The boy finally got Tao Zian away and got some clothes for Shen Yibai.
He changed out of the blood-stained clothes on his chest in the private room, and when he walked down the teahouse... he suddenly heard discussions in other private rooms.
"Have you heard? Rumors have been released from the Princess's Mansion, and she will go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion tomorrow to pay a visit!"
"Isn't the princess feeling ill and having to stay behind closed doors to thank guests for several days? Master Shen came to the door three times but was turned away."
"Yes, the imperial master also claimed to be ill and has been absent from the court for several days!"
"Hey, these are all excuses. Mr. Shen wanted to be a peacemaker, but in the end, neither side gave him face!"
"Then who persuaded the eldest princess?"
When Shen Yibai heard this, his face froze and his steps couldn't help but stop.
"Master, let's go..." the attendant advised, why ask for trouble?
"Ma Tusi, a small local official, the emperor's new favorite!"
"Ah? More honorable than Master Shen? It seems that Master Shen is about to fall out of favor?"
"..." Shen Yibai took a deep breath.
Did Shen Yibai get to where he is today just by relying on the emperor's favor? Doesn't he have the strength? Doesn't he have any resourcefulness? snort! It's so disrespectful!
He glared fiercely at the private door that was a crack away... There must be a room full of nonsense dudes!
But then I thought about it... If the dandies in Kyoto are talking about this matter, how can the powerful people in the court not know about it?
I'm afraid everyone is laughing at him secretly, watching his joke!
Shen Yibai was so angry that he walked away.
…
Ma Qiancheng was very excited.
She went back to the inn and told Yue'er in detail what happened at the princess's mansion today.
Military Advisor Yue'er patted her shoulder with great admiration and said, "You are right in making the Imperial Advisor mistakenly believe that you are a princess! This way he will not suspect my mother! You can still see me." Mom, you really have the best of both worlds!”
After Yue'er finished speaking happily, her eye circles suddenly turned a little red.
"Yue'er, do you miss your mother?" Ma Qiancheng asked in a low voice.
"Well," Yue'er nodded generously, "You go tomorrow, look at her more for me... I miss her so much, miss her look, miss her voice, miss her smell..."
Ma Qiancheng's nose felt sore, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "How about you dress up as a boy and come with me?"
Yue'er laughed through tears and knocked Ma Qiancheng's head, "Why are you so stupid just after I praised you? Are you afraid that the princess and the imperial master will not doubt you? How can anyone serve as an emperor and take care of a child?"
"You have to remember, if you want to achieve great things, don't be emotional!"
Ma Qiancheng: "..." Doesn't this hurt you?
She was in her twenties after all, and she was taught a lesson by a little girl again.
The next day, Ma Qiancheng arrived at the princess's residence. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess was quite "caring".
Not only was a luxurious riding outfit inlaid with gold and silver prepared for her, but a white horse was also prepared for her.
Tsk, this horse is so handsome!
He is fat and healthy, and his coat is shiny and snow-white without any variegation.
Moreover, the variety is excellent, the utensils are magnificent, and even the saddle is inlaid with bright colorful gems!
Ma Qiancheng stroked the horse's mane lovingly.
The horse breeder said that this horse has a strong temper and although it has been tamed, it cannot be controlled by anyone.
But the horse seemed to be spiritual, and it didn't reject Ma Qiancheng's caress and closeness to it.
It even kept turning its head and wanted to lick Ma Qiancheng's hand...
"Haha..." Ma Qiancheng felt a little itchy from being licked by it, and couldn't help but chuckle... No, wait!
It rolled its tongue and swept something away from her cuffs? !
Ah! How can this be a good BMW horse? Is this horse a master thief?
While chewing proudly, Bai Ma raised his neck and glanced at Ma Qiancheng disdainfully.
snort!
Ma Qiancheng was so angry that his stomach hurt!
That was the "ginseng yacon" that Yue'er gave her! Although she couldn't see it, she was hiding it in her sleeves. She was afraid... if she made a move, she would be beaten half to death by the Imperial Master, but she could use that treasure to save half of her life!
What a good thing now, I was eaten by this thief!
"Ma Tusi, are you leaving?" the maid from the princess's mansion asked.
Ma Qiancheng got on his horse and was full of energy, but now he could only hold it in.
Fortunately, this horse also knew that "eating people has a short tongue", so it didn't give her a kick along the way, and honestly carried her to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Ma Qiancheng didn't know that after this incident, the princess and the maid were impressed by her.
"Baixue has a proud temperament. Except for the princess, he never lets anyone ride on his back." The maid said, "It seems that this horse Qiancheng is quite capable."
The eldest princess smiled proudly, "I never make mistakes when looking at people!"
…
More than half of the courtyard wall of the Imperial Master's Mansion has been repaired.
The wages are sufficient and the food is sufficient. The craftsmen also want to finish their work early and go home early to celebrate the New Year.
It was a quick job.
Over in the study, the boy came to report, "The eldest princess came to deliver a gift. She said she was here to apologize."
Zhuanxu didn't even raise his head, "She doesn't need to apologize to me. Ah Jin forgives her and doesn't mention this matter."
"yes!"
The boy quickly retreated.
Wen Jin had just drank the flower and fruit tea and was using the heart skills training Chu Jian had taught her to control her consciousness.
Hey, don't tell me, the secret of first meeting really works.
Xiao Yuchen and Yu'er's Taoism all failed in this small world.
Even Yue'er's Taoist talisman doesn't work anymore.
But Chu Jian taught her the secret technique now, but it was very effective and her progress was rapid.
Wen Jin seemed to have seen the light of hope that she could completely defeat Zhuan Xu!
"Sister!" Chu Jian dodged and ran from the door, "That person is here again!"
Wen Jin was slightly startled, "Which person?"
"That's the person who was recognized by Xiaobai as the craftsman of the fortress!" Chu Jian said, "But this time, she came with the eldest princess!"
Wen Jin's eyes narrowed, "Ma Qiancheng, is she coming with the eldest princess?"
"The eldest princess said that she came to apologize, but the Imperial Master refused to see her. The Imperial Master said that this matter is decided by my sister. If my sister forgives her, the Imperial Master will not mention it. If my sister does not forgive her, the Imperial Master will not mention it. I'll give up." Chu Jian looked at Wen Jin eagerly, "Sister, what did you say?"
Wen Jin felt hot in his heart, "Let's go see her!"
When I first saw him, he suddenly pouted, with a somewhat aggrieved expression on his face.
"Let's go?" Wen Jin looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? Who provoked you again?"
"Sister, are you anxious to see the eldest princess, or are you anxious to see that person?" Chu Jian said sourly.
Wen Jin was startled, "Of course... I've seen them all."
"What is your relationship with her? Is she also your good sister?"
"No, it's not..." Wen Jin shook his head and said subconsciously, "I just met a good sister for the first time!"
When I first saw him, he smiled and said, "Then she is my sister's?"
"Old friend... oh no, to be precise, a partner." Wen Jin nodded seriously.
Chu Jian immediately jumped over, took Wen Jin's arm, and rubbed her body, "Sister is the best!"
Wen Jin: "..." This strange desire for exclusivity.
The Flower Hall of the Imperial Prefecture.
The servants served tea to the princess.
Hearing footsteps coming from the door, the princess raised her head with a smile.
The smile froze on her face before it reached the corner of her mouth, "Why is it you?! What are you doing here?!"
