Seeing Lingyu standing by the window looking at them dumbfounded, Gu Baiyu also realized that her current movements were really not very elegant, so she wanted to distance herself.

Xiao Yanlin didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental, he let go of his hand a little according to her movements, Gu Baiyu felt that his body was falling, and he hugged him tighter in fright.

Lingyu: "......"

If she read it correctly, Hou Ye definitely did it on purpose just now, right?!

The smile on the corner of his mouth is closed, Hou Ye!

"Master Hou, I'll deliver the food later......"

"Close the door, just say we're talking about it, just send it later."

Lingyu nodded, thought about it, and simply closed the window.

This is a concubine, and she, a lonely person, doesn't want to see it.

Gu Baiyu's side, his hands were still tightly clinging to Xiao Yanlin's neck, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, the distance between the two people was extremely close, and even his breathing was entangled.

Xiao Yanlin held Gu Baiyu's waist with one hand, and his hands tightened: "Aren't you going to eavesdrop?" ”

Gu Baiyu remembered the purpose of this trip, and immediately pricked up his ears and listened to the movement in the room.

After listening to it for a while, I probably understood what was going on.

There were three voices in the room, in addition to the second prince and Gu Ruanruan, there was indeed Xiao Ruoyun's voice.

It sounds like Xiao Ruoyun is in the Ministry of Industry and has always had mediocre political performance, Gu Ruan Ruan and the second prince are persuading Xiao Ruoyun to be flexible, and between the words, it seems that there is still something to do with the waterwheel drawings that Gu Ruan Ruan Jin dedicated to the second prince before.

And Xiao Ruoyun's attitude was very resolute, saying that he did not want to be in the same stream with others.

Gu Baiyu finally understood what was going on.

After the second prince handed over the drawings of the waterwheel and the finished product to the emperor, the emperor appreciated it very much, and immediately decided to put it into production, so that the people in the northwest could use the waterwheel as soon as possible.

This is a good thing, but there are many ways to do it.

In addition to providing waterwheel drawings and manufacturing methods, the Ministry of Industry also has a certain say in the cost of waterwheel production.

When it comes to this kind of thing, there is a lot of oil and water to be fished.

Usually the amount reported is generous, and the silver is set down, and when it comes to the local production, there are many local officials among them.

When reporting the cost to the Ministry of Households, it seems that there is collusion with the local officials in the northwest, and the real cost reported is quite different, and the other party also promised to give the Ministry of Industry some benefits, which is a tacit thing for everyone in the Ministry of Industry, but Xiao Ruoyun has a tendon and seems to want to report the matter to the court, and the second prince invited Xiao Ruoyun to fail, so he took the road of Gu Ruan Ruan and made an appointment with Xiao Ruoyun.

In the house, the second prince, who was originally kind to persuade him, seemed to be on fire in the face of Xiao Ruoyun, who did not enter the oil and salt, and his voice became much louder.

"Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink! The entire Ministry of Industry has no opinion, you early rafters, think you can get benefits in the end? When the water is clear, there are no fish, do you think the father doesn't know these things?! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, of course you know that you are greasy, but the cost has tripled, and when it comes to the real production, you have to deduct it, the treasury is not abundant, how many things can be made into the silver taels that are allocated in the end? How many people can enjoy the convenience of waterwheels? ”

Xiao Ruoyun didn't give an inch.

The second prince sneered: "So what? If it hadn't been for the king's suggestion of how to use it, they wouldn't have used it! Now it's time to be grateful! ”

Gu Ruan Ruan also persuaded on the side: "Second master, you are not the first day to enter the court, this kind of thing...... No one said anything, so why are you so persistent? ”

The second prince spoke again: "Come on, sister-in-law, don't persuade me, I think it was the Marquis of Zhenbei who instructed Xiao Gongzi to make an obstacle to this matter, and I don't want this king to add this feat!" ”

There was sarcasm in his voice: "What do you say is only loyal to your father, and now that you are married to Miss Gu, Gu Cheng is loyal to the prince, and those soldiers under the Marquis of Zhenbei, who are they loyal to now, it's hard to say!" ”

When Xiao Ruoyun heard this, she seemed very excited, and even slapped the table with her hands.

Gu Baiyu could hear the sound of porcelain breaking, and then Xiao Ruoyun's angry voice: "My brother only cares about the affairs of the army, never asks more about my affairs, never interferes in matters that are not within the scope of his duties, and never deliberately targets anyone, and the disputes between the princes are never provoked, and the second prince does not want to spew blood!" ”

......

The quarrel in the room became more and more intense, Gu Baiyu figured out the reason, and his thoughts began to drift as he listened.

The weather has been a little hot these days, and now that the sun is up, she and Xiao Yanlin are very close again, and Gu Baiyu soon felt her body temperature rise.

No, it's not her problem, it's Xiao Yanlin.

Xiao Yanlin's chest was too hot, the hand holding her became tighter and tighter, and he lowered his head slightly to look at her, and the hot breath sprayed into her neck, and the small piece of sensitive skin soon began to redden, and it was impossible to ignore it when he breathed in.

Gu Baiyu's thoughts gradually became a little trance.

These three people quarrel and quarrel, how can they talk so much!

It is not clear which Northwest official paid bribes to the Ministry of Industry!

No, it seems that a surname was mentioned just now, what is it...... Surname Zhang? Or what's the last name......

Oops, does Master Hou have a cold and fever, why is his breathing so hot, should he let the doctor take a look later......

"Ma'am, do you understand?"

Just when Gu Baiyu had already flown out of the sky, Xiao Yanlin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

For fear of alarming the people inside, Xiao Yanlin got closer, and his hot breath had already sprayed to the sensitive ear.

Gu Baiyu didn't dare to let go of her hands, so she could only step back slightly, but the strange feeling in her ears was still there, and she rubbed her ears on Xiao Yanlin's shoulders in annoyance, trying to drive away the strange feeling.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Baiyu rubbed a few times, raised his head, and turned his face sideways in disguise: "Cough, I understand, there are people who have a vegetarian meal and want to get the silver of the imperial court." ”

"What else?"

“...... Bribery. ”

"Well, who's the mastermind?"

"The Ministry of Works, and, as well as Lord Zhang in the northwest......"

"Wrong, it's Lord Yang who is the envoy of the Northwest Jiedu." Xiao Ruoyun looked at Gu Baiyu with a smile, and there was some ridicule in her eyes: "Madame is not attentive enough." ”

Gu Baiyu's face turned red for a moment, and he forced himself to calm down: "I don't have internal strength, it's because their voices are too small, wait for me to listen to ......"

Where the chests of the two met, there was a slight vibration, Gu Baiyu raised his head and saw Xiao Yanlin laughing silently, "Madame is still quibbling, everyone inside is gone, only Ruoyun is left." ”

Gu Baiyu was shocked when he heard this.

What! She thought about it for a while, why did the second prince and Gu Ruan Ruan Ruan leave?!

How could Gu Ruan Ruan not wait for Xiao Ruoyun?

As if seeing her doubts, Xiao Yanlin couldn't help but smile and said: "The second prince brushed his sleeves away, and when Aunt Gu persuaded her, she argued with Ruoyun for a few words, Ruoyun said a little heavy, and Aunt Gu left first." ”

Gu Baiyu looked away awkwardly, his eyes fluttered, and he didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Yanlin's eyes: "Oh, so that's the case, Master Hou really has deep internal strength, I haven't heard any of this." ”

"I'm just listening intently, I don't know what Madame was thinking just now, thinking so distractedly, isn't it that I'm blinded by some flower?"

Gu Baiyu was teased again and again, a little annoyed, turned his face to look directly into Xiao Yanlin's eyes, and said confidently: "Aren't you just blinded by this overlord flower in front of you!" ”

After that, he seemed to feel that something was wrong again, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xiao Yanlin secretly said that it was not good, and he was about to make a mistake, but he didn't expect Gu Baiyu to react: "I am in Hou Ye's arms, Hou Ye can still eavesdrop so intently, I just don't know if Hou Ye is not messing around, or I am not charming enough." ”

Xiao Yanlin was keenly aware of the displeasure of the person in his arms, and a sense of crisis struck, and he was thinking about how to appease the little wife in his arms.

The two were stunned for a moment.

In the room, Xiao Ruoyun looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law hanging outside the window with wide eyes, and stammered: "Big, big brother? Sister-in-law?! ”

Gu Baiyu's face turned red with embarrassment, "Okay, what a coincidence, the scenery here is good, you also come to see the scenery?" ”
