008 It's Really Worth That Fourth Brother
That night, Anu stayed outside the camp door all night, and Zhao Xueying personally sent him warm clothes and quilts, thanking him for his two sacrifices to help.
Anu was sold by his parents to a wealthy family since he was a child. He was either beaten or scolded, and often bullied. Only two people regarded him as a human being. One was Wan Yanlie, who couldn't bear him being bullied and eliminated him.
Slave Ji and Zhao Xueying did not dislike him for being dirty, and even gave him beautiful clothes.
Dressed in clean clothes and wrapped in a thick brocade quilt, Anu raised his eyes to the sky. The cold moon emerged from the accumulated clouds and shed its bright light, illuminating his stained cheeks.
The next morning, Lingyin came back from fetching water, put the bucket on the ground, and said loudly: "Princess, Princess, that Qinchao was indeed beheaded by the commander."
Zhao Xueying reminded: "Keep your voice down, be careful with your words and actions, and be careful."
Lingyin scratched her head in embarrassment and said: "Before he died, Qinchao kept saying that he deserved death and should not frame the princess or plot evil against the princess. We finally let out a bad breath."
"He died without swearing?"
Suzune nodded solemnly.
Zhao Xueying once again thought of the tall figure standing in front of her bed. He turned his back to her, condescendingly questioning Qinchao, stripping her of right and wrong.
Including this time, she did not give Qincha a chance to ruin her reputation, and I am afraid it is inseparable from his contribution.
Why does he want to help her, and what is his purpose?
Although she has been far away from the big dyeing vat of the Liang royal family since she was a child, she is the daughter of Prince Fu after all. She is also a royal relative, so it is inevitable that she will not be entangled in right and wrong and intrigues.
If it weren't for their intrigue, how could she have come to this wild place?
Once she was bitten by a snake and feared for ten years, she couldn't trust anyone.
After the master and servant finished washing, there was still some hot water, so Zhao Xueying asked Lingyin to wash Anu.
The maid from the Kingdom of Jin said that she would leave in half an hour, so Zhao Xueying started to pack her luggage. Before she could finish packing, Lingyin pulled Anu in and said with a smile: "Princess, do you think who is this?!"
Zhao Xueying was packing up the books. She straightened up with the books and saw an energetic young man from the Kingdom of Jin being pulled in slightly rudely by the ringtone.
He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a little baby fat on his face. He has a rare good appearance.
Zhao Xueying looked at it carefully and said, "I didn't expect it to be a piece of rough jade."
Anu has never read a book and does not understand what this sentence means. Suzuyin, who is the same age, laughed and said: "I compliment you on your beauty!"
Anu's face turned red and she smiled sheepishly.
The team arrived at Dadu at noon.
Zhao Xueying originally thought she would be sent to the palace by Wan Yanlie, but unexpectedly she was sent to a separate courtyard by a Han official. The Han man's name was Boyan.
In the evening, while Zhao Xueying was reading a book, several elderly women came in with several palace attendants.
Anu and Lingyin stopped them.
Lingyin said angrily: "What are you going to do?!"
The old woman at the head looked around and asked: "Who is the Princess of Liang?!"
"What are you going to do?"
The ringtone didn't give in.
Seeing those people about to use violence against Lingyin, Zhao Xueying stopped her and said, "Stop! I am the princess! Who are you?!"
The old woman said: "I am the Queen Mother's maid, and the Queen Mother invites you to see me."
"What's the proof?"
The old woman took out the token and said, "The token is proof?"
Zhao Xueying didn't recognize any Jin Kingdom tokens, so she looked at Anu, who nodded to her.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Lingyin and Anu tried to follow but were stopped.
Zhao Xueying turned around and said, "Anu can stay, but the maid must follow me."
The old woman said: "No, there are many maids in the palace, so I will never treat the princess badly."
Zhao Xueying sneered and said: "I won't even let you take a maid who has no strength to tie a chicken. This princess really needs to think about whether to go."
The old woman was stunned there. Princess Liang, who she thought was weak and could be bullied, turned out to be so tough. When she came, the Queen Mother said that she should bring Princess Liang gracefully and not to be violent, so as not to make the world laugh.
Thinking of this, she said: "Okay, just as the princess said."
Zhao Xueying looked at Anu, who understood.
When we arrived at the palace, everything here was different from Lin'an. There were no carved dragons or painted buildings, but there were patterns and national architecture unique to the Jin Kingdom. Although the styles were different, they were still as magnificent and magnificent.
In the luxurious corridor, a handsome man walked over surrounded by ministers.
He was full of nobility and had a cynical look on his face. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhao Xueying.
The old woman and the palace officials quickly bowed their arms and saluted from a distance: "See the Seven Wise Kings."
Zhao Xueying met the man's gaze with neither humility nor arrogance.
Wan Yanxuan felt that this woman was really funny, so he stopped, raised his chin to Zhao Xueying, and asked, "Is this the Princess of Liang who came to marry?"
The old woman hurriedly replied: "Yes."
Wanyanxuan smiled and nodded.
"It's really worth doing this, Fourth Brother."
Fourth brother?
She remembered that Wanyan Lie was Wanyan Kang's fourth son. Could it be that he was talking about Wanyan Lie?
Zhao Xueying was brought to the Queen Mother's Palace.
The Queen Mother was teasing some aristocratic women, not at all like a mother who had just lost her son.
According to the information Zhao Xueying had previously obtained, the queen mother's name was Aguli. She was very favored among Wanyankang's many wives and concubines. She gave birth to four sons and one daughter, including the eldest son Wanyanmeng, the fourth son Wanyanlie, and the sixth son Wanyanlie.
Yan Xu, the seventh son Wan Yanxuan, and a daughter named Duoduo.
The man who was called the Seven Wise Kings just now should be Wan Yanxuan.
It is said that Aguli is very partial, especially her youngest son Wanyanxuan.
But no matter how partial I am, I can't help but grieve over the death of my eldest son.
Seeing Zhao Xueying come in, the women in the room fell silent for an instant, all looking at the princess who married him.
A pair of dagger-like eyes seemed to want to eat her alive.
They all dislike her, even hate her.
This is also easy to understand. Who would like a princess from an enemy country who is also a woman?
The Queen Mother said coldly: "She is indeed a beauty. Who should I be betrothed to?"
A woman in coquettish clothes smiled and said, "How about General Kuye?"
Another woman waved her hand and said: "How can this be done? The general is suddenly seventy. Doesn't it mean that the princess is left a widow at such a young age?"
"Then let's go to Sima Ming."
"That won't work, it will kill people. Sima Ming's wives and concubines will either die or be maimed."
"Then..."
