Chapter 369 Mission 035

Xiao Ying sat high in the honorable position, with excellent eyesight, and could see the people attending the banquet clearly.

He also knew about the poetry contest among the men. Seeing that the male protagonist Situ Zhen was dragged into the water by the two villains around him like in the original work, wanting to embarrass him in front of many powerful children, Xiao Ying suddenly spoke: "How can you forget the famous ladies in your poetry contest? Now at the second sister's flower viewing banquet, there is no need to be too rigid about etiquette. Why don't you show your talents together, not just poetry contest."

The men wanted to show themselves in front of the famous ladies, but the women might not want to show themselves. Maybe a woman of low birth was favored by a noble son because of her talent!

Although this world is an ancient society where men are superior to women, the status of women is not very low. It is also possible for a family without children to let their daughters give birth and recruit a son-in-law to set up a female household. The separation of men and women is not very strict.

So Xiao Ying's proposal was not unusual. He brought all the young men and women who attended the banquet together to show their talents and skills, but Situ Zhen, who was just mentioned by everyone, was forgotten.

Who doesn't know that the prince of Qi is a playboy who is unlearned and unskilled? It's just that he was dragged into the water by those two people just now, and someone wanted to see the joke of this prince, so the situation of letting the unlearned playboy participate in the poetry contest appeared.

Now the third princess personally opened her mouth to lead the topic elsewhere. As long as she didn't want to completely make enemies with the prince of Qi, who would take the initiative to bring up this matter that would embarrass the prince again?

So the male protagonist Situ Zhen's chance to shine by chance in the original book was destroyed by Xiao Ying.

However, even so, Situ Zhen still had to say a good word to him and thank him for helping him out.

Situ Zhen came back to his senses from being caught off guard. How could he not know that the two friends of the original owner had bad intentions? He glanced at the two coldly and silently recorded it in his little notebook.

The young men and women who wanted to show off at the flower viewing banquet used various means, which were wonderful, especially there were many dirty things among them, but no one dared to make a scene at the flower viewing banquet hosted by the second princess, and those unlucky people who were calculated could only bear hatred in their hearts.

During this period, a big thing happened. Miss Zhao's dance was so stunning that the third and fourth princes were amazed and liked her.

I don't know how this matter happened, but it happened on the spot. The two princes who were already fighting each other almost fought for a woman at the second princess's flower viewing banquet!

Xiao Yan, who was not interested in the excitement, feasted with those ladies who did not participate in the event. The second princess did not dare to neglect him and accompanied them. I never thought that something would happen in the talent competition.

When the second princess heard that the third prince had actually argued with the fourth prince for Miss Zhao, she was so angry that her face turned blue. She sarcastically said to Xiao Ying: "Third sister, I never thought that your Zhao family would have a foxy girl who specializes in seducing men!"

The Miss Zhao who danced so beautifully was a girl from Concubine Shu's family, and she was also the cousin of the fourth prince Xiao Shengtian's third princess Xiao Han.

Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

This Miss Zhao was the main wife of the male protagonist later, and she was considered the heroine of this world! In the original work, there was no Xiao Ying's proposal, so the heroine naturally did not perform a dance to stun the prince. She was just an ordinary lady in the eyes of others, but in fact she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could sing and dance well.

In the original novel, the heroine was amazed by the poetry of the hero who made a big splash at the flower-viewing banquet, and she developed a good impression of him. She hid her identity and secretly became a pen pal with the hero through poetry and songs, becoming the hero's confidante. She helped the hero a lot in the process of his rise, and even the hero's assistance to the fourth prince was the result of the heroine's help.

Later, after the third princess failed, the heroine officially married the hero. Of course, the heroine also contributed to the fact that the third princess's targeting of the hero was so easily resolved by the hero.

After marrying the hero and becoming the wife of the Duke of Qi, the heroine had extraordinary means. Even if there were countless beauties in the hero's backyard, they were all subdued by her, the legal wife, and no one would dare to show up and cause trouble for the hero.

Xiao Ying thought that the hero married the heroine as his legal wife in order to have a powerful mistress to suppress the concubines, otherwise his backyard would definitely be in trouble.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Ying was only surprised by the unexpected butterfly effect, and then calmly refuted the second princess's words: "Whose Zhao family are you talking about? Second sister, have you even forgotten your last name?"

The second princess's face was extremely gloomy, and she refused to argue with Xiao Ying about her slip of the tongue, and just turned her face and walked towards the third prince.

Xiao Ying also followed him. He was still very curious about what this heroine who could cause the third and fourth princes to fight regardless of the occasion looked like!

However, after meeting her, Xiao Ying was not surprised that Miss Zhao would be the male protagonist's wife, because this Miss Zhao was really too fairy, as if she was a fairy from heaven. She might not be very beautiful, but her temperament of being out of the world and not stained by the world, coupled with the moon-white dress, the whole person seemed to be floating in the air.

She is even more fairy-like than the Concubine Shu in the palace. Her delicate appearance may not be comparable to that of the Concubine Shu, but she is young, and her face full of collagen is so beautiful that how can it compare to that of the Concubine Shu, who is over 30 years old and has worked hard in the palace for many years?

However, Xiao Ying could see at a glance that Miss Zhao had been artificially cultivated. It must be that the Zhao family had tasted the sweetness of the Shufei who was favored by the emperor. Even Emperor Cheng'an, who was not fond of women, favored Shufei, so the Zhao family cultivated the next generation of daughters in the direction of Shufei, and the target was also set on the prince.

If it were normal, Miss Zhao's appearance would not be extremely beautiful, and there was the third princess with a beautiful and stunning appearance. Even if she had an extraordinary temperament, she would only be a little brighter. But that amazing dance made her the focus of the whole audience.

Xiao Ying listened to the second princess's understanding of the situation, and then he knew how the third prince and the fourth prince almost fought.

The heroine can only be said to be the fuse. The real reason is that the two princes are of similar age and have conflicting interests in the court. In addition to maintaining a superficial brotherly relationship, they are basically enemies in private.

Now they both like the same woman, and when they express their affection, they are bumped into by another person. One is the legitimate son of the empress, and the other is the beloved son of the concubine. Both are proud and neither of them is willing to bow their heads and withdraw. Rather than saying that they are fighting for a woman, it is better to say that they are fighting for their pride.

So they can't stop fighting in the end, and they almost fight, and the matter becomes a big deal.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Ying glanced at Miss Zhao, who was stared at by the second princess's fierce eyes, and smiled with a faint but weak and pitiful look. She suddenly said: "Second sister, there is a little conflict between the third brother and the fourth brother. Why make a fuss?"

The second princess originally wanted to attack Miss Zhao, but after hearing what Xiao Ying said, she felt that her brother's reputation was more important, so she gritted her teeth and temporarily let go of that vixen.

Although the dispute between the third prince and the fourth prince at the flower viewing banquet has been known to everyone, few people really know that the cause of the dispute between the two was Miss Zhao, and these people know what to say and what not to say.

So in the end, the situation was still under control.

After knowing this, Emperor Cheng'an in the palace asked Xiao Yan: "How do you think Han'er should deal with it?"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly: "Why not let them copy some books and calm down."

Emperor Cheng'an said without comment: "What about the girl from the Zhao family?"

Xiao Yan paused for a moment before saying: "Let her be my fourth sister-in-law!"

His decision was actually to test Emperor Cheng'an, because he found that although Emperor Cheng'an admired his talent in politics, he did not seem to think about the possibility of making him the heir, but wanted him to assist the next emperor.

And the fourth prince Xiao Shengtian was born from the same mother as him, and there was nothing wrong with his performance in the past two years, so Emperor Cheng'an considered making Xiao Shengtian the heir.

If Emperor Cheng'an really intended to make Xiao Shengtian the crown prince, then he would never let the girl from the Zhao family be Xiao Shengtian's principal wife, because the Zhao family was Xiao Shengtian's mother's family. If Xiao Shengtian became the crown prince, with the Shufei in front and the Crown Princess in the back, the Zhao family was powerful and it was inevitable that there would be troubles from foreign relatives.

Therefore, Xiao Yan made this suggestion specifically to test Emperor Cheng'an.

Emperor Cheng'an was silent for a while, neither saying yes nor no, but just changing the subject lightly.

Later, Xiao Yan heard that the third and fourth princes were punished by Emperor Cheng'an to copy books, but he seemed to have forgotten about the Zhao family's girl and did not do anything, which made the Zhao family nervous for many days.

Shufei specifically asked Xiao Yan to find out what Emperor Cheng'an meant.

Xiao Ying just perfunctorily said: "Since the emperor has not expressed anything, then there is nothing to worry about! Let my aunt teach my cousin well, and if that doesn't work, let my fourth brother marry her!"

Shu Fei's face sank: "What are you talking about! If you hadn't proposed that day to let the girls in the boudoir perform their talents together, how could this happen?"

Shu Fei didn't want her son to marry her niece as his principal wife, wasting an opportunity to win over aristocratic families. Because the Zhao family was not powerful, it was all thanks to Shu Fei that they gradually rose. With the family background of the Zhao family, it was actually a bit reluctant for the Zhao family's legitimate daughter to be the prince's principal wife. Shu Fei planned to let her niece be a concubine for her son, and the position of principal wife should be kept as a bargaining chip to marry a big family.

Xiao Ying didn't have the heart to care about Shu Fei's calculations. He was a little annoyed by Emperor Cheng'an's delay in expressing his position. In addition, the news came from the forces outside the palace that the action to prevent Situ Zhen from developing power failed due to various accidents, which made him even more annoyed.
