Lu Yao did what he said, and immediately asked people to reduce Chu Huaiyu's food and clothing.

Chu Huaiyu didn't react at first, thinking that something was wrong, thinking that Lu Yao could solve it, so he didn't care. But who knows, it was still like this for a few days later, and the degree of food and clothing was a grade lower than before.

Chu Huaiyu was crazy and ran to question Lu Yao: "Lu Yao, why are you doing this?"

Lu Yao put down the book he was reading in his hand and said leisurely: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to get rid of the problem of luxury, so I'll help you." ”

Chu Huaiyu was about to collapse, and said angrily: "I don't need to change, and I don't need your help."

Lu Yao sighed twice and said, "If you don't change it, you can't do it, you are so swaggering, and it will affect me and Gu Congyuan if it reaches the ears of Your Majesty or those imperial historians." ”

"What's going on with you, how can it affect you," Chu Huaiyu looked at Lu Yao suspiciously.

Lu Yao said: "Oh, I don't eat the fireworks in the world, do you really not understand or fake I Lu Yao is the boss of Tongfu Firm, everyone knows that I am very rich, and they have already aroused the jealousy of the imperial court." ”

"But what does that matter to me, I don't spend your money." Chu Huaiyu still didn't understand.

Lu Yao had to explain patiently, and said: "We are all from the Cong Palace, my money is Gu Congyuan's money, nominally it seems that Gu Congyuan's money is also your princess's money, do you say it matters?"

She looked at Chu Huaiyu's expression that seemed to understand whether she understood or not, sighed, and then said: "Anyway, if you are too extravagant, you will make others think that you are spending the money of my Tongfu business, and you will be even more jealous of me, and being afraid of me is jealous of Gu Congyuan, and others will think that Gu Congyuan has agreed to you being so public, and they will think that Gu Congyuan is not right-minded." ”

Chu Huaiyu was dumbfounded, she didn't expect her to spend more money and still be able to get involved in this, but after thinking about it, she asked again: "Really you didn't want me to spend less, you deliberately said that"

Lu Yao rolled his eyes and said, "As for me, the Cong Wangfu can still afford to support you." ”

"Since we can afford it, why should we reduce our own money, why do others say it" Chu Huaiyu retorted, "Gu Congyuan is a prince, which prince is not extravagant, that is, my father is a minister who is very extravagant, and His Majesty and Yushi still didn't say anything." ”

Lu Yao was impatient, she understood that although Chu Huaiyu was called a talented woman, her talent was in poetry and songs, and she didn't understand anything about government politics.

Gu Congyuan is the prince, but he is different from other princes, he is the son of His Majesty the Emperor today, and there is a prince brother on top of him. This struggle for imperial power has been extremely cruel since ancient times, and Gu Congyuan himself is extremely capable, so it is strange that he is not afraid of it.

Not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor thought that Gu Cong was far from his own son, and was always thinking about finding an opportunity to kill him, and his concubine didn't seem to be able to hold things up.

Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan were both jealous of the imperial court, and Chu Huaiyu was able to marry into the palace of King Cong, also because the emperor wanted to separate Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao, afraid that one of these two people had wealth and the other had power, and together they would make a big mess.

It's a pity that Chu Huaiyu doesn't understand these truths, Lu Yao is not sure if there are the emperor's spies and eyeliners watching in the Cong Palace, and he doesn't dare to say it too thoroughly to Chu Huaiyu.

But Chu Huaiyu was not happy, and said: "You make it clear to me, if I don't make it clear, I won't give up."

"Whatever you want," Lu Yao said impatiently, "Anyway, no matter what your attitude is, I have decided to reduce your food and clothing, even if you cry, make trouble, and hang yourself." ”

"You" Chu Huaiyu glared at Lu Yao angrily, and after looking at it for a while, he asked, "Are you serious?"

Lu Yao nodded: "Of course, I've always disliked jokes. ”

Chu Huaiyu was silent for a moment, understanding that it was Lu Yao who was in charge of the Cong Palace, and once Lu Yao decided, she would have nothing

It's a shame.

But she was really unwilling, and finally asked again tentatively: "Can't I be cautious, just luxury in the palace, and definitely simple and frugal when I go out." ”

"Heh" Lu Yao hooked his lips and chuckled, laughing at her innocence.

Chu Huaiyu was incredulous: "This doesn't work"

Lu Yao said: "How do you know if the wall has ears and how do you know if there are such a pair of eyes staring at you in the dark?"

Chu Huaiyu was stunned by what she said, and looked around involuntarily, but only saw his maid Tanchun and Lu Yao's maid Hongluan, standing together and talking in a whisper.

"You have made up your mind" Turning around, Chu Huaiyu asked Lu Yao.

Lu Yao nodded.

Chu Huaiyu couldn't help her, and after being silent for a while, he glared at Lu Yao fiercely, and then walked away with Tanchun.

Lu Yao looked at Chu Huaiyu's back as he left angrily, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

"Miss, if you do this, will Princess Chu hold a grudge against you?" Hongluan asked worriedly.

Lu Yao pursed his lips and said, "Let her be, if you want to hold a grudge, you can hold a grudge, our situation is like this, and I can't help it." ”

Hongluan sighed and said, "Also, since Princess Chu is married, she is a member of our palace, and she has to think about the palace." ”

"Oh, if only she had your kind of awareness." Lu Yao smiled and said, "She is a spoiled child, when she will be taught a lesson, when will she grow up." ”

"That's not it, it definitely can't be compared to you" Hongluan smiled and patted Lu Yao's ass.

"Just your poor mouth" Lu Yao slapped her jokingly and went into the house to accompany Gu Yuanbao to study.

In the next few days, Lu Yao thought that Chu Huaiyu was really dead, because since she came to Lu Yao last time to make trouble, but found that it was useless, she didn't say anything more.

Lu Yao said that it was for Chu Huaiyu to reduce the use, but in fact, it was still brocade clothes and jade food, but it was not as luxurious as she used to be. And those extravagances are unnecessary wastes in Lu Yao's view.

What kind of life Chu Huaiyu lived, what kind of life Lu Yao lived, Lu Yao didn't treat her very harshly, and he didn't think there was anything bad about this kind of day.

But Chu Huaiyu obviously doesn't think so, she is used to extravagance and extravagance, and ordinary days seem a little poor to her.

In the first few days, Chu Huaiyu could still bear it, but as time passed, slowly, her patience finally reached a limit, and it broke out all of a sudden.

She knew that she had no choice but to go to Gu Congyuan and let Gu Congyuan talk about Lu Yao.

Although Chu Huaiyu was afraid of Gu Congyuan, he still mustered up the courage to go for his own good life.

Gu Congyuan didn't want to see Chu Huaiyu at all, he was handling official business in the study, and after hearing the attendant's report that Chu Huaiyu was coming, he said without raising his head: "No." ”

"Yes."

The attendant respectfully stepped back, came to the door of the study, and said to Chu Huaiyu apologetically: "Princess Niangniang, the prince is busy and has no time to see you." ”

"No matter how busy you are, you won't be able to spare time to say a few words," Chu Huaiyu doubted.

The squire was embarrassed and didn't know what to say: "This"

Chu Huaiyu said: "You go in and tell the prince, I really have something important to tell the prince."

"The princess still don't embarrass the slave, the prince has always been decisive, if you don't see it, you won't see it, how dare the slave bother again" The attendant shrunk his neck and refused to report to Chu Huaiyu again.

"You"

Chu Huaiyu was furious, and when he was about to get angry, he heard a voice behind him: "Princess Niangniang"

Chu Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, and saw that the person who came turned out to be a fragrance that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"It's you, you also came to find the prince" I couldn't tell what he thought, Chu Huaiyu reflexively showed a smile that he thought was the most gentle and good-looking.

"Yes." Xiangxiang nodded and asked, "The princess is also here to find the prince."

Speaking of this, Chu Huaiyu was angry, and quickly told Xiangxiang about the matter, wanting Xiangxiang to help her talk to Gu Congyuan.

After Gu Congyuan heard this, he looked embarrassed: "The princess doesn't know, our prince has always said the same, I'm afraid I really don't want to see you." ”

Chu Huaiyu made a bitter face and asked, "Then what should I do, I really have something to look for him?"

Not to seduce him.

She silently added this sentence in her heart.

After finishing speaking, he thought of something, and hurriedly said: "What I want to say is also related to Lu Yao, can I meet the prince in this way?"

Saka looked at her scrutinically.

Chu Huaiyu hurriedly said: "It's really related, it's not my nonsense." ”

Falling incense knew how much Gu Congyuan cared about Lu Yao, so she promised Chu Huaiyu to go in and report it for her again.

Chu Huaiyu hurriedly thanked him and waited in place obediently.

Without waiting for a while, the incense came out and let Chu Huaiyu go in and put the book inside.

Chu Huaiyu complained in his heart, and went in, and when he entered, he saw Gu Cong standing next to the bookcase in front of the window, bowing his head and writing something on rice paper.

From Chu Huaiyu's angle, you can just see his handsome side face and tightly pursed lips, which are so good-looking that they can't be described in words.

Gu Congyuan felt her gaze, frowned, and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, oh" Chu Huaiyu came back to his senses, quickly retracted his gaze, and told Lu Yao about reducing her usefulness.

She said with emotion, highlighting how miserable her life was, wanting Gu Congyuan to realize how excessive Lu Yao was, and help her live her previous life again.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Congyuan heard what she said, he chuckled lightly and said, "Yao'er did a good job." ”

"Ah" Chu Huaiyu was stunned.

Gu Cong glanced at her from afar, and spit out a sentence lightly: "You should go and learn from Yao'er how to be diligent and thrifty and run a family." ”

Chu Huaiyu looked shocked, and said in his heart: "Aren't you teasing me for being diligent and thrifty in the palace's lack of money."

Chu Huaiyu wanted to say more, but when he saw Gu Congyuan lowering his head and writing again, it was clear that he didn't want to listen anymore.

Chu Huaiyu was annoyed, but at the same time, she also understood that Gu Congyuan felt that she really needed to be diligent and thrifty, and it was clear that she unconditionally supported everything Lu Yao did.

Chu Huaiyu was angry for a while, and he forgot that he was afraid of Gu Congyuan, so he didn't salute and leave, and directly glanced at Gu Congyuan and left, without even bothering to take another look at the incense.

Xiangxiang looked at Gu Congyuan, who was there with the old god, and then looked at the back of Chu Huaiyu leaving, and tried to hold back a smile on the side.

Gu Congyuan glanced at him casually.

Descending incense immediately held back and restrained all her expressions.

Gu Congyuan stopped writing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to Xiangxiang: "Go and ask Yao'er to come over." ”

"Yes." The incense was answered, and he went out.

After a while, Lu Yao came, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked Gu Congyuan with a smile: "I heard that Chu Huaiyu came to you to complain, and you were angry and left."

Gu Congyuan raised his eyebrows and looked innocent: "I didn't do anything." ”

Lu Yao looked at the incense.

Xiangxiang said: "Yes, the prince didn't do anything, just said a few words." ”

"Oh, what words," Lu Yao was curious.

She just wanted to speak, but when she saw Gu Congyuan glancing at him lightly, she immediately stopped.
