As soon as the box was opened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the guard door had already put away the saber, Zhou Qi came over to take a look, Zhou Huanting was holding the mouth of the box with one hand, and was looking out pitifully.

"Why are you here?"

"Brother, my legs are numb!" As she spoke, Zhou Huanting sat up straight, massaged her legs with both hands, and looked at Zhou Qi with grievances in her eyes.

Zhou Qi instructed the chain to help Zhou Huanting out, and ordered everyone to rest early and continue to hurry tomorrow. The brother and sister sat opposite each other in the room, "Brother, where are you going?" I really envy you, you take me with me. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, I'll send someone to take you back."

"I don't want it! Now that the palace gate has been keyed, my father and mother must have known that I secretly left the palace, and when I go back tomorrow, am I not looking for a fight? I don't! Wan Ting limped to the bed, "Brother, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, see you tomorrow!" With that, she had already begun to strip her strands.

Zhou Qi and Huanting are compatriots, and they know their sister's temper best, so they had to leave on their own.

"Master?" Chain beat the child and followed Zhou Qi, he also grew up with the two brothers and sisters, and the chain understood why the sixth princess sneaked out, but he was a slave who could only listen to the master's orders.

"I'll write a letter to my father and mother in a while, and you will send someone to the post station tomorrow."

"Yes, princess?"

Zhou Qi looked back at the confined door, "Tell everyone, the princess is going with us." ”

Wan Ting cautiously stuck to the door and heard her brother's command, her heart became happy, and she tiptoed back to bed to rest. Early the next morning, Wan Ting got up early and set off for Huizhou with everyone.

It was already dawn, Wu Yi still didn't wait for Li Laosi, she stood up and moved her muscles, saw the wonton stall from a distance, and suddenly felt empty in her stomach.

In front of the wonton stall, Wu Yi gobbled it up, it was originally discussed yesterday, and he made five or five of the money, but he patronized it and ran away, and he didn't know which bastard was cheaper for the money he won. Wu Yi thought so, ready to take out the money and remit the account, and it was really cleaner than his face when he touched his pocket!

Wu Yi remembered that the few pennies he had were in the pockets of the men's clothes, and he actually threw away all his belongings! Wu Yi slapped his mouth hard, and rubbed himself again, seeing that the boss was beckoning the others and didn't care about this, Wu Yi had to pretend to be calm, and took advantage of the chaos of a large group of guests, and ran wildly.

In front of the gambling house, Wu Yi observed for a long time, and saw that there was still smoke inside, and the sieve cup was rattling, not like waiting for her to throw a net. Wu Yi let out a long breath and walked inward with his legs raised.

"Are you Wu Yi?"

"Huh?" Wu Yi looked at the man vigilantly, but the appearance of a farmer, "You have something to do with me?" ”

"Li Laosi, you know, he was arrested during the curfew yesterday, ask me to find you to keep him out."

"Oh, I was arrested by the government, okay, I know, thank you!"

"Hey, Li Laosi said, the words are here, you can give me two coins of silver."

When Wu Yi heard this, he scolded the street in his heart, but he still smiled on his face, "Okay, okay, this is not how it should be." Saying that, he pretended to pay for it, "Hey, I'm purse, hey." Wu Yi looked around while looking down, "It must be that person, he bumped into me just now, damn, return my purse!" Wu Yi pointed to the person who didn't exist at all, chased all the way, and ran to yesterday's ready-to-wear store, and the person who carried the message was gone.

The ready-to-wear store has not yet opened, across the street, a group of little beggars are competing for a gray gown, Wu Yi looked, it was really an eye-opener, she ran over and grabbed the clothes, and touched them in her pockets, where is there any copper plate, Wu Yi angrily threw the clothes towards the ready-to-wear store, "Your uncle's!" He stood on the street with his waist crossed, and when he calmed down, he picked up his clothes again and went to the entrance of the vegetable market.

After a while, the vegetable market became lively, Wu Yi knelt at the entrance of the vegetable market unkempt, and a sign in front of it read: Sell yourself to bury your father, and the broken mat next to her is covered with a "person", revealing only two trouser legs and shoes and socks stuffed with straw. It was almost noon, the vegetable market was already deserted, Wu Yi planned to collect the stall and go back, but the copper plates thrown to her by the well-wishers in the morning were scattered, and she didn't know if it was enough to redeem Li Laosi.

Wu Yi was picking up the copper plate, two big feet walked to the side, Wu Yi looked up, a man in his fifties was looking at himself with a smile. Seeing Wu Yi raise his head, he raised the money string in his hand, and grinned to reveal a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

Wu Yi looked at the two strings of copper coins with a good eye, knelt on the ground, and bowed as if he had met a bodhisattva, "Thank you, you live a long life!" ”

Then the two began to carry the "corpse", rolled up the broken mat and hitched it on the cart and walked towards the grave circle outside the city.

In the palace, the emperor received a letter from Zhou Qi, Wan Ting finally had her whereabouts, and the father was relieved, but the six princesses' relatives, the emperor had already made up his mind and could never change it. The queen was also relieved when she heard that her daughter had found her, but Concubine Li Guifei was well-informed and went to Kunning Palace in person to comfort her.

"This princess is really, she is about to get married, why is she still like a child, but the emperor is worried, the emperor didn't sleep well last night."

"Concubine Li, the emperor can't sleep well at night with you, you have to be more careful."

"The emperor is with the concubines, come and relax. No, the three princes are helping to deal with government affairs in the court, and the emperor said that he is much easier, but we Zhou Yan said that this is the filial piety of the son of man. Our Zhou Yan is just diligent and filial, unlike the five princes who are blessed and can go outside to play. ”

"The emperor sent him to observe the people's feelings, which is also what he should do as a prince."

"Heh, yes, the fifth prince is the prince of the prince, even if he can't do anything, the emperor is still important. The sixth princess is also a princess, and she will marry far away in the future, which is also for the stability of our Great Zhou, and the people are naturally grateful. It's just that the concubine heard that this Xiliang person is very tough, and I heard that there is a shortage of water there, and she can't take a bath once in her life, and I don't know if the princess will be used to it in the future. ”

The queen's face was already very ugly, "Okay, the princess's family affairs are appointed by the emperor, not for us concubines to discuss, Li Guifei, don't say more!" ”

"Yes, the concubine talks too much, and the queen is not angry."

Li Guifei's deferential and obedient appearance was even more annoying, and the queen forcibly suppressed her anger and ordered everyone to disperse. Everyone retreated, and the abbot walked out of the inner hall, "Why bother with her, but you can't talk quickly." ”

"Where are the two children?"

"Just a day out, you thought? Tie your child to the waistband of your pants and you will be able to do anything in the future! ”

"Dad, if Zhou Si is still here, can I still be so angry here? Zhou Qi is my son, but he has never faced me, always asked me not to fight, I don't fight, he is not even a son-in-law, he doesn't understand, don't you understand? ”

"The eldest prince is naturally smart, but the sky is not a holiday, and we can't change it. The fifth prince has a calm personality, but he is unwilling to participate in court politics. Now that the emperor favors the Li family, the three princes are also ambitious in the court, and they must fight for it, how to fight, and what to fight for is the key. ”

"It's not a day or two that the emperor loves the Li family, my queen's position is still there, and she can only be a concubine! But what about Zhou Qi? Why didn't the emperor let him participate in court politics? ”

"Participating in government politics too early is not necessarily a good thing, and it may be a good thing for him to go out this time."

"What a good! The outside is more dangerous than the palace, and the palace can still protect him, what should he do if he goes out and encounters danger? Dad, did your people follow him? ”

"Sooner or later, the five princes will have to stand alone, he will be with a group of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace every day, what can he do, go out to see the world, and it will be of great benefit to him in the future. The queen doesn't have to worry too much, I think the emperor has the intention to cultivate the five princes this time. ”

"Really?"

"Niangniang, relax, my people have been following the five princes, there will be no danger, if he knows the hardships of the world and the hardships of the people outside, maybe he wants to come back to fight for the crown prince, it is better than him doing nothing in the palace and not getting along with you!"

After listening to the words of the national abbot, the queen was naturally relieved. Here, Concubine Li returned to the palace and discussed with her brother Li Tianshi, the secretary of the household department.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Now the three princes need support in the court, our Li family is just a small family, and it has only been on the rise in the past few years. If we were like the queen's maiden family, my sister would have been the queen a long time ago, and the three princes might have been princes. ”

"Fortunately, my brother is good at financial management, has a first-class mind, and has the emperor's respect, otherwise our mother and son would have been crushed to death by the queen."

"I've thought about it in the past two years, the relationship between the ministers is just that people die for money, birds die for food, and there are only eternal interests in the court, if the three princes can make those officials benefit in the end, then there will be more and more people on his side."

"How do you profit?"

"Either you get promoted, or you get rich."

"How easy is it to get promoted? How many eyes are staring at it, not to mention the emperor, but the gang of the queen's mother's family is eager to catch our faults, how dare they form a gang in the court, didn't you say that you must be cautious and low-key? ”

"So there is still wealth, we used to be just slaves of the hidden mansion, if it weren't for my good management and management of the country's finances, why would the emperor value us so much?"

"Then this wealth is also from the imperial court, and it can't be used by us!"

"Hmph, if we get a court offering, or reach an agreement with the merchant giant armor, won't the money come?"

"Imperial court offerings?"

"Does my sister know about Huizhou?"

"You know, it's said that it's rich there, how can my brother have a way to win a place in such a place?"

"As long as my people succeed in Huizhou and get the imperial court, they will naturally give us dividends, and then the three princes will be like a tiger, what five princes, what queens, what Zaifu, all go cool!"

"Okay, brother, if this matter is done, my brother will be the first credit, and we Zhou Yan will always remember my uncle's assistance."
