"Sir Wen, to be honest, there have been rumors circulating from somewhere in recent days that the harem has been privately doubting the identity of the third prince." Emperor Zi'an said.
After hearing this, Master Wen looked at A Bao who was sitting on the ground and asked, "Tenth Princess, did you just say that the Third Prince was replaced by my wife?"
Xu stared at Abao with a pale face.
Like a fierce ghost.
Po gave her a look, letting her figure it out for herself, then nodded his head at Master Wen, "That's right!"
I heard that the Lord was paralyzed and sitting on the ground, as if he had been struck by thunder.
Po scratched his head, picked up the little black dog and started to train it.
"Xu Xin, isn't the third prince Jiao'er's son?" Lord Wen looked at Xu in astonishment.
Xu's mind was no longer working.
Just know how to cry.
"Xu Xin, Xu Xin, you...how dare you? That's the heir to the throne! The heir to the throne!!" Lord Wen staggered to Xu's front and grabbed her collar in anger, "You even dared to set your sights on the heir to the throne, you even dared to touch the emperor's child, you...you want to destroy my Wen family and make my Wen family extinct before you are satisfied?"
"Master, I...I didn't mean it. Back then, Jiao'er..."
The baby was stillborn.
The Wen family has no power or influence, and Lord Wen is upright and honest, and he does not get close to important officials in the court.
Hui-bin had just married into the palace and her position was unstable.
In order to consolidate her daughter's status and for the Wen family to have a foothold in the court, she gave Hui-bin an idea and gave her a boy.
This boy is the current third prince.
"Oh my God!" Lord Wen burst into tears. He had been an honest and upright person all his life and had never done anything to let down the royal family and the emperor. He never imagined that the emperor's child was actually swapped by his wife herself. He felt so sorry for the emperor and was unworthy of being a subject.
Ah Bao yawned, and seeing the gold and silver that had been counted beside her, she stood up, patted her butt, and said, "Congee, porridge."
She looked at the little black dog beside her, "Ni, come with me, eat some porridge together."
The little black dog was reluctant, but for some reason, as soon as Abao opened his mouth, it couldn't help but start to listen to Abao.
It was as if A-Po’s mouth was blessed.
The little black dog followed behind Po.
Anyway, my master is in jail, so I'll just follow the little girl.
"Hey, wave." Po waved his hands to the adults, wondering when they might see each other again.
【May the Lord wish you the best】
"Tenth Princess, take care." Lord Wen knelt on the ground and kowtowed, walking with each step as he saw Abao off.
Po blinked his big eyes and walked very slowly.
Lord Wen's head is buzzing at the moment. He always feels like he has forgotten something?
Until I saw the Tenth Princess's very slowly walking figure and the two super shiny gold locks hanging around her neck.
Lord Wen slapped his thigh and understood.
Others have given locks as gifts, so why wouldn’t he?
We can't let the Tenth Princess down.
"Go and get it." Lord Wen winked at Xu.
Of course Xu understood.
Right now, there is only one valuable thing in the Wen Mansion, and that is a gold lock, which was passed down to her by the old lady.
Naturally, Xu was reluctant to take it out.
But Xu had no say at this time.
Lord Wen put the golden lock around Abao's neck.
Although Abao is chubby, his neck is very thin.
If she hadn't been wearing a cotton coat and a red scarf, her small neck would have been too thin to support the three large gold locks.
Abao grinned with satisfaction.
[This wave is not bad, another big gold lock is coming! 】
[It turns out that officials like to give big gold locks as gifts, and officials’ wives like to give gold keys as gifts]
[I already have several keys now hehehe]
Here, Abao was grinning with joy, while there, Di Zian's mouth twitched speechlessly.
My sister is a money-grubber.
After leaving the Wen Mansion, Abao's little hands were also busy.
Pulling and counting.
All that's left is to take off my socks and use my toes to settle the score.
[After I became an adult, my brain sometimes doesn’t work anymore, I can’t even do the math]
Abao lowered his head and pouted secretly.
Behind me, I heard the sound of Master Wen crying bitterly.
Well... Lord Wen knelt down as he took every step as he escorted Abao and Di Zian out of the mansion.
The news spread like wildfire among the officials in an instant.
The Minister of Revenue said: "Have you heard that the Tenth Princess and the Seventh Prince have taken over the job of collecting donations from all officials, and they are bankrupt wherever they go."
The commander said: "The tenth princess is only eight months old, and the seventh prince is only seventeen. They are just a big kid with a little kid. How can they be so capable?"
The Censor said: "Who knows? You haven't seen it. The wife and concubine of the Right Prime Minister are gone. The eldest uncle's family drove out their only son. The Minister of Rites, Lord Wen, knelt and cried as he sent the Tenth Princess out of the house. That's not all. I heard that Lord Wen knelt and cried again as he went to the palace to see the emperor.
The Tenth Princess and her friends all came out with a lot of money, but they raised a lot of gold and silver.
It is worth mentioning that these three families did not think highly of the Tenth Princess at first, but the family of Lord Luo, the Minister of Personnel, was quite good.
Lord Luo was very cooperative, and happily welcomed the Tenth Princess into his residence, and donated silver without hesitation."
Dali Temple: "So, you should donate money quickly! If you don't, your family will be broken up and your money will be gone. Don't you think this is reasonable?"
After everyone got together, they understood.
donate!
Donate quickly.
If you donate money, you won't feel happy at home.
"Master, Master, the Tenth Princess and the Seventh Prince are at the door—" The Dali Temple Minister was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair, "Ahem, hurry up and take out the family property."
Before leaving, the Dali Temple Minister went to the small kitchen again.
As Abao and Di Zi'an arrived at the residence of the Dali Temple Official, before they even stepped over the threshold, the Dali Temple Official came out in a hurry with his servants.
The servants were carrying boxes.
After paying his respects, the Dali Temple Minister took out a small food box from his arms and opened it, revealing a large chicken drumstick.
Po, who was about to speak, stood up straight instantly.
Those who are anxious will rush forward.
Di Zian held her down, "Sister..."
[Good buddy, this old man, the Dali Temple Chief, is a capable person. Chicken legs, really big chicken legs.]
A Bao didn't care about the gold and silver around it, he just focused on the big chicken leg that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
【I’m hungry, let’s eat! 】
The Dali Temple Minister narrowed his eyes and smiled like an old fox.
He said that to the Tenth Princess, chicken legs were more tempting than gold and silver.
After all, the emperor held the little princess in his arms when he went to court every day, so he more or less understood the little princess's temperament.
It's always right to cater to people's preferences.
"My little princess, I knew you were coming, so I quickly prepared chicken legs and gold and silver. They are yours. They are all yours."
Po's eyes sparkled, "What?"
"right!"
Po was so happy.
The Dali Temple Minister cried with joy. Children are really easy to coax.
