2059

As he drank, Xia Li seemed to be really drunk.

He thought back to the time when Xia Ling followed behind him, from babbling to growing up into a graceful and beautiful girl.

When he wanted to give up on her, he felt pain in his heart.

But, what could he do If he wanted to be invincible in Xia Kingdom, Xia Li had to join forces with his successor's family.

Since things had developed to this point, Xia Ling could only be blamed for being too beautiful and attracting the eyes of the successor.

"Regent King, come, Xia Li, I'll drink to you. "

Gu Yan did not say a word and only handed a cup to the side. Xia Ling immediately filled it up for him.

With Xia Ling by his side, no matter how Xia Li looked at Gu Yan, he felt a little unhappy. It was as if Gu Yan had directly surpassed him.

A banquet ended.

Gu Yan brought Xia Ling into the carriage.

Xia Li came out of the restaurant. As soon as he came out, Li Yu appeared in front of him with a smile.

"Crown Prince Xia, please go ahead. Honglu temple has already prepared a place for you to stay. "

Xia Li was stunned for a moment, then he smiled.

"Alright, I'll have to trouble Eunuch Li to lead the way. "

The honglu temple had specially hosted ambassadors from the four kingdoms. Xia Li had originally wanted to use the opportunity of coming to the capital early to contact the Xia Kingdom's chess pieces in the capital to understand the current situation of the Zhou Kingdom's court. At the same time, he wanted to use Xia Ling as a breakthrough point... ...

Gu Yan, if Xia Ling was willing to cooperate with them, as long as Xia Kingdom could get a word from Gu Yan, then in the next five to ten years, would Xia Kingdom be able to get a chance to recuperate?

Xia Ling had a rough idea of Xia Li's thoughts.

Over here, Gu Yan brought her back into the carriage.

Gu Yan seemed to have something to do. Halfway through the carriage, he got out of the carriage and asked someone to send Xia Ling back to the mansion.

Xia Ling was full and wanted to take a stroll outside.

She ordered the carriage to stop near the satin shop in the bustling city.

This was the main road of the capital, with the most ready-made clothing and jewelry shops.

Xia Ling was lacking in everything except money.

She did not have many assets in the capital, but Gu Yan was her biggest asset. She had a fixed monthly salary, as well as a fixed amount of money to buy clothes and jewelry.

Gu Yan supported her, and Xia Ling was well-fed.

There were also many people who wanted Xia Ling to help them blow the wind by their ears. They would also prepare heavy gifts.

Xia Ling would not help anyone who crossed the bottom line.

If she did not rely on her current pampering to earn money for herself, would she wait until there were a bunch of women in the manor, scheming against each other, and then come back to earn money?

Xia Ling liked Gu Yan, but she thought it through very clearly.

With Gu Yan's status, even if he fell in love with her, it would be difficult for him to marry only her in this lifetime.

Therefore, Xia Ling was not polite at all when it came to earning money.

Occasionally, when she crossed the line, Gu Yan would let Li Yu knock on the door a few times, allowing her to accept the gifts from the ministers.

Xia Ling was born beautiful and was born in Xia country. The charm between her brows and eyes was different from the women in Zhou country.

She was not short, but her every move carried a gentle and lively flavor.

Compared to her, the women in Zhou country were less feminine and looked like tomboys.

Like today, she was wearing a white dress and had just entered a ready-made clothing store in the capital. She picked out a few pieces of material from the second floor and fixed the size. Then, she heard a few women criticizing her in the corner.

It was said that a wife was inferior to a concubine, but she was wearing a white dress. It was clear that the concubine wanted to decorate the main room. Looking at her stinky appearance, Gu Yan would definitely end up spoiling her for another ten days or half a month.
