Liang Hengyu was really angry.
He didn't expect that his own brother, in order to get that position, not only wanted him to devote himself to becoming a concubine, but also wanted his princess consort to die of illness to give up the position. He felt a little disappointed.
His days in Northern Frontier were the most relaxing and enjoyable. He got along well with Xiao Hanzheng's family, and he didn't want to take advantage of Xiao Baili.
At the same time, he also decided that when Xiao Hanzheng and others returned, he would take his princess consort to North City.
It just so happened that when he came back this time, he also wanted to ask Xiao Hanzheng to help his princess to see a doctor.
When the time comes, he will use the excuse of going to North City for recuperation to avoid these disputes. He is really fed up with this kind of intrigue.
He didn't have much ambition. If the Second Prince wasn't his biological brother from the same mother, he would have wanted to support the Crown Prince.
After all, the prince is stronger than his other brothers in every aspect.
Liang Hengshao didn't expect that Lao Wu would change his expression and become unhappy.
He was also a little unhappy, and lowered his voice and said, "What are you talking about? Now that the emperor values the prince, I want to fight for him, so of course I have to win over some useful people."
"Didn't you see that Lao Liu has made some moves?"
"Are you not as good as Lao Liu?"
The people guarding the door were his men, so he dared to say such things.
Liang Hengyu stood up and said, "Lao Liu is Lao Liu, and I am me."
Then he said sarcastically: "Second brother, if you want to use women to win over someone, it's better for you to do it yourself. I don't have that ability."
His second brother was really obsessed with the throne.
But he also knew that it was impossible to persuade his second brother to give up now.
Liang Hengshao's face darkened. "If I can do it myself, why would I look for you?"
Not only does he have a prince's wife, he also has concubines and maids, and even several children. Uncle Yi and Xiao Hanzheng would definitely not agree to him marrying Xiao Baili.
Otherwise why would he let his own brother take action?
Liang Hengyu shrugged, "Since you can't do it yourself, then I can't do it either."
He thought about it and said, "Second brother, isn't it good to be an idle king? I think Uncle Yi is a good one."
He also wanted to be a free and idle king in the future. If the court needed him, he would help, and if not, he would just be free and easy.
Liang Hengshao looked at his brother with disappointment, "Why have you become so unmotivated?"
"And you envy Uncle Yi because he is his elder brother from the same mother."
"If I take that position, you will naturally be the next Uncle Yi."
"Can't you help me, your brother?"
Since Laowu went to North City, he has become less and less motivated, which is not acceptable.
Liang Hengyu saw that he couldn't make sense, so he shook his head and said, "I want to help you, but I will never sacrifice my princess, nor do I want to use Xiao Baili."
"Besides, Xiao Baili doesn't like me, so it's impossible for her to be my concubine."
He has a good relationship with Xi Rui, so he naturally knows that guy likes Xiao Baili.
The key is to look at Xiao Baili's appearance, she is also interested in Xi Rui.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo did not stop the two from interacting. If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Baili and Xi Rui would be a couple, and he certainly would not interfere and be a nuisance.
Of course, he didn't say this to anyone, for fear that his second brother might sabotage it.
Liang Hengshao's face darkened again, "Old Five, are you unwilling to help me?"
Suddenly I felt like my brother was out of control.
Seeing that his brother was still obsessed with this matter, Liang Hengyu became impatient and said, "Anyway, I can't possibly use Xiao Baili and the Xiao family, so just give up on this idea."
After saying this, without waiting for his brother to say anything else, he opened the door and left.
Liang Hengshao couldn't help but smash the teacup in his hand to the ground.
He somewhat regretted that he had taken the initiative to let Lao Wu go to Northern Xinjiang.
The Second Prince and the Fifth Prince parted unhappily, while Xi Rui took Xiao Baili to eat delicious wontons, and each of them bought a string of candied haws to eat.
The two of them were talking and laughing, and looked happy.
One of them, Miss Yan, had a family that wanted her to marry Xi Rui.
She was not happy at first, after all, Xi Rui was a playboy.
Even if you become a dean, what great achievements can you make?
But now seeing Xi Rui talking and laughing with other women, she felt uncomfortable again.
So she took her friend and walked over.
Miss Yan bowed politely to Xi Rui and said, "Greetings, Master Xi."
She was a talented woman from Kyoto. Her grandfather was the Minister of Dali Temple, so she was very confident.
Xi Rui was very confused, "Who are you?"
Miss Yan gave him a smile that she thought was perfect, "My grandfather was the Dali Temple Minister, my aunt was Consort Hui, and I am the third legitimate daughter of the Yan family."
Xi Rui was very indifferent, "Oh."
It turns out that she is the Sixth Prince's cousin. No wonder she is also disliked by others.
Then he would take Xiao Baili away.
Miss Yan didn't expect Xi Rui to be so cold and rude, which made her even more upset.
She did not move aside, but took the initiative to ask: "Where are you going, Master Xi?"
Xi Rui raised his eyebrows, "What does where I go have to do with you?"
Then he hurriedly explained to Xiao Baili with a smile, "I don't know her."
But don't let his little white pear get the wrong idea.
Xiao Baili could see that Brother Rui didn't know this young lady, and this young lady had the arrogance of a girl from an aristocratic family. Although she appeared polite on the surface, her eyes showed a bit of contempt.
Obviously, he looks down on Brother Rui in his heart.
She didn't like such a two-faced woman. Since she thought Brother Rui was not a good person, why should she take the initiative to greet him?
In her heart, even though Brother Rui was a playboy, he was still a very good person.
She smiled and nodded at him, "Of course I believe you."
Xi Rui smiled brightly, "I want to buy some stone to carve a seal. Can you help me choose?"
Xiao Baili nodded, "Okay, my sister-in-law taught me how to choose materials."
Miss Yan, who was ignored by the two men, could no longer maintain the smile on her face.
She looked at Xiao Baili next to Xi Rui and asked, "Who is this lady?"
Then he added, "I haven't seen you before at the flower-viewing banquets of the ladies in the capital."
This means that Xiao Baili must be of low standard and not presentable, otherwise how could she have never even been to a flower-viewing banquet.
Before Xiao Baili could speak, Xi Rui said proudly, "This is Princess Yao. She just came back from North City. Of course you didn't see her at the banquet."
"By the way, you didn't know her identity before, so we won't mind the lack of greetings."
He then continued, "Now that we know, should we greet the princess?"
He has always kept his distance from women. If they don't provoke him, he will naturally treat them politely.
But if you look down on him and even want to step on his little white pear, then he won't have any so-called grace.
Miss Yan and the other girl's expressions changed. Obviously, they didn't expect that the person next to Xi Rui would be Princess Yao, who was currently in the limelight in the capital.
The two of them were envious and contemptuous of Xiao Baili's identity, thinking that she was just a sparrow that flew to the tree with the help of King Yi.
None of them really wanted to salute.
Xiao Baili could see what the two were thinking.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it so difficult for you two to greet this princess?"
