Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Flag Dies
"That's enough." Xin Nian brushed his face: "For your grandmother's sake, I don't care about you, go back, just follow what I said." If your grandmother is not convinced, tell her to go to the prince, and don't come to me."
Gui Zhi was full of anger, but thinking that Xin Nian was a favorite concubine after all, and she was a girl, she really couldn't touch the other party, so she had to slip back and add fuel and vinegar to the Liao family, while looking at the master with hope, I just hoped that she could slap the horse to Qingliang Courtyard under the monstrous anger, and slap Aunt Xin a few times to make herself angry.
The Liao family was really angry, but he only smashed another set of cups and plates, and he refused to go out at all.
Gui Zhi was puzzled and whispered, "What's the use of grandma only getting angry in the house? I don't have a bad body. Aunt Xin is so arrogant, you should teach her a good lesson, if you can't beat it, then let's go to the prince to comment, and if it goes on like this, then Aunt Xin will climb on your head before she sees it."
"Idiot." Liao glared at Gui Zhi fiercely: "I'm going to go to the prince for comment? What's the point of commenting? Are you afraid that your cousin won't know that I'm going to sell all the old people around the princess?"
Gui Zhi woke up in an instant, and his face turned pale: Gu Changting had no feelings for Princess Qin, and now that he was gone, he wouldn't care about the whereabouts of those girls, even if he asked in the future, the Liao family could find an excuse to prevaricate. But if this matter is brought to him at this time, let him know what the Liao family has done, a reprimand is inevitable, and I am afraid that from now on, the prince will be even closer to Aunt Xin and disgusted with his master.
So the matter passed like this, and everyone in the house knew what Liao's attitude was towards Princess Qin and the people around her, but in the end, there was no way at all, so Aunt Xin accepted the person, and it really dropped several jaws.
There are whispering discussions in every corner, and the final result of each discussion is self-evident: Aunt Xin is becoming more and more favored and presumptuous, and grandma has become restrained.
*********************
"Although the subordinates are chewing their tongues indiscriminately, they can also see that Aunt Xin is a little carried away now, and the concubine should also beat her, lest she become more and more ignorant of the height of the sky."
Concubine Liao was half-lying on the couch and closed her eyes to recuperate, and when she heard Qian say this, she opened her eyes and said, "These are all stubbles, no matter how thick the sky is, she is just an aunt, but those two children are worried, I heard that now Changting comes back every day, and he has to personally teach the sixth young master to read, right?"
"yes." Qian sighed and said, "I heard that the sixth young master is smart and clever and can read very well, so the prince likes it very much. Alas! The eldest young master and the fourth young master are pampered by their grandmother, and they are the sons of the family, they have always disdained to compete for favor, and they have never pretended to be in front of the prince, where can they compare to the sixth young master who will please the prince."
Concubine Liao frowned tightly, and listened to the Qian family again: "But don't worry, concubine, no matter what, they are also two concubines, not as good as our eldest young master and fourth young master, as long as grandma is crowned princess, they are the eldest sons, how can the sixth young master compare?"
"Hmm." Concubine Liao nodded slowly, and said softly, "That's as good as being able to seal the concubine......
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the voice of the little girl outside the door: "The prince is here."
Then Gu Changting entered the door, saluted and said with a smile: "Greetings to my mother, how do you feel today?" Is your throat still sore? How's your body good?"
Concubine Liao nodded and smiled, "After drinking Imperial Doctor Chen's medicine, my throat is no longer painful, and my body feels much more relaxed. You just came back from the yamen?"
"No, I just came back from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and I have to lead the troops to practice in two days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back until the New Year, so I came to see my mother today."
Concubine Liao looked at her son lovingly, and said helplessly, "You, you are really exactly the same as your father, dedicated to the court. Alas! I don't ask for anything else, but I want you to be safe and well."
When Gu Changting heard his mother mention his father, a wave of sadness surged in his heart, and he said ashamedly: "My father has passed away, I should have done my filial piety in front of my mother, but loyalty and filial piety can't be both, and my son is really ashamed of his mother."
"That's it, the family and the country
Am I the kind of person who doesn't make sense?" Concubine Liao took Gu Changting's hand and sat down beside her, and said in a serious voice: "As a relative of the emperor, you should work for the imperial court, not to mention that the emperor relies on and trusts you so much, you should be conscientious and live up to the emperor's grace."
"Yes. The son remembers his mother's teachings."
Concubine Liao nodded: "But before you go to the Beijing camp to practice, you have to hand over the piece of invitation to the princess. For so many years, Jiaru has followed you only as a flat wife, and she has also been wronged. Now that the princess has passed away, the great prince's mansion cannot be without a hostess, and it is reasonable for you to ask her to be crowned a princess."
Gu Changting was silent, and after a while, he said lightly: "The princess has just passed away, and my son is in a hurry to ask for the title of princess, won't people say that I am unkind? Let's wait."
Concubine Liao stared at her son tightly, suddenly smiled, and said softly, "You are also worried, it doesn't hurt to wait. There's just one, how long are you going to wait? A year? Two years? Or three years? It's not that you are dealing with me with words, and you want to wronged Jiaru to be a flat wife for the rest of your life, right?"
Gu Changting looked at his mother calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Mother thinks, is it appropriate for my cousin to be the princess?"
"What's wrong?"
Concubine Liao sat up suddenly, and her voice was raised a little: "Jiaru is not worthy of her family background? Or is it not worthy of talent? Not to mention that she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for you, and she is the biggest hero in the house. Tell me that even if she is named a concubine at this time, it is nothing, and there is no filial piety for his wife among the people, and there are those who continue to play after the death of his ex-wife. If you are afraid that the emperor will not like it, I will let the queen and the queen mother discuss with the emperor, and it will be okay next year. In short, don't think about fooling me about this matter, Jiaru must be the princess, otherwise I won't have the face to see her father."
Gu Changting looked at his mother, suddenly smiled, stood up and paced slowly, and said, "Yes, my cousin is a noble daughter of a high family, the daughter of the Liao family. Even if I am a relative of the emperor, I am not qualified to marry her as a wife."
When Concubine Liao heard that her son's words were a little wrong, she coughed and said lightly: "That's not it, my son's family and character are also unique."
"Really?"
Gu Changting stopped and looked at Concubine Liao, "Mother doesn't think so in her heart, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't keep saying that my cousin made me a flat wife, and I really wronged her. It's just that, since he is so wronged, why did my uncle want to marry our family in the first place, and would rather let my cousin be his equal wife than marry her?"
