Chapter six hundred and twentieth eight out of breath
Five days later.
When the court was dismissed, the third prince stopped Sheng Hong: "Seventh prince, please wait a moment, I have something to say to you."
Sheng Hong knew what was going on, but he just didn't know. He stopped with a smile and asked diligently: "What are your orders, Brother Three Emperors?"
The third prince looked depressed: "Hurry up and ask Mr. Xie to take everyone back. I don't have that much space in my house to accommodate these idlers."
Xie Mingxi sends ten "beauties" every other day. Yesterday, he sent for the third time, which means he sent thirty "beauties".
Xiao Yuhan was also angry and awkward, and sent all thirty "beauties" to the study. The third prince slept in the study for several nights, so naturally he was not in the mood to call the "beauties" to his bed. Even after taking a look, he felt that
Feeling depressed.
This has also become the latest joke among people recently.
No one dared to make fun of the crown prince openly, but they had to gossip in private.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to offend anyone, so why would he offend the seventh prince's concubine?"
"That's right, the couple has a very good relationship. The seventh prince's concubine is pregnant, and the prince wants to give his beauty to the seventh prince, but the seventh prince is not happy at all."
"The Seventh Princess's move is also very powerful. I heard that the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness have been having troubles for a few days, tsk tsk! You have to be more careful in the future, some women can be provoked. Some women are better off as little as possible."
Of course, there are people who openly ridicule His Highness the Crown Prince.
For example, the fourth prince, such as the fifth prince.
The two of them have been having a hard time in court recently, and they are feeling sulky in their hearts. Now that they have a ready-made laughing stock, how can they let it go?
The third prince was also feeling aggrieved. To argue with his brothers and sisters would be unworthy of a brother-in-law. If he didn't care, he would be really depressed. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to come to Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong looked embarrassed: "Mingxi has told me about this. You don't know her temperament. If others treat her well, she will pay back a hundred percent even if they don't say anything at all. This beauty just sent the third wave,
She has ordered people to buy people everywhere, and plans to send a few more to the imperial brother..."
The corners of the third prince's mouth twitched and he said repeatedly: "There is no need to pay it back. I really can't bear this kind of kindness."
Then, he took his younger brother's hand and sighed: "I don't want to hide it from you anymore. In the past few days, your Third Emperor's Wife has been angry with me. If the Seventh Brother and Sister send someone else here again, my inner house will never be able to rest.
"
Now that the third prince had given in, Sheng Hong accepted the offer and apologized hurriedly: "It's because Ming Xi didn't think well. I didn't expect that the third prince's sister-in-law would get sulky over such a trivial matter. I'll go back to my house right away and tell Ming Xi."
Tell her to bring him back again."
After a pause, he whispered with some embarrassment: "It's just that I have enough manpower in my house. There is nowhere to place these thirty beauties. If they are sold back, the reputation will not be good."
The third prince immediately said: "I'd like to thank my seventh brother and sister for taking the trouble to handle this matter properly. If you need gold or silver, it will be all on me."
"How can I make the emperor spend money?" Sheng Hong Zhengyi said solemnly: "I just take out the money from my private house for the matter of ten thousand taels of silver."
Yes, even the amount was stated.
The third prince twitched his lips again and insisted on paying ten thousand taels of silver.
Sheng Hong was disrespectful and had to reluctantly agree.
…
This game ended with Xie Mingxi's victory.
Xie Mingxi felt bad and happy. She specially asked Ye Qiuniang to make some exquisite and delicious snacks, and went to the Third Prince's Mansion with the snacks.
"Sanhuang's sister-in-law and Sanhuang brother have a good relationship, so don't get sulky over such a trivial matter." Xie Mingxi consoled her with a smile: "Otherwise, I would feel very sorry. It seems like I deliberately instigated it."
Xiao Yuhan's expression was a little complicated. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
Because they have different identities, some words can no longer be spoken as freely as in the past.
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi had obviously seen through the third prince's real intention. They also chose a way to fight back without breaking their skin! This made the third prince feel dumb and frustrated.
The third prince relented, and the couple also acted very neatly. They took the person away first, and then came to apologize. It was obvious that they were willing to continue to give in.
The premise is that the third prince, as the crown prince, should not act excessively.
We know each other well and don't need to tell each other.
All kinds of thoughts came to my mind, rolled on the tip of my tongue, and were swallowed back. Xiao Yuhan could only accept the words as if nothing had happened: "I am not angry with Your Highness. I am just busy taking care of Sister Fu these days, so
I neglected to take care of Your Highness."
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she said with a smile: "I don't want to talk too much about husband and wife matters. It's good that Sister-in-law Sanhuang knows what's going on."
Xiao Yuhan smiled slightly and changed the topic: "You are six months pregnant, right? How is your appetite lately? How do you sleep?"
Xie Mingxi cooperated and changed the topic, and the two sisters-in-law were as affectionate as ever.
After Xie Mingxi left, Xiao Yuhan sat alone for a long time, feeling very sad.
In life, there are always many things that people cannot control. After becoming sisters-in-law, their former classmates became less close than before. Just like she and Yin Xiaoxiao, they hindered each other's husband-in-law, so it was always a little awkward to talk when they met.
As for Xie Mingxi, she has always been a wealthy man. She is as affectionate as ever on her face, but she also has a lot of wariness and calculations in her heart.
She could see through Yin Xiaoxiao and could barely figure out Li Xiangru's temperament, but she always felt like there was a veil between her and Xie Mingxi.
…
Xie Mingxi had none of Xiao Yuhan's sighs and sighs.
Perhaps it is because she has lived for decades in her previous life and has experienced too many things. Perhaps it is because she has seen the most sinister human hearts in the world and has a deep understanding of the coldness and selfishness of human nature.
The changes that the third prince underwent after becoming the crown prince were actually to be expected.
The closer one gets to the supreme imperial power, the easier it is for human nature to be distorted.
The word power has always been the most powerful poison in the world. It makes people intoxicated, forgetful, unable to extricate themselves, and changed beyond recognition.
Sheng Hong's concession must have a bottom line and principles. Otherwise, he will eventually become a piece of fish on the chopping board and be bullied by others.
This is the end of a trial without smoke.
However, this is by no means the real end, but the beginning of another struggle for power.
Even Sheng Hong felt aggrieved. What would happen to the second prince? How could the fifth prince be willing to accept it? Is the fourth prince really giving up on the throne?
It is not yet known whether the third prince can secure his position as crown prince.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Xianghui opened the door and Congyu Fuyu hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie Mingxi get out of the carriage.
As soon as Xie Mingxi entered the main entrance, there were hurried footsteps behind her.
Xie Mingxi turned her head and recognized the person. This was Lu Chi's long-term follower, with a pleasant round face.
The round-faced Chang Sui looked panicked and said hurriedly: "To inform the Seventh Prince, the eldest son has ordered his servant to deliver the message. The eldest mistress accidentally had fetal gas and has severe abdominal pain. She is afraid that she will give birth prematurely."
