Chapter 353:-for-tat
Wu Zi picked up the wine glass and leaned back, Chen Jingting was inexplicable, and always felt that Xuanyuan Zhe was in an abnormal mood this time. Gu Youan knew it, he took a dish of sauced beef and handed it to Du Lan, "The lady should make up for her body after a tiring journey." ”
However, before Duran opened his mouth, Xuanyuan Zhe blocked the exit unhappily: "Beef belongs to hair, and eating it will cause illness to worsen, I believe An Shizi should understand this, right?" ”
Gu Youan smiled, put the sauced beef back into his bowl, scooped up another bowl of fish soup, and handed it to Du Lan's side: "I remember that when I was sick and weak in the past, my lady cooked fish soup for me to replenish my body, and this time I shouldn't be wrong." ”
"Hmm." Duran sneered and took the bowl and drank the soup, in fact, she was already greedy, but these two men had been fighting each other, so she couldn't eat properly.
Not to be outdone, Xuanyuan Zhe picked up topics related to Duran to chat.
"I heard that Concubine An Shi and Ying Ying have a very good relationship, this time in Shengjing, your sisters can finally be reunited, and the door of my Qingwang Mansion will be open for Princess An Shi at any time."
"Yingying, she's fine, isn't she?" Du Lan raised his head suddenly, originally wanted to ask Bai Yingying how she was doing in the palace, but suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to ask such a question, and changed the way she asked when she said it.
"Yingying, she ......" Xuanyuan Zhe slurred, and there seemed to be something unspeakable.
This whetted Duran's appetite, and when she saw this, she hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Yingying?" What are you going to say? ”
Xuanyuan Zhe picked up the wine glass and wrinkled his eyebrows painfully: "Alas, it's not a secret, on the day we got married, there were assassins in the house, and Yingying blocked a sword for me in order to save me......"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped abruptly.
Listening to Xuanyuan Zhe's words, Du Lan's heart shrunk, and his reproachful eyes secretly aimed at Gu Youan, Gu Youan shook his head lightly, and signaled with his eyes that it was not him.
The small movements between the husband and wife fell into Xuanyuan Zhe's eyes one by one, and then he spoke at the right time: "Fortunately, this sword did not penetrate the vital point." ”
"And what is she like now?" Duran's eyes were full of worry.
"She is in the stage of recuperation, but Princess An Shi doesn't have to worry, I have asked the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose her, and I believe that she will be cured after a while."
Although it was a comforting word, Xuanyuan Zhe deliberately said twists and turns, as if the scene was extremely dangerous at that time, and Bai Yingying was also seriously injured.
Hearing this, Du Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and said that when she settled down, she would find time to visit Bai Yingying, Xuanyuan Zhe first expressed his gratitude for Bai Yingying, and after a few bites, he threatened to say goodbye.
Back in the guest room, Duran looked at Gu Youan and asked puzzledly: "Xianggong, who do you think will assassinate him on the night of his marriage?" ”
Gu Youan shook his head and chuckled: "It seems that his enemy is not only me." ”
"Well, what is the purpose of Xuanyuan Zhe's visit this time?" Duran always felt that Xuanyuan Zhe was not as simple as it seemed.
"Hehe, I have to ask the lady about this. Who made my lady always be remembered? ”
"Laugh at me again, people are uninvited, what does it have to do with me. Besides, you have seen my attitude towards him, and you will not be allowed to do so in the future. ”
"Which one?" Gu Youan laughed and teased her.
"What else? Even the rice is not delicious. ”
"If the lady is not full, how about I order someone to bring some snacks?" Gu You'an looked at him left and right.
"Knowing that what I'm talking about isn't this, you can't show off me in front of him like an object in the future."
"Show off? Hehe, the lady misunderstood, I didn't show off anything in front of him, nor did I preach any sovereignty, I just let him see clearly, he was impossible, and I would never back down half a step. Do you understand now? Gu Youan stepped forward, hugged him gently, and continued: "This is a contest between men. ”
"Contest? Isn't the contest between you power? When did you get involved with me? I'm not an object, I can be with whoever I want to be with, it's not up to you and him to influence, I have the right to choose independently. ”
"We are each other's only, and I will not allow anyone to snatch you!" Gu Youan's face was serious and his attitude was resolute.
Although Gu Youan was arrogant at this time, he was full of manly charm.
Duran's face softened a little, "Okay, I'll think it's sweet words." When our matter in Shengjing is over, let's go back to Luo'an City to live. ”
"Okay, everything is up to the lady."
"That's pretty much it." Duran smiled with satisfaction, she stretched a big waist, and said, "After a few days in the carriage, I feel that my bones are falling apart, and it is really time to take a good rest." ”
"Yes, my husband also thinks it's time to take a good rest." Gu Youan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face was excited.
Duran smiled and shook his head, "I have to enter the Jingmian Saint tomorrow, take a good rest today, don't think about it." ”
"That's right, I'm talking about having a good rest with my lady." Gu You'an looked innocent, he didn't think he had said anything wrong.
Du Lan stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his waist, rested his head lightly on his chest, and said softly: "I know what Xianggong thinks in his heart, but we just arrived at Shuo Wang's Mansion, and it was that in broad daylight, is it not a good impact." ”
Gu Youan's chin rested on her head, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and a faint fragrance came to his nose.
"What the lady said is very true, then you have a good rest, and the husband will deal with the matter at hand first."
"Hmm."
"Come on, so that you can wait for the princess to rest."
At the sound of an order, several maids outside the door responded one after another.
After speaking, he was still not at ease, and told Du Lan: "If you need anything, just mention it to the housekeeper, and these maids are all serving your daily life, you can send them directly if you have something." ”
Served? Duran is really not used to it, she used to only think about living a prosperous life by her own efforts, but she has always done everything herself, and she really didn't think about asking for a maid to serve.
"Xianggong, I can do it by myself, how can I use a maid to serve." Duran politely refused.
"This is the palace, not our Shanwa Village, and you are the princess and the master here."
The master of the palace? Duran couldn't help but be dumbfounded, looking at the old mother and the four maidservants standing outside the door, and then realized that she was no longer a peasant woman, and her husband was not an ordinary mountain village farmer.
"Serve the princess of the good world, if there is any errand, you will be asked." Gu Youan did not forget to advise.
"The slaves obey." The old mother and a few maids responded respectfully.
Gu Youan reluctantly turned around and left, as soon as he walked on the front foot, the people in the house changed their faces, you must know that this is the Shuo Palace, and Gu Youan is just the prince who has just been recognized by the prince, the prince has not come back, he is a fallen prince after all, he is a newcomer, the maid and the old mother in the house have always regarded themselves as high, and they did not accept Gu You'an as the prince in their hearts.
didn't treat Duran as a heroine.
The people outside the door couldn't help but whisper to Du Lan, "The princess of the world, I didn't see her dressed, rustic, she is really from the countryside." ”
"That's it, our prince is not in the mansion, and it's really strange that there are two more masters for no reason."
Duran listened uncomfortably, and called out to the door unhappily: "Someone! ”
Since she doesn't take her as a master and looks down on her, she will exercise her right to be a master.
There was no movement outside the door, completely deaf to her words.
"What are you poking for? Didn't you listen to the words of the prince? ”
The maid at the head chuckled: "Yes." ”
The old lady outside the door, four maids rushed in, standing side by side at the door, and their standing posture looked quite respectful.
Duran was satisfied.
However, Duran knows that the newcomers will always be looked down upon by the old people, and the same is true for the masters, especially in Shengjing, where fish and dragons are mixed, and they must have bright brains, not blindly suppressing people with power, but also convincing people with virtue.
At present, she has been in contact with the people for a short time, and she still doesn't know which person is sincere and which person takes advantage of it, so she took out a piece of silver and stepped forward and handed it to the old mother who was the leader: "There will be Mama Lao in the future." ”
Seeing Yinzi, the old mother's eyes narrowed into a slit, and she hurriedly politely said: "Thank you princess, if you have any orders, just say it." ”
Duran really wanted to summon them, and when he heard them laughing at the rustic style of what they were wearing, he didn't know what trendy service was in fashion in Shengjing right now.
So he said to his mother: "I didn't bring a few clothes with me when I went back to the house this time, so I might as well bother my mother to pick out a few clothes for me." ”
"That's as it should be." After the old mother finished speaking, she instructed the maid beside her: "Go and choose a few beautiful clothes for the princess." ”
"Yes."
Soon, several maids held trays separately, which were presented in front of Du Lan's eyes in a colorful manner, and the old mother made a gesture of invitation: "Princess, please choose." ”
Duran glanced at it roughly, and asked the maids to unfold the clothes for her to see, and after opening it, she saw it more clearly, she looked at them one by one, purple embroidered skirts, lotus tie-dye tufts, pink, light green, these colors are either old-fashioned, or frivolous and charming, or pink, like a little girl who has not a family, not dignified enough.
Duran hooked the corners of her lips, what an old mother who made people stumble behind her back, even if she gave the silver, she was not good, she was respectful to herself on the face, but in fact, she had already colluded with the maid, and none of the clothes she prepared for herself could wait for the table.
