Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 372 A Step-by-Step Thrill (6)

For the first time, Wangyou found people's expressions so amusing. No wonder she was someone who had been immersed in the art of power; everyone's eyes were full of thought, except for that fool, the Tenth Prince, who was happy.

However, Wangyou didn't understand. It was just a jade ruyi, so why did everyone's expressions look so strange?

“This is a jade ruyi that was presented to the Emperor by Burma. I personally selected one as a birthday gift for my tenth brother.”

After listening to the Crown Prince's words, Wangyou understood that this was a tribute item, and most likely there were not many of them; probably only a few people had them.

The Crown Prince was raised by Emperor Kangxi. At this point, he probably felt that he could use his father's things as well, or perhaps he sensed something and wanted to tell everyone that his father was still his father.

However, under the watchful eyes of the princes, someone still spoke up. The Eighth Prince went even further, saying that even if the Crown Prince gave it to the Tenth Prince, the Tenth Prince would not accept it.

The Tenth Prince said that there was nothing he wouldn't dare accept as a gift from the Crown Prince, and that even this luminous pearl was better.

However, another prince said that Burma presented a total of four jade ruyi scepters as tribute, one of which was given to the Empress Dowager and another to Consort Mi.

Wangyou understood. The person holding the jade ruyi was no ordinary person. This meant that the Tenth Prince was not worthy of holding the jade ruyi, and the Crown Prince had no right to give this gift to the Tenth Prince.

"Why are there so many lawsuits over a mere jade ruyi? It's truly unbelievable." Wangyou curiously ran over to take a look at the jade ruyi. Even the broken ones she made were in better condition than this.

"This is a tribute item, so it's naturally extraordinary."

“What kind of place is Myanmar? That place is famous for its jade. Even the jade ruyi I use to prop up the corner of the table is better than this. You guys have been fooled.” Wangyou reached out and picked it up to look at it. It didn’t feel comfortable to touch.

"What do you mean? You mean that Burma dares to deceive our Great Qing?" the Tenth Prince exclaimed.

"It's more than just fooling them. You treat them like friends, but they treat you like fools!" Wangyou found it amusing to look at the faces of these princes. "Wenxian, go and get that jade ruyi from my study that I use to prop up the corner of the table, so they can see what it's like."

"Yes, Miss." Xie Wenxian quickly brought over a red jade ruyi.

Individually, they look no different, but since both are red jadeite, the contrast between them is stark. The jade ruyi that the prince brought was reduced to dust in comparison.

Now, the princes present looked even more displeased, but because it was the Tenth Prince's birthday banquet, they suppressed their various thoughts.

After Wangyou lit the fire, she ran away. Ruoxi looked on helplessly. Compared to Wangyou, she suddenly felt that these princes were nothing special.

The princes continued drinking, but overall they weren't very happy, as they all had something on their minds.

Wangyou handed the jade ruyi to Xie Wenxian, telling him to take it back and continue using it to prop up the corner of the table.

After a while, the Tenth Prince used the excuse of going to the restroom to escape from the drinking party. Ruoxi seized the opportunity to give him a gift. Wangyou did not go with him, after all, this was a gift that Ruoxi had prepared for the Tenth Prince.

Ruoxi prepared a very thoughtful birthday gift for the Tenth Prince, but unexpectedly, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes came over while she was singing the birthday song for him, so Ruoxi quickly made her escape.

Then, on the bridge, Ruoxi ran into a huffy Mingyu. Mingyu couldn't swallow her anger and didn't want to leave the Eighth Prince's mansion in a sorry state, so she went over to Ruoxi as soon as she saw her.

Then the two started fighting, from the bridge to the water, from the shore to the river.

When Wangyou arrived, the two had already been pulled out of the water, and Mingyu was crying loudly.

"Ruoxi, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

When Mingyu saw Wangyou approaching, she shut her mouth and dared not cry anymore, only sobbing softly, because this person had really hit her.

How did you two start fighting?

"She insulted me and my sister, calling us shameless sluts and poisonous whores!" Ruoxi complained angrily.

"I've learned something new. The Guo Luoluo Mansion must be a concentration camp of shrewish women. They're so good at cursing!" Wangyou couldn't help but laugh. "I imagine if I released a message saying that the people in the Guo Luoluo Mansion can kill without paying with their lives and have no remorse, and that they're a whole family of shrewish women, and then embellished it a bit, it would be quite amusing."

"Please forgive me, Miss Xie. I will send someone to deliver an apology gift to Ruoxi tomorrow," the Eighth Prince's wife said hastily.

If this news gets out, Mingyu's reputation will be ruined, and it will also implicate the other girls in the Guoluo clan.

"Wangyou, why don't we just forget about it and have them send gifts to apologize? After all, that would implicate other innocent people," Ruoxi whispered to Ruolan.

Wangyou glanced at Ruolan, then nodded. "Alright, for the sake of Ruoxi and Ruolan, I'll let you off the hook. Also, don't mess with me or them again, understand?"

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Miss." The Eighth Prince's wife remained composed.

"It's a pity you became his wife. Otherwise, as a woman, you would have achieved no less than a man." Wangyou looked at the dignified Eighth Prince's wife, then at the Eighth Prince, and turned her head away in annoyance.

"Let's go back and change our clothes." Wangyou pulled Ruoxi and Ruolan away.

Xi Xuan found it amusing that her sister's words caused the couple's expressions to change so drastically; they really seemed to thrive on chaos!

However, her sister was right when she said that this Eighth Prince's wife was flexible, capable, and tolerant. It was a real pity that she was paired with a hypocrite like the Eighth Prince.

If she hadn't been the wife of the Eighth Prince, or if he and his sister had known her before, things might have been very different. But in this world, there are no "what ifs".

However, once things are settled, if the Eighth Prince's wife is willing, it's not impossible to pull her out to do the work.

After Ruoxi changed her clothes, Ruolan made her drink a large bowl of ginger soup. Naturally, she was angry about Ruoxi's behavior today. You see, that lotus pond is not shallow. Countless people have died in the water in the inner quarters. She only has this one younger sister. How could she not worry and be afraid?

Wangyou wouldn't interfere with Ruolan's desire to teach Ruoxi a lesson; she simply stared blankly at the screen, certain that she had seen this person before.

"Sister Ruolan, is the person behind the screen called Bakai?" Wangyou suddenly remembered the person she and Xixuan had saved four years ago.

Ruolan was stunned. She stared blankly at Wangyou. How long had it been since she had heard that name? Qiaohui was also stunned.

"You...have you seen the general?" Ruolan asked, her voice trembling.

“I’ve met him before, back in the border region. But we weren’t close then. Later, when my brother and I left, we encountered a man covered in wounds. He said his name was Baka and he was being chased. My brother and I rescued him,” Wangyou said, looking at the screen and recalling the past.

To his surprise, when he turned around, he saw Ruolan with tears streaming down her face.
