Chapter 50: A Thorough Raiding

d rice is steel. Even with iron bones, one can't live without food, right" Su Peisheng tried his best to make his tone lighthearted and playful. "Speaking of which, Master, you're benefiting from Li W...If it weren't for the rehmannia and licorice stopping her, Zhen would have really just lain down on the ground. It was simply too hot, thanks to this autumn tiger weather.

"According to Xiao Chizi, Fifth Master gave the eldest brother a full-moon feast today. I heard even the Crown Prince came," said Fu Ling.

"The Crown Prince is here" Wei Zhen looked curious.

It seems Fifth Master has quite a high standing. Even though he's the eldest son, he's only the concubine's child. Unexpectedly, even the noble and esteemed Crown Prince came to attend the banquet in person. He truly does give face!

“That’s right, the Fifth Prince was personally raised by the Empress Dowager. Naturally, he has more privileges than other princes,” Gancao said, then thought for a moment and added, “However, our Fifth Princess was also raised by the Empress Dowager. Since the Empress Dowager takes charge of her marriage, it’s likely she won’t have to marry far away in the future.”

The Fifth Princess is the daughter of De Fei and the younger sister of the Fourth Master by the same mother, so Gancao refers to her as our Fifth Princess.

Compared to the famous sons of Emperor Kangxi, his daughters are almost unknown in history. All I vaguely know is that they were mostly married to remote regions like Mongol territories and their lifespans seemed short, as if they had a misfortune-ridden life.

As for whether the Fifth Princess married far away, We really don't know. However, with the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the future Empress (Noble Consort De), and the future Emperor (Fourth Master) as her four super strong backers, it's safe to say that the Fifth Princess's life will be good.

With her father being the emperor, her brother also being the emperor, and having two empresses as her powerful backers, she could truly run rampant in the palace.

If only I could be the Fifth Princess, it would be so much better than being someone's concubine. It's just too heartbreaking. I can't even leave my own courtyard easily.

Oh!

Virgin sighed silently, but thinking of the Fourth Master's handsome face, Virgin swallowed her saliva helplessly.

Although being a concubine is really heartbreaking, it's still very enjoyable to be with the Fourth Master...

"Master, have a sip of tea to freshen up." Seeing Wei Zhen swallowing her saliva repeatedly, the licorice little angel thoughtfully brought over a cup of cool tea.

Virgin's lips twitched: " ... Yeah, I was thirsty."

No, she's not thirsty, she's hungry!

It's really torturous for an old driver to be alone in an empty room!

No wonder the "Crimson Mandarin Duck Corset" incident made the ancient imperial harem an impossible fortress to defend.

It's natural for people to desire food and sex. When you don't eat enough at home, it's understandable that you might get bold and sneak out to find some wild food when your stomach is rumbling.

Virgin took a sip of tea, dispelling the chaotic yellow mess in her mind, and casually asked, "What title was given to our Fifth Princess"

"Master, you're mistaken. The Fifth Princess is still young and hasn't been conferred a title yet. She won't receive one until she gets married."

"Well, I was wrong." Wei Zhen nodded hurriedly, still thinking that she might have an impression, but the other person hadn't even been given a title yet.

Virgin casually asked, "What's the Fifth Princess's name"

Perhaps she had heard about it before.

"What's your name" Fuling looked completely confused. "My name is Princess Wu," she replied.

Virgin was stunned: "Unnamed"

"Never heard of that. They're all called Eldest Princess and Second Princess, " said Fu Ling, "A princess isn't a prince, so there's no need for names like that."

Is that so

Virgin remained stunned for a moment before coming to her senses. She put down her teacup and asked the others, "Did Fu Jin also go to the banquet with Si Ye"

"No, the Fifth Master only set up a feast in the front courtyard. There is no feast in the back courtyard," said Fu Ling, shaking her head.

I suppose so, after all, this is Big Brother's place. If banquets are held both inside and outside, there probably wouldn't even be enough room to stand!

Besides, throwing a grand feast for the eldest son would already have put the Five Noble Consorts in a bad mood. If they held another feast in the inner courtyard, the Five Noble Consorts would probably be furious.

However, I heard that the mistress had already asked Li ma ma to deliver the congratulatory gifts yesterday.

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside. Wei Zhen was startled and frowned, "Ling, go see what's happening"

It's broad daylight, why is it like a home invasion

"Yes, my servant obeys."

As soon as Fu Ling arrived at the door, she saw Xiao Chizi frantically trying to stop Liu Yuzhu from rushing inside.

"Liu Gege, what are you doing You can't barge in..."

"Slap! Slap!"

Before Xiao Chi could finish his words, Liu Yuzhu slapped him twice hard. He was dazed and fell to the ground with weak legs, yet he still tried to hug Liu Yuzhu's leg.

"Dare you block the way of Old Master Liu Are you looking for death!"

What the heck, Liu Gege!

You think you can call me brother!

Liu Yuzhu had long disliked Xiao Chizi. Finally getting the chance, she naturally wouldn't show mercy. She kicked him hard in the chest, leaving Xiao Chizi clutching his heart and howling in pain.

Liu Yuzhu had someone stuff Xiao Chi's mouth, then, with several burly women behind her, she rushed into the courtyard without a word.

Fu Ling was so frightened that her legs turned to jelly. She grabbed onto the wall and ran inside, her voice trembling as she spoke: "Master, no... it's not good! Madam Fu's people have come in!"

"Liu Yuzhu! It's Liu Yuzhu, he... he knocked Xiaochizi down!"

Did someone from Fujin barge in

The first thing that went through Wei Zhen's mind was: Wasn't the鎮宅 artifact still in place Even if Fu Jin disliked her, she shouldn't stir up trouble at this time. But she had heard Xiao Chi's cries clearly just now.

So what happened

"Fuling, block the person! Gancao, quickly get my clothes for me!"

"Yes!"

This is the Qing Dynasty, not the later times where people wear shorts and suspenders everywhere. If she were to be seen in such disheveled clothing, it would be a great embarrassment!

Licorice quickly got the armor from the flag and hastily put it on Virgin. On the other side, Ling had already been pinned down by the midwife, while Liu Yuzhu swaggered in.

"Master Liu, what do you mean by this" Wei Zhen looked at Fu Ling being held down by the midwife, of course her heart was filled with anger, she said coldly.

Liu Yuzhu, seeing Wei Zhen, didn't bow. Taking advantage of his height, he looked down at Wei Zhen and said nonchalantly: "The servants in Gege's courtyard are undisciplined, so they naturally need some lessons."

"Since she's one of our own, it shouldn't be up to Master Liu to discipline her, should it" Wei Zhen glared at Liu Yuzhu with fire in her eyes. "Master Liu, barging in without reporting and making a commotion all the way here…could this be the custom of your main courtyard"

It's one thing for Fujin to disapprove of her, but Liu Yuzhu had no right to act superior to her. Furthermore, Liu Yuzhu barged in without any prior notice and attacked her without provocation. This was something Wei Zhen couldn't tolerate.

"You dare to be disrespectful to the mistress again How well!" Liu Yuzhu sneered, "When we get in front of the mistress, I hope Li Gege can also be so sharp-tongued!"

"Take him away!" guess it's best not to dwell on these nonsensical things.Fu Jin withdrew her thoughts and instructed Li Mama: “The gift for the fifth master's eldest son, we must prepare it carefully. Although he is...
