Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 174 It's Just Her, I'm Married
Caixiu, the grand maid of the Yingxia Palace, entered the Yingxia Palace from the outside, and then hurriedly entered the inner hall.

When she saw Huai Shu, she saluted and said, "Princess, this servant has found out clearly that the person who inserted the hairpin at Princess Huaiqing's Fifth Lunar Ceremony invited Miss Jiang Jinyan."

After hearing this, Huai Shu threw down the Go piece in her hand, and said bitterly: "Jiang Jinyan? What kind of thing is she, the hairpin inserter at the royal evening ceremony? She also deserves it?! Miss Huang is confused?"

Caixiu hurriedly said: "Princess, she is the future Mrs. Zhen Guohou. Presumably the eldest princess Huaiqing wants to win her over?"

Huai Shu pushed the chess game away, looked at the chaotic chess game, and said angrily, "Mrs. Zhen Guohou...Hmph, she has a good idea!"

Caixiu didn't dare to answer, so she had to stand aside and wait.

Huai Shu thought of what she said to Mu Nan last time, and became thoughtful.

What if the person who inserted the hairpin at the evening ceremony in Huaiqing did something that insulted the face of the royal family during the evening ceremony?

That killed two birds with one stone, it not only brushed Huai Qing's face, but also cured Jiang Jinyan!

She called out slowly: "Caixiu."

Caixiu hurriedly replied: "Princess, please tell me."

Huai Shulang said in a loud voice: "Go and invite Ben Gong's brother, I just said that Ben Gong is not feeling well and wants to see him."

Caixiu naturally understood and left Yingxia Palace in a hurry, and left the palace after reporting.

At this time, in Duanwang Mansion, Zhou Chengrui and Mu Nan were sitting opposite each other, and a pot of pear blossoms on the table was overflowing with fragrance.

Mu Nan's embroidered and carved silk Ruicao Yunyan gown with wide sleeves and double silk satin luan is a Ming dynasty.

Zhou Chengrui poured a glass of warm wine for her, "Nan'er, I have already handed over all the people under my command to you, are you satisfied?"

Mu Nan smiled like a flower, took the glass of wine, and took a sip, "There are a lot of good wines in Luoyang, and Mu Nan's trip is worth it."

The pear blossoms are not strong, but the fragrance is mellow.

She raised her eyebrows, "I didn't expect the prince to be so ruthless this time. Could it be that... the prince also has grudges with this town?"

Of course, I didn't expect that the King Duan made such a large amount of money, and it seemed that he wanted to trap Xu Junyan even more than himself!
Zhou Chengrui took a sip of the wine in the jade cup, his smile remained the same, "What is it for Nan'er, what is this king for?"

Mu Nan smiled slightly, "I heard that Concubine Li intends to betroth Miss Jiang to the lord, but I didn't expect that... Xu Junyan, the marquis of the town, was the one who came first. After all, Miss Jiang is an unparalleled beauty in the world, lord Just give in like this?"

Zhou Chengrui lowered his eyes, "Oh? I just heard about a rare incident. My Majesty seems to have rejected Nan'er's marriage request a while ago. What's the matter? Nan'er won't tell this king that it's a joke, right?"

Mu Nan's smile narrowed, "My lord, what does this mean?"

Zhou Chengrui added a glass of wine for her with a smile, "I don't mean anything malicious, I just think it's worthless for Nan'er... Besides, isn't the person I want to have very much involved with Nan'er's reluctance? You Isn't it a matter of course for me to cooperate?"

Mu Nan thought about it for a while, and then he recovered his smile, "Your lord, that's what you mean. Mu Nan is not very smart, but he almost misunderstood."

Zhou Chengrui shook his finger slightly, "No, in my eyes, Nan'er is very smart..."

At this time, Yan Rang was standing in the corridor beside him and reported: "My lord! The colorful embroidery of Yingxia Palace is asking to see you."

Zhou Chengrui frowned slightly, "But what did you say?"

Yan Rang shook his head, "No, she only said that she wanted to see the prince in person, and she said it was the meaning of His Royal Highness the Princess."

When Mu Nan heard that it was the Palace of Shadows, he got up and said, "Since Princess Huaishu has something to do, Mu Nan should avoid it first. After all, the people in the Palace of Shadows know Mu Nan."

Zhou Chengrui stood up and said gently, "That's fine, I will send Nan'er out."

Mu Nan turned around and looked at the man.

Under his extremely gentle face, there is an unfathomable undercurrent in his eyes...

The colorful embroidery in the flower hall was already waiting impatiently, and when they saw Zhou Chengrui, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen the colorful embroidery in Yingxia Palace, I have met King Duan."

Zhou Chengrui nodded, "There's no need to be polite, why did Huai Shu call you to come here?"

Caixiu thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "The princess wants to invite you into the palace, it's about Princess Guan Qing's fifth day of the evening ceremony."

Zhou Chengrui's expression froze, "Oh?"

Caixiu added: "Today, the princess heard that Miss Jiang is going to be the hairpin holder of Princess Huaiqing, so she sent a servant to invite you."

This means that this matter has something to do with Jiang Jinyan.

After saying this, Zhou Chengrui became interested instead.

My imperial sister hates Jiang Jinyan so much, what do you want to do this time?
"Go back to the palace first, the king will go later."

Caixiu hurriedly saluted and retreated.

Zhou Chengrui thought of Wen Chunxiao in the harem, and said sternly, "Yan Rang, send someone to the branch to inform Wen Gui, I'm going to Yingxia Palace today, so I can see her..."

"Yes, the villain knows." Yan Rang hurriedly nodded and retreated.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chengrui, who had entered the palace, dismissed the little eunuch who was leading the way, and slowly walked towards Yingxia Palace.

Turning around a corridor, Zhou Chengrui met Wen Chunxiao in a pink navy cape.

Wen Chunxiao's body was extravagant, and the pearl hairpins on her head were also extremely dazzling. Her makeup was neither thick nor light, but rather endearing.

Zhou Chengrui nodded slightly, "Your gentleman is well."

Wen Chunxiao also bowed his head and made a half-respect, "I have seen His Royal Highness Duan Wang."

Zhou Chengrui said softly: "This king is going to Yingxia Palace, I don't know your nobleman..."

Wen Chunxiao hurriedly replied, "I'm also going to Yingxia Hall to see Princess Huaishu."

Zhou Chengrui made a gesture of invitation, "That's the way to go."

Wen Chunxiao turned his head and said to Meng Yun who was beside him: "I remembered, the boss said that the embroidery should be given to Princess Huai Shu and forgot to take it, you go back and get it."

"Yes, I'm going now, servant girl." Meng Yun understood, turned around and left.

When there were only two of them left, Zhou Chengrui asked with a smile: "How is He Guiren?"

Wen Chunxiao smiled slightly, but his tone was full of reproach, "I finally met the prince, why does the prince only care about others?"

Zhou Chengrui gradually smiled, "Now that Chunxiao is flying on a high branch, do you still think about me?"

"What is the prince saying? If Chunxiao didn't come for the prince, how could he enter the palace? The prince is complaining about Chunxiao now?"

As she said that, she drooped her eyes and sealed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Zhou Chengrui sighed softly, "It's my king who is useless, and I want Chun Xiao to do these things for me..."

As he spoke, he wiped away Wen Chunxiao's tears with his sleeve, "When the king's event is over, Chunxiao will be allowed to stay by my king's side in a legitimate way."

Wen Chunxiao glanced at the man, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overwhelm her.

She nodded, "Chunxiao remembers what the prince said."

As she said that, she said to Zhou Chengrui: "Everything is fine with Mr. He, Mr. He has no doubts about me now."

Zhou Chengrui nodded slightly, "Next, you find a way to get the Holy Majesty's medicine case."

Wen Chunxiao took half a step back, "My lord, if the Holy Majesty finds out about this, it's...a capital crime..."

Zhou Chengrui stroked her hair, lowered his head and pressed his lips to her forehead, "This king is reluctant for Chunxiao to die for this king, don't worry, this king has already taken care of Chunxiao."

An hour later, Zhou Chengrui left the palace with a sullen face.

Huai Shu's meaning is clearly revealed, while dealing with Huai Qing, Jiang Jinyan must be brought down.

The fifth day of the new year... It seems that I have to go and see this play.

At this time, in the private room in Shixiang Tower, Fang Lijin was listening to the little song, stroking the rim of the cup with his fingers.

Beside her was a charming and gorgeous woman in a red shirt, with a round fan in her hand, she turned around to the rhythm of the music and was already in front of Fang Lijin.

She bent down and poured a glass of wine, and whispered in Fang Lijin's ear: "Li Ling and King Duan are next door."

As she spoke, she smiled coquettishly, as if charming the man in front of her.

Fang Lijin glanced at the sights behind Qinghong who kept looking over, and swept Qinghong over, "Dare to provoke me? I want you to look good today!"

As he spoke, he carried Qing Hong into the inner room.

The musicians and dancers outside left the room one after another.

When there was no movement outside the bead curtain, Fang Lijin leaned on the head of the bed and said seriously, "What's wrong? What are Li Ling and King Duan talking about?"

Qinghong got up and straightened her clothes, shook her head slightly, "I only heard a little bit, it seems that the two of them mentioned the fifth day of the lunar new year."

Fang Lijin frowned, "The fifth day?"

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is a great day in Luoyang City, the day when the eldest princess Huaiqing married the eldest son of the Lanling Xiao family!

"What does the king want to do?"

Qinghong smiled and said: "What does the second young master care about his royal affairs? Li Ling is involved, and the second young master hastened to seize this opportunity at this time? If the Li family does something, the royal family or the Wang family will be taboo The matter of the second young master...then the second young master's major matter has become half of it?"

Fang Lijin's mouth twitched, "Miss Qinghong can see clearly."

Qinghong sat in front of the dressing table by herself, her smile undiminished, "I can't see through your beautiful wife who has never been married, so what should I do? Second young master, have you prepared a divorce letter? Or is it the marriage?" Is it time to leave?"

Fang Lijin's smile grew stronger, "I will not withdraw from this marriage."

Qing Hong was slightly taken aback, "What are you going to do? Did Miss Li offend you so much? Don't let her go like this?"

Fang Lijin lowered his eyes, "The Li family must fall, but I'm determined to marry her."

Qinghong shook her head helplessly, "I don't care about your private affairs, and I don't understand your men's thoughts..."

Fang Lijin returned to his original playful smile in an instant, "Oh? Can't understand a man's mind? This is not what Qinghong girl should say. I see that there is no more popular than Qinghong girl in the Ten Fragrance Tower. It's..."

Qinghong removed the golden hairpin from her hair, and said leisurely: "Don't bury me, in this world controlled by no one, it is extremely difficult for me to protect myself."

Fang Lijin nodded slightly, "Don't worry, no one dares to touch you. The master of Shixianglou probably has no time to take care of this place now."

"how do I say this?"

Fang Lijin looked at the dark purple curtain and his smile grew stronger. He hooked his finger on the edge of the curtain, "Since there is a big show on the fifth day of the lunar new year, who still thinks about Fenlou?"
