Chapter 172
"Damn the slave!" Eunuch Liu knelt down.

"Get up, I don't want to blame you now, I just want my Yun'er...you step back first, I want to be alone for a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the Prince's Mansion of Runan County, the second, third, fourth, and fifth wives, together with the daughters of the third wives, Shangguan Ya'er and Shangguan Chuchu, the daughter of the fifth wives, Shangguan Yanhong, the king of the county, Shangguan Zonghuan, and their servants all gathered in the hall. Together, the excitement is extraordinary.

"Look at them all! Look at them all!" The fifth lady pointed to the boxes in the hall, which contained high-quality silk and satin, and there were several trays of jewelry and hand ornaments in them, "These are all from Prince Xiang As for the betrothal gift sent by someone, someone from Xiang Wang’s mansion passed on a message that King Xiang will take my Yan Hong as his concubine tonight.”

The second, third, and fourth wives all had sour expressions on their faces, especially the third wives, "Why are you so proud, King Xiang doesn't like your daughter."

The fifth lady smiled meanly, "Third sister is so funny, how much is it worth? My Yan Hong is married to King Xiang, does King Xiang know? King Xiang stomps his feet, and the entire Dongqi Kingdom will be shaken. Said It seems that the second, third, and fourth sisters are all in my Yan'er's glory," pointing to Shangguan Ya'er and Shangguan Chuchu exaggeratedly, "And you two losers, you all owe a lot of debt, if it weren't for Seeing that I, Yan'er, is the concubine of King Xiang, the creditors have already found me, so you still don't thank me, Yan'er, for protecting you."

The third lady was so angry that she wanted to push back, but the second lady tugged at her sleeve and said in a low voice, "How can I say that Yan Hong, born to my fifth sister, will soon be a member of Prince Xiang's mansion, so it's better to bear it, in case Yan Hong is favored one day , Say no to us in front of King Xiang, we can't finish eating and walk around."

The fifth lady heard it with long ears, "Second sister is right. Third sister, you can learn more from second sister. If it is my family, Yanhong, I will say a good word about you in front of King Xiang in the future, and your blessings will be better." But it’s not enough to enjoy.”

The third lady had a smirk on her face, "Fifth sister is right. Our county prince's mansion will rely more on Yanhong in the future."

The jealousy in Shangguan Ya'er and Shangguan Chuchu's eyes almost turned red.

Shangguan Zonghuan sneered coldly, "You are only good at this, you are thinking about taking advantage of this or taking advantage of that all day long. If you can save your worries by spending money, my Runan County Prince's Mansion will not be turned into an empty shell for you. .”

"Still talking about it!" The third lady was angry, "Master, you gave birth to a good daughter, no, it should be said that Luo Yinxue's daughter, who made a lot of money, is so cold-hearted. She doesn't care about it at all, she really doesn't take anything away, the county palace really raised Shangguan Jinghong for 17 years for nothing..."

Before he could speak, Shangguan Zonghuan slapped the third lady with his hands.

A slap stunned everyone present. The third lady stared in surprise, covered her face and burst into tears, "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of you to hit me! As a concubine, I have worked so hard to support the county palace for more than ten years. , the master didn't think that my concubine was doing a good job in running the family, so he actually beat me... I don't want to live anymore!"

"Father, how can you beat mother!" Shangguan Ya'er quit, and Shangguan Chuchu also said angrily, "No matter what, Dad, you shouldn't do it."

"Look at the entire county palace now, apart from Jinghong, which one has the slightest personality?" Shangguan Zonghuan's face was serious and distressed, "Everyone is so vicious and mean, they have sucked up all the wealth of the county palace, and owe huge debts to usury. Forget it, now everyone is still so reckless, insisting on disturbing the peace of a family."

Shangguan Yanhong nodded submissively, "Daddy taught me the right thing. When my daughter comes to Prince Xiang's mansion in the future, she will definitely be a good wife and mother, and will live up to her father's cultivation."

The Fifth Madam looked at her daughter in surprise, and was about to ask if she had taken the wrong medicine, only to find that Xiang Wang Qi Yu was standing at the door of the hall, and when everyone was guessing how much Xiang Wang Qi Yu heard, Qi Yu strode across the hall , When everyone came back to their senses, the person had disappeared.

The people in the Prince's Mansion became a little uneasy, because Shangguan Yanhong was going to pass tonight, but the bridegroom King Qi Yu was in the Prince's Mansion. At first, everyone thought that he would come to welcome the bride early, but until night fell, Qi Yu had no intention of welcoming the bride.

The moon is slightly over, and the stars are twinkling.

After an afternoon of emergency arrangements, the county palace was finally decorated with lights and festivities in the evening, and it was full of joy.In the setting sun of the county prince's mansion, the guard Xinghun was by Qi Yu's side. Qi Yu was standing on the third floor of the building in the courtyard, staring at Wuxin Pavilion in the next courtyard with dark and deep eyes.

In Wuxin Pavilion, Shangguan Jinghong is sitting on a stone chair in the yard at the moment, a pile of account books are placed on the stone table in front of her, and she is reviewing the accounts.

From a distance, Qi Yu just looked at her like this.

"She has been looking at the account for an hour." Qi Yu murmured, the distress in his voice could not be concealed.

"But my lord, you have been here to watch Princess Jinghong all afternoon, no matter whether she appears in the yard or not, you just stand here foolishly." Xinghun's tone was full of concern, "My lord, tonight is yours." On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, even though Shangguan Yanhong is a concubine, she will marry you. Shouldn't you be returning to Prince Xiang's mansion?"

"No." Qi Yu shook his head, "Bridal wedding, these four words make this king heartbroken. I had a chance with Jing'er before, but I let her stay alone in the empty boudoir, which made her feel sad. The three reckless men who were almost sent by Su Yingyue... This king really deserves to die, thinking of this, I wish I could slap myself and kill Su Yingyue a thousand times."

"My lord, you have changed a lot." Xinghun's tone became serious, "You used to be arrogant and ruthless, but now you have become more humane, but also..."

"It's also become a lot more humble, isn't it?"

"Your Highness is extremely noble, how can you use words like humble? It's a slip of the tongue."

"This king let go of his dignity, it would be great if he could really exchange for Jing'er and return to his side."

"It will definitely. I believe that Princess Jinghong will be moved by you one day. Anyway, Princess Jinghong was once your princess. Compared with others, the past between you and her, my lord, is better than others. Others are special."

"I hope." Qi Yu's eyes were full of determination, and he vowed to look at the dusty figure in the courtyard in the distance, "This king will definitely not give up!"
