Chapter 192: How many times did you take the medicine?
A dark shadow rushed over and snatched the banknotes on the table.
Everyone was caught off guard and had no time to react.
However, Zi Yan reacted very quickly and kicked the person away.
The man tightly grasped the stolen banknotes and rolled on the ground. He immediately got up and shouted, "How dare you, a mere princess, be so disrespectful to the Fourth Prince?"
"He wants your money because he thinks highly of you. Shame on you, give all your money to the Fourth Prince as an apology."
Such bizarre words shocked the whole audience.
Everyone was stunned. Who was this? She was wearing old clothes and looked like a servant.
Ah, no, this is the wife of the Marquis of Pingxi, Jiang Wenzhou's biological mother. Why is she here to steal money? Why didn't I realize she was so shameless before?
The Marquis's wife handed the banknotes in her hands to the Fourth Prince with both hands and gave him a flattering smile, "Fourth Prince, I will help you deal with her."
The Pingxi Marquis' Mansion has already been defeated. Only by clinging to the emperor's thigh and relying on his merits can it have a chance to turn the tide.
For this, she risked everything and even lost face.
The Fourth Prince had an idea. If someone was fighting for him, why not?
What he wants is not money, but blessing, a dispute of pride.
I am unwilling to accept this, I am not convinced. How can I let the Third Prince's Mansion take the lead?
To put it bluntly, he is just competitive and doesn't want to lose to other princes even in such a small matter.
He also didn't want Yun Zheng to be won over by the Third Prince.
The Marquis' wife got the tacit approval and immediately became arrogant. She rushed towards Yun Zheng again, raised her right hand high, and slapped her, "Slap your mouth."
This slap was due to a personal grudge and was delivered with all the strength in his body.
Zi Yan kicked the person over again. This time, she did not hold back and kicked out with real force. The Marquis's wife flew up and fell heavily to the ground.
The Marquis's wife was in so much pain all over her body that she couldn't even get up.
Seeing this, Jiang Shurong hurried forward to help Madam Hou up and shouted, "Yun Zheng, this is your ex-mother-in-law. How can you treat an elder like this?"
They are sisters-in-law, so naturally they speak on her side.
Yun Zheng glanced at her indifferently, with disdain and disdain, "If you're not married yet, how can you call her an ex-mother-in-law?"
"Even the Pingxi Marquisate was invited? After such a defeat, with only the title in vain, I thought he was banished from the social circle."
If you hit someone, hit them in the face. It’s that sharp.
The Fourth Prince spoke coldly, "Princess Jinyun is so disrespectful to her elders. Her character is worrying."
Yun Zheng sneered, "Fourth Prince, are you colluding with the Pingxi Marquisate and the Qian family to form a clique for personal gain and exclude those who are dissidents?"
The Fourth Prince's expression changed slightly. "Nonsense, I'm just speaking the truth."
Yun Zheng looked him over seriously. "With your brain, you still want to seize the throne? Is there no one left in the royal family?"
The whole place was unusually quiet; she was so brave.
The third prince smiled secretly, he is indeed the best mouth substitute, hahahaha.
It's uncomfortable when she's arguing with herself, but it feels great when I see her arguing with others.
The Fourth Prince couldn't help but get angry and said, "Yun Zheng."
The Marquis's wife yelled, "Yun Zheng, how dare you disrespect the prince? Are you planning a rebellion?"
She is imitating Yun Zheng's way of doing things, which is to put a big accusation on others first.
Yun Zheng angrily asked, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? Only the emperor can control me in this world."
When everyone's attention was drawn away, the teapot on the small red stove in the corner made a puffing sound and the water boiled.
The nanny in charge of making tea lifted the lid of the teapot, and with her fingers hidden under her wide sleeves, she flicked the lid, and a pill popped in silently.
Zong Zheng stepped forward to smooth things over, "Alright, stop making trouble, peace is the most important thing."
He is the emperor's uncle and the only surviving elder of the royal family. He is responsible for the daily affairs of the emperor's relatives and foreign relatives and nobles, and is extremely influential in the royal family.
"Come on, let's have a drink together and let this matter be over."
As soon as he opened his mouth, not only the nobles but even the princes had to give him face.
He shouted loudly, "Madam Pingxi Hou, please offer a toast to Princess Jinyun as an apology."
He is quite old and has seen through many things.
Although Yun Zheng is a woman, the money she earned last time was distributed to the royal family. The clan office under his charge no longer has to work so hard and can only wait for the emperor to allocate funds.
The emperor himself doesn't have enough to spend.
He is in a high position and has great power. He is the emperor's uncle and no one dares to offend him. At such an old age, he just wants to enjoy himself.
Madam Hou's face flushed, "I'm not wrong."
Zong Zheng frowned and scolded, "Then please go back. You are not welcome here."
The Marquis's wife immediately became timid. This time, her husband was sick and unwilling to come, so she volunteered to go, just to find an opportunity for her family to connect with the princes.
One of these four princes will ascend the throne.
It’s best to be safe and try to have four relationships at the same time, but how do you get on the same page?
"Then it's up to you."
Zong Zheng turned around, smiled, and raised his glass. "Princess Jinyun, it's better to make friends than to dissolve enemies. You are the first female official in this dynasty, and you deserve congratulations."
He personally supported Yun Zheng. Everyone was surprised, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They all raised their glasses and said, "Yes, let's drink this together to congratulate Princess Jinyun."
When the maid saw that there was no wine glass in front of Yun Zheng, she specially brought a brand new wine glass and filled it with wine.
Yun Zheng didn't take the wine glass, but raised her teacup with a smile, "Thank you very much, but I'm allergic to alcohol and it causes a rash, so I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you all. I'll drink first as a token of my respect."
She drank it all in one gulp.
The maid's eyes narrowed.
The Fourth Prince couldn't help but sneer, "Haha, what do you mean by a rash? That's clearly an excuse. You're clearly insincere and look down on me."
The third prince shook his head slightly. His fourth brother was too competitive and had been brooding over the fact that he had not been able to suppress Yun Zheng in the previous few times.
Yun Zheng was a little annoyed with the Fourth Prince, who had no tolerance for others. If such a person became the emperor, this country would be doomed.
"You're wrong."
"What?"
Yun Zheng said calmly, "If I looked down on someone, I wouldn't make excuses, I'd just reject them directly."
"Fourth Prince, when have you ever looked at me more than once? When have you ever spoken to me?"
The Fourth Prince was stunned, then flew into a rage, "How dare you."
The Zongzheng had a terrible headache. The princes were too proud. They had never suffered any loss since they were young, but they suffered a loss at the hands of Yun Zheng, and they had to get back at him.
"Fourth Prince, there's no need to be so hostile with the princess. We all serve in the same court, and we might even need to cooperate in the future. We might even have to rely on the princess to help us become rich."
The Fourth Prince's heart moved, "Alright, give my uncle some face, Princess Jinyun will use tea instead of wine. One cup is not enough, three cups are required."
He raised his glass first, and everyone followed suit, waiting with their glasses held high.
Zong Zheng looked at Yun Zheng's empty teacup and said loudly, "Come here, serve Princess Jinyun a cup of new tea. The newly-delivered tribute, the Rain-Before Longjing, is quite good. Let's brew that."
Mammy picked up the teapot on the small red stove and made a cup of hot tea.
The maid brought hot tea to Yun Zheng, lowered her eyes, picked up the glass of wine and stepped back, pouring the wine into the dark, and the glass was empty.
Yun Zheng raised her teacup with a smile, "Please."
At this moment, the significance of a woman reaching a high position became concrete.
Only when you have power will you be noticed by the world and your words will be effective. Even if some people are not convinced in their hearts, you have to hold it in.
She put the teacup to her lips and tilted her head back slightly.
A dark light flashed in the maid's eyes, drink, drink quickly!
