Chapter 15: The Four Rites That Surprised the Remnant King

Finding that Xuan Cang was stunned, Qin Shuhuang coughed, "What?" You don't want to? ”

Xuan Cang came back to his senses and said in a little panic: "There is no unwillingness ...... subordinates"

Qin Shuhuang pointed to the delicate gift box placed on the small table next to him.

Xuan Cang hesitated for a moment, walked over to lift the gift box, and took the two pro-soldiers to give the gift with a stiff expression.

Entering the Zhenbei Palace, the two pro-soldiers behind him immediately couldn't help laughing.

"Lord Wang, let's see what gifts Her Royal Highness has prepared for you."

The remnant king turned his head and glared coldly at the two pro-soldiers behind him, the two of them were the close companions of the remnant king, named Xie Zhuo and Xie Cheng respectively, who grew up with the remnant king, and were very familiar with the master's character.

Zhenbei Wangfu is very low-key, there are not many people in the palace, and the sweepers and patrols are some old servants and veterans, and there is not a single young maid in the whole palace, some are old grandmothers and stewards, and most of them are relatives of old servants and veterans.

The remnant king quickly stepped into the study, and as soon as he stepped into the study, he paused and instructed the two permanent followers behind him, "You are guarding the door, and you are not allowed to come in without the permission of this king." ”

Xie Zhuo and Xie Cheng hurriedly responded respectfully and stood at the door of the study.

The remnant king gently put the gift box in his hand on the table, as if he was afraid of damaging the contents inside, he used the lightest action to untie the sliding buckle on the gift box, and when he was about to open the gift box, he didn't know why, he was actually a little nervous at this moment, after all, this was the first gift Qin Shuhuang gave him.

The lid of the gift box was slowly lifted, and the contents of the gift box were immediately imprinted.

There are four things in the gift box, tea, snacks, incense, and candied fruit.

In fact, they are all common greetings to visit the neighborhood, but the pupils of the remnant king can't help but shrink, and the dark under his eyes becomes deeper and deeper.

He picked up the tea leaves and sniffed them, it was his favorite cloud tea.

Dim sum is his favorite walnut cake.

He likes sweets, no matter what preserves, he likes them.

And that small and delicate fragrant cake had a light and cold aroma, the same as Qin Shuhuang's most commonly used smoked fragrance......

These things were like a giant stick, and it immediately stirred his heart into a mess.

Could it be that Shuhuang is interested in him?

In an instant, the remnant king felt that it was impossible, this gift was given by Qin Shuhuang to the Zhenbei Palace, not to Xuancang.

Could it be that Shuhuang knows his identity?

This is even more impossible, he has been hiding by her side for three years, if she had known earlier, how could he not see it at all?

Are these greetings really just a coincidence?

The remnant king's originally excited expression condensed at this moment, and he didn't know when his fists clenched unwillingly.

When he felt the pain in his palm, the remnant king realized it and released his fist.

He summoned the old housekeeper and asked the old housekeeper to personally prepare a return gift for Qin Shuhuang, and when he heard the list of gifts from the master's mouth, the well-informed old housekeeper of the palace was surprised.

After the old housekeeper left, the remnant king carefully packed the candied fruit and snacks with lotus, and put the tea and incense in the place where he used it most often, and then left the palace in the north of the town.

Not long after Qin Shuhuang left the Gu Mansion, Gu Hongchao and Mrs. Gu got the news.

Gu Hongchao sneered, not paying attention to Qin Shuhuang's departure from the Gu Mansion at all.

This woman is deliberately making trouble, in the past three years, Qin Shuhuang has not used any means in order to get his attention, and he has used the method of leaving the Gu family to go out to live more than once.

As long as he didn't coax, in a few days, Qin Shuhuang knew that this method was useless, and he would soon obediently review the mansion.

This time she beat him ruthlessly, not to mention that he would give in, these are all Qin Shuhuang's own findings!

Bai Lingge, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Gu Hongchao, but she didn't know the bottom in her heart, she always felt that Qin Shuhuang this time seemed to be different from before.

She stroked her slightly bulging belly and looked at Gu Hongchao, "Hongchao, if you can't give this child a normal identity, I'd rather not have him." ”

Where could Gu Hongchao hear Bai Lingge say such a thing, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, took Bai Lingge into his arms, and immediately swore a curse, "Lingge, don't worry, I always like you alone, your child is my only bloodline, and will only be the only heir of the Gu family!" You know, I've never liked Qin Shuhuang! ”

Bai Lingge burst into tears and nodded again and again, "Really? ”

"Lingge, how can I be willing to lie to you."

"Hongchao, then you have to protect me and our children."

Gu Hongchao gently patted Bai Lingge and coaxed her.

Mrs. Gu's yard is not so "warm".

Mrs. Gu sat on the top, her face slightly gloomy, "You said that the princess left the house?" Where did it go? ”

The mother-in-law who returned sweated on her forehead, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, Her Royal Highness the princess took the people around her to the eldest princess's mansion, saying that she had already lived in the eldest princess's mansion." ”

"I see, step aside."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand, and the cronies and grandmothers around her immediately drove out all the maids and mothers-in-law who were waiting in the room.

Only Gu Yuling, who was standing behind Mrs. Gu, and Gu Yufei, who was sitting at the table and playing with jewelry, were left in the room.

Gu Yufei couldn't put down the set of ruby-encrusted jewelry in her hand, which was just transferred from the warehouse a few days ago, and was one of Qin Shuhuang's dowries.

She heard her mother-in-law's words just now, and then pouted and said disdainfully: "Mother, you don't have to care, it's not the first time Qin Shuhuang has played this trick, don't you just want my brother to hurry up and apologize to her, and then welcome her back to the house." When she stays for a few days, the people in the Gu Mansion ignore her, and she will come back in disgrace, and then she will definitely come to your mother to ask for sin, and the filial piety of a few sets of jewelry is indispensable. ”

Mrs. Gu didn't feel relaxed because of her daughter's words.

She faintly felt that Qin Shuhuang was different from the previous few times she left the Gu Mansion, before, Qin Shuhuang left the Gu Mansion to live in the Huangzhuang or the Gu family's Zhuangzi for a few days at most, this time she did not go to the Zhuangzi but went back to her own Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the maids and guards in the courtyard were all taken away, and none of them were left.

Linked to Qin Shuhuang's actions in the past two days, Mrs. Gu was even more worried.

She stood up suddenly, walked to her daughter's side, and snatched away the jewelry that Gu Yufei was playing with, "Yufei, yesterday you made the princess unhappy, tomorrow you will personally go to the eldest princess's mansion with a gift to apologize to the princess and probe the princess." ”

Gu Yufei looked at Mrs. Gu in disbelief and said in shock: "Mother, are you crazy, do you really want me to apologize to that slut Qin Shuhuang?" I'm not going! ”

Mrs. Gu hated iron and steel, but she knew her daughter's temper very well, so she slowed down her tone and said, "It's not for you to bear the guilt, it's just for you to go and explore the princess's tone." This is for your brother's sake and for our family's good, if you promise your mother, your mother will give you this set of jewelry now. ”

Gu Yufei glanced at the dazzling ruby dotted emerald jewelry on the table, and after a while, she reluctantly agreed to Mrs. Gu, "Okay." ”

After saying that, he left happily with the box containing the jewelry.

Mrs. Gu was a little tired and in no mood to find fault, so she waved her hand to let Gu Yuling retreat.

Gu Yuling saluted and left, and as soon as she walked to the gate of Mrs. Gu's courtyard, she was stopped by Gu Yufei.
