Shendu, the palace of the king of thunder.

The predecessor of the palace of the king of the thunderbolt, is the residence of a prince of the previous dynasty, itself occupies a huge area, not to mention, the pavilions and pavilions everywhere, the carved beams are also well preserved, after the king of the palace is received, and greatly expanded and renovated, it is even more like the heavenly palace, and it can even be said that in the entire imperial capital, in addition to the palace, the palace that can be compared with the palace of the king of the thunder can be counted with one hand.

At this time, Xu Yourong, Xu Mingwen and Xu Youshan, who were standing in this mansion like a heavenly palace, couldn't help but sigh after carefully looking at all the buildings and strange flowers and plants around them: "Live up to your reputation." ”

"There is no vanity under fame." After Xu Youshan sighed, Xu Mingwen also answered.

"Not necessarily." But it's just that some people like to sing the opposite.

"What do you say?" Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen both looked at Xu Yourong.

"It's really worthy of its reputation here, but I don't dare to agree with what Sister Wu said, 'There is no vanity under the fame'. How big is this world, and there are so many people who have vain fame, how can there be no vain people under fame? Xu Yourong said.

After hearing these words, Xu Youshan smiled, but Xu Mingwen said with a bitter face: "Sister Rong, is it necessary for you to hold a grudge like this?" I just ran back home. Besides, I also said that I didn't finish the errand that my mother gave me. ”

"Oh~~~ That's the case, okay, I'll go and ask my cousin now, and see what important errand she ordered you to give you in the morning, so that you don't hesitate to abandon me and Sister Shan'er halfway."

Xu Yourong turned around and was about to go back to find Xu Ming's mother, Yan, to get a stand. Frightened, Xu Mingwen hugged her and shouted, "Sister Rong!! ”

"Yo, sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" But Xu Yourong still continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "Didn't you say that your cousin sent something to you." Then you just let me ask. ”

“……”

And just when Xu Mingwen was about to be speechless and asked Cangtian by Xu Yourong, Xu Youshan, who had been watching the show, finally rescued Xu Mingwen and said, "Sister, don't tease Sister Wu anymore." ”

"Yes." Xu Mingwen glared at Xu Youshan, who was only speaking now, before she looked at Xu Yourong and said, "Sister Rong, the most important thing today is Cousin Hong's business, don't be angry with me, let's talk about it." How could I abandon you and Sister Shan? ”

Xu Mingwen didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, she remembered the big thing. That's right, the most important thing today is indeed Qi Hong's matter. And now Xu Chen and the others probably have also seen Qi Xuan and Qi Hong, so no matter whether things work out or not, what Xu Youshan and they can do is what they have already done, so now there is another big thing in front of them. It's Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen.

"Ahh Yes, sister-in-law, you're so right, we're not the time to talk about that. Quick, come with me, we'll go to Chen'er and them now, and see what the situation is over there now." Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan looked at each other for a while and said.

Today, Xu Youshan and the others came to the Liwang Mansion with Xu Mao, Xu Xi, Lian and Pei to the banquet. Of course, the four big guys in the long room and the second room didn't come. As for the Beiding Palace, it is due to today's special situation. Therefore, Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, Rui Shi, the princess of Beiding, and Qi Yuan all led Qi Xuan and his wife and Qi Hong to come here in person. And except for the Xu family, most of the guests who received the post and went to the Liwang Mansion for a banquet today were a little surprised after seeing Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, and the Rui family.

After all, this Shuoyun County Lord's banquet is very grand, but it is so grand that it can invite those who are not inserted hairpins, and they are only the Beiding kings Qi Pei and Rui who came to the banquet to get their status, which also makes most people a little suspicious.

But after seeing Qi Pei and Rui, the king of Beiding, everyone hurried forward to greet them. And just when everyone was around them, King and Princess Li, who had also received the news at this time, were discussing something with a solemn expression.

"It seems that the prince of Beiding and the princess of Beiding have received some news."

"That's for sure, two days ago, the concubines had a separate banquet for Yuning and them, so judging from the relationship between the Xu family and the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, it is not surprising that the prince of Beiding and the princess of Beiding will know that we are going to choose a relative for Yun'er today. It's just that even the head of Qi Yuan, who has rarely shown up, also came, so it seems that they want to marry Yun'er for Qi Hong, the second son of Qi Yuan's son. This concubine really didn't expect it, after all, most people only heard the news of Qi Hong, but didn't see him. ”

"The second son of the head of Qi Yuan, Qi Hong, ......"

"Lord Wang, what do you think?"

"This king's original favorite is, of course, Brother Xu Mao's eldest son Xu Qi, the eldest son of Tanhualang's high school this year, and Xu Chen, the sister-in-law of Hexiqi, but there is almost no need to mention this to the two of them, it is impossible, alas, ......"

"Lord, since you know it, why bother yourself like this. Needless to say, this year's Tanhualang Xu Qi is the eldest son of the second room of the Xu family in Jiangzuo, even that Xu Chen, who took 10,000 steps back, is also the only son-in-law of the Xu family's big house now, no matter who these two are, it is estimated that they will not be involved with us Yun'er. ”

"Of course this king knows, but if you know, you know, but for Yun'er, I always want to find the best husband for her. …… But originally, there is another best choice, this person is worthy of our Yun'er, which can be regarded as a match made in heaven, but who knew that he would suddenly marry someone else. …… It's really not time for me!! ”

"What the prince said, but the prince of Beiding, Qi Xuan?"

"Hmm."

"Alas, the concubine was the most optimistic about this child before, not only a talent, but also able to be favored by Mr. Yi'an, a great Confucian scholar, and accepted as a protégé. Whether it is appearance or talent, this is extremely satisfying, and with our Yun'er, it is just like what you said, it is really a match made in heaven, but people are not as good as heaven...... Alas, forget it, Lord Wang, anyway, now that the wood is in the boat, it is useless to say more, we are still among the existing candidates, and then we will plan for Yun'er. ”

"Good planning, planning? Princess, you are also saying that at best, how else can you plan these crooked melons and cracked dates. Originally, Yun'er was a royal prince, and the talented children of the family couldn't avoid it; But there's no shying away from that. and all of them are the sons and daughters of the golden and jade, and they don't even look down on Yun'er to carry shoes. And it's not easy. In the later life of the prince's title, there was a Qi Xuan, who was originally going to inherit the prince of Beiding, so if he married our Yun'er, it would not have any impact. Although I have heard that the Qi family has a family rule that they cannot marry the daughter of a wealthy family, when the time comes, the king will personally go to ask the old princess for this favor. For the sake of the deceased concubine's face, maybe the old princess will also agree, but now...... Alas!!! ”

King Pi and Princess Pi only need to talk about the marriage of the lord of Shuoyun. That's really heartbreaking, one on the left is not satisfied, and the other on the right is also dissatisfied. And when they finally fell in love with one, it was impossible for them to form a family with their Liwang Mansion one after another, which really gave the Liwang and Princess Lia a headache.

Originally, the lord of Shuoyun County was still young. This year has just arrived. King Pi and his wife didn't have to be in such a hurry to choose a marriage for her, but not to mention that King Pi finally asked for a reply from Emperor Zhou Hui, and promised that the marriage of Lord Shuoyun could be left to their own discretion. Just how Emperor Zhou Hui is now more and more suspicious and moody, so that King Li and Xu Xi, who are closest to him, are deeply touched, and they are more and more cautious. And what King Li was most afraid of was that Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly took back the promise that he had promised him to be independent of his daughter's marriage, and casually pointed at the mandarin ducks.

At that time, the couple will really call the heavens and the earth unspiritual. Therefore. It is to take advantage of the day of the Shuoyun County Lord and the feast, when the head is enough. The couple did not want to delay at all, and were ready to give their precious daughter a marriage.

And the original best candidates have been removed, and the king and princess of the thunderbolt who don't care how much they make, originally planned to see these candidates in person today, if they can find a pearl in the sea, it will naturally be the best. But if there is still nothing to see in the end, then they can only postpone this matter for a while, after all, it is not when there is no way back, they will never choose a suitable husband for their daughter.

But originally everything was already thought out by the two of them, but after the arrival of Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, the Rui family, the princess of Beiding, and even Qi Yuan, all the plans of the king and the princess were disrupted.

"The Beiding Wangfu is the only king of the opposite sex today, and although the old prince of Beiding has passed away, not to mention the court and the opposition, there are still many important ministers who miss his old man's great kindness; And the old princess of Beiding is still alive, so the Qi family of the Beiding palace is by no means evil. King Hai rubbed his aching temples and said.

"This concubine also knows, but the prince, Qi Hong, the second son of the head of the Qi Courtyard, is a figure that the concubine has not heard of much, although the identity is noble, but after all, it is a lifelong event for Yun'er, and the concubine is not at ease no matter what."

How special the Qi family of Beiding Wangfu is, how can Princess Lili not know, but no matter how special and extraordinary it is, as long as it involves the vital affairs of her children, the mother will also be a little hot-headed.

"This king hurts Yun'er as much as you like the princess. But Princess, if the prince of Beiding and the princess of Beiding are talking to you and me about this matter in private today, then we still have room for maneuver, but if the prince of Beiding asks us to marry Yun'er in front of everyone...... There is still an old princess in the palace of Beiding, so this is the second son of Qi Hong, the head of Qi Yuan, and the big event of marrying our Yun'er, the old princess must be the head. Now that the old princess has agreed, I am afraid that there is no room for this matter.

And don't forget, princess, the eldest daughter of the old princess is now the one who holds half of the Xu family's clan in Jiangzuo; And Mrs. Xu also has a sister-in-law named Xu Xi. …… Princess, do you know all this? ”

A king of Beiding, Qi Pei, for the sake of his daughter, the king of Li, can not hesitate to break the net with him, win or lose. But if it involves the entire Beiding Royal Mansion behind Qi Pei and the most important big man, King Hai will have no chance of winning.

"Concubine...... Got it. ”

And even if you don't mention the big man in the Beiding Palace, just say that the Jiangzuo Xu family, which is deeply involved in the Beiding Palace, has to turn this weight upside down.

Although in the past few years, the Qi family of Beiding Wangfu has almost become strangers to the Xu family, but whether it is the Xu family's room or the second room, the actual owners of the Xu family's inner courtyard - Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng, one is the eldest daughter of the previous generation of the Qi family; And the other is not to mention the relationship between mother and daughter with the old princess of Beiding. Just talking about Xu Mingxi, the eldest daughter of the second room of the Xu family, she is already married to Qi Xuan, the son of the king of Beiding, as the princess.

So no matter how you calculate it, this Jiangzuo Xu family is inextricably linked to the Qi family of Beiding Wangfu.

And when the time comes, the Liwang Mansion will really fight with the Beiding Palace. That leads to move the whole body, although they are serious relatives of the emperor, but when the time comes, don't say whether Xu Xi, who is good friends with the king of Hai, will betray the foreign family and the Xu family, stand on the side of the palace of the king of Hai, etc., and so on, and ignore the coercion of the old princess of Beiding, just say that the palace of Beiding and the Xu family of Jiangzuo will press over together, what will be the consequences? Will Emperor Zhou Hui protect their Raid Palace?

King and Princess Lik don't have to think too much about it. The result is already known.

And although they love Lord Shuoyun very much, if it is for her, they have to involve the lives of the entire Liwang Mansion, all the children and countless people. The Pili King and the Pi Princess are not like this.

Therefore, King Pi was pleased with Princess Li's bowing, but he was also a little distressed. "Although if it is a while, the prince of Beiding and the princess of Beiding. If we are really forced to force us in front of everyone, it can't help but be a little chilling. But based on what this king heard about the prince of Beiding, and some of the deeds that Hexi Qi had mentioned to his uncle, this king felt that it was unlikely that they would do this, and the princess did not need to be too sad. ”

Of course, this is just a word of comfort, who knows what will happen in a while, after all, everyone has come over in such a big battle, to say that it is just to discuss with them and their wife in private. Why do you need to be here in person, Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, and Rui, the princess of Beiding, are both older than the Liwang couple of the generation.

King Pi and Princess Li's hearts actually didn't have much hope in their hearts at this time. But they all reluctantly comforted each other, "Yes, what the prince said is right, the concubine thinks the same way." ”

And just when King Pi and Princess Lili were a little negative at this time, in Qinghe Juli, who was entertaining the distinguished guests in the Liwang Mansion today, Xu Youshan and the others finally found Qi Xuan and his party. And Xu Mingxi, who has been with Qi Xuan since just now, also joined Xu Youshan and them.

"You're slow enough."

"Is this still slow? Then you have to give me some time to separate from my mother and them, you think we are like you, and we have a husband as an excuse. After Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng met, the first thing was that the two of them hid aside alone to whisper. And it turned out that Xu Mingcheng was abnormally with Xu Youshan and the three of them, when they participated in the same banquet, they didn't go to them first, but always accompanied Qi Xuan too gently, and they had discussed it with Xu Yourong before, after all, it would be more convenient to locate Zhai Yu's location.

But after Xu Youshan and Xu Mingcheng finally met, the first thing Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng did was to quarrel, which made all the acquaintances who were left aside by the two of them laugh helplessly. Among them, it is Xu Mingwen's most disgusting and doubtful two.

"Sister Shan, what did you say about Sister Rong and Eldest Sister recently, how could they always avoid the two of us and whisper alone."

"Well, maybe they're not whispering, they're talking, right?" Xu Youshan, who knew the reason, said blindly.

"Yes." But Xu Mingwen was not fooled, and still looked at the two people over there and felt suspicious.

"Of course it is, hehe... Hehe......" Xu Youshan said with a dry smile.

And fortunately, Xu Mingwen's attention was taken away by Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi, so not only did she not notice Xu Youshan's unnatural dry smile; And even because of Zhai Yu's existence, Xu Ming's awkward feeling made her feel uncomfortable, so she paid attention to Xu Yourong and them at the moment, so she put it down temporarily.

"But sister-in-law, you don't feel uncomfortable now."

But someone just can't let Xu Mingwen forget about Zhai Yu's embarrassment and discomfort, otherwise she will pay attention to Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng like this, with the degree of life treasure of those two, won't Xu Mingwen be pulled into pigtails immediately? Therefore, just when Xu Mingwen was about to approach Xu Yourong and them to see what the two were whispering, Xu Youshan's words were not serious, and Xu Mingwen was given in place.

"No... No, uncomfortable? Who doesn't feel comfortable? Xu Mingwen stammered.

"I... I, how would I know, you're right, sister-in-law~~~" And looking at Xu Ming's appearance of three hundred taels of silver here, Xu Youshan smiled and said.

"Xu Youshan !!"

Xu Ming's wife roared in a low voice in shame, but this was just the end of the whisper, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng, who returned here, heard it, so they asked, "Sister Shan, how are you teasing Ming's wife again." ”

"Hehe......" Looking at Xu Ming's warning eyes, Xu Youshan chose to be a wise person and didn't say anything.

But whenever this happens, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingming, whose eyesight is a hundred paragraphs, continued: "What nonsense, there are obviously ghosts, you two quickly recruit from the truth." ”

"Not really."

"Huh~~~"

Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng originally left everyone for a distance because they wanted to whisper. And Xu Mingwen just felt that Xu Yourong and the others were suspicious, and wanted to step forward to eavesdrop on what the two of them were saying, so they were also a certain distance away from Qi Xuan and the others. As for Xu Youshan in the end, she also followed because she wanted to stop Xu Mingwen, so she also left Qi Xuan and Xu Chen and others like Xu Mingwen.

And it was in this way that the four of them formed their own small group, muttering on the side, making Qi Xuan and Xu Chen, who were not far away, a little helpless.

"Eldest sister, the banquet is about to start, let's go over."

But just when Xu Youshan and the four of them were talking more and more, the time for the banquet was approaching, so Xu Chen was pushed out by others as a representative, reminding Xu Youshan that they were going to sit at the table.

"So fast? Let's go. ”

And Xu Youshan and the four of them also realized that the time was indeed not early, so they also walked together to the place where the banquet was held in Qinghe's residence. And when everyone was walking together, Xu Yourong pulled Xu Chen to their side.

"Second brother, have you talked to Cousin Hong?" Xu Youshan asked.

"I've talked about it." And Xu Chen said in a deep voice: "Cousin Hong is generous and benevolent, in fact, we have thought about it, of course he has thought about it a long time ago." And although the most important thing about this marriage with the lord of Shuoyun is to appease the heart of the ancestors, Cousin Hong has not thought about himself and the lord of Shuoyun. Cousin Hong also said that as long as this family affair is really decided, then he will do his due duty, and he will also bear it for the rest of his life for the lord of Shuoyun. ”

Xu Youshan and the others were worried about Qi Hong before, but they were afraid that he would wronged themselves, and at the same time, it would be unfair to the county lord of Shuoyun. But now that I hear Xu Chen say this, it seems that they are worrying.

But in any case, if Qi Hong of the person concerned can think like this, then they are also the most happy. Therefore, Xu Youshan and the four of them tacitly turned their eyes to the figure walking side by side with Qi Xuan in front of them.

In the descendants of the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, if Qi Xuan has indeed taken away almost everyone's attention, then Qi Hong's situation is almost the same as Xu Mingming's, but it is so different. Because Xu Mingcheng is also the same as Qi Hong, under the huge aura of Xu Yourong, the eldest daughter of the Jiangzuo Xu family, and the huge aura of the Yanguan Capital in their generation, Xu Mingcheng also seems to be pressed by Xu Yourong in everything, and he has to be compared with Xu Yourong every day.

And after a long time, the imbalance in the heart is insignificant to outsiders.

But this is the same place as Xu Mingcheng and Qi Hong, but the difference is that although Xu Mingcheng is suppressed under Xu Yourong's huge aura, he has to be compared with Xu Yourong by everyone in everything, which seems so unfair.

But despite this, Xu Mingcheng still has a commanding heights that no matter who it is, it can't be ignored, that is, her amazing piano skills. And Xu Mingxi's commanding heights were also confirmed once again at the Queen Mother's Qianqiu New Year's Banquet - "This song should only be in heaven, and the world can hear it a few times", her talent in the piano. And Xu Mingcheng also relied on her unique amazing talent, in the unfair comparison that day for a long time, not only completely retained her pure heart, but also preserved the family relationship with Xu Yourong's blood thicker than water.

But what about Qi Hong?

Qi Hong has neither an amazing talent for the piano like Xu Mingxi, nor any other outstanding thing that is particularly shining than Qi Xuan, so the unfair treatment he received under the suppression of the aura of Qi Xuan's Beiding King is simply countless. (To be continued......)
