178. Have a glass of wine and make friends
Xie Pingyu was not poisoned in the first place, and now that the antidote has been obtained, it is naturally impossible to continue to be in a coma, so the Xie family collectively went out to perform a big show, confirming the "fact" that he was successfully detoxified without dying.
After all, in these years, which official's mansion doesn't have a few spies?
Acting has to play a full set, Xie Pingyu, who has just detoxified his body and is still empty, it is impossible for him to enter the palace to thank him in person, his father has no fame, and he does not have this qualification, so Xie Chenfeng, who is the current head of the family and has an official position, has the responsibility to enter the palace to thank him.
In front of Gu Tingjun, Xie Chenfeng, whose acting skills are becoming more and more exquisite, is grateful for all kinds of words, that is, he doesn't want money, that posture, he can't wait to take a knife to dig out his heart and lungs, so that Gu Tingjun can clearly and directly know how grateful the Xie family is to the emperor's grace, how excited, and how loyal to the country.
Rao is Gu Tingjun, a moody emperor, was deeply shocked by Xie Chenfeng's words and deeds.
This matter is definitely not the Xie family shouting to catch the thief, but Sun Jizong can only blame Sun Jizong for not being rigorous enough, which is why he has a heart.
After Xu Tianci's investigation overnight, he was completely convinced that the poisoning was not done by Sun Jizong, and now Xie Chenfeng's actions have also eliminated the Xie family's suspicion, so this person hiding behind the scenes is particularly hateful.
But what is the purpose of this man doing these things? When did such a hidden figure appear in the imperial city?
Gu Tingjun felt that he had a headache.
As a very controlling emperor, he could not tolerate the appearance of an uncontrollable person under his nose.
Since he has broken his game, then he must be friend or foe, thinking about it, the most likely thing is only Gu Tingfeng.
The secret guard sent out will not come back so soon, and he doesn't know where his third brother is now, if he secretly returns to the capital, this matter will inevitably have nothing to do with him, but if he is still in the field, he can still calculate him across thousands of mountains and rivers, and the power in the hands of this third brother is inevitably a little amazing.
This was definitely something Gu Tingfeng didn't expect, although this matter was indeed his handiwork, but he didn't expect that his suspicious and sick imperial brother would finally put the pot on his head.
Gu Tingfeng, who was detained, was struggling with food in that hidden mansion at the moment.
Liu Jiaojiao's cooking skills are really good, but unfortunately now that she has the identity of Miss Xie, it is impossible to be the same as when she was in the town, as long as the money is satisfied, she can eat the dishes she made herself.
Although he is the prince, it is impossible to ask a noble girl to cook for him, right? Gu Tingfeng thinks that he is still a face, he can't do this kind of thing.
He also had plans to marry Liu Jiaojiao altogether, but the imperial brother made it clear that he was deliberately suppressing the Xie family, if he married the girl of the Xie family, what did he think in his heart, wouldn't it hurt her if he affected the little girl?
In addition, the age difference between the two is a little big, even if he knows that the true appearance of the little girl can be called a flower and a moon, but he has not yet come to attack a little girl who is not in time, and the desire of the mouth is indeed important, but the gentleman is frank and open, and he must not do some villain deeds in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, it is too disdainful, he can disdain it.
After feeding his stomach, he drank a large sip of hawthorn tea prepared by Liu Jiaojiao with satisfaction, and said to Liu Jiaojiao, who was sitting opposite: "Little owner, when will your Qingxin Fang open?" It's inconvenient for this king to always call you to cook, so you don't have to plan this king behind their backs. β
Liu Jiaojiao smiled and said: "It should be soon, and then I will wait for the prince to take care of the business." β
"That's natural, but can the Xie family really agree to let you personally cook in the store every day?" Gu Tingfeng was very curious about this.
Needless to say, Liu Jiaojiao's cooking skills are self-explanatory, he can be regarded as having eaten all over the country, and he has not met a better one so far, but now she is the eldest lady of the Xie family, and the Xie family, who pays attention to poetry and books and pays attention to etiquette, would she really be willing to let her show up and be a cook?
If someone else is in charge, others may be able to buy it, but he will never buy it if his tongue has been raised.
Liu Jiaojiao covered her lips and smiled, her eyes were shining, and she said: "If the prince doesn't say it, I won't say it, the family pretends not to know, who would have thought that the chef of Qingxinfang is Miss Xie?" β
Gu Tingfeng was immediately happy, and then sighed: "It seems that the rumors are true, the Xie family is a patriarch, Xie Linlang back then, and now you are born in the Xie family, it is your blessing." β
In this era when men are inferior to women, it is not that there are no families who love their daughters, but it is estimated that there are not a few people who can be spoiled to this extent, except for the Xie family.
Liu Jiaojiao nodded in agreement: "I'm also glad that I am the Xie family, they all treat me very well." As she spoke, she changed her words, "Lord Wang, are you familiar with King Wujun?" β
Gu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "You want to ask about your fiancΓ©, right?" Ask this king, you are asking the right person, the father of King Wujun is the younger brother of the first queen, so this king has to call him a cousin. This person is a rare military general, upright, but a little short-tempered. When he fell in love with your mother at first sight, it was a pity that he didn't have time to say anything, so he was ordered to go on the expedition, and when he came back, your mother had married your father, it is said that he was drunk for three days and three nights, and then he quickly got married, married the daughter of Zhongshu Ling, and then had a son. Not long after you were born, he asked the emperor for marriage, and the emperor did not agree at first, because he knew that he had no love for your mother, but he was also stubborn, and he knelt outside the imperial study for two hours in the winter, and his legs were almost useless, and the emperor had no choice but to agree. β
Saying that, he glanced at Liu Jiaojiao meaningfully, and continued: "King Wujun has a deep affection for your mother, and he can't ask for it, so he will definitely not treat you badly if he marries into his family, but Mrs. Junwang is hostile to your mother, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is destined to be bad." As for the son, because of the rumors when he was young, he has never appeared in front of people, and this king does not know what kind of character he is, if he is like his father, if he is like his mother...... Hehe, Xiao Dong, this marriage is recommended that you think about it carefully. β
"But the prince also said that this marriage was given by the emperor, even if the little girl doesn't want to marry, it is estimated that she is powerless." Liu Jiaojiao said half-truthfully.
The royal gift is not given, in fact, she didn't take it to heart at all, even if this son is Pan An's second life, she will not marry. Since she traveled to this era, she has never thought about marrying, if she really has to marry, then isn't the little brother fragrant? Why bother looking for the near and far?
The reason why she said this was just to see Gu Tingfeng's reaction, anyway, she would not admit this marriage contract, so she could only say sorry to the prince.
Gu Tingfeng sneered when he heard this: "Little owner, don't you want to think about fooling this king, how can a mere marriage contract be difficult for you?" Although this king does not know how many hole cards you have in your hand, this king can be sure that you are not a human being. This king doesn't know the trick of divination and fortune-telling, but when it comes to the ability to avoid evil and recognize people, this king is confident that few people can compare. Rest assured, this king will not be your enemy, and the little proprietor does not need to come to the king's words. β
Liu Jiaojiao didn't respond to his words directly, but winked at him a little playfully, and said with a smile: "It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, Lord Wang, do you think that's the reason?" β
"This king's friend is not so easy to be."
"That's such a coincidence, the little girl is also very demanding of her friends."
After the two looked at each other for a while, Gu Tingfeng suddenly laughed loudly, "Interesting, interesting, the little owner really has the appetite of this king, if you are a few years older, even if this king is open, he will find the imperial brother to ask you to be the concubine!" β
"If that's the case, you'll definitely regret it, my lord. I'm very small-minded, and my temper is not good, if I really enter the backyard of the palace, maybe one day you will become a eunuch. Liu Jiaojiao's tone seemed very casual, but no one who listened to her would feel that she was joking.
Gu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "Hahaha, this king is beginning to sympathize with your future husband, there is a Hedong lion in the family, it is painful!" β
"To be loved by a woman like me with all his heart and love, he should feel happy."
"Hahaha, the little proprietor is right, this king is starting to look forward to it, see who is so happy."
After the two chatted a few more words, the Xie family sent someone to pick up Liu Jiaojiao back, and she got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Gu Tingfeng handed over the jade pendant she had returned to herself, and said: "The little proprietor should keep this thing, there are many forces in the capital, in case you meet someone who is not long-eyed, and the king happens to be not in the capital, even if you take out this thing, it can be somewhat deterrent." β
Liu Jiaojiao understood that he was reluctantly admitting his friend, and he was not hypocritical, so he took it directly and put it away, nodded and said, "Then the little woman will thank the prince." β
She was about to turn around and leave after she finished speaking, but Gu Tingfeng called her out loud, "Little owner, you are not kind, since you have made friends, this king has given a token, shouldn't the little owner also give this king a token?" β
What? To make friends, you also want to exchange tokens with each other? She doesn't read much, don't lie to her.
Liu Jiaojiao waved her hand at him with her back a little perfunctorily, then suddenly turned her head to look at him, and smiled slyly, "Haven't I already given my token?" It's in your belly, if you want to see clearly, do you think you are going to vomit or go to the thatched house? β
Gu Tingfeng: "......"
