Chapter 121 The Orphan of the King of Wei
King Qin Zhao Defang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, thinking about what Mo Fangfang had just reported.
After thinking for a long time, he instructed Yun Yi, "Yun Yi, inform Mo Wen to build a set of venues and equipment that the princess wants to build in the Mo Yun Cavalry Camp.
When the princess goes to train the Big Foot Women's Army, we can also go and take a look secretly."
Yun Yi accepted the order: "I will send someone to inform Mo Wen right away."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor curled his lips in disdain, "You are stealing skills! How can His Royal Highness the King of Qin do such a worthless thing?"
King Qin glanced at him coldly!
"Stop stealing skills from my princess?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor glared with his triangular eyes! "I kowtow to you and become your disciple. That is the skill my master taught me."
The King of Qin glared back without showing any weakness!
"Li'er is my princess, and we are husband and wife, sharing honor and disgrace. All my things are hers, and all her things are mine!"
"Pooh!..." The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor's saliva almost spat on the handsome face of His Royal Highness Prince Qin.
"Are husband and wife still one and share the same honor and disgrace?
You little brat, why don't you go and be with her! If you have the guts, go and sleep in Ning Xin Yuan tonight."
The handsome face of Qin Wang Zhao Defang turned red, and he retreated dejectedly.
He had no idea what to do with this uncle who exposed other people's shortcomings, so he had to change the subject.
"Uncle, it's time to go visit Wuji. Shall we work together tomorrow to trick the princess into coming over as well?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor instantly forgot the fun of teaching his nephew a lesson, and grinned with a sly look in his eyes.
He leaned close to his nephew and gave him a bad idea: "Tomorrow, you must trick her into leaving by any means. If you really can't trick her, press her sleep point, tie her up, put her in the carriage, and force her to leave."
The King of Qin was so angry that he slapped his uncle on the head as he approached him!
"You old fellow who betrayed your teacher and ancestors! How dare you be so disrespectful to your teacher who taught you the classics and the art.
When I tell the princess one day, I will expel you, the unfilial disciple, from my sect!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor blinked his eyes and retreated dejectedly!
He quickly put on a flattering smile and said, "My dear nephew, please don't tell my master what I just said! Didn't your uncle forget to respect his teacher for the sake of your nephew's illness?"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang, who had won back a game, smiled a winner and said calmly, "We both got what we needed.
Trick the princess over here. I am here to save my nephew, and you are here to learn skills, so let's cooperate happily!"
…………
Luo Li looked at the King of Qin in confusion and asked, "Go to the Prince of Wei's mansion to visit your sister-in-law and nephew? ... What does your visit to your sister-in-law and nephew have to do with me? I don't have time!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor hurriedly and carefully advised, "Master, Princess Wei is your biological sister-in-law. You have been married for many days and have not yet paid a visit to her. This is really impolite. You should go there."
Qin Wang Zhao Defang also smiled and advised softly, "Princess, after my brother passed away, my sister-in-law and my little nephew were left to depend on each other.
As the sister-in-law, I should visit him more often and take good care of him."
Luo Li watched the performance of the uncle and nephew, thinking to herself:
[I wonder what these two sinister and cunning guys are up to? What are they planning? They want to drag me into this. Humph! I will not be fooled and treated as a stupid coolie. ]
Luo Li leaned lazily on the chaise longue.
Her tone was firm and ruthless: "No! I have never known any etiquette, and I am not a kind person who sympathizes with orphans and widows."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was so anxious that he scratched his head and could not think of any idea. He secretly winked at his nephew.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang sat at the table with a faint smile, sipping the fragrant tea silently.
After a moment's silence, the King of Qin smiled calmly, "Princess, the main reason why I want to take you there is because there are more than a dozen boxes of dragon's birthday incense and camphor incense stored in the storehouse of the Prince of Wei's Mansion.
I know that it is something you need to make perfume, but it is not easy for me to ask the Queen Sister-in-law for it for you.
If you bring a few bottles of perfume and go to ask the Queen's sister-in-law for it in person, she will definitely not refuse your face."
Luo Li's dark and bright eyes rolled around, thinking that the dark and cunning dog King Qin had thrown out such a big bait, he must have something important to ask of me.
But the temptation of these dozen boxes of dragon's birthday incense and camphor incense is really too great, it would be a pity if I couldn't get them.
"Then let's go! Siyu, go get a bottle of each scent of perfume, and also bring some shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc."
Siyu responded and ran to the young lady's private vault.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor secretly gave his nephew a thumbs up out of admiration!
High! This bait is well cast.
.........
The King of Qin and the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, the heroes who returned from fighting the epidemic in Yanzhou, were still under the blockade outside the city by the Emperor's order. They could not show off in the city at this time, so the three of them got on the carriage in the mansion.
Hong Gu was driving the carriage, and Mo Yan led a dozen shadow guards following beside and behind the carriage. It looked like the usual operation when the Princess of Qin went out and was protected by the guards in the palace.
Although the Prince of Wei's mansion was not as grand as the Prince of Qin's, it was the highest standard a prince could enjoy and was also built in a magnificent and luxurious style, though the area in front of the gate was even more deserted.
The gate of Prince Qin's Palace is deserted because His Royal Highness Prince Qin does not like to socialize with others, but the gate of Prince Wei's Palace is deserted because Prince Wei is gone and the pillar of the palace has collapsed.
The palace was full of women and a sick little prince, so those who should avoid suspicion would avoid suspicion. The King of Wei was frightened to death by the emperor's words, and those who curry favor with the emperor would not visit and displease the emperor.
Princess Wei had the door of the mansion locked every day, and the mother and son hid in the house, lonely and dependent on each other.
Even though the Prince of Wei's concubine and Madam Ru could not stand the loneliness, it had only been a year since the prince's death, and no one dared to go out and have fun during the mourning period.
When the doorman saw that it was the Prince of Qin who had arrived, he hurried in to report.
Not long after, she hurried back, bowed her head outside the carriage and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, the princess invites you into the palace."
Qin Wang Zhao Defang ordered in the carriage, "Open the gate, I will get off inside the palace."
Several servants and the doorman quickly opened the tightly closed door and let the carriage in.
After getting off the carriage, Luo Li followed Prince Qin Zhao Defang and looked at the scenery of Prince Wei's Mansion as they walked.
Although the buildings in the palace were beautiful and exquisite, they were deserted and gave off an air of desolation.
Luo Li sighed secretly in her heart!
If Emperor Taizu had not died suddenly, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, as the eldest son, might have been the next emperor. The fate of life is so different!
There were more servants in the main courtyard, and more than a dozen servants and maids knelt on the ground from a distance, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, may you be well! His Royal Highness the Princess of Qin, may you be well!"
A beautiful woman with a slender figure and as weak as a willow tree came out, served by two maids.
The beautiful woman stood under the eaves and bowed slightly, "Uncle Huang is free to come here today. This is my sister-in-law, Princess Qin, right?"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang bowed and said, "Sister-in-law, today I have brought my princess to visit you and your nephew."
Luo Li looked up at the Princess of Wei under the eaves and bowed as well, "Meet the Emperor's sister-in-law."
Princess Wei's brows were furrowed with worry, but she smiled politely, "Your Majesty's sister-in-law is truly a stunning beauty. I'm lucky enough to see her in person today. She's even more beautiful than the legends say!"
Luo Li's eyes lit up immediately! She praised with great joy, "The Emperor's sister-in-law has good taste!
My beauty, which is so stunning that it can make the moon hide in shame, the fish sink to the bottom of the water, and the geese fall to the ground, is truly loved by everyone and flowers bloom wherever they go!"
Princess Wei was startled! Then she forced herself to smile.
I thought that the emperor's sister-in-law was even more shameless than the legend said.
Princess Wei bowed respectfully to Ghost Hand Poison Doctor again, "Senior Ghost Hand, you are here too. Please come in and take a seat."
After several people entered the house, they sat down as host and guest.
Luo Li looked at the pale face of Princess Wei and the melancholy hidden between her brows, and thought that the Princess Wei's health was really poor!
That's right! In this era, men are the backbone of women. When a woman's husband dies at such a young age, her life as a widow is miserable and sad.
What's more, her husband was forced to death by the emperor.
The King of Qin asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, how are you after not seeing you for so long?"
Princess Wei still smiled politely, but there was a sadness in her smile that she couldn't hide: "Thank you for your concern, uncle! I am just holding on to my health just to avoid any illness!"
King Qin Zhao Defang sighed slightly!
"Where is Wuji?"
Princess Wei ordered the maid beside her, "Go and see if the prince has woken up? Bring him to see the emperor's uncle and aunt."
Luo Li always adhered to the principle of giving gifts first when asking for help, and took the small wooden box that Hong Gu was holding behind her.
"Sister-in-law, these are some perfumes, shampoos, soaps, etc. sold in my shop.
I picked up a piece of each and gave them to the emperor's sister-in-law to try.
If you are satisfied with it, I will pay for your perfume and toiletries from now on!"
Princess Wei stood up and took the small wooden box herself, and she almost fell down due to her swaying body.
The maid beside her quickly supported the princess and said, "Princess, please sit down. Let me come!"
Princess Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I am too weak. I am sorry to make you laugh."
Luo Li looked at this beautiful, gentle, and frail woman with sympathy, and hurriedly tried to comfort her.
"The emperor's sister-in-law is overly worried. As long as she thinks it through and relaxes her mind, she will be able to get stronger."
Princess Wei gave another faint bitter smile but did not say anything.
She was startled when she saw the maid open the lid of the box!
"Royal sister-in-law, why did you give me so much? No wonder this small wooden box is so heavy?
I heard that the perfumes you make are very expensive and you can’t buy them even if you queue up in the middle of the night. Your gifts are too valuable.”
Princess Wei spoke so much in one breath that her breathing became a little unstable.
Luo Li smiled kindly!
The words were sincere: "Sister-in-law, we are family, there is no need to be polite to each other.
Even though the spices I use to make these perfumes are extremely valuable treasures, I won’t feel bad giving them to my family members for use!
Sister-in-law, the raw materials for these expensive perfumes, besides various flowers, the main ingredients are ambergris and borneol.
However, these two spices, which are exclusively used by the royal family, cannot be bought on the market no matter how much money you spend.
If you have some money in your hand, give it to me, and I will not treat you unfairly!"
King Qin Zhao Defang and the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor sitting next to him were both laughing in their hearts.
This really is a family, no need to be polite to each other! He just came straight to the point and asked for it.
Princess Wei was also amused and smiled again, "There is no need to be polite to each other among family members. I still have sixteen boxes of dragon incense and camphor spices stored here.
Since my sister-in-law needs it, just take it and don’t mention paying for it.”
It's done! It's worth the trip!
Luo Li was so delighted that she was about to say a few words of thanks.
Two maids came in with a thin child.
"Wu Ji meets the Emperor's uncle and aunt!
Hello, Senior Ghost Hand! "
