Create a home with a system

"It's the same with the first prince. He has a lot of trouble with the second and third princes. It doesn't make sense to deal with an unremarkable fifth prince to cause trouble for himself. From this point of view, this eunuch is probably not from the empress or the first prince. Of course, it is even more impossible to be the emperor.

So what do you think you can gain even if you really hurt the Fifth Prince? "

Pang Wei's face was a little pale, but Pang Huahao didn't seem to notice it, and continued to say unhurriedly: "Not only will you not get any benefits, but you will also be suspected by the emperor, offend Ping Nanhou, and you are even more likely to be poisoned by the people behind the scenes!"

Pang Wei swayed slightly, not sure if it was because of the swaying of the boat or because he was frightened.

Pang Huahao talked for a long time, didn't stop until his mouth was dry, drank a glass of water to calm down, saw Pang Wei in front of him in a bad mood, and said: "Go out and reflect, the success is not enough, and the failure is more than failure. When you go back, let's see what happens to your father." punish you!"

Pang Wei clenched his fists stubbornly, and silently went down the first floor to the deck.

Pang Furong was lying comfortably in the rocking chair, with snacks and hot tea on the table beside her. Seeing Pang Wei, she was very happy to let him sit beside her, and asked happily, "Brother, you came back smoothly this time." , is it a meritorious service?"

"How do you say it?" Pang Wei calmed down for a while, and returned to his calm look, raising his eyebrows to look at his sister.

Pang Furong pursed her lips shyly, hesitated for a long time before whispering: "That's it. Isn't the emperor going to choose concubines for several princes, one, two, three, four, five, six princes, based on our family background, Do you think I have a high chance of being chosen?"

Pang Wei nodded without even thinking about it, "My sister is beautiful and of noble birth, so she is naturally sure of winning."

"Hee hee. I think so too, so... this time the eldest brother came out with the fifth prince, what do you think of him?" Pang Furong looked at Pang Wei hopefully, holding back the joy in her heart.

Pang Wei frowned, and his voice was a little less gentle, "Do you like the Fifth Prince?"

Pang Furong looked shy, and muttered embarrassingly: "It's not that I like the fifth prince, but I want to get the moon first!"

There are only a few princes who are suitable for marriage, there are so many noble daughters in Xijing, and there are also children of local officials. Although she is very confident in herself, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing. If she can win one at close range The prince is fine.

Pang Wei interrupted her imagination, "If you marry anyone, you can't marry the fifth prince, so you should die."

"Why?" Pang Furong asked puzzledly, but she wasn't annoyed at all.

Seeing her like this, Pang Wei's expression eased a lot, and he explained patiently: "The fifth prince has no mother's family, his birth mother is from a humble background, and the mother is expensive based on his son. No matter how hard the fifth prince works, it is impossible for the fifth prince to move forward. The prince is different, there are not only prominent mothers but also holy favors, the birth mother has a high status, and the position of prince will only fall on those few heads in the future.

For you to marry a prince who has no future, it is better to marry those who are well-matched!Anyway, there are always people who are flattering, even the nobles in the palace have to be polite when they see each other. "

Pang Furong was thoughtful after hearing this, and asked casually: "But even if the unfavored prince marries, he will still be a concubine, and he will be a concubine in the future. His status will be higher than those countesses!"

Pang Wei shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "If it's so good, why is the fifth prince still ignored? Besides, he is a powerless prince, even if he doesn't fight or rob others, he won't really believe it. Can he live?" It's unknown how long it will take, what are you planning to marry this kind of prince? Will you be his widow in the future?"

Pang Furong shuddered in fright, and muttered angrily: "Brother, don't be so scary!"

"I'm not scaring you! I'm just telling the truth, so I advise you to stop these unrealistic thoughts. If you really want to be a concubine, go for the eldest prince, the second prince or the third prince, or marry the fourth prince. , don’t think about anything else.” Pang Wei directly pointed out a way for Pang Furong.

Pang Furong was entangled, and Pang Wei ignored her, watching the Lingnan warships drifting away on the river, his eyes were dim.

The boat continued to head north. Tangning's warship was really conspicuous. The boatman's family who had not heard the news on the river consciously gave way to them, so they went all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived in Shangzhou.

The warships couldn't move forward here, and the navy could only stand by. Tang Ning and the others got into the carriage and only brought a hundred people to escort the tribute to Beijing.

Even so, the conspicuous Lingnan flag is still daunting.

The group stopped when they were approaching the city gate of Xijing. Lu Hongyue rode over to negotiate with the soldiers guarding the city, and waited for the soldiers to come out to greet them.

When Lu Hongyue came back, he brought Zeng Pan with him.

Tangning was a little surprised when she saw him, "Commander Zeng! Stay safe!"

"Hahaha Dingbeihou, Pingnanhou, don't come here without any harm! Let's go! I'll take you into the city!" Zeng Pan swung his big hand and was about to turn the horse's head.

Tang Ning said, "Wait a minute! Commander Zeng, we still have the fifth prince here. I'm afraid I'll trouble you to send someone into the palace to inform the emperor."

"Fifth Prince!" Zeng Pan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the carriage behind Tangning and the others, "Didn't the Fifth Prince suppress bandits in Guanwenzhou, Fujian? Why?"

Tangning chuckled softly, "Something happened. After I entered the city, I went to the palace with the fifth prince to explain to the emperor."

Zeng Pan nodded with a serious expression, and immediately sent someone to rush into the city.

Tangning's carriage passed through the city gate, and there were loud noises coming from all directions. The breeze lifted the curtains, and he could still see the bustling scene on the street. It was completely different from when they invaded Xijing last year.

The couple listened to the voice outside and did not speak.

Tangning ordered Ding Yi to take good care of Qiu Changsheng until the carriage stopped at Dingbeihou's Mansion, and then brought the fifth prince into the palace.

The emperor had already been waiting in the imperial study, and when he saw the three people who came in to salute, he said in a gentle voice: "Get up, is the journey going smoothly?"

Qiu Jingming replied respectfully: "It went well, but at sea, I met the fifth prince and his party who were besieging pirates, and it was delayed for a while."

Ning Chengyun looked at Ning Herui sharply, "Oh?"

Ning Herui hurriedly knelt down, admitting his mistake like a child who has done something wrong, "Father, you are all incompetent servants, not only failed to kill those pirates, but were almost plotted by them. If the warship from Lingnan happened to pass by, The governor sent someone to rescue the son, the son must be in danger!"

Ning Chengyun's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "Are you injured?"

Ning Herui was taken aback, shook his head, and his nervousness eased a lot, and said: "I have soldiers to protect me, I am not injured, but half of the five thousand soldiers died, I am sorry for them."

Speaking of this, Ning He Rui's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
