Prince Regent's Concubine

The first banquet that Ling Qing went to was the Flower Appreciation Banquet of the Marquis of Anning. Unlike the courtiers, the Marquis of Anning was the son-in-law of the Eldest Princess, and being a Marquis was also a way for his younger sister to be honored by the former emperor. The Marquis of Anning had no real power. Even those who have been suppressed by the queen mother these years have never even been to the court. The whole family lives in the mansion all day and rarely goes out to socialize, and their lives are very aggrieved.

Princess Dachang and the first emperor are not of the same mother, but the first emperor loves his name, and he likes people to say that he treats his brothers and sisters well. He wants to prove that the royal family has family ties, so when he was in power, he gave each princess a son-in-law. A title without real power.

It's just that many people were on the wrong side when the prince was fighting for power, and they were all dealt with by the queen mother.

Now the few remaining houses were either chosen to stand on the side of the little emperor, or they were in the wrong place like the Anning Hou Mansion, but they had a little self-preservation ability and were not killed, but they were suppressed miserably and could only shrink back. at home.

Now that the little emperor is in power, although the queen mother is the little emperor's biological mother, and the two sides are on the same side, anyone who knows a little about the queen mother will know that she has big hearts.

So the Anninghou Mansion also thought about it, and wanted to follow the path of the little emperor, trying to make this Anninghou Mansion worthy of its name.

"They want military power?" Ling Qingshi was a little surprised when he heard Bai Xue's words.

"Although Da Chu looks at An Ning, the prince said that Hu Di in the north has been recuperating for many years and may start a war with Da Chu at any time. And Da Yu in the south is also eyeing Da Chu. Palace, the Marquis of An Ning invites the battle to make military exploits, and then as long as the Great Chu is still there, the Marquis of Ning’s mansion will be safe for a hundred years."

The aristocratic family has means. He was born in the Marquis of Anning's aristocratic family. Although he can't have real power as a son-in-law, he can benefit his family, and even if he is not good enough, he will still have his son. After all, as long as he is given the opportunity, the future will be better than the present.

Ling Qingshi really didn't expect that the Anning Hou Mansion had such a big heart, or he underestimated everyone's ambitions.

"Marquis An Ning is good at fighting?" Ling Qingshi asked.

Bai Xue shook her head: "I have never been to the battlefield, but I am from a noble family, both civil and military, and I am familiar with military books. It is precisely because I was admitted to the martial arts champion that year that I was selected as the prince's son-in-law."

That's really a pity for a talented person, and these emperors also want to marry the princess well without letting people have real power, deliberately ruining talents.

Ling Qingshi was not surprised that an aunt wanted to marry her daughter to her nephew, after all, it was very common for Gu's cousin to have sex in bed.

"How many women of the right age are there in the Anninghou Mansion?"

Bai Xue stretched out her fingers, "Three are all from the Eldest Princess, and they have a pair of twin daughters."

It is taboo in the royal family, and twin girls are generally not allowed to enter the palace, so that should be the remaining one.

The carriage stopped outside Anninghou's mansion, and the servants came to greet him respectfully, leading Ling Qingshi all the way to see Anninghou and the eldest princess.

Marquis Anning stood up and cupped his hands towards Ling Qingshi, "Princess Regent."

Ling Qingshi nodded to him, and then said to the eldest princess who was sitting on the seat without raising her eyelids, "Sister Huang is well."

The sound of the emperor's sister successfully changed the eldest princess's face, and she looked at Ling Qingshi with a bit of anger, but Ling Qingshi didn't care at all. He even called the queen mother the emperor's wife. of.

Of course, it mainly depends on the eldest princess's attitude, whoever respects him, he will respect.

The Marquis of Anning didn't notice the general attitude of the Eldest Princess at all, and reached out to the chair to signal, "Princess Regent, please sit down."

"I have admired the princess's name for a long time, but today I saw the princess, she is indeed very talented, and she is a match made in heaven with the regent." Anning Hou said with a smile when he looked at Ling Qing.

Marquis Anning was born in Wuju, and he also has some warrior habits on his body. He has a rough and straight figure, and he speaks loudly. He doesn't look like a family member at all.

Ling Qingshi smiled, "Your Majesty is absurd, but it's just a bit of a good-looking skin, and it's not as good as my prince."

Hearing Ling Qingshi mention Xiao Chuyi without hesitation, Anning Hou also laughed heartily, "Not bad, this youngest... No, it's the face of the regent king, who can make all the girls in the capital obsessed. Yes, looking at it this way, the two of you are more suitable."

What he said was sincere, and Ling Qingshi quite liked it. He had a good chat with the Marquis of Anning, but the eldest princess who was left out was not very happy, so she stopped him before Marquis of Anning could speak, "Aren't you here today?" Do you want to drink after an appointment, but if you are going out late, you will be fined for drinking again."

With this reminder, Marquis An Ning immediately stood up, "Yes, why did I forget about this?" He smiled apologetically at Ling Qingshi, "Princess, then I will take my leave first, and we will meet again later when we are free." Let's drink together."

Ling Qingshi didn't care about the Eldest Princess sending him away, so he nodded with a smile.

When only he and the eldest princess were left, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down. When the eldest princess picked up the tea in her hand, she took a sip slowly before speaking, "It's autumn, the chrysanthemums are blooming well, and the sky is also cool. , so I picked up a good day to invite the princess to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers. Although the princess has a special status, she is a person in the inner house, so she should walk around more normally, and I just happened to recognize someone today."

This is to say that although he is a man or a bastard, he is no different from a woman when he is married.

Ling Qingshi wasn't annoyed, but instead showed a curious look, "Oh?" "I don't know who there are people who want to know the princess today?"

The dignified princess regent, who is worthy of his initiative to get to know?

The Eldest Princess choked on these words, knowing that this was not a good talker, her face darkened, "It's just some juniors, boys and girls, let's have fun, let them come to meet you, the princess."

The eldest princess changed her words, and Ling Qingshi didn't answer, but just smiled.

Just in time, a person dressed as a nun came in and reported to the eldest princess, "Eldest princess, everyone is here, please move to the back garden with the princess."

The Eldest Princess didn't want to face Ling Qingshi alone anymore, so she got up quickly, "If that's the case, let's go and have a look."

Although there are both men and women, Ling Qingshi was naturally assigned to the women's side in spite of her status as a princess.

There were a lot of Yingying and Yanyan, and when they saw him and the eldest princess appear, they all saluted.

Ling Qingshi was seated next to the Eldest Princess. Apart from those little girls, there were also many women who came. They sat on both sides of Ling Qingshi and the Eldest Princess. Look at him.

Princess Zha didn't intend to introduce someone to Ling Qingshi, but instead recruited her three daughters, "Come on, this is your aunt, come and call someone."

The three girls took a careful look at Ling Qingshi, then leaned over, "I've seen my aunt."

I don't know who is around, I laughed out loud when I heard this, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The man was obviously not afraid. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, he said directly to the Eldest Princess, "The Eldest Princess asked some girls to call the Princess Regent's aunt. Does this really mean that the Princess Regent is a woman?"
