Chapter 706: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The first day of the competition is finally over.
Not to mention that the more than 60 candidates who won in the end were so excited that they couldn't even sleep tonight, and they couldn't put down the gifts given by the princess one by one, and the most proud of them was Xiao Tianci.
For him, other competitors are just grass mustard, in terms of identity, physiognomy, and conversation, which one can compare to him? Not to mention anything else, the princess recruits relatives, he only shows the identity of a prince, which is enough to kill everyone in seconds.
Those sixty people were just stepping stones for him, and they had no effect except to prove that he was one in a hundred.
"The dragon and phoenix among the three princes are indescribably expensive, and it is inevitable that they will win, otherwise how could His Majesty Xichu personally speak! It can be seen that the demeanor of the third prince even His Majesty Xichu was impressed. In the quiet backyard of an inn, the henchman patted the horse and flattered, saying that Xiao Tianci was triumphant and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"If this palace can become a concubine, not only will you get a beautiful princess, but also solve your worries, it is really a double win, killing two birds with one stone! Wonderful, wonderful! The person next to him is a confidant who has followed Xiao Tianci for seven or eight years, and the hidden diseases on his body are naturally not hidden, and he speaks casually.
"Congratulations to the third son, congratulations to the third son!"
The henchman immediately poured Xiao Tianci a glass of wine and said, "Now the whole capital is rumored that the third prince will win!" The other candidates are not the opponents of the third prince at all, and tomorrow's second round of competition will let them know more about the strength of the third prince! However, the third prince still remembers that Huang Guan and Huang Xiucai, right? ”
Xiao Tianci raised his face, his eyes looked directly at the sky, picked up the wine glass and hummed: "Huang Xiucai, who is it?" ”
"It's the original owner of Childe who bought this certificate!"
Frowning, Xiao Tianci's tone was impatient: "It turned out to be him...... What's the matter, what's wrong with this Huang Xiucai? ”
Hearing Xiao Tianci's bad tone, his henchman lowered his voice and said: "The subordinates are afraid that Huang Xiucai will ruin the good deeds of the third son, so they tied him up, and he talked nonsense everywhere in the province." ”
"Hehe, you kid is still smart, not bad!" Xiao Tianci smiled, very satisfied.
The henchman was a bunch of pleasing words, and as he was talking, there was a sound of close footsteps outside, and a solemn voice sounded: "Third brother, you can make me look for a lot of pain!" ”
"Big brother!"
As soon as Xiao Tianci heard the voice, he stood up with a wine glass happily, but when he looked for the sound, he saw Xiao Yuqi coming with his hands in his hands, his face was gloomy, and his cloudy face was filled with indescribable depression, which suddenly made his heart chuckle.
"Big, big brother, what's wrong with you, I, I'm not doing anything......" Xiao Tianci immediately stammered.
"Still saying nothing? You're going to hide it from me by this time? ”
The angry words came out of Xiao Yuqi's mouth, and his sharp gaze was like a knife staring at Xiao Tianci's body, revealing a kingly aura all over his body, like a boulder, which made the latter's heart beat like a drum, and he didn't dare to come out.
Usually I was afraid of this eldest brother of the prince, but Xiao Tianci knew what he had done, where did he still get angry? At the moment, his face was scornful, he put down the wine glass and strode over, and said with a look of admitting his mistake and repentance: "Big brother, don't be angry, I really didn't do anything, but, it's just...... Hehe, I just went to play a little bit......"
"You still say!"
Xiao Tianci flicked his sleeves, glared at him angrily and said: "Just now on the high platform where the third princess of Western Chu recruited relatives to choose a concubine, who stood proudly, and finally got the words of Emperor Xichu to pass directly?" Who is in the limelight and attracts everyone in the capital of Western Chu now? Now you still pretend not to know, if you really can't end it, you will know that you regret it? ”
Like a blow to the head, Xiao Tianci had never seen his eldest brother speak in such a stern tone, and was stunned: "Big brother, big brother!" I really don't have much, but I'm just going to recruit relatives, didn't the third princess choose a concubine, am I not worthy of her third brother? There won't be any problems, right? ”
Knowing that this younger brother doesn't think about anything, he does things all by temperament, Xiao Yuqi hates that iron is not steel, and he can understand his father's feelings more and more, and said angrily with a straight face: "I don't know if there is a problem now, but I only know that if you are really selected to be a colt, then there must be a problem!" ”
"Huh? What's the problem? Xiao Tianci was stunned.
With a cold smile, Xiao Yuqi stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes and didn't say a word. This kind of silent warning is more effective than any words, Xiao Tianci was furious by him, and he became more and more uneasy, and couldn't help but become anxious: "Big brother, big brother, don't scare me, just say anything!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... The third prince is just impulsive, so don't be angry. The henchmen also hurriedly came to persuade him.
"Shut up! It's all you minions, and you don't know how to stop the master, and if something happens, you will all lose your head one by one! Get down! Xiao Yuqi was furious, he didn't know who his third brother was following!
This time he came to Xichu, he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, although it seemed that there was no specific affairs, but to observe and figure out the intentions and movements of the Xichu royal family, and to make decisions, we must start from various details, and we must not be negligent at all. Otherwise, once he makes a mistake in judgment and loses the opportunity, it will be a thousand miles away from his Dongwan's future, and it will be an absolute disaster!
Thinking that she had a relationship with Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu, and that she had made some efforts when she returned to China, Xiao Yuqi wanted to take the opportunity to ask for a favor and let her cure Xiao Tianci's hidden disease. In this way, he thanked him again, prepared a thin gift to get closer to the relationship, and then he was free to speak.
Who knew that he, the third emperor brother who was not successful, would make his own decision and make such a fuss!
"Big brother, don't be angry, I'm also thinking about you!"
Seeing that Xiao Yuqi was angry, Xiao Tianci rolled his eyes, pulled him into the pavilion and sat down, and then drank his subordinates, and then said with a smile: "I know the problems on my body, who doesn't want to be cured quickly?" But how can men be embarrassed on this side......"
He smiled and continued with a little embarrassment: "If you let the eldest brother worry about the younger brother, then it should be even more undeserved, and let the eldest brother beg a woman for my business, then the younger brother will not have face!" So I was impulsive, so I went to participate in this recruitment, in fact, I don't lose anything, I can choose if I can, or if I can't, anyway, others don't know my identity......"
As he spoke, he explained the reason again, and then took out the candidate certificate to show Xiao Yuqi, saying that he was replacing the identity of a Xiucai named Huang Guan, at most, Emperor Xichu saw his identity, and those ordinary people would not know.
At that time, Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu, was naturally present, she would not lose her eyes, and she would not forget the fact that she had treated him for a hidden disease. But she is a woman, how can a man's privacy be good for outsiders, isn't she shameless and doesn't talk about medical ethics?
Looking at Xiao Tianci's serious appearance, unlike pretending, Xiao Yuqi also eased up a little and sighed: "So, you mean, if you really choose a concubine, when the time comes, you will show some news to Princess Chu and let her know your situation, and then you will naturally tell Emperor Western Chu, and then it will be a matter of course, and you don't need to ask for it?" ”
"Hehe, the eldest brother is really my eldest brother, you can know my mind as soon as you guess."
Xiao Tianci said with a smile: "Big brother said that my method is good?" Wouldn't it be a double win to solve the hidden danger without having to ask for the woman? When the time comes, at most, I'll send someone to send more gifts to thank her, and that's it! ”
"If all goes well, what if......"
"There is no whatever, so many whatever!"
Xiao Tianci became impatient: "Big brother, why are you mother-in-law, still afraid of a woman?" Don't be discouraged by others and destroy your own prestige! That Princess Chu has good medical skills, but she is just a woman, and we haven't harmed her interests, what else should she do? ”
As soon as he thought of Luo Qingluan's shrewdness, Xiao Yuqi was a little dignified.
Now that he doesn't do it, he has done it, Xiao Tianci has taken the lead without authorization, and has replaced other people's quotas to recruit relatives, even Emperor Xichu has found out, and now he wants to return it, but I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary speculation! can continue, if it doesn't work, he will fail to recruit relatives of the three princes of Dongwan Kingdom, but I am afraid that it will be a joke if it is passed out, if it succeeds......
That's even more serious, offending Luo Qingluan!
If this shrewd and clever woman knew that she had fallen for Xiao Tianci and was calculated by him, would she be able to give up? Even if he came forward to intercede and eliminate Luo Qingluan's dissatisfaction, what about King Chu? What about the man behind her!
Can you tolerate your own woman being calculated by other men?
The former king of Chu, Nalan Night, almost forced the first emperor of Western Chu to death because of Luo Qingluan's anger, and this matter spread all over the world! Even if he is the prince of Dongwan, he has to be afraid of three points!
"Big brother, what are you worried about, isn't it just a trivial matter?"
Seeing that Xiao Yuqi was hesitant and didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Tianci said indifferently: "Don't worry, I will definitely not mess around this time, this is a big matter for the younger brother, if I can marry the princess of Xichu, it will also be a good thing for me Dongwan, and it will be solved...... Hehe, if you solve my problem, you won't think so much! ”
After some persuasion and lobbying, Xiao Tianci used his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and Xiao Yuqi, who finally spoke, nodded and agreed with him to continue. At that moment, he happily took out the personal information about Nangong Wan'er that he had bought in his arms, and went into the house to study.
Xiao Yuqi sat alone in the gazebo, with a hidden uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't grasp what it was, so he could only think about it for the time being.
At the same time, the Western Chu Palace, in the warm pavilion.
Nangong Wan'er, who was still smiling like a spring breeze before, had a cold face at this time, standing in front of Nangong Qing, soft like a gust of cold wind. Without the slightest smile, as if she remembered what happened just now, she frowned, silent, waiting for Nangong Qing to explain to her.
Nangong Qing said that after the first day of recruitment, he would tell her the reason.
Why did that hateful stinky man, a Xiucai surnamed Huang or something, be so rude to her, not only did her imperial brother not punish her, but he actually let her pass this person and make it a key object of observation. Hehe, if she doesn't give a reason, she will definitely not give up!
"Wan'er, aren't you happy?" Nangong Qing let out a voice and smiled slightly.
Nangong Wan'er didn't speak, only lowered her head, looking quiet and obedient, but expressed her dissatisfaction with silence.
"Look at you, you're really angry, do you think the imperial brother will hurt you?" Naturally knows Nangong Wan'er's thoughts, Nangong Qing also knows that she has been wronged today, according to her previous temperament, she can endure this breath, her temper has been restrained a lot, and she is willing to be obedient and openly choose a horse, after all, she has changed a lot.
Thinking of this, Nangong Qing's heart softened a little, and said softly: "Brother Huang knows that you are unhappy, but it is indeed for your good." Don't move the man, do you know why? ”
As soon as a certain eye was raised, Nangong Wan'er said lightly: "Why?" ”
"Because, the real identity of that Xiucai named Huang Guan is the third prince of Dongwan - Xiao Tianci!"
