Chapter 144: Harmony and Separation
Song Zhao has been paying attention to Gong Tianyao's movements, and he naturally knows about the good things she has done in business recently, seeing that she has been very busy recently because of the opening of the store, but she is not tired, on the contrary, she is like a fish in water among so many people, and it seems that she does not need him to help.
The eldest princess and Gong Tianyao have now become a pair of close friends, and the celebrities in the capital who used to be good friends with the eldest princess have also begun to show affection to Gong Tianyao intentionally or unintentionally, and Gong Tianyao is also not refused, these people are all business opportunities in her eyes, they are all silver taels, so she will not be stupid enough to push away the good things sent to the door.
With this convenience, the business of Gong Tianyao's newly opened branches is as hot as ever, He Yuan is now the head office shopkeeper, not only busy with the affairs of the head office, but also to go to the branch on time to inspect the situation and guide those new shopkeepers.
Gong Tianyao has really made a lot of money now, with a lot of silver in hand, and people are not arrogant or impatient, and they are not inconspicuous, the eldest princess is because she helped her take care of her body. I am very grateful to her and often invite her to the princess's mansion to meet.
On this day, Gong Tianyao came back from the princess's mansion, the time was not early, the princess sent her to the carriage before going back, Lianxin was a little impatient: "Princess, it's so late, wouldn't it be good for the prince to see it?" ”
Hearing Song Zhao's name, Gong Tianyao felt a little uncomfortable, but his face was full of indifference, and he said as if he didn't care: "What's wrong, besides, he won't go to us when he's idle, how can you know me if you don't say it." It's okay to know, and I didn't do anything wrong. ”
Lianxin was speechless, and the princess's words seemed to have some truth. I put my mind at ease and didn't worry about the sky. The carriage drove to the back gate of the palace as usual, in the past, they came back late, and they all entered from here, and tonight was the same, but they didn't expect to meet Song Zhao.
Lianxin's voice trembled, and she pointed to a figure not far away, and said tremblingly: "Princess, that person, it seems, is the prince......
Gong Tianyao didn't recognize it, her heart trembled, and she forced her face to calm down: "If there's anything to be afraid of, let's just go over." ”
"Isn't it as if you can't see the prince...... Lian's heart trembled twice, feeling that this method was a bit unreliable, so she stayed where she was and refused to take a step: "Princess, why don't you go over and take a look?" ”
Gong Tianyao gritted her teeth and persevered for a while, and finally made up her mind: "Just go!" ”
"Why is it drinking here alone?" Gong Tianyao asked him stiffly. Song Zhao had actually heard the voices of their master and servant a long time ago, and just ignored them, but now he heard her ask, and said lightly: "The moonlight is very good tonight, why not drink alone?" ”
Gong Tianyao raised her head and looked at the night sky, seeing the sky full of stars and the bright moon and breeze, which was indeed refreshing.
"The prince is really interested." She took it casually to hide her inner overwhelm.
"If the princess doesn't mind, please take a seat." Song Zhao's voice was lazy, and the hand holding the wine glass was slender and distinct, Gong Tianyao was stunned, but he still sat down opposite him.
Relatively speechless, Gong Tianyao felt a little uncomfortable, sitting like this without talking, she always felt a little weird, after a while, Gong Tianyao planned to find an excuse to slip away, but she never expected Song Zhao's words to be like nailing her to the chair and unable to move.
He said: "The princess has not thought about the matter of reconciliation? ”
Gong Tianyao was stunned for a while before asking, "Why?" ”
Song Zhao was silent, Gong Tianyao looked at him in a daze, and finally regained consciousness: "Do you think I caused you trouble before, and you think I hate it, so you want to leave?" ”
Song Zhao paused, and finally said aloud: "No." ”
"Why is that?" Gong Tianyao suddenly became angry, this person is really inexplicable, people can never guess what he is thinking, I thought that this time I returned to the palace to keep the clouds open and see the moon, but I didn't expect that Song Zhao's attitude would suddenly give her a 180-degree turn!
In the past, it was clear that he did not allow her to leave the palace, saying that the emperor gave marriage, and the destiny of heaven could not be violated, she believed his nonsense, and after staying, she encountered such a strange thing, how could she ever have a complaint? Because it was her own choice, she didn't blame others, but now because of his words, all this is gone?
There is a feeling of being teased, and there is an indescribable feeling blocked in her heart, the air around her seems to be squeezing towards her, she can't breathe, she can't bear it, she stands up with a bang, and her voice is uncontrollably raised: "Why?" ”
She had never spoken so loudly in front of Song Zhao, it was more or less because she was afraid before, after all, in the face of such an unfathomable man, who knew what would happen if she angered him, but now Gong Tianyao couldn't care about it, she just desperately wanted to get an answer.
Unlike the emotional Gong Tianyao, Song Zhao was as calm as ever, and his voice was cold: "Because of your appearance, it disrupted my plan." ”
In a short sentence, like the fuse that ignited Gong Tianyao's anger, she couldn't wait to lift the table in front of her: Is it only your plan that has been disrupted? Isn't my life a mess because of you!
She complained silently in her heart, but in the end, she only put down a sentence: "Harmony is harmony, I will sign, I will wait for your paperwork!" After speaking, he turned around and left, not dragging his feet at all, Song Zhao looked at her back as she left in a hurry, and a strange thought surged in his heart: This is what she looked like at the beginning.
Perhaps, a peace and separation is the best ending for the two of them.
Steward Zhao appeared from the shadows, stood beside Song Zhao without a look, Song Zhao drank the residual wine in the cup, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The matter of the reconciliation between this king and the princess, there is Steward Lao Zhao." ”
The expression on Steward Zhao's face was really indescribable, he wanted to persuade, but he knew that his words would not have any impact on the prince's decision, and after being entangled for a long time, he finally swallowed those words back, bowed his head and said respectfully: "The slave obeys." ”
When the document was handed over to Song Zhao, Steward Zhao couldn't see anything abnormal on his master's face, he could only sigh heavily in his heart, full of emotion, but there was nothing he could do.
Song Zhao put away the paperwork and retired from Steward Zhao, but he didn't go to see Gong Tianyao for a long time, the paperwork had been placed in his study, pressed under a thick stack of books, and he tried to make himself busier, so busy that he didn't have time to think about other things.
Lianxin was worried to death, the princess was so strange these days, since she came back from the prince that night, she had become strange, and she was talking about leaving the palace all day long, as before.
"Where's the deed to the house you bought last time?" Gong Tianyao flipped through the boxes irritably, turning over the sorted cages, and Lianxin was helpless and distressed: "It's all clothes and jewelry, and the house deed and title deed are all in this box." ”
