Chapter 172: Does the prince have a favorite?
That night, King Pingnan was sitting at the table in the room, and not far away kneeled a woman in a light pink dress, sobbing slightly.
"Are you coming all the way here just to see the king?" King Pingnan said in a deep voice.
"Lord, the concubine has already said it, the concubine received a letter from the prince, so she came all the way over." The woman said with tears in her eyes.
"What letter did this king give you?" King Pingnan glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground.
The maidservant beside the woman saw that her master had been wronged, and then kowtowed again and again, "Lord, it's true, my master didn't lie, my master did come here after receiving a letter from the prince, and for this, I also got a lesson from the princess." ”
The maidservant thought to herself, King Pingnan usually loves his master very much, and will spend the night in her room at least seven or eight days a month, if he shouts grievances for his master, maybe the prince will not be angry.
"Show the letter to the king." King Pingnan raised his eyebrows and said.
It's not that King Pingnan doesn't believe the words of the woman and the maidservant, but he hasn't written any letters to ask her to come over, and these women in his mansion are jealous and intriguing all day long, and he doesn't know about the infighting among the women in the mansion, it is very likely that she found an excuse to rush over because she was bullied at home.
"Lord, the letter ...... The letter was not brought by the concubine. The woman knelt on the ground and said timidly.
Suddenly, King Pingnan pinched the woman's jaw with one hand, and said with slightly narrowed eyes: "Bai Shuanghuan, don't think that your father is King Jingkang, this king will be afraid of him, oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, your sister Bai Shuangran stupidly wanted to murder Princess Rui, the emperor was furious, your father is no longer the prince, if it weren't for the fact that he can still serve this king, do you think this king would tolerate you lying?" ”
Hearing this, the woman's tears fell like beads with broken threads, "Lord, the concubine is really wronged." If it was because of Shuang Liang who ruined the prince's plan, Shuang Liang would leave and would go to Bei Liang to think about it behind closed doors. ”
"Okay, since you're here, let's keep it, if there's something to do with you, it might be better." King Pingnan said lightly.
Bai Shuanghuan was very happy when she heard that King Pingnan was willing to let him stay. Ye naturally loves her, if it was because of his father Bai Ke before, then now he really likes him.
King Pingnan is at the age of strong blood, he is not like the prince, even if he is a maidservant, he can casually pull on the bed. Now that Bai Shuanghuan is here, it is just right to accompany him and relieve the loneliness in his heart.
Early in the morning, Gu Peiqing and Bai Shuanghuan met by chance in the garden, and saw that Bai Shuanghuan's eyes were a little swollen, so she stepped forward with a light smile and saluted, "I've seen Mrs. Bai." ”
Bai Shuangwan glanced at Gu Peiqing, she didn't want to waste words with the woman in front of her, so she wanted to leave past her.
"Madam Bai, this concubine is kind to you, don't think that this concubine is afraid of you. Do you know why King Pingnan reprimanded you? "Gu
Pei Qing sneered.
Hearing this, Bai Shuangwan was slightly stunned, this woman actually knew about her being reprimanded? That's right, this is a post station, and each house is not far apart, so if you really want to know something, it's not impossible.
"Mrs. Ben was reprimanded, naturally because Mrs. Ben came all the way and didn't bring anything from the princess to the prince, what do you think?" Bai Shuanghuan said coldly.
"Hehehe, it seems that you are really confused, what kind of princess thing, that is the king of Pingnan who met the woman he likes, I am afraid that you will come and stir up the yellow." After finishing speaking, Gu Peiqing walked towards the door.
"Wait, you mean that the prince has a favorite woman? Ha, are there any women in the prince's mansion? Less, how can you be afraid that I will be yellow? You just don't talk nonsense here. White Frost snorted coldly.
After speaking, Bai Shuanghuan also walked away by herself. However, Gu Peiqing's words just now have been haunting her ears, King Pingnan has a favorite woman, worried that she will be disturbed?
There are many women in Pingnan Palace, and the princess is hot, and her words are more mean. Those of them who are concubines can only endure it on weekdays.
It's just that what kind of woman does King Pingnan fall in love with? Could it be that the other party is also in the envoy group this time? But it shouldn't be, the woman who can come to join the envoy group is at least a royal princess. But the princesses of Da Zhou are either married, or they are still young, and besides, among the envoys this time, I haven't heard of any princess.
Could it be that King Pingnan has a crush on which prince's princess or the wife of a courtier? If this is the case, then she must stop it, otherwise the prince will definitely be severely punished by Emperor Beiliang.
Think about it carefully, the royal nobles who came to Nanchu this time, King Xiang did not get married, naturally it is impossible, King Ding's concubine is his uncle's daughter, the side concubine is Miss Xiao's family, and Xiao Ziming only has a side concubine, then Gu Peiqing She has seen it, and King Pingnan will definitely not take a fancy to her such a vulgar fan.
There is also King Rui, Princess Rui is the daughter of Gu Taifu, and her grandfather's family is the Dingguo Mansion, so this identity seems to be more competitive.
It's just that she hasn't seen Gu Yunxin, and she learned from her sister's words that Gu Yunxin is just a fox in sheep's clothing, treacherous and cunning, such a scheming woman has never been so beautiful. So who else would there be? Could it be a woman from Nanchu?
For a while, Bai Shuanghuan's mind was full of the woman that King Pingnan liked, and suddenly, she saw Shen Ke walking on the opposite side, and said in her heart, what are you guessing nonsense, Shen Ke is a close confidant of King Pingnan, if you want to know something, it is better to ask Shen Ke.
"Shen Ke, come here." Bai Shuangwan smiled lightly.
"Madame Bai, are you here? The prince said a few days ago that he missed the vinegar fish in the West Lake you made. Shen Ke said with a smile.
"Really? Are you telling the truth? Then why did the prince say that he did not notify me to come? "Hoarfrost
Wan frowned.
"If people know that the prince is so concerned about his wife, wouldn't it be a joke if it spreads?"
"That's right. Shen Ke, how does Mrs. Ben treat you on weekdays? Bai Shuangwan raised her eyebrows.
"Madame is very good to Shen Ke."
"Since you know that I am good to you, then if I ask you, you must answer truthfully."
"Yes, even if Madam asks, Shen Ke will definitely tell the truth."
"Okay, what other women does the prince like? Can that person be in the mission this time? ”
Hearing this, Shen Ke was slightly stunned, where did he start? He is not the roundworm in the stomach of King Pingnan, how do you know if he likes other women?
"Shen Ke? Shen Ke? White Frost called softly.
"Ma'am."
"I ask you, did you think of something?" Bai Shuanghuan stared at Shen Ke with wide eyes.
"No, there are no women, the person the prince cares about the most is you, otherwise, how could he have come all the way to pick you up. That, madam, I still have something to report to the prince, and I can't delay it. After speaking, he walked towards the inner courtyard.
Bai Shuanghuan stood in place, thought for a long time, and then hooked her lips and smiled, why should she believe Gu Peiqing's words, she said this, maybe she was afraid that King Pingnan would really marry a princess to Xiao Ziming, and her position would be threatened, so she would talk nonsense here, so that she could make trouble with King Pingnan first.
But last night, King Pingnan's attitude towards herself was indeed a little disgusted at first, although she slept at night, but she could see that King Pingnan was not as gentle as before.
"Madam, don't you think there's something wrong with Shen Ke?" The maid beside Bai Shuangwan said softly.
"Yuling, what's wrong with this Shen Ke? Hasn't he always been like this? ”
"Master, in the past, when Shen Ke saw the slaves and maids, he always looked disdainful when his nostrils were facing the sky, but today he is not so arrogant.
"Hehe, you girl, did you fall in love with Shen Ke? This Shen Ke is a cronie around the prince, and the women in this mansion are all trying to win him over, isn't there no result? As for the fact that he is not domineering to you today, isn't it because Mrs. Ben is here? Bai Shuangwan said lightly.
After listening to Bai Shuanghuan's analysis, Yu Ling nodded slightly, although the master said so, she still felt that Shen Ke had a problem, which was an indescribable feeling.
Shen Ke stepped forward to King Pingnan's room, "Lord Wang." ”
"Well, come in."
Hearing the response of the people in the room, Shen Ke walked into the room and saluted respectfully towards King Pingnan, "Lord, these days, his subordinates have been secretly monitoring King Rui and Princess Rui, he is just a wasted person, and he is accompanying Princess Rui all day long. ”
"Oh? Is he really sick? ”
"It seems that he is really sick, after the prince left from there, but with a stick of incense, then King Rui was pushed out by the guy in a black suit next to him, and Princess Rui returned
I cooked the food for King Rui. ”
"There really isn't any movement? He's so calm. These days, you don't have to spy on them, and the king has things for you to do. King Pingnan said in a deep voice.
"Yes, lord." Shen Ke stepped forward quickly, listening to the plan in King Pingnan's heart.
After Shen Ke left, King Pingnan's heart was really a little uncomfortable, she actually cooked for the lame man herself, he even needed others to take care of himself, why did he have such a good woman?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, King Pingnan swept the tea cup on the table to the ground, and the sound of the tea bowl falling to the ground attracted the attention of the guards outside the door, and in an instant, seven or eight people poured into the room.
"It's okay, this king accidentally broke the teacup, you go and prepare a new one, and also, prepare some pen and ink for this king." King Pingnan commanded lightly.
"Yes, lord." When the people saw that the king of Pingnan was safe, they withdrew in order. As for the painting tools that King Pingnan wanted, he also sent someone to ask the steward of the post station and sent them over.
King Pingnan unfolded the rice paper, held the pen and thought about it in the air for a long time, and he didn't know how to put the pen down in order to outline the demeanor of the person in his heart......
