The ladies were very happy and thought that no matter how talented Wang Junhua was, he was still inferior to himself and others and mistakenly mistook a perch for a sturgeon. Concubine Pan Xian laughed and said, "I said, there are only three in the palace, how can you have dozens of them?" , turned out to be a mistake, hahaha... "
Amidst the laughter of the concubines, Wang Junhua quickly laughed at himself and secretly admired her husband's strategy. Because of this, not only did the ladies not have any grudge against her, but they felt that this woman was even more jealous because of the "joke" she made. Interesting people.
On this day, as soon as Zhao Deji came out of the study, he heard the young eunuch announce: "The official family, the eldest princess wants to see you."
Zhao Deji looked at the bright early summer sun outside and was very affectionate towards his returning sister, so he said: "I will lay out tea snacks in the imperial garden. I want to have tea with the eldest princess."
"yes."
A jade table was placed under a huge ancient locust tree. It was the season when the locust flowers were fragrant, and it was cool and fragrant under the tree. There were eight-color tea snacks on the table, which were very delicately made.
Zhao Deji looked at his sister, who he had not seen this year, and sighed: "Tianwei, these are your favorite snacks in the past. When my mother comes to visit you and your daughter, she always makes some cakes with her own hands. Please eat more."
Tianwei had tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Brother Ninth, for remembering the past..." She picked up a piece of walnut cake, "This was my favorite in the past. I thought I would never eat it again in this life..."
Zhao Deji saw her as usual. Every time he saw dim sum, he would always reach out to the walnut cake first, feeling very sad in his heart.
Tianwei ate a piece of pastry and then slowly said: "When I fled back to the border, I met Mrs. Yue..."
Zhao Deji asked: "How is Hua Rong doing now?"
She shook her head: "It's very bad."
Zhao Deji looked a little sad: "Oh, Rong'er, I don't know if she can escape this disaster..."
Tianwei looked at him carefully and saw that his concerned expression did not seem to be fake, so she slowly said: "When Mrs. Yue was on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin, she showed off her talents at the 'Sheliu Festival' held by the captives. Later, she went to the Fourth Prince I don’t know if she ever mentioned this to Brother Jiu when she went to a banquet at home. At that banquet, there were also Qin Hui and his wife... "
Zhao Deji smiled: "Oh? Rong'er once wrote a letter saying that Qin Hui and his wife were the creations of the fourth prince and wanted to mess up our country. Rong'er was overly concerned... "
Tianwei couldn't bear it any longer and said hurriedly: "Brother Ninth knows something. Mrs. Yue is loyal and not overly worried."
"I also know that Rong'er is thinking about the country and the country. Alas, I really hope that his illness will get better soon. I still need him and his wife to serve the court. Especially Yue Pengju..."
Tianwei heard that Brother Jiu still believed in Yue Pengju and wanted to reuse him, and she felt a little hope in her heart: "When I was a slave in the fourth prince's mansion, I saw with my own eyes Qin Hui and his wife coming in and out of the fourth prince's mansion, Wang and the fourth prince There is an affair, Qin Hui is his military adviser, Ninth Brother, you must beware of these two people, they are ambitious... "
"Tianwei, you have just returned and are tired. Why do you need to worry about national affairs? How can a mere Qin Hui escape from my grasp?"
"Brother Ninth, Qin Hui is definitely not as upright as he is for his reputation. He also takes bribes. Take last night's banquet as an example. The palace only had three sturgeons, but Wang Junhua actually said that she had dozens of sturgeons at home. This What is it if it’s not bribery of local officials?”
Zhao Deji laughed loudly: "What are you talking about? Madam Wu told me a joke when she gave me ginseng soup earlier. She said that Qin Hui's wife was vulgar and ignorant, and mistakenly took cheap seabass for sturgeon. This is a joke. Li Gui became Li Kui, but it wasn't Qin Hui who was corrupt. I think it was Wang's eagerness to show off that made a joke... Hahaha... "
Tianwei was speechless.
Seeing Brother Ninth smiling so happily, she didn't understand what was so funny about it. Her vest went cold, and she only vaguely realized that the Ninth Brother today was really not the Ninth Brother of the past.
And the methods of Qin Hui and his wife are getting better and better day by day.
She said nothing more, and even the walnut cake on the table had lost its original deliciousness. She only watched the locust flowers being blown down by the wind, and covering the walnuts one by one.
When she returned to the princess mansion, Wanwan was still waiting.
Because Wanwan had a bad temper and often said in front of Ninth Brother that she didn't want to see Wang Junhua, she gradually became unpopular with Ninth Brother and stopped summoning her for a long time.
When Wanwan saw Tianwei coming back, she hurriedly asked: "How is the situation? Does Ninth Brother believe it?"
Tianwei shook her head silently. She drank a cup of tea and then told Wanwan about today's situation.
Wanwan was so angry that she almost jumped up: "That couple of bitches really don't know what kind of monsters they are. I'm so angry."
Tianwei slowly put down the teacup, lost consciousness for a while, and then whispered: "Mrs. Yue is still blessed. I just hope they never come back, never come back!"
Dusk falls.
The spring evening carries the fragrance of flowers.
This is a secluded mountain village, filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Most of the flowers and herbs are red and yellow, but the flowers around are mostly green, blue and even black. Even though the King of Qin has always been bold, he will not Dare to get too close, Ma Su said quietly: "In addition to flowers and plants, every witch doctor has many strange insects in his home. If he doesn't get what he wants, he will die..."
King Qin carried his sword and carefully pushed aside the flowers and plants blocking the road, for fear of getting a little bit on it.
This witch doctor is not well-known, so Ma Su accidentally inquired about it. The witch doctor had been in seclusion for a long time, and people asked around for a long time before they got the chance to meet.
Finally passing through the layers of "flower and grass barriers", King Qin stood in front of the black gate, holding a broadsword, and stood there for a long time. I didn't know what it was like in my heart. In a blink of an eye, it was another two early summers, from the sea to the Jin Guo never thought that one day he would stand in front of the witch doctor's door.
Ma Su whispered: "Your Majesty, after we get the things, we can go back."
He said nothing. He just took the back of the knife and knocked on the black door three times.
When the door opened, Ma Su couldn't help but take a step back. He saw an old man as skinny as a bird's claw, with a face that looked like a skeleton covered in skin.
King Qin didn't take it seriously and just bowed: "Please sir, give me medicine."
The witch doctor rolled his eyes several times: "You have come to my door eighteen times."
The two of them didn't see anyone every time they came, but they were even more surprised when they heard what he said was accurate.
He stared at King Qin, who couldn't help but feel chilly.
"It's not difficult to get medicine, but you have to do something for me."
"whats the matter?"
"Don't ask any more questions, I will tell you when the time comes."
Ma Sujue felt that this place was too weird, and was about to remind King Qin to be careful, but King Qin laughed loudly: "Okay, no matter what, I promise you. There is nothing more powerful than asking for my head."
The witch doctor nodded and took out something from his arms. King Qin took it, looked at it twice, put it in his arms, bowed his hands, turned around and left.
The wind blew from the forest, and although it was midsummer, I didn't feel much heat. Two or three kilometers in front of the wooden house, there was a stream full of mountain flowers, and wild ducks wandered in it from time to time.
This was the first time Yue Pengju took his wife to travel such a "long" way out for fun, and she came in person. This was nothing short of great news for him.
There was a huge bear skin spread on the grass, and Hua Rong sat on it, surrounded by some picked wild fruits. Yue Pengju hunted two wild ducks with arrows, and set up a fire to roast them on it. By that time, the wild duck had been roasted half-cooked, and was sizzling with fragrance. The rolling fat dripped on the fire, and even the fire became fragrant.
A large field of wildflowers and grasses bloomed in front, and it was green and lush. Little Lu Wenlong had changed into a single shirt and was running around chasing flowers and butterflies in tiger leather sandals. He was holding a net bag in his hand, which Yue Pengju had woven for him from tree bark. He netted many flowers and butterflies and ran back, giggling and showing them to his mother. Then he opened the net bag and all the butterflies flew away; he smiled and ran to pick wild flowers again.
At this time, Hua Rong's head was already covered with colorful wild flowers. He lay behind her, giggled and hugged her neck, and kept shouting: "Mom, don't move, there are still many flowers." Woolen cloth… "
Hua Rong just sat there, motionless, letting his little hands mess up her hair. Hua Rong was wearing a moon-white shirt, which Yue Pengju went to town to sell dozens of tiger skins, leopard skins and I ate Ganoderma lucidum for almost a whole year. All the family’s money was spent on Ganoderma lucidum, and the rest of the expenses basically came from Yue Pengju’s hunting.
Hua Rong looked at the simple shirt on her body and looked at the Jingchai on her head by the stream. She was very satisfied with this kind of life. Thinking about it carefully, although she was injured, this year was the best and purest day in her life. Being carefree every day, relying on my husband, it is really like "marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat."
Yue Pengju flipped the duck over a few more times. Lu Wenlong couldn't bear it any longer. He was so greedy that he ignored the flowers on his mother's head and ran over to him, kissing him on the face: "Dad, can you eat it?" ?”
"it is okay… "
These days, Yue Pengju likes to make a lot of gadgets for him and catch flowers, birds, insects, and fish. Because of this, he is getting closer to Yue Pengju, and his intimacy with him is almost surpassing that of his mother.
The child's face was drooled after one kiss. Yue Pengju didn't care. He took off a sizzling and oily roast duck, wrapped it in the large lotus leaves collected nearby, tore off a large duck leg, and took out what he had prepared. After wearing the good wooden stick, he handed it to his son. Lu Wenlong chuckled, but ran over first: "Mom, here you go..."
Hua Rong took the duck leg, and Yue Pengju had already walked over, handed the other dressed duck leg to his son, sat down next to his wife, and ate the rest first.
The three of them ate with gusto. Yue Pengju looked at his wife's increasingly rosy face and was very happy. Seeing her husband staring at her, Hua Rong reached out to wipe a piece of oil smoke from his face and smiled sweetly: "Pengju, I feel that I am much better. "
After a long illness, he became a doctor. He stayed with his wife for a long time and almost became half a doctor. He held his wife's hand, looked at her complexion, and nodded: "I will definitely recover."
In the distance, there was the voice of the guard: "Mr. Yue..."
Yue Pengju stood up, and the guard brought Feng Yi, another personal eunuch of the emperor. Feng Yi also recognized the two of them, and he shouted from afar: "You two, it's been a long time. Madam Yue, how is your condition? "
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Officer Feng."
The three of them talked briefly, and Yue Peng received the order. It turned out to be some Ganoderma lucidum and a personal letter sent by the emperor.
Yue Pengju read it once and handed it to his wife.
Hua Rong took a look and saw that it was Zhao Deji's handwriting. In addition to the usual greetings about her injury, it also said that the troops of Liu Yu, the puppet regime of the Jin Kingdom and the puppet Qi State, had taken over several states and counties in succession, and there was a tendency to cross the Huaihe River to launch a massive attack. Although the letter did not mention that Yue Pengju should return home immediately, the underlying meaning was revealed. Hua Rong felt very uncomfortable after reading it. He looked at Yue Pengju again, and the couple looked at each other. Yue Pengju then said to Feng Yi: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness. My wife is still in poor health and cannot repay the favor of the imperial court for the time being. I have failed in Your Majesty's holy grace."
