Red makeup against the world

Chapter 153
King Qi often came and went in the Princess Mansion, and was very familiar with these maids of Princess Zhaoyang.Bai Shao turned around to pay respects, said: "The maid sent Miss Xu away and was going to answer the princess."

"Miss Xu? But Tu Shanchang's great-granddaughter?"

Bai Shao was surprised in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, and replied respectfully: "Exactly, so His Royal Highness King Qi also knows it."

After helping Xu Wanzhen in Nanshi that day, seeing that Fan Bin was interested in her, King Qi made some inquiries and learned about the recent situation of Xu's family.I never expected to meet her again in the princess mansion. It seems that this Xu Wan is really capable, able to walk in front of the imperial sister.

Princess Zhaoyang stood leaning against a railing in the gazebo by the lake, holding a white porcelain spoon in her hand, scooped out fish food from the jar held by Yuegui, and sprinkled it into the lake.All kinds of koi competed to be the first to jump out of the water from time to time, and the water droplets splashed from their tails reflected colorful rays of light in the sun.

Seeing Qi Wang Anbu coming in a carriage, Mu Jin stepped forward to salute and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness Qi Wang."

Princess Zhaoyang turned her head when she heard the sound, and smiled brightly at King Qi, saying, "It turns out that the emperor brother is here."

This smile is very attractive, King Qi joked: "My little sister has grown into a beautiful woman, I don't know what kind of man can get the blue eyes of the imperial sister?"

Speaking of her marriage, Princess Zhaoyang said generously: "It will never be the King of Khitan." She knew her mission when she urinated, and she was not surprised that her father asked her to get married.Now she is sixteen years old, mature physically and mentally, and has her own yearning for love, but she has not met the man who made her fall in love.

Speaking of Khitan, King Qi frowned and said: "The Khitan king is dead, we must try to annul this engagement."

"How can the marriage contract between the two countries be voided so easily? You don't have to worry about me, brother. It would be unwise to offend my father. If I really want to go to Khitan one day, I will go there calmly." Princess Zhaoyang said calmly.

In this regard, King Qi could only sigh.The emperor father has a cruel temperament, and he doesn't love Empress Cao. Her natal family Dingguo Gongfu keeps its own law and restrains its light.

The prince's lineage is full of arrogance, if one day he successfully ascends the throne, how can they survive?The three brothers and sisters, King Qi, Princess Zhaoyang, and King Chu, hid secretly and worked hard, but right now, there is a good time.

"There is news from the south of the Yangtze River that King Qianyang disappeared in a fire, and his life and death are unknown. The crown prince cut off his wings. Brother, do you want to attack?" Princess Zhaoyang asked.

King Qi pondered and said: "I came here just for this. Regardless of life or death, King Qianyang will never appear again, and only the prince is left. But the prince has many followers, and I always feel that the king of Qianyang will not appear this time. Someone is manipulating behind the riot, I am afraid that the abandoned crown princess will not be safe in the imperial temple."

Princess Zhaoyang said: "The imperial concubine Jiang was abolished, and the emperor will never forget her."

King Qi smiled wryly, the Royal Ancestral Temple was under the jurisdiction of the Clan Mansion, and it was full of his father's manpower, he didn't dare to put eyeliner inside, no one knew what was going on inside.The Jiang family is the father's rebel, if the Qianyang king's matter is really related to the Jiang family, then the father must know about it, what exactly does the father think?
"What if the prince is involved in the rebellion of King Qianyang? We can cut off some of the prince's gangsters and replace them with ours." Princess Zhaoyang suggested.

King Qi shook his head slowly: "No, let's stop this matter. King Qianyang rebelled, and there is no evidence that he was involved. The prince is the most vigilant at this time. If we attack him at this time, he should have countermeasures. If If the emperor finds out that we are manipulating from behind, the consequences are unpredictable. I am afraid that if you steal the chicken, you will lose the rice, and you will scare the snake."

"Although it's a pity, we are not yet full-fledged. We can't afford to take this risk. It is better to be quiet than to move. In this case, why don't we also plead with the emperor to save the life of Prince Qianyang's son, and show brotherly love."

"So good."

After the brothers and sisters finished discussing the business, King Qi changed his mind and asked with a smile: "By the way, when I came in just now, I saw Tu Shanzhang's great-granddaughter, what is she doing here?"

"Brother Huang also knows Xu Wanzhen?"

King Qi recounted what happened in Nanshi that day, and said: "Then Fan Bin is General Long's adoptive son. I have learned about him. He is young and heroic, and he is valued by General Long. He is like a parent. If Fan Bin can stand on our side , one step closer to being recognized by General Long."

Princess Zhaoyang has an exquisite mind, so how can she not understand what she said?He asked with a smile, "Brother Huang, do you want to match up this marriage?"

King Qi nodded with a smile, tapped the railing lightly with the folding fan in his hand, and said: "Although Xu Wanzhen is the daughter of a merchant, Tu Shanzhang is a great scholar in the world. If Tu Jijiu and Long Zhenxi can take this Wen Yiwu under his command, it will be a big deal It's just around the corner." Speaking of this, King Qi looked into the distance with an eager look in his eyes.

Princess Zhaoyang took a step back, bowed and said: "Sister, hereby wish the emperor all wishes come true."

King Qi laughed and said: "It's too far away, let's talk about this matter first, can the imperial sister help me?"

"Brother Huang, don't worry, sister should do her best."

"Then Xu Wanzhen came here for the case of her father and brother?"

Princess Zhaoyang smiled lightly, and said: "Brother Huang, this is a mistake. She came here because of a letter of recommendation from shopkeeper Zhou. When she was in Yangzhou, she exposed the case of Yin Chengye's disappearance of a woman. Brother Huang Interested in listening?"

"Oh?" Qi Wang said with a folding fan lightly in his hand, "There is another matter, you can tell me."

Princess Zhaoyang told about Xu Wanzhen's deeds in Yangzhou City one by one, and gave the quill pen she presented as a gift to King Qi, saying: "With this thing, we can help more poor students."

King Qi's eyes lit up, this is a good thing.As the saying goes, "It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family", pen, ink, paper and inkstone are expensive, books are even more scarce, and it is difficult for poor families to support a scholar who studies.

With this quill pen, the consumption of pens and paper can be greatly reduced, allowing more students to continue their studies.

The crown prince is the legitimacy of the Gaomang Dynasty, and besides the followers he gathered, he also has a group of important ministers supporting him.King Qi had to find another way to secretly support some talented teenagers for future use.

"Fan Bin and Xu Wanzhen, these two people will not be put in the eyes of the prince, he is fighting for important officials and dignitaries. But we are different, such talents must be recruited." Qi Wangzhi said to Princess Zhaoyang that he must win.

Princess Zhaoyang nodded, and the two siblings leaned on the railing and laughed.

But she said that Xu Wan really left the Princess Mansion, got into the carriage and went straight to "Splendid Story".Not long after the Xu family arrived in the capital, there was a shortage of embroidered women, so they had to start with Shopkeeper Yu.

When it came to "Splendid Embroidery", Shopkeeper Yu welcomed her to the backyard. Xu Wanzhen asked, "Shopkeeper Yu, do you have extra staff for Xiuniang? The silk flower has been approved by the princess, but time is tight and there are not enough staff."

"I don't know how many embroiderers Missy still needs?"

"At least two are needed, and five are safe." Xu Wanzhen reported the manpower she had calculated on the way.

Shopkeeper Yu looked distressed, and said: "Now that Jinxiuji's business has just picked up, at most we can dispatch one more embroiderer, any more will affect the business."
