Chapter 203: Giving Gifts

For a girl who took the initiative to come over, Xie Yunshu didn't even blink an eyelid, and humbly and indifferently refused the other party's conversation.

"The county lord may have admitted that he was wrong, and he has never met you in Xia."

He was also a good son in the capital, and all the girls in the capital dreamed of the lover, and he was not surprised by such a scene.

It is worth saying that it was precisely because the original owner fell in love with Xie Yunshudi's face that he shamelessly wanted to marry him, so that it became a joke in the entire capital.

A Yan dog like Zhao Yunqing, I'm afraid that half a face is enough to attract her.

Even when she heard the obvious resistance in the other party's words, she still didn't give up, and took another step closer with a smile on her face.

"In this way, I just heard Uncle Wang say that you are the teacher of Xiao Shizi. If there is something that the slave family does not understand in the future, can I go and ask you?"

The corners of Ye Hao's mouth, which was standing on the side, stiffened.

So, is such a big lady standing next to her being directly ignored?

Originally, she was supposed to have the idea of eating melons, but at this time, she had some pantothenic acid in her heart, and glanced at Xie Yunshu.

Hum!

She bit her lip, secretly pulled the corner of the other party's clothes, and was about to leave.

What kind of thoughts this girl is thinking in front of her, everyone else can understand!

"I'm sorry, but I'm only in charge of Xiao Shizi's learning. If the county lord has any questions, it is better to consult the prince."

Taking a step back calmly, Xie Yunshu turned his head to look at Ye Hao and smiled at her.

Although under the cover of the mask, he can't see his true appearance, but the corners of his mouth are undeceiving.

Before Zhao Yunqing wanted to continue talking, he took the lead in interrupting the other party.

"I still have something to do with my wife, so let's go first."

After saying that, he took Ye Hao, who was a little stunned, and strode out of the door.

Seeing that he was almost unsuccessful, Zhao Yunqing lost the smile on his face, and his face was blue and white for a while.

Being looked at in such a public place, and there are many other princes and concubines next to him, I am afraid that it will be a loss of face.

With a light snort, she also led the people away.

King Cheng'an, who witnessed this scene, frowned without a trace, and immediately whispered to the subordinates beside him for a while.

After the banquet dispersed, several distinguished guests returned to their respective courtyards, including Zhao Yunqing.

"What's the news?"

Sitting in the room, Zhao Yunqing was fiddling with the jewelry box she brought, choosing accessories to attend the birthday banquet tomorrow.

Behind her, the personal maid was entering the house in a hurry.

"Miss, the slave maid heard from the people in the palace that the gentleman seems to have come to the palace not long ago, and he was the steward of the eldest prince of the Fu family in Jiangnan before."

"Fu family?!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yunqing's movements in his hands stopped, and an incredible look appeared on his face.

How could someone from the Fu family appear in the Cheng'an Palace?!

This made Zhao Yunqing a little confused, and felt that something was not quite right.

She is the concubine of King Ruixian, and the daughter of a favorite concubine, she is somewhat favored, and naturally she still has a little understanding of the situation of several parties.

In addition, now King Ruixian is staring at this piece of fat in the Jiangnan region, thinking about how to bring it into his hands all day long, and even the children who are thinking about Zhao Yunqing who are trying to please him understand this.

Moreover, the relationship between the Fu family and King Cheng'an is incompatible, how can there be a steward who has become a teacher in the Cheng'an Palace? Not to mention that the other party seems to be extremely valued by King Cheng'an!

"What about the other news?"

She frowned and looked at the maid, who had been with her since she was a child, and it was impossible for her to lie.

The maid glanced at her quietly, biting her lip and seemed to have some scruples, but after thinking about it, she still said.

"Otherwise, it is said that this Fu Gongzi and his wife have a very good relationship. Mrs. Fu was almost kidnapped by thieves on the street, Gong Xie

In order to take revenge, the son directly led people to take the entire gang of thieves."

This matter spread throughout the palace, after all, it was a great merit for Xie Yunshu to capture the thief with the county order.

However, when Zhao Yunqing heard the news, his face became even colder.

The man she fancies will not be let go!

As for Ye Hao, Zhao Yunqing has never put it in her eyes, in her opinion, the other party is just an ordinary person with a low status, where is she qualified to compare with a county lord herself?

Even if she is a concubine, she also has royal blood flowing in her body, and not all cats and dogs can compare with herself.

At the same time, the other side of the palace.

"Lord Wang, Zhao Yunqing really sent someone to secretly inquire about the news of Fu Gongzi."

The housekeeper lowered his head and told the whereabouts of Zhao Yunqing's personal maid.

Today's Cheng'an Mansion is not like in the past, it is full of meticulous works sent by other forces.

"Well, you didn't let them know what you shouldn't know, did you?"

Zhao Gaowei's face remained unchanged, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

As early as when he saw Zhao Yunqing's strange state, he anticipated the other party's next move and arranged everything in advance.

"Not a single word of the news about Fu Gongzi and Xiao Shizi has been leaked,"

"Well, you go down and keep keeping people staring at those people."

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Gaowei pulled the housekeeper back.

Although he didn't want to fight for the throne, he was never less vigilant.

For these concubines and concubines who came to celebrate their birthdays, he never took it lightly, and sent people to keep an eye on them from the moment he entered the Lingnan realm.

For those ambitious brothers, Zhao Gaowei has never despised them.

Especially King Ruixian.

Ye Hao and the others returned to the courtyard, and the former looked angry and rushed straight to the house.

Ye Hao didn't know why she was angry, but the sullen feeling made her uncomfortable, and she didn't want to meet Xie Yunshu.

Seeing her running away, Xie Yunshu was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and then entered his room.

Soon, he walked out again, walked to the door of Ye Hao's room, reached out and knocked.

Ye Hao, who covered herself in the quilt, was still sulking, but she didn't know where the anger came from, and she was so angry that she was inexplicable.

When she heard the knock on the door, she pursed her lips and opened her mouth to let the other party in.

Before Xie Yunshu entered the door, she hurriedly folded the quilt and put on a casual appearance.

"Here's for you."

Walking into the house, Xie Yunshu didn't notice the somewhat messy bed at all, but lowered his head slightly, and handed a box in his hand to Ye Hao.

The first time she received a gift from him, Ye Hao was instantly stunned, and even the sullenness in Fang Cai's heart dissipated.

"What is this?"

She asked softly, and then her hand moved without stopping, and opened the wooden box.

A smooth silver hairpin is lying quietly in the middle of the box, and at the top of the hairpin is a simple dragon and phoenix style, with several light blue gemstone embellishments.

The first time she saw the hairpin, Ye Hao was attracted to it.

Such a beautiful hairpin was something she had never seen before when she went shopping.

"Ahem, I happened to see this hairpin when I went to order the mask yesterday, and I thought you didn't have much jewelry, so I bought it together."

When he said this, the roots of Xie Yunshu's ears, which were hidden in his black hair, were red.

He didn't mention how many jewelry stores he visited and how many comparisons he went through in order to find a hairpin suitable for Ye Hao.

Instead, he deliberately said that he bought it easily, and suppressed the little thought in his heart.

But whether it was purchased deliberately or bought casually, Ye Hao, who received the gift, couldn't help but feel sweet, pinching the box and smirking.

A sweet smell filled the room, and just as the atmosphere was heating up, a sharp knock on the door prepared for such a beautiful atmosphere

The two came back to their senses, glanced at each other, and then immediately staggered their gazes, and a red glow flew on their faces.

One with a mask, the other with a veil, can't look at it.

At this time, the third person in the house, Lin Bin, calmly walked out of his room and went to open the door.

"Ahem, it's all here, who can come over?"

Now that it's dark, and the entire palace is already lit up, who would be so eager to come and knock on the door?

When the two of them came out together, they saw that Lin Bin was the only one left at the door.

"Who?"

Seeing that the door was bare, Ye Hao looked at Lin Bin with some confusion, she was a step slower, why didn't she even look at the figure?

Xie Yunshu, who was beside her, was also puzzled and aimed his gaze at Lin Bin.

Raising his hand to show the object in his hand, Lin Bin explained:

"It was someone from the palace who came to deliver a letter, saying that Fu Ru'an sent someone to send it."

"Fu Ru'an?!"

The other two's eyes widened in surprise as they went to get the letter.

When the hands of the two touched, they quickly retracted each other, as if they had been electrocuted.

Glancing at each other, Xie Yunshu coughed lightly and took the lead in saying:

"Let's take a look."

Ye Hao nodded, hiding the shyness on her face, and reached out to take the letter.

After returning to the house and reading the letter by the light, she handed the letter to Xie Yunshu with a surprised face.

"Fu Gongzi said that he has already arrived in the city and will attend the birthday banquet tomorrow."

Ye Hao didn't expect Fu Ru'an to also attend the banquet, and a few days ago she was thinking about writing another letter to discuss the opening of a restaurant with the other party.

It's just that Lingnan and Jiangnan are far apart, and the transportation is inconvenient, so it takes at least two or three days to communicate with each other before receiving a reply.

Now that Fu Ruan came over in person, she could take the opportunity to talk to the other party.

Whether it is to settle those girls who have not been selected into the weaving workshop, or to have their own foundation in Chengpingzhou County, it is imperative to open a restaurant.

With the help of such an experienced partner as Fu Ru'an, she will be extremely relaxed, at least not as she is now, in order to open a weaving workshop, everything has to be handled by herself.

"Fu Gongzi is here?"

Xie Yunshu didn't smile and frowned, as if he didn't understand the other party's operation.

After reading the contents of the entire letter, his expression became more solemn.

Ye Hao ignored the point mentioned in the letter, this time it was not only Fu Ru'an who came to attend the banquet in Cheng'an Palace, but also his eldest uncle Xia Bohan.

Thinking about this trip, Fu Ruan is just a supporting role, and the real protagonist is the current household secretary.

"Looks like there's going to be a great show tomorrow."

Putting down the letter, Xie Yunshu pursed his lips with a deep expression.

The Tobe Shangshu, who should be far away in the Jiangnan area to "recuperate", actually appeared in the Lingnan area thousands of miles away, and even came to attend the birthday banquet of the prince of Cheng'an.

Just such a piece of news is estimated to shock the government and the opposition and attract the attention of the princes of the capital and other three parties.

After all, Xia Bohan represents not only the official hat on his head, but the symbol of the entire Jiangnan region.

The fact that King Ruixian wanted to win over the Jiangnan region was almost on the table, but the Xia family not only did not accept King Ruixian's overtures, but instead went all the way to King Cheng'an's side to show goodwill, didn't this arouse the suspicion of others?

Xie Yunshu didn't understand the purpose of Xia Bohan's trip, and he couldn't make a move easily for the time being.
