After about a cup of tea, Yin Suwan was already asleep, Qi Hao got up from the bed lightly, closed the door and walked to the study.

Du Jiang walked up to him and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, I found it." ”

Qi Hao paused, his eyes fell on Wafei in Qiuju Courtyard, and asked, "Is it her?" ”

Du Jiang nodded, "It's her." ”

Qi Hao sneered and said quietly: "She has been honest for so many years, and finally she can't sit still!" ”

Du Jiang said: "Lord Wang, do you want to do it now?" ”

Qi Hao shook his head and said slowly: "Let's wait and see what happens." ”

After a pause, he asked, "How is the Dongshan military camp now?" ”

Du Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Qin Feng sent news back and said that the soldiers were well-trained and everything was as usual. But...... However, last night there was a fire in the granary. ”

"Why do you say it now?" When Qi Hao heard this, his face turned cold, and he said unhappily: "Is the loss a lot? ”

Du Jiang swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "The loss is not big, it's just that this fire is inexplicable, and I can't find the reason." ”

"Go and check, this king doesn't believe that the granary will catch fire for no reason!" Qi Hao flicked his sleeves, turned around angrily, and said in an unclear tone: "You ask Steward Zhou to go to Yunshuifang to make three sets of clothes now, and send a few sets of jewelry from Qimeng Pavilion to Fuyuan Courtyard!" ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Du Jiang thought that he had heard it wrong, and subconsciously plucked out his ears, "Lord Wang, which courtyard are you talking about?" ”

Qi Hao said expressionlessly: "Fuyuan Academy." ”

Du Jiang opened his mouth wide: "Fu...... Fugain? ”

Qimengge is the best jewelry shop, and Yunshuifang is the largest clothing shop in Beijing, and the clothes inside are made of the best materials. There are also many styles, but a child's coat costs at least a hundred taels of silver.

The workmanship of women's clothes is more cumbersome, how much silver should it cost for three sets!

Moreover, it would not be uncommon for the prince to give it to the princess, but he actually wanted to give it to Concubine Gu!

This...... How can this not be surprising?

Could it be that the prince is ...... to Concubine Gu

Du Jiang rarely gossiped, but at this moment he had to think about it.

The princess has a gentle temperament, and she is a childhood sweetheart with the prince, although everyone says that she and the princess are a match made in heaven, but Du Jiang always feels that the prince and the princess are missing something together.

And as long as the prince touches Concubine Gu, it will be a spark.

It doesn't matter if you love fire or hate fire. In short, it feels completely different!

How to say it, the prince was too cold in the past, and he always suppressed seven feelings and six desires in his heart, and the only warmth was only given to the princess.

But now, the prince will no longer deliberately restrain his temper, he will be angry, he will be angry, and he is changing in the direction of a "normal person".

Of course, although it is not a good thing to be angry and angry, at least the prince looks a little humane!

This seems to be thanks to Concubine Gu!

And also. Except for buying things for the princess, the prince seems to have never bought anything for other women......

The more Du Jiang thought about it, the more excited he became, and he suddenly wanted to go to the Dongshan military camp and tell Qin Feng about this major discovery!

Probably because Du Jiang's eyes were too excited, Qi Hao cleared his throat, turned his face and said: "Gu Jinxiu is going to enter the palace with this king for a banquet tomorrow, if he is too shabby, won't he lose the face of this king?" ”

Du Jiang stared at Qi Hao tightly, and finally caught the unnaturalness on his face, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, what the prince said!" ”

"That'...... And what about the princess? There are also Mrs. Jade and Mrs. Liu. Shouldn't it also be ......?"

Women will compare, if Qi Hao only bought clothes and jewelry for Gu Jinli, then the other three would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Especially Mrs. Yu, a woman, has to make the palace a miasma again.

Qi Hao frowned, and said coldly: "Wanwan has five sets, and the others have one set." ”

"Uh...... Be. Although it is a bit obvious to favor one over the other, but one set is better than nothing, Du Jiang answered, and went to the backyard to find Steward Zhou.

Qi Hao stood in place, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Without thinking about it just now, I asked Steward Zhou to make three sets for Gu Jinli, would it be a bit too much?

She can't attend a few occasions again, so why buy so much!

Raising his hand and knocking on the door of his head, Qi Hao strode into the study.

In the evening, as soon as Aiyue came out of the room, she saw Steward Zhou carrying two servants into the courtyard with something.

With wide eyes, she stepped forward and puzzled: "Steward Zhou, ...... are you?"

Steward Zhou let go, pointed to the clothes in the hands of the servant beside him, and said, "The prince asked Concubine Gu to accompany him to the palace for a banquet tomorrow, so he ordered the old slave to specially prepare the clothes of Yunshuifang and the jewelry of Qimengge for Concubine Gu. ”

"Uh...... These are all for our young lady? Aiyue was stunned, looking at the gorgeous and delicate clothes, she couldn't help but be a little excited.

Although these things are not for her, there is also a feeling of both glory and loss!

Steward Zhou nodded and said, "Yes." ”

After hearing this, Aiyue immediately turned around and ran back to the house at a lightning speed, "Miss, Miss! ”

Gu Jinli was idle and bored embroidering a handkerchief, and when she heard Aiyue's shouting, she was pricked by the needle in her hand.

Seeing this, Hexiang hurriedly worried: "Miss, how is it?" Does it hurt? ”

"No bleeding." Gu Jinli shook her head and turned her head to look at Aiyue, who was blushing, "What is it that makes you so excited?" ”

"Miss, Lord Wang, he asked Steward Zhou to ......" Aiyue took a few breaths, and before she finished speaking, she saw Steward Zhou come in.

After saluting, he repeated what he had just said to Aiyue.

Gu Jinli glanced at the clothes and jewelry, and frowned: "Steward Zhou, please go back and tell the prince, just say that I am humble and unworthy of entering the palace." ”

After a pause, he said, "Thank you for your love for me, and ask Steward Zhou to bring it back with you." ”

She didn't see any festive look on her face, and she also refused these valuable clothes, which made Steward Zhou's eyes widen, and she confirmed again: "Concubine Gu, are you really not going?" ”

When I went to the other courtyards just now, those ladies saw the prince's reward, and none of them were unhappy and flattered, and Concubine Gu's reaction was too much, right?

How could she be so calm, how could she dare to refuse the prince?

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu are probably eager to follow the prince, and it is estimated that they will know about it, and they must be scolding Concubine Gu for not knowing how to lift!

Gu Jinli nodded and said lightly: "Don't go." ”

"Miss......" Aiyue wanted to say, if she refused like that, Qi Hao. If you provoke him, you will definitely have to be in trouble again, but Hexiang tugged at her arm at this time and whispered, "Miss has her own number." ”

Steward Zhou saw that she was resolute, and she didn't seem to pretend to be a tall shelf, so she had to sneer: "That...... The old slave will go back to the prince. ”

With that, he motioned for his subordinates to pick up their things and go back the way they came.

After Steward Zhou left, Aiyue pouted and puzzled: "Miss, why do you want to refuse!" The jewelry of Qimeng Pavilion, the clothes of Yunshuifang, these are all genuine good things! ”

Looking at Aiyue's distressed appearance, Gu Jinli smiled and said, "What's the matter, I bought you with such a little thing?" ”

"Miss, is the slave such a superficial person?!" Aiyue snorted lightly and raised her chin, "The slave maid is thinking that the clothes in Yunshuifang are all made of gold and silver threads, as well as the jewelry of Qimeng Pavilion, if we sell them secretly, then we can have a lot of silver!" ”

Secretly looking outside, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Didn't Miss want to take us out of the palace?" With money, our lives won't be sad! ”

"You!" Gu Jinli poked Aiyue's head lightly, helpless and funny: "The clothes of Yunshuifang and the jewelry of Qimengge can be seen at a glance by a discerning person, and various styles are often only produced once, and there is no similarity." ”

"If you really dare to sell those things, you won't have to go out the next day, Qi Hao will be able to receive the news, and then you won't have time to cry!"

Sighing lightly, Gu Jinli said slowly: "Don't worry about the silver, let's go to the teahouse in a few days to see how it is open." ”

Since it is Xuan Shizi's return to Beijing, in addition to the concubines and princesses in the palace, the ministers of the court and the daughters of various families will also attend, and the number of people can be imagined.

Where there are people, there will always be fights, and the queen mother's birthday banquet offended the royal ladies represented by Princess Huaqiong, they saw themselves this time, and they had to seize the opportunity to stumble on her?

If she accepts the things, it means that she agrees to attend the palace banquet tomorrow.

There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, and the dangers in the palace are even more than that.

The jealousy and malice of women are the most terrible, so she would rather choose to anger Qi Hao than go to the women's pile to find unhappiness!

Aiyue nodded, and when she saw that it was getting dark outside, she said, "Miss, the slave maid will go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for you." ”

"Go ahead." Gu Jinli smiled, and after seeing Aiyue leave, her eyes dimmed, and asked, "What happened to Jin Mei's corpse?" ”

He Xiang said: "After Jin Mei and Cui Ping were killed with a cane, their bodies were thrown into the grave and fed to the dogs. ”

Gu Jinli said "um" and didn't speak again.

He Xiang thought for a while, and then said, "Mama Gui's injury is not serious, just rest for a few days." ”

Squinting her eyes, Gu Jinli said coldly: "Hexiang, these days, you hurry up and choose two more clever and smart girls from the courtyard to serve me." ”

"Miss......" Hexiang's first reaction was that Gu Jinli didn't need them anymore, so her eyes immediately turned red.

Gu Jinli patted her hand. He said in a deep voice: "Don't think nonsense, Jin Mei and Ming Tao are dead, if you don't find someone to top, the work of the two of them can only be handed over to you and Aiyue to do, I don't want you to be too tired." ”

When Hexiang heard this, she was very moved, and her eyes moistened, "Thank you, Miss." ”

"First, I want to make it easier for the two of you, and second, ...... This time, I knew who was behind the poison, but I didn't have enough evidence. Only when there are new people around me will those people take the next step. Gu Jinli took a deep breath and said quietly: "Whether it's Yin Suwan, or Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Liu, I must find enough evidence!" ”

The first time was to harm her with the hands of Mama Gui, the second time was to poison her with Jin Mei's hands, and the next time, even if it was Yin Suwan, she would have to pull her in front of Qi Hao!

One after another, there is nothing to look for, aren't these people all crying when they don't see the coffin? Then you will let them cry and there is no place to cry!

He Xiang rarely saw Gu Jinli's cold eyes, and couldn't help but be startled, but she also understood that she must be extremely annoyed.

Pouring a cup of tea, Hexiang said cautiously: "Miss...... What if the prince gets angry? ”

"Hmm...... Let's just say that I will be unwell when I come back, and that there will be any fire waiting for him to come back from the banquet tomorrow. Gu Jinli took two sips of tea, and her tone was meaningless.

"Uh...... Be. He Xiang thought of Qi Hao's iceberg-like cold face, and unconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead.

Their young lady...... It seems that he is getting bolder, is this a good thing or a bad thing!

Sure enough, in the study, Steward Zhou trembled in a burst of low air pressure and relayed Gu Jinli's words to Qi Hao as they were.

Qi Hao grabbed the brush in his hand hard, and the bone joints made a "creaking" sound, indicating that he was very angry at this time.

With his eyes like a cold star, he said word by word: "She said she didn't want to?" ”

Steward Zhou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice was smaller than that of a mosquito, and it took a while for him to spit out a word: "Yes." ”

"Heh, Gu Jinxiu is really capable, he dares to refuse this king!"

With a "click", the barrel of the pen was broken.

The flying ink splashed a few drops on Steward Zhou's old face.

He stood motionless and did not dare to move, for fear of angering Qi Hao again.

With a cold snort, Qi Hao flicked his sleeves and floated past Steward Zhou's eyes like the wind.

When he reacted, "bang", the door of the study had been slammed by Qi Hao.

During the day, Mrs. Yu was very aggrieved because she was reprimanded by Qi Hao in Yixin Courtyard, but to her surprise, Steward Zhou actually sent clothes and jewelry, and her unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

However, after she asked if anyone else had a part. Steward Zhou's honest answer made her smug face freeze suddenly, and no matter how gorgeous the clothes and beautiful jewelry were, it became a great irony in her eyes.

Unwilling and jealous, she had nowhere to talk to, so she had to go to Qiu Ju Courtyard to find Mrs. Liu to vent her bitterness.

Mrs. Liu also received only one set of clothes and one set of jewelry, but she was happy and touched from the bottom of her heart.

It's like water in a teacup, some people see that only half of it is left, and some people see that there is still half of it left, so Mrs. Liu, who has not felt Qi Hao's warmth and care for many years, only smiled faintly or said a few words of lukewarm comfort in the face of Mrs. Yu's chattering abuse and accusations.

After Mrs. Yu spoke dryly, and after drinking a whole pot of tea, she saw that Mrs. Liu yawned tiredly, and she didn't want to disturb Mrs. Liu's rest anymore, and finally left Qiuju Courtyard unhappy.

"Master, this Jade Lady is so annoying, she can't even read words and looks, no wonder the prince doesn't like her!" Xueqin carefully slapped Mrs. Liu's shoulder, and pouted with disdain.

Mrs. Liu shook her head, her eyes fell on the clothes that were really beautiful and people couldn't take their eyes off them, and something under her eyes melted little by little.

"Hmph, what kind of virtuous and generous pretend, obviously I am also unhappy in my heart, it's really hypocritical!" After Mrs. Yu left the Qiu Ju Courtyard, she shook her handkerchief and slapped the flowers on the side of the road while breaking her thoughts.

"Huh?" Madame Yu's eyes lit up, and she saw Qi Hao coming from the side path angrily.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" She pulled her collar down and threw herself on Qi Hao.

Qi Hao wanted to go to the Fuyuan Courtyard to question Gu Jinli at this time, where was he in the mood to pay attention to Mrs. Yu.

Shoved her hard and said angrily, "Get out of here!" ”

"Ouch!" Lady Jade happened to be pushed down on the raised stone on the ground, and tears came out of her eyes in pain.

Seeing Qi Hao leave without looking back, she struggled to get up from the ground, and shouted behind her with a cry in her voice: "Woo...... Lord, Lord! ”

However, Qi Hao has long since gone away.

The grief and indignation of this day all turned into tears at this moment. Madame Jade couldn't hold back any longer, and began to cry, "Woo...... Lord Wang, how can you treat the concubine like this......"

And like the last night, when she stopped him halfway, she was left behind by him mercilessly......

Qi Hao, he still went to Fuyuan Academy......

Why, what exactly did she do wrong? He's going to do this to her!

The tears fell more and more, and the lady Yu, who was babbling and brainless during the day, was now crying heartbreakingly. became a tearful man.

I don't know how long she cried, her legs were sore, and she almost fell to the ground.

As soon as her waist tightened, a big hand held her waist.

"Lord Wang?" Subconsciously looking back, Mrs. Yu was disappointed.

Quickly wiping away her tears, she knocked the man's hand off.

Even though her eyes were red, she regained her arrogant demeanor in the blink of an eye: "Bold dog minion, you dare to be disrespectful to Mrs. Ben, Mrs. Ben wants the prince to chop off your hand!" ”

Lin Chao took off his coat and said without humility or arrogance: "Madam, the villain was an unintentional move just now. Please also forgive your sins. ”

"You...... What are you going to do to Mrs. Ben? "It's one thing to secretly lust Lin Chao, but it's another thing if Lin Chao really does.

Therefore, Madame Yu took a few steps back in fear and pointed at Lin Chao's? Sharp, pretending to say: "I advise you, it's better to give it now...... Get out of the way to Mrs. Ben! ”

"Madam, the night is heavy, you will catch a cold if you stay outside for a long time, so let's go back first." Draped his coat over Mrs. Yu's shoulders, Lin Chao bowed and was about to leave.

Mrs. Yu looked down at the clothes on her shoulders and was stunned for a moment, and then shouted to Lin Chao: "Stop!" ”

Lin Chao's footsteps stopped. Said respectfully: "Madam, what else is the matter?" ”

Mrs. Yu looked straight at Lin Chao and blurted out, "Why are you so good to me?" ”

Half of Lin Chao's face was blocked by the mottled bamboo shadow on the side, and he was only heard whispering: "The villain just can't bear to see Madame sad." ”

When Mrs. Yu heard this, as if some secret had been spied on, she stepped forward and snorted coldly: "Which eye do you have to see that Mrs. Ben is sad?" Besides, Mrs. Ben eats and drinks spicy food in this palace, isn't it better than you cheap slaves? ”

"Ridiculous, what is there to be sad about Mrs. Ben!"

"The cold in the body can be warmed by clothes, and the cold in the heart can only be covered by yourself, madam." Lin Chao's voice was neither loud nor small, but when Mrs. Yu heard it, her heart was shocked.

She was a little incredulous, "You...... What did you say? ”

Lin Chao pursed his lips, "Madam, you are not happy in the mansion. The villain watched the prince snub you...... Distressed. ”

These thoughtful words made Mrs. Yu's dried tears welled up again.

She didn't expect that a little servant would understand her heart.

He said that he felt sorry for her?

has followed Qi Hao for so many years, except for a few times when he needs to go to her. In addition, if he doesn't even give her a straight eye, how dare he dare to expect him to understand himself and understand his love for him?

Of course, Mrs. Yu's love for Qi Hao is not completely pure and flawless, unadulterated love.

After all, in her eyes, whoever is favored will have a noble status in this mansion and a great power in his hands......

It's just that after so many years, Mrs. Yu's self-righteous "love" has gradually faded in Qi Hao's coldness and the consumption of time.

Most of those who stayed were unwilling......

Lin Chao arched his hand, "Madame, take care, the villain will go back first." ”

"Uh...... Madam, you ...... What are you doing here?! Lin Chao's back was cold and was hugged tightly by Mrs. Yu, so shocked that he couldn't even speak, "Let it go...... Let go of the villain...... Madam...... That's not good! ”

Mrs. Yu straightened Lin Chao's body, threw the clothes he had draped on her body on the ground, pulled his collar with both hands, and said with red eyes: "Lin Chao, Mrs. Ben asks you." Do you dare to ask me? ”

Lin Chao's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he said in surprise: "Madam, the villain ......"

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was blocked by Madame Yu's delicate lips.

Lin Chao wanted to reach out and push Mrs. Yu away, but she hugged her tightly.

He had never been in contact with a woman, so he jerkily made the fire in Mrs. Yu's heart even stronger.

Her tongue was as sensitive as a snake, teasing every nerve of Lin Chao with all her might.

Lin Chao was a man after all, and he quickly reacted and pushed Madame Yu against the wall......

There are bamboo forests on both sides, at the end of the path. No one would ever find out that there were two people in a dark corner doing something rebellious......

In the Yixin courtyard, Shuang'er came in with medicine, "Princess, it's time to drink medicine." ”

Yin Suwan sighed, took it and pinched it? The child drank it all.

After filling her mouth with a candied fruit, she asked, "Is the prince still in the study?" ”

Shuang'er hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Slave maid...... The slave maid heard that the prince had just gone to the Fuyuan Temple. ”

Yin Suwan listened, her cold eyes stared at Shuang'er, and her voice made people shudder: "What are you going to do in Fuyuan Courtyard?" Didn't the clothes and jewelry already be sent over by Steward Zhou? ”

Although his clothes are the most numerous of the four, he is still a little unhappy.

I thought that Qi Hao would treat Gu Jinli like Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yu, with a set of clothes and a set of jewelry. However, it is only two sets less than himself......

She knew about Steward Zhou's delivery of clothes to each yard, but she didn't know that Gu Jinli asked Steward Zhou to bring things back again.

Shuang'er said: "Steward Zhou...... Steward Zhou said that Concubine Gu was reluctant to accompany the prince into the palace, so the prince ...... He should have gone to the Hibiscus Temple because of this, right? ”

"Don't want to?" When Yin Suwan heard this, the smile on the corner of her lips turned cold, "Gu Jinxiu will want to be captured!" ”

Shuang'er tucked the corners of the quilt for Yin Suwan and said tentatively: "Princess...... This Concubine Gu is good at playing tricks. Forgive the slave and maid for daring to say, let's get rid of her as soon as possible! So as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

Yin Suwan clenched her fists and gritted her teeth? "She made my leg so bad, do you really think I'm so kind and don't want to get rid of her?" Oh, she was able to save the day twice. If it's really that good, do you think Mama Gui can still lie in bed now? ”

Shuang'er's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head.

Yin Suwan, who has such a fierce eye, really hates Gu Jinli, right?

Otherwise, how could a person who has always been soft and weak, delicate and gentle, reveal his true face so without scruples?

Removing the hatred in her eyes, Yin Suwan waved her hand and motioned for Shuang'er to retreat.

When the door closed, she lifted the hem of her clothes, touched the ugly centipede-like scar on her leg, and said softly, "Gu Jinxiu." It's okay, I wouldn't mind letting you live a few more days! ”

Good night...... I may go to work on the 24th, high school Chinese, if you have morning self-study, you have to arrive at school at 6 o'clock, and if you have evening self-study, you have to leave school at 10 o'clock in the evening...... During the day, I went to class, listened to classes, and prepared for classes, and I suddenly felt so scared...... Silence.
