Chapter 87 Ninth Prince's Birthday
Little Loquat quietly pulled Wen Yingxue, and the two walked behind the main group and talked in whispers.
"This Seventh Princess is so annoying and ugly. I don't want to play with her at all." Little Loquat said with a look of disgust.
Wen Yingxue smiled and said, "She just feels uncomfortable because she can't eat the grapes, so she wants to make trouble. Don't worry about her.
How have you been lately?"
Little Loquat nodded and smiled happily: "That's great, Daddy loves me so much. He has been idle at home all this time and eats with me every day.
And Xiao Yuanzi comes over every day to bring me delicious food."
"Really? What delicious food are they? Come back and tell me about it so I can try some too."
"OK."
"Wen Yingxue, I have something to tell you." Lin Youwan's voice suddenly came, and Xiao Loquat and Wen Yingxue immediately stopped talking.
Wen Yingxue narrowed her eyes, looked at Lin Youwan, and then said to Little Loquat, "Little Loquat, how about you go first?"
Little Loquat looked at Lin Youwan, nodded, and walked away: "Then I'll go first."
Seeing Little Loquat walking away, Wen Yingxue asked Lin Youwan, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lin Youwan walked towards Wen Yingxue step by step and said, "Who are you? I've thought carefully about this journey, and it seems like you've always been ahead of me. Did you really travel through time? Or were you reborn?"
Wen Yingxue glanced at Lin Youwan, who had a murderous look on her face, and rolled her eyes at her: "Why should I tell you?"
"You!" Lin Youwan's eyes turned cold, and the dagger in her hand was exposed. Wen Yingxue was not to be outdone, and she grabbed Lin Youwan's wrist.
"Hehe, I was afraid of you before, but I'm not afraid now. Last time you dared to pinch my breasts, this time I must take revenge."
"Don't mention the last time to me. How can you, a man who fights with his teeth, have the nerve to say such things?"
Wen Yingxue stuck out her tongue proudly: "Hehe, I won't compete with you. This is how we ordinary people fight."
Lin Youwan was furious. She broke free from Wen Yingxue's hand and raised her leg to kick her. Halfway through, her head suddenly tilted back and Wen Yingxue grabbed her hair.
"Hiss! How dare you pull my hair?" Lin Youwan half-turned around and elbowed Wen Yingxue in the side, causing her so much pain that she was about to cry.
The two separated, Lin Youwan was holding three poison needles in her hand and was about to throw them out, while Wen Yingxue pointed the rain of pear blossom needles on her wrist at Lin Youwan.
Lin Youwan stopped moving immediately and frowned. She was not completely sure that she could avoid all the heavy rain of pear blossom needles.
"Hehe, aren't you crazy? Aren't you cool? How come you turned into a bug? Huh?" Wen Yingxue smiled proudly.
Lin Youwan said coldly: "Just wait!"
"Who doesn't know how to brag? Just wait and see."
At this time, Little Loquat's voice came again: "What are you two doing?"
Seeing that everyone was seated but Wen Yingxue and Lin Youwan had not arrived yet, she came over to look for them, only to see the two of them confronting each other.
Lin Youwan took back the silver needle, Wen Yingxue put down the rain of pear blossom needles, and they smiled at Xiao Loquat and said in unison.
"Nothing."
After saying that, the two looked at each other again, with contempt in each of their eyes.
Little Loquat looked at this and that, then said, "Everyone in front has already taken their seats, let's go too."
Wen Yingxue hummed, took Xiao Loquat's arm and left.
Lin Youwan followed behind.
The three of them arrived late, and there was only one empty seat at a table, and sitting at that table were the dean of studies and Mrs. Zhang.
Helplessly, the three of them had to share a table with the two of them.
As soon as they sat down, the dean of studies and Lin Youwan looked at Wen Yingxue unkindly. Madam Zhang didn't dare to speak much because of what happened before, and just sat quietly aside.
Wen Yingxue ignored Lin Youwan and Madam Li, and only spoke in a low voice to Little Loquat.
Wen Yingxue was stared at by two women, but she didn't feel uncomfortable and ate and drank heartily.
After the meal, the Dean and Lin Youwan were too busy staring at Wen Yingxue to eat a single bite. Madam Zhang didn't dare to eat either, so only Wen Yingxue and Little Loquat ate their fill.
As the banquet ended, the guests left one after another.
In the carriage, Nie Chubai asked Wen Yingxue, "How was it? Did you show off your power today?"
Wen Yingxue shook her head. "It didn't happen. The Seventh Princess is here, and from the looks of her, she seems to know about the Fifth Prince's rebellion."
Nie Chubai sneered, "With her intelligence, the Fifth Prince and Concubine Gao wouldn't tell her. The most she knows is that the Emperor is seriously ill and dying, and that the Fifth Prince will inherit the throne."
After thinking about it, Wen Yingxue felt that what Nie Chubai said was quite right.
"So how is the emperor now?"
Nie Chubai said, "Although the poison has been removed, his body is very weak now. I asked Guan Ziming to wear a human skin mask and pretend to be the imperial physician to take care of the emperor in the palace."
Wen Yingxue nodded, then said, "How are your deployments going? Do you know when the Fifth Prince plans to start his rebellion?"
The time in the book is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and I don’t know if it has changed here.
"It's the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month." Nie Chubai said.
"Sure enough, it's probably the same as what's written in the book. He used the excuse of giving out Laba porridge to break into the homes of many generals and important officials and took their families as hostages." Wen Yingxue said.
"So, we can't do what he wants. We started in mid-November." Nie Chubai said with a smile.
For a period of time afterwards, Wen Yingxue stayed in the general's mansion and never went out. Wu Nan would find out what was happening outside and then tell her about it.
Since the Hao family returned from the banquet, there have been fewer insults directed at Wen Yingxue, but there are still quite a few.
Wen Yingxue didn't care anymore and let the rumors fly.
In early November, a grand banquet was held to celebrate the Ninth Prince’s birthday.
Nie Chubai took Wen Yingxue to the banquet.
After entering the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Wen Yingxue saw Zi Su, whom she had not seen for many days.
Today she was wearing a purple brocade jacket with hundreds of butterflies and flowers, a light green pleated skirt underneath, and her hair was in a bun, with pearls and jade all over it.
Zi Su saw Wen Yingxue and immediately came over to greet her: "Madam, you are here. I missed you so much. But that guy Qi Chen won't let me leave the house."
Wen Yingxue pinched Zi Su's rounder cheek and said, "Is the Ninth Prince good to you?"
In order to steal the Thousand-Leaf Lotus, Zi Su disguised herself as a dancer to get close to the Ninth Prince. Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince had never been interested in women since he was a child, but he was attracted by Zi Su.
What is written in the book is similar to the current situation. The Ninth Prince also asked for Zi Su, and because of the relationship between Zi Su and Nie Chubai, he bet all his wealth on the Eighth Prince.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end, and he was even imprisoned.
Zi Su had become the ninth prince's concubine at that time, but her identity was discovered by the new emperor, and she was sentenced to death.
The ninth prince risked his life to save Zi Su in a rage for his beloved, but in the end both of them died miserably.
It was not until the moment of her death that Zi Su realized that the Ninth Prince loved her.
