The few wives were all happy, thinking that no matter how capable Wang Junhua was, he was still inferior to them, mistaking the perch for a Sturgeon. The Pan Xianfei laughed loudly. "I knew it, the palace only has three palaces, how can you have dozens, so you made a mistake, hahaha …"
Amidst the laughter of the imperial concubines, Wang Junhua quickly self-deprecated himself as he inwardly admired his husband's schemes. Because of this, not only did the other wives not hold any grudges against her, but because of this' joke ', they found this woman even more interesting.
On this day, just as Zhao Deji walked out of his study, he heard a report from the Young Eunuch, "Shangguan Family, the Grand Princess requests an audience."
Zhao Deji saw that it was early summer and felt very close to his little sister, hence he said, "We will have tea in the imperial garden with the Grand Princess."
"Yes."
A jade table was placed under a huge ancient locust tree. It was the season for the fragrant locust flowers, and the trees were cool and fragrant. On the table was a tea of eight colors, beautifully made.
Zhao Deji looked at his sister, who he had not seen this year, and sighed, "Tianwei, these are all pastries that you liked. When my mother came to visit you two, she had to personally make some pastries. Eat more. "
"Thank you, The elder brother of the nine, for remembering the past …" Tears welled in Tian Wei's eyes. She picked up a piece of walnut cake and said, "This was my favorite one in the past. I thought I would never be able to eat it again in this life …"
Zhao Deji saw that she was like how he was in the past. Every time he saw a snack, he would first reach out his hand for it.
After Tian Wei ate a piece of pastry, she slowly said, "When I fled back to the border, I saw Madame Yue …"
Zhao Deji asked: "How is Hua Rong now?"
She shook her head.
Zhao Deji's expression was a little dejected, "Sigh, Rong Er, I wonder if she can escape this calamity …"
Tian Wei looked at him closely, and when she saw that his concerned expression did not seem fake, she slowly said: "When Madame Yue sent out to the Jinguo, she did a great job in capturing people's' Salix ', and then went to the Fourth Prince Palace for a feast. I wonder if she mentioned this to The elder brother of the nine? At that banquet, there was still Qin Gui and his wife … "
Zhao Deji laughed, "Oh? Rong Er actually wrote before, saying that Qin Gui and his wife are the spies of the Fourth Prince, Rong Er is overthinking things … "
Tian Wei could no longer hold it in as she hurriedly said, "The elder brother of the nine might not know this, but Madame Yue is very loyal and is not worried at all."
"We also know that Rong Er is only thinking about the Land of the Heavens and the Earth. Sigh, I really hope that he will recover quickly. I still need him and his wife to serve the imperial government. Especially Yue Pengju … "
When she heard that the The elder brother of the nine still believed in Yue Pengju, and still wanted to put him on guard, a sense of hope arose in her heart. "When I was at the Residence of the fourth prince and saw Qin Gui and his wife coming and going in the Fourth Prince Palace, I had a secret relationship with the Fourth Prince and Qin Gui is his staff officer. The elder brother of the nine, you must be wary of these two.
"Tianwei, you just came back and are tired. Why are you worrying about national affairs? How can a mere Qin Gui escape from my grasp? "
"The elder brother of the nine, Qin Gui is definitely not a person who is seeking fame with some sort of integrity. Take last night's banquet for example. There were only three Sturgeon in the palace, yet Wang Junhua said that she had dozens of them in his house. If this isn't the magistrate's bribe, then what is it? "
Zhao Deji laughed: "Are you talking about this? Previously, when Lady Wu sent us the ginseng soup, he told us a joke. They said that Qin Gui's wife was vulgar and ignorant, mistakenly turning the cheap bass into a Sturgeon. This was equivalent to Li Gui saying that, not Qin Gui's act of embezzlement. He thought that it was Wang's disease showing off and making a joke out of himself … "Hahaha …"
Tianwei was speechless.
Seeing the The elder brother of the nine smiling so happily, she did not understand what was so funny. His back turned cold and he vaguely realized that the The elder brother of the nine today was no longer the The elder brother of the nine of before.
However, Qin Gui and his wife's methods were becoming more and more refined.
She said nothing more. Even the walnut cake on the table had lost its original delicacy. She only watched as the locust flowers were blown away by the wind and spread over the walnuts one by one.
When she returned to the princess' mansion, Wan Wan was still waiting.
Because Wan Wan had a violent temper, from time to time, she would say something about not liking Wang Junhua in front of the The elder brother of the nine, which was why she gradually stopped liking the The elder brother of the nine and did not summon her for a long time.
Seeing that Tian Wei had returned, Wan Wan anxiously asked, "How is it? Does The elder brother of the nine believe it? "
Tianwei silently shook her head. She drank a cup of tea before she told Wan Wan about the situation today.
Wan Wan was so angry that she almost jumped up: "I really don't know what kind of demon they are, they pissed me off."
After a moment of contemplation, she finally said in a low voice, "The Madame Yue is still the best of times. I just hope that they will never come back, never ever again!"
Twilight descended.
The spring evening smelled of flowers.
This was a quiet mountain stronghold filled with all sorts of strange plants and flowers. Most of the flowers here were red and yellow, but most of the flowers were green, blue and even black. Even though the King Qin was always very daring, he didn't dare to get too close. Ma Su said quietly: "Other than the flowers and plants, every witch doctor still has many strange insects in their homes. If you are not happy, you will die …"
King Qin carried his big blade, carefully pushing away the flowers and plants obstructing his way, afraid that he would get caught in it.
This Witch Doctor was very unknown, Ma Su had coincidentally heard of it. The Witch Doctor had been in closed-door training for a long time, and everyone had been inquiring about it for a long time before they finally had the chance to meet again.
Finally, he passed through the layers of "flower and grass barriers". King Qin stood in front of the black door, holding his big blade, he stood there for a long time. He didn't know what to feel in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, it was already two early summer months, from the sea to the Jinguo. He never thought that he would one day stand in front of the Witch Doctor's door.
Ma Su said in a low voice, "Great King, after we obtain the items, we can go back."
He did not speak. He held the back of the blade and knocked on the black door three times.
The door opened, and Ma Su could not help but take a step back. He saw a old man who was as skinny as a bird's claw. His face looked like it was covered by a layer of skin.
However, the King Qin did not mind and only bowed: "Please bestow the medicine on me, Mister."
The Witch Doctor's eyes darted around a few times. "You've come here eighteen times already."
Every time the two of them came here, they would not see the other party. However, upon hearing him speak, they were even more bewildered.
He stared at King Qin and couldn't help but feel cold.
"It's not hard to get the medicine, but you have to do something for me."
"What is it?"
"Hugh, ask more. I'll tell you when the time comes."
Ma Su felt that this place was too strange. He was just about to remind King Qin to be careful, but King Qin simply laughed, "Okay, no matter what, I will promise you anything. "No matter how strong I am, I just want my head."
The Witch Doctor nodded, and took out an item from his bosom. King Qin took it, looked at it for a while, kept it in his bosom, bowed his head, and turned to leave.
The wind blew from the forest. Although it was midsummer, he could not feel the heat. In front of the wooden house, about two to three kilometers away from the house, there was a small brook full of flowers. From time to time, there were ducks swimming in the brook.
This was the first time Yue Pengju had brought his wife out on such a 'long' trip, and it was also the first time she couldn't do it herself. To him, this was a heavenly good news.
There was a huge bear skin on the grass. Hua Rong sat on it, and around him, she put some fresh fruits she picked up, while Yue Pengju killed two wild ducks with an arrow and roasted them on fire. At this time, the wild ducks were already half cooked and were sizzling with fragrance.
Xiao Luwenlong had already changed into a Single Shirt and was running around in his Tiger Skin Boots to chase a butterfly. He held a net in his hands, which Yue Pengju had made up for him with tree bark. He came back with a bunch of butterflies, giggled, showed them to his mother, then pulled the net open and the butterflies flew off; he laughed and went to pick wild flowers.
At this time, Hua Rong's head was already filled with multicolored wild flowers. He leaned behind her and laughed as she embraced her neck, continuously shouting, "Mom, don't move, there are still a lot of flowers …"
Hua Rong sat there motionlessly, allowing his small hands to ruffle her hair. Hua Rong was wearing a moon-white shirt, which was exchanged for Yue Pengju's dozens of tiger and leopard skins when she went to town. After eating Lingzhi for almost a whole year, all of the family's money was spent on her, and the rest of the money was spent solely on Yue Pengju's hunting.
Hua Rong looked at the simple clothes on her body and the hairpin on Lin Xi's head, and was very satisfied with her current lifestyle. Thinking about it carefully, although injured, this year had been the most peaceful one of her life. Every day, she had nothing to worry about, relying on her husband.
Yue Pengju flipped the duck a few more times, and Lu Wenlong already couldn't hold it in anymore. He ran over and kissed the duck on his face without caring about the flower on his mother's head: "Abba, can you eat now?"
"It's done …"
These days, Yue Pengju liked to make many small things for him, to catch birds and bugs. This was because he was getting closer and closer to Yue Pengju, even more so than his mother.
Yue Pengju did not mind at all, and took down a roasted duck that was sizzling oil, wrapped it with a large lotus leaf, tore off a duck leg, and took out a wooden stick that he had prepared beforehand, putting it on and gave it to his son. Lu Wenlong giggled, but still ran over first: "Mom, this is for you …"
Hua Rong took the duck leg. Yue Pengju had already walked over and handed the other duck leg he was wearing to his son. He sat down next to his wife and ate the remaining food on the shelf.
The three ate with relish, Yue Pengju looked at his wife's blushing face, and was very happy. When Hua Rong saw her husband staring at her, she reached out to wipe the oil smoke on his face, and then smiled sweetly. "Pengju, I feel much better now."
His long illness had made him a doctor. He had accompanied his wife for a long time, and had almost become half a doctor. He held his wife's hand, looked at her complexion, and nodded. "She will definitely recover."
From afar, the voice of a guard could be heard. "Yue Xiang Gong …"
Yue Pengju stood up as the guard brought the emperor's other personal eunuch, Feng Yi. Feng Yi also recognized the two of them, they laughed from far away: "It's been a long time, Madame Yue, how is your condition?"
"I'll have to trouble Senior Officer Feng to travel. "It's been hard on you."
The three of them spoke briefly, and Yue Pengju accepted the order. Originally, it was the Emperor who sent them some Lingzhi and a letter himself.
Yue Pengju read it once and handed it over to his wife.
Hua Rong saw that it was Zhao Deji's personal handwriting. Apart from the usual greetings on his injury, it also mentioned that the puppet regime in Jinguo had already captured a few prefectures and counties under's guise, making it seem that they were about to cross the Huai River and launch a large-scale attack. Although the letter did not contain information for Yue Pengju to report to, the meaning behind his words was clear. When Hua Rong finished reading, she felt upset, and looked at Yue Pengju. The husband and wife looked at each other, and Yue Pengju then said to Feng Yi: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your subject's body has not recovered, and is temporarily unable to repay the grace of the imperial government.
