Today, King An also came to congratulate. The prince of the county was not surprised by the arrival of King An. Since the Huaining Marquis Mansion has extended an olive branch to the second room, it is not unusual for King An, who is the loyal and loyal object of the Huaining Marquis Mansion, to take this opportunity to show his face and let Ling Erye know how much he values him. What's more, at a banquet like this, almost all the ministers of the imperial court gather here, and the emperor will not suspect anything. Because King An did not congratulate with great fanfare, but came as a very ordinary greeting guest, and the gifts he gave were also ordinary. It seems to be just to give his father's companion the prince a face, and come to the county king's mansion to drink a sip of wine and express his heart. You can't say that he must be good friends with the county king's mansion with such a performance, maybe he is taking advantage of such an occasion to befriend other officials. Therefore, the king of the county will not be worried, and the emperor will be suspicious of what King An has with him. Although the prince of the county knew the little abacus in King An's heart, he could only wait for later.

The guests who came had already entered the table one after another, and the brothers of the county king accompanied King An to take their seats.

Ah Ning has been busy like a little spinning top today. She doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the male guest, she has her brother Ling Yuanhang here. But the female guest is all her and Li's business.

Once the guests were seated, the feast began. The male and female seats are separated by screens, but the voices on both sides can be heard.

An Wang opened his ears as he drank, trying to catch the voice of the female guest. When he first entered the county king's mansion, he saw the slender, noble and beautiful girl among the several owners of the county king's mansion who greeted the guests. Although it was a bit far away, he knew that she was beautiful. Just because of his casual glance at the palace banquet, he couldn't leave that beautiful figure in his heart. That is the pearl of the county king, the only daughter of Miss A Ning, the county lord of Nanhua.

King An didn't dare to ask his father to fulfill it, because the family background of the county prince's mansion was too big and his identity was too sensitive. But he still wanted to see this girl again, thinking if he could meet her unexpectedly in the county king's mansion. It's a pity that he has already drunk wine by now, and he didn't find a chance to meet Ah Ning alone.

King An is twenty this year, and he has two side concubines, not that he has not had a concubine, but that the concubine had a difficult birth last year, and one corpse and two lives. Now the position of the concubine is vacant.

The prince is eighteen years old this year, and he will also make a concubine. These two most honorable concubines in the world don't know who they are now.

After the banquet, King An went to visit his mother, Concubine Shufei Niangniang.

Concubine Shu is a woman who is very good at enjoyment. At this time, she was half-leaning on the slump, comfortably eating the grapes in the fruit bowl, which had been brought from the northwest and were only available in the palace.

Seeing her son come in, Concubine Shu sat up and took grapes for her son to eat. While asking his son: I heard that you went to the banquet of the county king's mansion today?

King An nodded. Then he said: "Mother concubine, the son's concubine position has been vacant for more than a year, and there should be a concubine." ”

Concubine Shu looked at her son and said, "Did King An take a fancy to someone's girl at the banquet?" ”

King An hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, Miss A Ning Ning, the daughter of King Ling Jun, is now waiting in the boudoir. ”

Concubine Shu looked at her son in surprise and said, "King An, do you know that the Changning County Mansion is not an ordinary family, how can the emperor allow you to marry a woman with such a family affair as a concubine." ”

King An was a little depressed: "But mother, Miss A Ning is really a very good girl. The son really took a fancy to her. ”

Concubine Shu looked at King An's eyes, and those sharp eyes seemed to be able to look into King An's heart: "If Miss A Ning is just an ordinary girl without any family background, do you still want to marry her as a concubine?"

King An thought for a while and said, "I will love her very much, but I can only let her be a side concubine or a lady, and the position of the main concubine will not be given to her." ”

Concubine Shu smiled: "You still like your family background very much, I told you so many women from a family with excellent qualities before, didn't you refuse because you dislike their family background is not enough." So you still have a crush on the power of the county king's mansion. But you want the power of the county king's mansion to support you, how can a person as smart as your father not see your thoughts. I advise you not to be so ostentatious. Just let your uncle slowly help you win people's hearts. Don't let your father be suspicious of you. ”

King An is not stupid, how can he not understand what his mother said. He sighed, and said helplessly and a little painfully: "But I really like Miss A Ning." ”

Concubine Shu looked at her son and said in a stern tone: "Do you want that position, or do you want a woman? If you ascend to that position in the future, what kind of girl do you want? King An, don't ruin the whole situation for the sake of one woman. ”

Mother's words made An Wang's eyes light up Yes, I only need to hurry up to that position, and I can get Ah Ning.

King An had the spirit again, and he smiled and said to Concubine Shu: "Thank you for reminding your mother, my son knows what to do in the future." ”

Ling Erye has been in office for nearly a month. He quickly adapted to life in the household and made many friends. During this time, he was often invited to drink. Of course, sometimes I also go to drink flower wine. Just like today, he and Wei Chongping met again, and the two made an appointment with a few people who are usually good, and went to Fanghua Building together, Fanghua Building is a famous green building in the capital. This place is very big, after a few people entered, the bustard knew a few of them, knew that she could not afford to provoke these people, and said to them very enthusiastically: "A few masters, do you want those girls to accompany you today?"

Wei Chongping said: Call your top Liu Xiang girl here.

Miss Liu Xiang came over gracefully, this girl is very charming, and her eyes are very seductive. This is the first time Ling Erye has seen Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang's small eyes glanced over, Ling Erye only felt that his body was crispy, and his eyes couldn't be taken away. Wei Chongping deliberately pretended not to see it, and asked Liu Xiang to sit down and accompany the wine. After a while, Second Master Ling was a little drunk. He was a little strange, his alcohol was okay, why did he get drunk so quickly today, his head became heavier and heavier, and a thought before he fell asleep was in his heart, there was material in this wine, and then he lay on the table.

Wei Chongping nodded at Liu Xiang, and several people helped Ling Er Ye into a room.

In the second half of the night, Ling Erye was woken up by a sound of slamming the door, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that this was not his home, it didn't feel right, and when he touched it, he didn't even wear anything. Next to him was the willow girl who accompanied the wine yesterday.

The door opened, and Wei Chongping walked in with King An. Ling Erye broke out in a cold sweat, the officials of the imperial court are not allowed to prostitute themselves, of course, there are many officials who prostitute themselves in private, as long as no one reports it, the emperor will turn a blind eye. But this King An appeared here Mi, Second Master Ling was not stupid, thinking of the wine he drank with King An for the first time, and King An's enthusiastic help, he knew that he had entered King An's trap, and all this was calculated by King An. I'm still careless.

King An asked Liu Xiang to go down, and said to Second Master Ling with a smile: "Lord Ling, don't be nervous, Liu Xiang is my woman, since Lord Ling likes it, this king will give it to you." You put on your clothes, and we'll talk about cooperation later. After speaking, he walked out with Wei Chongping.

Second Master Ling complained bitterly in his heart. And he put on his clothes, and went out and sat down under King Ann. I don't know what to say with a bitter face.

King An waved his hand to Wei Chongping, and Wei Chongping went out, leaving only King An and Second Master Ling in the house. King An said with a smile: "Lord Ling, if I remember correctly, when you were serving in Luoyang a few years ago, you once exterminated a group of bandits. It is said that you killed none of the bandits. ”

Second Master Ling looked up at King An: "Yes, there is such a thing." ”

King An smiled again, and then stared at Ling Erye: "Someone told me that Ling Shizi happened to go back to worship that year, and encountered that gang of bandits, Ling Shizi almost died at the hands of those bandits, he escaped alone, but all his subordinates died." This is a matter, Lord Ling should know better than me, right?"

Second Master Ling's cold sweat kept flowing, and he said stiffly: "Yuanhang did encounter these bandits that time, and those bandits were robbing money. ”

King An smiled again, this smile was a little presumptuous: "Lord Ling, smart people don't have to hide it anymore. That thing was done by you, and at that time, King Ling Jun had no intention of continuing the string at all. As long as Ling Yuanhang is killed, so that the county king has no son-in-law, the title of the county king's mansion may fall into the hands of the second room. You had a good abacus at the time. But Ling Yuanhang is not a rabbit, he is a tiger, so he can escape death. People are not as good as heaven. ”

Second Master Ling knelt down with a plop: "He can't speak a little, King An, I, I ......" repeatedly said in his heart, how did King An know about this, could it be Su Cheng?

King An helped him up: "Lord Ling, you don't have to be afraid, only I know about this." I don't say it, no one knows, we will cooperate well in the future, and you won't be able to get the title of the county king's mansion. ”

Second Master Ling had no choice but to say, "In the future, I will be sent by King An." ”

In this way, Second Master Ling stood in King An's camp.
