Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 148: A Bet on a Wife (5)
"Cousin, you are in a good mood recently!" The young man in a sapphire blue satin leather robe held a crystal cup in his hand, looked intently at the ruby-like wine in the cup, and said with a leisurely smile.This young man is none other than Xiao Yi, the Seventh Prince under his knee.

"It can't compare to your cousin, you are happy!" Xiao Ze replied with a smile, took a sip of the wine in the crystal glass, and let out a satisfied sigh from his mouth, this wine tastes so delicious!

"What do I have to do, that guy Jingming looks like he's suffering from lovesickness for the past few days, it makes me have a headache!" Xiao Yi said complainingly.

"Ha... That kid will fall in lovesickness? Cousin, don't be kidding, isn't that kid's favorite thing is his pair of tiger-headed maces?" Xiao Ze laughed, and there is no such thing as a sickness when he was in Prince Ning's mansion. Yan Yan didn't even seem to be able to say a word smoothly.

"Really, Jingming was drunk the other day. I heard him talking about Sister Du all the time, and when I asked him again, he was already drunk to death. Cousin, who the hell is this Sister Du? Never forget?" Xiao Yi is also a good gossip, his eyes are amazingly bright when he talks about these gossips.

Xiao Ze was startled, but his face didn't show it at all, he just pretended to be confused and said: "Sister Du, it's so vulgar! You can only call it out by Jingming. By the way, the old Duke didn't order death, and Jingming was dissatisfied Is it forbidden to get married at eighteen? And he has to have more than three grandchildren before he can leave Beijing. I see, this kid is the pig's life!"

Xiao Yi tilted his head to look at his cousin who was only three months older than him, and said suspiciously: "Cousin, could it be that the wine has gone bad, why is it so sour?"

"Don't talk nonsense, kid, why are you sore?" Xiao Ze slapped Xiao Yi's face with a slap, and he was not polite at all, and he didn't treat him like a prince at all.Xiao Yi was not angry either, and pulled Xiao Ze's hand off his face with a smile, moved his buttocks and sat next to his cousin, bumped Xiao Ze's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Hey, are you in a position?"

"It's nothing to worry about, you're an imposing prince anyway, can you be a little bit straight?" Xiao Ze gave his cousin a disdainful look, really looking down on his indifferent and lazy look.

Xiao Yi moved back to his seat and sat down, and suddenly said in a serious manner: "Okay, let's talk about business, the war in northern Xinjiang is tense recently, and my father intends to increase troops in northern Xinjiang, do you think I should ask for an order to go to war or continue to stay in the nest?"

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Ze said, "You stay in the capital and don't go anywhere."

"Well, I've thought about it carefully, and it seems that it's better not to leave Beijing, but that boy Jingming kept urging me to ask for an order to lead the army to go out." Xiao Yi nodded and said.

Xiao Ze put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice: "A Yi, you must not send troops, the emperor is in his prime, this is not the time for you to make military exploits."

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "I understand, don't show yourself too much at this time to avoid jealousy."

Xiao Ze sat upright and said: "That's right. Ah Yi, there may be news that I'm critically ill after a while, you know that."

Xiao Yi was surprised and said: "Cousin, what do you want to do, didn't we discuss that you will gradually recover?"

Xiao Ze said with a mysterious smile: "Critical illness is the most important part of my recovery plan."

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "What are you making a fuss about? By the way, Jingming keeps asking me who you are. We are all together. We can't keep hiding it from him."

Xiao Ze pondered for a long time before saying in a low voice: "Let's keep it a secret for a while, wait for me... when the time is right, I will talk to him in detail."

"This...cousin, you and Jingming are my dead brothers. I only hope that the three of us will be good brothers who will never give up." Xiao Yi seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said to Xiao Ze. Talked up.

Xiao Ze thought for a long time before nodding his head and said: "Okay, the three of us will go to Shenxiu Peak tomorrow at exactly the right time, and I will explain myself to Jingming on the peak."

Xiao Yi nodded, and suddenly said: "Cousin, don't break the friendship between brothers because of a woman."

Xiao Ze's heart tightened, he looked straight at his cousin, and said firmly: "Ah Yi, if a woman can destroy the friendship, do you think that is still true friendship, no matter what happens, we will see the result tomorrow on Shenxiu Peak. It's getting late, I have to go back to the palace first."

Xiao Yi stood up, looked at his cousin who had never looked so serious before, and nodded heavily.After walking a few steps, Xiao Ze suddenly turned around and said, "Ah Yi, ask Jingming to bring his tiger-headed double mace."

The next day at exactly the right time, the Seventh Prince Xiao Yi, the third son of Prince Ning's Mansion Xiao Ze, and the Lord of the Town Wu Jingming will meet at the peak of Shenxiu Peak in the northern suburbs of the capital.Wu Jingming looked at Xiao Ze and said with a smile, "You are His Royal Highness's best friend? It is really Jingming's fortune to meet you today."

Xiao Ze clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I've been hiding my identity from Brother Jingming for the past few years, and I feel uneasy. Today, I'm telling you my real identity, and please forgive me for concealing it. Brother Jingming, my surname is Xiao Mingze, and I'm Ning The third son of the Prince's Mansion, a well-known sick child in the capital."

"What? You are the third son of Prince Ning's mansion?" Wu Jingming's eyeballs almost fell to the ground in shock. The rumors he had heard all the time did not match the person in front of him. It is said that the third son of Prince Ning's mansion The young master doesn't even have the strength to hold the bowl, so he has to be carried by the servants when he moves, but this person in front of him is completely different!

Xiao Ze was wearing a ferret fur robe with cross-collared jade-colored dark patterns and quarters. Instead of a jade belt, a soft steel sword was girdled around his waist. Although he looked thin, he was very capable. Wu Jingming could even Feel the powerful power contained in the thin body.

"Third Young Master!" Wu Jingming greeted with clasped fists, Xiao Ze immediately shook his head and said, "I am younger than Brother Jingming, Brother Jingming calls me Aze."

Wu Jingming was not a rigid person either, so he smiled and called out, "Ah Ze! You have been hiding it all these years!"

Xiao Ze said helplessly: "I have to do this in order to save my life. I came to see brother Jingming today. Firstly, I told him about my real identity. Secondly, I also had a happy event with Brother Jingming and Ah Yi. I want you two to be happy for me too. .”

Wu Jingming smiled and asked: "Oh, Ah Ze has a happy event, that's really gratifying." But Xiao Yi had a sad face, and he had already thought of what Xiao Ze wanted to say next.

"Brother Jingming, Aze, I have asked my mother and concubine to propose marriage to Miss Du in the General's Mansion of Jianwei." After Xiao Ze said a word, Wu Jingming's face immediately changed, he stepped back a few steps and said: "You... What are you talking about, who do you want to propose marriage to?"
