Chapter 21 Which piece of shit spread the rumor

Hearing this, everyone at the table looked at the man who had been silent from beginning to end.

Lu Jiuwan frowned slightly, retracted his gaze from the two dragonflies, turned back to his body and looked at Mrs. Lu.

"Don't call me Wanwan."

I'm not used to it, it's disgusting.

Baizhu lowered her head slightly, her attitude was humble, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and she reminded softly.

"Please, Madam Lu, call our Princess Jin as Princess. Although you are Madam Yu Shi, the Emperor still calls the Princess as Imperial Aunt. You'd better change your words. After all, there is a hierarchy. Even if you are the Princess's mother, you can't go over the Emperor."

Bai Zhu and Bai Tao, as maids specially trained by the Jin Palace, have been strictly trained.

The Princess is of noble status, and there are many people today.

Madam Lu was ignorant to call her Wan Wan, and did not maintain her status as Princess in front of everyone.

Of course, if the Princess didn't say anything, they wouldn't have to say much.

But the Princess was not happy.

Then they, as the Princess's personal maids, must remind her.

Mrs. Lu was stunned and stiff, her face was very ugly, and her chest seemed to be stuffed with cotton.

Is a maid qualified to teach me?

Moreover, Lu Jiuwan, this cheap girl, is the child of a cheap concubine, so how can her mother call her that?

She didn't call her a cheap person, she called her Wanwan, is there anything wrong with that?

She was so angry that her hands were shaking.

The people in the pavilion could hear a pin drop.

So the footsteps coming from far away sounded particularly clear.

Hear the sound before seeing the person.

"Lu Jiuwan, although you are a princess now, your mother raised you. Now that you are back home, I dare to call you by your nickname. Is this a mistake?"

A young woman stepped in, looking at Lu Jiuwan with a sharp and accurate gaze.

Lu Jiuwan raised her eyelids and glanced at her lightly.

The visitor was dressed in pink and had a lot of jewelry on her head.

At first glance, the girl looked good, but at a closer look, she was just average.

She loved to look at beautiful women, but this girl didn't look to her liking.

The girl who didn't like her kept talking.

"Since ancient times, filial piety has been the most important of the five relationships in life. A woman's marriage does not sever her relationship with her parents' family, and her origin cannot be changed."

"Even if you become a phoenix, how dare you forget who brought you this glory, and the kindness of your parents is greater than heaven."

"To speak disobediently and disrespect your parents is the greatest unfilial act. Does the princess intend to be an unfilial person..."

Isn't she just a bastard born by a concubine?

Even if she becomes a princess, she cannot change her lowly origin.

At home, Lu Jiuwan will always be inferior to herself because she is the eldest daughter.

Lu Jiuwan doesn't like to listen to her voice, it's harsh.

"This princess is here to admire the flowers, not to listen to you chirping and imitating the birds. Learn to speak human language before going out."

Silence~

The woman's face... is exactly the same as Mrs. Lu's.

They look very similar.

Others were dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Princess, is this her personality?

Mrs. Liang thought, rumors should not be taken seriously, which bastard spread it.

Mrs. Gu thought, the princess's personality is straightforward and sharp.

Mrs. Xiao thought, fortunately she didn't have time to provoke her, otherwise she would be embarrassed.

Baizhu and Baitao pursed their lips tightly, afraid that they would accidentally bend the corners of their lips.

I knew it, hum.

The princess dared to compete with the prince at home, let alone others.

What a person she is.

Oh, the princess said, forget it.

Hearing the princess' words, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

The princess not only made a mess in the palace, but also in the Lu family.

Then they were relieved.

"You!" The woman's face quickly turned red, feeling extremely embarrassed, and tried to save her dignity.

"Lu Jiuwan, you disobey your stepmother and insult your elder sister. You are simply a traitor! You really came from the mountains and lack education!"

Bai Tao's face sank and she took a half step forward, "How dare you! You dare to disrespect the princess. The prince specifically instructed that anyone who dares to disrespect the princess is disrespecting the prince. Dare to disrespect the prince, is the girl lawless?"

Prince, specifically instructed? The prince would also care about people like this?

Gu Yuqing looked at Lu Jiuwan after hearing this, but she didn't see the arrogant and complacent look on her face.

It seemed that the prince's favor for her was not worth mentioning in her eyes.

Or maybe she was used to it.

Liang Shuyan's pure and clear eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of irony.

It is rumored that the prince is extremely cold to the princess, and the title of the princess is just empty.

The prince will not fall in love with any woman easily.

It is even more impossible for him to love Lu Jiuwan.

Although women are not allowed to ask about the affairs of the court, they are not ignorant.

There are two factions in the court now.

On the surface, the emperor is the emperor, and all officials bow to him.

In fact, the prince's power is not small.

And Lu Yushi stood on the emperor's team.

So, how could the prince really like the daughter of a person who stood on the opposite side of him?

I just don't know why the prince still chose to marry her.

Of course, her father, the left prime minister, also stood on the emperor's team.

Liang Shuyan's eyes were a little lonely.

Xiao Zhanying's face was full of undisguised disgust. She was delusional and just wanted to raise her status outside.

Really think that becoming a princess can win the prince's favor, dreaming!

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong.

No, a woman from the mountains can become a princess, so why can't any of them be selected?

Several ladies watched the show from the side, and they were surprised.

As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. In ordinary families, no matter how much discord there is within, they will put on a show in front of outsiders.

The princess did not hide her attitude towards Mrs. Lu at all.

However, Mrs. Lu was even more shameless.

She still had the nerve to talk about the grace of raising her, wasn't she raised in the mountains all the time? She was not brought back until the Jin King's Princess Selection Ceremony. Where did the grace of raising her come from?

On the one hand, she didn't let the third concubine go out to communicate.

On the other hand, she separated the mother and daughter for so many years.

This Mrs. Lu is so vicious.

"Fangyao! Shut up, what is the status of the princess? What is your status? Even if you were her elder sister, what does it matter? Now she is the princess, why don't you apologize to the princess?" Mrs. Lu was like a patient with difficulty breathing, and she asked her daughter Lu to apologize with difficulty.

Mrs. Lu tried to maintain her state.

But the arc of the corner of her mouth could not be raised no matter how hard she tried.

It twitched, as if she had a facial disease.

Lu Fangyao looked at her mother in disbelief, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why should I apologize to this bastard? What about the princess? What about the prince..."

'Pa! '

Lu Jiuwan was shocked by the loud slap.

What a vicious Mrs. Lu.

If she didn't dare to hit her, she would scare her with the sound of a slap.

Fortunately, she was brave.

Lu Fangyao covered her face, her eyes full of disbelief and collapse.

"Mom, you hit me? You hit me for a jerk?" She pointed at Lu Jiuwan.

Lu Jiuwan's face darkened slightly, and before Bai Tao made a move, the tea in her hand flew up accurately and splashed on her mouth.

"Your mouth stinks, wash it."

Chapter 22 This kind of silence, inexplicably has a sense of madness

Lu Fangyao was startled.

The people watching the show also tensed up and shrank subconsciously.

After being nervous, she found that it had nothing to do with her, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was inexplicably refreshed.

Lu Fangyao was crazy.

How could it be, how could someone dare to treat her like this.

She is the daughter of the dignified Yu Shi family!

How dare this bastard insult her in front of so many people!

She was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she rushed up and wanted to bite like she had lost her mind.

In order to avoid being implicated, several ladies stood up and hurriedly moved away.

Bai Zhu Bai Tao stood in front of the princess.

Lu Jiuwan threw the cup carelessly on the table, and the cup went "whoosh~whoosh~whoosh whoosh whoosh", turned several times, and covered the table.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the crazy woman calmly.

He still didn't understand which mountain this monkey came from.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was about to faint. She stopped her daughter and shouted to the maid beside her, "Take the eldest lady down quickly."

At this moment, she wanted to beat her daughter who had grown up in her palm.

Lu Fangyao was taken down.

The pavilion was particularly quiet.

The ladies standing far away were embarrassed and slowly returned to their seats.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say to ease the atmosphere.

Mrs. Lu looked like she was about to cry.

She smiled weakly and reluctantly at the ladies.

She looked very aggrieved.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Fangyao is a straightforward person. She's not bad-tempered, but she can't stand provocative words."

Everyone: ...

Although it's refreshing to see other people's ugly deeds.

But the retribution is to pretend to sympathize.

It's like a rainstorm in summer, it comes and goes quickly.

It soaked people.

The people who were soaked looked up at the clear sky and were also a little confused.

Did Lu Fangyao come just now?

What did she come for?

Why did she leave so quickly?

So now, how should they show sympathy, and who should they sympathize with?

Sympathize with the princess.

After all, she has to face a miserable mother and daughter when she returns to her parents' home.

Madam Gu is worried that Madam Lu's words will anger the princess again, and the princess will kill her with a word.

Madam Lu will not be able to bear the stimulation and go crazy like her daughter, and then it will be out of control.

"Fang Yao is still a child, with a straightforward nature, which is rare."

Madam Xiao:?

Give it to you, do you want it?

Madam Liang covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Lu was touched and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Fang Yao is kind and sensible by nature..."

Mrs. Gu: "... The snacks prepared by Mrs. Lu are really good, everyone, try them? Yunqing, you like to eat sweets, try them."

Gu Yuqing pushed the plate and took the snacks with a smile, "Thank you, mother."

Snacks to shut up.

This incident was exposed.

This time, everyone was more sensible.

The conversations were much gentler, and the words of guns and sticks were all put away.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Jiuwan suddenly raised her eyelids and looked at Gu Yuqing.

As soon as she spoke, she attracted attention.

Gu Yuqing shuddered in her heart.

She couldn't explain this feeling. The princess was not ferocious, but rather quite quiet.

But it was this quietness that gave her a sense of madness.

She prepared herself mentally and said, "The princess's makeup is quite special. I've never seen it in Southern Jin."

Lu Jiuwan took a closer look at her makeup.

Slim eyebrows, fair face, red mouth.

Their decorations were not on their faces.

But on their heads and bodies.

Pearl hairpins, three thousand strands of black hair hanging behind her, two strands were picked and hung on her chest.

Earrings made of exquisite gemstones of various colors, a pearl chain on her chest, and quite a few on her hands...

She glanced at the makeup of others, and they were almost the same.

Bai Tao knew that the princess didn't like to talk, so she observed her expression.

She said proudly, "The princess did her own makeup, except for this one."

When everyone heard this, they boldly looked at the princess's makeup in detail.

Mrs. Gu sighed, "The princess has a good technique. The makeup is delicate and unique. The corners of the eyes seem to be darkened with rouge, which is deep and lively. The color of the rouge on the cheeks is also very special, calm and restrained. The color of the lipstick is also special. It is not like the red and pink colors we usually use. This color is more natural and simple."

Mrs. Liang nodded, "Mrs. Gu is right. I have never seen such dark corners of the eyes."

Mrs. Xiao did not understand these as well as Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Liang, and echoed: "The eyelids are also painted with color. Look, they are shining. When they blink, they look very beautiful."

Lu Jiuwan thought of Wukong, whose eyelids were also shining.

In terms of fashion, it has to be Monkey King.

Gu Yuqing: "It's common to put rouge on the eyelids, but I've never seen it painted with powder, which is new. Moreover, the rouge used in the princess's makeup is very wide, and we have never seen it before."

Liang Shuyan asked curiously, "When did Nanjin City come up with so many new things?"

Xiao Zhanying: "I just went to the rouge shop yesterday, and there was nothing."

Everyone cast curious eyes at the princess.

Lu Jiuwan couldn't help but say something incoherent, "I want to get rich."

Everyone:?

Bai Tao's chest slightly lifted, "It's a treasure that the prince found specially for the princess."

The prince also gave the princess an extremely clear mirror and a night-shining pearl that was brighter than the sun! There are also many rare treasures!

How is it possible!

People don't believe it.

In their eyes, Lu Jiuwan was invited back from the mountain to replace Lu Fangyao. The Lu family stood on the emperor's side, and they would definitely not be willing to marry their most beloved daughter to the King of Jin and sacrifice her in vain.

Lu Fangyao is one year older than the princess, so it would be more reasonable to let Lu Fangyao go to the Jin election.

Now that the prince is so concerned about the princess, could it be that Lu Yushi has changed his mind and secretly stood on the prince's team?

People are speculating in their hearts.

Mrs. Lu is disdainful in her heart.

Sure enough, just like her mother, she is just a seductive thing, doing seductive work.

It's just a chess piece, but I'm afraid the prince won't love her.

It seems that the foxy tricks worked.

"I didn't expect that the prince, who is so cold and serious, also has such a tender side. The princess is so happy." Gu Yu smiled and supported her.

When talking about things that women are interested in, it's like a dam has been released, and they are rushing to release it.

The sun is getting higher and the summer air is dense.

People outside have returned to the corridors, pavilions, and attics to escape the heat.

The Lu family has placed entertainment tools in each room of the attic for everyone to communicate and relieve boredom.

Qin, chess, books, paintings...

After a while, the sound of the qin came.

Cheerful laughter also came.

The princesses, ladies, and young ladies in the pavilion seemed to be isolated from them.

"Let's go and see what everyone is doing." Madam Xiao couldn't sit still.

Madam Lu didn't want to serve anymore. "That's right, I'll go see if the summer heat soup is ready."

As she spoke, everyone at the table stood up slowly.

Only Lu Jiuwan sat there.

Chapter 23 Damn the Holy Mother

Mrs. Gu asked curiously, "Princess, don't you want to go and take a look?"

"What's there to see?" Lu Jiuwan said lazily.

Others also stopped and looked at Lu Jiuwan.

Liang Shuyan said, "Sister Yuqing and sister Zhanying are excellent at playing the zither. At every banquet, everyone would ask them to play a song to cheer everyone up. I think it's indispensable today. Princess, why don't you go and listen together."

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Yuqing and Xiao Zhanying.

Xiao Zhanying smiled lightly, with her chin slightly raised.

Gu Yuqing said, "When it comes to playing the zither, naturally no one can compare to the princess."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then I remembered.

There was a zither skill level at the selection ceremony.

However, the imperial concubine selection ceremony was not like a normal competition where onlookers were allowed to watch. Only the examiners could assess each one-on-one.

However, many people had experienced the process and the content of the assessment.

Among them was Gu Yuqing.

Xiao Zhanying said hurriedly: "Then I need the princess and sisters to give me some advice. Recently, there is a song that I can't tune correctly no matter how I change it. I always feel that it is too high or too low."

Lu Jiuwan was originally too lazy to move, but he was somewhat curious about the ancient people's zither skills and songs.

"Let's go."

A group of people came out of the pavilion, colorful and full of flowers.

People who were talking and laughing at hand silk and embroidery on the corridor, people who were playing chess on the windowsill, and people who were playing guessing games in the pavilion stopped and looked over here.

Where Lu Jiuwan passed by, the women bowed their heads slightly to show respect.

The young people had their own places to go, and the ladies found a quiet place to chat.

Along the corridor, they came to a small pavilion by the water.

There were many women in gorgeous clothes sitting or standing around the pavilion, quietly listening to the people playing the piano inside, whispering from time to time.

Seeing the princess coming, everyone avoided her.

The people sitting in the pavilion also hurriedly stood up, and the woman playing the piano just sat down and stood up again. A group of people came forward and bowed slightly.

Invite people to sit in.

Lu Jiuwan sat down and gestured, "It's your turn? Go on."

The woman was slightly surprised, looked at the princess with a flattered look, bowed hurriedly, and continued to sit down and play.

More and more people gathered, but it was quiet.

The sound of the piano rang again.

Those who understand the piano listen carefully.

Those who don't understand just join in the fun.

Lu Jiuwan listened to the piano, not knowing whether it was the original owner's own physical memory or his own understanding of the piano art.

After listening to a few points, he found a lot of problems.

The ups and downs of the tune are not connected.

During the playing process, it was intermittent, and some places even missed a beat. The fast places were too fast, and the slow places were too slow.

Lu Jiuwan felt a tightness in her chest, as if she was being strangled.

Regret.

Recalling her timid and blushing face just now.

She could only sigh in her heart, damn the Virgin Mary.

She would withdraw the offer from the Virgin Mary Paris College right now.

The woman finally finished, and Lu Jiuwan took a deep breath, and her chest felt much smoother.

"I'm so embarrassed." The woman was excited and blushing.

She looked at Lu Jiuwan with her big watery eyes.

A picture of Teddy asking for a compliment popped up in Lu Jiuwan's impolite mind.

"...... Not bad."

The woman was surprised, "Ah?"

Gu Yuqing glanced at her and tasted some kindness from the princess's indifferent expression.

She raised her handkerchief to cover the smile on her lips.

Liang Shuyan:......

Xiao Zhanying:?

Everyone:! ? ? ! ? ! ~? ......? ! ! ? ? ?

"Thank you, thank you for the compliment, princess." The woman looked at the princess and her eyes sparkled a little, filled with excitement and gratitude.

The princess is really a very good person.

Others said that she didn't play well, so let her play a song in front of the crowd today, and everyone will give guidance together.

I didn't expect the princess to compliment her!

The princess is just kinder than others.

Although... maybe the princess knows less about the zither than I do?

But the princess is really pretty.

Everyone says that Sister Gu Yuqing is pretty, but the princess's beauty is unique and different.

Elegant and noble, pure and elegant, she is the most approachable.

She looked straight at Lu Jiuwan, slightly absent-minded.

Someone next to her pulled her back, and she came back to her senses and stood aside.

The scene was quiet for a while, who would come first?

Lu Jiuwan didn't say anything either, she found that her luck was a bit bad today.

Seeing that no one was talking, Liang Shuyan said, "Sister Yuqing, I haven't heard you play the piano for a long time. Are the sisters going to enjoy it today?"

Gu Yuqing smiled and said, "Didn't sister Zhanying just say that there is a song that she wants the princess to teach her? Sister Zhanying, please go first."

Lu Jiuwan leaned back on the chair and looked around Baizhu.

Tried to find something to plug her ears.

But it's summer, no one carries cotton with them.

Baizhu: What's wrong with the princess?

Why does the princess look a little panicked?

Xiao Zhanying sat down and started playing before she plugged her ears.

The piano sounded pleasant, fortunately, it was not shocking.

Lu Jiuwan reached out and grabbed a few melon seeds from the plate, crackling... crackling... crackling... crackling...

The sound of cracking the melon seeds was not loud, but the person playing the piano was not concentrating.

Unintentionally, his eyes swept over the princess, and his mind was in a mess, and his hands began to lose rhythm.

Lu Jiuwan looked at her.

Xiao Zhanying quickly collected her thoughts and continued to play angrily.

The song ended.

Xiao Zhanying was so angry that she almost died.

This bumpkin who came back from the mountains, eats, eats, and only knows how to eat.

He has no respect for others at all.

A good song was ruined by her.

Some people agreed and some were silent.

Liang Shuyan: "Sister Zhanying said before that this piece of music always starts badly. Princess, can you tell what's wrong?"

Everyone looked at Lu Jiuwan.

Lu Jiuwan had just finished eating the melon seeds in his hand, threw away the shells, and said casually.

"The start of the tune is fine, but if you are not concentrating and your mind is not calm, the piano sound will not have artistic conception."

Gu Yuqing hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, really afraid of laughing out loud, the princess is really funny.

Some people around were trying not to laugh, and some were speechless.

Xiao Zhanying was angry and looked ugly.

She even blamed him, saying that she was not concentrating, why are you clicking?

"Since the princess has said so, please give us a demonstration so that we can learn what artistic conception is."

We want to see what you have learned in the mountains in one day.

Everyone looked at the princess expectantly.

Lu Jiuwan looked at Gu Yuqing quietly.

Gu Yuqing didn't understand why, and after careful thought, he said, "Why don't I show my ugliness first, and then everyone can listen to the princess's piano music?"

"How can you say it's a show of ugliness? Everyone knows that sister Yuqing is a great piano player. We haven't listened to her for a long time, let us be influenced by her."

"Yuqing, you are too modest. I'm afraid that few people can compare with your piano skills."

The women around seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about Gu Yuqing.

It also seemed that she wanted to emphasize Gu Yuqing's ability in front of Lu Jiuwan, let her show it, and let Lu Jiuwan see what "good" means.

Compare it with her "not bad".

Gu Yuqing didn't pretend anymore, sat down, and adjusted her state.

The surroundings were quiet, waiting for the amazing moment.

Chapter 24 Come over here, I'll tell you a story

Gu Yuqin stood up gracefully, and the beautiful sound of the piano came from her fingertips.

The music was melodious and beautiful, like a dreamlike picture scroll unfolding before our eyes, with wine cups, flowing water, lush forests and bamboos...

The melody was melodious and implicit.

The transitions in the details were smooth and reassuring.

Lu Jiuwan felt that his luck was good again this time.

He listened to the music in a happy mood.

The eyes around him were restrained and secretly peeking at the princess's face.

It seemed that seeing a trace of surprise on the princess's face would make them happy and proud.

As expected, the princess's face was very calm, with a little bit of concentration in her calmness.

Xiao Zhanying carefully retracted her contemptuous gaze.

Although it is said that the selection of the princess by the King of Jin was a process of many selections, it was still based on the prince's happiness.

Who knows how much water there is in this.

Who knows whether Lu Jiuwan has real ability or not.

Maybe she just has a pretty face.

If the selection is based on real ability, Gu Yuqing is more suitable to be the princess than her.

"I'm sorry." Gu Yuqing stood up with a smile, "This is a song I like recently. I haven't practiced it many times, so I don't play it very well."

"You play this song so well after only practicing it a few times, sister Yuqing, you are really amazing." Xiao Zhanying emphasized her tone and glanced at Lu Jiuwan.

"That's right, Yuqing, you are too modest."

"There are probably few people in Nanjin City who can compare to Yuqing."

Liang Shuyan reminded: "I heard from Sister Yuqing that the princess's piano skills are unique in Nanjin. The best piano sound we have ever heard is Sister Yuqing's, and we have never seen better. Can the princess satisfy everyone and broaden their horizons?"

Gu Yuqing: ...

She actually didn't say that. Her previous meaning was just because she didn't want to be superior in front of the princess.

Now Liang Shuyan and Xiao Zhanying took turns to roast her on the fire.

Gu Yuqing was speechless and had a hard time saving herself. "The princess is of noble status, and only the prince can hear her piano music. How can she show it in front of everyone? Have you forgotten your status?"

Lu Jiuwan remembered that she couldn't embarrass the stingy man at home.

So she had to play the piano today.

Gu Yuqing was obviously very strong, and she might not be able to beat him just based on piano skills.

But...

She sat up straight and casually hooked her fingers.

"Come on, sit closer."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they tried to move forward.

Everyone didn't understand what the princess was going to do, and Bai Zhu and Bai Tao didn't understand either.

Lu Jiuwan poured herself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"In a very far place, there is a country called the Country of Women..."

Before everyone was ready, Lu Jiuwan had already put down his cup and started telling a story.

As soon as he spoke, everyone was confused.

But they immediately perked up.

Story?

Love it!

"One day, the peace here was broken. Four handsome men riding white horses and holding long swords came to the Country of Women."

Everyone's eyes brightened and they moved closer unconsciously.

Then, what happened next?

"The soldiers quickly reported the news to His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King was very shocked. There had been no men in their Country of Women for hundreds of years."

"Ah? How is this possible?" Someone exclaimed.

Lu Jiuwan: "There is a river called Zimu River in the Nü'er Kingdom. Women only need to drink the water of Zimu River to reproduce the next generation. They can do everything. All the work is done by women, such as farming, trading, building houses, managing the country, and spreading education... Men only exist in legends..."

"Can women do so many things?"

"How can there be no men? This is impossible."

"Can you get pregnant and have children by drinking water? Can't you give birth to a boy? If you give birth to a boy, won't it be a man?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but raise a series of questions.

Lu Jiuwan did not stop to answer their doubts and continued.

"They were soon invited to the palace to meet Her Majesty the Queen."

Everyone's eyes brightened again.

Lu Jiuwan: "They are all tall, handsome, heroic, and suave, and each has a different personality.

The man in white is named Chen Xuan, who has a jade-like appearance, elegant manners, and a kind heart;

The man in yellow is named Sun Wu, who has a majestic appearance, is naturally intelligent, and has strong martial arts;

The man in black is named Zhu Peng, who is elegant, honest, and simple, and is wise but appears foolish;

The man in purple is named Sha Juan, who has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, is hardworking, kind, and introverted. Steady..."

"How can four men be enough?"

"Only four?"

"Yeah, do you have to share one man among many women? Oh, just like us now."

"Wow, is he as handsome and tall as the prince?"

"Hey, the princess is here."

"All four sound good, who do you choose?"

"I, hey, listen to the end first."

Lu Jiuwan: "...the four people received a warm welcome from the country of women..."

This talk not only attracted all the young women.

Even the ladies slowly approached and listened with their ears tilted.

This...the queen and the knight...are so novel.

In the end, they simply sat not too far away and not too close.

The young women were in the inner circle, and they were in the outer circle.

...

Mrs. Lu led a group of servants, carrying a bowl of summer-cooling soup, to the lotus pond.

But no sound was heard.

How could this happen?

In her imagination, the courtyard should be bustling at this time.

But it was so quiet, so strangely quiet.

Mrs. Lu panicked immediately.

Her mind was full of reflections. Where did she go wrong? Where did she fail to take good care of others? Or was today's banquet just a dream?

"Where are the people? Why is there no one?"

The servants behind her were as confused as she was.

Only the maid who had been on duty here said, "Madam, everyone has gone to the next yard."

Madam Lu still felt strange. How could everyone gather together?

Could something have happened?

She raised her feet and hurried away.

...

Lu Jiuwan felt that she had a great talent in storytelling and also in making up stories.

From the beginning to the end, there was no hesitation, and she spoke in a coherent and extremely fluent manner.

The people at the scene were shocked, laughed continuously, and were very excited. In the end, they were sad and regretful, and tears fell on the scene.

She portrayed the four masters and apprentices as an ancient male group with extraordinary bearing, handsomeness, high martial arts, chivalrous courage, loyalty, and patriotism.

For the development of the East Land, the four must go to the West to obtain the true scriptures.

They encountered countless difficulties and obstacles along the way and arrived at the Nv'er Kingdom.

If you want to pass through the Nv'er Kingdom, you must get a pass, otherwise you can't leave the country.

I thought I would leave after getting the pass, but I didn't expect to encounter chaos in the Nv'er Kingdom.

The four relied on their intelligence and superb martial arts to save the beauty and show their charm.

A short time together, a throbbing heart.

The king of the Nv'er Kingdom was concerned about Chen Xuan and proposed to keep him in the Nv'er Kingdom as king and she as queen.

She fell deeply in love with the man who fought bravely for her and saved her from danger.

And Chen Xuan, facing the dignified, elegant, tender, sincere and enthusiastic King, had already been moved unconsciously.

But.

He still had the responsibility of his country on his shoulders.

If he chose to stay, he could become the king of a country, own a country, and have supreme power.

But this was a betrayal of the country. As a man, as the most trusted general of the country, he couldn't do it.

The queen couldn't abandon the country and leave with him.

But this time, the future was uncertain, and he was destined to miss his love.

The two chose the former between the responsibility of the country and love.

Painful separation, heartache, and reluctance.

The road ahead is uncertain, and the future is unpredictable.

From then on, the queen guarded her country alone, and a portrait of Chen Xuan hung in her room, slowly fading.

Chen Xuan took his three brothers and continued his journey to Manman.

Chapter 25 Brother Yudi

...

After Lu Jiuwan finished telling the story, everyone around him was still and silent.

The sobbing was suppressed and affected everyone.

Everyone just let go.

"Couldn't Chen Xuan marry the queen first and then go to seek the scriptures? At least leaving a child for the queen is also a hope and a wish. Foolish Chen Xuan."

"Chen Xuan keeps calling people Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Queen, hasn't he even asked her name, wuwu, Chen Xuan is really annoying."

"For the sake of his country, Chen Xuan gave up the opportunity to be the head of a country, and gave up the opportunity to love and stay with his beloved queen, Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, wuwu..."

"Chen Xuan and the queen are so miserable, I wonder what happened to them later."

The ladies in the outer circle also had tears in their eyes.

Lu Jiuwan's toes were quietly digging the ground.

Everyone had long forgotten about asking her to play the piano.

Even Baizhu and Baitao had tears in their eyes.

Lu Jiuwan couldn't bear to continue listening to their childish and innocent exchanges.

She stood up and walked to the piano.

When Mrs. Lu arrived, she saw the small pavilion by the water was full of colorful flowers, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

It was like running into a butterfly valley, with colorful butterflies in front of her.

These butterflies crowded together, some talking and some crying, very excited.

Just as she was about to go forward to investigate, she saw Lu Jiuwan standing up.

"Actually..."

"When Chen Xuan was in the Kingdom of Daughters, the queen played a song for him. He remembered this song all his life. It's called "Daughter's Love." "

Lu Jiuwan continued to apply medicine to add chips for herself.

Sure enough, the discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their heads to look at her.

"Do you want to listen?" Lu Jiuwan was very satisfied, but her tone was light.

"Yes." Everyone answered firmly and excitedly.

Lu Jiuwan gently curled the corners of her lips, slowly walked to the piano table and sat down.

A small pavilion by the water.

The white figure was graceful.

A half ray of sunlight hit her shoulder, a little dazzling.

Behind her, the remaining half ray of sunlight flashed colorful light on the flowing water.

It was like a dream, making everyone present a little dazed.

Lu Jiuwan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar piano on the piano table in front of her, and the past scene reappeared under her eyes.

For a moment, I thought I had traveled back to the past.

Secretly making some mental preparations, he gently raised a pair of jade hands. Twist lightly and slowly, turn the shaft to move... The beautiful melody draws everyone into the world it creates. They also entered a wonderful world obediently. They saw with their own eyes the scene where the Queen and Chen Xuan interacted and fell in love, saw them cuddling together, and saw them helplessly parting... Lu Jiuwan's hand movements were easy and familiar. Before his eyes, which were out of focus and blurred, he could see the queen whispering in Tang Monk's ear, "Brother Tang, why don't you come and take possession of Feng Chengluan?" I have my own thoughts in my mind, and I follow the plot on my own. When the song was finished, Lu Jiuwan's face turned slightly red. She is a dog.

How come your mind is full of indecent things, in broad daylight, with so many people.

Everyone was immersed in the sad, helpless and confused piano music.

A sigh.

"Thoughts are long, feelings are long, I wish all lovers in the world can finally get married."

Only Gu Yuqing listened, her face slightly hot.

Why did she hear some special charming and lingering meanings from it?

Is there something wrong with the song or the person who played it?

"Excuse me, Princess, is this song really played by Her Majesty the Queen for Chen Xuan?" Seeing that the princess was not as close to her family as the legend said, everyone became bolder and dared to talk to her on their own initiative.

Lu Jiuwan nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

"Then I must learn it!" she said firmly.

"I want to learn it too."

"Me too."

The chattering was all about people who were determined to learn the song.

The ladies in the outer circle shook their heads, the children were too unrestrained.

"Has anyone memorized the song?" Suddenly someone said the key point.

She didn't dare to ask the princess for it, and besides, the princess couldn't bring the music score with her when she went out.

Another person rolled his eyes and answered, "Sister Yuqing must have memorized it, it would be right to ask Sister Yuqing."

She didn't dare to ask the princess either.

No one continued to talk about the piano, no one cared.

Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Jiuwan with annoyance, saying something about all sorts of things, which really brought shame to the Lu family.

She waved to the people behind her and asked the servants to bring the summer-cooling soup over.

Everyone listened to the music, the story, and drank the summer-cooling soup, and they gathered together to chat contentedly.

"I only knew that the princess was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't expect that she was also so good at telling stories. She is much more interesting than the storytellers in the teahouse, and she can tell the whole story in one go."

"Yes, that's why she was chosen as the princess."

"This is the best story I have ever heard. I can tell it to my other sisters when I go back. Ah, I want to go back now."

Mrs. Lu:...

"Me too, me too. Unfortunately, although I know it in my heart, I can't say it with this mouth, and it doesn't sound good when I say it out, alas~"

"It's okay, I'll tell you a secret. There are people here who can write stories. You just need to wait a few days and go to Xueyuezhai to buy today's storybook."

"Ah?"

"..."

Lu Jiuwan sat leisurely and sipped tea.

There was a little pride in his heart.

Look, a man.

This princess saved your face outside.

You're welcome.

...

After lunch.

Everyone said goodbye to Madam Lu.

The young women were even impatient, and they pestered Gu Yuqing one by one.

Lu Jiuwan stayed here for a whole morning, and didn't see a spy come to her to ask for things.

I guess spies are used to the dark and windy night.

She raised her feet and was about to go out.

She was stopped by a person dressed as a maid.

"Princess, the third aunt asked you to come over, saying that she hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you."

The maid spoke in a very calm state.

She didn't look like a maid who followed the aunt.

After turning a corner and passing through the hall, she came to the courtyard of her mother in this body. She lived in a remote place, probably because it was inconvenient for Lu Yushi to come.

She stepped onto the steps and entered the house.

She suddenly saw a beautiful woman in purple sitting in front of the hall, with a serious expression, and a pair of beautiful eyes chasing Lu Jiuwan who walked in.

Lu Jiuwan did not call anyone, but went to the side and sat down, "What's the matter?"

Seeing her do this, the third aunt's face was not good, and she glared at her.

"You still have the nerve to ask, tell me what good things you did today?"

Lu Jiuwan replied calmly: "Tell me, what good things did this princess do?"

The third concubine was angry and slapped the tea table, her bracelet jingled, "You!"

"I shouldn't have asked you to marry the King of Jin, what's the point! I shouldn't have asked you to be sent away since you were young, you should have stayed with me, at least you know how to write the word "filial piety"."

"Today, you went home and only cared about having fun, and completely forgot about me as your mother. Jiuwan, you disappoint me."

Lu Jiuwan searched for the memories in this body.

Chapter 26 Go ask Di Jiang first if he agrees

...

This third aunt of hers is a love-minded person, and she is devoted to Lu Yushi.

She was loved for two years and gave birth to her, but was then neglected.

Later, when the original body was just four years old, he didn't care about her life or death, and sent his own daughter out as a pawn, just to win a little sympathy from that heartless man.

Not to mention that she now occupies this body, even the original body has no feelings for this woman.

The reason why the original body chose to marry King Jin obediently was not only because she was controlled and accustomed to obeying orders.

The biggest reason was because she was tired of the dark days and wanted to live a few days in the sun.

Even if the road ahead was dangerous and life and death were unpredictable.

I just want to feel the feeling of living openly.

It's just a mother-daughter relationship without any emotional basis. I don't know where this woman got the confidence to scold her.

Really cruel and selfish.

Seeing that Lu Jiuwan didn't respond to her, the third aunt's eyes were even more resentful.

It was because of giving birth that her body relaxed and she lost the love of Yu Shi.

If I had known it was a girl, I shouldn't have given birth to her.

"Also, what happened to you today? How did you talk to the lady in front of so many people?"

"She is your stepmother. Do you know that if you offend her, I will suffer."

"Most importantly, how dare you offend the eldest lady? She is your stepmother, and you actually splashed water on her. Aren't you afraid of your father's blame? I am worried that I will be blamed."

"Don't you use your brain at all when you do things? It's simply stupid!"

Lu Jiuwan was not moved at all.

The third lady was furious again when she saw it.

The maid next to her hurriedly stroked her back to help her breathe.

Lu Jiuwan yawned slightly.

Bai Tao fanned her.

The wind fanned her, and she felt sleepy, really sleepy.

It was just like the class teacher chanting scriptures when she was in school.

Seeing that it was useless to say anything, the third concubine felt ashamed in front of the servants because she got no response.

Anyway, she was now a princess, and he couldn't really do anything to her.

So he gave up and sat aside with an ugly face.

Lu Jiuwan stood up, "Are you done? I'm going back after that."

The third concubine hurriedly stood up.

"Your father will be here soon, wait."

When she said this, her face was full of expectation.

She touched her ears, wondering if she should change to another pair of earrings that had just been tangled, and wanted to look in the mirror again, fearing that there was something wrong.

"Don't leave without a care. Your father has told me to come soon. You wait here."

She left the hall and went to the bedroom to recheck her makeup.

She had a slender waist, light steps, and a graceful figure.

She was beautiful, very beautiful.

She was a love-minded person, but she couldn't get the love of men.

Thinking about it, women in ancient times were also quite miserable.

Maybe the third aunt was not a pure love-minded person, but she had no choice but to rely on men.

As for not feeling sorry for her daughter, it should be because she was born selfish and immoral.

When she left, Lu Jiuwan was left waiting in the front hall.

Lu Jiuwan didn't want anyone to climb over the wall and come into the house to find her in the middle of the night.

She waited here patiently.

She held her chin and squinted her eyes.

After the third concubine finished dressing up, she sat dignified, waiting for a man to come.

After a long while, Lu Zuoshi finally arrived.

Baizhu reminded her, "Princess, Lu Zuoshi is here."

Lu Jiuwan still held her chin without moving, half-opened her eyelids, and saw the person coming.

Lu Changan, eight feet tall, handsome, gave people the feeling of a young man from an aristocratic family at an old age.

No wonder the third concubine is a love-minded person.

It's strange.

Miss Lu didn't inherit it.

No, it can only be said that Mrs. Lu has strong genes.

When Lu Zuoshi arrived, the third concubine's attitude changed drastically, and she instantly became a teenage girl who was still in love.

"Lu Lang, you are here~" She came forward with a charming smile and graceful manner.

Lu Jiuwan put down her hand and shuddered slightly when she saw the Third Aunt's behavior.

In terms of appearance, she and the Third Aunt are still somewhat similar.

In terms of appearance and figure, they are even more similar.

Seeing her like this, it was as if he saw himself like this.

If she treated Dijiang like this...

Dilang?

Eh~yue

Lu Changan walked in and looked at Lu Jiuwan with a pair of serious eyes.

He tried to suppress her with his eyes right from the start.

But seeing that she was sitting there without moving, Lu Changan frowned.

Compared with Lu Yushuang's sensible and respectful, the two are completely different.

He walked to the main seat, sat down with a big sword and a golden horse, and spoke sternly.

"I heard that you not only bumped into your mother at the banquet today, but also splashed tea on your elder sister?"

The third aunt poured tea for him, very considerate and gentle.

Lu Jiuwan's eyebrows were indifferent.

Lu Yushi taught: "Although you are a princess now, don't forget that your body and skin are from your parents. We are always the people you need to respect. Have you learned all the etiquette and moral education in vain?"

After saying this, he looked at her sternly.

He tried to use a pair of eyes that could kill his concubine to make his daughter, a killer, bow her head and admit her mistakes.

Dreaming?

Lu Jiuwan straightened her back lazily, stood up and was about to go out.

"It seems that Lord Yu Shi is here to call for punishment. If there is nothing else, this princess will leave first."

Lu Yu Shi's heart was choked, and he was furious, and slapped the tea table with one hand.

"Stop! How disgraceful! Lu Jiuwan, don't forget how you got your status as a princess. Even if you become a princess, it was given to you by me. It's easy to send you up, and it's even easier to pull you down."

The third concubine was frightened.

Lu Jiuwan looked at his pretentious look and laughed secretly. He wanted to tame her with his status as an elder?

She looked straight at him and said sarcastically, "Then go ask Dijiang if he agrees."

"You!" Lu Yushi pointed at her and was speechless.

"Dijiang, do you expect him to protect you? I think you have forgotten who you are! If you don't want the antidote for next month, you leave. I want to see how capable you are."

Lu Jiuwan was too lazy to talk to him and asked lazily, "What do you want to talk to me about? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

Lu Changan looked at the two maids following her and waved his hand, "You go out and wait first."

The two did not move and glanced at Lu Jiuwan.

Lu Jiuwan said indifferently, "Well, go."

"Yes, Princess." The two retreated respectfully.

"You go back to the room too. I'll see you later." He said to the third aunt.

The third aunt also left with a shy look, and only glanced at Lu Jiuwan before leaving.

She didn't raise this daughter by her side, so she had no feelings for her.

She really didn't understand what it felt like to worry about the flesh that fell from her body.

Even if she was raised by her side, a daughter who was married off was like water spilled out.

Now she was an outsider.

She walked away briskly.

Lu Changan then took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Lu Jiuwan, "I heard that you are suddenly favored now and often eat with the prince? Add a little of this to his food every day."

Lu Jiuwan looked at the bottle in his hand with a somewhat interesting look.

Seeing that she didn't take it, Lu Yushi pushed it forward again, "Don't you dare? Take it, don't forget your mission. If you can do this well, this month's mission will be completed."

Lu Jiuwan then stretched out two fingers, picked up the small bottle, turned around and walked out.

Lu Yushi looked at Lu Jiuwan's reaction and felt that she had changed, frowning.

Looking at her back, he reminded, "Don't forget, you are the emperor's person, a killer of the Shadowless Sect, and you married Dijiang to carry out the mission."

"As long as you get the job done, the emperor will detoxify you, and you won't have to suffer from the Heart-Eating Dragon anymore."

I'm afraid she will change her mind and stand on the side of King Jin.

It was about success or failure, life or death, so no one dared to be careless.

Lu Jiuwan didn't even turn his head, and his figure gradually faded out of his sight.

Wuyingmen.

A killer organization.

Di Xuanyi was the third leader of this organization.

His mother, the current Queen Mother Wen, was a member of the killer organization.

At that time, the organization was not big, and she entered the palace as a daughter of an outsider, secretly wanting to gain power in the palace.

Queen Mother Wen didn't want to be controlled for the sake of her children, so she tried her best to eliminate dissidents, successfully took over the organization, and began to cultivate her own power.

And he reformed the training methods on a large scale, adopted harsh and cruel means to train killers, and used the Heart-Eating Dragon to control everyone.

Later, Empress Dowager Wen abdicated her power, and each family of the ministers behind the scenes had to hand over a child to enter her killer camp, under the pretext of educating and training outstanding children by the royal family.

It was because he was willing to give up that he could reach his current position.

After Emperor Xuanyi ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Wen handed the organization over to him for management.

Today's Wuyingmen is completely different from before, because it is in the hands of the emperor.

Chapter 27 The Princess Made a Lot of People Cry

Leaving the Third Aunt's Courtyard.

Lu Jiuwan touched his sleeves and felt a little cheated.

Where did the black-clothed man go? Why didn't he come to get the good things your ancestors prepared for you?

Not only did he not send the things away, but he brought back a bottle of unknown things.

"The Yushi Mansion relies on itself as the Princess's family, but doesn't even know the etiquette. They know to send, but they don't know how to send." Bai Tao complained as she walked.

The dignified Princess of Jin was treated so lightly.

What family?

Humph!

The Jin Palace is still good. Fortunately, the prince is very good to the Princess.

Otherwise, the Princess must be very sad.

Lu Jiuwan thought it was better this way, without any burden.

If the original body had a mother who was nice to the original body, it would be no fun.

And she had to protect her mother, which was so troublesome.

Now it was just what she wanted.

"Meet the princess, please come this way." Another maid blocked the way.

Baizhu and Baitao looked at each other and tacitly blocked the princess at the same time.

"How dare you! Who are you? Why do you ask our princess to go there again and again? Who is so noble that she wants to see our princess and ask her to deliver a letter to Princess Jin."

First, they went to the courtyard of the third concubine. This time, they won't go to the courtyard of someone else.

What are they going to? The princess obviously has no interest.

Lu Jiuwan guessed that it must be the man in black this time.

It is normal for the man in black to appear in the Lu family, after all, they are all from the same den.

"Lead the way."

Baizhu Baitao had nothing to say, and took a step back expressionlessly, ready to follow behind.

"You two stay here and wait for me, I will be back soon."

After Lu Jiuwan finished her instructions, she followed the maid and left.

Baizhu Baitao was left staring angrily, the princess was really too soft-hearted.

Under the guidance of the maid, Lu Jiuwan went to an empty yard.

Before entering the house, she saw a man inside.

He looked handsome and murderous. You could tell at first glance that he was not a good person. You could tell at first glance that he was a top-level murderer.

He looked at her and sized her up and down.

There was no emotion in his eyes. He just said calmly, "Where are the things?"

Lu Jiuwan was not curious about him. Based on her memory, she knew that he was a member of the Shadowless Sect. She decisively took out the things in her sleeves.

Throwing them to him.

The man frowned and took them. He was somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude.

He opened the things Lu Jiuwan gave him, glanced at them casually, and hid the things in his arms.

Then he threw her a medicine bottle.

"Next time, you need to exchange it with something more valuable."

After saying that, he left and quickly disappeared from Lu Jiuwan's sight.

Lu Jiuwan opened the bottle and poured it into his palm. It was a pill.

Then he put the pill back.

Then he started to go back to the original road.

When he returned to the palace, Dijiang was not there.

Just in time.

Lu Jiuwan locked herself in the room and did not allow anyone to disturb her.

She wanted to study the antidote carefully.

...

"During the banquet, the young ladies of each family said they wanted to hear the princess play the piano."

Dijiang: "Which song did she play?"

"The princess did not play at first, but told everyone a story first." The servant who looked like a maid bowed his head and answered honestly.

Dijiang was a little curious. His princess could tell stories?

"Yes."

The maid, with her strong memory, began to repeat the princess' story word for word.

Even though she didn't look up, the more she talked, the colder the air around her felt.

Mu Bai and Yuan Cang looked at their prince, and saw that his face was as calm as usual.

But everyone could see the thin layer of depression around him.

Why was the prince angry?

Although this story was absurd, it was still nice and fresh.

Is there something wrong with this story?

Or did the princess never tell this story to the prince?

I didn't expect that the princess could tell stories and make people cry. She is quite talented.

"Go on."

The maid was startled and continued.

"The princess' story made most of the ladies present cry."

"What are they crying for?" Di Jiang was puzzled.

Yuan Cang was also puzzled.

Maid: ...

Mu Bai suppressed his laughter and continued, "My Lord, they are all women, sentimental, and usually feel very emotional when they hear such a sad story."

"They are crying, probably because they are moved by the love story of the queen and Chen Xuan, and because they can't be together, the ladies feel very pitiful."

The maid glanced at Mu Bai secretly. Lord Mu Bai is very understanding.

Dijiang: "...It's just a story."

Yuan Cang: What's so good about this? Isn't the righteousness of the country more important than the love between a son and a daughter?

Dijiang: "Go on."

Maid: "The princess said that when Chen Xuan was in the Kingdom of Daughters, the queen played a song for him. He remembered this song for his whole life. It's called "Daughter's Love."

Mu Bai immediately said: "Come on, bring the zither."

The maid's heart skipped a beat and she was ready to kneel down immediately.

Dijiang waved his hand, "No need."

Mu Bai stepped back.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly angry at Lord Mu Bai who knew nothing.

She had a good memory and was flexible.

But she was not a rich lady and had never learned to play the zither.

"The princess sang "Daughter's Love", and I cried again."

Di Jiang couldn't help but raise his lips slightly.

Playing smart.

In order to win, first tell a story to bring people into the mood, and then use the sound of the piano to exaggerate.

At this time, who can easily tell whether the piano skills are better or the story is better.

However, in the end, both should be good.

She is timid and afraid of losing.

"After the banquet, the princess was invited to the courtyard of the third concubine of the Lu family. Half an incense stick of time later, Lu Yushi came. Not long after, the princess came out of the courtyard."

"When she was about to leave Yushi's house, she was invited to leave again. She met a man in an empty courtyard. The princess exchanged something with the man. The princess came out soon and returned to the palace."

After listening, Dijiang waved his hand lightly, "Go down."

The originally happy face slowly calmed down.

Things were exchanged.

Dijiang held a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and there was a strange discomfort in his heart.

Disappointment, or loss.

It seems that he was worried in vain, and threw the bottle into his sleeve.

...

Good news spreads a thousand miles.

In one afternoon, the story of the Queen and Chen Xuan spread to all the concubines in Nanjin City.

"Why does it feel so lively today?" People walking on the road asked in confusion.

"Today, the ladies of various families are playing the piano. Listen."

"Why do they all sound like they are playing the same song?"

"I heard that the Yushi Mansion held a lotus viewing banquet today. The Princess of Jin first told a very beautiful story, and then played a fairy-like song..."

"I only heard that the Princess of Jin was an unknown concubine, but I didn't expect..."

So.

Princess Jin became famous in one battle: Princess Jin's zither skills were unparalleled in the world; Princess Jin's stories were more beautiful than those of storytellers; Princess Jin was extremely beautiful, like a fairy from heaven; Princess Jin was kind and approachable.

In short, Princess Jin became famous in Southern Jin City in just one afternoon.

Chapter 28 Small Yellow Orchid

In the evening.

Lu Jiuwan came out of the room.

It is not so fast to develop the antidote, and it takes time to analyze the ingredients inside.

Mainly, this is Chinese medicine.

It is very different from Western medicine.

However, there is still a full month before the next one-month deadline.

Then there is no problem at all, there is enough time.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Hearing the voice, Lu Jiuwan raised his eyes.

Seeing a group of people striding towards him, Dijiang was tall and handsome, with a majestic demeanor, calm and domineering.

He walked in front of her and paused slightly.

Lu Jiuwan stood straight, looking at him, and smiled faintly as if she remembered something, "This princess saved you some face outside today."

Di Jiang looked at her quietly for two seconds.

Her eyes slowly filled with smiles, and she suddenly smiled, the light laughter was short but clear.

But the smile was fleeting.

He restrained his expression and nodded to her in agreement, "Well, tell me how you saved it."

Lu Jiuwan looked at his face carefully with her eyes, and the smile just now seemed like an illusion.

But the remaining smile in her eyes could capture a trace.

Lu Jiuwan walked towards the dining room and said, "Of course, it was because of my princess's superb piano skills that captured everyone's hearts and convinced everyone present."

"Really? Why did I hear that the princess was telling stories to others outside today?"

Lu Jiuwan paused and continued walking, "What's wrong? Is telling stories against the law?"

Dijiang's mood suddenly became irritable.

He grabbed her hand and forced her to stop.

She looked up at him and saw that his face, which was sunny just now, was a little gloomy at this moment.

"Queen, Chen Xuan? You are the queen, who is Chen Xuan? This king, or another man?"

Damn, this moody man.

Lu Jiuwan tilted her head and glared at him speechlessly.

"If you are sick, go get treated. Don't go crazy here. That's not my Lu Jiuwan's story, and it's even less likely to be my imagination. You're so annoying, you're crazy."

Di Jiang stared into her eyes motionlessly. From her eyes, he only saw irritation and anger.

The depression in his heart suddenly eased.

She looked at him sarcastically.

"You are worthy of being Chen Xuan? Eating other people's meat can make you immortal, but eating yours will make you shit in three days."

After saying that, she took out a thick ancient book from her sleeve and slapped it on his chest.

Di Jiang's depression was about to escape, but she caught him back and put him in jail.

He reached out and grabbed the book that almost fell on his chest, and looked at her back as she strode forward.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the book in his hand. It was a very thick book, and the title of the book was written on the cover - "Journey to the West".

Journey to the West?

West, west, the west.

Whose travel notes, study records?

Whose travel notes to the west?

She gave him this book at this time. Could it be that it records the story of the queen and Chen Xuan?

Is there really a country of women?

Ridiculous.

That should be a legend.

He handed the book to Mu Bai behind him, "Take it to my study."

Lu Jiuwan sat on a chair in the dining room, not even looking at the dog man who walked in from outside.

Di Jiang sat beside her without changing his expression.

He raised his hand, poured a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of Lu Jiuwan.

He slowly opened his mouth, "Did you have fun at the banquet today?"

"Just so." Lu Jiuwan answered in a bored tone, ignoring him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's just average."

The two of them were silent.

The maid came in quickly to serve the dishes.

Lu Jiuwan picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Dijiang picked up the soup bowl beside her, poured her a bowl of soup, and gently placed it in front of her.

Lu Jiuwan glanced at it.

She continued to eat her own food.

Dijiang didn't move his chopsticks, but sat quietly aside, watching what dishes she liked, and then replaced them in front of her.

Every time a dish was replaced in front of her, she would stretch her chopsticks away and refused to eat what was in front of her.

Dijiang had no choice but to raise his hand and untie the purse on his waist.

Put it in front of her.

Lu Jiuwan stopped using her chopsticks and looked at him.

Dijiang looked at her quietly, "I'll give it all to you."

Give her everything?

Lu Jiuwan curiously put down the bowl and chopsticks and picked up the purse on the table.

Her movements were smooth and flowing, without a moment's hesitation.

She opened it and took out everything inside.

A stack of banknotes and a jade hairpin inlaid with mutton-fat magnolia flowers.

The man's purse was so big that it could actually fit a hairpin.

Lu Jiuwan naturally stuffed the banknotes into her sleeves, holding the hairpin and asked him, "Is this for me?"

Dijiang saw that she hid the banknotes so calmly, without mentioning them, as if the banknotes had never existed, and felt a little funny in his heart.

He nodded, "Yes, Xiaolanhua."

I don't know if he was calling someone or her.

A slight electric current passed through her internal organs, making her feel numb and tingling.

"It just so happens that I have something for you too." As she said that, she twirled her hairpins on her head and took out a bottle from her sleeve and handed it to him.

Dijiang's eyes were on her hairpins.

He stood up and leaned closer to her.

He raised his hand to take her small orchid and re-pinned her hairpin.

Lu Jiuwan's nose smelled the faint and clear scent on him, warm and clean.

Another wave of numbness passed through her heart.

This feeling was quite addictive, Lu Jiuwan found.

He pinned her hairpin and then sat down again.

He looked at the bottle in her hand and took it.

"What is this?" His voice also softened unconsciously.

"I don't know, your father-in-law told me to add a little to your meal every day."

She was too lazy to add it, it was troublesome, why not just give it to him directly, and he can add some when he wants to eat.

Di Jiang: "..."

"It seems that Lord Yu Shi cares about me very much, why don't you accompany me to taste it, it must be a panacea for the body."

Lu Jiuwan: "?"

Sick.

She won't taste it, it's poisonous.

"Try it yourself, I'm full." She stood up and walked out.

"Where are you going? I'm not asking you to do it, sit down and have dinner with me."

Lu Jiuwan paused and turned around, inviting him, "I'm going to untie my hands, do you want to join me?"

Dijiang: "..."

His ears were a little red.

"Go ahead."

Lu Jiuwan shrugged and went out.

After untying her hands and washing them, she took off the hairpin on her head and looked at it while walking.

A small yellow orchid.

This beauty is so damn beautiful.

It matches her name so well.

When she reached the door of the dining room, she put the hairpin back and reached out to support it.

When she entered the door, she saw Dijiang continuing to eat, and the small bottle was placed next to the plate.

She approached and asked uncertainly, "Did you add it?"

Di Jiang was confused, "Huh?"

"The magic medicine your father gave me."

Di Jiang raised the corner of his lips, then pressed it down, "Nonsense."

Lu Jiuwan sat down with peace of mind.

After dinner, Lu Jiuwan was looking forward to his leaving.

She was alone and could lie down, sit, and eat whenever she wanted.

"Why don't you leave?"

Di Jiang saw that she was about to scratch her ears and cheeks, and said lightly: "The king will stay here tonight."

Lu Jiuwan raised his eyelids, "...Not tonight."

"Why not?" Hearing her direct refusal, he felt a little disappointed.

Lu Jiuwan: "I don't want it tonight for the time being."

Di Jiang was stunned on the spot, and his ears slowly turned red.

Chapter 29 The King Comes in Person

That's not what he meant.

Did he stay overnight just to do that one thing?

He just wanted to stay.

Or, although he wanted to stay in his heart, he just wanted to tease her, not to really stay.

But he forgot.

On the art of speaking.

Who can beat his princess?

It's him, overestimating himself.

After sitting stiffly for a while, Dijiang stood up.

He hesitated before leaving, but turned back and said, "The reason why I said I'm staying is not because of what you said."

Lu Jiuwan nodded perfunctorily, "Yeah, yeah."

Dijiang: ...

Angry and annoyed.

She obviously didn't believe it.

After standing for a while, he decided not to argue with her.

Otherwise, he would definitely lose.

He walked away with big strides, feeling a little angry.

Lu Jiuwan looked at his back as he left, sat there quietly for a while, and finished a Coke.

So cool.

...

Dijiang returned to Yunhe Courtyard, and went into the study after taking a bath.

A thick book "Journey to the West" was waiting for him on the desk.

He sat down, relaxed his body, and looked a little lazy and leisurely.

Thinking of the anger he had just received from Lu Jiuwan, he curled the corners of his lips.

He raised his hand and opened the book on the table.

The study was quiet.

When she looked up, she realized that time had flown by, and it was already pitch black outside the window.

What a Chen Xuan.

He turned out to be a monk.

It was indeed his princess. Such a legendary story was changed beyond recognition by her.

"Your Highness, the maid in the princess's yard came to say that the princess was unwell." Outside the door, the servant reported urgently.

Dijiang stood up suddenly and left without hesitation.

His footsteps were like the wind, and his clothes were flying.

...

Lu Jiuwan woke up from her sleep in pain.

She thought she would feel much better after the treatment, but she didn't expect that this pain was still unbearable.

It was like there were thousands of ants densely attached to her bones and biting her non-stop.

Pain, itching, nausea, confusion, panic.

She forced herself to stay awake and injected herself with painkillers.

However, the painkillers seemed to have lost their effect and were completely useless.

The pain from the bone erosion was still getting stronger and stronger.

She was soaked in sweat from the pain, and her pajamas stuck to her body, adding to the discomfort.

It was getting darker and darker in front of her.

She was getting more and more confused.

She was panicked, desperate and in pain. The pain made her feel that her body was collapsing bit by bit.

This body seemed to be more sensitive to pain than her original body.

What a bad luck.

Lu Jiuwan's consciousness was already blurred, and she couldn't tell what was in front of her.

Because of the pain, her body was struggling everywhere, and she didn't know what she bumped into.

Bai Tao and two maids were on guard.

Bai Tao heard the sound and knocked on the door anxiously, "Princess, what happened?"

"Princess?"

They didn't dare to barge in.

After listening, it seemed that something was wrong inside.

Only then did they dare to risk their lives to push the door open.

But they were horrified to see that their princess actually fell off the bed and fell to the ground, looking very painful.

The three of them were immediately frightened and at a loss, their faces pale.

"Hurry up and inform the prince!" Bai Tao rushed up to help the princess up while explaining to the maid beside her.

The maid was at a loss, but she didn't dare to delay for a moment and ran towards Yunhe Courtyard.

Dijiang hurried over.

Inside the room.

A group of maids surrounded the room and tried to help the princess to the bed.

But the princess struggled in pain and they could not get close.

Whoever tried to help her would be pushed away by her in annoyance and pain.

The princess was really strong, and they were pushed to the ground one by one, and then quickly got up.

They did not dare to trap the princess roughly, fearing that they would accidentally hurt her.

They could only use their own bodies to block the furniture next to the princess to prevent the princess from bumping into it and getting hurt.

When Dijiang saw Lu Jiuwan's painful appearance, he felt a little distressed and anxious.

"Get out." He was also annoyed with these useless maids.

He quickly stepped over the maids who were not paying attention, stepped forward and picked up the person lying on the ground.

The maids were so frightened that their hearts stopped for a moment and hurriedly retreated.

Regardless of Lu Jiuwan's struggle, Dijiang put her on the bed.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured the only pill in it into his palm, picked it up and fed it into her mouth.

"Swallow it, it won't hurt after you eat it, be obedient." He didn't realize that his voice was gentler and more patient than ever before.

He was afraid that she would waste this only pill.

He controlled her body with one hand and pinched her chin with the other hand, forcing her to swallow it.

Lu Jiuwan had completely lost consciousness and could not open her eyes.

But the pain still tortured her body.

She rolled around on the bed.

The effect of the medicine did not take effect immediately.

After Dijiang fed her the medicine, he stopped restraining her.

He sat by the bed to prevent her from rolling over.

Her clothes were thin and soaked with sweat, revealing her curvaceous figure without reservation.

Dijiang felt that she must be very uncomfortable.

"Come here, prepare bathing things."

The maid outside the door responded hurriedly.

He continued to look at the person on the bed. Her condition gradually calmed down, but her eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled.

He reached out and gently stroked her forehead and cheeks, "It's okay, sleep well, I will watch over you."

It seemed that this worked. The tension in her body slowly dissipated, and her breathing became calmer.

Looking at her rare well-behaved appearance.

Dijiang's eyes were full of tenderness.

Hot water and underwear were ready.

Bai Tao wanted to go forward and wipe the princess' body, but the prince was sitting by the bed.

"Prince, it's time for me to wipe the princess' body."

Dijiang withdrew his gaze from Lu Jiuwan's face, lowered his eyebrows, and said in a cold voice, "Put down the things, go out, the prince will do it himself."

Bai Tao put down the things and left.

But she was shocked in her heart.

The prince actually wanted to wipe the princess' body himself?

Personally!

Prince... will you?

Don't scratch the princess' delicate skin.

Besides, can you wipe it carefully?

Forget it.

Anyway.

The prince treated the princess so well because he doted on her too much.

She left, closed the door, and waited outside, waiting for the prince's order at any time.

Dijiang glanced at the hot water in the basin and the towel next to him for wiping the body.

He took the towel and wet it. The water temperature was just right.

He wrung the towel and looked at the person on the bed with a gentle and soft look.

He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and face.

He wrung the towel once and wiped her neck and collarbone.

He was silent for a moment and put the towel down.

He reached out to untie the knot on her clothes. Every time he untied one knot, an inch of her white and moist skin was exposed.

Dijiang's eyes gradually became deep.

His men became more and more hesitant.

But when he thought about how he and she had done the most intimate things, why should he care about these things?

He gently helped her up and slowly took off her pajamas.

He was helpless and sighed.

She really looked down on the little rags and really didn't wear them.

She didn't wear the new style of women's underwear she said.

Dijiang twisted the handkerchief again and wiped it from her collarbone down, bit by bit.

The candlelight spots flickered, and the gauze curtain was lowered, covering the beautiful scenery of the shadows on the bed, and a curve was looming and extremely tempting.

Inside the tent, the woman had a beautiful face, her eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes were long, her lips were bright red, and her breath was like orchid.

Her skin was white and tender, with a light pearly sheen.

Two pale pink peach blossoms fell between the two piles of snow-white.

Her faint body fragrance lingered around the man beside her.

Inch by inch.

Dijiang wiped it very carefully and gently.

The roots of her ears were as red as branding iron, but he couldn't see it.

But he knew that his ears were very hot, very hot.

Chapter 30 She smells so good

...

After changing the water several times, he finally finished wiping.

Then he put on the nightgown that the maid had prepared for her.

Dijiang reached out and picked up the pink rag on the nightgown, spread it in his hands, and looked at it silently.

The memory suddenly rushed out of his mind and appeared in his eyes.

The shocking and exciting feeling of having her for the first time will always be clearly imprinted in his heart.

It is always easy to be seduced by something.

For example, the small rag in front of him.

Recover your mind.

Then he covered her with the cloth, stretched out his hand around her neck, slightly lifted her upper body, and tied the upper belt.

Then he half-wrapped her in his arms, tied the belt around his waist, took the pajamas next to him and put them on her, and finally put on her underwear.

After everything was done, he called the maid to come in and pour water.

Bai Tao brought people in, cleaned up neatly and went out.

He didn't dare to see whether the prince had served the princess well.

Di Jiang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the person on the bed motionlessly.

His mind was peaceful, tranquil and comfortable.

Didn't she get the antidote? How could she be in such a situation?

Could it be...she didn't?

Impossible, the consequences of betrayal are definitely not so easy.

That can only mean that she didn't take it.

So, what does she want to do?

Try the consequences of not taking the antidote? Trying to get rid of the organization?

This guess made Dijiang's heart waver.

Tomorrow I should urge Xie Mingke.

He reached out and gently touched her cheek.

Smooth and tender, the warmth passed through his fingertips into his body, real and intimate.

The weather was a bit hot, even if he took measures to prevent heatstroke, it was still not comfortable enough.

He stood up and took the round fan embroidered with orchids from the shelf.

He sat back on the bed and fanned it gently, and the breeze lifted the fine hair on her forehead, rising and falling.

This light breeze flowed in the tent, and the faint fragrance was pleasant.

Dijiang looked at the person on the bed gently, and there was a gentle flow in his heart, which made him feel that this moment seemed to be a long-awaited moment that finally came true.

Warm, real, and reassuring.

...

Relieved from the pain of despair.

Lu Jiuwan understood in her heart why so many killers would obey.

She was fuzzy, a little sober at this moment, but she couldn't open her eyes.

She could clearly feel Dijiang's every move.

He changed her clothes, wiped her body, put on her clothes, and fanned her.

She could even clearly feel the look in his eyes as he stared at her at this moment.

She didn't want to weigh the pros and cons, nor did she want to think about the transparent secrets between the two.

She felt a little relieved at this moment.

I felt so relieved that I gradually fell asleep in this light and cool breeze.

In the second half of the night, the temperature dropped.

Dijiang felt tired and slept beside her bed.

Worried about what might happen to her, he didn't even take off his clothes.

Although he was very sleepy, he became more awake when he lay beside her.

He got closer to her and could smell her fragrant hair.

She smelled fragrant all over, especially her hair.

Why?

He had smelled many fragrances, but this was not the fragrance that could be stained by a sachet.

She had too many secrets, and he was used to not asking about them.

He closed his eyes lightly, fanned himself with a round fan, and gradually fell asleep beside her.

...

The moon was setting in the west.

The stars were moving.

The east is about to dawn.

Lu Jiuwan took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision went from blurry to clear, and in front of her was a handsome face.

His features were three-dimensional and smooth, his sword-like eyebrows were thick and dark, his eyelashes were long and thin, his nose was high, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.

Even though he was asleep, the aura of a noble family on him did not diminish at all.

She only had some vague memories of last night.

She vaguely remembered that it was Dijiang who was taking care of her.

She raised her hand, picked up the round fan that fell on her, and looked at it carefully.

Orchid, a good thing, really suited her name.

Throw it away.

I don't know where it went, but it disappeared without a trace, as if it disappeared out of thin air, which was strange.

Lu Jiuwan continued to admire the handsome man in front of her motionlessly.

His eyebrows, his nose, his lips...

She had a strange feeling in her heart.

This man was her husband, in other words, her husband.

And he seemed to be pretty good to her.

She had never been in love before.

She didn't know what it felt like to like someone.

Not to mention liking someone, she couldn't even find someone to sleep with.

However, she liked Dijiang no matter how she looked at him.

Looking at him, she felt a strange sense of pleasure in her heart.

It seemed that she might have some feelings for this guy Dijiang.

She was going to fall in love.

Throw all the concerns aside and talk unilaterally for two days.

Every day we can talk is a day, and we will learn a lot.

As for Dijiang, I won't notify him, so as to avoid his refusal.

Lu Jiuwan happily pulled the corners of his mouth.

Dijiang's long eyelashes gently lifted.

In the dim light, in front of him was a beautiful face looking at him with a smile.

Her eyes were like a cat, bright and smart, and breathtaking.

Seeing him wake up, Lu Jiuwan put away her smile and continued to look at him quietly.

After staring at each other for a long time, Dijiang suddenly came to his senses and realized that his heartbeat was a little fast.

This strange feeling often appears recently, a little familiar, and a little dangerous, but this kind of danger makes him happy.

"When did you wake up? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Dijiang's voice was a little hoarse, and Lu Jiuwan found it very sexy.

She didn't answer, but still looked at him.

Dijiang saw that she didn't answer, and saw that she looked fine, so he didn't ask any more questions.

He tilted his head and glanced at the room. It was still early in the morning.

"Lie down for a while." He wanted to get up.

Lu Jiuwan stretched out a slender leg and wrapped it around his waist.

Dijiang tilted his head and looked at her inquiringly.

Lu Jiuwan met his gaze and looked at him a little dependently.

This discovery softened his heart, and he fell back on the pillow, and asked lazily and gently: "What's wrong?"

Lu Jiuwan didn't say anything, and retracted her legs that were still hanging on his waist.

Half propped up her body, she began to pull his belt without saying anything.

After taking a bath last night, he wore a simple and comfortable home robe, which was easy to put on and take off.

As the belt was pulled, the inner and outer robes spread out together, revealing his strong and sturdy chest.

Her slender hands slowly touched up, neck, collarbone, chest...

Her fingertips rubbed the little red beans.

Dijiang's breathing was slightly short, and his eyes were locked on her calm little face.

His ups and downs of chest and abdomen showed that he was in high spirits.

She could burn him to death even if she lit a fire casually.

When she reached down, Dijiang grabbed it fiercely and said patiently: "You are not in good health. Rest well today and don't work hard."

Lu Jiuwan struggled to break away and looked at him stubbornly and arrogantly.

This time, she started to pull her own belt directly.

Dijiang sighed silently, helpless and happy.

He couldn't escape.

The belt was torn open, revealing the small pink rag inside, and Lu Jiuwan raised her eyebrows.

"You put it on me?" She asked, her voice was also very hoarse.

Dijiang felt a little uncomfortable, "Yeah."

She didn't take it off again, and whispered, "The little rag is interesting."

Dijiang: ...

Throw the coat off the bed.

Lu Jiuwan turned around and straddled him.

Pull off the excess cloth under him.

Dijiang hurriedly held her down, fearing that she would hurt herself recklessly.

The world was spinning, and the two changed positions.

He was extremely gentle, neither hurried nor slow, attacking while observing her reaction.

It seemed that pleasing her made him feel more accomplished.

The gray cloth covering the sky was torn open.

The sun shone from the clouds, and the clouds were colorful.

The bright red morning glow flew onto the face of the maid guarding outside the door.

The birds outside the window chirped, and they were so lively.

A little beast that didn't understand human ethics.
