When Shu'er saw that these twelve beauties all had spring-like faces and light make-up, and they were not wearing white clothes in honor of the King of Shu, she knew that the King of Chu must be very fond of them. She didn't know where these twelve ladies from the Three Gongs and Jiuqings' families came from.

He didn't know what he meant, so he said politely: "Sisters, you don't need to see me outside, please follow me into the palace to have tea." I couldn't help but think of Lin Yingshi's previous instructions: "If someone goes earlier than me, just deal with it perfunctorily."

In the Xinlan Hall, Shu'er sat on the throne, and Yan Xiao sat beside him. After the twelve beauties bowed to Shu'er, they also took their seats one by one. Yan Qing and Yan Xiu immediately served tea and snacks.

Shu'er said gently to everyone: "I have heard for a long time that His Highness loves you sisters very much, but I still don't know your sisters' maiden names. I finally got to see you today. I hope you can give me some advice."

Fan Na, the granddaughter of the prime minister, was the first to say: "We sisters have also heard of Princess Dongfang, the king of Anyi County, for a long time. Unfortunately, we have never been lucky enough to see Princess Dongfang. We came here in a hurry today. I hope the princess will not be offended. My sister's surname is Fan.

, the nickname is ‘Na’.”

Shu'er said: "Sister Fan is too polite."

At this time, Gu Yu, the daughter of Gu Yanda, the commander of the imperial army, interjected: "How come Sister Fan only calls King Anyi the princess? The prince is the prince. Although you are the granddaughter of the prime minister's family, you cannot lack the courtesy.

"

Fan Na said displeasedly: "Sister, please don't accuse me unjustly. I called her 'Princess Dongfang, Princess of Anyi County' at the beginning, but I said that long string in every sentence. Don't you think it's hard to speak?"

Jiang Wan, the granddaughter of Da Sikong, glanced at the absent-minded Shu'er and said with a smile: "Why do the two sisters lose face in front of the King of Anyi for such a trivial matter? It is right to call the county king, and it is also right to call the princess."

Ruan Qing, the legitimate daughter of the Grand Sima Ruan Xiao's family, immediately said: "Sister Jiang is absolutely right. Sister Fan, Sister Gu, and King Anyi are so informal and generous. How could they argue with us over such a trivial matter?"

Tang Chan, a girl from the Zongzheng family, echoed: "Princess Dongfang is indeed a hero among women who does not stick to trivial matters! My sister heard that Princess Dongfang traveled around the world, served as the princess of Song, Qi, and Chu, and led the troops of Qi and Chu..."

Before Tang Chan finished speaking, Ruan Qing interrupted in a low voice: "She is also married to the king of two countries!"

Everyone was surprised and looked at Ruan Qing.

Shu'er was not angry and said calmly: "What this sister said is actually not accurate. Although I have a close relationship with the King of Qi and the King of Song, I have never married either of them. When I paid homage to the King of Qi, he

Still not the King of Qi. As for the King of Song and I, we have never paid homage to him."

Everyone saw that Princess Dongfang didn't mind the offensive words, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ruan Qing thought to herself: "This Dongfang Shu lost her reputation after losing her husband. She returned to the Chu Kingdom in despair and was already burdened with infamy. After the death of the late king, her younger brother Gongzi Sui almost competed with His Highness for the position of King of Chu.

The siblings in the family may appear to be comforting on the surface, but they must be very fearful in their hearts.

Since Dongfang Shu dares to return to Zhaohuang Palace, her father will definitely persuade His Highness to take back the military power in her hands at the court meeting today. By then, she will have nothing. Even if His Highness does not immediately issue an order to take back her military power, our soldiers will be worse than

She has many soldiers. If I offend her a few times, it's just a weak point. What can she do to me?

In the Chu Palace, she is just an unpopular princess from the previous dynasty. Your Highness loves me and relies on the power of my family. Even if I offend her, Your Highness will not do anything to me. I won’t give her a favor at this time.

How long will it take for you to show off your power?"

Ruan Qing said: "Sister Shicai was rude and said the wrong thing. I hope Princess Dongfang can forgive me. My family is a martial artist, and my sister has not learned many rules since she was a child. My ancestors accompanied King Zhao to conquer the Yue Kingdom. After Chu and Yue were unified, King Zhao personally The Ruan family in Liancheng was granted the hereditary position of Duke, ranking among the three Dukes. After my grandfather passed away, my father inherited the position of Grand Sima. My sister's surname is Ruan, and her nickname is 'Qing'."

Shu'er smiled calmly and said: "As far as I know, the unification of Chu and Yue did not involve bloody battles. It was the will of the people. How could there be any talk of crusade?"

A hundred years ago, Yue and Wang Yufu took a small boat and went to Zhaohuang Palace in Linjiang City alone, and handed his sword to King Zhao of Chu. From then on, there was only one country of Chu on the bank of the East China Sea, and there was no war. King Zhao of Chu also treated Yue kindly. King He and King Yue even lived longer than King Zhao of Chu. When he was buried in the tomb of King Yue in Yuling, he was already a hundred years old.

I would like to ask Sister Ruan, is your ancestor’s ‘military merit’ earned by building a tomb for Yue He Wang Yu Fu?”

Ruan Qing snorted and said displeasedly: "It happened hundreds of years ago. Princess Dongfang seems to have seen it with her own eyes."

Shu'er said: "It's true that I haven't seen it with my own eyes, just like I haven't seen with my own eyes what sister Ruan's skills are, who claims to be a martial artist. If you can't even defeat me, your Ruan family ranks among the centuries-old hereditary ministers of the three princes. Isn't it true that you have occupied a pit among the three nobles and nine ministers in vain? If you are sorry for your "martial arts background", you must learn the rules carefully to avoid misfortune from speaking out and offending His Highness without even knowing it. "

Ruan Qing raised her eyebrows and said: "Princess Dongfang is pregnant with the flesh and blood of King Song. Sister, I dare not hurt you, otherwise I will offend King Song, and our Chu country cannot afford it. I will not accept your provocation, and I will not be a member of the Chu country. sinner."

Shu'er didn't bother to fight her. Although he knew that Ruan Qing had the upper hand in both words and deeds, he didn't argue with her. What's more, what Ruan Qing said loudly was exactly what Shu'er wanted to tell everyone in Chu State. .Ruan Qing said it out, and Shu'er was secretly thanking this girl who spoke freely and bullied others.

As soon as Ruan Qing said this, no one in the Chu Kingdom dared to harm Shu'er or her unborn child.

Before Shu'er could answer, Gu Yu said to Ruan Qing: "Princess Dongfang has been the lord of the ten sects and eight sects of Xiling for a long time. Before the Allied Forces of the Four Nations invaded the Song Dynasty, Qi Wei and Chen Shu competed at the Qingshi Terrace of Yilan Palace to select generals. Princess As soon as she took action, she won the position of the left forward general of the Qi State, and rescued the Chen Shu allied forces from an ambush in the Song State in the southern suburbs of Yudu. When the princess led the troops to aid Zhao, she rescued the King of Zhao in Wucheng from the scimitar of the Rong tribe warriors, which everyone knew .

With the princess's skills, there is no need to use any provoking method to provoke you. She doesn't want to hurt you by not competing with you. Don't be ignorant. If you want to show off your fancy fists and legs, you might as well try to compete with me. "

Ruan Qing stood up, gave Gu Yu a scrawled martial arts salute, and said, "I've heard for a long time that Mr. Gu is very skilled, but I don't know what the ladies of the Gu family are like."

Gu Yu did not return the greeting, strode up to Ruan Qing, and made a "please" gesture.

When the two of them glared at each other, King Chu was stepping into the Xinlan Palace. Lin Ying clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I came just in time!"

Fan Na frowned and said, "If Your Highness doesn't arrive in time, the two sisters will fight!"

Lin Ying blinked at Fan Na, then walked between Ruan Qing and Gu Yu, took Ruan Qing's hand with one hand, and Gu Yu's hand with the other, and clenched their hands into small fists. She hit him on the chest and said with a smile: "A-Qing, A-Yu, you two are so naughty! Everything is my fault. If you want to hit me, just hit me. Why hit my darling, my dear?" I don’t know martial arts, and even if I could, I would never fight back. I’m just standing here, who of you will fight first?”
