Chapter 121 Who can not break the defense
Princess Anyang's Mansion.
"Young Master met the Prince's gang at the poetry meeting yesterday. They laughed at him for cheating, and he was so angry that he came back and smashed everything in the house..." the servant boy reported tremblingly.
Princess Anyang rubbed her head with a headache:
"This damned Chi Moyan... caused my son to be laughed at by others. How come there is no news from the person he sent out to assassinate me?"
Zhou Gou stepped forward and said respectfully, "Chi Moyan is just a weak scholar. It's easy to kill him. But it needs to be done cleanly, which requires some careful arrangements. Your Highness, please wait for a while."
Princess Anyang has been in a bad mood recently.
Because of Dong Zefei's cheating, he was so busy that he had no time to deal with Jiang Rong.
"Wait, wait, can't he die quickly?" Princess Anyang lost her temper.
No one dared to say anything.
Zhou Gou changed the subject and said, "Now Fan Ziyi and Xun He are laughed at as a pair of gays!"
"What?" Princess Anyang immediately became interested.
One's own troubles are certainly a headache, but looking at other people's embarrassing things will make you feel more balanced.
Zhou Gou immediately told her about the article in "Qianqiu Volume 4" that shocked the people.
"Interesting! Really interesting! Isn't Fan Ziyi so angry that he's about to vomit blood?" Princess Anyang felt for the first time that this Wanjuan Study had done something good, and she gloated:
"Quick, bring the book over to me..."
Zhou Gou looked embarrassed, "That's not necessary..."
"Just take it if I tell you to! If you keep talking nonsense, go and get fifty strokes of the cane yourself!" Princess Anyang said impatiently.
Zhou Gou felt very regretful, but he had no choice but to present "Qianqiu Volume 4".
Princess Anyang skimmed the first volume and frowned when she saw the first article in the second volume. "Only someone from the Northern Prince's Palace could write an article praising Xie Lingxi like this, praising a dandy boy like a great hero..."
"By the way, Dong Xiqin is now promised to Prince Duan as the person to seduce Xie Lingxi. You need to arrange it as soon as possible."
Zhou Gou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes..."
Princess Anyang flipped through the book and saw the part about Fan Ziyi and Xun He at the end...
He immediately laughed so hard that he fell backwards, overjoyed and extremely happy:
"Fan Ziyi must be very angry. Jiang Rong is such an idiot. She offended Fan Ziyi like this. Well, it would be best if Fan Ziyi could punish her for me..."
She turned the page again, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
Because the title of the next article is: "The eldest princess's son pretended to be sick to avoid war, was it because he was afraid of being exposed for cheating in the imperial examination?"
"Bang!"
Princess Anyang threw the book in anger, "Nonsense! It's complete nonsense!"
Zhou Gou knelt silently on the side and dared not say a word. He thought to himself, I told you not to watch it, but you didn't listen at all.
It's okay to listen to other people's jokes, but you have to watch your own jokes yourself.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" Princess Anyang was furious.
She didn't know whether Fan Ziyi was mad to death or not, but she was almost mad to death herself...
…
Prince's Mansion.
Crown Princess Fan left Fan Ziyi alone to talk.
"Brother, mother means that you should find a wife as soon as possible..." Fan had a complicated expression.
Fan Ziyi frowned, "I am focused on helping the Crown Prince ascend to the throne and dealing with Prince Duan. I don't have time to care about these romantic matters. Let's wait until the situation stabilizes a bit before we talk about it."
"But now there are rumors in the capital that you and Xun He are... gay..." Fan hesitated to speak.
Fan Ziyi's face froze, and he said coldly: "It's just some rumors, it's not worth mentioning!"
A person who is innocent is innocent. His heart is as solid as a rock and indestructible. How could he be disturbed by a few rumors?
But when Fan Ziyi returned home...
He discovered that the lower-level officials who had curry favor with him had replaced the beauties they had sent him with with male prostitutes this time...
Fan Ziyi: ...MLZL...
"Tell my mother a message and choose a wife immediately." Fan Ziyi gritted his teeth.
The defense was broken.
Who can endure this?
…
Another thing that people in the capital talked about as much as the love story between Fan and Xun was the competition among the eight most beautiful girls in brothels.
Following Jiang Rong's instructions, the people in Wanjuan Bookstore have been keeping a close eye on the news about the Oiran Contest.
Jiang Rong finished reading the latest information.
Saw a name.
Misty Rain Tower, Hua Lian.
Yanyu Tower was one of the eight brothels in the capital. The head prostitute was redeemed by a high-ranking official a few months ago, and he temporarily bought a famous prostitute from Jiangnan.
This person's name is Hua Lian.
The person she was waiting for arrived.
Jiang Rong said to Feicui, "Ask Qiu Niang to send a message to Hua Lian in the name of Wanjuan Book Studio. Don't let anyone know that it's me who wants to see her. Including Hua Lian."
Feicui was very surprised. Why did the Crown Princess want to meet an oiran?
But she didn't ask any more questions and just took the order to make the arrangements.
When Qiu Niang received the news from Jiang Rong, she immediately wrote an invitation letter and sent it to Yanyu Tower.
"We will write a special article to introduce the courtesans of the eight brothels. I wonder if the madam would be willing to let Miss Hua Lian have a chat with our editor?" Qiu Niang asked politely.
Of course the madam of Yanyu Tower was very happy.
Now, Qianqiu is the most popular book in the capital, so it's a good opportunity to help promote it...
"It is our honor. We would also like to trouble the gentlemen in the study to say a few good words for our Miss Hua Lian!" said the madam happily.
Qiu Niang said, "Then how about we meet at the teahouse on Qingshi Street tomorrow afternoon?"
"Of course!" the madam agreed immediately.
Qiu Niang did not go into the brothel. She discussed things with the madam at the door and then left.
Before leaving, he happened to see Miss Hua Lian going on stage.
Qiu Niang was also a little curious about her. Why would the Crown Prince's wife care so much about an oiran? She couldn't help but take a closer look.
This girl, Hua Lian, is very tall and graceful.
Her eyebrows and eyes are delicate, like jade carvings, but she is cold as ice, never smiles, and her temperament is like snow.
As soon as he came on stage, everyone cheered.
She sat in front of a guqin, plucking the strings, and the sound of the guqin was clear and melodious...
Qiu Niang didn't understand, but she thought it sounded particularly nice. But in this place of fireworks, how many people came to listen to the piano?
I'm afraid it's a waste of such good piano sound.
…
In the exquisite building.
Zhou Hongyang took Shen Wenyuan to drink and complained:
"Brother Shen, Xie Lingxi broke my legs twice! But Fan Ziyi also warned us not to conflict with the Xie family! Can this young master only swallow his anger?"
The Xunhe incident prompted Fan Ziyi to warn all the young masters of the Prince's party.
Don't mess with Xie Lingxi.
Shen Wenyuan consoled him, "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future, it will be easy to deal with the Xie family. But in this situation right now, Prince Duan is watching closely. If you have a conflict with the Xie family, someone else will benefit."
Master Shen has made it clear that he is neutral, but Shen Wenyuan is privately very close to the prince's party.
"But... if you can't deal with Xie Lingxi, can you still deal with a commoner girl?" Shen Wenyuan smiled.
"If it weren't for that commoner girl, how could you have gotten into trouble with the Northern Prince's Mansion? Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Brother Zhou, did you seek revenge on the wrong person?"
He has always been a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Not daring to offend Xie Lingxi, he instigated Zhou Hongyang to bully ordinary people.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of this. Thank you, Brother Shen, for your reminder." Zhou Hongyang suddenly realized, and a ferocious look flashed in his eyes: "If it weren't for this little bitch, how could this young master have suffered so much! That's right, I should go and collect some interest from her!"
