After Wang Bi finished serving His Highness, he returned to his Dusi Yamen, sat in the back hall and sighed.
His wife, Mrs. Yang, brought him a bowl of lotus seed soup and asked curiously: "Why did the master sigh again?"
"I'm so annoyed." Wang Bi took it and scooped up the lotus seeds while saying depressedly: "If I had known why I had to be so mean in the first place, why would I say that one more thing?"
"Which sentence?" Yang asked.
"Oh, don't ask." Wang Bi crushed the lotus seeds irritably and grunted: "That Zhang Maocheng is so shameless, he actually called his sister here and used a beauty trap for His Highness."
"Also..." Mrs. Yang curled her lips. She was the sister of Yang Jing, Marquis of Yingyang. She didn't feel guilty at all in front of Wang Bi. She directly said: "Whoever laughs at Zhang Da Zhenren, it's not my turn to laugh at him."
She was very unhappy with Wang Bi's behavior of selling his daughter for glory.
"Oh, what do you know about a woman?" Wang Bi was a little overwhelmed by the rebuke, and shouted loudly: "How can I call it a honey trap? I'm thinking about my daughter's future!"
"That sounds nice, but why do you still want Run'er to be the princess?" Yang didn't believe it.
"Why can't my daughter be a princess?" Wang Bi puffed his beard and glared: "Have you forgotten that Yuan Gong told Runer's fortune back then, saying that she was born with good fortune, at least she was destined to be a princess?"
"Hey, it seems true." Yang said and smiled: "Then Yuan Gong also said that Qian was about to become a marquis. How many years have it been? I still haven't seen your iron certificate."
"You bitches, why don't you open any pot?" Wang Bi said depressedly: "When Yuan Gong said that he would be granted a title of marquis immediately, he did not mean to be granted a title of marquis immediately, but that he wanted to fight on horseback. I have already done enough credit, but in fact,
I almost got a shiver."
As he spoke, he sighed and said: "When King Ninghe went to the west, he wanted me to be his deputy general, but the emperor used Mu Ying instead. As a result, Mu Ying became the Marquis of Xiping with this battle. If the emperor had used
Me, me too."
"Hey, do you think I really care about that iron plate?" Yang also softened his tone and said, "If you can't help but go to that kind of place, I won't go. I don't want you to follow in the footsteps of King Ninghe."
"How come everyone else is okay? This is life." Wang Bi sighed for a while, then returned to the topic:
"To be honest, I really thought our daughter was in trouble, so I put her on the pole and sent her to His Highness. Even though His Highness is huge, she is only fourteen or fifteen years old and her hair hasn't even grown yet, so she can't get out.
What's the matter? We're just playmates, there's nothing to be ashamed of..."
"Marriage matters are all ordered by your parents, and His Highness's marriage is decided by the Emperor alone. What's the use of having porcelain with His Highness?" Yang shook her head.
"You don't know, don't you? His Royal Highness the King of Chu's marriage is different from others. He has made great achievements, and the reward he asked the emperor for is to decide who will be the princess himself." Wang Bi lowered his voice.
"Really?" Yang asked with wide eyes.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu told me this himself." At this time, Wang Bi said mysteriously: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Why is he telling you this?" Yang asked in confusion.
"Yeah, why is he telling me this?" Wang Bi was also stunned, scratched his head and said:
"Never mind him, in short, this is the situation - His Highness wants this kind of reward, which means that he just wants to find a girl of his choice to be his princess. At this time, the status is not so important. Anyway, he doesn't have a family.
high."
"Besides, I will be granted the title of Marquis immediately, and by then our daughter's status will be no less than that of others." Wang Bi emphasized again.
"Master, don't just think about climbing high branches. I heard that people in Nanchang now scare their children at night and say, 'If you make trouble again, the prince will come and arrest you.' The children immediately stopped crying. You wouldn't push our daughter into a pit of fire, would you?
?" Yang's worry just meant that she was about to have a heart attack.
"You can rest assured about this." Wang Bi said seriously but indifferently: "It is the King of Yan who loves killing people, not the King of Chu."
Xin Xin said, of course King Chu’s ability to torment people is unmatched by King Yan. But of course he can’t mention it at this time, and he has to give Lao Liu a thumbs up:
"And the best thing about the King of Chu is that he is kind and righteous! You can see from Liu Shenzheng's case that as soon as the prince heard that his senior brother was gone, he came from the capital to kill him during the Chinese New Year. In order to avenge him, he also
Dressing up as a beggar yourself?"
"That's true." Ms. Yang was finally moved. A girl like her who is a tough girl likes to be affectionate and righteous. But after thinking about it, she became a little discouraged and said:
"Your Highness is so concerned about Liu's participation in politics. Is it probably because of Uncle Chengyi's granddaughter?"
"Miss Liu's family originally had no suspense, but Liu's participation in politics has made things more suspenseful." Wang Bi stretched out his hand and said: "When an opportunity arises, you must seize it firmly. Young people are uncertain about what will happen.
I can’t even say for sure.”
After a pause, he continued: "Taking a step back, even if I don't become the main concubine in the end, it would still be good to be a side concubine."
"Hey, I wonder if His Highness will look down on our daughter?" Yang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, the only thing you don't have to worry about is this. His Highness and our daughter have hit it off. He has asked me several times during the time Miss Liu returned to her hometown, but why hasn't Run'er come?" Wang Bi said with a proud smile.
:
"You don't know, today His Highness not only invited me to ride with you, but also personally poured me ice-cold grape juice to drink. Isn't this just love for the house? Otherwise, as a father, I can still push my daughter into the fire pit?"
"Hey, I don't care, you can figure it out yourself." Yang said this, which was like being convinced by him.
"How can you ignore it? You have to help me persuade my daughter later." Wang Bi ordered the maid to invite the young lady, and then said to Yang:
"Originally, there were no female relatives in the camp, so it was inconvenient for Run'er to go. But now it's different. The Taoist nun is living in it, so it's no problem for Run'er to go. I have to ask her to go there every day tomorrow and keep an eye on it, so that Zhang Xunzhen doesn't steal the house.
"
"Sir, you are overthinking it, but Zhang Xunzhen is Zhang Daren's sister, so she must be twenty, right?" Yang said speechlessly: "This is too old, His Highness is not yet fifteen."
"You don't understand." Wang Bi said with an experienced look: "Men from fifteen to fifty all like twenty."
"Oh." Yang said suddenly, "Of course that includes the master?"
"Ahem, I'm already fifty-one and I don't like it anymore." Wang Bi coughed hastily.
"Tch..." Mr. Yang chuckled and said, "I believe you are a big-headed ghost. You are a bad old man who spends a lot of money."
"Madam, don't accuse someone of innocence out of thin air!" Wang Bi said with wide eyes, "I don't even want a concubine!"
"You don't accept it? You don't dare." Yang snorted, her Yang family gun was not vegetarian.
~~
Fortunately, Wang Runer came to visit his parents and rescued Wang Bi.
"Run'er," after she said all blessings, Wang Bi began to trick you: "I have something to trouble you about."
"Father, please give me your instructions." Wang Run'er is tall and has a broad mind, but her words are soft and soft.
"You have a good relationship with the King of Chu, right?" Wang Bi was indeed a military commander, and he knocked his daughter into panic with a blow to the head.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Wang Run'er was a little at a loss and said with a red face: "My daughter and Liu Li have a handkerchief relationship, and she is not familiar with His Highness."
