The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Chapter 263 Entering Jianmen Pass

Luo Li, who was detained in the palace by the emperor's order to learn court etiquette from Queen Song, was now leaning on a low couch in a very ungraceful manner, with her face tilted up and her mouth open, throwing popcorn into her mouth one by one out of boredom.

Queen Song walked in and saw her like this, and sighed helplessly: "Alas! ... Li'er, I just taught you to sit properly yesterday, and you forgot it today?"

Luo Li sat up straight, threw the popcorn in her hand into the box, and said aggrievedly: "Mother, it's okay to sit upright for a while, but if you keep sitting upright for half a day, you will be exhausted. Do whatever is comfortable for you. Only then can you realize the true meaning of life!"

Princess Yongqing, who was standing nearby, chuckled and went over to help her mother sit down. "Mother, I can't control my sister-in-law. If she doesn't make me collapse on the couch and throw popcorn into my mouth, I'll be considered strong-willed."

Queen Song poked her daughter's forehead with her finger and said angrily, "Yongqing, don't let your sister-in-law lead you astray. She is spoiled by your brother without limits, but your future husband will not spoil you like this."

Luo Li encouraged him disapprovingly, "Yongqing, we don't want a man who doesn't love and pamper his wife. The emperor's sister-in-law will help you find a good man who will love his wife."

Princess Yongqing smiled with her eyes curved, "Okay, I'll entrust my lifelong affairs to you, my sister-in-law. However, the title of Madam and Daughter-in-law is so nice, but you are always called Wife, Wife, it's so ugly. When such a delicate beauty is called Wife, I thought she was an old woman with white hair, wrinkles all over her face, and a hunched back!"

Luo Li smiled and said, "I forgot. I blurted it out again. Husband and wife are nicknames for each other. They sound so intimate!"

"If you have the ability, you can call my royal brother wife and husband by their affectionate terms every day!" Princess Yongqing joked.

Luo Li suddenly lowered her head shyly, fiddling with her clothes with her hands, her voice soft but clear: "We call each other wife and husband when we are intimate and passionate..."

"......?" Princess Yongqing blushed.

“……?” Queen Song blushed.

The coy Luo Li couldn't help but reveal her own trick first. She giggled and fell backwards on the couch.

Princess Yongqing also blushed and giggled.

Queen Song stood up helplessly and walked out: "I can't stand it anymore, you two sisters-in-law are hiding in this room and going crazy! Wanting, help them close the door tightly, you stand guard at the door, don't let anyone hear the joke."

The maid Wanting smiled and smiled, escorted the queen out of the room, closed the door tightly, and stood guard at the door with her head down. Her ears were perked up, listening to the funny and crazy words said by the Princess Qin and the princess in the room.

Wanting's eyebrows curved, the corners of her lips curled up, and she was in a happy and cheerful mood. Ever since the Princess of Qin moved into the dull and cold Yayan Pavilion, there has been constant laughter in the courtyard. The princess was so happy that the eunuchs and palace maids who served her were in a happy mood and walked lightly. Even the depressed queen smiled every day.

The Princess of Qin seemed to have a kind of magical power. She seemed to be rude in her speech and improper in her manners, but she could always lead people into a relaxed and happy state without them realizing it, making them indulge in it with joy and obsession.

The eunuchs and maids in the Yayan Pavilion not only did not despise the Princess Qin, but instead felt inexplicably close to her. They liked to hear her clear and sweet laughter like a silver bell, and they wished that the Princess Qin, who had become a lively figure in the Yayan Pavilion, would live in the Yayan Pavilion forever and never leave the palace. …………

Kou Zhun, accompanied by his servant Kou An, and escorted by his shadow guards Mo Cheng and Mo Chi, rode at full speed, overtaking the imperial army that was suppressing the rebellion, and arrived at Jianmen Pass.

Kou Zhun, who was walking with difficulty leading the horse, stopped and looked up at the most precipitous pass in the world sandwiched between two mountain peaks.

The cliffs of Dajian Mountain and Xiaojian Mountain on both sides looked like they were cut by gods, making it difficult for monkeys to climb and birds to fly over. The angle difference between the two peaks was huge, and at the end of the steep stone steps was a majestic and dangerous pass.

"It is indeed a gate that has never been breached from the north. It is really a one-man-guard-a-thousand-man-cannot-break!" Kou Zhun sighed. He felt lost. Could the 60,000-strong imperial army to suppress the rebellion break through Jianmen Pass? How could he rescue his mentor who was trapped in the rebel prison?

Perhaps the rebels learned that the imperial army was about to arrive to suppress the rebellion, so the two wide and heavy gates of Jianmen Pass were closed tightly. The soldiers guarding the pass stood on the wall with weapons in their hands, each of them standing straight. A solemn and murderous atmosphere filled the air in front of this extremely steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack gate.

Kou Zhun frowned, thinking about how he could open the gate and sneak into Shu.

The shadow guard beside him, Mo Cheng, smiled slightly and said, "Master Kou, please wait here for a moment. I will go and ask the door to be opened."

Kou Zhun nodded and looked at Mo Cheng with suspicion as he climbed the steep stone steps to the tightly closed gate. Being far away, he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying to the guards on the wall.

After a short while, the tightly closed door opened, and a tall young general walked out with more than a dozen personal soldiers.

Kou Zhun felt relieved. The gate was really opened by Mo Cheng. As long as they passed Jianmen Pass, it would be easy to go to Chengdu Prefecture.

Seeing Mo Cheng and the young general getting closer and closer, talking intimately with smiles on their faces, Kou Zhun turned to look at Mo Chi in surprise, with surprise and inquiry in his eyes?

Mo Chi smiled brightly and gave the answer: "Lord Kou, the guards at Jianmen Pass are our own people."

Kou Zhun was shocked! His heart was beating wildly as he thought, was I sent into a den of thieves by two bodyguards? These two highly skilled guards were sent to me by the Princess of Qin. Is the Princess of Qin secretly colluding with these rebels...? Kou Zhun didn't dare to think any further.

Jianmen Pass guards Yunlong and Mo Cheng were chatting and laughing cordially as they came to greet Lord Kou Zhun in person.

Arriving in front of Kou Zhun, Yunlong clasped his fists and saluted, "General Yunlong, I greet Lord Kou."

[You are a subordinate general? Whose subordinate are you, a traitor? I am an official appointed by the imperial court. ]

Kou Zhun was complaining in his heart, but he put on a smile on his face and bowed, "General Yun, you are too polite. Kou Zhun and his companions would like to borrow the passage to Chengdu Prefecture. Please help us."

Facing this young man who was the future highest official of Sichuan and Shu, who was personally appointed by the prince and abducted by the princess, Yun Fei said respectfully: "Sir Kou, just pass through the city. If you need anything, just tell me."

"I dare not! Since General Yun has allowed it, we will immediately enter the city and head straight to Chengdu Prefecture." Thinking of avoiding any trouble, Kou Zhun quickly passed through the city and went to Chengdu Prefecture to visit his mentor.

Yun Fei extended his hand and invited him, "Master Kou, please!"

Kou Zhun was full of questions and confusions, and he entered Jianmen Pass accompanied by General Yun.
