run into each other again after they were separated?
She reined in her horse and turned around, and the guard at the side immediately stepped forward: "Princess, do you have any instructions?"
The guard followed her gaze and his eyes widened: "He Zifeng?"
Chu Yunli: "..."
She glanced around the city gate and determined that the person with the best appearance was the one around him. Although his skin was sallow and his beard was stained, he could not hide it from her and the guards around him.
Feeling dumbfounded, he urged his horse over and said to the man who was about to enter the city: "Stop!"
The thin figure paused, slowly turned around, and knelt down: "Princess, please spare my life!"
A flattering look.
Chu Yunli was speechless and ordered: "Raise your head."
He Zifeng raised his head and looked straight at the horse's legs, not the woman on the horse.
Chu Yunli got off her horse, walked up to him, stretched out her finger to hook his chin, glanced down at him, and a bright smile spread on her lips: "You are quite handsome, I want you!"
The guards and the people were stunned: "..." Robbing the men?
Chu Yunli waved his hand without paying attention to anyone else: "Bring the horse here, I want to take him back."
He Zifeng accidentally met her eyes, and he was excited for no reason. He did not resist being snatched back by her, and even looked forward to it.
The guards immediately stepped forward. They recognized the person in front of them and did not think that the princess had taken a liking to him. She was probably dissatisfied with the pretty boy's sneaking away and took him back to deal with him.
He Zifeng climbed onto the horse by himself. He was a little fussy at first, but quickly took control of the reins.
Chu Yunli saw this in his eyes, couldn't help but smile, and took the lead in riding forward.
She did not return home. According to her original itinerary, she first went to the suburbs to look for Zhuangzi, and then ordered people to find an old farmer who was proficient in farming.
They also asked people to select the biggest and best seeds, and hired craftsmen to build a greenhouse, intending to grow seedlings in the greenhouse first.
He Zifeng's eyes were filled with brilliance when he heard this, and he looked at Chu Yunli with strange eyes.
This princess is very different from the rumors.
Chu Yunli turned around and met his eyes. She couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard that you don't want to serve me, so why are you running away?"
