Chapter 42: The Battle of Hundred Flowers(1/2)

Li Xuzhi was chatting with Lin Mengchu when he was in pain and speechless, and happened to catch a glimpse of what Shi was holding in his arms.

"You are..."

"I wanted to ask the Seventh Prince to find a craftsman to help make a new one, but unfortunately, the people under the Seventh Prince said they couldn't do it."

Li Xuzhi asked, and Lin Mengchu somehow blurted out without any precaution.

Li Xuzhi took one in Shi Xin's hand, thought about it, and seemed to have made up his mind.

"If you believe me, leave it to me."

Li Xuzhi raised his head and glanced at Lin Mengchu.

Lin Mengchu thought about it again and again and nodded.

"I'm sorry to bother Mr. Li, but Mr. Li, can you hurry up? I will do it in the next two days."

She must not go to the princess mansion tomorrow. These two things are difficult to deal with after all, but no matter how long it takes, she will not be able to fight for Li Xu.

Logically speaking, the day after she received the title of Hundred Flowers Girl, she should marry Princess Jing.

Hearing that time was so tight, Li Xuzhi responded without moving his eyebrows.

"Second sister, are you back? Did you find anything useful for a walk outside?"

As soon as Lin Mengchu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Furong looked at Lin Mengchu with concern.

"If the second sister has picked out the gift, why not go and pay homage to Princess Jing tomorrow?"

"Thank you for your concern, concubine. I'm afraid I won't be able to go tomorrow. When I went out today, I crippled my foot. It would be disrespectful to Princess Jing if I limped to the princess's mansion."

With that said, Lin Mengchu excused himself to go back to his courtyard to recuperate for a day.

Looking at Lin Mengchu's retreating back, Lin Furong smiled disdainfully, she was satisfied with her efforts, but she was not satisfied for a long time!

One day later, Li Xuzhi indeed sent someone to deliver the two pairs of wood carvings to Shi Xin in advance, and then transferred them to Lin Mengchu.

Lin Meng was shocked when he first saw this pair of identical wood carvings.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuzhi was not only talented in literary and military skills, but also had unique skills in craftsmanship.

Thinking of what the seventh prince's craftsman said, Lin Mengchu's mind flashed with this conjecture: Could this Li Xuzhi be related to the Lu family?

"Second sister, are you ready?"

Before Lin Mengchu walked out of the yard, Lin Furong found the door, as if she wasn't worried about anything strange when Lin Mengchu saw her.

In response to this, Lin Mengchu smiled and said that Lin Furong was being mysterious in this way.

The more Lin Furong shows off, the more Lin Furong disappears in her heart.

However, in her previous life, when she faced her aunt and Lin Furong, she fell too hard and too hard. She was Lin Furong's sister who had stupid and bad grades, and she could not take it lightly.

When Lin Furong glanced at these puppets, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Lin Mengchu put the wood carving into a wooden box and handed it to Shi Xin.

"Since my sister is impatient, let's go."

Lin Mengchu brought Lin Furong to Princess Jing's house.

Lin Mengchu was exposed to Princess Jing's mansion in his early years, so the servants in Princess Jing's mansion knew something about Lin Mengchu, so he invited Lin Mengchu in easily.

Seeing that Xia Chi had now walked into the gate of the Princess Mansion with ease, Lin Furong, with a smile on her face, had a gloomy look in her eyes.

"See Princess Jing, the fifteenth prince."

"See Princess Jing, the fifteenth prince."

As expected, when I arrived this time, I once again saw that the fifteenth prince was still staying in Princess Jing's mansion.

Zhou Xuanxi's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Lin Mengchu. Lin Furong was directly ignored by Zhou Xuanxi when she was next to Lin Mengchu, and she didn't even bat an eyelid.

"You are finally here, and I have many questions to ask you!"

"This time I have to rely on Princess Jing to take care of me, so I went to find some fresh items, so I came late."

Lin Mengchu quickly explained his purpose, and then Shi Xin handed the box in his arms to Xue Sirong.

Xue Sirong showed it to Princess Jing, and Zhou Xuanxi followed suit, opened the box and took a look.

"What is this?"

When Zhou Xuanxi placed the two wooden lions on the table, which were self-taught, the two wooden lions gradually got closer because of the thin rope!

Seeing this scene, Princess Jing was even more quick-sighted.

For Zhou Xuanxi, after a series of contacts, Lin Meng first entered Zhou Xuanxi's heart, which is the same word as "fun".

Zhou Xuanxi put Mu Shi down and grabbed Mu Feng's hand again.

The large wings of the wooden phoenix are combined with pieces of wooden feathers layer by layer, creating a sense of layering and three-dimensionality.

Because the wings were well-knotted, as long as Zhou Xuanxi touched the mechanism, the wooden phoenix flapped its wings dexterously like an ordinary living creature.

Although the two puppets are not colored, their surfaces are polished extremely smooth and have a unique texture.

"Auntie Huang, look, is it fun?"

Zhou Xuanxi is just a child. When facing the person who hurts the most and the person he trusts the most, when he gets something beautiful, he often thinks of sharing.

So, Zhou Xuanxi happily raised the items for Princess Jing to see.

Even with these two points, in fact, Lin Mengchu's banner was all for Princess Jing to see.

As soon as Princess Jing finished speaking, Xue Sirong handed Lin Mengchu the badge.

With this waist card, Lin Mengchu would never dare to stop him when entering or leaving the princess' mansion!

Lin Furong suddenly became very "concerned" about Lin Mengchu, looking like she was troubled by Lin Mengchu's mistake.

"Thank you for your trouble, dear sister."

Lin Mengchu did not answer Lin Furong directly.

Princess Jing's eyes flashed, and she looked at Zhou Xuanxi who was playing with two puppets, and then at Lin Mengchu, but she still didn't say anything.

Zhou Xuanxi, who was having fun, saw this scene and secretly made a face.

It seems that Lin Furong is going to cause trouble for Lin Mengchu, but Aunt Huang is not ready to help Lin Mengchu.

Fortunately, Lin Mengchu's current crime was purely caused by the emperor's aunt.

"Princess, Master Wu would like to see you."

At this time, a guard stepped forward to report to Princess Jing with a slight panic.

Princess Jing's face didn't look good when she heard Mr. Wu call her Princess Jing.

The right way is that officials protect each other, and the way to be an official is to form cliques for personal gain. If you are a clean stream, you will not be able to mix well in the court, and you will be suppressed by others.

But in this turbulent officialdom, an outlier like Wu Yong emerged.

Among the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Yong was the most thorny one.

Once that temper comes up, no matter whether they are relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials, they will treat each other equally and vow to deal with the emperor's illegal crimes and the common people's crimes to the end!

Wu Yong is not a very good-tempered person, but he is a little clever. He really has a heart to serve the people? I think he is a very honest person.

Naturally, when it comes to certain aspects of dignity in the officialdom, Wu Yong thinks they are all nonsense.

So even when Lin Mengchu heard the words "Master Wu", he felt a little frightened, and there was a sudden pain in his temples.

Unlike Lin Mengchu who had a headache, when Lin Furong heard about Mr. Wu's arrival, she was quick-sighted and smiling, and the fun began.

Wu Yong can be regarded as a rare clean stream in the officialdom, so although Wu Yong often offended some powerful people, the emperor always kept him safe.

Otherwise, Wu Yong will die 10 times and 8 times in advance.

However, the emperor was restrained and was troubled by Wu Yong's too upright temper and caused trouble for himself. Because of this, Wu Yong's position was not promoted for a long time.

"Invite Mr. Wu in."

Princess Jing cannot reject Wu Yong.

If Wu Yong has a lawsuit in hand and insists on entering the princess's mansion, it will be Princess Jing's objection, and Wu Yong will try his best to break in.

Instead of forcing her way in and being humiliated, Princess Jing naturally invited Wu Yong to marry into her family to avoid losing face.

"My lord, Wu Yong, please see Your Highness Princess Jing. The princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Wu Yong is in his early thirties, with a very square face, dark complexion, and a very ordinary appearance, but his eyes are clearer than others.

"Master Wu, why are you here?"

Princess Jing did not pay much attention to Wu Yong, but instead protected the fifteenth prince's entertainment.

Wu Yong's displeased brows furrowed, and then he never looked at Princess Jing and the fifteenth prince again. He said seriously:

"Returning to the princess, two misfortunes came to the Yamen today, saying that someone had coerced and lured them away from their family's heirlooms in order to please the powerful. As the prefect of Kyoto, I am powerless. I hope the princess can understand.

"

As he said this, Wu Yong turned around and yelled.
