Chapter 275 The Princess Has a Bad Temper (13)
"You mean you'll help me?" Old Master Hu's eyes lit up, and he asked uncertainly.
"Of course, he's my subordinate, so naturally I have to take care of his worries."
"I need to think about it." Old Master Hu didn't dare to agree immediately, after all, his family's business was all here.
"No rush. Zhao Cheng will stay behind before we leave. You can discuss the follow-up matters with your son-in-law." Wangyou stood up and handed a token to Zhao Cheng. "You should know how to contact the person."
"Don't worry, Miss!"
"Alright, it's getting late. Could you please arrange a guest room for us to rest for the night, Mr. Hu? After all, it's getting late."
"Of course, it's all arranged. I'll take you there."
"No need, just find a servant."
After Wangyou politely declined, Master Hu did not insist and had someone take them to the guest room to rest.
The next day, Wangyou briefly explained some things to Zhao Cheng and then left him at the Hu family's house. After all, they were newly married and it wouldn't be good to break them up.
"Sister, will I ever see Brother Zhao Cheng again?"
"Yes, we will see each other when we return to Beijing."
"You even bring your bodyguards to help you with your marriage when you go out. Have you thought about your marriage?" Emperor Qianlong asked with a smile.
"Father, there's a whole circle of unmarried men and women standing here. Don't just focus on me, okay? Shouldn't it be Fifth Brother who should be getting married? How old is he already?" Wangyou decisively shifted the blame.
"Father, I'm not in a hurry," Yongqi said quickly when he saw that he had been called out, and then glanced at Xiaoyanzi.
Seeing this scene and observing the interaction between Ziwei and Erkang, Wangyou had to admit that the plot was quite compelling. She had even had Rong Momo break everything down and explain it to them, but it didn't seem to stop the situation from unfolding.
Seeing this, Wangyou naturally didn't say anything more. Let everything take its course, as long as it doesn't affect her.
As Emperor Qianlong looked at this group of unmarried children, his mind wandered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After leaving Caiyi Town, the group continued their journey.
As usual, Qianlong, Ziwei, and Xiaoyanzi were laughing and chatting together, while Wangyou, unusually, did not give Yongji a lesson.
"Fifth Sister, Sister Qing'er, Yongji, the next stop will probably be Yue Lao Town. I plan to select bodyguards for Yongji there. Do you two want to select a few as well? At least protecting you when you travel won't be a problem," Wangyou asked with a smile.
"Secret Guards? Me...us?" Qing'er almost exclaimed in surprise, then covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, should I let you choose, or should you choose yourselves?"
"Won't it cause problems if Father finds out?"
"He's always known I have bodyguards. I bet when we get back, Father Emperor will be worried about your marriages. Keep your own bodyguards; they'll give you confidence after you get married. If your husband's family treats you badly, beat them to a pulp," Wangyou said with a smile.
It sounded very appealing, and the two of them were indeed very interested in each other. Yongji didn't say anything, and his sister didn't ask him anything. It was better for him to just be a background figure.
They can have bodyguards too, how can they not be tempted?
"Wangyou, will it have any effect on you?" Zhiyao was very interested, but still wanted to confirm.
"No, as long as you promise me one thing."
"what's up?"
“I mentioned before that I would be making some big moves when I get back. I’m going to build a girls’ college, and I want you to be the teachers there and help me manage the school.”
"Really? Can we really do it?" Qing'er felt a fire burning in her heart.
"Of course, you two are talented women, why not!"
"Yes, of course I agree!"
"As long as you two agree, I'll take care of Father Emperor and Empress Dowager."
Now, Zhiyao and Qing'er have no worries at all.
Yongji listened with a face full of agreement. He had heard his sister talk about the changes of dynasties and the sacrifices women had to make. Master Ji would not go into detail about these historical events, so he had no objections at all and instead agreed wholeheartedly.
“Alright, since there’s no problem, I’ll take you to select bodyguards next. Ten years of honing a sword, it’s time to unsheathe it.” Wangyou said confidently.
Qing'er and Zhiyao were already imagining what they would do after becoming female teachers, and the two had a heated discussion, though they didn't speak loudly.
Upon arriving in Yue Lao Town and finding a place to stay, we discovered that the Yue Lao Temple was exceptionally lively.
Emperor Qianlong, who loved to join in the fun, couldn't possibly miss it, and the group of men and women who were mutually attracted wouldn't give up the opportunity to worship the Old Man Under the Moon.
Wangyou had indeed never been to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon. The Old Man Under the Moon on the temple had a kind and benevolent face, but Wangyou did not worship him. On the one hand, she did not seek marriage, and on the other hand, she was afraid that the statue of the Old Man Under the Moon would shatter.
She has no grudge against the God of Love, so why is she causing trouble for him?
After leaving the Temple of the Matchmaker, Emperor Qianlong's old habit relapsed, and he wanted to compose couplets. A series of sharp and round voices that were irritating to listeners made Wangyou not want to participate.
After Emperor Qianlong had satisfied his interest in couplets, the group did not linger, as it was getting late and it was time to return.
Wangyou greeted Qianlong and then quietly left with Qing'er, Zhiyao, and Yongji.
"Master, shall we follow them?"
"No need, Wangyou will protect them." Qianlong sighed, closed the window, and thought, "The children are grown up and ready to fly away."
Wangyou led the three into the carriage that had been prepared in advance, and then walked a long way with her eyes closed. Finally, when they heard that there was no more noise, they dared to open one eye.
Why are your eyes closed so tightly?
"It's your secret base after all, so we should be more considerate. Having bodyguards is already quite good," Zhiyao said with a smile.
"Alright, let's begin!" Wangyou waved her hand, and a group of guards filed in, with men and women standing on opposite sides.
"Fifth Sister, Qing'er Sister, it's enough for you two to each choose six. Yongji, go and pick twelve yourself."
The three nodded vigorously, their eyes glued to the black-clad guards, for they were all incredibly good-looking; there were hardly any ugly ones.
"Master, the complete list of all the secret guards is here!"
"After they finish their selection, cross out the names of the chosen bodyguards. From then on, they will have nothing to do with me."
"Understood."
How is our naval training going?
"Master, everything is proceeding according to plan, and we are ready to go into battle at any time. Master, is it time to fight?"
"No rush, wait for my orders. How's the arsenal?"
"As per the master's request, the range can now reach 300 meters, and further research is underway on longer ranges."
"Alright, I'll select some technical personnel from my budget. I'll take them to the capital to teach the people in the capital's firearms battalion a lesson."
"Your Majesty is wise; your subordinate will carefully select the right people."
"Jinming, you're twenty this year, right? Have you thought about settling down?"
"My lord, I am still capable of working and do not wish to get married so early."
"Okay, I won't rush you. Ask other people. If they want to, they can solve their lifelong problems."
"Yes, Master." Jin Ming saw that Wang You was just asking casually and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although marriage was good, he felt that being single was better. If one person is full, the whole family is not hungry.
