Chapter 416 416: Marriage (6)
“This Wang Ji has a bad temper...”
Shen Tang complained to Gu Chi like this.
Not long ago, the two of them were "politely" kicked out of the camp by the female historian next to Wang Ji. The latter looked as if Shen Tang owed her 1.8 million gold and had not paid back, and her eyes were full of evil. , you can cosplay Grandma Rong by twisting a silver needle in your hand.
Gu Chi was too lazy to complain about his lord's "excellent" answer just now! Through the way of scribes, he basically understood Wang Ji's original intention. But as soon as his lord opened his mouth, Wang Ji was so enraged that she couldn't care less about restraint——
It can be regarded as an extraordinary skill.
He asked casually: "Who is Aunt Rong?"
Shen Tang replied seriously: "Aunt Rong, she is a female historian with chicken skin and white hair, who is proficient in acupuncture. All the women in the inner court were afraid when they heard her name."
Gu Chi didn’t want to know where his lord knew such gossip, so he suppressed the relaxed joking expression on his face, made sure that there was no one following him, and said with a smile: "My Lord, this Princess Wang will not give up easily to win over you."< br>
“Win over?”
Shen Tang frowned and recalled the scene of meeting Wang Ji.
The sneer on the corners of the latter’s rich lips left a deep impression.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like you are trying to win over yourself.
But unfortunately, this is really the case.
Shen Tang skipped this paragraph: "What happened to the fetus in Wang Ji's belly? Look at the size of the belly. If the abdomen was not restrained deliberately, the time should be when she was still in Qianzhou."
That is to say, it was there before the wedding team set off.
Who is so bold to hang out with Wang Ji who is about to get married? Or is it that Wang Ji was forced to have a child?
Gu Chi’s answer solved the mystery.
Shen Tang was also stunned.
Gu Chi said: "It's her and her lover."
This information was obtained simply by analyzing the voices of Wang Ji, the female historian, and Wang Ji's accompanying maids.
"Wang Ji's lover? Who is it?"
Gu Chi said: "It should be the precious concubine of a high-ranking official's family. The two met during an outing in the Hua Dynasty."
Because the maid gave birth to a son, this Wang Ji had a low status in the family and was not loved by her biological father. Her mistress only treated her as a favor. In order to find a future for his marriage instead of marrying an old man who had lost his wife as a continuation partner, he secretly found an official concubine with some reputation. Although he was a concubine, he was the only son of an official. His family was wealthy and his population was simple.
As long as you hold this person's heart and come to propose marriage when the time is right, you can become his wife.
As for how to live in the future, it depends on your own ability.
Wang Ji’s abacus was pretty good.
However, it is not as good as God.
Before her, there was actually Prince Ji, who was also a concubine from a minister's family, but she was as old as two years old. Shiwu sent a hostage and brought a hundred thousand elite "betrothal gifts" to marry her. Because the preparation for the wedding took a long time, Zheng Qiao first accepted the "betrothal gift" of 100,000 elites, dispersed these elites and sent them to the front line to fight with the King of Pigs, while hanging "protons" and ten crows.
It took more than half a year to get married. Unexpectedly, Wang Ji suddenly fell ill and died on the third day after the wedding.
When the news got back to Shiwu, how could he be willing to do anything?
People are willing to "foolishly" use one hundred thousand elites as a "betrothal gift". The plan is to twist one hundred thousand elites into a rope and backfire on Zheng Qiao at any time. But who knows that Zheng Qiao, a LYB, would rather sacrifice one hundred thousand elites? With a tacit understanding of the battle, Shiwu dispersed them all without telling them, assigned them to various locations, and interspersed their troops with Zheng Qiao's headquarters.
These elites can fight, but they cannot communicate with each other and are useless. Isn’t this a meat bun beating a dog, where there is no return?
On Zheng Qiao’s territory, there can be no trouble.
Thus, Shiwu secretly allowed the horse bandits to invade Longwu County repeatedly. This move also put great pressure on the defense of Yonggu Pass in order to give Zheng Qiao control over the border issue. pressure. Their horse bandits were able to massacre the Longwu County Office this time, behead the Longwu County Sheriff and hang the city gate. Next time they gather more troops, they can attack further. Let's see how Zheng Qiao defends!
Zheng Qiao really didn't dare to further anger Shiwu and turned a blind eye to the issue of Longwu County. Seeing this, Juwu once again proposed marriage, but this time it was to the son of the queen who already had a wife.
King Geng Ji can only be a "little wife" when she goes to Shiwu.
This is quite a humiliating request.
But Zheng Qiao still agreed.
It's still the same old routine, just pick a concubine from a minister's family to be the concubine. But considering that the road was bumpy, the body was weak, and the child was prone to death due to his age, he specially found an older person. Finally, the choice came to the current Wang Ji.
When she received the order, Wang Ji was already pregnant.
She has made an appointment with her lover to propose marriage.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, the man knew that he was ill at home, so he quickly got married within half a month. Wang Ji had no way to call for help, and she was being watched, so she had no chance of leaving the child behind.
He was full of melancholy until the messenger Shiwu discovered the clues.
Shen Tang was curious: "The Shiwu envoy didn't get angry?"
The Shiwu side sent many heavyweights this time. The leader was the elder brother of the queen, who was also the bridegroom's relative. uncle. Wang Ji blatantly wanted to cuckold her nephew, but she didn't do anything about it?
Gu Chi looked strange for a moment.
“I’m angry, but——”
But this Wang Ji is capable.
What ability?
Gu Chi leaned closer and whispered: "Wang Ji said that her lover is Zheng Qiao, and the child in her belly is Zheng Qiao's only bloodline. She was so steadfast in her words that the Shiwu envoys probably believed her."
Shen Tang: "..."
This sister Wang Ji is amazing.
Zheng Qiao wore this cuckold unjustly.
"You're just talking nonsense, the Shiwu envoy is not a fool, so why do you believe it?" The nerve called Bagua in Shen Tang's mind was about to start, with a pair of bright almond eyes, "Even if Shiwu wants to use the child in Wang Ji's belly to make a fuss, but If there is no absolute evidence, the world will not believe it, right?”
Framing accusations also requires evidence.
You can’t register your child’s household registration just by touching their lips.
Gu Chi frowned: "I didn't find out about this."
After all, if you don't deliberately guide them, most people's voices will be chaotic. Gu Chi can know this The intelligence was due to the fact that the dowry maids were by the side, so I was bored and complained in my heart. The information is messy, but relatively complete.
If you want to know the inside story, you have to collect more.
Shen Tang asked again: "Then Wang Ji wooed me...could it be that she wanted to use me to endorse the identity of her unborn child?"
Even the Yonggu Gate guard mistakenly thought that Shen Tang was Zheng Qiao's lackey, even errands such as escorting and Prince Ji were specially entrusted to her. In the eyes of outsiders, isn't he just a confidant?
In the opinion of Shiwu Messenger, there is a reasonable explanation for Shen Tang’s close contact with Wang Ji or his attention to them.
Gu Chi nodded: "This is just one of them."
Shen Tang: "...The second level is?"
Gu Chi's expression turned into teasing, his eyes were evil, and he said: "My lord, you are a young and talented man. He looks like Pan An. The only flaw is your age. A bit younger, but as a literary scholar, he was close to it at the age of fourteen I am of adult stature... Wang Ji, I am very pleased. If I can accept you as my subordinate, my life will be safe."
Shen Tang: "..."
