Seeing that Xiao Yue kept asking back and forth, the fifth prince's face stiffened, and he said angrily, "Xiao Jiu, what do you mean?" Don't you believe me and Uncle Wang? If you are allowed to do good deeds in your house, you will not allow us to do good deeds? I've got enough money, what are you afraid of? ”

Gu Nian stepped forward and saluted the five princes, "Your Highness said with a smile, these children have just said that my prince has said that they are not the domestic slaves of the palace, and they can't be judged by money, although these children are homeless, they also have parents and relatives, last time you brought someone to go, and the parents wanted to visit, but they were beaten out." ”

"Now, where do these people dare to take people away from you? Money can buy people, but it can't buy flesh and blood, right? ”

"Speaking of which, I still have a question for Your Highness, why don't you let people see your child?"

The fifth prince's face froze unnaturally, and said, "It's just a few cheap slaves, is it worth your brother-in-law to ask me so much?" Sure enough, it was a widow and the eldest daughter who couldn't marry. ”

King Ping accompanied the five princes to come, he wanted to bring people back, but he didn't come to offend Xiao Yue and his wife, seeing that the five princes were talking more and more ugly, he was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly stepped forward to explain,

"Those children contracted the wind and cold within a few days of taking them back, and they were afraid of passing them on, so they are now locked up in the yard to recuperate, so they didn't let them see their parents, and now they want to see them, it's okay."

Xiao Yue wasn't ready to let them go, and asked, "Since you have a cold and will pass it on, why didn't the fifth child move out of the house quickly?" Speaking of which, you are just newly married, does the bride agree? ”

King Ping didn't expect an explanation, but instead turned into a pit for himself to jump, and suddenly he didn't know what to do, so he saw Xiao Yue and said coldly,

"This is my family's good hall, and now it is under the control of my daughter-in-law, fifth child, are you so happy that you can't get along with me?"

"Uncle Huang is most worried about the problem of the displaced people, and now my daughter-in-law is willing to take them in, give them a piece of tile to cover their bodies, so that they can be fed and clothed, what? Old five? Are you here to make trouble? Do you want us to go to the imperial uncle and say? ”

The fifth prince didn't expect him to move out of Emperor Yongping, and looked at him with an unkind face, "You...... Can you? Don't rely on your father to like you, just like you are vain, your daughter-in-law does good deeds, and we must also do good things, what? You used to kill a lot of people, but now you want to accumulate virtue? Are you afraid we'll take credit for you? ”

Xiao Yue sneered, "I just said that these children are cheap slaves, why are you thinking about accumulating virtue now?" Xiao Yue said lightly, "My heart is open, even if I do bad things, it is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, old five, what about you?" ”

In the end, Xiao Yue's voice rose, full of sarcasm.

Hearing these words in the ears of the fifth prince, it was like being caught doing something bad, he came to have a child, but his heart was not right, and he thought that Xiao Yue knew what he was going to do.

His face turned dark, and King Ping on the side snorted and stepped forward and said, "It's all my own brothers, what are you doing with such a stiff scene?" Since Xiao Jiu is in a bad mood today and doesn't worry about us, let's wait until the next time those children's wind and cold are better, and then we will prove ourselves. ”

After speaking, he said to the five princes, "Let's go first." ”

The fifth prince knew that he couldn't please anything today, so he glanced at Xiao Yue fiercely and threw away his sleeves.

Xiao Yue watched them go, and raised his voice behind them,

"Recently, the heavy snow has overwhelmed a lot of houses, and I will write to the emperor's uncle and ask them to repair these houses, which have been registered, if you want to move these people, I will ask you."

The fifth prince stopped when he heard this, glared at Xiao Yue with a gloomy look, turned around, stepped heavily on the ground, and went away angrily.

Gu Nian was puzzled, "What do you say he wants so many people to do?" ”

Xiao Yue smiled, "He hasn't done a good thing in his life, maybe he has some bad ideas, but he can get along with Uncle Wang, let alone think about it." ”

Gu Nian glanced at him, "King Ping...... Is he a good woman? ”

Xiao Yue lowered his head and smiled, he was glanced at by her slanted eyes, and his body was despised by her, since she only cared about her illness, she didn't have any other thoughts, now that she is better, she wants to be eager to try.

But Zhang Chunzi said that he would endure it for another year, which was a torture for him, but she always teased him inadvertently, just like the slanted eyes just now.

Xiao Yue gently squeezed her hand and laughed in a low voice, "King Ping, how much more ...... a good woman"

Gu Nian didn't understand at first, but then he understood and shuddered.

The fifth prince left Gu Nian's good hall, and after breaking up with King Ping, he went to the harem to visit Cheng Guifei.

In the past, the four princes were all the hopes of Cheng Guifei, and now even if he is confined, it is also Cheng Guifei's hope.

When the fifth prince arrived, Cheng Guifei was thinking of sending someone to the fourth prince's mansion with the female officials around her.

This time, the emperor probably lost his temper, and the four princes were not let out of the New Year's reunion banquet.

She blamed the four princesses in her heart, she knocked on the side several times in front of Emperor Yongping, but Emperor Yongping did not let go to release the four princes.

Seeing the five princes coming in, she beckoned the five princes to come and sit beside her with a happy face, and then grabbed the hands of the five princes and said,

"Have you been to see your fourth brother? How is he? Good no good? Did the people in the house snub him? ”

A trace of annoyance flashed on the fifth prince's face, and he said unnaturally, "Mother, don't worry, it's the fourth brother's mansion, how dare you snub him?" ”

"I just came from the fourth brother before I entered the palace, he is very good, and now he is practicing calligraphy, he said that he wants to cultivate himself."

The fifth prince didn't want to hear these words of the fourth prince in Cheng Guifei's mouth again, so he stood up and sat behind Cheng Guifei, "Mother, the child will pinch your shoulders for you." ”

In the past, the five princes were only naughty and mischievous here, and they always annoyed her to nag, and only the four princes listened to her.

But the fifth prince is also her flesh and blood, thinking that as long as the fourth prince is well and sits in that position, no matter what the fifth prince does, there will be someone around, so he will keep saying in front of the fifth prince that he wants to listen to the fourth prince.

She was very happy to see that the fifth prince was so well-behaved and sensible now, and she said excitedly, "Without your fourth brother, you have grown up, and you really still have to go through things." However, we still have to think of asking your father to release your fourth brother. “

The fifth prince lowered his eyelids, slowly pinched Cheng Guifei's shoulders in his hands, and listened to what Cheng Guifei said, saying 'um' from time to time, making people unable to see his emotions.

A few years ago, he met a Taoist priest in the suburbs, saying that she should be the destiny of the king, but his destiny has been covered, and it was his fate that he hit, and if this evil can be broken, he can return to the throne of the real dragon. Otherwise......

He has never believed in these things that the gods and gods are talking about, but the Taoist priest said that he was clear-eyed, and he also said that the evil was a blood relative.

He thought of the fourth brother, and others had never regarded him as a vassal of the fourth brother, and had never looked at him independently.

Seeing that he didn't believe him, the Taoist priest helped him do a small ritual, and sure enough, many people who originally supported the fourth brother turned to his side. And he, in his father's place, is also more and more valued.

This forced him to believe the words of the Taoist priest.

It's just that if you really want the real dragon to return to its place, you still need the human brains of seventy-seven and forty-nine children.

But where do the children go? As soon as the baby in Kyori landed, he was registered as soon as he landed, and there would be trouble when he moved, so he turned his attention to the descendants of the homeless people.

Coincidentally, King Ping also fell in love with these boys, but he did not fancy the human brain of the child, but the body of the child.

Who would have thought that King Ping, who is greedy and lustful, loves the immature bodies of those boys even more.

The two hit it off, anyway, all he wanted was the human brains of those children, and after the body was given to King Ping, he would use it again, and it could be regarded as their sacrifice for the king.

In the Four Princes' Mansion, the Four Princes are practicing calligraphy in the study, and the word 'forbearance' in one place has different fonts, since he was forced to be locked up in the mansion to cultivate his mind because of the matter of the Four Princes' Concubines.

From the day he was imprisoned, he began to write the word 'forbearance'.

Such a time of solitary confinement also allowed him to see clearly the reasons why he failed.

He began to focus only on the crown prince, feeling that the prince was his formidable enemy in that position.

Actually, no, the crown prince is certainly an enemy, but there are still many hidden enemies around him. Even his own brother is eyeing that position.

Even his own princess made a fool of herself at the palace banquet, and the source of the medicine turned out to be a steward beside the five princes.

Not to mention that there are many little things, all of which have their own good fifth brother.

When he was finishing the last point of the word forbearance, there was a knock on the door, and Rong Yue's report came from outside, "Lord Wang, Xu Zhenren asks to see." ”

The fourth prince frowned, "Let him in." ”

I saw an old man in a Taoist robe come in outside the door, bowed down to greet the four princes, and said with sincere fear, "Lord Wang." ”

The fourth prince carefully cleaned the sheep's hair, and said casually, "Xu Zhenren? ”

Xu Zhenren bowed and said with a humble expression, "Poor Dao came this time to thank the prince. ”

He took a breath and said, "Thank you for pointing out the path to the poor road, now the Fifth Highness is using the poor road, speaking of which, this can be regarded as a period of incense." ”

The fourth prince interrupted him with an indifferent face, "You rely on your own ability, what does it have to do with this king." However, now that the king is imprisoned, maybe his father will not let the king out in his life, and the king hopes to put it on his own brother in the future. ”

"If you have nothing to do in the future, you should come to this king's house less often, lest you think that I planned it."

After speaking, he asked Xu Zhenren to take him down.

Xu Zhenren originally wanted to talk to the four princes about what he did with the fifth prince, but he didn't expect the four princes to ignore him.

He looked back at the four princes, opened and closed his mouth a few times unwillingly, and finally left with a sad face.

When Xu Zhenren walked away, Rong Yue came in to help the four princes sort out the scattered ninja characters on the ground, "Lord Wang, do you really want to deal with the five princes?" ”

The fourth prince smiled faintly, "Why is this king going to deal with the fifth brother?" This king is kind enough to fulfill him, this Xu Zhenren is just a Taoist priest who has a halfway monk, has some skills in his hands, and knows a few crooked and evil remedies. ”

"Didn't the princess's family look at me? Want to climb the top five? Then let this side branch of the Xu family climb. ”

Rong Yue pursed her lips and sighed, "Such a liar can get close to the Fifth Highness, it's all up to you to plan behind your back, but who knows that you did it?" If something really happens in the future, it has nothing to do with you, the prince is really calculating. ”

The fourth prince said leisurely, "This king has no plan at all, but the princess's maiden family is dead, and has a relationship with this king?" ”

"Rong Yue, you have been out of the house too often recently, as the king's personal maidservant, it is not good to go out and show your face, from today onwards, you go to the princess to wait."

Rong Yue's face froze, the work in her hand paused, her expression was melancholy, and she said, "The identity of the slave and maid is not visible, and now the prince says that he is disgusted with the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid have nothing to say, so I will pack up and go to the princess's side." ”

The fourth prince put his hands on Rong Yue's shoulders and said softly, "Yue'er, you have been by this king's side for so long, you should know what this king means by letting you go to the princess's side." ”

Rong Yuefu said, "Your Highness's orders don't dare to disobey, the slave will definitely do a good job." ”

The fourth prince smiled faintly.

After Xiao Yue and his wife left Shantang, Gu Nian thought that when he had not been poisoned a year ago, he ordered a mutant peony from another farmer, and he forgot to send someone to pick it up, and he happened to pass by that area when he returned from Shantang, so she and Xiao Yue said that they would go to the flower farmer first.

The flower farmer was a trustworthy person, and Gu Nian paid enough deposits in a single day, but she didn't come to take it, and she didn't sell the flowers.

At this moment, the mutated peony has been transplanted into the flower pot, the leaf veins are slim, and there are a few budding flower bones on it, and the petals are purple-black, which is particularly eye-catching in a flower bush.

When Xiao Yue saw this peony, he was also a little surprised, and it was the first time he had seen such a special peony flower.

Gu Nian smiled and said to Xiao Yue, "How is it, it looks good, right?" ”

Xiao Yue nodded, "It's good-looking." ”

The two were admiring the peony flower, when a girl dressed as a maid walked in, opened her mouth and said to the flower farmer on the side, "Old man, where is the mutant peony?" Our lady has been here a few times......"

When the maid saw Xiao Yue and Gu Nian clearly, she shut up suddenly.

When the flower farmer saw the maid, his expression was a little divided, and he couldn't help but look at Gu Nian and Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue glanced at the maid coldly, and instructed the dark one behind him to pick up the flower pot and go out.

Gu Nian asked Astragalus to give the remaining silver money to the flower farmer.

The flower farmer took the purse with the remaining money and stopped talking.

At this time, another grandmother came in from outside, and her voice was displeased, and she asked the maid, "Cherries, have you got the flowers?" ”

After speaking, he saw that Dian Yi was holding a flower pot in his hand, his eyes turned, and when he saw Xiao Yue and Gu Nian behind him, he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Jin, that is the peony flower that our princess fancies." ”

Xiao Yue looked at the grandmother coldly and said, "Whose peony?" ”

The grandmother was silent for a while, she saw that this posture estimated that the flowers had been bought by Xiao Yue and the others.

However, when she thought that her girl was the fifth princess, she was a genuine prince, much more noble than Xiao Yue, whose surname was Wangke, not to mention, now that the five princes were being used.

She straightened her back and said, "Lord Jin, this is the peony that our princess first took a fancy to, and she is going to be sent to the palace for the queen mother to appreciate." ”

Cherry also remembered at this moment that Zhang Ying's identity was not just a girl from the Guogong Mansion, she said to the flower farmer with an arrogant face, "Old man, my wife is the fifth princess, and I told you well, come and get flowers today, why are you so creditless and sell flowers to others?" ”

The flower farmer didn't expect that the 'lady' in the mouth of this maid turned out to be the fifth princess, Shengdou Xiaomin, even Li Zhengna was also a good life, not to mention the princess, he was scared in his heart, crying with a sad face,

"Girl, the old man said at that time that this peony was ordered by a nobleman, and she gave the deposit, just let the old man help take care of it, and it is already famous."

"You have to let the old man give you the flowers, businessmen are important in integrity, if you don't have integrity, how can you mix in this industry?"

Although the flower farmer said so toughly, his heart was still drumming, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yue with a cold face, and the smile on the corner of Xiao Yue's mouth, only hoping that this pair of nobles could make him retreat.

When Cherry heard what the flower farmer said, she was a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect the flower farmer to be so ignorant, and just about to open her mouth to scold, she heard an impatient 'shut up'

Cherry froze there in fright, Xiao Yue's eyes were cold, and she trembled with fright.

Gu Nian didn't expect Zhang Ying to fall in love with this pot of peonies and wanted to send it to the palace for the Queen Mother to watch.

She said with a smile, "I didn't expect the five princesses to also take a fancy to it, the five princesses have a good eye." ”

After speaking, she paused and continued, "However, I believe that the fifth princess should know that I ordered this flower with this old man years ago, and the deposit was also paid, just so that my grandmother, who was lonely because of my marriage, could be happy." ”

"The Queen Mother is an amiable elder, you must know that this flower is for my grandmother, and it will definitely not be difficult for others."

With that, she looked at the two opposites.

The grandmother and cherry were stunned, they didn't expect Gu Nian to snatch things from the Queen Mother so blatantly.

Gu Nian saw the two of them standing there, and said to Xiao Yue, "Let's go back." ”

Xiao Yue took her hand and looked at them coldly as she passed by the grandmother and cherry.

The grandmother wanted to say something, but when she looked at Xiao Yue's eyes, she trembled with fright and didn't dare to open her mouth again.

Cherry looked anxiously at Xiao Yue's direction where they disappeared, and asked the grandmother anxiously, "Mama Qu, how is this good?" The princess is bound to get the flower, and she has already said it in front of the queen mother, if we can't take it back......"

Mama Qu looked at Xiao Yue's carriage with fierce eyes, her face was calm, and she said, "What can I do?" Just tell the princess truthfully. ”

After speaking, he took the cherry to the carriage of the Five Princes' Mansion.

In the mansion of the five princes, Zhang Ying was sitting on the Luohan bed, listening to Mama Qu's report with her eyes closed, and when she heard the two words Gu Nian, she suddenly raised her hand, flipped the small table on the side to the ground, and said with a calm face,

"Good Gu, dare to grab things with me, come here, set the car, I want to go to the palace to see my aunt and grandmother."

The maid outside hurriedly and cautiously came in to change her clothes, and went to order the car set.

Coincidentally, the fifth prince came out of the palace, and as soon as he came in, he saw something broken on the ground, and the two maids were lying on the ground to pick it up, frowning, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing that it was the fifth prince, the two maids hurriedly got up and saluted him.

The fifth prince entered the inner room, pursed his lips and said, "Who made you angry?" ”

Zhang Ying saw that it was him who came back, her face was full of disgust, she lowered her eyes, and said, "Your Highness is back, I am about to enter the palace, do you want to go together?" ”

The fifth prince said, "Are you going to say hello to the imperial grandmother?" ”

Zhang Ying said coldly, "So what? Isn't it? ”

"If yes, then go, filial piety to the elders is what the juniors should do, if not, this king advises you to think about it with your brain before deciding whether to go or not."

The fifth prince said lightly, his eyes were indifferent.

"Then the Gu family is just a princess with a different surname, so she dares to grab flowers from me, and I can't enter the palace?"

Subsequently, Mama Qu stepped forward and told Gu Nian and Xiao Yue how to grab flowers.

The fifth prince frowned and said coldly, "It's up to you, just don't implicate this king, otherwise don't blame this king for not talking about the relationship between husband and wife......"

Zhang Ying glanced at him with disdain, "Who are you looking like this for?" I don't eat this set, I don't care about your alchemy with children, you don't care how I ......" After speaking, he looked at him with a meaningful face.

When the fifth prince heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he said sarcastically, "How do you know that I use a child to practice Dan?" Are you stalking me? Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts, now your Guogong Mansion is not the former Guogong Mansion, let me restrain a little. ”

Zhang Ying ignored him, took the maid's hand and boarded the car.

The fifth prince watched the carriage go away, his expression gradually became cold, it seems that the progress of the work should be accelerated.

After Zhang Ying entered the palace, she went to the Queen Mother's Yongfu Palace.

Seeing the Queen Mother, I couldn't help but pounce into her words and cry mournfully.

Zhang Ying has been with the Queen Mother for a long time, and the Queen Mother naturally has a deep affection for her, seeing her so sad, she patted her back and said, "What's wrong with Ying'er?" Did the five princes bully you? ”

Zhang Ying shook her head, just crying, and said half-loudly, "They all bullied me, bullied me, and everyone bullied me." ”

She stopped, wiped her tears, and told Gu Nian and Xiao Yue about snatching peonies, and said angrily,

"Then the Gu family clearly doesn't put her aunt and grandmother in her eyes, if she is interested, she should dedicate the peony to her aunt and grandmother, is it that the eldest princess of the country is older than you? Who else in this world is more valuable than you? ”

The Queen Mother patted her hand on the back and paused.

In the past, she liked Zhang Ying because Zhang Ying was very simple and had no heart, although she was a little bit of a noble girl's temper, but it was harmless, and she was willing to help Zhang Ying clean up the aftermath.

But now, Zhang Ying has learned to play tricks, obviously she wants the flower, but she puts it on her.

At that moment, she said lightly, "That Gu family is the princess of Jin, King Jin has always been the heart of your father, and she naturally loves the Gu family, although she is arrogant, but she is also confident." ”

"People say that they have paid a deposit, and if you do it again, you are wrong."

Zhang Ying didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who had always loved her, would not help her, and suddenly, she was silent.

The Queen Mother's heart softened, in the end, she loved the child who grew up, she said, "Don't worry, my aunt and grandmother know, there will always be a chance to help you deal with the Gu family, but you still have to restrain your temperament a little in the end." ”

"You and the five princes are both juniors of the mourning family, and now that you are living together, you have to live well."

Gu Nian and Xiao Yue directly sent the pot of peony flowers to the princess of the protector, and as soon as they returned to the Jin Palace, they saw the great eunuch of Yongfu Palace sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, and when they saw the two of them coming in, they stepped forward and said,

"The Queen Mother heard that Princess Jin's illness has been cured, and she wants to invite the princess into the palace to talk to the Queen Mother."
