Chapter 178: Fair Competition?

The round tower wine shop in Henghe Pavilion seems to be glowing during the day, and it is as dazzling as a real pearl at night.

The glazed lanterns under the eaves are lit, and the whole wine shop is dreamlike and colorful.

Whether you stand on the shore and watch, or walk in and sit down, it is like being in a fairyland.

In a short time, the table in front of the two of them was filled with several delicacies and wines.

Fan Madness picked up the flask and poured himself a full glass of wine.

He raised his wine glass and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Mobei, this cup is for your brother!"

Seeing this, Zhan Mobei hurriedly poured a full bottle of wine and raised his glass, "Brother Fan, I should respect you." These days are thanks to your careful care of the Young."

The corners of Fan Mad's mouth hooked, and he raised his head and drank it all.

A wisp of sake flowed down the corner of his mouth, he wiped it away gently, and said helplessly:

"She saved me, and she's a benefactor to me."

"Brother Fan, when I came here today, I heard you say that you want to take her back to Bomi. I would like to ask for Xi Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Fan Mad guessed that Zhan Mobei would definitely ask this question, and he didn't intend to hide his liking for Gao Xichen.

"Since you and I are brothers of the opposite sex, the brother will tell you the truth. In fact, from the first time I saw Mrs. Gao, I felt that this woman was very different."

"But before I could get to know her too much, she was seriously injured trying to save me. Maybe from the moment she went out of her way to save me, I fell in love with her."

"During this time, I took good care of her, not only out of gratitude, but also because I had a personal affection for her. If I could, I would like to take her back with me. But I know very well that she won't come with me."

Fan Mad took another sip of wine, and the smile in the corner of his eyes was gone.

"Why are you so sure?".

"Because she'...... Like you. No matter how carefully I take care of you, I can't meet you. She is detached and polite when she is with me, but she is casual and friendly when she is with you. That's the difference between liking and disliking. I thought you and my brother were fair play, but in fact, there is no fairness between you and me."

"Brother Fan......"

"Mobei, you don't have to feel embarrassed. You and Mrs. Gao are both my saviors, and I will not be ungrateful because you and Mrs. Gao are in love. In the future, you and I will still be brothers in life and death."

"Is Brother Fan going to give up Xi Chen?"

"No, until I leave the capital, I will do my best to be good to her. Brother Mobei, don't let your guard down."

Fan laughed wildly.

The heroic spirit in him always makes people feel comfortable with him.

Zhan Mobei also smiled when he heard this, picked up his wine glass and said, "In this case, let's let go of the fight, and I won't let Brother Fan do this."

"Good!"

The glasses collided with a clanging sound.

The two of them almost drank from the dawn to the moon.

However, just when the two of them were drunk and unconscious, a crying, making trouble and hanging were being staged in the palace on the other side.

Incense Hall –

The cool wind kept blowing on Fu Yingxi's body.

And she knelt on the hard, rugged stone, never moving.

The dream beauty sitting in the hall looked at Fu Yingxi, who had snot and tears on her face, and her expression was still very stubborn, so angry that she simply said:

"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to kneel to the end and never change, or do you want to get up and continue to be your ninth princess?"

Fu Yingxi gritted her teeth and said loudly, "What's wrong with me wanting to marry King Bomi! The crooked melons and cracked dates that my mother found for me, can any of them compare to King Bomi?"

"Good! You're still determined to go your own way, right, then you can kneel! Anyway, I'm not going to let you marry that King Bomi!"

With that, Dream Beauty angrily flicked her sleeves and went to the inner hall.

Fu Yingxi saw that her own mother was so ruthless, and she felt extremely aggrieved.

She wiped a handful of tears welling up and rubbed her bruised knees.

At this time, Zhuang'er, the close-to-the-line palace maid who was serving the dream beauty, came over.

"Ninth Princess, why do you say you are doing this? That King Bomi, you only saw him once at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, why did you suddenly give up on him?"

"I don't care, I like him. If the concubine doesn't agree, I will kneel here without eating or drinking!"

"The ninth princess is serious, the beauty loves you in her heart, how can she be willing to let you suffer from your flesh and skin."

"If the mother concubine really feels sorry for me, let me leave the Condensing Incense Hall and let me go to my father to ask for a marriage."

"The ninth princess listened to the persuasion of the servant, so she dispelled this idea, she would never agree to this matter of beauty."

"My mother has always been obedient to me, so I don't believe she is so ruthless this time!"

Fu Yingxi's voice suddenly became two degrees louder.

She said this on purpose to the dream beauty in the temple.

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of something smashing to the ground and shattering in the hall.

Fu Yingxi was so frightened that she immediately fell silent and didn't dare to say any more.

She has been raised by her mother's side since she was a child, and this kind of blood suppression is still very effective.

Zhuang Er saw Fu Yingxi pouting and secretly angry, so he had to squat down and gently persuade:

"Ninth Princess, you are a daughter, what kind of good man do you want, why do you have to choose King Bomi?"

"Because King Popmy is personable and the king of a country, if I marry him in the future, I will be a queen. Doesn't the concubine often say that it would be nice if she were the queen, but now that I have the opportunity to be the queen, the concubine is not happy!"

"Beauty, it's not that she doesn't want the ninth princess to be a queen, it's just that the identity of this Bomi King is really embarrassing. King Bomi has already honored the Seventh Princess as the Empress Dowager Bomi, so he is a generation difference from you."

"What's the matter, didn't the ministers in the previous court still let the seventh sister remarry King Bomi as a concubine?"

"But at that time, the identity of the seventh princess was the queen of King Pomi, and according to Bomi's etiquette, there was naturally nothing wrong with her marrying the new King Pomi. But this queen mother completely broke off the possibility of remarrying with the princesses of Shuhan."

After listening to Zhuang'er's words, the stubbornness on Fu Yingxi's face gradually turned into loss.

"In that case, it is impossible for me to marry King Bami."

"Ninth Princess, you get up first, the ground is cold, if you kneel badly, the beauty will be distressed."

Zhuang Er helped Fu Yingxi up in a timely manner.

But the moment Fu Yingxi got up, she remembered what Zhan Xinglan had said to her when she was in the princess courtyard before.

"The ninth princess was born with a gorgeous appearance, and she is the golden branch and jade leaf of her father, so she should have married beautifully. I have a good idea here, maybe I can help the Ninth Princess make her wish come true."

"What's the solution?"

Zhan Xinglan made a finger hook gesture to Fu Yingxi, and Fu Yingxi immediately leaned over.

"This Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and there will be no dozens of envoys who will come to the cold at that time. The Nine Princesses are as wise as torches, and they must be able to pick out one or two of them that are suitable. When the time came, the ninth princess fell in love with the king or prince of the envoys, so she went to ask her father for marriage. My father has always been reasonable, and he will not refuse."

"But if my father refuses, what should I do?"

"If the ninth princess has something she desperately wants to get on weekdays, but her father and the dream beauty just won't give it to you, what will you do?"

"I'm crying and making trouble and looking for death and life, and my father and mother will agree to me. It's just that I haven't been like this in front of my father for a long time, what if he ......."

"The Ninth Princess is too worried, you are the most beautiful and noble princess in Shuhan. Father must love you the most in his heart, as long as you cry hard, how can my father not agree to you. As long as the father nods, is there room for the dream beauty to disagree?"

Fu Yingxi's eyes protruded

Then it lit up.

"That's right!"

"What's wrong with you, Ninth Princess?"

"Zhuang'er, you go and tell the concubine, I figured it out."

"Okay, the maid will go and tell the beauty."

Zhuang Er smiled with satisfaction, and hurriedly ran a few steps to the outside of the palace gate.

"Dream beauty, the ninth princess said that she figured it out, please open the door."

"Really?"

"It's true."

"Open the door!"

The door of the temple slowly opened with a command.

Meng Meiren's face is still ugly and scary.

She walked out of the hall with her skirt in her soft tone, "You really figured it out?"

Fu Yingxi said obediently, "Yes, mother. Zhuang Er told me about the relationship between King Bomi and us, and I gave up the idea of marrying King Bomi."

"You're obedient." Meng Meiren breathed a sigh of relief, "After Princess De'an gets married, the mother concubine will choose a few more candidates for you."

"yes, okay. Then I'll go back to the princess's house first."

"Go ahead."

Meng Meiren looked at Fu Yingxi's scattered back, and couldn't help but feel worried again.

"Zhuang'er, do you think Yingxi can still get married?"

"The beauty is too worried, although the ninth princess is not a bright and moving little lady, but in the end, she is a princess who has a long history, and her status is noble, and someone will definitely marry the ninth princess sincerely."

"But this girl is spoiled by me. The heart is higher than the sky, and the eyes are higher than the top. She is bent on marrying a son-in-law with a head and a face, how can she look down on those nobodies. Look at her now, she even wants to marry King Bomi."

"The Ninth Princess is just a whim, and the beauties don't have to care."

"Well, I'm glad you persuaded her. The country has just experienced war, and the whole country is barren, and even Princess De'an, who married in the heyday of the country, will inevitably complain, how barren that place must be. This Yingxi only looks at people who are good-looking and noble, and she doesn't want to think about how she will live in the future!"

The more Meng Meiren talked, the more angry she became, and the anger also rose up.

"The beauty is dissipated, the ninth princess has already dispelled this idea, she must have really figured it out."

"I hope so. By the way, Fu Luoxiang's dead girl has also lived in Lingwang's Mansion for a few days, but what's the news?"

"Stay at home, just send someone under the fence."

"Hmph, did she think that with Princess Ling's support for her, she would not be able to return to the palace for the rest of her life? I'm her titular mother, and even if she dies, don't try to escape from my palm!"

Meng Meiren's angry face was a little more ruthless.

She only regrets now that when she used the needle punishment on Fu Luoxiang, she didn't be more ruthless.

"Beauty, it's almost a moment, you've been in poor health lately, so help you rest."

Just when Zhuang Er helped Mengmei into the hall, and just when he took off the hairpin ring and was about to go to bed, a yellow door hurriedly ran in.

"Slave and maid, see Dream Beauty. Gonggong Kou asks you to go to the Zichen Palace quickly, saying that you are asking you to bring the Ninth Princess back."

"What did you say? The Ninth Princess went to the Zichen Palace!"
