Chapter 448: Youkai
Within ten days, accurate news came from Xiliang, Che Chi, Yuewu, and the three kingdoms of the Great Clan successively bowed down to Xiliang, and the Queen of Xiliang had returned to the capital, and then Xiliang celebrated with the whole country. The first reaction of every Da Zhou person who heard the news was that Xiliang really got out of trouble and rose!
Queen Xiliang is really not an ordinary person, and it is not surprising that Xiliang will be under her governance for up to ten years, and whether it is military strength or financial resources, it can be increased several times at will.
For a long time, the situation that Princess Longyu was most worried about finally appeared, and the result of choosing the crown prince was not as good as she wanted, so her dissatisfaction with Emperor Yongchang became more and more serious.
I don't know people, I raise tigers for trouble, what a wise emperor! Princess Longyu laughed madly, and after laughing, she couldn't stop crying.
But today, sending troops to Xiliang has become a distant dream, and Emperor Yongchang did not agree to it before, not to mention, he has received so many benefits from Xiliang for two consecutive years, and if he proposes to send troops to Xiliang now, Princess Longyu believes that his eldest nephew will directly point at her nose and scold.
Heh, Jiangshan Sheji? Relatives and elders? Phew, none of them can match his boxes of gold and silver treasures!
In the face of Xiliang's victory, the main theme of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is to celebrate with joy, which Zhou Hexi only felt that the festive atmosphere was quite strong when he walked on the street.
In contrast, she is much calmer, and she still puts her mind on the operation of the restaurant every day. In order to better divert customers, she adjusted the menus of Zuixian Lou and Zhou Ji delicacies, trying to avoid repetition and similar dishes, and on this basis, she tried to create a situation where each has its own characteristics and its own merits, and in private, the two restaurants can contact and communicate at any time to maximize their benefits.
One day, Zhou Hexi, who was working as a technical guide in the back kitchen of the restaurant, received a letter of invitation, and Princess Nansheng, who had not seen her for many days, booked a table of banquets in the Zuixian Building opposite and invited her to the banquet.
"Strange, why did you choose to be in the Drunken Immortal Building?" Onyx muttered, as a common sense, as the master's cousin, she should be from a restaurant, but Zhou Hexi didn't realize anything, the drunken fairy building had already entered her bag as part of the dowry, and for her, Princess Nansheng made the same money wherever she spends.
After a little tidying up, Zhou Hexi went to the appointment.
Today's Princess Nansheng has obtained the permission of Emperor Yongchang, not only can she enter and leave the harem at will, but also leave the Lifan Courtyard at will, play around, and make friends, so this Princess Xiliang has become the new favorite of the noble girl world in the capital.
Compared with the subtlety of the noble daughter of the Great Zhou, Princess Nansheng is too direct, Zhou Hexi has not yet warmed the stool, and the purpose of the convenience is clear, "My cousin has received a lot of love and rewards from my king, so she didn't think about repaying the favor?" ”
Zhou Hexi: "......"
What do you mean? Do you want to return the gift you received?
"If my cousin doesn't understand? Okay, I'll just mention one or two. Ahem, what about me, I am the eldest princess of Queen Xiliang, oh, this is equivalent to you being the eldest lady of Yi'an Houfu. ”
"Since childhood, the queen and her husband have been very fond of this princess, and the husband is even more bent on me inheriting the throne in the future, but I have decided to give up."
Zhou Hexi: "......"
"Being able to give up the throne shows that the princess either has a mind that is difficult for ordinary people to compare, or there are more important things to do."
"Ha, you guessed it. I have a crush on someone, and I have to marry him in this life, but unfortunately, now I have a little trouble and ask my cousin for help. ”
After she finished speaking, her eyes looked straight at Zhou Hexi, and Zhou Hexi also looked at her without saying a word, if it weren't for her rational pull, she couldn't wait to pick up the kettle and smash Nansheng's head into a big bag immediately! Damn, I've never seen someone robbing someone's husband and robbing someone so justifiably, shameless!
I remember the last time this girl came to Da Zhou, oh, she was just a county lord at the time, and she was called a gentle and virtuous lady, and her demeanor was not inferior to the noble girl in the capital, but in just a few months, she had changed to Si! Or is it that her old son and mother became the king, won the battle, and had enough confidence to support her true form?
Got the wrong person, right?
This is Big Week!
Can't be angry, can't be angry......
Zhou Hexi pressed and pressed the anger in his heart, and pressed for a long time, before he smiled calmly: "What the princess means is that you have fallen in love with His Royal Highness King Sheng, and you have to marry him, but King Sheng has already married me, and if the princess wants to marry him, I have to quit, is that what it means?" ”
"Cousin is smart."
"Thank you princess for the compliment, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't help with this favor."
"Why?" Princess Nansheng immediately turned her face, her eyes were burning and pressing, obviously, Zhou Hexi's answer was what she expected early on. A certain woman continued unhurriedly and said: "Because, you are ugly, your skin is not white, and your skeleton is big, you don't know the etiquette and behavior of our Da Zhou women, you are rude like a wild man, Xiao Yu said early in the morning, except for me, he can't look down on anyone, like a princess, in his eyes, maybe even Xiaobai in the backyard of King Sheng's mansion can't compare to it...... Oh, by the way, Xiaobai is a pig, and it will be slaughtered at the end of this year. ”
She was like a river, her expression was arrogant, and she watched the other party's angry appearance while talking, and slowly, most of the anger in her heart dissipated.
She didn't say anything more ugly, and she had already given Queen Xiliang all face.
"How dare you! How dare you humiliate this princess......" Nan Sheng trembled, she didn't expect this to happen, but she was angry and couldn't think of a word of counterattack.
Zhou Hexi got up suddenly, stood straight, raised his chin slightly, looked contemptuous, sneered, and said, "What kind of princess are you!" A woman who pays tribute to my Great Zhou every year, the daughter of the king of a small vassal country, also dares to run rampant at the feet of my son of heaven, shamelessly robs other people's husbands publicly, and does not arrest you and dip you in the pig cage, it has given you enough face for the queen, if you are interested, you will go back to Xiliang for me! ”
After throwing off the last sentence, she walked away, the angry Nan Sheng lifted the table, and when Zhou Hexi walked to the staircase, she could still hear the sound of clinking, she didn't blink her eyelids and told the shopkeeper Wang, "Calculate how many dishes she broke in total, and add a lot of money to the food money for me." ”
The shopkeeper Wang accidentally listened to it, and then guessed something about it, and when he heard this order, he said yes again and again.
Zhou Hexi returned to the lounge on the second floor of Zhou Ji Delicacies as quickly as possible, ordered Onyx to guard the door, and then quickly took out the mutton fat jade bottle, and left violently with an almost scorching heat, so that his skin felt better.
Inside, the fairy seedlings are surrounded by a black gas, from the root of the tree to the top of the tree, circle after circle, which is amazing. Needless to say, she was poisoned again.
Thinking about it carefully, she didn't eat Nansheng's food, and she didn't drink her water, where was the other party's poison?
After a while, the poisonous gas was gradually absorbed by the fairy seedlings, from thick black to wisps of green smoke, and it took about a quarter of an hour, just when she thought it was over, suddenly, several slender and slender black insects fell from the trees, and their bodies stiffened and fell to the ground.
Gu poison!
Damn vicious! If she dies, won't the seat be vacated......
Zhou Hexi clenched his fists.
However, just before she could figure out how to give Nan Sheng a heavy counterattack, an inexplicable rumor spread and quickly spread throughout the capital.
The rumor is very simple, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Yi'an, the current county lord of the two countries, Zhou Hexi, is actually a monster.
