414 Cherish the time
Prince's Mansion
Hua Xiangxuan finished dinner and flipped through the text in the study. He went to Nanqi and brought back not only this copy of "Zhao Jin's Changing Texts", but also a few Zhao Jin's ink treasures. Hua Xiangxuan was particularly interested in Zhao Jin and Zhao Jin's three brothers, especially after hearing that the three Zhao Sheng brothers had returned to the court, Hua Xiangxuan wanted to know more about them.
Hua Xiangxuan has read "Zhao Jin's Changing Text" three or five times, and he can repeat some passages.
The cicadas outside the window gradually faded, the clear night breeze slowly blew into the house, and the candle flame swayed, just like Hua Xiangxuan's mood at this time.
"Your Highness, the people have arrived." Ding Neishou whispered outside. People refer to the envoys of Xichen who Hua Xiangxuan has been waiting for.
Hua Xiangxuan's spirit was lifted, "Please let him in." ”
The sound of small footsteps sounded, and two people came in one after the other. They were dressed in lotus coats, and their hoods were buttoned up on their heads. Even if the hood covered her face, Hua Xiangxuan could feel the evil aura of the boss in front of her through the black satin lotus cloak. He is known as the ghost of Xichen. The one who followed behind He Zhen was slender and short, and she should be a girl.
He would never bring irrelevant people to him. Hua Xiangxuan thought about retracting her gaze and focused all her attention on He Zhenxuan. There are many rumors among the people about the ghosts of Xichen to distinguish what is going on. It is said that with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he can say that the dead are alive, and the demons are dead.
Hua Xiangxuan has always scoffed at such remarks. If it is said that He Qian's most unique ability is to be willing to be driven by Tianminu.
What is the point of walking around a woman's skirt all day long? Hua Xiangxuan despised He Yiyi in her heart, and she didn't show it on her face. He respectfully called out, "Mr. He." ”
He raised his hand to take off the hood, revealing a plain-looking face. But his aura was also intensified by the lack of a hood to cover him. Hua Xiangxuan's heart was shocked, and the smile on her face was even worse.
He Zhen bowed slightly, and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
When the two met for the first time, they naturally wouldn't be too enthusiastic.
"This is Xia Xishi, Xia Xiaoniang." When He Yiyi introduced Hua Xiangxuan, Xia Xishi took off his hood, revealing a face that made Hua Xiangxuan's heart flutter.
When she looked at Hua Xiangxuan in a daze, she thought it was Xie Yushu, and she looked at it attentively, and it was not difficult to find that Xia Xishi did not have the agility in Xie Yushu's eyes, and her facial features were not as delicate as her. Rao is like this, Hua Xiangxuan is still very surprised.
Xia Xishi bent his knees and bowed down to Hua Xiangxuan, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I regretted it." The voice is soft and beautiful, and the flirtatious Hua Xiangxuan is itchy and unbearable. He hurriedly stepped forward, holding Xia Xishi's arms with both hands, the tentacles were soft, Hua Xiangxuan suddenly felt hot and dry, he was patient, and said slowly: "Xia Niangzi doesn't need to be polite." ”
Xia Xishi's cheeks were red, his head drooped slightly, his red lips were slightly open, and he wanted to say it without saying it, and his appearance of wanting to speak became more and more moving.
The candle flame is dim, and the beauty under the lamp is like a fairy in the moon palace, curling and long, like a dream.
Hua Xiangxuan's palms were dripping with beads of sweat, the clothes were light, Xia Xishi suddenly realized that she and Hua Xiangxuan's behavior was too intimate, and she frowned, like a frightened finch, and hurriedly jumped away.
The fragrant skin suddenly took off, and Hua Xiangxuan couldn't help but sigh softly.
He was very satisfied with Hua Xiangxuan's reaction. He turned around and pointed at Xia Xi with his hand, and said, "Xia Niangzi is deeply favored by the saint, and I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to treat Xia Niangzi well in the future." ”
Hearing this, Hua Xiangxuan laughed heartily, waved her hand, and asked Ding Nei to take Xia Xishi down to bathe and change clothes.
As soon as Xia Xishi left, the ambiguity that was floating in the air gradually withdrew. In its place, it is dignified and serious.
He Zhenyi sat opposite Hua Xiangxuan, and said straight to the point: "This time, Xi Chen took advantage of the matter of Donggu, and I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to say a few kind words in front of His Majesty. ”
Hua Xiangxuan put on a cynical look, raised her eyebrows, and said, "The saint sent me a beauty, and I want to cross the East Valley?" I want to do it without the cost of buying and selling. ”
He was so happy," His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile. Xia Niangzi was not sent to His Royal Highness by the Holy Maiden, but temporarily lived in the Prince's Mansion. After conquering the Southern Qi Dynasty, Xia Niangzi was going to return to Xichen to serve the saint. ”
Hua Xiang Xuan's color is stagnant.
Since he was well versed in personnel affairs, he was bent on currying favor with his courtiers or wealthy businessmen, and countless beauties were sent. But none of them were sent back or back. Or is it called "temporary residence"?
That's kind of interesting.
Hua Xiangxuan snorted coldly: "Since she has entered my prince's mansion, unless I am tired of playing, or she is dead, she will never be allowed to leave." ”
He Yi's eyes showed a sparkling smile, "Your Highness is not impatient, and listen to me carefully." First of all, I also said that Xia Niangzi has a face in front of the saint, and she must be going back to Xichen......"
Hua Xiangxuan opened her mouth to refute, but He Yiyi raised his hand to signal him to be patient.
"The Holy Maiden will exchange the three cities of Southern Qi for Xia Niangzi. These three cities belonged to the crown prince alone. The conditions offered by He Heyuan are extremely tempting, but Hua Xiangxuan will not be at his mercy.
"Joke! Is one handmaid worth three cities? When the saint turns her face and denies it, who will I complain to? ”
A moment ago, she kept saying that Xia Niangzi was not allowed to leave Hua Xiangxuan, who was in the prince's mansion, lest the saint would not hold three cities to redeem her.
"Your Highness, don't worry, is the Holy Maiden the villain who is waiting to rebel?"
"The saint is not a villain, but I have to be capricious." Hua Xiangxuan hugged her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Three cities are too few. The cities along the Cangshui River in the Southern Qi Dynasty are all owned by me, how about it? ”
There are a total of 12 large and small cities along the Cangshui River. And because of the geographical advantage, it is rich and abundant.
He Zhen's face was embarrassed, and the evil qi of his body was a little more restrained.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is opening his mouth to all the cities along the Cangshui River, I can't make the decision for such a big thing."
"The Holy Maiden has sent you to have full power in your hands. Mr. He, if you delay me for a day, my father will also delay for a day. If it drags on for a long time, Nanqi is ready to fight, and you won't be caught off guard if you don't want to kill him. ”
Hua Xiangxuan has Hua Xiangxuan's plan. He wanted to take this opportunity to consume the forces of Nanqi and Xichen. As the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind. No matter which side of Southern Qi or Western Chen wins, it will be Donggu who will benefit in the end. He bargained with He Zhen, also to let Xi Chen relax his guard.
The purpose of He He's coming here is to facilitate this matter, and no matter what conditions Hua Xiangxuan proposes, he will agree. Because this time the West Chen Zhi is not in the Southern Qi, but in the Eastern Valley.
The East Valley is located in the middle of the Southern Qi and Western Chen. If you want to attack Southern Qi, you must pass through the East Valley. However, from Xichen all the way to Kyoto in Southern Qi, it would be a protracted war. How the grain and grass can arrive safely is a headache. Moreover, Southern Qi was too far away from Xichen, and even if it was captured, it would be difficult to control. Donggu is different, Donggu and Xichen have a long border along the line, and the people of the two countries not only communicate with each other, but also intermarry not a few. Once Donggu returns to Xichen, the inseparable kinship will also make the people of the two countries quickly merge together.
Compared with the Southern Qi Dynasty, Donggu is a delicious piece of fragrant meat. Xi Chen had wanted to swallow this piece of fragrant meat for a long time.
