Chapter 539: The Liang Emperor Meets the Miao King Again
Chapter 539: The Liang Emperor Meets the Miao King Again
Today was the wedding of Prince Jin's son, but Lu Zhaoyan was having a more chaotic day than Prince Jin himself.
The reason was simple: his father-in-law was a real troublemaker.
"…That’s about it. The repair costs are roughly five thousand taels. Your Highness, should I add this to your account?"
Qi Guan, the steward of Prince Jin’s mansion, rattled off a long list, gasping for breath when he finished.
Lu Zhaoyan rubbed his forehead. "Go ahead and add it. Debts are no burden."
Qi Guan hurriedly responded, "You must settle the account, Your Highness! Otherwise, I’ll be the one on the line."
Lu Zhaoyan didn’t want to make things difficult for a subordinate. "Understood. Have you finished? I need to go."
His father-in-law had disappeared again.
He had to find him.
He deeply regretted not bringing Jia Guan along today.
"Your Highness—"
Qi Guan called out to him.
Lu Zhaoyan closed his eyes. "Find Huang Changsun!"
Qi Guan thought for a moment. "That might work. Hey, Your Highness, where is Huang Changsun?"
Lu Zhaoyan was already walking away. "He’s in your mansion. If he’s missing, ask your own people."
Qi Guan was taken aback. "That… does make sense."
He called over a servant. "Have you seen Huang Changsun?"
Three servants shook their heads.
Qi Guan muttered, "Huang Changsun hasn’t come?"
The square-faced servant said, "He came, but we don’t know where he is."
Qi Guan gritted his teeth. "A grown man can’t just get lost in Prince Jin’s mansion, can he? This is Huang Changsun’s first time here. He might really be lost! You all, go find him quickly!"
Another servant asked, puzzled, "Why are we looking for Huang Changsun?"
Qi Guan pointed to the list in his hand. "To settle the accounts! Every item must be reviewed by someone from the Crown Prince’s Mansion to avoid any claims that we cheated them!"
The two mansions had a terrible relationship, so it was best to be clear about the money.
The servants split up to search.
"Which young lady, so fair and lovely, has caught my fancy? Would you be so kind as to join me in the pavilion for a chat? I have a treasure here that I’d like to show you."
Just as the Miao King left, Meng Qianqian was approached by a man in dark blue brocade, exuding an air of wealth.
Meng Qianqian turned around, her calm eyes surveying him.
She wore a veil, but her breathtakingly beautiful eyes still left him stunned.
The man looked her up and down. "From the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion? Which sister are you? I’ve never seen you before."
Meng Qianqian, who had no intention of engaging with him, replied coolly, "I’ve never seen you either."
"Ah."
The man casually flicked his wide sleeves, speaking with pride and arrogance. "The Pavilion Master is my uncle."
"Ah."
Meng Qianqian responded with indifference.
Xiao Rong'er’s nephew.
Patriarch Xiao’s grandson.
Why were these young masters always so full of themselves?
"The young master of the Seven Stars Sect?"
She asked.
The man cleared his throat.
A servant beside him puffed out his chest. "He’s the eldest son of the Seven Stars Sect!"
The eldest son, but not the heir.
A secondary son.
Meng Qianqian lost interest and turned to leave.
"Hey—"
Xiao Chen extended his arm to block her path. "Sister, you’re leaving already? Stay and have a drink with me. I have a treasure to give you!"
Meng Qianqian said, "If you value your life, move out of the way."
Xiao Chen laughed in surprise. "What, a few years since I last visited, and someone at the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion dares to ignore me? You’re asking for trouble! I—ouch!"
He was just about to grope Meng Qianqian when someone kicked him away.
He fell awkwardly under a tree, unable to stand up from the pain.
"Master—"
His little lackey hurried over to help him up.
"Who dares to touch me, the master, and risk their life?"
Xiao Chen was about to call for his men to beat the intruder when he saw the wedding attire the other man was wearing. He immediately shut up.
Lu Qi said coldly, "Get out of Jin Wang Mansion."
Xiao Chen, supported by his lackey, clutched his aching chest and fumed, "I—I'm your brother-in-law!"
Lu Qi replied, "Out!"
Several experts from Jin Wang Mansion appeared, throwing Xiao Chen and his lackey out of the mansion.
Lu Qi didn't even glance at Meng Qianqian as he walked toward the grand hall where the banquet was set.
Meng Qianqian looked in the direction he had come from.
That should be where his bridal chamber was with Gongsun Liuying.
They had just completed the wedding ceremony.
In other words, he had left his bride right after entering the bridal chamber to entertain guests.
Meng Qianqian glanced at the tree Xiao Chen had crashed into and sighed, "Young man, you really have a short temper."
"Sister! Sister!"
Tan'er, holding a candy skewer, ran over excitedly.
Meng Qianqian asked, "What's wrong?"
Tan'er frowned, "The candy skewer is no good."
Meng Qianqian smiled, "When we get back to the capital, I'll buy you a hundred, enough to satisfy you."
Tan'er nodded contentedly and then giggled, "Sister, do you want to see a good show?"
Meng Qianqian asked curiously, "What kind of show?"
Tan'er's eyes sparkled, "The Emperor and the Miao King's show! It's so exciting and thrilling!"
Meng Qianqian's brow furrowed.
They were supposed to beat up Gongsun Yanming, so why were the Emperor and the Miao King fighting?
Meng Qianqian and Lu Zhaoyan arrived at the same time.
The Emperor and the Miao King were already locked in a fierce battle.
Yu Guan had his men guard the garden to prevent guests from witnessing the Emperor's fight.
Then he turned around and was startled by a group of people on the roof.
Yu Zichuan, Shangguan Ling, Ji Li, Si She, and Chen Long were all wide-eyed, watching intently.
It wasn't every day one could see two top-tier experts in action.
Just a few glances could be incredibly enlightening.
Lu Zhaoyan led Meng Qianqian into the garden.
One of them blocked the Emperor, the other blocked the Miao King.
Lu Zhaoyan hugged his father tightly, closed his eyes, and bravely advised, "Father Emperor, love the people like children, love the people like children!"
The Emperor was so angry that he trembled, using all his imperial might to suppress the rage inside him. He waved his sleeve, "Humph!"
Meng Qianqian said softly, "Grandfather, please stop fighting. I'm worried, and if you get hurt, I won't be able to explain to Grandmother."
Mentioning Xian'er, the Miao King immediately calmed down, "You noticed, didn't you? I'm about to win!"
Meng Qianqian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, but it is your grandson's wedding day. Can you give him some face?"
The Miao King put his hands on his hips, "Alright, since you asked, I'll give him some face!"
Meng Qianqian glanced at his slightly trembling right leg, "Grandfather is the best!"
The Emperor had kicked the Miao King, but the Miao King had also struck him with a hand strike, numbing his entire back.
Naturally, he wouldn't admit it.
The Emperor glared at him, "Love the people like children!"
The Miao King snorted, "A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father!"
The Emperor: "If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault!"
The Miao King: "If a disciple is disobedient, it is the teacher's fault!"
"Humph!"
"Ha!"
Both turned away, disapprovingly.
