Views:

Wu Qimai was very uneasy, and slowly understood what the fourth prince meant. If the child stayed with Hua Rong, he would always have an excuse to have a chance to see it. But, was he going to see the child or Hua Rong? Or both

He tried to say: "Fourth Prince, she is already Yue Pengju's wife. Isn't it dangerous for you to go?"

"What's the danger? Yue Pengju has already resigned. She and her husband are just ordinary people."

"But the fourth prince, with a talent like Yue Pengju, is he really willing to be lonely?"

Jin Wushu laughed loudly: "If Yue Pengju is wise, he will live a good life for a few years. Otherwise, sooner or later, his life will not last long..."

Wu Qimai was shocked. Did the Fourth Prince give up on Hua Rong, or did he give up

He couldn't tell for the moment, he just felt that the Fourth Prince had changed a lot since Yelu Guanyin. Even he couldn't guess his true intentions.

Jin Wushu glanced at everyone: "Where is the Ganoderma lucidum you are looking for?"

A guard stepped forward: "The villain bought this from a mountain man at a high price... The fourth prince asked to see it. According to him, it is seven or eight hundred years old..."

Jin Wushu picked it up, looked at it, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said angrily: "Who said that? Dare to deceive this prince, how can such Ganoderma last seven or eight hundred years? One hundred years is not bad... "

These days, Wu Qimai followed orders and spread the news that the fourth prince was looking for Ganoderma lucidum at a high price. After hearing the news, witch doctors and people from far and near sent Ganoderma lucidum, but there were not many high-quality Ganoderma lucidum.

When Wu Qimai saw that he was angry, he immediately said: "Who is this brave mountain man? You might as well catch him and kill him as a warning to others."

Jin Wushu took the Ganoderma lucidum to look at it and waved his hand: "Wait a minute. There is a story in the Song Dynasty called Thousands of gold to buy horse bones. A king spent a lot of money to buy a Cholla horse, and he was given a pair of Cholla horse bones. The king was furious and wanted to punish him severely. But his advisers told him that he might as well accept the horse bones. As expected, the monarch accepted the horse bones. When the people near and far heard about it, they realized that the monarch was so in love with talents that he even paid a large sum of money for the corpse of a thousand-mile horse. If a thousand-mile horse really sent it, wouldn't it be true? A bigger reward? So, within a few years, the king received many thousand-mile horses..."

Naturally, Wu Qimai didn't know what "thousands of gold buys horse bones", but when he saw the fourth prince acting like this, he felt even more uneasy. He secretly blamed the fourth prince for being meddlesome. If he spent so much effort, Hua Rong would appreciate it and remarry him? Could it be that the Fourth Prince cured her and waited for Yue Pengju's death

He did not dare to express his doubts, so he had to listen respectfully to the fourth prince's instructions: "You all listen carefully. From now on, whenever someone sends you Ganoderma lucidum, keep it. Only in this way will good Ganoderma lucidum appear. I don't believe it. That thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

Wu Qimai finally couldn't help it anymore: "Fourth Prince, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Is it worth it for you to do so many things for Hua Rong?"

Is it worth it? Who knows.

When asking whether everything is worth it, can we weigh it all

He smiled: "Cure her, and at least you can take good care of Wenlong's child for me."

Wu Qimai was speechless and asked no more questions.

After everyone accepted the order, it was only then that Wu Qimai remembered to report another matter. Talking about this matter was completely different from asking the little master Lu Wenlong.

Jin Wushu saw him hesitating and said angrily: "What's the matter?"

Wu Qimai bit the bullet: "How to deal with Master Yelu's matter? He heard that the fourth prince was going to war, so he sent his son to plead for mercy..."

Yelu Guanyin was very shrewd. She hurriedly fled to Yanjing with her son while the fourth prince was drunk and asleep. The servants, without the orders of the fourth prince, naturally did not dare to make decisions without permission and could only watch her leave. What she planned was, After Jin Wushu regained consciousness and some time passed, she would find a solution if she begged him again. However, she did not expect that the Wolf Lord, in order to vent her anger on Jin Wushu, would completely dismiss her father from his post and would soon be sent to a desolate place where he would not be allowed to return until he died.

Master Yelu had no choice but to send someone to beg the fourth prince, hoping to obtain final forgiveness and save the whole family.

Jin Wushu waved his hand coldly: "Kill all the brothers of Yelu Guanyin, and dismiss all the other men. If this man is retained, it will be a disaster."

"yes."

He really hated Yelv Guanyin in his heart and was unwilling to mention her again. After a while, he said: "That bitch woman really took advantage of her."

Wu Qimai said hurriedly: "The villain knows what to do."

They followed the fourth prince for a long time and witnessed all the situations in which Yelu Guanyin was favored. Unexpectedly, what the fourth prince received in exchange was complete humiliation and deception. They had long been heartbroken that Yelu Guanyin was not punished, and now they saw the opportunity. , naturally will not let it go.

Princess Tianwei's return to the Song Dynasty became a major event in the capital.

After receiving the report, Zhao Deji, a current official, personally came out to greet him. He had mixed feelings and just shouted: "Tianwei..." and was speechless.

Tianwei threw herself into her brother's arms, with tears streaming down her face. She could only shout: "Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth..."

Because her mother had a good relationship with his mother, from childhood to adulthood, in this "big prison with fine clothes and fine food", among the dozens of children in the Tai Shangguan family, his brother and sister had the best relationship.

After all the hardships, his siblings returned home. Zhao Deji naturally had deep love and pity for his sister, whom he had been close to since childhood. He ordered on the spot to make her the eldest princess of the Song Dynasty, grant her a special princess mansion, and reward her with a large amount of property.

After putting on the princess dress with flowers and brocades again, Tianwei, supported by a group of maids, looked at her flowery face in the huge and exquisite bronze mirror.

It's really like a dream.

The woman in the mirror has a face full of vicissitudes of life.

A maid reminded her: "Princess, the banquet is about to start."

She just asked: "Where is Wanwan? Why hasn't Wanwan arrived yet?"

The first thing I did when I came back was to inquire about the whereabouts of my closest sister, Princess Wanwan. Wanwan also lived in the capital with her nanny, why didn't she come here at this time? Wanwan must have gotten the news a long time ago

"When Princess Wanwan arrives, I will definitely report to the princess."

She couldn't wait for Wanwan, and finally felt melancholy. She stood up slowly, and just as she was about to go out, she heard a rush of footsteps, faster than the little palace maid's announcement: "Princess, princess..."

The voice was full of laughter and tears. Tianwei was almost out of breath from a pair of hands that suddenly stretched out and hugged her. She subconsciously reached out and hugged the lively girl with her backhand, and just shouted: "Wanwan, Wanwan, you miss me so much..."

The two hugged each other and cried.

Wanwan's wet nurse, Mrs. Li, was also wiping her tears: "Princess, Princess, the banquet is about to begin..."

The two of them wiped away their tears and then looked at each other and smiled. Tianwei said softly: "Brother Ninth is inviting us tonight."

Wanwan sneered: "Brother Ninth? He's very busy. I'm afraid it's Madam Wu or Madam Zhang who invited us..."

Tianwei was stunned, and felt very uneasy when she saw the look on her cousin's face. She slowly understood that the Ninth Brother today was no longer the Ninth Brother of the past.

After the disaster, even in the palace, she did not dare to ask any questions easily. She only gently took Wanwan's hand and squeezed it. Wanwan naturally said no more. These maids were all arranged by Lady Wu. , none of them are Tianwei’s old friends, who dares to say anything.

This is a grand family dinner.

The so-called "family banquet" was naturally filled with the emperor's favorite concubines, headed by Concubine Pan Xian, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Zhang and a dozen other favored concubines. Among these people, Tianwei surprisingly discovered that Qin Hui's wife Wang Junhua was among them.

She was stunned.

How often did Wang Junhua count as Ninth Brother's "family member"

Before she could salute, Wu Jinnu and Zhang Yingying had already come up first and were very affectionate: "Princess, you have suffered..." Even Concubine Pan Xian was extremely affectionate, holding her hand and saying, "Princess, please sit down..."

Tianwei still did not dare to neglect the etiquette and saluted all the ladies one by one. When her eyes came into contact with Wang Junhua, she diligently followed the etiquette of a court lady and said, "I have seen the princess."

Tianwei nodded lightly, then took a look at the disdain on Wanwan's face, and realized that Wang Junhua had already been a guest of this concubine.

This shameless woman has intensified her methods of pleasing Jurchen ladies that she developed in the Fourth Prince's Mansion to Ninth Brother's harem.

Pan Xianfei smiled and said: "My sister has suffered a lot. This is Mrs. Qin, the wife of Qin Shangshu. He and his wife are Su Wu who are shepherds. They have returned from the festival. They suffered a lot from the captives before... You should have a common topic. , so I asked her to accompany you... "

"Although we are both from the end of the world, we were herding horses in the ice and snow and never got to see the princess..." She spoke first and looked at Tianwei with a smile, "Princess, you must have suffered a lot..."

Tianwei looked at the vicious look in her eyes that only she could understand, and immediately understood that Wang Junhua was warning her not to reveal the details of her stay in the fourth prince's house, otherwise, she would inevitably reveal that she had been raped by Jin. The history of human humiliation.

Tianwei secretly gritted her teeth before calming herself down. Before she could speak, she heard Wanwan smile coldly: "Mrs. Qin, you have worked so hard. I wonder whose horse you herded when you and King Qin were in the Kingdom of Jin?" Will the Jin attack our Song Dynasty’s war horses again?”

Wang Junhua's smile did not change, and Concubine Pan Xian scolded: "Princess, you must not be rude."

Wanwan smiled coldly and sat aside. Originally, because she was the only remaining princess and a cousin of the official family, Wu Jinnu and others often invited her to banquets. After going back and forth, she found that she did not like the polite appearance of these people at all. A woman with a fierce inner struggle. She could still endure it before. Ever since Wang Junhua often appeared at banquets, and she saw Wang Junhua's outright flattery, and even gradually, the naked ambiguity between Wang Junhua and Ninth Brother, she couldn't bear it. Unable to bear it any longer, he often made cold remarks and ridiculed Wang Junhua.

In this way, although Wu Jinnu and others did not like her, she did not go to the banquet for a long time.

Since Wu Jinnu and Zhang Yingying were good at dancing, the atmosphere quickly became lively and the dishes were served one after another.

Everyone kept urging Tianwei to prepare dishes. When a sturgeon was served, Wu Jinnu said with a smile: "This dish is very precious. It is a tribute from other places. There are only three in total. It is specially prepared to welcome the princess." of… "

She picked a chopstick and gave it to Tianwei, and then the concubines shared some of the food. Sure enough, the meat tasted extremely delicious.
