As soon as Xiao Qianwei returned to the mansion, he fell into a chair and did not come to his senses for a long time. Zhu Chuyu, who was sitting in the study reading the account book, looked at him in confusion and said, "What's wrong with the prince?" Seeing Xiao Qianwei's face turned pale and sweating, he was obviously scared. Could it be that he was scolded by His Majesty again?

Xiao Qianwei closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he calmed his mind and said in a deep voice: "Just now, Your Majesty almost conferred the title of King Chu as the crown prince in the court."

Zhu Chuyu was also shocked, and his fingers holding the account book couldn't help but tremble, "How could it be? The father has never mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince?" Xiao Qianwei gritted his teeth and said, "Are you not those vassal kings? Are you full and have nothing to do? So why don't you establish a crown prince, the country's fortunes are unstable!" Zhu Chuyu frowned, "Even if it is, in the court..." They have not done completely useless work these days. Compared with the unattainable King of Chu, the approachable King Zheng is obviously more likely to make people get closer. Even if the people under Wei Junmo are in important positions, they are young and do not have an advantage in number.

Xiao Qianwei said: "You don't know the temper of your father? What he is unhappy about forcing him will only backfire. Those idiots think they can go with the flow, but they don't know that they are also clamoring. The more annoyed the father will be. If I hadn't reacted, I'm afraid that the father's will would have been issued."

When Zhu Chuyu heard this, he was secretly surprised and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is true for the father, at least it proves that he does have the intention to make the King of Chu the crown prince." Zhu Chuyu frowned.

Xiao Qianwei smiled bitterly, "Don't I know? But now the only one of my father's eyes is him. Which of the three brothers can let him see it? Even if the father really made up his mind to establish him today, we have no way." Looking at his decadent look, Zhu Chuyu frowned slightly, "Is the prince going to give up?"

Xiao Qianwei's face changed and he said coldly: "Who said I want to give up? It's still a long time! It's unknown who wins and who loses!"

Zhu Chuyu nodded and smiled, "That's right, the prince must not lose confidence by himself. Although the King of Chu is very powerful, his weakness is also obvious. Therefore, the person who has received the support of most court officials in the court is the prince, not the King of Chu." Xiao Qianwei's face gradually improved, and he nodded slightly and said, "The princess is right. I will think about it carefully."

Zhu Chuyu smiled, "Your Majesty, I will be able to be better."

Xiao Qianwei said: "Forget it, after this matter has passed, my father should not mention it for the time being. By the way, how is the marriage between your elder brother and Miss Lin's sixth lady?"

Zhu Chuyu lowered his eyes and said with regret: "The Lin family quietly sent Lin Han to the Zhu family just after the New Year. There was nothing except carrying a few dowry. I heard that Lin Han's name has been eliminated in the Lin family genealogy."

Xiao Qianwei narrowed his eyes, "Has the Lin family made up their minds to not have Lin Han's daughter?"

Zhu Chuyu nodded, "It seems yes. The old man in the Lin family said he was pampering his daughter, but he gave it up without hesitation when something happened."

Xiao Qianwei snorted, "I don't know how to lift up!"

Zhu Chuyu held his arm and said lightly: "Your Highness, don't be angry. The Lin family is most reversing. Now, Lin Changfeng, the son, is in the court. He is still looking forward to Lin Changfeng returning to the Lin family, so naturally he will not be willing to turn to us." Xiao Qianwei sneered: "Since that's the case, let's change the head of the family!"

Zhu Chuyu pursed his lips and smiled, "The prince said yes."

The Emperor's Birthday is approaching, and vassal kings from all over the country have also brought their families back to Jinling. In the past few days, people have held banquets every day in the Jinling Imperial City, which is very lively. The posts sent to Nangong Mo have never stopped every day. Today, the Princess Zhou holds a banquet, tomorrow Princess Kang invites the opera, and the day after tomorrow Princess Zhao invites to appreciate flowers. All have noble identities and high seniority, and they cannot be treated without admiring their faces.

Nangong Mo naturally knew about the sudden storm in the court because of the prince's incident. Therefore, when attending the banquet, he was often looked at by various eyes and was approached by various characters and tested it with words. For a moment, even the Princess Chu, who was in good health and energetic, felt a little tired and tired. She sighed in her heart that people should not behave like a person. These ladies all looked at the pampered and soft body, and their ability to withstand pressure seemed to be stronger than hers.

Because of these things, when the people below came to report to Princess Lingxiang for a visit, Nangong Mo was stunned. Since the night of Yuanxi, although he had seen Princess Lingxiang several times at various banquets, he didn't say anything, so Nangong Mo gradually threw it behind his mind. He didn't expect that Princess Lingxiang would visit her in person.

"Only Princess Lingxiang?" Nangong Mo asked.

Qu Lianxing nodded and smiled, "It's true that Princess Lingxiang is the only one."

Nangong Mo frowned and stood up and said, "Please wait, I'll come later."

"Yes, Princess." Qu Lianxing respectfully took his leave. Now she is the inner manager of the Princess Chu, and she is in charge of the entire Chu Palace. Although there are many things, her whole person is becoming more and more brilliant. After training with Nangong Mo in the past few years, whether it is dealing with people or handling affairs, it is far from comparable to Qu Lianxing in Chenzhou. Qu Lianxing also felt that she was really lucky to meet Princess Chu. Being able to have a career with her own efforts is much happier than marrying into a noble family and becoming a noble lady with Jin Zun and Yu Gui. Although many people under Wei Junmo wanted to propose marriage to her, Qu Lianxing refused without hesitation, and just followed Nangong Mo wholeheartedly to do his own business.

Princess Lingxiang sat in the hall while drinking tea while thinking about what she would say later. But she saw a beautiful woman in a peach-colored look, her eyes were bright and charming. She couldn't help but be surprised. She had heard that there was no woman beside the King of Chu, and she didn't even have a room, but she didn't expect that there was such a beautiful woman. Although Qu Lianxing did not have the beautiful face and momentum of the Princess of Chu, she was also bright and charming and charming. No matter where she was placed, it would make women feel wary and hostile.

"Princess, the princess is still plagued by trivial matters. If there is any negligence, please forgive me." Qu Lianxing said with a smile.

Princess Lingxiang saw that she was generous in behavior, although she looked charming but had a straight face. She thought she was not a concubine. Then she nodded slightly, "I was disturbing the princess. This girl is..."

Qu Lianxing bowed and said with a smile: "I dare not be a princess girl, so I will be the one who is in charge of the Chu Prince's Mansion."

"It turned out to be Manager Qu."

Princess Lingxiang really admired Nangong Mo for coming. She put such a stunning beauty by her side and let her take charge of the power of the Chu Prince's Mansion. Wouldn't she be worried that Qu Lianxing would have a strange intention and backfire? But if Nangong Mo was really so generous, it would be a good thing for her.

Qu Lianxing didn't care what Princess Lingxiang was thinking, but just accompanied her to drink tea for a while and talked about gossip. Although the two of them tried to each other in words, neither of them was a good-for-nothing lamp, but no one had to test any results and had to face each other speechlessly.

Soon, a sound of light footsteps came from outside the door. Princess Lingxiang stood up first, and Nangong Mo appeared at the door in plain clothes, "Princess Lingxiang, I've been waiting for a long time."

Princess Lingxiang smiled and said, "I dare not, it's this princess who disturbed the princess."

"Princess." Qu Lianxing stepped forward to greet him.

Nangong Mo nodded with a smile and walked to the main seat to sit down. Qu Lianxing did not sit with him anymore, but stood at Nangong Mo's lower head, with a respectful and docile expression, and was not reduced at all. Princess Lingxiang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I have taken the liberty to visit, I really want to discuss with the princess, but I don't know if I can... I will talk?" She looked at Qu Lianxing and signaled that she wanted to talk to Nangong Mo alone.

Nangong Mo nodded slightly, Qu Lianxing turned and said goodbye.

Seeing her go out, Princess Lingxiang sighed: "It's really a blessing to have many talents under the princess."

Nangong Mo smiled lightly and said, "The princess is too much. I wonder what the princess has to talk to me alone?"

Princess Lingxiang looked at her and said, "I guess the princess knows that Nanyue and Daxia are in harmony?" Nangong Mo nodded slightly and did not speak. Princess Lingxiang sighed lightly and said, "It's really a risky thing to come today. It's really my unkind request."

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little curious about Princess Lingxiang's so-called reluctance.

Princess Lingxiang sighed and said, "The Emperor of Daxia has only four princes under his knees, so the court is very stable and harmonious. But I don't know that there are only a dozen princesses under my father's knees, and I am ranked eleven. The oldest sister Hua Huang, who is twenty years older than me, is now the patriarch of the largest tribe in Nanyue, and the remaining few are not inferior. Not to mention the dozens of royal brothers..."

Nangong Mo frowned slightly, still silent.

Princess Lingxiang continued: "Originally, my father intended to marry me to the Nanyue National Guardian General, but I asked to marry Daxia. In fact, I want to find a way out for myself. The National Guardian General holds heavy troops, so how can my emperor sisters and brothers be willing to let me control such a large force?"

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "I heard that the Princess of Nanyue can also control the power."

Princess Ling Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, although Nanyue has not yet gone abroad to the queen, it does not restrict the princess from taking power, as long as she has that ability. It is precisely because of this that the struggle in Nanyue palace has become more and more intense. My father loves me, but unfortunately I am young. By the time I grow up, I have already... Instead of everyone treating me as a thorn in their eyes and struggling to survive, it is better to leave Nanyue and get peace."

Nangong Mo looked at Princess Lingxiang with his head in the side and asked, "So, why did the princess come to the Chu Prince's Mansion?"

Princess Lingxiang said: "I hope the Princess Chu can accept me..."

Seeing that Nangong Mo's face was slightly dark, Princess Lingxiang hurriedly said, "The princess misunderstood me. Lingxiang has no intention of His Highness of Chu. I want to ask the princess to be a concubine and let me have a place to settle in Daxia. Ten years later, when Nanyue no longer pays attention to my whereabouts, Lingxiang will leave Daxia. During this period, I promise that I will never have any inappropriate thoughts about His Highness of Chu."

Nangong Mo looked at Princess Lingxiang in surprise. What the Nanyue princess said made her feel quite interested.

"The princess doesn't believe me?" Princess Lingxiang frowned and asked.

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a little strange."

Princess Lingxiang smiled bitterly, "It makes the princess laugh. In the whole of Daxia... besides entering the palace, I am afraid that only Princess Chu can provide me with a safe place to live. If the princess can agree, Lingxiang will never forget it."

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and pondered. Princess Lingxiang was not in a hurry. Nangong Mo would definitely not agree to her immediately. But she felt that she still had a chance. "I heard that... the court officials in Daxia had some complaints about the lack of backyard of the Chu Prince's Mansion. If the princess could help Lingxiang, it would be considered a benefit, right?"

Nangong Mo raised his head, looked at Princess Lingxiang for a while before slowly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that I can't help the princess."

Upon hearing this, Princess Lingxiang was stunned. She was a little confused. So, Princess Chu... actually rejected her so neatly? Why?

"Why? Princess, I take it seriously..."

Nangong Mo raised his hand to stop what she wanted to say, and said, "This has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not or whether the princess is interested in the prince." Princess Lingxiang was confused, "What... is it for?"

Nangong Mo said: "No one will enter the Chu Prince's Mansion."

"How is this possible?" Princess Lingxiang said, "The princess thinks... is this kind of thing realistic?" Even in Nanyue, a woman's status is higher than that in Daxia, but there are still many men with three wives and four concubines. The royal family of Nanyue is even more wives and concubines, fearing that it is not enough. Daxia is more strict than Nanyue's ethics, and Daxia is more powerful and vast than Nanyue. As the eldest son of Daxia, how could there be only one wife and not even a concubine? Even if the royal family and court officials can tolerate it for a while, it is impossible for a lifetime.

Princess Lingxiang looked at Nangong Mo with a strange expression and said, "Does the princess really believe that the King of Chu will devote himself to you all his life?"

Princess Ling Xiang felt that the woman in plain clothes sitting in front of her was a little ridiculous. I heard that Princess Chu in Daxia was so amazing. Is it really such a naive woman?

Nangong Mo raised his eyes, as if he didn't see the disapproval in her eyes. He said lightly: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Can you devote yourself to it all your life? You have to live your life to know, right?"

Princess Lingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was not really that stupid.

"The princess knows that it is impossible, so why bother..."

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "But I do believe him now."

“…”

After being silent for a long time, Princess Lingxiang sighed helplessly and said, "Since the princess believes in His Highness the King of Chu, why can't she be convenient for me? Naturally, I will not repay the princess and His Highness the King of Chu."
