As soon as Xiao Qianwei returned to the house, he immediately sat down in a chair and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Zhu Chuyu, who was sitting in the study reading the account book, glanced at him with some puzzlement and said, "What is the matter, prince?" Seeing Xiao Qianwei's pale face and sweating profusely, he was obviously frightened. Was he scolded by His Majesty again?

Xiao Qianwei closed his eyes and took a deep breath before stabilizing his mind and said in a deep voice: "Just now in the court, Your Majesty almost canonized the King of Chu as the crown prince." ”

Zhu Chuyu was also startled, and his fingers pinching the account book couldn't help but tremble, "How come?" Didn't my father never mention the matter of the prince? Xiao Qianwei gritted his teeth and said, "It's not those vassal kings yet!" Do you have nothing to do when you're full? If you don't establish a prince, the country will be unstable! Zhu Chuyu frowned, "That's it, the court ...... "They are not completely useless these days, compared to the unattainable King of Chu, the approachable King Zheng is obviously easier to get close to." Even if the people under Wei Junmo's command are in important positions, they are young and their numbers are not dominant.

Xiao Qianwei said: "You don't know your father's temper yet? Forcing him to do things he doesn't like will only backfire. Those fools thought they could take advantage of the trend, but they didn't know that they were also clamoring, and the more annoying my father became. If I hadn't reacted, I was afraid that my father's will would have already been exported. ”

When Zhu Chuyu heard this, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My father is like this, at least it proves that he does have the intention of making King Chu the crown prince." Zhu Chuyu frowned.

Xiao Qianwei smiled bitterly, "Why doesn't this king know? It's just that now he is the only one in his father's eyes. Which of our three brothers can make him look into the eye? Even if my father really made up his mind to appoint him today, we have no way. Looking at his decadent appearance, Zhu Chuyu frowned slightly, "Is the prince going to give up?" ”

Xiao Qianwei's face changed, and he said coldly: "Who said that this king is going to give up?" It's still a long time coming! It is not known who will win and who will lose! ”

Only then did Zhu Chuyu nod and smile: "That's right, the prince must not lose his confidence." Although the King of Chu is very powerful, his weaknesses are equally obvious. Therefore, the person who was supported by most of the courtiers in the court was the prince, not the king of Chu. Xiao Qianwei's face gradually improved, and he nodded slightly: "The princess is right." This king will think about it. ”

Zhu Chuyu smiled, "If the prince is good, the concubine can be good." ”

Xiao Qianwei said: "That's it, after today's incident, my father should not mention it again for the time being." By the way, how is the marriage between your eldest brother and Miss Lin Jialiu? ”

Zhu Chuyu lowered his eyes and said with some regret: "The Lin family quietly sent Lin Han to the Zhu family just after the New Year, except for a few dowries, there is nothing. I heard that Lin Han's name has been eliminated on the Lin family tree. ”

Xiao Qianwei squinted, "Did the Lin family make up their minds not to have Lin Han's daughter?" ”

Zhu Chuyu nodded, "It seems so." The old man of the Lin family said that he doted on his daughter, and he didn't hesitate to discard this kind of thing. ”

Xiao Qianwei snorted lightly, "I don't know how to lift!" ”

Zhu Chuyu held his arm and said lightly: "Your Highness doesn't have to be angry, the Lin family is the most rudder when the wind blows, and now there is Lin Changfeng's son in the middle of the court." He is still looking forward to Lin Changfeng returning to Lin's house, so naturally he will not be willing to throw himself into us. Xiao Qianwei sneered: "Since this is the case, then change the head of the family!" ”

Zhu Chuyu pursed his lips and smiled, "The prince is right." ”

The Son of Heaven's Birthday Festival is approaching, and the vassal kings from all over the country have also returned to Jinling with their families. In the past few days, there are people holding banquets in the Jinling Imperial City every day, which is very lively. Just the post sent to Nangong Mo has not been interrupted every day. Today, Princess Zhou will hold a banquet, tomorrow Princess Kang will listen to the play, and the day after tomorrow, Princess Zhao will invite you to enjoy the flowers.

Nangong Mo naturally knew about the turmoil in the court because of the prince's affairs, so when he attended the banquet, he was looked at by all kinds of eyes and approached by various characters, and for a while, even the princess of Chu, who was in good health and energetic, felt a little tired and tired to deal with. I sighed in my heart, people should not be disgraced. These ladies look pampered one by one, delicate and soft, and their ability to resist pressure seems to be stronger than her.

Because of these things, when the people below came to tell Princess Lingxiang to ask to see her, Nangong Mo was stunned. Since the night of Yuan Xi, although I have seen Princess Lingxiang a few times at various banquets, she has not spoken, and Nangong Mo has gradually left it behind. I didn't expect Princess Lingxiang to visit in person.

"Only Princess Lingxiang?" Nangong Mo asked.

Qu Lianxing nodded and smiled: "It's true that there is only Princess Lingxiang." ”

Nangong Mo frowned, got up and said, "Please wait a while, I'll come later." ”

"Yes, Princess." Qu Lianxing respectfully retired. Now she is the internal manager of Princess Chu, and she is in charge of the big and small affairs of the entire Chu Palace. Although there are many things, the whole person is becoming more and more radiant. In the past few years, after exercising by Nangong Mo's side, whether it is dealing with people or handling affairs, it is far from being comparable to Qu Lianxing of Chenzhou at the beginning. Qu Lianxing also felt more and more that she was really lucky to meet Princess Chu. To be able to have a career with your own efforts like this is much happier than marrying into a high-ranking family and being a noble lady. Although there were many people under Wei Junmo's command who wanted to ask her for marriage, they were rejected by Qu Lianxing without hesitation, and just followed Nangong Mo wholeheartedly to do his own thing.

Princess Lingxiang sat in the hall, drinking tea and thinking about what she would say later. But I saw a gorgeous woman dressed in peach-colored clothes walking in, with bright eyes and bright eyes. I couldn't help but be a little surprised, I had long heard that there were no more women around King Chu except Princess Chu, and there was not even a room, but I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful woman. Although Qu Lianxing does not have the beautiful face and momentum of Princess Chu, she is also bright and moving, charming and natural. No matter where it is placed, it is a stunning color that will make women wary and hostile.

"Princess, the princess is still entangled in some trivial matters, if there is any neglect, please ask the princess to forgive her sins." Qu Lianxing said with a smile.

Princess Lingxiang saw that she was generous, although she looked charming but her eyebrows were upright, she was indeed not a concubine. Only then did he nod slightly, "It's me who bothered the princess." This girl is..."

Qu Lianxing bowed and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be a princess girl, in the next Qu Lianxing, lick for the Chu Palace." ”

"It turned out to be a curvy steward."

Princess Lingxiang really admired Nangong Mo a little, and put such a stunning appearance by her side and let her take charge of the management power of the Chu Palace, didn't she worry that Qu Lianxing would have a different heart and backlash? However, if Nangong Mo is really so generous, it will not be a good thing for her.

Qu Lianxing didn't care what Princess Lingxiang was thinking, she just accompanied her to drink tea for a while and gossip. Although the two tested each other in words, neither of them was a fuel-efficient lamp, but no one tried to find any results, so they had to be speechless.

A short time later, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door. Princess Lingxiang stood up first, and Nangong Mo appeared at the door dressed in plain clothes, "Princess Lingxiang, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Princess Lingxiang smiled and said, "Don't dare, it's this princess who disturbs the princess." ”

"Princess." Qu Lianxing stepped forward to salute.

Nangong Mo nodded with a smile and walked to the main seat and sat down. Qu Lianxing did not sit with him anymore, but stood at the bottom of Nangong Mo, his demeanor was respectful and docile, and his demeanor was not reduced in the slightest when he clashed with Princess Lingxiang. Princess Lingxiang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I took the liberty to visit, I really want to discuss some important matters with the princess, I don't know if I can... Borrow a step to speak? He looked at Qu Lianxing and signaled that he wanted to talk to Nangong Mo alone.

Nangong Mo nodded slightly, and Qu Lianxing blessed his body and turned around to leave.

Watching her go out, Princess Lingxiang sighed: "The princess has many talents, which is really a blessing." ”

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "The princess has won the award, I don't know if the princess has anything to talk to me about alone?" ”

Princess Lingxiang looked at her and said, "Presumably the princess also knows that Nanyue and Daxia have a sense of harmony?" Nangong Mo bowed his head slightly and did not speak, Princess Lingxiang sighed lightly and said, "It is really presumptuous to come today. I really have a reluctant request. ”

Nangong Moxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously a little curious about Princess Lingxiang's so-called reluctant invitation.

Princess Lingxiang sighed and said, "His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor has only four princes under his knees, so the court and the middle are very stable and harmonious. But I don't know that I South Vietnam... There are more than a dozen princesses under my father's knees, and I am ranked eleven. The eldest Hua Huang sister is twenty years older than me, and now she is the wife of the patriarch of the largest tribe in South Vietnam, and the rest are not far behind. Not to mention that there are more than a dozen royal brothers......"

Nangong Mo frowned slightly, still silent.

Princess Lingxiang continued: "Originally, my father intended to marry me to the general of the South Vietnamese Protectorate, but I invited myself to kiss Daxia. Really, I wanted to find a way to survive for myself. The general of the protector has a heavy army, how can my imperial sisters and brothers be willing to let me control such a big force? ”

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "I heard that the princess of Nanyue can also hold the power." ”

Princess Lingxiang said with a smile: "Yes, although Nanyue has not yet been a queen abroad, it does not restrict the princess from taking power, as long as she has the ability." It is precisely because of this that the battle in the Nanyue Palace has become more and more intense. My father loved me, but unfortunately I was young, and by the time I grew up, I was... Rather than everyone treating me as a thorn in their side to survive, it is better to leave South Vietnam and find peace. ”

Nangong Mo looked at Princess Lingxiang sideways and asked, "So, why did the princess come to the Chu Palace?" ”

Princess Lingxiang said: "I hope Princess Chu can accept me ......"

Seeing that Nangong Mo's face was slightly gloomy, Princess Lingxiang hurriedly said: "The princess misunderstood me, Lingxiang has no intention of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. I want to ask the princess to be a side concubine for me, so that I can have a place to live in Daxia. Ten years later, when South Vietnam no longer pays attention to my whereabouts, Ling Xiang will leave Bactria on her own. During this period, I promise that I will never have any thoughts about His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

Nangong Mo looked at Princess Lingxiang with some surprise, and the words that this Nanyue princess said made her feel quite interested.

"The princess doesn't believe me?" Princess Lingxiang frowned and asked.

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a little weird." ”

Princess Lingxiang smiled bitterly, "Let the princess smile, the whole Great Xia... In addition to entering the palace, I am afraid that only Princess Chu can provide me with a stable place to live. If the princess can agree, she will be very gracious, and Lingxiang will be unforgettable. ”

Nangong Mo lowered her eyes and pondered, Princess Lingxiang was not in a hurry, Nangong Mo would definitely not be able to agree to her right away from this kind of thing. But she still thinks she still has a chance, "I've heard... The courtiers of Great Xia complained about the lack of backyard of the Chu Palace. If the princess can fulfill Lingxiang, it can be regarded as a two-way benefit, isn't it? ”

Nangong Mo raised his head and looked at Princess Lingxiang for a long time before slowly shaking his head and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that this concubine won't be able to help the princess." ”

Hearing this, Princess Lingxiang couldn't help but be stunned. It's a little unclear why, Princess Chu... rejected her so neatly? Why?

"Why? Princess, I really ......"

Nangong Mo raised his hand to stop what she wanted to say, and said, "It has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not, and whether the princess is interested in the prince or not. Princess Lingxiang was dazed, "That... For what? ”

Nangong Mo said: "In the palace of the King of Chu... Won't go into anyone. ”

"How is this possible?!" Princess Lingxiang said, "The princess thinks... Is this a reality? "Even in South Vietnam, the status of women is higher than that of Daxia, but there are still not a few men with three wives and four concubines, and the South Vietnamese royal family is even more wives and concubines. Great Xia is more strict than Nanyue's etiquette, and Great Xia is also more powerful and vast than Nanyue, how can the eldest son of the emperor of Great Xia have only one wife and not even a concubine? Even if the royal family and courtiers could endure it for a while, it would be impossible for them to endure it for a lifetime.

Princess Lingxiang looked at Nangong Mo with a strange expression and said, "Does the princess really believe that the king of Chu will be devoted to you for the rest of his life?" ”

Princess Lingxiang felt that the plain woman sitting in front of her was a little ridiculous. I heard how the princess of Chu in Great Xia was so good, did she turn out to be such an innocent woman?

Nangong Mo raised his eyes, as if he didn't see the disapproval in her eyes. said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, whether you can be single-minded for the rest of your life, you don't know until you finish this life, isn't it?" ”

Princess Lingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she wasn't really that stupid.

"The princess knows it's impossible, so why ......"

Nangong Mo smiled: "However, I do believe in him now. ”

“……”

After being silent for a long time, Princess Lingxiang sighed helplessly and said, "Since the princess believes in His Royal Highness the King of Chu, why can't she make a convenience with me?" Naturally, I will not repay the princess and His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

Nangong Mo smiled and groaned: "Because, I don't like anyone other than me to label him, even if I know it's fake." Other than that... Is the princess really just looking for a place to stay? Or am I really a gullible person in the eyes of the princess? ”
