The Favorite of the Court of Joy

When the group returned, the mansion was preparing for a dinner.Yes, to entertain Princess Xichu's arrival, a table of delicious food and wine was set up.Zhao Minghan also came back earlier than yesterday, which made Zhang Xiaoqian feel that he valued this princess very much, and felt sour. Could it be that what Yu Wenyu said was true?Zhao Minghan wants to marry her as his concubine?

Steward Wu came to Yimei Garden and said to Zhang Xiaoqian: "My concubine, my lord invites you to the dinner."

"No, tell the prince that I'm tired." Zhang Xiaoqian didn't want to see Yu Wenyu.

Wan Zi persuaded him, saying: "Go and see, otherwise Yu Wenyu thinks you are afraid. Besides, you can also see how the prince treats her."

Zhang Xiaoqian thought for a while and said, "That's right, then I'll go and see what tricks she wants to play."

Zhang Xiaoqian followed Butler Wu to the banquet hall, and saw that Zhao Minghan and Yu Wenyu had already taken their seats. The wine table was a common round table, and there was no distinction between the main seats. Yu Wenyu was sitting next to Zhao Minghan.

"My lord, I'm here." Zhang Xiaoqian said, "My lord, I don't want to be blown by the wind. Your seat is just right, and I want to sit in your seat."

"Okay, come here."

Zhao Minghan's approval made Zhang Xiaoqian smile and Yu Wenyu frowned slightly.

Then, Zhao Minghan introduced this time, saying: "Xiaoqian, this is the princess of Xichu..."

Zhang Xiaoqian interrupted him and said: "My lord, there is no need to introduce, we met in the afternoon."

"Oh, yes." Zhao Minghan was a little surprised, Zhao Minghan said, and then said to Yu Wenyu, "Xiaoqian is the concubine of the mansion, he can make decisions about the affairs of the mansion, if you have any shortages, you can tell him."

Then he talked to Zhang Xiaoqian again: "Yu'er is as forthright as you, you must be able to chat. What did you talk about?"

The word "Yu'er" made Zhang Xiaoqian secretly angry, but he still replied with a smile: "I just chatted for a few words. As for whether we can talk, I don't know what Princess Xichu thinks. After all, she is a guest. You can’t talk about everything.” Zhang Xiaoqian emphasized that she was a guest, and the words between them already made people aware that they did not “communicate friendly”.Zhao Minghan thought about asking the dark guard what happened between them later.

Yu Wenyu smiled instead of anger, and said: "Although I and Concubine Zhang just had a few words, I think we had a good chat. After all, we all know you, my lord, and you are our common topic."

"Talking about me? What about me?" Zhao Minghan was very curious.

"It's nothing." Zhang Xiaoqian and Yu Wenyu said at the same time.

Zhao Minghan felt something unusual, changed the subject, and said, "Come, come, let's eat."

Zhao Minghan personally served Zhang Xiaoqian with food, all of which he likes to eat, Zhang Xiaoqian smiled at him and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Seeing this, Yu Wenyu deliberately said: "My lord, I can't get the food over there, can you help me get it?"

Without waiting for Zhao Minghan's answer, Zhang Xiaoqian stood up and put the food into Yu Wenyu's bowl.Originally Zhang Xiaoqian wanted to say: If you can't get it, I'll help you get it.But after thinking about it, why should he let him serve her? At the same time, he didn't want Zhao Minghan to bring him food, so Yu said: "Princess, put the food in your bowl and it's ready to eat. What else do you want? If the food on this side , you want them all, I’ll ask Steward Wu to prepare another copy and put it somewhere within your reach.”

"Thank you Concubine Zhang, but I suddenly don't want to eat this dish anymore, it's not to my liking." Yu Wenyu put the bowl aside in disgust.

Zhang Xiaoqian complained in her heart that she wasted food—shameful. "Little Orange."

"The servant is here."

"Pour out the bowl of food that Her Royal Highness won't eat to the dog."

"Yes, my concubine."

Zhao Minghan was snickering, which made Yu Wenyu feel insulted, and he couldn't feed the dog if he didn't want anything. "Wait, Concubine Zhang. Although I won't eat, it doesn't mean that you can dispose of this bowl of food as you like. I originally wanted to reward my maid."

"Oh, that's fine. Xiao Cheng gives them the bowl."

Zhao Minghan snickered again.

But when Xiaocheng gave the bowl of food to Yu Wenyu's maid, Yu Wenyu felt that something was wrong again. Zhang Xiaoqian wanted to give something to the dog, but she gave it to her maid again, comparing her maid to a dog. Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?And her maid waited for the reward and couldn't wait to finish eating those dishes.Yu Wenyu could only smoke the bad breath alive.

Zhao Minghan felt that his little slave's move was really good, and it was wrong to ask Yu Wenyu to do anything, but the visitor was a guest, and Yu Wenyu couldn't be prevented from coming to the stage.He changed the subject and said, "Yu'er, you've been having a good time these days. I didn't lie to you. My Dongyue country is rich in products and prosperous."

"Yeah, everything is fine in Dongyue Kingdom. I'm very glad that my father sent me here to marry me." Yu Wenyu said while looking at Zhao Minghan.

"That's good." Then Zhao Minghan turned his head and asked Zhang Xiaoqian: "How is today, is the child making a fuss?"

Zhang Xiaoqian thought of Yu Wenyu insisting on hugging his son again. "It's good. I just cried once. But I was coaxed."

"Did you cry from hunger? Could it be that the wet nurse didn't take good care of you?"

"No." Zhang Xiaoqian glanced at Yu Wenyu, and then said to Zhao Minghan, "I met the princess when I went for a walk in the afternoon. The princess wanted to hug him, but Yun Chong refused to let her hug him. The princess grabbed him hard, and Yun Chong cried."

"Huh? Why is this happening?" Zhao Minghan looked at Yu Wenyu strangely.

Yu Wenyu concealed her embarrassment with a smile, and said, "Maybe I haven't given birth yet, and my body doesn't smell like milk, so the child doesn't want me to hold her."

"Oh I got it."

"But I don't think so, and I don't smell like milk either," Zhang Xiaoqian said. "My lord, I think Yun Chong doesn't like the princess, that's why he refuses to let her hug her."

"Oh, why?" Zhao Minghan asked.

"I don't know why the princess said that she wanted to marry the prince as his concubine, and she wanted to raise Yun Chong under her knees. Probably Yun Chong refused because she didn't want to recognize her as a mother."

"You're talking nonsense, obviously at that time..."

Zhang Xiaoqian immediately retorted at her and said, "Why am I talking nonsense, so many people were listening at that time, should I be called out to confront her?"

Yu Wenyu originally wanted to say that she was the one who was rejected first, and then she said the words about raising the child under her knees.But at this moment, Zhao Minghan's attention was all on Zhang Xiaoqian's saying that Yu Wenyu was going to marry him, and he didn't want to pay attention to what she said clearly.

Zhao Minghan asked: "Yu'er, why did you say that?" Zhao Minghan treated Yu Wenyu like a niece.I met Yu Wenyu during the War of Resistance in the Northern Territory. He admired her intelligence and courage. She is a rare heroine.

"I...I..." Yu Wenyu stood up suddenly, and said bravely: "Zhao Minghan, I like you, and I want to marry you. I have fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you. Marriage is I mentioned it to Emperor Father myself, I came all the way to Dongyue Kingdom to marry you, and I have already told you Emperor Dongyue about my thoughts."

After Yu Wenyu said so much in one breath, she thought that even if Zhao Minghan couldn't accept it for a while, he should be moved.

However, Zhao Minghan said: "But this king doesn't want to marry you."

Where Zhao Minghan couldn't see, Zhang Xiaoqian showed a triumphant smile, but he admired the spirit of brave confession.

"Why? Why didn't you accept me? What's wrong with me?" Yu Wenyu was very sad, pointing to Zhang Xiaoqian and said: "How much better is he than me? I heard that Prince Rui deviated from the old ways for a favorite, and made this favorite immediately As a side concubine, is it possible that you still want to promote him to be a concubine? How many people will make fun of you."

Zhao Minghan's eyes gradually turned cold, but Yu Wenyu didn't notice it.

"It's not your turn to intervene in this king's affairs."

"But... but... I have already told the emperor of your Dongyue Kingdom, and the two countries are married, and my dowry is three cities. Your Dongyue Emperor will definitely agree."

Zhang Xiaoqian, who was on the side, opened his mouth wide in surprise, and sighed in his heart that Yu Wenyu was so crazy about love that he was going to send him to the city. Aren't he afraid of being scolded by the people of Western Chu for betraying the country?

"Then the king told you that the emperor would not agree. Even if he agreed, the matter would not be done if the king did not nod." Zhao Minghan knew his nephew very well, and the method of using marriage in exchange for benefits is the most shameful.

"No, I won't give up just now." Yu Wenyu held back tears and ran out.

Zhang Xiaoqian suddenly felt that he didn't hate her so much, but deeply admired her courage.

"My lord, look at you, you made the girls cry."

"Isn't this the scene you want to see?" Zhao Minghan asked him back.

"I... I just want to see what your attitude is towards her marrying you as a princess.

"Then you saw it, are you satisfied?"

"Hehehe, satisfied." Zhang Xiaoqian was satisfied that he rejected Yu Wenyu, but...

"My lord, when do you plan to marry the concubine? Who will you marry?"

"What's the matter, let's talk about this again. Who will this king marry as his concubine? This king knows exactly what to do."

"You have to tell me in advance, so that I can experience what it's like to be thrown into limbo first."

Zhao Minghan felt that what he said was harsh, obviously looking for trouble for nothing.He pulled him into his arms and said, "Don't worry, even if I have other women or favorites, I assure you that you are the most important in my heart and in the entire palace."

In other words, Zhao Minghan's main concubine might be someone other than him, and he will have multiple concubines in the future, and will have children with many women or favorites.For this cognition, Zhang Xiaoqian was very disappointed.

"My lord, do you love me?" Zhang Xiaoqian held his baton in both hands and met his eyes.

"Isn't this king loving you enough?" Zhao Minghan felt that he couldn't tell whether he loved you or not, but he was sure that so far, Zhang Xiaoqian was the only person he cared about in his heart.

"I'm asking about love, not petting." Zhang Xiaoqian showed a sad face, and continued, "Love can be given to many people, but love can only be given to one person. Do you love me? If you love me, please don't have other People, just me, okay?"
