Chapter 116 Retribution (continued)

The palace of Luling King Xiao Ying, the front hall, held a beautiful porcelain pen holder and looked at it carefully, and couldn't let it go.

Next to him, Hu Wei, who was waiting, took out beautiful ceramic plates and placed them on sandalwood plate racks to form beautiful ornaments.

These porcelain plates are actually plates, but they have beautiful patterns on them, such as flowers, birds, fish and insects, landscapes, etc.

Hu Wei saluted to King Luling: "Please look at it, this is the latest ceramic plate ornament made in Xin'an, Poyang, Raozhou. Each one is a beautiful painting."

After seeing him, Xiao Ying lit up his eyes, put down the pen holder in his hand, walked to him, and looked at him carefully.

Hu Wei introduced the new porcelain to Xiao Ying, and said that each porcelain plate was in the sky and there was no on the ground. Xiao Ying looked at the beautiful porcelain plate and nodded with joy:

"well!"

"This is a gift from Caomin to the king. If the king likes it, Caomin will bring more porcelain plates ornaments in the future."

Xiao Ying asked: "Does the porcelain plate you brought next time need money?"

This question is embarrassing and stupid. Hu Wei smiled and said, "King, such a small matter, there is no need to worry about the king. The concubine will arrange it."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Ying said with a smile, picking up a porcelain plate and rubbing it carefully.

Seeing that he was immersed in the air, Hu Wei did not disturb him. He caught a glance at a middle-aged man next to him and then claimed his guilt to Xiao Ying and followed the man outside.

The man was the butler and asked Hu Wei: "Shopkeeper Hu, is the porcelain he brought today really a gift?"

Hu Wei nodded: "How dare you talk nonsense in front of the king?"

"Okay, the royal family has decided to take this deal."

Hu Wei was very aware: "Where is the concubine, please give me a few good words from Brother Wu, I will thank you very much."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

The two laughed. Hu Wei wanted to give it "meaning" but it was not convenient to give it here. However, Hu Wei is famous for keeping his promises, so there is no problem with this "cooperation".

Hu Wei looked at the Luling King in the hall whose behavior was obviously inconsistent with his age and sighed in his heart: Is this retribution?

King Xiao Ying of Luling was the second son of King Xiao Xu of Luling. His legitimate brother Xiao Ping was executed for committing a serious crime that year, so it was Xiao Ying's turn to be the prince.

Xiao Ying's father Xiao Xu was posthumously named "Wei" after his death in the Taiqing year. The prince Xiao Ying inherited the title of King Luling.

Xiao Ying had some problems with his mind. A man in his thirties had his words and demeanors about the same as a child of seven or eight years old. It is said that after he inherited the title, when he saw Jin Ying piled up in the treasury in the royal palace, he asked him, "Can you eat this?"

After answering "No", Xiao Ying waved his hand and said, "Then I will give you all."

If it weren't for the fact that the left and right people knew the importance and the concubine was in charge of it, most of these gold elves would have dispersed at that time.

It is also thanks to the great concubine who manages the royal family and manages the royal family's property and income and expenditure. In recent years, the countless wealth that King Wei of Luling has plundered has been preserved.

Even so, Xiao Ying, the King of Luling, who had a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, still became a prey pursued by wealthy merchants. He tried every means to use various clothing to play objects and exchange the golden golden elves from this fool's hand.

Now, the imperial concubine is still in charge of the royal family. When the imperial concubine leaves, the luxurious princess Xiahou will be the leader of the family and will definitely squander most of the wealth of the husband's family.

Hu Wei thought maliciously: If King Wei of Luling, Xiao Xuquan, had any knowledge, and had seen that he had worked hard to plunder most of his life's wealth and was spent so much of his prodigal son, he would probably be so angry that he would come back to life.

He heard people's discussions that King Wei of Luling had such a son to inherit the family business, which was pure retribution.

King Wei of Luling, Xiao Xu, was the fifth son of Emperor Gaozu (Xiao Yan), and the prince of Zhaoming (Xiao Tong), and the late emperor (Xiao Gang) was the same mother brother.

Xiao Xu was good at riding and shooting, and was extremely capable. He was greedy and lustful in daily life and accumulated wealth. He didn't know how many good women had harmed.

His eldest son Xiao Ping was even more powerful because he was protected by his father and acted unscrupulously, so he committed a serious crime and lost his life.

What specific serious crime did Xiao Ping commit and end up being executed?

Outsiders don’t know, but considering that Emperor Gaozu has always been lenient and doting on the royal family, he rarely punishes the children of the royal family seriously. I think what Xiao Ping committed is indeed a grudge against heaven and man.

It is probably because the announcement is harmful to the court and the royal family, and even the officials dare not say it clearly.

Perhaps it was because he did too many bad things, so although King Wei of Luling, Xiao Xu, had a large number of wives and concubines and piled up gold, silver and jewelry, he had few sons.

The second son of the legitimate son was a fool, but he inherited the king's name and was obviously unable to defend the family business. Hu Wei felt that this person who was reincarnated as his son was to disperse ill-gotten wealth.

Xiao Ying looked at the porcelain plate, and Hu Wei was accompanying him. After a while, the princess Xiahou returned to the mansion and came to the front hall.

Hu Wei watched coldly, and indeed, from the princess's eyes looking at King Luling, she saw a hint of contempt.

The princess was born in the Xiahou clan of Qiao County, which was the Xiahou clan of the founding minister Xiahou Xiang. The son of Xiahou Kui and Xiahou Dan brothers were all in charge of Hefei and Shouyang, Huainan.

However, the young and beautiful lady Xiahou, who had a good background, married a foolish and ignorant family member, would not be happy if anyone else would be.

In contrast, the sister of Princess Xiahou married well, at least to a normal person.

When Xiahou saw Xiao Ying smiling at the porcelain plates, he found that these porcelain plates were quite beautiful, and he was also interested. Hu Wei hurried forward to introduce them.

The Xiahou family recognized Hu Wei, a merchant who often came to the royal palace recently, and also knew that Hu Wei was the shopkeeper who managed the industry for Xinping Gong and was able to get good and precious porcelain from Poyang, Raozhou.

These precious porcelains include bowls, plates, pots, cups, and various ornaments. In Jiankang, there is a shortage of supply. Xiahou also likes the porcelain of Xinping in Poyang, and his tone to Hu Wei is obviously much softer.

Seeing that the princess was interested, Hu Wei quickly took out the other "sample" he brought and introduced the new "product" of Poyang Xinping Porcelain to the princess.

After all, there is a difference between high and low, so he cannot get close to the princess too much, but Hu Wei has a very good sense of smell and still smells a different scent from the fragrance emitted by the other party.

That is, the fragrance of the sachet worn by the target person.

This situation can only happen if the two people are entangled, hugged each other without bathing and cleaning, which will be contaminated with the fragrance of incense on each other's body.

Paying attention to the whereabouts of Xiahou, the princess of Luling, is a special task that Hu Wei is currently going to perform. Now he doesn’t need to go back and ask his subordinates about the results of the tracking today, and he knows in his mind:

Sure enough, you went out today and had an affair with that person again!

The truth is getting closer and closer, Hu Wei holds down the excitement and continues to introduce the porcelain.

......

In the afternoon, Hanshan, the private part, Wang, with a blue face, sat alone in the study room, holding a knife in his hand.

The knife is thin and sharp. As a cutting knife, such as cutting paper or opening an envelope, the cold light emitted by the blade makes Wang's eyes reflect the coldness.

Since the death of the late emperor and the death of the crown prince, Princess Liyang has mourned her for her deceased father for a year. She occasionally goes to the temple to burn incense and pray for her father and brother.

Just now, Princess Liyang went out again and went to Hanshan Temple to burn incense.

It was nothing, it was reasonable, but recently, the princess's whereabouts were somewhat abnormal. Every time she went out, she seemed to do other things besides burning incense.

Wang? It was only after listening to the servant's secret report that he realized that the princess's whereabouts were inappropriate, but there was no evidence, so it was hard to say anything.

So he asked the servant to observe secretly and follow the princess secretly once she traveled.

After following me several times, I gradually confirmed that the princess's trip was not simply to go to Hanshan Temple to burn incense, pray for her father and brother, and stayed in the temple, as if she had met someone.

This extra meeting was secretly hidden from the king?

Wang? After careful consideration, Princess Liyang has no relatives and friends in Hanshan, and there is no life or noble lady worthy of contact.

The wife with a higher status in the city is Huang, the wife of Xinping Duke Li Li. However, Li Li and his wife were born in a slightly cold manner, so Princess Liyang had no need to date her.

So, who did Princess Liyang meet in private?

Princess Liyang is as beautiful as a flower, born in a royal family, has an elegant temperament and outstanding talent. Wang? I thought of a possibility: the princess has an affair with others.

But I can't believe the princess would do this.

Wang? I think he is handsome, elegant, healthy, and has a very literary talent. He is from the Wang family of Langya and is very good to the princess. Why do the princesses want...

Logically, the princess shouldn't have done that kind of thing, but there was something wrong with his wife's whereabouts, so he couldn't help but think about it.

A servant came hurriedly and the king who was waiting for the news quickly asked, "Who is it? Who went to the backyard of Hanshan Temple first?"

The servant was ordered to follow him and came back to report at this moment, but he ran out of breath and said unscrupulously: "Yes, yes..."

"Who is it?"

"The little one is not ten, and it's enough to be sure. Princess, the princess hasn't arrived at Hanshan Temple yet, but Li, the envoy, is Xinping Gong, who is already wearing casual clothes and entering the backyard."

Wang? Hearing this, he almost jumped up from his bed: "What!!"

The Duke went to Hanshan Temple, and the Xinping Duke Li Li hid his head and exposed his tail, so he went to the backyard of the temple first?

That means...

Wang? I just felt my head buzzing and blank.

How is it possible? How is it possible?

Li Li was born in a slightly cold and had no literary talent. Although he was indeed tall, he had an average appearance and dark skin. How could he compare to me!

Such a vulgar martial artist, you actually had an affair with him!!

Still during mourning for the father!

Wang? I found it unbelievable. If the servant hadn't confirmed that Li Li had already traveled in confinement and arrived at the backyard of Hanshan Temple first, he really wanted to use this news as a joke.

Why does the princess fall in love with Li Li? Why!

But he thought about it and remembered something.

Xinping Duke Li Li once presented the piano and seemed to be good at playing the piano. Several piano music in Xinping Duke's Mansion were heard. Princess Liyang liked it very much.

He also contacted Mrs. Xinping and sent musicians to learn piano music. After learning it, he came back to teach her.

Later it was said that Duke Xinping had new works one after another, and Princess Liyang sent musicians to Duke Xinping's Mansion to study.

Perhaps, it is because of piano music that the princess found the so-called soulmate?

Wang? He felt angry that his beautiful wife actually had an affair with others in the name of mourning. He was a vulgar martial artist with a humble background.

I was mourned for a year and did not go to a room with my husband, but I secretly had an affair with others!

well!
