Prince Jing went to the Chen family for a banquet, and took a little beauty with him when he returned home...

The news quickly spread among Prince Jing's Mansion and Lai Yiwei's aristocratic families.

Qiu Xi and Chong Jiu, who stayed in the mansion to take care of the little master but did not go with them, were somewhat disbelieving when they heard about it.

——How did their Highness manage to bring back a beauty?I heard that the little beauty is a boy younger than Deng Song!

The ancients have said that first get married and then start a career. Prince Jing has already reached the crown, and to a certain extent, is in the process of establishing a career, but he was not married when he left Beijing, which made many people associate it.

The crown prince is in a stable position now, but he only has one eldest son, and he himself has been seriously injured several times, so I don't know if it will hinder his heir.

Prince Jing, who has awakened his martial arts, was originally the prince's closest brother, but looking at it from another perspective, Prince Jing is currently the only prince who can pose a threat to the prince.

Whether it is the emperor or Prince Jing's own attitude is very obvious, no matter whether it is taking the overall situation into consideration or making compromises, it seems that this noble prince has no intention of marrying a regular wife.

In order to prevent the prince guarding the border from being deeply connected with the local nobles, the prince's concubine can only be the daughter of a noble family in Tianjing, and the emperor bestows marriage on her.

Now that Prince Jing has arrived in the fief, his marriage is still in the hands of His Majesty Jingzhong, and it may also be in the hands of the prince. Prince Jing himself has nothing to say.

Under such circumstances, no one would dare to fight for the position of side concubine, not to mention the position of the prince's main concubine.

But not arguing about this doesn't mean they won't find ways to make other arrangements.

The strongest wind in this world is the pillow wind. You can't ask Prince Jing to marry your own daughter, but having one or two servants is harmless and can achieve the same purpose. It is a shortcut to maintain a friendly relationship with Prince Jing.

Giving gifts to the palace for no reason is eye-catching, let alone giving it to someone, but if at a banquet, a certain beauty is taken away by Prince Jing himself, it will be much more natural.

So Prince Jing brought a person back from the Chen family, not only did not surprise them, but also made some people's minds alive.

They are afraid that Prince Jing has no hobbies. Once they know the other party's preferences, of course they will try their best to please him.

Of course, even showing courtesy in this way is actually somewhat particular.

If sending a woman away accidentally causes Prince Jing to have an heir, not only will it not be a happy event, but it may touch a certain nobleman in Tianjing and cause a catastrophe.

So Prince Jing took away a young man at this moment, causing many people to worry about it - at least His Royal Highness did not reject Nanfeng.

Little did they know how they were thinking about giving away, and Prince Jing was also thinking about how to accept him at the moment.

"The aristocratic families of Laiyiwei are married to each other, and the relationship between them is intricate. Even the Chen family who had a quarrel with the Yao family at the beginning, doesn't it still have a woman with the surname Yao?"

Qi Jing explained the intention of his move: "Prince Feng is strong and arrogant, which leads to the close connection between the gentry, otherwise it will not be enough to resist the pressure from the Lord of the East. Now that Gu has arrived at Laiyiwei, he has to break it. This pattern."

Prince Feng is the son of the first emperor, and he is famous for his bravery and skill in battle.Even if he is the emperor, he may not really submit to him, let alone the aristocratic family here.

For more than [-] years in the eastern region, he has always been self-respecting. He thinks that the people in Laiyi Peninsula can live well because he can restrain the monsters from Shaohai, so he never puts his family in his eyes.

Sometimes, in order to make the people of Laiyi Peninsula obedient, he would even intentionally let go of demons to disturb the environment, in order to threaten people and tell them to be obedient.

Is profit important, or survival important?This choice is generally available to everyone.

Although the local wealthy family is quite afraid of Prince Feng, they can only bow their heads to him on the surface.

It is not enough to rely on one's own strength to protect the tribe on Prince Feng's territory, so these 20 years are also the best time for the relationship between the nobles in the Laiyi Peninsula.

Even the Yao family has its own camp, so they are qualified to stand up and seek advice from Prince Feng.

If the aristocratic families are too harmonious, it is naturally good for them to form a joint force.But for Qi Jing, it is a big hidden danger.

Once Qi Jing's future decision touches their interests, he will be mobbed and attacked, and he will become very passive.

So from now on, Qi Jing wants to create an image that is more talkative than Prince Feng. On the one hand, he wants to confuse the aristocratic family and make them think that the new Lord of the Eastern Realm is not as strong as Prince Feng. On the one hand, it is also to take this opportunity to break down one by one, gradually disintegrating the tight alliance between them.

Just like Concubine Yao Gui and Concubine Fang Shu back then, they were originally sisters who were deeply affectionate and very close, but once the common enemy fell, it was impossible to confide in each other for their own interests.

Prince Feng is the strongest, no one dares to defy him, Qi Jing doesn't want to go this way, he wants to overcome him with softness.

Since we want to break the alliance of the gentry, we can't treat everyone equally, and we must have a sense of proportion and plan, otherwise we will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but may also make the situation more chaotic and tense.

In the Laiyi Peninsula, the Chen family is an aristocratic family that can sit on an equal footing with the Yao family, and they can still retain their strength when Prince Feng is in charge of the Eastern Territory, which shows their extraordinary ability.

After the collapse of Prince Feng and the Yao family, the prestige of the Chen family in the Laiyi Peninsula is naturally even greater than before. This is why Qi Jing's first banquet was chosen at the Chen family.

It's definitely not a wise move for Prince Jing to show alienation from the Chen family when he first arrived, so for now, he should get close to and appease the Chen family.

Qi Jing did not refuse the Chen family's hospitality, and even pushed the boat to accept the Chen family's people, all doing it on the surface to let outsiders see that he was close to the Chen family.

As for whether they can keep their relationship so close in the future, it still depends on "fate".

Rong Guan understood what Qi Jing meant, and said, "So, if there are other families who offer beauties in this way in the future, His Highness may not accept it?" The riding captain on the side.

"Of course! With so much expenses in the mansion, it's not appropriate to support so many people!" When someone was speaking, he also glanced at his riding captain.

What Prince Jing said was obviously not in line with the actual situation. After all, with the financial resources of the palace, let alone one or two beauties, even beauties in their [-]s can support them.

Rong Guan ignored Qi Jing's eagerness to express his opinion, and hurriedly said to his highness: "Then my subordinates will arrange Xue Zhao in Xiyuan first."

Xue Zhao is the handsome boy Qi Jing brought back from the Chen family, and Xiyuan is the furthest away from the main courtyard.

Although this little beauty is not a great Buddha, she still has to make an offering, but there is still a difference in where she offers it.

Originally, Rong Changshi thought that His Highness would agree immediately, but Qi Jing thought about it and said: "Don't put it so far away, let's arrange it in Listening Lan Pavilion for the time being."

Although he had planned this for a long time, he didn't intend to express his intimacy in this way at the first banquet.

But after seeing Xue Zhao, he immediately changed his mind, not only took him back to the mansion, but also treated him well.

——Tinglan Pavilion is a courtyard near the lake, not far from His Highness's main courtyard!

Rong Guan was shocked when he heard the words, and he couldn't guess His Highness's deep meaning: "This... This Xue Zhao is from the Chen family. Before finding out his identity and background, do we have to observe for a while?"

Rong Guan felt that His Royal Highness was definitely not a womanizer... well, probably not a womanizer in the traditional sense.

His Highness just likes to look at and admire beauties, and never does anything to bully men and women.

——After all, there is already a great beauty with astonishing force in their house, His Highness should have a wicked heart and not the guts... Bah bah, it's just a scoop of three thousand for weak water!

Qi Jing didn't understand Chang Shi's devious thoughts, he said nonchalantly: "Of course the identity needs to be checked, but don't worry, there is nothing wrong with the child himself."

……

Xiaoshi was disappointed when he heard that his brother had returned and only brought back one person instead of some novel food.

Especially when he heard that Qi Jing didn't come back directly, but went to the study to discuss matters, he was a little depressed.

But when Qi Jing returned to the inner courtyard, the ceremony of warmly welcoming his brother home still had to be done in full. He ran over, hugged his leg, and then entered the house together holding his little hand... The whole set of movements was extremely smooth, It looks like it has been done countless times.

The little prince looked at Brother Shaoxuan who was expressionless, and shrugged his little shoulders—I don't know if it's just meow's illusion, but it feels a bit cool in summer?

Thinking about the palace banquets he had participated in, the little guy thought: Brother Shaoxuan probably didn't eat enough when he went out, and lost his temper, it's really pitiful.

Qi Jing entered the room, first asked Qiu Xi: "Where is Miss Xue?"

Qiu Xi also secretly glanced at Shaoxuan, and replied, "It must be over there in the warehouse."

Qi Jing nodded and lowered her voice: "I have something to tell you first, don't tell Ms. Xue for now."

Qiu Xi didn't understand why the whole house was thinking about the little beauty brought back by His Highness, but His Highness suddenly had something to hide from Ms. Xue.

"The child who was brought back from Chen's house today has the look of a female officer Xue on his eyebrows. There are all kinds of wonders in the world, and there may be some origins."

Lady Xue and Ruo Li were both begged by Qi Jing from Wensi Hall with great difficulty.

In the early years, she wanted to go to the Yellow Coast to find news about her relatives, but unfortunately, she found no good people. She thought that instead of dying alone, it would be better to stay with the Seventh Prince, so that she would have a place to live when she gets older.

These years, Ruoli took care of Xiao Shiyi in the main courtyard, while Lady Xue and Chang Shi Rongguan managed the entire palace for Qi Jing inside and out, and won Qi Jing's trust. All the maids in the main courtyard were taught by her personally The one who came out never asked Qi Jing to bother.

Qiu Xi didn't want to leave Qi Jing, thinking in her heart that she would stay in Prince Jing's mansion for the rest of her life just like Miss Xue, so she recognized Xue Qin as her foster mother earlier, and now she heard her Highness say so, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

She understood what His Highness meant, if there was no certainty about this matter, if not, she might disappoint Ms. Xue.

After telling Qiu Xi well, Qi Jing could finally sit down and have a sip of tea. Xiao Shishi sat beside him with Xiao Chiyu in his arms, his eyes flickering: "Is it Miss Xue's child?"

"It's not her child, but it might be a relative," Qi Jing put down the teacup, "I'd rather make a mistake than let it go."

He thought for a while, and then specifically said to Xiao Shiyi: "When you see this child in two days, if you find that he is different from others, do you remember what brother said? Do you want to pretend you didn't see it?"

When seeing Huang Yangchun and Master Hong Chou, Qi Jing told Xiao Shiyi this way, and the little guy is already very proficient.

He nodded, suddenly thought of something, and jumped onto Qi Jing's lap with Xiao Chiyu, and asked curiously, "What kind of cutie is it?"

Qi Jing smiled mysteriously: "It's just a little cutie."
