Chapter 112 I ignored the Yue Lao Temple, and I knelt in front of the God of Wealth Temple
Jiang Hanyu's eyes and eyebrows were gentle.
"What is Yuyan planning to do this time?"
Su Yuyan blinked mischievously.
"It would be pointless to give away spoilers. Just follow along, Your Highness."
"Come on, my lord, I'll treat you to a great show."
As he stepped into the reception room, Jiang Hanyu spoke coldly as usual.
"Why does the prince come to see me again?"
Jiang Huaijin smirked.
"I came to ask my brother the Emperor to buy a servant."
Jiang Hanyu directly played the good guy.
"This king has not yet fallen to the point of selling slaves."
"If you don't want to sell it, go back."
Jiang Huaijin: “…”
He looked at Su Yuyan.
"Princess Rui, I can offer a high price."
Su Yuyan pretended to be dumb.
"Hmm? Who to buy?"
"The sixty-year-old man you brought to Qiongyanfang yesterday."
Su Yuyan asked knowingly.
"Buy him at a high price? No, he's already that old, why would you buy him back?"
Jiang Huaijin gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry about that. Just tell me how much you're willing to sell it for."
Su Yuyan stroked her chin with her white little hands.
"No, what do you want from him?"
"Because he's old? Because he doesn't take a bath? Because he has a limp?"
Jiang Hanyu covered his face.
My wife always speaks in a different way.
Jiang Huaijin: “…”
"Just name your price."
Su Yuyan made up stories in a serious manner.
"Uncle Zhou won't sell it."
"When I was a kid in the countryside, my neighbor who looked a lot like Uncle Zhou was a famous carpenter in the area. Everyone loved to come to him for carpentry work. At that time, my family was very poor, and he often helped me and my family out of his own pocket. I said yesterday that I felt a sense of connection with Uncle Zhou from the moment we met. This kind of feeling cannot be measured by money."
“So, no selling.”
After she finished speaking, she took Jiang Hanyu's hand and left without looking back.
Seeing them leave like this, Jiang Huaijin: "......"
I’m really impressed.
I said I wouldn't come, but you forced me to come.
He did a lot of evil in his previous life, so he was driven away in this life after buying a slave!
After returning to the East Palace, Jiang Huaijin arranged for someone to tell Shangguan Jue what had just happened.
Since the life of his younger sister was at stake, Shangguan Jue decisively asked Jiang Huaijin to ask Prince Rui and his wife to come out.
Therefore, after receiving Shangguan Jue's reply, Jiang Huaijin had to bite the bullet and go to Prince Rui's Mansion again even though he was extremely reluctant.
When Su Yuyan saw Jiang Huaijin coming to visit again, a smile appeared on her lips.
"The prince is here for Zhou Bo?"
"Um."
Su Yuyan pretended to have a strange look in her eyes.
"Why is the prince suddenly so obsessed with a sixty-year-old man?"
"Let me guess...Wow~ Could you be..."
Looking at her weird and somewhat perverted look, Jiang Huaijin interrupted her.
"I'm not that perverted."
"Shangguan Jue and Shangguan Rao, brother and sister, asked me to help them buy the old man. I don't know the specific reason."
"I told them you wouldn't sell that old slave, but not only did they not give up, they even asked me to come out again to meet you. They said they would tell you the reason when we meet."
Su Yuyan, who knew what was going on, cooperated with him and played along with him.
"Ah~ My damn curiosity, the more they act like this, the more I want to know why they insist on buying Uncle Zhou."
"In that case, have them hold a banquet at Qiongyanfang tomorrow at noon. I'll go and see what's going on."
After Jiang Huaijin left, Jiang Hanyu carried Su Yuyan back to the main courtyard.
At the end of the Wei hour, Xiu'er came to report.
"My lady, Princess Jiaoyue requests an audience."
Since the original owner had never dealt with Princess Jiaoyue, there was no such person in his memory.
But thinking back to when Jiang Hanyu once said that he was deeply grateful and respected by the five princesses and concubines because he had promised their mothers that 'the princesses of the Dafeng royal family would never marry far away'.
Then the five princesses definitely had no ill will towards him.
"Take her to the study."
After saying this, she got up and went to the study next door.
In the study, Jiang Hanyu sat at the big table as usual, handling government affairs.
Seeing Su Yuyan coming, he put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Su Yuyan.
"Yuyan."
Su Yuyan sat down on the warm couch not far from him.
"I know Your Highness not only has to deal with the government affairs assigned to you by your father, but also has to take care of the affairs of Wuxiang Pavilion. It is normal for you to be busy with all kinds of affairs every day. I didn't mean to disturb Your Highness, but Princess Jiaoyue suddenly came to see me, so I came to ask Your Highness about something."
Jiang Hanyu said.
"Xingyue is the youngest of the five imperial sisters. She has a personality similar to Daiyun and is also lively and cheerful. Every time she sees me, she always calls me Imperial Brother with a smile."
"I'm used to staying at home, so I don't understand much more."
"If Yuyan doesn't want to talk to her anymore, I'll send her away after she says a few words."
Su Yuyan waved her hand.
"The prince once promised the five princesses that he would never let them leave their homes to marry into other countries. I'm sure they are all very grateful to him."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll see why she came to see me."
"Okay, it's all up to Yuyan."
Jiang Xingyue, who followed Xiu'er into the study, was the first to call for help with a smile.
"Good afternoon, my royal brother."
"Good afternoon, sister-in-law."
As she spoke, she placed a rectangular brocade box in front of Jiang Hanyu.
"My Royal Brother, helping Father govern the country, inevitably has to deal with pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. This is a wolf-hair brush I gave to you. I hope you will accept it."
After she finished speaking, she ran to Su Yuyan and handed her another brocade box.
"This is the gift I brought to the Empress Dowager. It's a gold hairpin. Please accept it."
Seeing that she was so polite and capable, Su Yuyan looked at her intently.
The woman wore a pure white ermine fur cloak on the outside and a frosty white satin skirt with a hint of lake blue underneath.
The pure white ermine fur on her cloak made her skin look like cream, her almond-shaped eyes were full of affection and her lips were red, making her look pretty and charming.
"Since you are so good at dealing with things, then tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Jiang Xingyue smiled.
"The glove puppet show promoted by the Imperial Sister-in-law has recently become popular in Kyoto, and the owner of the troupe has also been constantly innovating and improving. Now glove puppet shows are widely loved by aristocratic families. Imperial Sister-in-law, please accompany me to watch the glove puppet show."
Although she knew that her real intention was not to drink, Su Yuyan liked her ability to handle things.
Moreover, Su Yuyan was also a little curious why she didn't want her royal brother to hear what she wanted to say to her.
Then, he stood up and looked at Jiang Hanyu.
"Your Highness is very busy, so I won't bother you here. It just so happens that I haven't checked on the current scale of the puppet show I recruited and promoted for a long time."
"Your Highness, please continue to be busy. The princess and I are going to watch a puppet show."
Jiang Hanyu would not restrict her personal freedom.
"Well, have fun, ma'am."
After he finished speaking, he gave instructions to Ling Feng and Ling Yun.
"You two take a few palace soldiers to protect the princess's safety and settle the bill."
Ling Feng and Ling Yun clasped their fists and bowed.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Half an hour later, in Kyoto, at Mingxiang Yazhu Teahouse.
The teahouse was crowded and bustling.
The two of them found a private seat by the window on the second floor, which was quite expensive.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a burst of dense drum beats and a puppet show of "The Legend of White Snake" began.
The sleeves of the White Snake puppet fluttered, and with a light tap of her fingertips, she actually created "water waves" as if casting a spell - it turned out to be the blue silk shaken by the artist behind the scenes.
The Xu Xian puppet looked very naive and was chased all over the stage by Fahai, causing Jiang Xingyue to cover her mouth and laugh.
When the performance reached the meeting at the Broken Bridge, White Snake flicked her sleeves and a bunch of colorful butterflies flew out from her sleeves, circling in the teahouse, and everyone in the audience was amazed.
Jiang Xingyue tugged at Su Yuyan's sleeve, her eyes shining like stars.
"Sister-in-law! This puppet show is truly fresh and interesting! It will soon become a big hit in Kyoto!"
Su Yuyan felt extremely relieved when she saw that the glove puppet show, which was once ignored, was now sought after by thousands of people: the glove puppet show, as an intangible cultural heritage, has been completely preserved!
After watching two more wonderful performances after White Snake, Su Yuyan got straight to the point.
"Why did you come to see me today besides watching the puppet show?"
Jiang Xingyue moved closer to her.
"Sister-in-law, have you ever risked your life for love in your life?"
Su Yuyan: “?”
"No, and there won't be. In my case, only men will risk their lives for me. I can't risk even a little bit for men."
Jiang Xingyue said.
"I have."
Su Yuyan: “…”
After a long while, Su Yuyan, who was waiting to hear what she was going to say next, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw that she didn't continue.
"Then tell me, what's the matter? I have to V you 50 to hear the next part?"
Jiang Xingyue: "???"
"Sister-in-law, what does V50 mean?"
"You can understand it as giving you five taels of silver."
Jiang Xingyue shook her head repeatedly.
"I didn't mean to ask the Empress for money. I just... didn't know how to start."
"Princess, you may not understand me. I don't like dealing with timid people."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xingyue gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"I want the Empress to help me date a man."
Su Yuyan: “?”
She thought about it and suddenly realized it.
"Luo Wuchen?"
Jiang Xingyue nodded.
"From the moment I first saw him in the palace two years ago, I was completely captivated by him."
"Later, I mustered up the courage to tell him my feelings, but he declined."
"Later, in order to get along with him, I often made myself sick and then called him to heal me."
"I've been closely following Luo Wuchen's every move. He's never interacted with any woman since he came to Dafeng as a judge, but I know he visited the General's Mansion several times before the Empress's wife married my second brother. So I know what he thinks of her."
"Sister-in-law, since you are already married to my brother, can you help me connect with him?"
Su Yuyan: “…”
You made yourself sick just to see him? You really are risking your life for love.
She thought about it and then gave life advice.
"Princess, listen to my advice. Feelings hurt. I suggest you change your lifestyle: I won't pay any attention to you in front of the Yue Lao Temple, and I won't get up from my knees in front of the God of Wealth Temple."
"Besides, your marriage is decided by the emperor. Even if you two are in love, the emperor may not agree with you."
Jiang Xingyue's eyes were firm.
"I can't change. I've liked him for two years, and my love for him has only grown. I just know that if I don't end up with him in this life, I'll be in agony."
"Luo Wuchen is the only son of the Master of Medicine King Valley. He has made great achievements in the medical field at a young age. The royal families of Dafeng and Yuheng Kingdom are vying for this talent. My father gave him many privileges in order to win him over. Moreover, during the years he has been serving as a judge in Dafeng, he has taken good care of my father and my grandmother. My father and my grandmother rely on him very much."
"So as long as he likes me, Father will not oppose us."
"Anyway, I will not marry anyone else in this life. If my father promises me to someone else, then the day I get married will be the anniversary of my death."
Su Yuyan: “…”
"You really must have him?"
Jiang Xingyue said firmly.
"I just can't live without him."
Su Yuyan confirmed again.
"Love even until death?"
Jiang Xingyue didn't think twice.
"Love till death."
Su Yuyan thought for a moment.
"Then try taking an unusual route, acting like a crazy woman."
"Anyway, I was pretty crazy the day I met him."
"Try the Crazy Woman route first. If that doesn't work, I'll open it for you."
Jiang Xingyue looked at Su Yuyan with emotion.
"Sister-in-law, how do you open it?"
Su Yuyan said.
"Don't ask too much about what's going on in the underworld. Just work hard on your own first."
Jiang Xingyue nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to the Empress Dowager."
At the same time, Shangguan Jue suddenly appeared and sat down opposite Su Yuyan.
"Princess Rui, would you be so kind as to chat for a few minutes?"
Su Yuyan started talking nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Okay, how much is it?"
Shangguan Jue: “......!”
