Chapter 158: The Fox Chooses a Concubine
Ruxu had a gentle smile on his face, raised his crooked eyes to look at the thousand mist in the main hall, and walked towards him step by step. The beauties sitting on both sides looked at her without blinking, but Ruxu acted as if she hadn't seen it.
"Mother!" Peach Blossom immediately jumped out of Qianmist's arms and trotted towards Ruxu, who squatted down and hugged her with open arms.
"Are Peach Blossoms and Daddy well-behaved at home?" Ruxu touched her head.
"Peach Blossom is good!" The peach blossom bar kissed Ruxu and replied in a soft and glutinous voice.
After hearing what she said, Ruxu raised his head and looked at Qianwu with a smile, "What's the matter, why don't you speak?" ”
Chiki came back to her senses, got up and walked over, and held out her hand. Ruxu took his hand and stood up, pulling Peach Blossom to sit on the main seat together.
"I didn't expect this dress made for you to look so good......" Qianwu disguised himself as a gaffe.
Ruxu glanced at him, lowered his head and smiled shyly, "Thank you prince, the clothes that the prince chooses, the concubine body likes it very much." ”
Qianwu glanced at her deeply again, took her hand and held it, and then said with a smile in his phoenix eyes, "Yesterday, the envoy of Xifeng sent me ten beauties and asked me to choose a few to be concubines." You're coming back today, so why don't you help me take a look. ”
Ruxu nodded and looked at the beauties in the hall, "Since they are the beauties selected by Xifeng Kingdom, they are naturally all peerless beauties." No matter who you choose to stay, you will be your own sisters when you come to the palace, so you don't have to be stressed. ”
This remark is quite the tone of the master of the house, and everyone even thinks that although there is no princess in the palace, this lady's aura and posture are clearly the mistress of the family. Coupled with Qianwu's eyes looking at her and the small movements between the two, she was really envious of others.
At this time, Su Yu came in, "Lord Wang, the little prince of Qianyun is back." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qianyun coming in from outside the door, and he walked up to Qianwu and Ruxu without squinting and saluted, "Qianyun has seen uncle and aunt." ”
Boy is really good! As soon as he heard the title of "uncle", Ru Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart Qianyun's divine reaction.
The fog next to him glanced at him coldly, it wasn't that I said hello to Su Yu in advance, otherwise would Qianyun know what moths you made in the mansion!
"Brother Qianyun, Brother Qianyun!" As soon as Peach Blossom saw Qianyun, she shouted at him, and Qianyun smiled and squinted her eyes and said, "Do you want Peach Blossom to play with her brother?" ”
"Okay, okay!" Peach Blossom nodded.
Ruxu patted Peach Blossom's back, "Don't go to the backyard to play in the mud, I played in the mud last time." ”
"Okay mother, Peach Blossom remembers!" Peach Blossom's round eyes bent, and she smiled innocently.
Then Peach Blossom took Qianyun's hand, and the two siblings went to play together.
"First place, please." The misty man standing on the side shouted expressionlessly.
The first beauty wore an emerald green jacket and a white velvet cloak on the outside, and the girl behind her helped her up. She walked a few steps to Ruxu and Qianwu, and saluted, "Jin Miao, the daughter of Lord Zuofu of the slave family Xifeng Kingdom, has seen the prince and his wife. ”
"Do you have strengths?" If you soften your voice, it's very gentle.
"I don't dare to say my strengths, the slave family likes to stroke the piano and embroider when they have nothing to do on weekdays." Jin Miao lowered her head and spoke, her movements and postures were very decent.
"Okay, next." Ruxu said with a smile.
This kind of questioning was repeated by several people, and Xu found that these beauties all had their own strengths, some were good at equestrianism, archery, and some were good at poetry and chess. It seems that it is indeed carefully selected, and this Xifeng country is really well-intentioned.
Until the last beauty got up and walked over.
Her appearance is that of ten beauties, and her voice is gentle and distant, like the sound of playing a guqin in the empty mountains, "The slave family is Xie Min, the widow of the late King Lin of Xifeng Kingdom, and she is good at painting. ”
King Lin? Ruxu chuckled in his heart. This King Lin attempted to rebel nearly twenty years ago, and was beheaded by the king of Xifeng at that time, which is still a scar in Xifeng. How can this beauty still live unharmed, and even participated in the election?
"Your mother is the sister of the former Empress Nanchengguo?" Chiki asked.
"Yes." Xie Min replied.
Ruxu breathed a sigh of relief. It's no wonder that her mother is the sister of the former Empress of Nanchengguo, so she can naturally be pardoned. But she is too bold, no matter the high-ranking officials and royal families in the palace, even the low-level nobles, they will stay away from her, and will not take the initiative to contaminate her net worth background.
"Leave her alone." Qianwu looked at Ru Xu, and just after finishing speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his hand under his sleeve, and it turned out that Ru Xu secretly pinched him.
This is jealousy. He looked at Ruxu and couldn't hide a smile on his face.
Ruxu was a little worried and a little surprised, but she still responded with a smile.
The beauties' faces immediately changed, they didn't expect that such a broken widow would be hand-picked into the mansion by Prince Nan.
"The beauty of Jin is graceful, the beauty of Liu is weak and the willow supports the wind, and I wish the beauty a bold atmosphere...... Prince, the concubine body doesn't know how to choose, these nine sisters and concubines also like it tightly, or the prince sympathizes with me and is lonely in the palace, and all of them stay? "If Xu is unhappy in his heart, he will make a bad trick on a thousand fogs.
"So you're blaming me for not being with you and making you feel lonely?" Qianwu touched her chin and looked at her with a phoenix smile, "Then let's do it, I haven't been on leave with my father in the early court for half a month, so I'll stay in the mansion to accompany you?" ”
Ruxu felt funny when she heard it, but Qianwu looked at her extremely seriously.
"If the emperor knows about this, he can give you a charge of indulging in beauty and not doing a proper job!" Although he said this, Ruxu couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"It's not the first time." Chiki looked at her with a smile.
Ru Xu Wenyan glanced up at him, only to see his eyebrows and eyes crooked and smiling, with banter and sincerity in his eyes. Her heart beat wildly for no reason, just like the feeling she felt when she first saw Qianwu in the Joy Seeker.
Maybe at that time, she had already made a promise to him.
"Alright, just kidding." Ruxu came back to his senses, smiled and said to the leading grandmother, "Please go back and inform the envoy, just say that we left the Xie family, and the other beauties will be sent back." ”
Mama received the order and left the palace with a group of beauties.
"Lord Wang, since you have already chosen, then the concubine will go back to the room first, and let Sister Xie serve you." Ruxu glanced at Xie Min, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey......" Qianwu reached out and put his arm around her waist, "What's the hurry, there are some things you have to listen to." ”
Ruxu felt strange, and Qianwu pulled her to sit down.
Xie Min stood in front of the two of them, suddenly knelt down, stretched out his hand and folded it in front of his forehead, and prostrate down, "Xie Min, thank you for your help." ”
"Get up." Chiki smiled.
"What's going on?" Ruxu looked puzzled.
"I'm sure you're aware of that...... The true identity of Hua Yulou. Qianwu didn't say Xie Min, but talked about Huayulou, "Back then, King Xifenglin was beheaded by the whole house, and Huayulou was one of the ones who escaped from this disaster. Since escaping, he has been hunted down and killed until he escaped into the territory of Nancheng Kingdom. ”
"Even so, my father was invited by King Xifeng to order him to be found and arrested in Nanchengguo, and it has been nearly twenty years before it gradually fades into obscurity."
"So Hua Yulou is the son of King Lin?" Ruxu asked, and looked at Xie Min again, "That is, your half-brother?" ”
"At that time, she was not born yet, how did she know so much!" Qianwu couldn't help but knock on Ruxu's head, and looked at Xie Min again, "The first queen has been dead for many years, and the entire family has been ruined. The reason why Xie Min was arranged to enter the mansion was because her mother had died two years earlier, and it was difficult for her to support herself alone in Xifeng. ”
"Is it Hua Yulou who asked you?" Ruxu was knocked by him, and his brain finally regained its flexibility.
"Half and half." Qianwu smiled, "It is not only Hua Yulou's request, but also because Xie Min's mother used to be a good friend of my mother, and she was kind to my mother. In order to repay this favor, I also had to design and make it happen. ”
Ruxu looked at Xie Min again.
"Xie Min, thank you for your help!" Xie Min choked up when he spoke, but he still maintained everyone's beautiful posture, "After my mother died, we were completely ignored and abandoned. Not only was he suppressed by the king everywhere, but even the side branches were also down. On my own, it would be difficult to sustain itself. ”
"Don't worry, after a while, this king will arrange for you to meet your brother." After Qianwu finished speaking, he rubbed Ruxu's hand again and smiled, "It's making you jealous." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, why am I jealous?" Ruxu broke away from his hand, and ignored him in a negative spirit.
Qianwu smiled and pulled her hand over and held it in the palm of her hand, and looked at her carefully again, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble...... I thought you were ...... dressed today."
"Why? Think I'm a woman? Ruxu laughed.
Xie Min next to him heard the fog, and the fog quickly called Su Yu to take Xie Min down.
You should also pay attention to what you say, who is to blame if you accidentally expose it? I'm going to wipe your ass every time! Wu Miao shook her head helplessly, glanced at the two of them, and secretly left the main hall.
"By the way, I have one more question." Ruxu suddenly turned positive, "Did King Lin really rebel?" ”
"As far as I know, no." Qianwu shook his head, "At the beginning, the situation in Xifeng Country was complex and changeable, and many forces were mixed. As far as I know, King Lin was framed for rebellion. ”
"What does Hua Yulou say? Does he have any ideas...... "Ruxu is worried that Hua Yulou wants revenge."
"Nope. He has been secretly probing for many years, and things have begun to show some signs of things. There is a debtor and a debtor, and the culprit is the official of the year, that is, the two envoys who came to give gifts to their father a few days ago. Chiki looked at her.
"Then what do you mean......" Ruxu looked at Qianwu, who nodded at her.
"If the envoys of Xifeng die in Nanchengguo, will it cause contradictions between the two countries?" Ru Xu was shocked.
"I have my own way, you can watch with peace of mind, don't worry." Qianwu smiled and hugged her in his arms, "My Mr. Xu really makes my heart move...... Why don't I really go and take a leave of absence for my father and concentrate on staying with you for a while? ”
"It's almost the New Year." Ruxu was hugged by him, and he couldn't cry or laugh, "There are the most accidents at the end of the year, and our household department is also at its busiest, so you better take care of your business." ”
Chiki laughed a few times and let her go.
