Chapter 81: The Return of Victory
In Yuancheng, the second prince returned victoriously, the emperor was very happy, rewarded him heavily, and the celebration banquet was set up that night, when the regent was still in Blackwater City, naturally he did not participate.
Wei Qing performed well, and the emperor also rewarded the Wei family with a lot of things, and thought about giving Wei Wan to the second prince, how could Queen Wang agree, and diverted the topic in time.
At the celebration banquet, the second prince drank more, but his mind was also sober, he tasted power for the first time, and the desire in his heart forced him to want more.
There was a smile on everyone's face in the room between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, he got up and went out to sober up, Wang Zixuan also secretly went out, and she saw Gu Jiuxiao drinking alone by the Thousand Carp Pond.
"Second prince, how does it feel to return from glory!" She walked over with a smile, but there was not much love in her eyes, revealing shrewdness and calculation.
Gu Jiuxiao ignored her, she could indeed predict the enemy's movements one step earlier on the battlefield, which was also the key reason why he was able to win.
Seeing that he ignored him, Wang Zixuan put away her smile and looked a little solemn, "You won't forget what you promised me." ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Jiuxiao suddenly turned around and pinched her chin, slowly approached, and sneered, "Why, you can't wait to marry me." ”
The mellow aroma of the wine mixed with an ambiguous atmosphere permeated the two of them, but Wang Zixuan was not shy at all, but boldly climbed on his shoulder, "Yes, second prince, can't you see, I do so much just to marry you." ”
His eyes stared at him straight, without the slightest evasion. Gu Jiuxiao suddenly pushed her away indifferently, "This prince will not marry a concubine as a concubine, you can only be a side concubine." ”
When I needed his help before, I only said that I would marry her, but I didn't say whether it was the main concubine or the side concubine.
Unexpectedly, she accepted it calmly after listening to it, but proposed that he marry Wang Ziying as a concubine, which would be of great help to him in the future, and her words were all about his future.
Gu Jiuxiao was a little impatient, he didn't like the feeling of being manipulated, "You don't need to worry about this, I have the final say on who I marry." ”
She smiled and laughed at his innocence, "The second prince, born in the emperor's family, has never been able to help himself, only if you get more rights, you will have more opportunities to choose, so you must listen to me." ”
Gu Jiuxiao had to admit that her words were right, but she felt that her smile was very dazzling, and the words she said were even more annoying.
The two returned to the banquet one after the other, and the emperor just talked about marrying him, and the first thing he considered was still Wei Wan, and General Wei only had this one granddaughter, so she could only marry into the royal family.
The smile on Queen Wang's face couldn't be hung up, the emperor knew that she liked Wang Ziying, but he still proposed Wei Wan, isn't this an obvious slap in the face.
"What does Xiao'er think!" The emperor asked.
A simple choice that several people were nervous about.
Queen Wang is nervous about the status of the Wang family, Wang Ziying is also worried that she can't marry her beloved, although Wei Wan is calm on the surface, in fact, her skirt has been crumpled.
Gu Jiuxiao's expression was calm, "Miss Wei Wan is gentle and kind, and Erchen often hears Wei Qing mention her. ”
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, what did he mention about Wei Wan, Wei Wan was also nervous, she didn't want to marry the second prince, she was still thinking about that person in her heart.
Mrs. Wang was also anxious, but she still held down Wang Ziying, who almost jumped up, if she lost her temper at this time, it would be too damaging to her face.
"But," he said, "Erchen and Ziying's childhood sweetheart are in love, and they have always hoped to marry her." ”
As soon as he spoke, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, but the emperor's face was not very good, not because the second prince did not like Wei Wan, but because he was suspicious of the sincerity of the Wei family.
The emperor proposed that it was an honor, but it was a bad idea to take the initiative to get up.
Therefore, the second prince later proposed to marry Miss Wang, and he was not so resistant, plus he made such a great contribution, such a request is not excessive.
"Since Xiao'er already has a heart, then the father will personally give you a marriage, Xia Li, bring pen and ink."
Gonggong Xia quickly brought the things over, and the emperor personally gave the marriage in front of all the ministers.
Wang Ziying was overjoyed, compared to her, Lord Wang and his wife were much calmer, and thanked them in a proper manner, but Mrs. Wang still looked like she had something to say.
When the queen saw it, she asked, "Madame Wang, you seem to have something to say." ”
She took over the conversation and knelt down again, "Back to the queen, the emperor's holy grace, I shouldn't have asked for anything more, but I just ,,," She hesitated and stopped talking.
Wang Zixuan stared at her closely, for fear that she would drop the chain at a critical moment.
Fortunately, the emperor was in a good mood today, and said with a smile, "If you have anything, just say it directly, and I won't blame you if you say it wrong." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang relieved herself, "The courtiers are just worried that their daughter will marry without one and will not be able to take better care of the second prince, so I want to ask the emperor to send Zixuan over with her, even if it is only to be a concubine." ”
Hearing this, Wang Zixuan's complexion suddenly changed, what she said to Mrs. Wang was obviously a side concubine, but now she suddenly changed her mouth, concubine, heh, she was afraid that she would rob her daughter's position.
After hearing this, the emperor just said casually, "Since this is the case, then let her enter the prince's mansion together." ”
"Father!" At this moment, the second prince spoke, "Since you are married, then give her the identity of a side concubine, she is Ying'er's sister, if she is only a concubine, wouldn't it seem that she has no face as a concubine." ”
His words were very comprehensive, and Mrs. Wang did not doubt it at all, but felt that he really liked her daughter.
The emperor didn't know what his attitude was, so he only said, "If you like it, you can do it according to your heart." ”
On the way back, Wang Ziying was unhappy, "Mother, how can you let a concubine marry the second prince with me, and she is also worthy." ”
Wang Zixuan rode in a carriage alone, and she was naturally unscrupulous when she spoke.
Lord Wang and Mrs. Wang both had a headache about this, although they had some small schemes, but they were always not so thoughtful in their words and deeds, and they were far worse than Wang Zixuan, which was also their intention to let her enter the prince's mansion together.
"You don't have your sister's foresight, she is staring at you a little bit, I can rest assured, besides, the second prince will not let a concubine be a concubine, and you are happy with each other, she can't threaten your position, but can help you in the future." ”
After Mrs. Wang painstakingly explained, she added: "You must remember that if the second prince has another woman in the future, let Wang Zixuan do those things that need to be done by means, you just need to show the momentum of the concubine." ”
Although Wang Ziying spoke in a hurry, her head was still very smart, and she immediately understood what it meant, and she stopped making trouble at the moment.
The second prince is going to marry the sisters of the Wang family in the Yuan City, and many women in the city are envious, you know, the second prince is the person they want to marry the most except the regent, but now the two have married wives, and they can only be concubines in the future.
Mrs. Wang has been busy recently, not only busy with Wang Ziying's marriage, but also busy getting acquainted with the people who came to congratulate her, Lord Wang is in the court, and unconsciously there are more flattering people, plus the current queen is also surnamed Wang, for a while, the Wang family is in the limelight, and how many people want to have a relationship with them.
Bai Xiyue didn't know these things, she had been watched by Lin Zi'an to recuperate after she came back, and she couldn't go out, even after walking around the palace for a long time, he would say a few words.
It's winter, the weather is cold, Gu Yichen is busy with the matter of getting back the military power, often not in the palace, Bai Xiyue can't go out, she is very bored, when the injury on her back is almost healed, she is restless, just at this time, the fifth prince sent someone to send a letter, wanting to get together in Tianxiangju.
She was in peace for several days, and Gu Yichen didn't send secret guards to watch her all the time, which just gave her an opportunity. The joy of going out made her not notice that going out was too smooth.
After some tossing, she finally arrived at Tianxiangju, the fifth prince heard about her injury, and gave her medicine to remove scars, the two chatted for a while, Bai Xiyue made an excuse to leave in advance, she finally came out for a trip, but she couldn't waste it here.
The fifth prince didn't keep it, but he hesitated to say something when he left, but in the end he didn't speak.
The sky changed outside, and it seemed that it was going to snow, so she ran to Rouge to beg for a drink, and after a few glasses, her body instantly warmed.
Xu had been stuffy in the palace for too long, she drank two more glasses, and Rouge ran out without paying attention to her, and everyone saw a woman in a silver-gray cloak running out, and those who saw her face clearly were amazed.
After Bai Xiyue went out, she found that it was snowing outside, and the snowflakes in the sky were sprinkled on the ground, and she decided not to go back at the moment, and walked outside at will.
Completely unaware of the danger behind her, she noticed that something was wrong as she walked, there was someone behind her, her alcohol instantly sobered up, and she walked forward silently, and in a corner place, she sped up.
When the man saw that he had been discovered, he no longer concealed it, and blocked her directly.
"What people!" She snapped.
Rakshasa's face was grim, and a sharp sword shone, "The one who killed you." As he spoke, he made a move.
She obviously felt a heavy murderous aura coming to her face, I don't know his ability, run, at this moment she only had this one thought in her mind, she calculated the distance, shot out a few silver needles, but unfortunately was dodged, the man did not delay, after catching up with her, he immediately used a killing move, and she was forced into a corner in the dodge.
The rakshasa approached little by little, and at this time, Bai Xiyue suddenly took the initiative to approach, and inadvertently shot the silver needle, and he didn't notice it until he reacted, and the hand holding the sword had no strength.
"You're poisoned." Rakshasa couldn't believe that she would be poisoned by a little girl.
Bai Xiyue had already distanced herself from him, and her cute face was full of smug smiles, "So don't underestimate a little girl." ”
"Hahaha, it's a pity you're still too tender." Saying that, he rushed over with sharp eyes, forcibly suppressed the toxin with internal force, and his sword, stabbed into his body, immortal and crippled.
However, he was intercepted, it was the dark six, and he rushed over in time, the rakshasa used ten great strength, he was repelled far away by the sword qi, and then the dark guards all surrounded and protected Bai Xiyue inside.
