Love the concubine

Chapter 45
Originally, Yun Xi focused on the pastries in front of her, but when she heard Ling Wuying mentioned downstairs, her attention was immediately attracted.

Yun Xi looked downstairs at this time, and saw the storyteller continue to say: "Everyone knows that the current Prince Ping was originally the second prince in the palace! Three years ago, because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, he was named King Ping by the emperor. It means 'pacify the world'!"

"However, what I want to talk about today, my little old man, is not about Prince Ping's heroic killing of the enemy back then, but about the unknown eccentricity behind this young God of War!" Having said this, the storyteller opened the folding fan in his hand, leisurely He picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

Hearing this, Yun Xi also became a little curious. Could it be that Ling Wuying has some hidden illness?Thinking of this, Yun Xi looked at Ling Wuying, only to see that he was also looking at the people downstairs with a slight frown.

Seeing that Ling Wuying had been staring downstairs without saying a word, Yun Xi propped her chin with one hand, stretched out the other hand enough for him, and after pulling his gaze over, she looked at him with a smile and asked Said: "Hey, what quirk do you have?"

"Do you believe what the storyteller made up?" Ling Wuying made himself a cup of tea, then continued to glance downstairs.

Seeing him like this, Yun Xi picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ate it nonchalantly, and then kept paying attention to the movement downstairs, and then heard the people downstairs all questioning.

"What eccentricity does Prince Ping have?"

"That's right! What exactly is it, you should tell me quickly!"

"Slowly, isn't this whetting our appetites!"

Seeing everyone's eagerness to know, and knowing that this hurdle is too hot, the storyteller slowly put down the teacup, and then continued: "Everyone, don't worry, I want to know what Prince Ping's eccentricity is. And listen to me in detail." After speaking, he knocked on the table again.

"If you want to talk about Prince Ping, you can be said to be a good-looking talent, handsome and handsome! But now he is seventeen years old, and he has already reached the age of marriage. Why hasn't he established a princess yet?" Speaking of Here, he straightened his face again, and said: "The reason is that Prince Ping has a strange disease!"

"Strange illness? Could it be that he didn't lift?" A person who came to drink tea suddenly said this, and then everyone burst into laughter.

Hearing this, Yun Xi was almost choked. After taking a peek at Ling Wuying's gloomy face, she secretly thought again: I don't know if the people downstairs know what they said. Speaking of Prince Ping, what will be the expressions on their faces after sitting here and listening to what they said?

Just as he was thinking this way, Yun Xi heard someone come up and retort: ​​"No, didn't you just say that the sage made a decree a few days ago to marry Prince Ping and Miss Yun Wu of the prime minister's mansion? How could there be such a thing?" What strange disease? Stop talking nonsense here!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone thought that the storyteller was making it up, and they all said that he was fooling them.

But after hearing everyone's words, the storyteller was anxious and didn't refute. Instead, he nodded and admitted: "Yes! That's right, there is indeed such a thing! But do you know who this Miss Yun Wu is?"

"Isn't it the current Prime Minister, Yun Zhenghai's daughter?" Someone in the crowd replied.

Hearing this, the storyteller looked at the man, pointed at him with the folding fan in his hand, and said, "This guest officer is right, but you are only half right! Although Miss Yun Wu is the prime minister's daughter, but Not favored, moreover!" At this point he paused again.

After knocking hard on the table, the storyteller continued: "Besides, Miss Yun Wu is only a nine-year-old girl now!"

"What? Fifth Miss is only nine years old?"

"No way? How can such a young child be a princess!"

For a while, there was a lot of discussion downstairs, talking about everything.

Yun Xi upstairs, after hearing what they said, pouted with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with nine years old? Who stipulated that nine years old can't be a princess? This girl just wants to be one for them to see! Hmph !” After finishing speaking, she picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

After Ling Wuying heard this, he glanced at her without any trace, and then looked downstairs, his eyes became a little darker.

Then, the storyteller's voice came from downstairs and said: "That's right! Miss Yun Wu is indeed only nine years old, and this is also related to what I said earlier that Prince Ping has a strange disease!"

As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, a listener asked, "Could it be that you want to say that Prince Ping doesn't like women, but little dolls?"

When they heard what they were talking about, Yun Xi couldn't help but secretly smiled again, and then turned her head cautiously to look at Ling Wuying. At this glance, she found that his face had turned dark and scary.

Seeing him like this, Yun Xi reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and said to him, "Hey, don't take it to heart, they just don't know."

Hearing what Yunxi said, Ling Wuying looked back at her, and his face softened a little.At this time, the storyteller's voice came from downstairs again.

"This little brother is really smart, he can understand everything!" The storyteller praised the speaker just now without hesitation, and then he continued to say to everyone: "That's right, things are just as this little brother guessed! It is precisely because of this that Prince Ping has not established a concubine until now!"

Afterwards, the storyteller looked at the big guy and asked, "Everyone knows about the Hundred Flowers Festival a few days ago, right?"

Hearing the storyteller's question, everyone nodded and said yes, and then the storyteller continued: "Every year on the Hundred Flowers' Birthday, the palace holds a Hundred Flowers Banquet. Participate." At this point, the storyteller stopped.

After drinking a cup of tea, he continued: "The current emperor is also very worried about Prince Ping's marriage, so on the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, he said that he would give Prince Ping a concubine! In addition to the ladies from famous families who have been invited, there are more than ten young ladies who are waiting to enter the boudoir!"

"At that time, Prince Ping took Miss Fifth of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If all the ladies were to compare their talents, Miss Yun Wu, who was only nine years old, would definitely not be able to compare with the other ladies."

"So! Prince Ping came up with an idea, that is: choose a concubine with an arrow!"

When the storyteller mentioned this, some people below began to whisper to each other, and then the storyteller continued: "When choosing a concubine with an arrow, Prince Ping deliberately shot the arrow at Miss Yunwu. Everyone can think about the purpose. And I know."

Hearing that the scholar talked about this, everyone knew something in their hearts. At this time, someone said regretfully: "Oh! I never expected that Prince Ping, who is known as the young god of war, would have such a strange disease! What a pity!"

"Puff! Cough cough cough" Yun Xi, who was eating, heard what the people below said, but finally couldn't hold back her smile, because she was still eating at this time, so when she laughed, she put her mouth in her mouth. All the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes were sprayed out, and in the end I was choked and coughed non-stop.

Seeing her like this, Ling Wuying immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, then said with a cold face, "That's unreasonable! When will it be their turn to make up things about this king!"

Yun Xi took a sip of the tea that Ling Wuying handed over, and after hearing what he said, he quickly swallowed the tea and said, "The reason they spread it like this is because your actions are so strange, be a good prince! But marrying a child like me, anyone else would be wrong! So, in the final analysis, the reason is still on you!" After finishing speaking, she put the tea bowl back on the table.

After hearing her words, Ling Wuying narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Child? What do you do like a child?"

What kid can still behave calmly when encountering robbers?And which family's child would dare to insult him, the prince, when he was drunk?If there is, I'm afraid only Yun Xi in front of me will do this, right?
However, he never treated her as an ordinary child. From the first time he rescued her from the water, he knew that Yunxi was not as pure and simple as she appeared on the outside.

After Yun Xi heard what he said, she was startled suddenly. Could it be that Ling Wuying saw something?
However, she soon understood that the reason why Ling Wuying said that was mainly because the things she did these days were not in line with her current age!

Thinking of this, Yun Xi put his hands on his chin and smiled and said to him: "Don't say that! I'm just more mature than ordinary children! After all, I'm still only nine years old."

Hearing what she said, Ling Wuying didn't say anything, and then Shao Qing rushed over with Xiao Xiao.

"Miss!" After seeing her own lady, Xiao Xiao quickly ran over.

Hearing the small voice, Yun Xi immediately sat up and looked towards the stairs, only to see Xiao Xiao trot towards her.

When Xiaoxiao came to her side, she looked at Xiaoxiao and said, "Why are you here now? It's so slow! I've already finished my tea." As she spoke, she picked up the tea from the table and drank it. The teacup was upside down.

At this time, Shao Qing also came to the top, and after slightly arching his hands to Ling Wuying, he heard Yun Xi say this, so he replied respectfully: "Second Master's Chasing Shadow is a thousand-mile horse, and we are Those who come here by carriage naturally cannot compare with the speed of Chasing Shadow!"

Hearing this, Yun Xi nodded as if understanding, and then heard Ling Wuying say: "Shao Qing, in a while, you go and arrest the storyteller downstairs, and order him not to be a storyteller in Xuanrui's country again." ! Treat it as his punishment for spreading rumors here!"

"Yes!" Shao Qing was ordered to go down to arrest people, but Yun Xi hurriedly shouted to him at this moment: "Hey! Wait!!"
