The eldest prince's mansion of Linyue Kingdom.
Wen Mingting, the eldest prince of Linyue Kingdom, wearing a red plain brocade robe, sat high on an armchair, grabbed the maid's neck with one hand and kicked her off the stage, "Tell Zhongshu Ling Jian Churen that he did not go to the border in vain, this king If he fails to handle what he was told, it will be the day he dies when he returns to Beijing."
Prince Leshan Ning Xing'an, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at the maid who was dragged out by the servants, and replied respectfully: "Yes."
"Your Majesty, since the Ghost Mansion Gate was destroyed, the Crown Prince and Marquis Wenxin have gotten closer and closer." Ning Xing'an stood up and sat down with his lower body cautiously.
Wen Mingting put his hands in warm water and scrubbed them gently several times.
The maid holding the basin bent her knees and held the basin with her eyes lowered and did not dare to raise her head the whole time.
Wen Mingting sat back with his right leg resting on the desk, "Wenxinhou is the queen's mother's family. Even if the prince Wenxinhou is killed by Li Junche because of the second princess's stupidity, the connection between them will not be separated. The prince Marquis Wenxin can't bear to honor him."
Ning Xing'an carefully looked up at Wen Mingting and said: "The prince's suggestion that the second princess marry Li Junche as a concubine was rejected. Not only did Li Junche disagree, but even the emperor of Beidi made sarcastic remarks, saying that we were forced to marry because we couldn't get married. ”
Wen Mingting raised the corners of his lips and laughed loudly, "I really underestimated the Third Emperor's sister. After she left the Leng Palace, I went to see her, but I didn't expect that my eyesight was blinded."
What a timid little guinea pig, she didn't expect to have the devil Li Junche in the palm of her hand. Even the Emperor of Beidi accepted her. It was really interesting and fun.
Ning Xing'an's strange eyes were full of fear, and he did not dare to swallow the saliva in his mouth, "Marquis Xuanwu has frequently wanted to visit Xiaguan recently. I think he came here for the prince."
Wen Mingting licked the white and yellow bone chain on his wrist, "Tell him that if he wants to help me, he must first clean the skull of Marquis Wenxin and bring it up."
When Ning Xing'an left the palace, he happened to bump into a trailer that was about to be transported out of the side door.
The blood dripping on the carriage board and the dress hanging on the wheels were the maid who had just been dragged out of the hall. She was already dead.
After half of July, the weather in the capital became increasingly hot.
The food shop named Wen Jinhe also placed ice bricks at the door of the shop, and they were added as soon as they melted. Only here can people passing by feel the coolness of summer.
Yunxi Restaurant is as comfortable as if the air conditioner is turned on, and even though it is full of people, I don’t feel sweaty.
In the Beidi Kingdom, only wealthy families would have stocks of soldiers in the summer. They were stored in ice cellars during the cold winter months and taken out to enjoy the coolness in the summer. They were not in large quantities and were very expensive.
This act of using ice cubes like running water made the people in the capital feel Wen Jinhe's wealth again.
Before the feelings of envy and jealousy could swell up, a new shop opened in the capital, specializing in selling ice cubes. A large ice cube cost only two cents, which was the price of a meat bun.
When I came to inquire about it, I found out that it was the shop owned by Princess Che.
Wen Jinhe was sitting in the room, with bright red iced watermelons placed in the ice basin in front of him, which had just been picked from the farm in the north of the city in the morning.
Butler Li stood outside the backyard and wiped the sweat from his neck. After smelling to make sure the sweat smell was not strong, he walked in the door.
In this summer, if the princess hadn't told him to go into the palace to deliver something to Princess Qinbao, he wouldn't have wanted to go out.
Butler Li stood in the hall and reported: "Princess, the watermelon has been delivered to Princess Qinbao's palace. The emperor's eunuch has taken over it."
There are not many watermelon seeds in Wen Jinhe's space. For the first time, he planted three acres of land. He has no intention of selling them in shops or restaurants. He can consume them all by himself.
Wen Jinhe held half of the watermelon and was digging it with a spoon. "Tomorrow, the shopkeepers of various shops and workshops will come to the mansion to report their accounts. You have people go to the farm to pick it in advance, so that the servants in the shop can have a taste."
In such hot weather, only eating watermelon can make people feel happy and quench their thirst.
"Yes, Princess." Butler Li suddenly whispered: "Princess, when I entered the palace, I heard from the maid in Princess Qinbao's palace that Concubine Wei in the palace seemed to be pregnant."
Wen Jinhe raised his head with the watermelon pulp in his mouth, his eyes widened, and he suddenly choked: "Ahem."
Man Dong quickly picked it up with a handkerchief.
Wen Jinhe stretched out his hand to block it and stared at Butler Li in disbelief: "Are you sure it's true?"
Butler Li nodded with some shame, "Princess Qinbao's maid is talking about it. She must have learned the news from the Queen. It should be correct."
Wen Jinhe swallowed the watermelon juice in his mouth, raised his head and frowned like an earthworm, "The emperor is already sixty, actually..."
"Princess~~" Man Qiu quickly shook his head.
Wen Jinhe covered her mouth and immediately realized that she had made a mistake. It was not easy to say this.
Li Junche returned to the palace in the evening and changed his clothes after taking a bath.
The military camp is in the open air, not to mention that training soldiers will sweat profusely, and with the armor on, their clothes will go rancid in less than half a day, and it will be useless no matter how many ice bricks are placed.
As soon as Li Junche came to the dinner table, Wen Jinhe couldn't wait to tell him the news of Concubine Wei's pregnancy. The expression on his face was very gloating, "The queen is probably very angry right now."
Li Junche placed the soup bowl filled with pork ribs soup in front of Wen Jinhe, "The news in the harem hasn't spread yet, I think the diagnosis was only made today."
Wen Jinhe took a sip of the soup with kelp and felt it was very refreshing with a touch of sea salt. "Princess Qinbao sent someone over to say hello in the middle of the afternoon. She said she wanted to stay in Prince Che's Mansion for a while."
Li Junche stopped picking up the vegetables and looked at Wen Jinhe, "You agree?"
Wen Jinhe swallowed the soft pork ribs in his mouth, opened his eyes wide and nodded: "Well, the room has been cleaned up, and it's in Xuan Yutang."
Li Junche's expression looked like he had been cuckolded. If this person came, the two would not be able to mingle together all day long. "How long will she stay?"
Wen Jinhe picked up a piece of fried chicken sprinkled with cumin and put it to Li Junche's mouth, "She didn't say, but it will take at least half a month."
Li Junche bit into the fried chicken hard, as if chewing Wen Jinhe's bones, "When I was in the palace, I told her to stay away and not get involved."
Wen Jinhe raised his eyebrows, "Everyone is here, we have to eat together. Besides, she doesn't really want to see you."
The next day, the emperor went to see Princess Qinbao after going down to court.
