Chapter 128: How many lifetimes have you cultivated to get this blessing?
"A-choo!" Fang'er sneezed.
"Princess, what's wrong? You're not feeling well, and it's freezing outside. You should go back." Xiao Tao anxiously supported her and was about to leave.
Fang'er let Xiaotao help her get up: "Miss, I'm afraid I have to say goodbye. I'm not in good health."
Wen Jiu nodded: "If you don't feel well, go back and rest early."
Fang'er looked at Wenjiu seriously for a while, and suddenly said softly: "I'm ashamed to say that I was mean-spirited and misunderstood the girl's intentions. I apologize to the girl here, and please forgive me." It was an insult to such an open-minded woman to think that she was someone who was trying to curry favor with the Third Master.
Wen Jiu waved his hand: "I almost forgot, don't worry about it."
If she hadn't apologized in time, Wenjiu would have definitely taken it to heart. But now, he felt that this person was not so bad.
Fang Er smiled softly after hearing this: "Actually, I just don't want another woman to appear in front of the Third Master. I don't want his heart to be split apart again. The girl is extremely beautiful, and I feel ashamed of myself. That's why I thought of this..."
Wen Jiu saw that her tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes again, and immediately waved his hand: "Okay, I really forgive you."
The Third Master's personality does make people around him feel insecure.
"Thank you, young lady... cough cough..." Fang'er suddenly started coughing violently again.
"Go back quickly, your health is important." Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown.
Fang'er did not refuse this time. She nodded to the warm wine and was helped by Xiaotao into the carriage.
"What are you looking at, young lady?" Su Peisheng came over to warm the wine without anyone noticing.
Wen Jiu retracted his gaze and frowned slightly: "She looks like she is not feeling well."
Su Peisheng also helped warm the wine and peel the garlic, saying, "Speaking of which, this princess is also a pitiful person."
Wen Jiu pointed to the seat: "Sit down and talk in detail."
Su Peisheng glanced around and actually sat down. "This Princess Fang is the eldest daughter of Wang Lizhi, the former governor of Shanxi. She belonged to the Han Army Banner and returned to the capital for selection. Our Third Master immediately took a liking to her. Before she even entered the palace, the Third Master had already run to our Emperor and begged him to make her his legitimate wife."
"Legitimate wife?"
Su Peisheng nodded, "Of course I do. I want her to be my first wife. Her father held a high position, so it's not impossible for her to marry into the royal family. It's just that she's a Han bannerwoman, so His Majesty doesn't think she's suitable. But he couldn't resist Third Master, so he said he'd wait until the selection to see who she is. If she's someone with a steady personality, he'd give her to our Third Master."
Wen Jiu blinked: "What happened next?"
Su Peisheng sighed: "Later, in the selection hall, she lost her composure and fainted.
The emperor was dissatisfied, but he still sent for the imperial physician to see her. However, the physician said that she had touched something that was harmful to her body and would never be able to get pregnant again.
"You can't get pregnant!" Wen Jiu's heart skipped a beat. How could such a good girl enter the palace for selection and come into contact with something harmful to her body? I'm afraid she's in someone else's way!
Su Peisheng lowered his voice again: "Our Third Master didn't care much and wanted her to be his legitimate wife regardless of the consequences. This angered His Majesty, who punished him by making him kneel at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity for three days without eating or drinking.
In the end, even Concubine Rong knelt down.
The Emperor finally softened his heart. Although the royal family did not allow the principal wife to be unable to have children, the concubine was reluctant, so he said that he would give her the position of concubine and bring her into the palace. Only then did the Third Master stop making trouble.
Unexpectedly, the day before Fang Gege entered the palace, Lord Wang was suddenly impeached for corruption and bribery. Furthermore, mobs erupted in Shanxi, his jurisdiction. With so many things happening at once, Lord Wang fell, and his family was exiled to Ningguta. Fang Gege, a well-to-do daughter, suddenly became the daughter of a criminal, and naturally, her chance to be a concubine was over.
Wen Jiu felt a lump in his throat when he heard this: "So what happened next?"
Su Peisheng continued, "Later, our Third Master went to ask His Majesty for help, and he even asked for Fang Gege.
"Our Third Master has always been a good-natured person, fond of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and always speaking softly to his servants. But he was stubborn in this matter, so angry that the Emperor even whipped him, but he didn't even frown."
In the end, His Majesty was more compassionate and granted his wish, allowing Princess Fang to enter his mansion."
Wen Jiu exhaled lightly, his chest still stuffy and panicked: "It was fine..."
Su Peisheng nodded: "Isn't it? It's a pity, but even if she takes the position of the First Concubine, with Fang Gege's temperament, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep it. The Dong E family has been eyeing the position of the Third Concubine for a long time."
Wen Jiu suddenly asked seriously, "Is the person who impeached the Shanxi governor related to the Dong E clan?"
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, having not expected the young lady to be so perceptive. He glanced around again, then nodded imperceptibly, "Young lady, there's no need to be sad about this. For Fang Gege, marrying into the Third Master's household is a blessing earned through several lifetimes. Now, he's been pampered and cherished for so long, what else could she be dissatisfied with?"
"Is it the blessing accumulated over several lifetimes?" Wen Jiu curled his lips in a noncommittal manner. It was really ironic.
"why are you laughing?"
Suddenly hearing a voice, Wenjiu turned around and immediately saluted: "Master, you are back?" When did you finish fighting with those masters? Why did you come here to eavesdrop?
The Fourth Master sat down beside the warm wine and looked at her: "Don't you think it's a blessing?"
The Fourth Master couldn't guess what Wen Jiu was thinking, but he felt that her smile was very meaningful.
Wen Jiu only smiled faintly and asked: "If such a blessing were given to me, would I want it?"
"How dare you!" The Fourth Master frowned. "How dare you compare me to a woman? Don't you wish I could pamper you like Third Brother pampers Wang?"
Wen Jiu didn't reply, but looked at Su Peisheng: "If such a blessing is given to the father-in-law, would he want it?"
Su Peisheng was startled. Seeing his master also looking at him, he replied awkwardly, "I am a man. How can I have such a blessing? If I were a woman, I would definitely be delighted to be noticed like this."
Wenjiu laughed again and turned to look at Buyu who was not far away: "Master Buyu must have heard what we said. This blessing is for you. Do you want it?"
"Ah? This..." Buyu was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
Fourth Master: "Just say whatever you think."
"I don't want it." Bu Yu said, "I am a man, I have good hands and feet, so I don't want to live in the inner house."
Wen Jiu smiled and looked at the Fourth Master after hearing this: "Master, Fang Gege is also in good health."
Buyu suddenly became anxious after hearing this: "How can a little girl's fists and feet compare with men's? Besides, don't women all want to marry a good husband? It's a blessing in itself."
Wen Jiuzhi looked at the Fourth Master and asked, "Does the Master think so too?"
