Chapter 660: The Eldest Princess's Careful Thoughts
"I'm sorry, Granny Liang, I wasn't feeling well just now, so I came a little late. "Bi"Ω "Qu" Pavilion" She felt uncomfortable at the same time. Shao Dianluan admitted that he was not lying.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has not sorry for the old slave. It doesn't matter how long you let the old slave wait here. It's just that not being punctual is equivalent to breaking the promise. What you lose is the dignity of the royal family." Waiting for Shao Dianluan in the teaching hall was a fifty-year-old man.
The old women on the left and right.
Ding Kui would be frightened if he saw her here. This old woman was Ding Xiao's teacher, Mrs. Liang, whom he met at Shaohua Academy.
Who is the eldest princess's teacher? Although she only teaches life skills, it is not something that ordinary people can do. It is very unreasonable that a slave from Anguo Duke's mansion should be the teacher.
"I have learned a lesson." Shaodian Luan did not show any willfulness in front of outsiders.
"Then let's get started. I don't dare to waste Her Royal Highness's time. Today I will teach you how to distinguish between good and bad needle embroidery. You are not required to master needle embroidery skills, but you are only required to be able to tell the good from the bad..."
Mrs. Liang taught Shaodian Luan strictly, which was completely different from her attitude towards Ding Kui.
"That's it for today. Next time your Highness the Princess wants to learn, she will send someone to inform me one day in advance." After saying this, Mrs. Liang stood up and wanted to leave.
"Wait, Granny Liang." Shao Dianluan stood up and called to Granny Liang.
"What other orders do you have?"
"I heard that your level of disguise is quite high. There are not many people in the Ministry of Health who can compare with you. Is there such a thing?" Shao Dianluan slowly sat back on the chair.
Mrs. Liang frowned and said, "Your Highness, Princess, you want to learn the art of disguise? I do know some skills, but this skill is not suitable for your status."
"I want to see someone, but I don't want to use his current appearance and identity."
Shaodian Luan was used to seeing people who were pretentious, but he found the stern Mrs. Liang believable.
"Do you want to meet the prospective consort?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Liang was surprised by Shao Dianluan's frankness, "I have met Prince Ding several times. If Your Highness the Princess is willing, I can take you to the Protector's Mansion without spending a lot of time in disguise." She neither agreed nor refused.
.
"Have you seen him? What kind of person is he?"
"He is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen."
"Some of you say he is good and some say he is bad. I can't tell who to believe, so I want to see with my own eyes." Shao Dianluan became more and more firm in his thoughts.
Mrs. Liang looked around, then lowered her voice and said: "I can teach Her Royal Highness the art of disguise, but this skill needs to be learned in secret. If others know what you will look like with makeup, then the meaning of disguise will be lost. At night
Come to this hall alone at nine o'clock."
Shaodian Luan said calmly: "That's all, I'll go back and rest first."

He Guangsheng held up a painting and stood in front of Ding Kui. Ding Kui leaned on his chair and looked at the painting.
"Is this the portrait sent by the Department of Internal Health?" Ding Kui asked.
"That's right, a guard named Li gave it to me." He Guangsheng is currently studying at the Knights Guild. When he left the guild, a man dressed like a guard thrust a portrait into him.
"Well, the artist's level is very high, and those eyes are very expressive." Ding Kui closed his eyes and imprinted the person in the painting in his mind.
"Master, the young lady is so beautiful. In fact, there is no female student in the guild who is as good-looking as her." After all, He Guangsheng was young and had not met many people.
"Is there really no defect that made the king give her to me?" Ding Kui seemed to be asking He Guangsheng, but it was more like asking himself.
"If this can be called a defect, then what does a perfect person look like? Young Master is so tall, I can't keep up with you at all."
"Who taught you to talk like this? You kid knows a lot." Ding Kui waved his hand to He Guangsheng to put the portrait away.
"I learned it all from you. Grandpa told me to get used to the way you speak. I will say whatever you say." He Guangsheng circled the picture and placed it respectfully in front of Ding Kui.
"You don't know, some people's flaws cannot be seen from their appearance. Well, based on the news obtained in the past two days, she seems to have no problem here," Ding Kui pointed to his head. Is it just because the king
Appreciate me?"
He didn't think that the military functions he had established were so great that the king had to grant him a marriage. He always thought that there was something fishy about this matter. The problem was not with him but with the eldest princess. However, Shaodian Luan was impeccable in both appearance and temperament.
It seems that there is no hidden secret in the marriage.
"Who can not appreciate my young master? You are someone who has fought against level six combatants."
He Zizi has always told He Guangsheng about Ding Kui's achievements, and constantly instilled Ding Kui's tall image into his grandson. He Guangsheng's idol is Ding Kui.
"Haha, okay, I like to hear this. If you have a promising future, you will learn to flatter yourself." Ding Kui stood up and rubbed He Guangsheng's head, "Grow up quickly, the young master will reward you with an official position."
He Guangsheng smiled shyly.

Tantai Xiu, Tantai Jin, Nangong Pin, Linghu Yu and other children of several indigenous dukes gathered together to discuss Ding Kui's affairs.
"Nangong, have you met Ding Kui, how was it?" Tantai Jin knew that Nangong Pin attended the banquet to welcome Ding Kui.
Tantai Xiu and Linghu Yu looked at Nangong Pin together.
"He is a man! He is humble, has a straightforward personality, and is handsomer than me. It's a pity that I haven't seen him take action, so I don't know what his true strength is." Nangong Pin was trying hard to search for words in his mind.
"Are you so good? My family told me that Ding Kui's military success was all achieved by a powerful soldier. He himself is not much different from us." Linghu Yu's face said "No"
Believe in three words.
"It's different from you," Tantai Xiu shook his head. "He was tenth in the last national championship. You just barely qualified from Linhai Prefecture. The champion of Linhai Prefecture may be able to compete with him. He has a little ability, but
Even if you are ten times better, you still won’t be worthy of the eldest princess!”
"He's handsomer than you. I'll go see him sometime." Tantai Jin had different ideas from the boys.
"Humph, what can you plan? There are many people in my family who can fight. How can I marry the eldest princess?" Linghu Yu turned to Tantai Jin and said, "Didn't we agree to find a way to humiliate that Ding Kui? You go ahead.
What do you mean by looking at him?"
"Do you really want to humiliate him? Wouldn't it be bad?"
After meeting Ding Kui, Nangong Pin's impression of him changed somewhat, and he was a little reluctant to deal with him.
"What are you afraid of? A man from the countryside is a real 'native'. How dare he marry the eldest princess? If we don't humiliate him and let the king know that he is a useless guy, how can we have the chance to cancel the marriage?
"Tantai Xiu had the most determined thoughts on dealing with Ding Kui. He felt that he was the one who should become the consort.
Linghu Yu also said to Nangong Pin: "Yes, that's what we agreed. You can't go back on it. Yang Mian treats everyone like that. Don't look at him as a supporter of Ding Kui. We have to deal with Ding Kui. He
At most, I can come out and give you a few words of advice."
"Hey, Ding Kui is the Protector of the Country, his uncle Jiang Li is the third elder of the Senate, and his second uncle Jiang Xi is the commander-in-chief of the staff. It is said that I have been promoted to a fearless knight. How do you want to humiliate him? We may not be able to do it together.
You can beat him." Nangong Pin said with a bitter smile.
Linghu Yu opened his mouth, but he had no idea in his mind and couldn't say anything.
"We can't use force against Ding Kui. After all, he just came off the battlefield. Although his military achievements are empty, he has seen death and bloodshed. We can start from other aspects, such as knowledge, wealth, connections, etc." Tantai Jin thought.
After waking up, he realized that he had to find a way to deal with Ding Kui.
"Yes." Tantai Xiu nodded to his sister with satisfaction, "Wealth, how much money can a country boy have? Don't look at the magazines and calendars he made in Pingzhong County, and what kind of specialties he went to Juyang City.
Okay, you can’t even earn a few copper coins. Brother Yu’s monthly pocket money is enough for him to earn for several years.”
"Uh, yes." Linghu Yu was a little hesitant, "Together we can kill him with money."
How did these aboriginal Duke's children know that the copyright of "Guan Yue" in Lu State was worth millions of gold coins.
"But we can't just go door-to-door and throw money at people's faces." Nangong Pin was the least active among them.
"You don't have to be so stupid, why don't you give him money? Isn't September the eldest princess's coming-of-age ceremony? The prospective prince-in-law can't express it, right? I know that the annual auction of the Lu Chamber of Commerce will be held in early August. It's a shame to buy a gift for the princess.
The most suitable occasion.
Once he sees something he wants to buy, we will take pictures and let him go away empty-handed. When the princess comes of age, we will take the things out and find a few knowledgeable people to make things difficult for him. Does he still have the face to stay?"
It seems that Tantai Jin is the one responsible for coming up with the idea.
"What if he doesn't go to the auction? Didn't you say that he has no money? How can a poor person participate in the auction of Lu's Chamber of Commerce? Besides, the Lu's Chamber of Commerce may not let him participate." Nangong Pin questioned.
"I can think of ways to get a seat at the auction. It's up to you whether you can let him go." Tantai Xiu stared at Nangongpin and said.
"Look at me?"
"Yes, you are very familiar with Yang Mian. Yang Mian will definitely go to the auction to join in the fun. You can ask him to call Ding Kui."
"Yang Mian brings Ding Kui to the auction together. What should we do if Yang Mian helps Ding Kui bid?" Nangong Pin came up with various excuses.
"I will find an opportunity to pull Yang Mian away, don't worry." Tantai Xiu looked at Nangong Pin with an unkind expression.
"This is a good idea, I agree! We can ask our family for money in advance and be prepared. That Ding Kui is busy preparing for the engagement ceremony. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. We can definitely crush him at the auction." Linghu Yu
Said confidently.
"Okay, let me think about how to tell Yang Mian. I have to prepare a gift for the eldest princess anyway, and I will have a share of the money from the auction." As a descendant of an indigenous duke, Nangong Pin had no choice but to agree.
