Chapter 191 Long-legged Lovers
What a fuss!
Before entering the palace, Sun Shaozong mentioned that Prince Zhongshun was not picky about meat or vegetables, and told Liu Xianglian to stay as far away from him as possible. However, who knew that he and his cheap elder brother were the ones who really walked into the trap!
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
The cheap brother was so shocked that he was speechless and didn't know what to say for a long time. All his superb acting skills just now were thrown away to Java.
Sun Shaozong gritted his teeth, stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the document clearly states that she is betrothed to me. Not to mention that this matter has not been finalized, even if the girl from the Jia family has entered my Sun family, there is no reason to sell my wife who I married in a formal ceremony to someone else!"
When Prince Zhongshun heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He leaned forward slightly, stared at Sun Shaozu fiercely, and asked word by word, "Are you really not going to sell it?"
"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant, your humble servant..."
The cheap elder brother was known for his rough and unruly manner, but under the threat of Prince Zhongshun, his legs trembled, and he slid down the chair to the ground like a noodle, and with a plop, he said with his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, this...this matter must not...must not..."
Although his physique was not strong enough, he still had some backbone in his heart.
"Hahaha……"
But before he could utter the last part of the word "wanwan", he heard King Zhongshun slap his thigh and laugh, "I was just joking with you, look how scared you are!"
"It's not an insult to Jia She's concubine to be a maidservant for the master - but she is still the cousin of Consort Xian De after all. If I don't want to see the monk's face, I have to see the Buddha's face, right?"
Your sister's joke!
It would be fine if someone else said this, but when you, a ridiculous prince who has always been lawless, say such things, who would dare to take it as a joke? !
Sun Shaozong and Sun Shaozu were cursing in their hearts , but on the surface they could only force a smile and cooperate, praising him against their will: "The prince is really funny, very funny!"
Prince Zhongshun laughed again and said, "Besides, I don't want such a delicate beauty from the Jia family."
That's because you like delicate men!
Sun Shaozong was complaining in his heart when he suddenly saw Prince Zhongshun lean forward and said with a stern look in his eyes, "It's the young lady from the Wei family who is quite to my taste - especially those two long legs, which, wrapped around your waist, can at least take half your life away!"
"What a pity, Shui Rong got the advantage!"
As he said this, he spat into the fruit plate beside him. Immediately, a maid took it away and replaced it with a new one.
At first, Sun Shaozong was wondering who this young lady from the Wei family was. But when he heard the word "Shui Rong", he realized that he was referring to the princess of Prince Beijing!
As the head of the meritorious nobles, Prince Beijing Shui Rong's status was far above that of the Rongguo Mansion. It would have been fine for Prince Zhongshun to make up a few remarks, but how dare the two brothers respond?
They could only watch with their eyes and noses, and let Prince Zhongshun use obscene words to rape the Princess of Wei, and at the same time, he also belittled Prince Beijing Shui Rong, making him sound like the reincarnation of Wu Dalang.
It involved some secrets, and the two brothers who just listened were on pins and needles.
Fortunately, Prince Zhongshun lost interest in his lewd fantasies soon after, stopped talking about obscene things, and got back to the point, saying, "Okay, I've agreed to be your matchmaker. I'll send someone to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow. Do you two have anything else to report?"
It’s finally done!
According to my cheap brother's opinion, we should say goodbye and leave immediately to prevent King Zhongshun from causing any more trouble.
But Sun Shaozong had promised Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian after all, so he said cautiously: "Your Highness, I heard that the opera troupe in your mansion is very famous. My brother bought a group of maids a few days ago, and there are a few with good voices among them. I thought about setting up a troupe to entertain myself, but I have never been able to figure it out."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and said, "I wonder if I could ask the expert from the prince's mansion to come to my house and give me some advice?"
"Why, your family is also going to set up a troupe?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhongshun suddenly regained his spirits and straightened his spine. Immediately, a maid brought two more cotton pads so that he could sit up comfortably.
He was heard to boast non-stop, "Let's not talk about other things. As for this family-run opera troupe, if I were to rank it second, no one in the world would dare to claim to be first!"
"Especially Qi Guan, who was trained by my master himself. During the Wanshou Festival , I let him perform a few shows, which immediately caused a sensation in this city. In more than half a month, the number of visiting cards asking to see him piled up like a mountain!"
"Lao Jiu said the other day that he wanted to buy him for 50,000 taels of silver, but I kicked him out!"
It seems that the treatment of this celebrity nowadays is similar to that of idol stars in later generations - both are sought after by thousands of people and are playthings in the hands of the powerful.
Seeing that he took the initiative to mention the official Jiang Yuhan, Sun Shaozong immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "In this case, I wonder if you could ask the official to come to my house and give me some advice?"
Prince Zhongshun stared at him for a long while, then suddenly laughed and said, "If it were anyone else, I really wouldn't give him this face, but since you asked - someone, call Qi Guan over here!"
This ridiculous prince seems to treat himself very differently from others.
Isn't that different?!
Think about your obsession with long legs...
Sun Shaozong felt a chill down his spine, and quickly bowed to avoid the sight of Prince He Zhongshun, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You don't need to thank me. I have done the job assigned by His Majesty, which is better than anything else!" Prince Zhongshun waved his hand nonchalantly, and then asked, "I heard that Qiu Ying sent his son to your criminal justice department?"
Sun Shaozong himself had just learned about this, but he had already...
Could it be that this ridiculous prince has been paying attention to me for a long time? !
Sun Shaozong's hair stood on end, but he even forgot to reply.
Fortunately, Prince Zhongshun did not point at him in reply, but laughed to himself, "You must train that kid well. If you can really make him more capable, you might get a great job in the future!"
Tempering Qiu Yunfei? A great job?
What the hell is going on!
But from what I hear, it shouldn't be that kind of job...
While they were talking, a charming and gentle young man rushed in from outside. Without even greeting the King Zhongshun, he asked in a hurry, "Who is Lord Sun Shaozong?"
This should be Jiang Yuhan, right?
But what did he mean by asking me so urgently?
Sun Shaozong was suspicious in his heart, but he smiled generously and said, "I am Sun Shaozong. May I ask if you are Mr. Jiang?"
“Ouch~!”
Jiang Yuhan exclaimed, looked Sun Shaozong up and down, and then smiled and said, "Sir Sun is indeed a real man! To be honest, I was planning to rehearse a play called "Sun Gong's Case" based on Sir Sun's experience, but who knew that Sir Sun would come to my house by chance!"
