1521 Open To Making Bawdy Jokes
No matter how slow Ji’er was, she still understood what Yaoyao was implying and blushed furiously right away.
“Long Yinyao!”
Yaoyao quickly bounded off.
Beitang You, who was staying next door, caught what Yaoyao said the moment he stepped out of his room.
!!A hint of baffled amus.e.m.e.nt flashed through his eyes.
Who would have thought that this young miss would be so open to making bawdy jokes?
They continued on their way with some stops here and there, and after half a month, they finally arrived at the West Water Frontier.
Although Ji’er and Yaoyao had long heard about the hustle and bustle of the West Water Frontier, they were still astounded when they finally saw it with their own eyes.
“I didn’t know this place was so lively!” Yaoyao exclaimed as she jumped off the carriage eagerly.
Ji’er hastily followed.
Now that Yaoyao’s foot was healed, she was just like a wild horse on the looseshe was determined to enjoy herself to the fullest to make up for all the time she lost nursing her injury.
Everywhere she went, she would have fun like crazy.
It was already evening when they arrived at the West Water Frontier that day.
Chu Qi invited Beitang You to rest in the General Mansion.
Beitang You accepted his offer readily.
After settling down in the General Mansion, Beitang You and Zhang Yu went out to explore the West Water Frontier.
The West Water Frontier connected the two kingdoms, and since both kingdoms started a trading relations.h.i.+p, it had attracted dozens of Yan merchants.
When the group walked onto the streets, they could see Yan merchants everywhere.
Beitang You was amazed by the West Water Frontier’s vibrance.
Although the Yan Kingdom was gradually growing, it was still far behind Great Shang.
When it came to ruling a kingdom, he was naturally no match for Long Yang.
Not only was Long Yang older and more experienced, he was also a rare wise ruler. It was pretty much impossible for the Yan Kingdom to surpa.s.s Great Shang in terms of strength.
Beitang You was very much aware of this.
Of course, he had never intended to overtake Great Shang either. If Long Yin was not in the picture, he believed that his youth would give him an advantage in eventually developing the Yan Kingdom to Great Shang’s level.
However, Great Shang had Long Yin.
This Great Shang’s heir apparent may be young, but he had inherited his father’s style of handling state affairs. Moreover, he was exceptionally talented, and Long Yang had personally raised him as his heir. There was no doubt that he would be a formidable ruler in the future.
When Long Yang pa.s.sed away in the future, Long Yin would definitely continue to lead Great Shang to greater heights.
Beitang You was not inferior to Long Yinit was just that they had different starting points.
Puzzled, Ji’er followed her gaze, only to see Beitang You standing outside a brothel with his hands behind his back. A moment later, he walked inside without hesitation.
“Pfft, how indecent. So much for being the ruler of a kingdom,” Yaoyao scoffed.
Ji’er was surprised as well, but she was reluctant to a.s.sume the worst of him. After all, Beitang You respected her mother greatly, and he was a handsome and personable gentleman toosurely he could not be a nasty lecher.
She could not help herself from defending him. “Maybe he just wants to go in and look around, that’s all.”
Although they had been raised in the depths of the palace, they were not completely ignorant of the world outside.
Many anecdotes of famous people originated from the place.
There were also numerous well-known poems that had spread from places like this.
Yaoyao said disapprovingly, “Ji’er, you can’t judge a book by its coversome people possess rotten characters underneath their fine appearance. He may look like a gentleman, but you never know how vile he is on the inside.”
Ji’er did not bother arguing with her and merely said, “Never mind, it’s none of our business where he wants to go. Let’s head back first.”
Yaoyao said teasingly, “You’re in a hurry to go back and see Big Bro Lil Qi, aren’t you?”
“As if.” Despite Ji’er’s denial, her flushed cheeks gave her thoughts away.
