Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Seven Princesses
In the mansion of Xia Zesheng of the Sixth Highness, the fourteenth princess was reporting to him, for this time to go to the nineteenth princess's tea house, the fourteenth princess Xia Yuejiao was a little unhappy, that Ji Zhihui was not as she expected, but shouted and shouted with the intention to make things bigger, and took advantage of her, I didn't expect that the nineteenth princess still had such an improvisable person!
"Brother! How about this tea, can it be made? Xia Yuejiao waited until Xia Ze took a few sips of the green tea she brought back and asked.
"It's hard to say! I can only say that it is a little special! Xia Zesheng frowned and said, he was used to drinking sencha, and suddenly changed to this kind of fried tea, Xia Zesheng was also difficult to judge for a while! And Ji Zhichen's tea is not very good!
"Humph! I knew that she didn't have any background at all, and it was impossible to make a name for herself in tea! I regret it, what a waste of that shop for her! Xia Yuejiao said with a look of disdain, this seemed to have been expected by her!
"Hmmm! It seems that Xia Zhen'er doesn't have any deep roots, maybe I'm overestimating her! When the competition with the high-speed rail flower is over, you don't have to worry too much about her! You just go and suppress her! Xia Zesheng frowned and said.
His Royal Highness Xia Zesheng has now shifted his focus to Xiyuan City, and the Nineteenth Princess is really a little unhappy here! It should be almost enough to have your own sister to get it! It's just a little bit not beautiful, the nineteenth sister still looks very exciting, and her female guards are also very good, if you can take them together, then it's perfect!
"Hee-hee! I know, I'll let Gao Tiehua's men be merciful! Brother, you won't be interested in a team of female guards who dance with swords and swords! Of course, Xia Yuejiao knows her brother very well, although she is very urban, but she still likes to taste fragrance and hunt in private!
"Huh! Just like this tea, it may not be the best, but it's okay to change the taste! When the time comes, I'm afraid that Ji Zhihan will also be your person! Xia Zesheng also smiled, the brother and sister know each other very well, and they have nothing to talk about!
"Humph! That's his creation! Xia Yuejiao also snorted disdainfully.
"Back to Your Highness! There is something important to report! ”
At this time, the voice of the personal guard sounded outside the door, making the Xia Zesheng brothers and sisters stop talking.
"What's the matter?" Xia Zesheng asked in a low voice.
"The Seventh Princess has returned to the Imperial City! It's less than thirty miles from the city gate! His guards hurried back.
"What? Thirty miles? You've only reciprocated me now? Xia Zesheng was furious when he heard this.
"Back to Your Highness, the Seventh Princess drove lightly all the way without any publicity, so she couldn't find it in time!" The guard outside the door replied in fear.
"Hmmm! Okay, you go down first, and immediately keep a close watch, but don't disturb the seventh princess! Xia Zesheng pondered for a moment before commanding.
When the guards left, Xia Yuejiao immediately asked, "Brother! Otherwise, we will go out of the city immediately to greet us, and the seventh sister will come back suddenly, it must be for the sake of Xiyuan City! ”
"No need! Since she consciously avoided our eyes and ears, she didn't want to alarm the princes and princesses! If we go out to greet her, as if we've been staring at her, it's not good! Don't make a noise just yet, wait and see! Xia Zesheng thought about it and made the wisest choice, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too enthusiastic! Everything needs to be watched by the fire!
……
The seventh princess, Xia Zerong, is considered the most talented princess in the Great Xia Kingdom, and there is no one! There are many legends about her, and at the age of sixteen, she went out with the army of the eldest prince Xia Zeyuan to conquer the Great Liao Kingdom. At the age of nineteen, he began to guard the southeast, and it took another ten years to get his own fief! It is said that it is both civil and military, and the poetry and songs are all excellent!
The most admirable thing is that the fief of the Seventh Princess is very stable and prosperous, because half of the fief is near the sea, so the Seventh Princess is most famous for her naval army, which now has 2,000 warships. There are no less than three million infantry troops under his command! Her fiefdom accounted for almost one-tenth of the entire territory of the Great Xia Kingdom. And it's quite independent, not allied with any prince, and doesn't expand its own fiefdom! It is the operator's own territory, no one can be offended, but no one is afraid of anyone!
The seventh princess Xia Zerong's greatest achievement is that it took eight years to pacify the pirates and pirates on the southeast coast, so that the southeast of the Great Xia Kingdom was restored to calm, and the fishermen could go out to sea to fish with confidence! And the seventh princess was also named King Rong, dominating the southeast!
This time the seventh princess came back, mainly for the affairs of Xiyuan City, although now her general Zhao Meng is guarding the town, but the seventh princess does not mean to guard Xiyuan City for a long time, after all, Xiyuan City is in the southwest, and her fief is in the southeast, and there is a huge mountain range between the two places. Dividing hundreds of thousands of troops for a Xiyuan City, it is obvious that the Seventh Princess is unwilling! Moreover, Xiyuan City is relatively barren, and the situation is also very chaotic!
The horse team of more than 30 people, led by a woman with a good face, is less than thirty years old, dressed in civilian clothes, but the momentum on her body is very powerful! The thirty guards who followed behind were all strong and strong, battle-hardened, and full of killing spirit!
The Seventh Princess, who was the leader, smiled softly when she was about to arrive at the Seventh Princess's Mansion: "I didn't expect that they were all smart people, and no one rushed to get ahead!" It's a rare purity! ”
An old man behind him also laughed and said, "I'm afraid that after today, it will no longer be quiet!" "This old man is Duanmu Qi, the staff that the Seventh Princess relies on the most!
Don't look at Duanmuqi in his fifties, his appearance is not good, but he has won the trust of the seventh princess, and many of his tricks and good strategies are from him, which not only includes the military aspect, but also in the management of the fiefdom, he is also very good!
The Seventh Princess also has her own mansion in the Imperial City, don't look at the usual times and don't come back, but the Seventh Princess's Mansion has always been taken care of by many subordinates, and there is no dust in front of the door! Although the Seven Princesses do not live in the Imperial City, there are also many shops in the Imperial City, specializing in those seafood, which can be regarded as very distinctive shops! The annual benefits are also very considerable!
As soon as they entered the mansion, the subordinates immediately offered fragrant tea, and the first thing the seventh princess wanted to know was what had happened in the imperial city recently!
The housekeeper in the Seventh Princess's Mansion immediately told him about the many matters he usually carefully explored and mastered. The Seventh Princess sipped the tea slowly, listening carefully!
"Huh! I didn't expect this nineteenth sister to be quite special, and no one approached! But I'm afraid it's not going to be easy! Xia Zerong listened to the housekeeper's narration and couldn't help but smile and said.
"Yes! It's not just a bad feeling, it's just a humiliation! Not only was he hit into the lotus pond by a house slave sent by the fourteenth princess, but he also let his guards write a war letter! Now the biggest attraction in the Imperial City is this competition! The butler also laughed.
It turned out that the matter of Wu Yue and Gao Tiehua's competition had long been publicized by the fourteenth princess, and she wanted to suppress the nineteenth princess as much as possible.
"I haven't seen this nineteenth sister yet! But I heard that my father was born to a concubine given by the prince of the previous dynasty in the summer? The Seventh Princess thought back with her eyes closed.
"Princess, it's not like that, that concubine was sick and had been sneaked out of the palace a long time ago, and then it was the saint who passed by by chance to have such a fate. So many people doubt her identity! The butler explained in a timely manner.
"Hmmm! I'm afraid someone is playing right and wrong, my father won't be so confused! It's a bit aggressive to be done by the Six Emperor Brothers! It seems that I don't want to have any hidden dangers, and the picture is not small! The seventh princess waved her hand and let the housekeeper go down before she said to Duanmu Qi beside her.
"It's not just the Sixth Highness! Several other highnesses are also ready to move! It's just that the situation of the Sixth Highness looks the best now! In fact, the most optimistic is not necessarily really good! Duanmuqi said indifferently.
"Then wait and see! I didn't expect to see a competition this time! It's also kind of interesting......" the seventh princess said thoughtfully.
……
The return of the seventh princess made the nineteenth princess Xia Zhen'er also excited, speaking of which, the seventh princess can be regarded as her idol, doesn't she just want to have her own fief and army like the seventh princess! But now this idol has actually returned. It would be great if we could get the help of the Seven Princesses!
But when she calmed down, Xia Zhen'er was a little depressed, she didn't have any capital, let alone a strong relationship, and she couldn't get something that the seventh princess could look up to, so why let her help her! Now that you think about it, you can know that the Seventh Princess's Mansion is probably already waiting in line to meet this King Rong!
The atmosphere in Xia Zhen'er's study is very dull, there are only two people in the study, Xia Zhen'er, and only Wu is the chief martial artist who can participate in this matter, and the others are useless, which also shows from the side that Xia Zhen'er still has no good generals around him!
"Uncle Wu! Do you think we should also go and meet the seventh sister? Xia Zhen'er asked with some hesitation, if you hurry now, you must be behind others!
"I'm definitely going to go! Even if it's a formality, you have to go! She is King Rong after all! Besides, look at the attitude of the seventh princess towards you, although you may not be able to see anything! Chief Wu sighed and said, in fact, the appearance of the Seventh Princess is not necessarily their chance, because everyone thinks so. And the Sixth Highness, the Fourteenth Princess, and the other princes and princesses all think that it is an opportunity, so there is no chance!
"Hmmm! I know, Uncle Wu, let's talk about this today! I want to be alone! Xia Zhen'er said with some annoyance.
"Yes! The old man retired first! Manager Wu also sighed in his heart, the princess lacks a person to give advice! And he is also a martial artist, and what can really help the princess is just to escort it!
Xia Zhen'er was thinking about her thoughts alone, and walked to Zhu Xiaobao's newly built residence!
