The three of them looked up and found that the person coming was actually Princess Yijia.
The maidservant who was guarding outside the pavilion was pushed to both sides by Princess Yijia's people.
Jiang Yijia walked quickly to them and glanced around with unkind eyes.
His eyes finally stopped on Wen Qingzhu, and he said with a malicious tone: "You were the one who just suggested that the county chief should marry Fu Yu?"
Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and quickly replied: "Princess, I'm mistaken—"
Just after saying three words, there was a 'pop' sound, and Pingshu County Lord blocked Jiang Yijia's slap in the face.
"Princess Yijia, please be polite. This is the Liang family, not the palace! If you want to hit someone, you have to find out who the owner is!" The tone of County Master Pingshu became colder.
An unfriendly smile appeared on Jiang Yijia's face, and she shook her hand: "What are you doing, cousin? I'm just watching this as a joke."
County Lord Pingshu snorted coldly, not believing her words at all.
However, Jiang Yijia had a high status, so she still let go of Jiang Yijia.
Lei Shuo hurriedly walked to Wen Qingzhu's side, protected her behind him, and said in a cold tone: "What Qingzhu said just now is that the county master is suitable for people like Mr. Fu, not Mr. Fu. Princess Yijia is probably You got it wrong!"
"Really?" Jiang Yijia glanced at Lei Shuo, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Anyone who dares to covet Fu Yu will die!
Even though Wen Qingzhu just made a suggestion, Princess Wuyang never mentioned the matter of choosing a son-in-law again.
Isn’t it obvious that he likes Fu Yu? !
The most important thing is that today is the Hundred Flowers Banquet, an opportunity for high-ranking families in the capital to see each other.
Fu Yu, who refused the emperor's offer of marriage, came here.
Jiang Yijia glanced at Pingshu, how could this rude Pingshu compare to her!
Why did Fu Yu reject the marriage offer from her father and come to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet between the two families
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yijia quietly, his heart gradually becoming heavy.
Jiang Yijia had a grudge against the head of Shang Pingshu County.
"Your Highness Princess, when you look at me like this, does it mean that my appearance is inappropriate?" Pingshu County Lord felt Jiang Yijia's malice and just sneered in her heart.
With her virtues, Fu Yu only fell in love with her, Jiang Yijia.
If she hadn't had a mother who was a concubine who doted on the harem, and her brother Prince Ning who was appreciated by the emperor.
With her temperament, I'm afraid she would have been beaten to death long ago.
"Princess, His Highness the Fifth Prince is here." A palace maid reminded Jiang Yijia in a low voice.
Wen Qingzhu noticed Jiang Yuancheng early and became increasingly calm.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yuancheng arrived.
Jiang Yijia looked at him with disgust: "What are you doing here?"
"Sister Huang, the royal concubine in the palace has sent someone over, and my brother is here to invite the emperor back." Jiang Yuancheng replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Jiang Yijia frowned, glanced sideways at Wen Qingzhu and the others, and then turned and left.
After Princess Yijia and her party left, Jiang Yuancheng turned back to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Miss Wen, you shouldn't mention Mr. Fu."
Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, is overly worried. Qingzhu truly believes that only people like Mr. Fu are worthy of being the county lord."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuancheng frowned slightly.
It was impossible for Wen Qingzhu not to understand his kind reminder. Such an answer showed that he either didn't trust him or didn't know Jiang Yijia's character at all.
Jiang Yuancheng felt that Wen Qingzhu didn't trust him.
That's it. It's useless for him to say more.
"County Lord, my brother is leaving." Jiang Yuancheng bowed to Pingshu County Lord and turned to leave.
After he left, County Master Pingshu looked at Wen Qingzhu doubtfully: "When did your relationship with your fifth cousin become so good?"
Wen Qingzhu immediately corrected him: "County Master, Qingzhu is just an ordinary person, how can he have a good relationship with the fifth prince?"
Lei Shuo followed up and said: "This fifth prince is a low-key man. He always follows the prince. He is polite to everyone. He does not make mistakes and does not take credit. Naturally, he will not remind people casually. The county master and I are both This is the first time I see him showing kindness to others, you know, he is always polite and distant to the county lord."
"Well, His Highness the Fifth Prince does treat you differently." County Lord Pingshu continued.
Wen Qingzhu curled his lips and looked at them with eyes that deepened: "I wonder what Sister Shuo and the County Lord think of His Highness the Fifth Prince?"
"What do you think?" County Master Pingshu thought seriously.
After a long while, she replied: "His mother-in-law has a low status and earns a living under Concubine Li. He himself has average qualifications and talents and is not very outstanding. He only found a position with the blessing of the prince. He is now over ten years old. Of the princes, he is the only one who has not been crowned king, and the emperor doesn’t seem to care much about him.”
"In addition, he has a good reputation in official circles. His grandfather thinks very well of him. However, his father doesn't like him very much, but he never said anything bad about him." Lei Shuo said.
Wen Qingzhu whispered twice, which made County Master Lei Shuo and Ping Shu a little confused.
"Don't judge people by their superficial appearance. Haven't you ever thought about this problem? Concubine Wan relies on Concubine Li for protection, but the fifth prince relies on the protection of the prince. Obviously he can take refuge in Prince Ning. Doesn't this make Concubine Li and Prince Ning more relieved? "
Wen Qingzhu's eyes were deep and his voice was extremely soft, but it could be heard clearly by Lei Shuo and Ping Shu.
The Lord of Pingshu County grew up beside the eldest princess, and was influenced by her ears and eyes. She could see some situations much more clearly than Lei Shuo.
After Wen Qingzhu's prompting, County Master Pingshu was stunned and seemed to have figured out some impossible things.
Lei Shuo looked at them blankly, what's the problem
County Lord Pingshu's expression slowly relaxed.
She cupped her hands and thanked Wen Qingzhu: "Thank you, sister Qingzhu, for reminding me this time. I will tell my mother about this. You really can't judge people by their superficial appearance."
Lei Shuo wondered: "What on earth are you talking about?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled reassuringly and said, "Sister Shuo, you can go back and ask your uncle why he doesn't like His Highness Fifth Prince. There must be a reason."
Half an hour later, they returned to Deer Park.
Before he even got close, a maid hurried over.
"County Master, Concubine Xia's tea has been tampered with. The eldest princess is not here right now. Please go and take a look."
"What?!" County Master Pingshu immediately frowned, "Let's go! Take me there quickly!"
Lei Shuo and Wen Qingzhu hurriedly followed.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the curtain.
The curtains of the curtains have been lowered, and maids are coming in and out carrying things.
The Lord of Pingshu County hurriedly walked in and saw Concubine Xia lying on the small couch with a pale face.
"Where's the doctor? Have you gone to ask for the doctor?" Pingshu County Lord asked immediately.
"I've sent someone to invite you, but how could your mother's tea be tampered with?" A lady sitting in front of the couch turned around and looked over.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes suddenly darkened. This lady looked very similar to Wan Ze.
Then she is Mrs. Wan, Concubine Xia's biological aunt.
"Mrs. Wan, where's the tea?" County Lord Pingshu asked again.
Mrs. Wan turned her head to the half cup of tea on the small table next to her.
County Master Pingshu hurriedly walked over, and Wen Qingzhu followed her, smelling a hint of red flowers.
While doing this, there was a maid with her head lowered whose face could not be seen clearly. She was holding a handkerchief and wanted to go out.
Wen Qingzhu frowned and scolded in a cold voice: "Stop!"
Her voice was loud and everyone immediately looked over.
The maid was a little panicked. Wen Qingzhu pointed directly at her and said, "There's something wrong with that maid! Catch her!"
Before she finished speaking, the maid simply pushed the person next to her away and tried to run out in the chaos.
However, the Lord of Pingshu County was very skilled in martial arts and jumped over in front of the maid.
He grabbed her shoulders with one hand and replaced the maid's knees with his feet.
The maid groaned in pain and knelt down.
The Lord of Pingshu County immediately ordered his servants: "Tie her up and gag her!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The maid who was helping beside her quickly went over to hold her.
But as soon as County Master Pingshu let go, the maid who took over screamed: "County Master! She bit her tongue and committed suicide!"
The Lord of Pingshu County immediately stretched out his hand to hold the maid's chin and turned it over to take a look.
This maid had blood oozing from the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes, clearly dead.
"What should we do now?" A maid asked the county master.
Lord Pingshu's expression became more and more serious: "No one is allowed to go out! Qinghu and Honghu, take good care of these maids!"
Wen Qingzhu walked to Concubine Xia and said to Madam Wan: "Mrs. Wan, I am Wen Qingzhu from the third room of the Wen family, and Wen Qingfang is my sixth sister. I know a little bit about medicine. Why don't you let me show it to you first?"
"Yeah." Mrs. Wan didn't know that she was Wen Qingzhu of the Wen family.
Just now, she was sitting on the competition ring, with Wanshi next to her.
She had already found out everything about Wen Qingzhu.
Wan naturally told her that Wen Qingzhu had good medical skills.
After getting out of the way, Wen Qingzhu checked Concubine Xia's pulse and took out a small porcelain bottle.
After taking out a pill, he wanted to feed it to Concubine Xia.
But before he stretched out his hand, he was stopped by a nanny next to him.
"Ms. Wen, what kind of medicine is this?"
Wen Qingzhu explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, mama, this medicine will soothe the nerves and nourish the fetus, and will not harm the child in the belly. Just now, the concubine drank tea with safflower. If the medicine is not taken in time, the chance of miscarriage will be greatly increased. .”
When the grandma heard this, she suddenly became excited: "Is the queen really pregnant?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded affirmatively: "It's less than half a month."
"Then, please ask Miss Wen to save the emperor's grandson!" Grandma looked at Wen Qingzhu pleadingly.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and said, "Don't worry, mama, the concubine doesn't drink much tea, so there should be no problem."
After feeding Concubine Xia the pills, Wen Qingzhu stood up and planned to see the maid who bit her tongue and committed suicide.
But when she was about to turn around, someone grabbed her wrist.
Looking back, Concubine Xia woke up and her face regained a little rosiness.
She said angrily: "Miss Wen, please keep this matter of pregnancy a secret."
"Don't worry, Madam, Qingzhu knows." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
Concubine Xia is now less than half a month pregnant. She doesn't even know it, but others have already known about it.
This is a bad thing.
If Empress Zheng is still here, she can announce it and get better protection.
But now that Empress Zheng has passed away, if she announces it, the child in her belly will only die faster.
This Concubine Xia is a smart person.
Wen Qingzhu walked to County Master Pingshu and said, "County Master, your wife is fine now. Can I see this maid?"
"Okay." County Lord Pingshu nodded immediately.
Looking back, Concubine Xia had already sat up, and her face looked much better.
Wen Qingzhu knelt down and carefully checked the maid's death condition.
There was a faint circle of black on his lips, and his body felt a little cold.
Wen Qingzhu frowned. Even if he was poisoned in advance, he shouldn't have cooled down so quickly.
Lifting the maid's wrist, Wen Qingzhu suddenly saw that her pulse was still beating.
"No!" Wen Qingzhu stood up in a hurry and immediately ordered Qinghu, "Can you trouble Miss Qinghu to get some ice cubes?"
"Yes, yes." Qinghu nodded and left with the consent of County Master Pingshu.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Qinghu came back with ice cubes.
Wen Qingzhu put the ice cube on the dead maid's neck. Sure enough, something moved under the skin and rushed towards the heart.
"This, what is this?" Qing Hu turned pale with fright.
"What's going on!?" A strange voice came from outside the curtain.
