Chapter 7: That's the kind of person I am
The guards were stunned by her, and Jianing was so angry that he snatched the long knife and was about to slash it.
Gu Lanting was able to stand in the way, stopped Jianing and said, "Princess, don't be impulsive." β
Seeing that he wanted to protect Li Chenghuan intentionally or unintentionally, Jianing was full of jealousy in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Lanting! You just let her orchestrate right and wrong and damage your reputation! What Wanhualou and what to spend the night, I think she just wants to frame you! If you protect her again, the matter will reach my father, and I won't be able to save you......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Chenghuan poked his head out from behind Xinyangjun and shouted, "What's wrong with the emperor?" Xinyang Jun was worried about the king, put down his identity and went to Wanhualou to investigate the case, so he stayed in Qinglou all night without sleep, compared to those vain people I don't know where it is! When the case is solved, I will explain to the commander Shi that half of the credit will be given to him! β
As soon as Jianing heard the words of Qinglou, he became even more angry, and he was about to pounce with a wave of his hand, and Li Chenghuan jumped out of the threshold like oil on the soles of his feet. Gu Lanting clasped his hands into fists, blocked the door and said: "Today is the apprenticeship banquet of His Royal Highness King Yong, please princess for the sake of King Yong's face, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow." β
The princess was so angry that her face turned purple: "Xinyang-jun! This woman is pouring dirty water on you in front of so many people, and you are still protecting her? β
Yongwang Yang Shu carefully persuaded: "Jianing, when will we go back to the palace to talk about it, Miss Li also said, she is just investigating the case with Xinyangjun, why do you bother ......"
"Shut up!" Jianing was furious, "What else can you do but be a wall grass!" If you have a little bit of your own position, it will not be what it is now! β
"......" The crowd lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything. This Yang Shu's personality has always been like this, so that his status in the palace is very embarrassing, but the princess embarrassed him in public, which is too hurtful.
Who knew that Yang Shu was not only not angry, but smiled with both hands: "My sister is right, it's all because the third brother is not good, and my sister is angry, the little rabbit of that kind of ceramics last time, my brother will send you twelve, okay?" β
"Hmph, who is rare!" Jianing watched Li Chenghuan run away, full of resentment, and secretly thought: "Li Chenghuan, don't let me meet you again next time!" β
After Li Chenghuan finished stirring up the situation and dealt with the two major events without much effort, he was quite proud in his heart, he didn't even walk the path, and walked out of the vestibule with his hands behind his back.
For most of the day, the sun is about to set. If the senior brother knew that she had solved Xinyangjun's matter in this way, he would definitely have to tell her a lot of big truths. In the Gu family, because of the princess's trouble, she didn't finish a single chicken leg, and ran out after eating half full.
No matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor. That's it, Li Chenghuan touched the money bag, and planned to go to Sister-in-law Zhang's noodle restaurant on East Street to eat a bowl of beef noodles, and by the way, bring two more appetizers and go back to honor the master and brother.
Just thinking happily, his two arms suddenly stalked in front of his chest.
Before she could see clearly, the two men had already grabbed her arms.
"Please come with us." The two of them wore narrow-sleeved robes, and at first glance they looked like well-trained practitioners.
Li Chenghuan came back to his senses, and a cold sweat broke out. She sneered and said: "There is a debtor and a debtor, the little one I just came out to make soy sauce, two heroes, did you recognize the wrong person?" β
"I'm not mistaken." The two clasped their fists, "Miss Li, our son-in-law wants to talk to you privately." β
"Your son?"
"Yes. Xinyangjun said that there are some things to clarify with the girl. As he spoke, he made a gesture of please, "Girl, please." β
Li Chenghuan looked up at the sky.
What about the humble gentleman who said he was good? How can you be tough! Li Chenghuan wanted to cry without tears, with her light skills, it was not that she couldn't run away, but if these two people went to the embroidery department, with the master's person, if they knew that she was talking nonsense in the Gu Mansion, they would definitely come to the door to apologize in person.
Carry what you do by yourself, Li Chenghuan shook his head and quickly followed upstairs.
In the private room on the second floor, Gu Lanting was sitting in white clothes, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and sniffing the fragrance of tea on the tip of his nose. Hearing the sound of a kick and a kick stepping upstairs, he put down the teacup and smiled, "Please be seated." β
The voice is warm and clear, not hurried.
Li Chenghuan took off his robe and sat down on the chair opposite, took the tea in front of him and drank it all, and said with a big grin: "If you want me to come, you can tell me directly." β
It's a refreshing temperament. Gu Lanting slowly refilled her with tea, raised her eyes to see the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and gently pushed two slender fingers on the tabletop, handing over a handkerchief.
"I want to make a deal with the girl." Gu Lanting said gently. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were smiling, and the starlight was flowing in their eyes, staring at her quietly.
This person's demeanor and speech are clearly dignified and almost rigid, but these eyes have a natural sultry style. Especially when staring at people like this, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of tenderness. Li Chenghuan was uncomfortable with him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Say it." β
"I think the girl is bold and uninhibited." Gu Lanting bowed slightly, "That's the case, there will be a juju competition in the palace after tomorrow." There is a lack of a female companion below, if it is convenient for the girl, why not participate together? β
Li Chenghuan was frightened: "What are you talking about??" β
He invited her into the palace? Let's participate in the Keju competition?! Make no mistake, right?
She made up so many things out of nothing at the apprenticeship banquet, he didn't hold grudges, and he still wanted her to participate in the Keju competition in the palace as a female companion?? He wouldn't have taken a fancy to her ability to disrupt the situation and wanted to use her to create some kind of farce, right?
No, no, no, what kind of place is the palace! She is a small female general flag, where dare to go to that kind of place to be presumptuous! Give her eighty heads and don't dare to go!
A fierce spirit, Li Chenghuan waved his hand again and again to refuse: "No, no, no, you think too highly of me, my Keju level is very bad!" If you take me, don't say you can't win, I may not even be able to tell the difference between the two camps in the game! β
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you win or lose." Gu Lanting smiled, "You only need to do one thingβpretend to be my old acquaintance." When it's over, I'll give you thirty taels of silver as a reward. β
It turned out that she was asked to enter the palace to act? What a joke! This is not a crime of deception!
Li Chenghuan is high-spirited: "Master often teaches me that the most important thing in being a man is to be honest and trustworthy!" β
"Fifty taels."
Li Chenghuan was unmoved: "Please be smart, I really can't deceive people!" β
"One hundred taels."
Li Chenghuan is righteous and stern: "Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness is not a gentleman's doing!" β
"Three hundred taels."
Li Chenghuan smiled coldly: "Am I the kind of person who violates his principles because of a little money?" β
He flicked his sleeves and stood up, "If it doesn't work, forget it-"
"I am!" Li Chenghuan slapped the table, "That's right, I'm this kind of person!" β
"......" Gu Lanting turned around, and Li Chenghuan laughed better than Huajiao: "You say, how do you want me to act!" β
