Selecting a concubine? How could that be possible! After hearing Zong Zheng Xiaoting's decision, Gong Yunluo and Gong Yunfei were so shocked that they could not express it in words.
Yes, although Zongzheng Xiaoting listened to their ideas and the measures to be taken were all carried out according to their ideas, the two sisters never thought that others would benefit from it. Gong Yunluo thought in her heart and blurted out, "Princess Xiaoting, isn't this selection of concubines for the purpose of helping you and Brother Xunxiao? Why are you thinking about helping others?"
Seeing Gong Yunluo's anger, Zongzheng Xiaoting didn't take it seriously. She raised her beautiful eyes and said, "I see that the prince is really lonely. Moreover, I know that there is no cat that doesn't cheat. Sooner or later, other women will move into the Zhan Prince's Mansion. Instead of waiting for the prince to pick one who he thinks is suitable and bring her into the palace to pamper her, it is better for me to take this opportunity to pick one who is easy to use. I believe that the two princesses who have lived in the deep palace for a long time should also understand the reason."
How could this be possible! Gong Yunluo clenched his fists tightly, cursing Zongzheng Xiaoting in his heart no less than a thousand times. Upon seeing this, Gong Yunfei hurriedly approached Gong Yunluo, secretly tugged at the corner of Gong Yunluo's clothes where he couldn't be seen, and said, "In fact, the princess doesn't know that brother Xunxiao is different from other men. Yunfei believes that he doesn't want to see the arrangements made by the princess for him. Although you and I both grew up in the deep palace, after all, there will be people who are unlikely to do so, right?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting nodded in agreement. She tilted her head and thought for a while, "That's true, but I'd better take precautions. I appreciate the kindness of the two princesses. Now that we have this method, let's wait for good news!"
After saying this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting stretched his back lazily, "I was busy for most of last night and didn't get enough rest. I won't disturb you two anymore. Qingqing, let's go back to Yunxiao Court."
"Yes!" Qingqing responded hurriedly, and swiftly stepped forward to lift up Zongzheng Xiaoting's hand, and then left gracefully under the angry stares of the two sisters Gong Yunluo and Gong Yunfei.
Watching Zongzheng Xiaoting leave, Gong Yunluo angrily slammed the table and vented his anger at Gong Yunfei, "Tell me, your idea was great!"
"Sister, don't be angry first." Gong Yunfei looked at Gong Yunluo's posture and naturally knew that she was blaming herself. She also knew that at this moment, she just needed him to give her some advice. As long as she had a plan, her anger would naturally disappear. It would be easy to deal with this stupid Gong Yunluo. Gong Yunfei laughed secretly in her heart, but her face was still that obedient and docile. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is not a bad thing. Think about it, sister. Didn't we suspect that his motives were not right before? Look at today, how could anyone be willing to share a man with another woman! Let alone whether she loves Brother Xunxiao or not, just the fact that she, Zongzheng Xiaoting, wants to find a woman who can be controlled from him is enough to know what this person is thinking. And before, when she just entered the palace, she said in front of the Queen Mother that she was so eager to marry Brother Xunxiao, and she also said how deep their feelings for each other were. If that was true, she would be like you, sister, and would not have so much time to consider other things."
Gong Yunfei's words quickly shifted Gong Yunluo's mood. She followed Gong Yunfei's lead and thought about it, and naturally, she let Gong Yunfei lead her by the nose. When she nodded, Gong Yunfei knew that she had successfully aroused Gong Yunluo's hatred towards Zongzheng Xiaoting.
"Damn Zong Zheng Xiaoting, Brother Xun Xiao's kindness is in vain! I didn't expect that she is really such a person! If this is the case, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, sister. We are here for you, right? The Queen Mother's wish is for you to help. So whoever she takes a fancy to, you will naturally have a way to make things difficult for her! If you are really forced to do so and want someone to disappear, there are many ways to do it. Didn't you do everything perfectly when dealing with those women who secretly wanted to spy on Brother Xunxiao?" Gong Yunfei soothed lightly. Although her words seemed to be soothing and flattering to Gong Yunluo, they could not escape the meaning of fanning the flames.
Gong Yunfei's words made Gong Yunluo smile.
That's right, it's too easy to make a person disappear. If Zong Zheng Xiaoting really has a crush on someone and hasn't sent her to the palace, then naturally someone in that vortex won't tolerate her. Or, if she accidentally falls to her death, there will be no evidence.
Looking at Gong Yunluo's smile, Gong Yunfei didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who had returned to Yunxiao Courtyard, simply gave a few instructions to Ningshuang and the others, and then in a good mood he set up a swing in the garden of Yunxiao Courtyard, swinging on it comfortably and amusing himself.
Ningshuang was a smart person. She put a lot of thought into the first mission assigned to her by Zongzheng Xiaoting after she came to Yunguang Kingdom. In less than half a day, everyone in the capital knew about the notice. Ningshuang simply followed Zongzheng Xiaoting's instructions and set up a small stall where the notice was posted to answer questions from the people. Naturally, she also revealed some necessary and unnecessary information in a very covert way.
In the evening of that day, many daughters were ready to come to participate in the selection. Just when Zong Zheng Xiaoting was bored, Xiaohong, the first-class maid of Yunxiao Courtyard of Prince Zhan's mansion, hurried over to report. "Princess, according to your wishes, the South Courtyard of the Prince Zhan's mansion is ready, but someone just came to ask for an audience, saying that he wanted to paint a portrait of the prince."
"Remember what I said, only the right person can be selected to paint for the prince. Moreover, my prince is a handsome man, how can he be seen by cats and dogs? She is so anxious to see the prince before she even enters the palace. I know what she is thinking. Get out of here."
"Yes! I think so too." Xiaohong lowered her head and said, "It's just... it's just that Miss Qingqing has said that in special circumstances, we can ask the princess for instructions."
"Oh?" Zongzheng Xiaoting raised his eyebrows and looked up at Xiaohong, "What's going on?"
After hearing Zong Zheng Xiaoting's question, Xiaohong glanced at Qingqing and seemed to have mustered up her courage. She said all at once, "The man said that if I can get what I want, I will reward you handsomely..."
After saying this, Xiaohong looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting uneasily, and then said, "I also think that this person is really..."
"They are so reliable." Zong Zheng Xiaoting suddenly spoke, looking at Qingqing and Xiaohong, nodding in praise.
Reliable? Xiaohong stood there at a loss, a little stunned.
