First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 338 Love (three shifts)

  Quiet Concubine’s affairs are too dynamic, but within one day, everyone knows that Concubine Jing has been conspired twice in one day.

   "You said...who would do it?"

  In a corner of the palace, a bunch of little palace ladies and little eunuchs gathered together and secretly talked about Concubine Jing.

  "Who else can it be? Just think about the entire palace who would not want Princess Jing to come back?"

   "Could it be the too of Renshou Palace——"

"Shhh! Be quiet! Do you want to be caught and beheaded! Don't say what that person's name is. Don't talk about the name of that person. You can't say it in your heart. You can't dream of it! Otherwise, just wait for you to be beheaded! The court lady **** who died in the hands of that one was not a thousand or even hundreds!"

   "So cruel?"

  The new little palace lady was trembling with fright.

  Actually, not only did the court lady **** think, but even the queen mother's niece Zhuang Guifei thought that the concubine Jing was killed one after another because of her own aunt.

   "Your Majesty, the concubines heard that the concubine has been dealt with again. Does your Majesty have any doubters in his heart?" In the study room of Huaqing Palace, Empress Xiao looked at the emperor deeply.

  The meaning of her connotation is obvious, and it is the Queen Mother Zhuang who did it.

  Unexpectedly, the emperor rejected it all at once: "Don’t guess, it’s not the queen mother."

   Empress Xiao almost seemed to be struck by lightning, staring at the emperor blankly.

  What did your Majesty say?

  Isn’t the queen mother?

  Since when did Your Majesty start to excuse the Queen Mother?

  He can't wait for a thunder in the sky to count as the Queen Mother Zhuang!

   "Your Majesty..." Empress Xiao said.

  The emperor interrupted her: "Okay, don't bother about Concubine Jing's mother. I have my own opinion. You go back to restrain the palace people and let them not chew their tongues."

  Queen Xiao responded incredulously: "...Yes."

Concubine Zhuang went to Renshou Palace with a smile, stepped into the study of Queen Mother Zhuang, and said with a smile: "Auntie! You are so amazing! How did you do it? He taught Concubine Jing the fox again. Drop the handle! I heard that Your Majesty didn’t doubt it at all! There were a few eunuchs in Kunning Palace chewing their tongues, but the aunt guessed what? It was all sent off by the Queen! Aunt, you really are—"

  Quick Concubine Zhuang was halfway talking, she saw the cold eyes of the Queen Mother, like a knife, and she was shocked, "Aunt, aunt!"

  "Are your mouth idle?" Empress Dowager Zhuang said without anger.

Concubine Zhuang was overwhelmed by her aunt's powerful aura. She didn't dare to look directly at the Queen Mother Zhuang, so she hurriedly lowered her head and saluted: "Please peace to my aunt."

   Empress Dowager Zhuang said angrily: "The Ai's family is very busy, don't disturb the Ai's family if you have nothing to do!"

   "Yes!" Concubine Zhuang retreated angrily.

  As soon as she walked on her front foot, Duke Qin came in with tea on her back foot.

  Queen Mother Zhuang looked at the Zhezi in her hand, and asked indifferently: "Did you send someone?"

   "Sent, the carriage under the gate of Bishui Hutong." Qin Gonggong said with a smile.

   "Yeah." Empress Dowager Zhuang replied faintly and continued to read the notes.

  Duke Qin walked over and put the tea on the table, unable to hide his smile.

   "What are you laughing at?" The Queen Mother looked at him weirdly.

  Qin Gong justified: "The slave is happy for the Queen Mother!"

  Queen Mother Zhuang hummed: "What's so happy? Two little things that don't know the height of the sky, the skin is endless!"

  Gu Jiao fled into Renshou Palace wearing the clothes of a little eunuch, how could Queen Mother Zhuang not know what the truth was?

  "The servant's tone is tight." Queen Mother Zhuang ordered.

Qin Gong just said: "The queen mother can rest assured, the servants are all set up properly-today Xiao Chuanzi went to buy, the carriage broke halfway, and happened to Xiao Xiuzhuan, and went back to the palace with Xiao Xiuzhuan, the guard saw it on the carriage of Xiao Xiuzhuan The little **** is Xiaochuanzi."

  Xiao Chuanzi did go out to buy today, but after this stall, before he came back, Qin Gonggong sent a master inside to intercept him.

When Gu Jiao left the palace, she still used the identity of Xiaochuanzi.

  The reason is that something went wrong with the purchased fabric, and Xiaochuanzi went to exchange it.

  At night, the real Xiaochuanzi will return to the palace with the changed cloth.

Qin Gonggong continued: "There are also witnesses. Shiwei Liu from the Imperial Guard and Mother Zhou from Lenggong will see a woman dressed in Tsing Yi and carrying a small back basket haunting nearby. It is assumed that the other party entered through the wall from Lenggong. of."

  These things weren't what Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao asked Queen Mother Zhuang to do, and they went away stubbornly after they had pitted themselves!

   Empress Dowager Zhuang sullen her face and snort: "Huh! Don't be afraid of showing stuffing! Do you really think that what you have made is perfect?"

  Duke Qin couldn’t laugh.

  I like it very much in my heart. I really appreciate that the two newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but they have to pretend to be disgusting.

  Qin Gonggong smiled and said, “Isn’t this because they know that the Queen Mother will treat them? The Queen Mother trusts them, and they also handed over their backs to the Queen Mother!"

"Humph!"

  I don’t know how many times it hummed.

  The trust between people is never spoken out by the mouth, it is a tacit understanding in action, trust in a person’s sincerity, and trust in a person’s abilities.

  That's...it's pretty cool.

  The Queen Mother Zhuang hum.

  Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang returned to Bishui Hutong.

  Tonight, the owner of the orchard invited the theater troupe and built a stage in the orchard. The neighbors in the neighborhood went to listen to the theater, and the Yao family and several children in the family also went.

  The house is empty.

  Although it was dinner, there was a disturbance in the palace, and both of them were a little hungry at the moment.

   "Let's go out to eat." Xiao Liulang said, she can't bear to go to the kitchen at night, besides, it is close to the bustling streets, so it is very convenient to eat anything.

   "Okay." Gu Jiao responded.

  They went to Xuanwu Street.

  Summer nights in the capital are always very lively. Shops are lined up, hawker stalls are like long trees, carriages and horses are slowly passing by in the middle of the street, and the pedestrians on both sides are endless, shoulder to shoulder.

  In the past, Gu Jiao was walking on the outside, she wanted to protect her family, but today she was put inside by Xiao Liulang.

  Xiao Liulang leaned on crutches, and a body with a little more man's strength than last year blocked the crowd in general.

  However, there was a merchandiser carrying a burden, who left the road in the middle and couldn't walk. He had to get in there and almost ran into Gu Jiao.

  Xiao Liulang pulled her arm, and then he didn’t release his hand immediately. He hesitated and slid down and held her hand: "Don’t get lost."

  Gu Jiao was taken aback, and smiled: "Okay."

  Don’t get lost.

  Xiao Liulang was almost dazzled by her smile. He looked forward and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

   "Well, it's okay!" she said, "What do you want to eat?"

  He said: "I can do it too."

  Neither are picky eaters.

  Xiao Liulang looked to the east and said, “There is a new noodle restaurant over there. Would you like to try it? His noodles are delicious.”

   "Have you eaten?" Gu Jiao turned to look at him and asked.

"Yeah." He nodded, "I had it when I was a kid. At that time, their house hadn't opened to such a prosperous area, and they had to go to a very remote suburb to eat. It seems to have been flourishing in the past few years, and several branches have been opened. "

  He will not take the initiative to talk about his former identity, but he will not deliberately avoid it if he is mentioned.

  It’s just that he never admitted who he really is.

  Xuanpinghou’s illegitimate son, Xiao Liulang, is the identity he can now announce to those close to him.

  Not many people know this identity. Gu Jiao, Yao's family and the little monk knew that Gu Yan might have guessed something, but he probably hadn’t guessed Xiao Heng’s step yet.

  As for Gu Jiao, Xiao Liulang did not ask which step she had guessed.

  And Gu Jiao didn’t seem to intend to break the casserole to the end. She respected him and trusted him, regardless of who he was.

   Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips: "Okay, then go eat the noodles!"

  Don't look at this new noodle restaurant, but the upstairs and downstairs are full.

   "Well, are so many people eating noodles so late?" Gu Jiao asked weirdly.

The shop Xiaoer smiled apologetically: "Newly opened, most of them are acquaintances. Moreover, our shop not only has noodles, but also our cold dishes and stewed soups! It’s hot now, and it’s hot to eat in the house. Set a table in the yard for the two of you, cool off!"

  There are also several photos in front of the shop, and at a glance, they look like food stalls from a previous life.

  Gu Jiao felt a little cordial.

  Xiao Liulang glanced at her, and said to Xiao Er: "Okay, you go and put it out."

   "Hey! Two guest officers, please here!" Xiaoer of the shop welcomed them into the noodle shop with smiles on their faces, walked through the lobby, and came to the spacious courtyard.

  The yard is large and quiet, but the view is not obstructed. Sitting here can have a panoramic view of the restaurant.

  There is a feeling of seeing thousands of sails in the world.

  Shop Xiaoer moved tables and benches.

  The two sat on a bench, each ordered a bowl of marinated noodles, and ordered two dishes of cold dishes. The stew was gone, and it would be wasted if they could not finish eating.

  Waiting for the time to make the noodles, Xiao Er from the shop walked up with a smile, and asked: “Two guest officers, our shop has run out of tables, and there are two more guests here. Can you sit down with you?”

  Neither of them have any objection.

The   dian Xiaoer drew people over, and no one expected it would be the prince and the prince.

  The two are private businesses in microservices. They did not bring the maids and eunuchs, and only one master in the house was a coachman.

The prince and princess did not expect to meet Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao here.

  Now when the prince sees Xiao Liulang, he will think of the thick pile of arithmetic problems, and his head hurts instantly!

  The prince had never met Gu Jiao, but was surprised to see Xiao Liulang sitting with a woman.

  I heard that Xiao Liulang became a relative.

  Is this woman Xiao Liulang's wife or the stubborn women he is outside?

  The prince didn’t care. The woman was a man’s vassal. Whether this woman was Xiao Liulang’s wife, the prince would not look at her straight.

  The prince frowned and was a little reluctant to eat here.

  After all, anyone who faces a teacher like Xiao Liulang would not be in the mood to eat, is it okay to be full of questions from him?

  But the prince couldn’t drive Xiao Liulang away. That was too arrogant and inconsistent with the prestige he had established among the people over the years.

  He wants to go.

  The princess suddenly pulled his sleeve and said softly: "Your Highness, there is a seat here."

   "He..." Prince Xin said, don't you recognize who that guy is? Xiao Liulang! Looks like my uncle's son, my father's confidant, and my Hanlin Academy teacher!

  The prince concubine said warmly: "It seems to be written by Xiao Xiu, it's such a coincidence."

   As she said, her eyes fell on Xiao Liulang's handsome and unparalleled face.

  At this time, Xiaoer from the shop will serve two bowls of marinated noodles and brought them up: "Two guest officials, your marinated noodles!"

  Xiao Liulang didn't lift his eyelids, as if the shop Xiaoer's voice was too loud, so he didn't hear the words of the princess.

  The princess was slightly embarrassed.

  The prince thought that she said that to herself, and sighed helplessly: "Yes, it's him, it's a coincidence."

  The princess's eyelashes trembled slightly, she smiled and said: "The capital is so big, and you can meet you even after eating a supper. It is the fate of the prince and Xiao Xiu."

  The voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao to hear.

  None of them ignored her.

  The prince disdainfully said: "Who wants to have fate with him!"

   "I'm hungry." The princess said.

   "Then, then sit down!" The prince reluctantly pulled the prince to sit down opposite the two, and said to the shop, "Take all the delicious dishes here!"

   "Can the prince finish eating?" Xiao Liulang finally paid attention to him, but it was not a good tone.

The prince glanced at the two bowls of marinated noodles in front of the two of them. He thought it was too shabby. He said generously: "I will treat you tonight, Xiao Xiuzhuan will eat whatever you like, don’t be polite to me. If the salary of the Hanlin Academy is not high , Xiao Xiuzan can come to my house to be a staff member."

  Xiao Liulang looked at him faintly: "Forming a party for private purposes is a felony, is the prince sure to do this?"

  It is not uncommon to raise staff and diners in the mansion. The emperor usually opens his eyes and closes his eyes, but if he is raised to the head of the emperor’s student, he will touch the emperor’s bottom line.

  Xiao Liulang said lukewarmly: "I am a disciple of the emperor, I should serve your majesty with all my heart, the prince asked me to go to your house by name, where will my majesty be placed?"

  The prince choked and stopped speaking.

  Just now only teased Xiao Liulang, forgetting that this guy is a scholar of the two rankings, has been summoned by his father, has eaten a Luming banquet, and is a serious student of the emperor.

  Is this digging the corner of Father Emperor?

  What do people think about him as the prince?

  "Ahem, ahem!" The prince said sternly, "The lonely person is only testing you, so you can remember your identity."

   Soon, the cold dishes for the two were also served, a plate of three shreds of cold salad and a plate of marinated lamb.

  Xiao Liulang took a piece of the tenderest mutton and put it in Gu Jiao's bowl.

  The princess looked at Xiao Liulang and then at Gu Jiao.

  This is the first time she has met the two at close range. Xiao Liulang's appearance is constantly overlapping with the childish face in the impression, but it is repeatedly stripped.

  The sunny boy, his eyes were innocent, warm and clear.

  In front of him, Xiao Liulang is a bit more alienated and cold, which is thousands of miles away. His facial features are less childish than that of the past, and a bit more reserved and heroic than a man.

  However, the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Jiao was different, with a gentleness that he hadn't even noticed.

  He once looked at her like this, as if she was the only one in his eyes.

  The princess pinched her veil secretly.

What am I thinking?

Why did    treat him as Ah Heng again?

  This mutton is very appetizing to Gu Jiao, she eats it very fragrantly.

  The prince hadn't planned to take care of her, but Xiao Liulang choked him. He was really embarrassed before he could speak, and he unconsciously set his eyes on Gu Jiao's face.

  I don’t know, but I was shocked when I saw it, what happened to her face—

  "Guest! Your food is here!"

  Dian Xiao Er Jiang’s restaurant is full of signature dishes.

  Although there is a dazzling array of items, but somehow, he always thinks that Xiao Liulang and their plate of lamb is the best!

  Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang almost finished eating, and were about to leave. Gu Jiao suddenly sniffed, "Little Er, what is so fragrant?"

  Dian Xiao Er smiled and said: "It’s the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed in our store. If the guest officer likes it, I will give you a bottle! The new store is open, and you are welcome to come often in the future!"

  "Is this wine?" Gu Jiao asked when she looked at the bottle handed over by Xiaoer.

  Dian Erdao: "It's not a drink! You can't be drunk! The girl's favorite—"

  Gu Jiao took a sip.

  The next second, with a bang, the little head hit the table and became drunk!

   also because of Xiao Liulang's quick eyes and quick hands, he immediately put the back of his hand on her forehead.

  Dian Xiao Ersan said: "The guest officer is really...unworthy of alcohol..."

  The princess said softly: "We have a carriage, let the coachman take you back."

  The prince kept his lips secretly, why do you treat them so well?

  Xiao Liulang expressionlessly said: "No need."

  The prince said: "Look, people still don't appreciate it."

  Xiao Liulang ignored the prince, patted Gu Jiao's little shoulder with his other hand, and whispered in her ear: "Jiaojiao, it's time to go back."

   "Huh?" Gu Jiao stared at her.

   "It's time to go home." He said softly.

  Gu Jiaoteng sits upright and has a small body, her phoenix eyes are wide and round, and her expression is extremely serious: "I'm not drunk!"

   "Yeah." He coaxed her lightly, his lips twitched, "Jiaojiao is not drunk."

  The clean young voice, with a trace of man’s magnetism, went straight to people’s hearts.

  　 is very pampered, Liu Lang.
