Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 487 Ma Xiuying: Chen Jiusi’s wife is more virtuous than me?
Hubei Road, Xiangyang Prefecture!
"Has the Imperial Master left?"

In the palace of the Tianyuan Empire, Xu Shouhui looked at Zhao Pusheng who walked in and asked, ever since they came back from Wushan last time, he found that Peng Yingyu, the national teacher who always regarded him as a treasure, had a strange attitude towards him.

You have to know that at the beginning, he and Zhao Pusheng conspired to harm Peng Yingyu to that state, and her golden body was broken, but Peng Yingyu didn't say even a harsh word to him, and refused to blame him at all.

But after a trip to Wushan, everything changed for the better. He started to become indifferent to himself.

Later, when he went to Guangmingding, things became worse. After he came back, he was even more unhappy with me everywhere, and several suggestions I made were completely rejected by him.

As soon as the national teacher made a move, his disciples were not very respectful to him. Fortunately, Zhao Pusheng was very closely tied to him and did not abandon him. This allowed him to gain the advantage in Xiangyang City and continue to sit on the throne of the emperor.

He also concluded that the reason why Peng Yingyu became like this and abandoned him was because she had changed her heart. The reason for her change of heart was not anyone else, but that Chen Jiusi. It was he who brainwashed the National Master, causing the National Master to block him and even not allow him to get involved in the affairs of Huangzhou Prefecture.

Why, why shouldn't I be allowed to get involved in the affairs of Huangzhou Prefecture? You should know that Huangzhou Prefecture is extremely wealthy, and I am the emperor of the Tianyuan Empire. Shouldn't such a wealthy place belong to the emperor?

Whenever Xu Shouhui thought of this, his eyes turned purple with jealousy. He hated Chen Jiusi so much that he wanted to kill him.

But for some reason, Chen Jiusi can always turn danger into safety, and his cultivation level is also rising rapidly. In just a few days, his cultivation level has advanced from the Furnace Realm to the Molten God Realm. It is even more difficult to deal with him now.

Of course, although it has become more difficult to deal with him, he still has to do it. As long as there is a chance, Xu Shouhui will definitely let Chen Jiusi know how powerful he is.

Zhao Pusheng looked at Xu Shouhui's increasingly crazy appearance and said, "Well, I just left and received a letter from Huangzhou Prefecture."

"Huangzhou Prefecture?"

After hearing this, Xu Shouhui's eyes suddenly widened, and one could clearly see a fierce look in his eyes. He couldn't stand Chen Jiusi anymore. When he heard this name, he gritted his teeth and wished he could kill him.

"You know what it is."

Xu Shouhui asked.

Zhao Pusheng said: "It seems to be Chen Jiuda's wedding."

"Chen Jiusi, wedding? Didn't he get married?"

Zhao Pusheng heard this and said, "Indeed, he was married, but did he marry another wife?"

"Is it that rich family's daughter again?"

Zhao Pusheng said: "He is not a wealthy family."

"Mud-legged man?"

"He's not a mud-legged man either."

Xu Shouhui heard this and said, "It's neither this nor that. Could it be that he married a prostitute?"

Zhao Pusheng said: "It's Princess Xiangning of Ruyang Prefecture!"

"who!"

Xu Shouhui's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stared at Zhao Pusheng intently. Zhao Pusheng said, "Ruyang Palace, Princess Xiangning, Yaya Timur!"

"Why should he, Chen Jiusi, marry the princess?"

"He, what right does he have? I don't agree, I don't agree!"

Xu Shouhui roared angrily, but Zhao Pusheng looked at him and didn't say anything too final. In fact, what he wanted to say was, it's useless if you disagree. What gives you the right to disagree?
However, in order to take Xu Shouhui's feelings into consideration, Zhao Pusheng did not say anything.

Xu Shouhui's mind was not clear at this time. There were too many bad emotions in his head. Those were the negative effects of the witch god's inheritance, which had been completely absorbed by him.

At this time, his mind was full of jealousy and anger.

In a word, it was anger that changed him beyond recognition!
Zhao Pusheng looked at Xu Shouhui like this, and didn't have anything to say. He just looked at him and said, "Calm down, calm down. Now is not our chance to deal with Chen Jiusi. We need to be calm, calm down. When we find the right opportunity, we will definitely be able to crush Chen Jiusi under our feet!"

"Step on it!"

After Zhao Pusheng's persuasion, Xu Shouhui slowly regained his composure, but the cold murderous intent in his eyes became even stronger.

……

Anhui, Haozhou!
Zhu Yuanzhang was training his army. Xu Da was the commander-in-chief of the training, and Chang Yuchun had selected the soldiers he thought were the best to form his vanguard battalion.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around the military parade ground and inspected his troops.

Then they came to the backyard, where a daughter with ordinary looks but a kind face slowly walked over and gently pinched Zhu Yuanzhang's back a few times.

Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling a little tired, but when the woman pinched his shoulder, he immediately became much more energetic.

At this time, he closed his eyes and said in enjoyment: "Sister, is Biaoer asleep?"

At this time, the woman behind him said: "Well, he has gone to bed."

At this time, Zhu Chongba said, "Well, just go to sleep. I have been busy with military affairs these days. Thank you for your hard work, sister."

The woman said, "Why bother? This is what I should do."

After hearing this, Zhu Chongba held the hand on his shoulder and said, "Alas, your hands are rough."

The woman said, "It's a little rough, but why do you still despise me?"

After hearing this, Zhu Chongba pulled the woman into his arms and said, "That can't be possible. It's too late for our baby. This hand is rough for us. If we still dislike it, are we still human beings?"

The woman said, "You have some conscience."

Zhu Chongba smiled innocently and said, "How can I not have a conscience? I still remember that Guo Tianxu harmed me and locked me in the woodshed. I almost starved to death. You put the pancake in your arms and almost burned your chest."

The woman said, "Why bring this up? It's all in the past."

Zhu Chongba said: "Yes, it's all over."

Through his unremitting efforts, coupled with his current strength, he has completely taken over the military affairs of Haozhou. His adoptive father Guo Zixing died of illness, and as for Guo Tianxu, he had already dealt with him.

There are no major problems facing him now.

All that was left was to rest and recuperate. Recently, he had found a capable gentleman to help him handle government affairs and make plans for him. Zhu Yuanzhang now had a much clearer idea of ​​his future path.

By the way, this gentleman’s name is Li Shanchang!
Zhu Yuanzhang was talking to his wife Ma Xiuying.

At this time, he heard hurried footsteps outside. After coming in, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it was his sworn brother Tang He.

Tang He looked at Zhu Chongba and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Zhu Chongba asked, "What's wrong, Third Brother?"

Tang He then said, "A letter has been sent from Huangzhou Prefecture."

Zhu Chongba was stunned and asked, "Huangzhou Prefecture? Chen Jiusi?"

Tang He said: "Yes, I just received the letter today and I brought it to you. I was afraid it was something important."

After hearing this, Zhu Chongba took a deep breath and said, "You have done a lot. Chen Jiusi's affairs are not trivial. Let me take a look."

The letter was handed over.

Tang He looked at Zhu Chongba's expressionless face and said, "What's wrong, big brother? Is it good or bad?"

Zhu Chongba said: "It's neither good nor bad. Chen Jiusi is getting married."

Tang He said: "Wedding, I remember he has a wife, who is he marrying this time? It can't be the princess of Ruyang Palace!"

Zhu Chongba nodded slightly. Seeing Tang He's expression, Ma Xiuying also became interested. What are you looking at? It's someone's wedding, this should be a good thing!
After hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Chen Jiusi married the princess of Ruyang Palace, so the whole Jiangnan will be his territory."

"Besides, Chen Jiusi is quite good at governing the local area. With the support of the Ruyang Palace, I'm afraid that if we have a conflict with him in the future, it will not be optimistic."

After hearing this, Ma Xiuying asked, "Is Chen Jiusi so powerful?"

Tang He said: "Not only that, but I heard that Chen Jiusi's wife is also very virtuous, especially his wife Su, who followed him from a small fishing village to a fisherman and rose up step by step."

Ma Xiuying heard this and said, "He has been a wife through thick and thin. Now that he has become successful, why doesn't he favor his concubine over his wife?"

Zhu Chongba said: "Chen Jiusi and his wife are very affectionate. I heard that Prince Ruyang once forced Chen Jiusi to divorce his wife so that he could marry the princess. In the end, Chen Jiusi refused to obey, which was quite manly."

After hearing this, Ma Xiuying said, "To have such a wonderful man, the Su family's wife is really blessed."

As he said this, Tang He looked at Zhu Chongba and said, "Brother, Chen Jiusi invited us, shall we go?"

After hearing this, Zhu Chongba looked at Tang He and said, "Since you have invited me, why not go? Go, I just want to see how Huangzhou Prefecture has developed so much and far surpassed us."

As he said this, Ma Xiuying at the side also said, "Zhongba, I want to go and take a look too."

"Hmm? What are you going to do?"

Zhu Chongba looked at Ma Xiuying and asked. Ma Xiuying took out a piece of cloth from her bosom and said, "How do you think this cloth compares to the one you have on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this. He took the cloth that Ma Xiuying handed over, took it out and looked at it. He found that this piece of cloth was indeed stronger than the one he was wearing.

"Why?"

Zhu Chongba looked at Ma Xiuying, and Ma Xiuying said, "Look, the stitches on this cloth are much denser than the cloth we wear. For a piece of cloth of the same size, they can sew dozens more stitches than us. This not only means that the silk thread used in this cloth is denser than ours, but also that the weaving skills are top-notch."

Zhu Chongba asked, "Is this cloth from Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Ma Xiuying said, "Yes, it is the cloth from Huangzhou Prefecture. They have already monopolized the grey cloth market, and their printed cloth is also the best-selling one. The cloth from our Haozhou City cannot be sold to them at all."

"I want to go and take a look. Maybe I can learn something real. Then I can improve our Haozhou cotton cloth and help our army earn some military funds."

After hearing this, Zhu Chongba said, "Well, that makes sense. Well, then we'll take you with us. Anyway, we're going to Huangzhou Prefecture to attend a wedding, so there won't be any danger. Let's take a good look."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Chongba and asked, "Chongba, when are we going to set out?"

Zhu Chongba said, "We are only three to five days away from Huangzhou Prefecture if we gallop quickly. There is no need to leave too early, right?"

Ma Xiuying heard this and said, "Zhongba, I suggest that we set off tomorrow." "Ah, there are still nearly ten days until the 28th, why go so early?"

Ma Xiuying said: "We are not going there just to attend the wedding, don't we also want to see the development of Huangzhou Prefecture?"

"Why don't we travel light and disguise ourselves as ordinary merchants? This way, we can walk among the people of Huangzhou Prefecture and get a good feel for their sentiments. Then we can see why Huangzhou Prefecture has developed so rapidly."

Zhu Chongba said: "Yes, our sister is right. Then let's select a few people to follow us. We will accompany the merchants into Huangzhou Prefecture and take a good look at what's going on in Huangzhou Prefecture!"

As the two of them talked, they decided to enter Huangzhou Prefecture. It was just in time for the autumn harvest, and they could even estimate the annual grain output value of Huangzhou Prefecture during their trip.

This is very important military data. You know, there is a saying that goes "Before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first." In this era, the amount of food and fodder often represents the war potential of a place.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang decided that he would go with Ma Xiuying, bring a few guards and merchants, and check the strength of Huangzhou Prefecture.

……

It can be said that these invitations sent by Chen Jie directly alarmed people from all major forces in the world, no matter whether they were from the imperial court or the underworld.

Anyway, everyone knew that Chen Jiusi was going to get married.

At this time, Longxing Prefecture.

Prince Ruyang was very satisfied when he saw the dragon and phoenix wedding dress in front of him, which was made of ten kilograms of gold thread. It was worthy of the craftsmanship of the best tailor shop in Longxing Prefecture.

At this time, Prince Ruyang took it to Zhao Ya, who was talking to his two masters at the time.

His two masters were the two elders, Gui and He. When Shah Ruud rebelled, they were captured and imprisoned by Shah Ruud. They were rescued only after King Ruyang returned to the city.

These two also suffered a lot, but after hearing that Zhao Ya was going to get married, they were still happy for Zhao Ya.

So he stayed with Zhao Ya the whole time. At this time, Prince Ruyang came and took the dress he had carefully customized and said, "Yaya, your wedding dress has arrived."

Zhao Ya was stunned when she saw the golden wedding dress handed to her by Prince Ruyang. It was the work of a top tailor.

Prince Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, do you like it?"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "I like it."

King Ruyang said, "I'm glad you like it. I have another thing to do. We will set off for Jiujiang Prefecture tomorrow. The newlyweds can't go too fast in the sedan chair. We have to hurry to Jiujiang Prefecture."

"Then from Jiujiang Prefecture, enter Xianning Prefecture on Hubei Road, and then enter Huangzhou Prefecture."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Well, everything will be arranged by my father."

Prince Ruyang glanced at Zhao Ya and said, "Girls should not be kept when they grow up. If you keep them, they will become enemies. What do Masters Gui and He think?"

The two of them, Gui and He, immediately sensed the sour taste in Prince Ruyang's mouth and said, "Your Majesty, no matter where the princess goes, she is still your daughter. This cannot be changed."

After hearing the sad answers from the two, Gui and He, King Ruyang laughed and said, "You two, you old rascals!"

After saying this, he laughed. Although what the two turtles and cranes said was very cunning, the King of Ruyang was very happy. So he was still very happy at this time.

As they were talking, Zhao Ya suddenly said, "Father, can you bring my brother with you to my daughter's wedding this time?"

Upon hearing this, King Ruyang frowned and said, "Why take that beast with you? No way."

Zhao Ya said: "Father, my elder brother really knows he was wrong. Can't you give him a chance to reform?"

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Prince Ruyang was silent. After a long while, he said, "No, he has become the focus of the entire Jiangnan area. If I let him out like this, the people of Jiangnan will definitely lose their morale. So I will not allow him to come out."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya fell silent, looked at King Ruyang and said, "But he is your son after all, my elder brother."

King Ruyang said: "If a person does something wrong, he must pay the price. He cannot give up this price just because of who he is. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I understand. Can I go meet my eldest brother?"

"After all, once my daughter gets married, I don't know when she will be able to come back to see my brother!"

After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Prince Ruyang felt helpless and sighed, "Forget it, let's meet him then."

"Thank you, father."

After saying this, Prince Ruyang added: "Don't miss the departure time tomorrow."

Zhao Ya said: "My daughter knows."

Zhao Ya responded, and King Ruyang left. Zhao Ya looked at the two elders, Gui and He, and said, "Two masters, will you come with me?"

Turtle and Crane said, "Let's go."

Soon Zhao Ya arrived at the separate courtyard where Shaharu was imprisoned. The courtyard was not very big, of course, compared with the royal palace, but if compared with an ordinary family, this house was still very large.

When Zhao Ya arrived here, the guards sent by King Ruyang were standing at the door.

Without the prince's order, no one was allowed to approach here, but they saw Zhao Ya, and after Zhao Ya said that the prince agreed to let him come in, they did not dare to stop him.

At this time, Zhao Ya came in with the two elders, Gui and He.

When I got inside, I saw a bored man lying on a recliner in the yard.

Zhao Ya then said to the two elders, Gui and He, behind him: "Two masters, I would like to stay alone with my brother for a while."

After hearing this, the two elders, Turtle and Crane, did not refuse, but turned around and left. At this time, Zhao Ya came to Shaharu with wine and meat.

Shaharu half-closed his eyes and looked at Zhao Ya, then laughed and said, "Are you here to laugh at my current appearance?"

Zhao Ya looked at Shaharu and said, "Brother, I am your sister. How could I possibly laugh at your joke?"

"Haha, sister, I am not worthy of being your brother. Your brother is Kuokuo, the future King of Ruyang, not a prisoner like me."

Shaharu was sarcastic.

Zhao Ya put down the wine and meat in her hand and said, "Brother, you and I are from the same mother. When I was a child, you helped me fight back when I was bullied. When did we become such strangers?"

Shahru fell silent upon hearing this.

Zhao Ya then said, "My sister is going to get married soon. I'm afraid she won't be able to visit me often. Mother cried for several nights because of you and she also said that you didn't allow her to visit."

"It's your right to decide whether to allow her to visit or not, but Mother is not wrong."

After saying this, Zhao Ya thought for a moment and said, "Brother, it seems that you don't welcome me either, so I'll leave first."

Zhao Ya turned around and was about to leave. At this time, Shaharu looked at Zhao Ya's back and stretched out his hands to grab in the air twice, but he didn't say anything until Zhao Ya left completely.

Shaharu said, "Happy wedding~"

After saying this, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Zhao Ya was in a very complicated mood. She left Shaharu's imprisonment. The two elders, Turtle and Crane, said outside: "The young prince was also unable to react for a while. I think he will be fine in the future."

Zhao Ya nodded slightly.

The two elders, Gui and He, said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back first. Yaya is getting married tomorrow, and we all have to follow her."

"If that brat Chen Jiusi dares to treat our Yaya badly, I will fight him!"

As Elder He said this, Elder Turtle nodded slightly to show that he really meant it.

As she said this, the two elders, Turtle and Crane, followed Zhao Ya away.

Early the next morning, Prince Ruyang made arrangements for everything and, together with Wang Baobao, led 10,000 White Deer Troops to escort Zhao Ya to Jiujiang Prefecture.

As they moved forward, hammering and banging, countless people were watching their princess getting ready to get married.

As soon as the news from Prince Ruyang came out, Chen Jiusi of Huangzhou Prefecture got the news.

At this time it was Huangzhou Prefecture, Chen Prefecture.

Su Yunjin was busy arranging the servants in her own courtyard to tidy up the yard, clean the new house, and hang up lights and decorations everywhere, in preparation for welcoming the princess as her new daughter-in-law.

Huang Wan'er, on the other hand, sat lazily on the recliner, looking at everything in front of her with a sour look.

Chen Jie appeared in the yard at this time. When Huang Wan'er saw him, she turned around and put on an angry look like a little woman.

Seeing this, Chen Jie walked over and said, "Okay, Yun Jin is so tired that she can't even touch the ground, but you are just hiding here and having fun, right?"

Huang Wan'er said: "I am not as stupid as Sister Yunjin. I am not so concerned about finding a woman for my man."

Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er and asked, "Why, are they all acting like children like you?"

Huang Wan'er said, "Why, you don't allow it? My man is going to be separated from me, and I can't throw a tantrum?"

Chen Jie said: "You can make a fuss, but you can't go too far, understand?"

Huang Wan'er rolled her eyes at Chen Jie and said, "You really have forgotten your old love now that you have a new love. I don't know who it is, but back then in that nunnery, you kept calling her dear, but now you're being serious."

Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er and said, "Why, you still aren't convinced?"

Huang Wan'er raised her head when she heard that, but she relaxed after a moment and said, "Give me a few days to rest. I'm not afraid of you."

Chen Jie looked at her and said, "Okay, stop being angry. Help Yunjin with the housework. She's almost dead tired. I still have a lot of things to deal with. Just listen, okay?"

Huang Wan'er said, "I know. I have already done that. It's just that Yun Jin was worried and insisted on coming by herself. There is no shortage of people to take care of things at home, so why bother yourself like this?"

Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er with a helpless look on his face. This woman is just like that. She has many shortcomings that a woman should have, but she also has the charm that a woman should have. In fact, she should be more like the women in later generations.

As he was thinking this, Xiaohu came running in and said, "Brother, there's a message from Longxing Prefecture, saying that the princess has already rushed to Jiujiang Prefecture!"
