Chapter 14 Playing Chess
"The eldest prince is the same as the like." Wei Ning also greeted him and smiled back.
The Qin family is ruthless, but he gave birth to a good son with a good heart, this Gu Mingxuan is a good person in the original book, the Gu family is constantly fighting, and he is the only one who is good to himself.
In the end, the Qin family died, and he worked hard to become a big official, inheriting the Gu family's business.
"Auntie seems to have come out of her mother's room, and Mingxuan is about to go to say goodbye to her mother."
Gu Mingxuan's voice was soft and gentle, and his tone was extremely respectful, completely with the attitude that an elder should have.
At this time in the original book, Gu Mingxuan was still studying in the academy, and he had not been admitted to the academy, so he should have just returned home from class.
"The second lady is all right."
This son of the Qin family is really a humble gentleman, and it is difficult for people not to have a good impression.
Wei Ning remembered that in the book, he worked hard to save the Gu family, if he hadn't had an uncompetitive mother, he wouldn't have taken on the responsibility of a big family at a young age.
"The eldest prince is talented, and he will definitely be able to win the Gu family glory in the future."
Gu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't follow the etiquette to greet him, and he didn't expect that his aunt, who had never paid attention to himself, would say these words today.
He paused and smiled knowingly: "Thank you aunt for your teachings, Mingxuan is the only successor of the Gu family, and he will definitely carry forward the Gu family's business." ”
Soon, the Qin clan sent someone to pick up the eldest prince Gu.
On the way back to the North Courtyard, a gatekeeper came to report, saying that there was an aunt in the palace who invited Wei Ning to go to the palace.
Princess Lehua sat in the pavilion in the imperial garden and waited for her, the same place she had left last time.
"Mrs. Gu, please take a seat." Her Royal Highness the Princess's tone was different from the past, and when she saw Wei Ning coming to politely let her take a seat.
Wei Ning smiled and thanked: "Yes, thank you princess." ”
She could guess what Princess Lehua was for this time, and the last time she persuaded her, Princess Lehua listened a little bit.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, do you want to get General Yu's heart?" Wei Ning asked straight to the point.
Princess Lehua is a straightforward person, and there is nothing more important than General Yu in her mind.
"Princess Ben is getting more and more fond of you." Lehua Gong was holding a white cat in her arms, and she hooked her lips and smiled and touched the cat's hair.
"If you can help me get Brother Yu's heart, this princess will go to her father, and she can do anything according to you!"
Wei Ning blinked, and the corners of his lips curled: "The princess can do nothing for the time being, seeing General Yu taking a detour and treating him coldly, the princess can do it?" ”
As expected, Princess Lehua was startled at first, and then reacted to being fooled, and her beautiful eyes flashed with anger.
"Bold! How dare you tease Her Royal Highness! The aunt next to her didn't think about it and shouted loudly.
"The princess is not angry," Wei Ning continued as calm as water, "I asked the princess to do this to make General Yu change his mind about the princess. ”
"The princess can think, why does General Yu like such a Xiao girl? And to the princess ......"
Princess Lehua realized something and became serious: "What do you mean ......?"
Wei Ning explained: "If the princess is lukewarm to General Yu, maybe General Yu will treat the princess like she did to Miss Xiao." ”
"Princess Ben understands." Princess Lehua's eyes were smeared with a glimmer of brilliance, and her face was full of shyness, firmly believing that this method would definitely capture the heart of her beloved man.
Since listening to this Mrs. Gu's words that day, her temperament has been much more restrained, and she understands more about today's conversation.
"Mrs. Gu is thoughtful, which impresses the old slave."
The old aunt who interjected was named Aunt Ying, and she was the nurse of Princess Lehua.
In the original book, Aunt Ying gave advice to Princess Lehua, but although Aunt Ying was shrewd, she doted on Princess Lehua too much, so much so that she spoiled her.
In the end, the powerful ministers turned into rain, and the status of the only princess of Daqi is still noble.
According to the current development of the plot, it is very likely that the ending of Princess Lehua and Yu Wuhou will not change, and the original book will continue to develop according to the original trajectory.
Princess Lehua sat tired, and proposed to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers while walking and chatting.
The three of them were followed by ten pink-clothed palace maids, and when they walked to the edge of Jinming Pond, Princess Lehua raised her interest and instructed Aunt Ying to bring fish food to feed the goldfish in the pond with their tails.
"Wanxin has seen the Fifth Highness." Out of nowhere, a very soft female voice was heard.
The woman stepped forward softly and charmingly: "It turns out that His Highness is playing chess?" The little girl is not talented, and she knows a little bit about chess, so it is better to have a discussion with His Royal Highness. ”
Aunt Ying recognized who it was at a glance, and said in the princess's ear: "Princess, it's the Fifth Highness in the Tongxin Pavilion." ”
"Today, the concubine Niangniang crossed the Xiao family girl to come to the palace, so let the Fifth Highness come over to see each other."
"Miss Xiao? Which Miss Xiao? Princess Lehua knew that Aunt Ying had always been well-informed, and when she heard the surname Xiao, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Lanxin, and couldn't help frowning and asked coldly.
Aunt Ying continued: "Her name is Xiao Wanxin, she is the second daughter of the Xiao family's waiter, and she also came with her at the birthday banquet of the concubine last time. ”
"How did the concubine and the Xiao family get so close?" Princess Lehua was impatient, she hated that Xiao Lan so much, and even the people with the Xiao family made her hate.
"Mrs. Xiao's mother's family and the concubine's mother's family are cousins, so they have some origins."
Aunt Ying held Princess Lehua with her hand, and the two walked towards Tongxin Pavilion.
"I haven't seen my fifth brother for a long time, it turns out that I have a tryst with my family here."
Princess Lehua sat on the opposite side of the stone table with a smile and squinted at the second miss of the Xiao family.
Wei Ning looked up at the two people sitting in the Tongxin Pavilion, and was immediately a little stunned.
The young man was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, tall but thin, the skin on the side of his face under the white jade crown was as white as jade, his expression was as soft and weak as a woman, and his eyebrows and eyes were even more sad and sad.
There is little mention of this young son of heaven in the original book, he ascended to the throne after the death of Emperor Qi, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he can only be at the mercy of the puppet of the powerful ministers.
The only impressive thing is that this Fifth Highness is not from a high background, his biological mother died early and his temperament is weak, and he is not favored by Emperor Qi, but there is no successor to Daqi, and he has become cannon fodder in political struggles under the use of powerful ministers.
Only once, he was dissatisfied with the mercy of powerful ministers, and the palace mutiny ended in failure and did not end well.
When Wei Ning recalled this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this Fifth Highness was oppressed as a puppet, and he was also a pitiful character.
Maybe the only one rebellion proves that he is also a person who is unwilling to submit to fate in his bones, right?
The Fifth Highness pinched a chess piece with his fingers and landed on the chessboard, his expression was quite indifferent, and he didn't take the princess sister seriously at all.
"The third sister is wrong, it was arranged by the concubine, and it has nothing to do with me."
And the second girl Xiao was left alone.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Xiao Wanxin is well-behaved and sensible.
Last time, I saw it once at the birthday banquet of the noble concubine, although I had an unpleasant quarrel with Yu Wuhou, but who dared to snub the three princesses on the tip of the emperor's heart in person.
"Since Miss Xiao wants to play chess," Princess Lehua knew that his younger brother had always been withdrawn, and she didn't care much.
She waved her hand, deliberately suppressing Xiao Wanxin, and turned to Wei Ning and said, "Mrs. Gu can play chess?" ”
Wei Ning said honestly: "Back to the princess's words, I know a little bit about it. ”
"Then Mrs. Gu, why don't you have a discussion with Miss Xiao?"
