"Humph! You were the one who initiated the competition. Now that you lose, you lose. Can't your Wu family afford to lose?"

It is the critical moment of the fight for the throne.

The Minister of Personnel relied on his high position and power to waver between Crown Prince Ye Chuji and Third Prince Ye Jinan.

Jia Lan, as Ye Chuji's full sister, has disliked him for a long time, and the two young masters of the Wu family also hate him very much.

What's more, the person competing with Wu Qi was Hua Wuke, the person his brother wanted to win over.

Of course Jia Lan was willing to be a 'fair' person and win her over for her brother.

"Wu Ke, now you not only won the first prize of this banquet, but also won the competition with Master Wu. Is there anything you want?"

"Winter is coming. I am concerned about the soldiers at the border. I dare to ask the princess to grant Wu Ke a customs clearance document so that Wu Ke can send some winter clothes to my father and the soldiers at the border."

The border is an important place and no one is allowed to enter without customs clearance documents.

Jia Lan glanced at Ye Chuji secretly, and only agreed when she saw him nod.

"No problem. I will also reward you with 10,000 pieces of cotton cloth as a token of my appreciation to the soldiers at the border."

"Thank you, Princess!"

Hua Wu Ke knew that they would definitely agree. Ye Chuji not only wanted to marry him, but more importantly, he wanted to get the Hua family army.

So I tried to please my grandfather and father from time to time, but to no avail.

This time they have the opportunity to do a favor for the Hua family army under the pretext of legitimate reasons, so of course they will not let it go.

"Young Masters of the Wu Family, you lost, and you don't have any expression?"

Wu Ze replied respectfully: "The Shangshu Mansion is also willing to provide 5,000 pieces of cotton cloth to the soldiers at the border."

One piece of cloth can make three sets of clothes, and fifteen thousand pieces of cloth can make forty-five thousand sets of clothes. The winter clothing problem of the fifty thousand Hua family soldiers is almost solved!

Returning to his seat, Hua Wu Ke thought happily that although Jia Lan helped him with a purpose, she had saved the Hua family army a lot of money after all.

The colorful flowers continued to float, and just by chance they floated in front of Hua Fuying.

It was intentional, Hua Wu Ke must have done it on purpose!

She just saw what she was wearing this morning, so she stood up and showed it off, and then embarrassed herself!

Hua Fuying thought with gritted teeth.

She really misunderstood Hua Wu Ke. Hua Wu Ke didn't think that much.

Although she knew Hua Fuyue would wear pink and therefore deliberately wore a skirt of the same color, it was only because she didn't want to see her gaining attention by suppressing herself.

She didn't pay attention to Hua Fuyue this morning, so naturally she didn't know what she was wearing.

With so many people waiting for her, Hua Fuyue had no choice but to stand up.

She walked to the center of the field wrapped in a cloak and bowed slightly: "Your servant...Your servant would like to present a song."

Hua Wu Ke frowned slightly, wondering why it was different from his previous life.

That time she performed a unique dance and was praised by Jia Lan.

Even I, who didn't attend the party, could imagine the scene because I heard her bragging every day. However, it was not the scene of her dancing, but the scene of everyone praising her.

It was almost noon, the sun was just rising, and the warmth was spreading over the courtyard surrounded by the hot spring, creating a bit of heat in this early winter.

Especially since Hua Fuyue was wrapped tightly in her cloak, which was airtight and made her even hotter.

When it got hot, her breathing became heavy.

It was originally a Jiangnan folk song with a soft Wu dialect, but it was mixed with a bit of roughness, which made everyone who heard it couldn't help frowning.

Hua Fuyue embarrassed herself at the banquet, and not only did she lose face, but also the host of the banquet.

Jia Lan frowned and interrupted her: "That's enough, I see your cheeks are red, as if you are feeling unwell, go down and rest."

Although the words were said considerately, the disdain could not be concealed.

Hua Fuyue blamed it all on Hua Wuke and glared at her fiercely when she passed by.

"What's wrong with this person?" Lin Xizhi was speechless.

The colorful flowers continued to float, and two men stood up one after another to show off.

One wields a sword, the other wields a gun.

Hua Wu Ke took a few glances and then evaluated in his heart that he was not as good as Ye Buhuo.

He rested his face on the table with his hands, feeling bored.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Hua Wu Ke felt something fall on her, and then an apologetic voice came.

When I looked up, I saw a woman standing there, at a loss.

Hua Wu Ke thought about who this person was in his mind, and then he was very sure that he had never seen him before.

She lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt, which had a yellow stain on it.

Why was a maidservant whom I had never met walking behind me with a dish of sweet-scented osmanthus fish?

A guess flashed through Hua Wu Ke's mind. She turned to look at Hua Fu Yue and saw her looking at her proudly.

She looked back at Hua Fuyue, and the coldness in her eyes frightened Hua Fuyue for a moment.

Then he thought that it was just a piece of clothing, what could she do to him, and continued to look at her provocatively.

Seeing that Hua Wu Ke's clothes were dirty, Lin Xizhi said, "I'll go with you to change."

Mistakes were bound to happen at a banquet, so the princess's mansion had specially prepared clothes for others to change into.

"No, I can just go by myself."

Hua Wu Ke gave her a reassuring look, then took Qing Zhu away, leaving Qing Mei with Lin Xizhi.

Ye Chuji had been keeping an eye on Hua Wuke. When he saw her leaving with someone else, he curled his lips.

The opportunity is here.

Hua Wu Ke and Lin Xizhi were walking in the princess's mansion with the maid in front. Qing Zhu was following not far from Hua Wu Ke, paying attention to the movements around them.

Suddenly, Qingzhu glanced back out of the corner of his eye.

She took a step forward while tidying up Hua Wuke's clothes and said in a low voice:

"Miss, four people are following us."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wu Ke took out two pills from his sleeve.

He swallowed one without leaving a trace, and quickly handed one to Qingzhu.

The maid took Hua Wu Ke a few more steps.

Suddenly he turned around and sprinkled a handful of powder at Hua Wu Ke, then turned around and ran away, covering his nose.

Hua Wu Ke had seen the knockout drug from the Western Regions in the palace before and could smell it immediately.

She gave Qingzhu a look, then they both closed their eyes and fell down.

After a while, the four men came out from the darkness, threw Qingzhu into a bamboo forest and ignored her.

Then he carried Hua Wu Ke towards a room not far away.

However, they didn't notice that Qingzhu got up from the ground after they had taken a few steps, and hid in a high place where he would be less likely to be discovered.

Hua Wu Ke was put on the bed in the room, and those people lit the incense in the room. After doing all this, the four people left.

Then Hua Wu Ke opened his eyes.

She got out of bed and walked to the fragrance, and a warm and charming scent hit her face.

You don't have to think too much to know what this is.

But Hua Wu Ke did not extinguish the incense. What he held in his mouth was an antidote pill that could cure thousands of poisons.

"Your Highness, the person is already in the house."

Hearing the sound outside the house, Hua Wu Ke quickly returned to bed and closed his eyes.

As soon as Ye Chuji opened the door and came in, he frowned at the pungent smell.

Thinking that the fragrance could make Hua Wu Ke more obedient later, he resisted the urge to cut off the fragrance, not caring that he also inhaled it.

Seeing the person still sleeping in bed, Ye Chuji smiled with a determined look.

This ungrateful girl has rejected me so many times, openly and secretly. Let me see how you can escape this time!

The Hua family army will eventually fall into my hands!
