Li Jiang was driving and Gu Yue followed behind with her eyelids drooping.

When she saw the concubine, Wen Yu immediately told her what had just happened.

"Looking at Master Wen's expression, he seems quite serious. I think this will be a good thing for Zhuzhu as well. What do you think?"

The concubine nodded and said, "Lord Wen, I have heard a lot about him in the boudoir. He is open-minded, upright, and very smart. He has a unique way of calculating tax laws. The emperor values ​​him very much! I have also heard about his family affairs. His father is henpecked. After the princess and her husband died, the family was in a mess! But even if we are willing, don't agree to it yet. The old lady in his family may want to get involved. Although Zhuzhu does not have a good family background, she is not too bad with our protection. In this case, don't give her an excuse to cling to the rich."

Wen Yu then realized: "You are right, I didn't think it through."

"Yes. Zhuzhu is innocent and simple-minded...it also depends on how Mr. Wen recognizes his daughter."

"From what he said, it's going to be very grand! Not to mention, after spending a few days together, even the way they talk is a bit similar. Zhuzhu has become more calm!"

Yan Zhu interrupted: "Zhu Zhu is usually calm!"

The concubine smiled.

"How is your place?"

Before the concubine could say anything, the female official in front came and said, "Your Highness, please ask the concubine to bring the guests over."

"Let's go! Let's talk on the way..."

The two walked forward hand in hand. "Since returning from the hot spring, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in good health. The affairs of the Eastern Palace are also going smoothly. A few days ago, on a rainy night, the Crown Prince caught a cold. To prevent him from getting sick, the Crown Prince let him rest."

"It's not too cold now, but it will definitely be a little cooler if it rains. How do the people down there serve you?"

"The two eunuchs around him are usually very considerate. But that day... the crown prince asked about it, and the eunuch on duty said that he didn't know why... he fell asleep."

"Ah? Pingting, is there anyone here?"

Jiang Pingting pulled her along. At this time, a group of people came over. The one walking in front was the Crown Princess, who raised her chin high. She walked in front of Wen Yu and her group and stopped.

"Your Highness!" Jiang Pingting knelt down and saluted.

Wen Yu had no imperial edict on her, so in this situation, she had to kneel down and say, "Greetings to the Crown Princess." Yan Zhu and Laba, who was holding something, also knelt down.

Xue Ying didn't say anything, but the female official next to her spoke up: "General, Concubine, who are these people?!"

"This is the Fifth Madam of the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion and her entourage. They are summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come and see the Emperor."

"Have you checked everything? What did you take?" Xue Ying asked.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring it... specifically..."

"Open this palace and take a look!"

The eunuch beside the prince came over and said, "Your Highness, why haven't they arrived yet?!"

Xue Ying looked at the few people viciously, then flicked her sleeves and left.

Wen Yu secretly sighed at her bad luck, stood up and dusted herself off.

"Let's go!" said the concubine without any expression.

The prince had already put on his jacket. In a corner of the hall, a charcoal stove was lit, but the grandson was not around.

Everyone bowed and the prince smiled and said, "Wen Yu, Yan Zhu, how is the business of the shop?" His voice was a little hoarse.

Wen Yu and Yan Zhu reported back and forth. Wen Yu also said with a smile: "Your Highness, my shop is a major taxpayer on that street. You must reward me at the end of this year!"

The prince laughed and coughed twice, "Great! There is a reward! Write it down and remind me later to give suggestions to the emperor. For merchants who have made great contributions to the court, they will be rewarded."

Gu Yue was waiting outside the palace gate. He thought Li Jiang was too nagging, so he paced a little further away from the car.

His real name is Hu Fei. He was born with white hair and white eyebrows.

At that time, although the elders did not throw him away out of disgust, they were almost worried to death.

Unexpectedly, he was extremely talented! Moreover, he was a good kid. He knew his own name at the age of one and could recite hundreds of poems at the age of three.

From the age of five, he immersed himself in endless schoolwork all day long, studying literature and practicing martial arts, and he did the same thing day after day for years without feeling bored at all.

He is good at playing chess and dancing with a sword. He is also good at various arts and general things.

Having raised such an outstanding descendant, the elders probably boasted about it a lot when they were offering incense to their ancestors.

Unexpectedly, when he reached adulthood and was supposed to get married, a big problem arose. The reason was that he refused to get married. The reason for not getting married was: there was no one he liked! Because he was so special, his parents and elders did not dare to impose the secular rules on him, so girls from hundreds of miles around made portraits for him to see. Even girls from the capital came...

As a result, not only did it fail, but it also aroused his rebelliousness.

Four words: Never get married!

The family invited masters and scholars to persuade him, but none of them could convince him. He was not afraid of the hard way and just took the initiative.

While others were worrying about his marriage, he was working and creating a lot of income for the family.

The elders of the tribe spent their time in a daze, mixed with happiness and torment.

It was not until that year that he saved Yang Rushi while he was out.

Until now, he still couldn't figure out what kind of feelings he had for her.

That extremely beautiful woman who was destroyed like a rag doll. For a long time after I saved her, she was in fear, panic, madness, and isolation. She even self-harmed...

He didn't know what kind of emotion Yang Rushi evoked in his heart, but he was obsessed with it.

He took care of her with his own hands, without asking anyone else to help him. He had seen her at her ugliest and most humble.

I even got beaten and scolded by her when she went crazy...

They took her back to the Hu family and invited numerous famous doctors to see her, but they all said that she was over-stimulated and was isolating herself.

Closed? Then I'll pull you out! So he told the Hu family that he wanted to marry her.

This of course caused a great uproar in the Hu family. But the more others tried to stop him, the more he insisted.

He is uncompromising and seems willing to give up everything for her at any time, even to die with her!

The family had no choice but to give in again.

A few years after getting married, Yang Rushi was still not sober.

He never despises me. He accompanies me, pampers me, comforts me, and takes care of me. He never forces me...

Yang Rushi's condition improved, and she knew who she was. But she was like a faint, empty shadow. She didn't speak or move, and just sat in the room all day.

Apart from official duties, he spends time with his wife.

It was hard to say whether the days were happy or unhappy, but he accepted his fate, as if this was what he deserved.

Until, she died...he went crazy!

Hu Fei paced back and forth beside the carriage. What happened today made him uneasy.

Before I was fully awake, I already recognized Yan Zhu...

I don’t know if it’s because she’s pretty, or because of her kindness when she fed him, or something else…

He followed her, followed her to the shop, and followed her home. At night, he found a corner to hide. During the day, he had to endure Li Jiang, the nagging ghost... It was not easy for him.

But this behavior has become a habit for him. He doesn't know why, but he has to do it.

Until he woke up... he found that his torn heart had been healed by the beautiful woman in front of him and was reborn.

He did not return to his clan, nor did he even send a message to his residence in the capital.

He wanted to marry her, but he didn't plan to take her back home, because his family would definitely object. However, he would still fight and win.

But he didn't want to go through it again.

This beautiful emotion should be blessed by everyone, instead of looking at it with a critical and scrutinizing eye.

She is perfect, and he is the imperfect one. He is the one who is trying to reach higher...and those people won't understand.

They only care about the prosperity of the Hu family. They care about the name of "East Hu and West Bai". How happy are those elders for the fall of the Bai family! They think that the Hu family has finally surpassed the Bai family...

He didn't want Zhuzhu to go through what Yang Rushi had gone through.

But if you want to marry her, you have to be able to support her.

How could he afford it? He hadn't thought of the next step, but was disrupted by Wen Ruoqing. He actually wanted to take Zhuzhu as his adopted daughter. What was even more terrifying was that Wen Ruoqing was obviously unhappy that he was with Yan Zhu!

I’m so angry!

Just as he was walking back and forth, two people came out of the East Palace and were about to get into the car.

One of them accidentally glanced at him and saw his back. He was suddenly stunned...

"Huh?" Seeing him stop, another person was puzzled.

"Look..." He pulled the person next to him and hid on the side of the carriage.

Hu Fei walked over and now turned around.

The two people almost cried out, is it him? They rubbed their eyes, why is it a black eyebrow?

Her hair was wrapped up and her appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Is it him?"

"……picture!"

"But...the eyebrow color is wrong. And why is he here?"

"Look at that jade pendant!" One of them saw it and pointed at it tremblingly.

"Oh my God! First..." Another one was about to pounce.

His companion pulled him back: "Don't worry! We don't know what's going on. If he's not awake yet, or wants to run away, we can't stop him."

"What should we do then?"

"Follow him, but don't get too close. See where he settles down. Then don't leave. Send someone to send a letter back. I'll go back and send a message to Old Shi. I'll bring someone to look for you. If he settles down in the capital, there's no need to rush to recognize him. If he's just here temporarily and has to leave... then we have to arrest him no matter what!"

"Okay! Go quickly!"

"You must keep an eye on him..." He was still worried and thought: "He came in a car? He stopped here. Is he also going to the East Palace? Is he waiting for someone?" After saying that, he took out some silver from his pocket, bowed and nodded to bribe the guard, and asked who the car belonged to.

The guard looked at the generous reward and said, "That is the carriage of the fifth wife of the Zhenyuan Marquis family."

The two men thanked him and stepped back, looking at each other, "Marquis Zhenyuan? I don't recognize him! Why are you following his fifth wife's carriage?"

"Never mind for now. Keep an eye on him. I'll go back and send a pigeon to inform Mr. Shi!"

The stinky boys asked: Are you serious about naming yourself "Hu Fei"?

Author’s answer: I am mentally retarded.
