Chapter 171: Misunderstanding
Ye Linde, Ye Chen and the others were all sent away, and the maids who were serving Gu and Ye Tingyao followed behind the two ten steps away.
"I don't know where the princess wants to go." Accompanying the Gu family alone, Ye Tingyao was still a little nervous.
Gu Shi smiled, "Yaoyao, where is the scenery in your mansion good?" Or go to your yard. ”
Ye Tingyao was stunned, go to her yard? Two goofy geese were in front of them...... Let's just do it.
"The princess said and laughed, the little girl's yard is very ordinary, by the way, not far away is the hundred gardens, there are many beautiful peonies, there are many beautiful peonies, there is a gazebo nearby, you can rest when you are tired, the princess is willing to go over and see."
"Okay, listen to Yaoyao."
Ye Tingyao instructed the maid to clean up the pavilion near the flower garden in the East Garden, and put the fruits and refreshments on the table.
Gu didn't dare to be interested in the peonies in the flower garden, and said that the palace and the Fang Lin Garden next to the Lujiang River were Prince Mu's mansion, and there were more flowers that bloomed more beautifully than the flower beds.
"Yaoyao, did you and Tianqi know each other when you were in Lianzhou County?" There was no one around, and Gu Shi asked directly.
Ye Tingyao thought about it, she didn't know how much Lu Tianqi had said about her with the Gu family, so she simply nodded, and said vaguely half-truthfully, "The little girl is indeed the prince who met in Lianzhou County, and at that time, the prince was investigating the theft of tribute and was in Lianzhou County. ”
"Yes, there is really a fate between Qi'er and you, the capital and Lianzhou County are thousands of miles apart, but you met because of this one thing alone." Gu's eyes and voice were very gentle, as if he had regarded Ye Tingyao as a junior, "Qi'er must love you very much, even the only jade pendant left by Prince Mu to him was given to you." ”
Ye Tingyao was shocked, and looked down at her waist, "Princess, the little girl didn't know that this jade pendant was so valuable, if she knew, she would definitely not dare to accept it." After that, Ye Tingyao was going to take off the jade pendant and hand it back to Prince Mu.
Gu Shi held Ye Tingyao's hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was incomprehensible. "This is given to you by Qi'er, how can you give it to me, if you let Qi'er know, you will blame me for demolishing his platform. Yaoyao take it first, even if you want to pay it back, you have to pay it back in person. ”
Ye Tingyao was a little embarrassed, and the jade pendant was held in her hand, and it was not hung back on her waist. It doesn't work if you put it in a purse.
Ye Tingyao's palms were hot, and the jade pendant showed a little coolness, which made Ye Tingyao feel a little better, so that she would not sweat in her palms.
Seeing that Ye Tingyao didn't answer, Gu Shi continued, "Yaoyao Bingxue is smart, I think I already know the purpose of my visit today, I didn't mention it in front of everyone in the inner hall before, I wanted to ask you privately and hear what you think." ”
Ye Tingyao said respectfully. "Thank you princess for saving face for the little girl, I don't know what the princess wants to know, the little girl knows everything, and she has endless words, as for the purpose of the princess's visit, please also ask the princess to make it clear that the little girl really doesn't know."
"Okay, then I'll be straight, Yaoyao, Qi'er likes you. I think you also have a deep affection for Qi'er, and I, as an elder, will not embarrass you. Gu Shi said and paused.
Ye Tingyao slandered for a while, how could she have a deep affection for Lu Tianqi. But it doesn't seem right to open your mouth to refute Prince Mu now, so let's listen to what Prince Mu has to say, and return the jade pendant directly after a while.
Ye Tingyao's heart was pounding, and her chest was rising and falling irregularly.
"Yaoyao, I plan to let Qi'er accept you as a side concubine."
Seeing Ye Tingyao's sluggish face, Gu thought that Ye Tingyao was too surprised, so he was stunned all of a sudden. Then he continued, "I know that you must not have expected to become Qi'er's side concubine, otherwise you two children would not have dared to tell me, okay, Yaoyao, you don't have to be too excited, I will discuss this matter with your father in a while, and I will be very happy to come to Ye Langzhong." ”
"Princess, may I ask, is this what the prince meant?" Ye Tingyao unconsciously moved a small step to the side, not wanting to be as close as the Gu family.
"Naturally, it is the meaning of Qi'er, but I also like you very much, so it is also my meaning." The smile on Gu's face had a hint of compassion and charity, and Ye Tingyao looked very uncomfortable.
Ye Tingyao took a deep breath, straightened her waist slightly, and carefully accompanied Gu Shi first, her whole body was about to become a shrimp.
Ye Tingyao pursed her lips and said, "The princess probably misunderstood something, the little girl did not have a deep affection for the prince, let alone thought of marrying into Prince Mu's mansion as a side concubine, as for this jade pendant," Ye Tingyao carefully picked it up, "In fact, when the princess was in Lianzhou County, he encountered some small troubles, because the little girl helped the prince, so she got this jade pendant as a reward, the little girl really didn't know that this jade pendant was so important, if she knew, she would not dare to accept it at the beginning, and asked the princess to take this jade pendant back, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding between each other." ”
Gu's heart sank, and he frowned slightly, "You said that Qi'er gave you such a valuable token is a misunderstanding?" And you have no affection for Qi'er at all, and you don't want to marry into Prince Mu's mansion? ”
Ye Tingyao's originally clear brain began to be slowly eaten away by the white mist, and she nodded stiffly.
Gu's voice trembled a little, "Ye Tingyao, let me ask you, Qi'er knows that all this is just a 'misunderstanding' in your eyes!" ”
Gu came up angrily, she clearly remembered Qi'er's slightly red face when she mentioned Ye Tingyao, remembered that Qi'er knew that she would go to Ye Mansion to propose, and knew that after coming back, she could welcome Ye Tingyao into the door!
She deigned to come to the Ye Mansion in person, Ye Tingyao dared to tell her that it was a misunderstanding, Gu was so angry that she couldn't breathe, "Ye Tingyao, since you are ruthless to Qi'er, why do you want to send Qi'er pastries, why do you pester Qi'er, you are an innocent woman from an official family, you can play with other people's feelings casually, it's really unbelievable." ”
Ye Tingyao's expression was as if she was dyed, she was really aggrieved, the pastries were taken away by Lu Tianqi by himself, and it was Lu Tianqi who drilled Ye Mansion, her wing, and her carriage all day long...... Ye Tingyao wanted to cry for a moment, she was grateful to Lu Tianqi for being kind to her, and admitted that she had feelings for Lu Tianqi, but no matter what, if she wanted her to be Lu Tianqi's side concubine and share a man with a large group of women, she couldn't do it.
Ye Tingyao pulled the corners of her mouth, her voice hoarse, "Please don't be excited, whether the princess believes it or not, the little girl has not pestered the prince, in order to avoid further misunderstandings, the little girl will pay more attention in the future, and will not have any more dealings with the princess." ”
Ye Tingyao lifted the white jade pendant higher, her shoulders were as sore as her chest and the tip of her nose.
Gu Shi took a deep breath, her mood fluctuated greatly, but her extraordinary upbringing prevented her from saying excessive words and acting excessively.
Ye Tingyao watched in a daze as the Gu family took the jade pendant away from her, and the burden of a thousand catties was gone, but Ye Tingyao was half weak and weak.
Gu said something again, Ye Tingyao didn't hear it clearly, and it wasn't until Gu said goodbye that Ye Tingyao reacted, and wanted to send Gu out of the house, but was stopped by Gu's cold eyes.
After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Linde was shocked to learn that Prince Mu and Princess Mu had left, and hurriedly went to the East Garden to find Ye Tingyao to ask about the situation...... (To be continued.) )
