"Alas. The chief of staff sighed and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, please forgive the minister, although this Gao County Commander is a smart person, but his daughter is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, I heard that the Lord Lou Yulou this time is sent by the emperor to monitor His Royal Highness, if the minister did not guess wrong, what happened at the previous celebration banquet, I am afraid it has been written in the booklet, if Lou Yu finds out that Gao Baoyue and His Royal Highness are in private with His Royal Highness, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will be too much by then!"

In this disaster relief, Xiao Yuqing didn't do anything, at best, he just transported a few loads of grain and grass, and the credit was all on the three of Duan Rufeng who solved the epidemic, Xiao Yuqing's work was not big, if it was mentioned in the report that Xiao Yuqing fell in love with the daughter of the local county commander during the disaster relief, the emperor would be unhappy.

"Presumably, there is not much written about His Highness in the book now, His Highness must think of countermeasures to avoid ......" The staff lowered their heads, everything was silent, Xiao Yuqing broke off the branches on the tree at hand irritably, and crushed it under his feet.

This disaster relief is the best opportunity to make meritorious service in front of the emperor and establish authority in front of the minister, he calculated the prince, solved Xiao Lanshu, and the opportunity he got with great effort must not be destroyed in the hands of Lou Yu!

Xiao Yuqing twisted his fingertips.

The staff should leave first at the order of Xiao Yuqing, Xiao Yuqing sat down in the courtyard, holding a celadon teacup in his hand, staring intently at the corner of the table, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gao Baoyue quickly tidied up her hair bun and skirt, paced forward, bowed a few steps away from Xiao Yuqing, and said coquettishly: "Baoyue has seen His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed." ”

Xiao Yuqing seemed to be summoned back to her senses, and put the tea cup back on the table in her hand, the corners of Xiao Yuqing's mouth raised slightly, and nodded, "Miss Gao." ”

Gao Baoyue licked her lips and tried her best to hide the excitement in her heart, "Your Highness still remembers me?"

"That's natural, Miss Gao's one-handed piano skills, even in the capital, there are few opponents, and the temple naturally remembers Miss Gao vividly. Xiao Yuqing raised his eyebrows and said politely: "Miss Gao, sit down, this is not the capital, there is no need to be restrained, to be honest, this hall also wants to discuss piano skills with Miss Gao." ”

Gao Baoyue sat down, and lowered her head in flattery, "Your Highness has looked down on Baoyue, last time...... Last time, Baoyue was eager to show His Highness Baoyue's piano skills, who knew that it was a celebration banquet specially held for the Pleasure Divine Doctor, and the Lou Lord was angry, and Baoyue was ashamed......"

Xiao Yuqing's eyes flashed with disgust, and after a moment, he turned into a gentle gaze staring at Gao Baoyue, "Since the matter has passed, Miss Gao doesn't have to worry too much, Lord Lou has been an official for decades, and he is a strict character, and those who don't know are not guilty, and Lord Lou will probably not delve into this matter again." ”

Gao Baoyue's eyes lit up, and Xiao Yuqing's gentle and watery timbre made her dizzy, "Although Baoyue has never been to the capital, I have always heard of the reputation of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, Baoyue and Baoyue have admired His Royal Highness for many years, and the tunes played a few days ago, Baoyue thought...... Broadcast it to His Highness alone......"

......

Duan Rubian sent Shui Ningzhi, who was in good condition, from the time of Mao, to look for clues in the Prime Minister's Mansion under the pretext of observing the condition, and did not leave the Prime Minister's Mansion until noon, and the clear curtain stayed on the side of the stone lion at the door to wait for her, Duan Rubian just stepped out of the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the clear curtain ran to her side and pointed to the stone lion

"Miss, half an hour ago, my subordinates saw Gao County's daughter and maid coming here, Gao Baoyue went in, and her maid came with her on her back, just behind the stone lion. "If I guessed correctly, Gao Baoyue must have come to look for Xiao Yuqing, to grasp Gao Baoyue's whereabouts, it is impossible for him to stare at it every day, the best way is to find an internal response by Gao Baoyue's side.

Qinglian watched Gao Baoyue being carried by the maid with his own eyes, and the maid wiped her tears behind the stone lion and cursed Gao Baoyue's words, and was also heard by Qingyue.

Duan Rubian raised the corners of his mouth, put his lips to Qingxuan's ear and whispered: "Go and put the news that Gao Baoyue came to find Xiao Yuqing and put it on Lou Yu's side." ”

Qing Curtain nodded, and disappeared around the wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Duan Rubian took out a towel from his waist to cover his face, hid the medicine box he was carrying in the grass on the side of the road, and walked straight in the direction of the stone lion.

......

"What kind of person, relying on the fact that she is the county lady, what is there to be arrogant, the daughter of the county order still wants to be the princess, you are daydreaming!" After the stone lion, the maid wiped her tears and cursed quietly, stomping her feet fiercely with a hideous face, as if she noticed that someone around her was looking, and immediately turned her head.

Xing'er's heart tightened, and when she looked around and saw that there was no one, she scolded loudly, "Who are you, how are you, how are you eavesdropping on me!"

Xing'er bit her lip, worried in her heart, wondering if Duan Rubian listened to her words of cursing Gao Baoyue, turned her head and wanted to leave, but before she took two steps, her wrist was shackled, and Duan Rufang said with a smile in her voice: "What are you doing in a hurry, don't you wait for your young lady?" If your young lady comes out and can't find your person, I'm afraid you won't just go back with her." ”

Xing'er turned around and slapped Duan Rufang's hand hard, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"You're slandering! I didn't say anything!"

"It doesn't matter whether you say this or not, the important thing is whether your young lady believes you said it or not. ”

Xing'er clenched her back molars and sweated profusely, "Then what do you want, I'm just a maid, I, I have nothing!"

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. Duan Rubian said soothingly, "I just want you to do something for me." ”

"I ......" Xing'er's eyes flickered, although she hated Gao Baoyue very much, it didn't mean that she had the courage to harm Gao Baoyue, Xing'er thought that she could be perfunctory, don't let this woman tell Gao Baoyue what she just said.

Duan Rubian looked at the expression on Xing'er's face, and knew what she was thinking, so she leaned into her slightly and lowered her voice, "I think you are a smart person, to tell you the truth, I am the girl next to the prime minister, and I was also present at the banquet a few days ago." ”

"The prime minister's granddaughter, do you know Shui Xiuying, the eldest lady of the Shui family?"

Apricot shook her head in confusion.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you just need to know that I am Miss Shui's maid, Miss Water loves His Royal Highness Five, and is the one who will become the Fifth Imperial Princess. Duan Rubian smiled in his eyes for a while, making up nonsense, blowing Shui Xiuying into the sky and the earth, and deliberately exaggerating the extent to which Shui Xiuying admired Xiao Yuqing.

"If Gao Baoyue really follows His Royal Highness, when the time comes, Miss Shui will definitely not be able to spare her, even those of you who follow her, don't think about any good end, if you help me, let Gao Baoyue's reputation be ruined and marry His Royal Highness, I will give you a sum of money, let you leave the county mansion, and restore your freedom, if you want to, you can also follow me into Beijing, go to Miss Xiangfu to be a maid and enjoy happiness, do it or not, you decide for yourself." Duan Rufang's chin was slightly raised, and the conditions that came out of a cherry lips were very attractive.

Xing'er clenched her hands, the look in her eyes was very struggling, and it took a long time before she lowered her head and replied, "I—I want to think about it......"

Duan Rufang responded happily: "Okay! If you think about it clearly, see you in the teahouse in the city in three days, you have to think about it quickly, if you can't do it, I have to find someone else!"

"Good, good. Xing'er nodded vigorously, "Dare to ask my sister's name?"

"You call me wishful. ”

"It's worthy of being the person next to the eldest lady, and my sister's name is really good. Xing'er couldn't see the meanness she had before, and greeted her flatteringly.

Duan Ru's goal had been achieved, so he didn't bother talking to her anymore, and left the place with his head bowed.

Xing'er watched her leave, the smile on her face gradually calmed down, and her face was entangled, it was undeniable that Xing'er was really moved by Duan Rufang's words, Gao Baoyue was a difficult person to serve, she had been by her side for a few years, she was called like a dog, and the monthly case was still pitiful, Xing'er had already had revenge in her heart, and now someone threw such a big olive branch to her, anyone would be tempted.

It's just that if this matter is exposed, she will definitely die without a place to be buried.

Xing'er gritted her teeth, anyway, there were still three days, enough for her to think clearly.

......

This side was flawed and Xing'er, and the curtain over there also smoothly transmitted the news of Gao Baoyue's coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion into Louyu's courtyard.

Xiao Fu, Lou Yu's housekeeper, was about to go to Lou Yu's study to deliver tea, when he heard the people in the house getting together, I don't know what they were talking about, and when they saw him arrive, they quickly dispersed, pretending that nothing had happened.

Xiao Fu frowned, his rickety body straightened, and he said sharply: "What are you doing?" The yard has not been swept all morning, and what kind of tongue is it to chew together. "The people who sweep the yard are all maids, and they like to gossip and slack off on their own duties, and it is not the first time Xiao Fu has seen it.

A few maids hung their heads and didn't dare to speak, Xiao Fu sighed, and was about to leave, when someone behind him called him.

"Steward Xiao, wait. ”

Xiao Fu turned around and smiled slightly, "Mama Li." ”

Mama Li and Xiao Fu are both old people around Lou Yu, so this time the two also followed, Mama Li and Xiao Fu have a good relationship, she takes care of the maids in the house on weekdays, Xiao Fu frowned suspiciously, "What's the matter with Mama Li?" I'm in a hurry to send tea to the master, I'm afraid of getting cold." ”

"Don't worry, it won't be long in the delay. Mama Li dragged people to an open place.

"I have something to tell you, I just heard that the daughter of Gao County Ling came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find the fifth prince. ”

Mama Li and Xiao Fu both knew the real purpose of Lou Yu coming to relieve the disaster, and naturally everything about the prince had to be reported, Xiao Fu nodded, "Okay, I know, I'll go tell the adult." ”
