Chapter 129: Defecting to the Prince
No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, Gu Caiwei could only write a message to Princess Taiping later.
Princess Taiping really replied and invited her to go to Luoyang to enjoy the chrysanthemums.
Sandwiched between the replies, there is also the title deed of a house in Luoyang. Look at that place, it's not far from the palace!
Holding this reply in her hand, Gu Caiwei had mixed feelings in her heart.
Chrysanthemums are available everywhere, but go to Luoyang to enjoy the flowers...... Even, in order to let her enjoy the flowers with peace of mind, Princess Taiping also directly gave her a valuable house! This cost is also large enough.
"Now, Her Majesty the Empress has gotten up and gone to Luoyang, the capital of the gods." Du Junqing said, "Many important ministers in the court also followed, and so did Di Ge. β
Gu Caiwei sighed helplessly.
Chang'an was originally the base of the Li Tang Dynasty, and Her Majesty the Empress since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty has designated Luoyang as the capital of the gods, that is, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she spent almost half of her time in Luoyang. However, for various reasons, she still has to come to Chang'an from time to time. Therefore, whether it is the emperor's relatives or important ministers in the court, most of them have a house in Chang'an and Luoyang.
However, Du Junqing did not.
Not only Du Junqing, but also the Lai Guo Mansion!
When the empress ascended the throne, the Duke of Laiguo had been in despair for many years, and they did not squeeze into the encirclement around the empress, so naturally there was no need to run with the empress Chang'an Luoyang.
As a result, who would have thought that now a wisp of green smoke suddenly appeared on the ancestral tomb of the Du family, and a Du Junqing who could enter the eyes of the empress was born?
Over the years, the housing prices in Luoyang have risen again and again, and they want to buy a better house there, but they have to pay a lot of money. But they didn't plan to live in that place for long at all, and it was in vain to buy it.
So now, if they really want to go to Luoyang, there seems to be no other choice than to live in the mansion arranged by Princess Taiping.
"It's just that in this way, we owe the princess a favor again. If she asks us, we can't refuse. Gu Caiwei said in a low voice.
"It's as if she wouldn't ask for us if she didn't take this house. And as long as she mentions it, where do we have a position to refuse? Du Junqing immediately responded, "Don't you know the princess's temperament?" She can salute first and then soldier, which is deliberately polite to us. If we don't accept her kindness, she should just do it. β
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched.
But she also knew that what Du Junqing said was the truth. I think at the beginning, didn't Princess Taiping just call her and drink it directly at the beginning? Later, seeing that Du Junqing slowly got out of the way in Chang'an City, and she also showed a certain ability, Princess Taiping's attitude improved a little.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help but sigh again. "In this way, we must step on this thief ship!"
"Then let's step on! It's better than stepping on a samurai's thief ship. Du Jun said indifferently.
So, the matter of going to Luoyang was decided.
However, when Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi heard that they were going to Luoyang soon, they were very happy.
"Daddy and Auntie, can we stop by and go to Luoyang with you? I haven't seen Erlang for a long time, and I want to meet him first before going to Yongxing County. Du Yi hurriedly said.
Although his height has become much taller than Xiao Langjun of the same age, and under the tempering of Fu Fengzi, his skin has become dark and dark, and he can clearly see pieces of flesh on his arms and legs. Now that he goes out to fight, I'm afraid that other Xiaolangjun won't be able to beat him!
But in front of Gu Caiwei, Du Yi was still like a little doll, softly holding her hand and being cute.
Gu Caiwei looked at this cheap son who was obviously more than two laps older, and goosebumps fell straight down her arms. This feeling is similar to every time Du Junqing pretends to be pitiful and drills into her arms.
Gu Caiwei had mixed feelings in her heart.
On the one hand, she was moved that Du Yi was still so close to her. But on the other hand...... With Du Yi's current honor, he is really not suitable for being coquettish anymore.
Gritting her teeth and taking a deep breath, she hurriedly rubbed Du Junqing's head. "Go if you want! Anyway, if you go from Chang'an to Yongxing County, you won't detour for two more days on the way, and this time is nothing. β
The two little guys immediately cheered, and even hurried to prepare a gift for Xue Chongjian!
Two days later, Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing packed their luggage, and they went to Luoyang.
But Qi and Gu Chengfeng did not accompany them.
"Awei, you have grown up, and now you are married, and the next road Daddy and Auntie will not accompany you. You and your son-in-law remember to support each other, go slowly, and don't be in a hurry. Qi Shi only said this to her.
Gu Chengyuan looked at Du Junqing. "I'll leave my daughter to you. Although she is a little short-tempered, she has been pampered by us since she was a child, and she never wants to suffer, but she definitely deserves to be good to her. β
"I know. I will always be good to her. Du Junqing nodded immediately.
After Gu Chengfeng and his wife finished explaining, they waved goodbye to Gu Caiwei and his wife, and the two of them pedaled back to Xuzhou to live in seclusion.
Seeing her father's carriage go out far away, Gu Caiwei couldn't help her tears, her eyes stared at the direction of the carriage and refused to move her gaze.
Du Junqing hurriedly pulled her up. "Let's go! It's time for us to go. β
Gu Caiwei was slowly pulled into the car by her, and the coachman immediately flicked the whip and took them to Luoyang.
It's just that Gu Caiwei's soul has not been in good spirits for a long time because her soul has completely occupied this body, so they are walking very slowly. When they were still walking slowly and leisurely on the morning road, King Luling's family had already returned to Luoyang. Then, the prime minister Li Dan took the initiative to give up the crown prince to the king of Luling, and the king of Luling became the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Princess Wei of Luling was named the crown princess, and several of their children were also crowned kings and county lords, and they were glorious for a while.
When Gu Caiwei and the others arrived in Luoyang, it was the time when the family was in the limelight.
Regarding this, Du Junqing only said one sentence: "Now, Elder Di Ge should be able to rest assured." β
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Perhaps!"
They are not familiar with King Luling, and now it is the time for the new prince's family to contact people everywhere, Du Junqing and Gu Caiwei are very familiar and retreat to the side.
It's just that they want to stay away from right and wrong, but some people are not happy to let them be so idle - the day after they settled in Luoyang, Princess Taiping ordered someone to send an invitation and invited them to the princess's mansion for a banquet three days later.
"It's time to come." Gu Caiwei pinched the invitation and glanced at it, and she threw it aside.
Du Junqing didn't see it, just nodded indifferently. "Since you're here, let's deal with it head-on, it's not a big deal."
"That's right." Gu Caiwei nodded.
Therefore, three days later, the family dressed up and went to the princess's mansion together.
This time, the princess's mansion was still full of guests. Gu Caiwei only made a few snacks as usual, and brought them over as a meeting gift for Princess Taiping.
As soon as the porter who guided the door saw this gift, he hurriedly stepped forward to invite Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing: "Is it Mrs. Changning Hou who has arrived?" The princess has been waiting for you for a long time, and I would like to ask a few of you to come over here! β
This incident immediately caused a lot of sensation among the guests - in the past two years, as Her Majesty the Empress slowly relaxed the clamp on Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping gradually began to meddle in court politics, and now she has a lot of power. Especially this time, when the Luling Wang's family returned to Luoyang, she was also energetic. In just such a short period of time, she has already successfully matched the crown prince and many nobles in the court.
It's just that those who can be favored by Princess Taiping must be talents among talents. But in front of them, Changning Hou and his wife ...... Was the princess too enthusiastic about them? Didn't they just find an iron mine? The mining rights of this iron ore are now given to the imperial court!
Facing the gazes projected from all directions, Du Junqing and Gu Caiwei were calm.
"Really? Then lead the way! "I knew that I couldn't get away with this matter today, so Gu Caiwei simply treated it calmly.
The porter nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly called a maid over and led them to the back to see Princess Taiping.
As for Du Junqing and Gu Tianyuan, they naturally have where they should go.
At this time, Princess Taiping was laughing with several noble ladies. As soon as Gu Caiwei walked in, she saw that Princess Taiping was holding a few small plates in her hand, and there were a few delicately shaped pastries on the platesβthose were the ones she had just sent!
So soon, they had just handed over the things to the porter, and then they had already delivered them to the princess!
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei was slightly stunned.
Princess Taiping had also discovered her, and she immediately smiled and said, "Mrs. Changning Hou is really a big face!" Last time, the princess had a fight with you, and then you got angry, and you haven't paid any attention to me until now. If I hadn't taken the initiative to find you this time, wouldn't you still have come to see me? β
Well, as soon as we met, she put a big hat on top of her head. It's like everything is her fault!
Obviously, they were working on their own at the beginning, and they couldn't go on at all, okay?
It's just that in front of so many people, Gu Caiwei still bowed her head and admitted her mistake. "I was wrong, please princess, don't care about villains, don't be like me."
"If I were as knowledgeable as you, would you still be standing here in peace?" Princess Taiping smiled lightly and beckoned to her, "Okay, come and sit down!" I've forgotten all about the past, but the pastries you made are still as delicious as ever. It's amazing how many cooks I've hired to cook it over the past year, but I still can't make that taste! β
"Of course. If my craft could be imitated casually, would you still care so much about me, princess? Gu Caiwei has always been proud of her cooking skills.
At this time, it was Princess Taiping's turn to be stunned for a moment, and then she smiled and said, "Your courage is really getting bigger and bigger!" β
"Thank you, princess, for the compliment." Gu Caiwei smiled and bowed her head, and then Shi Shiran went over and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, the noble ladies who were still sitting here received Princess Taiping's signal and got up to say goodbye.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but look at Princess Taiping again.
Princess Taiping pursed her lips. "Why, don't I be allowed to deliberately find a few people to strengthen my momentum, so as to crush you, an unruly little lady?"
Gu Caiwei chuckled: "Princess, you're too worried." Since I agreed to your invitation, it means that I have taken the initiative to bow my head. And the reason why you're doing this now isn't actually because you want to use their identities to put pressure on me, butβyou want to use their mouths to let others know that Changning Hou took his mine to you, right? β
Princess Taiping's eyes darkened instantly. "Gu, as a woman, it's not a good thing that you're too smart. Especially if you speak so sharply, if you are not careful, you will cause yourself to be killed. β
"Then princess, will you kill me?" Gu Caiwei only asked.
"Of course not. I've just started to use you, so why am I willing to kill you? A light smile slowly appeared on Princess Taiping's face, "Moreover, since I know your true identity, I am even more reluctant." You said that you concealed it so well, and even deceived me! β
Sure enough, she knew about it.
Gu Caiwei lowered her eyes. "If I say this kind of thing myself, how many people will believe it? If I had talked too much, I would have become a madman in the eyes of others. β
"That's right." Princess Taiping bowed, she couldn't sit still, but stood up instead, took the initiative to circle around Gu Caiwei several times, and looked her up and down, "But I look at your appearance, from the beginning to the present, there is no sense of disobedience at all." How did you do that? β
"This princess, you really embarrassed me. Until now, I didn't know what was going on! Didn't Her Majesty the Empress also send Qin Tianjian to observe before, they must know better than me. Gu Caiwei pretended to be stupid.
Although Princess Taiping was interested in what happened to her, she was not happy to say more when she saw her, so she didn't ask any more, so she just said: "The purpose of inviting you here this time, I think you already know it." β
Gu Caiwei bowed. "Yes."
"Then I don't know what Mrs. Changning Hou thinks in her heart?"
"Do I have any options?" Gu Caiwei smiled lightly, "We have already had a quarrel with your husband's family before, and there have been several human lives, and our dispute will not be broken in the future." β
"The martial family is the martial family, not my husband's family." Princess Taiping suddenly interrupted her coldly.
Gu Caiwei is as good as flowing: "We and the martial arts family are already incompatible with each other, and the differences will only get bigger and bigger in the future." However, we are weak, and if we continue to fight like this for a long time, we will definitely suffer in the end. Therefore, since you have now taken the initiative to lend a helping hand to us, Princess, we will not hold it in our hands unless we are stupid. β
Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows. "You answered so briskly? Don't you need to discuss it with Changning Hou? β
"We have discussed this kind of thing before we came, and we have already made a decision, so we don't need to say more." Gu Caiwei shook her head.
Now in this world, they have no choice, so there is no need to pretend to hesitate, everyone quickly speaks up, and then assigns tasks to each other and does their part.
Princess Taiping couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Mrs. Changninghou, you are such a wonderful person, I like to talk to you! I haven't dealt with you in over a year, and God knows how boring my life is! β
Gu Caiwei hurriedly lowered her head and made a docile appearance.
Not long after, the maid outside came over to report: "The crown princess, as well as the county lord of Xindu, the county lord of Yongtai, the county lord of Anle and others are here." β
Princess Taiping's eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly beckoned to Gu Caiwei. "Let's go! Since they are already grasshoppers on a rope, I'll take you to see a few more grasshoppers! β
If the crown princess knew that Princess Taiping directly called them grasshoppers, I don't know how they would feel in their hearts?
Gu Caiwei thought secretly in her heart, and her feet still obediently followed Princess Taiping forward.
Soon, they met the oncoming Crown Princess Webster and his party halfway through.
When everyone saw each other, it was natural to have a good greeting.
Princess Taiping warmly called Wei's sister-in-law, and the county lord of Xindu affectionately called Aunt Taiping around Princess Taiping.
But Gu Caiwei stood not far away, and she clearly didn't see much sincerity in the eyes of these people. Princess Taiping is better, but the crown princess and her party are ......
Perhaps because she had suffered too much in Luling County, Princess Wei's face was obviously a little vicissitudes, and the thick fat powder on her face couldn't cover the thin lines at the corners of her eyes. Even now that she is already the crown princess, she is very cautious in talking and doing things in front of Princess Taiping's sister-in-law, and she has to pay attention to the changes in Princess Taiping's face from time to time, lest she say something that makes her unhappy.
This is especially true of the sisters of the lord of the new capital. only listened to their aunts and aunts, and Princess Taiping was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
The group kissed and talked for a long time before Princess Taiping led them over. "By the way, I almost forgot to introduce you to this one. This one is the wife of Du Junqing, the Marquis of Changning. Changninghou, you should know, right? He now owns an excellent iron mine in Yongxing County, and he has also led his swordsmiths to study a new arrowhead, as well as a new Mo knife. Because of this, the mother queen praised them in public! β
Hearing this, the crown princess Wei nodded with a smile. "The name of Changninghou is so loud in Jingzhou Road, how can we not know it in Fangzhou? It's just that because of our identity, we only hear his name and don't see his person, which is also a big pity. β
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a weak snort from beside her: "We can't leave Fangzhou because of Daddy, but it doesn't mean that they outsiders can't come to pay homage to Daddy!" From the beginning to the end, they didn't even come at all, they only sent a greeting post and a meeting gift, and then it was over! I don't think they look down on us at all! β
"Wrap, don't talk nonsense!" When Webster heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her face and scolded.
This little lady who spoke was naturally the youngest daughter born to the crown princess Wei and the prince, the county lord of Anle.
Hearing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but look over there, and she found that this Anle County Lord was born really well!
Although she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, she has already escaped like a flower that is about to bloom, so beautiful that people can't forget it at a glance. It's just that she is only young, and there is already a touch of anger between her eyebrows, and she knows at a glance that she is a grumpy little lady.
And......
"Huh?"
Staring at her face and looking at the county lord, Gu Caiwei suddenly let out a low cry between her lips, and her eyes became more and more focused on the county lord of Anle's eyebrows and eyes.
She's discovered something amazing!
The county lord of Anle was angry at her. "Bold! Who has allowed you to look at the lord so rudely? β
Gu Caiwei reacted, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes. The county lord was angry. I've just never seen a beautiful little lady like you, and I'm fascinated by it for a while. β
But these words did not convince the county lord of Anle, but made her even more angry. "I'm good-looking, that's my business, you're just a Mrs. Hou, what qualifications do you have to stare at me? A country girl like you who doesn't understand the rules should gouge out her eyes! β
"Peace!" Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help but sink her face, "Mrs. Changning Hou is the guest I invited today, how can you let you speak ill of her?" β
Princess Taiping was furious, and the mother and daughter of the lord of Anle County were immediately excited, and the crown princess Wei quickly pulled her daughter to apologize: "Taiping, Anle is young and ignorant, and she grew up in Fangzhou since she was a child, and she has not seen much of the world, and I have always been negligent in disciplining her, which led to this." As an elder, don't be like her. β
As she spoke, she hurriedly pulled the county lord of Anle again. "Why don't you hurry up and confess your mistake to your aunt?"
The county lord of Anle lowered his head unwillingly. "Auntie, I was wrong."
The crown princess took the initiative to bow her head to her and admit her mistake, and Princess Taiping was angry when she saw this.
Originally, she didn't plan to make enemies with them, so she changed her face and returned to her gentle appearance: "An Le, you really blame Mrs. Changning Hou." To tell the truth, Mrs. Changning Hou is a world-famous miracle doctor in her ancestor, and now she has also got a bit of the true inheritance of her ancestors. You have suffered enough in Luling County before, and now it is easy to come back, I am planning to ask her to check the pulse of all of you, and prescribe some medicinal food to recuperate your body! β
She is then deliberately reconciling the relationship between Gu Caiwei and the county lord of Anle.
When Gu Caiwei heard this, she quickly nodded: "What the princess said is true." I don't have any other skills in my life, so I can cook well. If the crown princess and the county lord don't dislike it, please let me show you! β
"That's good, that's good!" Crown Princess Wei nodded with a smile, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Gu Caiwei.
In fact, she didn't believe that a little lady at such a young age Gu Caiwei could have any real skills. It's just that since Princess Taiping has praised her to this extent, she should be selling Princess Taiping a face. Anyway, she took the recipe back for the medicinal diet, and it was her own business whether she ate it or not.
But she never thought that after Gu Caiwei checked her pulse, she immediately said: "Crown Princess, you have been worried too much over the years, which has led to the stagnation of your five organs, so your body has decayed slightly faster than your peers, and your memory has also decreased slightly. Now you have to eat more sweets, think more about happiness, and open your mind. Also, Luling County is located in the south, where the humidity is heavy. You've been there for so many years, and your physique is unusually wet and cold. Now, do you often feel weak and can't get enough sleep? Moreover, even if you wake up, your mind is groggy and you can't concentrate on doing things? β
Every word she said hit Webster's chest directly, causing her heart to beat faster.
The little lady in front of her is all right!
In an instant, she looked at Gu Caiwei with a little admiration in her eyes, and even took the initiative to ask, "Then I don't know how I should recuperate?" β
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Crown Princess, you just have to eat a small handful of barley every day. Barley dispels dampness, but it itself has a certain coldness, you can fry it for a while before each use, and fry the cold in the barley, and then cook porridge or make soup, or grind it to make pastries. I'll write you a menu of sweets and barley, and you can take them back and let the kitchen do the same. β
"Hey, don't you need to take medicine?" Webster was stunned again.
At this moment, before Gu Caiwei could speak, Princess Taiping smiled. "Sister-in-law, you really have lost your memory, have you forgotten what I just told you? Mrs. Changning Hou is best at dietary therapy, using food to treat people's diseases, she is not like those white-bearded doctors in the hospital, she knows to prescribe those bitter decoctions to us all day long. β
Webster suddenly smiled. "I see! Then I'm relieved. Since this is the case, it will bother Mrs. Changninghou. β
In an instant, her attitude towards Gu Caiwei changed.
Gu Caiwei nodded with a smile, and then took the pulse of the county lord of the new capital.
"County Lord, you are still young and strong, but the body is still too wet and cold, and it is wet and hot, at the moment, you can't just eat barley, you have to avoid it, you can't eat too much beef and mutton every time, but you can eat more chicken and rabbit meat." However, the chicken and rabbit meat are ready and have their own flavor, and I will give you some recipes in a while, and you can take them back and let the kitchen make them. β
The county lord of the new capital hurriedly nodded happily.
Then there are the county lords of Yi'an, Xinning, and Yongshou......
Every time after taking the pulse, Gu Caiwei can accurately tell their physical condition, and it is exactly the same. Then they say something about what they eat, and how they cook itβeven some of them that they haven't heard of!
Everyone suddenly lost their disgust with taking medicine, and they looked forward to it. Therefore, their attitude towards Gu Caiwei has become more and more affectionate.
In the end, it was the turn of the youngest county lord, Anle.
Gu Caiwei Shi Ran stretched out his hand: "County Lord, please give me the handle." β
But the county lord of Anle immediately put his hands behind his back. "You don't need to see, there is a Tai Doctor in the East Palace, and we have already shown it to the Tai Yi after we came back, and the Tai Yi is much the same as what you said. In this way, you actually have this ability, so you don't need to look at it anymore! β
Gu Caiwei frowned, and Princess Taiping sank her face again. "Anle, what are you doing here? Your sisters have already shown Mrs. Changning Hou, and now you are the only one left, what if you show her? β
"I don't have to look at it, I'm so good!" The county lord of Anle insisted.
Seeing this, Wei's eyes suddenly flashed, and she quickly smiled and said, "An Le, this kid is like this, he has been spoiled by us since he was a child." Now since she doesn't want to show Mrs. Changninghou, don't look at it. Hengzhi is still young, and now there is nothing wrong with her body. If there is really any problem in the future, it will not be too late for us to invite Mrs. Changning Hou to come and see it at that time. β
She insisted that the county lord of Anle 'had nothing wrong with it'.
When Princess Taiping heard this, she couldn't help but stare deeply at Lord Anle for a while.
The county lord of Anle was so frightened that he hid behind Webster's back.
Seeing this, Gu Caiwei hurriedly spoke: "Since the county lord of Anle can't trust me, then I won't force it." But everyone is a woman, you have suffered too much in Fangzhou before, and you have been scared, you must not have recovered well. Now that you're back, remember to drink more chicken soup to replenish your body. There are also white fungus soup and yam puree, these are all good things to nourish yin and nourish, and it is no problem for us as women to eat more. β
Webster nodded repeatedly. "We've written down Mrs. Changninghou's words, and I'll let the kitchen prepare them when I get back."
Gu Caiwei bowed her head and didn't say anything more.
When Princess Taiping heard this, her eyes flashed, and she glanced meaningfully at Lord Anle, who was still hiding behind Wei's back, and turned her head. "Now that everyone is here, let's go to the back garden! I have already asked people to move the best chrysanthemums in Luoyang City, all kinds of shapes, all kinds of colors, storage can feast your eyes! β
"That's good! Anyway, we have been in Fangzhou for so many years, and we haven't enjoyed the flowers for a long time! Webster hurriedly laughed.
Among this group of people, Gu Caiwei's status is the lowest, and she naturally falls last.
However, she still heard Webster's words clearly, and she immediately frowned slightly-did the crown princess put her posture so low? Even in order to get the support of Princess Taiping, she has already surrendered her identity to meet the horse!
No matter how difficult King Luling's life is in Fangzhou, he is also the biological son of Her Majesty the Empress, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation will at least not be bad. Their family has always been frightened, but they are just afraid that the empress will suddenly remember one day, and directly send someone to give them to death, and let them follow the former prince Li Hong and others to go down to Huangquan together.
Just thinking like this, Gu Caiwei suddenly noticed that a person appeared beside her.
"Whatever you just see, don't mention it to anyone. If you dare to mention a word, I'll kill you!" The girl's immature voice said something that did not match her age.
Gu Caiwei looked back, and she nodded hurriedly. "Rest assured, county lord, I haven't seen anything. The doctor is very attentive to seeing a doctor, I haven't even felt your pulse, how do I know what your physical condition is? β
The county lord of Anle snorted lightly. "Count you as acquaintances!"
Then, he flicked his sleeves and quickly stepped forward to catch up with Princess Taiping, and called out sweetly: "Aunt! β
Gu Caiwei's shoulders shook immediately, and she quickly rubbed the large goosebumps that popped up on her arms.
Looking at the figure who was already jumping in the crowd, her eyes were slightly dark.
"She's not even fourteen years old now, so whoever did it to her...... It's all beasts! β
