At this time, at the gate of Hengyang Guiwang's Mansion, three people walked, a man and two women, looking miserable and exhausted. There were still some faint blood stains on the man's chest, obviously injured, and he kept covering his mouth and coughing. One of the women was carrying a sword. These three people are Wang Wanting, the daughter of the martyred Wang County Order of Qingyuan County, the maid Qiao'er and Xing Fei. When Zhang Xianzhong's thief army broke the city, Wang Xianling hurriedly ordered his subordinates Xing Fei, who was the strongest in martial arts, to escort Wang Wanting and Qiao'er out of the city and go to Hengyang to seek refuge with his cousin Gui Wangfu's princess.

"Who? Hold it! The guards of King Gui's Mansion saw that Wang Wanting and the three of them were downcast, and they took a weapon and drank it very nervously.

"If you trouble the two of you to go and report, you will say that the princess's niece has come to visit." Qiao'er brushed her clothes and replied.

"The Princess's niece? There are two princesses in our palace, I don't know which princess the young lady is looking for? When the guard heard that it was a relative of the princess, he didn't dare to slack off and asked.

"Concubine Gui's Mansion, Princess Wang." At this time, Wang Wanting also stepped forward with a sword.

A guard named Liu Qiang saw that Wang Wanting's sword was the Longquan that the little prince Zhou Renyuan used to bring, and exclaimed, "Could it be Miss Wang?" "The little prince vomited blood for Miss Wang, it can be said that the people of Manchu all know about it, and they are all moved by the little prince's infatuation, and they are also sorry for Wang Wanting's bad news. Who knew that Miss Wang was not dead, but she actually came to Shangfu.

"This is my Miss Wang." Qiao'er replied from the side.

"Oh my God!" Liu Qiang shouted, and hurriedly ran into the house, shouting as he ran, "Miss Wang is still alive!" Princess! Rajah! Miss Wang is still alive! ”

Zhu Changying was in the study to discuss with the prince Zhu Youying about asking him to retire from the field and recruit troops two days ago, Wang Fuzhi brought Zhou Renyuan to ask him to retire from the field and recruit troops.

The conversation between the two was at the beginning, and they suddenly heard Liu Qiang's voice screaming outside. Zhu Changying's face sank, and he said unhappily, "The current guards are really more unruly, what are you shouting about?" ”

Zhu Youyan said softly, "Father, it seems that Miss Wang is still alive!" ”

"Miss Wang? That Miss Wang? Zhu Changying muttered, and suddenly, his body shook, and he hurriedly asked, "What Liu Qiang shouted just now is Miss Wang still alive?" ”

"Seems to be." Zhu Youyan replied.

"Quick! Fast! Get out there and have a look!" Zhu Changying hurriedly stepped out of the study.

"Liu Qiang, what's going on?" Zhu Changying drank.

When Liu Qiang saw that it was Zhu Changying and Zhu Youying, he was out of breath, and hurriedly kowtowed and reported, "Lord Yu, the princess's nephew, Miss Queen, is here." ”

"Really? You said that she was not only alive, but also came to the house? Zhu Youyan pressed Liu Qiang's shoulder excitedly.

"Hui Shizi, really! They are right in front of the palace! Liu Qiang's shoulder was pressed by Zhu Youyan.

"Quick! Go and call your mother to the front hall to greet you. Zhu Changying also excitedly instructed Zhu Youying.

Zhu Youyan hurriedly responded, and quickly went to the back house to inform his mother.

Wang Wanting and the three of them waited at the door for a while, only to see the main gate of the palace slowly open, and the two maidservants walked out of the gate and saluted them, saying, "The princess ordered the slave and maid to welcome the young lady into the mansion." ”

When Wang Wanting and the three of them walked into the front hall, they saw a lady in palace clothes come forward and hugged her, crying bitterly, "My poor son! Wang Wanting knew that this was her aunt Wang, thinking of her father and what had happened these days, she couldn't help but feel sad and cried bitterly.

"Mother! It is a happy event that the girl will not die and return safely! Mother concubine must not be sad anymore! Zhu Youyan hurriedly persuaded.

Princess Ma and Concubine Liu Rusi also stepped forward to comfort her.

Wang nodded, wiped his tears, helped Wang Wanting up, and said, "Wanting, don't be sad!" Now that you've arrived at your aunt's, settle down! My aunt won't let you suffer the slightest grievance. ”

"Thank you, aunt!" Wang Wanting choked up.

"Look at my brain, quick! Wanting, come and meet your uncle, second aunt, cousin and sister-in-law! Wang said hurriedly.

Wang Wanting led Qiao'er and Xing Fei to meet one by one. Ma Shi saw that Wang Wanting was now in a depressed shape, but after all, she couldn't hide her beauty and temperament. couldn't help nodding secretly, his son really had a vision. She glanced at Zhu Changying, and it happened that Zhu Changying was also looking at herself, and the two couldn't help but smile, there was a tacit understanding in their hearts, this Wang Wanting was her second daughter-in-law in the future.

Zhu Changying was still old and sophisticated, coughed lightly and said, "The niece and her party are already tired, and the princess hurriedly ordered someone to ask them to freshen up and rest." Besides, I see that this Xing Zhuang has injuries on his body and needs to be treated! Let's talk about family after a break. ”

"Yes! Be! It's still thoughtful and thoughtful! Wang hurriedly replied.

In the wing room, Wang Wanting and Qiao'er had already finished freshening up, and the two of them had recovered some of their spirits, and their faces were a little ruddy. Qiao'er looked at the furnishings in the wing room and sighed, "Miss, this palace is magnificent." Seeing that Wang Wanting didn't answer, she said again, "Miss, why didn't you pick up that person today?" ”

"Who?" Wang Wanting's face turned red and smacked her.

Qiao'er's heart was only thin-skinned, and she whispered at the moment, "It's that little prince." ”

"Didn't you see it, little prince?" Wang Wanting still pretended not to understand.

"Miss, don't pretend to be stupid, obviously you are in a hurry, and you deliberately say this. How about I ask the princess later? Qiao'er laughed.

"You girl is getting more and more unruly, how can you ask the little prince as soon as you come up? You're not ashamed, I'm still ashamed! Wang Wanting said bitterly. In fact, she herself also wanted to know why Zhou Renyuan didn't appear today.

At this time, Wang's maidservant said outside the door, "If the two young ladies have finished grooming, please come with me." ”

The two came to the front hall just now, and only Wang, Ma and Liu Rusi were waiting for them. As soon as Wang saw Wang Wanting, "My God, such a beautiful little girl, no wonder Xiao Si'er can't forget it!" Sister, you're in good luck now! She turned to Ma and smiled.

Ma Shi smiled and responded with a smile, "That's still thanks to my sister!" ”

Wang Wanting watched her aunt and Ma sing and harmonize, knowing in her heart that what they were talking about was about herself and Zhou Renyuan, and her pretty face was flushed with shame.

Wang took Wang Wanting's hand and said, "Son, speaking of which, I have only seen you twice, once at your first birthday banquet, and once three years ago, your father took you to Qingyuan to take up a post and came to visit the prince by the way. Thinking of your father and my poor brother, I--" Wang became sad again, "Your father is upright by nature, your mother died early, and he took your little girl to serve in Qingyuan County, in order to avoid suspicion with me, the princess, I am afraid that people will say that he relied on me to become an official, and he refuses to serve near Hengzhou, if he does not go to Qingyuan, your father will not--" Saying this, Wang's tears flowed.

"Mother! The deceased is gone, and God has mercy on Lord Wang's loyalty, so I don't send my sister over! Liu Rusi persuaded him.

Wang Wanting saw that the Wang family really loved herself, and hurriedly persuaded her, "Auntie, my father is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and it is the glory of my Wang family!" ”

"Well said!" Zhu Changying brought Zhu Youying and Xing Fei in, and when she heard Wang Wanting's answer, she couldn't help but admire.

As soon as everyone in the room saw Zhu Changying coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

"My niece's words are really knowledgeable, it seems that my brother-in-law teaches you well on weekdays!" Zhu Changying sat down and touched the three wisps of clear beard and continued. He originally thought that Zhou Renyuan took a fancy to Wang Wanting because of her beauty, but he didn't expect Wang Wanting to say this, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Wanting again.

"By the way, Wan Ting, I talked to Xing Zhuangshi just now, why was the injury on his body injured by officers and soldiers?" Zhu Changying asked.

"This ---" Wang Wanting hesitated.

"Back to the prince, the injuries on Brother Xing's body were injured by those thieves and soldiers!" Qiao'er saw that Wang Wanting was inconvenient to answer, so she hurriedly replied.

"What are the thieves and the officers and soldiers?" Everyone was confused by Qiao'er's words!
