Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 112 Three People and One Collaboration

Zhao Junning arrived at the Rouge Shop, "The boss has almost finished cleaning up the shop and will be open soon."

Zhao Junning looked around and said, "Okay." A carriage stopped outside the Rouge Shop. A girl got off the carriage with her face covered, and another girl got off behind her.

"This is Zhao Junning's rouge shop." Zhao Junning heard the familiar voice and went out to see that it was Wang Xuan and Gao Xue. The two were no different from their previous life. Although they behaved in a dignified manner, they were dressed in flashy clothes, as if they wanted to put all the good things on them.

Wang Xuan saw Zhao Junning and forced a smile: "Junning, we heard that you opened a shop so we came to take a look."

Zhao Junning smiled and said, "It's my honor that you two can come to visit me, but..."

Gao Xue asked, "But what?" Zhao Junning explained, "My shop will be open for two days, so I can't invite you two in for tea."

Gao Xue muttered, "Who wants to drink your tea?" At this time, another carriage drove over, and it looked like it was from the palace. A noble and elegant woman came out of the carriage, covering her face. It was Xiao Yule and Xiao Yufu.

Gao Xue hurried forward and saluted: "Fifth Princess, why are you here?" Xiao Yule was a straightforward person. Seeing Gao Xue's hypocrisy, she asked: "You can come to me, but you can't come?"

Xiao Yufu stepped forward and said, "Fifth sister, can't you be gentler to Gao Xue?" Xiao Yule glanced at Xiao Yufu and said, "She is your little sister, not mine."

Gao Xue looked embarrassed, so Wang Xuan was smarter than Gao Xue and stepped forward: "Fifth Princess, Ninth Princess, long time no see." Xiao Yule treated Wang Xuan better than Gao Xue: "Miss Wang, long time no see. You look much better. Nanny will come to the mansion in a few days to teach you new rules. Be prepared."

Zhao Junning looked at Xiao Yule. Although she did not have Xiao Yumiao's innate arrogance that could not tolerate anyone except the emperor's own mother, she also had the temperament of "stay away from strangers and don't talk to fools". Her sober and beautiful temperament was very comfortable.

Xiao Yule walked straight towards Zhao Junning, who bowed and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess." Xiao Yule's expression seemed to have not changed. Xiao Yufu also came over and used the same words on Zhao Junning. Just when Gao Xue was about to be proud that Zhao Junning was going to be embarrassed by Xiao Yule, Zhao Junning's expression was very relaxed.

Xiao Yule stepped forward and helped Zhao Junning up, "No need to be polite." This action made everyone present dumbfounded, including Zhao Junning. Xiao Yule saw that Zhao Junning was a little uncomfortable and smiled and said, "Zhao Junning, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you feel unfamiliar with me?"

Zhao Junning forced a smile and thought to herself: "We met when we were kids, but were we ever so close?" Xiao Yule looked at Zhao Junning.

Zhao Junning thought about it carefully. When she was a child, Gao Xue and Wang Xuan planned to push her into a dry well. She was rescued and woke up in Xiao Yule's bed. Then her relationship with Xiao Yule improved. Later, she went to Yangzhou with her parents.

"I thought our closeness as children only lasted until then, but I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness, who is so noble, would still remember to be so friendly to me."

Xiao Yule pinched Zhao Junning's face and said, "You are still as cute and cautious as when you were little. Fortunately, you are not the wife of one of my brothers in the palace, otherwise you would be very frustrated with your personality."

Zhao Junning touched the cheek that was pinched by Xiao Yule. Xiao Yule held Zhao Junning's hand and said, "Now that you and Li Ziyan are married, I think it's a good match."

Xiao Yufu was puzzled: "Fifth sister, why are you so close to her?"

Xiao Yule looked at Zhao Junning and smiled: "Because I like playing with her."

Xiao Yufu was unhappy and stepped forward: "Zhao Junning, it's really shocking that you are still safe and sound."

Zhao Junning nodded: "Yes, thank you Princess Nine for leading my husband that day and successfully suppressing the bandits and saving me. I wanted to thank Princess Nine very much."

Zhao Junning said the word "thank you" heavily. Xiao Yufu smiled guiltily: "You're welcome."

Xiao Yule also knew about Xiao Yufu's stupid behavior in Liangzhou. Wang Xuan knew what had happened between Xiao Yufu and Zhao Junning, but she didn't know what was going on between them.

After the court session, Li Ziyan, Xu Wenhe and Lin Muchen walked out of the court together. Xu Wenhe put his arm around Li Ziyan and Lin Muchen's shoulders with a smile on his face and said excitedly: "Great! From now on, the three of us can fight side by side and handle government affairs together!" Lin Muchen also smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement: "That's right!"

At this moment, Qin Zhuoyuan suddenly called out from behind them: "Three adults, please stay!" Hearing Qin Zhuoyuan's voice, Li Ziyan stopped and turned around to watch him approach slowly. Qin Zhuoyuan walked up to the three people and said with a smile: "From now on, we will work together and serve the court."

Xu Wenhe deliberately responded in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, how dare we accept it? You are the Prince's tutor, a distinguished person, how can we be compared with you? The only one who can be on equal footing with you is probably Brother Ziyan." Li Ziyan understood what Xu Wenhe said and took the opportunity to take over the conversation: "That's right, I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

Qin Zhuoyuan saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly laughed dryly, trying to ease the situation: "We are all friends who grew up together, why should we be so unfamiliar and polite? Mu Chen, I want to sincerely congratulate you!" Lin Mu Chen nodded slightly and replied softly: "Thank you."

Xiao Zhengchu then stepped forward, looking at Li Ziyan with a smile and saying, "Young Marquis, it's not that easy to get into the officialdom! It's much more difficult than climbing over walls, entering houses, and gambling for fun! I wonder if you can hold on?"

Hearing this, Li Ziyan hurriedly bowed and responded, "Your Highness, what you said is absolutely right! It seems that I hold a special place in your heart! Your Highness cares about me so much that he even remembers all those shameful things I did in the past."

Xiao Zhengchu couldn't help but be stunned by Li Ziyan's shameless attitude. He was speechless for a moment, but still responded casually: "Well, he is indeed very prestigious."

And this is exactly what Li Ziyan was waiting for. He immediately climbed up the ladder, patted his chest and promised solemnly: "In this case, I will redouble my efforts and deeply imprint my lofty status in my mind in the heart of Your Highness the Crown Prince!" After hearing this, Xiao Zhengchu was speechless and just smiled.
