Chapter 28 Birth Date
Pei Wanqing felt disgusted and nauseous when she heard Pu Qiongzhi complimenting her like that.
In her previous life, she had a life-and-death relationship with the Pu family.
Now, things have changed over time, and it is her turn to flatter me like this.
Pei Wanqing raised her chin and said, "As a human being, we should do more good deeds when we walk in the world."
"I think the reason why I'm in this situation today is due to karma from my past life. My dear lady, please be careful. You've done too much evil in your past life, and you'll suffer retribution in this one!"
"..." Pu Qiongzhi kept smiling, as if she agreed with what she said.
However, she didn't believe these claims at all.
She only recognized that people's choices led to consequences. If you chose the wrong path, you had to bear the consequences and never look back.
But now that she wanted to put on a show, she had no choice but to agree.
It doesn’t matter what Pei Wanqing’s reaction is; what matters is that the Queen listened.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at her thoughtful expression and covered the corners of her lips with the teacup.
The audition is coming soon, and Pei Wanqing is shining at this time. I think they are afraid of delaying her good fortune.
But if a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it. This truth is very simple.
It is true that she has gained a good reputation, but who says that she will definitely be able to succeed with the Ninth Prince?
Sometimes, her wishes don't matter that much.
Especially, in the eyes of the Lord of this world.
The empress, in accordance with the old custom, taught them some lessons on female virtue and appearance. Afterwards, she gave them some symbolic rewards and sent them away from the palace.
Pu Qiongzhi's carriage passed through Kyoto and headed towards the Earl's Mansion.
Along the way, she listened to the songs sung by the children in Kyoto, which was really interesting.
Previously, she asked Chunjing to go to Beijing first. Apart from handling matters in Beijing, she only did one thing in the remaining time - to modify Pei Wanqing's birth date and time.
This was a very troublesome matter. First, one had to bribe the people who registered for the selection, then the clan ancestral hall, then the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, and even the wet nurse and a series of other miscellaneous people had to be sealed one by one...
Pu Qiongzhi had originally planned to win over the most important people, and could still negotiate with the rest. However, Chun Jing replied that before she could even make a move, someone else had already done it.
Pu Qiongzhi initially thought it was Nangong Hua's work.
But later she unexpectedly discovered that this was actually done by Pei Wanqing herself!
She tampered with her birth date and fortune, so that she could pass the test of the royal selection in the marriage and fortune-telling stage.
When Pu Qiongzhi heard the news, she really didn't know whether to say this girl was smart or stupid!
In order to marry the Ninth Prince, she did everything she could. To be able to do this, she must have truly fallen deeply in love with the Ninth Prince.
Pu Qiongzhi took the opportunity to hint to the fortune teller that Pei Wanqing had given him a hard life.
This fate is extremely rare, and it is the destiny of a girl destined by heaven.
Now that the time was ripe, Pu Qiongzhi asked someone to compose a nursery rhyme and then had Sun Shisan and others distribute it so that the children and little beggars in the capital could sing it everywhere.
The nursery rhyme is nothing special, just a few catchy lines, hinting that a destined girl will be born in Kyoto one day, and whoever gets this girl will rule the world.
It doesn’t matter what the truth is, but she is also following Pei Wanqing’s wishes to make her famous, and hopes she can be happy!
…
Only now did Fang Miaozhu understand why his medicinal herbs were left in his hands.
She didn't dare to speak out, so she could only suffer in silence.
After all, she couldn't say that she had foreseen the plague and wanted to make a fortune, so she monopolized medicinal materials in many places.
You know, if Pu Qiongzhi hadn't bought the medicine from the extra chapter, even with Pei Wanqing's prescription, the medicinal materials would be in short supply and it would be hard to find the medicine. How much profit would she make from it...
Fang Miaozhu felt so angry that his teeth were itching at the thought that he had fallen into the hands of an ancient native.
She has been busy drawing dolls recently, hoping to make a fortune from these things.
When the time comes, she will amaze everyone with them!
She was confident that as long as these dolls were sold, the Ninth Prince would definitely treat her differently again!
But judging by the time, the Ninth Prince will soon be selected for the imperial examination.
When Fang Miaozhuo thought of this, she felt uncomfortable and sad.
However, he is the emperor. How could such a supreme ruler have only one woman?
This is ancient times, so it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines.
After all, he also had to consider the family background of these women to add to his strengths.
But she still couldn't help but feel jealous.
I can only tell myself that he is just using them and has no feelings for them.
…
The Earl of Gongning's Mansion.
Zhai Lou and others knelt in the yard and confessed their crimes to Pu Qiongzhi.
"Oh my! What are you doing? This isn't your fault!"
"You all act like this, as if I, the young master, have treated you harshly!"
"Get up quickly, get up quickly, don't scare the people in my house!"
Pu Qiongzhi sat on a chair, holding a small jade pot in her hand, and took a sip from time to time.
She said that she didn't take it to heart, but Pu Qiongzhi was not a good person!
If something happened to them, Pu Qiongzhi would naturally feel bad.
Therefore, she would go out in person at the critical moment to find them.
But now they are fine, right? That's another story!
Could it be that she had made a wasted trip, and she couldn't vent her anger?
Although this is the truth and it is indeed a helpless move, everyone is willing to do it.
They all knew that the young master had been on the verge of death because of these people.

Such an action would melt even a heart of stone!
Not to mention kneeling here, the young master risked his life for them, so can't they repay him with their lives?
Zhai Lou knelt at the front, his eyes gazing deeply at the woman in front of him.
After not seeing her for such a while, she had lost a lot of weight and even her chin had become pointed.
It was all his fault. He had caused her to suffer so much for him...
When Zhai Lou thought about how she almost contracted the plague, he wanted to stab himself.
He would rather bleed himself than let her suffer like this!
"Young Master, are you fully recovered now?"
Pu Qiongzhi raised her eyelids and looked over.
I guess this business trip for Zhai Lou is not easy.
He looked a lot darker, and his eyes became much deeper.
"Of course I'm fine." Pu Qiongzhi exhaled slowly, and then signaled everyone to get up.
Zhai Lou heard that she was fine, but he still couldn't help but worry.
Just as I stood up, a tender, white and slender hand reached out.
"Where's the money from selling the medicinal herbs?" Pu Qiongzhi tilted her head and asked.
Zhai Lou couldn't help but smile when he heard that.
This is how she should be, lively and agile, and love money like her life!
"Why are you grinning like an idiot? Where's the money?" Pu Qiongzhi looked suspicious and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Zhai Lou hurriedly said, "They are all in the bank, they can't run away! Don't worry, Young Master!"
"Yes, it's not convenient to carry such a large sum of money."
Pu Qiongzhi blinked and gestured, "Do you have that number?"
I heard that the court's supply price was based on the market price, and they also gave a very low price, but the market price at that time was not low either.
However, these prices were all handled in secret, and Pu Qiongzhi really didn't know the exact amount.
