Chapter 20: Somewhat disappointed
Seeing that he couldn't tell her, Yuqiao immediately pointed the finger at Steward Hu on the side, "Steward Hu, did you hear what she said just now?" What kind of striptease did you say, I didn't say anything if I insulted me, but also insulted the prince, is the prince such a low-level person? Now that you are here, you are the best, to be able to prove that she is not worthy of being this princess at all, how can a princess speak so uncultivated? I really suspect that she wasn't from the county king's mansion at all, and I don't know where the county king picked up the shrew......"
"Yuqiao girl, who is worthy of being the princess of Princess Chen, the princess said that it doesn't count, and the Yuqiao girl doesn't count, as long as the prince approves, we must approve, otherwise we don't understand the rules, regardless of dignity and inferiority, when it comes to the matter of self-cultivation, the Yuqiao girl questioned the princess's background is a bit excessive, the princess is the princess who married into the palace with eight sedan chairs, everyone knows, isn't saying this equivalent to slapping the prince and the county prince's mansion in the face?" Steward Hu had completely changed his attitude at this time, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
To tell the truth, this Yuqiao has always relied on the favor of the prince to be domineering, and he didn't take him as a housekeeper at all, he was already dissatisfied in his heart, and now he saw that Yuqiao wanted to use him as a gun, and the resentment in his heart couldn't be held back.
Although he is a slave, but because he is the housekeeper of Chenwangfu, anyone who goes out will respectfully call him Hu Steward, or Hu Lao, that is, those court officials who want to have a good relationship with Chenwangfu, will try their best to stammer him, Yuqiao is just a lowly singer, why should he point fingers at him, and show his teeth and claws in front of him?
What made him even more annoyed was that this Yuqiao was not satisfied with the favor of the prince, and he had to provoke the princess and cause so many things, but in the end he was subjected to the seedlings and became the grinding heart of the stone mill, if it weren't for the princess's magnanimity and understanding, he would have offended even the future housewife.
Therefore, now he will never make the same mistake as before, and resolutely stands on Gu Yue's side.
"Okay, so you were bullying me with him? Steward Hu, I can see you clearly today, but don't be complacent, as long as the prince comes back, you will definitely feel better. Yuqiao stomped her feet, and she was repeatedly frustrated and humiliated today, she thought it was all because He Lianyu was not around.
Since she can't please her, she can only withdraw her troops, she has already decided, and when the prince comes back, she will let all those who offend her have no good end......
Steward Hu looked at Yuqiao's back and said slowly: "I am the housekeeper of the palace, it is my duty to help the princess, if the Yuqiao girl wants to go to the prince to tell the truth, I have nothing to say." ”
Yuqiao snorted coldly and walked down the hillside without looking back.
Listening to Steward Hu's words, Gu Yue secretly praised in his heart: Although this person is a little pedantic, he is still very principled, no wonder Zi Yu thinks that Steward Hu will definitely agree with him as a princess.
What kind of goods is Yuqiao, Hu Steward can see it clearly, why is Helian Yu blind? Since Helian Yu has been able to reuse Steward Hu so far, his eyesight must be good, how could he connive at a singer to behave indiscriminately in the palace? Can't men be confused by beauty? That jade bridge is a bit beautiful, but it is not beautiful enough to make a man like Helian Yu lose his mind......
According to the knowledge learned in the palace fighting drama, a supporting role like Yuqiao who appears with beauty often has the support of another force behind her, is it because she is a person sent by Xiangguo, so Helian Yu must spoil him?
After thinking of this, Gu Yue felt that the water in this palace was too deep, and it would be better to stand aside in the future, as long as this jade bridge did not come to provoke her in the future, she would still be a nominal princess in the palace quietly.
"Steward Hu, do you know where there is a night pearl in the house?" She immediately thought of the beads, as long as she found the bead that allowed her to return, she could leave with those precious jewels in abundance, and the mess and people in the palace had nothing to do with her.
"When the new house was first arranged, there were a lot of night pearls in the princess's room, did the princess think those beads were not bright enough? I'll order a few more to go in. Steward Hu said immediately.
The Night Pearl may be a very rare object in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are many in the palace, some of which are rewards from the palace, and the other part is the gifts brought to Helian Yu by the envoys of various countries.
Gu Yue immediately shook his head, "I don't want that kind of bead, I heard people say before this palace that there is a night pearl in Chenwangfu that is almost the size of an egg, so I want to find it to play with it......"
That's all she can do is ask from the side.
Steward Hu smiled slightly, "Princess, these are all rumors in the market, don't say that there are no night pearls about the size of eggs, I am afraid there are none in the palace, those night pearls in your room are already the largest in the palace, and they are all selected from the treasury of the palace." ”
"Really?" Gu Yue was stunned, since Steward Hu said no, it must be gone, I can't find that bead, don't I want to stay here for the rest of my life to be a nominal princess?
Gu Yue's heart was cold all of a sudden, and disappointment instantly spread in his body, that bead was the only way she could think of going back, if there was no such bead in this world, she seemed to have no hope of living.
"How dare the little one lie to the princess? However, if the princess really wants to find a big bead to play with, she can ask the prince to look for it in the palace, the queen mother likes the night pearl very much, and the queen mother should have the most beads there, in addition to the night pearl, the black pearl of the South China Sea, and the pink pearl of the North Sea have ......" Steward Hu did not dare to hide it at all.
"Does the Queen Mother have so many beads there?" The flame of hope instantly burned again in her body.
"A lot of pearls in the palace are rewarded by the Queen Mother, however, it should be impossible for the mother to see the egg-sized night pearl from the Queen Mother, if there is really such a big night pearl in the world, it must be a rare treasure, and the Queen Mother may not have it."
"I'm just asking, I don't have to see such a big night pearl." Gu Yue smiled slightly and said lightly.
That night pearl is her last hope, she will not give up, since there is no palace in the palace, then you can only expect the queen mother to have it, however, the palace is not at all people can enter and exit at will, if you want to enter, the current thing to do is to do a good job of this princess Chen.
"Why don't you go to the treasury to find out what kind of beads are there, and send them to the glass garden for the princess to enjoy?"
Whether it is the night pearl she wants to find or not, the beads in this palace must be worth a lot of money when they are taken outside, or brought back to before, since someone wants to give it, why should she refuse? Naturally, the more treasures and the like, the better, "It's okay, then there's the Steward Laohu." ”
I can't go back for the time being, so it's good to use this time to collect more valuable things. Maybe she was a tomb robber, as long as it was a valuable antiquity, it could give her a great sense of security.
After Steward Hu left, Xiao Qi and the others collected enough chrysanthemums and went back.
By the time they returned, the glazed garden had been restored to its original state, the trees had been transplanted, and the flower garden had also been transplanted, but it was no longer the original thousand sun red, but the moon season, hibiscus flowers, and hibiscus and chrysanthemums, which were purple and red, and even more beautiful than before.
It had just rained, and the soil was wet, and although these flowers and trees were transplanted, they were easy to survive.
Steward Hu has already asked people to send the beads over, these beads are placed one by one in the silver tray at the bottom of the red velvet cushion, one by one shining, so gorgeous, Gu Yue only then knew that the original beads can have so many types and colors, if they are really brought back, there is no need to live the life of a tomb robber in the future......
The visitor also said that if she wanted to make these beads into jewelry, she would just say it, and she would immediately ask someone to design it.
From this point of view, Helian Yu is still very generous to her, the nominal princess, this is the only advantage she has found Helian Yu at present, that is, the woman he doesn't love, he is not mean, perhaps, he married her back just to find a princess to give face to Chenwangfu, the name of the first beauty in the imperial city will not insult Chenwangfu, since it is face-filling, he will naturally not be stingy in terms of food and clothing.
No matter how capable Steward Hu is in the palace, it is impossible for him to have the right to dispose of all the things in the treasury, let alone something as precious as beads, it seems that before she married into the palace, Steward Hu had already received some explicit instructions from Helian Yu, which can be seen from the layout of the new house.
Now, she has enough jewelry here, even if it is not the same every day, I am afraid that she can wear it for two or three months, although these jewelry are gorgeous, but they are also in the way, and it is almost a burden for her who has always liked to dress up in denim, so there is no pursuit of jewelry at all, and she went back directly.
At noon, the sun shines warmly in the courtyard of the glass garden, the blue sky is like washing, the white clouds float gently like cotton, and sometimes the figure of a bird passes in the sky, although it looks like a black dot, but it can also make people feel the feeling of freedom.
The world used to be good, but it was difficult to see such unpolluted skies. Gu Yue asked Xiao Qi to move a toise chair and put it in the courtyard, she lay on the chaise longue to look at the sky, bask in the sun, eat fruits, and live a leisurely and comfortable life, she has not lived such a comfortable life for a long time.
Xiao Qi saw that she was in a good mood, and she also laughed, these days, she could hardly see the sorrow in the eyes of the young lady, it seemed that Ma Gongzi had slowly faded from her heart......
Xiao Qi helped Ziyu and them put the chrysanthemums they collected on the big stones in the courtyard to dry, it turned out that unconsciously, they picked a lot of chrysanthemums, which was more than enough to make sachets.
In the evening, the sun gradually sank to the west, however, the sky at this time seemed to be more beautiful, the gorgeous sunset almost covered half of the sky, red, even the floating white clouds were dyed red, some also showed the gold edge, that is the sunset afterglow drilled out of the clouds, looking from a distance, the entire Chenwang Mansion is like the Haishi Chenlou that appeared in Gu Yue's mind, so unreal......
A few days ago, she was still playing the idea of the ancient tomb in the scenic area, but she didn't expect that a few days later, it would become the Chenwang Mansion that I don't know what dynasty and what dynasty it is.
Xiao Qi and the others have already begun to collect those dried chrysanthemums, but they didn't expect that there were so many baskets.
Obviously, there are not so many sachets to make, Gu Yue ordered them to put away the remaining chrysanthemums, and go to the main hall tomorrow to pick some back to dry.
