  Chapter 89 Trouble

  Emperor Xingyuan was born very well, with a smooth face and exquisite features, especially a pair of big and long eyes, which are slightly hooked to the end of the eyes. Even at this age, the impression left by one person is that he is handsome and extraordinary.

  King Qing was also born well, and King Xiu was also good-looking, but both of them followed their respective mothers and concubines in appearance, and there were not many similarities with Emperor Xingyuan.

   King Qing looked at it after paying his respects, and suddenly realized why he saw the girl Kou who opened the bookstore familiar.

  She looks like her father!

  She actually looks like her father!

  Emperor Xingyuan noticed King Qing's distraction: "Erlang?"

  King Qing came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Father looks so young, my son was stunned for a moment."

  Serious as Emperor Xingyuan, he couldn't help but bend his lips after hearing this: "Boss is not young, don't be so slick."

   "My son really thinks so."

  Xing Yuandi asked a few things outside the palace, and said lightly: "Go and see your mother and concubine."

   "Son resigns."

   King Qing and King Xiu retreated together, and Emperor Xingyuan never asked King Xiu alone from the beginning to the end.

  Out of the Qianqing Palace, King Qing's attitude towards King Xiu became more casual, and after saying goodbye, he walked towards the bedroom where Concubine Shu was staying.

  Xiu Wang looked at his brother who seemed to be in high spirits even when he was walking, slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, lowered his eyebrows and looked in the other direction.

  In the Hanfu Palace, Concubine Shu had already prepared food and drinks for her son.

   "Your Majesty, Prince Qing is here."

   As soon as the palace man finished speaking, King Qing strode in: "Mother, concubine, I'm here."

   Concubine Shu smiled: "How is it in the palace? It's getting cold recently, so don't be greedy for the cold."

Unlike Emperor Xingyuan who could often see his son, princes like King Qing and King Xiu who went out of the palace to start a mansion usually only visit the palace on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar new year to visit their biological mother. Concubine Shu is naturally thinking about it.

   "Understood, how old is my son, and I say this every time I meet."

  Facing her son's impatience, Concubine Shu didn't take it seriously, and asked with a smile, "Have you ever been to your uncle's house?"

"went."

   "How are they all?"

"Alright. My cousin and I also went to a bookstore, and that bookstore—" Facing Concubine Shang Shu's interested eyes, King Qing swallowed the words that the owner of the bookstore is a girl who looks like his father, "The bookstore has a new bookstore. If so, the book is pretty good, it's called "Painted Skin", has the concubine mother read it?"

  Concubine Shu smiled: "The inside of the palace is no different than outside the palace. How can there be these books to read. Erlang, you are getting older, so don't read these idle books—"

   "Got it, got it. Concubine Mu, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." King Qing didn't want to listen to Concubine Shu's rambling, and was about to leave.

   "Aren't you staying for lunch?"

   "Next time, my son really has something to do."

  Concubine Shu walked to the gate of the palace, looking forward to seeing her son walk away, her face full of reluctance.

   "Xiao Mingzi, go back and buy two copies of "Painted Skin" from outside the palace, I will take a look."

"yes."

  Prince Qing left the palace, not wanting to go back to the palace for a moment, and went in the direction of Qingsong Bookstore in a flash.

  Xin You returned to Shaoqing Mansion, and not long after, a message was sent from the front that a guy named Shi Shi came to look for her.

  Xin You knew something was up as soon as she heard it, and went to the front immediately.

   "Boss, it's not good, there are a lot of students from the Imperial College coming to our bookstore to make trouble!"

   "Is it because of "Painted Skin"?"

  Shitou nodded hurriedly: "Yes, they heard that someone bought the lower part of "Painted Skin" in advance, and thought it was unfair, so they came to make trouble."

   "No hurry, you go back first, tell the shopkeeper that I will be there soon."

  Xin You went to Ruyi Hall.

   "Grandma, something happened suddenly at the bookstore, I have to rush back to deal with it, so I won't eat at home."

   "What's the matter?"

   "A difficult customer is here, I'll go and have a look."

  The old lady frowned: "Just say that doing business is not easy, go ahead."

   If there is more, there will be no more.

  Of course, Xin You would not expect the people from the Shaoqing Mansion to do anything, but was happy that no one would intervene, and met Duan Yunlang when walking out.

   "Where is cousin going?"

   "Go back to the bookstore."

  Duan Yunlang turned around when he heard this: "Go back to the bookstore? Didn't you just come back from the bookstore?"

   "Students from the Imperial College came to make trouble."

   "No way!" Duan Yunlang was shocked, "Cousin, I'll go and see it with you."

  Xin You didn't refuse, and reminded Duan Yunlang on the way to the bookstore: "The identity of the supervisor who will come to the bookstore to make trouble is probably not simple. If my cousin knows each other, you only need to tell me the identity of the other party, and don't conflict with them."

  Duan Yunlang readily agreed.

  When the two cousins ​​arrived, there were already many people around the door of the bookstore.

   Noisy voices came out: "Since the lower part of your "Painted Skin" has been printed, why should you treat it differently? Could it be that people in Guchangbo's mansion are more noble than us, and they look at the dishes?"

   "That's right, that's right! Thanks to the rules and waiting for the new book to be released, we've already sold it out..."

  They were all young and energetic students with good backgrounds. Shopkeeper Hu wiped his sweat and caught sight of Xin You.

   "Master!"

  The person blocking the door subconsciously stepped aside, and Xin You walked in.

  The leading supervisor had a pair of thick eyebrows, and when he saw Xinyou, he looked him over: "Are you Miss Kou, the owner of Qingsong Bookstore?"

  Xin You also looked at the other party: "The guest is—"

  Actually, when she came in, Xin You already knew the identity of this person from Duan Yunlang.

  This young man who looks sixteen or seventeen years old is named Zhang Xu, and he is the grandson of the chief minister of the dynasty. No matter how specific it is, it's too late to understand.

   "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that your bookstore treats you differently!" Zhang Xu snorted coldly.

  God knows how angry that kid Daize was when he showed off the lower part of "Painted Skin" in front of him.

  Why, Dazzle can have it, but he doesn't deserve it? If his grandfather didn't let him rely on his family background to suppress others, he would have forced this poor bookstore to hand over the lower part of "Painted Skin", and it would be Dai Ze's turn to be complacent?

  "Treat differently?" The girl surrounded by dissatisfied supervisors opened her eyes slightly, with an innocent face, "There is no difference, isn't it true that no one sold it to you?"

   Zhang Xu became even angrier when he heard this: "You didn't sell it to us, but you sold it to Dai Ze from Guchangbo Mansion!"

Xin You looked puzzled: "You mean Mr. Dai? The distinguished guest misunderstood. Our bookstore didn't sell him, but I personally gave him a copy. Well, as the master, it shouldn't violate the law to give away your own things. Bar?"

   "For him?" Zhang Xu froze for a moment.

  Why didn't that kid Dai Ze say it was a gift!

   Discovering a misunderstanding, a gentleman like Zhang Xu couldn't help but apologize: "Why didn't I hear that Dai Ze and Miss Kou had friendship?"

"There is no friendship, but he came with His Royal Highness Prince Qing. I heard that His Royal Highness Qing likes "Painted Skin", and it just so happens that the lower part of "Painted Skin" has been printed. I, as the host, got excited and sent His Royal Highness Qing and Mr. Dai alone. One copy." When Xin You said this, her face showed embarrassment, "If the distinguished guests say that they should not be treated differently from His Highness Prince Qing, then I can give each of you a copy."

   "This—" Zhang Xu caught sight of King Qing at the door and coughed fiercely, "How can this be done!"
