"Who else could it be? The Crown Prince of Prince Liang." The lady in yellow chuckled. She glanced at her fellow cabin mate who was in a daze and lowered her voice. "In the past, I only heard that His Royal Highness was arrogant in Beiliang. Now that I've seen it, I truly believe it. If it was our prince who went to Beiliang, would he dare to be so arrogant in front of Xu Zhu Guo's descendants? "
"No way. Our King of Jing An can't compare to the King of Beiliang. Now the King of Beiliang is going to the capital to meet the Emperor. I heard from my father that he is going to ask His Royal Highness for an official robe. The other vassal kings don't even have a chance to enter the capital. That Xu Zhu Guo is more powerful. " The lady with the oval-shaped face laughed. "I heard that the King of Beiliang dotes on the women he fancies very much. Spending a lot of money to buy a smile is an understatement. When my second sister married to Beiliang, she sent me a letter saying that all the women in Liangzhou would be proud to be brought back to the palace by His Royal Highness. Look at Wei Chongzi, who only knows how to destroy flowers, we really can't compare."
"Can the King of Beiliang really be hereditary?" The lady with small feet asked in surprise. Who said that a woman's virtue was if she had no talent? If she wanted to marry into a good family of equal social status, she would not be able to take care of her husband and children if she did not have talent. Even if the wives and concubines in the noble families fought, she would suffer. There was once a Yanzhi Vice Commentator who talked about the women of the world. She said that the women of Northern Liang could rein in horses, the women of Eastern Yue were graceful and talented, the women of Western Chu were loyal, and the women of Qing Zhou were the most attractive. This was not without reason. Qingzhou women could always gain a foothold in their husband's family after marrying out of the country. They could hold the position of the first wife and make the concubines suffer. Of course, this was inseparable from the power of the Green Party. The women of Qingzhou always had a naturally keen sense of the intrigues of the imperial court and the deceit of the Jianghu. The aristocratic families of other provinces who had ambitions for their official career naturally liked to marry a Qingzhou daughter-in-law to manage the household.
"It's hard to say. According to common sense, the imperial court is unwilling to admit that Beiliang can be overthrown. Otherwise, why does the Law of Vassal Clans only mention that the King of Beiliang can be overthrown, but not the King of Beiliang with a different surname? Isn't it because they are worried that Beiliang is the Beiliang of the Pillar State and not the Beiliang of the dynasty? "
The oval-faced socialite whose second sister was married to Beiliang was very passionate about the secrets of Beiliang's military and political affairs. This was considered a secret conversation in the boudoir. Whoever leaked it out would be breaking the rules of Qingzhou and would be seen as a traitor, implicating the entire family. She was not worried about this and could speak without restraint. She rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window, quietly waiting for the battle to heat up. "In the imperial court, Grand Secretary Zhang, General Gu Jiantang, and especially that group of people who hate the Pillar State to the extreme. They are led by a loyal old minister of West Chu, Sun Xiji. This old Grand Preceptor originally wanted to die, but when he thought about the fact that the Pillar State still stands, he took up the position of an official. He clearly said that he only wanted to see the King of Beiliang's miserable end with his own eyes. As for our Qingzhou ancestors and the King of Jing An, hehe, I don't need to say more. Would they look on helplessly as the Beiliang was passed down for generations? "
"Yanzi, then tell us about the Beiliang and His Royal Highness. You know a lot about this matter." The voluptuous young lady curiously asked her oval-faced close friend with a face full of expectation. She was the most excited among the group of orioles and swallows. When she saw Hsu Fengnian break an arrow with a blade, she would have cheered loudly if her companions hadn't held her back. In the past, because of her family and the culture of Qingzhou, she snorted disdainfully at the Pillar State and the infamous Beiliang heir. Today, she saw with her own eyes His Highness standing proudly at the bow of the ship. She was completely bewitched. She only felt that she should marry Hsu Fengnian. The more domineering the children of Qingzhou were and the more she saw the insufferably arrogant children of Qingzhou, the more she felt that the Beiliang heir was superior. He even dared to provoke the heir of a vassal state, Zhao Xun, and threatened to beat the King of Jing An until he couldn't recognize him. Wasn't that guy with the surname Xu and the name Fengnian enough heroic spirit?!
"All the men of Beiliang are scolding him, especially the group of young masters who would be considered insects in Qingzhou. They are even more reverent and jealous to the point that their teeth itch. Among the women, there are half praise and half blame. My second sister once saw the actions of the Beiliang heir from afar and felt that it was quite interesting. Second Brother-in-law often quarreled with my sister about this matter, saying that my sister was possessed by a ghost. Do you know what ruthless words my second sister said to shut Brother-in-law's mouth? "She kept them in suspense and smiled brightly. Among the women of Qingzhou, she was famous for being witty and eccentric. Since she was young, she was very good at teasing Wei Wei and the others.
"What did she say?" The group of young ladies asked in unison.
"My second sister said, 'Husband, if you quarrel with me about this matter again, be careful that the next time I do boudoir, I will call His Royal Highness'." She was the first to hold her belly and laugh.
These words were really ruthless.
The other women were also stunned at first, and then they all laughed until tears came out.
They could leisurely and carefreely talk about boudoir and the ups and downs of being an official at the same time, but Wei Wei's group of young masters who were strung together by a thread had serious expressions.
Earlier, when they wanted to use the baton pole to smash the boat, it was because they felt that the opponent was not important enough and treated it as a gathering on the lake to liven things up. Now, as long as they were not idiots, they could guess the identity of the opponent. It was the standard Beiliang blade that had once led a trend throughout the dynasty! That sentence of a battle to the death that shook one's soul! Wei Wei considered himself as the son of a noble family in Qingzhou and was proud of himself. He made a mistake and staked everything on one throw, and made another mistake after another. He ordered the Yellow Dragon ship to baton the pole to resist the enemy. He even dared to humiliate the daughter of an imperial censor in the capital to death, so he did not mind being absurd one more time. Did he really think that Wei Wei was an idiot in the bureaucracy?
Regardless of the result of this battle, as long as he did not kill the heir of Beiliang, Wei Wei's reputation of defeating the Beiliang army would be spread all over the country. Even the imperial palace would hear a thing or two about it. Who would not give a thumbs up and praise Wei Wei for being loyal and righteous even though he did not study? That year, his father was implicated by him and was unable to command the giant ship Crimson Banner. His father had been regretting it all these years. Today's feat might be able to smoothly push his father, Dragon King Wei, to the highest position in Qingzhou!
That white-robed heir of Beiliang with a blade was undoubtedly the best stepping stone!
Different from the boorish Wei Wei, the heir of the noble family had a deeper thought and his face was gloomy.
That person in the imperial palace had always liked to see the vassal kings fighting openly and secretly, otherwise there would not be the imperial clan law that two kings could not meet. This time, instead of saying that the fight with Hsu Fengnian was a grudge between the two heirs, it might as well be seen as the continuation of the fight between his father and Xu Rentu, two enemies for twenty years. His father had been seeking Taoism and Buddhism for so many years. He vaguely remembered that when his father went to Mount Longhu to request for imperial edicts, he was rejected several times. His Majesty even did not care about his face and severely criticized his father. One of his younger brothers was even demoted to a commoner and sent to the inner circle of the high walls of Fengyang with sixty people. If it were not for the good words of a concubine from Qingzhou in the imperial palace, forget about going to Mount Longhu to burn incense, even his future as a hereditary prince would be a problem.
Today's battle on the water, regardless of victory or defeat, what would happen to him and his father? His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts were profound. Since he ascended the throne, he was the best at balancing vassal kings and regions, civil officials and military generals, and parties and parties. He really did not have the confidence to guess the emperor's thoughts.
Should he take advantage of the situation and behead Hsu Fengnian?
As this shocking thought flashed through his mind, the heir of the King of Jing An finally lowered his head and drank a mouthful of wine to hide the strange expression on his face.
