The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 101
Dali Southern Dianwang Mansion.

At this moment, the palace is full of peace and harmony. At first, everyone thought that the son of the Prince of Southern Dian had died suddenly, but there was good news that the son was rescued in a village. Now he has arrived outside Dali City and he will return soon. Home.

The palace was full of joy. Xie Qianyang, the king of southern Yunnan, and his concubine, Qin Xiangjun, were looking forward to it. Their hearts were hanging in the air. They were really worried that their son hadn't come home yet.

At ten o'clock at noon, I suddenly saw a man riding a horse into the city. Before he arrived at the palace, the man shouted joyfully.

"My lord and concubine, our son is back, the son is back..."

The person who came was none other than Xie Xing who escorted Xie Shaoting all the way back. At this moment, Xie Xing was blushing. He had completed all the tasks assigned by the King of Diannan. Now he just waited for Xie Shaoting to return to the palace, and he could get what he deserved awards and honors.

For Xie Xing, the reward is second. There are no poor people in the Southern Dian Palace's retainers. What he cares more about is honor, the honor of escorting his son home safely.

Different from Xie Xing's happiness, Xie Shaoting was sitting in the carriage bored. It took him more than a month to come back this time. The original ten-day journey took him nearly three times longer.

It's not that he doesn't miss his parents, but that he will face many fake faces when he comes back. Xie Shaoting, who has stayed at Yang Yuanxiang's house for a long time, no longer wants to live the old life anymore.

"Master, we're home, aren't you happy?"

The boy driving the car had a happy face, and opened the curtain to talk to Xie Shaoting.

"Shut your mouth, Grandpa's brain hurts, tell Grandpa to be quiet for a while."

Xie Shaoting half-lyed in the carriage, his long hair as black as a waterfall pouring down, a pair of sword eyebrows flying obliquely into his temples, accompanied by a pair of phoenix eyes, the originally cold man suddenly forcibly became more coquettish.

That's right, Xie Shaoting is the eldest son of South Yunnan. Although South Yunnan is a fief of the prince, since Xie Shaoting's grandfather Xie Qingfeng and the emperor of Kyushu won the world together, this south of Yunnan has always been the fief of the Xie family.

Kyushu did not collect taxes from southern Yunnan, and southern Yunnan has always been ruled by the Xie family. Because the old prince Xie and the emperor of Jiuzhou are brothers with different surnames, the king of southern Yunnan is also among the princes. Not only does he not have to pay taxes every year, the court also has to pay Send a sum of food money.

Although the Xie family is nominally the home of a prince in southern Yunnan, in fact it can be said to be the emperor of southern Yunnan, but one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and a country cannot have two emperors. Therefore, although the Xie family is noble, it is also feared by the Kyushu court. Xie's family has millions of soldiers, almost all the people are soldiers, so even if the emperor of Kyushu is eyeing him, he can't do anything.

But since old prince Xie passed away and Kyushu changed to a new emperor, the situation between the Xie family and Kyushu has become more and more serious. Over the years, the new emperor has been summoning Xie Qianyang to the palace to face the saint. Go, although the situation is tense, it is rare for both sides to be safe.

This time Xie Shaoting was almost killed, and the whole South Yunnan was shaken. After all, Xie Shaoting was the only son of this generation of Southern Yunnan kings.

Fortunately, Xie Shaoting came back in time, and the whole of southern Yunnan heaved a long sigh of relief.

On the other side, a man and a woman met in the back garden of the palace.

"Brother Ping, why is he back?"

The woman clutched the man's hand nervously, with a guilty conscience. She was extremely beautiful, and her name was Meng Changshuang. She was the granddaughter of the old concubine's natal brother in the southern Yunnan palace. Although they were far away, they were close friends since childhood. For marriage, Meng Changshuang is the first-line granddaughter of the Meng family's generation. Because her father died early and the Meng family is a single heir, the Meng family expects her to marry Xie Shaoting in order to cling to the southern Yunnan palace.

It's a pity that Meng Changshuang just fell in love with Xu Pingzhi, the grandson of the Xie family.

Xu Pingzhi's mother was the younger sister of the Southern Dian King's concubine, who married into Prime Minister Xu's family. Although Xu Pingzhi was the eldest son of the second household, he was extremely favored by the Xu family because of his mother, the Diannan Wang's concubine's younger sister, to support him.

"Changshuang, don't mess around. He may not remember that you hurt him. As long as you bite him to death and deny it, Xie Shaoting can't do anything to you. Even if he is the son of the southern Yunnan prince, he can't do anything without evidence. murder."

Meng Changshuang was still trembling with fright, she hugged Xu Pingzhi tightly.

"Brother Ping, I'm already yours. You must not let me go. This time when he comes back, it must be even more difficult for us to be together. Brother Ping, I think we should elope. Far away, so that he can't find us."

When Xu Ping heard this, his face immediately changed. He hooked up with Meng Changshuang to anger Xie Shaoting, so that he could seize the opportunity to seize the Xie family's inheritance rights. At that time, this southern Yunnan palace will become their Xu family's.

After all, Meng Changshuang was Xie Shaoting's fiancée, and after being cuckolded, he didn't believe that Xie Shaoting, who had always been calm, would not lose his temper.

But he didn't expect that Xie Shaoting would come back, nor did he expect that Meng Changshuang would really like him. Xu Pingzhi just used Meng Changshuang to seize power, how could he elope with her?

"Changshuang, are you stupid? We can't leave now. If we leave, won't we look guilty? At that time, Xie Shaoting will find out that we conspired to kill him. Do you think that the whole of southern Yunnan will let us go?" Is it?"

When Meng Changshuang heard this, he burst into tears immediately.

"Then what should I do? Brother Ping, I don't want to marry him, and I'm pregnant now, you have to be responsible, or you can take me back to Beijing. Anyway, your Xu family is the prime minister of Kyushu, and the court has long since tolerated it." In southern Yunnan, we fled to the capital, and the Xie family couldn't catch us."

When Xu Pingzhi heard that Meng Changshuang was pregnant, he immediately threw her away in fright.

"Meng Changshuang, don't rely on me. How do I know if the child in your belly is my child? How could we be pregnant after only a few times? Could it be that you are pregnant with someone's child and want to rely on me?"

Meng Changshuang looked at Xu Pingzhi in disbelief.

"Xu, what are you talking about? Who do you think I am? I, Meng Changshuang, is the eldest daughter of the Meng family, and my great-aunt is the old concubine from southern Yunnan. You are just the second wife of the Xu family. Do I want to rely on you?"

When Xu Ping heard it, he showed a disdainful expression.

"This is true before your father died. Now your elder brother can't make a fortune, so they use you to cling to the Southern Dian Palace. They just want to turn you into another Diannan Princess surnamed Meng. The machine is climbing to the south of Yunnan, do you really think of yourself as a green onion?"

Hearing the harsh and mean words of her former lover, Meng Changshuang's heart suddenly ached. She realized now that Xu Pingzhi approached her only to destroy herself and Xie Shaoting, so that he could profit from it.
