Xiao Jinglou formed an "alliance" with Princess Lanyue and Shen Ming.
"So what if she holds a banquet? We won't give it to her! As soon as her lips touch, we will take out 10,000 taels! A total of 40,000 taels! Isn't she afraid of dying?" Princess Lanyue said.
Xiao Jinlou smiled and nodded.
Shen Ming repeatedly said yes, "That's right, if you ask me to apologize in public, that would be so shameless!"
These two people seemed to have forgotten how they arrogantly insulted the other brother and sister, saying that the other person was disabled and forcing the other person to bet.
Now that others have won, they have become victims.
"Since we are allies, we must advance and retreat together! No one can lose control! Let's see what she can do to us!" Princess Lanyue beat the two of them.
Xiao Jinglou and Shen Ming agreed.
The three of them arrived at the imperial garden.
"Coming, get on!" Fengchun gave the command.
A group of palace maids with fragrant clothes and beautiful temples stepped forward at the same time, saluted Princess Lanyue and Xiao Jinglou, and thanked them loudly.
"Welcome to the princess, welcome to the prince! Thank you princess and prince for the reward!"
The three of them were slightly stunned. They had just arrived. Who had given them a reward? Thank you, this is so inexplicable! ?
But the maids all sang their well-rehearsed voices, which were extremely sweet and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the garden.
The guests who had already arrived looked over.
Under the gaze of everyone, the three of them could only laugh.
But the maids in the palace said in unison: "Thank you, princess, for the reward of ten thousand taels, and thank you, the prince, for the reward of ten thousand taels. Thank you both for keeping your promise."
Fengchun came forward with a lacquer plate in hand, squatted down and saluted in front of Princess Lanyue and Xiao Jinglou.
It was the first time that Xiao Jinglou asked for money so straightforwardly.
Everyone is looking here!
So many beautiful palace maids are squatting and waiting.
He is a man! A man with overwhelming vanity! If he couldn't come up with 10,000 taels now, he would have wanted to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in!
"Easy to say!" Xiao Jinglou was quite prepared and asked his entourage to present the banknote.
He put it with his own hands in the lacquer plate held by Fengchun.
"Thank you, King Hailing——" the maids said in unison again.
The "Attention Ceremony" that everyone admired made King Hailing a little bit elated.
He could see that none of his brothers were treated like this, he was the first! It was worth losing ten thousand taels.
Xiao Jinglou didn't even look at the cracked expression on Princess Lanyue's face - where are the promised allies? What about advancing and retreating together as promised?
"Wen Jin is so cunning!"
Before the banquet even started, her alliance had already broken!
"Huh!" Princess Lanyue snorted coldly, looking past the palace maid and Fengchun with a dark face.
She won't give it! It’s a shame! What can Wen Jin do to her?
Shen Ming tried his best to lower his sense of presence and entered the imperial garden banquet dejectedly.
"The princess guessed right. Prince Hailing gave it to him, but the princess didn't." Fengchun said.
Thirty thousand taels of income!
The little man in Wen Jin's heart laughed with his hands on his hips.
"It's okay. If she dares to make a bet, she has to be prepared to take the money. I've already organized the banquet and she doesn't want to pay? What a beautiful idea."
Wen Jin said, "You and Banxia keep an eye on the entrance to the Royal Garden and don't ask her to leave early."
The apprenticeship banquet was about to begin, and Wen Jin hurried to prepare tea.
Qi Xiu came over from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then he met the emperor.
The emperor and he were king and people, and even more so, friends.
When the two were talking, no one else was present, even Eunuch Gao was standing guard outside the palace.
No one knows what the emperor said to Qi Xiu.
Everyone saw Qi Xiu smiling, his loving eyes never leaving Wen Jin.
It's time to serve tea.
Wen Shengjun, who had never shown up, suddenly appeared.
As soon as he came out, the entire imperial garden fell silent.
Then, a burst of heated discussions broke out!
"Didn't you say that...he is useless?"
"The last time I saw him, he was still in a wheelchair? Why did he stand up now?"
"You're not pretending to be disabled, are you?"
No matter how everyone is talking about it, the Wen brothers and sisters are on an even keel.
Wen Shengjun walked very slowly, and his legs were not fully healed, but this was enough to surprise people.
Especially Princess Lanyue - her eyes widened when she looked at Wen Shengjun.
When Wen Shengjun knelt down to worship her master, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva... In her mind, she imagined what it would be like for him to be her face.
Wen Jin knelt down to serve tea, and when Mr. Qi took out the famous jade pendant and hung it around her neck... the Royal Garden was almost overturned by the crowd.
Everyone's envy, jealousy, and sour words came together, and the buzz lingered for a long time.
"Thank you, Master." Wen Jin said.
"Master should thank you." Qi Xiu called her up.
He used the honey-containing pills given to him by his beloved disciple, and after receiving acupuncture treatment from her, his whole leg became relaxed.
Fame, fortune, money... all come to him, but only health is his own.
Whether others say he is old and confused, or that others are old-hearted and greedy for beauty... Qi Xiu doesn't care at all.
This little disciple is his lucky star! He took advantage of being able to accept her as his apprentice!
"Shen Ming? Is that your name?" Qi Xiu suddenly looked at everyone.
The sour congratulations in the imperial garden suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were looking around, and finally locked on Shen Ming.
Shen Ming was even more flattered... Mr. Qi Xiuqi actually recognized him? ! He actually called his name in front of everyone?
Don't you want to accept him as your disciple? Is this a good thing?
Shen Ming walked excitedly.
Everyone suppressed their laughter, but they were also quite envious.
"I also heard about the bet at the gate of Chongwen Academy," Mr. Qi reminded.
Shen Ming's face heated up... He was being asked to apologize in public!
Everyone burst into laughter, "Shen Ming, apologize!"
Cheers spread everywhere, and Shen Ming wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
He didn't want to embarrass himself in public...but he could see that if he didn't apologize, Mr. Qi wouldn't let it go.
"I'm sorry... I was the one who was offended that day. I'll apologize to Brother Wen!"
Mr. Qi glanced at Wen Jin's face, "What? I'm deaf, didn't you hear?"
Mr. Qi made it clear that he wanted to vent his anger on his disciple...he had to be low-key at this point.
"I'm sorry! I was the one who offended that day! I was wrong!" Shen Ming raised his voice.
Mr. Qi went to see Wen Jin again.
Wen Jin half-smiled and snorted softly.
"No more?" Mr. Qi asked suspiciously, "That's it?"
Bet that day, if you lose, you have to kneel down and call grandpa.
Shen Ming has not forgotten...it's just that this is too humiliating. Will he be able to hold his head high in Kyoto in the future?
If he knelt down or shouted, the Shen family would lose all face.
Seeing this, Shen Huai walked out of the crowd.
He was about to apologize for his useless brother.
"Forget it." Wen Jin said suddenly.
Shen Huai looked at Wen Jin in surprise, his words stuck in his throat.
Wen Jin smiled and helped Mr. Qi to sit down.
Xiao Yuchen took in all of this... He snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as arrows, and shot at Wen Jin.
Wen Jin felt like a thorn in his back. When he looked back, he almost bumped into Xiao Yuchen.
