Chapter 23: Princess Ping

Ye Shu'er didn't know why His Royal Highness King Ping doubted the authenticity of the identity of the concubine of the Mu family in Yunnan.

For the sake of her own future, as a cousin, Ye Shu'er could have gone to the palace of Lord Yushi for His Royal Highness King Ping in person.

But Mu Yunyin, who came out of the house, had a temperament like that Ye Wan'er, who came to visit her sick father in the house that day, and her words sounded polite, but it seemed to be a sarcastic blow, which made Ye Shu'er unable to get close to her.

Ye Shu'er thought of herself, when her father came to live in Jiankang, the imperial capital, when she was a child, he never brought her here, and when she went to Yunnan and the north to visit relatives, she didn't have her share, which made her not familiar with those cousins in Yunnan and the north at all.

She rarely had contacts, and she couldn't get close to Mu Yunyin for King Ping, and Ye Shu'er finally thought of the two concubines in Mu Mansion.

Ye Shu'er promised to take her in and out of the noble circle of the imperial capital in the future, and there were many unmarried young men in the noble circle.

As a concubine, if you want to get rid of the fate of being inferior in the future, only by marrying a man with a rich family as a main house will you get rid of the life of being looked down upon by others.

However, the most capable of a concubine is to enter the emperor's house, and after the concubine is added, this is the most admired glory of the concubine.

The emperor's house is changing, the crown prince has been grounded in the East Palace, King Ping has the queen behind him, and he doesn't know who is the last orthodoxy.

Ye Shu'er's thoughts were surging, King Ping had not yet come, and his cheeks were already crimson.

…………

Xiao Qijin returned to King Ping's Mansion from the teahouse, and it was already the time to hold the lamp, and Princess Ping's maid Xiao Lian came over to ask His Royal Highness King Ping if he had dinner for the princess?

Xiao Qijin was already full of wine and food at this time, and she didn't want to eat anything more, but when she heard the princess's maid come to ask, she knew that the princess had definitely not eaten yet, and she was waiting for her.

"You tell the princess that the king will go over to dine with her immediately."

Princess Ping is the niece of Queen Wang, when Xiao Qijin's biological mother was not favored and she was young and unfavored, she resolutely fell in love with King Ping, and asked for the queen's will to marry into King Ping's mansion, which made Xiao Qijin always love Princess Ping.

The arrival of Princess Ping not only made Xiao Qijin feel the rare true feelings in the world, but also leaned on the big tree of Queen Wang, and Princess Ping's father was even more awe-inspiring, it was Wang Dingyi, the general of Zhenbei who guarded the northern border.

It was from that time that Xiao Qijin's buried desire began to swell, so that Xiao Qijin finally went from a prince who no one cared about and no one cared about, all the way to a prince who could be compared to the crown prince.

The flowery scenery along the way is inseparable from the princess's silent dedication.

"Concubine Ai always thinks about this king, you don't have to wait for this king to eat together in the future, you know, there have been a lot of things recently, and during the time when this king was banned, there have been many things that need to be dealt with."

Princess Ping took the coat that Xiao Qijin had taken off, handed it to Xiao Lian to hang up, picked up the jade pot on the table, and poured wine for Xiao Qijin.

When Princess Ping handed the wine cup to Xiao Qijin, she smelled the breath exhaled from Xiao Qijin's mouth, mixed with the smell of wine, and her smiling face only froze for a moment, and then regained her gentle smile.

"Has the queen's phoenix body been healthy recently?"

Princess Ping sat beside Xiao Qijin, sandwiched a basket of Xiao Qijin's usual favorite golden duck tongue into her husband's bowl, watched Xiao Qijin take a bite, and showed a satisfied aftertaste on her face, before she said softly:

"The concubine just came back from Fengqi Palace today, and the queen's phoenix body is healthy, but the queen is worried that the prince was grounded in Yuhua Palace some time ago, and she is afraid that the prince will hold back unnecessary anger, so I want to persuade the prince to calm down and recuperate, and wait for His Majesty's favor."

When Xiao Qijin heard this, he put down his wine glass and said:

"Remember the teachings of the Queen."

Xiao Qijin looked pious, as if the queen mother was in front of him.

Princess Ping pursed her lips and smiled, and sandwiched a spoonful of golden duck tongue in Xiao Qijin's bowl.

"The queen mother is not in front of her, there are only you and me, why bother to see the outside like this."

Xiao Qijin listened to the princess's words, and smiled unconsciously.

"What else did the queen mother say to you? Let's talk to the king. ”

The princess looked at a table of Xiao Qijin's favorite dishes, lowered her head and said:

"Everything else is something that is not worthy of the prince's attention, so it's okay not to say it."

"How does the princess know that she is not worthy of this king's hearing? I remember that in the past, when you entered the palace, the queen mother would always warn you not to make the relationship between me and the prince too stiff, which would make His Majesty feel uncomfortable in his eyes. Why, after the crown prince was grounded, the queen mother stopped talking? ”

Princess Ping's ivory chopstick, which was holding up the dish, paused to avoid King Ping's gaze.

"The queen mother only said, let you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stop-for-tat, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied in private."

Princess Ping said this, and did not say any more, because according to previous experience, King Ping must have a gloomy face at this time.

"The queen's mother is right, this king has taken it to heart."

Xiao Qijin paused, looked at the princess and said with a smile:

"The princess is so virtuous and kind, why don't you find a future crown princess for our Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

When Princess Ping heard this, she panicked, is King Ping sarcastic?

"What this king said is true, since the princess died of illness, for a few years, my third brother has been alone, and there are very few concubines in the East Palace. If the third brother finds a good match again, he may not be able to face Mai Mang with this king all day long. ”

Seeing what Xiao Qijin said seriously, Princess Ping didn't know the truth of Xiao Qijin's attitude.

Xiao Qijin saw that the princess's face was nervous, so she put down the tooth and bone chopsticks in her hand, pulled one of Princess Ping's jade hands with one hand, and said with a very gentle expression:

"Everyone knows that the prince is a person who values love and righteousness, and he has always been obsessed with the sick princess, but I don't know that the prince is also an amorous person, I heard that not long ago, the prince was in a daze with a woman who looked a little similar to the princess who died of his illness."

Princess Ping boldly looked at Xiao Qijin, and at this time she realized that what Xiao Qijin said was not sarcastic, so she was curious.

"Is it the woman of that family who can fascinate the prince?"

Xiao Qijin smiled again, her eyes showing seductive ripples.

"The concubine of Lord Cheng Mu in the imperial history has just come to Jiankang from Yunnan."

Seeing that the princess was a little puzzled, Xiao Qijin straightened out the dark clouds on the princess's sideburns, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of aftertaste.

"The princess has never seen that girl, she and the princess who died of the third brother's illness are actually three points alike, seven points like gods."

Seeing that the princess still didn't understand, Xiao Qijin was not selling Guanzi.

"The concubine of the Imperial Doctor's Mansion and the princess who died of illness are cousins. Their mothers are sisters, so they naturally look alike, and it's not surprising that their daughters look a little alike. ”

Princess Shunan, Princess Ping has an impression, as the queen's niece, she has often been brought to the palace by the queen since she was a child, many princes' wives, she has seen it, Princess Shunan, that is one in a hundred beauties, but unfortunately died a miserable death.

"You can get closer to the Mu family girl in the future, and see if it is the same as what this king said."

"If the prince gets the daughter of the Mu family, he will ask His Majesty for a marriage and a concubine."

Princess Ping smiled with her, silently letting Xiao Qijin keep touching her hand, but she still didn't know what Xiao Qijin was paying attention to.
