Princess Fortune

Chapter 272 Trading
I have to say that what Zhao Lan said is indeed reasonable.

But Xu Tang raised his eyebrows slightly: "So what?"

Zhao Lan put on a half-smile: "Without my help, maybe you and the lord can make things happen, but it will be much more difficult in the end. There is a shortcut right in front of you. It depends on whether you want to go or not."

Xu Tang simply asked: "Why do you have such confidence? Why should I trust you?"

Zhao Lan just said mysteriously: "Since I can help the prince, I can naturally help you too. I naturally have my strengths. As for what it is, I can't tell you."

"However, these days, I have given you some ideas. If you think it is feasible, we will just make a deal."

Of course Xu Tang believed in Zhao Lan's strength.

Not to mention that Zhao Lan is already an old monster, and he can still be regarded as an old monster who can predict the future.

It's just that Zhao Lan, even in his previous life, at a young age, didn't he follow Ye Qingshi all the way to the top?

Xu Tang knew well that Zhao Lan's brain must be much easier to use than his own.

The most important thing for a person is to know the current affairs and know his own strengths and weaknesses.

So Xu Tang didn't resist Zhao Lan too much.

Of course Xu Tang also guessed what Zhao Lan wanted to help him: "You want me to help you pass things on to Eldest Sister?"

"Not only that, but I also want Meihua to live a good life. I will help her get everything she wants." Zhao Lan looked very calm and confident when he said this.

Seeing Zhao Lan's appearance, Xu Tang almost blurted out: But what Eldest Sister wants is you.

Just thinking about Zhao Lan's identity, thinking about Zhao Lan's future life, and thinking about the difficulties they would have if they were really together, Xu Tang suppressed these words.

Xu Tang knew that he was a little selfish.

But after all, Zhao Lan himself didn't want to be with Xu Mei.

So there is no need to think about it any more.

Xu Tang finally nodded: "Since that's the case, let's make a deal."

"Anything I do to help Meihua, you have to take responsibility. From today onwards, I will never appear in front of her again." Zhao Lan lowered her head and said such a sentence, not knowing whether he was lost or not , it sounds calm anyway.

Xu Tang sighed softly, and said with some emotion: "If I knew today, why bother?"

She had warned Zhao Lan back then not to get close to Xu Mei.

But Zhao Lan couldn't listen to a word.

Zhao Lan lowered her head even lower.

Unable to see Zhao Lan's expression clearly, Xu Tang smiled and asked again: "Actually, when I think about it carefully, I really don't understand this matter—what are you planning?"

Zhao Lan was in a trance for a moment.

Finally, he gave a wry smile: "I don't plan anything. Seeing her happy and seeing her live well, I am also happy."

"But why?" Xu Tang felt that even if Zhao Lan liked Xu Mei, he didn't have to go to this extent.

Zhao Lan raised her head and glanced at Xu Tang, her eyes were so complicated that people couldn't understand: "How can you understand? It's me, I didn't understand before."

"However, Plum Blossom saved my life. I, Zhao Lan, will go through fire and water for her all my life."

It seems ironic for an old eunuch like Zhao Lan to say such righteous words.

But for some reason, Xu Tang felt that he should believe it.

Maybe Zhao Lan was too serious when he said this.

Obviously, Zhao Lan didn't want to continue this topic, so he directly talked about another matter: "If you want to marry the prince, there is actually another way. It is to use your identity."

"You mean the Rong family?" Xu Tang understood Zhao Lan's thoughts immediately.

Zhao Lan nodded: "After all, you are Zhen Qingrong's daughter. The Zhen family has already produced a noble concubine, and the queen mother is naturally willing to produce another queen."

After all, they all have the blood of the Rong family.

"But the queen mother is probably most willing to be the young lady of the Rong family." Xu Tang said truthfully: "In this way, the queen mother can get rid of the prince and support the prince's son again. In this way, the Rong family will at least have more children in the future." Decades of scenery."

And a young puppet emperor is the most suitable for the queen mother.

Of course Zhao Lan also knew this, that's why she felt that Miss Rong must not let Ye Qingshi really get married.

"In fact, no matter who it is, after marrying the prince, they must not give birth to an heir before all the dust settles."

Otherwise, it will bring danger to Ye Qingshi.

Of course Xu Tang understood.

"It's best if the back position is left undecided."

Zhao Lan glanced at Xu Tang meaningfully: "I don't understand, going back to Zhen's house is obviously the best choice, why are you so reluctant?"

Xu Tang choked on Zhao Lan's question.

Finally, he gave a wry smile and said ambiguously, "Probably because of resentment."

He resented the Zhen family for not finding him back for so many years.

People who resent the Zhen family are so motivated by interests.

He also resented Rong's cowardice all along.

It is also impossible to face Wang Dahua.

"Besides, it doesn't do any good to get involved in family feuds." Xu Tang smiled indifferently: "It's fine as it is now."

Zhao Lan had a deep meaning: "But paper can't contain fire."

"Then you can keep it a secret for a day." Xu Tang still avoided this matter.

Zhao Lan scoffed.

On the second day, Ye Qingshi went to the banquet as promised.

Master Rong prepared a table of good food and wine.

Mrs. Rong's wife, Mrs. Liu, accompanied her youngest daughter, Rong Jiayu.

Lord Rong has only one son, who is studying in the academy and preparing for the imperial examination.

So not at home either.

Rong Jiayu is fourteen this year.

Looks very juicy.

The most important thing is that she doesn't look like Mr. Rong, but rather like her own aunt Rong.

Because Mr. Rong hadn't talked about Xu Tang with his wife and daughter before, when Liu Shi saw Xu Tang, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced sideways at his daughter.

To be honest, if he didn't know that the person next to him was his daughter, he might admit his mistake if he suddenly saw Mrs. Liu outside.

After all, they are too similar, except that Xu Tang is thinner and has a darker complexion.

The others are just too much alike.

Rong Jiayu looked at Xu Tang firmly.

I couldn't even move my eyes.

He even forgot to salute and say hello, instead he asked in a daze, "Who are you?"

Rong Jiayu was young after all.

It's not surprising to have such a reaction under the shock.

But Xu Tang was prepared, so he didn't panic at all right now, he just calmly greeted Master Rong and Mrs. Liu.

Then he identified himself.

Master Rong smiled and said to Ye Qingshi: "It's ingenious that the parents of the two girls are so similar."
