"What are you fighting for?" The Divine King held her back, "How can a little girl like you fight against those big guys?"

Jiu Zhou leaned forward a few steps, untying her collar from the Divine King's hand, "Don't pull me!"

She turned around and picked up a large piece of wood from the ground, then lifted her skirt, and stormed out.

The soft white rabbit had transformed into an iron-toothed rabbit that could bite people.

The Divine King watched her walk with a fierce aura, leisurely leaning against the tree trunk.

"Your Highness." The servant hiding in a nearby corner walked to his side, "Then...! Then what should we do?"

"What else should we do?" The Divine King saw that the little girl was only a few steps away from the men who were gossiping, "Go help fight, everyone has a head and eyes, don't they know how to use them?"

When Jiu Zhou approached the three men, they were still bragging loudly.

"In terms of talent and virtue, His Highness the King of Qi still makes everyone admire him." The man in green said loudly, "What is there to not dare to say? The Divine King is uneducated and unskilled, his anger and happiness are unpredictable..."

"Ah!" Before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain came from behind him, someone had sneaked up on him.

"Who is so bold?" He jumped up in pain, and when he turned back, he saw an innocent young girl holding a large piece of wood in her hand.

"This girl, for no reason, why are you..."

"Who told you to talk behind other people's backs!" Jiu Zhou waved the piece of wood, raised it up, and then immediately whipped it down, the piece of wood cutting through the air, creating an extremely terrifying sound of wind tearing.

The man was so scared that he fell over, and in that group, someone reacted in time, trying to grab the piece of wood from Jiu Zhou's hand, but was instead whipped on the thigh by her.

Men don't cry easily, but that's because they haven't touched the painful spot.

"Which crazy girl is that, you uneducated thing, if that's the case, then we don't need to care about etiquette anymore!"

With that, the three men surrounded Jiu Zhou in the middle, angrily raising their hands to show her what it meant to call men as heaven and women as weak.

But just a moment later, the three of them were like hitting a rock, all three of them were kicked away.

The three of them lay sprawled on the ground, screaming miserably.

It turns out that this crazy woman even brought her assistants.

A group of people rushed in to beat up three weak scholars like them, aren't you afraid of being called immoral?

"Three men actually went to rape a weak girl." Several armed men stepped forward, picked up the three men with one hand, and said sternly, "You are all citizens of the imperial court, but you dare to casually discuss the royal family, what crime do you deserve?"

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the other three to argue, after beating them until they cried for their fathers and mothers, the other person took out a rope and tied them together, "Follow us to the yamen."

Jiu Zhou saw those people coming and going in a hurry, she held the piece of wood in her hand with a blank expression.

"What are you standing there for?" Shen Wang pulled the piece of wood from Jiu Zhou's hand, seeing that she still hadn't reacted, he threw the piece of wood on the ground, "You started to attack after just one disagreement, and even beat an educated person, aren't you afraid of their mouths?"

"Are they worthy of being called educated?" Jiu Zhou let go of his rolled up sleeves, "A gentleman's understanding is not necessarily the same, today is a mountain climbing day, there are so many people passing by, if they keep gossiping and badmouthing others, wouldn't that be embarrassing the other educated people?"

The Divine King smiled with delight, these scholars were not stupid, they originally intended for others to hear.

"Do you know that today the King of Qi also climbed Mount Feihe?"

"Yes." Jiu Zhou nodded, "I met him at the foot of the mountain, so?"

The Divine King, "..."

Only the wind blowing from the mountain could understand his current mood.

"Miss, miss!" Chun Fen picked up her skirt and ran over, looking at her worriedly, "Just now there was a commotion over here, I heard that some drunken scholars were making a ruckus, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Jiu Zhou blinked her eyes at Shen Wang, signaling him not to say those words just now.

"The sage that mother asked me to pick, I've already picked it." Jiu Zhou held Chun Fen's hand, "Sister Chun Fen, let's go back."

The person had already been beaten, what needed to be done now was to quickly escape from the scene.

"Yes." Chun Fen draped a silk scarf over Jiu Zhou's arm, knelt down and bowed to Shen Wang, and left the forest.

Shen Wang walked under the sage tree just now, turned around and picked up the sage branch Jiu Zhou had picked for him, thought for a moment, then pulled it back to the palace.

"The branch of the salvia is so big." Concubine Su looked at the branch of the salvia in the vase that was touching the ground. Her son rarely brought back anything, not even a piece of paper, but now he brought her a branch of the salvia on the Double Ninth Festival. "It looks so fresh."

"How could it not be fresh?" The Divine King leisurely leaned against the cushion. "This was picked by your future daughter-in-law who climbed up the tree herself."

"Have you met Jiuzhou?" Concubine Su looked at the Divine King.

"Yes." The Divine King lowered his eyes so she couldn't see the emotions in the depths of his eyes.

"This palace thinks this young lady is not bad." Knowing that her son was indifferent to this marriage, Concubine Su couldn't help but speak up for the Ming family girl. "She looks like she has a pleasant personality."

"She looks quite presentable." The Divine King nodded slightly.

But she seemed a bit silly.

After her son left, Concubine Su looked at the maid beside her suspiciously, "Is Du Qing's attitude like or not?"

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that the Fifth Prince doesn't hate the Ming family's young lady." The maid comforted Concubine Su, "A few days ago, every time the matter of marriage was mentioned, His Highness frowned. Today, this servant carefully observed and His Highness's mood was quite good."

Knowing that the maid was only comforting her, Concubine Su sighed. It was all because His Majesty didn't know how to raise a child, raising her son to be a spoiled young master.

Just after leaving the Bright Moon Palace, the Divine King met the Qi King who entered the palace to pay his respects.

"Fifth Brother." The Qi King looked at the red and black patterned brocade on the Divine King.

Among the brothers, except for the Fifth Brother, no one else wore such ostentatious clothes.

The Divine King stopped and looked at him.

"I heard that today, Fifth Brother's entourage took a few scholars to the government office?" King Qi sighed, "The provincial exams are coming, ten years of hard work studying, if it's not a big deal then Fifth Brother, please spare them."

"It's really not a big deal, they only praised Fourth Brother for his talent and virtue, and casually insulted me for being uneducated and fickle." The Divine King frowned, "Fourth Brother is kind-hearted, just send someone to release them."

The gentle smile on King Qi's face suddenly became awkward.

Even though Fifth Brother's uneducatedness was true, as his elder brother, he could not admit this.

"Fourth Brother, just let him go, I won't pursue the matter." The Divine King waved his crossed sleeves behind his back, slightly raised his chin, and walked away under the gazes of the Qi King and the servants in the Qi King's Mansion.

The Divine King's entourage followed their master's example, glancing at the servants in the Qi King's Mansion from the corner of their eyes.

The servants in the Qi King's Mansion were so angry that their faces turned red, but they didn't dare to say much.

Who told the Divine King to have a favored mother, a son is precious to his mother, in this palace no one dares to offend him.

"Your Highness." The servant looked at the Qi King worriedly.

King Qi raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "Those scholars who dare to talk about the royal family's affairs and sow discord between this king and the fifth brother deserve to be punished."

The wind blew the hem of his clothes, but it could not stir up any storm in his eyes.

Ever since the mountain climbing day of the Double Ninth Festival, the invitations sent to the Ming family have been increasing.

Some invited Shen Shi and Jiu Zhou to see chrysanthemums, some invited them to eat crabs, and some invited them to enjoy tea.

There was never a shortage of intelligent people in the capital, although they did not like the usual demeanor of the Divine King, they did not dare to offend the mother and daughter of Concubine Su Gui.

The daughter of the Ming family who was about to marry into the Divine King's mansion, whether it was sincere or false, as long as it was an important meeting of the female relatives, they would arrange for the children in the family to personally bring the invitation to the Ming family.

Most of these meetings were politely declined by Shen shi, until the Sun residence sent an invitation to enjoy tea.

The auspicious day between Miss Sun and Prince Qi was set for the sixth of November, and it was now the last week of September, more than a month away from Miss Sun's wedding.

As a family of scholars that had been passed down for hundreds of years, the Sun family's reputation in the intellectual world went without saying.

In recent years, thanks to the two first-class scholars and one third-class scholar in the family, the Ming family had a solid position, but compared to the Sun family, it was still one level lower.

The Qi king had a good reputation, and after marrying the Sun family's daughter, it was like a tiger growing wings, and was even more revered.

Shen shi held the invitation, turned her head to look at her daughter happily sipping her snacks, then picked up her cup of tea and drank it all, she gently wiped her mouth with a handkerchief for her daughter.

"Thank you, mother." Jiu Zhou smiled sweetly at Shen shi.

Shen shi hugged her chest.

Your Majesty, the Divine King, the young lady of the Sun family, none of them are good!

On the day of the tea ceremony, the ladies dressed up in their gorgeous clothes and came to the Sun family early, taking turns flattering Sun Taiyao.

"Madam Shen has arrived."

The laughter gradually became smaller, the smile on Sun Taiyao's face also disappeared, she looked seriously towards the door, and soon saw Ming Jiuzhou walking beside Madam Shen.

Her slender eyebrows were like distant mountains, her soft lips were tinged with cherry blossoms.

"Hello Madam Shen."

"This must be the daughter of the imperial family, her eyes are as bright as the stars, her temperament is as pure as snow, she is truly charming."

The female relatives who were originally flattering her suddenly turned around and crowded around Shen Shi's mother and daughter.

Sun Taiyao pursed her lips.

These people secretly despised the Shen Wang's strange behavior, despised him for being uneducated and useless, yet no one was willing to lose to anyone in trying to please the future Shen Wang Fei.
