Chapter 622 Is it really the Tenth Master?
Seeing Wen Jiu and the Crown Princess looking over, Wu Lanzhu said silently, "It's the Tenth Master."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Jiu was subconsciously stunned and glanced at the Crown Princess beside him. As expected, the Crown Princess also had a look of surprise on her face.
"You...don't think like that. It may not be what you think." The Crown Princess advised.
Wen Jiu frowned slightly: "You, haven't you been to the Tenth Master recently?"
Wulanzhu lowered her eyes silently. "I learned how to make a cake from you two days ago. It was my first time making one. It was sour and sweet and delicious. I... couldn't help but send some to him."
Wen Jiu looked at the girl's tense face and silently took her tightly clenched hand: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you send it over. It may not be the Tenth Master this time. I will help you find out clearly."
"No need." Wu Lanzhu suddenly smiled: "I will ask him myself."
Wen Jiu was stunned: "...Okay."
Wenjiu might not be able to empathize with Wulanzhu's feelings, but looking at her tightly pursed lips, he knew that she was probably feeling unhappy at the moment.
This was the first time that Wulanzhu mentioned the Tenth Master, and the blush on her cheeks disappeared.
"Hey, Princess, my little sister, I've caught up with you."
When Wenjiu wanted to say something to Wulanzhu, he saw the Third Lady catching up with him, so he stopped talking in time.
"I didn't have time to have a proper chat just now. Princess and my younger sister, please don't mind."
Seeing that the two of them only exchanged a casual greeting, and clearly not wanting to discuss the matter in detail, the Third Lady laughed and immediately glanced at Wulanzhu beside her, saying, "Princess Wulanzhu, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. I was just worried about your health. Please don't take it to heart."
Wulanzhu pursed her lips and finally nodded, but she didn't say anything.
The Third Lady's face stiffened. It was one thing that the Crown Princess and Wen Jiu didn't give her face, but the Tenth Lady, who hadn't even married yet and was destined to be an unfavored woman, actually dared to give her a cold shoulder. The Third Lady was also aroused by anger, but in this situation, she couldn't lose her temper.
He just smiled and let it go, but his eyes would glance towards Wen Jiu from time to time.
The Third Lady wanted to explain a few words to Wen Jiu, to distance herself from the Eighth Lady, but along the way she kept running into one princess or another. With all the pleasantries, she had no chance to explain herself.
"Little sister, why don't you come sit next to me?"
Entering the house, the banquet was already set. The morning meal wasn't the main meal, just a light snack, waiting for the return of the Ninth Master and his bride from the palace later in the evening after the grand ceremony. Wen Jiu and the Crown Princess, the sisters-in-law, would chat with the children. Calculating it carefully, the entire day would be spent at the Ninth Master's residence.
According to the prescribed order, Wen Jiu should sit after San Fu Jin during the banquet. San Fu Jin took a look, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she spoke first.
Wen Jiu was stunned and shook his head. Before he could say anything, he heard the Crown Princess say, "Jiu'er, come here."
Without saying a word, he took her hand and sat directly at the top seat.
Wen Jiu glanced at Wu Lanzhu with some concern. The Crown Princess patted her hands and said, "Don't think I can let her sit next to me. I can only let you sit next to me. It wouldn't be good to have another one. Do you want to put me aside now that you have Wu Lanzhu?"
The Crown Princess saw Wenjiu staring at the bridge on Wulanzhu's side, and suddenly a look of resentment appeared on her face.
"Ah?" Wen Jiu was stunned by the Crown Princess' words. After coming back to his senses, he said with a smile, "What the hell is going on?"
The Crown Princess curled her lips: "I don't care, I am your most important handkerchief friend, remember that."
Wen Jiu: "...Of course you are. I'll be angry with anyone who says you're not." Then he added: "Wulanzhu is in a bad mood today. I'm a little worried about her."
The Crown Princess waved her hand: "Don't worry, I asked Pin Mo to go look after her. I promise she'll be fine."
After hearing this, Wenjiu nodded immediately.
The Crown Princess took a sip of milk and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She tugged at the clothes that were warming the wine and said, "Tell me, was it really the Tenth Master who was responsible for this incident today? How powerful is the Tenth Master to be able to order the Third and Eighth Concubine around?"
Look at these two people, they have put a lot of effort into Wulanzhu, and even dared to drag the girl from the Tonggiya clan into the water. Could it be that they are just doing it for Master Quan Shi’s wish? "
The two sat at the head of the table, with Liu Su and Pin Ming beside them, both of them close confidants. They spoke without reservation.
Wen Jiu looked at it and subconsciously glanced towards the Third and Eighth Concubine, and couldn't help but frowned.
"I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple. Do you think what they did was approved by the two masters?"
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu's heart skipped a beat. If this wasn't just a matter between the women in the harem, then if he thought about it more deeply, this matter would be more complicated.
Historically, the Tenth Master did marry Wulanzhu.
Wulanzhu's father, Prince Wuerjin Galapu, now held great power in the Abahai tribe. Promising her the position of the Tenth Consort was actually a way to stabilize the remote tribe. Thinking about it carefully, it was clear that the emperor would not allow anyone to disrupt this marriage.
In this situation, the factional divisions among the princes are gradually becoming more obvious. The Ninth and Tenth Princes are obviously closer to their own Fourth Prince, and are now gradually distancing themselves from the Eighth Prince.
It is not impossible that the Eighth Master wanted to win over the Tenth Master and asked the Eighth Lady to fulfill the Tenth Master's wish.
Another thing is that if this marriage is ruined, it is very likely that the peace that has been maintained with great difficulty at the border will be disrupted.
I heard that the prince also loved his daughter dearly. Ulanzhu was extremely favored in the Abahai tribe. If she suffered any grievances in the capital, who knows what would happen to her in the future.
She could consider all these things, so how could the Eighth and Third Masters not have considered them? Did they know about this? If they did, what were they planning?
Wen Jiu suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, so he glanced at the Crown Princess beside him and said, "I also feel that this is not right, but I can't figure out why no matter how hard I think about it. You are the most insightful, can you see it clearly?"
The Crown Princess ate another cherry and stuffed another one into Wen Jiu's pocket, saying, "I was hoping you would explain it to me, but you're asking me instead. I'm completely confused now."
Let’s wait and see what Master Shi’s attitude is in the next few nights, and maybe things will become clear.
It's a pity for the prince's daughter, who was sent to the capital with the intention of giving her a better life, but unexpectedly, she only suffered injustice."
