After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 83 Gossip

Because it was the prince's wedding, the vassal princes who were far away were also allowed to return to the capital.

Because the late emperor liked beauty, he had the most princes among the emperors who founded the Xia Dynasty. Not counting those who died in infancy, there were nearly twenty adult princes.

And you can imagine how fiercely these princes will compete for the heir apparent when they grow up.

The late emperor, who was the champion in the previous competition for the crown prince, seemed to think this was quite normal, so he never established a crown prince and allowed them to fight as they pleased.

This directly resulted in a number of outstanding and capable princes dying in battles with each other. It was not until the late emperor was about to die that he suddenly realized that he did not have many sons!

So the honest and simple Jing Hedi stood out. There was no way, the quality of the remaining princes was really poor, so we had to choose the higher ones among the short ones.

Therefore, many people think that Jing and Di are definitely the first ones to pick up leaks. Some people think that Jing and Di look honest and honest, but in fact they have deeper thoughts than anyone else. They have used the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole to follow to the extreme.

When several people saw Shen Mingjiao, their eyes lit up. One of them, a man with elegant eyebrows, stared straight at Shen Mingjiao, with no concealment of the evil thoughts in his eyes.

"What a beautiful lady!"

He is the King of Chu, and he is the only son who inherited the beauty of the late emperor. But apart from this shortcoming, the late emperor was also excellent in other talents and strategies. However, the King of Chu very accurately avoided these advantages. In addition to being lustful, he was still lustful.

.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his arm suddenly hurt. King Chu turned his head angrily and met Feng Lisheng's cold, sharp eyes. He was frightened and shrank his neck.

However, Princess Yu stepped forward and greeted her warmly: "Hello, uncles and uncles!"

"Why are you back so early? Is the previous ceremony over..."

King Huai, who had the most gentle personality, replied: "It's not over yet. Brother Huang asked us to come over and entertain the officials from the DPRK and the Central Committee who are attending the banquet..."

Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but look at Prince Yu who was standing to one side with his head slightly lowered. He was also wearing a scarlet python robe. Instead of showing any royal nobility, he seemed to be completely suppressed by the clothes.

.

Compared with the other princes, his appearance is too ordinary. Among the princes of the royal family, especially the late emperor, he can definitely be called an outlier.

Why? Because it is said that the late emperor was handsome, and coupled with his beauty, it would be difficult for the children he gave birth to to be good-looking. Even the most inconspicuous King of Chu had a charming and good-looking appearance.

The birth of King Yu was just an accident, and the story is also very cliché. It is said that one time when the late emperor was drunk in the palace, he dragged a random maid over and favored her.

When I woke up the next day and saw the appearance of the palace maid, I was so disgusted that I couldn't eat for several days and felt deeply that I had been defiled.

Just to be on the safe side, I directly ordered the nun who specializes in this to rub and massage the maid's lower back for a long time, and then the fluid came out.

It's a pity that the palace maid finally got it.

After King Yu was born, he not only had an ordinary appearance, but also had a stupid mouth. Naturally, the late emperor was not happy with him in every possible way.

When it came time to get married, he directly chose a seventh-grade county magistrate's daughter for him.

But who would have thought that such a cowardly and transparent figure who was almost ignored by others would eventually force the palace to rebel and almost bloodbath the entire palace.

All I can say is that people should not be judged by their appearance!

Perhaps Shen Mingjiao's gaze lingered a little too long. King Yu, who had his eyes lowered, quietly raised his head and saw Shen Mingjiao's face. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly lowered his eyes.

Princess Yu glared at him with disgust, obviously finding him very embarrassing.

Feng Lisheng stepped forward to block everyone's sight, and said softly: "It's almost time. All of you, royal brothers, go to the front to entertain the guests."

After a few people left, Princess Yu came over again with a smile: "I can't believe that Xiao Liu is so interested in you!"

"But it's no wonder that my siblings look like this, even a man can't control himself..."

Shen Mingjiao still didn't want to talk to him, but Princess Yu didn't care and continued to talk to herself.

Arriving all the way to the lounge where the female family members were, Shen Mingjiao took a look and saw Mrs. Tong sitting on one side and Tong Yuyao who was smiling sweetly, but she did not see Cui Lingling.

Gu Danxue also didn't come. She wasn't familiar with the ladies in the hall, so she planned to find a place to sit quietly. However, there was the very eloquent Princess Yu beside her.

Princess Yu followed her gaze and then lowered her voice and said:

"That's the girl from Brother Tong's hometown. Let me tell you, I heard that he will get married soon?"

"Do you know who she is going to marry? It's the young prince of the Duke of Lu who was selected as a scholar at the age of ten and has been hailed as a child prodigy since he was a child. He is the natal family of the first princess..."

At this point, she realized something was wrong even though she was not smart, and quickly stopped talking. She then continued to gossip about the marriage between the two families:

"I heard that the young master has been traveling abroad. He saw that he had reached the age of getting married, but he refused to come back. It was the Duke of Lu who pretended to be sick to trick him back..."

Shen Mingjiao listened quietly, but what she was thinking in her heart was that it seemed that Cui Lingling was not far away from completely figuring out how to get rid of the Tong family.

At this time, the hall suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then the lowered whispers of several noble ladies around were heard.

"Why did she have the nerve to come..."

"If I were her, I would be so ashamed and angry that I would die..."

"Shh, you forgot her relationship with Su Qing..."

Shen Mingjiao followed everyone's gaze and saw Xu Ningyue walking in.

It's just...different from the arrogance and domineering behavior in the past. At this time, her face was pale, her eyes were gloomy, and she was wearing a plain cross-collar gown. She didn't look like she was attending a wedding, but more like she was attending a funeral.

She was secretly guessing what happened to Xu Ningyue? Princess Yu, a gossip lover, started reporting at the right time.

Even though Princess Yu had just returned to Beijing a few days ago, she knew all the secrets of wealthy families in the capital, including weddings and funerals.

"This matter should start from the birthday banquet of Mrs. Jingguo Mansion..."

Shen Mingjiao waved her hand to interrupt her, and finally said: "Okay, I will be at the scene that day, just tell me about Xu Ningyue!"

Princess Yu was obviously very happy when she heard this: "My younger siblings are finally willing to talk to me!"

Shen Mingjiao said helplessly: "There is no way, even if I ignore you, Sister-in-law Seven will not leave!"

Anyway, after the wedding is over, it will be time for the several vassal kings to return to their fiefdoms.

Seeing Shen Mingjiao's cooperation, Princess Yu spoke even more energetically:

"Although the Duke of Jingguo told the ladies who were present not to spread the matter to outsiders, how could such a thing be covered up? In less than half a day, Pei Ning's ridiculous scandal with the man at his grandmother's birthday banquet spread throughout the world.

The upper-class circles in the capital..."

"Pei Ning's reputation plummeted. The ladies who had wanted to get married to him were secretly glad. In the end, guess what..."

Shen Mingjiao asked cooperatively: "What's wrong?"
