Chapter 62: The Prince

"It turns out that this is the third young lady who has been raised outside in your mansion, and she really has the demeanor of her mother, Mrs. Chu, back then." Prince Xuan smiled and looked Xiao Yiran up and down in a daze.

Being looked at by such explicit eyes, Xiao Yiran frowned slightly. I have long heard that the eldest brother of the current emperor, Prince Xuan, is a greedy and lustful and extremely obscene person, and today I saw that this was really the case.

In order not to show the abruptness of her move, Bai Huaping continued to introduce with a smile: "This is my eldest daughter Yixian, second daughter Yijing, fifth daughter Yiling, and eighth daughter Yiwan. ”

Prince Xuan looked over one by one, and suddenly his gaze froze on Xiao Yiwan's immature and cowardly face, stared straight for a while, and muttered: "How old is this eighth young lady?" ”

Seeing him like this, Bai Huaping's face sank, and he replied with a forced smile: "Nine years old." ”

In fact, Xiao Yiwan is ten years old this year, and she just wants to make Prince Xuan a little worried.

Xiao Yiwan has always been timid, how could she have seen this kind of battle, she only felt shy and scared, and hurriedly hid behind Xiao Yiling, who was closest to her.

"Lord Wang!" Bai Huaping suddenly raised his voice, and finally attracted Prince Xuan's eyes, "The concubine still has to listen to the abbot's lecture, so she will take the first step." ”

She was in a hurry to leave, and Prince Xuan was immediately a little unhappy, but he couldn't forcibly keep it, he reluctantly glanced at Xiao Yiwan and said, "Well, this king also happens to have some things, so I won't accompany him." ”

Seeing that he finally turned around and walked away step by step, Bai Huaping breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yiran with an uncertain expression, and then looked at the timid Xiao Yiwan, and instantly felt that his breath was uneven.

She had already discussed with Xiao Zhiyuan to bring Xiao Yiran back from the suburbs, and then give her to Prince Xuan after retiring from Baili Zhan. Although Prince Tan is over 60 years old this year, her wife died early and has not been renewed for so many years. The main reason is that he is lustful and has a high vision, and ordinary girls with family backgrounds can't look down on him, but how can any young lady with some family background be willing to marry her daughter to him, so the position of prince and princess has been hanging for so many years.

Originally, Xiao Zhiyuan hadn't made up his mind about this matter, he just wanted to bring back Xiao Yiran, who had been outside for so many years, and then make plans. But since Xiao Yiran made him lose a lot of face in front of Baili Zan last time, Xiao Zhiyuan finally decided to give her to Prince Xuan, so there is today's "chance encounter". As long as he can climb to the crown prince, the status of Xiao Zhiyuan and even the Marquis of Zhongyong can be raised to a higher level.

It's just that no one expected that Prince Xuan would be more interested in Xiao Yiwan, so how could she explain to Xiao Zhiyuan when she went back? Let's not say that Xiao Yiwan is the youngest of the five sisters, and she has not yet reached the age of marriage, so she has become the princess of Xuan, so what should Xiao Yiran do?

Thinking of this, Bai Huaping's face became more and more ugly.

"Mother?" Xiao Yixian also knew Xiao Zhiyuan's plans before she came, and of course she also strongly agreed with Xiao Yiran marrying an old and ugly man like Prince Xuan, but now it seems that things have exceeded their expectations.

Bai Huaping came back to her senses, she glared at Xiao Yiwan suddenly, and scolded: "I just went up the mountain to pray for blessings today, what are you wearing so ostentatious?" ”

This endless reprimand directly made Xiao Yiwan stunned, she was stunned for a moment, and then tears fell down, she lowered her head aggrievedly, I don't know where she did something wrong and hindered the eyes of this mother-in-law, obviously she was wearing ordinary clothes.

Bai Huaping was even more upset, seeing her crying and sobbing, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes had a gentle and beautiful attitude, which was carved out of the same mold as Aunt Su. I cursed in my heart: Vixen!

"Mother!" Xiao Yixian saw that the people around her were attracted by this cry, she immediately reminded Bai Huaping, and then walked to Xiao Yiwan's side, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and coaxed softly: "Eighth sister, don't cry, my mother is also very angry for a while, so her tone is a little heavier, don't take it to heart." ”

Bai Huaping's anger gradually subsided, and she also saw that people around her gradually looked straight at them inadvertently, sorted out her expression, and said lightly: "What your eldest sister said is that my mother didn't react just now, so she was angry with you." You're a sensible child, you shouldn't blame your mother, right? ”

Hearing her say this, Xiao Yiwan couldn't blame it even if she wanted to, she sobbed twice to stop her tears, and said aggrievedly: "My daughter doesn't dare." ”

Bai Huaping nodded with satisfaction, and then beckoned them to go shopping elsewhere.

After this incident, Xiao Yiran was probably able to guess what Bai Huaping was up to, and she couldn't help but despise Xiao Zhiyuan even more in her heart, this Xiao Zhiyuan is really a good hand at selling women for glory!

Since things didn't go according to their own plans, Bai Huaping was not very interested in the following time, but after a slight turn, he found a monk from Huayan Temple to arrange a few side rooms for them to rest. According to the custom, every time they come to Huayan Temple, they will stay overnight, and this time is no exception.

In a private room, a man sat calmly and calmly with a monk face to face, listening to him talk about the Dharma slowly and calmly.

Suddenly, a guard came in softly from outside the door, and said a few words to the man's ear, and the man looked up, and there was an inscrutable smile on his peerless face.

If Xiao Yiran was here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that the man was the Ninth Master who she had just come here to kill her, and the guard beside him was of course He Lin.

Seeing this, the monk on the opposite side said slowly: "The red dust is disturbed, the donor came to my Huayan Temple to seek a moment of purity, but what is the use of different bodies and minds?" ”

The ninth master smiled slightly, and hurriedly apologized: "Wuchen is a layman, and he can't let go of these many mundane things, which makes the abbot laugh." ”

The abbot sighed, closed his eyes and was silent.

The Ninth Master got up and walked outside, and He Lin hurriedly followed.

Their room is the one with the best view of Huayan Temple, and when you go out, you can take in the beautiful scenery of the entire temple, and quietly look at the mountains in the distance for a while, and the ninth master opened his lips and said: "You said that the people of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion met with Baililian?" ”

"Yes. Eyeliner came to report, Xiao Laogou's wife also politely introduced him to the young ladies in the house, and Prince Xuan seemed to be interested in the youngest of them. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Jiu Ye's mouth sneered slightly, what kind of virtue is Baililian, there is almost no one in the entire Li Kingdom who doesn't know, who will take the initiative to bring his daughter in front of him? It seems that Xiao Zhiyuan wants to beat the idea of the prince and princess.

Seeing his expression, He Lin hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say more: "Master, the third young lady also came." The subordinates heard that the fourth prince seemed to go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to withdraw from the marriage last time, but for some reason there has been no movement until now. ”

"Hmm." The Ninth Master answered.

Unclear thoughts, He Lin had to continue: "Whether it is the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion marrying the Four Princes or Prince Hedu, this is not what we want to see. Master, should we ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the ninth master raising his hand: "Don't worry, wait." ”

"Yes."

Jiu Ye's eyes drooped, for some reason, he always had a feeling, they just went with the flow, maybe there would be surprises.
