Chapter 310: 【309】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 160 (3 Updates)

Although she didn’t feel she had done anything wrong, this was ultimately someone else’s territory. A newborn calf isn’t afraid of tigers, but when it was time to seek help, it was necessary to do so; hence, she sent Yuanbao with the token Yan Qing had given her. "Go to Prince Qing Mansion and explain the situation here."

Yuanbao looked at the token in his hand for a long time before he reacted, then gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up, "Shopkeeper, you were so cool just now!"

Xiao Yu huffed, "Right? I thought so too, but, one mustn’t be too cocky, otherwise once the reinforcement arrives, we’re still doomed. Go quickly and find our support!"

What Xiao Yu didn’t know was that Princess Yijia and the princess from that day were the two legitimate daughters from Prince Zhao Mansion. Princess Yijia was Princess Yile’s elder sister and the marriage candidate that the Empress intended for Yan Qing. Prince Zhao was an alien prince who had accomplished great deeds in his early years following the late emperor father, thus he was enfeoffed as a hereditary prince who could not be replaced.

Because Yan Qing disliked this woman, he deliberately gave the Jade Pendant to Xiao Yu, lying that it had fallen into the sea. Since there was only one pendant, and he was unwilling to have it remade, the delay exacerbated Princess Yijia’s urgency.

She saw herself as the future Princess Qing, and although the Emperor had not decreed it, she felt she would marry no one but Yan Qing in this lifetime. Hence, whenever Yan Qing showed any behavior she deemed unworthy, she despised him for not being more competitive. Born of the same mother, why could someone else become the Crown Prince while he was only a leisure prince?

Put simply, she despised Yan Qing for lacking ambition, fearing she would end up in a remote and desolate fief with him. Thus, she was truly heartbroken for Yan Qing’s sake.

Having learned from her father that he had not attended court for several days, she rushed out without a second thought, only to encounter the formidable Xiao Yu, who literally fainted her with fury.

When she was carried back to the mansion, they encountered Prince Zhao who had just returned from outside. After understanding the exaggerated details, an irate Prince Zhao actually led his men to surround Xiao Yu’s modest Fisherman’s Noodle, luckily Yuanbao had already left to seek help, or else they would have been sealed off too!

Prince Zhao wasn’t very old, being in his fifties, tall and strong; this former general naturally had a different kind of physical strength.

After surrounding her noodle restaurant, he was in no hurry, just sat down energetically in the center of the main hall, and then the butler beside him began shouting out.

"Who is it? Who just now was sightless and fainted our Princess Yijia from Prince Zhao Mansion?"

Xiao Yu thought to herself, lucky the diners had all left, or else they would be terrified by this spectacle. Even the staff of their restaurant had been sent to the backyard by her before these people entered, so when the Chief Eunuch asked this, Xiao Yu chuckled lightly.

"Do you see anyone else daring to stand in front of you in our noodle shop? I am the humble one, who, just now, inadvertently offended the princess."

Prince Zhao’s gaze suddenly darkened, his voice grim and commanding.

"Young man, you are quite bold. You seem frail, but I heard you are capable?"

"Would I dare to show off in front of Your Highness Prince Zhao?"

"So you dare to act up in front of the princess? You made my daughter faint, and as a father, I had to personally come to meet you. What do you think would be a fitting way for me to deal with you?"
