Chapter 749 : Have Some Face
|
Yang Shao wasn’t a rash youth. Silly boy, how could he not understand this little twist?
In the past, he had always been eyeing Xiao Baoxin. Although he had been snatched away by Xiao Jing ‘ai halfway through, he could not be blamed. In that kind of situation, it was hard to get off the tiger. He did not choose that fellow because he was really afraid that she would go crazy and publicize the matter and lose her life. As for sincerity, it was something that he had never felt before. Furthermore, he was engaged to Princess Lujiang and would be getting married next spring. Instead of being a proper relative of the Daliang Empire, he would be blinded by lust for the ninth princess who had no power and was wandering in Daliang.
He really wasn11 that stupid.
The Ninth Princess of Rouran went to the Yang Residence and was immediately escorted out by Yang Shao’s personal guards without any respect.
If she went to other places to look for his shadow, he would either be in the Imperial City or Stone City. The Ninth Princess of Rouran could only look at the city and sigh. In the end, he actually begged Zhuge Fu to build a bridge for him to meet Yang Shao.
Anakui had entrusted the marriage of the Ninth Princess to Zhuge Fu, so he should be able to handle it when Zhuge Fu came looking for him.
However, Zhuge Fu was not someone who did not do things. He really found a few generals for the Ninth Princess. They were all good-looking and their families were not low. One of them was even working under Yang Shao.
The problem was that the Ninth Princess didn’t even like him. She didn’t know when she saw Yang Shao and fell in love with him.
He looked down on none of them.
Zhuge Fu was pestered tirelessly. In the end, he directly went to Emperor Yong Ping and let him make the decision. He really could not take it anymore.
Emperor Yong Ping pushed 625. Anakui entrusted this matter to you, so you have to do it. Why are you looking for me? You can’t just let me randomly give someone to the Ninth Princess of Rouran, right?
Even though he was stranded in Daliang, to put it nicely, Rouran Daliang was friendly, and he was treated like a distinguished guest.
Since he was the one who suggested the marriage, she had to listen to him.
He was the Emperor of Daliang, not the Emperor of Rouran. He was someone important if he was ignored. If he was ignored, he would be nothing. He knew his limits.
The problem went back to where it came from and was kicked back to Zhuge Fu. Zhuge Fu felt a headache coming on. It was fine to be a diplomatic envoy to Rouran and gain merit points. However, he could not bear to provoke such a pair of siblings.
However, he couldn’t hold on any longer, but the Ninth Princess of Rouran could.
Zhuge Fu looked for the Emperor and the Empress followed suit. She couldn’t see the Emperor.
Empress Xiao was friendly with the Rouran Ninth Princess and would occasionally invite her into the palace for a chat. Fortunately, the ninth princess was a straightforward person. She was happy when she was happy and unhappy when she was unhappy. Empress Xiao was very harmonious with the ninth princess except for the occasional speechlessness.
After all, she had been on good terms with Xiao Baoxin. Empress Xiao had experience dealing with people with straightforward tempers.
Moreover, his heart was not tired.
If you have any ulterior motives, don’t use them on her. It’s best if you just say what you want to say.
As for the Ninth Princess of Rouran…Empress Xiao was suspicious, but she couldn’t tell. She was more boorish and unrestrained than Xiao Baoxin.
Rouran’s Ninth Princess and Empress Xiao expressed their feelings and took a fancy to Yang Shao.
In the end, Empress Xiao had called the idle princesses and a few concubines that she had taken a fancy to in front of her. Princess Lujiang, who was inside, exploded at that time.
Because she had never been on good terms with the eldest princess of Xuancheng, even her mother, Consort Zhou, had always been worried that Emperor Yong Ping, who doted on his sister to the heavens, would control Lujiang during the marriage.
Who knew that she would actually choose Yang Shao.
Even though Yang Shao’s background wasn’t high, and Lu Jiang had heard of the rumors about him and the Xiao family, Emperor Yong Ping had always placed Yang Shao in an important position. This wasn’t false.
Because Yang Shao often appeared around Emperor Yong Ping, Lu Jiang had seen him once or twice and was quite satisfied with his appearance and ability.
It was always a dream for a young girl to be in love. She had really taken a fancy to Yang Shao.
At this time, she was happily waiting to get married every night in her dreams. In the end, the ninth princess of Rouran, who could not even speak Chinese fluently, actually jumped out to compete with her because she was so popular in Jiankang City and even the Imperial City with the word Rouran?
Do you want some face?
At that time, he had torn apart with the Ninth Princess of Rouran, and he had directly attacked the Ninth Princess of Rouran.
Princess Lujiang’s combat strength was also on the line. If she was really inferior, she would not be able to fight evenly with the eldest princess of Xuancheng. In terms of martial strength, she was definitely not as good as the eldest princess of Xuancheng. In terms of eloquence, she was much better than the eldest princess of Xuancheng, let alone the ninth princess of Rouran.
Empress Xiao couldn’t stop him.
If not for the palace maids and eunuchs blocking them, the two princesses would have fought on the spot.
The ninth princess of Rouran didn’t want to pry Yang Shao into her hands. He was still a peaceful and friendly person. She asked the same question as Xiao Baoxin, which was, could it be acceptable for two women to serve one husband? Immediately, such news exploded in the public opinion circle of Jiankang City. It could not be stopped and was faster than the wind.
They treated the Ninth Princess of Rouran as if she was a monkey. Xiao Baoxin couldn’t understand why the Ninth Princess loved to share a husband so much. Did she like that husband or just the style of the two women? As for Yang Shao, because of the Ninth Princess of Rouran, he became famous again. For a time, everyone from the eighties to the three-year-old children had heard of his name.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid that it would be too much of an insult to show his gratitude, Zhuge Shu would have personally gone to the Yang Mansion to see Yang Shao and thank him.
He had finally been saved from the swamp of the Ninth Princess of Rouran. It could be said that because of the ninth princess of Rouran, he felt inferior in front of Xie Wan. This time, he was a man of indomitable spirit again and ran to the Xie residence even more frequently.
Xiao Baoxin said to Xie Xian,
“Does he like you? Why did you come to the Xie residence so frequently?” Even if there was an engagement, it wouldn’t happen every two or three days, right?
Of course, he was joking. Although they were engaged, as unmarried men and women, they still couldn’t meet each other. Thus, even when they came to the Xie residence, they only came to look for Xie Xian.
It was as if he was satisfied just by breathing the same air as Xie Wan in the Xie residence.
To be honest, Xiao Baoxin was a little envious.
At that time, although Xie Xian liked her from the bottom of his heart, he had restrained himself again and again. He would always say,’Big lady, please have some self-respect.’ She had spent a lot of effort to seduce Xie Xian. Otherwise, this fellow would have been able to hold it in for the rest of his life.
She was also glad that Xiao Jing ‘ai had been reborn and ruined her marriage with Yang Shao in her previous life.
Otherwise, it was very likely that the two of them would miss each other for the rest of their lives.
She was also glad that she had the golden finger of this innate skill and was able to understand Xie Xian’s intentions.
‘It’s good that Qingqing knows my intentions. Other than Qingqing, I don t like anyone else. Not to mention a rough man like Zhuge Shu.’Xie Xian thought.
In any case, ever since Zhuge Shu came back from the diplomatic mission in Rouran, Xie Xian had never used such flattering words on Zhuge Shu again. He did not know if it was because he was infected by Rouran’s unrestrained personality or if he understood him well enough to know his nature.
He ruined a good word.
