Chapter 31 Something to discuss
Ji Yuanxun is not a reckless man, and after hearing what Ji Qiang said just now, he must have sent someone to investigate, but unfortunately there were no clues on the man in black, and the matter was hastily concluded.
disposed of the corpse, and let the people in the house take care of their mouths, but people are terrible, but they can control it.
However, in just one day, rumors spread in the capital that the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion was hated and assassinated.
And the so-called being hated by others, everyone speculated, although Gu Hanyan couldn't succeed, he angrily sent a meal at his subordinates, but he also temporarily restrained himself and didn't dare to make any more moves.
The first thing Xi'er did when she returned to the courtyard was to pull Ji Qiang up and down, and only after finding that there were no injuries did she breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a sad face: "It's all the slave and maid, if the slave and maid had kept vigil last night, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened." ”
The tone was full of self-reproach.
There are few people in Ji Qiang's courtyard, plus she doesn't like to be lively, and she has subtracted a lot of people, so Xi'er complained a lot at the beginning, and now there are only six people in her courtyard with Xi'er.
And among these people, there are also Aunt Du's people.
"Shouldn't the eldest lady consider it's better to place more people in the courtyard?" The maid who was waiting on the side chattered, and Xi'er nodded in agreement.
Ji Qiang glanced at her more, and the corners of her mouth rose, "If I needed so many people, I wouldn't have left just a few of you in the first place." Besides, when is your turn to speak here? ”
The maidservant shook her body and knelt on the ground to call for her mistake, but Ji Qiang stopped looking at her and snorted coldly to let them retreat.
Turning to Xi'er, "Do you know why I asked you to take care of your mother last night?" Just to keep you from staying here, now ordinary people can't hurt your miss. ”
"Don't mention the matter of adding people, if there are more people in the courtyard, I'm afraid there will be more assassinations, I don't want to live with my heart all the time."
Xi'er listened to her words, and knew that Miss Now was different from what she thought before, and then remembered that Gu Hanyan came to the yard today, and said with some doubts: "Miss Gu hasn't gone out for the past few days, and Miss came to visit when she had an accident, and I don't know what kind of heart An has." ”
Gu Hanyan probably wanted to take revenge for dropping her rouge bag, and it was a small fight before, but now he wants to take her life, it seems that he is really in a hurry.
But this is just the beginning, Gu Hanyan is so breathless, I don't know if she can stand the big gift after that.
Ji Qiang sneered and lowered her eyes.
However, a few days, Ji Yuanxun suddenly became busy, and when he heard that a foreign envoy was visiting, Ji Qiang counted the days and found that at this time in his previous life, it was Luohui's foreign envoy who visited Dachen.
It also brought a problem, which the ministers of the DPRK and China could not solve, and it was because of this matter that fell on Ji Yuanxun that Xia Chengmu took action to solve the siege, and he won Ji Yuanxun's trust and her dead heart.
If she remembers correctly, the problem will be solved two days later.
In his previous life, Xia Chengmu succeeded, but now he will not let him get his wish!
After the sky was completely dark, I heard the housekeeper report that Ji Yuanxun had returned from the palace.
Ji Qiang went to the study with the prepared lotus seed porridge, but as soon as she arrived at the door, the guards stopped her, looking a little embarrassed, and said: "Miss, the six princes inside are talking about things with Grandpa Guo, no one can disturb them, please come back at another hour." ”
Who doesn't know that the eldest lady is the meat of Grandpa Guo's heart, so naturally she doesn't dare to slack off, and she is very polite when she speaks.
Ji Qiang chuckled, "If the Sixth Prince is not here, I won't be here yet." The smile on his face was a little shy.
The guards all knew that it was a matter of time before the eldest lady and the six princes met, but they were still a little hesitant.
"I haven't seen my dad for a few days, I feel sorry for my father's busy affairs, and I've boiled this lotus seed porridge for a long time, and if I don't drink it, it's going to be cold." Ji Qiang sighed, her expression was a little lonely, and the two guards looked at each other.
Ji Qiang made persistent efforts to speak: "Daddy has always loved me, I just went in to see Daddy drink some porridge, I will explain to Daddy, I will definitely not implicate the two guard brothers!" ”
Hearing her say this, the two of them finally relented, nodded, and got out of the way.
The corners of Ji Qiang's mouth arced upward, winked at Xi'er, took the food box in her hand, and walked towards the study.
"Grandpa Guo, this formation is believed by the Father Emperor and handed it over to you to solve, but this palace has some opinions in it, maybe it can help......"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open, Xia Chengmu's words were interrupted, and he couldn't help frowning and looking at the person who came, but the moment he saw Ji Qiang, he changed to a warm smile, "Qiang'er, why are you here?" ”
Ji Qiang naturally saw the boredom in his eyes, bowed slightly, and called the six princes in a proper manner, nothing else, and walked straight to Ji Yuanxun and called Daddy.
Sensing Ji Qiang's cold attitude, the smile on Xia Chengmu's face was a little unnatural, and a dark color rose in his eyes.
Ji Yuanxun had obvious displeasure on his face, and his eyes were even more blue and black, and he looked exhausted, "Presumptuous!" Don't you see that I'm discussing things with the Six Princes? Why did the guards let you in, I really don't understand the rules! ”
The words were full of reproach, Ji Qiang knew that he was not angry, pursed his lips, and said with some twist: "I haven't eaten with my father for a few days, my daughter knows that my father is tired, and I haven't bothered in the past, I specially prepared lotus seed porridge today, I want my father to taste it, if my father sees his daughter in the way, my daughter leaves." ”
Ji Yuanxun listened to her words, looked at her aggrieved, his face couldn't help but soften, sighed, and looked at Xia Chengmu apologetically, "The little girl doesn't understand the rules, so the six princes laughed." ”
Xia Chengmu smiled when he heard this, and looked at Ji Qiang's eyes full of tenderness, "It's okay, Qiang'er is preparing food for Grandpa Guo, and it is also a piece of filial piety, and seeing Qiang'er, she also wants to have something to say to Grandpa Guo." ”
As he spoke, he got up, patted the non-existent dust on his robe, and said in a relaxed tone: "The palace will leave first, and I will discuss everything in detail with Grandpa Guo tomorrow." ”
When Ji Yuanxun saw him get up, he didn't want to say anything, and he gave his hand to the next one, Xia Chengmu glanced at Ji Qiang, and there was always a doting smile on his face.
Ji Qiang always lowered his eyes respectfully and distantly, and when he saw that he was leaving, he just said that the sixth prince walked slowly, without the slightest sign of retention, and even the eyes that looked at him were not as affectionate as usual.
His heart sank suddenly, the smile on his face faded, his eyes were dark, he nodded, and strode away.
After the people left, Ji Yuanxun took a sip of the lotus seed porridge on the table, his face relaxed, and said in a calm tone: "You came in such a hurry, didn't you just send this bowl of hot lotus seed porridge to your father?" ”
The smile on Ji Qiang's face expanded a little, "Daddy, who knows his daughter, his daughter does have something to talk about." ”
