Beiyuan and Changxi Prince's Mansion are not together, but not far apart, there is a street paved with bluestone in the middle. In front of the shop opposite the street, two young men hugged their chests with their hands, and stood leisurely on tiptoe. In front of the two young men, one old man was the old man who sent Xiaoshuang back a few days ago. The young man was about twenty years old, with a long sword on his back, with a expressionless face and a cold look on his eyes. It seemed that the passers-by had nothing to do with the servants at the entrance of Beiyuan.

Xiaoshuang walked out slowly, stood at the door and looked at Old Man Gu, while Huang Shangze followed him out quickly and glanced around.

The street is not big, and occasionally pedestrians and peddlers jumped on their loads and passed by the door. At the end of the street, several servants stood and looked here from time to time. At the entrance of a grocery store next to these servants, two carriages were parked.

"Miss Xiaoshuang..." Old Man Gu greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Grandpa Gu, do you always have something to ask me for?" Xiaoshuang asked in a raised voice.

Xiao Shuang called Grandpa Gu and screamed Old Man Gu so embarrassedly. Old Man Gu's face turned red and white. After a long time of confusion, he finally recovered.

"Miss Xiaoshuang, I'm here to pick you up. Look, I've brought the carriage." Old Man Gu pointed to the distance and added: "I've been here for two days, but the guards of the royal palace don't let me in at all. These guys who don't know Mount Tai!"

"Oh, I don't know why Grandpa Gu came to me?" Xiao Shuang continued to ask, but her eyes swept to Huang Shang, who was still covering her head tightly.

"Cough... Cough..., Miss Xiaoshuang is joking. Didn't you ask me knowingly?" Old Man Gu coughed awkwardly and cleared his throat.

"What are you two doing while standing there? Why don't you help Miss Xiaoshuang get on the carriage?" Old Man Gu shouted at the two young men humming the little song in anger.

The two of them walked over quickly, and Xiaoshuang flashed and hid behind Huang Shang.

The two servants at the entrance of Beiyuan saw the matter clearly and hurriedly ran down to stop the two young men.

"Wait, uh... Miss Xiaoshuang, what's going on?" asked the servant.

"..." Xiaoshuang chose to remain silent.

"What's the origin of this old man? I came here two days ago and shouted to ask for someone, saying that you are his person. What does it mean? Are you not from our royal palace? Are you not from the prince's person? When did you become his person again?"

"Don't worry, get out of here! If you don't let me do it anymore!" Old Man Gu finally waited until Xiao Shuang appeared, but he would not return empty-handed again!

"Master, please see clearly. This is Changxi Prince's Mansion!" The servant pointed to the sign of Beiyuan, warning of something in his words.

"I know this is the Changxi Prince's Mansion, and I haven't entered your Prince's Mansion. Which royal law did I violate? Isn't it still going to do it?" Old Man Gu roared loudly.

Two men surrounded each other from left to right, reached out and grabbed Xiaoshuang's arm and pulled it out.

"Who dares to do something again?" The head of the guard suddenly walked out of the gate, pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and looked around at the man pressing Xiaoshuang's arms.

"Although this is not the territory of the royal palace, she is from the royal palace and our prince. If you want to take people, you have to take people. What evidence do you have?" The guard leader said majesticly.

"Don't talk about you, even if the Wanzhou Prefecture Office is coming to my palace to get people, no one can think of it without the ancestors! Not to mention Miss Xiaoshuang!"

The head of the guards said that Old Man Gu turned around. He signaled the two of them to let go of Xiaoshuang, reached out to take out a contract from their arms and handed it over.

"What's the matter? A contract for selling your body?!!! I said Miss Xiaoshuang..., what's going on?" The head of the guard asked Xiaoshuang with the contract.

"I...I...I...I don't know!" Xiaoshuang quickly regained the cowardly answer beside Huang Shang.

"I can take the person away, sir!" Old Man Gu began to show off again.

"No!" The head of the guard flatly refused: "You took away the man, whom should I look for when the prince asked us for someone? I will protect him. I will send someone to ask the prince for advice. We dare not make any decisions about such things!"

The guards sent in came back soon and muttered a few words in the ear of the guard leader.

"Uh... My prince said that he is not convenient for the time being, so I'll let you come back another day!"

"Puchi!" Xiaoshuang almost laughed out loud, and Huang Shang couldn't help laughing.

However, Huang Shang quite admired the mind of the guard leader. He could come up with such a way to delay and throw the blame to the prince who did not exist at all.

He did not say that the prince was not here, nor did he allow Old Man Gu to take the person away. Anyway, he had no responsibility to control himself!

"Let's go!" Xiaoshuang pulled Huang Shang's sleeve in disappointment and said.

"Can't leave!" Old Man Gu rushed forward in an anxious manner and grabbed Xiaoshuang.

"Uh... I said, sir, before this matter was over, Miss Xiaoshuang was still the prince's member of my family. You have no right to stop her and ask her to buy things for the prince. If I miss my prince's affairs, I don't care who you are." The head of the guard threw the contract back to Old Man Gu, quickly stepped forward and blocked between Old Man Gu and Xiaoshuang, and reached out to press his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Old Man Gu held the contract in his hand and looked at Xiaoshuang and Huang Shang who were leaving without permission. He winked at the man with a sword on his back. The man nodded slightly and followed quickly.

Not long after Xiaoshuang and Huang Shang left, a few taels of carriages slowly drove over from the end of the street under the escort of the royal palace guards and stopped at the door of Beiyuan.

The ancestors first walked out of the carriage, and the man who got off the second carriage had a white hair, white beard, white eyebrows and white beard. Behind him was a young girl with straight breasts and charming appearance, but very cold. The girl had a straight waist and a tall chest, and her hair was scattered on the back of her neck like a waterfall, which was completely different from the common hair tie on this continent.

"Duke Ningguo asked!" The ancestor politely led the way and made a gesture to the white-bearded old man.

Duke Ning just nodded slightly and returned the greeting, then walked into the door, while the girl followed closely behind.

"A few days ago, my Cong'er was in bed with a little cold and cold. Although he had been well-treated by the doctor, his body was no longer bad, but..." the ancestor explained.

"It's not a problem!" Duke Ning Guo raised his foot and was about to enter the Beiyuan gate when Old Man Gu suddenly stepped forward and bent down to salute.

"Duke!"

"Hey, Gu Shicai? How are you here?" Duke Ning turned around and saw Old Man Gu, with a look of surprise on his face.

"I..., I went to the west to transport some goods and was about to go back to Beijing. I stay here for some time. I didn't expect to meet you here!" Gu Shicai nodded and said.

"Uh... Since I met him in a foreign land, if my ancestors have no objection, can I ask Gu Da Qianzhu to go in with me?" Duke Ning turned his head and asked his ancestors.

"Gu Da Qian, please!" The ancestor made a gesture of inviting him without hesitation for a moment.

There is a reason why our ancestors gave face to Duke Ning Guo.

The Duke of Ningguo, whose original surname is Yao and whose name is Wen Zhong, is a person from Huizhou City, where the Yongning King's Mansion in the northern part of Huatian Kingdom was originally a rural gentry in Huizhou City and part-time job as a master of Huizhou City. He is not considered a person within the system.

As a master, you need to be active in your mind, be familiar with the worldly affairs of the officialdom, be eloquent, and change your mind with the wind. This master is the magic weapon for him to deal with the great officials and nobles. Yao Wenzhong has these abilities.

But about ten years ago, after the birth of the granddaughter of Ningguo Duke Yao Feier, somehow, when he was working in Beijing, he met Zhu Shizhen, the King of Changxi who was already injured and sick at that time. At that time, the King of Changxi had just led his troops to fight with Lu, and his reputation was at its peak. Ningguo Duke expressed his willingness to marry his granddaughter Yao Feier to Zhu Yuncong, who was less than two years old at the time and had not been sent to Lu as a hostage...

Originally, Zhu Shizhen didn't want to do it. After all, his son was still young, and with such a marriage between him and Yao Wenzhong, his seniority was a generation shorter than Yao Wenzhong.

This is not the most important thing. The key thing is that your son is the prince and he is still worried about not being able to find a wife?

But Zhu Shizhen agreed.

Because Yao Wenzhong has the tradition of becoming in-laws with the royal family, his daughter is the Princess of Yongning (the Prince of Yongning has several princesses). Although Zhu Shizhen knew Yao Wenzhong's wishful thinking, that is, cast nets everywhere, invest everywhere, and throw all the women in his family into the prince's house as much as possible. However, Zhu Shizhen knew that he was seriously ill and his son was less than two years old. He was worried that one day he would be too weak after kicking his legs, so he needed to work with other royal family to consolidate his power.

Looking at the four princes of Huatian Kingdom, Zhu Shiqiu in the south is obviously the most inappropriate candidate. The older generation of these two princes has no choice but to deal with each other, and the princes in the east are obviously not able to relieve their near thirst. The Yongning King in the north is the most suitable. Not only have they always had good friends with the Changxi Palace, but they also have some bordering parts of each other's fiefs.

These are all the old calendars of adulthood, so Huang Shang naturally didn't know these, but his ancestors knew them very well.

Later, the situation became clear. Yao Wenzhong was able to rise to the top with his own tongue and secretly support (at least no one secretly did anything bad). He is now among the three imperial court officials, and his power is even above the Changxi Palace, and he has real power. Although he does not have military power, all the military power of Huatian Kingdom is firmly controlled by Huangdi. As for the military structure and system of Huatian Kingdom, I will not mention it here for now.

The form is very bad. It turned out that Yao Wenzhong was clamoring to marry the Changxi Prince's Mansion. Now the form has changed and the balance has tilted towards the Duke of Ningguo.

The ancestor naturally knew this, so he did not dare to be careless about the arrival of the Duke of Ning this time. Although the Duke of Ning was here to pay tribute to the King of the West and had other border issues, the main purpose of the Duke of Ning this time was to showdown.

Of course, it is the marriage card for Yao Feier and Zhu Yuncong.
