Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1239 She Can't Touch the Bottom Line

Pang Huang's words completely stunned Xiao Hou.

This is not the first time he has heard others say this, but every time, the reaction in his heart becomes stronger and stronger.

Xiao Hou's obvious reaction made Pang Huang more sure of his conjecture.

"Just to put it bluntly, why did the imperial sister give you a chance, but you didn't blame her, instead, you blamed the prince. This kind of differential treatment really makes people jealous."

Pang Huang withdrew the light in his eyes and leaned back on the chair. Although it was literally an accusation against him, the tone was not the same. He raised his glass to him and drank it down.

Xiao Hou was silent for a while, quickly calmed down his emotions, and then drank it all together.

"The princess is just a pawn in the plan. It is useless to convict her. In addition, this king disdains to care about women, which is not what the prince said."

Pang Huang waved his hand, "You don't need to make excuses, we smart people don't talk dark words, the prince really doesn't understand why you like someone like Pang Zhijing, who doesn't have the gentleness that women should have, even if they are stubborn and willful You don't even know that she's still jealous all the time, she's now a laughing stock of Nan Cang, if it wasn't for this marriage, she wouldn't have had the chance to see the sun again."

The sarcasm in Pang Huang's words made Xiao Hou clenched the wine glass tightly. He raised his brows, the smile on his face was completely absorbed, and his eyes were even more icy, "Your Highness, you are so perfunctory in choosing to marry the princess. , Don’t talk about this in front of other people in the future, otherwise it will fall into the ears of those who want to, and it will provoke the relationship between the two countries.”

Pang Huang was taken aback by what he said, he really didn't notice this, but isn't Xiao Hou a partner?Why should he care about these things?
However, Xiao Hou continued, "And the woman you are talking about is about to become the mistress of this king's future palace. Does His Royal Highness think it is appropriate to say this?"

Hearing this, Pang Huang felt that he had really made a slip of the tongue. No man, no matter whether he likes his wife or not, would not allow others to verbally insult him. This is a matter of a man's face.

He suddenly felt that it was reasonable for Xiao Hou to be angry just now.

"King Yi is right. It is true that the prince's words were inappropriate. The prince retracted those words. Come, the prince respects you with this glass of wine. The right is to make an apology for the words just now!"

Although Pang Huang's temperament is not very good, but the people around him are very loyal to him, very determined, the reason is that he is based on the principle of correcting mistakes, he is a person who can listen to advice, even if It was the other party who once offended him. As long as this person has merit, he will appoint him regardless of past suspicions. He has a very clear principle of conducting himself in the world and appointing sages.

Xiao Hou is a person with very strong self-control, but today he will break his temper and get angry. Obviously, Pang Huang touched his bottom line, but at this time, Pang Huang sincerely apologized and let him quickly return to his usual appearance. There are still some fluctuations in the body, but he has covered it up.

After all, they are all people who play with power. Although Pang Huang's behavior can't appease his anger, as a prince, he has achieved this level, which is already very face-saving, and he found that such a person who can bend and stretch will definitely have a lot of fun in the future. Achievement, at this time they are still in a cooperative relationship and cannot tear their faces apart.

So he smiled, as gentle as usual, "His Royal Highness is serious, it's because I'm too sensitive, this glass of wine should be my apology for you."

Pang Huang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, he had already drank the glass of wine just now, and he didn't stop him, but now he wants to come to respect him, isn't it because he is drinking it?

He suddenly felt that the man in front of him with a gentle smile like a spring breeze actually had a deep scheming heart, and was not as kind and easy to bully as he appeared on the surface.

Pang Huang drank the wine again.

I vaguely felt that Pang Zhijing was a taboo subject for Xiaohou, and I remembered what I said before, this concubine princess was the worst one picked from the Nancang royal family, and now she was about to become his princess, Pang Huang was even more shameless Bringing up the topic again, he changed the subject.

"What happened to Xiao Xu recently?"

Recently, he has been busy in bed for treatment of his injuries, and has little energy to understand the affairs of Xixuan Capital. In addition, there are some incidents in the royal family, and he is too busy to take care of himself.

Xiao Hou nodded and said, "Originally there was nothing important, but in the past two days, news came from the palace that Xiao Xu intends to hand over his military power, return to his fief, and never return to Beijing."

Hearing this, Pang Huang was surprised in disbelief, "How could he hand over such a piece of fat? Doesn't he know what having military power is equivalent to owning? That's half the national power! Why can't he think about it so much?"

"Also, shouldn't you be preparing to become the crown prince? I really don't understand what's going on in his mind when he leaves at such a critical moment."

"He never plays cards according to common sense. Ordinary people can't guess his thoughts." Xiao Hou recalled that since he was a child, he couldn't figure out the emperor's mind. Others tried their best to seize power, but he He treats power like dung, and never cared about it. Others tried their best to please his father, but he can hide as far as he can, and won't come back until he can.

This is also the reason why he seldom appeared in Kyoto for so many years.

But what does this have to do with me, no matter what he does, he must be eliminated, and he cannot be let to die so easily, otherwise, in the past ten years, he has plenty of opportunities to send him to hell.

It's just that he didn't want him to die so happily.

Pang Huang noticed his somewhat cloudy expression, touched his nose, thoughtful.

"Then now that he is leaving the capital, won't our future plans come to nothing?" Pang Huang asked.

Xiao Hou chuckled softly, "Father hasn't agreed yet, maybe there is a turning point, and this king will not let him leave so easily, otherwise, how can we continue singing this scene without a protagonist?"

While he was talking, Pang Huang felt a flash of hatred in his eyes, although it disappeared soon, but he still caught it, and he secretly thought in his heart, what kind of hatred does this Xiao Hou and Xiao Xu have, and when the time comes, let him Check out the people below.

"Okay, if King Yi needs to cooperate at that time, just mention it. This time the crown prince has brought a lot of people, so I'm not afraid of not having enough manpower!"

Pang Huang said generously.

Xiao Hou responded with a smile, "Okay, His Royal Highness is very straightforward, come, I respect you."

Next, Xiao Hou toasted very enthusiastically, and after a few rounds, Pang Huang was already drunk.

Before Xiao Hou came, Pang Huang had already drank a lot by himself, and just now he was urging him to drink one cup at a time, so Pang Huang soon became exhausted.

This wine is very strong and has a strong aftertaste.

Seeing Pang Huang lying on the table, thinking that when he wakes up tomorrow, he will have a splitting headache, Xiao Hou lightly laughed, and this should be a punishment for insulting the little rascal just now.

He put down his wine glass, got up and returned to the original road.

As for the wine glass standing on the table, after a gust of night wind, a crack suddenly appeared on the body of the glass, and then, with a "snap", it fell apart.
