Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 318 Those who drink to drown their sorrows are the weak

Although the flowers and plants planted in the garden of the General's Mansion are not lush enough, it is spacious and exquisite.

Flowers and branches of various colors complement each other, and shade trees grow neatly beside the winding paths.

The pavilion was built in the center of the pool. Sitting inside, you can enjoy the gentle breeze and the fragrance of flowers.

You can not only enjoy the blooming flowers but also the fish swimming in the pond.

Originally, this was the only place where Xiang Yingxue could relax in the huge general's mansion.

However, since the temporary residence in the side courtyard and the permanent residence in the west courtyard were renovated by Murong Guang, the lush gardens looked dilapidated and old.

The only thing that made her feel interesting was the fish in the garden pond.

Feeding them every day is a great way to relax.

"Princess."

Seeing that the fish in her hand was all eaten up, Xiaoju handed over a piece of cake to feed the fish and said thoughtfully:
"I heard people say that Master Xiaoguang has been drinking heavily these days. Would you like the princess to persuade him?"

"Persuade him?"

Xiang Yingxue smiled faintly in the slight cool breeze: "It's only when you can't think clearly that you need someone to persuade you. Murong Guang is a smart man and he thinks very broadly."

Xiaoju was stunned, blinked Qing, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Since Young Master Xiaoguang is so open-minded, why do you still need to drink to drown your sorrows?"

Xiang Yingxue broke off a piece of cake and threw it away.

There was a little bit of playfulness on his face: "He is angry at himself."

"Hate yourself?"

Xiaoju still couldn't figure it out: "Why does he hate himself?"

Xiang Yingxue lowered her head, working together with her thumb and index finger to pick out the cakes piece by piece as if to relieve her boredom.

"What else can a man be angry at? Angry at his own weakness and incompetence, angry at himself for not being able to pick up and let go."

After throwing in a few pieces of fish food again, she turned her head and glanced at Xiaoju meaningfully.

"My mother once said that those who drown their sorrows in wine are the weak."

Xiaoju recalled the scenes during this period and nodded thoughtfully.He muttered: "Master Xiaoguang is indeed a bit weak. He is obviously King Chen's biological brother. Not only did he fail to help the princess time and time again, but he also caused the princess to be even more humiliated by King Chen..."

She stamped her foot angrily: "If I had known, I shouldn't have cared about him back then and let him starve to death on the streets."

Xiang Yingxue smiled nonchalantly: "If he has the wolf nature of Murong Chen, he might be the one drinking alcohol every day."

Xiaoju then remembered that when the princess escaped, she clearly went to Murong Guang for help, but in the end she almost ended up being killed with a stick.

If the princess hadn't received two sticks for him, he wouldn't have known where his life would have gone.

She disliked Murong Guang more and more, pouted and said, "Then shall we pay attention to him in the future?"

"reason!"

Xiang Yingxue pinched off a large piece of cake and threw it next to the big white fish who usually seemed the stupidest.

"He is so useful, how could he ignore it? But not now!"

"Princess!"

Xiaoju suddenly put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture.

"someone is coming."

Hearing the sound, Xiang Yingxue turned her head slightly and saw Feishi, one of King Chen's followers, hurriedly walking along the patchwork gravel path.

She probably guessed something and frowned tightly.

"your Highness."

After Fei Shi came over, he bowed respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Chen asked you to come over."

The image of Murong Chen gritting his teeth quickly flashed in Xiang Yingxue's mind.

"I asked you to call me husband a few times to add to the fun. Do you really think of yourself as a princess?"

"Do you believe what the man said on the bed?"

She turned her back to Fei Shi, disgust building up little by little on her face.

As if he didn't hear anything, he continued to throw the crushed cakes into the pond one by one.
