Chapter 399 Sweet Talk
After hearing the whole story, Nie Changping couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Tsk tsk, this Qiu Yuan is really cruel. In order to get the throne, he even dared to kill his own father and brother. Fortunately, you didn't fall into his trap. If his evil plan really succeeded, who knows how much trouble it would cause in the future."
Luo Qinghan didn't have much thought about the dead.
He talked about his arrangements.
"Originally, even if you didn't come, I was going to write you a letter. Now that you're here, the rest will be easier.
The King of Chenliu was dead, two of his sons had died and one was gone, so he had no descendants who could inherit the throne.
This also means that the fiefdom of Chenliu County and the military power of the 50,000 Chixiao Army must be taken back.
I want you to take over Chenliu County and Chixiao Army."
Nie Changping's biological mother is Princess Jingyang. If you really want to count, he and the prince are cousins.
Among his peers, Nie Changping was the only one who was canonized as a prince.
But the title of Prince was obtained by Princess Jingyang at the cost of her life.
It is said that when the emperor was still a prince, he was assassinated. In order to protect him, Princess Jingyang was killed by the assassin and died on the spot.
The emperor was deeply moved. After he ascended the throne, he issued an edict to posthumously confer the title of Princess Jingyang as the eldest princess, and also made an exception to confer the title of Prince on her only son.
Because Nie Changping was too young at the time, the emperor only gave him the title but no fiefdom.
It is precisely because he lost his mother at a young age that Nie Changping is close to the prince.
They are all the same, having lost their biological mothers when they were young, and the same experience allows them to understand each other better.
After hearing what the prince said, Nie Changping laughed out loud.
"Haha, I didn't expect such a good thing to happen. It seems that my long journey was worth it!"
Although Chenliu County is far away from Shengjing, it is rich in resources and adjacent to Mobei, making it an important checkpoint between Dasheng and Mobei.
Today, the relationship between Dasheng and Mobei is relatively harmonious, but who knows what will happen in the future?
It was precisely to prevent the people of Mobei from launching a surprise attack on Dasheng that the imperial court allowed the Prince of Chenliu to stockpile 50,000 troops in Chenliu County.
Now letting Nie Changping take over the fiefdom of Chenliu County and the 50,000 Chixiao Army is like a big gift package falling from the sky.
No matter who it is, they would be overjoyed.
After Nie Changping finished laughing, he couldn't help but ask, "Will the emperor agree?"
Everyone in Shengjing knew that Nie Changping had a good relationship with the prince, and the emperor must have known about this, otherwise he would not have specially sent Nie Changping all the way to Chenliu County to investigate the truth behind the prince's murder.
If Chenliu County and Chixiao Army were given to Nie Changping, it would be equivalent to handing this piece of fat meat to the prince. In that case, the prince's strength would surely increase.
My son is so capable, so shouldn’t I be worried?
The emperor has always been suspicious and certainly does not want to see such a situation.
Luo Qinghan asked calmly, "You've already come here, can he still drive you away?"
When Nie Changping heard this, he immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
"Alright! You are the best! Let me take the seat first. Even if the emperor is unhappy, he can't force me out. After all, he still owes my mother a life."
Although this may be a bit shameless, as long as the goal can be achieved, who cares whether it is shameful or not?
No matter how good-looking you are, can the benefits you get be more substantial? !
…
In order to welcome the arrival of the young prince Nie Changping, the prince held a welcoming banquet in the palace in the evening.
All the people present were their own people.
Luo Qinghan didn't like to make a fuss, so he just invited everyone to have a meal and didn't ask anyone to prepare any singing or dancing performances.
Nie Changping buried his head in eating. His stomach and tongue, which had been suffering for many days, were finally satisfied tonight.
The eldest prince Luo Yechen had no interest in these foods and wine.
He was tired of eating these things every day in the palace.
His eyes wandered between the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao.
He wanted Concubine Xiao to perform a show to ridicule her and at the same time humiliate the Crown Prince.
But he soon remembered the suona played by Concubine Xiao during the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner.
It was like the sorrow and sadness during the Qingming Festival when visiting graves...
Luo Yechen immediately killed this thought.
We can’t let Concubine Xiao perform!
Her show is killer!
Xiao Xixi said to the prince beside her while holding a chicken wing.
"Your Highness, I will perform a show for you."
Luo Qinghan instinctively felt that something was wrong. Based on this woman's usual behavior, she would definitely not have any normal routine.
But because of this, he was a little curious and wanted to know what other unexpected things she could do?
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything, just looked at her expressionlessly.
Then he saw Xiao Xixi swallow the whole chicken wing into her mouth. As she chewed, her face bulged up and down, like a big squirrel eating.
After a moment, she opened her mouth and spat out a whole rack of chicken wing bones.
Xiao Xixi swallowed the chicken in her mouth, then picked up the chicken wing bones on the plate and said excitedly: "Look! I can eat the chicken wings cleanly with just my mouth. Am I amazing?"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
What on earth is she so proud of?
Seeing that he was indifferent, Xiao Xixi was a little disappointed: "This is my unique skill, don't you want to praise me?"
Luo Qinghan said honestly: "I can't brag about it."
Xiao Xixi groaned, "Why is it so difficult to get His Highness to say some sweet words?"
Luo Qinghan: "You want to hear sweet words?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "Yes, yes!"
Although she is a lazy person, she still has a girlish heart sometimes.
Which girl doesn’t like to hear sweet words?
Luo Qinghan thought for a moment before saying, "Other people look good when they smile, but you are different..."
Xiao Xixi looked at him expectantly.
Luo Qinghan: "You look funny."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
With a snap, the chicken bone in her hand was broken by her.
Luo Qinghan: "Do you want to hear some more sweet words?"
Xiao Xixi felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might have some misunderstanding about the words "sweet words"?
How can this be considered sweet talk?
He is simply speaking poisonous words!
Fortunately, she is immune to all poisons, otherwise she would have been poisoned to death by him!
Xiao Xixi said sincerely, "No need for that. Just continue to be a quiet handsome man. Please shut your mouth and don't say anything."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Xiao Xixi threw away the chicken bone in her hand and continued to eat.
Humph, why are you listening to such sweet words?
Is the meat not fragrant enough? Or is the rice not tasty?
The straight prince felt that he was telling the truth, so he didn't understand why Xiao Xixi suddenly ignored him.
But seeing how happily she was eating, I guess she wouldn’t be angry after a while.
