Wu Zijing didn't care. Although he lost his wife and children, he never lacked women around him.
This so-called invitation and the establishment of a concubine were all for one thing, which was to make the old Chu states surrender.
In order to subdue the Great Liang, he spent a lot of effort. If he used weapons again, the losses would be too great.
Therefore, Wu Zijing just glanced at it and said: "Eldest sister is the one who makes the decision. Whoever you choose will be the one."
His attitude was very helpful to Princess Dehui, and her tone became gentler: "What are these words? You are the one who gets the wife, so naturally you want to choose your own."
Wu Zijing laughed and said, "How can I not trust my elder sister's vision? What you choose must be good."
Princess Dehui was happy and said: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king."
Wu Zijing was puzzled: "Sister, what are you..."
Lady Deokhye stretched out her hand and pointed out the window: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Wu Zijing followed the direction and looked over, and found two girls sitting under a flower tree, talking and laughing. One was in green and the other was in red. The one in green was pretty and pretty, and the one in red was facing them sideways, so they couldn't see clearly.
appearance.
The two of them seemed to be talking about something interesting. The girl in red shirt suddenly turned her head and smiled, making him look at her face. Wu Zijing was stunned for a moment.
Seeing his fixed gaze, Princess Dehui stretched out her hand and pushed it: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Wu Zijing reluctantly looked away, and his expression quickly became serious: "Eldest sister, who do you think I am? Business is important now, how can I be greedy for beauty?"
Princess Dehui said angrily: "What do you think, Your Majesty? I am not Princess Pingyang, who only gives beauties to my brother."
"Then she is..."
"Xu Huan's daughter, Miss Xu San."
Wu Zijing was stunned for a moment.
Princess Dehui smiled and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty? Should I congratulate you?"
Wu Zijing was surprised and happy: "It is indeed a happy event, eldest sister, how did you do it?"
Lord Dehui didn't know that she was busy meeting the ladies when suddenly a servant came to report that the daughter of Xu Huan, the governor of Nanyuan, was here.
Ever since Wu Zijing conquered Yongcheng, countless people have come to please her, especially when word spread that she wanted to choose a concubine for Prince Xinliang. Every day, ladies she knew and didn't know came to pay her respects.
Presumably Xu Huan also heard about this and sent his daughter here specially, right?
Guess he knows the truth! No matter how good Nanyuan's business is, it's just a state capital. How can it be the opponent of Da Liang's 300,000 elite soldiers? If you send your daughter here early, you might be able to get a good reputation.
Of course, Lady Dehui would not say these words. She knew that Wu Zijing was most worried about Nan Yuan. Wouldn't it be good to let him think that it was her own credit to the Xu family for sending their daughter?
Wu Zijing really thought so, and thanked her repeatedly: "The one I am most worried about is Nan Yuan. Xu Huan said he was ill, but no one knows whether it was a ruse or not. Unexpectedly, the eldest sister took action and the matter was solved. The eldest sister is really
My brother's lucky star, the eldest sister alone can be worth a hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
Being held up by him like this, Princess Dehui couldn't help but feel elated and laughed softly: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. I am your sister. If I don't care about you, who should I care about?"
As they were talking, there was a sudden noise outside. When the two of them looked outside, they saw that the two girls who had been joking just now were arguing.
what happens?
…
"What did you say?" Xu Yin raised his eyebrows and stared at An Qi seriously.
An Qi was startled by her and stammered: "Xu, Miss Xu San, what's wrong?"
Xu Yin asked: "What did you just say? Say it again."
An Qi didn't know why she suddenly turned against her, so she could only repeat blankly: "I said, even if you don't come, there will still be a concubine left..."
Xu Yin stood up suddenly.
Because the movement was too violent, the food table was knocked, and the dishes on it made a crisp collision sound.
On such an occasion, the ladies talked and ate in a low and gentle voice. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their eyes over.
Being the center of attention, Xu Yin was not embarrassed at all, and his voice became even louder: "Who said I was going to be a concubine?"
An Qi was confused by her. She knew that Miss Xu San had no choice but to come here. Naturally, she didn't want to be a concubine. However, she had come to the concubine selection banquet. How could she say such things to her face? Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the master?
s face?
"Miss Xu San..."
Xu Yin's anger was naturally not directed at her. She glanced at the banquet, as if she suddenly understood something, and said: "No wonder, the person who came to pick me up was not an official from the royal court, but a nun from the harem! How unreasonable, how unreasonable
!”
She looked furious and shouted: "Aunt Chen! Where is the Aunt Chen who brought me here? I want to see her!"
When something like this happened at the banquet, the maid in charge had already hurried over to inquire about it.
"Miss Xu San, please calm down, but why is the hospitality so poor?"
Xu Yin said coldly: "Where is Grandma Chen? I have something to ask her."
A banquet was being held in the mansion, and everyone had errands to attend to, so naturally Aunt Chen would not be idle. The servant girl smiled and said, "Aunt Chen has other things to do, and Miss Xu San has something to say, so she can tell us the same thing."
.”
"Okay, let me tell you then." Xu Yin looked at the other party, "Let me ask you, what kind of banquet is this?"
The servant woman didn't understand what she meant by asking, so she replied: "Miss Third, this is a flower viewing banquet hosted by our master."
Xu Yin sneered: "Is this what I want you to answer? It's a flower-viewing party in the open, but what is it secretly? There are so many young ladies, all dressed up, are they enjoying the flowers, or are they being admired by others?"
She didn't hold back at all, she just shouted loudly, and all the ladies at the table heard it, and their expressions changed.
What's going on with Miss Xu San? Isn't that what a flower viewing party is like? Everyone knows it in their hearts, why do you still slap people in the face? What does it mean to be rewarded? Although this is a fact, it is too ugly!
The maid couldn't help frowning. These days, which young lady comes to see the prince without being cautious and trying to please her? Even if Nanyuan is very important, after all, it is just a state capital, and she is the daughter of a governor. How can she
How dare you be so rude!
Thinking of this, the servant girl said something rude: "Miss Xu San, if there is any improper reception, I will report it to the master later and I will give you justice. As a guest, if you make such a big banquet,
Are you trying to make our princess look bad?"
However, Xu Yin was angrier than her and shouted: "It's not that I want to make your Lord look bad, it's that you want to make Prince Liang look bad!"
She reached into her arms, took out a hand scroll, "swiped" it and unfolded it, pointed to the red mud seal at the end, and said loudly: "Do you see clearly? This is my father's order from the governor, ordering me to be the envoy to meet Prince Liang.
.I came to Yongcheng to represent Nanyuan. This is business, official business. You and other servants treat the messenger as a favored daughter, but you deliberately humiliate my father?"
