The concubine is amazing: the sturdy little princess

Chapter 45 Is the King's Congratulatory Gift Satisfied?
"Look, she is the Second Miss of the Hou Mansion." Sun Xiaohu sat on the table at the back.The inner room is made according to the size of the official position.For the few daughters sitting with her, her father's official position in the court is not high.

"It looks good, but it's a pity that Dong Wang doesn't like it. Does anyone in the capital know that Dong Wang likes her sister?"

"I heard that she bought a piece of jade for Dong Wang in half a year, but Dong Wang replied and gave it to the most favored Concubine Gao in the mansion." The two ladies beside them whispered, looking at Sun Xiaohu from time to time, gloating .

"Look, the jade pendant hanging around Concubine Gao's waist is what she gave to Dong Wang." Sun Xiaohu turned his head to look over upon hearing this.I saw that there was indeed a piece of high-quality jade hanging around Gao Wanwan's waist, it was crystal clear, and it must have cost a lot of money.Thinking of money, Sun Xiaohu's heart hurts.She is extremely poor now, except for the 1000 taels of silver she cheated on Mrs. Zhang last time, she has no other sources.

Sun Xiaohu looked at the jade pendant, and suddenly his eyes lit up, if he could get the jade pendant back and go out now, it would be a big fortune.

Seeing Sun Xiaohu looking at her, Gao Wanwan straightened up proudly.Don't think that there is nothing special just because you have a marriage contract with the prince.Even if you enter the mansion and become the legitimate Concubine Dong, nothing will change.Because Dongwang doesn't like you, Sun Xiaohu.

Moreover, there was a hint of viciousness in Gao Wanwan's eyes, it was not difficult for her to want her to die.In the East Prince's Mansion, no child was born in the past three years. Although it could not be all because of Gao Wanwan, Gao Wanwan also played a certain role in it.

When Gao Wanwan thought of her child, she felt uncomfortable. She took another look at Sun Aiyuan's belly, and the jealousy in her heart soared crazily.Sun Aiyuan is different from Sun Xiaohu, the prince really likes Sun Aiyuan.If she enters the palace, and there is another son of the Eastern Prince next to her, her status and favor will be in jeopardy.

No, no, Gao Wanwan tilted her head slightly.She grabbed Gao Lingling's hand with all her strength.Gao Lingling let out a low cry, trying to withdraw her hand, but failed.

"Big sister, it hurts." Gao Lingling felt aggrieved.

Gao Wanwan gently took Gao Lingling's hand, "Sister, go out with my sister"

"Miss Sun, Lingling and I will go out for a while, and we will come back to accompany you once we go," Gao Wanwan said generously, then pulled Gao Lingling out, and at the same time gave her mother Shenlin a wink.

Shen Lin nodded slightly.The silent conversation between the mother and daughter was not seen by others, but it did not escape Sun Xiaohu's eyes.Since Sun Xiaohu entered the prime minister's mansion, he has been careful and vigilant in every way.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, it seemed calm and the guests were all happy and beaming, but Sun Xiaohu could feel a completely different atmosphere.

"The King of the West Arrives"

All the guests were eating and drinking, when suddenly a strong voice came from outside, and as the voice fell, Zhan Beilei in white came slowly with his guard Jingfeng.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.Every movement of Zhan Beilei is elegant, and every move attracts people's attention.

When Liu Manrou in the inner room heard this, she dropped her chopsticks to the ground excitedly.Fortunately, the little maid behind her was clever and made up a lie so she wasn't laughed at.

Liu Manrou lowered her head, she was so excited, if it wasn't for someone here, if it wasn't for maintaining everyone's beauty, she really wanted to rush out and take a good look, the person she missed day and night.

"The king is late for something, don't blame the prime minister." Zhan Beilei cupped his fists and bowed, with a smile on his face.

The corner of Gao Fusheng's mouth twitched, but he could only say, "It's my honor to be here with King Xi."

"Jingfeng, give the birthday gift to the Prime Minister," Zhan Beilei said to Jingfeng who stretched out his hand with a strange arc on his lips.

Jingfeng Shouli was carrying a big box, a sandalwood box with exquisite patterns engraved on the outside.The box is not big, and Jingfeng offered it with both hands.

When Gao Mingqi saw this, he was about to reach out to pick it up, but was pulled away by Jingfeng, who looked at Gao Fusheng solemnly, "Please come and pick it up, Mr. Xiang, and open it yourself. The birthday gift prepared by my grandfather for Xiangye is different, and must be opened." Master Xiang personally picks it up and opens it on the spot."

"Father" Gao Minglan disagreed, and the attitude of the West Palace is still unclear. Many people sent women to the West Palace and died the next day.They also gave it to Zuo Xiangfu, who was the daughter of his roommate, a concubine who was not named in the genealogy.Because the mother's status is low, the daughter's status is also low.After discussing with his eldest brother and father several times, he gave her to King Xi.Even a daughter with a low status must realize her greatest value.A few days ago, I heard that she served King Xi to take a bath.

If King Xi really favored her, why hasn't there been any movement recently and King Xi didn't say anything?
Now, what does Xiwang mean?They all took the congratulatory gifts and opened them after the guests left.But Xi Wang asked to open it in public, which made him somewhat uneasy.

After all, Gao Fusheng is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. He laughed, and the gift box was placed on the small table brought by the servants. Gao Fusheng lowered his head and moved his hand, and the unlocked lock was opened. With just one glance, Gao Fusheng's expression big change.

Zhan Beilei looked at Gao Fusheng with a half-smile, "Mr. Xiang, you are satisfied with the congratulatory gift from my king."

Before Gao Mingqi and the two brothers saw what was in the box, they saw Gao Fusheng quickly cover the box.Gao Fusheng was worthy of being an old fox. Even though he was a little strange just now, after closing the box, his expression returned to normal.

"Thank you King Xi for the congratulatory gift. Please sit down, King Xi." Gao Fusheng still had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.He put one hand on the arm of his elder son Gao Mingqi, and his withered hands tightly grasped Gao Mingqi's arm. Gao Mingqi frowned, but he didn't even say a word about the pain.Just let his father catch him like that.Just now, his father's expression changed drastically, and he saw it.Presumably the contents of that box were not good things.

"It's good that Xiangye is satisfied. It's worth my trouble." Zhan Beilei smiled, and sat down at Zhan Beiqing's table, "Boss and Brother are here."

"What gift did the third brother give Xiangye? I think Xiangye's face has changed." Zhan Beiyu asked casually, his face was slightly red, and he had just had a drink with Zhan Beiqing, Zhan Beiqing Qing drank every cup in one gulp, and he didn't want to admit defeat, so he drank it in one gulp. Now that the alcohol was getting stronger, his eyes were a little distracted.

"A congratulatory gift that Xiangye will not forget for a while," Zhan Beilei replied.Glancing at Zhan Beiyu, sarcasm and disdain flashed deep in his eyes, and then he looked at Zhan Beiqing, "Second Brother, I heard you got a cold, are you okay?"

"What's good and what's bad?" Zhan Beiqing's expression was blurred because of drinking, and his whole body was enveloped in a sense of sadness.

"Second brother is wrong. Second brother is high in power and holds military power, so he is naturally better than others. Even if someone thinks that second brother is not good, second brother should be good to him." Zhan Beilei said lightly .
