Chapter six hundred and twenty seventh return gift
The four eyes looked at each other.
Sheng Hong was defeated first and smiled helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you. Tonight, Brother Sanhuang and I did have some unpleasant troubles."
Then, in an understatement, he recounted what happened at the banquet: "...it will be even more unpleasant if the stalemate continues. I simply came back first."
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
What a proud third prince!
What a domineering Crown Prince of Da Qi!
"It's true that I'm giving away beauties, and it's true that I want to take the opportunity to test you." There was a hint of coldness in Xie Mingxi's voice: "He thinks he is the crown prince and wants to control everyone in the palm of his hand."
"If you comply with his wishes tonight, there will be other matters tomorrow and the day after that, requiring you to obey and obey again and again."
"It wasn't long after I became the crown prince that my true nature began to show."
"It may be that I have been pretending for too many years and I feel too frustrated. Once I got my wish and became the crown prince, wouldn't I just think about looking down on all living beings?" Sheng Hong answered the question with dissatisfaction in his tone: "It's a good thing that I got there early.
I placed my bet and gave my full support to becoming the crown prince. Now he is treating me like this!"
Xie Mingxi was not surprised: "It doesn't matter. Isn't it enough that the cunning rabbit died and was cooked by the lackey? If the fourth prince becomes the crown prince, you will be the one who is squeezed and suppressed."
"It's just a test, just deal with it. You just have to go to the Ministry of Works tomorrow and leave this matter to me."
Sheng Hong immediately said: "You shouldn't worry about being pregnant. I can handle it myself, so don't worry about it."
Xie Mingxi raised her lips with a smile but not a smile: "The third prince wants to give you a beauty, how can I, the seventh prince's concubine, swallow his anger! This is just the opportunity for everyone to understand how jealous I am."
Sheng Hong: "..."
How can this self-confidence and calmness, which is so charming when talking and laughing, be so charming?
Sheng Hong was so ecstatic that he shamelessly leaned forward for a sweet kiss, and by the way, he used his delicate wife's delicate hands. The depression in his heart also dissipated.
…
The next afternoon, Xie Mingxi went to the Third Prince's Mansion.
The third prince's concubine, Xiao Yuhan, was in the palace, holding Sister Fu and whispering softly.
The weather was hot, so Sister Fu was only wearing a big red bellyband, exposing her plump white arms and calves. Her delicate eyebrows were already wide open, she was grinning and giggling non-stop, which was very endearing.
Xie Mingxi likes Sister Fu very much. Every time she comes here, she must give her a hug and coax her. Today is no exception.
Xiao Yuhan, on the other hand, looked worried at her tall belly: "Stop hugging Sister Fu. If she moves randomly, it will be bad if she touches your belly."
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile, and then said with a smile like "the weather is really good today": "Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors, I came to visit you today to bring back a gift."
Return gift?
Xiao Yuhan was startled: "What kind of return gift?"
The third prince often held banquets outside the courtyard. Xiao Yuhan was busy taking care of his daughter and had no idea what happened at the banquet last night.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly and said: "His Highness was invited to the banquet last night, and Brother Three Emperors specially presented a beauty to His Highness. His Highness accepted this kindness in his heart. I am here today on behalf of Your Highness to send back the gift."
Then he ordered: "Xianghui, let them all come in."
Xianghui retreated in response, and after a while, he came in with the "return gift".
Ten girls stood in a row and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the Crown Princess."
Xiao Yuhan: "..."
These ten girls are all in their prime, not over ten years old. However, their looks are all mediocre. They are definitely not beauties. To say they are ugly is an exaggeration. They are the kind of people who would not look at them again if they were thrown into a crowd.
The appearance at the second glance.
I really don’t know where Xie Mingxi found this “beauty”!
Xie Mingxi's voice rang in her ears: "Your Highness told me that Brother Sanhuang is good at everything, but he looks at beauties a bit strangely. The dancer at the banquet last night had an ordinary appearance. Your Highness really doesn't like it.
, thinking that the Third Emperor Brother would like it, I decided to buy ten dancing girls. I also asked the Third Emperor's sister-in-law to accept it on my behalf. When the Third Emperor Brother returns home, I will let the Third Emperor Brother take a closer look.
"
"If Brother Three Emperors doesn't like these beauties, I will ask someone to buy ten more and send them to you."
What else could Xiao Yuhan say?
He had no choice but to smile helplessly: "That's all, I'll just tell him when he returns home."
Xie Mingxi sat for a while before standing up to say goodbye.
Xiao Yuhan personally escorted Xie Mingxi out of the mansion, then turned around with a depressed look on his face, and was quite dissatisfied with the third prince.
You know clearly that Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi are very much in love with each other, but you still do such disgusting things. Now it's okay, Sheng Hong doesn't appreciate it, and you pissed off Xie Mingxi again!
Why bother?
…
That night, when the third prince returned home, what he saw was a row of "beauties".
Third Prince: "..."
It hurts my eyes to see too much!
There was no expression on Xiao Yuhan's face, and he said calmly: "...The seventh brother and sister specially sent you a return gift. Please accept it. If Your Highness is not satisfied, the seventh brother and sister have said that they will send ten more beauties."
The corner of the third prince's mouth twitched slightly, and it took him a long time to say: "No need."
After glancing at the ten "beauties", the third prince became increasingly angry. He waved his hand to signal those "beauties" to leave. Then, he complained in front of Xiao Yuhan:
"Xie Mingxi is too strict with the Seventh Emperor. I just said casually that the Seventh Emperor didn't dare to stay overnight. He returned home early without even touching the dancing girl."
"It's good for her. In the blink of an eye, she sent these ten 'beauties' to attack my uncle! She doesn't even look like a younger sister!"
Xiao Yuhan, who had always been good-tempered, smiled expressionlessly: "Your Highness also knows that he is an uncle. How can there be any reason to surround his brother with beautiful women? Your Highness does not act like an uncle, but now he is blaming him.
Seven younger siblings are here."
Third Prince: "..."
Why did Xiao Yuhan become so angry as well?
The third prince still wanted to save face and put on airs: "What do you mean by saying this? Could it be that you blame me? I ask myself that I am open-minded and have nothing to do with the Seventh Emperor's brother."
Xiao Yuhan's anger was somewhat faked, but after hearing these words, he was completely annoyed.
Open-minded?
If you are really magnanimous, why would you test Sheng Hong like this?
Sheng Hong has done so much for him. Now that he has not yet firmly established himself as the crown prince, he wants to try to suppress him... Do he really think that everyone else is a fool?
The anger is mixed with the disappointment that cannot be expressed in words.
Xiao Yuhan took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "I have to take care of Sister Fu and have no time to serve Your Highness. Your Highness, please go to the study to rest! I will also send the beauties sent by the seventh brother and sister to the study. Who does Your Highness like?
