Chapter 283: Find a way to remedy the situation
An Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the clothes on the table back into Pei Liangchuan's arms, with her eyebrows raised, "Hurry up and change!"
An Jin has tolerated Pei Liangchuan's appearance for a long time. Since her relationship with Pei Liangchuan has become increasingly close, people who meet Pei Liangchuan always look at him with shock.
Even if I miss it for a moment, I will go back and look at it.
This made An Jin, who often traveled with him, extremely annoyed. He felt like a monkey being watched by others.
But Pei Liangchuan didn't know where he got his confidence from. He thought these people were staring at him because of his personal charm and trendy dress. He was particularly fond of this kind of local rich man's outfit and refused to change it.
Now that his eyes can finally be clean for a few days, An Jin can't wait.
An Jin insisted that Pei Liangchuan change, and even though Pei Liangchuan was reluctant, he had no choice but to do so. He took the clothes that looked tattered to him and went to the next room.
When he came back, he had changed into that outfit.
Shen Qionghua curled her lips and looked at him. She had to admit that Pei Liangchuan could be described as "handsome". Even with such crude and gray clothes on him, it still couldn't hide his outstanding temperament.
Even An Jin felt that Pei Liangchuan looked much more pleasing to the eye like this.
It was not like before when he walked on the street in golden clothes. When the sunlight shone on him, it was so dazzling that she didn't even want to look at him.
Only Pei Liangchuan was dissatisfied. He stroked the prickly fabric on his body and looked at An Jin with a rather resentful look, "What is this? It's not comfortable at all."
An Jin simply ignored it.
Pei Liangchuan reluctantly placed the clothes he had taken off, as well as the golden jade crown, golden belt, golden folding fan, etc. in his hands next to An Jin.
He instructed: "Please keep it for me first, I will change it when I come back."
An Jin: “…”
An Jin's mouth twitched, and he picked up the bundle containing another set of clothes and threw it into Pei Liangchuan's arms. He then stuffed the banknotes on the table into Pei Liangchuan's hands, pushed him to the door, and opened it.
"go quickly!"
Then he closed the door with a bang.
Pei Liangchuan was kicked out just like that.
Pei Liangchuan blinked and looked at the vermilion gate in front of him, as if he couldn't believe that An Jin was so ruthless that he drove him out without even saying goodbye.
He jumped up and down for a while, but finally kept the banknotes close to his body, walked out of the door of Shidinglou with a tattered bag on his back, and headed towards the horse shop.
He has to buy a good horse first.
Pei Liangchuan didn't notice that when he walked out of the door of Shidinglou with his bag on his back, two small vendors not far away were staring at him.
One of them quickly looked away, while the other frowned, feeling that Pei Liangchuan looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he was.
After Pei Liangchuan walked away, he withdrew his gaze, but his eyes were still fixed on the Shen Mansion's carriage parked in front of Shiding Tower.
……
After everything was explained clearly, Shen Qionghua talked with An Jin for a while, looked at the account book of Shidinglou, and then took Shaoyao and Gancao back to the Shen Mansion.
As soon as she got off the carriage, the doorman came forward with a smile and said, "Miss, Princess Pingning is here."
"Oh? When did you come?" Shen Qionghua asked.
"You just left and came here not long ago." said the servant.
Hasn't that been a while?
Shen Qionghua thought that Luo Xiyao must have heard the imperial decree this morning and came to the Shen Mansion to discuss it with her, so she quickened her pace and walked straight towards the yard.
As I walked through the gate, I saw Luo Xiyao at a glance.
"Xiyao!"
Luo Xiyao's eyes lit up when she heard Shen Qionghua's voice, and she turned around and shouted, "Qionghua!"
Shen Qionghua took her hand and walked into the house. As soon as they sat down, Luo Xiyao couldn't wait to ask, "Qionghua, have you heard the emperor's decree this morning?"
Shen Qionghua nodded.
Luo Xiyao immediately started to complain, "I don't know what the emperor was thinking, actually letting Prince An manage the army's food and fodder!"
"And that Prince An is really a man of many feet. Even though he was seriously injured, he couldn't wait to take charge of things the moment he was able to get out of bed. Right now, my cousin is fighting at the border, and food and fodder are the lifeblood of the army. What if he makes things difficult for my cousin?"
When mentioning Prince An, Luo Xiyao's expression was full of disgust.
This Prince An is simply a ghost that won't go away. If he can't live well himself, he won't want others to live well either!
Shen Qionghua sneered, "I can only say that Prince An's serious injury was a good move. At least he didn't let himself get hurt."
"What do you mean?" Luo Xiyao asked.
Shen Qionghua said softly, "Prince An's self-directed drama, firstly, won the hearts of the people and diverted their attention from his defeat to his injury, thus escaping punishment."
"Secondly, by showing weakness through this injury, he aroused the emperor's pity and care for him, while also arousing his fear."
She looked into Luo Xiyao's eyes and said, "One is a son who has experienced hundreds of battles, has the support of a powerful in-law, and is about to make another military achievement. The other is a son whose in-laws have been demoted, who has lost the battle, and is seriously injured and dying. No matter how you look at it, the former is the more threatening."
"The Emperor sent Prince An instead of the Prince before, wasn't it because he noticed the imbalance between the Prince and Prince An?"
"The Emperor wants to restore this imbalance, but he is not only the Emperor, he is also a father. He has a loving fatherly heart for the Prince and cannot bear to do anything to him."
"So, the best way is to let Prince An and Earl Yongning go on the expedition and accumulate military merits."
"In this way, Prince An's party is no worse than the prince."
"But who would have thought that Prince An and Earl Yongning would fail in their efforts and be defeated. The Emperor had no choice but to send the prince to fight."
"But if this happens, the prince will accumulate more military merits, and the balance between Prince An and the prince will be completely broken."
"The Emperor is trying to find a way to remedy the situation. Give Prince An the right to dispatch food and fodder. This way, when rewards are given out in the future, Prince An won't be overshadowed by the Prince."
