When Yun Xian heard this, she actually held Wen Qingzhu's hand with gratitude on her face: "Really? How about this? How about I call you Sister Qingzhu from now on?"
Wen Qingzhu was slightly surprised, then smiled gently: "Okay, then I will call you Sister Xian from now on."
The two people were pretended to be touched, and then held hands with each other and headed towards the place where the princes were hunting.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard.
There are many chamberlains and guards here.
Seeing them coming, a father-in-law who looked like a steward came over.
"This slave has met Miss Yun and Miss Wen."
"You're welcome, when will the Fifth Highness and the others come back again? The dinner will start in two hours." Although Yun Xian said this, her eyes were looking at the road to the south.
The steward's father-in-law led them to a small pavilion and sat down. He ordered the young father-in-law to serve tea, and then explained: "Your Highness, they have been back three times. Just now, His Highness the Crown Prince said that they will not go back after hunting another batch of prey." .”
"Reward!" Yun Xian said with a smile.
The maid next to her immediately took out a gold lock and handed it to the father-in-law.
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways, slightly surprised.
Is the Yun family so rich
After a while, the father-in-law in charge sent someone a plate of pastries.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the father-in-law with a smile: "I like this persimmon cake very much."
Lu Tao understood the idea, took out a similar piece of gold, and handed it to the father-in-law in charge.
This scene fell into Yun Xian's eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
The father-in-law in charge knew some inside information and felt that he could not stay longer, so he excused himself.
When there was no one else around, Yun Xian smiled and said, "I heard that Sister Qingzhu is in charge of the third lady's dowry?"
"Well, it's not managed well." Wen Qingzhu smiled shyly.
Yun Xian naturally knew that since Wen Qingzhu took over Lu's dowry, the harvest of the shops outside and Zhuangzi was getting worse and worse.
Zhuangzi managed to do well and saved one.
But I heard that all the shops were resold, and Wanrentang, which was so profitable back then, disappeared within a year.
Yun Xian had a wry smile on her face: "It's better for me, sister Qingzhu. The third lady only has your daughter. She doesn't want me. Even if my sister dies, my mother still wants her share to be left to her."
"This is natural. After all, Miss Yun is also Madam's favorite." Wen Qingzhu's mind changed. Yun Xian would not think that she did not know how to manage money.
Yun Xian turned her head and glanced behind her: "I just saw my sister being so generous with her actions. She must have a lot of money in her hands."
Wen Qingzhu sneered in his heart, is this Yunxian really interested in her money
When Yun Xian looked over, Wen Qingzhu deliberately covered his mouth: "I saw Sister Xian rewarding the father-in-law so much just now. I thought this was the rule in the palace. What should I do? This has already cost me half of my money. Originally, This is reserved for rewarding the people around Concubine Wan Gui!"
Yun Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "This is not a rule in the palace. It's just that the steward has helped me a lot before, so I rewarded him so much."
"So that's it. Then Sister Xian will help me get half of it back?" Wen Qingzhu deliberately ignored her.
Yun Xian's face became even worse. She was stunned for a long time before saying, "Why don't you send someone over there yourself?"
Fortunately, the sound of horse hooves in the distance interrupted their conversation.
But when Wen Qingzhu turned his gaze, Yun Xian's eyes flashed.
After a while, several tall horses approached from far away.
In addition to the crown prince, Prince Ning, the fifth prince, and Fu Lie, Zheng Xu was also there.
Prince Ning dismounted first, threw the prey on his horse to his attendants, and revealed a sinister smile: "Miss Wen Qi is here too!"
He looked at Jiang Yuancheng thoughtfully.
When Wen Qingzhu saw that Yunxian was about to stand up and speak, Wen Qingzhu spoke first and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'm here to see you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes stopped on Zheng Xu.
He looked a little depressed. After hearing Wen Qingzhu's words, he immediately got off his horse and walked over.
"Miss Wen Qi, it just so happens that I have something to do with you."
Wen Qingzhu stood up and said goodbye to the prince and others one by one.
At the end, she and Fu Lie looked at each other for a moment, and after understanding each other, they left with Zheng Xu.
Yunxian swallowed the words that reached her throat.
Of course Jiang Yuancheng knew why Wen Qingzhu came back.
He dismounted without changing his expression, handed the prey to his attendants, and then glanced at the steward father-in-law behind Yun Xian.
"Cousin, I also have something to ask you."
Yunxian gritted her teeth and felt very unwilling. Why was Zheng Xu so cooperative with Wen Qingzhu
After the two girls each took away one, Prince Ning lost his spirits and suddenly turned to look at Fu Lie: "I thought Miss Wen was here to see Mr. Fu!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Ning was joking." Fu Lie held his hand.
Without saying much, Fu Lie walked up to the prince, whispered a few words, then said goodbye to Prince Ning, and left with the prince's milk.
"Congratulations to the Crown Prince!" Prince Ning bowed and cupped his hands, looking at the Crown Prince's back with his eyes narrowed.
When the prince walked away, Prince Ning stood up straight and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
The steward who was standing at the door quickly ran down, bowed and said flatteringly: "What orders does His Highness Prince Ning have?"
Prince Ning glanced behind him and saw a guard dragging up a sack.
After opening the sack, half of the python's body was revealed.
The father-in-law in charge turned pale with fright and backed away.
Prince Ning's smile became more and more ferocious: "You can put this in the prey we hunt later, you know!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The steward lowered his head in horror.
A boa constrictor of this size has not been seen in the royal enclosure for many years.
The last time such a big python appeared was before the palace change decades ago.
After the big python appeared, Qin Tianjian predicted that troubled times were coming.
Later, Emperor Shunde Jiang Yue ascended the throne and immediately replaced those Qintian Prisoners.
It is said to the outside world that these Qintian eunuchs retired to their hometowns, but everyone knows that these people are doomed.
In the dense forest not far away.
Wen Qingzhu and Zheng Xu walked side by side, with the maids and guards behind them far behind.
"Master Zheng, what happened in the Prince's Mansion?"
When Zheng Xu heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
Seeing his appearance, Wen Qingzhu sighed: "Yesterday's Crown Princess was also in a state of disbelief. She didn't even dare to see me alone. If it's about the child, don't worry. The Crown Princess is in good health. Sooner or later-"
"That's not it!" Zheng Xu's suppressed voice seemed to come from the ground.
He stopped, and Wen Qingzhu also stopped and looked at him quietly.
Zheng Xu's eyes were clearly flustered, and he finally shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "Concubine Wu discovered what happened between me and the Crown Princess."
"What does this have to do with anything?" Wen Qingzhu was puzzled. According to He Wenru's character, he would never do anything to feel sorry for Jiang Yuansheng.
"But the prince's temperament..." Zheng Xu suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Wen Qingzhu, "If he finds out, I won't be able to help them. Just relying on the prince's own strength, there is no way he can save-"
Zheng Xu didn't dare to say the next words, but Wen Qingzhu also understood.
Jiang Yuansheng has a ruthless father and a calm and calm mother, but his own qualifications are very mediocre.
It stands to reason that this is a peaceful era. As long as Jiang Yue wholeheartedly paves the way for Jiang Yuansheng, he will have no problem ascending to Dabao.
In Wen Qingzhu's memory, Jiang Yue actually had high hopes for Jiang Yuansheng.
Although he was strict with Jiang Yuansheng in normal times, it seemed that Prince Ning and the Crown Prince were wavering.
But in fact, Jiang Yue has always firmly hoped that Jiang Yuansheng could inherit the throne.
In the previous life, the prince's palace was infiltrated, and the prince and princess were separated.
Later, Jiang Yuansheng became more and more frightened and listened to Greedy Chen's words and pushed away the Zheng family.
In the end, under the joint attack of King Ning and King Chu, Jiang Yue was completely disappointed with him.
In the end, King Jing died, killing Jiang Yue's last hope, and Jiang Yuansheng was finally deprived of his position as prince.
This time, Wen Qingzhu had solved the witchcraft issue in advance.
Why are there still problems in the Prince's Mansion
"You should just tell His Highness the Crown Prince directly. There should be no problem. Although the Crown Prince is... average, he still knows right from wrong." Wen Qingzhu felt that Zheng Xu was making a fuss out of a molehill.
But Zheng Xu shook his head: "You don't know, someone set up the Crown Princess and I. At that time, the Crown Princess was pushed by the maid and almost fell into the water. I pulled the Crown Princess back out of desperation, and it happened to-"
"Where's that maid?" Wen Qingzhu immediately felt that something was wrong.
Zheng Xu murmured: "When the prince came in, I was guilty of being a thief, so I just tried to explain it. By the time we found the maid, she had already committed suicide by throwing herself into the well."
Wen Qingzhu frowned, how could things become like this
Once the current prince is weak, Jiang Yuancheng will definitely take advantage of it.
Once Jiang Yuancheng falls into Jiang Yue's eyes, it will be much more difficult to deal with Jiang Yuancheng.
"I'm going to see the Crown Princess." Wen Qingzhu turned to leave.
Zheng Xu quickly grabbed her: "Wait! Wait!"
Wen Qingzhu was worried, why were things in the Prince's Mansion so troublesome.
But Zheng Xu was unwilling to let her go. When he was about to take action, Xiaoman saw that the situation was not good and quickly stepped forward to stop Zheng Xu.
Seeing that a servant dared to take action, Zheng Xu felt angry and immediately shouted: "Let me go!"
"Don't chase Miss!" Xiaoman firmly refused to let go and looked at Zheng Xu steadily.
Wen Qingzhu originally wanted to dissuade him, but when he thought that Zheng Xu was in the game, he couldn't see the whole story clearly.
She ordered: "Xiaoman, stop Mr. Zheng, I have something going on here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoman immediately started to capture Zheng Xu.
It had been a long time since anyone had dared to be so presumptuous. Zheng Xu immediately darkened his face and started fighting with Xiao Man.
Suddenly an arrow flew through the air. Wen Qingzhu was startled and ducked sideways.
From the corner of her eye, she saw Xiaoman and Zheng Xu still fighting, and she immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
When Xiaoman saw this, he immediately stopped his hand and pulled Zheng Xu instead.
But Zheng Xu was so angry that he didn't even try.
With one palm strike, it hit Xiaoman's left shoulder.
Xiaoman's throat felt sweet, and before he could completely avoid it, his right shoulder was scratched by an arrow.
With a plop, Xiaoman fell to the ground.
Wen Qingzhu was immediately shocked: "Xiaoman!"
She hurriedly ran to Xiaoman, helped her up, pressed Xiaoman's pulse, and her expression darkened.
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu took out the Qianjin Pill from his sleeve without any hesitation.
Zheng Xu was feeling regretful, but when he saw Qian Jin Wan, his eyes suddenly widened: "This-"
"Shut up!" Wen Qingzhu gave him a cold look and asked Xiaoman to swallow the Qianjin Pill.
