Chapter 26 An insult

Lang Zhuo met several colleagues in the princess's house. After chatting for a few words, he was walking out when he saw Bei Sheng coming in with Xiao Xu with a smile on his face. The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, looking relaxed and at ease.

However, when Bei Sheng's eyes met Lang Zhuo's, he suddenly became cautious again.

Lang Zhuo asked: "Aren't you leaving? Why are you back again?"

Xiao Xu said: "It's me who invited Miss Xu in again."

Bei Sheng smiled: "It's not easy to come to the eldest princess's mansion, but I haven't tasted the delicious food yet."

Lang Zhuo said calmly: "There's no one you know well here, you..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just make arrangements for Miss Xu Er." Xiao Xu glanced at Bei Sheng with a smile, and Bei Sheng also looked at him with a smile.

Lang Zhuo knew that this was the first time the two met, but he saw something different in Bei Sheng's eyes.

When she looked at herself, she looked cautious and respectful. When she looked at Zhao Shu, she had a smile on her face, but there was a bit of coping in her eyes. Only towards Xiao Xu, she smiled sincerely and kindly.

Everyone looked down upon Xiao Xu, but Beisheng treated him sincerely. Previously she was worried that others would bind her to Xiao Xu, but now...

Lang Zhuo didn't say any more, and bowed his hands to Xiao Xu Gong, "In this case, I'm overly worried, so I'll take my leave."

Seeing him swinging his broad sleeves and striding away with the flying flowers, Beisheng's anxious heart relaxed.

She didn't know why she was so reserved in front of Lang Zhuo. After being in contact with him for a long time, she knew that Lang Zhuo was not an evil person. He just looked serious and upright. Maybe it was his high status that made people stay away from him.

Beisheng continued to follow Xiao Xu, and Xiao Xu said: "Sister Yan is here today. Miss Xu is not familiar with the other female relatives. Sister Yan is a compatriot with King Leping's mother, and King Leping is with Duke Anguo. Come on, Miss Xu Er will sit next to Sister Yan after entering."

Beisheng didn't hear clearly what Xiao Xu was saying behind her, but as soon as the word "竗" was spoken, her face darkened.

In her previous life, she was attached to Zhao Shu and loved Zhao Shu, but she didn't expect that in the end, Zhao Shu would get engaged to Princess Fanyang Xiao Yan without saying a word. Later I found out that it was Nanyin who encouraged King Leping to persuade Zhao Shu to marry Xiao Yu after learning that Duke An Guo wanted to marry Beisheng to Zhao Shu.

Xiao Yan originally disagreed with the relationship between uncles and cousins, but in order to help King Leping, Concubine Zhao let Gao Yanghou's Zhao Jiajun be used by Xiao Yi. She shook her tongue, and Xiao Yan agreed.

Nan Yin's move could be described as killing two birds with one stone. He helped King Leping and pushed Bei Sheng to the crown prince. Beisheng's marriage was hopeless, so Xu Zhaoting had no choice but to send her to the palace to participate in the selection of the crown princess.

Later, King Leping became angry with the emperor, killed the prince with a knife, and became the emperor through rebellion. Xu Nanyin became the queen and forced Beisheng to bury the prince.

Xiao Yan was Xu Nanyin's key move to push Bei Sheng into a trap.

After Xiao Yan and Zhao Shu got engaged in the previous life, Princess Boling selected the crown princess for the prince Xiao Xun. All the girls who participated in the selection went to Caga Palace to learn court etiquette from Nühong, and Xiao Yan was among them.

He said that he was taking this opportunity to follow Princess Boling to learn female beauty, but in fact he was keeping an eye on these girls to see who was most likely to become the crown princess, whose family was close to the prince, and whose strength could be the crown prince's. Provide assistance.

The murder of the prince was also due to Princess Fanyang Xiao Yan.

Now everything has not started yet, the prince is hiding in Runing to treat his injuries, King Leping has not yet thought of treason, Nanyin is also confined at home to recuperate, Zhao Shu's heart is still with Beisheng, and Xiao Yan is just Xiao Yan.

Beisheng breathed a sigh of relief and followed Xiao Xu into the banquet.

Everyone's eyes turned to him again. This girl is really special. First she was Zhao Shu, then Lang Zhuo, and now Xiao Xu. Today she has entered the princess's house for the third time.

Xiao Xucai ignored these glances and led Bei Sheng to the side of Princess Fan Yang, Xiao Yan.

Beisheng saw Pei Zheng in the crowd, remembered what happened before, and said to Xiao Xu, "I'll sit there. I met Mr. Pei today."

After Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, he led Bei Sheng to Pei Zheng's place. But when Pei Zheng saw Bei Sheng and Xiao Xu walking together, chatting and laughing, he immediately poked the person next to him in the arm, attracting a group of dandies to look over.

Mr. Pei smiled evilly and said, "This is the first time I see Mr. Xu walking with a girl. It is Mr. Xu's blessing that he can win the favor of Miss Xu Er."

Everyone laughed.

Beisheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Why are you making fun of Mr. Pei like this? I'm thinking of all of you here. I have only spoken to Mr. Pei, so I asked Mr. Xu to bring me over to sit with Mr. Pei."

The smiling faces of the people around him turned from Xiao Xu to Pei Zheng, who could no longer laugh at this moment.

Everyone is used to laughing at Xiao Xu, and Pei Zheng is no exception. But he forgot for a moment. When he laughed at Xiao Xu, he also laughed at Miss Xu Er. Miss Xu Er is the daughter of An Guogong, the student of Lang Zhuo, the chief minister of the cabinet, and the classmate and confidant of Gaoyang Hou Shizi.

Xiao Xu had long been accustomed to others treating him like this. He said, "Why don't I take Miss Xu Er to sit outside?"

Beisheng turned around and saluted Xiao Xu respectfully, smiling warmly, "I'll just sit here. Mr. Xu can just go about his business and don't worry about me."

After she finished speaking, she sat down in the empty seat next to Pei Zheng.

After Xiao Xu left, Pei Zheng raised his glass to her and said, "Men are used to joking with each other. Second lady, please don't blame me."

Beisheng also raised his glass to him and said with a smile: "Master Pei, what are you talking about? A little joke is nothing, but today is the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so you should be careful with your words."

"I'll keep this in mind next time."

The people around him were speechless and said nothing.

Xu Beisheng was very aware of the virtues of this group of people. Although all the invitations to this banquet were signed by Xiao Xu, the people who came to the banquet today came because of the eldest princess's sake, not Xiao Xu's.

How could everyone not know the painstaking efforts of the eldest princess? Everything in the eldest princess's mansion was taken care of by Xiao Xu, just to let everyone see Xiao Xu's ability.

So what if the ability is great? Xiao Xu was still the bloodline of Tuoba Hu. In order to prevent the Tuoba clan from invading Dajing, Duke An Guo and Marquis Gao Yang stationed at the border for twenty-two years. Many sons of common people rushed to the battlefield and stained the border with blood.

Based on this hatred, Dajing could not accept Xiao Xu, even if he had half of Dajing's blood.

Now that Tuoba Hu is dead, his other son Tuoba Lang is still watching covetously outside the gates of Dajing. Who knew that one day, Xiao Xu and Tuoba Lang would work together as brothers to attack Dajing from both inside and outside?
  Therefore, it is best for Xiao Xu to always be so cowardly and weak. With such Xiao Xu, the courtiers and people of Dajing can rest assured.

However, being wary and ridiculing are two different things. You can isolate Xiao Xu and alienate him because of his bloodline, but you cannot mock him and treat him as a plaything.

A slant-eyed man in a green brocade robe next to him smiled slightly and said, "My lord, Ge Hong, is on duty in the Ministry of Punishment now. I have met Miss Xu Er. Do you know whether she is familiar with Mr. Xu?"

Bei Sheng said: "I'm not familiar with you. It's the first time I'll see you today."

"I think so, girl, look over there."

Ge Hong raised his chin forward, and Beisheng looked over. Two women in crimson clothes were pestering Xiao Xu and giving him wine. Xiao Xu retreated and refused, but he couldn't escape. A woman next to him even ignored the public around her and hugged Xiao Xu's waist to prevent him from leaving. Xiao Yan and several other girls on the side were clapping their hands in joy.

The woman hugging Xiao Xu's waist is Xiao Xiao, the princess of Laiyang, the daughter of Prince Yan, and the other two are Liu Zelan, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and Miyu, the daughter of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. The other spectators are also nobles from the capital. female.

In the previous life, Princess Xiao Xiao of Laiyang County followed Princess Xiao Yan of Fan Yang to the Saga Palace to learn female beauty and keep an eye on the girls who were running for the crown princess. However, Liu Zelan and Mi Yu ended up like Bei Sheng. They participated in the selection of the crown prince and ended up in a bad situation. The fate of the prince being buried.

She had seen them making fun of Xiao Xu in Saga Palace, but she didn't expect them to be so unrestrained in public.
