Quickly wear a child: a beautiful woman with many children brings happiness

On the day when the rankings were announced, Yue Lingyin asked Feng Mian to go to Hongye Tower to help her early in the morning. Feng Mian came back quickly and brought the good news that she was first.

Yue Lingyin couldn't suppress her inner joy and couldn't help but burst into laughter, which scared Feng Mian.

After a long while, she stopped laughing and asked, "What is the third level? Is it about stealing the imperial seal?"

Feng Mian shook his head. Hongye Tower didn’t have the guts to do that. If they really dared to take the imperial seal, His Majesty would destroy them no matter what.

But Yue Lingyin didn’t know this and looked at Feng Mian with anticipation.

Feng Mian's ears turned slightly red, and he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

"It's to steal the lotus orchids from the imperial garden. The first one to complete the task wins."

The petal lotus orchid is a rare variety, and only the Imperial Garden in the whole Shengjing has it.

Yue Lingyin was secretly annoyed that she had obtained the wrong information, but then she became happy again. Orchids were much easier to steal than the imperial seal. She would go and dig one up right now, so there were still benefits to entering the palace.

Yue Lingyin walked towards the imperial garden excitedly. Feng Mian thought about it and reported to Dong Lizheng, saying that the Queen Mother wanted a petal lotus orchid.

Dong Lizheng was conscientiously handling government affairs, and did not even raise his head: "It's just a flower, if she wants it, she can take it."

Feng Mian breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately His Majesty was not reluctant to let her go.

Yue Lingyin carefully dug out the flowers, rushed out of the palace and went to Hongye Tower. As expected, she won first place.

"I declare that the winner of the 23rd Thief Contest is Yue Lingyin!"

The crowd cheered, Yue Lingyin stood proudly in the center, taking the token handed over by the organizer. The word "thief" on it was shining brightly with golden light.

Qiao Shiyu's jaw dropped again: "No, how did she become a thief?"

Zhao Youheng was also confused: "Maybe he has some special stealing skills?"

"What skill?" Qiao Shiyu asked, "Did the master teach her without telling us?"

Zhao Youheng couldn't answer.

Yue Lingyin enjoyed the attention of the crowd. Her wish of rebirth finally came true! She was no longer an insignificant marginal figure, no longer ignored and ridiculed. Everyone envied her.

According to past practice, a thief can enjoy offerings from the stealing sects until she dies of old age, and can also take back the items she handed in in the competition.

The organizer handed Nangong Xuemo's handkerchief, Wei Jinzhi's square sword, Shen Qingchen's Suihou Pearl, and Dong Lizheng's orchid back to Yue Lingyin with a painful look on his face.

Yue Lingyin was stunned by the sudden surprise. If she sold these things...

"General Fuguo, I saw her enter the Red Leaf Tower."

Yue Lingyin hurriedly looked down and saw Wei Jinzhi, standing tall as a pine tree, walking into the Red Leaf Tower surrounded by a group of soldiers.

Yue Lingyin took a deep breath, rolled up the things, and flew out of the back window.

Everyone present had stolen something before, so when they saw General Fuguo coming in, they all scattered. Some people even jumped out of the window and escaped like Yue Lingyin.

But they were not as lucky as Yue Lingyin. They were all caught by the soldiers and brought to Wei Jinzhi.

"General, these people are suspicious and ran away when they saw us. They may be spies sent by other countries."

The arrested person had no words to say: "No, it's really not."

"Then why did you run away? Even if you weren't a spy, you must have done something wrong."

"General Fuguo, long time no see." The elder of the Thief Sect stood in front and saluted Wei Jinzhi.

"It's you." Wei Jinzhi suddenly understood why they were running away.

Seven years ago, when the neighboring country invaded, Marquis Zhongyong was wounded and retreated. It was Wei Jinzhi's first time leading troops and he was still groping for many things. It was the elder of the Thief Sect who led a group of people to the enemy to steal intelligence and burn food and grass, which enabled them to achieve victory as quickly as possible.

After that, Wei Jinzhi grew up rapidly, became more and more skilled in leading troops in battles, and became a famous general in Dongli, but the scene of his first time leading troops is still fresh in his memory.

"General Fuguo, can you please give me some face and release these guests? They are all invited here. If anything happens, I will not be able to explain myself."

Wei Jinzhi: "Let them go."

"Thank you, General Fuguo."

Wei Jinzhi: "Have you ever seen a woman named Yue Lingyin?"

"Yes, she is the final winner of our competition. She just went out of the window."

Wei Jinzhi gestured for someone to chase after her, "I'm curious, how did she win?"

"Suihou Pearl, Lotus Orchid, and..." The elder looked at him and stroked his beard with a smile: "And the Four-sided Sword."

"This general needs an explanation." His voice was low and contained a force that could not be rejected.

The elder said: "The task of stealing the Four Swords has always existed. The purpose is to highlight the difficulty and let the contestants improve themselves. We didn't expect that anyone would actually complete it."

"Where is my sword now?"

"It has been returned to the girl. It is not too late for you to catch up with her now, Your Highness."

The Four-sided Sword was a betrothal gift, and Wei Jinzhi had never thought of taking it back, but Yue Lingyin's casual attitude towards disposing of it still made him very unhappy.

After coming out of Hongye Tower, the people who were sent to chase Yue Lingyin returned.

"General, we chased her all the way and almost caught up with her, but she..." The subordinate carefully examined Wei Jinzhi's face, "She jumped over the wall next to Wansui Mountain and ran into the palace."

Wei Jinzhi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"I am very sure that I have not made a mistake, nor have I followed the wrong person."

You can't rush into the palace rashly. Even if the relationship is good, you still need to inform Huidong Li Zheng before looking for someone.

When Dong Lizheng heard Wei Jinzhi's purpose, he had a bad feeling. The only woman he knew of who had cheated on him was the one in Qinghan Palace.

He asked, "What's the name of the woman who lied to you?"

Wei Jinzhi said: "Yue Lingyin."

Dong Lizheng stood up and said, "Impossible. I have someone watching her. She can't possibly go out."

Wei Jinzhi: "Who are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

Dong Lizheng said in a complicated tone: "She was the new queen married before the late emperor passed away. The current queen mother will never marry you."

Wei Jinzhi was shocked. It was the Queen Mother? He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, calmed himself down, and said to Dong Lizheng, "I want to see her."

Dong Lizheng went to find Yue Lingyin, but thinking that Wei Jinzhi was his good friend and right-hand man, he didn't want to create any grudges between them, so he could only sigh.

"I'll take you there. If there's any misunderstanding, you two can clarify it face to face. Yue Lingyin will never marry you."

Wei Jinzhi noticed that Dong Lizheng's attitude was different. Thinking of what he had said to him a few days ago, he had a guess in his mind.

Dong Lizheng took Wei Jinzhi to the gate of Qinghan Palace and said, "Wait a minute, I will go in and report."

After saying that, without waiting for Wei Jinzhi's reaction, he walked in first.

Yue Lingyin excitedly shared her joy with Feng Mian. Feng Mian looked at her with a smile. The Square Sword was placed on the table, and Dong Lizheng saw it at a glance.

"General Fuguo wants to see you. Do you have anything to tell me?"

Yue Lingyin's smile froze and she sat on the stool: "I don't want to see him."

"The Queen Mother doesn't want to see me, or she is just feeling guilty."
