The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Zuo Xiangning looked at Zuo Ziteng in surprise.

She thought Zuo Ziteng was here to ask her to help Zuo Xiangyu and beg Jiang not to agree to Prince Liang's marriage.

"It has been spread outside that your third sister is going to marry Prince Liang. Even if your third sister doesn't marry, she has to get married." Zuo Ziteng looked at the tea cup in his hand, "If the news continues like this, it will only make your third sister unhappy." It’s even more embarrassing. It’s better to get married now. When she arrives at Prince Liang’s Mansion, she will be the legitimate concubine of Prince Liang, and she is also one of the few women in the capital.”

"Why don't the second brother tell the third sister himself?" Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "You are the elder brother, and your words have more weight than the younger sister."

"She doesn't listen to me." Zuo Ziteng laughed at himself, "She may be able to listen to you now."

Zuo Xiangning really didn't know when Zuo Xiangyu would listen to her.

She looked at Zuo Ziteng and wondered if the King of Liang had promised him any benefits, so he would speak so conscientiously.

"It is impossible for her to be with the fifth prince. The fifth prince will not agree, and the emperor is even less likely to agree." Zuo Ziteng said: "If you are really good for her, you might as well persuade her to recognize the facts early. Prince Liang has already It’s her best choice.”

Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "Second brother, I don't think Prince Liang is the best choice for the third sister, but marriage is the order of the parents. As a matchmaker, I, as a younger sister, really can't talk about it. If possible, I hope the third sister can find someone she likes. Life only lasts a few decades, so there is no need to make yourself miserable."

"Then you marry Prince Ru because you like it?" Zuo Ziteng frowned in displeasure, "Who can be so carefree in life? If you don't do it for yourself, you have to think about others, right?"

"Just because I work for the country and the people, and for others, I don't want the third sister to be like me." Zuo Xiangning sighed, "I also hope that the second brother can find his own happiness."

"Happiness?" Zuo Ziteng sneered and stood up, "Who can be happy?"

After saying that, he strode out of Xianglanzhai.

Zuo Xiangning looked at Zuo Ziteng's back and felt a little sad for Zuo Xiangyu. She really didn't have any plans for her now.

In the afternoon, Mr. Jiang sent someone to invite Zuo Xiangning.

"Go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion and ask your sister why the King of Chu had to let Xiangyu marry Prince Liang? How old is Prince Liang? If Xiangyu marries such a person, what will others think of our family? Why? Look at you sisters?" Jiang said to Zuo Xiangning with an ugly face: "The King of Chu said it was your eldest sister.

Only then did Zuo Xiangning remember that she had never told Jiang that the old lady also wanted to marry Zuo Xiangyu to Liang Wang to fill the house.

"How did the old lady get in touch with Prince Liang's Mansion when she didn't even leave the house?" Jiang asked in confusion.

"The third sister only told me that the old lady told her, and my father should also know." Zuo Xiangning stood up and said, "I'd better ask the eldest sister first."

"Go and come back early. It's windy outside." Jiang sent Zuo Xiangning to the entrance of the courtyard and turned around to go to Shi'an Hall.

The old lady Zuo was afraid that someone would harm her son, so she almost stayed in the wing. When she saw Jiang coming in, she immediately stared, "What are you doing here again?"

"I am the mistress of the Zuo Mansion. Which courtyard can't I enter?" Jiang first glanced at Zuo Yian lying on the bed, then turned to the old lady Zuo and said, "Old lady, the third girl belongs to the master. She is your own granddaughter, how can you be willing to marry her to a man of such an age?" "Prince Liang's Mansion has come to propose marriage?" An excited smile appeared on Mrs. Zuo's face, "This marriage is Her father agreed, what do you mean? Do you still want to disagree? I think you can't afford to offend Prince Liang, right?"

"In your eyes, the love of flesh and blood is indeed worthless." Seeing Mrs. Zuo's conspiratorial face, Jiang lost the mood to tell her any more.

She turned around and left the room, and gave the pill in her hand to the little girl taking care of Zuo Yian, "This is for the old lady."

The little girl lowered her head, took it with both hands, and put it in her arms.

When Zuo Xiangning arrived at Prince Chu's Mansion, Zuo Xiangrong asked strangely: "Why are you here at this time?"

"I miss Brother Hong." Zuo Xiangning smiled, first picked up Brother Hong and kissed him again, and then told Zuo Xiangrong about Zuo Xiangyu.

Zuo Xiangrong's expression changed. She was silent for a while and said, "The King of Chu mentioned this matter to me yesterday, but I didn't think it was appropriate and didn't agree."

The two sisters looked at each other in silence for a while, then Zuo Xiangning asked: "Does the sister know why the King of Chu asked the third sister to marry the King of Liang?"

Zuo Xiangrong said: "The King of Liang used to be in charge of most of the military power in the Jin and Southern Dynasties, and the King of Chu has always been on good terms with him. But the people under him have long been dispersed by the emperor and distributed to various places. Logically speaking, He said that King Liang has no use for him now, so there is no need for King Chu to have a good relationship with him."

Zuo Xiangning thought for a moment, "Unless the King of Liang still has something in his hands that no one can use."

Neither sister could figure out the reason, but Zuo Xiangrong had the same attitude as Jiang, "No matter what happens to Aunt Liu, Xiangyu is our sister. If she marries into Prince Liang's palace, what will outsiders think of our family? Especially, especially It's easier to attract criticism when my father is unconscious."

"Well, I understand." Zuo Xiangning told Zuo Xiangrong worriedly, "You must not have a dispute with His Royal Highness the King of Chu because of this matter. As long as my third sister disagrees, this matter will not happen. You Just pretend you don’t know about this.”

Zuo Xiangrong nodded, but her face remained ugly.

King Chu's two concubines both had younger sisters. Why didn't he let others marry him, but let his younger sister marry him?

In the future, when the King of Chu becomes the emperor, she, as a queen, will end up with a reputation that uses her sister's happiness as a stepping stone for her own wealth. Such a reputation is no less than a bloody wound in her body.

Zuo Xiangning teased Brother Hong for a while, and saw that Zuo Xiangrong next to her always had a serious face. She took her hand and comforted her: "Maybe His Highness the King of Chu didn't tell you, just because he didn't want you to worry. Now the people in the court are watching. Things are calm, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents. It should be difficult for the King of Chu now. If my sister disagrees with the King of Chu now, it will only cause your relationship to grow apart, causing pain to the relatives and joy to the enemies. "

Zuo Xiangrong took a deep breath, smiled and held her hand back: "I know."

"My eldest brother and I are leaving the capital soon. You must not only take good care of yourself, but also take good care of Brother Hong, mother and my third brother." Zuo Xiangning said: "Sister has a heavy responsibility, and you can't make a mistake at all."

"I know." Zuo Xiangrong's smile was full of melancholy, "I understand everything in my heart, but too many things have happened this year. I always thought that I was the happiest woman in the world, until After I got pregnant, I discovered that my previous happiness was just because I closed one eye."

Zuo Xiangning said softly: "The road before has been walked. Sister, it's all said and done. But for the next road, we must open our eyes and see clearly the road under our feet."
