"Third Miss is too modest. What I like is you." Xin Yu laughed, "You are also a smart and transparent person, so let's not play charades. I would like to ask Third Miss to marry me after Ji. palace."
Wu Sheyue stiffened, and he knew that Xin Yu must have heard what she and Wu Liuyun said! However, this was the first time in her two lives that she had been "proposed" by someone! And...the suitor still has such a tough attitude!
"But I still think it's not worthwhile for Your Highness the Crown Prince. My eldest sister is the eldest daughter. She has more rights and wealth, but I have nothing." She had been thinking about how to lead Ning'er away, so how could she agree to the counterattack? Come and go to the palace. The palace is a place that eats people even more than the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it must not be considered.
Xin Yu said with a sarcastic expression, "Do you think I lack power and wealth? Even without the help of the Prime Minister, I still firmly hold the position of crown prince. Wu Liuyun is the icing on the cake for me. And Miss Third, you are the best. It's timely help. Your brains and skills are worthy of the position of the crown prince's concubine."
To be honest, Wu Sheyue was a little excited at first (this excitement is basically fear), after all, she came here with a high position! Rejection must not be too hurtful. If the prince is unhappy, he will be beheaded.
However, as soon as the word "side" came out, Wu Sheyue knew that she was really narcissistic and overthinking...
She is just a concubine, and she will be one-thousandth of the three-thousand beauties in the harem. That’s nothing! As long as the emperor ignores her, she will be KO’d by the crowd in minutes! Fortunately, she thought Xin Yu was using her position as queen to make a promise, so Bai was scared.
Xin Yu also saw the change in the expression on Wu Sheyue's face, which suddenly changed from solemn to irritable, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little curious about what this girl was thinking of.
When Wu Sheyue relaxed, her tone became much more relaxed. She regained her gentle expression and said, "Prince, you praise me too much. I really don't have anything worthy of Your Highness. The prince can find my little tricks at will." A few carpenters can research it, and the brain... I am just a little clever, the prince should be able to see it."
"..." Xin Yu didn't answer. He had originally sworn that Wu Sheyue was a person, but he was deceived by her and felt a little shaken in his heart.
"I could easily agree, but if I get married and the prince finds out that I am useless, will he think that I deceived the prince of his benefits and kill me in anger?"
Hearing this, Xin Yu suddenly came to his senses, and his wavering just now turned into an inevitable victory. He said arrogantly: "No, I just bet on the right person."
"..." This time the silent one turned into Wu Sheyue.
"As long as you help me conquer the world, from now on you will be the lowest ranked imperial concubine in the palace, and no one can touch you. You will live in glory and wealth for the rest of your life."
Wu Sheyue was a little puzzled, "But you are already the prince and will definitely inherit the throne in the future. You don't need my help at all!"
Xin Yu sneered, "No, you don't understand this yet, but as long as you agree, we will naturally have to discuss specific matters."
“…”
"You help me consolidate my position, and I will give you all the wealth you want. You won't suffer any loss." Xin Yu leaned over, picked up a strand of Wu Sheyue's long hair with his fingers, and said ambiguously: "Don't worry, you can consider it Until you get haircut."
Wu Sheyue did not hide away this time. She looked at Xin Yu and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will think about it carefully." This answer was the same as that given to Yu Jing. She did not dare to say anything, just because If you are not capable enough, you must not make enemies of anyone.
"Then I'm waiting for news from you." After Xin Yu got a satisfactory answer, he let go of his hand and turned to leave. What he was confident about was that as long as Wu Sheyue didn't refuse, he would definitely agree in the future.
Wu Sheyue looked at the direction Xin Yu was leaving without moving for a long time, and her thoughts were swirling in her heart. Unexpectedly... she actually attracted the prince's attention for no reason. If she still wanted to run away quietly, it would definitely be a big bad thing for her.
And what she couldn't figure out the most was why it would be like this.
People like Xin Yu should be extremely ambitious, so even if he already occupies the position of prince, he still has to carefully win over the courtiers and develop his wings. How could such a person think that she could help him politically just because she had made a wooden bird, painted a sacred deer, had some brains, and caused some trouble? In any case, judging from her current performance, she is a useless rookie, and she is definitely not as easy to use as Wu Liuyun.
Is there any misunderstanding or conspiracy here
When she thought of the misunderstanding, Wu Sheyue suddenly had an idea. She thought of the conditions she had agreed to with Yu Jing! Could it be that... what the prince wants is essentially the same as Yu Jing's? !
No, that's not right either. Yu Jing would come to her because he knew too much. Whether it's birthmarks or the secrets of those ghostly puppets that look fake, they are all explored by Yu Jing. But the prince has never seen those wooden dolls of hers.
Could it be that without looking, the prince could just guess that she would make something like a large mechanical crossbow, or some unknown destructive thing, and then use it for... war
Wu Sheyue rubbed her head, damn, if you can't figure it out, just don't think about it! Anyway, wouldn’t it be over if you don’t marry into the royal family~
Not only that, she also firmly decided to run away with Ning'er. These people are so terrifying. As a killer, she can only take the lives of a few people, but these powerful people can instigate the life and death of thousands of people with a single order. Being on tenterhooks every day with this kind of person will definitely shorten your life!
Moreover, the most important point why Wu Sheyue was unwilling to agree to Xin Yu was that although they were negotiating a deal, Xin Yu's condition was entirely to accept her for his own use, which was unbearable. In contrast, Yu Jing That kind of fair exchange, as well as payment in advance, is more "sincere" and free.

After that day, Wu Ziqi had no chance to seek revenge from Wu Sheyue right away. After all, he had just returned to the imperial capital, and the most important thing now was actually following Wu Hantian to make friends with courtiers and integrate into this complex official network.
Xin Yu had promised that Wu Ziqi would immediately enter the position of Director of the Imperial College. So Wu Ziqi was very busy during this period, trying hard to prepare for his first position in life.
In this comparison, the "little fights" between the sisters in the back house seem insignificant. Wu Ziqi even felt that he would have to deal with that insignificant ant sooner or later, so what would it matter if he asked her to live a few more days.
Wu Hantian, Wu Ziqi and Wu Ziming went out early and came back late every day, and Wu Ziyi was as boring as Wu Yin'er, so the Prime Minister's Mansion was not much different from before they came back.
Therefore, Wu Sheyue's life these days is quite comfortable.
The sun was scorching, so Wu Sheyue asked someone to move the rocking chair under the shade of a tree, and then lay down inside to enjoy the cool air.
Sisi, who was sitting on her left, was holding a fan in her hand and fanning her constantly. Ning'er, who was on her right, peeled longans that had been boiled in cold water and put them in her mouth. Wu Sheyue couldn't help but cross her legs leisurely, feeling that she was about to become an immortal~
She closed her eyes and enjoyed the comfort. Suddenly she remembered Wu Ziqi's angry expression before, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ning'er raised her eyes to look at Wu Sheyue, then shook her head and sighed - Hey, her young lady is really getting more and more lively, will she be able to get better in the future if this continues
At this time, a boy's crisp voice came from the door: "Third sister, are you there?"
Ning'er stood up, looked over there, and said to Wu Sheyue, "Miss, it's the young master here."
Wu Sheyue opened her eyes, looked sideways at the child running over, half-closed her eyes and asked lazily: "Oh, it's Ziyi, what's the matter?"
So, as soon as Wu Ziyi entered the door, he saw a scene like this: the third sister, who was a lady and gentle, wise and intelligent yesterday, has now turned into a lazy man. But there was no change on Wu Ziyi's face, and he seemed not to have seen this indecent scene at all.
He walked up to Wu Sheyue and said very politely: "Ziyi came here because he has something to ask Third Sister."
When Wu Sheyue heard this, she stretched out, sat up from the rocking chair reluctantly and said, "Well, you say it."
Wu Ziyi touched his nose in embarrassment and said with some hesitation, "That's right, before... the third sister and the eldest brother won the duel... I don't know which book it was in, and I would like to ask the third sister to explain it to me, because Daddy said he wanted to check our academic results... I, I want to work harder."
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows, "Is that all?"
"yes."
"Oh... no need to read, let's go play~"
"Third sister?" Wu Ziyi looked stunned, as if he didn't understand.
Ning'er had followed Wu Sheyue for so long, so she naturally understood Wu Sheyue's temperament, but at this time she still felt that Wu Sheyue had gone too far, so she called out in a low voice: "Miss!"
But Wu Sheyue ignored Ning'er's protest and asked him with a smile: "Do you think your father will take the test for you?" This kid is not stupid, so why do he have to make useless preparations.
"..." As soon as she said these words, Wu Ziyi stared at Wu Sheyue and fell silent. What she said was indeed an uncomfortable truth.
Dad never paid much attention to him, and during this inspection, he only mentioned his two brothers. Even when dad said it, it was like a joke, but he was the only one who really took it seriously.
Wu Sheyue saw that he seemed to have nothing important to ask, so her body softened and she lay back in the rocking chair again as if she had no bones. She sighed and said, "So, what are you looking at? Let the children play. ” (To be continued)
