Chapter 22: It's Not You Who Saved

The third master saw Abi'er practicing calligraphy aimlessly alone, but he also saw that he was a little uneasy: "Don't worry, your thirteenth master is a responsible man, since he went to find the princess, it means that the thirteenth master will not leave her alone."

Abi'er smiled reluctantly and said: "The princess has never suffered such grievances since she was a child, but now in this Forbidden City, there is nowhere to say about suffering, and I thought it was a great thing to marry in the capital, but I didn't expect that it would be better not to marry."

Seeing Abi'er like this, the third master sighed deeply, because for him, this kind of thing is commonplace.

Seeing that Abier's writing is a little distorted, and the strokes written are not quite right, the word "come" should be a horizontal and then a pinch, but Abier did draw two horizontal and one vertical, and then give two points, one by one. He walked up to Abier's side, held Abier's hand and said, "That's how the word "come" is written. ”

Some flattered Abier was stunned and let the third master teach her to write.

The third master said that he stopped his pen and asked, "Will it be?"

Abi'er, who was in a trance, really didn't see it. He shook his head, and the third master smiled and said, "That's the case." And then it was taught again.

The fourth master was recuperating in Concubine De's palace, and Concubine De brought a cup of red dates and white fungus lotus seed soup.

The fourth master was injured on his chest, and when he saw Concubine De coming, he tried to sit straighter: "Eniang."

Concubine De hurriedly said, "Don't move, just sit like this."

Then he sat on the side of the fourth master's bed, reached out and took the red dates and white fungus lotus seed soup from the tray of the maid's hand next to him and said, "I stewed some red dates and white fungus lotus seed soup for you, you can eat some."

The fourth master stared at the red dates and white fungus lotus seed soup for a while, and his eyes, which were originally a little dull, suddenly came back to his senses, so he smiled slightly, opened his mouth and ate the red dates handed over by Concubine De.

Concubine De said with some concern while stirring the soup: "Actually, yesterday's actions of you and the princess have aroused the dissatisfaction of the prince, and the emperor's face can't be hung up.

The fourth master lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday was also a special situation, and I didn't know that the princess's treatment was so special, but Eniang, don't worry, I have nothing to do with the princess." ”

Concubine De handed over another mouthful of white fungus, and the fourth master ate it very naturally.

"That's fine, E-Niang is also relieved." Concubine De seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, someone came to report: "Niangniang, the thirteenth elder brother and Princess Xueyi are asking to see each other outside the door."

Concubine De said, "Announce it." Then put down the white fungus lotus seed soup in his hand and put it in the tray serving the maid next to him.

Thirteenth Master, Xueyi walked in and saluted separately.

Thirteenth Master: "Concubine De, fourth brother."

Xueyi: "Concubine De, fourth master."

Concubine De stood up and said, "The fourth master will be handed over to you, I'll go out first and show for a while."

The thirteenth and fourth masters all bowed their heads and sent Concubine De out.

The thirteenth master came to the front of the fourth master, but his eyes flickered a little, and the fourth master understood his younger brother, so he spoke first: "What? Didn't you come to visit me? Why do you keep standing stupidly. ”

The thirteenth master stammered a little: "Fourth...... Fourth brother, are your injuries better? ”

The fourth master smiled slightly, probably to let the thirteenth master relax: "Well, it's almost, when the condition is better, I will ask Huang Ama to resign and go to the Ming people to observe the people's feelings."

Of course, Thirteen understood why the fourth master did this, so he raised his spirit and asked, "Won't the fourth brother rest much?"

The fourth master shook his head and said, "It's boring to rest all the time, it's better to move your muscles and bones."

The thirteenth master walked in front of the fourth master, noticed the white fungus lotus seed soup in the hand of the maid holding the bowl next to him, and asked with some surprise: "This is?" Concubine De gave it? ”

The fourth master nodded, and the thirteenth master seemed to understand, so he said, "I'll go to the kitchen and arrange some dishes for the three of us."

The fourth master also smiled slightly, Xueyi also smiled slightly and watched the thirteenth master leave, and then paced in front of the fourth master, sending the people around him away, standing in front of the fourth master and whispering: "Fourth master, you can't swim, why do you want to save me."

The fourth master looked at Xueyi lightly and said, "I'm not saving you, I'm saving the eighteenth brother."

Xueyi thought that he was just about to jump into the water at that time, and he didn't really save himself, but the fourth master may know that if he didn't save him, he would definitely jump down to save people, but since he said so. I couldn't say anything more, I just said, "Actually, I can swim, if I had said it earlier, you wouldn't have been crushed by me."

The fourth master smiled and said, "Just take it as a memory, bitter and sweet."

Xueyi looked at the fourth master like this, he didn't look like the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he was completely a weak scholar.

Back in the courtyard, Xueyi saw that his brother Wang Xuefang was actually standing in his courtyard, Xueyi naturally ran over happily, and his voice was full of joy: "Brother Wang, why are you here?"

Xuefang was serious, but he also said very gently: "It's been almost a month since you came here, Ama is afraid that you will cause trouble, so I asked me to come and see you, and bring you some food by the way."

Seeing that there were some special ethnic ingredients on the table, Xueyi was very happy, in fact, Xueyi was thinking about using these meals to meet the prince.

Xuefang said, "What's the matter, don't you like it?"

Xueyi shook his head and said, "No, Brother Wang, come and sit down, I'll make you tea."

Xuefang said: "No need, I will go to see the prince later, and I will see you later."

Although Xueyi was a little unhappy, he couldn't say, "Okay, then next time our brother and sister will have a meal together."

Xuefang patted Xueyi's reluctant hand, Xueyi was willing to let go of Xuefang's hand, and after watching him leave, Xueyi muttered: "Fortunately, I have your brother, even if they don't help me in the future, at least there will be you."

In the evening, Jiu Ye sent someone to the Sifang Inn, Si Niang personally came out to receive him, Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Niu Er stood next to listen to Jiu Ye Xiao Si's words, Xiao Si said this: "This is the ninth master's dowry, I want to marry Li Siniang as a concubine, I don't know what the girl wants."

The little fish and the little calf were very happy and finally climbed the big branch.

Siniang looked at the dowry for a while, thought for a while, and said, "I am naturally very happy that a girl's family can marry a good husband like the ninth master."

Xiao Si happily congratulated: "Congratulations to the girl, according to the number of etiquette, you can pick up the girl on an auspicious day to enter the palace, the ninth master said, the day after tomorrow is a good day, I will send someone to pick up the girl, I hope the girl is ready."

Xueyi said gently, "Got it."

"That's the next goodbye." The errand was done neatly, and Xiao Si was naturally very happy.

Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Niu followed beside and blessed Siniang: "Sister boss, you can finally find a good home, can we follow you to enjoy happiness?"

Seeing her so happy, Siniang withdrew her sad face and said with a smile: "This is natural, but you have to help me do something first and write a notice for selling the property."

Xiao Niu Er said happily: "Okay, change it into a silver ticket, so that you can take it away, and I will go."

Xiao Yu also felt that what Xiao Niu Er said this time was very reasonable, and said, "I'm going to help too."

Looking at the back of the two of them leaving, Li Siniang felt a kind of sadness, I don't know why? Love or righteousness? Both are self-paying.

Xueyi took the food and came to the place where the prince was discussing things, there were indeed some people in it who were discussing things, and when they saw Xueyi's arrival, they were stunned and didn't speak, the prince put down the fold in his hand and said: "Princess, you go to my room first and wait for me for a while, and I will come to you after I finish dealing with things."

Xueyiti slipped through the food box and said, "Yes."

Coming to the prince's bedroom, Xueyi hurriedly put down the box. Ran to cover the door, began to rummage through the bookshelf, and finally found that this bookbox was very special on a cyan bookbox, nothing was locked, so I opened it and looked, there were actually some letters inside, but the content written on the letter was like ants and couldn't understand it, but there were a few words in it that I had learned, it was Mongolian writing, Xueyi thought in my heart: if I take things away, the prince will definitely find out, and not only will I be suspicious at that time, maybe it will be more difficult to have the opportunity to get close to the prince, really, If only I had my phone here.

Whew...... There seemed to be some footsteps on the outside, and Xueyi immediately put everything away and began to bring the food to the table.

"Why did you come to the prince's house" It was actually a woman's voice, it was still a little infiltrating to hear, Xueyi raised his head and looked, it turned out to be Fujin, Xueyi hurriedly saluted: "Fujin."

Fu Jin sat on the chair next to the table and looked at it for a while, his expression was very unhappy but he still pretended to be very calm: "I haven't seen the prince in this palace for some days, and I came here today to accompany the prince well, and the princess is also in a hurry."

Xueyi thought: Isn't this clearly wanting me to leave? Just what the doctor ordered.

Xueyi pretended to be very well-behaved and said: "Fujin, I just came to deliver some of our Mongolian special food for the prince, and since the things have been delivered, then I will leave first."

Of course, Fu Jin was very happy, and felt that Xueyi was very knowledgeable: "It's okay, I'll let the prince taste these things."

Xueyi took the basket and made a gesture, then withdrew and left, and met the prince's nurse at the door, Xueyi smiled at Mama, Mama also saluted, and then watched Xueyi leave.

Xueyi walked on the corridor and saw the ninth master and the tenth master over there, and saw that the tenth master was happy, and it was estimated that there was something fun or delicious again.

Xueyi doesn't want to see the ninth master, but the ninth master and the tenth master have a good relationship with the eighth master, and the fourteenth master has always disliked himself, so he can't go to him. Although Jiu Ye always treats himself very indifferently, he has never done anything to himself, on the contrary, he feels that he is the only person he has met in modern times, and he always has a feeling of being near and far.

Xueyi walked over with the basket and saluted: "Nine masters and ten masters."

The Tenth Master and the Ninth Master nodded, and the Tenth Master ran to Xueyi, picked up the box in Xueyi's hand and said, "What's delicious?" When I opened it, I found that there was nothing in it, so I was very unhappy and said, "Why is there nothing?" The princess won't just come out with this lunch box to tempt people, right? ”

Xueyi smiled, but thought to herself: This fool, can there be a moment when he is not so funny?

But you can't keep smiling like this: "I have Mongolian specialty tea there, and I'll give the tenth master and the ninth master one each." When talking about the ninth master, Xueyi also looked at the ninth master, but the ninth master never smiled, so Xueyi also glanced at it in a hurry.

"Tea? I don't really like it, but I can try it. The tenth master also replied very politely.

"Can you do me a favor?" Xueyi looked at the tenth master very naughtily.

The tenth master is also very generous, and when he was suddenly asked to do something, he crossed his hands on his waist and said, "No problem, princess, please speak up."

Xueyi suppressed the joy in his heart: "Tenth Master, last time I had something in the Eighth Master's place, can you help me get it back?"

The Tenth Master paused for a moment and said, "What is that?"

Xueyi: "As long as you say so, the eighth master will understand."

"Okay, then I'll go out of the palace now to help you do it." The tenth master was not only for the princess's tea bag, but more importantly, he was also very curious about what it was, so he agreed very quickly, turned to the ninth master standing next to him and said, "Ninth brother, let's go find the eighth brother." Then he smiled at Xueyi and left. The ninth master just looked at Xueyi, nodded and left, without much expression. But Jiu Ye's expression is not important, what matters is how things should go on.

The prince rushed to his bedroom in the garden, but there was no Xueyi in it, only Fujin and a maid were sitting in front, and there was Mama.

When Ning Fujin saw the prince coming, he stood up and saluted: "Prince."

The prince nodded: "Hmm", but his expression didn't seem to be as happy as just now, and he slowly walked to the side of the seat and sat down and said, "Where has the princess gone?"

Fu Jin was obviously very unhappy, but he still pretended to be very calm: "The princess must have something, so she is in a hurry to go back first, these meals are brought by the palace, and the prince should eat some too."

"Well, you can sit down and eat too." When the prince finished speaking, his expression was a little cold, and he didn't know what happened between them, but the prince was a noble person, even if he didn't do well or something, no one would say anything about him.

The shop was finally sold at a low price, Li Siniang sat in the carriage sent by the ninth master, and soon arrived, Siniang stepped out of the carriage, feeling that the surrounding environment was different from what she thought, and when she looked up, it turned out to be the Eighth Master's Mansion.

Siniang thought it was very strange, but thinking about it, maybe the ninth master and the eighth master had a good relationship, so she took herself to the eighth master's mansion.

Siniang was distracted, and Xiao Si next to her reminded: "Girl, please come inside."

Siniang nodded and followed Xiao Si in.

When they came to the hall, the eighth master and the ninth master were sitting inside, watching Siniang slowly walk in, and also stepped forward to salute: "Ninth master." Eighth Master. ”

Jiu Ye came over and held Siniang's hand, smiling very happily: "Siniang, let's stay here for a few days first, and after a few days, we will go back to the palace."

Siniang said very gently: "It all depends on the will of the ninth master."

The eighth master came over and said, "Then Miss Li will go to the rest meeting first, and set up a simple banquet for the ninth brother and you tonight."

Siniang nodded, and then the eighth master said to the housekeeper behind him, "Housekeeper, take Miss Li down to rest."

Siniang glanced at it, and then left with the housekeeper.

Looking at the back of Siniang leaving, the eighth master said, "This person seems to be very familiar?"

The ninth master said mischievously: "Starling, sister-in-law is still pregnant with a child for you?" How can I say that I am familiar when I see a girl. I'm not afraid that my sister-in-law will be angry. ”

The eighth master was coldly stunned by this sudden joke, shook his head and said with a smile: "You, go and take care of other girls, I'll go and arrange the family banquet for you in the evening."

The ninth master smiled and said, "Thank you, starling, I'll go first."

The eighth master nodded.

The prince, who was reading in the study, saw a person walking in front of him, looking a little old, he was the husband of the nurse, he lay on the edge of the prince and said a few words, the prince threw the book on the ground with a "snap", but pretended to be very calm and said: "Then let her come out, you know how to arrange it, right?"

The man said, "Got it." And then left.

That night, the Eighth Master's Mansion was lively, the Tenth Master, the Ninth Master, the Thirteenth Master, the Third Master, and the Uncle were all there.

was originally to marry a concubine, why is there such a big pomp?

It seems that everyone knows that this is not a simple wedding banquet, but they all still come as promised.

The ninth master looked very happy, sat on the banquet, and said: "Today is my little day, I am very happy that all brothers and brothers are here to participate, I hope everyone will have a good time tonight, I will do it first." After the ninth master finished speaking, he drank the wine as soon as he finished speaking.

The tenth master felt that it was the best to be able to eat, drink and have fun, and he was naturally very happy. picked up the wine glass and stood up and said, "Brother Jiu, on this day, as a brother, I must not get drunk with you." Looking at the tenth master's confused energy, it seems that it is not okay not to remind, the fourteenth master: "Tenth brother, if you get the ninth brother drunk, the bride will be unhappy, let's let the ninth brother go tonight." ”

"Yes, yes, it's my lack of consideration as a younger brother, and I punish myself." The tenth master drank the wine in his hand, and suddenly heard the voice of the prince: "The ninth brother is setting up a banquet, how can you miss me?"

Everyone stood up one after another and saluted: "Prince."

The prince said, "Well, tonight is Brothers' Night, so don't be formal."

"Prince, sit here." The eighth master gave up his place to the prince, and Xiao Si immediately made up a seat for the eighth master to sit on.

Xueyi stood behind him, and he didn't dare to pant more, although the prince who seemed gentle on the surface always had such an unruly temper.

Xueyi also sat beside the prince, not daring to look up, for fear that he might be jealous of the prince because of who he saw.

The crown prince looked at the food on the table and said with a smile: "It seems that the ninth brother is also very fond of this concubine, and I haven't seen you set up a banquet for any concubine over the years."

The ninth master also smiled, a little deep: "It's rare to get a beautiful girl, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy."

The Thirteenth Master kept his head down and drank, without saying a word, and Xueyi didn't dare to look at the Thirteenth Master, just lowered his head.

The crown prince looked at the thirteenth master like this, and naturally felt very uncomfortable, thinking about what to say to express his joy: "Thirteenth brother, the ninth brother is happy today, why have you been unhappy, do you sigh that you can't find someone you like."

The thirteenth brother smiled mildly and said, "Fate has not arrived, so I can only wait."

The prince laughed: "It seems that the beautiful wife and concubine in the family are not good enough, so that our thirteenth master will still want to marry another room."

The crown prince felt that there was a momentum that had been pressing towards the thirteenth master.

The Thirteenth Master didn't speak, just smiled, but I don't know why the corners of the Thirteenth Master's mouth always looked so sad, Xueyi stared at the Thirteenth Master for a while, but he didn't know that the Prince looked at Xueyi at this time, but the Prince's Lord didn't say anything, just drank wine and kept squinting at Xueyi.

The eighth, ninth, and fourteenth masters all noticed this situation. Only the tenth master was still stupidly eating the vegetables, and he also put a piece of braised pork in the bowl of the ninth master and said, "Brother Jiu, the braised fatty pork you love to eat."

Looking at the stupid appearance of the tenth master, the ninth master also felt that it was time to adjust the atmosphere, and said: "Tenth brother, don't just clip it to me, clip it to the prince and the princess."

Xueyi reacted at this time and looked at the tenth master.

The eighth master said: "The prince, **** said that he wanted to see the princess again, I don't know if the prince can let the princess and his brother go to the inner hall."

The prince looked at Xueyi and said, "I have to ask the princess about this."

Xueyi opened his mouth and said with some joy: "It's just right, I also want to see Bafujin."

Then he stood up and leaned over, and the eighth master also stood up and made a gesture.

After walking a few steps, out of everyone's sight, Xueyi took out his mobile phone, turned on the mobile phone screen, found the photo he had taken, handed it to the eighth elder brother and said, "This is what I secretly took in the prince's room before I came just now." Eighth Master, is this useful? ”

The eighth master took the thing, some didn't believe Xueyi, but he still took the phone to look at it, the eighth master, who had some suspicious eyes, suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows very much: "You got this secretly?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

The eighth master's eyes seemed to be a little stunned, but they revealed a very heavy atmosphere.

The eighth master stared at the phone again for a while, but the screen turned black, Xueyi stepped forward, approached the eighth master, pressed the edge of the phone, the screen was re-lit, and Xueyi unlocked it on the nine-square grid. And he said, "Okay."

Xueyi didn't realize at all that he was so close to the eighth brother in this feudal society, he would definitely be misunderstood, and the eight lucky jin, who was looking at the distance from the attic in the distance, had already seen their move, but he couldn't do anything, and when he was pregnant with a child, it was indeed the easiest for people to take advantage of it, but eight lucky jin thought that the eighth master was the only one who would not cheat, because the eighth master promised him that any future marriage would be discussed with her in advance, but this time, he didn't, so he only secretly cried.

The eighth master put away his mobile phone and said, "Why does the princess do such a thing, although this can ruin your marriage with the prince, it will also make you fall into injustice."

"Unrighteousness?" What's going on, Xueyi, who doesn't understand it at all, is a little confused.

"Eighth Master, can you make it clearer?" Xueyi tried to get the eighth master to sue him, but the eighth master handed the phone to Xueyi, and there was a look of warning: "Put this away, otherwise something big will happen."

Xueyi took the thing: "Can't you really sue sΓΉ?"

The eighth master didn't look back, but said with a half-sideways face: "I think it's better to let your brother Wang himself sue you, let's go."

Xueyi lowered her head and looked at the mobile phone she was holding tightly in her hand, always feeling that something was wrong.
