Chapter 261 The Xiangjiang River is turbulent (Part 2)
Hengzhou, governor's office.
Different from the wailing of hundreds of officials in the Central Plains, the Governor's Mansion at this time can be described as full of joy and laughter, there are countless people drinking and beauties, the lights are brightly lit, and it is a lively scene.
"Li Langjun, you have a good capacity for drinking..."
"Brother Zhang, I heard a few days ago that you have fallen in love with a certain lady from a brothel. You have good taste..."
Zhang Shaoxiong shuttled among the crowd, toasting with wine, chatting and laughing from time to time. He was a handsome young man, and he was admired and envied without even realizing it.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is also blind. Brother Zhang is a talented and personable man. He is a truly good man in this world. He is a perfect match for Princess Ying'er, but he actually broke the contract..."
"Although Lingnan is remote, he is the master of a country after all. Faced with such a choice, His Highness will inevitably be inclined!"
"Having said that, Mr. Zhang is the pillar of our Chu Kingdom, and he is no worse than the Lord of Lingnan. Zhang Langjun is also a talented person, matching Princess Ying'er..."
Those beautiful maids didn't take it seriously at all, and walked in, pouring wine and serving dishes, showing their good tutoring.
As the wine reached its peak, everyone lost their previous restraint and started gushing loudly. They also looked down upon the leader of the country.
People tend to be tolerant of such young people, smile indifferently, and continue drinking.
But Zhang Shaoxiong, who had been toasting politely, stopped, his mouth was full of bitterness, and he said: "Everyone, I have great ambitions and shallow knowledge, and I am not worthy of the princess, so I have asked to terminate the engagement. I hope you will not misunderstand me! I have offended you.
It’s not good to be in trouble.”
Hearing his words like this, many guests sympathized with him even more and toasted to express their sympathy for him. The guests talked louder and had less scruples.
Several hours later, it was already midnight, the lights in the living room had burned out, and the guests had dispersed, leaving a mess on the floor.
"Have everyone left?" Zhang Wenbiao, who had never shown up during the banquet, walked out and asked softly.
"Yes, my father is gone!" Zhang Shaoxiong said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if the engagement is broken, you are less bound, and we have some unexpected gains!"
Zhang Wenbiao patted his son on the shoulder and said with a look of relief: "You have done very well. Women are like clothes. As long as we conquer the country, there will be as many such women as possible. If you give up a woman to contribute to our country, that's right."
It couldn’t be a better fit.”
"I understand, kid!" Zhang Shaoxiong nodded, but the hatred for seizing his wife in his heart was dimmed in the corners of his eyes, but how could it be easily wiped out? He would definitely repay the shame Zhou Xingfeng put on him a hundredfold.
"Hahahaha, old thief Zhou actually wants to move the capital to Langzhou. It seems that something is wrong with his health. My son has made a great contribution!"
"Zhou Xingfeng must have relapsed from an old injury. In order to let his youngest son sit on the throne, he and his father took extra precautions. Changsha Mansion is too close to Hengzhou, and Langzhou is his base camp, which is most suitable for them and their father!"
"Hehe, as long as the news that his old injury has relapsed and that he will die soon is spread, even if Langzhou is as solid as a rock and the young master is in power, people will naturally be panicked and the rock will soften. That's our chance!"
Zhang Wenbiao said quite proudly: "As a father, I have accumulated some prestige over the years. Even if my official position is lowered, my prestige cannot be suppressed easily. I still know some people in the Guards. When the time comes, I will raise my arms and say, hehe...
"
"Father, as long as Zhou Xingfeng leaves Changsha Prefecture, Hengzhou and Changsha Prefecture are just a stone's throw away, and he will naturally be under our command. Changsha Prefecture is rich in resources and treasures, and it is the foundation of a king!"
"And Hengzhou is under our control. When the time comes, we will hold the land of the two states and capture Chu. It will be easy to capture it!"
The father and son were immersed in such a wonderful fantasy and couldn't extricate themselves. Thinking of the proud place, they showed sinister smiles. The passing maid holding a lantern was also frightened and shivered.
Lingnan, Panyu, the villa where the Princess of Chu stayed temporarily.
Zhou Ying'er, who has always been familiar with scriptures, came to Panyu and stayed in the other courtyard without leaving the door before the wedding day. Not only did she not feel uncomfortable, but she was very happy to stay in the room.
, reading those books that I brought all these miles away, I feel quite happy and unwilling to miss my childhood.
When the emperor saw this, he realized that he was going to marry a home girl, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked. But the home girl is good, doesn't cause trouble, has self-awareness, and is clean and tidy, so he sent several carts of books from the palace, which can be regarded as his fiancé's
A little thought.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and Zhou Ying'er, the future queen of the Tang Dynasty, lay facelessly on a deck chair in the yard, lying on her side, reading her favorite book.
I heard that this chair was made by the emperor. Not to mention, it is very comfortable to lie down and read.
Her soft body was pressed against the bamboo chair, her buttocks were slightly convex, and her two-day long thighs were unconsciously intertwined. Under the blue silk clothes, her graceful figure was clearly revealed.
"Humph, my dear Lady Ying'er, the wedding day is coming soon. I have been busy outside and haven't even eaten a bite of the meal, but you are so lazy. You don't have the style of a Chu princess!"
Baoer, who has a hot figure, rushed to the other courtyard out of breath. When she saw the princess in such an appearance, she couldn't help suppressing Yushan who was jumping up and down. She pursed her red lips and slapped her buttocks. She suddenly thought of the shock and waves of flesh.
, complained.
"As long as Sister Bao'er is here, I have nothing to worry about!" Holding Bao'er's arm, Zhou Ying'er put down the book, her face flushed with dependence.
"There's really nothing we can do about you!" She pressed her forehead lovingly, and then Sister Baoer took out a letter, "Here, this is the news from Changsha Mansion, go and take a look!"
"Okay!" Zhou Ying'er opened the envelope obediently and read it carefully. As time went by, her smile gradually disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Sister Baoer asked quickly.
"My uncle has moved the capital to Langzhou. He also warned me to get married to the Lord of Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, and even hinted that I would help protect him when the time comes!" Although she was adopted as an adopted daughter, Zhou Yinger could not change her words for a while.
"This, this..." Sister Bao'er's expression also changed, and the meaning was self-evident.
"When we came, His Highness was still in good health..."
"Unfortunately, I heard my father say that when my uncle was in the army, he suffered many hidden injuries on his body, but he never thought that it would happen so quickly!"
Zhou Ying'er clutched the letter tightly, feeling a little absent-minded. She could think that if her uncle passed away, the prosperity and wealth of their Zhou family would become a shadow. She was so young that she might not even be able to protect her life.
The two looked at each other, their beautiful eyes full of panic.
"Madam, the emperor has sent someone here!" A maid came over and said.
"Let him in!" Bao'er calmed down and said in a deep voice.
"I have seen my lady!" A young eunuch saluted with a clear voice.
"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?" Zhou Ying'er forced herself to calm down and said.
Chapter completed!
