The next day, I didn’t know if Yin Jiao really wanted to save her son, or if she had other thoughts, or if she really had no idea.

Instead of secretly sending Tang Monk to a good family to be raised, he actually thought of abandoning him in the river and leaving him to live or die.

Shi Zhongkui stood by the river and watched Tang Monk lying on a wooden board, drifting down the river, and sighed secretly.

Although he knew that this child had been taken away from him and that his soul was not his son, Shi Zhongkui still felt a little hard to express.

That's when I got the idea to come and take a look.

After a while, a patrolling Yaksha appeared in the river, protecting Tang Monk all the way to Jinshan Temple.

After being picked up by a monk named Fa Ming and given the nickname Jiang Liu'er, Shi Zhongkui's eyes turned cold and he knew that everything was planned, and the feeling of reading in his heart instantly disappeared without a trace.

With a flash of his body, a golden light passed by, and the Golden Light Technique spread 500 miles in one breath.

It only took a few breaths to return to Chang'an City. This speed was two or three times faster than Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud.

Before they even landed, they saw several carriages that were clearly royal and dozens of servants, turning from Zhuque Street into Anrenfang, and stopped in front of the house in front of two huge stone lions.

Then a bright figure jumped out of a carriage with a smile.

When Shi Zhongkui saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but have a headache.

Yu Shun hurriedly led his servants, ran down the steps, saluted Princess Changle, who had just turned eighteen, and said, "Your Highness is here to learn painting from the Fourth Lady?"

According to official history, Princess Changle married Changsun Chong, the legitimate son of Changsun Wuji, who was Changle's cousin, as early as six years ago when she was only 12 years old.

But in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Shi Zhongkui rescued Empress Changsun, and the Tang royal family had an inseparable friendship with Shi Zhongkui.

Not only did Empress Changsun entertain the Three Holy Mothers, Baochai, Yingchun and Daiyu in the palace from time to time with extremely high standards, but the children born to Empress Changsun also visited her from time to time to give gifts and ask for advice.

Using women to win over strong and useful people has always been a common practice among aristocratic families and powerful people.

He has four wives and more than a dozen concubines in his family, and all of them are extremely beautiful, and they look like lustful ones at first glance.

Use a princess to test, not to mention Li Shimin, not even Empress Changsun has any objection.

As for whether it can be successful, there is nothing to lose in trying anyway.

But if it succeeds, the rewards will be huge.

Shi Zhongkui naturally knew this, and he had always been a little indifferent to the prince who came to visit him, as well as Li Tai, who had changed from King of Yue to King of Wei, and the still young Li Zhi.

After experiencing the internal strife in the imperial family of the Red Chamber and the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had no interest in the even more chaotic affairs of the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty.

But facing a cute, frail and extremely beautiful little girl, a man like Shi Zhongkui really couldn't say that Princess Changle was not allowed to visit her.

Even though more than five hundred years have passed, many concubines of the Shi family still look about eighteen or nineteen years old. Not to mention Princess Changle, even Queen Changsun and the concubines in the palace are extremely envious.

After taking the initiative to make friends, I got some good elixirs from Yingchun and Daiyu.

Of course, the good things in the eyes of the world are just ordinary and extraordinary things in the eyes of the wives and concubines at home.

For Sister You, who started learning alchemy five hundred years ago, ordinary quality beauty pills, health-preserving pills and other elixirs can be made at will.

Chang Le, who had jumped out of the car, saw Yu Shun coming over and quickly restrained himself. He pretended to be a lady and nodded, "Thank you, great housekeeper. With permission from my mother, I am here to ask the fourth lady for advice on calligraphy and painting."

Yu Shun had received Princess Changle not once or twice. He knew that since the princess gained the favor of the Fourth Lady seven years ago, she had immediately become the most popular being in the palace among the emperor, empress, concubines, and even the entire royal family.

I don’t know how many pills I have begged from Sisters You over the years. It’s surprising that I haven’t turned into a demon king.

It's just that his personality is becoming more and more lively, which is nothing at all.

"Your Highness, please", Yu Shun took Chang Le into the mansion. After entering the second courtyard, a maid immediately greeted Chang Le to find the fourth lady.

When Shi Zhongkui saw this, he simply didn't go to the back house to avoid being entangled by the little girl and having to learn the art of transformation.

As for Daiyu, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You taught Changle some cultivation methods, but when Shi Zhongkui reached his level of cultivation, he no longer cared about them.

After all, my daughter-in-law and concubines also have their own thinking and social circles, and they have been together for more than five hundred years, so those rules have long been established.

There is no need for Shi Zhongkui to say what can be passed on and what should be kept secret.

Arriving at the Yingchun courtyard, as soon as I entered, I saw a few maids from the Xihai Longgong family who had been here many times before during New Year and festivals. They were standing outside the hall with their maids, muttering something unknown.

When a maid saw Shi Zhongkui coming in, she hurriedly ran forward, knelt down and saluted and said loudly, "I have seen the master. Master Jia Jialan's wife came to ask for help from my wife early this morning."

Shi Zhongkui was startled. Hearing the maid's voice in the room, Yingchun quickly came out with Amber and Pearl.

Then Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing, Qingwen and others came out with Jia Lan's wife and the seventeenth princess of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Shi Zhongkui knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Jia Ao's face with tears on his face.

After the Spring Festival greetings, he said with an anxious look, "Sir, Lan's wife's third brother accidentally knocked over the lantern in the Dragon Palace yesterday and burned the pearl gifted by the Jade Emperor.

The Dragon King was frightened and went to heaven to report the third prince's disobedience.

At this moment, the third prince has been beaten with three hundred sticks and hanged in the Changming Hall of Heaven.

I heard that he will be executed at the Dragon-Slaying Platform in the near future. Lan's daughter-in-law has no choice but to beg me to come here."

Shi Zhongkui looked at the wives in front of him who were related to the Jia family and sighed helplessly.

Having many relatives can sometimes be troublesome.

Fortunately, Jia Lan has always been filial and careful not to cause any trouble for himself.

As for the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, when he was looking for a suitable wife for Jia Lan, when Judge Hong mentioned the Seventeenth Princess of the West Sea, he was actually waiting for something to happen to the third prince.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to heaven to have a look. If it doesn't work, I'll save Uncle Lan'er's name first."

Ao Xin was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple thanks Master for the rescue on behalf of the third brother."

"Don't worry, it's just a pearl. It's not difficult to protect the third prince's name."

Shi Zhongkui was quite confident about this, but he also knew that there were other calculations involved.

The third prince of Xihai Dragon Palace is the White Dragon Horse.

And it was just a matter of burning the pearl that was rewarded by the Jade Emperor. The Dragon King of the West Sea was afraid of death and reported it to the police, so it made sense.

But when a father accuses his son of disobedience, it feels like acting.

After thinking about it, he continued, "However, your third brother committed a crime of disobedience, and your own father still reported it. The death penalty can be avoided and the crime cannot be escaped. You and your family must be mentally prepared."
