Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 762 Undercurrent (4)
Xuanyuan Ling still didn't speak, frowning, wandering around in the study.

Sikong Jin was already irritable, so he couldn't do anything with him several times, but he became angry immediately, and slammed his palm on the table, and the table was instantly shattered into powder.

In the prince's mansion, there were naturally many hidden guards hiding. Hearing this movement, they immediately surrounded the study room.

After being dazed for a moment, Xuanyuanling smiled faintly, gave a secret signal, and dismissed the people outside, "What is the eldest prince in a hurry, it's all right, a table is broken, and this king didn't say he wouldn't cooperate with you, it's just that The matter still needs to be considered in the long term, besides, isn’t King Xiang currently in the process of suppressing at the border? Don’t be afraid, if you have dispatched five thousand elite soldiers, he will take advantage of this gap to directly attack you?”

Sikong Jin's expression turned ferocious, "My lord, what you do and what you don't do, isn't that what you sages of the Central Plains often say? Why, at this moment, you're not afraid anymore?"

Xuanyuan Ling was still laughing, "Since the eldest prince has made up his mind, let's negotiate a peace. After two days, you send someone to hand over the letter of surrender, but the timing must be chosen well, and it must not be too abrupt. In addition, you must let your , pretending to be defeated by He Liancheng's attack and had to surrender, since it's an act, we have to act like it, otherwise how can we be convincing!"

Sikong Jin snorted arrogantly, "You don't need to worry about my affairs, you just need to persuade those ministers in the Southern Jin Dynasty not to let them mess up the plan, you, the crown prince, are only temporary and won't last long, so , it’s not too late to do this.”

He was about to leave, but Xuanyuanling held back his anger and called to him, "One more thing, I have to remind you, during the peace negotiation period, it is best to send someone to hold back Princess Xiang, that woman is not an ordinary black-hearted cunning, We all have to be wary of her, but don't let her take the opportunity to see something!"

"Hmph, you're just a woman, so I scare you like this. After all, you used to be the prince of Yan, so don't lose the integrity you should have!" Sikong Jin was extremely arrogant, wishing to judge others with his nostrils.

Xuanyuan was so angry that he wished he could go up and cut him, but at this moment, he knew that he couldn't get angry and had to bear it.

I have already become a stand-in for others, so there is nothing I can't bear.

After Sikong Jin left, he recruited Butler Qiu who was waiting outside.

"How did you do what you were asked to do?" Xuanyuan Ling was standing by the window, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, feeling very upset.

Steward Qiu has already taken refuge in him, but he doesn't know his real identity, he only thinks that he is really Su Yu, a member of Shangguan's family.

"Your Highness, please don't worry. Tomorrow, the servant will make an appointment with that girl. When the time comes, the servant will definitely follow what His Highness said."

Xuanyuan Ling suppressed the disgust in his eyes, turned around, and took out a few banknotes from under the desk, "Take these and spend them, as long as things are done, if there is this king in the future, there will be yours, a prince's mansion." The position of the general manager is really inferior, there is always a better position waiting for you!"

Butler Qiu's eyes turned green when he saw the banknotes. Hearing the promise made by the other party, he quickly knelt down and thanked him, "Little one takes orders, and I will definitely do my best for His Highness!"

"Take this sachet. Give it to her tomorrow, and tell her to hang it up. Only when it's hung up well can it be effective. Do you understand?" Xuanyuan threw it to Steward Qiu and stretched his embroidery The purse with the peony in it is exquisite in workmanship and has a faint medicinal fragrance.

"The villain understands, the villain understands." Steward Qiu is so shrewd, how can he not understand the meaning behind his words.

After receiving the order, Butler Qiu withdrew quickly.

Not long after, Shangguan Yun'er's personal maid stood outside and reported, "Your Highness, Madam asked you when you will return to the courtyard to rest. If your Highness needs to be late to deal with business, Madam will ask the small kitchen to make some snacks for you."

Xuanyuanling's tense expression was relieved moment by moment, "Understood, tell Madam, I won't be preparing supper, my king will pass by soon."

Shangguan Yun'er's sincerity towards him couldn't be more true, infatuated and virtuous.Every time Xuanyuan Ling thought of those beauties in his mansion, none of them could compare to Shangguan Yun'er's sincerity towards him.

So these women, what they admire is only his identity, his wealth, and they do everything possible to attract his attention and climb into his bed, isn't it for their own status!

Rubbing the sore forehead, he washed off the human skin mask with the cold water in the room, revealing Xuanyuan Ling's face.

In the past few nights, he has been facing Shangguan Yun'er with his true face.

Since it was the woman he had slept with the most, he naturally didn't want his woman and treated him as someone else, it had nothing to do with love, it was purely a man's pride.

Before Xuanyuan Ling went out, the study rang again, this time, it was Shu Liangdi's maid.

"Your Highness, the master asked the servant to ask you, do you want to go to the side hall to rest? The master knows that His Highness has worked hard these days, and said that he wants to personally relieve His fatigue!"

Shu Liangdi asked the maid to say this just to lure Xuanyuanling over.

In the inner courtyard of this deep house, if a woman, a concubine, is not favored by her husband, her long night will be longer and more lonely.

Therefore, after having a chance, Shu Liangdi became more courageous.

She was interested, but Xuanyuan Ling was tired of playing. Sure enough, a woman with a chest and no brains like Shu Liangdi is only suitable for a warm bed. If it is too warm, it will make people disgusted.

Xuanyuan Ling has been wandering around the flowers for so many years, she has never seen any kind of woman, she has never played with this kind of woman, this Shu Liangdi has eaten it once, and the freshness is gone.

After being urged several times in succession, Xuanyuan Ling was already very annoyed, "Going back to your master, the king is only resting in the princess palace today, so don't bother her if she has nothing to do, the king is tired!"

The maid looked at the door of the study, knowing that after going back, she would inevitably be punished again, and at the same time, she was also puzzled.

After the prince came back from the palace, he seemed to have changed, and she couldn't tell what was different.

Back in the Qingyuan where Shu Liangdi was, the maid truthfully repeated what the prince said to the master.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Shu Liangdi became furious, without saying a word, she slapped the girl hard on the face, "It's useless, I told you to invite His Highness, but you didn't even say a word." It’s not good to spread it, it’s so useless, it’s better to sell you, hum!”

She doesn't have to sleep with Tang Hao, it's just that those stinky women laughed at her for falling out of favor, and used words to run her down if they had nothing to do. Luckily, she was able to conceive the little prince, although the child... don't mention it. .

The maid knelt on the ground, she didn't dare to move, she didn't even dare to lift her head, for fear of saying a wrong word and causing the master to beat her.

Shu Liangdi paced the room, thinking of Shangguan Yun'er's fight for favor, thinking of her sleeping every night, in case she was really lucky and pregnant with the emperor's heir one day, this...

Thinking of this, Shu Liangdi suddenly stopped in her tracks, "The flowers in the crown prince's courtyard are not as good as last year, so we have to find someone to replant them. Tomorrow you go out of the mansion and go back to my mother's house, and you say you want to give it to the crown princess. A few pots of beautiful peonies must be the best, understand?"

"Yes, the servant knows!"

Shu Liangdi stared at the flickering candle, narrowing her eyes slightly.She has no child, and no one can conceive her!
That night, Mu Xiang slept very late.

Knowing that Bai Ying went to send her a message, if he was quick, he should be back tomorrow morning.

So this night, she always sleeps for a while, and then wakes up with a start.

Hearing the shaking of branches and the occasional rustling sound, one would think it was a white eagle flying back.

She didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, the back door of Prince Xiang's Mansion opened quietly.

Cao'er doesn't go to the morning market every morning, there are naturally dedicated people to do the buying and selling in Prince Xiang's Mansion, and her main job every day is to wash and scrub.

Compared with her work outside, she lived a very comfortable life in Prince Xiang's Mansion overall.

But people's hearts are not enough, there are always some people, she can't bear the ordinary life, and insists on doing something.

At the edge of the small river in the early morning, no one would come to the several gazebos.

Cao'er straddled the basket furtively, looked around for no one, then dodged and entered the river pavilion farthest from Prince Xiang's mansion.

There were a few big trees planted next to the pavilion, which happened to cover the pavilion tightly, and it was impossible to see clearly if you didn't get close.

As soon as Cao'er stepped into the pavilion, she hadn't let go of her heart when suddenly, someone grabbed her wrist.With another tug, the whole person fell into the arms of a dry old man full of tobacco smell.

This smell made her want to vomit. In comparison, her parents' smell was much better.

Steward Qiu saw her frowning, and a trace of anger flashed across her lustful face, "Aren't you happy? Do you dislike me for getting old? Hmph, why didn't you dislike me the first time I was with you? Take what I gave you Didn't see you dislike it?"

Her own greed was torn apart by someone, Cao'er's face was a little pale, but because the sky was still dark, he didn't let him see it.

She struggled, trying to escape from Steward Qiu's arms, "If you have something to do with me, then just tell me directly, I can't stay here for long, if anyone sees it, we both will suffer."

Butler Qiu grabbed her and refused to let her go, letting her struggle, "What are you afraid of? Who would run here this early in the morning, little girl, let's see what this is."
