The best county magistrate

Chapter 160 Sneaking out of the palace

A farce ended hastily like this.

However, the name of Yang Xuanchen, the magistrate of Qingshui County, quickly spread throughout the capital.

The wealthy county magistrate!

The Ten Nights of the Stone!

The only talented man who can leave his name on the thousand-word monument!

……

His popularity was so great that Jixia Academy and Sanwei Bookstore were surrounded by all the ladies from the capital.

Even the threshold of Mengpo Zhai was almost broken. There was no time to print the five-liang volumes of Stone Chronicles, and they were sold out in just one afternoon.

"Princess! Princess! Meng... Mengpo Zhai's book..." Zhi Nan yelled and returned to Yuhua Palace where Zhao Xue was.

Zhao Xue glanced at her and put down the letter in her hand, "Speak slowly, why are you so anxious?"

Zhinan took a few deep breaths and continued: "Mengpo Zhai's books were sold out. Eunuch Li came to ask if we should print more urgently?"

"Oh? Can this be sold short? I won't print it for now."

Regarding Zhao Xue's words, Zhinan's eyes widened with disbelief, "Princess, this is a great opportunity to make money, why don't you print it?"

"Master said that there are many ways to market. Now that we have established our reputation, we can develop another sales model."

Zhao Xue picked up the brush in front of her and wrote some words on the paper, "Go and give this note to Eunuch Li and ask him to do what it says."

"Huh? One hundred volumes are printed every day, each volume costs ten taels of silver, and there are only two times?" Zhi Nan was shocked when he looked at the words on the note.

"This is called the rare thing, the most valuable thing. Zhi Nan, go and make arrangements." Concubine Shu said as she came to the two of them with a face full of relief.

"The empress is a thousand years old..."

"Well, even Zhinan has imitated Yang's poor talk." Concubine Shu teased.

Zhi Nan stuck out half of his tongue and left the Yuhua Palace.

"Concubine, why are you here? If something happens, why don't you let Aunt Lan call me?" Zhao Xue said as he helped Concubine Shu sit on the couch.

"Nothing, I'm always bored in Fengming Palace. You and Yanli don't come to visit me often these days..."

Zhao Xue hugged Concubine Shu's arm and exclaimed, "Oh, I've been busy lately."

"What can you do?"

"Hehe, don't worry..." Zhao Xue ran to the desk and took out a small jar, then opened the lid and let Concubine Shu take a sniff.

"Huh? It smells so good. It smells like crabapple. What is this?"

Zhao Xue took some sticky liquid from a small jar and applied it to Concubine Shu's palm, and then Zhao Xue poured a little more water.

"Concubine, please rub it like soap."

After a while, Concubine Shu's hands became extremely smooth and tender, and she exclaimed miraculously, "This stuff smells better than soap, it's very good!"

"Hey, this shower gel is pretty good, isn't it? This is a product led by Erchen, isn't it great?" Zhao Xue smiled proudly.

"I didn't expect that my Xue'er would become more and more intelligent..." Concubine Shu said half a sentence, and then sighed.

"It's a pity that Yanli is such a headache. The older he gets, the harder it is to discipline him."

Zhao Xue found a piece of silk handkerchief and wiped Concubine Shu's hands, and then said: "That boy is very naughty. It's strange that the father only has one son..."

"By the way, isn't my father considering letting Yang Xuanchen stay in the capital as an official? Why not let him be the teacher of that boy Yan Li!"

Concubine Shu looked at Zhao Xue thoughtfully, and then asked with a smile: "Aren't we, Xue'er, also wanting that kid to be your teacher again?"

Zhao Xue lowered her head when she heard this. What kind of teacher should she be? It would be best to be a consort.

"Actually, your father also meant this, but Yang was kidnapped last night and almost died!"

The sudden words immediately aroused Zhao Xue's anger, "Who is so brave? Is Yang Xuanchen okay?"

Concubine Shu patted her hand and said a few words of comfort, "Don't worry, he's fine, but some people are starting to feel restless."

"Who?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I have already dealt with it one by one. Next, it depends on how Yang Xuanchen will act."

Zhao Xue didn't know much about imperial power, but he absolutely adored his mother and concubine, so naturally she would do whatever she said.

It's just that Yang Xuanchen is still a seventh-grade county magistrate and has no foundation in Shangjing City. How can he fight with those people?

"Mother, he has nothing in the capital, will something happen?"

Hearing this, Concubine Shu chuckled, "Silly girl, how could he have nothing? Your father and Liu Qingshan are his backers, but he hasn't turned a corner yet."

"Besides, Master Wang is still with him, no one can harm him!"

"Your father said, let this boy endure hardship first and experience the dragon's pond and tiger's den in the capital."

"This kid is still too soft-hearted. Being soft-hearted can't lead to big things!"

After saying that, she stood up and wanted to leave. Before going out, she said, "It's twenty-eight today, and the New Year will be celebrated in two or three days."

"It's not peaceful outside the palace these days. Please keep an eye on your brother and don't let him slip out of the palace."

As soon as Concubine Shu left, the eldest prince Zhao Yanli secretly entered the Yuhua Palace.

He sneakily avoided the eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs and came to Zhao Xue's bedroom, "Sister! Sister!"

There was a crisp sound and he was shocked. "What are you doing sneakily? Are you done with Master Murong's class?"

"We just finished. Qingluan just asked someone to invite me to Qinxinfang to listen to music. Would you like to go with me, sister?"

"No, my mother-in-law just came here and asked me to watch you and not allow you to leave the palace!" Zhao Xue replied angrily.

"What? Mother-in-law said that?"

Zhao Yanli sighed, then continued with a grimace: "What a pity, Qingluan said that his brother found a stunning beauty from nowhere."

"I am proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my voice is definitely better than Miss Dong from the Jiaofang Division."

"I won't go, and you are not allowed to go either! This is what the mother-in-law wants."

"Okay, okay, I won't go if I don't go. It's a pity." Zhao Yanli said and was about to leave. Leng Busheng turned around and spoke again, "I heard that Yang Xuanchen is a frequent visitor to Qinxinfang."

"Hiss~ It hurts, it hurts, let go!"

Zhao Xue picked up his ears and shouted with a blushing face: "Leave the palace immediately and go to Qinxinfang!"

Zhao Yanli was in pain, but his heart was filled with joy. He knew that you cared about Yang Xuanchen the most.

Murong Qingluan not only said that there will be beauties performing tonight, but there may be surprises for you when you go!

I just can't stand Yang Xuanchen's pretty face and let you turn to him. Let me reveal his true face tonight and tear apart his ugly face.

The only reason is that a few months ago, my father asked him whether he was interested in having another teacher, intentionally or unintentionally.

Well, I already have a master who teaches me civil and martial arts, so I don’t have time to play all day long. Now I might have another teacher, so I won’t have any time to play.

Moreover, this new teacher is most likely an unknown boy. Old Master Murong can’t teach me anything, so who else is qualified to teach me?

With such a mood, Zhao Yanli spent his days wandering around every day until he met Yang Xuanchen for the first time a few days ago.

He subconsciously felt that the pretty boy was very likely to become his teacher, so he resisted from the bottom of his heart and did not give him a good look.

He secretly sent someone to monitor Yang Xuanchen for several days, and finally he caught the opportunity. As long as his sister had an opinion about him, I believe his father, emperor, mother and concubine would give up their thoughts.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanli showed a subtle smile: "Sister, let's disguise ourselves and sneak out of the palace."

In the evening, the brother and sister, dressed as scholars, sneaked out of the palace and headed towards Qinyun Lake.

In Fengming Hall, Aerli stood beside Concubine Shu and whispered a few words.

Concubine Shu smiled and asked, "Are you following them?"

Ah Er nodded, and Concubine Shu said again: "Send someone to Sanwei Bookstore and ask Master Wang to take more care of those children."

"Yes!"
