Chapter 167: Pretending to be confused
The corners of the eldest princess Zhaoyang's mouth twitched slightly: "I heard that the prince of Guchang was helped away by the servants."
"That Kou girl is really massive." Emperor Xingyuan said, suddenly losing his mind.
Seeing him like this, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang asked aloud, "What's wrong with the imperial brother?"
Emperor Xingyuan came back to his senses: "Oh, it's okay, the imperial sister goes."
Waiting for the eldest princess of Zhaoyang to leave, Emperor Xingyuan leaned on the back of the chair and came back to his senses.
At this age, there is only one woman he has ever seen, and that is his wife Xinxin.
It's not that Shin Shin is not drunk after a thousand cups, but that she doesn't change her color after drinking too much, so that people can't see that she is drunk.
Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but be curious about the "Kou girl" he heard from his sister several times, of course, this curiosity is human nature, and as the king of a country, he will not summon a little girl into the palace to meet him in order to satisfy his curiosity.
"Sun Yan, pass on Gu Changbo to enter the palace."
When Gu Changbo heard that the emperor had summoned him, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and entered the palace, and when he saw Emperor Xingyuan's face, he secretly said that it was not good.
"I heard that Ling Lang went to fight with Miss Kou who opened the bookstore?"
Gu Changbo had already scolded his son because of this, but he never expected that the emperor would specially summon him into the palace to inquire.
"Let Your Majesty laugh, that bastard thing has always thought of a play."
"Young people are inevitably competitive, but these competitive spirits are better placed in literary and martial arts classes than in competition with women, don't you think?"
"Yes......" Gu Changbo responded honestly, but he was not convinced.
Does the emperor know that your son also competed with Miss Kou at the banquet not long ago?
Gu Changbo had the urge to sue, and suddenly reacted: I can't sue, it's his nephew!
"I heard that I lost." Emperor Xingyuan said.
Gu Changbo was really embarrassed now, and when he got home, he carried a stick and angrily looked for his son.
Emperor Xingyuan summoned King Qing into the palace again, and reprimanded with a calm face: "Think about your identity before doing things, you are different from your cousin."
For Emperor Xingyuan, who has always been serious, King Qing was afraid in his heart, and honestly admitted his mistake, and only dared to show his anger when he left the palace.
Who filed the complaint against his father?
King Qing, who was in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked in the direction of the eldest princess's mansion.
It must have been his aunt.
King Qing's expression was gloomy, and he lowered the curtains of the car, and he was in a very bad mood.
For as long as he can remember, he noticed that his aunt was very cold to him, and when he grew up, he would be sure that it was not a delusion. The mother concubine said that it was because her aunt didn't like her father's concubines and hated the house.
Hate the house and the black - King Qing silently recited these words, and once again swore in his heart that when he ascended to that position, some people would look good.
Xin Yu met He Qingxiao the day before the release of the new book "Journey to the West".
After talking so much nonsense, she was very embarrassed, but time is magical, and when we meet again after these days, the feeling of embarrassment is much greater.
"Lady He, tea."
Looking at Xin Yu's abrupt face, He Qingxiao was a little unsure if she remembered those words when she was drunk, but she should be grateful.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
But he didn't reveal anything: "No, Miss Kou has a good wine. This is a small thank you gift, and I hope Miss Kou will not dislike it."
Xin Yu's gaze fell on the wooden box placed on the table, and her lips curled slightly.
Lord He actually prepared a thank you gift.
"Can I open it and see?"
He Qingxiao smiled and nodded, "Miss Kou, please feel free."
Xin Yu opened the wooden box, and inside were all kinds of small animals carved by beautiful jade, a total of twelve pieces, which was a set of twelve zodiac signs.
"It's like it." Xin Yu picked up a jade monkey and admired it sincerely.
Looking at the jade quality and withering, this set of zodiac signs must not be cheap.
Xin Yu played with the little jade monkey, and said in his heart that this would make Lord He break the bank.
"Miss Kou likes it." He Qingxiao saw that she really liked it, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a smile.
The drunken thing is considered to be in the past, and Xin Yu inquired about Princess Xuan: "Lord He talked about the prince before, and when I saw Princess Xuan that day, I was a little curious, can Lord He tell me about it?"
Asked He Qingxiao about these before, she had to rack her brains to find a reason, since she confided most of the secrets, she could ask as much as she wanted.
"There are three princesses in the palace, Princess Xuan is the oldest, only one year younger than King Qing, and the other two princesses are twin daughters, who are only eight years old this year......
Xin Yu pursed her lips when she heard Princess Xuan's age.
Counting the time, Princess Xuan's mother should have been pregnant when her mother left the palace.
Seeing that she was listening carefully, He Qingxiao continued, "The second and third princesses are still young and raised in the deep palace, and outsiders don't know their situation very well. As for Princess Xuanโ"
"Does Princess Xuan often leave the palace?" Sensing He Qingxiao's hesitation, Xin Yu asked casually.
He Qingxiao shook his head: "Princess Xuan actually lives in a simple place, but because of her age, she is more concerned than the two little princesses. And then there'...... Princess Xuan and Empress Xuan were not given the title of princess."
In the past, the favored princess could be titled even shortly after birth, and at the latest, he would also be titled. Although there are many rules in this dynasty that are different from those of the previous dynasty, the age of the two princes is according to the previous dynasty, and Princess Xuan has not been crowned as an adult, which makes it inevitable to guess the emperor's attitude towards this eldest daughter.
The eldest princess is not favored, and in the past two years, it has become the consensus of hundreds of officials and nobles.
Hearing He Qingxiao say this, Xin Yu finally understood where the strange feeling at the banquet that day came from.
No wonder several noble ladies talked and laughed, and Princess Xuan sat on the cold bench alone.
This kind of mentality is not difficult to understand, a princess who is not treated by the emperor is not good to please, and if she provokes trouble, it is naturally better to stay away.
Six princes, three princesses, it's really a lot.
Xin Yu lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.
"Miss Kou."
Xin Yu raised her eyes to look at the man opposite.
At this moment, she was suddenly glad for the choice she made when she faced his questioning that day.
This allowed her heart to be filled with secrets and breathe a little.
"What does Lord He want to say?"
He Qingxiao leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice: "What do you think the emperor will do if he knows about the existence of Gongzi Xin?"
Xin Yu's eyes were cold: "I can't think of it."
He Qingxiao looked at this face similar to that of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, and sighed softly in her heart.
He couldn't think of it either.
