Chapter 166: Is Being the Princess an Ornament?
The various competitions in Southern Chu are similar to those in the Great Zhou, the only difference is that even if Southern Chu is the host, he is responsible for entertaining the envoys of the two countries.
At the banquet, Gu Yunxin didn't see Baili Huanxin's figure, but he heard that Baili Huanxin was recuperating in the palace because he was infected with the wind cold.
If he hadn't known that the person who had been sent to kill him was the Empress Dowager Zhuo's person, Gu Yunxin would definitely think that Baili was happy and didn't dare to come.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin raised his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuo who was seated, Zhuo's eyes were looking directly at the regent Baili Su, if there was no relationship between these two people, who would believe it.
In a trance, Gu Yunxin looked at the Southern Chu Emperor Baili Hui and Bai Li Su were really seven points similar, and King Ning and Xingyun were siblings, but there was only a five point similarity.
"Lord Wang, don't you think that this Southern Chu Emperor is very similar to Baili Su, if you don't know, you still think that it is Bai Li Su's son." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"That's his son, and there's nothing strange about the resemblance." Rui Wang said lightly.
Hearing this, Gu Yunxin was very surprised, looking at King Rui's calm face, Gu Yunxin finally understood one thing, that is, why Baili Su wanted to support Zhuo's son to ascend the throne, Nan Chu obviously had someone more suitable for that position than him.
And the person who broke into King Ning's Mansion and killed Xingyun and that child back then, could it be that Baili Su sent him? In this case, in order to protect his brother, King Ning naturally had to make concessions. And he can control the entire court as a regent.
"Lord Wang, do you know something?" Gu Yunxin said with a pair of watery eyes.
King Rui glanced at Gu Yunxin and nodded her forehead dotingly, "You little elf, since you can see it, then I won't hide it from you." This Baili Hui is the child of Baili Su and the Zhuo family, otherwise, how could he support the child of a low-ranking concubine who does not have a strong family power. ”
"It's really Baili Su's child, didn't you say before that Baili Su was to easily control Zhuo's mother and son?" Gu Yunxin wondered.
"It's true that it's convenient to control, but it's also true that Baili Hui is his son, and Bai Lisu knows it." King Rui took a sip of tea.
Hearing this, Gu Yunxin couldn't help but pout, "It seems that this Baili Su sent his imperial brother with a green hat, if the old emperor of Southern Chu knew about it, maybe he would jump out of the imperial tomb in anger." Gu Yunxin chuckled.
"I don't know if the old emperor of Nanchu will jump out of the imperial mausoleum, I know that if the ministers of Nanchu know that Bailihui is not the son of the old emperor, the master of Nanchu will have to be changed." King Rui smiled lightly.
At this moment, a group of dancing girls slowly walked into the garden, singing and dancing lightly, which was really eye-catching. One of them wears a light blue dress and wears a different ornament on her head than the others.
I don't know why, the dancing girl danced, and came to the front of King Rui, scratching her head and posing
for a while, but the king of Rui could not take a look.
Gu Yunxin, who was sitting on the side, was jealous when he saw this, it seems that it is better to wear a mask to King Rui when he goes out in the future, so as not to attract so many women.
Seeing that King Rui didn't pay attention to herself, the woman also restrained the smile on her face, and when the music was over, the woman stepped forward slowly, "Lingzhu to the emperor to say goodbye, the queen mother Wan'an, the regent An." ”
"Whose dancing posture is so beautiful, it turns out to be a spirit bead, go and see a few distinguished guests." Zhuo Shi smiled lightly.
"Yes." Lingzhu saluted obediently, and then saluted with a respectful smile to the envoys of Beiliang and Da Zhou, and finally, stepped forward to King Rui, "Lingzhu has seen His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
"The princess doesn't have to be polite." Rui Wang said lightly.
"Lingzhu has long heard that His Royal Highness King Rui is handsome and chic, and he is the most beautiful man in the world.
Hearing this, Gu Yunxin couldn't sit quietly anymore, "Princess Lingzhu, you covet the husband of this princess like this, is it an ornament to be the princess?" ”
"Princess? Hmph, I heard Sister Huan Xin say that Princess Rui is a vinegar jar and refuses to give Princess Rui a concubine, you have committed seven crimes. The prince didn't divorce you, it's already your luck. "Lingzhu is domineering.
Zhuo's family who was seated was very satisfied with Lingzhu, last night the regent Baili Su was already angry with him because of this woman, if he could make her lose face, it would be great.
Before Gu Yunxin could open his mouth to fight back, Bailiwei, who was sitting opposite, said in a deep voice: "Princess Lingzhu, King Rui and the princess have a deep relationship, and besides, never accepting a concubine is also King Rui's promise to the princess, what is the matter with this son?" Let you blame all this on Ben Gongzi? ”
Hearing Bailiwei say this, Princess Lingzhu turned to look at the man in front of her, and snorted coldly: "Bailiwei, when did this princess mention you?" If it weren't for Uncle Ning Wang who got you back, you wouldn't know where you were hungry, and you dared to get along with this princess, do you believe that this princess ...... today?"
Before Lingzhu could finish speaking, Bai Liwei had already thrown an egg-sized fruit into her mouth, "It's really noisy, you really embarrassed Nan Chu's face like this." Even if you are a princess, don't think about bullying my sister Yunxin, otherwise, there will be such a cup of ......" As soon as the words fell, Bailiwei instantly crushed the wine glass in his hand.
In this situation, let alone Princess Lingzhu, even the Queen Mother and Bailisu were stunned, and they couldn't imagine that this Bailiwei had such a deep internal force.
"Wei'er, don't make a mistake, and don't apologize to the princess." King Ning said in a deep voice.
"Apologize? This son never apologizes to uneducated people. Bailiwei said in a deep voice. Immediately, he lifted the hem of his robe and sat down in his seat.
King Ning glanced at Bai Liwei and frowned slightly, "The emperor, the queen mother, Wei'er has only been home for a short time, and he is not familiar with the etiquette of Nanchu, so the minister is here to confess for him." ”
"King Ning, the mourning family hopes that there will be no more such things in the future, Ruoning Wangfu did not
Someone taught Bailiwei the rules, so the mourning family sent someone to teach him. The Queen Mother said angrily.
Although this Lingzhu princess was not born to the Zhuo family, this girl knows how to please her, and Lingzhu's biological mother and brother are in the fiefdom, and her son also needs the support of the clan if he wants to sit on the throne.
However, King Ning is now just an idle prince in the court, and he has no real power, if he offends Lingzhu's brother for a Bailiwei, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Don't worry, the queen mother will ask a good gentleman to tell Bailiwei about the etiquette in the palace, so you won't bother the queen mother." King Ning said in a deep voice.
Bai Liwei saw that King Ning was reprimanded by the Queen Mother Zhuo, and he felt very uncomfortable, and was just about to get up to refute, when he heard King Rui say lightly: "King Ning, Xingyun has always lived in this king's palace, and after following this king for a long time, this rule has been abolished, sorry." ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother Zhuo's face was very ugly, she just said that Bailiwei didn't understand etiquette, and this Rui Wang immediately said that Bailiwei lived in his own house, in other words, the Queen Mother Zhuo felt that the Rui King of the Great Zhou was also very unruly.
"King Rui laughed, Wei'er can have King Rui's care, this king is very grateful."
"King Ning, this princess thinks that it is best for this person to maintain his original temperament, if he pretends to be all day long, he is too tired to live." Gu Yunxin echoed with a light smile.
"What Princess Rui said is reasonable, Wei'er has just come back now, and there is no need to be in a hurry, when he will enter the court as an official in the future, it will be good to hone and hone." Baili Su smiled and said.
In Zhuo's opinion, it is Baili Su who is defending Gu Yunxin, if he wants to protect Bailiwei, why didn't he stop him just now? But Gu Yunxin, who had to wait, said that Bailiwei had a good temperament, so he helped that woman, and he still wanted Bailiwei to enter the court as an official? It's a dream.
But if she is still holding on to it now, it will make people say that she is too small as the queen mother, over the years, although her son is the emperor, most of the courtiers are not convinced, but they are all hindered by the authority of the regent, if he offends the regent at this time, I am afraid that he will abandon their mother and son.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Shi changed his smile and said: "Since King Rui and the princess have interceded, then the mourning family will not be investigated, Bailiwei, you must remember to learn the rules well in the future, and don't cause trouble to your father." ”
"Yes." Bailiwei said in a deep voice.
Prince Beiliang watched such a good show, and then said with a smile: "The Queen Mother said well, in the past, Bailiwei was just a guest who lived in Rui Wangfu, but now he is the son of Ning Wangfu, and he should indeed learn the rules well." ”
"Yes, yes, but don't learn from Princess Rui's selfishness." Dugu Xue also hurriedly agreed.
Hearing this, Gu Yunxin raised his eyebrows and looked at King Pingnan, seeing that he was looking at Dugu Xue with a gloomy face, and Dugu Xue had already carried away proudly, and did not see King Pingnan looking at him.
"How many people live in the inn, but what is the shortage?
The king ordered that it be sent to some of them. Baili Su changed the topic in a timely manner.
"There's no shortage of things, it's just that you don't have anything interesting in Nanchu, it's very boring." King Guangping pouted.
"Oh? Does King Guangping want to play? There is a fun place in Chengfang Street in Southern Chu, where the royal family and nobles play polo, if the king of Guangping wants to participate, he can try his skills tomorrow. The Regent said with a smile.
"Playing polo? That sounds pretty good, and I'm going to see it tomorrow. King Guangping stretched out the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile.
This polo is one of the most beneficial sports in Nanchu, and most people who play polo will bet on some weapons or pearls.
The next day, everyone came to the arena on this Chengfang Street, and when they arrived, the polo match had already begun, which made Gu Yunxin raise his eyes and look into the distance.
In this arena, there is a woman in a fiery red suit, who is heroic and sassy, and people can't take their eyes off it. The woman played for a while, and when she saw the king, she threw the club to her attendant and walked towards the king......
