Chapter 491 The duel between the green tea man and the white lotus man
Zhou Xiangyun was his concubine and a very good housekeeper, much more useful than Zhou Changle.
But he just stayed at her place yesterday, and today she persuaded him to see other women.
Zhou Xiangyun lowered his eyes and said warmly: "My lord, no, I should call you the prince. You will be the ruler of the empire in the future. How can I finish my jealousy?"
As she said this, she blessed her body: "I am only temporarily replacing the future crown princess. It is already very difficult for me to take care of the backyard for you."
Like his father, the prince is not a man obsessed with women in the backyard. He only has power and great ambitions in his heart.
She sees this kind of man too clearly, and she just wants to take care of herself and earn a wealthy and safe path for herself and her mother.
"The concubine is really virtuous. Even if she enters the palace in the future, she can still bear the title of a virtuous concubine." Shangguan Hongye smiled faintly.
Women have many uses. They can manage the home well and check and balance the backyard and the harem. Their ability is worthy of a high look.
"Then I would like to thank the prince first." Zhou Xiangyun said softly and respectfully.
Concubine De has been a useful noble ornament in all dynasties. She knew very well that the prince wanted to give Concubine Ming the title of "Noble Concubine".
It's just that Concubine Ming doesn't care about it.
Shangguan Hongye waved his hand, turned and left.
But he didn't expect that his father didn't even want to see him.
"Eunuch, father doesn't see me?"
Shangguan Hongye didn't understand very much and raised his eyebrows.
I felt a little strange in my heart. There was no reason. How could my father not see him?
He and his father-in-law leaned forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty has a headache. Now the doctor of the Taiyuan Hospital and several Taoist priests are accompanying you in the alchemy room."
When Shangguan Hongye heard this, his expression was a little complicated: "Father, did you go to the alchemy room again?"
"Yes." He nodded with his father-in-law.
Shangguan Hongye could only nod his head: "If my father's illness gets better, please tell me and my father-in-law to let me know."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." He Gongzheng said.
Shangguan Hongye coughed lightly: "We haven't even held the canonization ceremony yet. My father-in-law and I might as well call me King Qin."
He didn't know why, but when he heard others call him Shangguan Zhou, he always felt uncomfortable.
After all, the prince Shangguan Zhou... was deposed. Now he is imprisoned and 'seriously ill' and cannot see anyone. He is afraid that he will not survive this winter.
As a result, "Prince" sounds strangely ominous.
He guessed that his father would not allow Shangguan Zhou to live. After all, his father was a cruel and arrogant person.
Now that he has decided to make himself the new heir, he will not leave Shangguan Zhou, the deposed prince, as a hidden danger to him.
Moreover, none of the deposed princes in the past dynasties is still alive.
Although he already knew about this, he still felt a little... complicated and uncomfortable.
"Yes, His Highness the King of Qin." He and the father-in-law said with a genuine smile.
Watching King Qin leave, his expression became cold again, and he glanced at the young eunuch beside him: "How is His Majesty's fasting?"
The young eunuch said respectfully: "Back to my father-in-law, Your Majesty has been fasting for two days. Today, he can't bear the pain of practicing cultivation. He is very hungry. He ordered two bowls of pickle porridge and finished both."
"Well, since your majesty has eaten this meal, it is enough. Let your majesty live without food for three more days, and only bring water in for three days. Only in this way can you practice cultivation easily."
and the father-in-law ordered.
The little eunuch nodded and followed the instructions calmly.
Eunuch He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "When the governor first entered the palace as a young eunuch, he was always bullied, and he also had this kind of 'fasting' every day. Now it's time for your majesty to try these things."
…
"Have you ever been so hungry before?"
Ming Lanruo paused with her hand on the snack plate and looked at the person in front of her.
Scholar Yin was holding tea and said calmly: "When I first entered the palace, I still have a little bit of arrogance. I don't know how to deal with the world, and I don't know how to please people. Even the governor has to learn a lesson. It's not surprising."
Looking at the calm look of the man in front of her, she felt a little uncomfortable.
He was only about eleven years old at that time, right?
"I was hungry when I was imprisoned. Fortunately, I soon used my medical skills to make money to support Xiaoxi and I." Minglan desperately wanted to express that she also knew what it felt like to be hungry.
Unexpectedly, Scholar Yin's hand holding the tea paused, and he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her sadly and forbearingly: "Is the young lady still blaming the governor for confining you mother and son?"
As he said that, he smiled bitterly: "That's right. It was all his fault. It's right that you don't want to forgive him. He caused you, mother and son, to suffer for five years."
Ming Lanruo was stunned, stretched out her hand to hold his, and explained: "No, I just want him to know that he is not alone..."
Although these statements sounded a bit silly, all she wanted to express was that she could understand some of his feelings.
Scholar Yin looked at her, suddenly stretched out his arms to hug her slender waist, buried his face in her chest, and said hoarsely: "The governor knows."
He liked her soft body. He could hear the beating of her heart and her moist and soft breathing made him addicted and relieved the fatigue in his heart.
Ming Lanruo gently stroked his black hair. She didn't know why, but it always felt weird.
Actually, he was indeed the one who made the mistake of confining her in the first place. Of course, it was also her fault for being overconfident and running to him to say those words on the first day.
but……
How could she be considered a "victim"? Why was she here to comfort him, the "perpetrator"?
Ming Lanruo looked down at the young scholar in her arms and sighed silently: "..."
Forget it, the governor of Dongchang, who is used to being tough, rarely wears a little scholar's human skin mask and can be soft and "act like a baby".
"Sister! Sister!"
At this time, the bright voice of a young man came from the corridor not far away.
Scholar Yin frowned, but before he could react, he was - "Huh!"
A pair of slender arms forcefully pushed him to the side.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been pushed violently by her, but even so, he was still pushed so hard that he was half-supported.
Ming Lanruo sat upright and looked at the young prince of Miao territory who broke in, with a cold face: "Who asked you to come!"
Chu Yuanbai was holding a basket, looked at her, and then at the handsome scholar in white who was sitting with his body tilted.
He keenly smelled the ambiguous smell in the air.
Chu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes and said aggrievedly towards Ming Lanruo: "Sister, have you forgotten? It was you who asked me to come, saying that there would be roast pigeon to eat today."
Ming Lanruo: "..."
=_=... She forgot that she called Chu Yuanbai here today because she had something to discuss with him.
Scholar Yin suddenly showed up uninvited early this morning, and she just took the time to discuss matters with him and talk with Ni Wai.
"Ahem, I asked you to come over in the evening." Ming Lanruo said haha.
Chu Yuanbai curled his eyes and smiled: "Sister, aren't you afraid that if I come over at night, it will harm your reputation?"
Ming Lanruo glanced at him lightly: "Aren't you wearing the clothes of a guard in our mansion?"
"Yes, I listened to my sister's words very much. My sister asked me to disguise myself as someone from the Concubine Ming's Mansion to come see you, so I did so. What do you think? Does this look good?"
Chu Yuanbai put down the basket happily, tugged on his sleeves, and touched his hair.
Ming Lanruo nodded perfunctorily: "It looks good, it looks good."
What should she do now? She always felt that something was wrong when two people collided.
Obviously they are here to discuss important matters, but somehow there is a strange smell of gunpowder smoke.
While Scholar Yin looked at him coldly and spoke, Chu Yuanbai came close to Ming Lanruo and presented his treasure to her as if he was a close "sibling" to her.
He suddenly sat upright slowly and said calmly: "If I had known that the young prince would come today, the young man would not come. In this way, concubine Ming's place would only have people coming every day, so it would be bustling with people."
Ming Lanruo remained silent: "..."
Why does this sound familiar to her?
Oh, 'Qiao Yan' also said the same thing when she went to visit the injured Shangguan Hongye in Northeast Xinjiang.
Chu Yuanbai squinted disdainfully at Scholar Yin, who was sitting upright with an indifferent and gentle look on his face.
But he raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Why does this uncle look angry? What did he say? Did Xiaobai do something wrong?"
Ming Lanruo rubbed her forehead. If she hadn't stayed in the palace for several years in her previous life, she would also be an expert in palace fighting.
I really can't understand the drama of "palace fighting" between these two people.
