Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

Hua Ke ceded territory, paid compensation and signed many unequal treaties before she could appease the sulking man.

The two guards stood outside the tent and looked at each other with complicated expressions. They didn't understand why His Highness had to be so humble to coax a man. They admitted that Chu Cejun was good-looking, but there were a lot of good-looking men in the world, so why bother to rely on one tree.

After the autumn hunt, Hua Zhao continued to study at the Imperial Academy, and on days off, he went out to play with his mother and father.

She didn't like sitting quietly reading or practicing calligraphy. She preferred going out to ride horses, play Cuju, toss pots, and shoot arrows.

In early September, the prince and hostage of Pingchang State arrived in Dongqing State.

This news was not the most shocking thing in the imperial city. When the envoys from Pyeongchang Kingdom arrived at the palace, the Wentian Tower in the eastern suburbs suddenly lit a signal flare, indicating that their palace master had returned.

All of a sudden, the nobles who received the news sent people to ask the palace master to come out of retirement, and the queen also sent her most trusted servant to Wentian Tower. She wanted to know whether the prince of Pingchang could marry her daughter.

"Wife, I heard that the Palace Master is back."

Hua Ke's heart was filled with alarm bells, and she thought carefully: "Oh, Chuchu is curious about her? She is just an old witch who is swindling people. Chuchu, don't bother with her."

"Old witch? How did my wife know?"

"How could I not know? She has lived for more than 200 years. She must be an old witch. What else can she do if not an old witch? And her fortune-telling is not accurate. She is just a scam."

Hua Ke became more and more certain of her guess, "How can anyone in this world live so many years? I think the Palace Master is not just a person, but a title. I'm afraid that every Palace Master secretly found a successor before she died. Otherwise, why didn't she show us her true appearance?"

"Ah."

Hua Ke rolled her eyes at her man and said, "Chu Chu, what are you laughing at? Do you know that old man?"

Immortal.

Chu Cejun curled his lips, "Chu Chu thinks that the wife's description is very appropriate. He is just an old man who will never die."

Hua Ke held his hand and said affectionately: "I know that Chuchu understands me the best."

She had many complaints about the Palace Master, but she couldn't find anyone to talk to. The people around her were basically all die-hard fans of the Palace Master, so she couldn't say anything.

The next day.

The Queen hosted a banquet for the envoys from Pyeongchang and entertained them warmly.

The prince who came to marry was called Jin Pingmei, sixteen years old, handsome, and like Chu Cejun of Prince Kang's palace, he had a pair of sparkling and passionate peach blossom eyes. When he appeared, he presented a dance as gorgeous as the others.

Bai Mingxi sat next to Hua Ke and lowered his voice: "This one looks similar to yours. Look, she has been flirting with you several times."

"Sister Bai, be careful with your words." Her wife was still sitting behind her.

The Sixth Princess sat opposite, raised her wine glass and looked at the sweaty foreign prince, "Interesting."

When the dance was over, there was a pleasant sound of piano outside the palace. The empress called a halt in an emergency and went out in person to greet the guests. The queen followed closely behind with a look of great joy on her face.

All the officials' faces changed, and they knelt respectfully on both sides. Even the prince was pulled aside to wait.

Bai Mingxi leaned over and whispered, "In my opinion, it should be the palace master who has arrived." Only if that person came would the emperor be so excited.

Hua Ke looked back and saw her husband Chu Cejun feeding Hua Zhao with a spoon. When he saw her turn around, he smiled faintly and said nothing.

Hua Zhao felt a little unwell this morning. She leaned listlessly in her father's arms. Only when her father fed her could she eat a little.

Originally Hua Ke wanted her to stay in the mansion and have a good rest, but she got angry and insisted on coming over.

Hua Ke tilted her head to look outside the palace, and just saw eight extremely luxurious sedan chairs appear in the air. The sedan chairs were carved with lifelike totems, and the top of the carriages were inlaid with many luminous pearls for decoration. The curtains in front were draped with strands of gold embroidery, so the faces of the people sitting inside could not be seen clearly.

The guards with high martial arts skills carried the sedan chair to the ground gently. A slender hand lifted the curtain. The fingers were very beautiful, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. Hua Ke stared at it without blinking, her eyes sharp. This old witch is really rich. She really wants to own this sedan chair.

"Xiaowu, stop looking. Don't make the Palace Master angry." Bai Mingxi reminded secretly.

No, she wanted to see it.

The palace master was about 1.83 meters tall, thin, with white clothes as white as snow and black hair like a waterfall. A secret technique was used on her face, so no matter how hard Hua Ke stared, she couldn't see what she looked like. It was quite interesting.

As she walked into the hall, the only sound left in the hall was the sound of people breathing.

The Queen was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw that everyone lowered their heads and greeted the Palace Master calmly, except for her own ignorant Fifth Princess who looked at her openly with a hint of sarcasm at the corners of her mouth.

Damn it, this unfilial daughter wants to help her change the dynasty today, right? !

Hua Ke didn't notice the Queen's expression. She glanced up and down at the Palace Master who was getting closer and closer. She didn't have a prominent Adam's apple, her chest was a bit flat, her waist was slender, and her body proportions were quite good. There should be nothing hidden under her skirt.

The palace master also noticed Hua Ke's gaze, stopped, and turned to look at Hua Ke.

Hua Ke: "..." What does it feel like to look into the eyes of a hazy mosaic? Well, nothing.

Realizing that she had just turned into a crotch-gazing cat and looked at someone's body part, Hua Ke smiled embarrassedly, raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp to express her apology.

No, she forgot, she can't drink!

Queen: “!!!!” Okay, she will abdicate today. Let it be destroyed. She doesn’t want to care about anything anymore!

After seeing her finish the wine, the palace master walked away with a blank expression.

Fortunately, Hua Ke's body was more well-behaved after getting drunk. No matter how lively the party became, she didn't even raise her head and was immersed in her own world.

【Hua Ke, who am I? 】

"You are Pooh Pig. Pooh Pig, you are so fat now."

[…Is this what you really mean? We are no longer friends, let’s not talk anymore.]

Without a system to chat with her, Hua Ke hummed a song to herself, "You live in a glamorous world, so you can have three wives and four concubines... In this small garden, dig and dig..."

The Queen looked at her unfilial daughter who had calmed down, let out the anger in her heart, and continued to preside over the banquet half nervously and half happily.

The palace mistress is finally back, and she has to ask which princess should she pass the throne to.

The third princess of Pingchang Kingdom stepped forward bravely and asked, "Can you please tell my brother Pingmei's fate?"

Jin Pingmei's eyes lit up and she bowed respectfully.

The palace master did not say a word of refusal. The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

After a while, a faint voice reached the ears of everyone present, "There are many children stars. If you meet someone who is most compatible with you, you will have many daughters and good fortune. Your fortune will be very prosperous."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen and the Sixth Princess looked at the foreign prince excitedly, revealing an expression of determination to get him. This young husband is determined!

Hua Ke was disturbed and stared at the person named Jin Ping Mei expressionlessly. How could there be too many female stars? She was washed away. Isn't she a beauty with a tragic fate?

This old witch is talking nonsense.
