Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 20 So, King Su is like a tiger with wings
"Xiao Jian, the princess wants to eat barbecue for dinner, you and Mingsha go to the valley to hunt some wild game." Dongfang Hao ordered him.

Mingsha is the head of the twelve guards.

Xiao Jian was slightly taken aback, the prince was very kind to this chess piece.

"Yes, my lord." He stepped back.

Dongfang Hao was still sitting in the study room, the dazzling sunlight came in from the window, it was spacious and bright.

However, he frowned, with a somewhat sad expression on his face.

According to his father's temperament, he would stay in Yazhuang for at least two days.No accident, tomorrow, the father will send someone to warn him.

After returning to Yecheng, Ah Jiu will face the cruel reality.

His eyes were deep, and he stared at the paper and ink on the desk for a while.

*
Yecheng, the Han family.

Han Xiangting is discussing matters with his staff Liu Xi in the study.

"The Chu family has collapsed, the position of prime minister is vacant, and the emperor has not made a statement so far, what do you think?" His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were very quiet.

Liu Xi groaned, and said carefully, "The Han and Li families are so powerful this time, the emperor must have taken precautions. No accident, he will support a new family leader to check and balance the power of the two families. According to what the subordinates see , Murong Yunhao, the minister of Zhongshu Province, is the most likely."

Han Xiangting's eyes tightened slightly, and after a moment of thought, he nodded.

"It makes sense. The Eastern royal family has been under the control of the Chu family for more than two hundred years, and it was finally overthrown. The emperor will never allow other families to gather the power of the Chu family. The Murong family is proficient in business and has a lot of money. It's not very ambitious, and it's just right to use it to restrain the Han and Li families."

Han Xiangting was just over forty, and he was a servant of the lower province of Dayu Kingdom, with the same rank as Murong Yunhao.

He is the head of the Han family, with a handsome face and dignified looks.

Glancing lightly at the red paper on the case table, he said thoughtfully, "If this is the case, King Su will be even more powerful than a tiger."

Liu Xi cupped his hands, and said cautiously, "This time King Su kept a low profile, contributed the least amount of effort, but gained the most benefits. The emperor never forgets the late Concubine Shu, and he has the greatest possibility of being enthroned in the future."

Han Xiangting's lips curled into a smile, "Prince Su is so scheming that even Prince Rui can't keep up. This time he tried his best to protect Chu Sijiu, he advanced and retreated well, and killed Prince Rui and Wang Yi by surprise. The old man really Appreciate it."

"It's just that Miss...is not very happy." Liu Xi took advantage of Mrs. Han and would speak up whenever she had the opportunity.

Han Xiangting's eyes were deep, "What's wrong with her? With the support of my Han family, is there any need to be afraid of a black-bone chicken?"

"However, Chu Sijiu is a scourge after all. It would be troublesome if Chu Sijiu was favored by the Chu family and supported as a puppet. Moreover, King Su is willing to pay such a large amount of money for her...at least he has some affection." Liu Xi Say it carefully.

Han Xiangting narrowed his eyes slightly, "Before, the old man didn't know that King Su was going to make this move. He sent all his masters to assassinate her, but he was wiped out by the guards of King Su's mansion, and he couldn't lose money by stealing chickens. But he also watched because of this. The strength of going out of Su Wang's mansion is not useless. As for Chu Sijiu..."

He smiled lightly, "Her existence, for many people, is a thorn in their throats. We don't have to be too active, just go with the flow."

Liu Xi's eyes darkened a little, she thought for a moment, then nodded sincerely, "What the waiter said is very true."

The two wanted to say something when they heard a conversation outside.

"Ma'am, miss, wait a moment, let the villain go in and report."

"Well, hurry up."

Han Xiangting immediately knew who was coming, and the tigress at home couldn't afford to offend. With a wry smile, he waved to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi understood and stood up to leave.

"Master, Madam and Miss are here." The servant stood in front of the door and reported.

"Let them in." Han Xiangting ordered.

His wife was surnamed Xu, who came from a noble family. His first brother, Xu Zhiyan, was the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, responsible for supervising all officials, and was a powerful figure.

Mrs. Han has a strong personality, has a son and a daughter, and is very prestigious in the Han family.

Han Xiangting respected her very much and did not dare to neglect her.

"Madam and miss, please come in. The waiter is waiting for you in the study." When Liu Xi withdrew, he met them face to face.

Han Xiangting was sitting upright, with a smile on his lips, watching two gorgeous beauties push the door in.

Mrs. Han is nearly forty years old and well maintained. She looks like she is in her early thirties at most. She is fair and beautiful, with a modest waist. When Tingting walked over, she had the elegant charm of a young woman.

Walking beside her, Han Mingzhu was wearing a pink veil dress, her black hair was like clouds, and she was pulled into a complicated bun, with a jade hairpin slantingly inserted on the side.

Her appearance took the advantages of her parents, with fair skin, delicate eyebrows and eyes, she looked gentle and moving.

However, those who are familiar with her know that her gracefulness is an act of faking.

In fact, her character is extremely delicate and pungent.

In Yecheng, she was the only one who would blatantly wink at Dongfang Hao and find excuses from time to time to provoke Chu Sijiu.

Her greatest wish is to enter Su Wangfu as a side concubine.

"Father." There was no outsider around, she really showed her true colors, and her voice sounded a little annoyed.

Han Xiangting looked at her helplessly, "Mingzhu, why are you dissatisfied?"

Han Mingzhu paused, rushed in front of him in a few steps, grabbed her sleeves and acted coquettishly, "Father, the Chu family has collapsed, why does my daughter still want to be a side concubine?"

Before the Chu family was strong, she could only think about the position of side concubine in Su Wang's mansion. Now that the Chu family has fallen, she naturally has higher requirements.

"This time the Han family contributed the most. The emperor only granted the position of side concubine in Su Wang's mansion. Isn't it a little less?" Mrs. Xu was also not satisfied.

Han Xiangting smiled, pulled Han Mingzhu to his side, and comforted him carefully, "Mingzhu, King Su is a favorite, and the Li family also wants to fight for the position of the concubine. The emperor is not fair, so he can only agree to both of them." However, the emperor let you enter the mansion first, giving the Han family an opportunity.

If you can conceive the eldest son of Prince Su's mansion first, wouldn't the princess position be within your grasp?In the future, if King Su ascends the throne, the position of queen can only be yours. "

Han Mingzhu pursed her lips and drooped her eyebrows slightly, "Daughter heard that King Su knelt in the Chengqian Hall for a day and a night, and finally exchanged the fiefdom in the south of the Yangtze River for Chu Sijiu's life. King Su paid such a big money, he To Chu Sijiu is really...deep and affectionate."

Han Xiangting raised his eyebrows and smiled, it really was the mentality of a young girl, and his mind was full of bitter and jealous things.

"Mingzhu, King Su spent all his money to protect Chu Sijiu, but he has ulterior motives."

Han Mingzhu was slightly stunned, "Daughter is dull, please tell me clearly."

Han Xiangting smiled and explained the truth to Han Mingzhu in detail.

"Prince Su is a person who does great things, and he considers issues extremely well. This time, he took a slanted sword and reaped far more benefits than the other two princes. Didn't you see that Prince Rui and Prince Yi wanted to follow suit, but they were reluctant to part with themselves? The fiefdoms, so they had to act out in embarrassment."

Han Mingzhu rolled her eyes, as if she understood what he meant.

She snorted coldly, her pretty eyes were full of murderous intent, "Since King Su is just making a gesture, my daughter must have a way to deal with Chu Sijiu. Hmph, I want to make up for all the sulking I have suffered in the past few years. "

　The female supporting role is on the stage!
