The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband
Chapter 68 Sweet pastry
"If I am not reliable, who in the world can be trusted?" Huang Jun said with a smile.
Wang Xinlin looked at him, "What can you say about your impure motives for marrying me? But as long as my father is willing, I am willing to give it a try with you."
"Princess, rest assured. I, Huang Jun, will do what I promised to the Prime Minister. Just wait for my good news when the time comes." After saying this, he handed the jade seal of Qi to Wang Pu.
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Lord Wang!" After Huang Jun left, Wang Xinlin looked at his father and asked, "Do you really want to marry your daughter to him? But your daughter doesn't seem to have the potential to be a king, or is he just clumsy?"
"No rush, just wait and see how he gives me a big gift!" He immediately called his secret guards to protect the boy.
Wang Pu murmured, “Yao Wu, I’m going to put you in a dilemma!”
Huang Jun left Wang Pu's residence and was stopped by someone less than half an hour after he left. "My second prince wants to see you..."
"Then please help lead the way," Huang Jun said politely.
When he arrived at the Second Prince's residence, the Second Prince asked someone to take him to the side room.
"A concubine?" Huang Jun thought about it and agreed immediately.
"The side room is where the master and servants meet guests. It might not be appropriate to let the prince of Qi go to the side room, right?" the servants in the mansion whispered.
Huang Jun ignored them and walked into the side yard. The yard had been abandoned for a long time and there was no sign of anyone living there.
"I didn't expect it to really come?"
Huang Jun heard the voice from behind, and his originally constricted pupils softened. He turned to the man and said, "Greetings, Second Prince."
"I am only the Second Prince's servant. Please come with me to the main house to find the Second Prince."
Huang Jun followed the man into the main house. The main house and the side room were two completely different worlds. The Second Prince was standing in the middle of the yard. When he saw him enter the house, he immediately dismissed all the maids and men in the mansion.
Huang Jun looked at it and asked, "What does your Highness mean?"
"Is there no one else here now? You can just speak frankly!" said the Second Prince.
"Your Highness the Second Prince deliberately had someone take me to the side room in public, and now you invite me to the main room. Who are you afraid of? Or are you deliberately trying to hide it from others?" Huang Jun analyzed to him.
The man quickly folded up his fan and laughed, "Hahaha, the eldest son of Qi is really smart. Then I won't beat around the bush. I want to cooperate with you?"
"Cooperation? How can I, a lonely man with no power or influence in Wu State, ask for cooperation with you?" Huang Jun politely rejected him.
"If you cooperate with me, my people will be at your disposal, won't that mean you have power?"
The Second Prince said, taking out his token from his waist, "This is the token of my secret guard. In addition to recognizing me, he also recognizes this token. With it, you can mobilize the secret guards."
Huang Jun took a token and looked at it. "Thank you! I came to Wu Kingdom only to spend the rest of my life in peace and stability. I have no other requests. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Huang Junwan refused and left the mansion. At this time, the person who was watching outside the door ran to the mansion of the prince and reported: "The side room? They only chatted for less than half an hour!"
"Your Highness, I think we should take this opportunity to win him over to our camp."
"Sir, that's exactly what I meant! Someone go to the main courtyard and prepare the second-rate tea," the eldest prince arranged.
Huang Jun was stopped again just as he got on the carriage. "Your Highness Qi, my master wants you to come to his house to taste tea."
Huang Jun glanced at the Second Prince through the window screen not far away and smiled: "That's exactly what I want!"
"Please lead the way!" Huang Jun followed the man's lead to the prince's mansion.
Seeing that the decoration of the mansion was similar to the style of the imperial palace, Huang Jun murmured, "He is really ambitious."
Entering the palace, the prince greeted him and asked him to sit down and drink tea. "What's your name?"
"Just call me His Highness Qi," Huang Jun said.
"Your Highness the State of Qi? Okay! Since you don't want to reveal your real name, I won't ask any more questions. Enjoy your tea!" Yao Xuan asked, pointing at the empty cup of tea in front of him.
Huang Jun actually did as he was told, put the empty cup into his mouth and swallowed it, savoring it carefully: "Delicious!"
The eldest prince glanced at him and said, "You are such a tough guy. How can you tolerate this?" He immediately smiled and said, "Bring tea to your Highness!"
The maids brought out a cup of tea, and Huang Jun smelled it, "This tea has a strong flavor. Your Highness's house is full of good treasures."
Hearing his praise, His Highness felt a little embarrassed and immediately removed the tea set. "Your Highness, please follow me into the inner room to talk in detail."
Huang Jun went into the inner room with him without thinking, and the two smiled at each other.
Yao Xuan personally mixed tea for him and asked, "Do you know who you are going to marry?"
Huang Jun thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know yet. Your Majesty, who is willing to save whom?"
"The Prime Minister is the child of the Pu family. When your identity is confirmed, she will become Princess Yihe. At that time, my father will be her adoptive father. Although he is not worthy of your identity, he has the Prime Minister behind him. The Prime Minister is also the uncle of the little prince. I am afraid that the wealth and glory you will have at that time will not satisfy you..."
Huang Jun's hands shook unconsciously when he heard his words. He said, "I have never thought about these things. I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace in Wu State..."
Yao Xuan smiled, "You don't seem like a quiet person. You don't seem happy or angry. On the contrary, I think you are very smart. You showed up when the three emperors of Qi were fighting for the throne and were willing to marry into our Yao family. Do you dare to say that you don't have ambitions?"
"Your Highness, I really... really have no ambitions. I just hope to live the rest of my life in peace. I have lived a wandering life in the first half of my life. I have worked as a prostitute in a brothel and a groom. I have done all kinds of despicable things."
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. From now on, you are mine. In Wu State, you and I can be friends. My people are yours." After saying that, he threw out a token, which meant that the secret guards would be at your disposal.
"Secret guard?" Huang Jun pretended to murmur.
"Why? You don't know about the Secret Guards?" Yao Xuan asked. "The Secret Guards are the strongest force in our Wu country. They help your majesty eliminate the traitors and enemies. There are only eight in the country. Two are in my hands, one is in the hands of Prime Minister Wang, and the other is in the hands of the Second Prince. Father has four elite soldiers. Although my men are not elite, they are more than enough to deal with Prime Minister Wang's men. I'm here to help you whenever you need me."
Yao Xuan raised his eyebrows and said to him, motioning him to accept the token.
"Then... I'll accept it... I will do my best to help Your Highness in the future," Huang Jun said.
Huang Jun left the mansion, and the Second Prince's men returned to the house to report. The Second Prince murmured, "This is his own choice..."
In the mansion of the great prince, he integrated his secret guards...
When he returned to the Prime Minister's residence at night, he told Wang Pu everything that had happened to the two princes. Wang Pu stared at the token in surprise.
He said to Huang Jun: "You go down first!"
After being discharged from the hospital, Huang Jun tactfully came to his neighbor's house, and Wang Pu asked someone to call his daughter.
Seeing that her father had called her here in such a hurry, Wang Xinlin complained, "Father, when did you call me to your room so late at night?"
Wang Pu held his secret guard token and the one on the table in his hands. Wang Xinlin immediately became alert, "Father... When did His Majesty give me another token?"
"It was not given by His Majesty, but by the Highness's subordinates."
"Your Highness?" Wang Xinlin asked in surprise, "Isn't he the one who usually has the most conflicts with my father? Why would he give you this token?"
"It's not given by the Grand Prince, it's given by the Grand Prince to your future husband!"
"He??.....Give it to him?" Wang Xinlin asked in confusion, "How long has it been since we arrived in the capital before we can meet the Grand Prince?"
"I don't know if the First Prince has seen it, but even the Second Prince has seen it."
After listening to his father's words, Wang Xinlin said, "Is that boy really that powerful? The two most powerful candidates for the throne are vying to recruit him."
"Well, I didn't expect him to be so capable. It seems he has great ambitions!"
Wang Pu looked at the two tokens and decided to go straight into the palace to meet the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang Pu requests to see you," the chief eunuch of the palace said to the Emperor of Wu.
"Why is he asking for a meeting so late? Did he change his mind?" Emperor Wu thought for a moment and immediately asked the eunuch chief to summon Wang Pu in.
"I see your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, my dear Lord. Is there something you want to discuss that has brought you to the palace so late at night?" asked the Emperor Wu.
Wang Pu prostrated himself on the palace floor and shouted, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me!"
"Crime? Tell me about it?" Emperor Wu was also a little confused.
Wang Pu held the two secret guard tokens above his head and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me!"
The eunuch handed the two secret guard orders to Emperor Wu, who smiled and said, "Can you punish me for just this?"
"Your Majesty, one of the tokens was given to Huang Jun by His Majesty, and Huang Jun returned it to me. I dare not do such a thing to deceive the emperor, so I can only report it to you truthfully. Please punish me."
"Hahaha! Interesting! I didn't expect that this boy would be won over by my two sons as soon as he arrived in the capital. It seems that this boy is indeed not simple. You keep your secret guard order. What about the other one?"
Emperor Wu hesitated, "Take the other piece as well! Consider it my reward."
Wang Pu wanted to continue to refuse, but Emperor Wu persuaded him to leave.
Wang Pu withdrew, and the eunuch told Emperor Wu the news of his departure from the palace. Emperor Wu called out the two princes in the room, "Do you two have anything else to say?"
The two looked at each other, and the Second Prince replied: "With Prime Minister Wang as the stabilizing force in the sea of doubt, our great military will become more prosperous."
The eldest prince did not think so. He replied, "The prince of Qi is very difficult. He threw the problem to Prime Minister Wang, hoping that the emperor could judge the importance of Prime Minister Wang in his heart by dealing with the matter of Prime Minister Wang."
After hearing their answers, Emperor Wu nodded with satisfaction, "It is still the boss who sees things more clearly. You two can leave now."
Wang Pu returned to his residence. "If we are not careful, the entire Wang family may be implicated. It seems that we should plan our future path early."
The two princes had just left Emperor Wu's bedroom and were walking side by side.
The Second Prince said, "Big brother is very calculating. He can use a small token to test whether the two of them are loyal to our father... This makes his younger brother admire him."
The eldest prince ignored him and said, "Brother, you are still too young." Then he turned around and left the palace towards his own residence.
"Humph! It's still too early."
Just as he was about to get angry, a eunuch carefully passed a message to the Second Prince.
The Second Prince thought for a moment, then said to him, "Let's go to Prince Consort Zhou's house for a gathering."
After the eunuch had delivered the message, he came to Emperor Wu's bedroom and said, "Your Majesty, I have delivered the message for you. The Second Prince has already gone to the residence of Prince Consort Zhou."
"Got it! Back off."
The father-in-law who has followed His Majesty for many years was just thinking about something with his head down.
"Don't think about it, Eunuch Qin. After all, I went through the same experience as them to get to this position. It's time for them to use some means to seize power."
"Your Majesty, what if you get hurt..."
"I will secretly let the secret guards protect them. I want to see which of my sons is most like me."
"Yes......"
When they arrived at the Prince Consort's residence, the Second Prince's men knocked on the door loudly.
"Who is it?" asked the servant in the mansion.
"Tell Prince Consort Zhou that the Second Prince has arrived," the Second Prince's men shouted.
The door opened and the two of them immediately greeted each other, "I don't know what gust of wind brought you here."
"Didn't you ask me to come here?" The Second Prince glared at him disdainfully while sitting on the horse.
Yao Wu suddenly realized that someone must have done it on purpose, and immediately changed his expression.
"Haha, second brother, look at my memory. Come in and have some tea."
"Forget it, you look so poor! I'd better go back home." The Second Prince immediately turned his horse's head. He felt that Prince Consort Zhou was not acting just now.
......
Huang Jun did not sleep all night until Wang Pu's return home, which made him feel at ease for a moment. Soon, someone in the mansion told him to go to the prime minister's house in a quarter of an hour.
Hearing what the man said, Huang Jun patted his body and immediately got up and went to the main house.
Wang Pu handed him a token, and Huang Jun could tell at a glance that the one in his hand was different from the one just now.
"Take this. I hope you can keep your promise. My daughter is entrusted to you."
After listening to Wang Pu's instructions, Huang Jun nodded and agreed: "I will take good care of the princess."
After the conversation, Wang Pu asked Huang Jun to go back and rest, and then called his daughter over.
"My daughter believes in your father's judgment. Huang Jun is extraordinary! If you stay with him, he will definitely keep his promise."
“Dad, are you saying she has…” Wang Xinlin opened his mouth wide.
"Yes! Hasn't she already shown the edge of an emperor? Your father has been helping her to tame her edge during this period of time. It's not good for everything to go too smoothly."
........
At dawn, a man from the underworld came to the prime minister's door. Wang Pu handed him a portrait and said, "Go to Balang County this time and kill this man!"
The man stared at the picture and asked, "My Lord, you said to keep him before, why do you say to kill him now?"
"I have changed my mind now! Remember to take his head." Wang Pu made arrangements and immediately asked someone to prepare breakfast and send it to Huang Jun's house.
After Huang Jun woke up, he found that Wang Pu's attitude towards him was as he expected. At this time, Wang Xinlin came over.
"Don't be complacent. Today, I will take you to the Imperial City to make friends with my good sisters and pave the way for your future career."
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I have something else to do after today. See you in half a month!"
