When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Prince Dongshan took a walk in the garden, but there was really nothing to see and his mind was almost relaxed. He wanted to go back to his study to deal with some accumulated official business.

After all, he is the chief secretary. During the time he was missing, the documents on the desk have piled up like a mountain!

Sure enough, debts must be repaid.

The more fun you had some time ago, the more painful it will be to pay off your debts now.

King Dongshan sighed, resigned himself to his fate and went back to work.

As a result, a rustling sound came from a bunch of tall weeds near the wall.

Could it be that there is a thief hiding in his palace?

King Dongshan curled the corners of his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and planned to personally catch this short-sighted thief who didn't even bother to find a fat sheep when stealing things.

He actually came to his house to fish in troubled waters, he must be taught a lesson.

He tiptoed closer to the bushes. Xie Qi looked at his own prince in silence and really wanted to cover his eyes.

Can you not admit that this guy is your master?

This sneaky look is really cheap!

You are a noble prince, but you have to act in such a funny way. Is that really okay?

He followed the prince reluctantly towards the bushes. No matter how cheap the bushes were, they were still his and he couldn't just leave them there.

King Dongshan was just about to reach out and push aside the weeds to see what was inside, but a hand reached out faster than his and grabbed King Dongshan's wrist.

Then a woman with big red flowers on her hair suddenly appeared and slapped King Dongshan face to face, and then both of them shouted "Ah..." at the same time.

Xie Qi clenched his fist and was about to attack the person who frightened the prince, but was stopped by the prince while screaming.

The woman with a head full of flowers stopped talking and jumped out from the bushes.

"Ajiu! Come here, mom caught a big cricket with a shiny black head. Look at its two long whiskers. It must be very good at fighting. Here you go!"

Xie Qi was stunned. As far as he knew, King Dongshan had no mother.

This woman looks like she has a mental illness?

King Dongshan also stopped screaming and cleared his throat, thinking he had screamed too loudly just now.

He looked seriously at Xie Jiuniang opposite him. She was holding a cricket in her hand very preciously, but it seemed as if the cricket was squeezed to death.

Perhaps because she was frightened by the sudden appearance of King Dongshan when the two of them met just now, Xie Jiuniang didn't pay attention.

King Dongshan refused in his heart. He didn't want the cricket that died with its stomach squeezed to pieces and its eyes open at all.

Xie Jiuniang said:

"Ajiu, I didn't let your General Cricket run away on purpose yesterday. Don't be mad at me! Look! Look! I caught an identical one for you. This one will definitely beat the one from Fatty Zhao in the village!"

This wave of maternal love came unexpectedly!

As she spoke, she looked at the cricket in her hand.

It's too late, it's faster than that!

King Dongshan snatched the cricket that died unjustly:

"Give it to me! I'm going to duel with Fatty Zhao."

Then King Dongshan felt something sticky on his hands and turned around and ran away.

He had to go back and wash his hands eight or ten times, otherwise his hands would definitely go on strike.

Xie Qi glanced at the woman who was obviously mentally ill, then quickly caught up with his own prince who was running away.

King Dongshan passed by the lotus pond and changed his route to the pond to wash his hands.

Ouch! That's disgusting.

After washing his hands many times and making them clean, he was still not at ease and put his hands in front of his nose and smelled them.

Ugh! It's so fishy!

How can the water in the pond, especially the water in the lotus pond, smell good?

Xie Qi had a cold face and crossed his arms as he looked at this prince who was nothing like the rumors. What went wrong?

Before King Dongshan turned around, Xie Qi put down his arms and stood properly.

He asked: "Your Majesty! Who was that person just now?"

King Dongshan smiled and said, "Ah, you don't know her. She is Xie Jiu's mother! She lives in Wutong Garden now."

Xie Qi was extremely surprised. King Dongshan actually brought Xie Jiuniang to raise him?

He interrogated Xie Bian, the emperor's deputy secret guard, just to move Xie Jiu's grave, and now he has to personally support Xie Jiu's mother.

Xie Qi lowered his eyes, unable to believe that such a good master existed.

And the person just now turned out to be Xie Jiu's mother. Xie Jiu at least still had a mother, but he had neither a mother nor a father since childhood.

That beast Xie Bian is not his father.

At least he never recognized him in his heart.

Looking back, he was a little envious of Xie Jiu.

King Dongshan was not satisfied with the smell on his hands, so he wanted to go back and wash his hands with soap.

Since hanging out with Weidong for some time, his lifestyle habits have changed a lot.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult!

This soap was used by everyone in the caravan, and he thought it was a very cheap item. But when he saw it in Kyoto and asked the price,

Oh my goodness! It’s so expensive! It’s so expensive!

Now that I think about it, there is really no restriction on the use of things in the caravan. It is indeed a caravan with huge profits. The food, clothing and other expenses are even more luxurious than those of a prince like him.

Weidong is the same, he is somewhat extravagant.

Thinking of Weidong, he couldn't help but reveal a doting smile on his face.

Then it gradually turned into a bitter smile.

Wei Dong was so outstanding, he regretted it, it hurts to think about it, I wonder what he is doing now? Where did he go?

He hurried back to the study, washed his hands carefully with soap, then found the message sent to him by the secret guard and the section about Wei Dong, and began to read it with relish.

Weidong's caravan had been on the road for many days and returned very quickly this time, transporting back a lot of ore in less than twenty days.

Now he has set off for the grassland again. Once he leaves the border, the secret guards will have no way of finding out any news about him.

He was abusing public resources for personal gain, and asked his secret agents to report some of Weidong's situations to him while monitoring the prince.

He read those few words many times.

When he was about to let it go, he suddenly discovered something unusual.

Weidong's last departure date was many days later than his original date. This...

The last time he went back to visit Xie Jiu's house, he told me the departure date, so why was it delayed by more than ten days?

Could it be because I left without saying goodbye?

Is Weidong looking for me everywhere?

Humph! He deserves it. Who made him treat me so coldly? Do you regret it now?

I was wondering, maybe he was thinking about me too?

I suddenly felt excited. Why did it feel so sweet?

He sat alone in the study, grinning foolishly for a long time.

Later, he arrogantly decided that when Weidong came back with the caravan, he would go and meet Weidong out of his esteem!

It was definitely not because I missed him that I went to find him.

Um! Absolutely not.

For some reason, King Dongshan was in a good mood in the next few days.

Even though I often have to stay up late to deal with backlogs of official business, I don’t feel so disgusted anymore.
