Beautiful step by step

Chapter 128

It can be said that the matter between King Duan and Wu Shangshu's daughter-in-law completely caught Wei Wei by surprise.

Ever since Yan Heng in the capital city was promoted to Liangzhou Wei Zhenfu and received a secret order to investigate the military strength in the Northwest, she knew that she and the Wu family were completely on opposite sides, and she had to fight to the death.Now that he has gone through many hardships and dangers, seeing that the situation is about to fall to one side, something like this suddenly happened.

No matter who forced who, it would always be a disadvantage for the girl's family to tell this kind of thing.Even if Prince Duan is willing to kill his relatives righteously and attack his future wives, Emperor Qinglong and Concubine Shu have the heart to wrong their son so much?There is no need to completely dismiss the crime of corruption, just relax a little bit to keep the Wu family alive.With the Wu family's 20 years of influence in the Northwest, a counterattack would be enough for Yan Heng and her.

"How could such a thing happen?"

Wei Wei sighed, and the nine princesses next to her also sighed again and again.

Originally, Princess Jiu was not that worried. Although she was a little bit in love with her brother, she subconsciously didn't want a woman to compete with her for her brother's attention, especially a hypocritical woman.But she has always been favored by many people, and she has been used to all kinds of pretending concubines in the harem since she was a child, and she is not very repulsive to the future Princess Duan.

But that was a month ago. During this month, she followed her father all the way west and met many cheerful women.Especially Ah Mao, who had just sternly condemned the governor of Chu, gave her a refreshing feeling.As a younger sister, she has spent the longest time with her elder brother, and no one understands his elder brother's thoughts better than her.He wanted to marry a girl he liked as his concubine. At first, she didn't understand her brother's standards, but what she had seen and heard along the way made her feel a little bit.

The same mother, she and her brother have surprisingly similar hobbies.In all fairness, she also likes cheerful girls, not 1 people who are guessing all day long.

She has met Wu Shangshu's first daughter, she seems to be straightforward, but she is actually selfish.Xu is a temper developed in the Northwest for many years. She will definitely do everything possible to grab what she likes, and her domineering level is even more domineering than her few aunts who are notorious for the eldest princess.

"Hey...how could it be her. If it were Ah Tong, my concubine mother and I would be absolutely happy."

Ah Tong frowned: "Your Highness Ninth Princess, don't make fun of me."

"I'm telling the truth..." Seemingly aware of her slip of the tongue, Princess Ninth hurriedly changed her words: "I'm not going to make an analogy, I won't talk about Ah Mao once she's married, both you and A Luo are much better than Wu Shangshu's prostitute daughter. "

Ah Luo, who was mentioned, nodded with deep empathy: "Wu Shangshu's daughter, His Royal Highness Duan Wang is still...seeking good fortune for himself."

She said the last four words very softly, but the other three people around the stove heard them clearly.

Wei Wei changed his mind, Wu Shangshu had been a general in the Northwest for many years, it seems that this prostitute grew up in Liangzhou as well.That being the case, Ah Luo, who is also in Liangzhou, should have had a lot of contact with her.

"Ah Luo, who is the daughter of Wu Shangshu family's prostitute?"

Looking around at the three of them, Ah Luo said with emotion: "The word 'sacred' is used well, Ah Ying is a godlike woman."

Wei Wei finally knew the name of the daughter of Wu Shangshu's family, Ah Ying, she seemed to have heard of it somewhere.After hearing Ah Luo's next sentence, she finally remembered who it was.

"The newly born children here are afraid that they will not be able to support them, so they usually marry a humble name and wait until they are five or six years old, when they should enter school, before they officially take their real names. That's when Aying's name was given, because she looks exactly like His father, Lord Shangshu, loves him especially, and it is said that he named him after a great man in Jingzhong. I heard from the servants around my mother that it seems to be the name of the new Marquis of Zhenbeihou, who used to be in charge of the Northwest."

It was the current Zhenbei Hou Chuying who looked at Princess Nine and saw the clarity in her eyes, and obviously understood.

The emperor of the Whip Dynasty even changed the names of all his brothers to avoid taboos.The more important people are, the more they are replaced by various honorific titles. A prostitute of the Wu family dared to hit the taboo of Zhenbeihou's name.

"It turns out that more than ten years ago, the Wu family's domineering heart was already so obvious. But she can't decide on a name, so it's not too surprising."

Ah Luo nodded and continued: "The name of the Chu family is very famous in the Northwest, and what is equally famous is the standard for the Chu family to train future generations. Today, the boxing techniques taught in the Northwest Army are passed down from the Chu family. And Ah Ying is even more famous. With this standard, I strictly demand myself, and I am proficient in bow, horse, riding and shooting, and I have not fallen behind in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Speaking of this, Ah Luo felt a little ashamed: "The reason why I know so clearly is because my mother once spent a lot of money to ask the female masters of the Wu family to teach me. Those masters revealed the meaning clearly and secretly, compared to the Wu family's Ah Ying. I'm just stupid and unprogressive, and I'm useless."

The Ninth Princess sneered: "Don't think so, Ah Luo. My father often said that to be a teacher, you must first cultivate yourself a few times. A master who can say such things, no matter how talented or learned, his character is not worthy of being a teacher."

Ah Luo's eyes lit up, and his face was full of approval when he met his bosom friend.

"And it's not that I haven't met the daughter of the Wu family's concubine. Her talent is just superficial, and she is far behind my cousin."

Wei Wei laughed and said, "Ah Yi's cousin is the prostitute of the Marquis of Wenshi. Before she got married, she was the most talented woman in the capital. How can ordinary people compare with her?"

Ah Tong, who was a little embarrassed just now, also raised his head now: "I have also heard from my grandfather that every girl raised by the Mansion of Literature and History is excellent in both talent and character. Our family still has a book of literature and history. The booklet of the Goddess of the Hou Mansion, the original copy is kept in a treasure, and all I see are handwritten copies."

Ninth Princess looked surprised: "A Tong has seen it too? No wonder the mother and concubine are so speculative with you."

Ah Tong nodded shyly: "Ms. Concubine Shu is a rich woman, gentle and elegant. It is really a blessing for Ah Tong to have a conversation with her."

"That has to be able to talk to her. Mother and concubine usually love reading books, and my grandfather's family has used the numbers listed in the ancestral booklets for enlightenment since they were young. There are not only "24 History", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", There are also many folk arts and story books."

Ah Tong nodded, and then she continued: "That's it, I remember the first sentence in the booklet is: Readers, be a man first, and then seek knowledge."

The ninth princess was a little excited: "Yes, yes, that's it. That's why I said that Mrs. Wu is far worse than my cousin. In terms of being a human being, forcing my brother to drink in broad daylight is a trick that won't work."

Speaking of this, she grabbed the hair on her ears with both hands, with a troubled look on her face: "Oh, it's so annoying, my brother was taught too well, and he won't shirk responsibility at all. He is the son of the emperor, and he is serious. Prince, even if this happened, even if he doesn’t admit it, what can others do to him! I’d rather him not admit it, and be scolded by others, than marry such a princess. What should I do if my nephew and niece also have that virtue."

Unexpectedly, the ninth princess thought so far, Wei Wei laughed out loud.

"I'm almost dying of worry, Ah Mao, you're still laughing."

Said angrily, Princess Nine hit her itchy waist.

Wei Wei hurriedly dodged, with a tense face: "Ayi, I want to ask you something seriously."

"kindness?"

Ayi's hand still maintains an offensive posture, her expression is full of threats.The meaning is very clear: If you dare to lie to me, then wait to accept the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

"I wonder how His Royal Highness Duan's wine tastes?"

"Wine," Jiu Gongzhu was deep in thought: "My brother likes everything that tastes good, but he usually just drinks lightly."

"Did you ever get drunk?"

"It seems... no." The ninth princess hesitated, "No, I remembered. Last year, the little nephew of the elder brother's family was full moon. He was drunk when he went to congratulate him. He fell asleep when he came back that time."

Fall asleep?
Wei Wei's expression fell into deep thought, she thought this was really a drunken mess.Although Duan Wang was framed by others, he did do something.But if, according to the nine princesses, one starts to fall asleep when drunk, what else can a person who is asleep do?
Will there be such a possibility?Duan Wang is completely innocent from beginning to end.

From the flash of inspiration when he just thought of "bitch" to now, Wei Wei followed the three of them to make jokes about Wu Shangshu's concubine's daughter.Now thinking of this possibility, her thoughts began to gradually clear up.

"Did cousin think of something?"

Hearing Ah Tong's question, Wei Wei nodded, staring at Princess Nine seriously, she said slowly: "A Yi said that she doesn't want this sister-in-law, but I have a way."

"Speak quickly."

Seeing Princess Jiu walking up to her with eagerness on her face, Wei Wei leaned over to her ear and whispered something softly.

"This... No, no, how can this be!"

Wei Wei sneered: "I finally understand why His Royal Highness Duan Wang will be plotted against, but I can't accept a scheme that does not cause any real harm. You are so kind. Hey, you just wait for Wu to be your sister-in-law and ride on your shoulders." Be domineering on your head for the rest of your life."

After being provoked by her, Ayi stretched her neck to be brave: "That's it, whoever is afraid of whom!"

"It's the puppy who regretted it?"

Ayi hooked her finger: "Okay, I will go back with my concubine... no, find the Azure Dragon Guard next to the emperor, and tell my brother about it."

After she finished speaking, she raised the curtain, and rushed back with her skirt in her hands.As Emperor Qinglong's most beloved daughter, Ayi originally had a Qinglong Guard by her side.This was the first time she gave an order, Qinglongwei did not dare to be negligent, and rushed to the capital without stopping, and within five days they would see King Duan.

The matter between him and Wu Ying happened on the night after he ordered Qinglongwei to pass the news of Du Shangshu to the northwest.He was dazed when he woke up the next morning, but he couldn't relax for a moment about checking the accounts.Although there are Duchamp's account books, all accounts have to be reconciled.When she was very busy, Wu Ying adopted a pressing strategy of man-marking, and the Wu family also put pressure on her.

Just like this, the candle burned at both ends, and he could hardly hold it anymore.If someone had proposed this to him on the day when the incident happened, he would definitely refuse it without even thinking about it.A manly man dares to act, he has his own bottom line, and he will not easily frame others.But now under the anxiety, he just wanted to get rid of this person as soon as possible.

"Just do it."

Duan Wang nodded, Qinglongwei was in charge of arranging the manpower.

Before night fell, rumors about Wu Shangshu's daughter-in-law eating and sleeping with the soldiers in the northwest, and wandering around in wine shops after returning to Beijing, have spread to every corner of the capital with the evening smoke.
