atypical prostitute

Chapter 61

It was a tit-for-tat situation again, the Empress Dowager pretended to cough a few times in displeasure, the eldest princess would feel offended, and said sweetly: "I naturally believe in Qilang, the affairs of the world are the affairs of the Xiao family, Qilang has ambitions, and he will not let the Xiao family The world ran away to another house."

Li Ci suddenly felt dizzy, this is not exhortation, it is clearly adding fuel to the fire!
Unexpectedly, Empress Shangguan held back and apologized, "It's my wife's fault."

The King of Changsha accepted the words without smiling.

The storm was resolved like this?Or is it a prelude to a bigger conflict?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Ci finally understood what the eldest princess was planning.

This seemingly absurd remark just hit the Queen Mother's heart.As long as the Xiao family is the emperor, as long as the Xiao family's control over the world is not shaken...under this premise, nothing is important.Therefore, although the Queen Mother is partial to the King of Changsha, she also allows the Queen to talk nonsense, because she is the grandmother of the Xiao royal family, and it is her instinct and bottom line to maintain the interests of the entire royal family.

And because of what the eldest princess said, the queen understood that if she clings to the right to belong to the throne, she will anger the queen mother, and thus completely enters a passive state.

Sure enough, seeing the temporary reconciliation between the Queen and the King of Changsha, the Empress Dowager looked much better, and said to the eldest princess, "Ayu still listens to me."

"It's just for myself and others. When I was a daughter-in-law, the old lady of the Hua family also admonished me like this. It sounded uncomfortable at the time, but I realized it later, but it was a golden sentence."

The eldest princess spoke lightly, but she always looked down on the Hua family, and everyone didn't understand why she suddenly carried Mrs. An Guogong and old lady out.

"Mrs. An Guogong is very knowledgeable," the queen mother said with a sigh, "However, Hua Jingrong can't help her."

"The past is over, the queen mother should not bring it up again. Mrs. An Guogong's wife is certainly knowledgeable, but she has always spoiled her son too much, so that Hua Jingrong is still a rascal, and even Yunfei is not a good person."

A little displeasure was faintly revealed in the words.

Empress Shangguan just woke up from her, knowing that the eldest princess is on the side of protecting the interests of the empress dowager, but she is actually on the same side as herself. What's more, the words seem to blame Hua Jingrong, but the implication is to blame the empress dowager for pampering the king of Changsha, so she cheered happily: "Fortunately, King Yuzhang was taught by His Majesty himself since he was a child, and he has finally become a talent."

"How can King Yuzhang be compared with those two incompetent bastards, one big and one small?" Seeing that she knew her love and interest, the eldest princess also sang and said, "It's a pity that Qilang has weak knees and doesn't understand the hardships of being a mother."

It was actually poking at the wounded place of King Changsha.

It's a pity that this is the truth, even if the queen mother is a little unhappy because of this, she can't attack it, and just looks at the king of Changsha with a little helplessness.On the contrary, the Changsha King, who should have been embarrassed, looked calm and said: "I am a dedicated lover. Besides, the family is weak, so I can save some gossip."

A soft nail, laid down with no seriousness, echoing the preface, is easing the relationship with the queen: the succession of the royal family in all dynasties has always focused on descendants, and the king of Changsha has no children so far, which means that even if he succeeds in usurping power, he may not be able to take the throne. Pass it on to your children.

It's a pity that the queen's eyebrows and eyes eased, but the queen mother's complexion became even more difficult to look at.

She is the old grandmother of the Xiao family, she loves her son and has no offspring, so how can she not be in a hurry!
But the current topic is the fate of the throne. Out of balance, she can't express her wish that King Na of Changsha marry his concubine and have a son.Fortunately, she had weathered the wind and rain for a long time, and turned her slightly cloudy eyes a few times, and saw that the fourth lady below was born beautifully, so she paid attention, and asked, "Has the fourth lady ever married?"

Li Ci didn't know why the Empress Dowager asked this question, but the Eldest Princess answered on her behalf: "The Fu family has always been scruples, so far they haven't proposed marriage to her."

"Oh." The queen mother hummed lightly, and said again, "Which lady did Ayu show Yunfei a fancy to?"

"Old Mrs. Anguo doesn't like me, how could she let me meddle in Yunfei's marriage! What's more, that kid is so stubborn that I can't bear to tell him what Si Niangzi said!"

With just a few words, the question beyond the words was clearly answered, the queen mother nodded, and then changed her mind to look at the fourth lady, and it turned out that the more she looked, the more pleasing to the eye.

It was just that seeing the female official holding the Zijin Ruyi rewarded by the empress, he was inevitably displeased again, and said: "Agan is not too young, he must be registered as a concubine, and get married early."

Empress Shangguan said kindly: "I have urged you several times to register the concubine, but unfortunately Agan has a strong temper, but he ignored it. So far, he has gotten closer to that daughter of the Ye family."

The Empress Dowager nodded, she understood in her heart.

"Is Fourth Lady willing to marry a slightly older husband?"

Hey!
There was a roar in Li Ci's head, and he suddenly felt that his head was as big as a bucket, so he had to use the unique trick of a lady, pretending to be shy and reserved, and covering his face with a fan.Fortunately, the eldest princess has not yet abandoned her, and said aside: "Marriage is originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How could she directly ask the daughter's family? The mother is confused."

The queen mother pretended to be hearty and smirked: "I am really confused."

The King of Changsha also acted as if he had nothing to do with his affairs, he waved his fan and said, "Don't go on talking about the queen mother, the fourth lady is thin-skinned, and I can't bear it anymore."

"Fu Shilang is loyal to the country, so he should be worthy of a good marriage for his children. It would be nice if he can turn hostility into friendship." The eldest princess's vermilion lips parted slightly, and she had a faint intention to bring the topic back to politics again in her articulate words.

Empress Shangguan also contributed to the flames: "I heard that Si Niangzi is a first-class concubine, if an ordinary vassal king marries her as a concubine, I'm afraid something will happen."

How could the King of Changsha not know that they were targeting him, but he just laughed without saying a word, at this moment the chief eunuch of the Hanyuan Hall entered the compatriots, and there were courtiers in the front hall, begging to see the Queen Mother.

Empress Shangguan immediately turned her back and said: "The concubine will leave for the time being."

The eldest princess also got up and said: "State affairs are the most important thing, my daughter will stop nagging."

The Empress Dowager nodded and promised, so Li Ci pulled up her skirt and prepared to bow and retreat. She didn't want to be pressed by the eldest princess to prevent her from standing up. Li Ci couldn't help being surprised. It was found that the female officer stepped forward and walked up a step with the queen on her arm, and then paused, looking at the king of Changsha next to the queen mother with deep meaning.

How thoughtful the King of Changsha was, he immediately saw the provocative intention of Empress Shangguan, closed his folding fan, and bowed: "Please trouble the emperor's sister-in-law to accompany the mother to meet the foreign ministers, I will see off my sister."

Empress Shangguan was waiting for these words, and she didn't even bother to say that the hypocritical respect was better than obedience, she turned around and stepped back to the steps, waiting respectfully for the queen mother to get up.

……

……

Although he was squeezed out by the eldest princess and the empress Shangguan, the king of Changsha was not at all displeased.

Hearing the sound of the rain hitting the phoenix trees, they walked more than a hundred steps, and laughed at Yan Yan, without any frustration. On the contrary, the eldest princess, after some hesitation, finally said: "The situation is changing rapidly at present, and it is inevitable for Princess Fu to worry about the loss of the prince. .If Qilang really agrees with his heart and mouth, and declares his heart to the world, the world will stop fighting and the world will be peaceful."

The words were not without admonishment, but it was a pity that the empress Shangguan was not present, and the King of Changsha no longer concealed it, saying: "Sister's words, it is too late. In the current situation, if you take one step further to dominate the world, and take a step back, you will be crushed. .Even if I want to quit, who will allow it?"

The eldest princess sighed, and said: "Although this matter will ultimately be resolved by force, I really hope that it can be resolved with reason. It is best to save each other's face."

"Let my sister down."

The king of Changsha said gently, just in front of a fork in the road, the eldest princess stopped and said: "Just send it here."

The King of Changsha didn't insist, he stopped with a smile, and watched the princess go up the side road.Li Ci, on the other hand, saw that although he was ambitious, he treated the eldest princess and himself with gentleness, and when he thought of the relationship between them, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, taking advantage of passing by, he said in a low voice: "On the post road that day, thank you Your Highness Grace for saving lives."

The King of Changsha hummed absently, glanced casually from the side of his face, and suddenly froze as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.

"strangeness?"

He murmured, a little uneasiness and rare tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he looked directly at Li Ci.Li Ci suddenly looked at himself undisguisedly, he couldn't help being taken aback, took half a step back, and said with a smile: "My lord?"

King Changsha was aware of the situation and concealed it: "You are born like a human being."

Suspicion suddenly arose in Li Ci, and he took another half step back and asked, "It is Li Ci's blessing to look similar to His Highness's old friend. I just don't know that person's name?"

She was meant to be polite, but when she said this, the King of Changsha immediately turned cold.

As if remembering something extremely disgusting, he said coldly: "An insignificant person. He only looks similar at first glance, but not so much when he looks closely."

"I see. There are so many people in the world who think similarly for no reason."

Li Ci pretended to be understated, she saw the hands of King Changsha trembling in his sleeves, and guessed that the insignificance that King Changsha said might be more important than Mount Tai.

On the other hand, the eldest princess, seeing that Li Ci hadn't followed her, returned and said, "Did Qilang hit it off with Si Niangzi?"

The King of Changsha immediately put away his displeasure, and smiled pleasantly: "We've known each other for a long time, so how can we not be as good as before?"

"Why don't I understand Shichiro's words?"

"I really don't understand? She...is that person! Ayu is really good at it."

He was about to get angry but held back, Li Ci observed his words and expressions, and knew that he had accidentally broken into the royal scandal, so he hurriedly backed away, not daring to be involved.

Seeing that she was timid, the eldest princess smiled sweetly, and said: "It can't be compared to Qilang's methods. He has great power and calls the wind and the rain."

The King of Changsha was not angry at being confronted. He glanced at Li Ci who shrank behind the eldest princess, and said, "I am empty at the knees, and the princess has been ill in bed for a long time. I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this winter. Maybe... I should really think about new things." The Queen's candidate has been chosen."

"Qilang is really talking nonsense," the eldest princess waved the palace fan, narrowing her phoenix eyes slightly, "Just now in front of the queen mother, she said that the husband and wife are deeply in love, why have you changed your mind now?"

"The queen mother has a heart, and the fourth lady is virtuous. I will follow suit and be a filial son."

"Follow the current and ask the fourth lady to be the continuation string? Qilang would be ashamed! Even if you offer the phoenix seal ribbon, I will definitely not allow it!"

"Sister, why do you have to do this? If some things are made clear, it will only make things difficult for everyone."

The king of Changsha waved his fan leisurely, and smiled meaningfully, which made Li Ci's heart pounding when he heard it.

She is self-aware. Although this skin is somewhat beautiful, there are tens of thousands of beauties in the world. Even the number one beauty in the empire like the eldest princess, in the eyes of powerful men, the status of the eldest princess is more important than the number one beauty in the world.Therefore, the possibility that the King of Changsha would be willing to marry because he looks like an old man is almost zero.

What's more, what he just said is clearly a threat!
And the eldest princess's dispute is not the so-called deep love for the calf.

These two political foxes are using themselves as pawns.

It's a pity that Li Ci had to pretend to be calm and stand aside to listen to their seemingly harmonious but intense conversation, even though his heart was burning with anger.Fortunately, the eldest princess and Changsha Wang Gu are cunning people. After some innocuous and veiled attacks, the eldest princess suddenly sighed: "If life is just like the first time I saw it, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan?"

No matter how Nalan Xingde's poems have been traversed!

Li Ci was surprised.

But I heard the King of Changsha continue: "Wait to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is easy to change. Earlier, I only felt that Shangguan Nu Shi was too sad. How can there be so many heartless people in the world who forget their love. Only now do I know that the words of Nu Shi, It’s really true that people’s hearts are fickle, and that men and women are helpless.”

It turned out to be melancholy, with affectionate brows, and looked over.

The Xiao family was born with a good appearance, and the King of Changsha stood squarely. It was the charming season when gentleness and righteousness coexisted. At this time, there was a sudden sadness and helplessness. Looking at him, Li Ci couldn't help but feel a burst of anxiety. Jump.

It's a pity that it's not me that's reflected in his eyes!

So she vented her anger for no reason, and felt more and more disgusting that Shangguan Nvshi, the "model" of time travel, plagiarized indiscriminately!
