Princess Regent

Chapter 187
"It is our blessing to be received by the princess." Zhao Ru'er said with a smile, showing the demeanor of a daughter of a family.

"Sister Ru'er, do you want to perform a nice dance too?" Xiao Lezi asked while lying on the table, blinking her eyes.

How could Zhao Ru'er refuse, saying: "The little prince doesn't dislike it, but the little girl will show her shame."

"Sister Ru'er is not ugly!" Xiao Lezi didn't hear the deeper meaning, but he understood the literal meaning, with a small chin and a sense of arrogance.

Shangguan Erlan couldn't laugh or cry, this silly boy.It's really chicken and duck talking, it doesn't make sense!
"Ru'er dedicates this shocking dance to the little prince."

Well, everyone heard it right, what she said was dedicated to Xiao Lezi, not the regent on the stage, or a certain prince.All the girls of the aristocratic family, don't worry, as long as they don't come to snatch people from them, it's fine.Of course, it would be even better if it was aimed at the regent.What the Prince Regent lacks most is women, and the princess is also generous in this regard, so there should be no problems.

However, they did not expect that Zhao Ru'er's dancing skills were so advanced that they were amazed. Looking at the woman standing up in the center of the hall, she snatched their gaze away.

At the same time, at a certain moment on the tree, someone also looked at Zhao Ru'er, dumbfounded...

At the end of the dance, Shangguan Erlan took the lead in clapping her palms, and Xiao Lezi next to her was even more energetic and clapped her little hands high, almost shouting loudly.

"Shocking dance, it's really shocking." She praised.

"According to legend, this dance was choreographed by an infatuated woman for the one she loves, with infinite tenderness and love. It's a pity that Ru'er doesn't understand the true meaning of love. This dance is not perfect." Zhao Ru'er said with a sigh.She is not like some young ladies who like to practice and strengthen themselves.Compared with these, her hobbies are more inclined to female celebrities, playing music, dancing, these are her favorite things to do.Every song and every dance has its meaning, and she likes to slowly understand the meaning.

"The princess in this book wishes Miss Zhao to find her beloved as soon as possible."

"Thank you, princess."

Zhao Ru'er was very exciting as the last finale. After she returned to her seat and sat down, Shangguan took a look at the man next to him. Seeing that he hadn't moved yet, he asked Xi Jinfeng and Xi Jinlin who were below: "How can you two?" Got a girl you like?"

Xi Jinlin stood up from his seat, and the woman who liked him held his breath at the same time, hoping that he would say his name next.

However, after Xi Jinlin stood up, he said, "Sister-in-law, it's the first time we've met many young ladies, so when it comes to liking, how much can we like?" If he likes it at first sight, then if he likes both, can he marry them all back home?
"One has to be chosen." Shangguan Erlan reminded.

"I remember what the emperor's wife told me a few days ago, asking me to marry a woman I like. Now I don't like that one, is the emperor's wife going to honor her words?" Xi Jinlin asked with a smile. He knew that she would not will refuse.

Shangguan Erlan did not answer directly, but asked Xi Jinfeng, "Where is King Rong?"

Xi Jinfeng stood up, and said respectfully, "This king has someone he likes."

Hearing this, many women held their breath, and Chu Xiangliu also looked at Xi Jinfeng expectantly, without blinking her eyes.

"Oh? Who?"

Xi Jinfeng didn't think too much, and said cautiously: "It's the second lady of the Chu family, Chu Xiangliu."

When Chu Xiangliu heard him say his name, bursts of joy flowed from the bottom of his heart.Xi Jinfeng is not as good as the Prince Regent, but he is indeed the most prominent among the many princes. She knows that the Prince Regent is not a good man, so her eyes are always on Xi Jinfeng.There are no bad habits, there are very few women in the backyard, and their cultivation is not bad. Such a man is really good.

Liu's was the happiest among them, with the corners of her lips hooked, for fear that others would not know that Prince Rong kissed her daughter.

Xi Jinlin took a look at Xi Jinfeng, knowing that Shangguan Erlan didn't like this Chu Xiangliu, yet he wanted to marry her, what was he playing?

Shangguan Erlan looked at Chu Xiangliu, then at Xi Jinfeng who was expressionless, and believed that Xi Jinfeng did not have too much affection for Chu Xiangliu, and the reason was that it was appropriate and compatible.If Nalan An was among these women at the moment, Xi Jinfeng might not have chosen Chu Xiangliu, but Na Lan An.But if anyone wants her to snatch Nalan An away, there is only one Chu Xiangliu left.

"Is King Rong sure?" she asked.

"determine."

Xi Jinye also opened his eyes at this moment, looking at Xi Jinfeng below, without the slightest intention of reproach.

Shangguan Erlan cried and said, "What should I do? It stands to reason that King Rong likes Chu Xiangliu, and with her own cultivation and physique, this princess has nothing to worry about. But... "Her eyes wandered around Chu Xiangliu, saw the daze in her eyes, and said with a smile: "But her background is not good, King Rong is a high-ranking prince, how can he marry a concubine to be his concubine? .”

The words "concubine daughter" hit Chu Xiangliu on the top of her head, making her very angry!Xi Luoyun also frowned, do you want to use this to prevent Liu'er from marrying the prince?
"What concubine, my Liu'er is the concubine of the Chu family!" Mrs. Liu got up and said angrily. What she hates the most in her life is that others say she is a concubine. If Chu Xiangliu is a concubine, isn't she a concubine? ?She is now a wife!Although she was a head shorter than her original wife, she was also a regular wife!
There was another burst of silence in the hall, with various states of mind.

They can almost guess that the princess and the Chu family have already broken up, and that Chu Xiangliu wants to marry the prince, it really depends on whether the princess is willing.This will hinder, and it is also expected by them.

Shangguan Erlan smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, you were promoted to the position of equal wife only a year ago, and Chu Xiangliu became the first daughter of the Chu family only a year ago. A woman who was raised as a concubine , even if she has the title of daughter-in-law now, she is still a daughter-in-law taught by my concubine!"

A sentence taught by my concubine made Liu's head dizzy and almost fainted from anger.

Chu Xiangliu couldn't bear it anymore, this was the first time she was stimulated and beaten in front of everyone.She stood up, her eyes were red, as if she had been subjected to inhuman abuse, and she said: "Princess, I admit that I was a little self-willed and treated you badly before, but you can't fall into trouble like this. King Rong chose me." , You just say that I am a concubine born to a concubine. My mother has been a concubine for more than ten years, and I was born by her. I can’t choose to be born alone. Why does the princess make fun of me at this time? This situation!"

She said it sadly, people who don't understand may think that Shangguan Erlan used her power for personal gain.

In front of the regent and many people, it was impossible for Chu Xiangliu to directly send herself to the knife's edge.She can't be disrespectful to her. At this moment, she must be the victim. Although everyone may not believe it, this is a superficial issue.She did a good job, so she won't attract criticism.

"My concubine is just stating a fact, why should you be wronged!" Shangguan Erlan said with a wry smile.

Chu Xiangliu was taken aback for a moment, and even Xi Yaoyun, who was supporting Liu Shi, couldn't help but raise her head. What does this mean?
"Princess Wang, please enlighten me." Xi Jinfeng said.

Shangguan Erlan nodded, and said slowly: "Chu Xiangliu's identity is indeed confirmed, and she was raised by a concubine. She lacks the virtuousness and upbringing that a daughter-in-law deserves, so she is really not a candidate for the position of concubine. But since King Rong personally If I open this mouth, if this princess interferes more, it will cause people to gossip. Regent, how do you think this matter should be handled?" She blinked a few times when she asked.

Xi Jinye knew all the movements of one of her fingers like the back of his hand, how could he not know her little thoughts, and didn't tell the truth, said: "You can figure it out."

Shangguan Erlan smiled and said: "According to my concubine's intention, although Chu Xiangliu is not a good candidate for the concubine, but the king likes it, then I will marry him to the mansion of the prince, choose a good day and auspicious day, and marry into the mansion of the prince... ...Become a side concubine!"

When she opened her mouth to say that she joined the palace, Chu Xiangliu's eyebrows and eyes were raised with joy, and she was waiting for her last sentence, but unexpectedly added a sentence later, driving her into the bottomless abyss!
"Side... side concubine?" Liu's lips trembled, unable to believe this fact.With her Liu'er's talent, it is more than enough to be a concubine!How could it suddenly become like this? "No, this is not allowed, how can Liu'er be a side concubine!"

"Not a side concubine? Do you still want to be a concubine? Don't even look at your own status!" Shangguan Erlan said to Liu Shi sarcastically.

Liu's face was full of colors at the moment, and under the anger, she said indiscriminately, "I am the common wife of the Chu family! Liu'er is the daughter of the first wife! But what are you, Chu Xianglan, you are not even as good as a concubine?" Father doesn't love mother, you..." In the middle of speaking, Xi Yaoyun covered Liu Shi's mouth in shock and disregarded etiquette, hating her heart, this Liu Shi is really helpless of!

She gritted her teeth and said to her superiors: "Please atone for the princess regent, my mother-in-law can't accept this incident, she is unconscious, she said something disrespectful to the princess, please forgive me!"

"Ms. Liu is right. This concubine is indeed... not as good as a concubine." She hummed softly, her eyes filled with gloom.

Xi Jinye also stared at Xi Yaoyun and Liu Shi, his eyes were emotionless.

This sudden change made Xi Yaoyun pale with fright, and hurriedly asked the maid behind her to hold Liu Shi, and she dragged Chu Xiangliu to the center of the hall, knelt down, and said: "Princess please punish, it is the minister's wife who waits." Don't choose your words."

Chu Xiangliu didn't like to kneel down to Shangguan Erlan the most, but at this time Liu said something she shouldn't have said, so that everyone present could hear it. If the regent pursued it, not only Liu's life would be lost, but Even the Chu family is likely to be implicated.The education she has received since she was a child is to put the family first and the family as the criterion, and this kind of cognition is deeply rooted in her bones.
