Chapter 21: The Biggest Winner
In the face of such a two-hundred-and-five princess, Wan'er had no choice, and sighed while setting dishes and chopsticks for her, "Alas, that money can be bought to sit in the palace, so it's cheap Li Zhi." β
"You... What did you say? Jiang Zimu wanted to confirm if he had heard it wrong.
"I said you are so generous, that money can buy a palace."
"You didn't lie... Lie to me? This time she was sure she heard correctly, but she doubted it was true.
"Do you still need to deceive, the facts are here, oh, from today onwards, your food will change, before your monthly silver was one hundred taels, just now the housekeeper said, in the future, your monthly silver will be reduced to ten taels, until the twenty thousand taels are offset."
Roughly calculated, a certain princess will eat vegetables for more than ten years.
"And what about my dowry?" When he got married, Jiang Zimu remembered that he brought dozens of boxes over, and there should be silver.
Wan'er was helpless, "The current use of the palace is your dowry silver, and the next day you marry in, the housekeeper will be ordered by the prince to flush all your dowry." β
Yes!!!
Jiang Zimu's heart is trembling!
What have I done!?
In this war of concubines, Li Zhi became the biggest winner.
not only made two women as white as flowers, but also swept away the prince's money.
Chu Lanchen has no money, how can he support me!?
"Wan'er, call Wu Huang, let's go." Jiang Zimu didn't eat anymore, and rushed to the wooden bridge, going to find Li Zhi to get the letter of resignation back.
"Master, it's getting dark, where are you going?" Wan'er hurriedly grabbed a certain princess.
"Find Li Zhi and ask for the silver back."
"He didn't come to the house today."
Yesterday, Li Zhi took two women back, and Chu Lanchen specially allowed him to take a two-day vacation.
"Then we'll go find him at his house." Jiang Zimu pulled Wan'er and crossed the wooden bridge.
When he arrived at the door, Wu Huang followed from behind.
"The prince has an order, you can't leave the house without his permission." A guard stopped Jiang Zimu, who was bowing his head and rushing out.
"When was the order, how did I not know?" After marrying in, except for returning to the door a few days ago, Jiang Zimu never went out of the door, and he didn't even know that he was under house arrest.
"The day you got married." The guard replied.
Forehead...
After a moment of silence, a certain princess suddenly burst into tears.
She- she felt so happy!
There is no need to go to school, no need to work, no need to learn to do housework, and some people are willing to lock themselves up at home and raise them, for fear that they will run away, and their own mother will not be able to do this.
I just don't know if the food can be brought up in the future.
Alas, they are all self-inflicted.
"Okay, I'll go find the prince to get it." When it comes to his future quality of life, Jiang Zimu is very positive.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the guards, "The princess doesn't have to go, the princess went out in the afternoon and hasn't returned yet." β
"Oh, then I have something urgent to go out, you let me out first, and when I come back, I will tell the prince not to embarrass you."
"Nope." The guard's cold words almost choked Jiang Zimu.
"And what if I insist on going out?"
"Then it depends on whether my knife partner agrees or not." As he spoke, the guard drew a knife.
The cold light flashed, and Jiang Zimu and Wan'er were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
"Master, let's go." Wan'er was scared.
"Wu Huang, can we beat these guards together?" Jiang Zimu asked Wu Huang on the side, although she was also afraid, she was worried that if she was an hour late, Li Zhi might run out of money.
Wu Huang's eyes flickered, "I don't know, why don't we try?" β
"Hmm." Jiang Zimu nodded heavily, taking this opportunity to find a real opponent to try his martial arts. Yesterday, Chu Lanchen was pressed to the ground and there was no room for resistance, and he was stunned that he didn't try his martial arts.
"Wu Huang, don't you teach the master to be good..."Before Wan'er could finish speaking, a master and a servant in front of her had already rushed forward.
Seeing that someone openly provoked the majesty of the prince, the guards only had the blade to face each other - ho!
They are well-trained, to protect the safety of the palace, to maintain order in the palace, and it is their duty to obey the orders of the prince, whether she is a princess or whatever.
"Stop." At the last moment, everyone was stopped by the sound of thunder.
Following the prestige, Chu Lanchen was already standing under the porch, heroic and imposing.
Why did this guy suddenly run back?
Jiang Zimu silently withdrew the leg that kicked out, quickly lowered his head and played with his fingers, not daring to look at him, because his black eyes were like an abyss at the moment, as if he would fall into it at a glance, and he would never be able to climb out again.
"The princess comes with the king." Chu Lanchen's tone was calm, and he walked down the steps and motioned for the guards to retreat.
The guards deserve credit for their loyalty.
"Lord, am I alone?" Jiang Zimu wanted to pull Wan'er and Wu Huang together, even if they were beaten and scolded, they would have someone to accompany them.
ββ¦β¦β
The prince in front walked forward like the wind and did not answer.
Wan'er and Wu Huang pushed their noble princess forward and quickly evacuated the scene of the crime.
In the main hall of the Jin Palace.
Chu Lanchen sat at the table, his right hand supporting his cheeks elegantly, his posture was lazy and leisurely, and his handsome face could not tell whether he was happy or angry, just looking at the helpless girl standing in the hall.
He really couldn't guess where this woman looked like a woman in ancient poetry and books, and the original owner would like such a woman if he was blind.
In the hall, Jiang Zi lowered his little head and did not raise it, after all, it was a loss of a lot of money for the family, which was somewhat unreasonable.
After standing for a long time, she felt that she should find a seat to sit, so she naturally sat on the seat under Chu Lanchen.
Get closer to him, and he can hear everything he says.
"Has the king allowed you to sit?"
Chu Lanchen said "sitting", and Jiang Zimu listened to that sentence as "Does this king allow you to sit here?" β
She silently moved away from him.
If you don't let me sit here, then I'll sit there.
Chu Lanchen, "......"
For a while, the atmosphere was very eerie.
"Jiang Zimu." Seeing that the woman was shaking the tassels on her embroidered shoes again, Chu Lanchen felt that if she didn't speak again, she would be like a cat playing with her tail in a circle, enjoying herself.
"Yes."
"Yesterday you offended the king, and today you attacked the king's guards, and you say, is it better for the king to behead you or bury you alive? Well~? β
Chu Lanchen's dark eyes were half drooping, and his voice was very gentle, as if he was asking her what she was eating at night, but the "um" was very long, low and high, not angry and arrogant.
With what he said, the lethality is 99 percent.
οΌοΌοΌ
The girl's whole body froze, and beheading and burying her alive were not considered natural deaths.
She's still young and a child, she hasn't been in a relationship yet, and she doesn't want to disappear in two worlds!!
"It's not good." Jiang Zimu muttered three words with two petals of powder lips, and a clear spring in his eyes seemed to overflow, and he was so aggrieved.
Chu Lanchen tasted the tea sent in by the little maid, and didn't make a sound, but the afterglow took in the naΓ―ve appearance of the girl in the hall, and a smile flashed on his face that he didn't even notice.
Jiang Zimu was also peeping at Chu Lanchen, although he said cruel words, his face was fine, and he was still very handsome.
