After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 168: Her First Friend In The Ancient Era

"Xi Rong was really an accident. When we were leaving the capital, we bumped into her as she returned to the capital. When she heard that we were going to run away from home, she insisted on following us..."

Fei Yuzhe thought, what could he do?

It seemed that the three of them had all run away from home.

Liang Youxiao reached out and patted Fei Yuzhe's shoulder. "Brother, don't worry. We'll take it one step at a time."

"Get lost!" Fei Yuzhe slapped his hand away.

He would be the problematic one here.

Very soon, Shi Qingluo brought Xi Rong to skateboard together.

She showcased the most difficult moves and tricks she knew in her previous life and gained Xi Rong's attention.

"Luoluo, you're too amazing."

Then, she said in a friendly tone, "Can you teach me how to play?"

Shi Qingluo realized that Xi Rong was indeed a marquise. She was really different from other women in this era.

She chuckled and said, "Sure!"

She had not made any friends in the ancient era yet, and Xi Rong's personality suited her very much.

Therefore, Shi Qingluo made her first best friend in ancient times because of skateboarding.

They went back to the courtyard after they were tired from skateboarding.

Because Xi Rong and Xi Rui's identities were not simple and they were still their guests, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng naturally had to treat them well.

Thus, Xiao Hanzheng sent his people to the county town to buy fresh meat and vegetables for Shi Qingluo and Xiao Baili to prepare a table full of new and delicious dishes to treat them.

Xi Rui and Xi Rong were happy with the meal.

After dinner, Shi Qingluo personally arranged accommodation for Xi Rong.

Xi Rong led two servant girls and stayed in a suite in the adjacent courtyard.

Seeing this novel room filled with a sofa, latrine, and bathroom that she had never seen before, Xi Rong, who had initially been a little repulsed by living in a small rural area, instantly fell in love with it.

Xi Rong took the tiger pillow from the sofa and held it in her arms.

She looked at Shi Qingluo and asked, "Luoluo, did you decorate all of this?"

Shi Qingluo nodded and smiled. "Yes!"

Xi Rong smiled and praised, "You are really smart."

Shi Qingluo completely destroyed her impression of a village girl.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Shi Qingluo smiled and accepted her compliment.

This made Xi Rong like her personality even more. "Can you take us to the mountains tomorrow? I heard that your master is an old immortal?"

Shi Qingluo nodded. "No problem. Tomorrow, I'll bring you to the Taoist temple first, then we'll go to the mountains."

It was obvious that Xi Rong wasn't a person who would stay idle.

Shi Qingluo had many ways to make sure that this marquise had a good time.

"Then it's a deal!"

After settling them down, Shi Qingluo came out of the side courtyard and met Xiao Hanzheng, who had finished arranging accommodation for Xi Rui.

The two of them looked at each other and returned to their rooms with tacit understanding.

They went to take a shower and changed their clothes.

The main courtyard had two bathrooms, one for males and the other for females, so were the latrines.

It was the same in the side courtyard.

After the shower, Shi Qingluo returned to her room.

Xiao Hanzheng had washed up.

He took the handkerchief and helped her to dry her hair.

Shi Qingluo enjoyed her young husband's service very much.

She asked, "Do you know Xi Rong?"

Liang Youxiao did not introduce her in detail.

Xiao Hanzheng gently dried her hair as he said, "Xi Rong's mother and the current emperor share the same mother.

"Before the emperor ascended to the throne, they had a very good relationship.

"Back then, the emperor was met with many troubles after inheriting the throne. On one occasion, he even encountered the most dangerous assassination.

"It was the princess's husband, a Nanshan marquess, who immediately changed into the emperor's clothes and brought the princess, who had changed into the empress's clothes, to distract the assassins.

"In the end, both the husband and the wife died.

"At that time, the other prince who was fighting with the emperor for the throne was angered and sent orders to slaughter this Nanshan marquess' entire family.

"At that time, the servant girls brought Xi Rong out to play, so she escaped this calamity.

"But she was the only one left in the entire Xi family. After the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager brought her to the palace and raised her.

"Previously, the emperor and this princess had a good relationship.

"In addition, this princess and her husband, and even the prince consort's family died for him, so he especially doted on Xi Rong, his niece, better than the princesses.

"The empress dowager was already quite tired, and the empress doesn't have a daughter, so Xi Rong was practically raised by the empress as her daughter."

When Shi Qingluo saw Fei Yuzhe looking at Xi Rong with a headache, on top of her being the only marquise, she guessed that she must have come from a strong family background.

However, she did not expect her background to be so great.

She wasn't a princess, but she was more favored than the princesses.

And Xi Rui was also her cousin.
