Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1238

After hearing what he said, Xiao Hou couldn't help but frowned, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Prince looking for an important matter with the King today?"

Pang Huang raised his wine glass, looked at him, and said with a chuckle, "Such a good day, with beauties and wine, shouldn't it be a time for pleasure? There is time for business, and there is no rush at this moment, and the prince is in a car. When Lao Dun came here, he didn't let King Yi take the wind and wash away the dust, not only was he self-reliant, but also brought beautiful women to King Yi, don't you think this prince is very interesting?"

Xiao Hou smiled lowly when he heard the words, "His Royal Highness is indeed very interesting."

Hearing his affirmation, Pang Huang said ambiguously, "Then tonight, you can pick a few pleasing ones and go back to serve them, and you can put them in the room. Anyway, they have been trained, and Mr. Bao is satisfied."

As soon as the words were finished, those exotic beauties shyly said, "His Royal Highness really hates..." Pang Huang laughed out loud.

However, Xiao Hou raised his hand to prevent the woman beside him from approaching, raised his head to face Pang Huang's doubts, and said apologetically, "It seems that this king is not blessed to enjoy the kindness of His Royal Highness tonight."

"Why?" Pang Huang leaned back in the chair, his eyes fell on him, with a little inquiry.

Xiao Hou said rather embarrassedly, "Some time ago, the marriage between the king and the princess was just decided, and the wedding is coming soon. If any unfavorable news comes out, it will have an impact on the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so the king—"

Everyone present understands what is not stated.

Those women suddenly showed mournful eyes, although Xiao Hou rejected them very tactfully, but they thought they were not bad in appearance, why couldn't they catch his eyes, each turned their eyes to their own prince, and complained silently.

Pang Huang caught the eyes of the beauties and spoke for them, "Don't worry too much, King Yi. No one will know about your affairs. Even if the prince's sister knows, she won't dare to do anything out of line. Last time she boldly revised our plan and plotted against you, you can take revenge, anyway, her position in Nancang is very important, if anything happens, the crown prince will arrange for you a princess to come over, Apart from going to your majesty to go through the motions, nothing else is troublesome."

Sure enough, as Pang Zhijing said to Chu Qingyan at the beginning, there is no shortage of princesses in Nancang Kingdom, if one princess falls down, thousands of princesses will stand up.

After hearing what he said, Xiao Hou suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he curled up his fingers to hold back.

At this time, those women who had been neglected by Xiao Hou began to chatter unwillingly.

"His Royal Highness is right. This princess has a bad reputation in our Nancang. She is unruly and willful. How can we sisters be as gentle as water?"

"That's right. I was lucky enough to witness the princess go out once before. The slave family also heard that the princess fell in love with Young Master You Qingxi, and she boldly showed her love. The whole city knew about it. Many people made fun of her."

"Yes, because Mr. You has his own heart, the princess will attack his fiancée after she can't get him. The methods are very cruel, and the servants are afraid."

"..."

The more everyone talked, the more excited they were, and all the messy things, true and false, were uttered, but no one noticed that Xiao Hou's face was getting darker and darker, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging due to exertion.

Pang Huang listened to their talk with relish, but he felt something was wrong. It seemed that Xiao Hou hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

"Yi Wang, why don't you speak?"

Xiao Hou lowered his eyes and smiled lowly, "His Royal Highness, you have heard an old saying."

"What?" Pang Huang was surprised by his questioning.

I saw Xiao Hou raised his head slowly, his eyes were as cold as ink, "Summer insects cannot speak of ice, and well frogs cannot speak of sea creatures."

"This is so profound, what do you mean?" None of these women had ever been to school and could not read a single word. Most of them looked at him suspiciously.

The people present were only those who could read and write. When they heard Xiao Hou's words, their faces turned pale and they were completely at a loss.

And Pang Huang looked at him in disbelief when he heard the words, "Are you trying to fight for the crown prince's incompetent imperial sister?"

Xiao Hou's expression was as gentle and authentic as usual, "This king is just telling the truth, it depends on how the prince understands."

Pang Huang looked at him deeply, and saw that although his brows and eyes were smiling, there was a chill in his eyes, as if he was angry, not as calm and breezy as when he met just now.

He also felt that Xiao Hou had never looked at those women since they came in, and he was full of resistance, so he couldn't help raising his hand to let those women who were at a loss go down first.

Although these women's identities are very humble, they have gone through many layers of training to get to this point. Observing words and emotions is the most basic skill. Ever since Xiao Hou said that old saying, they found that the atmosphere in the whole pavilion was different. , revealing a breathless suffocation.

Now that Pang Huang asked them to retreat, they immediately went down with their skirts up as if they were pardoned, not daring to stay for a moment.

"Yi Wang, you have scared these beauties." Pang Huang said with a half-smile.

Xiao Hou smiled innocently, "I don't seem to have done anything."

Pang Huang spun the wine glass and said slowly, "It's because you didn't do anything that it's scary."

Xiao Hou questioned, "What is the explanation for this statement? This king would like to hear the details."

"The beauty is on the side, sitting still, not squinting. Everyone says that a hero is sad about a beauty, but it doesn't work on King Yi. His concentration is so strong, which makes the prince admire." Pang Huang was not in a hurry. typical.

Xiao Hou smiled lightly, "His Royal Highness is overrated."

Pang Huang smiled, his eyes suddenly fell on his face, and his tone was unpredictable, "However, I think there should be another reason, that is, none of the beauties present today are the beauties in King Yi's heart. If you meet the person in your heart, then the hero is still a sad beauty."

Xiao Hou felt that there was something in his words, as if he was implying something.

"His Royal Highness, the two of us are in a cooperative relationship. If you have anything to say, you can say it clearly without beating around the bush."

Because his voice has always been gentle and warm, saying this will not make people feel disgusted.

At this time, Pang Huang withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on the wine glass in his hand. He turned the rim of the glass with his fingers, watching the mellow wine swaying in it, so clean and clear that it could reflect the light of the lanterns on the corner of the pavilion, it was gorgeous and colorful.

Afterwards, he said faintly, "Did King Yi fall in love with the prince's sister?"

"What?" Xiao Hou was stunned for a moment, completely unresponsive.

Pang Huang raised his eyes to look at him again, "Because people's eyes can't lie."
