After everyone had left happily, Hua Rong said, "This Master Zhai is one of the rare sober people."
Yue Pengju nodded: "It's a pity that he is too arrogant, and naturally he is no match for Qin Hui when he plays with power. He will definitely be squeezed out by Qin Hui."
Hua Rong sighed, politics is about "dirty", and officialdom has never been a world for scholars. Fortunately, his wife will soon be ordered to set off to exterminate the water bandits. It is always better to go outside than to fight between the DPRK and China, and they can hide for a while. , I have to hide for a while.
She suddenly remembered something and asked urgently: "Pengju, Your Majesty now regards the Dongting water bandits as a serious threat. Will he wait to deal with the King of Qin again after he is free to take action?"
She had actually been thinking about this question for a few days, and now she couldn't help but bring it up. Yue Pengju pondered for a while before shaking his head: "King Qin's sea area is far away, and his sphere of influence has never been an important distribution center for the imperial court's taxes. With such a wide coastline, it would be futile for the imperial court to send troops, and there would be little practical benefit. Besides..." He lowered his voice slightly, "I guess 'he' was already frightened during those days at sea, how could he be willing to repeat the same mistake again?"
Hua Rong was slightly relieved and sighed: "I don't know where King Qin has gone. He is good at water fighting. If he is here, I can let him give advice."
Yue Pengju laughed: "That's exactly what I meant. If King Qin is here, he will really be the first adviser to the Dongting Water Battle. It's a pity that I don't know whether he will come or not."
Hua Rong was very melancholy. It was estimated that King Qin had already returned to the sea. He was so far away, how could he come back again
On this day, Hua Rong was invited to attend a banquet.
Thinking of the theme of this day and the people he might meet, Hua Rong felt uncomfortable. Yue Pengju saw his wife frowning, not as if she was going to a banquet, but as if she was going to an execution ground, so he smiled and said: "Sister Seventeen, I will pick you up at the palace gate in the evening."
She then turned her anger into joy and said with a smile: "Marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat, Pengju, I don't want to leave you."
After experiencing many things and dangers, I have slowly begun to understand that as long as I am with Yue Pengju, I am safe. Once I leave him, I will fall into endless dangers. In this case, why do I need to leave him? Moreover, once you leave, you will be far apart, how can you take care of yourself? It’s not like my husband has only three heads and six arms.
Yue Pengju tidied his wife's loose hair on her temples and said softly: "From now on, as long as you leave for more than two days, I will stay with you. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"I won't be away for more than two days, nor will I stay out overnight."
"Well, I'll pick you up on time tonight."
She suddenly laughed. Since she escaped from the Kingdom of Jin and reunited with her husband, for more than a year, no matter where she went, Peng Ju would accompany her and never leave her. She was about to become a twenty-four filial husband. She muttered: "This won't work. From now on, if I become dependent on you, what should I do?”
"Then just rely on it for the rest of your life. You've already gotten used to it anyway."
She laughed and kissed him on the cheek before turning around and going out.
It was already late autumn, and there were still the last batch of brilliantly blooming autumn chrysanthemums in the palace. Wu Jinnu and others arranged the chrysanthemums in pots one by one, set up a warm tent, and held an "Autumn Chrysanthemum Feast" in the imperial garden.
The concubines and concubines from the palace have already arrived, and the courtyard is bustling with beauties admiring chrysanthemums. No one dares to lose their sense of proportion. They are all dressed up in gold and silver, making sure to show their most radiant side.
Tianwei and Wanwan arrived early. She was getting married soon and could not leave the palace at will, so Wanwan had to report back to her conversation with Hua Rong. As soon as she sat down, she saw Wang Junhua and several maids coming from a distance, like butterflies. , greeting all the female relatives along the way. Because of Jin Wushu's arrangement, Qin Hui and his wife brought a large amount of property with them when they returned to the Song Dynasty, specifically for bribery. Starting from the medical officer Wang Jixian, and then up to Concubine Pan Xian in the palace, down to the palace maids and eunuchs, as long as they could She took care of all the people she could use and won unanimous praise. Especially Concubine Pan Xian, who was her number one target. But she also knew the little prince's body, so she subtly managed to win over Wu Jinnu and Zhang Yingying. People. These three people, firstly, know about the hidden problems of the official family, and secondly, they know that Wang Junhua is the wife of a minister. What's more, because of Qin Hui's promotion, she was also named "Mrs. of the State". It is known to the whole world that no matter how unbridled the emperor is, He would never dare to openly introduce her into the harem. Therefore, when the favor triangle is unbalanced, it is necessary for such an outsider to join. Instead of other people being favored, it is better for this woman who is not a threat to be favored.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Junhua's affair actually contributed to her social status. Although Wu Jinnu and Zhang Yingying secretly despised her and secretly called her a slut, on the surface they maintained appropriate affection and welcome towards her.
Wang Junhua listened to all directions and saw all directions. Along the way, Linglong did not miss any greetings, but he noticed Wanwan and Tianwei sitting under a bush of golden chrysanthemums. Tianwei didn't care, especially Wanwan, looking at it with great disdain. She glanced at her and whispered: "Princess, that **** is here again..."
Tianwei raised her head, and Wang Jun came over like a flower. She was dressed up carefully today, and she wore the gift from the emperor yesterday on her head. She looked even more wealthy and graceful. When Tianwei saw this hairpin, her heart went cold. She is naturally a talented person in the palace. The thing was obviously a gift from Brother Ninth. Today, Wang Junhua wore it arrogantly, just to demonstrate with confidence.
Wang Junhua performed the courtesy of a married woman: "The princess is very happy, and I wish you the best of luck."
Tianwei said calmly: "No need to be polite."
Wang Junhua saw that she was pretending to be the eldest princess, and he had to kneel down and worship her. He thought about the identity of this little bitch when he was in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. What was his identity? However, a fallen flower in distress, a maid-like figure, is now riding on his head.
She smiled and whispered: "Princess, does the future prince-in-law know that you have served the fourth prince? Instead of serving an ordinary man, it is better to make the fourth prince's bed and fold the quilt..."
Tianwei's face turned pale, but Wang Junhua smiled even more proudly, and the golden hairpin on her head swung back and forth deliberately. Outsiders could only see her talking to the princess affectionately.
Although Wanwan didn't hear her words clearly, she knew they were not good words. Seeing that this bitch was relying on Ninth Brother's "cheating" and no one could cure her, she was so angry that she was about to jump up when she heard the palace maid shout: "Mrs. Yue is here..."
… … …
Tianwei stood up immediately. Seeing that Wanwan was still angry, she was afraid that she would explode on the spot, so she gently squeezed her hand. Wang Junhua naturally would not provoke her again, but when she heard that Hua Rong came, she felt very uncomfortable.
The only person she hates most in her life is Hua Rong. She has an almost perverted fascination and admiration for Jin Wushu, especially when she was caught by the Jin army during the Jingkang disaster and took turns having sex. After a long time, she was rescued by Jin Wushu. Later, she even decided that in this world, only the Fourth Prince could protect her. During those days in the Jin Mansion, she always regarded herself as the hostess, secretly and openly, and served the Fourth Prince comfortably. She did not expect the plate of fat pork at the banquet. The plate allowed the Fourth Prince's thoughts to be seen at a glance: In front of him, he was not as good as Hua Rong!
Far worse!
She didn't want to admit this, but she had to admit it, so you can imagine the joy in her heart when she heard that Hua Rong was going to die; and when she learned that Hua Rong not only survived, but even Concubine Pan Xian and others had to give her face to hold this banquet , one can also imagine the darkness and anger in his heart.
Hua Rong only brought two maids with him and came slowly.
From afar, Wu Jinnu, Zhang Yingying and others came to greet them. Only Concubine Pan Xian, holding the air of a queen, waited for Hua Rong to come and salute. Hua Rong smiled and saluted everyone according to etiquette.
Wu Jinnu was very affectionate: "Mrs. Yue, it's been a long time."
Zhang Yingying was even more affectionate: "Mrs. Yue, you have made great achievements in rescuing the official family, which is unmatched by our sisters."
Hua Rong and these two people can be said to be "old acquaintances". They know each other well. They are used to their affectionate attitude that can be displayed at any time. He smiled and said: "How dare Hua Rong be more virtuous than these two ladies."
Concubine Pan Xian's mother-in-law said: "Mrs. Yue, please sit down."
"Thank you, Concubine Xian."
Although there were many female relatives and high-ranking people admiring the flowers today, only a few of them were given the opportunity to sit by Concubine Pan Xian. Everyone was curious about this famous heroine, the "Great Flower of the Song Dynasty", and thought she had three heads and six arms, but they saw that she had a slender figure. Even though she behaved elegantly, she was all taken aback and thought, how could such a woman go into battle to kill the enemy? Is it a boast? However, how can she brag about her great achievements in rescuing the official family
Concubine Pan Xian looked Hua Rong up and down, but when she saw that she was only wearing a moon-white dress with a red bottom, it was neither simple nor gorgeous, but just right. It did not steal anyone's limelight in terms of clothing, so she said, "I heard that Mr. Yue is simple. , only now that I see Mrs. Yue can I know it is true."
Wu Jinnu smiled and said: "Mrs. Yue's beauty is so beautiful that she doesn't need makeup to stain her color."
…
Hua Rong only said a few perfunctory words, talking to these people, which was more tiring than going into battle to kill the enemy. Finally, it was her turn to see Tianwei and Wanwan. She was about to salute when Tianwei grabbed her. Tianwei She was very excited, but she didn't say anything. She just said: "Mrs. Yue, please sit down quickly..."
Wanwan became happy when she saw her: "Sister Hua, we have been waiting for you for a long time. The ladies have prepared many good snacks today, you must try them all."
"Thank you, Princess."
While they were talking, some female relatives also came forward to say hello. In their impression, at first, they all thought that a woman who could go into battle to kill the enemy must be sharp and show off her teeth and claws. However, during the conversation, Jian Huarong had a gentle attitude and decent conversation. Although she was cordial, she was not They were not close, so they separated again.
Wang Junhua was in the crowd, and she had so many faces. She knew that she had to come over and say hello. She couldn't follow her own style and not say hello to Hua Rong in front of everyone.
She bravely stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Yue, I have heard of you for a long time..."
Hua Rong smiled faintly: "Mrs. Qin, we are already familiar with each other, so why should we be formal?"
Wu Jinnu said "Oh": "Huh? What a coincidence, you two recognize each other? How come you have never heard Mrs. Qin mention it?"
Even the concubines did not know about Wang Junhua's past in the Golden Camp of the Liu Family Temple and the Fourth Prince's Mansion. She appeared extremely gloriously. She was the wife of Qin Hui, the "Shepherd Su Wu", and she also had the "Sheep Lady" in her body. Halo. She pretended not to know Hua Rong at first, originally intending to remind each other not to expose each other. However, how could Hua Rong take care of her? Her experience has been exaggerated by Wu Jinnu and others, and there is nothing to hide, but what about Wang Junhua
Naturally, Wang Junhua didn't know this level. When he thought about it, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat and feel thorns on his back.
Wanwan smiled deliberately and said: "Mrs. Qin, I heard that the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom rescued you when you were in the Liujiasi Jin Camp? Ah, there are also good people among the captives?"
She hated Wang Junhua extremely, and she would naturally pursue and fight her when she got the chance. Wang Junhua forced a smile and said, "Where is this groundless theory? Slave..."
Tianwei wanted to stop Wanwan, but she was fed up with Wang Junhua's bullying. Seeing Wang Junhua speechless and embarrassed for the first time, she felt so happy that she didn't speak.
