Drunk House

 Chapter 779 Worry (1st update)

Accompanied by the housekeeper, Princess Qingping went into Duanhua's private treasury and took a look around. When she came out, she sighed.

 The steward asked cautiously: "Princess, why are you sighing?"

"Hey, I'm sighing that there are so many good things. Su Rong made such a big effort to send Duan Hua a congratulatory gift. How can we have so many good things in our house? What should we give in return?" Qingping walked to his private treasury worriedly, " Go to my private treasury and see if there are any good things. Pick out a few of them, but they are too inferior and cannot be used."

The steward said cautiously: "The princess gave the princess a gift, maybe she didn't expect that you would have to worry about giving the princess a gift in return."

"Well, even though that's the case, how could she not return the gift? Besides, she was conferred the title of princess and married Zhou Gu, which was a great joy. Moreover, her wedding to Zhou Gu also happened in front of Duan Hua, so it was always a happy event. I want to give you a gift." Qingping said: "Let's go and follow me to choose."

The housekeeper responded and quickly accompanied the princess to her private treasury.

As a princess, Qingping naturally has a lot of good things in her private treasury. The late emperor loved her very much when he was still alive. Now His Majesty is her brother from the same mother, so naturally he will think of her if he has good things. But compared to the good things in the private treasury accumulated by the king of Nanchu for generations, her place is really incomparable.

She picked for a long time, picked out a dozen items that were practical, and ordered the housekeeper to put them away alone. Then she thought about it and said, "Say, if I go into the palace to look for the emperor's brother to rob him, will he give it to me anyway?" Duanhua is his daughter-in-law, and all these good things will go to the East Palace as a dowry."

The housekeeper didn’t know either, so he suggested, “How about you give it a try?”

Qingping nodded, "I will discuss it with the consort after he returns home."

She thought to herself, if the emperor didn't give it to him, would she go to him and cry like before? Just give him a headache after crying so hard?

　　She had nothing to be embarrassed about before, but now, it is estimated that the emperor brother is not happy to see her. Who wants his good prince to be taken over by Duan Hua? He liked Duanhua as his niece, but naturally he was not satisfied with her as his daughter-in-law.

The prince-in-law went to the Yamen a little early today. After returning home, he asked, "Did Duanhua go to the East Palace?"

"how do you know?"

The prince-in-law smiled, "It was reported from the meeting hall that several important ministers of the court were discussing matters with the prince. Before noon, the steward of the East Palace sent someone to say something to the prince. The prince immediately abandoned the courtiers and returned to the East Palace. Later, he returned to the East Palace. When he didn't go back, the courtiers inquired and heard that Duan Hua had gone to the East Palace to find the prince, so that he could go back."

Qingping was surprised, "Is this happening?"

"yes."

Qingping was so surprised, "The prince doesn't look like someone who has abandoned his court affairs."

The prince consort shook his head, "I don't understand. What happened today? Why did Duanhua go to the East Palace?"

Qingping slapped his forehead and said, "It's a big deal."

She quickly told her consort that Su Rong had sent someone to send a large cart of congratulatory gifts and letters, and then said with a smile: "There are hundreds of good things, seven or eight of them are priceless collections, jewelry, ornaments, etc." There is a guqin, which is of the best quality, and this girl Su Rong is really, really willing to give it up."

She sighed after finishing speaking, "I searched through my private treasury, but I couldn't find many matching pieces. I was just thinking about coming back to discuss it with you and go to the emperor to ask for it."

The prince consort was surprised, "So many good things?"

“Yes.” Qingping showed him the list. The prince-in-law took it and looked at it carefully. He was shocked and stood up, "I'll go to the warehouse and have a look."

 “Let’s go, I’ll go with you.” Qingping said immediately.

Just as the consort was about to nod, he paused and asked her, "You haven't had any rest today, aren't you tired?"

“I’ve rested for an hour, don’t worry, I’m not tired.” Qingping shook his head.

The prince consort nodded, "Then let's go!"

So the couple went to Duanhua's private treasury.

After reading them one by one, the consort walked out of Duanhua's private treasury and felt a little worried, "There are so many good things, they are too valuable. Hey, I have my private treasury. I can only pick out a few, but they are not for my daughter's family. It’s for men.”

"That's fine, give it to Zhou Gu." Qingping smiled, "In those years, to be honest, as a cousin, I felt a little sorry for him. Duanhua liked her, but he was unpretentious and even disgusted with Duanhua, so I He also got angry and turned towards his daughter, but he never looked kindly towards him, which is really wrong when you think about it."

"You, an elder, are like a child. I told you many times in those years, but you still fell out with me." The prince-in-law felt helpless when he thought about it.

Qingping scolded him, "How can I not feel bad for my daughter who came back crying and complained? It's not the flesh that fell off your body, so of course you don't feel bad. Zhou Gu is a brat with rough skin and thick flesh. It doesn't hurt even if he curses a few times. Duanhua is more than a year older, so we can't let her go. Even if she doesn't like it, it won't be like hiding from a scourge, Duanhua is easy to coax."

The prince-in-law sighed, "In the beginning, Zhou Gu didn't hide from Duan Hua like a savage beast and talked to her properly, but no matter what he said, she wouldn't listen. She would chase her and run away, so how could she blame him? "

Qing Ping smiled, "That's right. Duan Hua cries every time he comes back. I feel so sorry for it. I even got angry when the prince scolded Duan Hua. But speaking of it, it's also your fault. You didn't coax me all those years. If you say nice things to me, it’s not like I can’t listen to you, but every time you say that I taught my daughter bad things, how can I listen to it?”

The prince consort held her hand and said, "It was my fault. Isn't this still being corrected?"

Qingping glared at him, "She has changed a lot as she got older, but she is not like your daughter. She is smarter than the two of us. She is so good now and gets along well with the prince."

She sighed, “Mr. Son."

The Prince Consort is funny: "Stop praising her, listen carefully so that she can hear you."

Qing Ping smiled and said, “If you hear it, you will hear it.”

They then went to the Prince Consort's private treasury and picked out seven or eight items. Indeed, they were all for men's use and asked the steward to put them away properly.

She finally made up her mind, "I'm going to beg the emperor tomorrow. There must be many men using his private treasury, and I must beg for a few things. After all, in those years, I spent a lot of time with him for Duan Hua." In front of me, give Zhou Gu eye drops."

The prince-in-law did not stop smiling, "Then you should be more careful when entering the palace tomorrow, so as not to make His Majesty unhappy."

"No, I'm going to beg for something. Of course, I'll say whatever you like." Qingping was very experienced. "Speaking of which, I also remembered something. The property that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of De Rui left to Sister Zhenmin. , when the news came that she and her relative Da Wei had died, the emperor's brother asked people to take it away. When Su Rong was in the capital, he didn't give it to Su Rong. I don't know whether he didn't think of it or didn't want to give it to him. I'll ask him tomorrow. If you ask about this matter, try to get Su Rong to come out."
