When leaving Cao's house, Wang Xiu was carried out by Lu Yunhong.
Seeing her obediently nestling in Lu Yunhong's arms, the eldest princess asked curiously: "She looks like this when she's drunk?"
Lu Yunhong smiled and said: "General Cao's wine is too strong. It's already good for her to have a drink, so now she can't make a fuss even if she wants to."
The eldest princess said: "Take her back to rest quickly and prepare some hangover medicine to prevent her from getting drunk and uncomfortable."
Lu Yunhong nodded slightly, said goodbye to them, and got into the carriage.
Wang Xiuze arched her arms in his arms, hugged his waist clingingly, and murmured that she wanted her husband to accompany her.
The prince slowly looked over, only to see Lu Yunhong put down the curtain and asked Wang Xiu with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It won't feel uncomfortable if you hold her." Wang Xiu replied vaguely, but his voice was soft and charming, as if it hit the apex of people's hearts.
Lu Yunhong chuckled, and then hugged her tighter.
The sound of the wheels turning was heard, and the wind blew the curtains, revealing the general scene inside.
Lu Yunhong was holding someone in his arms, sitting upright, and looked up.
That look was calm and calm, as if the smile just now was fake.
The prince looked away, wondering what he was thinking of? The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but he sighed helplessly.
The eldest princess left Zhao Annian in the Cao Mansion. When she left, she always felt that something was missing. Fortunately, the prince was with her, so she didn't seem very disappointed.
Wang Man then went home on his own. Because he understood Cao Ce's character, he no longer worried about the current situation in the court.
After the eldest princess and the prince got in the car, they went straight back to the palace.
What a coincidence, it started to rain as soon as we arrived at the entrance of the East Palace.
Hua Zimo held an umbrella and stood with Yu Deshui in the rain to greet them. When they entered the East Palace together, they felt the rain hitting the sweet-scented osmanthus, and the fragrant fragrance filled the courtyard.
The eldest princess took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Axiu likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. If I had known, I would have asked the palace servants to pick more and keep them. It is a pity that they have been left behind now."
After hearing this, Huazimo quickly said: "There are plenty of them in the East Palace. We won't be able to use them all just for making pastries. If Madam Wang likes them, you can send some to us."
The prince asked: "Besides eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake, what else does she like to eat? I'll give it to you as well."
The eldest princess said: "I like tea cakes too, as well as five-color glutinous rice balls and crystal buns. Anyway, she likes all the delicious ones."
The prince said: "If we vacate the East Palace, we can just choose her favorite tea and sweet-scented osmanthus."
The eldest princess did not expect that her younger brother would also joke, and said calmly: "It seems that you also like Axiu very much, do you think of her as a sister? What a pity, she has five brothers, and you are the only one missing."
The prince's eyes moved slightly and he sneered, "That's bad."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the room.
The eldest princess followed him closely and said, "Is it because you are the prince and very powerful?"
The prince was silent, not because he was very powerful, but because only in this way, he felt that his bond with the Wang family was deeper, so even if he protected the Wang family openly, it became a matter of course.
When the eldest princess saw that her younger brother was silent, she thought he was embarrassed to argue, but she did not continue to undermine him.
Soon, the siblings sat down to drink tea together.
The tea maker was Qingfeng. When the eldest princess saw him for the first time, she thought the child was quite good-looking, so she said casually: "Axiu likes these good-looking young boys. Take him with you to teach him something."
, or sent to school, she seems very happy."
The prince glanced at Qingfeng, who quickly lowered his head, looking very embarrassed.
The prince said: "Last time I said I would leave Yu Deshui to her, but the Wang family and his son were so scared that they dared not agree. Pei Shan also said that Lu Yunhong would be jealous."
The eldest princess smiled and said: "Lu Yunhong is still jealous of Pei Shan. What's so strange about this?"
The prince said: "So I don't plan to let anyone live next to the couple, lest they blame me if they quarrel in the future."
The eldest princess couldn't stop laughing and said quickly: "Listening to your resentful tone, someone who didn't know better would have thought you were an evil mother-in-law?"
Then the prince gave him a cold look.
But the eldest princess smiled even more happily, as if she hadn't been so happy for a long time. At this moment, she seemed to have returned to her childhood.
At that time, she and the prince were still living in Qinzheng Hall without any worries. Apart from studying, they spent most of their time fighting over things, from toys to jewelry, from beds to tables and chairs, they fought for and grabbed everything.
But the moment you grab it, you are not filled with joy, but you have to see the other person cry before you can laugh successfully.
Just like now, what she cared about was not her brother's cold eyes at all, but behind the cold eyes, she seemed to see the brother who was arguing with her endlessly, but also lively.
Over the years, power and marriage have gradually changed their original appearance. The eldest princess did not remember that she had laughed purely like this for a long time, but at this moment, she really felt that she was much more relaxed and no longer lived such a depressed life.
In the tea room.
Qingfeng asked in a low voice: "Who is the Axiu that His Royal Highness is talking about?"
At this time, Qingfeng already had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
Yu Deshui explained: "She is Mr. Wang's daughter, Mr. Lu's wife, the Madam Wang who saved me before."
Qingfeng looked like he suddenly realized it, but actually he was thinking in his heart that it was indeed her.
He asked quietly: "The prince gave her the white-tailed snake. Is that snake still alive?"
Yu Deshui shook his head.
Qingfeng's eyes dimmed, and his whole person became much weaker.
But Yu Deshui then added: "It should still be alive. Madam Wang is kind-hearted and will not kill at will."
Qingfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Then can she really detoxify the white-tailed snake?"
Yu Deshui said: "It should be possible. When I was poisoned before, I seemed to have heard from Ambassador Sun, but that kind of snake venom is a bit more complicated. No one in the capital has been bitten yet."
Qingfeng nodded slightly and said nothing more.
White-tailed snakes are hard to find, let alone bitten. Even if you want to look for this kind of snake, you can't find it. And it will get cold soon, and the snakes will hibernate by then, and they will basically be invisible.
These days, he tried hard to adapt to everything in the East Palace, and also knew the identity of the Saint in the palace. Qingfeng thought, he must find an opportunity to go to Huilan Palace and ask the Saint to help him detoxify the poison in his body.
.
Just when Qingfeng was thinking about it carefully, little did he know that Concubine Hui was asking someone to verify his identity privately and was preparing to use him for her own use.
…
His Royal Highness the Prince went out to the palace for a banquet and came back very happy.
People inside and outside the palace got the news and found out that the eldest princess had left her son in the Cao Mansion.
It was at this time that everyone suddenly realized that the Cao family also had a child with royal blood, Zhao Annian. This also explained why the emperor and the prince changed their normal behavior and handed over the military power of the Xishan Camp to Cao Ce.
Now that the Wang family and Lu Yunhong and his wife are also invited to the banquet, it means that they are allies and ministers loyal to His Royal Highness. Since they are all from the East Palace faction, there can be no internal strife between the Cao family and the Wang family.
This news made many officials who were ready to take action feel more at ease.
Among them is Zhongyong Bo Mansion. Zhongyong Bo Zheng Zhiyong decided that he could no longer be estranged from the East Palace. If a daughter and a grandson were not enough, then he was willing to send his youngest daughter Zheng Sihan to the East Palace.
On the surface, he was naturally using the excuse of taking care of his grandson, but in fact, he was getting close to the prince and gaining his favor.
Zheng Zhiyong was disgusted with his eldest daughter's stupidity and recklessness, but he felt that his younger daughter was very smart and would definitely win the favor of the prince if she entered the palace.
Having made up his mind, Zheng Zhiyong quickly asked his servants to call his little daughter and discuss it carefully.
However, what he didn't know was that at this time, Zheng Sihan was losing his temper because he couldn't find the white-tailed snake. Not only did he not go to see him, he also disguised himself and went out of the house to go to the black market in the capital.
