Red makeup against the world

Chapter 266
Prince's Mansion, Study Room.

The confidant and aide, Mr. Du, finished his report and waited with a bow.

After listening to his words, the prince who was sitting behind the desk had a gloomy expression, his incomparably handsome face was distorted, revealing a stern expression.

There was a crisp sound of "pop" in the study, and a lake pen in the prince's hand broke in response.A white stubble was exposed at the break of the pen, and it pierced sharply into the air, making Master Du tremble behind him.

After a while, "King Qi is also interested in this chess piece? He wants to pull General Zhenxi over, hmph!" The prince snorted coldly from the depths of his nose, "It's a good plan, but how can this hall let them As one wishes!"

"From the point of view of my subordinates, this Xu Wan is really not one of them. Using Princess Zhaoyang to facilitate the marriage can make Fan Bin appreciate it, but it may not be able to make General Long attach herself. She is just a little girl, and she doesn't have that much energy. .”

"This hall knows. But this matter can become the source of the connection between King Qi and General Long. What's more, Xu Wan is really the first thing that this hall has taken a fancy to. After probing twice, the prince Anguo is very interested in her." The corner of the prince's mouth raised a But there is no smile: "Bo Zhou has always been a man who has lived among thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching his body. His attitude is already very rare."

"What is His Royal Highness planning?"

"You should handle this matter in person. Please invite the official media to come to the door, and the Prince's Mansion will act as a guarantor to propose marriage to the Xu family on behalf of Bozhou, and marry Xu Wanzhen as the son's side concubine. Remember, the bigger the trouble, the better, and the whole Luoyang must Everyone in the city knows." After pondering for a moment, a cruel smile appeared in his eyes, and he said coldly: "If it doesn't work, then we can't let King Qi succeed. This chess piece will be destroyed for this hall!"

The bigger the trouble, the more irreversible it will be. Even if Shi Jingze objects at that time, it will be useless.King Qi has always kept a low profile and never dared to fight with him openly.Could there be an exception this time, dare to face him head-on?He must be obediently retreat in the face of difficulties.

Fan Bin is just a little Lieutenant Guoyi and an orphan, so what if there is General Zhenxi's Mansion behind him?Where can it compare to the candidates in my hands, the eldest son and side concubine of An Guogong's mansion can also be appointed.Of the pies that fell from the sky, how could a mere merchant in the Xu family know which one is better?
But in case the Xu family lost their minds, he would rather destroy Xu Wanzhen than let King Qi succeed.

Hearing the murderous intent in his tone, Master Du felt a chill in his heart, and said respectfully: "Yes! This subordinate will do it immediately."

……

Official media is a highly competitive business.

The family of the rich and powerful will usually find someone they are familiar with first, and test the tone of the other party first.After the two families confirm their interest, a matchmaker will be invited to come to propose marriage.At this time, it doesn't matter which matchmaker you hire, it's just a formality, and the matchmaker can get some money for the matchmaker.

At this time, the reputation of the official media on weekdays is very important.The famous ones are invited all year round.Those who are not very famous can only rely on their own matchmaking everywhere to earn some hard money.

Matchmaker Gan is a very famous one in the official media, and she is a well-known golden signboard.Most of the rich families in Luoyang City are all matched by her.

At this time, when she heard the invitation from the Prince's Mansion, she happily straightened her temples, dusted her clothes that were not dusty, and walked out of the official media office with her head up.

When she left, some sour voices sounded from the official media office: "Look at how proud she is, is the job in the Prince's Mansion so easy to accept?"

"I wonder if she will have her nostrils turned upside down in the future if she falls down this time."

"She gets soft hands for all the money she gets, and she is a foodie. A little bit of leakage through the cracks of her fingers is enough for us to live for a year."

All the matchmakers were chattering, hoping that Matchmaker Gan would kick the iron plate this time and see how unlucky she would be.The image of the crown prince among the people is far less cordial than King Qi.

……

After Mr. Du explained to Matchmaker Gan, he gave her 100 taels of silver notes: "You can take the money to make arrangements. The matter of proposing marriage to the Xu family must be done beautifully and with great fanfare."

Matchmaker Gan is old and skilled, but the Crown Prince's mansion invites the official matchmaker for the prince of Anguo to marry his side concubine?It's not suitable for emotion and reason.

Although Master Du gave money to buy the bride price first, she knew very well which ones were acceptable and which ones were not.He hesitated in his heart, and didn't want to take on this errand.

Seeing her hesitating expression, before she could speak, Master Du changed his face and said in a deep voice: "You just follow the prince's order. It's not good for you to think wildly."

How dare Matchmaker Gan refuse?He hurriedly explained with a smile: "How dare this old servant not take care of His Royal Highness's affairs? I was just thinking about what kind of betrothal gifts would be appropriate."

Master Du didn't point it out, as long as she went to do things, he didn't care about her.

After Matchmaker Gan left, Master Du recruited his long-term follower and said: "After Matchmaker Gan comes to Xu's house to propose marriage tomorrow, you can arrange more people to go to teahouses and restaurants to spread the news, so that the son of Duke Anguo admires Miss Xu and asks to marry her." She spread the word about the son's side concubine. Before the sun sets, I want to know that the whole Luoyang city knows about this important event."

Now that the prince has made up his mind, all he can do as a confidant is to get this matter done.

Such a hasty visit to propose marriage, and Shi Jingze's doing it without telling Shi Jingze, was afraid that instead of accepting the Prince's kindness, he would complain more, then this matter would be self-defeating.

According to what the prince said, Shi Jingze has a lot of affection for Xu Wanzhen.That's why we want to make things big and spread some rumors.At that time, for the sake of Xu Wanzhen's reputation, Shi Jingze had no choice but to admit it.When the beauty is in his arms, how can he not sell the crown prince?

Even if he didn't buy it, everyone in the capital knew that his side concubine was the matchmaker of the Crown Prince Bao, and whether he liked it or not, the Anguo Duke's Mansion would be labeled as the Crown Prince.

Right now, the two sides are fighting each other. As one of the four great princes, An Guogong wants to stay out of the matter and stay in the mud, but it is not so easy!
……

Princess House.

Liu Qiran begged to see Princess Zhaoyang, and waited anxiously in the flower hall.

Princess Zhaoyang couldn't bear to see him, so she sent her confidant Yuegui to come.Yue Gui respectfully gave a salute, and said, "I have met the son of Duke Pingguo."

He told about going to Tu's house to propose to marry Tu Manzhen, Yue Gui looked at him with a half-smile, as if he had seen through the plans in his heart.

"Sister Yuegui, just believe me this time. I really sincerely beg to marry Miss Tu Er. I have always remembered the princess's order. After thinking about it, there is nothing more sincere than asking to apologize." Liu Qiran shy said with a straight face.

"Tell me about your plan. Please ask the official media?"

"No, no, no, who in the entire capital doesn't know that my family and the Tu family are not dealing with each other? You must not invite the official media. If things get worse, the Tu family will lose face. How can I marry the second Miss Tu?"

Yue Gui glanced at him in surprise, thinking that he was just using this matter to perfunctory the princess' order, but unexpectedly, he seemed a little sincere.He asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I've asked Shi Shizi to come forward, and I'll go to Dr. Tu to make peace first."
