Chapter 239: Chu Xiao
The fact that the old emperor was going to hold a birthday banquet for the queen was now known to almost the entire domain dynasty.
And none of the four princes who received the invitation planned to go to the capital in person.
It's just that before the skin is torn, the face that everyone should give and the effort that should be done must be missing.
However, this birthday banquet was clearly a Hongmen banquet, and several princes naturally couldn't send people close to them like before, but each found a few side branches that were not far away.
The King of Xining is more important than the others, and he actually plans to send the princess's own nephew, Chu Xiao.
As the son-in-law of the Chu family, Chu Xiao is a real blood relative of the Xining Palace.
"Chu Xiao is too noisy, I'm afraid that if he goes to the capital, the old guy won't find him, and he will have to cause trouble himself."
When it came to her nephew, the princess did not hide her disgust in her eyes.
This nephew, who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and does everything, is a complete gentleman.
Sending Chu Xiao to the capital for a banquet, she originally wanted to let the other party suffer a danger and have a long memory.
But when you think of the other party's style, don't go back forever, and then your brother won't be distressed to death?
In addition, King Cheng'an issued such an invitation at this time, she still changed her mind, it is safer to go to Lingnan than to go to the capital.
What kind of character Zhao Gaowei is, both of them know it in their hearts.
Even if the other party really has the guts, he dares to be unfavorable to his nephew.
Don't forget, the closest to Lingnan is Xining County, and the other party has to weigh it.
Princess Xining was originally from a military general family, her father was a general who fought on the battlefield, and her brother was also a military general.
In Xining County, the king of Xining had already secretly raised a lot of soldiers and horses, waiting for the opportunity to win the throne in one fell swoop.
Although the king of Xining has a simple brain, the princess is not a simple character, and she grasps both inside and outside.
For his own princess, the king of Xining was stunned, and almost let it go.
"Then, according to what the princess said, arrange for Chu Xiao to go to Lingnan to visit King Cheng'an."
This matter was decided, and as for the candidates to go to the capital, it is easy to say.
There are too many side branches that are not important, so just take one out and add a flower name, and you can perfunctory it.
Chu Xiao was dragged out of the Qinglou by his subordinates, and when he was stuffed into the soft soft sedan chair, he was still groggy and asleep.
It wasn't until he was transferred into the carriage that the bumpy feeling made him dizzy and excited that he wanted to vomit, and then he slowly woke up.
"Stop!"
After shouting, the coachman outside the door quickly tightened the rope in his hand and stopped the carriage steadily.
Chu Xiao couldn't wait, he directly opened the door curtain and vomited outside.
He drank a lot of wine last night, and this time he vomited it all.
"Young master, wipe your mouth."
Immediately, a little guy ran over from other carriages and waited carefully for this boy.
Opening his staring eyes, Chu Xiao looked at the unfamiliar scenery around him, and looked at the little guy next to him with a displeased expression.
"Where is this? Isn't this young master in the building?!"
"Young master, the princess has given an order for you to visit King Cheng'an in Lingnan. Things were in such a hurry that seeing that you had never woken up from drinking, the master was angry and stuffed you straight into the carriage and hurried."
The little guy quickly explained, and his face was full of flattering smiles.
Hearing this, Chu Xiao immediately exploded and roared angrily:
"Didn't you say that Young Master Ben should go to the capital?! Why did you change to Lingnan again?! That kind of barren land, this young master won't go! Hurry back!"
With that, he also commanded the groom.
But Mafuse flinched, but did not make any U-turn.
Just as Chu Xiao was about to get angry again, the little guy spoke again.
"Young master, old man, the old man said that if you can't do your errand this time, you won't ...... Don't let it
You have stepped into Xining County for half a step......
The more the little guy spoke, the more silent he became, staring at Chu Xiao's expression in horror.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Chu Xiao kicked him viciously, as if to express the anger in his heart.
It's a pity, perhaps because he drank too much wine, and because he vomited a lot just now, his foot not only didn't kick the little guy, but also accidentally kicked the carriage.
The severe pain made Chu Xiao scream, and several subordinates looked at each other, and hurriedly got up to find ointment for their young master.
After a long period of chaos, Chu Xiao realized the reality, and lay weakly in his carriage, letting the body jolt.
Because of his father's majesty, even if he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he could only recognize the reality.
The current head of the Chu family is Chu Xiao's father, that is, the brother of Princess Xining, a military general who has been on the battlefield.
It is precisely because of such a strong support from the Yue family that the king of Xining will present a situation with other princes. Otherwise, with his brain, it is estimated that the current fate is worse than Zhao Gaowei.
Zhao Gaowei is at least a person with a city government, knows how to respect the small and cautious, and obtains his own place from other princes. And the king of Xining is a pure man with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.
Fortunately, the princess Chu has a brain, and when she saw that the old emperor who was the eldest prince was powerful, her husband had little chance of winning, so she hurriedly saved her strength and ran to the fiefdom in advance.
Over the years, relying on the natural advantages of Xining County, he has pretended to be backward, but in fact, he has been recuperating and waiting for an opportunity.
The news of Chu Xiao's arrival on the road soon spread to Lingnan.
King Cheng'an, who heard the news, was quite surprised, he thought that his letter was sent over, even if King Xining agreed to save face, he just sent a small clan relative to come over and go through the motions.
I didn't expect the other party to be so generous and send Princess Xining's own nephew.
For Chu Xiao, Zhao Gaowei had some impressions, and the background information of the other party was also sent along with the letter.
"In addition to his identity, this Chu Xiao is really the best choice."
Xie Yunshu, who was called to share the news, raised his eyebrows slightly, and he couldn't tell whether it was affirmative or negative in his tone.
Zhao Gaowei was also a little entangled, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
According to their initial plan, the king of Xining sent a small clan to come over, which was just enough to complete the last link of their game.
can be replaced by Chu Xiao, his status is too high, even if the thing is successful, it is not necessarily happy or sad.
If this causes the opposite effect, then isn't he just lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot?
Seeing the hesitant look in Zhao Gaowei's eyes, Xie Yunshu raised his eyes and said:
"This matter is not in a hurry, Lord Wang, let's wait for that Chu Gongzi to arrive."
According to the intelligence, this Chu Xiao is an out-and-out gentleman, arrogant and extravagant, and his father and Princess Xining can control it.
After the other party arrives in Lingnan, it will naturally be clear, and it will not be too late to make a decision when the time comes.
Their plans don't necessarily have to choose each other, do they?
Zhao Gaowei nodded, for the sake of the future, this is the only way.
Zhao Yunqing didn't know that there was an invisible net trapping her, and she was sulking in her yard.
"What Fu Ru'an! It's not uncommon for this county lord to stick a hot face to his cold ass!"
Pulling the petals of the flower in her hand hard, she seemed to regard the flower as Fu Ru'an, venting the anger in her heart.
Zhao Yunqing didn't want to marry Fu Ru'an in the first place, but after what happened yesterday, she didn't want to contribute to this matter even more.
Compared with the calm and elegant Xie Yunshu, Fu Ruan's image is getting worse and worse in her heart.
Hearing her broken thoughts, Xiaoqin's eyes rolled, and she deliberately asked in a low voice:
"County Lord, don't you like Mr. Fu? Why do you want to get close to Fu Ru'an's son?"
She pretended not to know that Zhao Yunqing was going to marry Fu Ru'an, so as to trick the other party's words.
Zhao Yunqing looked up and saw that it was Xiaoqin, which was originally swallowed back into her stomach
The complaint in the son couldn't help but come out again.
"Where is this where the county lord wants to get close?! Not my father yet! Hmph, how good is Mr. Fu? Erudite and extremely handsome, that Fu Ru'an only smells of copper, and he dares to lose the face of the county lord!"
In comparison, she was even more dissatisfied.
Hearing her say this, Xiaoqin recalled that Zhao Gaowei had explained that she must prevent the other party from contacting Fu Ru'an.
"Yes, our Mr. Fu is extremely good, and several little maids in the house can't help but be tempted."
"What kind of goods are they?! He also deserves to fight with the lord of this county?!"
Zhao Yunqing slapped the flower on the table fiercely, and a small floating flower was left at this time.
Seeing that she had caught the other party's thoughts, Xiaoqin hurriedly smiled and comforted:
"Yes, yes, yes! County Lord, how can those little girls compare with you? However, at the moment, Mr. Fu has a wife, and you have a slim chance."
After saying that, she also pretended to sigh regretfully.
Sure enough, hearing this, Zhao Yunqing rose up again and gritted his teeth.
Ye Hao has always been a thorn between her and Xie Yunshu, if she doesn't remove it, then she will have to honestly accept her father's arrangement and marry Fu Ru'an.
This will not work!
"You, what do you have a good idea? Get rid of that Yezhen! Or let Mr. Fu be happy with the county lord! As long as it is done, the lord of this county will be greatly rewarded, and I will guarantee that all your requirements will be met!"
Zhao Yunqing pondered for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a way.
She turned her gaze to Xiaoqin beside her, and began to promise heavy profits, wanting the other party to help her come up with ideas.
As far as this matter is concerned, she trusts Xiaoqin more than her maid Xiaoyan.
Having said this, Xiaoqin first pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated a few times, and after getting the other party's urging, she opened her mouth a little unspeakably.
"I want the slave to say, since this matter is difficult to achieve, then you might as well go off the beaten path with your sword and cook raw rice directly!"
"Raw rice cooked rice?!"
Zhao Yunqing didn't react to these words for a while, and looked at the other party in a daze.
Nodding, Xiaoqin lowered her voice again.
"If you and Mr. Fu have a skin-to-skin relationship, then with your identity, the prince will definitely have to give an explanation! At that time, it must be Mr. Fu who divorces his wife and marries you, or demotes Ye Zhen to a concubine and then marries you as the main room. No matter how you say it, you are the lord of the county, and you will never be inferior to a commoner!"
At first glance, Zhao Yunqing's heart was full of rejection, no matter how willful and reckless she was, it was impossible for her to gamble her innocence.
In such an era, a woman's innocence is comparable to life.
If this doesn't work out, then she won't be able to live shamelessly.
Seeing that Zhao Yunqing's face was full of rejection, Xiaoqin did not rush to continue to persuade, but smiled wryly.
"The slave knows that this idea is not safe, so you will treat it as if the slave and maid did not say it."
After speaking, she quickly shut up, as if she didn't dare to mention it again.
It was her appearance that made Zhao Yunqing's heart move, and she began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
In fact, the current situation is very serious for her.
King Ruixian urged her to take down Fu Ru'an and let her marry into the Fu family. Here, Xie Yunshu has always been lukewarm to himself, and he has no chance at all.
If you don't go off the rails, it seems that you have only the only choice to marry Fu Ru'an.
