"However, the world still belongs to the emperor after all, and several princes will ascend the throne in the future. I guess it will be either the crown prince or the third prince." Yin added a few words.

After saying this, she glanced at her daughter.

"The possibility of it being the third prince is very high. Xixi, are you sure you won't regret it in the future?" Yin asked.

Liu Tangxi came to his senses and said, "Why would I regret it? My daughter has long disliked the Third Prince and doesn't even remember what he looks like."

After hearing this, Yin sighed, but she thought of something.

"The Third Prince has always liked your second sister. If he ascends the throne, your sister might become the Empress. Then, we, mother and daughter, will be in trouble." Yin said with a fierce look on her face, "No, I will never let that little bitch have an easy life."

Let the concubine suppress her and ride on her head?

Dream!

Liu Tangxi was shocked by Yin's attitude. After coming to her senses, she quickly said, "Mother, in fact, Second Sister has never taken the initiative to do anything to us. Isn't it better for us not to bother her?"

After all, the heroine never took the initiative to provoke Yin and the original owner. Moreover, the heroine now has the evidence that Yin harmed her, but she has never taken it out. Presumably, she kept it for self-protection.

"Why not? She suppressed you in every way, tried to please your father, and even snatched away your favorite third prince."

Liu Tangxi pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said, "In fact, my second sister is indeed very smart, and she also helps father with his plans. This is something that a daughter cannot compare to. Moreover, love is a matter of mutual consent. The Third Prince doesn't like me in the first place. Even if there is no second sister, there will be others."

It was no wonder that Yin Shi didn't understand all this, but Liu Lu'an was a concubine's daughter and had always suppressed her own biological daughter. As a mother, she would always feel sorry for her daughter.

"My daughter has heard a lot of stories about her childhood from Madam Shao these days. Think about it, since my second sister came of age, when has she ever suffered any harm at our hands? Every time we wanted to deal with her, she escaped." Liu Tangxi continued.

Her previous impression of Liu Luan was based on what she saw in books, that she was a paper man. So she suspected that she had betrayed her and poisoned Yin out of revenge.

However, after listening to Nanny Shao talk about what happened between her and Liu Luan when they were children, she always felt that Liu Luan was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Liu Yanan is very insightful in political affairs and sometimes has bad intentions, but in the backyard, she seems to disdain to deal with Yin and the original owner.

These two things reveal something strange.

It seems more like the Third Prince did it.

"Not only did he escape, he also had the leverage over us. In the end, we always get into trouble," said Liu Tangxi.

"Are you afraid of her?" Yin asked with concern.

Liu Tangxi is really afraid of the heroine, but she won't say it.

"How is that possible? My daughter just feels that many of the things she did before were wrong. It's better to forget about them now and start all over again. Now that my daughter is married and living a good life, she doesn't want to fight with the second sister anymore to snatch the third prince."

"Oh." Yin sighed.

"Mother, no matter who my second sister will marry, you are always her legal mother and I am her legal sister. She will never be able to surpass you in her life. If she wants to marry the third prince, won't she have to beg you and register it in your name? Then just wait for her to beg."

Yin touched Liu Tangxi's hair and said, "My daughter is kind-hearted. But we have been fighting her for so many years. Even if we let her go, she may not forgive us."

Liu Tangxi smiled and shook her head. "Mother, I don't think so. Second sister is not that kind of person. You forgot that Hebao and Ju'er are still in her hands, but she did nothing."

Yin had heard Madam Shao mention this a few days ago. She frowned but said nothing.

Liu Tangxi knew that this kind of concept could not be changed in a day or two, so he waited and persuaded him slowly.

In fact, if Yin could make it impossible for Liu Xuanan to recover, she would not say anything.

But the problem is that Yin has never succeeded.

Instead of this, it is better to do nothing.

Next door is the Prince Jin’s manor.

When Nanny Shao came just now, the prince Xie Congli was practicing sword in the yard. After hearing what was going on, he walked over.

He and Wei Hanzhou had known each other for a long time.

After the examination, Wei Hanzhou took the first place and became the champion. At that time, his essay was widely read. As the crown prince of King Jin, Xie Congli naturally did not need to take the imperial examination, but he loved reading very much and liked Wei Hanzhou's essay very much.

Unfortunately, Wei Hanzhou was very busy at that time. He was either called over by the crown prince or the third prince.

Later, when he heard that he had not agreed to either offer, Xie Congli tried to approach him.

Unexpectedly, the two hit it off and met privately several times.

Later, when Wei Hanzhou was selected as the top scorer in the palace examination and rejected the emperor's proposal, Xie Congli admired Wei Hanzhou even more.

Xie Congli had a special status, and he also knew that the emperor was jealous of their family, so he didn't dare to see them often in public.

However, now that his father has returned from the north and the situation in the capital is turbulent, he feels a lot more relaxed and is no longer as cautious as before.

This time, it was also a coincidence.

He went to the Hanlin Academy for something and learned that Wei Hanzhou wanted to write a letter to his wife. Coincidentally, he was going to bring his sister to the manor to play, so he took the initiative to take on this task.

Seeing that what Nanny Shao brought over were ordinary food and fruits, she took them.

After Madam Shao left, he wanted to put the food aside. However, the taste of the soup dumpling was so tempting. Besides, Madam Shao said to eat it while hot, so he couldn't help but eat one.

After eating one, Xie Congli couldn't help but eat a few more.

Soon, he finished the basket of buns.

"What's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?" A clear female voice rang out.

Xie Congli was about to open the second basket of buns when he heard this and suddenly remembered that his sister hadn't eaten yet.

"Well, brother, you actually ate alone without calling me! Humph!" Princess Fuping said.

Xie Congli quickly stood up and walked towards his sister.

"Sorry, I forgot. This bun is delicious. Come and try it."

Hearing this, Princess Fuping picked up the soup bag and took a bite.

"wait--"

Before Xie Congli could finish his speech, Princess Fuping screamed out in pain.

After a lot of trouble, Princess Fuping finally recovered.

Xie Congli apologized again.

He was left in the capital when he was a child and spent more than ten years there alone, feeling very lonely.

Now that his father and mother have returned, and they have brought with them a soft, adorable sister, he naturally holds her in his hands for fear that she will melt.

Seeing that my sister got burned due to my negligence, I felt very guilty.

Princess Fuping grew up in the north and had never eaten soup dumplings, so she was scalded by the soup.

Princess Fuping was angry at first and didn't want to eat it anymore, but the taste of the soup in her mouth was so good that she couldn't help but picked up another one and started eating.

This time, Xie Congli taught her, so she didn't get burned again.

The brother and sister just sat there, eating one now and then, and soon they had finished.

As for the sumptuous breakfast prepared by the palace chef, neither of them could eat it.

"It's so delicious." Princess Fuping sighed.

"Yes, it's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious buns." Xie Congli said.

Princess Fuping glanced at her brother and said, "I want to eat some at noon. Brother, please ask someone to go to his house and buy some."

It was obvious that these tableware were not from their own family, so Princess Fuping thought they were bought.

Xie Congli looked embarrassed and said, "That's a bit difficult. This is not bought, it was sent by the wife of Marquis Huai'en next door."

Huai'en Marquis Mansion?

You actually live next door?

Princess Fuping's eyes lit up.

"Brother, shall we go to the house next door to play?"

Xie Congli looked at his sister with some surprise. However, as a good brother, he would naturally meet such a small request. Besides, it was reasonable for them to express their gratitude to the wife of Marquis Huai'en for sending something.

"good."

After dinner, Yin went to rest accompanied by Nanny Shao, while Liu Tangxi went to the apple field.

Looking at this large area of ​​fruit trees, Liu Tangxi sighed.

How long will it take her to touch all these fruit trees? She'll be exhausted just from walking.

However, when he thought about how much money these fruit trees could be exchanged for, Liu Tangxi felt full of energy again.

Prices in Beijing are high, and delicious food can be sold at a high price.

In Weijia Village, she could earn five taels of silver from half an acre of land, and ten taels from an acre of land.

Here in the capital, the price has to be doubled, which is twenty taels.

Even if she didn't touch it, the tree could still make money, but after deducting the rest, it would be twenty taels.

She could earn an extra twenty taels for every acre of land she touched.

There are about fifty or sixty trees on one mu of land, and each tree costs three or four hundred coins.

The wontons near my home cost six cents a bowl, and one tree can eat sixty bowls.

Thinking about it this way, it’s worth it!

However, half an hour later, Liu Tangxi collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

She had eaten too much recently and hadn't been active for a long time, so she couldn't hold on after walking for only half an hour.

She didn't care that much. She just put the veil on the ground, sat on it and leaned against the tree.

However, I was awakened by a voice not long after I closed my eyes.

"It's you!"

Liu Tangxi was startled and slowly opened his eyes.

"That's what I said, the taste of that thing is so familiar, who else could it be but you?" Princess Fuping said with her hands on her hips.

Prince Xie Congli of Prince Jin and Princess Fuping had just arrived at the manor. When they heard that Liu Tangxi had gone out, they came to look for her.

Xie Congli didn't know that Princess Fuping knew the girl in front of him, nor did he know who the girl in front of him was. He was stunned when he saw his sister speaking to someone in such a familiar tone.

Since my sister came to the capital, she has been to the palace and to various mansions, but I have never seen her speak to anyone like this.

To be exact, he could feel his sister's closeness to this girl.

Who is this girl and why does she know my sister?

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi also wanted to say, it was indeed her!

When she heard the loud voice just now, she felt that it seemed familiar. She looked closely and saw that it was the little girl named Zhenzhen whom she met on the road.

This person is actually a princess.

After all, it was she who saved the princess' life.

Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi looked at Princess Fuping with a much friendlier look and felt that she was not so annoying anymore.

She felt like she was Princess Fuping's second parent... Bah, how could she have a daughter that age, and she couldn't have given birth to one with such a wild temper.

Looking at the little girl in front of him in black and red military uniform, and then looking at the man standing next to her, who was about twenty years old, wearing a purple suit and a jade pendant around his waist, Liu Tangxi had a rough idea in his mind.

Thinking that she was just the wife of a sixth-rank official, Liu Tangxi stood up resignedly, bowed and saluted.

"I have met the prince and the princess."

"You're welcome, young lady." Xie Congli raised his hand.

Liu Tangxi thought that this prince looked quite similar to the prince, and their voices were somewhat similar. However, the prince lacked the prince's aura and was more gentle.

"Thank you, Prince, for delivering the letter for my husband." Liu Tangxi expressed her gratitude again.

Hearing this, Xie Congli's eyes were filled with surprise. It turned out that she was Wei Hanzhou's wife.

The hottest topic in Beijing now.

After being sold, she married the daughter of a marquis who was the top scholar in the imperial examination.

After a closer look, it does look familiar.

He had seen her from a distance in the capital.

Unexpectedly, this girl is neither as arrogant nor as miserable as the rumors say. She is less flamboyant and more calm.

Although everyone felt sorry for the legitimate daughter, he felt sorry for Wei Hanzhou.

How could a scholar like Wei Hanzhou, who is so knowledgeable and insightful, marry a woman with a flamboyant and willful personality? Although the woman has a high status, she is not worthy of Wei Hanzhou's talent.

Now that I see it, I feel deeply guilty for my previous prejudice.

He should believe in Wei Hanzhou's vision. Getting the girl he likes must not be like the rumors say.

"You are too polite, madam. It's just a simple gesture." Xie Cong said politely.

This time, there was a little more intimacy than before.

Liu Tangxi looked at this polite prince and sighed slightly in his heart.

She really wanted to cheer for the prince, to make him stand up and defeat the third prince.

Unfortunately, this prince doesn’t look like a powerful person at all, and in the book he is also schemed against by the third prince.

Instead of relying on him, she thought it would be better to rely on his father, King Jian.

Seeing the two people thanking each other, Princess Fuping became impatient and said, "How do you make soup dumplings? Go and teach my chef." After saying that, she denied it herself and said, "Forget it, you should make it yourself. I'm sure the chef is clumsy and can't make it as good as you."

Liu Tangxi glanced at her and pretended not to hear.

It was almost time for her to rest, so she continued to touch her tree.

When Princess Fuping saw Liu Tangxi leaving, she hurriedly followed him.

"Hey, did you hear me? I asked you to make me a soup dumpling at noon."

Liu Tangxi said nothing.

Xie Congli frowned and said, "Zhenzhen, don't be so rude."

Princess Fuping pouted, stomped her feet in anger, and stopped where she was.

"Brother will ask someone to go to the capital to buy it for you, okay?" Xie Congli coaxed his sister.

"No!" Princess Fuping refused unhappily.

The food you buy in Beijing is not as delicious as the food made by Liu Tangxi.

After the brother and sister talked for a while, they saw Liu Tangxi walking further and further away, so Princess Fuping hurriedly followed.

"How about I give you some silver?"

"Zhenzhen! What did your brother just tell you?" Xie Congli's voice sounded a little serious.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tangxi suddenly stopped, looked at Princess Fuping, and said, "Okay, how much do you plan to give?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Fuping's eyes lit up, she stretched out her hands and said, "How about ten taels of silver?"

A smile appeared on Liu Tangxi's face. He raised his hand to high-five Princess Fuping and said, "Deal!"

Xie Congli, who was standing at the back, looked at the two people in front with a dull expression.

However, after reaching an agreement, the two began to chat.

"What are you doing?" Princess Fuping asked curiously.

She had followed Liu Tangxi for a long time, but she didn't understand what she was doing.

"Let's walk." Liu Tangxi said.

"Then why are you walking?"

"Lose weight."

"Ah? You're not fat, why do you want to lose weight?"

Princess Fuping, who was only eight years old, didn't quite understand why women liked to lose weight.

"The princess has a good eye."

Liu Tangxi thought, this person is worthy of being saved by her, as his words and actions are becoming more and more in line with her wishes.

Princess Fuping followed Liu Tangxi and asked various questions, such as what happened on the way here.

Xie Congli had other things to do, so when he saw that his sister and Liu Tangxi were getting along happily, he returned home.

After walking and stopping for an hour, Liu Tangxi felt the sun was getting brighter, so he returned to the house.

Princess Fuping still followed Liu Tangxi.

After returning to the house, Liu Tangxi went to see Yin first. Seeing Yin lying down to rest, he quietly left.

Nanny Shao glanced at Princess Fuping who was following Liu Tangxi and was a little surprised.

This little princess seems to have a good relationship with their girl. How did they know each other?

Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Tangxi said, "Mammy, please wake up mother in two quarters of an hour. I will go to the stove to prepare."

"Oh, okay."

Before reaching the kitchen, Princess Fuping smelled a fragrance.

"Wow, it smells so good." Princess Fuping sniffed and said, "What's that smell? Did you make something delicious?"

Having said that, Princess Fuping ran towards the kitchen without waiting for her answer.

Liu Tangxi walked slowly from behind, wondering, did she save a foodie? This little princess had been clamoring for food since the first time she met her, and she has been like this until now.

When Liu Tangxi walked into the kitchen, he saw Princess Fuping coming out with a disappointed look on her face.

“I thought it was something delicious.”

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Princess. It's not delicious. It's the soup I made with pork bones this morning for cooking."

Princess Fuping was quite disappointed at first, but when she heard that it was used for cooking, she suddenly became happy.

"How many soup dumplings does Princess want?" Liu Tangxi asked.

Making soup dumplings is simple, so she made them for Princess Fuping first so that she wouldn't have to follow her all the time.

"I don't want it. I'll have the dishes made with this soup at noon." Princess Fuping said.

Liu Tangxi lowered his head and looked at her, then turned away and ignored her.

It’s better not to eat the soup dumplings, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Next, Liu Tangxi started cooking.

Princess Fuping ordered food several times but Liu Tangxi ignored her.

Liu Tangxi was there to support Yin, so why would she care about her? So, she said what she wanted to say and did what she wanted to do.

When the dishes were cooked, Princess Fuping stopped talking and just swallowed her saliva.

Yin had already heard Nanny Shao say that Princess Fuping had arrived, so she was not surprised to see her now.

Although she was ill, many people came to visit her in the past few days, and she had heard something about Princess Fuping's temperament.

I heard that she grew up in the north. She is a very unruly and proud girl.

But when I saw it today, I felt that it was somewhat different from what was rumored.

The little girl was very quiet. She just kept her head down and ate without saying a word.

Before Princess Fuping had finished her meal, the prince sent someone to look for her.

Of course, Princess Fuping finished her meal before going back.

After she left, Yin asked, "When did you become so close to the princess?"

Liu Tangxi ignored what happened on the way and said, "Maybe the princess thought the buns I made were delicious today and was attracted by the food."

Yin smiled and said, "That's right, children all like to eat it."

From that day on, Princess Fuping would come over from time to time to have a meal.

Of course, Liu Tangxi received many thank-you gifts, mostly pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Seeing these things, Liu Tangxi accepted them with joy.

These things look very expensive. Even if she doesn't need them, Wei Hanzhou may need them.

After five or six days, Liu Tangxi had found out all the prices in the capital and changed the housekeepers. Prince Jian and Princess Fuping had already left and returned to the capital.

Huai Enhou has also been here two or three times.

But there was no more letter from Wei Hanzhou.

One day, Liu Tangxi had just finished touching the peach trees and walked to the edge of the field when she noticed a familiar figure walking towards her.

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou seemed to be walking faster than before, Liu Tangxi trotted towards him.

Walking up to him, Liu Tangxi asked with a smile, "Why are you here today?"

Wei Hanzhou naturally took her hand and said, "Yes."

Liu Tangxi followed him into the house and asked again, "Do you miss me so much that you can't stand the loneliness?"

Wei Hanzhou glanced at her.

"Humph, I guessed it right, right?"

Wei Hanzhou said, "I received my salary, and thinking of your instructions, I was afraid that I might waste it, so I brought it to you."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi stopped teasing Wei Hanzhou and said with a smile, "You are quite tactful."

As they talked, the two of them slowly walked into the house.

A servant had just gone in to inform Yin, so when Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi went in, Yin was already sitting in the house waiting.

"Mom." Liu Tangxi called out with a smile.

"Are you back? Is it hot outside? Are you tired? If I had known you were so concerned, I wouldn't have let you take care of this farm." Yin said distressedly, "Hurry up and prepare some warm water for the girl."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Liu Tangxi sat down next to Yin, Wei Hanzhou began to salute.

"I have met the Marquis' wife."

Yin raised her eyes and looked at Wei Hanzhou.

After watching for a while, Yin thought, I have to say, Wei Hanzhou's appearance is indeed not bad. There is only one top scholar at the age of 20 in the entire Dali Dynasty, and his future is limitless.

Moreover, Wei Hanzhou is good-looking and has a unique temperament.

You can tell at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.

What is rare is that he was not dazzled by the prosperity of the capital. Even though he was forced by the emperor, he still remained true to his original intention and treated his daughter well. He was not like the previous number one scholar who wanted to abandon his wife after becoming an official.

Likes power, but has his own bottom line.

It is really rare.

Yin already had a very good impression of Wei Hanzhou, and because Liu Tangxi had been talking about him in her ears these days, she became more and more satisfied with him the more she looked at him.

Liu Tangxi thought that Yin wanted to make things difficult for Wei Hanzhou, so she quietly tugged at her sleeve.

Yin smiled helplessly and patted her daughter's hand.

"Since you have married my daughter, we will be a family from now on. There is no need to be polite. Just call me mother-in-law."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi's eyes lit up and he looked towards Yin with eyes full of surprise.

On the other hand, Wei Hanzhou was not surprised by the insult, and calmly changed his words, "Mother-in-law, please accept my greetings."

Afterwards, Nanny Shao handed Wei Hanzhou a cup of tea.

Wei Hanzhou held it in front of Yin with both hands.

After taking a sip of tea, Yin said calmly, "Well, get up."

Looking at this scene, Liu Tangxi was extremely happy and cooked two more dishes for dinner.

That night, Liu Tangxi did not stay in the main courtyard but went to the courtyard prepared for him.

While taking a shower, she noticed the fat on her belly and her arms, which had gained some weight.

She had ignored all these at first, but when Wei Hanzhou came today, she somehow saw them again.

Liu Tangxi deceived herself by putting on a loose undershirt and pretending that she didn't see it.

However, when she sat on the bed and saw that Wei Hanzhou's underwear seemed to be looser than before, she suddenly felt unbalanced.

"Why have you lost weight?" Liu Tangxi asked.

Wei Hanzhou glanced at the lady whose face was much rounder than before and said, "I'm sure you know Mrs. Chen's craftsmanship."

Liu Tangxi blinked.

I thought, she doesn’t understand.

She has a golden finger. No matter how bad the rice cooked by Mrs. Chen tastes, it tastes okay in her mouth. However, it is indeed not very delicious.

However, why did she hear resentment in Wei Hanzhou's tone?

"Then I'll make you more of what you want to eat. You can eat more in the next few days." Liu Tangxi said.

Wei Hanzhou sighed.

It seems that my wife doesn't plan to go back with him.

"Go to sleep." Wei Hanzhou blew out the oil lamp in the room.

Liu Tangxi indeed had no plan to go back with Wei Hanzhou right now. She had not yet finished planting the fruit trees, and Yin's illness had not yet fully recovered and she needed more recuperation.

After lying on the bed, Liu Tangxi deliberately teased Wei Hanzhou and said, "How about I give you some of my flesh?"

In the darkness, Wei Hanzhou glanced at her and said nothing.

"Why, you still don't want to?"

Wei Hanzhou said helplessly, "My wife has worked so hard to raise this meat, so you should keep it for yourself."

Unexpectedly, just after he finished speaking, Liu Tangxi, who was lying beside him, suddenly turned towards him and asked in a very serious tone, "So, you mean I'm fat?"

Wei Hanzhou was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that they had discussed this question a long time ago. So, after a moment, he gave an answer against his conscience.

"no."

Liu Tangxi then said, "Does this question take so long to answer? Are you lying to me?"

Wei Hanzhou...,,,
