Chapter 191: Envy and Jealousy
Princess Haining received a letter from her own people last night, she also didn't sleep all night, and she was even more angry in the morning and didn't even have breakfast, I heard that Emperor Qinglong gave Gong Xiru a marquis mansion, she immediately asked people to send a message to Gong Xiru, and asked him to meet on the path outside the harem.
Gong Xiru came to the bluestone road on the outer wall alone, there was no one in front and behind, and after waiting for a while, she saw Princess Haining dressed as a palace maid.
"Hou Ye is becoming more and more beautiful now, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the position of this princess is not eye-catching." Princess Haining said with an unknown meaning.
Gong Xiru's face was pale and he was silent for a long time.
Princess Haining was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm joking, don't worry about Hou Ye, my position as a concubine is not you, who else will it be, there is no suitable candidate among the princes, and the only man in Beijing who can make me Haining look at it is Hou Ye." ”
Gong Xiru still didn't speak, but it seemed like she understood.
Princess Haining knows the latter's temper, although the poison used for Gong Xiru can make him dislike the person he likes and like the person he doesn't like, but after all, the essential temper will not change much.
Only in this way can Princess Haining rest assured that if Gong Xiru changes her past flattery with her, it will really make people suspicious.
"You're going to move to the Hou Mansion?" Princess Haining asked him.
Gong Xiru nodded slightly: "The emperor has agreed, and I will move to the Hou Mansion in the near future." ”
Princess Haining was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay to move out, it just so happens that I still have some people for you to use, and you can stay in the Hou Mansion as a nursing home." ”
Gong Xiru's eyes sank slightly. Seeing that someone was coming not far away, he gave his hand to the blessing: "I'll go first, someone will contact me if there is something." ”
Princess Haining took the opportunity to catch him. Finally, he asked, "What is the whereabouts of those three people?" ”
"Senior Wang has already sent someone to look for it, if he finds it, he will definitely inform the princess."
Princess Haining snorted coldly: "Those old immortals, there are not enough things to do, there are more than failures, a child, a woman, and a reckless man, and the three of them also make it difficult for them to become like this." I dare to show Princess Ben's face, and when this matter is over, I will definitely ask my father to send them all back. ”
Gong Xiru bowed slightly. Leave with your hands off.
"Princess, the maid always thinks that this marquis seems to ignore you, will you-" The one who spoke was the personal maid Hongmiao brought by Princess Haining from Ningguo.
Princess Haining said secretly in her heart. That's because I didn't see the former Gong Xiru. If you compare it, it is much better now, and he has never looked at himself before.
After Gong Xiru returned to the house, he said to Gong Chengyan, saying that the Hou Mansion was ready-made and only needed to be renovated slightly, and expressed the idea of wanting to move out.
Of course, Gong Chengyan felt that it was more worry-free to put him in front of his eyes. I can see it all day, but I still can't figure out the latter's routine. If people are not under their noses, then they are even more uncontrollable.
With such a thought, he naturally obstructed it in every possible way, and even did not hesitate to carry out the four old ladies of the palace to speak.
"Changyan, I know that you are an independent child, but you have not yet reached the crown after all, and I am also worried about living outside, but you are still obedient and live in the house with peace of mind, and I am also relieved."
Gong Xiru's face was expressionless, and his tone was cold: "Instead of worrying about me, my father should think about how to catch those three people who escaped." If the matter of Wu County is revealed, the entire Gong family is afraid that it will be lost in your hands. ”
Gong Chengyan's face stiffened, and he said coldly: "I have my own opinions on this matter, in short, you can't go out to live now, if you really can't listen to the words, then I can only ask a few old ladies to come forward." ”
A sneer appeared on the corner of Gong Xiru's mouth, "I will live in the mansion in the short term, and once the renovation of the Hou Mansion is completed, I will move out." ”
Gong Chengyan clenched his fists, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, "You are a princess now, so you don't take my father seriously?" Disobedient son, do you still have filial piety in your eyes? ”
"Filial piety? That thing, from the day my mother died, didn't exist for me. Gong Xiru exuded a chill all over her body.
Gong Chengyan was shocked, frowned, and said: "I said this matter, don't discuss it again, your mother accidentally fell off the cliff and died, and I can't complain." ”
Gong Xiru's eyes were sharp, "You can sit in the same carriage as your mother, but you came back alive." I would like to ask, how did my father survive falling off a cliff with the carriage? ”
"That's enough." Gong Chengyan scolded sharply, pointed to the door and shouted: "Unfilial son, I don't want to talk to you, you get out of here." ”
Gong Xiru was obviously used to seeing this, so she restrained the chill on her face and walked out expressionlessly.
"Master Hou shouldn't have a fight with the master at this time." Gong Sheng followed behind Gong Xiru and said in a low voice: "After all, the master is working with Princess Haining, if he says something bad about you in front of the princess, it will be more than worth the loss, and he will endure the calm for a while." ”
"Do you think I need to put up with him?" Gong Xiru stared at Gong Sheng intently.
Gong Sheng sneered: "Hou Ye is now growing in his wings, there is really no need to scruple, but he is your father after all, if he is used by him, and you deduct the infamy of an unfilial son to Hou Ye, it will be really wronged." ”
"I don't care what people think of me."
"Master Hou doesn't even care about Miss Ling's opinion?" Gong Sheng asked knowingly.
Gong Xiru glanced at him angrily: "You don't know her after all, she won't." ”
Gong Sheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Master Hou has a lot of confidence in Miss Ling. After a pause, he said: "Ning Guoren is looking for Huang Wei and them everywhere, do we want to make some stumbling blocks for them." ”
"Do you still need to ask me about this kind of thing?"
Gong Sheng smiled and understood what he meant.
Inside Bihe Hall.
Gong Yunrui walked into the house, shouted "father", went around behind the screen, saw Gong Chengyan writing something, stepped forward and asked, "Why did my father call me?" ”
Gong Chengyan didn't speak, but after writing the things in his hand, he put down his pen and looked up, "Do you know that the emperor gave him a Hou Mansion?" ”
Gong Yunrui's face darkened, "I know." All the good things were gotten by him. Father, I am not reconciled. ”
Gong Chengyan glared at him and scolded angrily: "What's the use of being unwilling? The Father has paved so many paths for you. You didn't make it all. First that stinky girl in Lingfu, and then that princess Haining, you can't even handle two women, how can you handle other big things? ”
Gong Yunrui was unwilling to say: "Lingfu was asked by my father to give up.
Princess Haining? How can my father say that it is not mine, if you didn't say it explicitly, Princess Haining would have used him? He is in the same boat as us, but now he is working for the same people with us. Isn't my father surprised?
I don't know what medicine he gave Princess Haining, but in short, my father is still paying attention to this matter. I don't believe that someone like him can be used. ”
"Where did he give medicine to Princess Haining, he didn't know if he took the medicine himself and was used." Gong Chengyan had a little schadenfreude on his face.
Gong Yunrui was puzzled: "Does the father know something but didn't tell the child?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this matter, in short, on his side, don't do anything for the time being. I've got something else to do with you. Gong Chengyan handed what he had written to Gong Yunrui.
Gong Yunrui finished reading. A sneer appeared on his face: "Father should have been like this a long time ago." ”
"Less nonsense. Hurry up. Gong Chengyan urged.

After more than a month of renovation, Luoxia Garden already has some appearance.
Liang Qi stayed in the courtyard all day long and didn't go out, first, he was worried that someone would come to the door while he was not there and find Huang Wei and others, and secondly, he knew that Ling Yi would look for him from time to time, for fear of missing any orders and delaying things.
On the third day when Huang Wei and the three of them moved in, Ling Yi sent a message to him. said that he was asked to wait in the country of eight sounds.
Liang Zhen did not dare to delay, and immediately went to the country of Eight Sounds after receiving the letter. By the time she arrived, Ling Yi had already disguised herself as Tsuji Niang, chatting with several elders about music.
Liang Yi waited respectfully on the side.
In fact, the main purpose of Ling Yi's coming over today was that the Eight Sound Kingdom wanted to raise a deputy steward and call several elders over to discuss the assessment.
The person who was promoted to be the deputy steward was called Qin Zhu, although he had only been in for less than three months, he was quick and clever in his work, and he was very pleased with several elders.
Originally, people who had only been in for three months were not qualified to be promoted, but this Qin Zhu had a letter of recommendation from Gong Xiru, and the latter was indeed capable, so people had nothing to say.
"What does Elder Tsuji think of this person?" Mr. Guo asked Ling Yi what he meant.
"Since it was recommended by Elder Gong, I think it shouldn't be bad for someone to come. I have no objection. Ling Yi said softly.
Mr. Guo nodded, and asked several other elders, all of whom had no objections.
Finally, he asked Zou Quandao: "What does Steward Zou think?" The deputy steward has not been decided, and the burden on you is heavy.
This time, we will work together to recommend this newcomer Qin Zhu, and we won't let him do anything big, just give you a hand to help deal with some inconsequential things, and you don't have to be busy anymore. ”
Zou Quan smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for your kindness, someone will help me share the burden, what can I object." ”
Mr. Guo laughed, called Qin Zhu in front of him, and told him about the promotion.
Qin Zhu was grateful, kowtowed and thanked him, and said that he must have done his best for the Eight Sound Kingdom and died.
"You don't have to do your best, you just need to work hard." Mr. Guo finally told a few words before letting Qin Zhu continue to do his own thing.
"There's nothing else to do, if you have anything to do, let's go and get busy." Mr. Guo spoke.
Ling Yifu was blessed, and then he went downstairs with a good boil.
Gong Xiru walked behind her, and when she went downstairs, she stepped forward and said, "Elder Tsuji hasn't eaten lunch yet, if you don't dislike it, can you go to eat together?" ”
Ling Yi originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Gong Xiru's slightly expectant eyes, she suddenly couldn't say anything to refuse, so she smiled and said, "Master Hou has a treat, and the surviving people are naturally happy." ”
The corners of Gong Xiru's mouth raised slightly, and he walked in front to lead the way.
"There is a newly opened noodle restaurant on Guitai Street, and the business is very good." He looked at Ling Yi and waited for her to speak.
Ling Yi deliberately teased him: "Master Hou invites someone to dinner, so go to the noodle restaurant?" ”
"You won't regret it." Gong Xiru smiled steadily.
Ling Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, a little curious: "Since Hou Ye is so sure, it would be a pity not to go, and ask Hou Ye to lead the way." ”
Gong Sheng said something silently on the side.
Liang leaned over and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Gong Sheng said to Gong Xiru: "I said, our family's marquis is really a personal essence." (To be continued......)
