After the marriage, the princess only wanted to rely on the prince to prolong her life [Za Xiaogua]
On the second day of the second month, the flower banquet.
In the hall where ministers gather, the sound of silk and bamboos stopped.
Bright yellow dragon boots rolled over the golden bricks on the ground, and the emperor looked at the official crawling on the ground, "Gu Qing, do you say it again?"
Gu Wenmin kneeled down to the ground, his voice trembling slightly, "My daughter is twenty-two years old, and she is already over the age of marriage
His forehead was pressed against the cold floor, and a wisp of cold sweat slid down from his forehead.
The emperor silently for a moment, looking to the bottom of the right, "Yongwang , what do you think? "
Yong Wang Fengze smelled the glass of American wine and said carelessly: "My brother has no intention of getting married, Your Majesty doesn't have to bother. "
" Hey," the emperor snorted coldly, "The elder brother is like a father, I have the intention to plan for you, isn't it wrong? "
He turned to Gu Wenmin and asked: "Gu Qing, do you really want to? "
"My..." Gu Wenmin gritted his teeth and was about to refuse again when he heard a soft voice sounding in the hall.
"My daughter is willing. "
The woman in a breeze walked out of the female guest's seat and bowed to the Emperor Yingying, "My daughter Gu Qing, I am willing to follow Your Majesty's will and marry Prince Yong as her concubine. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
"...Is she Gu Wenmin's daughter? "
" Not bad, she just sat beside me. Seeing her taciturn all night, she thought she was a quail, but she didn't expect...hehe. "
" is too courageous. Your Majesty’s affairs are not as good as her girl’s family to interfere. "
" Have you heard of the lack of mistress discipline in your family? "Someone laughed, "If you can do such an extraordinary thing, you won't be ashamed of it." "
" If King Yong insisted on not marrying her, she would never want to marry again in her life. "
The people whispered in the table, which could occasionally be heard into Gu Qing's ears. Gu Qing lowered his eyes and smiled just right at the corner of his lips, like a ruler.
The emperor was also shocked by Gu Qing's boldness, and he called her to get up.
"Are you Gu Qing? "
" Yes, please see Your Majesty. "
The emperor looked her up and down, and saw that the woman in the courtyard was like a willow, her waist was weak and delicate, and she did look a bit deficient.
"Your father would rather disobey my will than marry you to King Yong. You, a woman in the boudoir, said such words to the officials today. Do you know what consequences will be? "
Gu Qing bowed his head slightly, "Please forgive me for being anxious, my daughter... I have fallen in love with King Yong at first sight, and I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it. "
" Fall in love at first sight? "The emperor smiled and pointed at Gu Qing, "What a shameless woman. "
" Your Majesty," Gu Qing bit his lip, "Since he saw a gentleman, Yun Hu was not happy. My daughter really doesn’t want to miss such a marriage, please forgive me. "
The emperor asked her: "Then you heard King Yong say that he had no intention of marrying? "
" Your kindness is like a mountain, and Your Majesty is deeply in love with his brothers and sisters, and King Yong will definitely be grateful. "Gu Qing said, "My daughter treats King Yong's heart, and His Highness Yong will definitely be able to understand it in the future. "
She looked a little embarrassed, but she was not embarrassed at all, and she expressed her affection calmly.
The emperor looked at her firmly, suddenly laughed, shook his sleeves and walked back to the imperial throne.
"Gu Qing, I see that your daughter is very good and worthy of King Yong. Let’s do this, the wedding date is scheduled for the fifteenth day of next month. After the banquet, you can take her back to prepare for marriage. "
After saying that, his eyes swept over King Yong sitting beside him.
Feng Ze put down his wine glass and squinted his eyes to the woman who thanked the priest in the field, his eyes were calm.
"Ms. Gu, please stay. "
In front of the Gu family's carriage, the guards of Prince Yong's mansion stopped Gu Wenmin and his daughter and clasped their fists at Gu Qing, "My Highness asks Miss Gu to step in and talk. "
Gu Wenmin grabbed Gu Qing and said to the guards: "The dew was heavy in the middle of the night, and the little girl was weak and could not bear the cold. If the prince gave him an order, he would accompany the little girl to the palace to pay his respects tomorrow. "
The guard had no expression on his face, "Your Highness talked to Miss Gu, but it won't take long. Miss Gu, please. "
Gu Qing looked at the dark carriage in front of him, "Dad, I'll go back. ”
She signaled her father to let go and followed the guards to the carriage in the Yongwang Mansion. The curtain of the carriage was raised high to both sides, and Yongwang Fengze sat in the carriage.
His skin was extremely white, like the snow on the top of the mountain. In this warm and cold spring night, it was cold and alienated.
Gu Qing stood in front of the car and nodded to Feng Ze, "My daughter has met Your Highness."
Feng Ze leaned against the small table in front of him, supported the chin with one hand, and looked at the delicate woman in front of him.
"Fall in love at first sight?" he said lightly.
Gu Qing pursed his lips, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "My daughter lost her manners in front of the palace, please don't blame me. However, Your Highness remembers that when you went south to quell the chaos seven years ago, you passed by Cangzhou. My daughter was fortunate to witness the heroic figure of Your Highness at that time, and I have been in my heart since then, and I will never forget it."
Feng Ze smiled, "Gu Qing, how old were you at that time?"
"Is it because you haven't been married yet?"
"So you have never been married yet, is it because you are waiting for me?"
Gu Qing shyly lowered his eyes, "In the past, my daughter didn't dare to think about it. Now that Your Majesty has given marriage, how can my daughter miss such a good opportunity?"
She raised her head and said to Feng Ze: "For Your Highness, this may be just a woman's delusion, but I like Your Highness. For Your Highness, there is nothing to be ashamed of loving someone. My daughter's heart is open and honest, and the sun and the moon can be seen."
She boldly met Feng Ze's sight, with sincere words and extremely diligent.
Feng Ze raised his eyebrows.
The women in this dynasty have a strong style, and it is not uncommon for them to be officials in the imperial examination. However, the first one is to express his love in front of all civil and military officials like Gu Qing.
Feng Ze spoke: "What do you want from me?"
Gu Qing blinked, "Hold the case together, respect each other like guests?"
Feng Ze's eyes were observing her for a while, curled her lips, "Lying."
Gu Qing's face turned red, "If Your Highness is willing to favor a little more, Gu Qing will definitely be happy."
This time, Feng Ze only heard Feng Ze sneer.
"Gu Qing, if you have such eloquence, why not join the Censorate ?" He rolled up his sleeves, "Your Majesty will be satisfied with a minister like you."
"But I just want to stay with Your Highness." Gu Qing said seriously, "Your Highness has been alone for many years, Gu Qing... feels distressed."
The woman's gentle voice was like a breeze blowing through the dark night, and the words "low" fell into the listener's ears, and she actually heard a little forbearance and attachment.
Feng Ze sat upright, "You are as smart as a sequel."
His eyes looked like lightning, and he shot at the person in front of him, "If you want to please Your Majesty, congratulations, your purpose has been achieved, so you don't have to pretend to be accustomed to me. You should be clear in your heart why Your Majesty gave me a marriage."
"I don't know."
Feng Ze sneered, "Aren't you concerned about me? Why, you have never asked about my anecdotes in Beijing?"
"I..." Gu Qing bit his lip, as if he had made a great decision, "What Your Highness is talking about on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"
Feng Ze raised his eyebrows.
Gu Qing said again, "I heard that on the night of the Lantern Festival, Your Highness had a dispute with Concubine Yu's nephew Sui Youxian at the lantern party."
She secretly glanced at Feng Ze and said, "Your Highness also broke Sui Youxian's arm."
"Yes, you know." Feng Ze smiled and said, "Then do you know why I had a conflict with him?"
Gu Qing pursed his lips and said nothing.
Feng Ze pointed his finger at the desktop, "Gu Qing, I don't like to play dumb puzzles with people."
Gu Qing took a breath and said slowly, "I heard that it's for a woman."
Her tone was reluctant, and she even felt a little unconcealed grievance.
Feng Ze plunged his hands behind his head and leaned against the back wall. "For a woman, he fought with people on the street. A man like me, Gu Qing, how dare you marry?"
His eyes were burning, and his eyes staring at Gu Qing seemed to burn her a hole.
The night wind blew up Gu Qing's skirt. She grabbed the soft silk ribbon and wrapped it between her fingers, pondered for a while, and raised her lips and said, "If you marry Your Highness, maybe one day, Your Highness will fight with the National People's Congress for me. I am looking forward to that day."
Gu Qing's voice was loud, and several officials who left the palace passed by, and were stunned when they heard this, and quickly pulled each other and walked away.
You can imagine that there will be many rumors in the capital tomorrow. Feng Ze has never been afraid of these, and the woman standing in front of the carriage seems to be afraid in his eyes.
Her clear eyes looked at Fengze with earnest expectations.
Feng Ze waved off the curtain.
"Go home."
He did not say a word to Gu Qing, left her in its original place, and left directly.
"A Qing!"
Gu Wenmin carried his robe and trotted all the way, "What are you still standing? Get in the car and get in."
He directed his coachman to drive the carriage in front of him.
As soon as the father and daughter got into the carriage, Gu Wenmin scolded him angrily, "Who asked you to come out to answer the conversation at the banquet? In front of Your Majesty, how dare you say anything! Look at you, what should you do now!"
Gu Qing stroked the hem of the skirt, "Dad, don't you worry, since Your Majesty has given you marriage, let's do what we should do."
"What stupid words!" Gu Wenmin beats his chest and stamps his feet, "You are a girl's family, how can you decide the major issues of marriage yourself! Besides, didn't you often say that you didn't get married? Why did you change your words today?"
not only changed his words, but his daughter with a shallow temperament was also more brave than anyone else.
The civil and military officials and the families of all officials now know that his family, Ah Qing, is infatuated with King Yong, and is still rushing to marry?
Gu Qing patted his father's chest and was happy, "Dad, it's already done. Could it be that you still want to regret the marriage?"
"I want it!" Gu Wenmin glared, "Your father, I tried my best to do my life before, and even asked Your Majesty to take back the life. You're good, just let Your Majesty issue an imperial edict if you wish to marry. Daughter, who can't you marry? What's the best thing to marry King Yong?"
"Dad, didn't you still praise King Yong in the past? He said that he was a young hero with outstanding military achievements and was a rare good man in the Dayu Dynasty."
"That was the past." Gu Wenmin looked serious, "The King Yong is no longer the King Yong of the past." , Your Majesty will not return the military power to him now. Look at the marriage tonight, did Your Majesty really care about King Yong? "
" Isn't that better?" Gu Qing smiled calmly, "The battlefield is dangerous, I don't want to be worried about my husband, afraid that I will become a widow one day."
Gu Wenmin pointed at her and spat three times, "What nonsense is it, it's unlucky, swallow it back!"
Gu Qing smiled and snuggled beside his father, "Dad, don't worry, I'm willing to marry King Yong."
"When did you think you have this idea?" Gu Wenmin couldn't figure it out.
"It was when I was in Cangzhou." Gu Qing poured a cup of hot tea for his father and held the tea cup in both hands. "Dad, you said you wanted your daughter to live safely. My daughter is willful this time, so please help her."
Gu Wenmin sighed, "You, Dad, please slow down."
The father and daughter whispered softly in the car, and a black shadow rose quietly like a big bird on the roof, plunging into the shadow of the tree next to the road.
Shi Yang, the commander of the guard of the Prince Yong's Mansion, received a reply from his subordinates and frowned.
He turned around and entered the study.
Yong Wang Fengze stood behind the desk, looking at a note.
Shiyang truthfully told the conversation that his subordinates heard in the Gu family carriage, "Your Highness, that Miss Gu seems to have a deep love for you."
Feng Ze glanced at him, "Do you believe?"
Shiyang was silent for a while, "Every time your highness passed by, the restaurants and rooms on Zhuque Street on Zhuque Street were wrapped up by the women. I still remember the year when Your Highness returned from fighting the Southern Barbarians, a pile of handkerchiefs floated down from the sky. Your Highness felt that they were so fumigated, and stepped on them non-stop, which implicated the group of bachelor soldiers behind us, and no one dared to pick them up."
"As you say that, is the girl from the Gu family also among them?" Feng Ze asked.
Shi Yang answered honestly: "I don't know."
Feng Ze bent his lips and placed the note in his hand on the candlelight to burn it. "She said she met me in Cangzhou seven years ago."
"Your Highness fought against the Southern Barbarians seven years ago, and he did pass by Cangzhou."
"I don't remember seeing her."
"Maybe it just a glance on the street?" Shi Yang guessed.
Feng Ze watched the ashes falling from the candlelight and twisted his fingertips, "Shi Yang, if you have the time to guess, why don't you write a book?"
Shi Yang's back chills, "I'll order someone to check what happened seven years ago in the Gu Mansion."
"Go." Feng Ze said coldly.
Shi Yang did not dare to raise his head and took the order to retreat.
Feng Ze walked to the window, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and smiled slightly.
Fall in love at first sight?
is such a beautiful and beautiful word.
It’s a pity that things that are too beautiful are often the most deadly.
The news that King Yong and the daughter of the Gu family got married spread throughout the capital overnight.
Someone who is a good person took this out in a teahouse and a casual chat, and someone asked who the Gu family’s daughter was and why he had never heard of it in the past.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Gu Wenmin is a member of the Ministry of Rites and is not a big official. More than 20 years ago, Mrs. Gu was dying from childbirth, so she passed away when she gave birth to this girl."
"I heard that Miss Gu is born weak and is a medicine jar since she was young. She has been raising her at home for so many years to get well."
"The Houpu Hall on the East Street delivers medicine to the Gu family all year round, and the Gu family's money is afraid of Most of it was hit on this daughter. "
" Then can she manage her family when she married into the Yong Prince's Mansion? "
" Who knows that it is because King Yong is worried about it. You care about him, she doesn't eat your rice."
Amid many different opinions, a green curtain sedan passed through the bustling streets and came to the back door of Houpu Hall, the largest medicine shop in Beijing, and stopped.
A woman wearing a lotus-colored jacket and skirt got off the sedan chair and walked into the door.
A double-storey building is built in the backyard of Houpu Hall. The Chinese medicine is fragrant and the sound of boiling medicine is made from the furnace of Bronze Ding .
The four walls of the second floor are filled with medicine racks, leaving a clearing in the middle, with soft blankets on the ground, and a woman and a young man in gray sit on the futon.
"The boss really wants to marry King Yong?" The young man in gray face froze slightly, his face full of hesitation.
Gu Qing smiled slightly, "If you marry King Yong, you may get the three-leaf red fruit. I don't want to give up this opportunity."
The young man in gray did not agree very much, "But we only know that King Yong and the people in Huagu have had relationships. How deep are they in love? It is still unknown whether Huagu is willing to take out the three-leaf red fruit. The boss shouldn't take such a risk."
"Song Yaoshi, I can't wait." Gu Qing held the hot tea in his hand and took a sip, "I have been looking for the Huagu for three years, but I have nothing. Now The doctors I have seen said that I only have one year left, and it would be fine if I didn’t know that this disease could be cured. Since I knew, how could you let me be willing? "
Song Yaoshi was silent for a while, "I was not good at studying and I was ashamed of my boss."
Gu Qing smiled, "Song Yaoshi, when I hired you, I didn’t know that you could cure me. I have received your help in the past few years and made me act like ordinary people. To be serious, you gave me half of my life. Only I owe you, so why are you ashamed of? "
Song Yaoshi shook his head, "The grace of a drop of water is to repay you, and the boss will help me in the most difficult time, so that my whole family can gain a foothold in this Beijing. I will never forget this kindness."
Gu Qing waved his hand, "Okay, I'm most afraid of you serious people, you always put your kindness on your lips. If you hear too much, I'm afraid of life short."
She smiled and said in a silence: "If you feel really guilty, why don't you study the prescription carefully. When I get the three-leaf fruit, you can use it in time to relieve my worries."
Song Yaoshi was sitting in a daze, "I will definitely live up to the boss's instructions."
He paused and said, "With the King Yong, please be careful."
Gu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, "The Prince Yong's Mansion is not a dragon's den, and I didn't marry King Yong to harm him. By the way, Song Yaoshi, I often hear them say that you and Mrs. Zun's wife are in love. Can you give me some advice on this matter of getting along with men and women?"
She was eager to know, but she saw that Song Yaoshi's upright face slowly emerged with a hint of embarrassment.
He reached out to get the teacup, his fingertips were scalded by hot water, he coughed lightly, and retracted his hand.
"This kind of thing is like drinking water, you know the cold and warmth, and there is no way... to guide you."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, "I read the book and said that I fear the most infatuation in life. If a woman secretly admires a man for many years, the man will always feel secretly happy when he finds out. "
Song Yaoshi said stutteringly: "Everyone has a vanity. But if it is a beloved woman, men may feel most distressed, so how could they be secretly happy? "
Gu Qing thought, "Then what kind of woman do you think King Yong would like? "
When she said this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Maybe she should ask someone to find out which girl Yong Wang fought for at that day Lantern Festival.
February 19th.
Guanyin birthday.
0There are many tourists on the Gu'an Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing.
Gu Qing took two maids to the hillside and found a pavilion to settle down.
Maid Bai Tao took out a handkerchief to wipe Gu Qing's sweat, "Miss, you have rested five or six times along the way. If you don't walk faster, you won't be able to catch up with the Gu'an Temple to put Guanyin Zhai. Why don’t I go and find you a sedan chair? "
" is not needed. "Gu Qing took the handkerchief and pressed it on his sweaty neck, "The terrain along the way is steep, and I feel panicked when I sit in the sedan chair. If I can't catch up, I can't catch up. There is no need to eat less for such a large temple. "
Bai Tao squatted down and pinched her legs. "Miss was not interested in Guanyindan in previous years, so why did she have to come here from afar this year? There are still a bunch of dowry lists to be sorted out at home. If the master knows, he will say that I don’t care about the lady. "
Gu Qing nodded her forehead and complained to another maid standing next to him: "Luyao, I said I shouldn't bring her here. Look at this little mouth, he is even more nagging than an old lady. "
Bai Tao pouted, "Just think I'm nagging. When the lady marrys to Prince Yong's Mansion, I won't worry about this and let Prince Yong take care of you. "
" Yo, King Yong? "Someone nearby chuckled, "Whose little lady is this? Why are you going to marry King Yong? "
as he spoke, the group walked towards the pavilion. The head of
was slender, with peach blossoms, and his cheekbones were slightly shining. He was wearing a palace satin robe, with his right arm hanging on his chest, and he hung a silk belt on his neck.
This man looked Gu Qing and the other two carefully, and smiled with his mouth tilted, "I heard that there was a sick man in Beijing who was infatuated with King Yong, and he even asked for an order in front of His Majesty. I have seen him today. Little lady, are you the big girl from the Gu family? "
He spoke frivolously, Gu Qing's maid Lu Yao took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Qing.
She kept silent, her eyes staring at the man as sharp as a knife.
The man narrowed his eyes, "You maid is pretty good, why do you want to protect your master loyally? "He sneered, "Why do you want to go back to the Sui Mansion with me and let your brother take good care of you." "
After saying that, he and the followers behind him burst into laughter.
laughed out loud, and then he heard a soft female voice ringing in the pavilion, "Sui Youxian? "
The man was stunned and frowned, "Who is going to let you call me by my name directly? "
Gu Qing sat on the stone bench and smiled slightly, "Does your arm still hurt? "
It's okay if she didn't say this, but it aroused Sui Youxian's anger.
Gu Qing's eyes were full of disdain and mocking, which reminded him of the lantern festival at the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When King Yong broke his arm and threw it on the ground. The people around the capital surrounded him, pointing at him and ridiculing and mocking him.
Sui Youxian shook his head and put the shameful scene out of his mind. He gave a wink to the entourage and turned to Gu Qing, "Miss Gu, do you think being Princess Yong is amazing? "
A malicious light flashed in his eyes, "I heard that King Yong doesn't want you. You said, if I stripped naked your clothes here today, would he thank me in turn and give him a reason to break the engagement openly. "
Gu Qing looked at him coldly, "Lu Yao, break her leg, she is considered King Yong. ”
The Sui Mansion's entourage was following Sui Youxian's hint, and when he heard Gu Qing's words, he was stunned. At this moment, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. Their hair buns were broken, and the four of them felt a chill on their heads and their hair fell one after another.
Before they could raise their hands to block the situation, their backs sank again, and their bodies couldn't help but pounce forward. After hearing a few crisp "pa" sounds, the legs of the four people were kicked off, and they just knelt in front of the pavilion steps.
Luyao returned after getting the move. Only Sui Youxian was left standing in front of the pavilion. He half opened his mouth, obviously he had not yet reacted from the mutation in front of him.
Gu Qing took the water bag handed by Bai Tao, drank a sip of warm honey water, and said to him, "Your Majesty Sui, are you satisfied now?"
Sui Youxian widened his eyes and took two steps backwards. He looked at Gu Qing like a look at an evil ghost, "You, you are a slave to commit crimes! Unreasonable! I want to sue you in front of Your Majesty!"
"You might as well give it a try." Gu Qing stood up, "I am the King of Yong and you are the one who gave me a marriage. You deliberately destroy it and are disrespectful. I also want Your Majesty to treat it as a crime."
Sui Youxian swallowed hard, "It's all nonsense! It's obvious that you saw that I was not in harmony with King of Yong, and deliberately tried to deal with it."
Sui Youxian swallowed hard, "It's all nonsense! It's obvious that you saw that I was not in harmony with King of Yong, and deliberately Framed, hurt my slave! "
Gu Qing chuckled, "Since Mr. Sui refused to admit it, then the four people here will be handed over to Zongzhengsi for trial. I believe no one dares to lie in front of His Majesty."
"You are arrogant!" Sui Youxian roared, "What is your identity? Zongzhengsi is also your only partner?"
Gu Qing touched his cheek and responded calmly: "If I, the future Princess Yong, is not qualified, then please ask King Yong to come forward. What do you think?"
Sui Youxian's pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly turned around and looked around, worried that King Yong would appear nearby.
Fortunately, there was no one else wherever he could see. Thinking that no third party knew about the threat of Gu Qing just now, Sui Youxian breathed a sigh of relief.
"I advise you to know the truth." He lowered his voice and warned fiercely, "My holiday with King Yong has nothing to do with you. We should expose today's affairs.
Don't forget that my aunt is Concubine Yu, and she annoyed her. Even if you become Princess Yong, there will be no good results."
Gu Qing shook his head, "I also advise Mr. Sui to have a word, rely on the mountains to fall and everyone runs away. Mr. Sui is afraid that in the capital, Mr. Sui is in the capital. Not only King Yong is the enemy. Haven’t you ever thought that flowers will not be red for a hundred days, but people will not be better for a thousand days? "
She ignored Sui Youxian’s increasingly ugly face and said quietly: "Today it is not that Master Sui let me go, but I don’t care about Master Sui. Otherwise, there are more than four of them who should be broken at the moment."
Sui Youxian’s face was flushed and swollen. He has always been accustomed to bullying men and women in Beijing, so how could he hear Gu Qing’s harsh words?
He wanted to step forward, but Lu Yao stared coldly, and the sound of his followers screaming and moaning in his ears at the right time. He couldn't help but soften his heels.
"Miss Gu, I underestimated you." He gritted his teeth, "No matter how bad I, Sui Youxian, rely on my relatives, and what about you, do you think you can be rampant in the capital by relying on King Yong alone?"
Gu Qing looked at him strangely and bent his lips, "Young Master Sui, I think you made a mistake. If someone dared to be rude to me a month ago, his fate would not be better than you."
She stroked the wrinkles on the hem of her skirt and said to Bai Tao and Lu Yao, "Let's go."
The three left the pavilion and walked along the mountain road.
Sui Youxian looked at their backs, clenched his fists with his left hand, and then put them down with resentment.
He walked over and kicked his entourage one by one, "Why are you still yelling? Climb down for me if you can! If you can't, just die here!"
The entourages have always known his ferocity. They endured the severe pain and supported each other to support their bodies.
Luyao only broke one of their legs, and one of them was still useful. The four of them dragged their legs and limped over to Sui Youxian and moved to the bottom of the mountain in a hurry.
"Your Highness, let them leave like this?" Shi Yang appeared behind a thick tree.
High above his head, Feng Ze was wearing an ink-colored brocade dress and leaned against the tree trunk.
He slapped his palm and let out a frightened bird, his eyes following the bird across the forest.
"When they return to Sui Mansion, you will deal with it." He looked in the direction where Gu Qing's master and servant disappeared, and a faint light flashed through his dark eyes, "By the way, ask the hangzhu, when will the news from the Gu family be delivered."
Gu Qing took the maid and rushed slowly, but he still missed the Guanyinzhai in Gu'an Temple.
Bai Tao went to the room where he asked for a break, and paid some money to the Zhike monk, borrowing the ingredients from the temple and the kitchen to prepare lunch for his ladies.
Gu Qing worked hard for half a day in climbing the mountain, leaning against the arhat couch in front of the window to relax.
Soon, he heard Lu Yao call out outside the house and push the door and walk in.
"Miss, I have already inquired. There is a valley on the west door, where all the female lay Buddhists boarding Gu'an Temple live. "
Gu Qing rubbed his forehead without making a sound.
Luyao asked: "Do you want me to send the lady over now? "
Gu Qing opened his eyes and looked at her, "Luyao, I suddenly felt that I was a little stupid. "
She frowned, "I traveled through mountains and rivers just to see a woman that King Yong might like, and this woman is still a lay Buddhist. Could it be that I still have to become a monk in order to please him? "
She shook her head and smiled, "I'm really attached to the appearance. "
She was eager to bring her relationship closer with King Yong, but this did not mean that she needed him to be moved.
As long as King Yong could be less guarded against her, treat her as her own person, and is willing to tell her where the Huagu is, her purpose has been achieved.
As long as she plays the white moonlight in other people's hearts, it is a thankless thing. King Yong doesn't look stupid. How long can she last even if she imitates Dongshi Pin?
Gu Qing slowly sat up, "I heard that the spring water in Gu'an Temple is good. After lunch later, let's go and get a jar and leave. "
She doesn't want to see the woman who made King Yong fight again. There is nothing to do with them, so why bother people to purify themselves?
Gu Qing decisively extinguished his thoughts of inquiring. The master and servant had finished their lunch, took a nap in the room for a while, and then arranged to go and get water down the mountain.
Lu Yao and Bai Tao followed Zhike Monk to find the source of the spring water. Gu Qing put on a fox cloak and was alone Enjoy the scenery in the temple.
At this time, many pilgrims have dispersed and the temple is quiet.
Gu Qing walked under a plum tree and stopped.
This is an old plum tree with vigorous branches, thin red and cold, and a faint fragrance is thrilling.
The wind blows, and Gu Qing raises his hand to catch a few withered petals, and suddenly hears someone yelling coldly: "How can you feel at ease? "
's voice is a female voice, and there is a faint shrillness in the coldness.
Gu Qing looked in the voice and saw a young woman wearing plain clothes and cloth skirt outside the second door, standing in confrontation with a man.
The man is an acquaintance.
Gu Qing instinctively retreated and wanted to avoid the tree, but Feng Ze had raised his head and looked at her.
Gu Qing lowered his eyes and looked nervous.
The young woman followed Feng Ze's sight and found that there was someone else there. She was embarrassed and embarrassed, and she covered her face and walked away.
Gu Qing looked at her figure who hurriedly fled to the west door, and said softly in her heart.
"See it? "The man's low voice sounded above her head.
Gu Qing came to his senses and saw that Feng Ze had stood in front of her.
He was tall, and what time was a bright red petal on his shoulder, like a firefly in the dark night, dissipating with the wind.
Gu Qing bent his fingers, "Your Highness is here to worship Buddha, too? "
Feng Ze hugged his arms and looked at her, "I heard that a lover was checking the Lantern Festival that night, so let's take a look. "
Gu Qing moved his lips slightly, paused, swallowed the words he wanted to defend himself, and asked back: "Do you see me or her?" "
Feng Ze raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Then do you hope I will look at you or her?" "
Gu Qing was confident and righteous, "If you need to choose, it is your Highness's business and has nothing to do with whether I hope or not. "
Feng Ze lifted his lips, "Gu Qing, you really should look in the mirror. It's not like you who like someone. "
Gu Qing widened his eyes, "Then should I be heartbroken for Your Highness like the girl just now? "
She looked at Feng Ze with her head held high, her neck was a little tired, so she simply walked out of the man's figure and said, "I care about Your Highness, but I will not tie all my joys and anger to Your Highness. I don't want such feelings to become a burden to Your Highness, nor do I want to make myself hateful. "
Feng Ze's eyes were slightly darker, "It sounds like, I'm not the one you desire to win."
Gu Qing's heart was stern, "Thousands of people have thousands of faces, hundreds of people have all kinds of nature. Your Highness is not me, how can I know that I have nothing to ask for from Your Highness? "
" Then what are you asking for? "
Gu Qing closed the fox cloak on his shoulder and said slowly: "What I ask for is already made clear to His Highness on the night of the wedding. "
Feng Ze chuckled, "Gu Qing, I never believe in others' words. "
Gu Qing raised his eyes, "Why don't your highness wait and see?" "
Feng Ze looked at her casually, turned to the hall, "You are going to worship Buddha now? "
Gu Qing shook his head, "I forgive me for not believing in Gods and Buddhas. "
Her mother died of a bloody collapse for giving birth to her. She was plagued by illness at a young age and had a premature death. Her father experienced the pain of losing his wife, and was worried about his weak young daughter day and night. Huafa was born early.
If there are gods and Buddhas in the world, why should she let her family suffer this?
If there are gods and Buddhas in the world, today she speaks arrogant words in this place of believers. Can you show up to argue with her?
Gu Qing lowered his eyes. Everything is false, why should she believe it?
Feng Ze stood beside her with his hands behind his back, "What a coincidence, I don't believe it either. "
Gu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at him, "Then your Highness is here..." Isn't it really just to see her or see her?
Feng Ze looked at the Golden Buddha in the hall from afar, "See an old friend." "
His tone was quiet, and Gu Qing was gone in his tone of familiar ridicule. Gu Qing suddenly realized that Feng Ze was not here for her or the woman in plain clothes, he really had someone he wanted to meet.
And the nostalgia in his tone was so obvious, which made Gu Qing suddenly think of someone.
"Ying Taifei—"
" Her spirit position is here. "Feng Ze responded calmly.
This is not a secret. Anyone with a little knowledgeable knowledge in the capital knows this.
Gu Qing was silent. She was not good at comforting others. Since she was young, she knew that many things in the world were something that others could not empathize with. No matter how much comfort was, it could not offset the pain in her body and heart.
Concubine Ying was Feng Ze's mother, a famous female general when the late emperor was reigned. Later, she was included in the palace by the late emperor and named Concubine Ying.
Gu Qing trance remembered that Concubine Ying died four years ago, and many things seemed to have happened that year.
"Miss! "Bai Tao ran towards her quickly, Lu Yao held the water jar and followed behind.
"Miss, we have already taken the water. "After Bai Tao finished speaking, she found that there was one more person beside Gu Qing, "Who is this young master? "
" Bai Tao, Lu Yao, came to meet His Highness Yong. "
Bai Tao turned around and Lu Yao looked at each other, and they were shocked. The two of them quickly saluted Feng Ze.
Feng Ze asked Gu Qing: "You guys go down the mountain now? "
" is. Does Your Highness want one? "
" can't be done. "Feng Ze looked at her with a blank expression, "Are you worried that I will have a private meeting with someone here? "
Gu Qing frowned slightly, "Even if you are worried, isn't your highness here too? "
She suddenly smiled again, "What's more, I am the one who wants to marry Your Highness. The women in the capital are too envious. What should I worry about? "
She bowed generously to Fengze, "Gu Qing said goodbye, Your Highness will do so. "
She took two maids to leave calmly and walked out of the mountain gate. Suddenly, Bai Tao and Lu Yao were relieved when she heard that they were both together.
Gu Qing was funny, "You are afraid of King Yong like this, so why do you go to the palace with me in the future? "
Bai Tao whispered, "I don't know what happened. When I saw King Yong, I remembered the statue of the gods worshipped at home before and did not dare to make rash things in front of him. "
Lu Yao said, "There is murderous aura on King Yong. "
She is a martial arts practitioner and is particularly sensitive to dangerous things.
Gu Qing looked serious, "Then you have to get used to it earlier. Although King Yong has a bad temper, he is not unreasonable. "
She had contacted Feng Ze twice and found that as long as she didn't fight him to death, she wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
If someone is ungrateful and insists on committing suicide, he can only give him a sentence "I deserve it."
Early the next morning, Gu Qing was summoned to the palace.
Someone from the palace was holding the sign of Concubine Yu. He heard that Concubine Yu "want to meet the future Princess Yong in advance."
The name of Concubine Yu is well known to everyone in the capital.
She is the emperor's favorite concubine and the aunt of Sui Youxian.
Gu Qing took over the sign and was urged by the palace servant to get on the carriage.
The fragrance in Yuxiang Palace is swaying. Next to the copper-gilded smoke cage, there are fruit stands, and dozens of citrons are neatly placed on it. The fruit fragrance is clear and fragrant, which makes it refreshing to the spleen.
Gu Qing stood in the hall, no one watched her seat, she stood alone for a long time before she could hear the sound of the ringing pendant.
A beautiful man in purple dragged her long skirt out of the back room.
Her eyes are like spring water, her eyebrows are like smoke, and she smiles with a little bit of affection, and when she doesn't smile, she also contains a bit of meekness.
Gu Qing saw her and immediately understood why this Concubine Yu enjoyed the emperor's favor for many years and lasted forever.
Concubine Yu leaned lazily on the brocade seat, and her eyes swept through Gu Qing's whole body inch by inch.
"Are you Miss Gu's family and the future Princess Yong?" She received a gift from Gu Qing and said lightly, "Get up. I heard that Miss Gu is delicate and weak, don't you watch the seat?"
The palace servant immediately moved a chair over and asked Gu Qing to sit down in the hall.
Concubine Yu picked up the teacup on her hand, gently swept away the foam with the lid of the cup, and put it to her mouth and dipped it.
She suddenly changed her face and she threw the teacup to the ground, "Who made the tea? Drag it out, and the stick is fifty."
The palace maid who sent her tea to her was blocked and dragged it down without even pleading.
The wooden stick hit and howling sounded quickly outside the door. Gu Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the hem of the skirt slowly wet by tea.
The hall is silent.
After about a stick of incense, the eunuch who executed the execution came in and reported, "Empress, the board has been beaten, but the person who attacked it doesn't know the importance of it, and people are afraid they will be ruined."
Concubine Yu gently wiped her fingertips with a silk squid, "It's a waste, it's her no blessing, and she can't continue to serve me."
She threw the used silk squid aside and smiled at Gu Qing, "I have no rules in discipline, but Miss Gu laughed."
Gu Qing remained silent and owed to her, "Empress's words are serious."
Concubine Yu stroked the pearls and jade on her temples and said slowly: "It's better to meet than to be famous. Miss Gu is very courageous." , I heard that I had taught my incompetent nephew a lesson. "
She smiled like a spring flower, "My nephew is soft-hearted and is often coaxed to do things that are not up to the top. I heard that a bad slave has done evil recently, so I asked my family members to tie the four bad slaves and send them to the government office to discuss their crimes. I wonder if this is the case, Miss Gu thought it was appropriate?"
Gu Qing bent his eyebrows and eyes, "The family affairs of the empress are not convenient for the ministers to argue. However, the empress set an example and safeguard the laws and regulations of the court. If Your Majesty knows, he will be extremely relieved."
Yu Guifei raised her beautiful eyes lightly, "I am only worried that those bad slaves are disagreeable. Although they repent in front of the master's family, they are not I know that I will say some gossip when I arrive at the government office. If I accidentally involve others, I feel a little disgusted. "
She sighed quietly and said, "But everything has laws. Even if I want to cover up for others, I cannot act beyond the rules. Are you right?"
"My lady doesn't have to worry too much," Gu Qing said, "The right and wrong will be judged according to the law. I will not spare any bad person easily."
Concubine Yu's red lips raised, "Miss Gu is really interesting. No wonder Your Majesty wants to give Miss Gu to King Yong. If King Yong has you with you in the future, I will definitely not have the heart to think about others."
Gu Qing sneered slightly, "What does the Empress mean? My daughter is stupid."
Concubine Yu was surprised, "What, don't you know that there is an old acquaintance of King Yong on Gu'an Mountain?"
She raised her sleeves and covered her lips, and smiled softly, "Look at me, this is a private matter between King Yong and you, and I shouldn't have talked too much."
"Yes, I'm also curious why Concubine Yu is so concerned about my brother's private affairs. Your Majesty, the rear seat of Qiwu Palace has been idle for many years. Since Concubine Yu likes to worry about others, it's better to formally hand over the Phoenix Seal to her, so as not to be always missed."
Hearing this voice, Concubine Yu's face changed slightly and she suddenly stood up.
The light at the door shook, and two figures walked in one after another.
"I welcome your majesty." Concubine Yu quickly stepped forward and bowed to the emperor in front of him.
Gu Qing followed suit and saluted.
Feng Ze stepped into the threshold behind the emperor. When he saw Gu Qing, he asked, "Miss Gu is not ready to marry at home, what are you doing in this harem?"
He raised his lips and smiled, "You are not Princess Yong now, and you are not qualified to meet with a wife."
Gu Qing bowed and took a step back, "My daughter was summoned by Empress, and she dared not be negligent, so she came."
"Forget it." The emperor spoke, and he said to Concubine Yu, "I heard you want to see the future Princess Yong?"
Concubine Yu accompanied him with a smile on the top. Sitting down, "I heard that King Yong and Miss Gu got married. I thought that the Gu family was not strong, so Lord Gu was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so I asked Miss Gu to have a chat. King Yong was in heaven and noble, his marriage was the face of the royal family. Your Majesty was busy with all kinds of things and had no time to ask about these details. I dared to share the responsibility for Your Majesty."
"Her father works in the Ministry of Rites and knows more rules than you."
The emperor waved to Gu Qing, "The wedding date is less than a month left. Are you ready at home?"
Gu Qing responded respectfully, "Home My father has prepared a gift list. My daughter has to learn the rules of two hours every morning. If I hadn't been summoned by Empress Yu this morning, my daughter wouldn't have been lazy to take a break. "
The emperor laughed and scolded, "How can you let me slack off when preparing for marriage?"
He said to Feng Ze: "You two met today, and just told her about the rules of Prince Yong's Mansion, so as not to lose your face when you go out in the future."
Concubine Yu saw this and joked in a delicate voice, "No wonder King Yong came with His Majesty. I heard that Miss Gu entered the palace early in the morning and was anxious to meet Miss Gu Will it be? "
" Today is a monthly court meeting. The empress is in the harem, and I think she is not very clear about the matters of the foreign court." Feng Ze said, "I got Jingzhao Yin reported in the morning that the Sui Mansion sent four evil slaves to the government office, but they died before the trial was launched."
Concubine Yu was stunned, "What happened?"
Feng Ze said again: "The coroner found that the four people were covered with whip marks. I heard from the servants of the Sui Mansion that these four people were whipped in the Sui Mansion last night, but for some reason they suddenly died suddenly."
Concubine Yu looked at him , turned to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there are other strange things on them besides whipping wounds?"
The emperor looked at Fengze, and Fengze spoke: "Everyone of them has injuries on their legs. I had reported to Your Majesty in the morning court, and I did it."
He said casually: "The evil slaves of the Sui Mansion are disrespectful to me. I will teach them a lesson to show punishment. Isn't this too much?"
Concubine Yu's face slightly dark, "King Yong has a noble status, so it is naturally not too much to teach a few slaves a lesson. But, King Yong It was too cruel to break the leg bones of a person. It was really cruel. "
" Is there any?" Feng Ze asked back, "Since these evil slaves were beaten by the Sui Mansion and were sent to the government, isn't it because the Sui Mansion also thought I was doing a good job?"
He smiled coldly, "Since Concubine Yu knew that they had been broken by someone, I think the Sui Mansion had already heard from the palace, why did he ask me at this time?"
Concubine Yu used force to hold the armrest of the chair tightly.
She glanced at the emperor, stood up in a hurry, and knelt down with a loud bang, "Your Majesty! I am guilty."
She knew the emperor's temperament and hated secret information from the outside world on weekdays. Although the emperor has condoned her over the years, she often turned her eyes open and closed her eyes and knelt down, but now it is exposed by Feng Ze. She is afraid that the emperor will not be able to hold on her face, so she quickly admits her mistake.
"My nephew was close to me since childhood, so I took care of me more. Now he is old, and others often deceive him by his family background. I am afraid that he will make mistakes, so I told my family to let me know what he does so in order to warn me in time. Yesterday, several slaves under him offended King Yong. My family was afraid that King Yong would have a misunderstanding with him, so they quickly told me."
She looked half-hearted, tears were filled with her eyelashes, looking pitiful and friendly.
Gu Qing stood beside Feng Ze, looking at his nose and his heart, just pretending that he was not in the hall.
After a long time, he heard the emperor say, "Don't cry, get up."
He ordered Feng Ze, "You go and send Miss Gu out of the palace. After returning to the palace, concentrate on preparing for the marriage. If there is no sacrificial call before the wedding, you don't need to enter the palace."
"My brother will receive the order."
Before Feng Ze took Gu Qing out, he turned around and said, "By the way, the evil slave in the Sui Mansion died suddenly, please investigate thoroughly. I don't want to be guilty of intentional murder after I teach a lesson. "
left the palace city, Fengze asked Gu Qing to board the carriage of Prince Yong's Mansion.
Gu Qing did not refuse. She held her skirt and sat down opposite Fengze, and then heard Fengze say, "You are calm." "
Gu Qing pursed a faint smile, "Thank you for helping Your Highness. "
" I thought you weren't afraid at all. "Feng Ze still remembers that when he entered Yuxiang Palace, Gu Qing was not ecstatic when he saw him. She first glanced at him in confusion, and then showed a thoughtful look.
"Gu Qing," he pointed to her face, "What do you mean by the deep love roots? "
Gu Qing was surprised, "Have you ever missed someone and couldn't sleep? Otherwise, how could you know what the deep-rooted love looks like? "
Before he finished speaking, Feng Ze was bullied towards her.
Gu Qing's body couldn't help but froze.
"Look," Feng Ze's breath slowly brushed across her cheeks, "You are even afraid that I will touch you. "
His tone was full of mockery, and his eyes looked at Gu Qing as if he was watching a joke.
Gu Qing's scalp was numb by his stare, and his whole body was filled with blood.
She suddenly grabbed Feng Ze's front and leaned over to kiss him hard on the face.
This mouth was fierce and fierce, and the woman's lips were heavily covered on the man's face. Not only Feng Ze was stunned, but even Gu Qing herself was shocked by the warm touch on her lips.
She looked at him for a moment, loosened her hands, and retreated decisively Go back to the corner of the car.
Feng Ze touched his face, looked at his fingertips, and then looked at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing leaned against the wall of the car, tightening his chin slightly, and his face still had a calm and self-sustaining expression, but his ears were a little red.
Feng Ze sat back.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the place on his face where Gu Qing kissed him.
Gu Qing blinked, then blinked again.
He actually disliked her?
Feng Ze threw the handkerchief on the table, "Tell me the serious matter." "
He shattered the strange and ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage in one sentence.
Gu Qing: "What's the matter? "
Feng Ze said, "Concubine Yu summoned you into the palace and said something. "
Gu Qing's eyes swung over the handkerchief and looked at Feng Ze, "She crippled a palace maid and killed a chicken to warn the monkey. He also told me that the slaves of the Sui Mansion were sent to the government office by her. It meant that she wanted to use their mouths to make a big deal. "
King Yong broke Sui Youxian's arm, and his future wife broke the leg of the servants of the Sui Mansion. This was obviously arguing with the Sui Mansion.
To go deeper, behind the Sui family is Concubine Yu, and behind the Concubine Yu is the emperor. The Yong couple is not giving face to the Sui family so much that they do not give face to the emperor.
There are many people in the capital. If they ask more details and dig out the entanglement between Gu Qing and Sui Youxian, then this topic will be a little unclear.
People in the world are most relished What he told is the matter between men and women. Gu Qing first showed goodwill to King Yong in public, and then had private involvement with Sui Youxian. No matter what the facts are, they just want to watch the fun. Naturally, what kind of topics are so exciting, so they can focus on what topics they are.
Although the people are tough nowadays and are far less harsh to women than the previous dynasty, King Yong originally did not want to marry her. If this matter is a big deal, he can use this to terminate the engagement. Gu Qing will definitely become a joke in the capital.
"Why should your highness admit that you broke their legs? "Gu Qing asked.
"What do you think? "
" Your Highness is following me? "Gu Qing remembered that Feng Ze was with her on Gu'an Mountain yesterday, and maybe she happened to witness the scene of the slaves of the Sui Mansion being beaten up, "Don't your Highness believe me? "
She blurted out.
Otherwise, why would Fengze explain that she wanted to follow her?
Fengze glanced at her, her eyes were dim and difficult to see.
"Gu Qing, a woman would be surprised and moved when she heard Xinyi's man bring disaster to her, but she was not like you, questioning my trust."Feng Ze said slowly, "If you really devote yourself to me, how could you suspect that I don't believe you?" "
Gu Qing laughed dryly, and she turned her head to look out the window, "People who are moved first are naturally more likely to worry about gains and losses. Your Highness refuses marriage first and speaks coldly behind. Even if I hold my true heart in my hand, your Highness may not believe it. "
" Didn't you let me wait and see? Since you have been swearing, I should see it. So what if you see "
"? "Gu Qing retorted, "Will you believe it when you see it? Your Highness is not me, how can I know that I am not trying all my strength to please Your Highness? "
Her eyes fell on the handkerchief where Feng Ze wiped his face again, "If your highness likes a woman who seeks death for men, it is better to break off the engagement as soon as possible! "
Her face was flushed and her words were sharp, and she looked like she was so angry.
She stopped talking to Fengze anymore, turned her head to the coachman outside and said, "Stop! "
The coachman is the guard of the Yongwang Mansion. He did not hear Feng Ze's orders, so he drove the carriage forward.
Gu Qing had a straight face. When the carriage stopped outside the Gu Mansion, she lifted the curtain and jumped down without looking back.
Feng Ze looked through the car window and watched the slender figure walking into the Gu Mansion quickly. The green cloak rose high behind her, like a erratic cloud.
He ordered the coachman, "Go back to home. "
Gu Qing entered the house and headed straight to his yard.
" Miss, you are finally back. "Bai Tao greeted him with joy, "The master is anxious when he is waiting." "
Gu Qing waved his hand, "Pour glass of water for me first. "She wants to suppress her shock.
"Ms., why is your face so red? "Bai Tao brought a glass of honey water and fanned her with her hands, "It's not hot this day. "
" is so angry. "Gu Qing only said half of it.
and half were scared.
Her plan to approach Feng Ze almost failed.
Fortunately, she read a lot of books recently, and let her learn one thing. When there is no reason to tell, the only way to live is to mess around.
Gu Qing stroking his chest silently, and just walked anxiously, his heart was beating.
She took a sip of water and calmed down slowly.
The words she threw at Feng Ze were to retreat to advance, and she believed that Feng Ze would never break off the engagement.
The emperor's imperial edict was not so easy to refute Back, it would be fine if Feng Ze refused to accept the wedding night, but he accepted it and regretted it. This was a slap on the emperor's face. With Feng Ze's shrewd, he would not do such a fool.
Gu Qing picked up the book on the table and flipped it over and sighed.
It's not good to be too smart. Her "deep affection" is always in danger in front of him.
Is it so important that he really doesn't really feel that he is so sincere? Why do people live too clearly in the world? You should be content to be able to live safely until old age. People in the book can respect each other as guests as long as they are old even if they don't love each other, and they have never seen each other badly.
"A Qing! "The old father Gu Wenmin rushed over after hearing the news.
He pulled his daughter up and down, "Concubine Yu summoned you into the palace, isn't it difficult for you, right? "
" does not. "Gu Qing comforted her usual, "She just talked to me. Not long after, Your Majesty and King Yong also came, so I followed King Yong out of the palace. "
Gu Wenmin rested, "It's fine if it's okay. You don’t know that King Yong beat up the servants of the Sui Mansion. The Sui Mansion was thinking, and tied these people to the government office. Just before the trial began, all four people died suddenly. This morning, someone used this matter to discuss the intentional murder of King Yong, but fortunately someone refuted it. What did "
" refute? "
" They said that King Yong was trying to kill those people at will. If he really wanted to do something, it wouldn't be as simple as breaking his legs. He just needed to ask the guards to kill them on the grounds that the evil slave offended the royal family. Why wait until he sent the person to the government office and then cause trouble? "
" is reasonable. "Gu Qing responded in response.
No wonder the emperor didn't look very good when he saw Concubine Yu. It turned out that he was not blaming Concubine Yu and secretly circulating information outside the palace, but blaming her for being ineffective in doing things, which turned the small matter of slaves in the Sui Mansion into a farce in the court.
just how did those four people die?
Gu Qing thought about it.
Gu Wenmin sighed beside him, "I said I shouldn't agree to this marriage. There is no peace around King Yong. Don't let you suffer if you are implicated."
Gu Qing obediently pressed his father's shoulders, "Dad, don't you know your daughter's abilities? If you don't live well with King Yong, I will divorce him. Our family's big pharmacy business is afraid that it will not be able to support me for the rest of my life?"
Gu Wenmin heard her mention this and even more I sighed, "Although your body is good, you still can't be too tired. The business outside has been on the right track these years. Since you insist on marrying King Yong, you can enjoy the life of being a princess. Don't work too hard."
"I know, dad, I have arranged all the things about the medicine shop. I usually have a few major managers to take care of it, which won't take much effort."
Gu Qing comforted Gu Wenmin until her old father was coaxed to laugh, and then he gave up.
Feng Ze stepped into the gate of the Yongwang Mansion, and a guard followed him.
The guard held a dark blue brocade handkerchief in his hand and rushed to Feng Ze. "Your Highness, this is your handkerchief on the carriage."
Feng Ze's expressionless face, "No."
The guard was stunned for a moment, and instinctively responded, "Yes."
He handed the handkerchief to the servant passing by, "Take it away."
Feng Ze had turned around, and when he heard this, he turned back for some reason, "Wait."
The guard's handed out hand stopped in the air and looked at him in confusion.
Feng Ze lifted his chin to the handkerchief, "Take it to Gu Mansion, just say, whoever gets dirty will wash it clean."
"Miss, the doorman has your invitation." Bai Tao walked through the threshold with a big red hot stamping post.
"Put it there first." Gu Qing didn't raise his head and wrote the last stroke straight on the paper.
White peach came over and saw a few lines of "Yong" written neatly on the paper.
"Miss, for so many years, I think you love to write this word the most. What is the mystery of it?"
Gu Qing put down his brush, "Writing can calm his mind. The ancients said: 'In the past, Wang Yi Shao had been good at writing for fifteen years, and he was more obsessed with the eight methods of Yong. With the power of the eight methods, he could understand everything.' When the characters were written correctly, his mind became calm."
Bai Tao seemed to understand, "I know, the lady was panicked at home recently. Do you want to go out for a walk?" She put the invitation in front of Gu Qing, "I heard from the doorman that this family is quite a big official, so the lady might as well go join in the fun."
Since her lady was given a marriage by the emperor, there have been more posts handed to the Gu family. Except for a few companies with close ties to Gu Wenmin, the rest of the posts were rejected by Gu Qing.
Gu Qing opened the invitation, "It turned out to be Deputy Prime Minister Xu."
There were three prime ministers at that time, one chief and two deputy ministers. The full name of Deputy Prime Minister Xu was Xu Chengzhi. He took office five years ago and was deeply trusted by the emperor.
This invitation was written by Mrs. Xu. Her eldest grandson, who only invited nobles from Beijing to watch the ceremony in two days.
In terms of time, this invitation came in a hurry, which shows that the host just followed the courtesy and did not really include Gu Qing on the list of must-visit guests.
Gu Qing originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought that when she entered the Yong Prince's Mansion in the future, she might have to prepare such a big banquet. She thought about it and developed the idea of obtaining scriptures.
She replied to Mrs. Xu, "I will be there tomorrow."
. Regardless of how Mrs. Xu feels when she received the reply, on the day of Sun Bairi of the Xu family, Gu Qing appeared in front of the guests on time.
Someone didn't recognize her, so he asked someone for a few words, and a strange look appeared on his face.
They had long heard that a little official's daughter was infatuated with King Yong and asked the emperor to give her marriage. Now that she saw the real person, she wanted to take a look at him, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she pulled acquaintances and whispered.
Gu Qing looked calm, picked up the cherries on the plate and tasted them carefully.
The host family arranged the guests to enjoy the scenery in the small pavilion on the lakeside. There were not many beauties on Gu Qing's side, and a large seat was freed.
Someone came over and sat down with his waist.
This is a woman with a bulging belly. She is wearing a straight snow-green straight face, beautiful eyes, and a bun on her hair, and neatly dressed up.
She peeled a loquat and was about to put it into her mouth, but she heard others' dissuasion, "Mr. Xia, loquat is cold in nature. You already have a body, so you must be careful when you eat."
The woman nodded and thanked her. After saying that, she still put the loquat in her mouth.
She peeled a few loquats and ate them one after another. Seeing that others were staring at her, she seemed to be trying to persuade her but not easy to persuade her, so she simply turned sideways to get the cherry next door.
Unexpectedly, her hand reached the middle and was pressed down on her fingertips.
Gu Qing smiled at her, "Loquats taste sweet and cherries taste sour. It's better to rinse your mouth first and eat it later. "
When the woman heard that she was right, she stopped and asked the maid to pour water for herself.
Gu Qing looked at her with a smile, and the woman was surprised, "Do you recognize me?" "
Gu Qing said: "Xia Ming, the Minister of Revenue, is a hero among women. Few women in the world disrespect adults. ”
Xia Ming asked: “Who is your lord? "
" Gu Qing, the daughter of Gu Wenmin, the Ministry of Rites. "
Xia Ming said "um" with a little confusion in his eyes.
Someone quietly followed him, "This is the future princess of Prince Yong's Mansion. "
Xia Ming thought about it carefully and suddenly realized.
She suddenly bowed to Gu Qing and said, "When the Ministry of Revenue first proposed the silver tax law, His Highness Yong had spoken up for justice. I was not in the court at that time and could not thank me. The government affairs are busy over the years, and it is rare to talk to His Highness. Miss Gu will meet Your Highness the next day, please convey your gratitude on my behalf. "
Gu Qing was slightly surprised. She never expected that Fengze and the Ministry of Revenue would have such a relationship. She said to Xia Ming: "The silver-share tax law is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. In order to promote the new law, the Minister of the Secretariat stayed in Jiannan for five years and tried it personally, which really made me admire him. "
Xia Ming shook his head, "The new method still has many shortcomings. If you want to improve it, it will take at least fifty years to achieve it. "
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Yugong moved mountains, and his descendants were endless. The minister should be relieved. "
" This is not an official office, just call me Xia Ming. "
The two of them exchanged a few words. Xia Ming was originally a taciturn person. Seeing that Gu Qing knew the actions of the Ministry of Revenue in recent years, he was surprised and chatted with her for a while.
Others wanted to get along with Xia Ming, but at this time they couldn't get in touch with him at all, so they had to watch the two chat more and more.
Shortly, a maid from the Xu family came over and asked everyone to move to the main hall to watch the ceremony.
Gu Qing saw that Xia Ming was erect and only had a maid beside him, so he deliberately slowed down and walked with her.
As soon as they arrived near the main hall, they heard a noise in front of them. Wow.
A young woman was pushed out of the main hall by several mothers. She was single and thin, and was caught by the mothers without any resistance. She was just stern and said something in her mouth.
The young lady of Xu family appeared at the door of the main hall. She gave a few instructions to the mothers, and the woman was quickly taken away by them.
The guests saw this scene from afar, and a sharp-eyed man shouted: "That's not Lin..."
She suddenly remembered where this was, looked around and swallowed the second half of the words silently.
Of course, she not only saw the woman clearly among the guests. Gu Qing was slightly stunned when he saw it correctly. If he read it correctly, the woman was clearly the person who met Fengze in Gu'an Temple.
Gu Qing inquired about her background, Lin Xiujia, the daughter of former deputy minister Lin Su.
Lin Suyuan was the emperor's companion during the prince's period. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was highly valued.
Later, he was convicted of occupying fertile land and was found to sell official positions and titles. The emperor put him in prison for review. A few days later, Lin Su committed suicide in prison.
The entire Lin family was demoted to civilians. Lin Xiujia, as Lin Su's only daughter, asked to go to Gu'an Temple to live in the Qing Dynasty.
l1
At the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was because of her that Feng Ze had a dispute with Sui Youxian and broke one of Sui Youxian's arm.
Such romantic affairs are easy to be investigated, so Gu Qing's party a few days ago was found.
Gu Qing had no interest in this girl, but she didn't expect to run into Xu's mansion today.
She gave Bai Tao a few words to Bai Tao, and Bai Tao quietly retreated.
After the ceremony, Gu Qing took the excuse to go to change clothes and left the main hall.
Turn a few paths, and Bai Tao came quickly.
"Miss," Bai Tao leaned into her ear and whispered, "She was locked up in a temple by the mother, saying that she broke the "Medicine Sutra" that prayed for her children, and asked her to copy it again before she could let her out."
Gu Qing frowned.
If Lin Xiujia really ruined the scriptures, Mrs. Xu’s move is not an exaggeration, but why did Lin Xiujia come to Xu’s mansion? Her father died in a bad life, and Xu Chengzhi defeated her father again. The two families would not make enemies, at least they would not interact with each other.
Lin Xiujia was uneasy and stayed on Gu'an Mountain, but the day when the Xu Mansion was held was held. Is it because he wanted to make things difficult for the Xu Mansion? Mrs. Xu secretly detained the daughter of the former deputy prime minister in the mansion. If this matter was spread, it would probably not be so nice.
Gu Qing secretly speculated and said to Bai Tao: "You go back to the other side and stare. If you find something strange, come back and report it to me immediately."
Glasses and drinks for three rounds.
Xia Ming said to Gu Qing, "I'll go out for a walk, have some breath."
Gu Qing helped her get up, "I want to wake up and sober, let's go together."
The two of them left the seat with their maids.
A guest saw her and said curiously, "Miss Gu and Mr. Xia are very close."
"Isn't that true? These two people didn't talk much to us, but they kept talking together. They all sounded like taxes, money, and food, which made people feel heartbroken."
"How could it be said that Mr. Xia is not an ordinary woman? You see, she was pregnant until eight months old and took a leave of absence, and the eldest master of my family only knew how to drink and listen to music as soon as he came back. No wonder he was only a fifth-rank official now."
"If I had a daughter, I didn't think she was too hard. Their men were nothing. If a woman couldn't pass the exam before she was eighteen years old, she wouldn't be able to find a good family at the age of age."
"What are you afraid of? I didn't see Ms. Gu, so I still found her. A good marriage is necessary. "
" This marriage is not a good thing." Someone glanced around and lowered his voice, "Not to mention what position King Yong is in His Majesty. Haven't you heard that he... can't do it?"
Someone quickly covered her mouth with his hand, "You're going to die, how can you talk nonsense?"
"Why is it nonsense? King Yong is twenty-seven, and I heard that there is not even a woman in his backyard, and even the Qinlou Chuguan outside has never seen him visit. No one knows men, let alone twenty-seven, there is no one who doesn't want that when he reaches seventy-seven, why is he arguing with him an exception?"
The speaker was reassuring, and the rest of the people heard it, but they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts, and they all sued each other with their eyebrows.
Gu Qing accompanied Xia Ming in the garden, not knowing that someone had already put a "no" hat on her fiancé.
She looked at Xia Ming’s belly curiously, "Sister Xia is going to give birth soon, so why don’t she rest at home? There are so many people here, and it’s always bad if you accidentally bump it."
Xia Ming gently stroked her bulging belly, "I have been resting at home for a long time, so I’m so bored. My husband said it’s okay to go out for a lot of time. Besides, there are many wives here, so you can also share some birth experience with them."
Gu Qing pursed his lips and smiled, "Then I can disturb Sister Xia."
Xia Ming has been talking to her about the new Dharma since she sat in the same place, and obviously she has forgotten the original intention of coming.
Xia Ming thought about it and showed a soft smile. Her eyebrows and eyes were stretched, which made it difficult for people to associate her with the rumored Shi Lang Xia.
"I heard you have been interested in King Yong for a long time?" she asked suddenly.
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows high. She didn't expect that the gossip in the capital would spread so rapidly that even someone like Xia Ming who only loves official duties could hear it.
Xia Ming saw her surprise and said calmly: "King Yong is very good, you have a good attitude."
Gu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and she could hear that Xia Ming was sincerely praising her. Could it be that Xia Ming looked at him differently because King Yong said a few good words for the new law?
Xia Ming saw that she was puzzled and thought about it. He was probably afraid that she would misunderstand something, and explained: "I only realized after I met my husband that it is a good thing to have concerns in my heart."
Gu Qing couldn't imagine that this was said from Xia Ming, who was known as "Sanniang in Desperate". Seeing that she was open-minded, she couldn't help but ask more: "Aren't you worried about becoming a burden? ”
Xia Mingqi said: “How could it be? "A slight warmth appeared in her eyes, "If you can't help but be happy when you think of someone, then he is not your burden. "
Gu Qing looked at the smile on the corner of her mouth and silently said sorry to Feng Ze in his heart.
She would not be involuntarily happy when she thought of him, but would only feel nervous, longing and worrying.
However, she didn't mind being kind to him, as long as she could change what she wanted.
Xia Ming touched her arm, "Is that your maid? "
Following the direction of her finger, Bai Tao ran quickly from the other end of the path.
"Ms.," she was panting, "Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu started arguing. "
Gu Qing was stunned, "Where is it? "
Bai Tao followed her instructions and stayed outside the temple. If she heard someone quarrel, the place where the young Xu couple quarreled should be -
" temple! "
Bai Tao said as she wanted to lead them over.
Gu Qing looked at Xia Ming: "Sister Xia, should you go back to the main hall first? "
She went to the temple because Lin Xiujia was there. She was curious and worried about what this matter had to do with Feng Ze. Xia Ming was an outsider and was pregnant, so she was inconvenient to follow her around.
Although Xia Ming didn't know what she had plans, she was not interested in joining in the fun, so she nodded, "I'll go back first. Be careful yourself. "
Gu Qing took Lu Yao and Bai Tao to the outside of the temple, and heard a female shouting sharply, "She is no longer the prime minister's daughter, you are still protecting her! "
Mrs. Xu ran out of the corridor with her hair disheveled, and the powder on her face was washed out by tears, and four bright red fingerprints were printed on her left cheek.
Mr. Xu caught up from behind and grabbed her arm, "Where are you going! "
He wore a round-collared brocade robe. At this time, his sleeves were half broken and his collar was scattered.
Gu Qing remembered that when he saw him at the banquet, he had a red and blond crown tied on his head. Now his hair crown is missing. Master Xu's bun was tilted to the top of his head, and his temples were messy.
Mrs. Xu turned around and waved his hand to hit him. The one in her hand was the one holding.
She smashed him a few times and cried and scolded, "You bastard! Your son has only been a hundred days old, so you hit me for another woman! Let me tell you, it depends on my father's help to be able to be today in your Xu family! Do you think your father is amazing when he becomes the prime minister? If you fail even the exam, you are just a waste! "
She wrestled with Young Master Xu, and the two women in the yard who were persuading to fight were pulled and pulled, and finally separated the two.
Gu Qing saw that the situation was unknown, and pulled Lu Yao and Bai Tao and hid behind the rockery outside the yard with her.
His face was hit a few times, and the sharp edge of his hair scratched his face. He covered his face in a mess, "You shrew!" What do you want to do if you lock people in the temple? There are so many people coming to the mansion today, do you think no one sees it? "
"What's wrong with me detaining her? She broke the scriptures that prayed for my son. Isn’t this intention to make my son lose his life? "
" You are still cunning! It was clearly that you poured tea on the book. How could you have the style of a young lady of the Xu family like this! "
"I don't have it? Then who has it? Is her? "Mrs. Xu pointed into the house, "I have never seen a useless man as much as you. He has obviously been rejected by someone, but he still slapped him like a dog. You worry when you hear that I locked her up here, right? What are you here for? Do you want a hero to save the beauty? I still want to do something miserable with her while I am away! "
"You, you..." Young Master Xu was so angry that he trembled all over. He raised his foot and kicked his wife.
Mrs. Xu avoided under the cover of the old lady, "You still dare to hit me?" Xu Zi'ang, don't think that if there are guests at the house today, I dare not turn against you. Wait, I'll go find my mother to judge! After a while, my father got out of the yamen, and I would also let him listen carefully. How much his son defended his enemy! ”
Mrs. Xu turned around and ran out of the ward.
"Stop her!" Young Master Xu chased after him. The two women hesitated for a moment and followed.
Luyao listened intently and signaled to Gu Qing that there was no one else in the courtyard.
Gu Qing then took them into the temple.
In the temple, a woman in green described her as being embarrassed. Her back was against the edge of the table, holding a silver hairpin in her hands, and her sharp hairpin head was facing the uninvited guest who broke into the door.
"Let me out." Lin Xiujiayu's voice was hoarse, and the veins of the hand holding the silver hairpin were exposed.
Gu Qing took a half step forward, Lin Xiujia's voice was shrill, "Stop!"
Gu Qing sighed, "Miss Lin, someone will come here at any time, I need your cooperation." After
, she made an action to Luyao.
Luyao understood and flashed to Lin Xiujia.
Lin Xiujia screamed, "What are you going to do!"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yao slashed her neck with a palm, Lin Xiujia rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
Luyao took her body and carried her up to the waist.
Gu Qing glanced at the table, picked up the half-copied scriptures and threw them to her, and ordered: "Hide her in my carriage."
Luyao nodded and carried Lin Xiujia out.
Gu Qing and Bai Tao quickly left the temple. They walked through the hanging flower gate. As soon as they arrived outside the garden, they saw several people coming towards each other. The leader is still young, wearing a purple gold robe and a jade belt.
They soon met in the courtyard.
Gu Qing nodded slightly to the heads in accordance with the current etiquette, and wanted to pass by them.
"Stop." The man in purple robe called her, "You look like you are not from the Xu family, how could you be in the backyard?"
He had red lips and white teeth, but his tone was a little arrogant. Gu Qing was unhappy, "So this is the backyard?" She smiled softly, "I came to the mansion to be a guest, and I just enjoyed the scenery in the garden and walked here along the corridor by the pool. Thank you, my son, I will go back to the front now."
She was about to walk, but was blocked by the people behind her.
Bai Tao asked with a crisp voice: "Who are you? How dare you be unreasonable in the Xu Mansion?"
"Random!" The person blocking the road shouted loudly, "The second prince is here, how can you, a servant, speak."
Gu Qing heard the three words "Second Prince" and his eyebrows moved slightly.
The second prince, Feng Yuantai, and his biological mother, Concubine Yu.
This is really a narrow road for enemies.
Gu Qing straightened his back and looked at the man in purple in the head with his lips curled slightly, "So... he is the emperor's nephew."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Feng Yuantai was stunned at first, his pretty fair face was quickly gloomy, and his eyes were cold, "What did you say?"
Gu Qing's eyes were curved, "Although it was a few days earlier, King Yong is your emperor uncle. According to his seniority, it is not an exaggeration to call you the emperor nephew."
Feng Yuantai's gloomy gaze oozed coldness.
He had never seen Gu Qing before. He only heard his mother mentioned it once, but he didn't want to meet her here.
"Princess Yong is not preparing to marry at home, and she still has the intention to wander around. It seems that your affection is just like that." Feng Yuantai said coldly, "I thought my uncle really has the ability to fall in love with him at first sight."
Gu Qing smiled, "The Xu family invited each other warmly, how could it be rejected? The second prince also took the time to come? I think you are very familiar with the Xu family, and I believe you have come to visit many times on weekdays."
If you continue to say this, it is suspected that the prince and the court officials were too close.
Even if he was his confidant present, the second prince wished he could block Gu Qing's mouth.
He moved his fingers secretly, and heard the faint voices from behind, and footsteps rushed towards him.
Feng Yuantai's gloomy face stopped.
Then I heard Mrs. Xu crying, "That bitch not only ruined my son's scriptures, but also committed murder. Mom, you have to make the decision for us!"
Gu Qing heard this voice so vividly that he couldn't help but feel funny. Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu went out for less than a stick of incense, and the fight between the couple became Lin Xiujia's actions. I don't know if it was because they shook hands and made peace, or if Mrs. Xu took action to suppress it.
Look at the crowd, including Mrs. Xu and other relatives in the mansion, as well as guests who came to watch the ceremony.
In the public eye, no wonder Mrs. Xu didn't mention the dispute between herself and her husband, but only kept placing the charges on Lin Xiujia.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Gu Qing, Feng Yuantai and others.
Mrs. Xu took the lead and stepped forward, "Second Prince, Miss Gu, why are you here?"
Feng Yuantai said, "I have gone to court, come and watch the ceremony."
He looked at Mrs. Xu with a sad face, and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Xu? What's wrong with the mansion?"
Mrs. Xu's face was as deep as a mournful person, "I don't know my body, and I'm about to follow my daughter-in-law to see it."
Feng Yuantai said, "There are many female relatives in the mansion, so I might as well accompany you. If there is anything, I can take care of you."
He suddenly became friendly. Gu Qing looked at the several servants brought by Mrs. Xu and made two steps away.
"Ms. Gu," Feng Yuantai called her, "Since you are here, it's better to join us to avoid any danger."
Gu Qing looked back with a smile, "Okay."
They came to the temple under the guidance of Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu asked the servant to kick the closed door open.
Everyone looked over and saw that there was no one in the room.
Mrs. Xu Shao’s sob came to an abrupt end.
She pushed the servant away and hurried in, "Where are people?"
She looked at each other with the guests who were watching the fun, with some subtle emotions in her eyes.
Mrs. Xu's expression changed even more, "Search it for me."
The servants carefully searched inside and outside the temple, but found nothing.
Mrs. Xu stared at her daughter-in-law with a grudge, "Wanniang, are you sure the thief is here?"
Mrs. Xu twisted the veil in her hand, "Mother, she is here! Look at the scriptures she copied on the table."
Mrs. Xu waved her away and walked to the table quickly, "Come here."
Mrs. Xu followed her inexplicably, her eyes touched the table, and her pupils suddenly contracted, "Impossible! I clearly saw the scriptures she had copied halfway!"
Mrs. Xu leaned on the crutch in her hand. If it weren't for the crowds of people here, she would have liked to slap her daughter-in-law in the face.
Today is her grandson’s 100-day banquet. The daughter-in-law doesn’t want to handle it carefully, but just cares about being jealous of others.
Although Mrs. Xu did not go straight to the front yard, there were many guests today. She described her embarrassing appearance and was inevitably seen by many people. Even if it was slightly modified, it could not be completely covered. Mrs. Xu could not stop everyone's mouths, so she had to warn her daughter-in-law that she would never tell her quarrel with her husband, and only blamed all the charges on Lin Xiujia.
As for Xu Zi'ang, the young master of the Xu family, he is more shameful than his wife. He avoids it early when he is about to meet an outsider. Before coming, Mrs. Xu specially asked the servant to watch him and prevent him from running around.
At this time, so many people arrived at the temple, but Lin Xiujia disappeared.
When she thought that neither her son nor his wife was worried, Mrs. Xu was angry and said, "Tell me, where is the person?"
Mrs. Xu stammered and heard Feng Yuantai say, "Miss Gu, did you hear anything here before?"
As soon as this said, everyone's eyes focused on Gu Qing.
Gu Qing tilted his head, "The garden is far from here, and I have never heard of any movement."
"Oh," Feng Yuantai glanced at him, "Ms. Gu really enjoyed the scenery in the garden?"
Without waiting for Gu Qing to answer, Xia Ming stood up from the crowd, "Ms. Gu has been with me in the garden before, until I was exhausted, so she would go to play by herself."
Feng Yuantai unexpectedly, someone dared to answer, and he looked at Xia Ming, "Mr. Xia?" He said lightly, "I thought you were doing it in the government office at this moment. The people were busy, but they didn't expect to come to the table for a visit. "
Xia Ming said, "I submitted a memorial at the beginning of the month and had been given a leave from Your Majesty."
Feng Yuantai smiled and looked contemptuous, "I forgot that Xia Shigong is a woman. Women are busy with having children and have no time to be loyal to the country."
" The second prince," Gu Qing said, "Our court rules, all people breed people without taxes, and officials breed people, and they can get silk. Taizu once said: A prosperous dynasty will prosper. Female officials have hard work in the country and hard work in the family.I wonder why the second prince despises him so much? "
Feng Yuantai was refuted in public by her, and her face turned dark, "Ms. Gu cares so much about the people, I wonder how many people she plans to have after marrying into Prince Yong's Mansion? "
He suddenly lowered his voice, with a thick layer of malice in his eyes, and said softly: "Ms. Gu must think about it in advance. If no one can be born, who should I ask for help? "
After he finished speaking, he showed a sinister smile, like a poisonous snake spitting a letter, and hissing.
Feng Yuantai's voice was extremely low, and no one could hear it clearly except Gu Qing.
Mrs. Xu was still calling the servants to find someone. The guests outside the door were following him to join in the fun. Now that he saw this empty temple, even the slowest person could guess something was wrong.
Mrs. Xu was even more embarrassed when facing the many curious inquiries.
She shook her sleeves heavily and ordered the servants: "You go outside to search. "
After saying that, he apologized to the guests, "The mansion is busy today, and he accidentally got into a villain. I think he has been scared away. This shouldn't have disturbed everyone, but my daughter-in-law, who is timid and weird, let's tell you to see a joke. Today, I was given a few rare treasures in the palace. I was about to take them out and enjoy them with you. I also asked everyone to go to the flower hall with me and sit down and take a look at the treasures in the palace. "
Someone was curious and spoke out: "Madam Xu, I wonder who is so brave that he dared to be disrespectful to the master's house in Xu's mansion? "
Mrs. Xu was about to answer the conversation, but Mrs. Xu glared coldly and reluctantly turned her head aside.
Mrs. Xu smiled faintly, "But just a few small things are needed. After today's banquet, the mansion will deal with it, so the guests will not worry about it. Come on, everyone, please follow me to the flower hall. "
She held her daughter-in-law's wrist and pulled her to invite everyone away.
After this, everyone was a little excited.
Originally, according to the current etiquette, only relatives and friends would stay until the evening to attend the dinner. Therefore, after seeing the corals, jade and other items rewarded in the palace, the family with a fair relationship with the Xu family said goodbye to Mrs. Xu according to the etiquette, Gu Qing and Xia Ming were among them.
Mrs. Xu's smile was stiff, "Today's clones are too weak and they are not well treated. If there is any need during the delivery period of Xia Shilang, he can send a message to Xu Mansion at any time. Miss Gu will be out of the box next month. I will give you makeup in a few days, so please don’t dislike it. ”
After Gu Qing and Xia Ming thanked each other, they left Xu Mansion together.
