Chapter 511 My Fourth Brother Asked Me to Take Good Care of You
The wife and concubines in the mansion were all locked up. How could a little princess like her dare to go to the wine warmer and bring bad luck upon herself?
Speaking of which, even if there weren't so many people around Wen Jiu now, and it was just her, Song would still feel a little scared.
To this day, Song still remembers how Wen Jiu cracked the whip in front of her door that day. Her arm still aches.
"Oh, you have such a clever tongue." The Third Lady looked at Wenjiu's extremely kind smile, but she was so angry that she couldn't vent it. Instead, she said this in a stubborn manner.
"I feel like my third sister-in-law has the most powerful mouth."
As everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a soft female voice coming from outside and subconsciously looked over.
Then, the two princesses who were sitting with their hands behind their backs also stood up and saluted together.
"Meet the Crown Princess."
Wen Jiu bowed to the Crown Princess along with everyone else, but he couldn't help but look at her out of curiosity.
The fate of this Crown Princess was also bumpy. She followed the Crown Prince and was deposed and reinstated twice, and was eventually imprisoned for the rest of her life.
In Wenjiu's opinion, she is definitely a talented person. Now that she is the Crown Princess, she is in charge of the affairs of Emperor Kangxi's harem. It is obvious that Emperor Kangxi trusts her very much.
What surprised Wen Jiu even more was that the heart on her head was a light blue, a color he had never seen before.
Love is red, hatred is black, and now, before the Third Master and the square princess could figure out what the green hearts on their heads meant, a blue one had appeared. Wen Jiu couldn't help but scrutinize the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess was extremely tall, more than half a head taller than an average woman. She was estimated to be around 1.75 meters tall.
Today she was wearing a complete set of kingfisher feather headdress, which was an extremely noble item, but she managed to make it look simple and elegant.
She was wearing a bright yellow Manchu dress with simple and ancient patterns, but no one dared to underestimate her.
Her facial features are not particularly good-looking, and they are not three-dimensional enough, but her skin is as white as snow, which adds a bit of beauty. It looks very comfortable.
Her words and actions were as if measured. She walked steadily from the door to the seat at the top, without even moving the tassels on her temples, as if the rules were engraved in her bones.
"Princess, please excuse me. I'm late. I still need to apologize to the two elders."
Cong Kang's wife did not dare to be arrogant and immediately responded with a smile: "You are too polite, Princess. I should have gone to the door to greet you, but I didn't expect you to come today."
Princess Gong had always been very arrogant. She hadn't spoken to anyone since entering the room, and hadn't even glanced at Wen Jiu. But upon seeing the Crown Princess, a smile appeared on her face. "Since you've entered this room, it's become a lot brighter. I haven't seen the Crown Princess for a long time, and I think your demeanor is even better than before."
The Crown Princess smiled and shook her head: "You are too polite, please take a seat first."
He glanced into the distance again and said with a smile, "Where is this play going?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Princess Gong immediately responded, "Hurry up and ask people to continue singing, to make it lively."
Wenjiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Princess Gong. He didn't expect that she had two faces.
"Miss Wen, why do you think I'm so unfamiliar? Come sit with me. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we can talk."
The singing started again on the stage, but the Crown Princess shifted her attention to Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu was stunned and quickly went through the original owner's memory. It seemed that he had never had any intersection with the Crown Princess.
He just calmly bowed to the Princess Kang beside him, and then went to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess smiled and pointed to the stool beside her: "Hurry and sit down."
"Thank you, Princess." Wen Jiu felt a little uneasy, not quite understanding her intentions.
The Crown Princess came closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You should take a break. Fourth brother begged me to look after you, so it's okay for you to take this opportunity to get some sleep."
As he spoke, he casually picked up a piece of dessert and put it into his mouth.
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, thanking the Crown Princess.
I forgot that at that time, the Fourth Master was a member of the Prince's Party. It was when the Prince and the Fourth Master were still close.
The fact that the Fourth Master was able to ask the Crown Princess to look after him shows that he still trusts her, right? Is that plausible?
The Crown Princess looked at the woman in front of her calmly, but couldn't help but admire her.
Looking at her from a distance, I felt that she was a beauty. Now that I look closer, I feel that her eyebrows and skin are truly impeccable. No wonder even my hard-hearted fourth brother misses her.
He couldn't help but glance towards the Third Lady. Seeing that she shrank her neck in fear, as if she was afraid of being seen by him, he also withdrew his gaze.
I really don't know what to say about the Third Master's wife. Was she the one who caused the Fourth Master's banquet? Was she complaining that life was too good?
He then offered her a small dish of melon seeds and warm wine, saying, "Pregnancy is tough, so you don't have to be restricted by what you want to eat."
As he spoke, he glanced at the Third Lady as a warning.
Logically speaking, Wenjiu was the host and should have entertained the Crown Princess, but her status was too low. Without someone of higher status to speak up for her, she was helpless. She could only express her gratitude.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the Fourth Master came with a message, and Wenjiu ordered everyone to start the banquet.
As expected, the warm wine and meal quickly won the hearts of the ladies present.
After all, everyone has been to Zui Xiang Lou at some point or another. It's just that it's too expensive and you can't enjoy the food to your heart's content.
Now the amount of warm wine at the banquet was very large. For a while, everyone was busy eating and few people spoke.
Nanny Gui was watching from above and was also speechless. People say that three women make a drama, but this was the first time she saw such a group of ladies sitting together without talking or chatting, but just eating.
Wenjiu carefully asked the Crown Princess about her taste, and then helped her mix some sesame sauce for dipping, and brought it to her: "Crown Princess, please try it. The side dishes in the spicy hot pot are covered with sauce. It's too comfortable to take a bite."
The Crown Princess took a look at the rather casual warming of the wine and was momentarily stunned. For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
This was the first time someone was not at all reserved around her, but instead spoke to her calmly as if she were an ordinary person.
"Mm, it tastes delicious."
After taking a sip of the warm wine, the Crown Princess couldn't help but nod.
The servants behind her were staring with their eyes wide open, unable to believe what they were seeing. The Crown Princess actually ate something someone else had brought her at the banquet? And it really didn't look good...
"Then you should eat more. There is also juice here. Drinking it will help you feel better." Wen Jiu handed a glass of juice to the Crown Princess.
Then he clinked his cup with hers and drank it all in one gulp.
The Crown Princess was stunned for a moment, then drank up all the juice in the cup.
After warming the wine, he introduced the other dishes and how to eat them. The Crown Princess was very satisfied with her meal that day.
Of course, Wenjiu sat next to the Crown Princess and had his meal together, and he also ate until his belly was full.
When the banquet was over, the Crown Princess held the hand that was warming the wine and couldn't help but pat it: "I'll come see you again later, and then we can make those giant sesame balls you mentioned together."
Wen Jiu smiled and replied, "Okay."
Then he escorted the Crown Princess to the carriage and waved to her from a distance.
After sending her away, Wen Jiu still felt a little empty in his heart. It must be said that the Crown Princess was quite a rare person.
"Ah, do you want to scare me to death?" Wen Jiu thought to herself, and when she turned around, she found that the Fourth Master, the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master, the Thirteenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master were looking at her strangely.
"Was that the Crown Princess just now?" Master Jiu couldn't help but ask in surprise.
