Chapter 22: Pretending to be a good person
When Mu He lay down again, she almost didn't dare to look at the little palace maid's expression.
How embarrassing.
She gave the amulet to the prince.
But I still can't understand why it has become like this in such a short period of time... The prince even has such a strong possessiveness for the princess's things!
"...Sister Muhe." The little palace maid said in a low voice.
"Shut up, stop talking! Go out, I...I want to rest." Mu He pulled the quilt to cover his head.
With my emotions so fluctuating, I actually forgot how terrifying the corpse was.
The amulet that Cheng Nianying lent me really worked.
…
Fu Yi sat in the study, playing with the amulet.
“There is Sanskrit on it, but the Sanskrit is drawn incorrectly.”
As he spoke, he pulled the dagger from Wu Xun's waist, and with a light poke, he opened all the stitches on the edge of the amulet, revealing the bulging grass leaves stuck inside.
The grass leaves are dry and yellow, and the edges are even starting to turn black.
Wu Xun curiously poked his head in and said, "I thought there was some poison hidden inside."
Fu Yi: "It's poison."
Wu Xun: "What?!" He quickly knocked the amulet to the ground.
Fu Yi: "..." "You have an impatient temper, you should be punished."
Wu Xun's face turned red and he knelt on the ground.
"Pick it up."
"Yes, yes. But you said this thing..."
"The person who made the amulet is incredibly wicked. They used something that claimed to be consecrated by a high monk, but even the Sanskrit words were incorrectly painted, and it was filled with grass leaves. I wonder how much silver they got from the princess?"
Wu Xun was stunned.
That's what I said...
Why does the Princess seem a little pitiful?
"The Marquis's Mansion is not short of money."
"She needs it." Fu Yi spoke slowly but with great certainty.
"Sew this thing back." Fu Yi said again.
"Since it's a fake amulet, why don't you tell her directly? You can also see the Princess's reaction."
"You took someone's precious things and then complained about their things. Doing things like this really makes people hate you."
Wu Xun looked embarrassed.
The master is kind.
No... That girl from the Marquis' Mansion is already on the opposite side of us! Master, are you still afraid of her hatred?
"Take it and sew it." Fu Yi turned and picked up the book beside him.
Wu Xun: "Master, I don't know how to do that..."
"Then find a very good embroiderer."
Wu Xun had no choice but to pack it up carefully and quickly go find the embroiderer.
"Where did you grow out of?" Fu Yi turned a page of the book with interest.

Cheng Nianying sat down opposite the girls from the Wei family and the Meng family.
The Meng family girl asked nervously, "What are we going to play?"
Wei Yanhua said, "Let's play the Flying Flower Order."
Does it mean that the man will only appear after playing a round?
Cheng Nianying said, "Okay."
But she didn't know how to play the Feihua Ling. Then she thought that she was the princess of a county prince... Cheng Nianying felt relieved.
Let’s start with Wei Yanhua.
Then to the girl from the Meng family.
Cheng Nianying listened quietly from beginning to end. When the person finished reciting the poem, she only had to give a sincere comment: "Excellent!"
"It's the Princess's turn." Wei Yanhua looked at Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying brought the teacup to her lips, lowered her head and took a sip, saying, "I like watching you recite poetry."
Wei Yanhua and Miss Meng exchanged a glance, then said, "Okay, then I'll compose a song and sing it for the Princess."
really!
No one dared to ask her!
Cheng Nianying thought to herself that being a princess of a county prince was truly wonderful. ...No, no, I must not be greedy. She pushed the thought out of her mind.
After both of them performed.
Cheng Nianying felt that the time was almost up, so she raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for each of them: "You are thirsty too, drink some water."
The Meng family girl was flattered and stood up to take the teacup: "How dare you trouble the princess?"
Cheng Nianying: "Just pouring tea."
She dismissed the maid and said to the two people opposite: "You can also send the maid away, let's talk in private."
The girl from the Meng family felt even more flattered, her cheeks flushed: "Yes, yes."
She did so first, followed by Wei Yanhua.
But what could she say? The Meng family girl held the cup, turned it around with difficulty, and began to speak cautiously, "I didn't know before that the Princess of the County was so good..."
Her voice was too soft and she hadn't finished her words.
Cheng Nianying stared at Wei Yanhua before speaking, "Why did Miss Wei think of inviting me here?"
Wei Yanhua's eyes flickered: "Then why did the Princess come here?"
There's no one else anyway.
Cheng Nianying asked tentatively, "Someone told you to invite me, right? Where is that person?"
"It's right there." Wei Yanhua pointed sideways.
Cheng Nianying turned her head and looked.
It was a two-story building with closed windows, and no one could be seen inside.
"Thank you for letting me know." Cheng Nianying stood up and was about to go over there.
Wei Yanhua stopped her: "Wait a minute."
Cheng Nianying turned around with a puzzled look on her face.
Wei Yanhua stared at her. "He always praises you for your beauty, gentleness, and proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In short, you're a hundred times better than me..."
When Cheng Nianying heard this, she slowly frowned.
The girl from the Wei family really did have an affair with that man.
Fortunately, she killed that man today.
Benefiting tens of millions of families.
Wei Yanhua suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Cheng Nianying: "If you want to see him, you must make me sincerely admit defeat to you today, Princess."
The Meng family girl stood up in confusion: "Sister Wei, what are you talking about?"
Wei Yanhua turned around and scolded: "You don't understand anything, go out and wait."
The girl from the Meng family's eyes turned red, and she had to take two steps back from the pavilion.
Cheng Nianying frowned: "Are you going to stop me?"
Wei Yanhua lowered her eyes: "Yes, this is the Wei Mansion, it's my home. If I say I can stop the Princess, then I can stop her."
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips. No wonder he said he wanted to compete with her in the flying flower order. But she couldn't play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting...
She said, "Let's compare something else."
Wei Yanhua's voice turned cold: "I think so too. If we were to compete in archery, would you dare?"
Cheng Nianying: "...Okay."
She suppressed herself and didn't show too much happiness.
The girl from the Meng family couldn't help but want to persuade her: "Sister Wei, what exactly do you want to do?"
Wei Yanhua ignored her and only ordered the servants to bring the target and bow and arrows.
"I won't be polite. Let me start first." Wei Yanhua took the bow and arrow from the servant and shot three arrows.
All in the bull's eye.
The girl from the Meng family was so shocked that she was speechless.
Cheng Nianying's eyes also lit up slightly.
What beautiful kung fu!
She remembered that the prince said the Wei family girl's father was a military officer...
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Wei Yanhua turned to look at her.
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips lightly, took the bow and arrow from Wei Yanhua, and without even looking at it, shot three arrows.
The girl from the Meng family exclaimed and looked again.
The three arrows shot by Wei Yanhua were all split by the three arrows that followed.
Cheng Nianying smiled and said, "How is it?"
Wei Yanhua was stunned, then seemed to be angry. She snatched the bow and arrow and threw it to the ground: "Go away! It can only be considered a draw! Go away!"
"Send the Princess away!"
She urged the servant beside her.
The servants were at a loss, but they could only follow her instructions and surround Cheng Nianying: "Princess, please."
Cheng Nianying was stunned for a moment, and the servants of the Marquis' Mansion faintly heard the noise and immediately rushed in from outside to pull her away: "Let's go, this Wei family is really rude!"
Cheng Nianying frowned. Is it so difficult to meet that man?
Everyone just crowded around her as she walked out, and the girl from the Meng family quickly chased after her to apologize: "Sister Wei has never been like this. Please forgive her, Princess..."
Wei Yanhua squatted down at the back, slowly picked up the bow and arrow, then slowly turned around and walked towards the two-story building.
As soon as he entered the room, he was slapped to the ground. "Why are you pretending to be a good person now? Didn't I tell you that you must bring her to me?"
