Chapter 171 Active Qianqian
Governor's Mansion.
Baoshu and Tan'er went to Fufucen to take care of the flowers planted. Lu Yuan rarely had some leisure time and sat in the pavilion reading.
Ikukochuan sat on the top of the pavilion tinkering with his big bow.
Lu Yan turned a page of the book, moved to the left to avoid a brick, then raised his hand to the right and grabbed a tile. He caught it twice from left to right, and caught the three tiles firmly.
Throughout the whole process, his eyes never left the book in his hand, and he accurately predicted all of Yu Zichuan's house demolition procedures.
When he finished reading the last page, Yu Zichuan also finished demolishing the house, and Lu Yuan got up and left the pavilion.
The roof of the pavilion suddenly collapsed.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows calmly and walked down the steps.
"Grand Governor."
Qingshuang rushed over and pushed away the flying broken tiles with a palm, "Yu Zichuan, don't tear it down like this next time. Find a place where no one is around to tear it down."
Ikukochuan, who was hanging upside down on a branch: "Oh."
Lu Yuan's mouth twitched.
Qingshuang returned to the subject: "Grand Governor, the person who went to Madam's shop to cause trouble today is Princess Wanping. She forced Madam to leave the Grand Governor. She offered Madam ten thousand taels of gold and the position of Princess, but Madam refused."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and hummed.
Qingshuang: "Then Madam made a bet with her, and the bet was the Governor."
Lu Yuan: "..."
In the tea shop, Princess Wanping took a sip of tea arrogantly and said in a coquettish tone: "What do you want to bet with me on? It's not about a fight, right? Come on, I have countless masters who can fight with you."
Are you kidding me?
Chenlong is in your hands, who can beat him?
Casino veterans never make bets that are sure to lose.
Wait, why would I consider myself a casino veteran?
Meng Qianqian frowned seriously, where did my messy gambler's thoughts come from?
Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Meng Qianqian smiled at Princess Wanping and said, "The princess is an elegant person. Fighting and killing would lose her status as a princess."
Princess Wanping said slowly: "You can also play chess, calligraphy and painting. It's up to you to choose."
Meng Qianqian sighed with resentment: "Who doesn't know that Princess Wanping has learned a lot. If women are not allowed to join the officialdom, there must be a place for the princess in the court. Isn't it humiliating oneself to compete with the princess in chess, calligraphy and painting? You lose before you even bet." Isn’t this a bully, princess?”
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
Princess Wanping cleared her throat, held up the beads on her bun with one hand, and even spoke in a softer voice: "Then tell me, what are you betting on with me? I agree with everything. You are."
The female officer on the side quickly said something to stop her: "Princess! No! It's all up to her, in case -"
Meng Qianqian smiled: "Don't worry, princess. If you find it too difficult, you can refuse. Just pretend we didn't make this bet today."
Princess Wanping: "Stop talking nonsense."
Meng Qianqian said: "I am the Twelve Guards, and there are Twelve Guards beside the princess. Why don't we give it a month and see who can win over more Twelve Guards."
After the death of Marshal Chu, the Twelve Guards fell apart and went into separate camps. Not to mention drawing together, even the shadows could not be found.
Princess Wanping glanced at Meng Qianqian suspiciously: "Is this bet too difficult?"
Meng Qianqian spread her hands: "It's too simple and boring. I thought about it carefully and felt that this bet is the fairest for the princess and me. No one can take advantage of anyone else."
That's right, there were only two Twelve Guards in the capital, and Lin Waner could barely count as half of them. Lin Waner belonged to Concubine Li, and Concubine Li couldn't deal with either of them.
Princess Wanping: "If someone dies..."
Meng Qianqian: "Tokens also count."
Princess Wanping's eyes flashed, so she could win by winning over Lin Wan'er?
It's easy to say but difficult to do. The throne that should have belonged to her brother was taken away by Concubine Li's son, and she made trouble for Concubine Li.
Meng Qianqian said lightly: "If the princess doesn't dare to make a bet with Xiaojiu, just pretend that Xiaojiu didn't mention it today."
Princess Wanping said coldly: "When did I say that I dare not? Just gamble, will I be afraid of you? If you dare to default on your debt in a month, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Meng Qianqian smiled: "Yes."
Princess Wanping left in a grand manner with her servants, and the officials surrounding the teahouse door also withdrew.
Liu Changsheng took a breath and felt a little worried. He returned to the side room and said to Meng Qianqian: "My boss, do you really want to make a bet with Princess Wanping?"
Meng Qianqian heard the meaning behind his words: "Do you think my chances of winning are slim?" Liu Changsheng opened his mouth and admitted, "Yes."
Meng Qianqian snorted: "You can see this too."
Liu Changsheng was startled.
He originally thought that his boss would say, don't worry, I have a perfect plan.
I never thought that the boss was really gambling!
Meng Qianqian's chances of winning were really slim. Princess Wanping not only had Chen Long as her heavenly card, but also Xiangguo's trump card. But she only had herself and Ji Li, whose whereabouts were unknown.
If Ji Li doesn't come back within a month, she will definitely lose.
Even if he comes back, Chen Long has a great chance of conquering Ji Li.
Meng Qianqian said: "I just want to tell Lu Yuan that just because a person has no weaknesses, it does not mean that he cannot win. And sometimes, winning is losing, and losing is winning."
Betting was never her purpose. It was to use the power of the Prime Minister to make more Twelve Guards appear.
Meng Qianqian touched her chin: "Then first, we need to force Princess Wanping into a desperate situation, so that she will ask the Prime Minister to take action."

Liu Changsheng prides himself on being smart, but at this moment he really can't understand his boss's plan.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, all he has to do is trust and follow his boss.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Brother Wu opened the curtain for Meng Qianqian: "Miss, we're home."
Meng Qianqian nodded and got off the carriage.
Tan'er, who had been sitting on the threshold for a long time, suddenly stood up, grabbed the candied haws and rushed towards Meng Qianqian: "Sister! Something bad is going to happen!"
"What's wrong?" Meng Qianqian asked.
Tan'er said: "Let the Governor know about the bet between Ni and Princess Wanping. If Ni takes him as a bet, he will be very angry!"
Meng Qianqian's temples twitched: "You know... so soon? Who said that?"
Tan'er tilted her head: "Qingshuang said."
Meng Qianqian held her forehead, Qingshuang, why did you say everything? Can you still happily be a good sister?
She had been thinking about her words all the way, but now it was all over. The angry Lu Yuan couldn't listen to any words!
Meng Qianqian murmured: "Should I go back to Feng Shui Alley to hide for a while?"
Tan'er's face was serious: "You can't hide! I'm sorry, if a man is angry, he needs to be coaxed!"
Meng Qianqian said: "How to coax?"
Tan'er looked at the sky and thought for a while, then said vividly: "As my mother said, every man has a broken child living in his heart! If you don't coax the precious pig, you should coax him. It’ll take care of you!”
Meng Qianqian said nonchalantly: "Are you sure... do you want to do what you did to coax Baoshu?"
Tan'er pouted and nodded firmly: "Yeah!"
This is too difficult for her, but if the governor is angry, the consequences will be serious -
"...Okay, I'll try."
Meng Qianqian gritted her teeth and went to the study.
As Tan'er said, Lu Yuan was very angry. As soon as she entered the room, she felt the murderous aura coming towards her face. It was as if it had substance and she was so depressed that she didn't dare to breathe.
Sure enough, I have been a little distracted recently, and I have forgotten what a terrible person he is.
"Xiaojiu has met the Governor."
She bowed respectfully.
Lu Yuan ignored her, but his murderous intent became even stronger.
Do you really want to do this? Tan'er, does your move work?
You are a dead man, risk your life.
Meng Qianqian took a deep breath, walked to him, mustered up the greatest courage in her life, slowly stretched out her hand, and picked up Lu Yuan.
He sat on the chair, let Lu Yuan sit on his lap, and said affectionately: "Baby, I was wrong!"
Lu Yuan was completely confused: "...!"
Hahahahahahaha, Dadudu, is it exciting or not? Is it surprising?
