Yuzhu had no choice but to tell Shangguan Beitang about it. Shangguan Beitang asked someone to take the money and go to the street to buy two sets of clothes.

Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses and saddles, and when the girl comes out after picking up, everyone's eyes are bright, and her eyes are much more agile and lively.

Shangguan Beitang looked at her and asked, "You don't look like a person from the Western Regions, how can you be sold as a prisoner by the people of the Western Regions." ”

"Back to the prince's words, I was originally from Nanxiang, because my parents forced me to marry, I escaped on the way to get married, I didn't want to meet a couple in the Western Regions, they lied to me and said that they could give me a bite to eat. So they sold me to a merchant as a slave. Fortunately, I met the prince, and the little woman thanked the prince for saving his life. ”

"No thanks, you said that you are from Nanxiang, it just so happens that your Nanxiang mission is also in the capital, and this king can arrange for the girl to follow the mission back." Shangguan Beitang said kindly.

"No, no." The girl shook her head vigorously, and Shangguan Beitang asked with some confusion: "There is an embassy escort, why don't you want to go back?" ”

Only then did the girl notice that she was a little too excited, and hurriedly covered it up: "I mean, I still have something to do in the capital, and I still have to find someone, so I can't go back." ”

"Who is the girl looking for, maybe this king can help?" Shangguan Beitang asked. "No, no. I'll just find it myself. The woman said with a quick wave of her hand.

"Well, since it is inconvenient for the girl to say, this king will not ask. Dwell in the king's house all these days.

If there is anything you need help with, just ask. Uncle Qin, will this," Shangguan Beitang paused, looked at the woman and said, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"The little girl's name is Park Mingzhu. Just call me Mingzhu. ”

"Park Mingzhu, it's a coincidence, this king went to greet Princess Nanxiang today, and the princess's name is Pu Mingshu."

The woman smiled awkwardly and said, "No, there are many people in my hometown who tell me that I am only one word different from the princess." ”

Shangguan Beitang smiled after hearing this: "It seems that today this king and Mingzhu have a fate. Uncle Qin, take this pearl girl to the side room to rest. ”

"Yes." Qin Bo replied. The little woman withdrew. Mingzhu said and followed Qin Bo out.

The next day, Shangguan Beitang came back from the court and walked into the Beixuan Mansion with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Uncle Qin asked, "But the prince has encountered something interesting today?" ”

"It's funny, it's really funny." Shangguan Beitang said and jumped over the threshold into the front hall.

Qin Bo followed him, brought him a bowl of tea, and said with a smile: "What's interesting, let's talk about it, the old slave will also listen to it." ”

"You don't know, Uncle Qin," Shangguan Beitang was saying when he was interrupted by a voice outside the room, "What's so happy, I'll listen to it too!" Park Mingzhu walked in with Yuzhu as he spoke.

"Miss Mingzhu, you're here. Sit down, sit down. Shangguan Beitang looked at Park Mingzhu with a smile on his face and said.

"I just learned to make some pastries with Sister Yuzhu, and the prince will try them." As she spoke, Park Mingzhu put a plate of pastries on the table.

"Okay, I'll taste a piece, come, Uncle Qin will also taste it." Shangguan Beitang picked up a piece and handed it to Uncle Qin. "Thank you, Lord Wang." Qin Bobi took it respectfully.

Yuzhu asked, "What did the prince say just now?" Shangguan Beitang took a bite of the pastry and said, "I was about to tell you that the emperor summoned the delegation of the Southern Xiangguo Kingdom this morning. ”

"I didn't expect this princess to see the emperor only bowing down, but she still didn't say a word, and then all the ministers were anxious, and they were all talking about whether the princess of Nanxiang was a dumb person!"

"So I told everyone that whoever can make this princess speak will be the concubine of Nanxiang Kingdom. This is the rule of Nanxiangguo. Shangguan Beitang Beitang said and took another bite of pastry and drank water.

Mingzhu asked a little on the ground: "And then, then what?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, and then, everyone rushed to talk to the princess, but the princess didn't speak."

"Isn't it that no one in this court can make the princess speak." Yuzhu asked. "No, no," Shangguan Beitang said with a smile.

"Did the princess speak?" Park Mingzhu asked with an unusual expression. "No, no, no." Shangguan Beitang shook his head again.

"Then I didn't speak!" Park Mingzhu asked curiously and impatiently.

"Hey, Miss Mingzhu, you seem to be curious about this." Shangguan Beitang looked at her with some confusion.

"I," Park Mingzhu was a little strange, paused and said, "I'm from Nanxiang, of course I care about my princess." ”

Shangguan Beitang heard her say this, and it was right to think about it, so he didn't ask any more. continued: "Everyone is trying to find a way to make the princess speak, but it is Brother Zikai who is the most ingenious. Guess what trick he used? ”

But without waiting for others to finish guessing, he said: "He actually found a caterpillar and quietly put it on the princess, and the princess was suddenly frightened and screamed, and I could feel her pale face through the veil."

"This kind of bad idea can only be imagined by Marquis Jiang, if it is someone else, who can coax a girl like this!" Yuzhu said, fiddling with the refreshments on the table.

"So, Brother Zikai lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot. His Majesty, on the grounds that he did not respect his friends of the country, made him kneel outside the palace for a whole morning and was punished for one year. Shangguan Beitang said.

Yuzhu chuckled and said, "He deserves it!" Park Mingzhu said rather indignantly: "Which one is this Kai, I'm going to settle accounts with him." ”

"He, surnamed Jiang, named Zikai, next time I see him, I'll be angry for you!" Shangguan Beitang said.

"No, I'm going to find him myself." Park Mingzhu said again.

As he was saying this, he heard a familiar voice outside: "Cousin Bei, tell me about it!" It was the emperor himself who said that he wanted to make the princess talk, I just thought of a way, this is a punishment for kneeling and punishment, you say I"

As he spoke, a tall and mighty figure walked in. Shangguan Beitang raised his eyebrows. I know there's another good show to watch!

He coughed lightly twice, stepped forward, and said loudly without worrying about it: "Brother Zikai, are you kneeling down?" ”

Jiang Zikai replied stupidly: "After kneeling, tell me if I am wronged!" ”

"It's a little wrong, but it's still to come!" Shangguan Beitang said and turned to the back.

Park Mingzhu appeared in front of her, and she said, "You are Jiang Zikai Jiang Marquis?" ”

"It's under you, dare to ask the girl?" Jiang Zikai was stupid when he saw a beautiful girl appear in front of him, and asked stupidly.

"This girl is your aunt, you remember." As he spoke, Mingzhu kicked Jiang Zikai in the leg.

Jiang Zikai knelt all morning, where could he stand her kick, and screamed "wow" in pain. Hurriedly retreated to the chair and sat down, hugged his legs and shouted: "Who are you, so bold to dare to kick Ben Hou!" ”

No one in the room spoke. Yuzhu and Shangguan Beitang looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Zikai gasped and said, "Shangguan Beitang, look at what kind of girls are in your mansion, all of them are disrespectful to Ben Hou. ”

Shangguan Beitang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hou Ye Jiang is angry, I will teach them a lesson for you." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and deliberately shouted at Mingzhu and Yuzhu: "You two girls who are neither big nor small, dare to be disrespectful to Jiang Hou, and don't look at who Jiang Hou is, you are so bold!"

Jiang Hou has been kneeling all morning, and he hasn't eaten yet, so he will punish the two of you to cook a table of good dishes for Jiang Hou, what are you doing in a daze, don't go quickly. ”

Saying that, he deliberately waved his hand to let Yuzhu and Miss Mingzhu go out. Then he looked at Jiang Zikai again and said, "Brother Zikai, don't be angry, they are just joking." ”

"Joking, that girl is going to kick me to death, huh, but who is that girl?" Jiang Zikai asked suspiciously.

"Oh, a friend, a native of Nanxiangguo, I heard that you played with their princess this morning, and you said that she didn't ask you to settle accounts!" Shangguan Beitang said helplessly.

"Oh, that's it!" Jiang Zikai realized, "However, she, she kicked too hard, what should I do if I cripple Lao Tzu?" ”

"Okay, okay, Brother Zikai has a lot, why bother to be like a little girl. In this way, this king has a bottle of good bone-setting medicine here, which is very effective, and I can't accompany you. Shangguan Beitang said and took out a small bottle.

Jiang Zikai also accepted it politely and said, "This is about the same!" ”

"Brother Zikai is here today?" Shangguan Beitang asked. "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the business, the emperor asked me to tell you to choose a day for the princess of Nanxiang as soon as possible, all the sons of the officials in the clan, as long as they are not married, they must participate. You and I are in the process of choosing. ”

"It's you, how could I be here?" Shangguan Beitang said with a smile.

"No, it's you who are also there, I heard that the Queen Mother personally asked to add it." Jiang Zikai revealed.

"But, this king, tsk." Shangguan Beitang sighed and stopped talking.

Jiang Zikai saw him hesitating and asked: "What are you afraid of, I heard that Princess Nanxiang is very beautiful, and marrying her is equivalent to getting Nanxiang's support, how can this be considered a loss-making business!" ”

"You, if you want to, this king will ask the emperor to let it go to you, and I won't go." Shangguan Beitang glanced at him and said.

"I don't think it's useless! I guess Princess Nanan won't look down on me. Jiang Zikai spread his hands.

"But what if, aren't you just going to rise to prominence?" Shangguan Beitang took a sip of tea and hid the smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future. What do I do to her, I estimate that she will have to pay it back a hundredfold. Jiang Zikai thought about himself teasing the princess and said.

On the day of choosing a horse for Princess Nanxiang, the palace was naturally very lively, and Shangguan Beitang didn't go out until morning.

When he went out, Yuzhu looked at him and said with a smile: "You, where are you going to participate in the election of a son-in-law, obviously you look like a matchmaker, come here, I washed the mole for you, but it is ugly and dead." ”

Shangguan Beitang stopped her hand that was about to reach out and said, "You can't wash it, that's what this king wants." What do you do after washing? ”

"But what if the princess doesn't care about this mole and really chooses you?" Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Yes, it seems that this mole is too small, no, this king has to order two more." While the two were talking, Mingzhu said outside the door: "Lord, can Mingzhu come in?" ”

"Oh, come in!" Shangguan Beitang greeted the door, and then sat down in front of the dresser.

Mingzhu came in and took a look and said, "The prince hasn't picked it up yet, okay?" ”

"Alright, alright, right away." Shangguan Beitang said while carving his cheeks with an eyebrow pencil, "Hey, what is the matter with Miss Mingzhu looking for this king so early?" ”

"The slave family is fine, but I heard that the prince is going to participate in the princess's son-in-law election today, so I came to see if there is anything I need to help." Mingzhu said.

"This king has nothing to do, okay, it's done." Shangguan Beitang put down the eyebrow pencil and said with a sigh of relief. Turning his head to look at Yuzhu and Mingzhu: "How is it?" Can it not? ”

Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at him. Mingzhu also held her stomach and smiled, and said, "Lord Wang, you are, haha, what are you doing?" ”

"Don't laugh at the two of you, help me see if I will be excluded by Princess Nanxiang?" Shangguan Beitang said seriously. "The prince doesn't want to be chosen?" Mingzhu suppressed her smile and asked suspiciously.
