The helplessness and desolation in Gu Qingyuan’s words made Li Zhi feel terrified that the woman in front of him seemed to have experienced too many things, the precipitated openness and indifference is far from what he could understand and see through.
Gu Qingyuan looked at Li Zhi dazed look, lightly said: “In fact, many things are not as complicated as you think, grandfather does not want to say its own reason why he does not want to say. Even if you find out clearly, it’s definitely not something worth being happy about for Grandpa. In that case, why hold on to that irrevocable thing!”
“But, my heart ……” Li Zhi’s eyes were full of guilt, uneasy.
Gu Qingyuan looked, voice through the empty silence, “First cousin, past events no longer have any meaning for the family mother! And I, like grandfather, do not want to be mentioned from now on.”
“First cousin, running after the past is no longer necessary. It’s better to look forward! In the days when Grandpa was away, he must not have wanted to see the Li family in disarray. So, be a good grandson who takes charge and let Grandpa see that even if he is no longer in the Li family. The Li family still has someone to hold up, so that he can leave with peace of mind and be able to spend his old age in peace and happiness, is what you should do at the moment.”
“Do not neglect the immediate for the sake of the past, and wait until later is a regret. Then do your filial piety in front of your grandfather!”
The words of Gu Qingyuan came out, and Li Zhi clearly understood a lot, and also realized that he seemed to understand what to do.
“Qing’er, thank you!” Li Zhi looked at Gu Qingyuan eyes were full of gratitude, but his heart was full of complications.
Li family
Sister Shu looked at Grandma Li who was lying on the bed looking pale, with a wrinkle in her hand, her face full of worry, and persuaded, “Grandma, just use some rice! How can your body stand it without eating or drinking? If something happens to you, what will you do to the two sons and Miss Xue’er?”
Grandma listened to the tears and said breathlessly, “I am going to be abandoned, even if I don’t die. Even if I don’t die, I won’t be able to take care of them even if I live, and I will even smear their faces.
“Grandma, what are you talking about? Haven’t things come to that point yet?” Sister Shu said sharply.
“Li Zhuan he has written a letter of repudiation, what else is there to say.”
“Grandma, the grandfather has not yet stamped it! It seems that the grand master is also intolerant. Grandmother, you have to cheer up and plead with the grand master properly, there is still a chance for things to turn around.” Sister Shu said in a bitter voice.
Grandma Li listened to the irony flashing in her eyes and said sadly: “Intolerant? If Li Zhuan was intolerant, he would not have written the letter of repudiation. This writing days, my parents have said all the good things to him, I even kneeled down to him, but he? A little bit of affection is not considered, moreover, what affection is not spoken, oooh …… what is the meaning of me living?”
“Grandma ……” Sister Shu still wanted to what, heard footsteps coming, paused, looked up and saw Li Zhi walking in, hurriedly got up, respectfully said: “Grand Duke.”
Li Zhi nodded slightly, glanced at his mother who was lying on the bed in hunger strike resistance, looked at Sister Shu and said, “You go down first!”
“Yes.” Sister Shu could see that Li Zhi had something to say to the Great Grandmother, so she respectfully bowed out.
Great Grandmother Li looked at her son with heartache and coldness in her eyes, “What? Are you here again to ask what I ever did to that aunt of yours?” Grandma Li said, not waiting for Li Zhi’s response, then sunken anger, “I tell you, as you think of me as a mother, I have nothing to say, ask again also have nothing to say, want to get justice for who, you just die this heart!” Said closed his eyes, do not listen to do not look, do not respond.
Looking at Grandma Li’s agitated look, Li Zhi’s face is no longer the previous anxiety, intolerant, look lightly sat down, quietly looking at Grandma, said flatly: “Mother, for the past, I am no longer ready to ask.”
Hearing Li Zhi’s words, Great Grandmother Li opened her eyes suddenly, a trace of joy spilled out from the bottom of her eyes, “Zhi’er, you believe in mother?”
“Mother, I have no way to look into the past and have never been involved, and there is no way to know what the truth is. So there is no belief or disbelief.” Li Zhi said indifferently.
“You …… what do you mean by that?”
“Mother, some things I believe or not is not important, what is important is whether you have done it.”
“Li Zhi ……” Great Grandmother Li looked sad and angry, “You are still doubting your own mother, you unfilial son ……”
“Mother does not need to be excited, my son came over today not wanting to pursue anything. Just want to tell mother, some things if done, please mother honestly face. You have experienced more than the son, I believe that you have a scale in your heart, once done things, is right, is wrong, your own heart is clearer than anyone else.”
“What am I clear about? I’m not clear about anything.” Grandma Li gasped and said coldly and angrily.
Li Zhi said squarely, “Mother, you are clear about grandfather’s nature, you are not solving any problem at all by making such a scene. It will only make grandfather more annoyed, and you will end up either dead or repudiated. Is this what you want, mother?”
“If I don’t want it, can I change it? Your Li family is already completely intolerant of me, how can I ……” Great Grandmother Li choked.
“The Li family can not be tolerated, it depends on yourself whether you want to.”
“What do you mean?”
“Mother, if you have really done something wrong to your aunt, then face it frankly, go to the grandfather’s face and bow down, confess your mistakes and repent. Ask for grandfather’s forgiveness ……”
“Li Zhi …… you ……”
“Mother, you should know that since grandfather has spoken, you absolutely cannot hide even if you seek death. Since you have made a mistake, you should be thinking about correcting it, not running away. To hold on, consuming will not change anything, and that fluke you think in your heart does not exist at all, so what to do mother weigh it properly, do not wait until father really put down a letter of repudiation, you then come to reflect, then it is already too late.”
Li Zhi said and got up, looking at Grandma Li’s stunned and unpredictable expression, said in a deep voice: “My son is waiting for you at grandfather’s place.” After saying that, he got up and left.
Grandma Li looked at Li Zhi’s back with an uncertain expression, her son seemed to be different there.
Study Room
Li Zhi walked to the place where Li Yi often stayed, the boy guarding the door saw Li Zhi and hurriedly said, “Grand Duke.”
Li Zhi nodded his head and asked, “Can the Sangha be inside?”
“Yes.”
Li Zhi listened and lifted his feet and walked in, the study was quiet, Li Yi was sitting on a soft couch with his back to him, lightened his footsteps and walked to the front, saw Li Yi with his eyes closed as if he was asleep. Li Zhi gently picked up the thin quilt on one side and covered it for Li Yi, sitting down opposite him. Looking at Li Yi’s rigid face, and the hair dyed a lot of white hair, eyes can not help but sour.
So many years, he still for the first time so close to see grandfather, but also for the first time really feel, grandfather he, really old!
Qing’er is right, what he should do at present is to pay proper filial respect to his grandfather, so that his grandfather can have a peace of mind, peaceful old age.
Gu Family, Fushengge
The two women, who are still in good shape, considerate and plump, around thirty years old, stood in front of the old lady with respectful and simple faces.
The old madam sat on the main seat with great authority and looked at them and said indifferently, “What is the matter with you coming here at this time?”
The old madam opened her mouth, and a woman in blue rushed forward and said in awe: “We have been back for so many days, the servant girl just discussed with her sister and wanted to go and ask for a peace offering from the Crown Princess. I’m afraid that if I delay for too long, the concubine will think that the concubine is too ignorant of the rules. Therefore, I came here on purpose to report to old madam and ask her to show me if it is appropriate.”
The old madam listened and glanced at them indifferently, with a puzzled expression.
The two women began to look uneasy under the old madam’s gaze, and the woman in blue said apprehensively, “Old madam, did the servant girl say something wrong?”
“No, you are thinking well, just how could you choose to go at this hour?”
The two of them were relieved to hear the old madam’s words, and the woman in blue smiled and said, “Old madam, our status is just a concubine, our status is low. If we go to the Earl’s Mansion only to pay our respects to the Shizi Consort, if we go in the morning, the servant girl is afraid that the Shizi Consort will be too busy to disturb her. I’m also afraid that she will receive some guests at that time, and we will make her embarrassed if we go there, so we thought it would be more appropriate to go in the afternoon.”
The old lady nodded her head.
The two women’s eyes overflowed with joy when they saw the old lady nod, but when they heard the old lady’s words, the joy in their eyes fell silent.
“You have thought of everything, but let’s hold off a little longer! I haven’t seen Qing’er for a long time, so I’ll prepare some gifts and bring you and the three children there in a couple of days. What do you think?” The old lady said lightly.
When these words came out, something flashed in the eyes of the two women, but their faces were full of flattered joy, “The servant girl listens to the old madam, it’s just that the servant girl is very sorry to make the old madam suffer.”
“I am going to see my own granddaughter, there is no need for you to be sorry.” The old madam said with an indifferent face.
The strong tone of the old madam’s voice made the two of them momentarily not know how to answer. They just smiled.
The old lady looked at them as if they were at a loss for words, the corners of her mouth raised an inexplicable smile, her expression was very flat and she said, “Well, if there is nothing you guys should go down! I will have my subordinates inform you when it’s time to go.”
“Yes, maidservant concubines take leave.” The two women retreated.
The old lady smiled coldly, Gu Ting Yuan is not coming back, let two concubines to take care of himself, he really has a lot of heart! And, looking at the way they thought about Gu Qingyuan and the Earl’s House, it was obvious that they had bad intentions.
The old lady could see, and Sister Qi could even think, especially when she saw the three colorful concubines, Sister Qi understood what the second master was planning to do. But what was she thinking about, Old Lady?
Thinking, Sister Qi looked at the old madam and said, “Old madam, do you really want to take them to see the Shizi Consort in two days?”
“What? Is there something wrong?”
“No, of course there is nothing wrong.” Sister Qi said after a pause, “Old slave is just worried that those three concubine ladies will make things difficult for old madam.”
Hearing Sister Qi’s subtle but meaningful words, Old Madam laughed lightly and reprimanded, “You are still playing sloppy with your words in front of me?”
Sister Qi smiled lightly and said, “Old slave is afraid that if she says something wrong, she will offend the three concubine ladies.”
“Three concubine daughters, there is no offense.” The old lady said with disdain in her tone.
Hearing the old madam’s tone, something flashed in Sister Qi’s eyes, “Then why did the old madam still leave them behind and personally take them to the earl’s residence?”
“Oh, so you also saw what they had in mind?”
“Old slave more or less see the slightest bit, but, dare not presume to be sure.”
“There’s nothing to be sure of, just their cautiousness doesn’t need to be investigated.”
“Then the old lady still ……?” Sister Qi puzzled.
“I just want to show Gu Qingyuan, prying into the earl’s house of women are just.”
“Old madam this is to give a mention to the elder miss?”
“It’s a reminder and a warning.”
“A warning?”
“Yes, it’s a warning!” The old lady’s face sank and her eyes narrowed slightly, “You have seen the appearance of those three concubine daughters, although their status is low but their appearance is not bad, especially that Gu Yun’er, that delicate posture even I, the old lady, can’t help but want to take care of her.
Sister Qi heard a shock, “Old Madam ……”
“Oh, as long as I a word elders give can not resign, Gu Qingyuan even if the more unhappy will have to give me accept!”
Sister Qi’s eye membranes widened in disbelief, “Old Lady, it’s not right to do this! You know Missy’s nature, it’s ……”
“But how? Not to speak a little bit of mercy?” The old lady coldly snorted; “She is a hard-hearted one, but I don’t believe she dares to do anything to my wife?”
“Old Madam, Eldest Miss is now the Earl’s son consort, why do we need to confront her?”
“Of course I don’t want to go against her, but only if she is obedient and knows to treat me, the old lady, with respect.”
Sister Qi listened with a sudden understanding, it seemed that the old lady was still holding a grudge against Missy for once disobeying her! Just because of that little thing against Missy, is it too foolish!
The old lady laughed lightly at Sister Qi’s worried, heavy expression: “You don’t have to worry, I’m not a confused person, as long as she Gu Qingyuan obeys me, I naturally won’t upset her and give her a hard time. But now Gu Qingyuan she thinks her wings are hard and she doesn’t put me, the wife, in her eyes, that is absolutely not acceptable. So, the appropriate pressure is still necessary.”
“And I also believe that Gu Qingyuan is a smart one, between respecting her grandmother and keeping Gu Yun’er, I believe it’s a good choice between the two.”
Sister Qi listened to instantly understood that the old lady was trying to take Gu Yun’er to give a warning to Missy, as long as she no longer disregarded the old lady’s wishes, the old lady would never put anyone on her side, instead, she would send her a beautiful, delicate woman in the past to give her a downward spiral a threat.
The woman’s strong nature is really depressing. Sometimes it really makes people depressed! The first thing you need to do is to think about what good it will do her if Missy falls out of favor. What good would it do to the Gu family? Or did she think that Gu Yun’er could gain the favor of Xiahou Shizi and that she could control Gu Yun’er? Does she think she will not lose anything at all by doing so? Whoever is favored is a member of the Gu family anyway?
Sister Qi thought and shook her head secretly, alas! The old lady hadn’t thought about the fact that the eldest lady was the son’s concubine, and even if Gu Yun’er was really favored, she was still a concubine! How can this be the same?
Sister Qi sighed, but the old lady only wanted to get back the aggravation of being forcefully disobeyed by Gu Qingyuan that time.
After the two concubines returned from the old madam’s courtyard to their own courtyard.
“Sister, do you think the old lady’s so-called two days are real? Or is it just a pretext to cope with us?” In the old lady’s house, the woman in purple (Hu), who had not spoken, looked at the woman in blue (He) and said.
“Whether it’s a pretext, or it’s true. Anyway, we must be at the Earl’s House in two days.” He said in a cold voice.
“But the old lady there ……,” Hu said in amazement at hearing this.
“The old lady there I only have a way you do not care.” He said in a deep voice: “You only need to remember what the old master commanded, always remember your task is to help me, Ran third young lady smoothly into the earl’s residence.”
“Yes, the servant girl does not dare to forget.”
“That’s good, you go back! I’m tired and want to take a rest.”
“Yes, sister.” Hu got up and excused herself, her eyes overflowing with sneers and cold smiles the moment she turned around.
When Hu left, a delicate woman as beautiful as a flower came out from the inner room.
Seeing her, He’s eyes were filled with pride, “Yun’er.”
“Mother, did the old lady not agree?” The woman’s voice was like a warbler, and she said delicately.
“Well! Old madam said after two days.”
Gu Yun’er frowned as she listened.
Seeing that her daughter seemed unhappy, He hurriedly said, “Yun’er, don’t worry, mother you will definitely let you enter the Earl’s House as you wish.”
“Mother, I’m not worried about this ……” Gu Yun’er said after a pause and said, “I’m just, just a little uneasy, is the Earl’s House Shizi master really that good?”
“Of course it’s true, I’ve spent a lot of silver money poking around in the past few days, none of those people said that the Prince was bad, they all praised him and admired him!”
He said and couldn’t help but be excited: “Yun’er if you can enter the Earl’s House, not only will you enjoy endless glory and wealth, but more importantly, no one will dare to bully you anymore. Maybe everyone will be very flattering to you and compliment you. And mother, will also be your father as the main family, I am the wife, you are the first lady. Yun’er, when that time comes, we will have really made our mark.”
Gu Yun’er listened to the eyes are full of yearning, excited, if it is really that way can be great. I think I can’t help but be a little eager to say: “Mother, then you tell me more about the Xiahou Shizi! And that Gu Qing Yuan, when the time comes to see, I also discretion how to speak.”
“Good, good ……” He nodded and began to talk to Gu Yun’er about the tidbits of information she had poked around.
Earl’s House
In the evening, before Gu Qingyuan’s dinner was ready, Xiahou Jueyi came back. Looking at the woman who was busy in the kitchen in simple clothes, Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes were full of softness, and he did not scruple about the admonition that Junzi was far from the kitchen, and lifted his feet to walk in.
Seeing Xiahou Jueyi, the corner of Gu Qingyuan’s mouth raised a smile, “Back.”
“Mmm!”
“Go and freshen up first! Dinner will be ready soon.”
“There’s no rush, do you need my help?”
“No need today, just be responsible for eating more later.” Gu Qingyuan smiled lightly and naturally asked, “Is grandpa still not back yet?”
“He has something to do today, he won’t come to dinner tonight.” Xiahou Juyou said indifferently.
“Is that so?” Gu Qingyuan answered, and couldn’t help but look deeply at Xiahou Juyou Yi, a trace of inquisitive smile spilling out of her eyes.
Looking at this, Xiahou Jueyi glared at Gu Qingyuan, turned around and walked out, “I’ll go freshen up and go down.”
“Good ……” Gu Qingyuan’s voice was tinged with laughter, secretly saying: the old marquis won’t really hold the wine to hide from Xiahou Jueyi, right!
Not far away in the dark, the old marquis looked at housekeeper Zhou in annoyance and angrily said, “Xiahou Jueyi this brat, where I have something to do, obviously he forbade me to appear, that unfilial grandson ……”
“Marquis, Marquis, don’t get excited, think about your wine. In fact, it’s only a few days, as long as you endure these few days, the World Prince returned the salvation to you, can’t the Marquis continue to come here and use the meals cooked by the World Prince Consort?” The old butler hurriedly said.
“What do you know …… Laozi’s rice ……,” the old marquis raged.
“And that brat just said to help? Can he cook?”
“This, the old slave does not know.” The old butler should, more dare not imagine ah! The World Prince actually said to help with the practice of words.
“Humph! No good fellow ……”
The old housekeeper listened to wipe sweat, the world’s son master to help cook is no talent, then, the old marquis he himself every time for wine yield, and what to say?
Gu Qingyuan made the meal, the maids set up the dishes, Xiahou Jueyi just washed up.
When he was ready to eat, Qi Qi walked in, “Master.”
Xiahou Jueyi raised his eyes, “What is it.”
“The second prince may be taking a side concubine soon.”
When these words came out, Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, Xiahou Jueyi’s face was light and said, “Who is it?”
“Miss Liu family, Liu Lin’er.”
Hearing this name, Gu Qingyuan’s mind quickly flooded with some past events. However, the second prince had not yet married the main concubine, and then he took a side concubine, so I think there must be a wonderful saga in it.
“What is the reason?” Xiahou Jueyi asked.
Qi Qi reported.
Gu Qingyuan listened and smiled, there was really a story.
Imperial Palace, Showa Palace
Wei Guifei was in a good mood, sipping the tea in her hand, the smile at the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.
Sister Qian knelt at the side of Guifei Wei’s legs, gently pounding her legs, smiling: “Your Majesty is in a good mood today.”
“Not bad.” Guifei Wei laughed: “Nangong Yu really did a great job for this palace again! Oh …… this is not mindless willow will become shade! The last time I was unsuccessful, but now I’ve been able to use the merits of Nangong Yu again to get my way, it’s really interesting ……”
“Your majesty, to say that the third prince is really talented, every time to make a move on people are so big, but also every time let the Xiehe Palace that was caught off guard, so she wanted to do something are too late, it has all spread to the ears of the emperor. This is also considered a good skill of the third prince!” Sister Qian laughed lightly.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are doing. Said sigh: “The third prince is so, this palace really does not like to hope that the emperor abolished him on this, with him in, may also be able to bring more surprises to this palace.” Maybe, she does not have to do anything, as long as Nangong Yu in the toss will make her wish.
“Your majesty, the emperor is completely disappointed with the third prince this time. Then for the one in Xihe Palace, and the eldest prince will not also make any chastisement?”
Sister Qian’s words out, Wei Guifei face smile hidden some, lightly said: “According to the Palace’s understanding of the emperor, he even if this matter to the empress heart dislike, but at most is also cold to her one or two definitely will not punish her, as for the eldest prince will not.”
Sister Qian heard the words, eyes full of doubt: “This is why? Is the emperor to the empress her …… “Sister Qian said a sudden pause, uneasy glance at Wei Guifei, reached out in hitting his mouth, “old slave confused, old slave nonsense, old slave …… “
Wei Guifei face but not a trace of anger, faintly said: “Well, stop it!”
Sister Qian stopped, heart relieved, thanked the grace, “Thank you for the grace of Your Majesty not to blame.”
Wei Guifei put down the cup in her hand and said with a puzzled expression, “This palace knows what you want to say. However, the emperor does not punish the empress not because he has much affection for her, but simply because the emperor does not like the situation where one head is the only one and one side gets the upper hand.”
“Your Majesty you mean ……?” Sister Qian said in disbelief.
“In this palace clear-eyed people can see, can and the Queen against only this palace. But even if the palace is favored, in the eyes of those officials is only a favored concubine, to put it mildly is just a concubine! In ordinary people’s homes, concubines are only a favor, but can never cross the existence of the main room. In the palace will not be allowed, a concubine over the Queen, that and spoil the concubine to destroy the wife is no different. The emperor will not do that, and the ministers will not allow the emperor to do that.”
Wei Guifei sneered: “More importantly, the Palace has seen clearly for so many years, see clearly. The emperor in the imperial court let the courtiers to check each other, in the harem the emperor also like to see the palace and the empress, check each other, counterbalance each other. This palace is just a pawn of the emperor, the empress is likewise.”
Perhaps even more so for the emperor, what the emperor wants to see is in such a situation, who can outwit who, whose tactics are better, and then, choose the one with the most heart, sleight of hand, and wisdom to his liking to inherit that position.
But these words Wei Guifei did not say, and she is also very sure that she did not think wrong, not to mention wrong guess, for this reason, she will spare no effort to fight with the Queen to the end. And she had absolute confidence that in the end it would be her son who would sit in that position.
After hearing this, Sister Qian looked uncertain, with uncertainty on her face and said, “Your majesty, then, in that case this time, is there no other meaning other than for the emperor to abolish the third prince?”
“Oh, how can there be no, the emperor he does not do punishment. But does not mean that the group of ministers will not react, let the court appear some non-committal voice of the empress, that is what this palace wants.” Wei Guifei said eyes slightly narrowed, “and the first prince and the third prince is the same brother, the third prince so, the first prince is potentially also narrow-minded and limitless, vicious and poisonous people! Let the group of ministers to give birth to such an association, is what this palace ultimately want.”
Wei Guifei words fell, Sister Qian revered. “Your Majesty’s wisdom is extraordinary, old slave really admire.”
Listening to the words of praise, Wei Guifei looked very flat, “there is that person in this palace is not wise ……”
Wei Guifei words have not finished, Nangong night suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, footsteps hurried, look is also very difficult to see.
Wei Guifei look at this, slightly stunned, and then frowned, “Night child, what happened?”
Nangong night face gloomy, said in a deep voice: “Mother consort, my son is being set up.”
When these words came out, Wei Guifei was shocked and suddenly got up, saying in a cold voice: “What happened?”
Sister Qian bowed and retreated without a word.
Nangong night face ugly said: “This afternoon my son heart happy, so went out to drink two glasses ……”
Before Nangong Night finished his words, Wei Guifei thought of those unclean places and said in a deep voice: “Where did you go to drink?”
Seeing Wei Guifei’s expression, Nangong Night knew what she was thinking, frowning, “My son did not go to those places of fireworks, just the restaurant had a few drinks.”
“Then what?” Wei Guifei frowned, in the restaurant who dares to calculate a royal son?
“Half of the drinks, my son went out for convenience, but when I came back ……” Nangong night said gritting his teeth, chagrin: “back to the private room when I actually went to the wrong room.”
Hearing that, Wei Guifei look condensed, in the palace for so many years, do not need to think deeply to know absolutely will not just go to the wrong room so simple to end, “Who is in the room? What happened?”
“It’s Liu Lang’s daughter …… my son moved her ……”
Moved her what means, do not need to think also know what refers to, Wei Guifei face quickly sank down, cold anger, “Night child, how can you be so confused, how can ……”
“Mother Consort, my son said I was set up, otherwise, how could I not make such a superficial mistake. I was drinking two more glasses at the time, but not to the extent that I was so confused about what was going on around me that I didn’t know anything. Moreover, I was very clear in my head, but I just couldn’t control my actions, that’s why ……” Nangong Night said with annoyance: “Someone must have secretly moved something on me, but afterwards when I went to investigate, I couldn’t find out anything. “
The first thing that came to mind was the Empress, and the Grand Prince Nangong Ling.
“Where is your sidekick? He did not follow you?” Guifei Wei said sternly.
“The young man was just at that time by my son to go to do something else.” Nangong night slightly ambiguous said.
The words came out, Wei Guifei’s eyes flashed a trace of hostility, said in a deep voice: “Who saw this matter?”
“Because the girl was frightened and screamed, alarmed a lot of people ……”
Hearing this, Wei Guifei brow jumped, heart filled with fury, this is considered the consequences of complacency and forgetfulness?
Since the matter has been Liu Guifei began to consider her value, “you just said she is the daughter of who?”
“Liu Long.”
“Liu Long?” Wei Guifei frowned, no impression at all.
“Under Lord Liu of the Ministry of Penalty, fifth rank official position. It is the Liu family who once married Princess Dayuan, and Liu Long’s sister was once still Gu Long’s concubine.”
Hearing the words, Wei Guifei suddenly clear. Silence for a moment, “Liu Long’s sister is Gu long term’s concubine?”
“Yes, but, now it is no longer there.”
Wei Guifei listened, raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Night, it seems that after the incident about the Liu family he had all checked it out.
“What is that woman’s name?”
“Liu Lin’er.”
“What kind of person is it?”
“People, soft and weak. Guts also quite small, at that time due to excessive shock fainted, woke up, the whole person was terrified, but surprisingly also trembled and said that she would not say out, and ordered that maid also not to tell, seems to be a good person.” Thinking of Liu Lin’er, Nangong night’s eyes overflowed with a trace of pity.
Seeing this, Wei Guifei’s eyes instantly sank, sneering in his heart, it seems that his own son is not exempt at all, and all men are the same, unable to resist the temptation of beauty.
“Humph! In my opinion this woman is definitely a heavy hearted one. So many people saw what you did with her, what difference does it make if she says it or not. It’s just a tender gesture to win your pity!” The first time I saw you, I was so happy.
Nangong night listened to the expression of uncertainty. After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, “Mother Consort, what should we do now?”
“If no one saw it, it would have been better to abolish her, but now so many people saw it, they didn’t dare to say anything at that time, but afterwards they will surely spread the word immediately. You are an imperial son, in broad daylight, in a restaurant and a woman to do that kind of thing, have you thought about the impact of this on you?” The princess said with irritation.
Nangong Night’s expression was also full of chagrin, but more than that, it was anger, if he found out who was behind the scheme, he would definitely not let him off easily.
“Since the matter has already come out, in the case that it cannot be covered up, only face it.” Wei Guifei said in a deep voice: “I will immediately send Sister Qian over to the Liu family, so that she can pacify them first and not to make any more trouble at this is time. Now you immediately go to see your father and ask for punishment from your father. As for that Liu Lin’er first see your father’s attitude before deciding.”
Nangong night listened and nodded, “There I will go.”
“Well!” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Earl’s House
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The man’s waist, the eyes, whispered, “I want to be on top.”
The man’s hand gave a beat, his eyes darkened, then the corners of his mouth raised a seductive smile and said in a low voice: “As the mother wishes.”
The words fell, Gu Qingyuan only felt a tightening of the waist, the picture flipped, the next moment she was on top of Xiahou Jueyi, looking at the handsome looking man below. Sigh, this man, even in bed, is still like an emperor, noble, elegant, but with a touch more lazy, sexy! The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services.
The aroma, the sweet smell, the soft body, and the unfaithful little hand. Gu Qingyuan’s move made Xiahou Jueyi’s breath become heavy, his body tense, his body that had been abstinent for several days quickly awakened, and the spurt of desire made Xiahou Jueyi’s narrow eyes even deeper and darker ……
Xiahou Jueyi’s eager reaction made Gu Qingyuan’s action pause, his hand unconsciously withdrew, and a few words quickly emerged in his mind, stop when appropriate! Play with fire and burn yourself! Punishment aggravated! A few words out, Gu Qingyuan quickly pulled the man’s hand, slightly gasping at the man, “Husband ……”
“Mmm! ……” The man’s voice is low, dark, erotic, extremely sexy.
“That, husband, there’s something I forgot to mention.”
“What ……?” The man was a little distracted at this point.
“That, ahem …… I’ve come for my monthly period.”
This word out, the man’s face instantly darkened, looking at the woman who smiled obviously some weakness of heart, grinding teeth! Reach out fiercely, pull down the woman’s head fiercely kissed her cherry lips, in feeling the woman could not breathe, bite a bit, before releasing, angrily looking at her, gritting his teeth: “Ruthless eyes of the girl.”
After saying this, he turned out of bed and headed for the bath room.
The man’s back, Gu Qing Yuan stroked his lips, the tingling sensation makes Gu Qing Yuan can not help but suck in a breath, lustful man seems to be in a bad mood, it seems, they have to be honest in the next few days to be good. The thing that teases a man must not be done again. Thinking, Gu Qingyuan quickly lay down, closed her eyes, lightly exhaled, and fell asleep.
Long time, Xiahou Jueyi came out from the bathing room, saw that the woman had fallen asleep, rubbed his forehead, really bad-hearted girl! Sigh, lay down beside her but did not dare to touch her, although soaked in cold water but the restlessness of the body still did not calm down. The most important thing is that you can’t sleep, and your brow is lightly frowned upon. According to medical science, it seems to take four to seven days, in that case he has to continue to abstain from sex these days ……
The next day
“Husband, eat your vegetables.”
“Husband, drink soup.”
“Husband, today’s porridge is very good you need to use more.”
“Husband, come back for lunch today? I will cook what you like to eat.”
Gu Qingyuan looked at the faint dark circles under Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes, with an absolutely pleasing smile on her face, saying caring words, diligently giving Xiahou Jueyi dishes, completely virtuous wife attitude.
However, Xiahou Jueyi did not respond at all to her enthusiastic appearance, but only glanced at her lightly once in a while.
Lanzhi, Mei Xiang and Ling Fei looked at the scene in front of them with uncertainty. A thought emerged in their hearts at the same time, Miss, did she make the Shizi angry again?
Gu Qingyuan saw that Xiahou Juyue did not want to take care of himself, and could not help but sigh, this time the consequences seem to be serious, it is useless to offer attentiveness. Then let’s report the main thing first!
“Husband, that, I am going to go out of the house this morning.”
Hearing that, Xiahou Jueyi side glance, “Where to?”
Finally opening her golden mouth, Gu Qingyuan lightly smiled and said, “To go to the store for a turn.”
“What store?”
“It’s the three stores that Old Lady Gu gave me.”
Xiahou Jinyuan Yi listened and nodded, and then asked, “Is there anything wrong?”
“Husband is really powerful, even before I said it, Husband knew that something went wrong. Husband, you are really wise and wise, wise and wise ……” Gu Qingyuan took the opportunity to pat the horse’s back.
Listening to Gu Qingyuan’s heartless compliments, Xiahou Jueyi gave her a mocking glance and said: “I’m not wise, and I’m not wise, but I just know someone! According to someone’s nature, if there is not something going on, she is definitely too lazy to go out. She should prefer to lie at home and read a book and think about how to tease her husband.” Said in a low voice: “Maiden, is this son right?”
“Oh …… half of it, half of it.” Gu Qingyuan flattered a smile.
Xiahou Jueyi coldly snorted, but his mouth explained, “Remember to bring a few more people with you.”
“Yes, Husband.” Gu Qingyuan said in awe, with a Jedi obedience attitude on her face, just short of standing at attention and saluting.
Xiahou Jueyi looked at glared at her and got up, “Let’s go! I’ll send you over.”
“No, no ……” Gu Qingyuan hurriedly pushed back.
Xiahou Jueyi raised his eyebrows, Gu Qingyuan got up, told Xiahou Jueyi certain things, finished, Xiahou Jueyi mouth crooked a little, Gu Qingyuan lightly laughed: “Hee hee, husband’s mighty name is too much to go and it’s not fun.”
Store
Old Lady Gu gave Gu Qingyuan’s three stores, two tea stores and one painting and calligraphy store, all of which were suggested to Old Lady Gu when she was in the long run. For one thing, Gu long term operates a teahouse, so that the supply of tea, and the old lady’s sales are much more convenient. Then, Gu long term is a civil official, most of the friends are also civil officials, so the sale of paintings and calligraphy is not a problem.
Following that, the three stores under the care of Gu long term, business is still good, but later Gu long term after imprisonment has slipped a lot, the old lady see not much money to give it to Gu Qing Yuan.
At this time, the tea store, three middle-aged men over forty years old sitting together, looking uncertain.
“Zhang You, Wang Tao you there can all ready?” One of the men, looking at the two opposite opened his mouth and asked.
“We are all ready, how are you doing here?” Two people nodded and answered in the same voice.
“I’m all ready here too, just waiting for the Shizi Consort to check.”
“Yan Gang, is it really okay for us to do this?” Zhang said with some concern.
“What can be wrong?” Yan Gang asked rhetorically.
“From the time Old Lady Gu gave the store to Shizi Fei, I poked around outside, but there are quite a few people out there saying that Shizi Fei is a powerful one. Especially now her identity, we do so in case she sees it, then …… how the consequences are unimaginable ah!” Zhang had uneasy said.
“Yes! I am also a little worried, in case if you see the fishy, a bad we may go to jail ah! Wang Tao was also very apprehensive.
Yan just looked at the two of them, mockingly said: “Look at the two of you that wimpy look, when you first started to do how not afraid, but now is afraid up.”
These words came out, two people face some unsightly, they did not also see the money at the time, a moment of bad thoughts!
“However, if you are really afraid, then take out the money into your own pockets to make up for it, then you don’t have to worry about going to jail or being held accountable by the World Consort.” Yan Gang said with no expression.
Hearing this two people’s faces even more unsightly, money, long gone, with what to make up.
“Forget it, things are so, and then worry about it is useless or find a way to get over a hurdle to say it!” Wang Tao heart crossed, eyes firm down, said in a deep voice: “If this level can pass, we can still get some money out later.”
Yan just listened to nod, patted Wang Tao’s shoulder, agreed: “Older brother is right. We can’t be a slave for life. Besides, we don’t want more, as long as we can turn our descendants around.”
“Yes, we can’t just think for ourselves, but also for our children. If we don’t think of getting some money to be a slave for the next generation, we have to take a chance for the sake of our children.” Speaking of children, Zhang You’s look also firm down.
“Good, you think so is right.” Yan Gang looked at the face with a smile, said: “And, we are not talking nonsense, the other day the store business was not very good, the four sides of the eight neighbors also see the time, if the son consort suspect, she can ask around well! Everyone can see that.”
“But these days, our business is much better, they are also seen ah! It’s not appropriate for you to ask them, right?” Zhang You frowned and said.
Yan just listened to the glare, “You are really a wooden ah! The previous period lost money, this period earned, but how much lost, how much earned they know. The final silver money, that is not how much we say is how much.”
“Yes, yes …… I am confused.” Zhang have dawned a bitter smile.
“Zhang You, do not be nervous, the old lady did not say some days ago! She has never been involved in business, even if she is a powerful, but what is the use of business matters light powerful, that to understand, do not understand, that is not different from a fool, so we do not have to be nervous, to be natural, to be calm, steady yourself to not make mistakes.” Yan Gang enlightened.
“Steady, steady ……”
“The Shizi Consort is ignorant and perhaps confused, but what I am worried about is what connoisseur she will bring from the Earl’s House, that ……”
Wang Tao words have not finished, was Yan Gang interrupted: “You are also a silly, do not say that the Earl’s House family does not care about this point of industry, is an ordinary family husband has a few intervene in the wife’s dowry, that let people look at will only feel prying into a woman’s things, is the performance of no talent. You say, the earldom it will manage?”
“But ……”
“Well, well you just scare yourself, since you have decided not to hesitate.” Said to get up, “Shi Zi Fei she is coming soon, we’d better hurry to go and welcome it!”
The two listened and steadied their minds, “Let’s go!”
The three people went out and saw that Gu Qingyuan had come to see, look at this, quickly step to meet over, kneeled down and salute, greeting: “servant to the World Consort greeting.”
Gu Qingyuan looked at the three people below who looked respectful and smiled lightly, “The three shopkeepers please rise.”
“Thank you, Shizi Consort.” The three people got up and said respectfully, “Please come inside quickly, Shizi Consort.”
“Good.”
Gu Qingyuan lifted her foot and stepped into the house, looking at the neatly arranged books and paintings, smelling the faint ink fragrance, the corner of her mouth hooked up a faint smile, a long-lost smell.
Three people followed and saw that Gu Qingyuan only brought a maid, and a guard, the heart unconsciously relieved, it seems that the World Concubine she did not bring any connoisseur over.
“Please sit down, Shizi Consort.”
“No need, I’ll just take a look.” Gu Qingyuan looked at the paintings and calligraphy and casually said, “How is the business of the store recently?”
“In reply to Your Highness’ words, thanks to Your Highness’ blessing, business has been good lately.”
“Is that so? If business is good, then the profit should also be good, but why don’t I see you hand in the silver money?” Gu Qingyuan flipped through the book in her hand and said indifferently.
When Gu Qingyuan said that, the three people’s faces became very heavy all of a sudden. Yan Gang, who is the owner of the painting and calligraphy building, stepped forward and said heavily, “Your Highness, it’s not that the servants don’t pay, but they really don’t have money to pay.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan closed the book in her hand and raised her eyebrows, “Oh! Why?”
“The princess also knows that there is no stable profit and no loss in business, when business is good to make money, when business is bad to lose money, some even can not even keep food and clothing. However, we have good fortune in the painting and calligraphy building, although not a big profit in the early years, but every month also a small profit.”
Yan just said a turn of phrase, sighing: “But since the Grand Master’s accident, the business of the painting and calligraphy building is in decline, every month to lose money. In those days, if not for the old lady to take their own money to subsidize this, the painting and calligraphy building is afraid to have been closed.”
“Until the time of the wedding, the old lady said: the son consort is a blessed person, perhaps, this store tainted with the son consort’s good fortune will be better, so the store to the son consort to try, the old lady also said, if the store really does not work, she will send another to the son consort.” Yan Gang said, sighing with emotion, “The old madam is wise, the Shizi Consort is really blessed, the store has really gotten better since it came under the ownership of the Shizi Consort. Start making money.”
“The first day was too much, and it was all the old lady’s money, so I thought I’d give the old lady her money to make up for it. So, I took the liberty to send the money from the profit of these days to the old lady, and please don’t blame the World Concubine.”
“The old madam’s posted money is naturally to be given to her, you did a good job.” Gu Qingyuan nodded her head and approved.
Yan Gang’s face was full of flattery when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, “It’s good that Shizi Consort doesn’t blame, but the servant can’t deserve a compliment from Shizi Consort.”
“In that case, all the money in the account has made up for the previous deficit.”
“Yes, all the money has been made up, but this calculation is still a little short. However, looking at the current situation, this business is sure to rise, I think it will not take a few months to have money in the accounts, then the servant will definitely immediately submit to the World Consort.” Yan Gang said with a straight face.
The first time I heard the words “a few months”, the corners of my mouth smiled, but my face was light: “You are the old boss of the painting and calligraphy building, you say so, I think there must be nothing wrong. Then this concubine will wait for you to hand over the silver.”
“Yes, Shizi Consort don’t worry, servant will definitely try to do a good job and submit the silver money over to Shizi Consort as soon as possible.” Yan Gang listened to Gu Qingyuan’s words and responded with a loyal face.
“It’s hard work for you.”
“I dare not.”
Gu Qingyuan looked at the other two people and said, “How is the business of the other two stores?”
Seeing that Yan Gang passed so easily, Wang Tao, Zhang You’s expression became very calm, looked at Gu Qingyuan and sighed, said something similar to Yan Gang.
Gu Qingyuan listened, nodded, and said thoughtfully, “It seems that this business really has profit and loss!”
Three people heard Gu Qingyuan’s words, the eyes flashed sarcasm, and relaxation, but the face is full of approval, agree, sigh: “business is so ah!”
Looking at their expressions, Gu Qingyuan eyes flashed a trace of coldness, silent for a moment, as if remembering something, said: “By the way, can you give me the account book to see it!” The company’s business is not very good, but I’m still curious about the books.”
See Gu Qingyuan a curious expression, Yan Gang eyes flashed what, heart sneer, what curious, but just want to see the books! However, the account book he has already dealt with, he does not believe that she can see what to what?
“Yan boss, can not see?” Seeing Yan Gang’s bewildered look, Gu Qingyuan doubted.
“No, no, of course you can look, the slave will go get it.” After saying that, he walked briskly towards the counter, and Gu Qingyuan followed behind with slow, careless steps.
Yan Gang walked into the counter, took out the key, opened the drawer, picked up the account book, his eyes suddenly opened round, his eyes were full of shock, panic flashed across his face, and then slammed the drawer shut. Although Yan Gang’s strange appearance is only a moment, but several people in the house still saw.
Wang Tao, Zhang have a glance at each other, astonished, Ling Fei looked at the curious, puzzled, innocent Shi Zi Fei, slowly lowered his eyes. Qi Yi quietly stood behind Gu Qingyuan, lowered his head and looked at his toes, did not need to look to know what kind of expression the boss, I hope his eyes did not fall out.
“What’s wrong with Boss Yan? What did you see that was so frightening.” Gu Qingyuan lightly laughed.
“No …… nothing.”
“But you clearly look like you’ve seen something scary ah!” Gu Qingyuan smile even softer.
“No …… no, slave didn’t see anything, huh, didn’t see anything.” Yan Gang began to sweat on his forehead.
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, “Qi Yi.”
“Subordinate in.”
“Go to the counter to see if there is any danger present, surprisingly, Yan’s face is white with fear.” Gu Qingyuan stared.
“Yes, Shizi Consort.” Qi Yi lifted his feet and walked to the counter with big steps.
Yan Gang hurriedly stopped and eagerly said, “No need, don’t dare to trouble Protector Qi.”
“No trouble, the safety and security of Yan’s boss is important.” Qi Yi stiffly returned a sentence, then pushed Yan Gang away and violently pulled open the drawer. Yan Gang closed his eyes.
Qi Yi looked uncertain, looked at Gu Qingyuan, then bowed his head.
Gu Qingyuan stepped forward, Wang Tao, Zhang You also stepped forward, when they saw what was inside, the two faces changed dramatically.
Gu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Gang and said, “Mr. Yan, do you want to explain this!”
Zhang You, Wang Tao looked at the drawer several big gold yuan treasure, and a pile of silver tickets, the two people were shocked to look at Yan Gang, he …… he actually greedy so much! And he actually put these things under this eye, he really …… has too much guts.
Gu Qingyuan walked into the counter, looked inside the money reached out and picked it up, looked at the extremely ugly Yan Gang, faintly said: “Yan boss, what kind of money are these? Is it earned in these two months? Or is it your own?”
When Yan Gang heard Gu Qingyuan’s words, he didn’t know how to respond, his mind was turning over quickly, his eyes were changing, what was the matter with this money? Where did it come from? How did it get here? Damn it, now how to say this? Say it was earned? Is that not a slap in the face? Just now also said a little money on the account, and now immediately emerged so much out, this is not obviously their own want to embezzlement? Say it is their own …… own a boss how will use so much money …… said he also do not know how it happened? This seems more ridiculous.
Looking at Yan Gang’s sweaty forehead, red and white streaked face, Gu Qingyuan put down the money in his hand, and did not urge, picked up Yan Gang’s account book on the counter, sat down on the chair and slowly turned it up. The house at one time except for the sound of Gu Qingyuan flipping the ledger, there is no other movement.
Zhang have, Wang Tao see Gu Qingyuan see the money, the first to do not reproach, angry, but calm look up the account book. This action, unconsciously let their two hearts raised, palms began to sweat, the face than Yan just not much. Although they are just a small shopkeeper, not much insight and learning, but they are also considered business people, more than ten years of time sitting at the counter every day, seen too many different kinds of people. Also gradually have a set of their own experience in reading people.
Those who come to the store, the more thick voice, wearing gold and silver, flaunting the city, seemingly rich and powerful people, but the better to deal with, as long as compliments, compliments they will be happy. On the contrary, a lot of low-key, quiet people are amazingly generous, do not show wealth, do not show power, do not care about their compliments, to please.
Gradually they all see, look at the dress, but more important is that the person’s momentum, openness, joy and anger is obvious people are good to deal with, but, those low-key, joy and anger is not shaped, but the momentum of the extraordinary people are not careless.
So, they looked at Gu Qingyuan’s actions, because completely unable to spy on its thoughts, let alone see its likes and dislikes, but has clearly known that Gu Qingyuan is absolutely difficult to deal with the kind of people. The two men’s faces were a bit gray and their backs were wet with sweat.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the account book in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, this account book is really well done, if it is not understand people to see, it really can not see the slightest difference. It seems that in order to cope with their arrival, they have indeed spent a lot of effort.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time, and they’ve got a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
“Yan boss, remember who these money is?”
The first time I heard Gu Qing Yuan’s question, Yan Gang’s eyebrows jumped, a deep breath, and said: “back to the words of the World Princess, the money ……” Yan Gang said a pause and said: “is the servant’s own.”
Hearing this Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, “own money, why put it here?”
Yan Gang sighed, “In reply to the words of the World Concubine, the money from the profit of these two months was returned to the old lady by the slave. The money on the account is not enough, but the servant does not want to bother the old madam, and does not dare to alarm the concubine. So, from the own money to the emergency, to do turnover.”
“In fact, this matter, the servant originally did not intend to let the world concubine know, lest the world concubine follow worry, that does not appear we do the servant too no thing! So, just now, I saw the silver money forgot to put away some stunned, so that the Crown Princess was frightened.”
Yan Gang said, Zhang You, Wang Tao look uncertain, Gu Qingyuan eyes tinged with a smile, “You are thoughtful.”
“This is all due, after all, the store is in, the servants also have food to eat.” Yan Gang said with a straight face.
“Oh, but Yan boss is quite rich, is the store collapsed with these money you can not starve!” Gu Qingyuan looked at the money, look lightly said.
“I don’t have much money, I borrowed it from my relatives, plus I sold the family’s ancestral objects to get this money.”
“Sold the ancestral objects? It’s so hard for you.”
“It’s painful, but it’s worth it for the sake of the master and the store.” Yan Gang was loyal and righteous.
Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan got up and walked out of the counter looking at Zhang You, Wang Tao, “What about you guys? How is the money turnover? If the same as Yan boss with their own money subsidies, talk to this consort to make an account, this consort returned to you.”
The two people heard, look uncertain, but also a moment, Zhang have respectfully responded: “back to the words of the Princess, the store can still turn around, the servant did not subsidize private money.”
Hearing the words, Gu Qing Yuan nodded and looked at Wang Tao, “What about you?”
Wang Tao looked up at Gu Qingyuan, turned his eyes and then looked at Yan Gang slightly warning eyes, hanging his head, hesitated a moment, opened his mouth and said: “the servant also misses some, but not as much as Yan boss, only about a thousand taels.”
The words came out, Gu Qingyuan slowly smiled and looked at the three of them, smiling lightly and said: “The story is well made, the books are also well done.”
Gu Qingyuan’s words fell, the three people’s hearts a endowment, Yan Gang looked up, with a look of doubt said: “Shi Zi Fei, what does this mean?”
Gu Qingyuan did not directly answer his question, but opened the account book and said lightly: “The calligraphy and painting building and the incoming stores have been dealing with each other for more than ten years. But the price of the goods supplied is only up, and never do any concessions, all kinds of damage, broken also all do not return, pay! On the contrary, the store, the attitude of the guests is excellent good, damaged on the payment, return the goods. And then those with defects, cheap sales!”
“The cost increases, plus the loss of damaged items, and the loss of low-priced sales. In this way, the account can come out. A batch of goods, the purchase of goods into ten taels, minus one or two losses, nine silver money goods even if they are all sold out, the most profit of two taels of silver, but if then sold at a low price due to defects, then the profit may be left more than one tael. More than one tael of silver money to pay the guys’ wages, but really is very little, if you then remove the backlog, each month is really as written in the accounts, but really a loss, ten taels of silver so, if a hundred taels that loss can be even greater.”
“Not to mention the special price that Mr. Yan gives to those frequent customers. So, it’s a miracle that our store has survived so far!”
After Gu Qingyuan finished, looking at the three people’s faces that had changed drastically, blue and white, she smiled lightly and said, “Boss Yan, the accounts are very wonderful.”
Gu Qingyuan’s words, Yan Gang can’t help but tremble in his heart, Gu Qingyuan she not only read the account book, and she even completely understand the hidden false accounts. Gu Qingyuan so there is completely ignorant, there is no knowledge, she may be completely proficient, if so, then they are still playing in front of her big knife, this is not looking for death?
“Zhang You, Wang Tao, your account book can be the same?”
Before Gu Qingyuan finished her words, the two of them kneeled down in front of Gu Qingyuan with a poof and bowed down, their faces ashen, and pleaded guilty: “Shi Zi Fei atonement, Shi Zi Fei atonement ……”
Watching their actions, there would be absolutely no need to ask more questions or watch. Raising his eyes, looking at Yan Gang, Gu Qingyuan casually said, “Does Boss Yan have anything to say?”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
“The accounts did deceive, what about the silver money?”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, Yan Gang’s brow furrowed, silent for a moment, raised his eyes and said with a straight face, “Those are not the servant’s.”
“Not yours?”
“Yes! Not a lackey’s! As for why there is so much money in this drawer, I don’t know. Although you may think it’s ridiculous to say so, but what I said is true. And just now the slave was so panicked by so much money to be stunned, those words are also a panic moment to find the words.” Yan just a go out of the way expression, said.
A seat out, I thought this son consort will be more annoyed, but, however, he was surprised to see a smile in her eyes, momentarily stunned.
“The truth sounds good.”
Gu Qingyuan words out, Yan Gang once again froze, looking at the beautiful, bland, elegant and not warm woman in front of him, heart jumped, eyes tightened, horrified to realize that this woman came over today perhaps not at all to see the accounts, but – to see the people. He said so many things, those are the truth, he himself knows! And she – also know!
Thinking of this, Yan Gang looked at those silver tickets, his complexion uncertain, his hands clenched up! Sweat like rain, looking at Gu Qingyuan’s eyes, instantly overflowing with fear. This time, he thought he had made a perfect response to the meeting, but he never thought that the person in front of him had already laid a trap for him without saying a word.
In front of those silver tickets, he simply can not defend, either frankly or resistance. But, is embezzlement, is deception, are her words matter. And he was imprisoned, or caned to death, is also a matter of her words.
The person in front of you does not have to explore his past ten years of merits and demerits, nor do you need to look hard for any evidence, nor do you need to listen to his seemingly true or false defense, just one shot to completely pin him down, this – too scary!
The first thing you need to do is to look at Yan Gang’s eyes, shocked, fearful, scornful, fearful, etc. The smile in Gu Qingyuan’s eyes deepened and he said softly: “Smart people, often very bold, can be more aware of the time, Yan Gang, what to do you know?”
The words came out, Wang Tao, Zhang have a look of uncertainty, some do not understand. But Yan Gang but understand very well, know the time is handsome, good bird folding wood and perch! She is asking him to recognize the master! In that case, after Old Lady Gu gave her this store, how they did she also know. And how the old lady treated her as her granddaughter, she also knew all about it? The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are doing.
The granddaughter, who is described by old lady Gu as not knowing anything, is far more powerful than her grandmother.
The silence was long, Yan Gang neatly kowtowed to Gu Qingyuan and respectfully said: “Minion has met the master.”
When these words came out, Gu Qingyuan smiled and said inaudibly, “Very good!”
“Yan Gang.”
“Minion is here.”
“The past is now over, as for what will happen in the future, it depends on what you do?”
“I understand, I will do my best to serve my master.”
Gu Qing Yuan nodded after listening, and said lightly: “In the future, these stores will have the Grand Duke to take care of, and you can teach him well.” Gu Qingyuan said looking at the account book in her hand, “I hope that in a month’s time, the Grand Duke will be able to read this account book.”
“Minion understands.”
“All get up!”
“Yes!”
Three people got up, two outside the two were very confused, but looking at Yan Gang’s appearance, they were sure that they were being held.
“Shizi-sama!”
Surprised untimely, the voice of greeting suddenly came, excluding Gu Qingyuan, Yan Gang three people a shock, jerked up, looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, eyes widened, the wind is magnificent, handsome, noble, looking out of the world, high, let people city, bend the knee for him!
Xiahou Jueyi slowly walked to Gu Qingyuan’s side, looked at her and said indifferently: “Still not well?”
“Already well, why are you coming over at this time?” Gu Qingyuan laughed lightly.
“I’m not busy, I stopped by to take a look.” Xiahou Jueyi said with a calm expression.
However, Gu Qingyuan listened but pursed her lips, if she remembered correctly, the man went to the place in the north, her current place in the south, so the opposite direction can still go by way. Perhaps the man’s understanding of the road is different from others.
Look at the laugh in Gu Qingyuan’s eyes that cannot be concealed, and the obvious flirtation, Xiahou Jueyi’s face flashed a trace of discomfort, but instantly turned into anger, this girl is really not cute at all.
“Minion bowing to see Xiahou Shizi.” Yan Gang three people heard the conversation between Gu Qingyuan and Xiahou Jueyi back to their senses and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.
Xiahou Jueyi glanced at them and said indifferently, “Get up!”
“Yes.” The three people got up and stood to the side respectfully.
“Shall we go?” Xiahou Jueyi asked.
“Mm! Let’s go!” Gu Qingyuan nodded her head and looked at Qi Yi: “Take those silver money.”
“Yes, Shizi Consort.”
“Respectfully send off Shizi Xiahou, Shizi Consort.” Yan Gang and the three men were behind them, saying in unison with respect.
Until Gu Qingyuan and Xiahou Juyi walked away. Yan Gang suddenly sat down on the ground, Zhang You, Wang Tao look at this astonished, hurriedly said: “Old Yan you what happened? But where is the discomfort?”
Yan Gang waved his hand, looking at their eager, worried look, his eyes flashed a trace of guilt, “Old brother, I was really almost blinded by lard, almost harmed you guys!”
“Old Yan, what are you talking about?”
“Old Yan, what exactly did Consort say just now?”
“I’ll tell you more about it when I get over it, but for now, remember that our master is the Crown Princess, and not Old Lady Gu anymore.” Yan Gang said, his expression uncertain, eyes overflowing with a trace of pain, “these ten years we three brothers to take care of business for the old lady Gu, can be said to be dedicated, but I did not expect, in the end, the old lady Gu actually use us to target the world’s son consort, is really too chilling …… “
The two listened to this astonished, “Yan Gang what do you mean by this?”
Yan Gang bitter smile, “let you embezzle things, in fact, is the old lady asked me to encourage you to do ……”
The words came out, the two people were shocked, “What did you say?”
Yan Gang sighed, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. They are just the pawns that the old lady used to add to the Shi Zi Fei’s problems! I’m afraid that the final result was not expected by the old lady! He himself was also completely unexpected!
Walking out of the store, Gu Qingyuan looked at Xiahou Jueyi and said, “Xiahou Jueyi, do you still have something to do in the morning?”
“No!”
“Really?”
“Mm!”
“Then I’ll invite husband to go eat something delicious!”
“You’re treating me?” Xiahou Jueyi raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Xiahou Jueyi’s surprised look, Gu Qingyuan glared, what kind of look was this guy giving, as if she was so petty.
“If Husband is not willing then forget it.”
“Mother’s kindness, how could I resist!”
“Touched?”
“I am flattered!”
“Husband is really good at talking.”
“Not as good as your wife.”
“Is that a compliment? Or is it sarcasm?”
“Your mother has the final word.”
“Xiahou Jueyi ……”
“Well!”
“You’re becoming less and less likeable.”
“This Shizi will listen to it as a counter-word.”
Gu Qingyuan listened to Xiahou Juyue Yi’s rascal-like words, her heart was amused, her eyes filled with laughter, but her small hand under her sleeve could not help but reach out and twist him a little, seeing Xiahou Juyue Yi’s mouth twitch slightly due to the stinging pain, Gu Qingyuan laughed lightly.
Qi Yi and Ling Fei followed behind, looking at the interaction of the two masters, their faces somehow felt raised a smile, the kind of faint warmth, let people just look at it and feel good.
Xiahou Jueyi grabbed Gu Qingyuan’s messy little hand and glared at her, this girl has now taken provoking him as a pleasure.
Seeing Xiahou Jueyi glare, Gu Qingyuan bowed her head and pretended to be honest.
Seeing this, Xiahou Jueyi sighed and turned to ask: “How about those three people in the store?”
“Their minds were in turmoil.”
“Then why do they continue to stay.”
“Water is not fish until it is clear, and occasional mistakes, I value the latter more than their experience.”
After hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, an extremely fast bright light flashed in Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes, “You want Gu Heng to follow them?”
“Husband is really smart.”
“You do value this younger brother of yours.” Xiahou Jueyi said with a light expression.
“Husband is first, he is only second to first.”
At these words, the corner of Xiahou Jueyi’s mouth raised a shallow arc. Gu Qingyuan looked and sighed, men are sometimes very careful.
“If they continue to make mistakes, what is Mother prepared to do?”
“When Heng’er is out of school, I don’t mind unloading. Of course, if they are dedicated, I also do not mind letting them live their lives without food and clothing, depending on how they do.”
Gu Qingyuan’s words came out, a low laugh spilled out of Xiahou Jueyi’s throat. This girl’s bad intentions, why would he find it so cute! Could it be because of her smudge of enmity and grudge?
“Xiahou Shizi, what a coincidence! I can’t believe I met you here, it’s really rare!”
A voice came, Xiahou Jueyi raised his eyes, and when he saw the person in front of him, his good mood instantly disappeared without a trace.
The man who was as gentle as jade, elegant and handsome, elegant and relaxed, greeted Xiahou Jueyi, but his eyes were looking at Gu Qingyuan.
Looking at this, Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes sank, his feet lifted slightly, freely blocking Gu Qingyuan behind him, and his narrow eyes did not hide the harshness in the bottom of his eyes.
The man looked at this and only raised his eyebrows slightly, then lifted his feet and went forward, completely ignoring Xiahou Jueyi’s black face, and walked to Gu Qingyuan’s heel. With a charming smile on his face, he said gently, “Stranger, long time no see.”
Gu Qingyuan smiled lightly, “Master Shuo, long time no see.”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, Murong Ye’s eyes lit up and he said happily, “I didn’t expect Stranger to be the same as me! It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other for a few days.”
When these words came out, Gu Qingyuan’s mouth twitched, and Xiahou Jueyi’s face sank.
However, Murong Ye seemed to be unable to see it, but only looked at Gu Qingyuan fixedly, with heartache in his eyes and said, “Stranger, I haven’t seen you for only a few days, but you look much thinner, and you don’t even look as good as before! Stranger, is it not a good time? I don’t know. It’s also true that what Stranger likes is to live a free life, but now you are locked up in the Earl’s Mansion like a cage all day long, how can you be happy in your heart.”
As Murong Ye’s words fell, Gu Qingyuan clearly felt the cold air starting to rise from the man beside her, helplessness spilled out of her eyes, Murong Ye was touching the tiger’s whiskers again. The more ugly Xiahou Juyue’s face is, the bigger the smile on Murong Ye’s face is, watching, Gu Qingyuan can’t help but sigh, it seems his happiness is decisively built on top of people’s unhappy mood.
“Stranger, in fact, I have been over the house to visit you these days, but a certain person does not know whether it is a weak heart, or fear, I have not walked into the Earl’s House gate was stopped, I was not allowed to enter. I was very worried about the stranger, but could not see with my own eyes if the stranger was okay!
Murong Ye said and sighed, “Some people are just too domineering and so unreasonable, completely disregarding the friendship of former fellow disciples, but I have long known that he is a heartless person so it does not matter. Just pity the stranger, but to have to face such indifferent people all day long, really ……” said face full of reluctance, “stranger you suffer.”
Murong Ye’s vocal and colorful words, so that the qi a, Ling Fei jaw, the first time to recognize the sea area that some mute doctor, in addition to a changeable mind, this mouth is also more bad. Surprisingly, in front of the master, said that the world’s son concubine had a bad time, holding for the world’s son concubine, but also to the world’s son concubine complained, which …… Kirichi looked at the emotion, this there is a mute and gentle doctor, this is simply the black to the extreme.
“Murong Ye ……” Xiahou Jueyi’s voice was dark and deep, with a warning in his eyes.
Seeing Xiahou Jueyi’s gloomy face, Murong Ye spread his hands and said helplessly: “Stranger, you have seen it all, I just said the truth someone is not happy and threatened me with his eyes. Someone has a small heart, it seems I have to be more careful.”
Looking at the hint of provocation in Murong Ye’s eyes, Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then said in a clear and cold manner, “Prince Shuo seems to have a lot of opinions about this son, since that’s the case, this son should also show his enthusiasm.” Saying that, seeing the wariness flashing in Murong Ye’s eyes, Xiahou Juyue Yi sneered, “Recently the emperor is giving several princesses affairs to test the horse harnessed by the side of a team, this prince sees that Prince Shuo should be an excellent candidate, perhaps ……”
“Xiahou Jueyi, you are not only careful, but also a villain.”
“This statement, perhaps more lined with Prince Shuo.”
Two big men with flat faces, but each with unkind eyes and fire, one with mockery, one with warning.
Gu Qingyuan watched and sighed ……
“Stranger, Xiahou Shizi he bullies ……,” Murong Ye turned his eyes away and looked at Gu Qingyuan with the face of the oppressed aggrieved.
Gu Qingyuan couldn’t help but shiver a little, the big man pretending to be pitiful and cute, some people can’t bear to eat.
“Stranger ……” Murong Ye’s voice with a small intention of pampering.
“Murong Ye ……,” Xiahou Jueyi’s voice was dark with a hostility that could not be concealed.
“Sister.” A loud voice with laughter came at the same time.
Gu Qingyuan turned her head and saw Gu Heng’s eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth raised in a smile, “Heng’er!”
Gu Heng walked briskly to Gu Qingyuan’s side, swept a glance at the two ill-faced men, what flashed in his eyes then ignored, his face was full of smiles as he looked at Gu Qingyuan, “Sister, how are you today?”
“Mmm! Very good, very smooth.”
Gu Heng listened to the heart relaxed, naturally took Gu Qingyuan’s hand, concerned: “sister eaten?”
“Not yet!”
“Then I’ll take sister to eat.”
“Okay.” Gu Qingyuan nodded her head and turned her eyes to look at Xiahou Jueyi and smiled lightly, “Husband, let’s go eat.”
Hearing Gu Qingyuan’s words, Gu Heng looked at Xiahou Jueyue and nodded slightly as a greeting, then looked at Gu Qingyuan and asked, “What does sister want to eat?”
“Anything if Heng’er invites me.”
“No problem, I’ll take sister to eat something delicious.” Gu Heng said and pulled Gu Qingyuan forward, however, just two steps away suddenly his hand was empty, frowned slightly, stopped his steps, turned his head, only to see Xiahou Juyi forcefully circling Gu Qingyuan around, looking at him with a clear and cold expression, “Your sister still has something to do.”
After saying that, he took Gu Qingyuan to turn around and go to the opposite place.
Murong Ye lifted his feet to follow him, but he was stopped strongly by Qi Yi, Murong Ye looked at this and raised his eyebrows, but did not continue to go forward, turned his head to look at Gu Heng who did not look very good, his eyes flashed with a fine light and said without thinking: “Xiahou Juyi is really annoying.”
Smiling, Gu Heng faintly glanced at Murong Ye, the corners of his mouth raised a faint smile, but said nothing, nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the teenager, Murong Ye showed a mild smile, interesting teenager, is he the brother of Stranger?
On the carriage, Gu Qingyuan held her chin, quietly looking at Xiahou Jueyi, the man looked no different, but the tight corners of the mouth showed that the man was in a very bad mood. I just don’t know what he cares about, is it Murong Ye’s address to her, his attitude towards her, or the words he said?
“Husband ……”
“Gu Qingyuan, do you miss the life of the sea?”
Both of them opened their mouths at the same time, Gu Qingyuan was slightly stunned after hearing Xiahou Juye’s words, and then said honestly: “I can’t say I miss it, I just think of it occasionally.”
When Gu Qingyuan spoke, Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes flashed with gloom, “The life in the Earl’s Mansion makes you feel depressed, does it?”
Smiling, Gu Qingyuan’s brow furrowed a little, “Xiahou Jueyi ……”
“If you feel that day that this life is like a cage, will you not leave this son’s side without any attachment and flee far away to go to that simple but easy day.” Xiahou Jueyi said with a cold and hard face.
“Xiahou Juejiu ……”
“What you originally like is that kind of life, everything now is forced by this son, how will you like it? Compared to the reckless fast in the sea that, now you must feel very depressed!” Xiahou Jueyi said with a tense expression.
“Xiahou Juyu ……” Gu Qingyuan opened her mouth to say something, but Xiahou Juyu suddenly flew away, looking at Xiahou Juyu’s back that disappeared like the wind, Gu Qingyuan’s eyes were tinged with helplessness, rubbing her eyebrows, it seems that Murong Ye’s words touched the taboo in the man’s heart. Thinking about it Gu Qingyuan sighed, Xiahou Juyue’s care for certain things, sensitivity, and insecurity can be so serious, which Gu Qingyuan did not expect.
I thought that her once unwillingness, fleeing, and perhaps the phrase retaining her heart. These past after becoming married, the man will no longer dwell on the past, will not have uncertainty. But now it seems that he has always cared, otherwise how could he feel forced, perhaps, Xiahou Jueyi’s heart has always had a sense of uncertainty, just always repressed, and she herself has never seen it!
Xiahou Jueyi is undoubtedly powerful, all people feel so, perhaps even she also ignores a lot of things because of his aura that can control everything. Gu Qingyuan slowly leaned on the car jade and closed her eyes, Xiahou Jueyi has a strong heart, but at the same time he is also very sensitive, he is also a normal person, he also has happiness, anger and sadness.
Thinking, Gu Qingyuan heart can’t help but spring up with guilt. It’s not easy to show emotions easily in a man’s mind? Or did she have a little less heart for him? Letting someone like Xiahou Juyue Yi be easily crushed by a few words from Murong Ye. Thinking of Xiahou Jueyi’s extremely insecure performance made Gu Qingyuan’s heart tighten and overflow with sourness! For the first time, she realized that she wished for too much, but did too little for Xiahou Jueyi. Was it because his status as the future emperor prevented her from giving unreservedly?
If so, she really did it wrong! No sobbing goodbye, no telling the final death. He is her husband, she is his wife, it’s that simple.
The life of a person is short, do you really need to spend too much energy to guess the answer? The actual fact is that you will be able to see the results of the day, and then look back and find that the banquet has been dispersed, everything has passed. When I waited for the answer, I realized that I had missed too many things, including the whole heart and soul that I hadn’t had time to give!
The actual fact is that you will not be able to say that the vow of embroidery because it may change, do not dare to give your whole heart and soul because it may be separated.
Li family.
Li Wing looked at Li Zhi with an uncertain expression and said in a low voice: “What did you just say?”
Li Zhi knelt in front of Li Yi, with a smile on his face and a firm look in his eyes, “Grandfather, the past, grandchildren no longer explore, and do not want to explore! However, for mother, although my grandson does not know the past, but in his heart he knows clearly that grandfather did not wrong her, she really did something wrong, in that case, she deserves to be chastised.”
“However, as mother’s son, my grandson only begs grandfather not to let father repudiate her. Let mother continue to retain the title of Lady Li.” Saying that, he turned his words and said, “However, grandson has already asked someone to choose the manor, before grandfather leaves, grandson will send mother away, until mother has thoroughly reflected and confessed her mistakes, and until grandfather has asked for permission, grandson will never take her back.”
Li Zhi said, looking at Li Yi’s uncertain look, he said with a straight face, “Grandfather, grandchildren have grown up and are at the age of starting a family, so I implore grandfather to find a suitable marriage for grandchildren. After mother leaves, there is her to manage the Li family backyard. As for mother, grandson will pay good respect to her and give her old age.”
Li Yi listened, Li Zhi’s meaning how he did not understand, he is to completely take away his mother’s feeder power, even if one day she came back, but the Li family is completely no room for her to interfere. The heart understands, the expression is uncertain, quietly looking at him, a long time before speaking, “Zhi’er, you have grown up.”
“Yes, my grandson has grown up. Sun’er will watch over the Li family well and not let anyone discredit the Li family anymore, nor discredit grandfather’s face. Please grandfather don’t worry too much, grandchildren only hope that grandfather can live a peaceful and joyful life in his old age.”
Li Yi listened and nodded uncontrollably, his eyes were full of relief, “Zhi’er, you can say these words, grandfather is very happy, very happy!”
“Sun’s son is ashamed, if Qing’er hadn’t nudged Sun’s son awake, I’m afraid Sun’s son would still be dwelling on the past and ignoring Grandfather’s mood.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yi was stunned, “Qing’er?”
“Yes, it’s Qing’er ……,” Li Zhi said what Gu Qingyuan had told him, to Li Yi.
After listening to Li Yi, there was pride and guilt in his eyes, and he looked at Li Zhi for a long time and said, “When grandfather leaves, ask Qing’er if you have any indecision.”
“Sun’er knows.”
Li Yi finished looking at him fixedly and said in a deep voice: “In the future, the Li family may also be faced with choices. But you remember, my Li family does not look at career, official positions, let alone wealth. Grandfather only wants you to protect Qing’er well.”
“Sun’er understands.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Li Zhi spoke a lot more with both Li Yi and until Li Yi was tired, Li Zhi left.
He left and went directly to Great Grandmother Li’s place, and entered the courtyard to see Sister Shu supporting his mother whose eyes were red, and his father who was standing with a frown on one side.
Li Zhi went forward and looked at Great Grandmother Li and said, “Where is Mother going?”
“Where can I go, I’m going to confess my sins to your grandfather, I’m going to think about your grandfather’s shame, isn’t that what you want?” Great Grandmother Li’s voice was full of gloomy hostility.
Li Zhi looked at Great Grandmother Li’s expression, and her tone of voice, and knew that her mother didn’t have the slightest intention of reflecting on herself. Li Zhi sighed, shook his head, and faintly said, “Since there is no heart of repentance, why should mother go?”
“What do you mean by that, Li Zhi?” Grandma Li snapped, annoyed.
“It means nothing. I just came to tell mother that she doesn’t need to go, I have already pleaded with grandfather, and grandfather has promised that he won’t let father repudiate mother.”
When Li Zhi’s words came out, Grandma Li looked at Li Zhi with wide eyes and disbelief, broke away from Sister Shu’s hand, excitedly pulled Li Zhi’s arm and trembled, “Zhi’er, is it true what you said? Your grandfather has really agreed, really?”
“Yes, really.”
The affirmative answer came out, Grandma Li’s eyes instantly filled with joy, surprised, said: “Zhi’er, you …… you are really mother’s good son, mother ……”
Li Zhuan looked at Li Zhi with uncertainty. Did father really agree?
“However, there is one condition.” Looking at Great Grandmother Li’s cheerful expression, Li Zhi spoke again.
“Condition? What condition?”
“You are still Mrs. Li, but you must leave the Li family.”
This word out, the great grandmother Li face smile suddenly froze, “Sh…… what do you mean?”
“My son has bought you a manor outside the city, from now on there is the mother’s landing place.”
“Manor? How long do I have to stay there?”
“Perhaps for a moment, perhaps for a lifetime, depending on your own reflective attitude, mother ……”
“Pa ……” Before Li Zhi finished his words, he was given a fierce slap by Great Grandmother Li with a raised hand.
Sister Shu exclaimed, “Grandma …… Grand Duke ……”
Li Zhuan was startled.
Great Grandmother Li stroked her heart, gasping for air, tears like rain, unable to accept, “I really did not expect that in the end it was my own son who expelled me from the family. Li Zhi, you are really my good son ……”
Li Zhi felt a hot stinging pain on his face, but his expression did not change a bit, just said lightly: “When my son is ready to send my mother over, usually nothing, my son and father will visit my mother. I just hope that my mother will take care of herself.” Said turned to leave.
“Li Zhi …… you unfilial son ……”
“Ah! Grandma, Grandma what happened to you, Grandma ……”
Sister Shu’s alarming cry made Li Zhi’s feet pause slightly, but he left the courtyard in big steps without turning back.
Li Zhuan looked at his son’s back, his eyes were full of complexity, his son seems to be different there, there is more of a verve in his body that he did not have, and his father withdrew the order, also because of his son’s change?
Earl’s residence.
Gu Qingyuan just entered the earl’s house, and was sensitive to the atmosphere in the house is very wrong. The entire atmosphere was tense, and every subordinate who saw her, saluted with trepidation and a frightened expression on their faces. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The boy’s body trembled slightly, his expression uncertain, said: “Back to …… back to the words of the world’s son consort, the servant does not dare to say.”
Hearing these words, Gu Qingyuan’s brow furrowed even tighter.
Ling Fei said in a cold voice: “Shizi Consort asked you words, why don’t you dare to say?”
“Shizi Fei redeems herself, Shizi Fei redeems herself, servant …… servant really does not dare to say ……” the little boy trembled.
“You ……” Ling Fei’s eyes overflowed with cold intent.
Gu Qingyuan slowly shook her head and faintly said: “Get up!”
“Thank you, Shizi Consort.” The boy heard the words like a pardon, got up, looked up at the back of Gu Qingyuan leaving, paused for a moment, suddenly lifted his feet up and spoke: “Shi Zi Fei.”
The first time I heard the sound, Gu Qingyuan turned her head, “What is it.”
The boy wanted to say something but hesitated for a moment before he said in an apprehensive whisper, “Master Shizi just got angry.”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. Just walked to the courtyard entrance, Mei Xiang hurriedly trotted to meet him, and without waiting for Gu Qingyuan to open his mouth, he said sharply, “Miss, Master Shizi just got angry.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The specific servant girl is not very clear, but probably know or that Chun Liu, she may get up again what crooked want to get close to the Prince, and the result made the Prince angry, ordered the Kiri want to kill her, and now the body is still on the edge of the pond, the Prince did not say, no one dared to move.” Said a breath, whispered: “is Zhou housekeeper was also the world’s son to the angry rebuke, now people are also kneeling at the pond.”
At these words, Gu Qingyuan’s eyes tightened, “Where is the World Master?”
“Slave servant is not very clear.”
Gu Qingyuan listened and rubbed her brow, “Guard the courtyard, if the World Prince returns, go and inform me.” After saying that, turned around and went over to the pond.
Ling Fei followed behind Gu Qing Yuan, her expression uncertain, how many years has the master not punished the subordinates in the house again. This time, he suddenly became so angry, I wonder what that Chun Liu has done again? The company’s main goal is to provide a solution to the problem.
Gu Qingyuan walked to the fish pond, saw a maid covered in blood lying there, the person has no breath, surrounded by several subordinates shivering kneeling on the side. The person kneeling in front of him was no other than the housekeeper Zhou.
Hearing footsteps, housekeeper Zhou looked up and saw that it was Gu Qingyuan, hung his head and kowtowed: “Old slave has seen Shizi Consort.”
“Get up!”
Hearing that, Housekeeper Zhou paused for a moment before he opened his mouth to thank his grace and got up.
“Do you know where the World Prince is?”
“Old slave doesn’t know.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan sighed, “Tidy up this place first!”
“Yes, Shizi Consort.”
Gu Qingyuan searched around the mansion, but could not find any trace of Xiahou Jueyi, his eyes overflowed with helplessness, it seemed that he could only wait for the man himself to come back.
Imperial Palace.
Wei Guifei heard the words of Nangong night, face gloomy, “your father really said that?”
“Yes, the father said, since the son did it to admit it, can not let people say that our royal debauchery but did not bear. So, let the son marry her.” Nangong night look very ugly said.
The Emperor even let his son marry the daughter of a minor fifth-ranking official. What does he mean by this? What kind of power can a small fifth-rank official bring to Night’s son? The emperor does not want Night’s son to gather strength, is he trying to suppress Night’s son? The first thing you need to do is to think about it.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. It’s really a firestorm, “Mother Consort, what now? The son really want to marry her?”
“Your father has already spoken, how can we not do as we are told.” Guifei Wei gritted her teeth and said.
“But if we let her be the main consort, my son will definitely be talked about.”
“Then what do you say? If you weren’t so careless, how would such a thing come out.” Guifei Wei couldn’t suppress the fire in her heart and said angrily.
When Nangong Night heard this, his face stiffened, somewhat embarrassed, “Since mother consort also thinks that my son is wrong, then my son will bear the burden himself, no need for mother consort to bother with the magic.” After saying that, turned around and left with big steps.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do. The eyes are full of disappointment, anxious ……
Liu Lin’er quietly standing in front of the window, looking out of the window, the face is a little pale, the whole person than in the past looks thin a lot. But the look is very calm, just look at the look of words, completely can not see the previous few days of the restaurant things have any impact on her.
However, the gloomy hostility in the eyes, as well as the dark hatred at the bottom of the eyes, let people look but can not help but be alarmed, more for a woman to have that kind of cold breath feel trembling. At the same time also let people explore, for what happened in the restaurant, Liu Lin’er her mentality.
At this time, a maid walked in, looking at Liu Liner’s weaker back eyes flashed something, followed by lifting his feet lightly step into, softly said: “Miss ……” heard the voice, Liu Liner did not turn around, a moment before opening his mouth, his voice with a hint of darkness. “What have you heard today?” “Slave servant secretly snooped around today. The rumors outside have changed from the beginning of two lovers who couldn’t help but meet in private at the restaurant. It has turned into ……”
“Turned into what?”
The girl listened to the words, the eyes overflowed with apprehension, the look is also a bit frightened, took a deep breath to stabilize the mind, before speaking “Now people outside are saying that it is ……. It is Miss seduced the second prince ……. And the reason why the second prince will make that indecent act, are because the young lady with a plan in the second prince to drink the tea put the drug in will be so. The girl said that in order to get on the second prince, in order to glory and wealth, anything can be given up, what despicable means are used …… “maid words finished, head hanging low, the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound, lest the miss under the anger, her fate and those talkative maids, the same, by the miss to beat the The flesh and blood is blurred. Even death is not a whole body.
Liu Lin’er heard the maid’s words, her face raised a twisted smile. She seduced the second prince? It was her shamelessness that did it? It was her greed for vanity and greed that caused this? Ohhhh ……. Perhaps there are even more difficult to hear, the girl has not dared to say it all! In this way, that ugly thing in the restaurant, can be her fault, the second prince was only momentarily confused to make a mistake. So, it’s easy for a shameless person like her to be dipped in a pig cage! The death is even better, deserved. The royal people are really ruthless, it is clear that everything is the second prince’s desire to ruin her, but now everything is put on her head. The people of the city have no regard for her life and death! Perhaps, in their hearts, they would like her to die right now! That way, the second prince’s scandal can be slowly melted away this time.
Even if you know that those rumors are the trickery of Wei Guifei and Nangong Night, but do not dare to fight back with the same way. At this time she does not even dare to say a word more. This is the power of power, and her tragedy ……. However, if they thought they could force her to die by doing this, they really planned wrong. She is not going to die, absolutely not. Since they have ruined her life, she will spend the rest of her life to retaliate, all, she will never die, she will live well ……. Live well. “Lin’er, Lin’er …… ,” suddenly a high-pitched voice came, breaking the oppressive, dullness in the room. The maid was startled by the sudden voice, looked up, and saw that Great Grandmother Liu reversed the sadness and grief of the previous days, crying bitter face expression, and turned to a cheerful joy. The girl looked at the girl in amazement, what kind of heavenly good thing is there, let the great grandmother so joyful. Liu Lin’er turned around and looked at Great Grandmother Liu with an indifferent look, “What is it?” “Lin’er, you were made the second prince consort, not a concubine, not a side consort, but a proper consort, a proper consort ……,” said Great Grandmother Liu, pulling Liu Lin’er excitedly. At that, Liu Lin’er’s eyes overflowed with surprise, and then her brow furrowed, surprisingly the main concubine?
The girl is also astonished, on the eldest miss such reputation was actually named as the main consort? It was too unexpected. “Lin’er, this is really great. I was right when I said you were destined to be blessed, now you are really turning a disaster into a happy one. ……” Grandma Liu said joyfully. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. “It was Sister Qian, who is beside Consort Wei, who personally came to deliver the message. She said that we should prepare to go to pay respect to Your Lady in two days.”
Liu Lin’er looked puzzled upon hearing this? Grandma Liu saw that her daughter’s face did not look happy at all, the smile on her face slightly converged and she said suspiciously, “What’s wrong with you, Lin’er? Are you not happy?”
“Happy? I am a person whose reputation is nearly destroyed, is there anything to be happy about?” Liu Lin’er sneered. “Lin’er how can you say such a thing! You are the second prince’s person now, the future second prince’s concubine, that is the royal person, is the golden person. Although now there are some voices that slander you, but I believe that when your identity is set those people outside will definitely not dare to say a word, will only think of how to flatter you, envy you, jealous of you.”
The first time I saw you, I was very impressed. So, don’t say things like that to belittle yourself, okay?” Liu Lin’er heard a cold smile, honorable? Yes! The identity of the Crown Princess sounds very noble. And although those people no longer dare to say anything, but at the bottom of their hearts, I’m sure none of them think of themselves. The most important thing is that the identity of the imperial concubine is really Wei Guifei and Nangong Night sincerely willing to give her? A ruined reputation, and family status, they let her live is good, how will give her the position of the main family?
But, if it was not given voluntarily, but had to be given. Then, Liu Lin’er can already envision how her future days will be.
Once that Murong Yue is not a ready-made example? Thinking, Liu Lin’er looked at her mother who was full of joy, her eyes were full of gloom, deep cold …….
Earl’s House
Xiahou Jueyi began to play missing from the midday, Gu Qingyuan waited until noon and did not wait for the man who had a temper to come back. Until the evening time, Qi Qi appeared in front of Gu Qingyuan. However, the trademark fox smile on his face was gone, and he looked as if he had lost his mother, and his face was full of bitterness, which made people feel that he was bitter! Very bitter ah!
“The son consort!” The voice of Qi Qi is also bitter.
Gu Qing Yuan looked at the expression of Qi肆 almost crying raised eyebrows, what flashed in the eyes, and then faintly said: “Well”
“The Prince told the servant to come back to inform the Prince Consort, he is very busy these days, probably can not come back. Let the princess not wait for him to rest early.”
The first thing you need to do is to look at Gu Qingyuan with a certain expectation.
Gu Qingyuan sighed in her heart as she listened, and after a moment of silence, she spoke, “Okay, I understand.”
Gu Qingyuan’s answer, so that the qi肆 face are wrinkled, but do not dare to say more, eyes baba look at gu qing yuan, “then, subordinate first farewell.”
“Good.”
Kir肆 slowly turned around and left with his head hanging.
“Qi肆…….”
Gu Qingyuan’s voice rose. Qi肆 blinked and came in front of him, compared to the speed of leaving just now was an extreme contrast, Qi肆 eyes crystal bright looking at Gu Qingyuan, “Shi Zi Fei, but what is the order?”
Looking at Qi Xuan’s reaction, Gu Qingyuan smiled lightly and instructed, “Let the World Prince pay attention to rest, pay attention to your body not to get tired. Take good care of His Highness.”
When Gu Qingyuan’s words came out, the bright light in Qi Xuan’s eyes disappeared and he hung his head helplessly, “Yes, my subordinate will definitely take good care of His Highness.”
“Mm! Go!”
“Yes!” Qi肆 turned around, his heart began to get timid, if he brought these words to the World Master. I wonder if the training behind will be doubled again. Oooh …… he so sympathized with himself, however, looking at so many people in so many barracks who were also affected by the master’s anger and were worse off than him, he felt so excited again. He is so torn …….
Qi Qi left, Gu Qingyuan looked at the empty and silent room and sighed, most of the time when someone is there is also silent and does not say much. The house is also quiet, but never makes people feel silent. Everywhere in the room seems to have his figure, and he also seems to be by her side at all times …….
The corner of Gu Qingyuan’s mouth raised a faint smile, sigh, it turns out that certain things unknowingly, when she did not notice has seeped into the heart, trust, dependence, but also for the first time understand the thoughts, and the sweet and sour beauty. Perhaps, there is also she thought she knew, but in fact, but only now feel the ignorance of his like, and love ……. There is no doubt …….
Ling Fei quietly watched Gu Qingyuan on the side, listened to the words of the qi wanton, heart sure that something must have happened between the master and the Shizi Consort. Otherwise, the master would definitely not suddenly not come back. But, now look at the look of the Shizi Consort ……. Ling Fei do not know how to describe it, as if there is a faint thoughts entwined, and like the first days of love kind of heart, beautiful ……. Hazy and warm beauty ……
military camp
Xiahou Jueyi listened to the report back from Qi Qi, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his body emitted cold air. However, the eyes are deeply frustrated, he endured a day did not go back, is hoping to see that girl in his absence, can show a trace of missing him, or not! But …… can that ruthless girl, surprisingly not even a word to let him go back ……. Did that girl really believe that he was busy?
Thinking about this, Xiahou Jueyi’s frustrated color is even more, should he be happy with Gu Qingyuan’s total trust? However, he could not be happy at all. Now, he even has a feeling of being trapped once again, starting to wonder if he has done wrong again this time, if he has been too caring and too careful? Shouldn’t he have been crushed by a few words from Murong Ye and started to suspect that Gu Qingyuan would leave him. Is this considered mistrust on his part? Or was he too calculating about the past?
Maybe it’s really cautious! But, he just doesn’t like all the people or things that can distract Gu Qingyuan’s mind, except him of course! At the same time, he is also very disgusted with those who have the same thoughts about Gu Qingyuan as he does, so if you ask who he dislikes the most now, it is definitely Murong Ye, Qi Yichen! And Gu Heng!
But Gu Qingyuan seems to be different from him, she knows that Nangong Ying is interested in him, she began to avoid him. However, this was before the marriage and he knew she didn’t like him, so that’s fine! But when she followed him back to Hao Yue and expressed her willingness to spend her life with him, she did not react at all when she heard those words of Gu Qing Su. Not even a hint of dislike, not even a hint of annoyance. In comparison, if someone had said that to him, even if he knew it wasn’t true, he would have wanted to kill that person.
And that maid in the house, she must know that too! And what kind of mind that maid waved in front of him, with her intelligence must also know, but she did not say a word about the same, not to mention chastising that maid, she did not even ask him a word.
These, every time I think about it, it feels as if he is nothing in Gu Qing Yuan’s heart, even if she and he are married, but that sense of uncertainty has never gone away. Many times I wonder if that girl never trusted him, if she still retains her heart as she once said?
Qi Qi looked at Xiahou Jueyi’s fickle expression and couldn’t help but gently take a step backward.
Imperial Palace
The queen’s mouth contained an icy smile, although the matter of Nangong Yu made her very stifled. But this time the matter of Nangong night, especially the emperor’s holy will, but let her heart very painful. Nangong night make a fool of themselves may be a moment, but the emperor’s attitude but decided a lot of things. Wei Guifei she even if the struggle, and then favored, and then to be strong. But her son is not worthy, and disliked by the emperor. Then, all her efforts are in vain.
Although I do not want to admit, but, Nangong night performance and Nangong Yu is really half a catty, in this regard, as a mother, she really and Wei Guifei same life pity. However, she is better than Wei Guifei life, she has a Nangong Ling, and is the rightful heir to the throne. So, what can she compare with herself, she can afford to compare? The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. In the end, it is just a momentary clown.
“Your Majesty …….”
Hearing the voice the empress raised her eyes, saw Sister Zhang, rose slightly and whispered: “Who did the emperor send to Lingsheng, can the grand prince find out?”
“Yes, the Grand Emperor has confirmed.” Sister Zhang said after a pause and said, “It is Liu Xuezhou.”
Liu Xuezhou three words out, the empress’s face suddenly sank, the light pleasure in the eyes just now faded away, turned to a cold and piercing ice cold. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
The most heartless emperor’s family, is that she is also completely corrupted, husband and wife love, mother and son love, as if long forgotten that intimacy, the feeling of bloodline connection! I think, a cold smile, so, how can she hope that the emperor will think about the love of father and son, and tolerate Nangong night! Now how the result depends on Nangong Night’s own destiny.
Li family
“I thought that you were just talking about letting Mother leave, but I didn’t expect you to really do that.” Li Hong looked at Li Zhi with a hint of indignation and unacceptability in his eyes, “Are you really my big brother? Are you really Mother’s son? How can you be so cruel.”
When Li Zhi heard Li Hong’s words, a trace of bitterness spilled out of his eyes, but it was instantly concealed and he only said lightly, “This is just cause and effect, if mother hadn’t done something wrong, she wouldn’t have this result today.”
Li Zhi words out, Li Hong eyes widened, annoyed: “Li Zhi you also believe that mother she did something wrong to aunt? Is that how you see our mother?”
“If mother didn’t do it, why didn’t she defend herself for a moment or two, why didn’t she justify herself and tell grandfather that she didn’t do anything? Li Hong, I think you should be clear about how mother’s temperament is like.” Li Zhi said indifferently.
At these words, Li Hong choked and was speechless for a moment, he certainly understood how his mother was. The mother’s temperament seems soft, but her eyes can not allow a little sand, if the grandfather really wronged her, she will not keep silent. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Also ……. And not allow her to return to the Li family, you are really doing too much.”
“Who is right and who is wrong, who can really get clear, the way to understand it!” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Perhaps, the mother’s seemingly cruel punishment, for what she did compared to such punishment is considered light!
“By the way, today mother left, how come I did not see Xue’er?” Li Hong suddenly remembered and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Li Zhi turned his head and looked at the maid beside Li Xue, “What’s going on?”
“Back to the words of the Grand Duke, the Second Duke. First Miss she said, she made such a big mistake to involve the madam, she has no face to see the madam. Moreover, she didn’t want the minister to see her heart upset, so she didn’t come to see her off, and asked the servant to see her off on her behalf.” The maid hurriedly reported back, with fear and anxiety in her eyes.
At these words, Li Zhi’s complexion was condensed and his eyes were dark.
Hearing this, Li Hong’s brow furrowed tightly and said sternly, “Let a maid deliver it? Li Xue, this dead girl, she is really filial!” Said, looked at Li Zhi said, “Big brother so, sister so, I really do not know what you guys really think?” Said a cold snort, turned around and left.
Li Zhi turned his eyes to look at the maid and said, “Is Miss in the room?”
“Yes.”
Hearing this, Li Zhi turned around and walked in big steps towards Li Xue’s courtyard.
Earl’s House
In the morning, Gu Qingyuan Shen looked at the meal in front of her and sighed, the man had been away from home for three days. In addition to the first day to send a message to the Kiri, no longer a word to come. The man can’t get over the hurdle in his heart, and can’t find a suitable step, such as the man’s twisted nature, really don’t know when to take the initiative to show up.
Thinking, Gu Qingyuan stroked her cherry lips, her eyes slightly narrowed. Although Xiahou Jueyi has not shown up these three days, she always felt that he had come back, when she was asleep, once.
The first day, she hazily seemed to smell the unique grass fragrance on his body. When she woke up, she thought it was an illusion, a dream. But the next day, the smell reappeared, and, in a trance, she felt that someone had kissed her. And today, she was sure that someone had kissed her secretly and then lightly bit her in anger, and the slight tingling on her lips could prove that she was definitely not having an aphrodisiac dream.
Thinking of this, raised her eyes to look at Ling Fei beside her, “Ling Fei.”
“Slave servant is here.”
“Can you feel any strange movement in the past few days?”
Ling Fei heard, raised his head, eyes wide open looking at Gu Qing Yuan, said: “slave servant did not notice.”
Gu Qing Yuan heard, and then look at Ling Fei’s expression mouth crooked a little, this girl, the mouth said no, but that look in the eyes are impatient to express, there, there! Such an expression, so that Gu Qing Yuan cried and laughed, if the word typing, it is obvious that Ling Fei to express the heart and mouth is not one.
However, so also sure, that is not her illusion, the man is really back!
“Ling Fei, it seems that the World Prince has also been away from home for several days!”
“Yes, the World Prince has been away from home for three days.”
“Hmm! Three days is a long time. Perhaps, I should go to …….”
Before Gu Qingyuan could finish her words, Ling Fei hurriedly responded, “It’s definitely time for Shizi Consort to go and see Shizi Master.” Ling Fei finished and sighed, if the Shizi Consort doesn’t show up again, Qi Qi can really cry.
Gu Qingyuan listened to raise his eyebrows, silent for a moment, said: “But, the military camp important place does not seem to allow women to go in ah!”
Listen to the words, Ling Fei frown, the son consort if openly into the military camp is really some inappropriate. But now, in addition to the son concubine, who can not save the Qi commander and the soldiers of the camp that deep water life it! Ling Fei torn ……
“Ling Fei, you go get me a men’s suit to go.”
Gu Qing Yuan words out, Ling Fei eyes lit up, hurriedly said: “Yes, slave servant this will go.” After saying this, she disappeared in front of Gu Qingyuan.
Gu Qingyuan looked at shaking her head, but her mood was very good, today’s task to bring back her husband who had left home.
Not long after, Ling Fei returned with a set of white men’s clothing. Handing it to Gu Qingyuan, she said with some excitement, “Slave servant will change for Shizi now.”
Gu Qingyuan listened and stared, “Do you think it’s appropriate for me to go out in men’s clothing right now and walk around the house?”
Ling Fei heard a choke, then some embarrassment said, “Slave servant is a little thoughtless.”
“Go out in the carriage and change again in the car!”
“Yes, Shizi Consort. Then slave servant will have the boy prepare the carriage.”
“Good.” Gu Qingyuan nodded her head.
Before Ling Fei turned around and left, she saw Mei Xiang walking briskly and looked at Gu Qingyuan and reported, “Shizi Consort, the Grand Princess, the youngest grandmother and the county princess are here.” The old lady also sent a message to say that she would bring the three concubine ladies to visit Concubine Consort.”
At that word, Gu Qingyuan brow inadvertently wrinkled, it seems that this morning is not able to get out.
Gu family
The matter of going to the Earl’s House, the old lady had someone greet the two concubines the first night. Following that, on the day of going to the earl’s residence, the two concubines were busy before dawn. The two were busy explaining how to pick up their daughter’s dress oh, busy explaining how to talk to their daughter and how to react when they arrived at the earl’s residence. Both of them are doing the same thing, but the focus is a little different.
He is holding an exquisitely crafted, beautifully styled and luxurious dress. Her face raised a joyful smile, looking at Gu Yun’er said: “Yun’er you will wear this dress today.”
“Mother, you want to wear it today?” Gu Yun’er reached out and gently stroked the gorgeous dress in He’s hand, her eyes full of joy and a bit uncertain, “But will it be too obvious – give away our minds. Let Gu Qingyuan look at it and become wary of me?”
“Silly daughter, even if you don’t wear this dress, Gu Qingyuan will like you?”
Gu Yun’er listened somewhat uncertainly, “Why doesn’t she like me?”
He looked at her daughter’s uncertain look and caressed her delicate flower-like face, saying softly, “Yun’er, when you were in Li Cheng, you and Hu’s two daughters were both concubine daughters, but why did Gu Qingya and Gu Qingshu not tolerate you, targeting you in everything and always looking for you to get into trouble? And your father has a higher regard for you than the two concubine daughters, do you know why?”
He said, not waiting for Gu Yun’er’s response, coldly snorted: “Gu Qingya, the reason why Gu Qingsu can’t allow you. It’s because you’re prettier than them, and you’ve outshined them all. The reason why your father values you is because you have good color. The reason why your father values you is because you have good color. He wants you to marry well and bring in people who are good for him!”
Gu Yun’er’s face did not show a trace of surprise, not to mention surprise, but only frowned and said: “Mother, I know all that you said. But will Gu Qingyuan also dislike me because of my daughter’s appearance? My daughter heard that she is also very beautiful!”
“Pretty? Did you hear this from the subordinates in the house?”
Gu Yun’er nodded her head, “Yes!”
He’s eyes overflowed with mockery, “Gu Qingyuan is now the son’s concubine, those servants in the house can’t wait to flatter her, they will not say a word against her. And you and I have never met Gu Qingyuan, so who knows if what they say is true or not?”
Gu Yun’er listened thoughtfully, “Xiahou Shizi can marry Gu Qingyuan as the main consort, I think she will not be bad looking.”
“This is also true, but even if she looks good, can compare to you? Yun’er on your looks, body, in the Li Li City when there are few women can compare to you. I believe that in this capital city Yun’er is also absolutely outstanding. And women are jealous at heart, Gu Qingyuan saw you who is even more outstanding than her, can she like you?” He said with a straight face.
At these words, Gu Yun’er looked uncertain, looking at Gu Qingya and Gu Qingsu’s attitude towards her, Gu Yun’er frowned, maybe Gu Qingyuan would not really like her. Thinking, sighing in her heart, stroking her cheek and sighing, is it also wrong for her to be long and beautiful?
“Yun’er, since Gu Qingyuan is not destined to like you, then why should we hide and tuck it away! Besides, it’s not easy for us to enter the Earl’s Mansion once, so it’s even more important not to miss it so easily, to seize the opportunity to show ourselves well, the important thing is to let Xiahou Shizi see your beauty, let him be fascinated by you, let him accept you into the Earl’s Mansion is the most important thing.” He said deeply and wisely.
Gu Yun’er heard He’s that straightforward words, can’t help but the shy red cheeks, very embarrassed said: “Mother, look at what you said ……”
Looking at her daughter’s shy, but even more moving and lovable appearance, He could not help but sigh, such a pair of flowers and moon beauty but unfortunately was born into her own belly. If she had been born into Li Jiao’s belly, then the Earl’s son consort would not have gotten her turn to be Gu Qingyuan. The position of the son’s concubine belongs to her own daughter.
However, Gu Yun’er has a concubine birth mother like her, perhaps she is unfortunate. But on the contrary, she has such a beautiful daughter as Gu Yun’er, is her biggest capital to turn around. As long as Yun’er can enter the earl’s house, then she will be the main family. At that time, their mother and daughter is considered a win-win!
Thinking about it, He’s eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement and she said eagerly, “Yun’er, hurry up and change, let mother give you a nice hair bun and dress up properly.”
“Okay.” Gu Yun’er picked up her clothes and turned around to enter the inner room, with anticipation in her eyes as well.
On the other side, Hu looked at a properly dressed one daughter and nodded, “Not ostentatious, not shabby, very good.”
Gu Ren’er pulled the clothes on her body and said with some displeasure, “Auntie, we are going to the Earl’s residence today, is it really appropriate to wear this?”
“It is because we are going to the Earl’s residence that we want you to dress like this.” Hu said lightly, “Today is the day that the mother and daughter have been looking forward to for a long time, from what I know about her. I know her well. Today Gu Yun’er will definitely dress up, shine brightly, and appear in a beautiful way. And, you do not look as good as her, so why bother to steal the limelight! She wants us to be a green leaf, then we will be a peaceful green leaf to her as she wants.”
Gu Ren’er was even more displeased, and even said with a hint of annoyance, “Aunt, are you really that afraid of that He? You are a concubine just like her. Moreover, you also gave birth to a brother, shouldn’t you have more strength than her? But why do you always have to be inferior to her, always obeying her orders and listening to her arrangements? Because you are so weak, you see that He has become more and more arrogant since she came to the capital. She’s been shouting at you, even taking on the role of a proper wife.”
He heard Gu Ren’er’s angry, almost reprimanding words, not at all angry, but reveals a smile, “Ren’er, to deal with He’s I have plenty of ways, just one can kill her, only I do not want to do that.”
At these words, Gu Ren’er is not sure, very puzzled, amazed and uncertain, “Why? Auntie why not deal with her?”
“Oh, she and I are both concubines, even if we are more powerful, we can still go beyond the Zeng clan! In Zeng’s eyes, we are both thorns in her eyes. Therefore, I have never thought of going up or down with He. On the contrary, I hope He can live longer. After all, having her as a fool rampaging in front of us is the only way to keep Zeng from having much experience to deal with me, the concubine who gave birth to her son and can threaten her.”
“Frankly speaking, because of her but let me reduce a lot of crisis. And you also because of that outstanding-looking Gu Yun’er in front of the block, only to let Gu Qingya, Gu Qingsu less trouble to find you.”
The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
The main thing is that I don’t want Zeng to think that you are a threat to her daughter. The main thing is that I don’t want her to think that you are a threat to her daughter, so that she will think of ways to deal with you and ruin you. I was ready to see what Zeng would do to them, but I didn’t expect Zeng to die early. I was a little disappointed to let them escape.”
“Auntie, what about now? Zeng and Gu Qingya, Gu Qingsu they are all gone, what are we still worrying about, wouldn’t it be better to just get rid of Hu and Gu Yun’er, save them from threatening us.” Gu Ren’er looked calm as she spoke harsh words.
And Hu’s face did not change in the slightest at her daughter’s words, and there was even a hint of praise in her eyes, “Auntie naturally has a reason for doing this. You wait and see, the more complacent she is at this time, the more miserable she will die later.”
Gu Ren’er listened to all the thoughts, “Auntie, is there any use for them?”
“Oh, Ren’er is smart.” Hu praised.
Hu’s praise made Gu Ren’er smile.
Looking at her daughter’s happy look, she laughed lightly, “If they didn’t still have any use, I would have done away with her on the way to the capital, I wouldn’t have allowed her to return to the Gu family at all, let alone let her ride on my head, and the reason I kept them ……”
Before Hu’s words were finished, Gu Ren’er said sharply, “Aunt, you don’t say anything first, let my daughter guess first.”
“Good, huh ……”
“When she was in Li Cheng, aunt used them to block the trouble to divert the attention of Zeng and Gu Qing Su and Gu Qing Ya. Then this time in the Gu family, is it using them to deal with Old Lady Gu’s spite?” Gu Ren’er said seriously.
Gu Ren’er finished, Hu shook her head, sighing in her heart, her daughter is smart but still too young, not enough experience, not long enough to see ah!
Seeing Hu shake her head, Gu Ren’er frowned and said: “What’s wrong? But what my daughter said is not right?”
“No, what you think is also correct. It’s just too superficial.”
“Is there another use for them?” Gu Ren’er did not understand.
“Of course, they have a big use.” Hu smiled mysteriously.
“What is it? Auntie you tell me ……”
Gu Ren’er words, a crisp young girl’s voice came, “Tell you what ah? Ren’er you again pestered aunt to ask what questions?”
Hearing the voice, Gu Ren’er, Hu looked up. A young girl of about forty-five years of age with a beautiful appearance walked in, the girl’s appearance is not very beautiful, and Gu Yun’er alone is a big difference, but has a pair of very beautiful eyes. Almond eyes eyes, pupils like ink, black and white, double pupils cut water bright as glazed. Looking at, you will hugely find this pair of eyes and Gu Qingyuan’s very similar.
“Xin’er you’re here.” Looking at her eldest daughter, Hu smiled and said.
“Sister.” Gu Ren’er got up and pulled Gu Xin’er to pout, “I’m pestering aunt there, I’m discussing very important topics with aunt.”
Gu Xin’er pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out to nod Gu Ren’er’s forehead, laughing, “What important issues can you discuss with this little head!”
Gu Ren’er heard, mouth beamed, unhappy said: “sister, but you do not underestimate me, aunt just praised me smart! If you don’t believe me, ask your aunt.”
“Really? My sister is still smart!” Gu Xin’er said in surprise.
Hearing Gu Xin’er’s obvious teasing tone, she let go of her arm and looked at Hu’s disobedience, “Auntie, look at sister, she bullied me.”
Looking at the two daughters laughing, Hu’s eyes were full of love and said with a smile, “Well, you are so old, why are you still acting like a child! Come, sit down, auntie has something to say to you.”
“Okay.” The two girls obediently sat down in front of Hu.
“Auntie, what were you talking about?” Gu Xin’er whispered softly.
Before Hu could answer, Gu Ren’er told Gu Xin’er what she had just said to Hu.
Gu Xin’er listened, nodded her head, and smiled softly, “I already knew all this.”
“Sister has known it for a long time? Auntie, did you tell her?”
“There’s no need to say that! Only you, a little fool, would need to be reminded by your aunt to understand.” Gu Xin’er laughed lightly.
“Sister is laughing at me again.” Gu Ren’er said discontentedly.
“Oh ……” Gu Xin’er smiled lightly, turned to look at Hu and said with a straight face, “However, my daughter also can’t understand, what else does that He and Gu Yun’er have to use?”
Hu glanced at them and said in a low voice, “Do you know what your father’s real purpose is in having us come back to the capital?”
“Isn’t it to serve the old lady? Is there another reason?” Gu Xin’er said with a gaze.
“Oh, it would be good if your father was really such a filial person. Unfortunately, he is not.” Hu’s eyes were filled with mockery, “His real purpose is just to use us as pawns against Gu Qingyuan!”
At these words, Gu Xin’er and Gu Ren’er were shocked.
Gu Xin’er looked uncertain and said, “Aunt, where does this come from? Moreover, Gu Qingyuan is now the Earl’s son consort, how could father want to go against her?”
“That would have to start with Zeng’s death.”
Upon hearing that, Gu Xin’er was stunned and then said, “Could her death be related to Gu Qingyuan.”
Her daughter’s perceptiveness made Hu satisfied, “Not bad.”
“Auntie, tell us quickly, what is this all about?” Gu Ren’er said impatiently.
Hu recalled what her son had told her about what had happened between Gu Qingyuan and Zeng after he followed Gu Tianyuan to the capital, and told Gu Xin’er and Gu Ren’er about it without missing a beat.
After saying that, the two of them were stunned, their hearts were horrified that such a thing had happened, it was unimaginable!
The reason for this is that this is the reason why my father has a gnashing of teeth when he mentions my mother.”
Gu Xin’er’s eyes narrowed slightly, her expression uncertain, “through such a crisis, Gu Qing Yuan is still alive, can only say that if she is not lucky ah! She fell off the cliff and didn’t die.” After saying that, his brow wrinkled, “But, Gu Qingyuan’s face is scarred, how would Xiahou Shizi want her?”
“I heard, at first was left a scar, but, later seems to be healed.”
Gu Xin’er listened to what flashed in her eyes and murmured: “So it really makes people want to explore ah!”
“However, now that Gu Qingyuan is the Shizi Consort, father he really intends to use us against her? This …… this seems too unrealistic!” Gu Ren’er said in a deep voice.
“Oh, we are all women, of course we can’t use force.” Gu Xin’er said and paused for a moment, a fine light flashed in her eyes and raised her eyes to look at Hu, “It’s Gu Yun’er.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Ren’er was a little unclear.
“Does father want to use Gu Yun’er’s beauty to lure Xiahou Shizi?” Gu Xin’er said with a straight face.
Gu Ren’er’s eyes widened as Gu Xin’er’s words came out.
Hu nodded and looked at Gu Xin’er with increasing satisfaction, “Not bad, what came was that your father once gave He bait, saying: as long as Gu Yun’er could enter the Earl’s House, he would help her become the main family.”
“What? Let her be the main family? How can this be ……,” Gu Ren’er exclaimed.
Gu Xin’er looked at Gu Ren’er’s unbelievable look and sneered, “Ren’er you don’t have to be so excited. Father said such words, but do you think He and Gu Yun’er will get their way? Even Zeng, Gu Qingya and Gu Qingsu are no match for Gu Qingyuan. How can they have the ability to deal with Gu Qingyuan? They are too whimsical. In my opinion, father only wants them to use their lives to add to Gu Qingyuan’s problems!
The first thing you should do is to look at Hu and say, “That’s why mother said that we should be Gu Yun’er’s green leaves!”
“Haha, not bad, Xin’er said it well. Then, have you ever thought of the reason why I left them behind?” Hu said with anticipation in her eyes.
“Father let us come to the capital, that means he this is abandoning us, our life and death he no longer cares at all. Since father is so unmindful of the love between father and daughter, and the love of sharing a bed with aunt, then, why should we care about him!”
Gu Xin’er said grimly, “He wants to use us to deal with Gu Qingyuan. In my daughter’s opinion, we might as well defect to Gu Qingyuan, buy Gu Qingyuan a good deal, and land in the capital for our own benefit. Anyway, as long as there is Gu Qingyuan around and that past of Zeng’s, father may not return to the capital in this life, following that, how to make a better life for ourselves is the most important thing.”
After Gu Xin’er finished speaking, Gu Ren’er’s eyes widened and Hu’s eyes shone crystal bright. Her daughter really did not let her down, she was destined to be a great success with this heart. As long as there was a chance, Hu was convinced.
Earl’s House
“Princess, Eldest Sister-in-law, Sheriff, please have some tea.” Gu Qingyuan looked at the three people in front of her and smiled.
“Good.” The Grand Princess smiled lightly and picked up the cup and took a light sip.
Xia Zhuran sipped the tea in her hand and sighed in admiration, “Brother sister’s tea here, it’s really good.”
Hearing the words, Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, she didn’t want to think much about it. However, these words sounded as if they were saying that the Earl’s Mansion’s things were better than the Princess’ Mansion’s? There was a sense of twisting. The first time I looked at the tea in my hand, I was embarrassed to say: “Eldest sister-in-law has overpraised me. I regret that I am not a tea taster, but I have wasted this tea.”
You are the one who said it is good or bad, I can’t taste it. Naturally, I can’t evaluate your authenticity either. Not to mention that the Earl’s House tea is good.
Gu Qingyuan words out, the eldest princess eyes overflowed with a trace of inexplicable smile, put down the cup in her hand, turned her eyes to look at Xia Zhuran, faintly said: “Since when do you also know how to taste tea?”
Hearing the words of the first princess, Xia Zhuran perhaps also realized in her heart that her words just now were a bit inappropriate, and said sheepishly: “Daughter-in-law knows there, but, just want to pretend to be elegant in front of younger sister.” Said looking at Gu Qingyuan, embarrassed, “sister-in-law, in fact, I do not know tea as you do.”
Gu Qingyuan listened to the heart laugh, really want more is not her alone. But the face is very surprised said: “Really? First cousin sister-in-law also does not know?”
“Yes, I am also a do not understand.” I thought my sister-in-law must be a know-it-all. I didn’t want my sister-in-law to laugh at me, so I told a big story, but I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to be a half-assed person like me. I am not as honest as my sister-in-law.” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. But then I thought, if the princess asked me what kind of tea this is, then I would really be dumbfounded. Hesitated a bit, I just said the truth, huh ……”
Gu Qing Yuan words out, a room of people can not help but laugh. Xia Zuolan laughed especially cheerful. The first princess also felt very funny said: “I did not expect you two sisters-in-law resemble each other is this side, you say, let me say what you good!”
Xiahou Suo lightly laughed: “Mother, this is the so-called not a family does not see a family right!”
The Grand Princess sighed and glanced at Xiahou Shuo, “Yes! Do not know how to taste tea there is a you, you really family. On the contrary, I know a little bit, but in front of you it seems superfluous, and you do not fit in. What kind of reason is that?”
The first princess’s helpless and unreasonable look made the laughter in the room rise again, and even the maids couldn’t help but laugh softly.
Gu Qing Yuan smiled, took a sip of the sweet and fragrant tea in her hand, really good tea. Really happy, peaceful family. However, this scene and she just said do not understand the same, are the appearance and is not sure how long can maintain the illusion.
After laughing and getting to the point, the first princess spoke: “Qing’er, in fact, we came here today mainly for the old marquis’ birthday banquet.”
At that word, Gu Qingyuan quickly put down the cup in her hand, her eyes innocently and absolutely respectfully looked at the Grand Princess, with a look of completely waiting for orders, “Please speak, Princess.”
Gu Qingyuan’s well-behaved appearance, but let the first princess eyes slightly shrink but instantly restore affinity, mildly said: “In the early years, we are not in the capital, the marquis’s birthday banquet is prepared by Jiu Yi. And, each time is very well prepared marquis is also very happy. So, this birthday banquet is more appropriate to follow Jueyi’s idea. And we! Listen to Juyu Yi’s order, play the hand, do a filial piety, but also incidentally to get the experience. Let us work together as a family to make the marquis’ banquet a good one. What do you think?”
Gu Qingyuan listened to nodded repeatedly, “The princess said yes, we must make the marquis’ birthday banquet, just ……”
Gu Qingyuan’s words have not finished, Xia Zuolan has taken over, happy said: “so it is really great, then we will wait for Jue Yu cousin’s orders. If there is anything that needs to be prepared, just let the boy know.” After saying this, she looked at the Grand Princess and exclaimed, “Mother, this is really the best of both worlds.”
The Grand Princess raised a smile on her face and nodded her head.
Xiahou Suo heard but disapproved, “Mother, it seems inappropriate to let the boy come! Otherwise, I’ll wait here! If brother Yi has any orders, I will convey them.” Said looking towards Gu Qingyuan, “Of course, if cousin sister-in-law doesn’t mind me disturbing here.”
The Grand Princess nodded at that, “You are right, it is me who is a bit thoughtless. What do you think, Qing’er?”
Gu Qingyuan listened to the first princess, Xia Zuolan and Xia Housuo’s one-two punch, her face remained unchanged, but in her heart she couldn’t help but sneer, letting Xia Houjuyi do it, ordering the first princess, an elder of honorable status, to command Xia Housuo, the county princess’ cousin. Xiahou Juyu Yi is powerful, but that in the eyes of outsiders does not seem too arrogant, arrogant?
Thinking of this, sigh, face with shame said: “The princess does not know, in previous years, the husband to do the marquis birthday banquet, in fact, the heart is very bottomless. And the birthday banquet in previous years, the princess also saw, although the birthday banquet is not shabby, but also absolutely not to say that all aspects, husband a big man even if it is dedicated to always overlook many things. Just to congratulate the birthday guests door understanding, tolerance, so that everything looks perfect. However, the marquis’s birthday banquet was done like that, but my husband’s heart is very hard to feel guilty.”
Said, face with expectation, eyes with a longing look at the eldest princess, “and this year, the princess and the sidekick came back to the capital, frankly speaking husband and my heart are relieved. The husband said: this year’s birthday banquet with the princess and the two elders of the side of the horse to run the words, will certainly be much better than in previous years, and he and I also happen to follow the study, to see the past there are those who did not take into account. I’ve never been exposed to birthday banquets, so I’ll have to rely on the princess’s guidance and instruction this time.”
Gu Qingyuan’s words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room. The corners of the Grand Princess’s mouth spilled out a trace of unpredictable smile, really smart tight! These words were said without a drop of water. She and Xiahou Jueyi saw them come back, not not not to do, not to push but to learn. And she, as the eldest, is the backbone! It’s not good to use an excuse with her a new daughter-in-law, saying that she doesn’t understand, saying that she won’t!
Xia Zheran listened to the look of uncertainty, the old marquis birthday banquet, the gift is a lot and are heavy gifts, to put it mildly those are real money ah! It must be a lot of money, and the money is to go through the hands of the organizer, even if it is best to hand over to the old marquis, but it is also a lot of money can fall through the hands! She actually gave up so easily. The young age, but calm and powerful, the mind is also clear enough.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The first princess took a deep look at Gu Qingyuan, but only to see the woman’s sincere face in front of her, devoutly seeking advice in the eyes, this look made the first princess’ heart tighten. She is not afraid of the ruthless, not afraid of the poisonous, and not at all afraid of the heavy hearted. But most of all, she does not like this slippery, let people completely can not catch, no way to start. Xiahou Jueyi has really found a good daughter-in-law.
When there was silence, Mei Xiang came in and reported, “Shizi Fei, the old madam and the three concubine ladies are here.”
When Old Lady Gu entered the house and saw that the Grand Princess was there, she froze for a moment, but then her face lifted with a polite and eager smile. She began to greet the Grand Princess, Xia Qinglan and Xia Houxu. The first princess several people also each set of etiquette is not bad at all, with the old lady talking polite words, looking at Gu Ren’er, Gu Xin’er, Gu Yun’er several girls is not stingy that beautiful words of praise, one by one praise again.
Especially for the delicate appearance, dress up gorgeous, posture hired Ting, every move is through the daughter’s soft beauty, timid Gu Yun’er, the eldest princess is showing a special favorite color.
The adults were polite, and the youngsters were sizing each other up without a trace. Gu Ren’er, Gu Xin’er looked at Gu Qingyuan. Although, before seeing Gu Qingyuan, there were various imaginations in their hearts. However, when they saw her, they realized that Gu Qingyuan was completely different from what they had imagined.
As the world’s son concubine body wears is not even brocade clothing, head wear is not worth a lot of gold and silver jewelry, her dress is unexpectedly elegant, simple, casual. However, the body is only a low-key flamboyant.
More importantly, Gu Qingyuan is much more beautiful than they thought. In particular, the temperament of the body is beyond their expectations, calm, elegant, noble, lazy but also cool, mild. A very contradictory feeling, but perhaps because of this, let her beauty looks unique, untouchable, inimitable beauty.
Gu Yun’er was also surprised when she saw Gu Qingyuan, who was actually almost as beautiful as her. This makes her very disappointed, but men are fond of the old and the new. She is beautiful but she is already old, not as good as her …… just thought, then heard the voice praising her ring out, the corners of her mouth raised a smile, trying desperately to hide the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
“Old Lady Gu, you are really blessed, this granddaughter of yours was born really a better looking one than the other. These children stand in front of you, they are all really like flowers, just looking at them makes people’s hearts happy! It’s so attractive.”
Said looking at Gu Yun’er smiled: “This Yun’er girl looks even more exquisite, this appearance can really not many people can compare with. There is such a beautiful granddaughter. I’m afraid the old lady can wake up in the middle of the night laughing!”
“Yes! The old lady will definitely wake up laughing, look at this Yun’er girl looks like she walked out of a painting, really beautiful.” Xia Zuolan followed and agreed.
Gu Yun’er listened to the praise, face dyed red haze, shyly hanging head, but in the eyes with an undisguised self-satisfaction. The other party is the princess who praised her like this. I think it won’t take long for her beauty to spread in the capital, and people in the capital will immediately know that the Gu family has a beautiful and peerless daughter – Gu Yun’er.
The old lady laughed as she listened, “Princess too, the eldest young grandmother is really too much praise. Hehehe …… However, since Qing’er got married, my side because there are several children in is indeed quite lively. The princess also knows that people are especially afraid of loneliness when they get older.” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. The Gu family was left with my wife overnight after so many things happened in the early days.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. At that time, watching Qing’er get married like that cold and clear, I really do not feel good here!
The Grand Princess listened to this and sighed with emotion: “The old lady does not need to be too sad, as the saying goes: every family has its own difficult scriptures, everyone has a troubling matter. It’s all one step at a time, just walk through it.”
The old lady nodded her head, wiped the corners of her eyes and agreed: “What the Princess said is true. Although, those days were very difficult! But, it’s good that Qing’er is a blessed one, and seeing her live well. The rest doesn’t matter anymore. And Qing’er is also an open-minded person, for her parents can not attend her wedding, also know the reason will not be too serious. This makes me feel much more at ease.”
The old lady’s words, the eldest princess’s eyes shining, the bottom of the eyes overflowed with a mysterious smile.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the old lady’s loving face, the corners of her mouth raised a smile, but with a trace of coldness. As long as she is good, the other does not care? Is this a show of regard for her? Or is it a veiled way of saying that the Gu family now has her as their top priority? And for her parents not coming to the big wedding, she was open-mindedly calculating? Or is it trying to make it seem like she doesn’t care at all?
It seems that the old lady strong has reached the level of vengeance, as long as someone has wronged her, no matter who that person is, as long as she can she will definitely ask for it back. This is not allowed to violate the tough, but also the best illustration of cold-blooded ruthlessness.
The people in the room that can be the human essence, the old lady Gu a few words out, in addition to individual mind is not in this. The first princess, summer cherry orchid, Xiahou Shuo that is immediately perceived and determined what. The eyes overflowed with amusing smiles, but Xiahou Shu in seeing Gu Yun’er that shy with timid flower-like appearance, the eyes flashed cold intent.
The first princess lowered her eyes, picked up the tea in her hand and took a sip, smiled lightly, this tea finally some taste. This old lady of the Gu family is an interesting person, just do not know what other surprises she will give her. Just think, the old lady Gu voice sounded ……
“Qing’er ah! I’d like to ask you a question. There is also something I want to trouble you with.” The old lady Gu was very polite.
She was even polite with a hint of request and awe! A grandmother treats her granddaughter like this, it’s hard not to let people look deeper into it! It seems that the old lady is determined to make her this time, being sick and dirty to leave a handle on her words.
Since she is so polite, Gu Qingyuan is also lazy to show too close, that looks more like covering up, doing drama. The actual fact is that there is no need to cover up and hide, so it is clear that people feel that their grandchildren are cold! This may be better, more conducive to the development of certain things.
The old lady gnashed her teeth at Gu Qingyuan’s bland response! This deadly girl Gu Qingyuan, she really did not put her down at all, and even gave her a face in front of the eldest princess and others. Since this is the case, then she will not be polite either.
“Because I don’t have someone close to me, someone to take care of. They really do not feel at ease, especially from the Li City so far away to come over to take care of me, the wife, looking at them at such a young age to take on such a responsibility, I really feel sorry in my heart.” The old lady Gu lamented.
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, although she was married, but compared with Gu Xin’er and the girls. She is still on the old lady’s side, right? But the old lady even said she didn’t have a caring person around her. The old lady is a filial son, but she is a married adult, but she does not have that kind of awareness.
The old lady said looking, observing Gu Qingyuan’s expression, seeing that she just listened, but had no intention of defending or excusing herself. That completely unconcerned attitude made the old lady’s heart fire up. The smile on her face faded, and a hint of forcefulness colored her voice.
“They take care of me, I also want to let them have a good time in the capital for a few days, happy! However, they are the first time to enter the capital unfamiliar, go out to play I am really very uneasy. Therefore, I would like them to stay with you for a few days, firstly, you sisters can get along well and increase your relationship, and secondly, if you are free, you can take them around or explain to them the local customs of the capital, so that they can get familiar with it first.
The old lady’s words out, the big princess mouth smile became thick, raised her eyes untraceable glance, that face with excitement flowers look Gu Yun’er, heart laughing, really more and more intentional.
The three cousins are not easy to come here once, Qing Yuan should treat them well.”
The old lady laughed and said happily, “Grandma knew you were filial and righteous.”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Alas ……
The old lady is happy, Gu Yun’er is even more cheerful, lifted her feet and walked to Gu Qingyuan’s heel, graceful posture, gracefully bending down, voice like a warbler lightly said, “These days will be a labor of love for sister.”
Gu Qingyuan slightly raised her hand to support, smiled lightly and said: “Cousin no need to be formal, I hope to have fun in these days.”
Gu Ren’er, Gu Xin’er also came forward, slightly bending down, but very awe-inspiring said: “Thank you for cousin sister.”
A sister, a cousin. Sister is perhaps more intimate. But, or also represents the other.
On the carriage for the return trip, Sister Qi looked at the gloomy old lady and sighed in her heart! This time the old lady is afraid to really annoy the big miss! She has been with the old lady for decades, sometimes she really does not know what the old lady is thinking, when she was young she was very stubborn, almost everything has to be extreme before she will stop! However, at that time, the old master is still alive, she can more or less tolerate a point. But now, perhaps older and less concerned, is more and more obstinate. The only thing that is important is to fight for a clear understanding of the matter, thinking, Sister Qi felt very helpless, is that breath really that important? Regardless of the consequences of going up against Missy, this is really …… too stupid!
Although the great disrespect, but this is the real feeling in Sister Qi’s heart.
“Sister Qi.”
The old lady’s voice sounded, and Sister Qi hurriedly returned to her senses, collected her expression, and respectfully said, “Old slave is here.”
“You say, Gu Qingyuan she really didn’t see anything, didn’t feel anything. Or is she pretending to be confused?” The old lady’s voice was deep and cold.
“This, old slave can’t say. After all, just now the old madam only said to let them play there for a few days, this is considered human nature, the eldest miss may not have thought much about it!” Sister Qi said superficially.
“Gu Qingyuan so smart really can not notice at all?” The old lady sneered, “I think she is now the son of the concubine, relying on Xiahou son favor her, is completely emboldened, already do not look at anyone in the eyes. She thinks she has completely captured the heart of Xiahou Shizi and is not afraid of any flowers and grasses. Humph! She is starting to be arrogant, already overwhelmed by love, just like that mother of hers, thinking that she has control over men and everything is fine.”
“So, I would really like to see her remorseful, bitter and frustrated look when Xiahou Shizi changes his heart.” The old lady snorted coldly: “And, this time I did not call other outsiders to go, just let the own people who definitely will not threaten her position go over. It’s a kind of consideration for her grandchildren’s love.”
Sister Qi listened, her brow inadvertently frowned, regardless of how Missy was thinking at this moment. But, alone, Xiahou Shizi, he is definitely not the kind of person who squints at the sight of beauty, in her opinion, Gu Yun’er wants to become Xiahou Shizi’s person, there is not much hope at all. However, the old lady sounded as if she was sure that Gu Yun’er would definitely become Xiahou Shizi’s person! Is the old madam a little too early to be sure? Or ……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. She really did not want that ……
On the other hand, the carriage! Xiahou Suo looked at the eldest princess frowned, “Mother, what do you mean that old lady Gu left those three concubine daughters behind?”
“What can be the meaning, but just see Gu Qingyuan there is not smooth, want to put another obedient pawn in Gu Qingyuan’s side!” The first princess said casually.
“That pawn is that Gu Yun’er, right?” Xiahou Suo said in a cold voice.
“Judging from the way the three people are dressed today, it’s likely to be her.”
“Just that stupid look of hers, she also wants to become brother Yi’s woman, it’s really too whimsical and uninformed.” Xiahou Suo said coldly.
At these words, the eldest princess’s eyes darkened and raised her eyes to look at her daughter’s angry and irritated look, her eyes narrowed slightly and she said lightly, “Suo’er, aren’t you happy that Xiahou Jueyi took her?”
The eldest princess’ words made Xiahou Shuu keenly perceive what was going on, her eyebrows jumped and her expression was cold and arrogant: “Yes, I am not happy.” Saying that, seeing the stern color flashing in the Grand Princess’s eyes, her hand tightened, trying desperately to suppress a certain sense of fear, and said with a straight face, “A stupid woman like that will only discredit the face of our Xiahou family, how can I like it.”
Hearing this, the Grand Princess took a deep look at Xiahou Suo, and was silent for a moment before speaking, “I do hope that Gu Yun’er really has the ability to become Xiahou Jueyi’s woman.”
When these words came out, Xiahou Suo’s eyes shrank slightly, and his face carried a trace of doubt, “Why? Does mother want two Gu family women to become brother Yi’s women, won’t this make the Gu family’s position in the earldom more solid? This, what good can it do to us?”
“Oh, of course there are benefits. Although Gu Qingyuan and Gu Yun’er are both surnamed Gu, but when they serve the same man one day, it will only be more incompatible. The war between women may not seem like a big deal, but the process of it is absolutely wonderful and should not be underestimated, it is definitely a big battle between you and me, and I want to happen to be Gu Qingyuan’s instability, as long as the chaos. She will make mistakes in the chaos, chaos she will not be able to take care of everything as it is now.”
Xiahou Suo listened and nodded, but his eyes were even colder, “But with Gu Qingyuan’s intelligence, couldn’t she see the old lady’s mind and the foul play in this?”
“Even if she could see it, so what? Can she refuse and not allow those concubine daughters to stay? Especially in front of us.” The First Princess said lightly: “Moreover, even if she refused this time, what about next time? What about the next time? Can she refuse every time? If one day the old lady Gu is annoyed, perhaps she will personally take the three concubine daughters to live in the Earl’s residence. The first day of the year can be avoided, but not the 15th, what should happen will still happen, there is no use to escape.”
Xiahou Suo listened to the words with an uncertain expression.
The first princess murmured, if Gu Yun’er can enter the earl’s house then there will really be a good show ah! It’s really something to look forward to.
Earl’s House
After the first princess and old lady Gu left one after another. Gu Qingyuan instructed Mei Xiang to arrange a place for Gu Xin’er’s three, and let Mei Xiang take them to rest first.
When the ears were finally quiet, Gu Qingyuan rubbed her eyebrows and took a look at the hour (about two o’clock), what was Xiahou Juyou doing at this time?
Ling Fei saw that Gu Qingyuan looked a little tired, her eyes were full of heartache, and she said with concern: “Shizi Consort, take a rest!”
“No, it’s just that the noise gave me a bit of a headache.” Said getting up and stretching, “I’ll go freshen up, you help me get my things ready and set off.”
“Good, slave servant will get ready now.”
Military Camp
Xiahou Jueyi sat on the main seat, a group of officials below stood below, more than twenty people in the room can be no sound at all, silent, depressing, heavy, even breathing even feel the strain! The atmosphere is heavy, the hearts of the officials are tightly tense, three days, is three days, the three days unimaginably long, because too long, they have even forgotten what the previous days were like. What is a woman, do not remember! What is the mountain of food, do not know! Perhaps I should say, what is the taste of rice, they have not been able to taste!
Three days, let them experience the most, understand the most thoroughly is that the past days are paradise, but they never know how to cherish. Also let them know in advance, what is worse than death, what is hell!
For three days, they no longer felt amazed by Xiahou Jueyi’s handsome and fairy-like face! Only horror. For the first time, they understand that the handsome ones are not necessarily immortals, but perhaps demons! The noble, king-like aura on his body is still equally amazing and convincing. But even more frightening, fearful to death!
For three days, there was nothing but extreme training! No, I should say, there is also the demonstration of Qi guards that strikes the dead. Xiahou Shizi an order, Qi guards a move, they once felt proud, self-conscious of doing a good job soldiers, hit to no face to see people, even live in this world is a kind of superfluous, that absolute frustration, can drive people crazy.
“This is the achievement you want to show to my son? This is the soldier you say can do everything very well? These are the results of the training that you have given my son the assurance that even if any changes occur and they face all kinds of crises, they can definitely cope with them and win? If yes, then, my son is really impressed with you.” Xiahou Jueyi’s expression was light, but his sentences were like knives.
As the man’s cold voice rose, a group of officials quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty in unison, “His Highness redeems himself, the next official knows his mistake.”
However, he did not have much heart to sympathize with them, he better save his knees first! If the master asked him to demonstrate something to those soldiers below again, then he would really have to take his life.
“Apart from asking for forgiveness, do you have anything else to say to this prince?” Xiahou Jueyi said in a nonchalant manner.
However, this sentence, but a group of people below quickly sweat on the forehead, the backbone fiercely cold. Face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, these days the stomach dug empty, feel the brain have become smaller because of overthinking, but the response proposed but none of the strategies to make the man in front of you satisfied.
Many times thinking about the situation to no avail, they have begun to deviate way to think. I can’t help but guess if the Xiahou Shizi is so because he is not satisfied with his desire, his heart is too angry to restrain them to vent his anger! Or, is it some kind of conflict with the son consort? Even think, is not the room does not go well Xiahou Shizi male style damage. Hurt the male pride, so need to get back in front of them. Ahem …… although they also do not want to always think in this regard, but just recently married people should not be full of spring? However, the man in front of him is hostile and frightening.
Xiahou Jueyi saw that no one below opened his mouth, his narrow eyes darkened, and his mood became even more hostile. The already depressing atmosphere has an additional layer of coldness because of the man’s mood. The people in the room really want to cry ……
Just at this time, a footsteps suddenly came, the crowd’s heart endowed, the mind uncertain, this time is that brave, and not long-eyed over? However, this may be able to transfer the fire of Xiahou Shizi, to his body. Thinking of this, all the people’s hearts filled with anticipation. Hopefully, this can be used to escape today’s calamity.
The first time I saw him, I saw a bright light in my eyes, and my heart was thumping with excitement. The opportunity has come, the opportunity has finally come!
“Master!”
Seeing Qi Yi, Xiahou Jueyi’s expression was uncertain, and various emotions turned in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, “What is it?”
“The World Prince Consort ordered my subordinates to bring something over to the World Prince.”
When these words came out, Qi Qi was even more excited.
Xiahou Jueyi took a deep look at Qi Yi, “What is it?”
“Master, wait a moment.” After saying this, he turned and walked out at a fast pace.
A moment later, walked in again, only this time there was an additional person behind him, that person was slender, small and delicate a man, hanging his head behind Qi Yi, holding a food box in his hand.
Seeing that person, Qi Qi’s mouth split open.
Xiahou Jueyi’s mouth pursed.
The small man walked up to Xiahou Jueyi, respectfully bent down and bowed, his voice low, “I have seen Xiahou Shizi.”
Looking at the person who greeted him, Xiahou Jueyi’s mouth pursed even tighter, glanced at him, then averted his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Get up!”
“Yes, many thanks to Xiahou Shizi.” The man got up, automatically and spontaneously walked to Xiahou Jueyi’s side and put the food box in his hand in front of him, “Shizi Consort said, Shizi Master has worked hard these days. Therefore, I was especially ordered to come over and bring some tonic things for Xiahou Shizi’s body.”
The man’s serious look made Xiahou Jueyi’s hand tighten, glanced at him again, and said with an unknown emotion, “Shizi Consort has worked hard.”
“No hard work, no hard work. It should be, it should be.”
“Humph!”
Looking at Xiahou Jueyi’s clear and cold face, the man’s face with a light smile, his words with apprehension said, “That, Shizi Xiahou! The World Concubine has a word for me to bring to the World Concubine.”
“What words?”
“Please allow me to take a step closer.”
Hearing that, Xiahou Jueyi took a look at the distance between them, it seemed like there was only one step between them! He still wanted to take a step closer?
“Thank you, Xiahou Shizi for your permission.”
Xiahou Jueyi didn’t open his mouth, but the man had already spontaneously thanked him for his kindness, smiling and quickly stepping forward. Because of this rogue-like action, the officials below could not see it because they had their heads down, they only thought that Xiahou Jueyi had nodded his head in response.
However, Qi肆,麒一 but see very clearly, the mouth grin even bigger, look at this crisis will soon pass.
The man came close, covered with his hand, bent over, and came close to Xiahou Juyue Yi’s ear.
The mild and fragrant scent instantly passed into Xiahou Jueyi’s nose, and his body reflexively tensed up. And then, a move of the man made Xiahou Jueyi’s back suddenly straighten, and various colors flashed across his face extremely quickly. Too complex color, so that people can not immediately explore what kind of reaction he is, is happy, or angry.
The man has backed away and stood respectfully to the side, that honest look, more people can not probe what he just did?
The qi want, qi a look at each other, face to face, but in the heart can not help but sigh: the master finally have a second expression appeared.
The following officials are also sensitive to the feeling that the atmosphere in the room began to become strange, as if no longer so depressing, and no longer full of chill. Rather, there is a, a …… indefinable, indefinable sentiment entwined with the meaning of …… this feeling out, all officials quickly shake their heads, shake off, they are beginning to brain unclear.
Xiahou Jueyi fiercely glared at the woman who was standing on the side pretending to be honest, turned his eyes to look at the crowd below, expressionless said: “All go down.”
This order out, the people look at each other, their eyes filled with unbelievable, this …… this is considered to be the past? Too unexpectedly ……
Kiri want to look at their reaction, shake his head, sigh: tortured fast nerve of a group of people ah!
“What? Did you not hear the words of this prince?”
Xiahou Jueyi sunken cold voice out, the people quickly back to their senses, hurriedly said: “the next official farewell ……” said, people blinked and disappeared in front of their eyes.
Qi肆,麒一also quickly, sensible to disappear.
Only two people were left in the room, Xiahou Jueyi raised his eyes, before he could speak, there was already an extra person in his arms, dropping his eyes! It is the woman’s face with a smile like a flower.
“Husband ……”
Xiahou Jueyi looked at the person in his arms, his expression was very clear and cold: “You are a male, calling this son husband is not decent, too unrestrained! Go down.”
Gu Qing Yuan eyes crystal bright look at the man angry look, listening to his stern voice reprimand, heart instantly filled with laughter, warmth, satisfaction of the fullness of her heart can not help but some swelling. Because he is in front of her eyes, and feel joy; because of his departure; and feel homesick; because there is him, she feels satisfied; and she also from joy by herself, but now there is an additional him, joy by him involved.
Xiahou Jueyi looked at the person in his arms in bewilderment, he had seen too many emotions in those ancient wellless eyes, cold; cold and severe; warm; sad; joyful; cunning; worldly; however, it was the first time he saw longing in her eyes. Look at that thoughtfulness, cheerfulness. Xiahou Jueyi’s heart tightened, is it because of him?
Looking at the man’s dazed expression, Gu Qingyuan’s face raised a smile, lying comfortably on the man’s body, lowering his head and arching over his heart. That cat-like pampered look made Xiahou Jueyi’s heart for several days of gloom and dullness disappear instantly without a trace, turning into a splash of spring water. The gloom between the eyebrows faded away, and the corners of the eyes overflowed with the moving style of soft drowning.
The heart is filled with joy. However, the face is pretending to be cold, indifferent said: “still not go down? The actual fact is that you are going to be able to get a lot more than just a few days.
The words came out, but what entered the ears was the woman’s suppressed light laughter. Xiahou Jueyi gritted his teeth! Heart chagrin, the feeling of having nowhere to put pressure makes people feel suffocated!
Gu Qingyuan raised her head, and her cheeks were colored with rouge because of her stifled laughter. Two eyes crystal bright like glazed, hair because of the action just now some messy, a male clothing, but born to wear a different style, a different temptation. People can’t help but look at ……. The idea just started, Xiahou Jueyi quickly turned away his eyes, if he really did that, he is really crazy ……
Gu Qingyuan looked at Xiahou Jueyi’s tense expression, pursed her lips and smiled, it seems that the man’s gas has not gone down, or, along with this step down the man is not willing, not satisfied? (Xiahou Jueyi’s fire has not gone down yet, but this fire is not the same fire anymore!
Gu Qingyuan hid a smile on her face, and looked at Xiahou Jueyi with admiration and expectation in her eyes, very sad, struggling: “Xiahou Shizi, I know that my male body makes you find it hard to accept. It is only natural that you would resist.” Said despondent lowered his head.
Xiahou Jueyi lowered his eyes, his narrow eyes were unpredictable, what tricks this girl wanted to play again.
“However, my heart for Xiahou Shizi is true. I really like Xiahou Shizi.” Gu Qingyuan raised her head again, her face full of determination.
“I fell in love with Xiahouzi when I first saw him. Although I also know that male-male love, very shocking and difficult for the world to accept. But, love is love, I can’t deceive myself, moreover, I can’t suppress the desire to be by Xiahou Shizi’s side for the rest of my life.”
Said lightly caress on Xiahou Jueyi handsome face, eyes full of love, “can see your stunningly beautiful face every day, can hear your voice every day, can hug you every day to feel your warmth, there is no more than this in the world to make me feel happy.” After saying that, looking solemnly at Xiahou Jueyi, “Jueyi, if you can, please let me stay by your side.”
Such an affectionate confession made Xiahou Jueyi’s face even more ugly. This bad-hearted girl, the longing in her eyes just now is not because she simply misses him! It’s just because he’s not around, she has no more objects to tease and a lot less fun, that’s why she’s so happy when she sees him! And, now she can’t wait to tease him a little.
Thinking, Xiahou Jueyi’s face became even more ugly, and said in a deep voice: “Go down!”
Seeing that Xiahou Jueyi seems to be getting more and more angry, Gu Qingyuan’s body went forward and flew to give Xiahou Jueyi a strong kiss on his lips. Then back away, in Xiahou Jueyi dazed, solemnly said: “Xiahou Shizi, I will definitely do very well. At the very least, I will do better than your son’s concubine. Except for the gender difference, I am not worse than her in looks, but I am more gentle than her, more understanding than her, and more considerate than her! More importantly, I am more frank than her. I like Xiahou Shizi will frankly say it, not like your Shizi consort, obviously care about but many times but never speak out.”
“Obviously when you can not see you, will miss, will miss, but did not say.”
“Obviously the previous fleeing, avoiding, never because of dislike for you, only because of fear, timid, fear of loss will want to leave, but never said.”
“Perhaps in your many times inclusive, has begun to like, but because of resistance, because do not know how to continue, so, she deliberately ignored a lot. Just want to be alone and not be tied up. In fact, she is a timid one, but she never said so.”
“And in following you back to Haoyue, in marrying you, you were already in her heart. Although, she once maybe really thought about keeping that heart, but at a very early stage that word has been forgotten and the heart has been left behind!”
“These, she herself knows. Also smugly thought, you can also feel, you also know! Understand that she became married to you because she simply liked you. But she forgot the most important! Once since she wished you to say it, then, you must have wished her to say it too.”
“Your Shizi Consort, forgot to tell you one thing. Tying the knot as husband and wife, only because of the heart; companionship for life, only because it is you; feeling happy and peaceful, because of you!”
“I haven’t seen you for three days, she misses you a lot.”
Gu Qingyuan’s words came out, Xiahou Jueyi’s heart tumbled, his long and narrow eyes burned, deep and bright, reaching out to hold Gu Qingyuan’s small face, his voice darkly pressed, “Girl, say what you just said again.”
This word out, Gu Qing Yuan mouth crooked a little, according to the development of romance drama Gu Qing Yuan once imagined the man’s reaction. I thought he would hug her, thought he might also say a couple of nice words in response, also thought he was happy in his heart, but the twisted nature will pretend to be bland. But, just did not expect the man would let repeat again!
Looking at Gu Qingyuan Shen’s astonished eyes, Xiahou Jueyi lowered his head, with seduction in his eyes, his voice with seduction, and said in a low voice: “Yatou, say it again!”
“Do not say.”
“Yatou ……”
“Good words become bad when they are said more often.”
“Maiden ……”
“Don’t say it.”
“Maiden, you can’t make this son more happy! Say it again.” Xiahou Jueyi said with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Gu Qingyuan gave him a white look, “It’s useless to be petulant.” Said a warning look at him, “Also, in the future, if you run away from home again, you will be served with a stick.”
“Changing your face is really fast.” Xiahou Jueyi glared, but his face was a smile that could not be concealed.
“Well, what should be said is finished. This prince will not disturb Xiahou Shizi’s busy business.” Gu Qingyuan said and got up, saying in a serious manner, “This prince will take his leave first.” Turning around, but blinking, he was easily pulled into Xiahou Jueyi’s arms again.
Gu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, “What else does Xiahou Shizi have to order?”
“Just now you said you want to stay by my son’s side for the rest of your life, my son thought about it for a while and felt that this proposal was very good. Therefore, it is permitted!” Xiahou Jueyi hugged Gu Qingyuan, the warm fragrance in his arms, his mood was even better.
“Xiahou Shizi wants to break his sleeve with this prince.”
“If it’s you, this Shizi really doesn’t mind at all.”
“Then what should your Shizi consort do?”
“She is quite willing.”
“Is that so? Hard to believe ……”
“You’ll believe it in a moment.”
Gu Qingyuan’s eyes flashed with a trace of doubt when she heard this, but she immediately understood when she saw Xiahou Jueyi’s movements, and her mouth twitched lightly. This guy was actually undoing her clothes.
“Doesn’t Xiahou Shizi think this is a little too fast?”
“This son thinks it is too slow ……” said, lowering his head to kiss the cherry lips that have been wanted for a long time. Sweet, familiar scent, let Xiahou Jueyi hand fiercely tighten, a large hand to hold Gu Qingyuan’s head, fervently kissing the woman in his arms. The passion that seemed to devour her made Gu Qingyuan completely unable to break away and resist.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room
“I bow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor.”
Nangong Yin raised his eyes, glanced at Liu Xue Zhou who was kneeling on the ground, put down the pen in his hand, and faintly said, “Get up!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Liu Xuezhou got up, respectfully stood not waiting for Nangong Yin to ask questions before taking the lead to open his mouth, reported: “Your Majesty, the micro-minister went to Lingsheng for half a month to find out a lot of problems.”
“Say.”
“Yes, since the Third Prince went to Lingcheng, many things have happened in Lingcheng. First: the officials began to be corrupt, corrupt and bribed, oppressing the people, while flattering the Third Prince, flattering to please!”
“Second: the people were forced to live a difficult life, but they did not dare to say anything, as long as they opened their mouths to say a word of disrespect, regardless of the reason why they would immediately be imprisoned! Lingsheng now can almost be said to be the people are not living!”
“Third: the third prince not only turned a blind eye to this corrupt scene, he is even the culprit. From the time he arrived in the city, he began to scavenge the people and a large number of women, regardless of whether they are willing, directly seized! Some tried to resist, but was immediately beaten and killed by the third prince!”
“Under the thunderous, cruel methods of the Third Prince and those officials, Lingcheng is a complete pandemonium, wailing, a chaos.” Liu Xuezhou said paused for a moment and said, “And during my secret visit, I even heard the word ‘anti’.”
Hearing that word, Nangong Yin face instantly gloomy down, one side of the hi eunuch face suddenly changed, the heart is fiercely jumped up. Gently raised his head to look at the look righteous, Bing straight Liu Xue Zhou, eyes overflowing with admiration, sigh: worthy of Haoyue is not afraid of death first person ah! Really dare to say anything.
Nangong Yin said angrily: “Liu Xuezhou, are these words true?”
“Your Majesty, if I had not heard these words myself, how could I say such treacherous words without reason.” Liu Xuezhou’s eyes did not flicker, his expression condensed: “Moreover, the shadow guards who went with me at that time also heard it, so, whether it is true or not, Your Majesty will know when you ask.”
Hearing this, Nangong Yin eyes flashed murderous aura, his face is even more ugly, but did not call the shadow guards. Just said in a deep voice: “Can there be others?”
“And then there is the third prince, is really too unseemly, night and day, lascivious, but also unusually violent. In the last incident of hijacking the earl’s son concubine, that out of the head Gu Yun’er, in the day sent back to the third prince, the third prince was beaten, and when she was dying, the third prince ordered someone to throw her directly to the brothel, but also ordered that the men who went to the brothel that day were received by her alone.” Liu Xuezhou said, his face was an unconcealed anger.
“Your Majesty, that Gu Yun’er has a mischievous heart and a bad heart, so she should be punished. But for the third prince to do so is really too much, and his practice is outrageous. Your Majesty, it may be a great disrespect for me to say this, but even if Your Majesty wants to cut me down, I am still going to say it.”
The third prince is definitely a scum, and having him as a scourge is definitely a disaster for Hao Yue and a great misfortune for the royal family. I implore Your Majesty to punish the Third Prince and give an explanation to the people of Lingsheng.”
Liu Xuezhou’s words fell, the imperial study room instantly silent, Eunuch Xi’s face was white, forehead full of sweat beads. The heart is in the throat, Liu Xuezhou ah! Liu Xuezhou! How can there be such a desperate young man in this world, really unique and rare.
Nangong Yin face gloomy terrible, deep look at Liu Xuezhou. Silence for a long time, opened his mouth, his voice with a cold, “Come on people.”
A drink, one side of the guards stepped forward, kneeling on bended knee, “In!”
“Take Liu Xuezhou to the patriarch’s residence and imprison him! Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit.”
“Yes.”
Liu Xuezhou, however, looked the same, bowed his head, bowed his head, and did not wait for the guards to do anything, got up and walked out.
Looking at Liu Xuezhou’s back, Nangong Yin’s expression condensed, “Eunuch Xi.”
“Old slave is here.”
“Summon the Empress!”
“Yes!”
Earl’s Mansion
In the guest room, Gu Xin’er, Gu Ren’er sitting opposite each other, looking at the tea on the table, and then measuring the decorative simple but very atmospheric house look uncertain.
After a long silence, Gu Ren’er opened her mouth and said in a low voice: “What kind of person do you think this Gu Qingyuan is?”
Gu Xin’er listened to the words, her face looked like an inexplicable smile, lightly said: “Not a simple person.”
“Sister but see what?”
“From her confrontation with Zeng and that third aunt of the first house. That time when she was robbed, she was only one person, but she was facing three parties. However, the final result was that she was the only one who was intact, while the others were either dead or ruined! This definitely won’t be as simple as just luck, and definitely won’t be explained only by Xiahou Shizi’s maintenance all.”
“It’s just that that kind of scene we can’t see with our own eyes. Perhaps, it is impossible to be completely sure that there is a possibility of wrong guess. But now, from the attitude of this Earl House underlings, do you see anything?”
“Underlings?”
“Yes, how a master is like. You can find out a lot by looking at the attitude of the underlings towards her. And the subordinates in this mansion, when mentioning Gu Qingyuan, their faces are respectful, awe-inspiring, none of them are careless. This shows what kind of prestige Gu Qingyuan she has in this Earl’s Mansion.”
“And those underlings, the way they treat us! They are polite and courteous, they don’t neglect us because we are concubine daughters, and they don’t compliment us at all because we are Gu Qingyuan’s cousins, and more importantly, they abide by Gu Qingyuan’s orders, not a single bit of what they should place, and none of what Gu Qingyuan didn’t order. Not a word more.”
“Gu Yun’er she thought she was smart, circling around and asking people a lot of questions, but those underlings just smiled, but not a word. Even Gu Yun’er that money bribe, those underlings simply refused, not even a trace of hesitation and hesitation. This shows that the master of the Earl’s House that is definitely not the ordinary ability to discipline.” Gu Xin’er said with a strange light flashing in her eyes, there is an inexplicable feeling of excitement.
Gu Ren’er listened to the stare, “Gu Qingyuan just married in not long ago, these subordinates can not be her training out, right?”
“Yes or no wait and see!” As Gu Xin’er’s words fell, she saw Gu Yun’er walk in. The two of them paused to stop talking and raised their eyes, only to see Gu Yun’er with frustration on her face and an unconcealable dejection in her eyes. At the beginning of that excitement, excited look disappeared without a trace, the whole person is very downcast, see them breathlessly said: “Ren’er sister, sister Xin’er you did not go out to go around?”
Gu Xin’er laughed lightly and said, “No! We are not familiar with the Earl’s Mansion, so we have been staying inside! Where did Sister Yun’er go?”
“Just looking around.” Said and sat down beside them, the maid behind her smartly poured a cup of water and placed it in front of Gu Yun’er.
Gu Yun’er picked it up and drank it all, put down the cup after drinking it and exclaimed, “This Earl’s Mansion is really beautiful, don’t you guys want to take a look?”
Gu Xin’er shook her head and smiled lightly, “Cousin Qing’er is not here, it’s a bit inappropriate for us to walk around.”
Gu Yun’er listened, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and her voice also carried a trace of dissatisfaction: “Qing’er sister knows that we are here, but for such a long time, she doesn’t even look at us, she is really too cold to us. Do you think she doesn’t like us being here? If that’s the case, she should have refused at the beginning when grandmother said so! It’s so sad that we are left here unattended.”
Hearing Gu Yun’er’s words, a mocking smile flashed in Gu Ren’er’s eyes. Gu Xin’er’s expression remained unchanged as she laughed lightly, “You’re thinking too much, sister Yun’er, cousin Qing’er is probably busy at the moment! After all, it’s not easy to take care of such a large earl’s residence, she definitely didn’t mean to leave us …… out in the cold.”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
This word out, Gu Xin’er eyes flashed something, but some surprised face said: “This …… this is not very likely right! Sister Yun’er must be that you think too much.”
“Where am I thinking too much, it was the maid in her courtyard who said it herself. I didn’t slander her at all.” Gu Yun’er said with some annoyance.
At that, Gu Xin’er, Gu Ren’er two eyes flashed with laughter, it seems that Gu Yun’er she can not wait. She ran to Gu Qing Yuan to wait for a coincidental meeting with someone. The result is a wall, Gu Qing Yuan simply does not see her. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
“Sister Yun’er, I think cousin Qing’er must be tired, you also saw this morning she entertained so many guests, must have consumed a lot of experience, want to take a rest is nothing.” Gu Ren’er said very understandingly.
“What tired? I think she simply does not want to take care of us!” The company’s face is tainted with aggression, beaming: “Besides, even if it is rest, but also at this hour she should have enough rest, right! Is she going to rest until she goes to bed at night? She is clearly avoiding us.”
Gu Xin’er listened to the words, heart slowly shook his head and snorted, Gu Yun’er such foolishness can live up to now is really a surprise. Perhaps the reason why the former Zeng kept her was because she saw that she was beautiful but had no heart, and would not become a threat, but a very good pawn to keep her, and did not destroy her sooner!
However, even if she enters the earl’s house, she will not become anything, but at most a plaything for men’s whim!
At this moment, the person who was crushed by Gu Yun’er did not want to sleep until the night, but wanted to sleep until the next morning. However, the continuous call of the man in her ear, so she had to open her eyes.
Open your eyes to see is that the man is full of spring, eyebrows with a smile. Seeing Gu Qingyuan wake up, the man leaned down, his voice was very soft, “Girl, get up!”
Gu Qingyuan moved a sore body, sigh: persuade the man to go home this is very smooth? However, the man did come back, only she did not guess the process, but also guessed the wrong consequences. She had thought that after her confession, the man at least responded with two good words, but he did not! Instead, he wanted her to say it again!
She thought that even if the man was happy and wanted to do her in the heat of the moment, but at least it should wait until the night! But looking at the results now, it is clear that she thought wrong!
The man should be old-fashioned when old-fashioned, but should be unrestrained when also definitely not rule.
Seeing that Gu Qingyuan just looked at him, but didn’t have the slightest intention to get up, Xiahou Juyue naturally knew the reason for it. I can’t help but be considerate and say, “Why don’t I bring the food over and you can eat it before you go back to sleep.”
Gu Qingyuan listened to this and sighed: it would be good if the man’s considerate gentleman-like could remember less when he was in bed.
Sighed and glanced at the clock, “Forget it, I’d better get up and eat by myself!”
“Is it still okay?”
This word out, Gu Qingyuan can’t help but stare, this man …….
Xiahou Jueyi look at Gu Qingyuan eyes emerge a spark, remember her in bed small intention to beg to stop, dropping his eyes, with a fist against his lips, light cough, he asked the wrong thing!
“I’m going to ask the maid to bring you food.” After saying that, he walked out with big steps.
Gu Qingyuan gritted her teeth! Not only will the man leave home now, he will also escape!
Xiahou Juyue went out, Ling Fei came in and saw Gu Qingyuan who was sitting on the bed and putting on clothes. Her eyes overflowed with laughter, and she felt in her heart: there are times when her master can’t help himself and can’t control himself!
“Shizi Consort, slave servant help you dress!”
“No need, it’s ready. Go and prepare some hot water. I want to bathe.”
“The hot water has already been prepared by the servant girl.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan stroked her forehead, don’t men know how to keep a low profile? Her reputation ……. Gu Qingyuan choked!
Wash and comb well, the meal has also been prepared. Gu Qingyuan dressed casually, hair also casually simple bundle up, the whole person looks lazy, at ease, comfortable! Very a few out of the ordinary fairy flavor. But, after seeing the food, that fairy taste completely dissipated.
There are guests at noon did not eat well, and in the afternoon and consume too much energy, Gu Qing Yuan’s stomach has long been hungry croaking. Looking at the things she loves to eat on the table, her mouth is stuffed to the brim, and her eyes are raised in a satisfied smile. Xiahou Jueyi watched, his brows were overflowing with doting, and habitually began his feeding action.
On the side of Mei Xiang, Lan Zhi looked, heart relieved. Two days ago the Prince was not in, Miss also some depressed look, look at their heart is seven and eight thought they of what happened it! But now it seems that they are thinking too much. The world’s greatest and most important thing is to have a good relationship with the young lady, and it feels even better than before.
The atmosphere in the house was warm and inviting!
“Shizi Consort, the three concubine ladies are here.” Ling Fei walked in from outside and said with a hint of coldness in her voice.
Hearing that, Gu Qingyuan’s hand holding chopsticks paused for a moment, she had almost forgotten about those three.
Xiahou Jueyi’s eyes overflowed with a sunken color.
Lanzhi whispered, “What are they doing here at this time?”
“It says they are to say good night to Shizi Consort.”
Gu Qingyuan listened, wiped the corner of her mouth, looked at Xiahou Jueyi and said, “I’ll go out for a while.”
Xiahou Jueyi nodded, put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Gu Qingyuan’s back, his narrow double eyes narrowed slightly, and turned his eyes to look at Ling Fei, “Ling Fei!”
“Master.”
“Tell the shadow guards to tell them to go to Li Cheng.”
“Back to master, Shizi Fei already had someone go yesterday.”
Hearing the words, Xiahou Jueyi raised his eyebrows and his expression eased a lot.
However, after not seeing Gu Qingyuan return for a long time, Xiahou Jueyi’s brow furrowed again.
Ling Fei looked and hurriedly said, “Slave servant will go and take a look.”
“No need! Bring Shi Zi Fei’s cloak here.”
“Yes!” Ling Fei turned and went into the inner room, and a moment later took a cloak and handed it to Xiahou Jueyi’s face, “Master.”
Xiahou Jueyi took it, got up, and walked outside.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the embroideries in her hand, and then looked at Gu Yun’er’s enthusiastic look as she droned on and on about the explanation. Eyebrows frivolous, a set of embroidered pillows as a gift, asked a question like it? She should: like it! Asked a question whether this embroidery looks good? She honestly said that she didn’t know much about embroidery skills! However, it was this sentence of not understanding that quickly opened Gu Yun’er’s box of words.
Gu Yun’er began to explain everything to her in great detail. That seriously look, let people look at it can not help but sigh: she really is not hiding private, ready to teach, that eager completely can not wait for the look, let people think, she really immediately want to let themselves out of the teacher ah!
Such eagerness, look really touching ah! However, behind this enthusiasm lurks too much innocence.
Gu Xin’er and Gu Ren’er had a light smile on their faces as they watched the scene before them. The two of them are looking at the scene in front of them with a light smile on their faces. It seems that Gu Yun’er has made up her mind today that she will meet the Xiahou Shizi – the man she wants to seduce – today.
The women were not surprised by Gu Yun’er’s actions, but it was Gu Qingyuan’s casual, even unkempt appearance that surprised them again.
On the way to come overheard a few underlings, footsteps hurried! The mouth said, Xiahou Shi Zi commanded to hurry some how, how! This kind of words. If you look at it this way, the Prince is in the house. If the son of Xiahou is here, Gu Qingyuan is still dressed like this, is she too casual.
Although dressed like this is not ugly, however, this look is too much for men, the so-called women to please their own appearance, as a woman that no matter what time to pay attention to their dress, always let men see their own elegant, beautiful and moving side is the right, but also the most basic!
Because, in their impressions, both Zeng and aunt, every day to spend a lot of time, thought to dress themselves. It is the hope to get the father’s favor, to secure their position. The aunt had also said that in this backyard, not afraid of losing your life, but afraid of losing the favor of men and being disgusted by them. Once a man forgets you, life will be worse than death, and your children will also live a miserable, sad!
So, you can not love the man, and do not force the man to love you more. What you need to do is to grab his favor, that’s enough!
And, Gu Qingyuan is so unconcerned, is very confident that this look will not be disliked by the man? Maybe it’s because she’s the only woman in the house now, she hasn’t experienced the days of competing with others for favor and hasn’t realized the importance of men favoring her? Or, is she convinced that no matter what she looks like, Xiahou Shizi is fond of her?
If that’s the case, then it can only be said that Gu Qingyuan is too smart, but too proud, even if such a person is smart, but is destined to carry the heel.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
This kind of play, let Gu Qing Yuan patience declared the end, turned his eyes to interrupt Gu Yun’er, lightly said: “Today the day is not early, cousin Yun’er talk for so long also tired, go back to rest early!
Gu Qingyuan’s words, Gu Yun’er paused! And Gu Qingyuan’s straightforward words of expulsion made Gu Yun’er’s eyes flash with embarrassment and a trace of unwilling annoyance! However, her face was full of aggression as she looked at Gu Qingyuan, and said apprehensively, “Does sister Qing’er think I’m talking too much?”
It is too much! Gu Qingyuan looked at her with an indifferent expression, did not speak, but the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Qingyuan was so unforgiving that Gu Xin’er and Gu Ren’er were stunned! Looking at Gu Qingyuan’s cold, indifferent appearance, Gu Xin’er’s eyes shrank slightly. Have you already seen something? But such a direct reaction out, is it too sullen? Gu Qingyuan, what exactly was she thinking?
Gu Yun’er’s eyes widened and looked at Gu Qingyuan incredulously, she actually didn’t leave any mercy at all. This. This is really too much. Especially in front of so many people. Look at Gu Xin’er, Gu Ren’er surprised look. Gu Yun’er cheeks instantly rose red, eyes full of shame and anger, tears fell down the line, teary-eyed haze looked at Gu Qingyuan, choked: “Qing’er sister, I just see you do not understand want to explain to you, teach you a little. I was kind and well-intentioned, but how can you do this? You …… are hurting my sister’s heart too much ……”
“Master Shi Zi!”
The maid’s voice of greeting rang out. And the three words of the World Prince made Gu Yun’er’s hand ready to wipe the corners of her eyes stop instantly and her head jerked up! Gu Xin’er, Gu Ren’er heard the voice also hurriedly got up, stood still, slightly raised her eyes and looked towards the door.
When Xiahou Jueyi’s figure appeared in front of her eyes, Gu Ren’er was stunned, Gu Xin’er’s eyes tightened, Gu Yun’er was fixed, even the teardrops in her eyes were fixed, and the bottom of her teary eyes were full of amazement, hot, and bewildered at the man who walked slowly.
The strong dignity, let people sink handsome beauty, he is Xiahou Jueyi? Gu Yun’er watched with fascination, forgetting the occasion, forgetting the rules, forgetting even more whether this is appropriate! Her eyes couldn’t move away, her heart only had one thought, she wanted to enter the earl’s house, she wanted to be his woman.
Looking at Xiahou Jueyi, Gu Xin’er was the first to come back to her senses, pulling the dazed Gu Ren’er and bending her knees when Xiahou Jueyi walked in, “Greetings, Xiahou Shizi.”
Xiahou Jueyi answered a few inaudible words, raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingyuan’s slightly tired appearance, swept over Gu Yun’er’s dazed, obsessed look, and crossed his eyes with a sullen coldness. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The softness of the corners of the eyes, and the thoughtful and absolutely spoiled action, let Gu Yun’er just red face fiercely white, heart throbbing pain!
Gu Ren’er, Gu Xin’er astonished, such serving people, lowering their status of things are not always subordinates do? The couple, that is also a woman should do ah! In the Gu family on Gu Ting Yuan a businessman man, is then spoiled a woman also never do things to serve women!
But now, this noble Xiahou Shizi, even so condescending to serve Gu Qingyuan! What’s more, although Gu Qingyuan had a smile on her face, her expression was calm, not flattered, nor surprised, astonished! So comfortable, is it not the first time that Xiahou Shizi has done such a thing? It is very incredible, and even more unimaginable.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
The status, power, good looks, these things that make women aspire and heart, Xiahou Shizi he has all. And Gu Qingyuan married such a person, is already very jealous. Now I see this man treating Gu Qingyuan so considerately and lovingly. The woman who has everything in the world like Gu Qingyuan, jealousy is light, cynicism are there!
