Chapter 191: His Highness's whereabouts
After learning about Shangguan Feiyan's dismissal by Murong Xuan in Tianxiang Temple last time, Murong Ba has been thinking about when Shangguan Mansion will meet with Shangguan Taiwei, but he can't be too deliberate.
So he picked a beautiful day to go out, and then went to Shangguan Mansion by the way, and specially brought a lot of generous gifts.
"Captain Shangguan, you are an old minister of Xiyan Kingdom, this prince should have come to visit you and listen to your teachings, but it's a pity that he didn't come until now, I hope you will smile at these small gifts!" Saying that, Murong Ba asked his subordinates to bring in a bunch of gifts.
"Where, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, the old man is old, and most of what he says is foolish, you can deign to come to the old man as a guest, the old man already feels honored, as for these gifts, the old man can't accept them. Come, send these gifts to the prince back to the palace as they are, and there will be no delay. At that moment, Shangguan Cuo directly refused in front of Murong Ba, which made Murong Ba feel a little embarrassed.
"You say, what does this Shangguan Cuo mean, is he on His Royal Highness's side, or does he say ......" After such a toss, Ming An also couldn't understand the weather vane of Shangguan Cuo.
"Shangguan Cuo, this old man, he wants to be celibate in the world, and he doesn't occupy any side, but even so, it was because of me that I was fortunate to be this prince, and His Royal Highness should still be grateful to him." Although Murong Ba was dissatisfied with Shangguan Cuo's refusal, he was not really angry, after all, he still knew a little about Shangguan Cuo's character.
"However, his attitude seems to indicate that he does not intend to let His Highness be his son-in-law." Ming An thought about it and said.
"No, that old man is not a fool, he naturally understands the thoughts of His Highness. But even so, His Highness will not give up, but it will arouse His Highness's dissatisfaction. Murong Ba sneered unconsciously.
"Your Highness means ......" Ming An didn't dare to speculate secretly.
"As long as Feiyan is willing, he will not refuse to come to that Shangguan House again, he is very precious to his daughter." Murong Ba looked at Ming An and smiled weirdly.
"Your Highness, what a cleverness!"
The next day, Feiyan received an invitation from Murong Ba, hoping that she could swim the Xiangjiang River with him, but Shangguan Feiyan directly refused.
"Miss, you can't stay in the house all the time, you'll get sick." Seeing Shangguan Feiyan's refusal, Ruhua couldn't help but say.
"As a lady of everyone, you should not go out of the door, and you can't enter the second door, why don't you even understand these basic common sense."
"But, didn't Mademoiselle go out a lot before? How can you ...... now" Picturesque couldn't help but refute.
"That's because I was ignorant before, but now that I'm older, I know what to do and what not to do, as a slave, you must also keep to yourself, don't instigate me to go out everywhere." Shangguan Feiyan took the opportunity to reprimand.
"Miss......" Picturesque wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all. She knew that Shangguan Feiyan was hurt because of Murong Xuan's feelings, and if she mentioned someone again, she was afraid that she would not be able to think about it.
"What's going on, what did Miss Feiyan say?" Murong Ba, who was waiting for the news, couldn't help but be eager to know the answer when he saw the next person coming back.
"Your Highness, Miss Feiyan directly refused, and asked you to invite others to swim together."
What did she mean by asking His Highness not to disturb her anymore? Hearing his subordinates say this, Murong Ba's heart went up and down, and it was very unpleasant.
Here, Qiu Lanxiang has been giving birth for a long time, but she never sees Murong Ba coming, so she plans to come to her, but unfortunately every time she goes to Murong Ba, she finds that he is not in the mansion, so she can't help but be curious.
"You say, what has Your Highness been busy with lately?" When Qiu Lanxiang went to Murong Ba again and didn't see him, she asked subconsciously.
"Why, you're starting to be interested in Your Highness's whereabouts?" At this time, Zhulan happened to pass by her and heard her conversation with the slave, so she smiled and asked.
I don't know why, Qiu Lanxiang felt that Zhulan's smile seemed to be particularly dazzling, she subconsciously felt disgusted, but it was not easy to show it directly, so she had to say in disgust: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of asking it." ”
"Oh, that's it, I thought Miss Lanxiang wanted to know, and since she didn't particularly want to know, then there was no need for Miss Ben to tell one or two." With that, Zhulan planned to leave.
"That, wait!" Seeing this, Qiu Lanxiang cheekily called Zhulan.
"What, is there anything else going on with Miss Lanxiang?" Zhulan asked deliberately.
"Well, do you know the whereabouts of His Highness?" Qiu Lanxiang coughed and asked very uncomfortably.
"That's nature." Zhulan was noncommittal.
"Then where has His Highness been these days?" Qiu Lanxiang couldn't help but want to inquire.
"This?" Zhulan paused deliberately, she looked at Qiu Lanxiang, as if she was deliberately whetting her appetite.
"I don't think you know." Seeing that Zhulan paused, Qiu Lanxiang couldn't help but mock.
"Hmph, I don't know, do you think I'm the same as you?" Zhulan snorted coldly, and then said: "Tell you, Qiu Lanxiang, the woman Your Highness likes in his heart is not you, nor me, but someone else, these days, he is just to please that woman." ”
"What did you say?" Qiu Lanxiang felt that Zhulan was deliberately provoking her jealousy, but she was not fooled.
"Do you think I'm lying to you, I don't have that intention. After all, it is not you that Your Highness likes in her heart, and I don't need to be jealous of a woman who has no status in His Highness's heart. The corners of Zhulan's mouth twitched, and she said: "That's right, I advise you not to be a princess, it's good to be a side concubine." The position of this crown princess is not something that a woman of your or me's status can do, so you should die as soon as possible. ”
Zhulan knows that Qiu Lanxiang is arrogant, the more you belittle her, the more she is dissatisfied, and Zhulan just wants to provoke Qiu Lanxiang's jealousy, and then let her fight with that Shangguan Feiyan, and then sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight by herself, and enjoy the success.
Sure enough, when Zhulan said this, Qiu Lanxiang couldn't help but be angry, she swore that she must get the position of the crown princess, and planned to wait until Murong Ba came back and was ready to question him.
Speaking of which, since being rejected by Shangguan Feiyan that time, Murong Ba has not been discouraged, but has become more and more frustrated, but he has tried many times, but the result has been in vain.
Today, he was rejected by Shangguan Feiyan again, and Murong Ba returned to the mansion in disgrace, depressed. He was thinking about how to get Shangguan Feiyan's heart, but he didn't want to see Qiu Lanxiang running over angrily, and then asked him why he was deceiving him, and scolded him for being unkind and not a man.
"Qiu Lanxiang, have you made enough trouble, this is the Dongjun Palace, not a vegetable market on the shrew street." Murong Ba suddenly grabbed Qiu Lanxiang's wrist and said fiercely.
At this time, Qiu Lanxiang was already overwhelmed by anger, she just said according to her own temperament: "Murong Ba, don't think that you are a highness and can do whatever you want, tell you, if you annoy the old lady, the old lady will make you unable to raise your head in the entire capital." ”
Bang, only to hear a loud sound, Murong Ba slapped Qiu Lanxiang on the face, and suddenly the five finger prints were distinct and abnormal, and Qiu Lanxiang immediately closed her mouth.
Oh my God, Murong dominates him...... He actually slapped her, feeling a hot pain, Qiu Lanxiang subconsciously covered the left half of her face and looked at Murong Ba in disbelief.
"Is crazy enough, if you are crazy enough, get out of here for His Highness." Murong Ba pointed at Qiu Lanxiang and then outside, meaning that she would disappear from her eyes immediately.
"You, you actually hit me?" Until this time, Qiu Lanxiang didn't want to believe this fact, and in an instant, her tears flowed down her cheeks in vain, seeing this, Murong Ba was angry and irritable, he saw that Qiu Lanxiang didn't move at all, so he withdrew and left, and changed to a clean place.
"See? A man always likes the new and hates the old, yesterday he could love you very much, but today he may abandon you like a mustard, so ah, we, as women, are really pitiful! Zhulan didn't know when she appeared in front of Qiu Lanxiang, and she admonished earnestly like a passerby.
Qiu Lanxiang wiped a handful of tears, she didn't want to listen to Zhulan's verbosity, she felt that this woman just wanted to see her jokes at the moment, so she planned to leave, but she didn't want Zhulan to say again: "I advise you, women can only really win the hearts of men if they know how to give in and be soft, whether it is in this county palace or the world outside, this is an immutable iron law." ”
"What the hell do you mean?" Qiu Lanxiang listened to Zhulan's meaning, and didn't seem to want to see her joke, so she turned around and asked again.
"It's not interesting, I just think you're just a poor woman in the Dongjun Palace, just like me." Zhulan sneered as she said and turned to leave.
Speaking of which, since Zhulan knew that Murong Ba didn't like Qiu Lanxiang, the original jealousy for Qiu Lanxiang no longer existed, but instead took pity on her.
"No, I won't be the poor woman of this Dongjun Palace, you just wait and see." Qiu Lanxiang secretly swore an oath, but she remembered what Zhulan had just said in her heart, maybe as a woman, she should overcome rigidity with softness, and be impulsive and reckless like just now, but I am afraid that Murong Ba will hate herself more and more.
Because of the unsuccessful pursuit of Shangguan Feiyan and Qiu Lanxiang's trouble, Murong Ba's mood became more and more dull, and he couldn't even raise interest in other things.
Soon, Ming An saw the signs, and he couldn't bear to see Murong Ba so depressed, so he couldn't help but help with advice.
"What do you mean......" Murong Ba was originally depressed, but when he saw that Ming An had such an idea, his heart couldn't help but light up.
"The hero saves the beauty, and finally holds the beauty, it is written like this in the play, Your Highness, don't think it is vulgar, this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly!"
"If you have you, don't say it sooner!" Murong Ba suddenly became interested, and asked Ming An to arrange it immediately.
