"Hey! The girl is so beautiful and beautiful, it is really humiliating to stay here. How much benefit will this small imperial concubine give you? Our Pingnan Palace will give you ten times more. If the girl comes with me, I can even exempt you from the music status and restore you." Civilian status.”
"Your Majesty, please show some respect. I am a girl from a good family, not from a happy family." Xun Xuan replied unhappily.
In ancient times, women who committed crimes or the wives and daughters of prisoners were usually thrown into the government, worked as official prostitutes, and engaged in playing and singing for people's entertainment.
Xunxuan's father was framed before and eventually died unjustly. She was naturally demoted to Lehu and stayed with Han Qiumiao as a maid. However, the emperor's sixteenth son failed in his rebellion, her family's injustice was cleared up, and Xunxuan had long been restored to civilian status. Identity. Just...
Sister Xunxuan was willing to degenerate and was willing to be a humble dancer next to Zhou Xingyun.
"Oh." Prince Pingnan was very surprised. He didn't expect that such a charming beauty was not from Leji, but she was willing to stay in Fengyu Mansion and serve a little Fengyu.
"You are brave and cunning! Since you claim to be a dancer in the mansion, why not come with us back to the Prince of Zhennan's Palace to dance for our people, Prince Pingnan? Or, you are just a commoner, how dare you look down on Prince Pingnan's Palace!"
When Han Dongchen was having trouble talking, the little followers around him would naturally stand up and speak for him.
"It seems that you have misunderstood me. Although I say that I am a dancer in the mansion, I never dance for outsiders. Unless the master has orders." Xunxuan responded unceremoniously, obviously not expecting the 'visitor' to be so presumptuous. He actually scolded her in public.
Xunxuan had already given her opponent enough face, but the opponent was rude and unreasonable, so she simply kicked the ball to Zhou Xingyun, believing that Zhou Xingyun had the ability to deal with Prince Pingnan in front of her.
To be honest, Sister Xunxuan is a little angry. The carriage of Pingnan Palace almost hit him today, and now he comes to trouble her again. Do you really think that she is a lowly official prostitute who can be bullied as much as she wants?
Xunxuan's original intention was to ask Zhou Xingyun to come forward and suppress Prince Pingnan's evil intentions towards her. However, Xunxuan miscalculated one thing, that is, Prince Pingnan did not know that Zhou Xingyun was the prince's consort.
Xunxuan, like Zhou Xingyun, did not realize that they had just returned to the capital today and that no one in Prince Pingnan's palace knew who they were. Because of this, Xunxuan asked Zhou Xingyun to come forward, thinking that even Prince Pingnan would I don't dare to be presumptuous in front of the former crown prince and now the emperor's brother-in-law.
As a result, a situation that distressed Sister Xunxuan occurred. The little attendant next to Prince Pingnan went wild in the living room, looked sideways at Zhou Xingyun, and shouted at the beauty Xunxuan: "Humph, what's wrong with your master? Your master Who do you think you are? Even Feng Yu of the Shang Yao Bureau dares to pretend to be a high official in front of Prince Pingnan. You simply don’t know how high the sky is! You don’t understand the general trend of the court!"
The people of Pingnan Palace unanimously believed that Xiao Fengyu of Shang Yao Bureau was not qualified to pay homage to the emperor early, so he did not understand the situation in the DPRK and was rude to them.
In the eyes of the people in Pingnan Palace, Zhou Xingyun, Xunxuan, Wei Suyao and others are like frogs in the well, just like bumpkins in the countryside who have never seen the big world. Once Xunxuan knows how powerful Nanwang Palace is, she will become a slave. The beauty pleases them.
"It's just..." Xunxuan is a smart person, and the other party actually claimed that Zhou Xingyun was in charge of the Shang Yao Bureau. There must be something wrong with this.
The people in Prince Pingnan's Mansion are all either lacking in brains.
Either you are a fool or you don’t know who Zhou Xingyun is.
"What's the matter? Don't think that your master has some political power and is arrogant just because he has held an official position in the capital. There are some people you can't afford to offend!" The little follower relied on the power of others, his nostrils turned to the sky, and he spoke nonsense like a dog looking down on others.
.
"Ha, I very much agree with what you said at the end." Xunxuan smiled coldly, not bothering to argue with the villain, and walked decisively to Zhou Xingyun.
"That's enough!" Prince Pingnan clapped the paper fan in his hand, signaling the servant not to argue aggressively with him.
Admittedly, Prince Pingnan told his servant to shut up, not because he thought he was being unreasonable and had lost his face. It was because the servant was so angry that Xun Xuan didn't give them a good look, which made Prince Pingnan upset and angry.
It feels like a strong dragon can hardly defeat a local snake.
As for why Zhou Xingyun, Xun Xuan and others were so bold and did not give face to the Nanwang Palace, Han Dongchen made a clever guess and roughly summarized the following three points.
First, Zhou Xingyun was a man of the world. He relied on his political power to dominate the capital. Precisely because he had the backing of the power, Zhou Xingyun was more arrogant than other petty officials in the capital. Even a small official dared to show off.
He showed the posture of a third-grade official.
Han Dongchen, the eldest son of Prince Pingnan, is not a playboy who has achieved nothing. He has gone on expeditions with the generals of Prince Nan since he was a child. He has been on the battlefield and killed foreign invaders. He is twenty-four this year, about five years older than Zhou Xingyun and others. His martial arts has reached the peak level.
He is known as the Little Overlord of the Southern Expedition.
Although Han Dongchen is not from the martial arts world and does not understand the situation in the martial arts world in the Central Plains, he can see that Zhou Xingyun, Wei Suyao and Rao Yue are not weak in martial arts. I think this is one of the reasons why they are so confident.
Secondly, the maids in Zhou Xingyun's mansion are all pretty and beautiful. As long as he is determined, he will be able to win over the ministers in the court. With the ministers in the court supporting him, he will naturally prosper in his small position.
He was obviously supported by high-ranking officials in the court, and secretly assisted by Jianghu forces. It was really a bit different to just serve the emperor.
It’s no wonder that when they bring gifts to their door, little Fengyu will be very familiar with the process and accept the gifts without thinking. In the past, people often gave him gifts...
Thirdly, and most importantly, Zhou Xingyun was not qualified to go to the court to see the Holy Spirit. He did not know the major events in the court, and he did not know that the Nanwangfu had become the most popular faction in the court in the past six months. Even Taifu Xu's power could not compete with it.
Zhou Xingyun is a frog in the well, not knowing the heights of the world. He thinks that with the help of Jianghu forces and the favor of certain ministers, he can compete with the forces of the Southern Palace. Little does he know that millions of powerful soldiers in the South can destroy his Jianghu forces with just a breath.
Once the officials know that he has offended the Nanwang Mansion, they will abandon him without hesitation to avoid getting burned.
Thinking of this, Prince Pingnan couldn't help but stand up from his seat, took two steps forward and walked to Zhou Xingyun, looking down at Zhou Xingyun who was sitting on the chair: "Master Fengyu accepted the apology from our Nanwang Palace, because of emotion and reason.
It’s time to show that you can let the dancer from your palace dance at the Zhennan Palace. This request is not too much."
"Excuse me? What apology? Did I receive a gift today?" Zhou Xingyun also stood up from his chair, took two steps forward, and faced Prince Pingnan face to face without hesitation.
For Sister Xunxuan, the people in Pingnan Palace are either fools with lack of calcium in their brains, or they don't know who Zhou Xingyun is, so they come to Fengyu Palace to cause trouble.
But in Zhou Xingyun's eyes, the people in Pingnan Palace are not only deficient in calcium, they are also deficient in calcium. Isn't it stupid for a fool to go to someone else's house to cause trouble without first checking the other person's background?
Zhou Xingyun really wants to give a suggestion to the Prince Pingnan in front of him. He should quickly find a big girl like Mu Ya to take calcium supplements. Otherwise, his Pingnan Prince's palace will be destroyed sooner or later.
"Master Fengyu is so proud of his official power that he doesn't even give face to the Zhennan Palace. Then don't blame our Nanwang Palace for being domineering in the future." Han Dongchen looked at Zhou Xingyun coldly, with a hint of threat in his tone.
"Hahahaha." Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but laugh, and then retaliated: "What's wrong with your Nanwang Palace? Who do you think you are, Nanwang Palace? How dare the prince of Nanwang Palace pretend to be a high official in my Fengyu Palace?
, I simply don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is! I don’t understand the general trend of the DPRK!”
"Okay, Master Fengyu must remember what you said today." Prince Pingnan smiled tepidly and said: "In time, if Master Fengyu loses power in the court, his wife and children will be separated, and everyone will be reduced to a man in the world.
You might as well come to Prince Nan's Mansion to sit down for a lost dog that screams. If I'm in a good mood, I might be able to give you a way to live a good life. Let's go!"
Prince Pingnan put down his words and waved his hand to signal to the people of Prince Nan's Mansion to leave with him.
"Wait a minute! Why is the prince leaving in such a hurry?" Zhou Xingyun saw that Prince Pingnan was about to leave, so he couldn't help but call them to stop him.
"Mr. Fengyu, has he changed his mind?" Prince Pingnan stopped, thinking that Zhou Xingyun was suppressed by his momentum, and wanted to understand the situation well, lest he really offend someone who should not be offended.
"Shen Xin, Kefu, we seem to have received some garbage in our mansion. You two go and help me clean it up and throw it all out the door." Zhou Xingyun said casually. When the young girl who was sleeping soundly on the beam in the living room heard this, she turned around and threw herself.
Turn down.
When Lord Rao Yue appeared, Zhou Xingyun noticed that there was a girl sleeping on the beam in the living room.
"As ordered..." Sister Kefu bowed to Zhou Xingyun respectfully, and then turned to everyone in the Nanwang Mansion very rudely, tilting her neck and laughing tauntingly: "Hahaha... you can't think about it..."
Zhou Xingyun asked Kefu from Liang Shang to appear not only to make the people in Pingnan Palace realize that there are many masters in his palace, but more importantly...
There were quite a lot of gifts from Prince Pingnan. Shen Xin, a pretty maid with no physical strength, obviously couldn't lift two brocade boxes, so she asked Kefu to help her.
Next, Sister Shen Xin, who understood Zhou Xingyun's intentions, took Ke Fu to the warehouse, took out the apology gift given to Zhou Xingyun by Prince Pingnan, and poured it out of the house in front of him...and dumped it all without ceremony.
.
Zhou Xingyun's meaning is very clear. I don't care about your gifts. I will throw them away now. It is up to you whether you want to recycle them or not.
Originally, Zhou Xingyun wanted to see Prince Pingnan become so angry that he left the jewelry on the ground and left. However, the other party did not follow Zhou Xingyun's advice...
"You guys should pick up all the jewelry on the ground and divide it up. The gifts are innocent. We, the people of Prince Pingnan's Palace, don't have to deal with money." Han Dongchen said with an easy-going smile, not to let the wealth go to others, and motioned to the knife-wielding guards around him.
, put away the property on the ground.
"Shen Xin, close the door." Zhou Xingyun said angrily when he saw this, and motioned to Shen Xin to close the door of Fengyu Mansion, out of sight.
