The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 164 Lover
His aunt, Princess Xiushan, came to visit.

Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, did not come here to wish her nephew a happy new year. At this moment, she was sitting in the flower hall, sipping the fine Yunwu tea: "Heng'er, my aunt is not here to bring bad luck to you on New Year's Day. I really have no choice. !”

The Wang family did not dare to get into trouble on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so they had to wait until the second day of the Lunar New Year before Wang Mingzhou, the second oldest member of the Wang family, went to Princess Xiushan and cried, saying that his younger brother died in Mayi County for no apparent reason and asked Her Highness the Princess to make the decision. .

To say that the Wang family are just cousins ​​of Princess Xiushan’s ex-husband, the relationship cannot be said to be close. Originally, they were living a good life relying on Princess Xiushan’s ex-husband. Unexpectedly, he died too early, and the people behind the Yang family were unable to be used. They could take care of themselves. Not bad, let alone the cousins ​​of the Wang family.

At this time, Wang Mingzhou, the handsome and charming second eldest son of the Wang family, appeared. This man was good for nothing but handsome, and he happened to catch the eye of Princess Xiushan. So far, the Wang family had bypassed the Yang family and regained a foothold.

That day, Wang Mingzhou cried with pear blossoms in front of Princess Xiushan: "The third brother is only two decades old. Who would have expected that his parents would let their white-haired parents give away their black-haired parents? In a large county, there are so many wealthy squires, who can If you don’t want to go home, just stick with the Wang family. If there’s nothing fishy about this, princess, do you believe it?”

The 25-year-old second son of the Wang family has a baby face. He looks as delicate as a teenager, but his body is much stronger than that of a teenager. Naturally, he is one of the few favorites of Princess Xiushan.

The lover was so sad, so Princess Xiushan naturally wanted to comfort her: "This happened because the Liao people came suddenly. No one thought that this would happen before. The court has been arguing about this matter for the past two days. You can wait for a while." In two days, I will find someone to find out the truth for you."

Wang Mingzhou had no other abilities, but he had a good grasp of Princess Xiushan's temperament. Seeing Princess Xiushan say this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad: "I've always been favored by newcomers. Now that I'm nearly thirty years old, I don't think your Highness will care about me." Love has to come to an end, otherwise, how could it be so perfunctory?"

The lovers were at odds, and Princess Xiushan had no choice but to annoy her nephew, His Royal Highness Prince Wei, Tantai Yuheng. Isn't that under your rule?Isn't the county magistrate one of yours?How do your people do things?The Liao people didn't know anything when they came to the city. Maybe one day when Chang'an City is taken away, we don't know anything either!
Wei Wang Tantai Yuheng was very kind to his aunt, Princess Xiushan: "Aunt, the servants of the Wang family sound like they are from Liao. Naturally, they cannot be false. If they are not from Liao, who else could they be?"

Princess Xiushan snorted coldly: "Even if you are from Liao, how could it be such a coincidence that you just happened to break into the Wang family and kill the third son of the Wang family? There must be some conspiracy behind this matter. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? thing!"

King Wei patiently explained: "Not all the Wang family are dead. There are still several daughters-in-law and the third child of the Wang family who are still alive. These people have confirmed that they are indeed Liao people, and they probably came here for gold and silver."

"It's not like my aunt doesn't know the virtues of Liao people!"

Princess Xiushan refused to listen to this and gave her nephew an ultimatum: "Didn't you say that only the Wang family in the countryside had taken action against the refugees from outside? Let's check carefully. Maybe these refugees took the opportunity to take revenge."

Princess Xiushan was talking to King Wei in the front hall, and her daughter Yang Shiyue, Princess Lingyue, was talking to King Wei's biological mother, Concubine Ruan, in the palace: "My dear, how could the Liao people be so cruel and touch the county town on New Year's Eve?" , and to wipe out a whole family is really appalling."

Concubine Ruan originally didn't like Yang Shiyue, mainly because her mother, Princess Xiushan, was domineering and offended all the sisters-in-law in the palace.But this princess is a wonderful person. Every time she enters the palace, she makes the nobles and the old emperor very happy.

As time went by, Concubine Ruan didn't mind letting Yang Shiyue accompany her sometimes to talk and relieve her boredom. Moreover, Concubine Ruan felt very relieved when she saw Princess Xiushan's daughter lying down and making babies in front of her. "It's really worrying. Now there are Jie people, and now there are Liao people. There are also White Lotus Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and so are your cousins." Ruan Guifei covered her mouth in the middle of the sentence, and stopped as if something was wrong. .

Yang Shiyue said: "You cousins ​​have different temperaments. It is rare to find someone as gentle and courteous as my fourth cousin. He is worthy of being called a wise king."

After praising her son, Concubine Ruan naturally put on a good face: "You are the only one who cares about your fourth cousin so much. Others feel that my fourth cousin is just pretending, and he always talks nonsense behind his back!"

"You are mediocre if you are not envied by others!" Yang Shiyue comforted Concubine Ruan, and then said, "It's just that I think Mayi County is really useless. It's next to Uncle Wang Changling, and the elders don't want to take care of it at all. , now that the Liao people are here, they all come to see Fourth Cousin. Even I, who don’t understand military matters, feel aggrieved for Fourth Cousin."

In the previous life, the Liao people came through Mayi County and joined forces with the Jie people, so that Chang'an City became a city of hell. The Changling King actually did not take action. He waited until Chang'an City fell completely before sending troops to snatch the city in one fell swoop. , and then it became his territory.

But in this life, if Mayi County belongs to him directly, then if the Liao people come again, he may not be able to escape his involvement.

Although September of this year is the day of his death, Yang Shiyue feels that she cannot afford to wait. She has not received a letter from Chen Yuzhang for a long time, and she doesn't know if things are going smoothly on his side. In this case, she must clear these obstacles as soon as possible. .

Concubine Ruan was also indignant when she mentioned King Changling: "How can there be such an uncle in the world? The enemy has invaded my nephew's side, but he can still stand still. I don't know how he grew up with such a heart. No wonder His mother wanted to give him such a name, it was really "

"Your Majesty!" Yang Shiyue interrupted Ruan Guifei's words: "It's about that person, it's better for Your Majesty to be cautious about what you say, so as not to be taken advantage of by someone with malicious intentions and cause unnecessary trouble to your cousin!"

Concubine Ruan was shocked and remembered her brother-in-law's perverse and violent behavior, so she stopped talking.

However, Yang Shiyue said casually: "My dear, tell me, if Mayi County is given to King Changling, can he still watch the entire Liao people come in?"

Concubine Ruan thought about it, yes, that Mayi County has poor mountains and rivers, but it is also close to the Liao Dynasty. It is not wrong to say that it is useless. It cannot collect even half of the tax every year, but it constantly asks for various reliefs. Every time her son mentions it, They are all annoying. If I gave it to that person directly, wouldn't these things be gone?

"You said it would be great if we had the final say in Mayi County. It would save us a day to do something, and we have to look forward and backward for fear of upsetting an adult and strangle our necks later!" Jing Dafu is also worried about this! He told Huo Shen about the territory with a loud tongue and a mouth full of alcohol.
