Chapter 37
Bai Zhenzhen felt somewhat mad . She was crazily grabbing her own hair . “Impossible? How come you are here, Are you one of Jiangnan’s Gu Family’s people?”
Before they arrived, she and the Third Prince thought about what kind of person was in charge of everything . Their opinion was surprisingly identical . They believed that the other party was a middle-aged man of roughly forty or fifty years old .
But Bai Zhenzhen did not expect this . She was now unexpectedly looking at Ye Shaohua! Ye Shaohua was that richest man in Jiangnan? How big is her ability?
Bai Zhenzhen felt that this ancient time really was ridiculous!
The Third Prince’s shock was also not one bit smaller than Bai Zhenzhen’s . From a certain point of view, it could even be said that he was even more shocked than Bai Zhenzhen .
It turned out that that person in Jiangnan was her . Many people who didn’t realize it before now realized it .
No wonder, it was no wonder that General Su could come from the border in just a short night .
No wonder the Crown Prince’s condition could be stabilized .
There were countless people under Jiangnan’s richest individual . As long as they wanted to do something, it was basically impossible that it couldn’t be done .
He thought about the time his Imperial Father wanted him to marry Ye Shaohua . He was not at all biased, because his Imperial Father knew that Ye Shaohua’s ident.i.ty was not simple! Yet, against reason, he thought his Imperial Father was biased…
The Third Prince’s pupils were filled with remorse, he wished he could punch himself awake .
Why did you have the heart to refuse? Why did you have the heart? !
The Crown Prince sitting behind the muslin screen raised his head and gazed in the Third Prince’s direction . His voice was very cool . “For what reason are you all still staring blankly? If Imperial Father knew criminal suspects escaped, he would have you eating only fruits . ”
Ye Shaohua ‘shua’ raised her folding fan and slammed it in her hand . She originally intended to play with Bai Zhenzhen, but she hadn’t expected Bai Zhenzhen’s inner quality to be so lacking . “All right, take hold of them and take them away ba . ”
The Third Prince, seemingly having gone insane, was howling loudly .
Bai Zhenzhen was taken away by the rigid Head of the Imperial Bodyguards .
She originally thought that, as a transmigrated woman, she would be the person at the peak of this world . She even thought that if she told Ye Shaohua and the others that she was the hidden head of Fengya Lou, Ye family would shamelessly try to curry favor with her .
Ye Shaohua actually possessed such a high wealth that she could not even reach in her lifetime . If she gave her Fengya Lou to Ye Shaohua, she reckoned that Ye Shaohua would absolutely not feel like wanting it .
When she was not in touch with reality and looked down on the people of this era, the other side had already stepped on top of her shoulder .
Bai Zhenzhen was blus.h.i.+ng purple, an indescribable shame and shyness spread from the chest .
Even if her chess skills were good, even her biggest back-up was nothing compared to Ye Shaohua . Bai Zhenzhen’s set up on high superiority as a modern person disappeared in a flash . She wished she could dig a big hole and jump into it .
Outside Tianji Lou .
“Shaohua, is that person Fang Tuo?” Little Aunt Ye came down from a gorgeous sedan chair that just arrived . Ignoring the Third Prince and the others, her eyes were ultimately fixed on Fang Tuo . “I heard sister-in-law say that the Imperial Court’s most outstanding person was this youngster . He is standing in the wrong team . You, if you’d like, I can persuade older brother a bit…”
She didn’t notice the smile on the increasingly splendid Crown Prince, on the side .
“Aunt, the heart of this person is bound to Second Miss Bai, you shouldn’t blindly want to mix with him . ” Ye Shaohua’s eyes looked at Little Aunt Ye’s forehead, her voice suddenly lowered “What happened?”
After Little Aunt Ye heard the previous sentence, she did not mention Fang Tuo anymore . Hearing her words, she absentmindedly touched her forehead for the first time: “That Wen Baihe1 and that outside mistress let me wash clothes . I was not careful and I knocked my head against something hard in the end . ”
“I will accompany you for a trip to Wen Family . ” The Crown Prince whispered .
The group left in a majestic manner . The Crown Prince sat in his own sedan chair . He faintly leaned his head and looked in Fang Tuo’s direction .
Fang Tuo saw with his own eyes that Ye Shaohua didn’t even glance at him when he left . He lowered his head and gripped his fingers very tight . He almost punctured his palm and smiled bitterly .
Wen Baihe was originally in his study to receive visitors when he heard that the Crown Prince and Ye Shaohua had returned . Turning pale with fright, he arranged the incense burner table and greeted them .
Inside the study, the cabinet ministers looked at each other in dismay . At once, they knew that coming had been the right decision .
All the officials involved in the rebellion in the city were imprisoned, except Wen family . Thinking up to here, they could not help but envy Wen Baihe for being able to climb up Ye mansion’s gate with a marriage .
“Uncle,” Ye Shaohua avoided the tea that Wen Baihe personally poured for her . “What about your outside mistress?”
“She unexpectedly dared to disrespect Madam, so I put her in prison . Niece, if you want…” Wen Baihe enthusiastically called out to Ye Shaohua .
The Third Prince and General Bai’s mansion suffered a defeat . On the surface, the other side themselves courted disaster . But anyone with a brain knew clearly that this had been orchestrated by the Crown Prince and Ye Shaohua!
How pitiful, the Third Prince and Bai Zhenzhen, these two people combined, were not enough for Ye Shaohua to play with them .
In the future, the Great Military Officer Wen’s mansion should rely on the Minister’s mansion . Could Wen Baihe be any more petty and low?
Ye Shaohua looked at the injury on little Aunt Ye’s forehead and asked the other party what should be done . Even if she wanted that outside mistress to die, Ye Shaohua would accomplish it .
“No need to trouble yourself . Just give me this outside mistress so I can employ her as a servant girl to do rough work ba . ” Little Aunt Ye smiled . “I have a lot of clothes piled up in my room that need to be washed ne . But, Great Military Officer, won’t you feel bad ba?” ”
There was no change on Wen Baihe’s complexion . Rather, he submissively agreed “That’s that s.l.u.t’s mistake . Madame, you should do what you think is right . ”
He thought about when that s.l.u.t had deceived himself and took away Ye family’s dowry, letting him and Ye family have animosity between each other . He wished he could hack that outside mistress to pieces .
Little Aunt Ye sneered . This man really didn’t take responsability .
The two ministers on the side continuously trembled with fear and looked at each other in dismay . It seemed that winning favor by fawning on this Little Aunt Ye would be good, in the future . This Wen family was apparently not very reliable .
**
In this battle for the t.i.tle of emperor, the Crown Prince displayed an extremely good performance, especially before he revealed his outstanding talent . At that time, when he was still weak, the court councilor all felt sorry endlessly . Such an excellent emperor material unexpectedly would have such a short life .
Now that his body was in good health, and with his eyes set on a target, he would undoubtedly exhibit his talents . With Ye Shaohua, these two powerful people combined, anyone they took under their command could benefit .
The Emperor also discovered this and slowly handed over the Imperial Court’s matter to the Crown Prince .
There were still a few honest and upright officials br.i.m.m.i.n.g over with talent among the officials who plotted a rebellion, like Fang Tuo . The Crown Prince respected the wise, so he let go of former hatred and personally went to the prison to invite them to come out .
When Bai Zhenzhen heard of this, her eyes s.h.i.+ned . She immediately called out a public servant for him to give her a piece of paper and an ink stick to write “Man Jiang Hong” . Afterwards, she pulled the neck of the public servant and spoke “Go to the Crown Prince, tell him that I’m handing him an ancient poem . Ask him to look at it!”
Baili Yunzheng2 had seen a lot of scholars and literary persons . Originally, he didn’t feel like seeing Bai Zhenzhen . But suddenly he remembered something . He hit his desk “lead her here . ”
In one hand, Bai Zhenzhen was holding the beautiful poem “Man Jiang Hong” and gave it to them to see . With this poem famous in her ancient time , she didn’t believe the Crown Prince’s heart would remain motionless!
Fang Tuo and a great scholars pa.s.sed it to each other . They exclaimed in astonishment . “So do not sit by idly, for young men will grow old in regret… . Let us begin anew to recover our old empire, before paying tribute to the Emperor . . Second Miss Bai really has great talent, we admire!”
Fang Tuo was also very amazed .
Baili Yunzheng pinched the paper in his hands, his eyes were deep . “This is what you wrote, when did you write it?”
“Naturally,” hearing the praise of the people her surroundings and the admiring expression in their eyes, Bai Zhenzhen felt somewhat floating . “I wrote it just a moment ago in a burst of inspiration . ”
She wanted to express that she had great talent to Baili Yunzheng, and that she wrote such poems in a just a short time .
Sure enough, hearing her word, the people in the study were praising even more . They must not permit the Crown Prince to let such outstanding talent be burried .
Baili Yunzheng laughed gently . He took a yellow book from a pile of books, turned it to a certain page, and threw it in front of the smiling and proud of herself Bai Zhenzhen . “Half a year ago, Shaohua found this old book in the G.o.dly Medical Valley . Does Miss Bai know what is written inside?”
Not waiting for her answer, Baili Yunzheng mildly said: “There is unfortunately a “Man Jiang Hong” . However, the original work’s author is Yue Fei . Oh right, there is also another poem that was presented by Second Miss Bai in a previous banquet . “Shuidiao Getou”, signed by Su s.h.i.+ . ”
