It turns out that although this king of Chu is also one of the princes of the opposite sex, the reason why he was crowned king is very different.

King Xu is in charge of the border fortress and holds heavy troops, while the king of Chu is in the rich area of the south of the Yangtze River and holds the power of salt and iron, but this king of Chu does not have much interest in himself, but when the first emperor was killed, it was this king of Chu who rescued and saved the life of the first emperor, so he was named a prince with a different surname.

But because the reason for this prince to be crowned king is more peculiar, so after he was crowned king, the emperor did not let him go to the fiefdom, but let him stay in the capital, and the treatment of him was extremely generous.

"So that's the case, then in this way, this King of Chu, his luck is very good." Xu Lan said slowly.

Unexpectedly, when Baizhu heard this, he just pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Miss, don't look at this King of Chu, although he said that he saved the life of the first emperor, but he is not a good person, Miss, do you know that she has nine wives and concubines!" ”

"Nine?! Why are there so many wives and concubines? Even as an ordinary prince, these nine wives and concubines are really too much, right? Xu Lan couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

When Baizhu heard this, he continued: "It's not because none of the nine wives and concubines can give birth to a son. ”

It turned out that although the king of Chu said that he was very lucky, saved the emperor, and had the merit of saving the driver, so he was named the king with a different surname, but his heirs were extremely thin, with nine wives and concubines, but now the king of Chu has only one concubine under his knees, named Chu Wantian.

"It turned out to be this Chu Wantian, so why did she come to our house to live for a few days?" Xu Lan felt that she was just locked up in the ancestral hall for a morning, and the world seemed to have undergone a lot of changes, and she couldn't keep up with the rhythm a little.

It's just that Baizhu, who was still disdainful of the King of Chu just now, heard Xu Lan ask about this Chu Wantian, but he looked around, lowered his voice and said to Xu Lan: "Girl, you have to be careful of this Chu Wantian, because I heard that her reputation in the entire capital has always been very bad, and this person is extremely arrogant and domineering." Even if he says the wrong thing or does one wrong thing, as long as he offends her, there will be no good end, but the king of Chu loves this concubine very much, so for a while, the people in the capital are all shy away from him. ”

When Xu Lan heard Baizhu say this, it turned out that Chu Wantian's character couldn't help frowning.

"And just now the king of Chu came, the king of Chu said that her daughter was too bad-tempered, and she was put in our house to raise for a few days, and I want to say that the king of Chu is really good, and he can't control his own daughter, but let others take care of him, it's ridiculous!"

For some reason, although Xu Lan said that she was very happy to listen to these stories, she always felt that Baizhu hated that King Chu very much, so she couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Baizhu, how do I think you hate that King of Chu so much?" Could it be that there is no reason for this? ”

Baizhu heard Xu Lan say this, but he didn't continue, but said angrily: "Miss, if people tell you about business, you will make fun of others!" ”

Xu Lan couldn't help but smile, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she only heard Xu Lan say: "Forget it, that Chu Wantian, even if she is arrogant, she will restrain herself when she arrives at Xu Wangfu, no matter what, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it, don't worry." ”

Baizhu could only pout reluctantly, nodded, and said, "That's the only way, I hope." ”

After Xu Lan left the ancestral hall, King Xu looked at the thick pile of Buddhist scriptures on the table, but he also felt a little sorry for his daughter.

And after Xu Lan was imprisoned, Prince Xu thought carefully about the ins and outs of the entire early dynasty.

That Lord Shi Shi has always been extraordinarily fair and strict, iron-faced and selfless, and whenever he grasps a little mistake, he has to get to the bottom of it, but today he just distinguished a few words with the prince, and that Lord Shi actually turned the page lightly and quietly, and King Xu was nervous at that time, so he didn't pay attention to this detail, but then King Xu calmed down, but he also found something strange in it.

No matter what Xu Lan was doing at the Qianqiu Banquet last night, but thinking about it, Master Shi didn't grasp the conclusive evidence, just a little bit of chasing the wind.

Besides, Lan'er has always been well-behaved and sensible, maybe she really went back to look for the jade pendant last night, and she was all soldiers, and the rumors were loud.

Xu Wang, who figured it out like this, couldn't help but feel warmer when he saw the stack of Buddhist scriptures on the table, and he remembered that Xu Lan had fainted while kneeling in the snow before, and then he was locked up in the ancestral hall by himself, thinking that his health was not very good.

Thinking of this, King Xu beckoned a subordinate to come in and ordered: "Since the second lady has already left the ancestral hall, let's go and ask the imperial doctor again, take a good look at her body, don't catch a cold." ”

Within a day, the subordinate heard King Xu's two completely different commands, and his heart was even more surprised, but he didn't dare to look up, just bowed his head and retreated.

And Xu Lan, who returned to his yard, saw the imperial doctor assigned to him by his father, and his heart was naturally moved.

In the early morning of the second day, as Baizhu said yesterday, Chu Wantian, the concubine of the King of Chu, took a carriage early in the morning and came to the door of King Xu's mansion leisurely.

Because King Xu went to the early morning court, Princess Xu and Xu Zhen were sick in bed again, and Xu Xin was still in the palace and did not come back, so it could only be Xu Lan with a group of maids to greet Chu Wantian at the door.

Seeing the carriage coming, Xu Lan finally exhaled, after all, it was really cold to stand outside in winter.

I saw a Qianqian hand, a snow-like wrist, gently lifted the curtain of the carriage.

As soon as Xu Lan saw that hand, she secretly sighed, this woman must be a flower and a moon.

Sure enough, after the curtain was lifted, the face that was revealed was really a country and a city, and it was as beautiful as a flower. If it weren't for that face full of anger and impatience.

Xu Lan sighed secretly, it seems that this Chu girl is really unhappy in her heart, but I just hope she won't be angry with herself.

Thinking like this, Xu Lan stepped forward and said with a smile on her face: "But the Chu girl from the Chu Palace? ”

I saw the woman sitting in the carriage, looking at Xu Lan condescendingly, and after a long while, I only heard a clear but arrogant voice sound: "Who are you?" ”

Seeing her so arrogant and rude inquiry, Xu Lan just smiled and said, "I am the second girl from King Xu's Mansion, and I came to greet Miss Chu this morning." ”

"Second Miss Xu? Could it be that stupid concubine? "Rao is Xu Lan's good temper, and it is the first time I have seen someone say bad things about people so bluntly and lose face.

Xu Lan couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, she didn't come back to her senses for a while, so she could only hear Chu Wantian and continued: "This Xu Wangfu is too deceitful, isn't it, the whole mansion actually let a concubine come to greet me, it's really ridiculous, is there no one in the palace?" ”

Her words were really hurtful, Xu Lan couldn't help but take a deep breath, pressed the angry Baizhu and Baiqi next to her, still with a smile on her face, and said with a reluctant smile: "Miss Chu, my father is in the Shang Dynasty, my mother and younger brother are sick in bed, and my sister is still in the palace. ”

Looking at Chu Wantian's appearance, it seemed that her anger had increased again, she originally wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, someone in the carriage seemed to pull him, Chu Wantian turned his head and glanced at the people in the carriage, and could only swallow a breath of hatred, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, even if it's a little concubine, but it's just a matter of having this intention." ”

Saying that, Chu Wantian looked up with a stinky face, jumped out of the carriage, and walked straight into King Xu's mansion regardless of Xu Lan.

"Miss, look at this man, what kind of attitude does he have! It's the first time I've seen such a vulgar and rude person since I came to the capital! After all, the first one around him couldn't hold his breath first, and when he saw Chu Wantian seeing no one in his eyes, he walked straight into King Xu's mansion, and couldn't help but say to Xu Lan with hatred.

Xu Lan was not angry in her heart, but she thought of her father's instructions to treat this Chu girl well, Xu Lan could only smile and say: "That's it, she is still young, but she has some bad temper, I am a few years older than him, tolerate her more, and after a few days she returns to Chu Mansion, she will naturally be fine." ”

Bai Zhu and Bai Qi naturally knew that what Xu Lan said made sense, so they could only stomp their feet resentfully.

It's just that Chu Wantian's behavior is really difficult to have a good impression of him, Xu Lan no longer talks to her well after sticking her cold ass with a hot face a few times, but she still maintains basic politeness on her face.

However, judging from the appearance of Chu Wan who was unpresented, she probably didn't notice the changes in Xu Lan, after all, in her eyes, Xu Lan was just a humble concubine, and she was not qualified to talk to her concubine at all.

I saw that Chu Wan was domineering, and after entering the Xu Wangfu, he first walked around the garden of the Xu Wangfu in a big way, and then said to Xu Lan arrogantly: "Hey, where is my house?" ”

Xu Lan didn't want to get along with her more, so she just said in a good voice: "Miss Chu, your house is in the guest room of the East Wing, it has been cleaned up, and Miss Chu can move in at any time." ”

Xu Lan thought that she was already kind to that Chu girl, and she was benevolent and righteous. She originally thought that after Chu Wantian asked where the housing was, she would live in it by herself and no longer come out to disturb others.

Unexpectedly, that Chu Wan heard that he was in the guest room of the East Wing, but he frowned and said, "I am the concubine of the dignified King of Chu, and I came to King Xu's Mansion as a guest, and you actually let me live in the guest room?" ”
