Chapter 176 The Five Princes of Great Courage
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Die'er stand up, tidy up her clothes, and smile at the bronze mirror.
"Auntie?"
"Xiaocui, go and prepare something to eat, the master will come to our yard today." Die'er took a deep breath, came to the desk, picked up the pen and quickly wrote a line, "Give this letter to Madame by hand." ”
Xiao Cui put her things away, nodded, and turned to leave.
At this time, Gu Xiangyan was in the yard, looking at the clothes scattered on the bed and chair all over the house, and frowned: "It's all worn." ”
Seeing this, the pineapple on the side whispered: "Miss, these clothes have only been worn once, and others will not be able to see them with different jewelry when the time comes." ”
"Smack!" With a bang, Gu Xiangyan slapped the table, and anger appeared on his face, "How can you not see it?" It's not an ordinary lady who goes to the princess's banquet! ”
"They have seen a lot since they were children, and they know a lot, I have only worn these clothes once, but the materials are not as good as them, how can I not be angry!"
"No, I've been ridiculed by them for this before, and I must not have a second time!"
Pineapple frowned, very helpless.
"Let's go, go to my aunt's." Gu Xiangyan got up and walked towards Fengning Courtyard, but saw Die'er waiting for Gu Wu on the path.
"Yo, Second Miss, are you going to Aunt Yu?" Die'er had a bright smile on her face, "I heard that the second lady received another post from the crown princess, it's really enviable!" ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiangyan's face improved a little, and she said lightly: "It's my honor to be appreciated by the crown princess." ”
"Naturally, the second lady is capable." Die'er's words fell on Gu Xiangyan's ears to flatter.
Thinking of this, a trace of contempt crossed Gu Xiangyan's eyes, she enjoyed the envious and jealous eyes of others, and the flattering words of others.
"It's just that since the second lady is participating in the banquet held by the crown princess, this dress can't be bad, otherwise it will not only lose the face of the second lady, but also make the princess lose her face."
"Those young ladies are poisonous, the eyes of the noble lady are poisonous, the jewelry and clothes for the banquet can't be the same, and the quality must be the best, otherwise it's too embarrassing."
Saying that, Die'er smiled: "Second Miss must also understand in her heart, but Aunt Yu should be ready for Second Miss, after all, Aunt Yu is not in charge now." ”
"If it is the lady in charge, these must be prepared by the lady, I heard that the jewelry that the lady married over is very exquisite, but it is a pity that I have not seen this blessing."
As she spoke, Die'er shook her head with a helpless expression.
Gu Xiangyan frowned slightly, and said lightly: "My aunt will naturally arrange it for me, as for this family, it is my aunt who is the master of the family, if my mother wants to be in charge of the family, why don't I go to my father to take charge of the family?" ”
"Hahaha!" Butterfly laughed, "How can you! I'm afraid our lady doesn't have this mind, and I'm afraid that today's lady just wants to capture the master's heart. ”
As he spoke, a look of jealousy appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Gu Xiangyan said a few words casually, and then turned around and left.
After Gu Xiangyan left, the butterfly returned to her nature, and a faint light flashed in her eyes.
"Miss, what does this Aunt Li mean?" Pineapple frowned and asked suspiciously.
Gu Xiangyan's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, and she said disapprerovantly: "It's just that I'm jealous of me, and no matter how bad it is, it's just because my mother is favored by my father and sow discord." ”
Hearing this, Pineapple nodded.
"However, Aunt Li is right, this banquet has to be the best in terms of clothes and jewelry, and I can't let those people look down on me."
"I heard that this banquet not only invited the daughters of various families, but also the sons of various families."
Gu Xiangyan's words made pineapple's eyes light up: "Miss, you have to dress up beautifully, if you are taken by the prince of Houmen, Miss will not have to worry in the future." ”
Gu Xiangyan shook her head and did not refute Pineapple's words.
She really has to dress up beautifully, so as to attract the eyes of those sons.
Although her ultimate goal is to become the crown princess, if those sons like her and take advantage of this like, they can do a lot of things.
For example, Chen Ziqian......
Thinking of Chen Ziqian, Gu Xiangyan asked, "By the way, what's the matter with Brother Ziqian?" Why haven't you seen him these days? ”
"The young master and the eldest lady have dissolved the marriage contract, except for talking about the affairs of the court with the master in the study every day, they have never been out of the courtyard." Pineapple whispered, "Miss, shouldn't the young master be sad?" ”
Gu Xiangyan's eyes moved slightly, and she responded lightly.
It's just that I was extremely uncomfortable in my heart, and when I saw Fengning Courtyard not far away, I suppressed the dissatisfaction in my heart, thinking that I would go to Chen Ziqian tomorrow.
She can be around many men, but the men around her can only like her!
At this time, Chen Ziqian's face in the courtyard was very bad.
One is because of the pain in my body, although it is not as piercing as before.
Second, because he was about to go to Dayunzhou to take office, he chatted with the prince in the teahouse for a long time, and the prince did not have an accurate answer, but just asked him to go back and wait.
It's just that not long after returning home, news came from the Prince's Mansion and asked him to go to Dayun Continent to break out of the world.
Obviously, this is a test given by the prince.
If he breaks out, then he is qualified to stand by the prince's side and become the prince's staff, if not, he will be abandoned!
Gu Wu returned to the Gu Mansion and walked directly towards the Butterfly Creek Courtyard, and saw Butterfly on the path.
A trace of uncertainty quickly flashed in Die'er's eyes, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she trotted to Gu Wu's side: "Master! ”
"Die'er, I have something to tell you, let's go back first."
Looking at Gu Wu's solemn face, Die'er nodded obediently and let Gu Wu pull her towards the courtyard.
When he arrived at Diexi Courtyard, Gu Wu waved away his subordinates and looked at Die'er: "The fifth prince is looking for you?" ”
"Master, I wrote to the five princes a few days ago to tell him about his loyalty to the five princes, and the lord also read the letter at that time."
Die'er looked at Gu Wu suspiciously: "Master, what's wrong?" But what happened to the Five Princes? ”
Gu Wu nodded, his face became more and more gloomy: "Well, today the emperor sent Ziqian to Dayun Continent to take office, obviously it is a promotion, but it is actually a secret derogation, I wanted to ask the five princes to help me maneuver, but I didn't expect the five princes to refuse directly." ”
"I also said that paper can't hold the fire, I thought, did the five princes know something?"
As he spoke, he looked at Die'er.
Die'er's face immediately showed a look of panic: "Master, I didn't tell the fifth prince anything!" I'm on my side! ”
Gu Wu held Die'er's hand and said slowly: "I naturally trust you, I just don't understand what the five princes think, if the five princes know, then I can only abandon the five princes and join the prince's side, but if the five princes just guess......"
Gu Wu paused and spoke again: "That means I still have a chance." ”
Hearing this, Die'er immediately understood: "Don't worry, master, I'll write to help you tempt." ”
"Okay, let's go."
Gu Wu nodded, Die'er quickly stood up, came to the desk, and began to write a letter to the five princes, and when he was done, he showed it to Gu Wu, and Gu Wu expressed his satisfaction and sent it out.
After finishing dinner with Die'er, she left, and Die'er wrote another letter for Xiaocui to send out.
In the mansion of the five princes, looking at the two letters that arrived before and after, Mu Chenlian sneered: "Sure enough, as Die'er said, this Gu Wu is a wall grass!" ”
The people below lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word more.
After a long time, Mu Chenlian said, "Send these two letters over." ”
"Yes."
Waiting for the man in black to leave, the person behind the screen walked out, who was it not Yang Shuxuan?
It's just that Yang Shuxuan is now working in Cloud City, but he didn't expect to appear in the capital.
"Why did the Fifth Prince directly abandon Lord Gu? If you let Master Gu know that you are just suspicious, you will definitely be able to use Lord Gu to do a lot of things. Yang Shuxuan's tone was light, he looked at Mu Chenlian, and asked slowly.
Mu Chenlian picked up the tea on the side and took a sip: "Shuxuan, what you said is right, but I know Gu Wu's personality better than you, and I am extra vigilant, instead of dealing with him, it is better to directly cut off his connection with me." ”
"Let him completely stand on the prince's side, help the prince do things, and become the prince's henchman, so that I can grasp more information about the prince."
"After all, we still have butterflies."
At the mention of Die'er, Yang Shuxuan frowned slightly: "Can the prince guarantee that Die'er did not defect?" ”
"She won't." Mu Chenlian said disapprerovingly, "I understand Die'er's thoughts, but she just wants to become a master." ”
"I gave her a promise in black and white, she will naturally stand on my side, the woman ......" Mu Chenlian smiled, "The woman's eyes are really short-sighted." ”
Yang Shuxuan looked at Mu Chenlian, who was very confident, didn't say much, and nodded: "I have been checking the people behind the scenes, such as restaurants and teahouses that the fifth prince asked me to check, but they are just ordinary businessmen, and there is no backstage. ”
"Oh?" Mu Chenlian raised his head, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Since this is the case, then you can take these for your own use, if these merchants resist ......"
A trace of killing intent flashed in Mu Chen's eyes: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
Yang Shuxuan's heart sank slightly, and he lowered his head: "Yes." ”
Late at night, the warm sunset garden is brightly lit.
Carambola hurriedly walked in.
"Come back, sit down." Gu Nuannuan was eating noodles with her three maids, with a satisfied smile on her face, and beckoned star fruit together.
Carambola sat down directly without pretentiousness: "The village chief has sent it back, this is the news I just received from Yuncheng, Miss, someone is checking our shop." ”
"It's natural to investigate, and many people have been investigating in recent years, but they can't find anything." Gu Nuannuan said with a smile.
Star fruit nodded: "It's just that this wave is a bit tricky, and the wind has seized the past, and it was found that it was the people from the Five Princes' side, and they wanted to occupy our shop." ”
"Yo, that's amazing!" Gu Nuannuan swallowed the last noodle and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Mu Chen is not even bold, he actually moved on my head!" ”
