Let's say that that the princess of Pengcheng couldn't get high in the prince's mansion that night, and she was angry in her heart, and when she met the Li family of Youzhaoyi, she would pour out her resentment. The Li family was bent on showing favor to Yuan Yu, and he gave him advice to make him do whatever he wanted.

The right widow, Zheng Qiao's cousin, is the eldest daughter-in-law of Luozhou Mu Gao Yong, Tong, and after the Li family's instructions, Zheng Qiao told the Tong family about Princess Pengcheng's love for Gao Rong. Everyone in the world knows that Princess Pengcheng is the emperor's maternal sister and is deeply favored, and the Tong family was overjoyed when they heard the news.

Within half a day, everyone in Gaofu was already well known. Gao Yong and his wife were worried, and hurriedly recalled Gao Rong back to the house, and called their eldest son Gao Yi, their second son Gao Hui and Gao Rong's biological mother Liu to discuss with each other in the main hall.

Gao Yong looked around at everyone and said, "Shuda's affairs are already known... Relying on the ancestor Yinde, Fang Ling Shuda can win the favor of Princess Pengcheng, which is really the luck of your three lives. But instead of cherishing it, you turned away the princess for thousands of miles, and you are so stupid! ”

Before Gao Rong could speak, Gao Yi said: "Although Princess Pengcheng is a re-Jiao body, she is the most favored by His Majesty, Shuda, if you marry the princess, then not only will you be able to rise smoothly in the future, but my father and I will also have a smooth career..."

Gao Hui also answered: "Shuda, I heard that Princess Pengcheng has a captivating posture, if you marry the princess, not only will you become a dragon and phoenix among people, but you can also hold a beauty to return to the nest, why not?" ”

Gao Yong glanced at Gao Hui and said solemnly: "The princess is Your Majesty's dearest, Hugh is talking nonsense!" Turning his head to look at Gao Rong, Gao Yong continued: "Over the years, my mother and aunt have urged you to get married, but you have delayed it so far. Do you know that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, as a descendant of my Gao family, how can you not fulfill the responsibility of a son of man? ”

When Gao Rong heard this, he lowered his head and said: "Father, the son only wants to serve the king loyally and assist the prince, and he doesn't want to pay attention to any other matters." ”

Gao Yong snorted coldly and said, "Loyal to the king? Princess Pengcheng is the sister of His Majesty, and if you marry the princess, you will be a loyal king! ”

Seeing that Gao Yong's face was gloomy, Liu hurriedly persuaded him: "Shuda is young and ignorant, so don't worry about it..."

The Zhou family is quite harmonious with the Liu family on weekdays, and Gao Rong has always been filial, so he also helped at this time: "Lord, this man and woman also pay attention to karma. Although Princess Pengcheng is a golden branch and jade leaf, she can only be a long-term husband and wife when she is willing to be an uncle! ”

When Gao Yong heard the words of the two, he was displeased: "The kindness of a woman! The princess is now treating each other with courtesy but doesn't know it, if the princess entrusts this matter to His Majesty and provokes the anger of the Dragon Court, won't it be full of trouble? ”

When Liu Shi heard this, his face turned pale in an instant: "Lord, how is this good?" Shuda, which couple in this world is not the words of the matchmaker of the parents, you must not cause disasters because of your own selfishness! ”

Gao Rong saw Liu's appearance like this, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't want to act against his will. Looking at everyone, Gao Rong's heart sank and said, "Father, mother, aunt, son... The son already has someone he likes, and she will not marry in this life! ”

Gao Yong and his wife looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou said: "Shuda, why don't you know about your parents because you have a favorite person?" If you say it early, we can ask you about the name and the wife's room, why do you have today's worries! ”

Gao Rong was ashamed and said, "Mother, it's my son's fault... Only the one whom my son likes... She... She is married..."

Without waiting for Gao Rong to speak, Gao Yong was already furious: "Rebel! The princess's golden body is willing to marry you is already the grace of the ancients, but you actually refused the princess for the sake of other people's wives, which is really unfortunate for the family, unfortunate for the family! ”

glaring angrily, Gao Yong said sharply: "You say, whose slut took your soul?" You unfilial rebel, if you should marry the princess today, if not, I will tie you up and confuse you in the room, and you will not be allowed to go out half a step again! ”

Gao Rong was already stubborn, and the more Gao Yong was like this, the more counterproductive it was, and the father and son were at a stalemate for a while. Seeing this, the Zhou family persuaded him, but Gao Yong saw that Gao Rong had no intention of backing down, and became more and more annoyed, and he couldn't care about the bitter pleading of the Zhou family and the Liu family, so he ordered the house slave to tie Gao Rong up and confine him in his room.

Liu's forehead was heartbroken, but the husband was the master wife, not to mention that the Liu family was just a concubine, and he didn't dare to disobey the will of the lord.

In the prince's mansion, Zheng Qiao was walking slowly in the flower garden, when he heard that the servant had come to report that the Luo shepherd's daughter-in-law Tong came to visit. Although Tong is Zheng Qiao's cousin's aunt, she rarely goes to the prince's mansion.

Xuanhong welcomed the Tong family into the flower garden, and the aunt and nephew saw each other, so they went to the Huxin Pavilion and sat opposite each other.

Tong Shi looked around and said with a smile: "In her early years, the concubine entered the palace with her aunt to meet Concubine Zheng, and she was fortunate to see the palace inside. Today, when I entered the prince's mansion, I knew what a fairyland on earth was. ”

Zheng Qiao smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty respects the prince, and everything is treated kindly. ”

Looking at the Tong family, Zheng Qiao did not beat around the bush: "My aunt came here today, not just to enjoy the scenery and garden, right?" ”

Seeing that Tong was smiling and silent, Zheng Qiao understood in his heart, and retreated to the left and right, leaving only Xuanhong on the side of the attendant.

When the Tong family saw that the maids had retreated, they told Zheng Qiao that Gao Rong was unwilling to marry Princess Pengcheng because he had a favorite person, and that Gao Yong was confined in the room.

Hearing Tong's words, Zheng Qiao shook the feather fan lightly and said slowly: "I heard the prince mention two days ago, the Tao is that the middle concubine is sick and sick, and the prince of Luozhou Mu Chenshu allowed him to recuperate in the mansion... It was because of the refusal to marry... Does that aunt know who the middle concubine wants? ”

Tong Shi looked around, leaned closer to Zheng Qiao, and said in a low voice: "It's the woman of Zai Jiao, Zuo Zhaoyi, whom Your Majesty loves..."

Before Tong could speak, Zheng Qiao said quickly: "Aunt Hugh is talking nonsense!" After that, he sent Xuan Hong and said: "You go to the pavilion to guard, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

After Xuanhong should leave, Zheng Qiao looked at the Tong family and said, "Auntie, are you serious?" ”

Tong Shi said: "It's true! The second brother was confined to the room by the family and got drunk all day long. Because you have instructed me before, I should pay attention to the affairs of my second brother. Fortunately, now I am in charge of the house, and the caretaker will report everything to me. ”

"Yesterday afternoon, the guard came to report that the second brother was drunk again, but yesterday was different, and the second brother was crying secretly in the room... When I got the news, I quietly attached my ear to the window, and I could smell it, and I heard my second brother whispering 'He'..."

When Zheng Qiao heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, and she flicked her fingers for more than ten times, and then said: "Auntie, this matter is related to the life of the middle concubine, and it is really not trivial... You go home first, and don't let outsiders know about it. ”

Tong Shi was puzzled and doubted: "You also asked me to promote this matter that day, now is a good opportunity, you and I can blackmail the second brother to marry the princess, so that you can invite merit and favor in front of the princess, how can you not let me tell this matter?" ”

Although Zheng Qiao is now friendly with the Li family, he has a master-apprentice relationship with He in his heart. This involves the reputation of He, Zheng Qiao will not act recklessly. waved his hand, Zheng Qiao didn't explain much to Tong, and called Xuanhong to send off the guests.

Tong was bored and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he got up and left.

Back to the Gao Mansion, the more Tong thought about it, the more annoyed he became, hating Zheng Qiao for missing the opportunity. After thinking about it, Tong went back to his mother's house to find his father, Tong Wenzheng, the secretary of the Shaofu, and told him about the matter.

Shao Fuqing is in charge of the royal finances and has many dealings with the Li family on weekdays. Knowing this news, Tong Wenzheng also felt that this was an opportunity to show favor to Princess Pengcheng, so he entered the palace and told the Li family to know.

The Li family was afraid that He would seize the throne, and when he heard the news, he was overjoyed. Here, Tong Wenzheng left on the front foot, and the Li family then went to the Yuan Yu dormitory.
