As soon as Xiao Qianwei returned to his house, he immediately fell into a chair and didn't return to his mind for a long time. Zhu Chuyu, who was sitting in his study reading the account books, glanced at him somewhat puzzled and said, "what's the matter, Lord?" seeing Xiao Qianwei's white face and sweating, it was clear that he was frightened. Have you been scolded by your majesty again?

Xiao Qianwei closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Only then did he stabilize his mind and said in a deep voice, "just now in the court hall, your majesty almost canonized the king of Chu as the prince."

Zhu Chuyu was also startled, and his fingers trembled when he held the account book. "How could it be? The father didn't mention the establishment of a reserve all the time?" Xiao Qianwei clenched his teeth and said, "it's not those vassal kings! What do you have to do when you're full? If you don't establish a reserve, the state will be unstable!" Zhu Chuyu frowned, "that's it, facing the court..." These days, they are not completely useless. Compared with the unattainable king of Chu, the approachable King Zheng is obviously easier to get close to people. Even if the people under Wei Junmo are in important positions, they are young and the number is not dominant.

Xiao Qianwei said, "don't you know the father's temper? Forcing him to do things he's not happy to do will only backfire. Those fools think they can follow the trend, but they don't know that they are also shouting, and the father's heart will be more and more bored. If I hadn't reacted, I'm afraid the father's will would have been exported."

Zhu Chuyu was also secretly surprised and relieved when he heard the speech.

"The father's doing so at least proves that he really has the intention of making the king of Chu the prince." Zhu Chuyu frowned.

Xiao Qianwei smiled bitterly. "I don't know. But now there is only one in the eyes of my father. Which of our three brothers can let him see? Even if my father really made up his mind to set him up today, we have no way." looking at his decadent face, Zhu Chuyu frowned slightly, "is the king going to give up?"

Xiao Qianwei's face changed and said in a cold voice, "who says the king is going to give up? It's still a long time! Who wins and who loses is unknown!"

Zhu Chuyu nodded and said with a smile, "that's right. The prince must not lose confidence in himself. Although the king of Chu is very powerful, his weakness is also obvious. Therefore, it is the prince who gets the support of most people and courtiers, not the king of Chu." Xiao Qianwei's face gradually improved, nodded slightly and said, "the princess is right. I will think about it."

Zhu Chuyu smiled, "only when the prince is well can I be well."

Xiao Qianwei said, "well, after today's event, my father should not mention it for the time being. By the way, how's the marriage between your eldest brother and Miss Lin jialiu?"

Zhu Chuyu lowered her eyes and said with some regret: "the Lin family quietly sent Lin Han to the Zhu family just after the new year. There was nothing except a few dowries. It is said that Lin Han's name has been eliminated from the Lin family tree."

Xiao Qianwei narrowed his eyes. "The Lin family has made up their mind not to have Lin Han as their daughter?"

Zhu Chuyu nodded, "it seems so. The old man of the Lin family said he doted on his daughter. If something like this happened, he didn't hesitate to abandon it."

Xiao Qianwei snorted, "I don't appreciate it!"

Zhu Chuyu held his arm and said faintly, "Your Highness doesn't have to be angry. The Lin family is most driven by the wind. Now there is Lin Changfeng, the son of Lin Changfeng, who is at the height of the sun in the court. He is still looking forward to Lin Changfeng returning to the Lin family. Naturally, he won't be willing to turn to us." Xiao Qianwei sneered: "in that case, it's better to change the owner!"

Zhu Chuyu pursed his lips and smiled, "what the LORD said is right."

The emperor's longevity day is approaching, and the vassal kings from all over the country have also returned to Jinling with their families. People have held banquets in Jinling imperial city these days. It's not lively. The posts sent to Nangong Mo are not broken every day. Princess Zhou hosted a banquet today, Princess Kang invited to the play tomorrow, and Princess Zhao invited to enjoy the flowers the day after tomorrow. Each status is noble and of high seniority, so it's impossible not to appreciate it.

Nangong Mo naturally knew the sudden storm in the court because of the prince. Therefore, when attending the banquet, she was looked at by all kinds of eyes and tested by all kinds of characters. For a time, even the energetic Princess of Chu felt a little tired and unable to cope with it. You can't judge a man by his appearance. One by one, these ladies look at being pampered, delicate and soft, and their pressure resistance seems to be stronger than her.

Because of these things, Nangong Mo was stunned when the people below came to tell Princess Lingxiang to see her. Since the night of new year's Eve, although I have seen Princess Lingxiang several times at various banquets, I haven't spoken, and Nangong Mo has gradually forgotten. I didn't expect Princess Lingxiang to visit in person.

"Only princess Lingxiang?" Nangong Mo asked.

Qu Lianxing nodded and said with a smile, "there is really only princess Lingxiang."

Nangong Mo frowned, got up and said, "please wait a minute. I'll come later."

"Yes, princess." Qu Lianxing respectfully left. Now she is the internal steward of Princess Chu, and she is in charge of all the big and small affairs of Princess Chu's house. Although there are many things, the whole person is more and more radiant. In recent years, after training with Nangong Mo, Qu Lianxing of Chenzhou can't compare with him in dealing with people and affairs. Qu Lianxing also felt more and more that she was really lucky to meet princess Chu. It's much happier to have a career with your own efforts than to marry into gaomen and be a noble lady of gold and jade. Although many people under Wei Junmo wanted to propose to her, Qu Lianxing refused without hesitation. He just followed Nangong Mo wholeheartedly to do his own business.

Princess Lingxiang sat in the hall, drinking tea and thinking about what to say later. But I saw a gorgeous woman in a peach dress walking in, with bright eyes and looking forward to life. I couldn't help but be surprised. I heard that there was no woman beside the king of Chu except the princess of Chu. There was not even a room, but I didn't expect that there was such a gorgeous woman. Although Qu Lianxing does not have the clear and beautiful face and momentum of Princess Chu, she is also bright and charming. No matter where it is placed, it will make women alert and hostile.

"Princess, the princess is still involved in some trivial things. If there is any neglect, please forgive her." Qu Lianxing said with a smile.

Princess Lingxiang saw that she was generous. Although she looked charming, her eyebrows were clear. I think she was really not a concubine. Then he nodded slightly, "I'm disturbing the princess. This girl is..."

Qu Lianxing worshipped YingYing and said with a smile, "I don't dare to be a princess. I'll lick Qu Lianxing and be in charge of the king's house of Chu."

"It's Qu steward."

Princess Lingxiang really admires Nangong mo. she puts such a stunning beauty beside her and lets her take charge of the steward power of the king's house of Chu. Isn't she worried that Qu Lianxing will have a different heart and eat it back? However, if Nangong Mo was really so generous, it would be a good thing for her.

Qu Lianxing didn't care what Princess Lingxiang was thinking. She just drank tea with her for a while and talked about gossip. Although the two people tried to test each other, neither of them was a fuel-efficient lamp, but no one had any test results, so they had to face each other speechless.

Not long after, there was a light sound of footsteps outside the door. Princess Lingxiang stood up first. Nangong Mo appeared at the door in plain clothes. "Princess Lingxiang, wait a long time."

Princess Lingxiang said with a smile, "no, it's the princess who bothered the princess."

"Princess." Qu Lianxing came forward to salute.

Nangong Mo nodded with a smile and went to the main seat to sit down. Qu Lianxing did not sit with her anymore, but stood at the head of Nangong Mo, with a respectful and docile look, which did not reduce her elation when she fought with Princess Lingxiang just now. Princess Lingxiang picked her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm taking the liberty to visit. There are really some important things I want to discuss with the princess. I wonder if I can... Take a step to talk?" she looked at Qu Lianxing and signaled that she wanted to talk to Nangong Mo alone.

Nangong Mo nodded slightly. Qu Lianxing blessed Fu and turned away.

Looking at her out, Princess Lingxiang sighed, "it's really a good blessing for the princess to have a large number of talents."

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "the princess is flattered. I don't know what the princess wants to talk to me alone?"

Princess Lingxiang looked at her and said, "the princess must also know that Nanyue and Daxia have the intention of making peace?" Nangong Mo nodded slightly and didn't speak. Princess Lingxiang sighed and said, "it's presumptuous to come here today. I really have a heartless request."

Nangong Mo Xiumei was slightly picky. Obviously, she was curious about Princess Lingxiang's so-called unkind invitation.

Princess Lingxiang sighed: "His Majesty the great Xia emperor has only four princes, so the court is very stable and harmonious. But I don't know, I'm South Vietnam... There are only a dozen princesses under my father's knee, and I rank 11th. The eldest sister Hua Huang is 20 years older than me. Now she is the patriarch's wife of the largest tribe in South Vietnam, and the rest are no less. Let alone more than a dozen royal brothers..."

Nangong Mo frowned slightly and remained silent.

Princess Lingxiang continued: "originally, my father intended to marry me to the South Vietnamese national defense general, but I invited him to marry Daxia. Really, I want to find a way to live for myself. The national defense general has a heavy army. How can my imperial sisters and brothers let me master such a great force?"

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "I heard that the princess of Nanyue can also master power."

Princess Lingxiang smiled: "Yes, although South Vietnam has not yet gone abroad as a queen, it does not limit the princess's power as long as she has that ability. Therefore, the struggle in the South Vietnam palace becomes more and more intense. My father loves me, but it's a pity that I'm young. When I grow up, I've... Instead of everyone treating me as a thorn in the eye and struggling to survive, it's better to leave South Vietnam and have peace."

Nangong Mo looked at Princess Lingxiang and asked, "then why did the princess come to the king's house of Chu?"

Princess Lingxiang said, "I hope Princess Chu can accept me..."

Seeing that Nangong Mo's face was slightly heavy, Princess Lingxiang hurriedly said, "the princess misunderstood me. Lingxiang had no intention of his Highness the king of Chu. I want to ask the princess to be my side princess so that I can have a place to live in the summer. Ten years later, Lingxiang will leave the summer when Nanyue doesn't pay attention to my whereabouts. During this period, I promise I won't have any undue thoughts about his Highness the king of Chu."

Nangong Mo looked at Princess Lingxiang in surprise. What the South Vietnamese princess said made her feel quite interested.

"The princess doesn't believe me?" Princess Lingxiang frowned and asked.

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "no, I'm just a little strange."

Princess Lingxiang smiled bitterly, "let the princess laugh. The whole summer... In addition to entering the palace, I'm afraid only princess Chu can provide me with a safe place to live. If the princess can promise, Lingxiang will never forget her great kindness."

Nangong Mo drooped her eyes and mused. Princess Lingxiang was not in a hurry. Nangong Mo certainly couldn't promise her this kind of thing right away. But she thought she still had a chance, "I heard... The courtiers in the summer are very few and have some complaints about the backyard of King Chu's house. If the princess can fulfill Lingxiang, it's a double benefit, isn't it?"

Nangong Mo raised his head, looked at Princess Lingxiang for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid my imperial concubine can't help the princess."

Hearing the speech, Princess Lingxiang was stunned. Some unknown, so Princess Chu... Turned her down so crisp? Why?

"Why? Princess, I'm serious..."

Nangong Mo raised her hand to stop what she wanted to say and said, "it has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not and whether the princess means anything to the Lord." Princess Lingxiang was at a loss, "what... Is it for?"

Nangong Mo said, "there will be no one in King Chu's house."

"How is this possible?" Princess Lingxiang said. "Does the princess think... This kind of thing is realistic?" even in South Vietnam, women's status is higher than that of summer, but there are still not a few men with three wives and four concubines, and the royal family of South Vietnam is a group of wives and concubines, for fear that it is not enough. Da Xia is more strict than South Vietnam, and Da Xia is also more powerful and vast than South Vietnam. As the eldest son of Da Xia, how can he have only one wife and not even a concubine? Even if the royal family and courtiers can endure for a while, they can't endure for a lifetime.

Princess Lingxiang looked at Nangong Mo strangely and said, "does the princess really believe that the king of Chu will be devoted to you all his life?"

Princess Lingxiang felt that the woman in plain clothes sitting in front of her was a little ridiculous. It's said that the princess of Chu in the summer is so good that she turned out to be such a naive woman?

Nangong Mo raised his eyes, as if he didn't see the disapproval in her eyes. Light way: "it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Can you concentrate on it all your life and know it only after you spend your life, don't you?"

Princess Lingxiang was relieved that she was not really so stupid.

"The princess knows it's impossible, so why..."

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "however, I really believe him now."

“……”

After a long silence, Princess Lingxiang sighed helplessly and said, "since the princess believes in his Highness the king of Chu, why can't you make it convenient for me? Naturally, I won't repay the princess and his Highness the king of Chu."

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "because I don't like anyone except me to label him, even if I know it's fake. In addition... Does the princess really just want to find a place to live? Or is it that I'm really a credulous person in the princess's eyes?"
