Chapter 67: Taking advantage of the second son
King Shengqing chose an elegant villa and only ordered people to serve tea and fruits.
The aroma of the fruit lingers with the lingering aroma of tea, adding a bit of freshness.
Qingning is talkative, and he keeps talking when he sits down.
There is neither the restrained appearance of everyone's ladies, nor the special noise, which is a kind of comfort that makes people very willing to be close to her.
The only uncomfortable person may be Gan Peilin.
The position she sat in was opposite Ao Jue, and on the side was Ao Jue, and she could feel the strong aura of the Ao family.
Fortunately, although Qingning chatted warmly with King Shengqing, she never snubbed her. It's a good distraction.
Until King Shengqing's people whispered that it was Princess Qingning's envoy who had been waiting outside the garden for a long time.
Qing Ning got up a little reluctantly: "Thanks to His Highness's hospitality today, I have the opportunity to chat with the sister of the Gan family so much." Why don't you be free another day, and I will be the host, and I will invite Your Highness and my sister and all the sons, okay? ”
Gan Peilin's heart was sweet, thinking that Qingning was really attracted by King Shengqing.
It's a pity that the Shi royal family has strict rules, and the princess can only be a wife, even if it is Mrs. Xuxian.
Now, I only hope that Princess Qingning can achieve this marriage.
Gan Peilin retracted his thoughts and heard King Shengqing's gentle voice.
"It is already an honor for the princess to come to the imperial city as a guest. As the host, how can you let the princess bother. When the king arranges it, he will personally send someone to pick up the princess. King Shengqing said mildly.
"It's fine." Qing Ning smiled sweetly: "Then I will wait for the good news of His Highness." ”
I asked the princess to go back. The envoy who came to pick up Qingning was waiting outside the other garden, but King Shengqing was still not at ease.
This aroused Ao Yu's suspicions.
"Ao Yu, send Princess Qingning back to the post house for this king." King Shengqing's eyes kept falling on Qing Ning's face, she was really a wisp of fragrance like no other.
"Sister Peilin, you must come with you next time." Princess Qingning smiled warmly: "It's really good to know you." I'll talk to you another day. ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin was nodding.
I heard Qingning say to Ao Xuan: "I am tired of the second son to send Peilin's sister back to the house for me." ”
"No need."
"Okay."
Gan Peilin and Ao Su spoke almost at the same time.
"Sister, let the second son send you back." Qing Ning said with some worry: "Those people today are the head snakes of South Street. I'll be worried if you go back like this. It's different when the second son is here. ”
"That's what the princess said." King Shengqing agreed: "Let's let Ao Su send the eldest lady back." ”
Gan Peilin saw that these two sang and harmonized, and he really couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly nod.
"Then it will bother the second son."
Ao Xuan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard her call herself like this. There is obviously a strange feeling of reluctance to approach.
Gan Peilin and Crispy Core got into the carriage together, and Ao Xuan drove herself, but she didn't have the opportunity to talk to her alone.
The carriage kept walking slowly, stepping on his heart every time, and it was very uncomfortable.
"Ao Gongzi, can you be faster?" Crispy Core was really worried about such a speed, and lifted the curtain and smiled apologetically: "The main thing is that if Miss goes back too late, it's not good." So I'm sorry for you. ”
"No trouble." Ao Jue raised his whip, and the horse began to run happily.
"The spices on Princess Qingning's body were made by you?" Ao Xuan suddenly asked.
Through the fluttering curtain of the carriage, Gan Peilin reluctantly let out a "hmm".
"It tasted familiar, but I had never seen it before." Ao Xuan only said half a sentence, and the second half of the sentence was: It's as if you appeared in front of me, and it was also this feeling that was both strange and familiar.
Gan Peilin was silent.
This made Ao Su slightly unhappy, always thinking that he had to find something to say if he had nothing to say. "Your Highness is going to Ganfu to propose marriage soon, do you know?"
"Hmm." Gan Peilin snorted perfunctorily.
"Then you ......," Ao Xuan wanted to ask her what she was going to do. After all, she is an older sister.
But in this case, it seems strange that he asked so rashly. For a moment, the words that came to my mouth were swallowed again.
Originally, he didn't want to deal with him, but suddenly he had an idea, and Gan Peilin had another idea. "Second son."
Ao Xuan's body trembled, and he quickly turned his head.
Sure enough, Gan Peilin opened the sedan curtain and looked at him with staring eyes.
"Something is wrong with the eldest lady?" Ao Xuan looked at her clear gaze, and his heart moved slightly.
"I heard that the royal family of the Shi family, the daughter of the concubine must not be a concubine for others, is it true?" Gan Peilin asked suspiciously.
"Yes." Ao Xuan replied affirmatively: "It's not just that you can't be a concubine, even if you are the wife of the continuation string." ”
"Then ......" Gan Peilin showed a regretful expression: "If His Royal Highness comes to Ganfu to propose marriage, the princess will ......"
Ao Xuan heard something from her short words.
For one, she had already seen that these two people might have a heart for each other. Second, she was unwilling to propose to King Shengqing to Ganfu.
"There are no absolutes." Ao Xuan's eyes warmed: "If it doesn't happen, there are variables." ”
Gan Peilin still agrees with this sentence.
"The second prince has also heard about the Shi family's royal family?" Gan Peilin asked with some curiosity: "My father doesn't allow the daughters of the Gan Mansion to talk about this, and I have never heard the people in the mansion talk about it." ”
"Shi Ye Country is not big, and it is mostly deserted. But despite the harsh natural conditions, their people were able to fight well and take a piece of the world with a sword and a gun. So far, it is difficult to compete. "Ao Su in a nutshell.
"If you can get married, it will also be a good thing for the country and the people." Gan Peilin followed his words and said.
Ao Xuan fell silent.
On the surface, this is definitely a good thing for the imperial court. It also seems to be beneficial to King Shengqing. Being able to marry the princesses of other countries is equivalent to accepting the assistance of other countries, and the strength of the emperor will also increase.
But Shi Ye Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, and it may not have the ambition to take away my country, once the other party makes the first move, the emperor will inevitably take King Shengqing.
"Am I wrong?" Gan Peilin knew the little ninety-nine in his stomach, but he deliberately pretended to be ignorant.
"That's right." Ao Su finally came to a conclusion. "You're right."
"It would be a good thing if it could be like that." Gan Peilin's smile was light and light.
Ao Su was not surprised, he knew that although she was a concubine, her current situation must not be as smooth as Gan Jilu's.
"It's almost there." Gan Peilin glanced at the shops in the market, and said with a smile: "The second son will be sent here." There are a few rouge shops over there, and I'd like to check them out. ”
"I'll go with you." Ao Xuan said without hesitation.
"No need......" Gan Peilin deliberately looked embarrassed. The second son still has an errand. ”
"It doesn't matter." Ao Su parked the carriage at a suitable location on the side of the road. helped Gan Peilin get off the carriage.
Gan Peilin deliberately smiled sweetly, that was because she knew that Jiang Yu's people must be staring nearby.
Jiang Yu had to entangle with her, wouldn't he just be able to use Ao Xuan to anger him. It's best to be so angry that he smokes and spills all his dissatisfaction towards Ao Xuan. That's where it gets interesting!
The news that Ao Xuan accompanied Gan Peilin to visit the rouge shop quickly reached Jiang Yu's ears.
At that time, Jiang Yu was waiting outside the door of the emperor's study to be summoned. As soon as he heard this, he was furious.
As soon as he turned to leave, the door of the study was pushed open by the inner warden.
"Governor, the emperor invites you in."
Jiang Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the boredom in his heart, and turned to head towards the study.
But I couldn't help cursing in my heart, can't this hateful woman live in peace for a day?
Picking up a satisfactory rouge gouache, Gan Peilin returned home happily. When she approached the door of the house, she deliberately added something to the rouge.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Crispy Core is curious.
"Nature has its uses." Gan Peilin didn't say it clearly, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"My sister is back." Mo Chuxue stood at the inner door with a pale face, waiting for her.
Seeing Mo Chuxue, Gan Peilin didn't feel strange at all. But her face is really bad, is it okay to poison herself!
"My sister's face is not good, shouldn't she go back and rest?" Gan Peilin deliberately mentioned the matter of Xinghualou: "I heard from someone that you accompanied your second sister to Xinghualou for a trip, and you were sent back by a carriage, did you suddenly fall ill?" Is it serious? ”
"It's all right." Mo Chuxue said a word, followed by a serious voice: "Sister, when the second sister came back, she went to her grandmother's Zen Heart Temple, and kept crying and complaining, saying that you led a girl to snatch His Royal Highness...... I really didn't understand, so I thought I'd ask my sister first. At this point, my grandmother and aunt are angry, so you better be careful. ”
"You treat me so well, how can I thank you?" Gan Peilin thought to himself, silently biting off a piece of meat from others, he was talking about people like Mo Chuxue. She has always been able to plan for herself in such a unique way, at the most favorable time.
"My sister treats me very well." Mo Chuxue hooked her lips slightly: "I just don't want my aunt and second sister to misunderstand you." ”
Gan Peilin gave the crispy core a few boxes of rouge in his hand: "The things sent by the second son of the Ao family, I am not rare." You just find a place and lose it. ”
The crispy core took it neatly and nodded with a smile.
"Where did you just go?" Gan Peilin turned his head to look at Mo Chuxue: "Look at my memory, I forgot it in a blink of an eye." ”
"I said my sister was very good to me." Mo Chuxue's eyes kept staring at the boxes of rouge. That was what Ao Su sent her? In other words, not only did she see King Shengqing, but also asked Ao Su to accompany her to visit the rouge shop? So does she belong to King Shengqing or Ao Xuan?
"Sister, I'm going to say hello to my grandmother, will you come with me?" Gan Peilin saw that her soul was about to fly to see Ao Xuan, but she asked with a deliberate smile.
"Sister, I'm sorry." Mo Chuxue shook her head slightly: "You also know my identity, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go." ”
"Hmm." Gan Peilin didn't plan to embarrass her: "Then I'll go over first, and then I'll talk to my sister when I'm free." ”
"Okay." Mo Chuxue saluted her, her eyes fixed on the brittle hand.
Gan Peilin walked a little farther before saying to Crispy Core: "Wait a minute, find a small flower bed in a stone, throw it there, you can walk away, and then hide and wait to see a good show." I went to deal with my grandmother. ”
Crispy Core nodded, but did not forget to advise: "Miss must be careful." Don't suffer a loss. ”
"Don't worry." Gan Peilin's eyes showed pride: "I have suffered from people." ”
