As soon as he heard Xiao Ying mention the origin of the two ladies, Xiao Zhen became vigilant in his heart, he deliberately stepped forward to look at the two ladies, pretending to appreciate it, and then the corners of his lips rose slightly, as if he was smiling, and only said: "The third brother has a heart, I have agreed to what you and I talked about today, as for these two ladies, you should take them back." ”

Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What? Does the eldest brother think that these two ladies are not good-looking? ”

He has always liked beauty, and naturally he can distinguish what kind of posture is stunning and what kind of posture is ugly, this Yu Niangzi and Lu Niangzi's jade appearance are among the best in Jiankang City and even the entire Southern Dynasties, so that they can't get into the eyes of the eldest brother.

"That's not it," Xiao Zhen smiled and said: "Now that the great cause has not been accomplished, how can we talk about taking concubines, not to mention, there is no need to think about this matter when the family is accompanied by a beautiful wife day and night." ”

"Big brother, but these two ladies... Since I have already sent them here, how can I go back again, in this way, won't it embarrass the Yu and Lu families? ”

Xiao Wei suddenly sneered, "The Yu and Lu families have not passed the three books and six ceremonies, and they have already lost face by sending their daughters without authorization, and now they have returned it, but they have given them the stairs, how can it get into your mouth, it is to embarrass them?" ”

Do the bottom job! Xiao Ying secretly glanced at Xiao Wei, but he still didn't give up, and then persuaded Xiao Zhen: "The Yingchuan Yu clan and the Wujun Lu clan are both scholars, and the eldest brother accepted these two ladies today, which will be beneficial to his career in the future, but if they are sent back, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid it's the enemy! ”

"By that way, I have to keep them around?" Xiao Zhen's face was cold, and he approached Xiao Ying, quite pressing step by step.

Xiao Ying's words have almost exposed Xiao Ying's intentions, these two ladies are Xiao Ying's eyes and ears that Xiao Ying wants to put beside him, after all, Yingchuan Yu and Wujun Lu are all loyal to Xiao Ying, but Xiao Ying is stupid, but he didn't hear the meaning of Xiao Ying's words, but said: "That's it, the second brother is also here today, it's better for the younger brother and I to give these two ladies to the two elder brothers, the eldest brother keeps the Yu family lady, as for the Lu family lady, just give it to the second brother, Hua Ji's sister-in-law has passed away for two or three years, and the second brother should also continue the string." ”

Several people in the hall were a little shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect Xiao Yingwei to put his eyes and ears next to Xiao Zhen and say such shocking words, not to mention the words of Fang Cai, that is, it was extremely rude for him to send these two girls to the house without authorization today.

Xiao Wei couldn't sit still, so he stood up immediately and scolded lightly: "Third brother, it's wrong for you to say this!" ”

"How is it defective?" Xiao Ying has always been arrogant, and now he was reprimanded by Xiao Wei, and he didn't give a good face.

Xiao Wei said: "These two ladies are from a famous family of scholars, they are women from good families, not concubines and slaves, even if they want to marry, they need to go through three books and six ceremonies. ”

Seeing that King Yuzhang and King Linchuan had a dispute, Yu Niangzi on the side immediately knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Yuzhang, you are serious. ”

And Lu Niangzi was still standing beside her, without moving, Yu Niangzi saw that she was still standing, and secretly stretched out her hand and pulled her dress, she knelt down reluctantly, but said nothing.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Ying only sneered, and said very frivolously: "If you are cheap, you are cheap, in the Southern Dynasty, the Lanling Xiao clan is the master, even if it is a scholar?" Aren't you going to surrender to me yet? ”

When he had said this, he went up to the two ladies and said, "Today you have come here with this king, and you will give it to whomever the king wills. ”

Yu Niangzi didn't dare to speak, but Lu Niangzi was a little arrogant, and said coldly: "Willing or unwilling, don't you listen to your highness." ”

"You ......" Xiao Ying was already a little angry, but now she was scolded by a little lady, and she was even more angry, and she wanted to start a move against it, but fortunately, Xiao Ying scolded "stop", Lu Niangzi was able to avoid being in trouble, Xiao Ying knew that she was rude, but she was not ashamed, but she looked vicious.

Xiao Zhen scolded angrily: "Third brother, this is the Prince's Mansion, not the Linchuan Palace, if you hurt people here, you will embarrass me!" ”

Xiao Ying was extremely unconvinced, and wanted to refute it, but she was afraid of something, so she stopped talking, and Xiao Zhen continued: "I have made it clear that these two ladies, I will never force them, and you don't want to say more." After he said that, he instructed Yin Luo to escort Yu Zizhao and Lu Qiwei back to their homes, and Xiao Ying then said goodbye.

"The third brother is becoming more and more arrogant," Xiao Wei has not yet lost his anger, Xiao Zhentian is unconcerned, "He is arrogant, you and I should have been used to it." ”

"He was protected by the Yingchuan Yu clan and the Wu Jun Lu clan, but he humiliated his court so much, I don't know if he really didn't know the etiquette, or if he did it intentionally."

"Whatever he does, let it go."

Xiao Ying had returned to the Linchuan Palace, and as soon as she entered the gate of the palace, the chief secretary of the palace nodded and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness is back, this time to the prince's mansion, how is the matter of peace?" ”

I saw Xiao Ying's face full of anger, and he said: "The talk was settled, but I was a lot of anger, and when I thought that in the future, this king would need to grovel to him, so I was even more angry!" I really don't know why the mother insists on asking this king to bow to him! He flicked his sleeves and looked furious.

"The prince has a heavy army, and he has a great advantage, and the noble concubine Niangniang arranged it like this, which is for the good of His Royal Highness."

"Go, send someone into the palace to send a message to the concubine, and say that the matter has been negotiated."

"Yes."

At that time, in Hualin Garden, Xie Guifei was leading a few concubines to visit the garden to enjoy the flowers, and the women behind her arranged Luo Shuyi one by one, in order to show her loyalty.

There was a little palace maid who trotted all the way to catch up, came to Xie Guifei's side, and whispered a few words to her in her ear, and then saw Xie Guifei's smug smile, only to hear her say: "Wu'er really lives up to my expectations!" ”

A concubine behind him flattered: "Seeing that Niangniang is so happy, it must be His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan who has made meritorious service again?" ”

Another continued: "What else do you need to say? With the guidance of Niangniang, it is normal for His Royal Highness to make meritorious contributions. ”

Suddenly heard a burst of beautiful singing, everyone couldn't help but be on guard, followed the sound to look for, only to see a young woman dressed in plain clothes, but the appearance is quite outstanding, is standing in the front of the pavilion singing, such a gentle and delicate voice, it is as beautiful as the song of the warbler, the women outside the pavilion, all of them are jealous and pale.

One said: "Isn't that a beautiful woman, why is she singing here?" ”

Another said: "Your Majesty often visits Hualin Garden, she came here to sing, didn't she obviously want to seduce Your Majesty!" ”

"This is "Guan Ju"?" Concubine Xie led the crowd to the pavilion and only asked, which was quite kind.

When Shao Meiren heard the voice, she knew that Concubine Xie was here, so she immediately stopped her voice, walked outside the pavilion, saluted Concubine Xie, and responded, "Yes." ”

Who knew that Concubine Xie sneered and said: "Zheng Wei's voice, Shao Meiren, do you know that this is the voice of the dead country, you are singing such obscene songs here, what is your intention, could it be that you also want to be the demon concubine of the defiled palace?" ”

Shao Meiren's face turned pale with fright, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and knelt on the ground immediately: "Don't dare, concubine!" The noble concubine Mingjian, the concubine was from a low background and read little, I don't know that this is the sound of the country, but I just heard others sing it, and I think it sounds good......"

A concubine behind Xie Guifei scolded after him: "Short-sighted, what a lowly embryo!" ”

The beauty trembled, lowered her head and didn't dare to squeak.

Concubine Xie lowered her eyes, quite majestic, "This palace is in charge of the six palaces under the orders of His Majesty, and has the right to dispose of you, you say, how should this palace punish you?"

Shao Meiren looked up at Concubine Xie Guifei, and immediately shed two lines of tears, crying with pear blossoms and rain, and said: "The concubine knows that she is wrong, but she will deal with it by your concubine." ”

When Concubine Xie saw her pitiful appearance, she became more and more jealous, and said sharply: "Okay! Then the palace will punish you to kneel here, from sunset to sunrise! ”

After she finished speaking, she led a group of people away angrily, but Shao Meiren kowtowed again and again, crying and shouting: "Thank you for your concubine's kindness!" Thank you for your grace! ”

took Xie Guifei away, and Gong E, who was behind Shao Meiren, came to help her up and said, "Beauty, they are too bullying." ”

Shao Meiren raised her head and looked at Xie Guifei's figure walking away, there was a trace of fierceness in her eyes, and she said: "Don't blame them, the weak eat the strong, just blame me for being from the Shu clan and having no power to rely on." ”
