Chapter 221: Gongs and Drums

Pingyang Hou Mansion, in the luxurious and low-key hall, the atmosphere is a little dull.

Above the first place, Pingyang Houfu sat with a gloomy face, and a sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of crutches on the ground, interrupted Pingyang Hou's contemplation, he hurriedly stood up, and the old lady had already walked in with the support of Mrs. Zhong.

"What do you think?" The old lady asked straight to the point.

Pingyang Hou waited for the old lady to sit down, and then stood down and said slowly: "We underestimate her..."

At a young age, not outstanding appearance, humble family background, in this situation, anyone will ignore her, and more importantly, according to the description of the county lord of Baiyu, in several short encounters, she was low-key and humble, without the slightest arrogance of suddenly jumping on the branches, but I didn't expect that she would suddenly get into trouble, and gave them a resounding slap as soon as she made a move.

"Sure enough, it's a treacherous ....." Mrs. Zhong couldn't help muttering, "This time I was careless...."

A hint of coldness flashed in the old lady's eyes.

"This kind of person, if Yanyan bows her head in front of her this time, then she will never want to suppress her in this life, and she will always be lowered in momentum, even if she will be the queen in the future......" Mrs. Zhong said softly, "This girl must have understood this, so she ....."

"What do you think?" The old lady asked Pingyang Hou again.

"It's absolutely impossible to get Yanyan to apologize to her." Pingyang Hou said lightly, his face did not have the anger and excitement that was revealed a few days ago, but was very calm.

"Of course." The old lady nodded, "There is no doubt about that...."

"I want to now..."Pingyang Hou's eyes flashed slightly, and his voice was a little chilly, "Where did she get so much confidence...."

There was a slight silence in the room, and the old lady's face was a little solemn.

"You mean," she whispered, "someone is behind her back instructing her to do this...?" ”

Pingyang Hou nodded lightly, "Otherwise, I really can't think of where she got the courage to fight to the end....."

"Grandmother..."Footsteps sounded outside the door, accompanied by the crying voice of the white jade county lord, she rushed in from outside the door, saw her father there, resisted the urge to throw herself into the old lady's arms, and gave a proper salute, "Father..."

She was wearing a formal suit, her eyes were red, her face was slightly damp, I don't know if it was because she was excited or walking too fast, and there was a faint sweat on her forehead and nose.

"Who let you out?" Pingyang Houfu said with a heavy face, "Isn't it too troublesome?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

The county lord of Baiyu was reprimanded by this, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she hid her face and shouted a word, but because she was choked, she couldn't hear clearly.

“？” Pingyang Hou asked angrily.

"You shouted, our Yanyan has obviously fallen into someone's trap this time....Yanyan is a straight person...."The old lady glared at her son, and beckoned to Bai Yu with a little pity, "Come to grandmother..."

The county lord of Baiyu cried and threw himself over, snuggled into her arms and cried.

"What's wrong?" The old lady stroked her head and asked, while reassuring, "Don't worry, don't pay attention to that cheap girl, no matter how high the grasshopper jumps, it's only a autumn....."

"Grandmother, that,... To be named Liangdi" The county lord of Baiyu raised his head and shouted through gritted teeth.

The three people in the room were stunned.

"You say?" The old lady asked.

"I... I'm just going to want to go out..."The White Jade County Lord sobbed and said, ".. I'm going to see the Queen and the Queen Mother... I haven't seen it yet... I met Mrs. Wu...."

Mrs. Wu is one of the right-hand men around the Queen Mother, and she has the best relationship with their family.

"She said?" The old lady couldn't help but ask in a tight voice.

"She said that the Queen Mother wants to make that cheap maid a good girl..."The county lord of Baiyu bit his lip and said word by word.

“？” This news surprised the three people in the house, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard it.

Liangdi, that's not an ordinary concubine.......

The expressions of the three of them changed, and their hearts were in turmoil, at this time, when there was such an accident, they even had to give that woman such a reward.....

"I'll go into the palace.." The old lady stood up.

"Then there is Mother Lao.." Pingyang Hou nodded and said, "Son also went to see the prince...."

After a while, there was only the white jade county lord left in the room, she was slightly stunned, and she couldn't help but shiver when she looked at the empty hall.

Things seem to have gotten a little different.....

"Although it doesn't matter to me whether you live or die..."Gu Yu looked at Gu Bainiang, who had just come out of the gunpowder pharmacy, and muttered for a moment, and said, "However, for the sake of our acquaintance, I still have a word of advice for you..."

"Thank you, brother..."Gu Bainiang said with a smile as she put down her rolled up sleeves.

"Your brother is out there." Gu Yu stretched out his finger and waved his hand at her, "If you think that with that person's protection, you won't be afraid of anything, but you're wrong..."

The person he said naturally meant the crown prince, Gu Bainiang understood, smiled and said nothing.

"..... Pingyang Hou Mansion, it's a hornet's nest, a slight touch can scare them, but if you really plan to stab..."Gu Yu continued, "Then the result is..."

The hornets poured out of the nest, dealing with the enemy with a threatening meaning, it is absolutely not merciful, once the real character is moved, or you will die, it is not a problem for you to be ruined, at this time, even if the prince has the heart to protect it, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky.

Gu Bainiang raised her head, looked at him and smiled, and handed him a wrapped box.

"Here's some of the pills you wanted," she said.

Gu Yu took it, threw it in his hand, looked at her, and his eyes were slightly condensed: "You won't... Don't want to enter the palace, do you? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Gu Bainiang smiled, and did not answer his words directly, but said slowly: "I know, those people are not something I can provoke...... But there are some things in this world that I have to do... Whether it's a hornet's nest, or a sea of fire, ....."

"It's stupid, it's like your brother.." Gu Yu snorted and laughed, "In this world, protecting yourself is always more important than destroying the enemy....Don't let go of a good future, you have to feed the tiger with your body......."

"I just want to protect myself, that's why I'm going to poke this hornet's nest.." Gu Bainiang smiled slightly and stood up, "Since this hornet's nest can't be bypassed, I'd rather take the initiative to meet them than to retreat and retreat..."

Gu Yu sneered and laughed, did not speak again, looking at the girl's delicate face flashing a trace of fierceness, he suddenly felt in his heart that it was not certain who was the hornet's nest.

When night fell, the mother and son sat together again in the hall of the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

"I see..... Pingyang Hou said slowly, although his face was still calm, but his hand tightly clutched the teacup to reveal the unrest in his heart, "There is a ..... with the prince."

"Then, don't talk about Liangdi, even the East Palace will never want to enter in her life." The old lady shook her head and said lightly, "The prince can love these women in the palace, he can reward talents, and he can be a courtier.....You must not remember ..... grate."

The king's affection is thin, and he is favored for a while, the iron-clad court, and the flowing beauty, for the high-ranking concubines, they can not care, but only true love is a threat, especially when the prince starts from a small time, the love of youth will not fade with time, but will become stronger and stronger.

The belief that this potential danger must be destroyed before it is formed, or else it will be regretted in the future, is a belief that they have been taught again and again since childhood.

"Originally, I was going to sell the prince's face for the sake of her...."The old lady said in a deep voice, "but now..."

"He's just a prince, no matter how big his face is, it's no bigger than His Majesty....." Pingyang Hou interjected, his voice carrying a faint chill.

"I see that the Queen Mother means to be with the mud...."The old lady sighed softly, with a little disappointment.

"I said where did that girl get the toughness, it turned out to be this one who was supporting her back....." Pingyang Hou said slowly, with a slight mockery in his voice, "It's not ..... yet."

The old lady coughed heavily, interrupted Pingyang Hou's words, and gave him a warning look.

"....It's time to unload the mill and kill the donkey...."Pingyang Hou muttered in a low voice, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that the prince has a lot of affection for that woman, and he is afraid that she will be wronged in the future, this is a deliberate trick to give our Yanyan a dismount..."The old lady said quietly.

Pingyang Hou snorted coldly, "In this Great Zhou Dynasty, there is really no one else who can give our family a horse, except for the emperor."

The old lady's expression was a little depressed, and she sighed softly, "Why is he going to do this?" Is it worth it for that woman? Remembering that woman's affection, do you forget our family's ..... to him?"

"I think he just remembers that our family has too much affection," Pingyang Hou said with a deep face.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"So what do you say? Since that's what he meant...," the old lady asked slowly, "Or else..."

"Don't think about it" Pingyang Hou said coldly, "If Yan Yan bows her head to that cheap maid and admits her mistake, then my Pingyang Hou Mansion bows her head and admits her mistake, and my Pingyang Hou Mansion has not yet reached the point where you can be bullied like this, not only Yan Yan can't admit her mistake, but I also want that cheap maid to walk around and let them lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot."

"What are you going to do?" The old lady asked.

Pingyang Hou calmed down for a moment, his voice and complexion softened, and he said lightly: "How to do it?" Do what you have to do, this Great Zhou Dynasty only belongs to one person, only one person can determine the honor and disgrace of life and death in one word, this person is not his ..... now"

After speaking, he stood with his hands in his hands and called out to the outside world.

"Master Hou...."Immediately, a little guy came in and stood with his hands down.

"How's the stuff going?" Pingyang Hou asked.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, everything is ready, several people have even written their confessions, and they have all signed and drawn ....." The little guy replied immediately.

"Good." Pingyang Hou nodded, with a somewhat mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, "Since you eat the leopard and want to play with our Pingyang Hou Mansion, then play with you, toast and don't eat and drink, since you don't leave Yangguan Avenue, then I will send you to hell."
