Chapter 428 The Little Princess Awakens Her Powers

The next day, in the Imperial Garden.

"My Lady, the former Queen is in the dungeon. She managed to put a chain around her neck and strangled herself to death."

"Um."

Lu Wanyin was busy with the work at hand. She just responded lightly and continued to make a wreath for the little girl.

An ambitious queen died in such a miserable way in a dirty dungeon without causing any ripples.

Two days later.

"My Lady, the former Emperor also died in a dungeon from starvation."

Lu Wanyin sighed: "Forget it, let's just deal with the remaining one."

There is no need to waste time on Duke Xuan of Qi who knows nothing.

She now felt like she was surrounded by a hundred ducks, it was so lively.

"Empress, Master, Boss, our family is poor—"

Hou Yuanji has been going to the palace too frequently these days.

He always brings some little gadgets.

Xunzhou and Zhiyu are already three months old, and are at the age when they are very curious about the things around them.

Xun Zhou lost interest in those things every time he took a look at them.

Zhiyu, on the other hand, was always amused by him and laughed so hard that she never got tired of it.

Hou Yuanji was teasing Zhiyu with a grasshopper woven from leaves in his hand. As he teased him, he kept complaining, "Boss, this life is simply not a life for human beings.

I have to attend court during the day, and after court, I have to do hard labor.

Look at my waist, I can hardly stand up straight, it’s so tiring.

That's millions of taels of silver. I have to move there in my next life."

When he was in exile, he owed Lu Wanyin several million taels of silver just for a few bites of food.

Although Lu Wanyin returned part of the money later, the rest was somehow discovered by Mr. Hou, who kept urging him to pay it back.

There are also two shops originally owned by the Hou family in the imperial city.

Land is very expensive in Huangcheng now, and the locations of those two shops are not bad.

If Hou Yuanji had not compensated Lu Wanyin, their Hou family mansion would have been built long ago.

He didn't want to be a waste, but his annual salary was so little that he couldn't afford to pay it back.

He just shamelessly acted like a rogue in front of Lu Wanyin.

It was someone like Hou Yuanji who conquered the world with Lu Wanyin.

No one else would have the courage to do this.

Lu Wanyin listened to him crying with an expressionless face for a whole hour, and then she couldn't help laughing out loud.

She took out two deeds from the space and said, "Here, here, here. Look at how useless you are."

Hou Yuanji chuckled and took it impatiently. He took a look and wondered, "Why is one from Zizai City and the other from the Imperial City?"

“The Marquis’ Mansion is too small and unworthy of your current status.

After the King of Qi died last year, there were not many people living in the King of Qi's Palace.

Before Your Majesty ascended the throne, he took the opportunity to deal with the palace, and this period of time is just right for him to rest and recuperate.

You and Mr. Hou will live there from now on.

As for the other set, didn't you say before that you wanted to settle in the wilderness?

This is one of the best houses in Zizai City. If you and the old man want to go there in the future, you can go there anytime.

If you want to live in the mountains, there are plenty of houses. If you want to live at the foot of the mountain, we won’t treat you unfairly.”

Hou Yuanji held a piece of paper in his hand, opened his mouth, and suddenly burst into tears.

He looked at Lu Wanyin with tears in his eyes: "Boss, you are so good to me. Besides grandpa, you are the best person to me in this world."

"Alright, alright, it's shameful for a grown man to cry like this."

Lu Wanyin rubbed her arms in disgust: "If you cry again, I will take back the deed."

Hou Yuanji chuckled, clutching the two deeds, and ran off: "Boss, I'll come see you next time."

Lu Wanyin got a headache when she heard his voice.

Don't come here anymore.

Their rebellion was so successful because of Hou Yuanji's chaos in the capital.

Lu Wanyin has never been someone who would treat meritorious officials unfairly.

Some things just aren't ready to be given away yet.

As a result, a funny story occurred in the capital that night.

Hou Yuanji, a famous playboy in the capital, was chased through two streets of the imperial city by Old Master Hou in tears.

While chasing him, he scolded: "You actually went to ask the Queen for something, do you have any shame? You are shameless yourself, and you are bringing shame to my old Marquis family!"

Lu Wanyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This old man is quite lively."

Liuying laughed along: "Is she more lively than the little princess?"

Lu Wanyin felt her head hurt even more.

Xunzhou and Zhiyu are only three months old, but they can already crawl everywhere.

Especially when holding the jade, his movements were extremely agile and he hid it very well. He would disappear if you weren't paying attention.

The old lady played with the two dolls several times and almost had a heart attack.

Several times, we had to ask Lu Wanyin to come and use plant powers to find where she was.

Fortunately, the animals and plants in the petting zoo are almost all their bodyguards.

As long as we are in this garden, no accidents will happen.

Another month passed, and it suddenly snowed in the capital.

The entire palace was covered with a layer of silver.

Lu Wanyin took a breath of cold air.

Everyone in the palace wore the extreme cold weather clothes she gave them, which did not hinder their work at all, and they were more excited about playing in the snow.

As soon as you walk out of the temple, you can hear lively laughter.

Lu Wanyin was in a very good mood. She left the palace and prepared to take a walk around the imperial kitchen: "This kind of heavy snow is perfect for stewing a goose in an iron pot."

Now go to the kitchen and find someone to prepare the ingredients. When Xie Jingci comes back from court, the iron pot will be ready.

Just as Lu Wanyin made up her mind, Xu Yuan came running over from a distance, looking anxious.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her: "My lady, this is bad. The little princess is missing again. The old lady is getting very worried."

“You haven’t found it yet?”

Lu Wanyin decisively changed direction, glanced at the palace servants nearby, followed Xu Yuan, and ran quickly towards the petting zoo.

In a moment, she was beside the old lady: "Don't worry, grandma, the little girl is naughty again. Sit down and rest for a while."

She asked Xu Yuan to help the old lady sit down, her mental power spread out, and she looked stunned: "How is it possible?"

The old lady's heart was lifted again: "What's wrong? What happened to Anle?"

Lu Wanyin softened her expression: "Grandma, it's a good thing."

She stood there, looking at a vine only ten meters away.

Covered in snow, the vines are still green and juicy.

Even at the very top, a large number of tender sprouts emerged, like a small umbrella, covering the swing below.

Lu Wanyin smiled in surprise: "This little girl is quite amazing."

"What"

Everyone followed her gaze and looked upwards.

Then I saw the umbrella made of vines swaying gently.

Lu Wanyin smiled and patted the vine lightly, and the little girl's cheerful laughter actually came from above.

The old lady was panicked: "How did she get up there?"

"Superpowers, plant powers, just like mine."

Lu Wanyin raised her hand, and a light green light appeared in her palm.

A green umbrella from high above slowly descended, stretched out towards Lu Wanyin, and dragged the little girl in front of her.
