Chapter 337 The Fat Concubine is Extremely Talented; She Speaks 8 Languages (7)
The former city lord spat a mouthful of blood onto several copper coins.
He amassed wealth throughout his life, but in the end, it all came to nothing!
"Princess Qi, you've gone too far..." The former city lord pointed at Su Dingding, then died from his shock.
Su Dingding ordered his men to drag him away; he brought it on himself!
Yuncheng has a rather unique geographical location, bordering three vassal states.
Under Su Dingding's leadership, Yuncheng began to trade with neighboring countries.
In addition to promoting tourism and culture, there are also night markets and food streets.
In just three years, Yuncheng's economy has developed by leaps and bounds.
Whether it's day or night, it's always bustling with activity.
Su Dingding often wanders around night markets and food streets when he has nothing to do.
She couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
However, she was the fattest person in the entire Yuncheng, so she couldn't disguise herself and was recognized every time she went out.
However, the people of Yuncheng all adore her, and she can even eat and drink freely on the food street by simply showing her face.
If she eats something at a restaurant, the business will definitely become better.
Su Dingding didn't want to take advantage of ordinary people, so she would usually just top up her account at the restaurants she had eaten at to become a VIP diner!
That day, she was happily eating a large handful of fried skewers.
Suddenly, I overheard two people speaking the Shu dialect plotting something.
They changed their clothes and blended into the crowd; if it weren't for the language barrier, you really wouldn't recognize them.
"Once you arrive in the capital, give this letter to Lord Ying, and he will naturally arrange an official position for you."
"Once I enter the court as an official, that little girl's death won't be far off!"
"If we join forces with the Yue Kingdom, it shouldn't be long before we can swallow up this Great Ao Kingdom."
Su Dingding ate his kebabs, his brows furrowing slightly.
What a huge mouth it has, daring to swallow a giant griddle!
Even if they had the mouth, they probably didn't have the stomach to digest it!
One of the men from southern Sichuan noticed that Su Dingding was looking at them and was taken aback.
"That's Princess Qi!"
"Don't worry, Princess Qi wouldn't be able to understand our Shu dialect anyway."
"That's true. If we laugh and tease her, she might think we're praising her beauty!"
The two men from southern Sichuan burst into laughter.
Su Dingding went over and slapped them all, knocking them unconscious.
Because they also had to hold the skewers, they had to squeeze both of them under their left armpits.
The people were used to it. Their city lord, Princess Qi, often caught petty thieves. For a long time, no one dared to cause trouble in the night market and food street, because those who were caught were sent to do hard labor. It was said that unless they died, they would never have a chance to get ahead in this life.
Back at the city lord's mansion, Su Dingding threw the two Shu people on the ground.
"Gangzi, we have a job!"
Gangzi skipped and hopped out.
After some questioning, Gangzi learned that it was going to the capital again.
The empress was young and needed someone to support her, so for the past few years, it had been traveling back and forth between Yuncheng and the capital.
No one would have guessed that the Empress's backer was a dog!
The Empress is now seven years old, but she already possesses the maturity and composure of a twenty-seven-year-old, though she still occasionally reveals her childlike nature.
She was always happy to see Gangzi. In this palace, apart from her mother, no one could be trusted.
This dog, who often comes to play with her, is her best friend.
"Little Fuzi," this was the name the Empress gave Gangzi, "After two months apart, you've finally remembered me!"
Gangzi sat beside the Empress, his neck wrapped around her arm. "Things have been peaceful these past two months, so I haven't come."
"So you only come to me when something happens in the palace?" the young empress asked.
【You can't deliberately cause trouble!】 Gangzi saw through the little empress's thoughts at a glance.
The little empress laughed; her best friend was not only a talking dog, but also a prophet.
"Let me see what delicious food I brought you!" Gangzi stood up and started spinning around.
Various snacks flew out of its body, and the colorful packaging of all sizes looked very appealing.
The little empress casually picked up a bag of potato chips and said with a smile, "Thank you, Little Fuzi, you always give me endless surprises!"
[Whatever makes you happy!] Gangzi loves to coax children.
"Has something happened in the court this time that has come to see me?"
Gangzi felt a pang of heartache when he saw the little empress's innocent face suddenly turn serious.
It's tough on you to have to bear all this at such a young age.
The young empress, however, was unconcerned. "I ascended the throne at the age of four, grateful for the blessings of Heaven and Earth and the trust placed in me by the people. During the reign of the late emperor, he ignored my mother and me, causing widespread resentment among the people. In my three years on the throne, with the assistance of many wise ministers and the heartfelt help of you, Xiao Fuzi, the people now live in peace and prosperity, enjoying favorable weather. This is truly a blessing from Heaven. I dare not slacken my efforts and only wish for our dynasty to be peaceful and prosperous for generations to come!"
Looking at her sincere and earnest face, Gangzi realized she really had the makings of an emperor.
Perhaps some people are born with her mission.
Looking back on her past life, this exquisite little princess's fate was actually tragic.
Not long after Prince Qi died, Consort Yi was executed by the Empress, and she was kept by the Empress's side and suffered all kinds of abuse.
When she grew up, the two countries went to war. In order to quell the war, the emperor married her to the ruler of the Shu Kingdom, who was an old man in his sixties.
On the way to the marriage alliance, Princess Linglong caught a cold and fell seriously ill.
He died just as he was about to enter the city gate of the Southern Shu Kingdom.
This made the people of southern Sichuan feel very unlucky.
The ruler of the Southern Kingdom refused to allow Princess Linglong's body to enter the country, and the war not only did not subside, but intensified.
Thus, Princess Linglong's soul returned to the mountains and wilderness, without even a grave.
Gangzi looked at her now and felt quite emotional.
She can change her own fate; I hope she will have a peaceful and happy life from now on.
"Tell me quickly, what brings you here today?" the little empress asked.
"The Shu Kingdom, in alliance with the Yue Kingdom, has sent spies to serve as officials in our court. I've come to deliver the list to you," Gangzi said.
“These small border countries are always challenging my bottom line. I will wipe them all out sooner or later!” The young empress slammed her hand on the table in anger.
Gangzi looked at her with a smile; she seemed quite ambitious.
[Little Fuzi has a plan!]
"Tell me about it!"
The man and his dog plotted all night before finally going to sleep at dawn.
Several palace maids came to help the young empress wash up and saw a dog sleeping on the dragon bed, while the young empress was sleeping on the floor.
"Where did these dogs come from in the palace?"
The little empress was woken up and immediately made a shushing face.
"Don't disturb it, let's go outside."
The palace maids were stunned. This dog had even slept on the dragon bed. The Empress was spoiling it too much!
Soon, the news reached the ears of Consort Yi, who is now the Empress Dowager.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is young. Someone secretly gave her a dog, and the Empress actually let the dog sleep on her imperial bed while she herself sleeps on the floor. What kind of behavior is this!"
