Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

"Prince, if you are interested, you can ask the emperor for an imperial decree. I am looking forward to the marriage being cancelled." Xiao Jue picked up the wine glass and looked at the prince in front of him.

"Ziqing, don't talk nonsense." The prince called Xiao Jue's cousin by name, "You grew up with us. This is the Crown Prince's Consort carefully selected by our father. You are a lady from a noble family. What else do you want?"

"Yes, yes, a lady from a noble family." These four words did not apply to her at all. They could not even sleep together after marriage. She might even die in her sleep. Although she had a bad temper, she was honest. She gave him silver taels a few days ago. A small woman could come up with 100,000 taels. Although the Xiao Palace was not short of money, it was really expensive to support those people. He did not want to use the money of the Xiao Palace. It would be nice to have a wife who made money. Ah, bah, how could he have such an idea? Such a terrible idea.

"You are taking advantage of me, kid. I admire Miss Wen's literary talent very much," said the second prince Xiao Jingyu

"........."

"Cousin, pay attention to your etiquette. In front of everyone, you'd better smile and remain dignified and elegant. If you have anything to say, come back to your yard and tell me later," Xue Daihua reminded Wen Ziqi in a low voice.

Wen Ziqi was stunned, and quickly got into position...

After lunch, just like in the Wenchang Marquis Mansion, there were poems, songs, calligraphy, painting, martial arts and swordplay, which were even more exciting. However, Wu Zizhuo felt a little dizzy. She warmed the wine and asked Xuan Ling to take her to her bedroom to rest. She didn't want the incident in the Wenchang Marquis Mansion to happen again.

"Miss" Xuanxing whispered a few words to Wenjiu, and then Wenjiu smiled and said that he knew.

Wen Ziqi's group was lively and full of laughter.

"Jiujiu, let's go too!"

"I..., okay." Wen Jiu really didn't want to go, but since he was the host, he wouldn't abandon his guests, so he took them to the bustling

It was inevitable that she would be pushed out for writing poems and lyrics, and she could not refuse, so she responded calmly.

Many people discussed music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Wen Jiu said that he was not familiar with them and asked for forgiveness. He admitted it honestly and generously.

"Being unskilled doesn't mean you don't know how to do it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be that easy to be the daughter of the Prime Minister. Miss Wen, you don't have to be so modest." How could Xue Daihua let go of this opportunity?

"If I say I'm not skilled, then I'm not skilled. What do I need to prove? I'm the legitimate daughter. Do I need these blessings to bless me?"

"You all know that I was brought back from the mountain valley. Why are you making things difficult for me? Do I have a grudge against you?"

"Miss, this is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue"

"Oh, it turns out to be Ziqi's cousin,"

"So they are relatives. They must want to embarrass you, Jiujiu," Zhao Keke said

"How dare you, a mere businessman, come to the Prime Minister's residence? Miss Wen, I think you should kick her out. All the girls here are from famous families. You are lowering your status." Xue Daihua looked at Zhao Keke with contempt.

"Ms. Xue, not to mention that Keke is an imperial merchant, she is also a distinguished guest invited by the Prime Minister's Mansion. What is your intention in belittling my distinguished guest like this?"

"Dear guest? Are you okay with your brain?"

"Oh? According to what this lady said, Jia Shang is not worthy to be here?" Su Jinxiu asked with narrowed eyes.

"Isn't it? This kind of person who is full of money......"

"How dare you! You look down on the imperial merchants? They deliver food and clothing to the soldiers. How dare you trample on them? Even my father praises them. I think you are really stupid." The prince said angrily

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I just..."

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Apologize to Miss Zhao."

"Miss Zhao, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the real talent."

Zhao Keke ignored her and bowed to the prince, "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me out," and walked over to the man who was warming the wine and said, "Jiujiu, I think we should find a place to sit down and talk. The people here..."

"Just sit here and see who dares to say anything. My Northwest Army has been indebted to the Zhao family for a long time. Besides, my cousin is here today, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Su Jinxiu's words made Zhao Keke, who was originally depressed, look happy.

Many people reflected that this was the Zhao family. Although they were merchants, they were imperial merchants. Invitations would be sent to them for weddings and funerals in the capital. After all, who wouldn't want to benefit? The Zhao family was praised by the emperor, and they were also the maiden family of the third wife of the general's mansion.

Since it was a small matter, no one cared about it and let it go. However, Xue Daihua, who returned to Wen Ziqi's courtyard, was furious and embarrassed. The prince had given her face in front of so many people, and a vicious plan began to grow in her heart.

"Cousin, you clearly know that the Zhao family is now in its heyday, why do you still want to humiliate them like this? If the prince hadn't stopped it in time, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? I just want to see who is protecting the Zhao family. Do you think I want to embarrass Wen Jiu? Ha, you are so naive." Yes, Xue Daihua came here today with her father's mission. Zhao Keke has a good relationship with Wen Jiu, so she wants to try to embarrass Wen Jiu. Zhao Keke will stand up for her. As she expected, she humiliated Zhao Keke to see who would protect Zhao Keke. The first was the prince, the second was Wen Jiu, and the third was the third young master of the general's mansion. Today, the prince, the second prince, and the fifth prince came out to protect her.

It can't be that obvious. The prince may be protecting her father, but it is not ruled out. After all, that is the Zhao family, a family as rich as a country. Who doesn't want to have endless money? My father said that the prince and the fifth prince both extended olive branches to him. Humph, Zhao Keke, you really like wine and stinky fish. Wen Ziqi and Xue Daihua both hate the women they hate.

The two conspired to figure out how to get their colleagues involved.

"But... Mother said she has already made arrangements. Will this disrupt her plans?"

"If we succeed, aunt will praise us." Xue Daihua couldn't wait to destroy Zhao Keke. She knew that if Zhao Keke was not born in a bad family, then these princes would compete to marry her. She, Xue Daihua, would not allow that. Even if she had no chance of being the main wife, she wanted her not to have even a concubine. Those positions could only be chosen by her...

She loves the fifth prince, but the prince is in a high position and has great power, so she has to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

"What's going on? I was just chatting with a few ladies and heard a few words. What's wrong with you three? Letting two girls be insulted by a daughter of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Aunt, what she said makes sense, but she doesn't know that I received a post," Zhao Keke said, lowering her eyes, and her hands uncomfortably played with the white jade hanging on her waist.

"It's my fault, little aunt. I didn't take good care of Coco and made her suffer."

"It's none of your business. It's the fault of those three naughty monkeys."

"Yes, my aunt taught me that."

"Hmph, okay, come on, come and talk to your aunt. Is everything okay at home? How are your father and mother? And your brother?"

"Aunt, everything is fine at home. My father, mother, and younger brother will be back soon. They are going to a very far place this time."

The aunt and niece chatted together, drinking warm wine, and just stayed there quietly. Chu Tunan also sat down with them.

The sky gradually darkened, and then Xuan Ling came and said, "Miss, Miss Wu has woken up, and seems to have her period. I want to borrow some clothes from you."

"Jiu'er, go quickly, don't delay"

"Yes, then you guys stay here and be quiet, I'll be back soon"

She nodded to Zhao Keke and Chu Tunan and returned to Fumengyuan.

"Miss Wen, I'm so sorry, I forgot the date. Do you have a menstrual belt or some clothes to lend me to change into?" Wu Zizhuo's face turned red with embarrassment. What kind of thing was this? He even made someone else's bed dirty.

"Xuan Ling, go get some unused menstrual belts and some clothes for Miss Wu."

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Miss Wu, what did you say? I hope you don't mind."

"How come? Thank you very much,"

Xuan Ling took Wu Zizhuo to change clothes, and Wen Jiu sat down to wait for her.
