Chapter 894: Chapter 711: Mr. Ban Shan’s Angry Birds
Do you remember the joke Gu Changsheng once told? “I always regard money and handsome men as dirt!”
Turns out, the reason she regards them that way is purely because others see her like that too, but Gu Changsheng is different!
To this, Gu Changsheng would just like to say: I really can’t do it!
Alright, she’s someone who regards money and handsome men as life itself!
Anyone who dares to make her lose money, she will surely go berserk, handsome men included!
Like the two handsome men and the beautiful woman in front of her, they’re definitely not spared!
“I’ll pay! I’ll pay! I’ll pay!” Having spent many days together, later enduring hardships together, Zhou Mu is the one who knows Gu Changsheng best, none other, so he resignedly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately turned her gaze to Yue Xilou and Borjigin Nian, they’re the real culprits behind her traveling palace losing a corner, can’t let them go!
“You! Is it really necessary?” Under Gu Changsheng’s grieving and accusatory gaze, Yue Xilou’s devilishly handsome face contorted a bit.
Gu Changsheng is the Southern Emperor, right? The Southern Emperor who governs the vast southern border of Bashu and added the former Southern Chen to the territory, right?
The dignified Southern Emperor, just because a corner of the garden was dismantled, is using this kind of gaze to accuse him, is this really okay?
Yes, Gu Changsheng is indeed accusing him because when she sees Yue Xilou, there’s only one thought, fat sheep! A flamboyantly dressed arrogant fat sheep! The wealth of the Flower Peacock is all flaunted in his colorful clothes!
The behind-the-scenes boss of the world’s number one Silver Bank, the boss of the world’s number one Brothel, the old base of the world’s number one Assassination Organization, Yue Xilou! In Gu Changsheng’s eyes, that equals fat sheep!
Yue Xilou is no fool, with a slight shift in thought, he discerned the deeper meaning in Gu Changsheng’s eyes, so his mouth twitched a bit, glaring at Gu Changsheng, he spoke, “This Tower Master is merely a Merchant…”
“The world’s richest Merchant!” As Yue Xilou’s words fell, Gu Changsheng didn’t hesitate to add.
“Being from the Itinerant World, you have to let this Tower Master keep some silver coin on him.” Yue Xilou was quite speechless.
“I just want to do a little opportunistic plundering!” Gu Changsheng marked with a little fingertip, her plundering intent completely unhidden.
Yue Xilou: “…”
“Look here, it really is true that wealth makes one unkind, Flower Peacock, you’re so rich, tearing down my traveling palace, are you seriously thinking of shirking the debt?” Seeing Yue Xilou silent, Gu Changsheng immediately switched to full-on mockery mode, saying this while patting Zhou Mu standing beside her, speaking proudly, “Look at how considerate my evildoer is, I said pay, and he didn’t even question!”
“Does this Tower Master have to be the same as him? After you two marry, is there any difference between yours and his?” Wouldn’t they all be one family? Yue Xilou felt quite frustrated.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s face immediately looked much better, and the eyes with which he looked at Yue Xilou no longer held the hostility of a rival!
“Flower Peacock, are you seriously thinking of shirking the debt?” Gu Changsheng glared, at the time of plundering, she was completely ruthless.
“This Tower Master…” Yue Xilou looked at the woman before him with relentless persistence, utterly helplessly sighed, “On the wedding day, after this Tower Master drinks the tea you offer, I’ll give you a meeting gift!”
Though this meeting gift feels somewhat disingenuous.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu’s face immediately blossomed like springtime, instantly warming the surrounding air!
“A big meeting gift?” Gu Changsheng blinked her innocent Phoenix Eyes, sparking bright bubbles in her eyes.
Money, money! Her greatest love!
“Big one!” Yue Xilou spoke with the tone of one conceding territory for reparations.
Gu Changsheng immediately smiled contentedly, then turned her head toward Borjigin Nian.
“You! Don’t look at me!” Seeing Gu Changsheng turn her head, Borjigin Nian immediately shook her hand, retreating a step, “My home was swept by my senior brother, my private stash is quite small!”
Don’t plunder her! She’s really poor!
She, Borjigin Nian, is indeed the poorest Princess ever seen!
“Hmph!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled her eyes, speaking with utmost disdain, “Never expected to pluck feathers from your scrawny camel back!”
Borjigin Nian: “…”
Her mouth twitched instantly, now she really wanted to hit the woman in front of her, what should she do?
The imagination was full, but the reality was thin. It turns out, she couldn’t win!
The corner of the traveling palace was left in chaos, heavily ravaged by the four, and by the time Mr. Ban Shan arrived, all four had vanished, leaving behind female officials orderly tidying the aftermath!
“These guys! These lawless guys! Do they have any semblance of conduct?” Mr. Ban Shan looked at the chaos before him, jumping up and down, “Come someone! Someone! Issue orders, today in the traveling palace, do not prepare meals for those few, I want to see if, with empty stomachs, they can still muster the strength to make trouble!”
Does this look like someone about to wed? Does this look like someone to be the Southern Emperor?
They’re basically a bunch of unruly street thugs, I’m so furious, I’m so furious!
“Sir…” The female official attending nearby heard and timidly stepped forward, her face pale as she replied, “Sir, His Majesty said he would throw a big tantrum when you rush over, so they went out shopping…”
They didn’t eat at the traveling palace, you won’t go hungry waiting…
They’re very foresighted!
The female official was sweating profusely, holding a deep admiration for her Majesty!
“…Scoundrel!” Mr. Ban Shan’s beard twitched several times in frustration, stomping his feet in fury.
Female official: “…”
Dare not respond! Sir is the foster father of our Majesty, and our Majesty’s filial piety to Sir is evident to all. What can they say when the foster father talks of his daughter? They can only play deaf and dumb, pretending not to hear!
“Their wings have hardened! They’re rebelling!” Mr. Ban Shan exclaimed anxiously, pacing around in circles, then turned and walked towards the study, “No way! Can’t let that unfilial girl do as she pleases, this is a marriage, a royal wedding, and she dares to cause such chaos, running off here and there, not putting a shred of thought into it, not a bit of decorum. How can I, as her foster father, discipline her if not properly, how can I explain to her biological father? I must write to Wuchang Taitian again, urging him to hasten his journey!”
In the eyes of the world, Gu Changsheng’s biological father was from the Wuchang Clan of Bashu, honored as the Lord of the Southwest!
“Sir, you’ve already sent two letters to The Lord, didn’t he reply saying he’s on his way?” The female official heard this, her sweat trickling down faster.
This foster father and biological father are clearly corresponding back and forth, obviously targeting their Majesty!
“Then hurry them a bit more, no way! How about you all leave the Capital City to welcome them! That girl left unattended for three days, and already she’s causing trouble!” Mr. Ban Shan shook his head. Not just causing trouble, she’s practically dismantling the traveling palace!
“Sir, the entourage to welcome The Lord and the late Emperor’s Highness has already left the Capital City…” The female official said helplessly.
“It’s not the late Emperor’s Highness, Wuchang Taitian said his deceased wife still has a chance of resurrection!” Mr. Ban Shan turned back after hearing this, instructing with a stern face, “Pass this down, let everyone in the traveling palace be mindful not to say anything wrong, lest it inexplicably saddens the father and daughter!”
Resurrection, how easy is that to talk about? But the biological father of Changsheng’s beloved daughter is firmly convinced, and even his beloved daughter is quite adamant, so how can Mr. Ban Shan proceed?
Even if he doesn’t believe the dead can truly be resurrected, he can only express support!
“Yes! I am guilty! It’s Sovereign Highness!” The female official heard this, with a shiver in her heart, hurriedly correcting herself.
Only then did Mr. Ban Shan fall silent. He heard his beloved daughter mention that her biological father would bring back a coffin; his first reaction was to set up a funeral hall, but after listening to his beloved daughter’s words, he decisively gave up!
Parents love their daughters, planning for the long term. A pair of parents, amid the past regime changes at the Southern Border, risked their lives to protect their unborn daughter. Such emotions are worthy of respect, and so are such people!
If bringing Fenghuang Ruoshui back to life is the sole hope for this father and daughter, then as a family member, he will certainly not become the one to shatter this hope!
“Resurrection, spring returning to a withered tree… so difficult! The little monk even lets them father and daughter run wild, giving them such an unrealistic hope!” After pondering, Mr. Ban Shan still sighed, he truly couldn’t bear to see his beloved daughter Changsheng disappointed…
But Gu Changsheng clearly does not think so right now, Gu Changsheng feels, life is quite complete!
Just robbed Yue Xilou of a heist, how can it not be complete?
She has already decided that if Yue Xilou does not give her a grand welcoming gift, she’ll go loot his Cool Breeze Bright Moon Tower in the Capital City, hmph hmph!
“Candied hawthorn! Sweet and sour candied hawthorn!”
“Sugar figurines! Non-sticky, sweet to the heart sugar figurines!”
“Buns, fragrant and big buns, two wen money each!”
“…”
The streets were filled with loud hawking, a complete picture of a peaceful prosperous age.
Gu Changsheng, dressed in red, wore a mermaid silk felt hat, accompanied by a few others similarly hatted, strolling enthusiastically down the bustling street, carrying snacks in her hands.
The four of them dressed very ordinarily when they went out, but their bearing and aura inevitably drew glances from those on the street.
Even if they didn’t show their faces, the aura was unmistakably there, wasn’t it?
At a small stall selling clay dolls, Gu Changsheng eagerly picked at the adorably sculpted figures.
“Hey, did you notice, in the Capital City, many women are wearing red clothes!” Borjigin Nian nudged Gu Changsheng’s arm, refraining from calling her by name on the street.
“Huh? Didn’t notice.” Gu Changsheng’s eyes were glued to the dazzling array of clay dolls, so cute, so adorable!
“One look and you can tell the customer is from out of town. You’re here to witness the grand wedding of the Southern Emperor and our Great Zhou Crown Prince, right?” The stall vendor was a savvy young man who, upon seeing the seemingly ordinary attire of the person in front of him, realized upon closer inspection that the dress exuded understated extraordinariness, and he spoke up.
“Yes indeed! Here to attend.” Gu Changsheng, while picking clay dolls, replied enthusiastically. Isn’t she the main character, the actual protagonist! If she doesn’t attend the wedding, there won’t be a bride!
