Wu Sheyue was a little tired at this time. She hadn't even eaten a bite of snacks just now, so she had to run out to bask in the sun again. As she walked towards the door, she was thinking: Ah, she still remembers the prince, who looked fair and fair. He came here when the male members of the Wu family returned from their study tour, probably for the purpose of recruiting him to the throne in the future. Wings -
Just as Wu Sheyue was thinking in confusion, Wu Jinghua pushed aside Aunt Meng and squeezed over. She whispered in Wu Sheyue's ear: "Third sister, I advise you to go and apologize to your elder brother. Bar."
Wu Sheyue came to her senses, and then glanced at her boredly: "Oh, second sister, what do you mean by this? Yue'er didn't understand, could it be that... I just offended my eldest brother?"
Wu Jinghua turned his head and glared at her: "Haha, stop pretending. You know it yourself. Wu Ziqi is the only eldest son in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He is like a god in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You have forgotten how he treated you before. Right? Aren’t some things engraved in your bones and never gone away?”
Seeing Wu Jinghua's excited and manic look, Wu Sheyue was a little frightened. Wu Jinghua continued to say coldly: "Aren't you scared anymore? Maybe if you kneel down and beg for mercy, Wu Ziqi will let you go. .”
She knew that Wu Ziqi was not as human as he seemed on the surface. Wu Sheyue frowned, it turns out that you, the Prime Minister's Mansion, are really evil and can't escape.
She turned her head and looked directly at Wu Jinghua's sarcastic face, and then said word by word: "Oh, it turns out that the second sister is here to give herself a backing. Don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else. I will definitely let him do this." It’s for you. He’ll finish it first, and you’ll finish second.”
"You—" Wu Sheyue's sinister eyes shocked Wu Jinghua. The last time she saw these eyes was in the mourning hall...
Wu Sheyue reassured her, "There are a lot of people bullying me in this prime minister's office. Don't worry, second sister, you will definitely not be ranked as the boss. Just wait and wait."
Wu Jinghua suddenly came to his senses and cursed angrily in a low voice: "You - you have such a loud tone! Then I'll just wait and see who among us has the last laugh!"
Wu Sheyue shrugged and said with a nonchalant smile: "Oh~ Whatever. But I hope that the second sister will break up with me this time and stop doing repairs. If you are not tired, I will be."
"Hmph!" Wu Jinghua clenched her fists but failed to make a move. She knew that she couldn't argue with Wu Sheyue, so she had no choice but to speak with the facts. Then she shook her head and walked away.
Wu Jinghua's eyes were red with anger when he turned around. Just wait, let you feed me flies, let you put me in solitary confinement, let you snatch my little prince... Soon, you will pay back twice as much.
Everyone had just walked into the courtyard at this time, when Wu Sheyue suddenly realized that someone was following her. Her whole body froze, and a cold sweat suddenly fell on her head. Her heartbeat was very fast, as if... it was like the time she was killed by a sneak attack in her previous life!
Since she came here, she hasn't received any substantial fatal threats, so she hasn't felt this kind of panic for a long time.
At this moment, she felt that everything around her was illusory, and only the threat behind her was real. But it was obviously the Prime Minister's Mansion here, it was daytime, and she was with many people! How, how could it be possible... to be targeted? !
Her trembling steps stopped, and she suddenly turned around in panic, and suddenly she saw Wu Ziyi walking behind her!
The boy walked calmly with his head lowered. When he saw Wu Sheyue in front of him, he stopped, raised his head and nodded politely at her with a smile.
Wu Sheyue blinked, she felt that she must be crazy busy! Actually... I actually thought it was this child!
She didn't need to look in the mirror to know that her complexion must be very bad. She ignored Wu Ziyi's smile and turned back stiffly.

At this time, Xin Yu also came in. He was wearing plain clothes in a dark purple gown today, and he was leading an attendant behind him. As soon as he entered the door, he said cheerfully: "I heard that Ziqi came back today, so I came here specifically to see the disciples of Taoist Yunshan!"
Wu Hantian immediately led a group of people forward. He clasped his fists and bowed, "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince." The people behind him also sparsely followed suit.
"Haha, you're welcome, Mr. Wu," Xin Yusheng laughed and came over to hold Wu Hantian's arm, looking very happy. "I'm here for a private visit this time. Is Ziqi here too?"
When Wu Ziqi saw that the prince was really here for him, his face lit up and he stepped forward with high spirits: "Yes, Ziqi is in your thoughts, thanks to your highness."
"Long time no see." Xin Yu stepped forward and patted Wu Ziqi's shoulder as if he was affectionate: "That old Taoist in Yunshan has a very tricky temper. I am really curious that Ziqi can learn from him and come back. So. I came here to see you... But it seems that today is the prime minister’s family banquet, so I’m here at the wrong time.”
Wu Sheyue looked at He from the side and felt that the prince had some ability to win people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, you're so polite. It's not the right time. It's hot outside. Please take a seat inside." The old lady was overjoyed and hurriedly went inside to invite people.
Xin Yu had a smile on his face, and his words just now were meant to be polite, so he walked inside.
When he passed by Wu Liuyun, Wu Liuyun also took the initiative to say, "Cherry, go over and get some sour plum juice and ask the kitchen to make some ice." As she spoke, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Xin Yu.
Cherry responded and turned around and ran away. Hearing this, Xin Yu also turned his head and looked at Wu Liuyun. The two looked at each other, and Wu Liuyun's face immediately turned red. She stretched out her hand to brush her hair, her eyes slightly lowered.
Wu Liuyun knew what kind of movements were the most innocent and sultry, and what kind of eyes were the most infatuating. And she was working hard to do this, just waiting for the prince to take the bait.
Wu Sheyue looked at the two people looking at each other affectionately and thought to herself, this is really a bloody show~
Xin Yu looked at Wu Liuyun's shy look, smiled slightly, and walked into the house.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingxue felt that both of her children were valued by the prince, and the hostility in her heart dissipated a lot.
Since the prince personally came to win over his son, once the prince comes to power, Zi Qi will definitely become an important minister of the emperor and take over the position of prime minister. By then, if she marries her daughter and becomes the queen, she will definitely rise to the top of the world in one step. Let’s see who will still oppose her!

After entering, Xin Yu naturally sat at the top, and everyone also sat down one after another. Then Xin Yu kept chatting with Wu Ziqi: "Ziqi, where does that old Yunshan Taoist live? I heard that no one can find his whereabouts. I am really curious."
"This..." Wu Ziqi looked troubled and said nervously: "Master has an order not to be spread outside."
He said and hurriedly made amends, "Besides, Master often travels out. I don't know where he is right now."
Although the prince was disappointed, he didn't show any signs of it. He just sighed: "Although this old Taoist likes to make mysteries, he is still a strange person. If Zi Qi can get his true inheritance, he will definitely become Long Fu's pillar in the future."
Wu Ziqi said happily: "Thank you, Prince, for your appreciation."
Xin Yu was very satisfied. Looking at Wu Ziqi's attitude, the Prime Minister's Mansion would definitely be on his side. And there is also Wu Liuyun...
Yingying called the maid to serve tea for everyone. Xinyu picked it up, looked at the ripples in the cup, and asked Wu Hantian: "Mr. Wu, I think you are still young and have to practice tomorrow. Are you willing to let Ziqi enter the court first?"
Wu Hantian's heart moved, "This has actually not been discussed yet. I wonder if the prince has any good suggestions."
"Well... the official position of the Imperial College Siye has been raised one level. This position will probably be vacant in a few days. I will go back and tell my father and ask Zi Qi to come over and train. What do you think, Prime Minister Wu?"
Wu Hantian looked happy. The position of the Imperial College was not bad, and it was directly subordinate to the prince. It seemed that the prince's intention was obvious, that is, to win over the Prime Minister.
Wu Ziqi glanced at Wu Hantian and immediately said: "Thank you very much for the prince's love. Ziqi will definitely live up to the prince's high expectations."
Xin Yu raised the corners of his mouth. Things were much simpler than he thought... He lowered his head and took a sip of sour plum tea.
snap—
A crisp sound of breaking porcelain suddenly sounded. Everyone looked over in surprise and saw a bowl of sour plum tea hitting the ground. Red and black juice and fragments splashed everywhere, leaving the ground in a mess. All eyes were looking at Wu Sheyue, because the cup was broken at Wu Sheyue's feet.
However, Wu Sheyue was not panicked at all and sat still. She folded her hands on her knees and seemed not to touch anything.
The old lady was angry, and a wave of anger attacked her heart. Just now the prince said he wanted to promote Ziqi, and this girl started making a fuss by throwing a cup! Could it be that Jiang Qingxue really got it right and that she was dissatisfied with her eldest grandson? !
Jiang Qingxue also looked very unhappy, and was very worried that she would make the prince unhappy.
Before anyone could speak, Wu Jinghua said quickly, "Third sister! You are too careless." Her voice seemed to be lowered on purpose, but it was just enough for everyone to hear.
As she said this, she turned back to greet Qing Xing and said, "Why don't you go and clean it up quickly."
Qingxing sighed, lowered her head and ran over to pick up the pieces.
Wu Jinghua did this very quickly, and the difference between the two concubines became too obvious. One was careless and unruly, while the other was sensible and considerate and knew how to make amends.
Wu Hantian frowned and asked, "Yue'er, what are you doing!"
Wu Sheyue raised her eyes and looked at Wu Hantian, and said very calmly: "I don't understand what dad said I did. I didn't smash the cup." (To be continued)
