First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 391 Life Experience (one more)

After returning to Bishui Hutong, Gu Jiao found a vase and raised the begonia flowers on her windowsill.

  Begonia flower has no special smell, but the aftertaste of his fingertips remains, and she feels fragrant when she smells it.

When Xiao Liulang came to the entrance of the East House, he saw Gu Jiao lying on the windowsill and admiring the Begonia, which was not as amazing as hers. She put her cheeks in her hands and looked very seriously, as if she was looking at a rare baby that she had never seen before. .

  A Begonia, do you like it so much?

  There are also crabapple trees at home, but the flowering period has passed.

  Somewhere in the bottom of my heart was soft and seemed to be poked again, Xiao Liulang tapped on the door with his fingertips, his voice was a little dull: "I'll go to Grandpa's house."

  Gu Jiao turned her head, the girl’s face was soaked in the warm twilight, and the corners of her lips curled slightly at him: "Okay, I'll call you for dinner."

"Ok."

  Xiao Liulang responded vaguely, and turned around quickly, as if something was chasing behind him.

  Gu Jiao couldn't smile.

  She took out the small notebook and wrote seriously-Xianggong gave flowers for the first time.

   paused, then wrote, "Go to the next door and say hello to her, I'm really clingy.

  Out of the yard, Xiao Liulang was also panicked. The two had already been connected. Going to the next door was almost the same as going to the study. Why did you go to the study by yourself and explain to her?

  She didn't explain to herself.

  Xiao Liulang went to Laojie Restaurant to help him correct the papers of the Imperial College.

  The two of them worked hard, and Gu Jiao also came over and knocked on the door of the room.

   "Jiaojiao is here?" Old Jijiu smiled with joy.

   "Grandpa Gu." Gu Jiao said hello, glanced at Xiao Liulang, and said to Lao Jijiu, "I will take Xiaojingkong to the orchard."

   "Ah... go." Old Jijiu was puzzled. There is no need to talk about this kind of thing specifically, I didn't say it before.

  Gu Jiao looked at someone with a smile, with the back of her small hand behind her, and walked away in a particularly proud manner.

  Lao Jijiu's eyes turned to Xiao Liulang.

  Xiao Liulang changed the paper seriously: "What do I do?"

There is something wrong with   .

  There is something wrong with the two young people!

  The old sacrificial wine is coming back. The little girl is not explaining to him, but to Xiao Liulang.

  Is the relationship so good all of a sudden? Shouldn't they...

  No, the Shougongsha on his face is still there and there is no round room.

  Actually, several of their elders have discussed this matter in private. The daughters of the big family are married at the age of 16 or 17, and they start to become pregnant at the age of 18 or 19. At that time, the risk of childbirth will be greatly reduced.

  Jiaojiao is still young, so it’s okay to complete her room later.

  Old Jijiu looked at Xiao Liulang meaningfully: "You kid..."

  Xiao Liulang said sternly: "No, no, I can bear it."

  Old Jijiu: Oh, man’s mouth, deceitful ghost!

  The next day, Gu Jiao took Xiao Liulang to the Imperial Palace and went to the palace.

  Gu Jiao went to see her aunt.

  Recently, the border military situation is in a hurry. Queen Mother Zhuang and the emperor are discussing war with the military ministers in the side hall of the Jinluan Temple, and they have not returned to the Renshou Palace.

   "Miss Gu, the sun is big today. Don't be basking outside, go to the Queen Mother's bedroom for a while." Jade said to Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao liked this clever little palace lady very much, and nodded to her: "Okay."

  Gu Jiao went to her aunt’s bedroom. Jade offered her favorite melon and fruit snack. Gu Jiao ate the cantaloupe at will, but accidentally spilled the juice on her body.

  Slimy, strangely uncomfortable.

   "Oh, it's soiled, the slave will help you find a change of clothes."

   "No need, I brought clothes."

  Originally, she was going to the underground martial arts field today, with her mask and men's clothing in the small back basket.

  She put on her menswear, her hair spread out, and she tied a tall single updo.

  Jade took her clothes down to wash and dry.

  Gu Jiao had nothing to do in the bedroom, and she admired the treasures in the Duobao Pavilion. The things in Renshou Palace were all antiques, and they were invaluable. Gu Jiao didn’t understand antiques, but it did not prevent her from appreciating the taste of money.

  Among a bunch of treasures, she was unexpectedly attracted by a square brocade box, probably because it is the least antique among all treasures.

  Gu Jiao looked at it curiously. She didn't have the habit of flipping people and things, but she didn't expect the box to pop open with a single touch.

  The things in the box quickly attracted her attention. They were a pair of brand-new tiger-toed shoes. They were very delicate and beautiful. At first glance, no one wore them, but the fabrics and patterns did not seem to be fashionable this year.

"it's wired."

  Is it for the baby in Yao's stomach?

   "Miss Gu, the clothes are dried and they can be dried in the afternoon." Jade walked in and saw Gu Jiao staring at the box on the Duobao Pavilion. She stopped and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

   "What's wrong?" Gu Jiao noticed her strangeness.

"Ah, no, it's nothing." She said so, but she couldn't help but glanced at the box in front of Gu Jiao. In the end, under Gu Jiao's incomprehensible gaze, she was defeated and whispered, "We usually Everyone who cleans Duobaoge will pay special attention to this box. Duke Qin said that he is not allowed to touch it, let alone look at it. However, it should be okay for the queen mother to take care of the girl if she looks at it."

  There is nothing precious in the box, the precious thing is the pair of shoes inside.

  Gu Jiao asked, "Is the box always here?"

   "Well, it was there when the slave came to Renshou Palace." Jade thought for a while, and added, "The slave entered the Renshou Palace three years ago."

  Three years ago, my aunt hadn't come to their home. I didn't know the Yao family, let alone expected Yao family to be pregnant with a child.

  So these shoes are not for the kid in Yao's stomach.

  The military situation at the border crossing was probably more urgent than expected. She didn't see her aunt until noon, so Gu Jiao decided to come again next time.

  She went to the underground martial arts field.

  She went to see if King Ning had come to her. She did not rush to agree to his proposal, but it did not prevent her from cutting his leeks.

  One stick of incense and fifty taels.

  Lao He is also a talented person. I don’t see the possibility of this business, and he directly marked the price-50 taels of male dominance, let’s chat with you.

   is kind of rhyming.

  But her fame is not that big, and fifty taels of pure chatting is nothing short of a sky-high price. Is it not fragrant to go to the brothel with such spare money to find an oiran?

  So probably no one will take the bait except King Ning.

  However, Gu Jiao was wrong. There are still a lot of fatty fish in this big fish pond in Beijing.

   "A young man surnamed Xiao wants to see you." Lao He said.

  "Did you tell him the price?" Gu Jiao wrote.

"Of course I told. He frowned, as if he felt a little worthless, but he didn't say anything. The money was paid to me." Old He said, took a fifty-two tael banknote and handed it to Gu Jiao. .

  "Next time I find him, it will cost sixty." Gu Jiao collected the bank note, and then wrote, "Twelve taels count for you."

  Don’t let Lao He be the middleman for nothing.

  Lao He's eyes were full of green light, and he nodded like garlic: "Huh! Okay!"

  Gu Jiao has played five games. Without losing a single game, she will be promoted to the next level by winning five games.

  Today is still three games, one of which is against a more powerful character than Daoshanke. The opponent is a swordsman, and only this last victory can be promoted to the third level.

  Unfortunately, I met Gu Jiao.

  However, his kung fu is really good, forcing Gu Jiao to use a weapon-the red spear.

  Her red-winged gun was hit by a small clearance, a big red flower was stuck in the tip of the gun, and the body of the gun was also painted with red flowers, especially hot eyes.

  As soon as such an ugly weapon came out, everyone's eyes were flashed blind.

  I don’t know if the swordsman was also blinded by the flash, and he was startled on the spot, and then Gu Jiao shot him, pierced directly into his waistband, lifted him up and threw him off the stage.

  The swordsman sat on the ground with a dazed expression...

  He was poked by something?

  Gu Jiao went to see the Young Master Xiao after finishing the fight.

  The other party's style, Wang Zu, Bining, was separated by a screen in the room, and he was sitting behind the screen and talking to Gu Jiao.

  It's a pity, Gu Jiao heard his voice as soon as she spoke.

  Who is he if he is not Prince Donggong?

  She and Xiao Liulang once met the prince and the prince when they went to Zhou Ji to eat. The impression is not good or bad. After all, they are not the people who care about them. Good or bad has nothing to do with them.

  However, he used the surname Xiao today to remind Prince Gu Jiao’s mother that Empress Xiao is Xuan Pinghou’s biological sister.

  In other words, this guy is Xiao Liulang's cousin.

  "The young hero is good in martial arts, young and promising. I really admire this young man, and I don't know where the young hero is born." The prince behind the screen asked indifferently.

   said words of appreciation, but his tone was a little high.

  This prince used his status as a prince to work in private affairs. He paid great attention to his image in front of the common people, and he did not put on airs easily, but now that he has hidden his identity, he does not need to hide his true temperament.

  Gu Jiao twitched the corners of her lips faintly, took out the charcoal pencil, wrote a sentence in a small notebook, and handed it over to the Prince's men.

  The prince had heard that this male tyrant is a dumb man.

  He wrote for so long, the prince thought he wrote a lot of flattering words, but there are only two words—you guessed it.

  Prince: "..."

After   , the prince exchanged a few words with Gu Jiao, which was a soulless flattery. Gu Jiao's reply was basically "um", "right", "okay"... just not more than two words.

The prince    was fascinated.

  How slow is your kid writing? If this continues, the time for a stick of incense is gone!

  Also, this attitude is too perfunctory!

  "Can you not always have two words?" The prince suppressed his anger and said.

  Gu Jiao thought for a while and wrote: "Yes, yes."

  Three characters.

  The prince again: "..."

  The prince reminded himself that Lin Lang had asked him to come. He promised that Lin Lang could not get angry at the other party, and had a good conversation with him.

  It's really depressing to say that, his dignified prince actually wants to whisper to a quack!

   Forget it, in order to let Lin Lang go to Yan Country to see Mr. Meng, he bears it!

   The prince settled down and looked at the screen and said: "Close to the subject, this young man called you over this time, in fact, for..."

Snapped!

  After he finished speaking, Gu Jiao closed the small notebook in her hand, stood up and pointed to the incense that she lit up as soon as she came in.

time up.

   Prince: "......!!!"

  The prince gritted his teeth: "My son, add money!"

  Gu Jiao waved her hand without looking back, and threw out a note-next appointment.

  The prince was so angry that he vomited blood——

  Did Gu Jiao deliberately embarrass the prince?

of course.

  She didn't forget the prince's disdain for Xiao Liulang when she was eating in Zhou Ji last time, and bullied her mate, ha ha.

  Gu Jiao found Lao He and wrote in the small book: “Next time this person with the surname Xiao comes over, the reserve price will be one hundred taels, including your ten taels, one hundred and ten taels."

  Lao He was dumbfounded, thinking that you consider yourself the oiran of Xianleju? Such a wild price!

   "Why, why?" he asked.

  Gu Jiao ticked the corner of her lips and wrote: "Family price."

  Lao He: "..."

  It was still early, and the Hanlin Academy didn't lose value so quickly, so Gu Jiao went back to Bishui Hutong and changed her clothes.

  Just as he was going out to pick up Xiao Liulang, Duke Qin came.

  Duke Qin came to see Gu Jiao. He smiled and said: “The queen mother came back from the Jinluan Temple and learned that Miss Gu went to Renshou Palace and waited all morning. Why didn’t you send someone to report to the Queen Mother?”

  Gu Jiao said: "It's okay, my aunt is busy, it's the same when I see her next time."

   Not being pampered and arrogant, and always able to hold his feet. This is what Duke Qin admires. It is difficult for Concubine Zhuang and the little masters of the banker to do this.

  Duke Qin handed the food box in his hand to Gu Jiao. There were two in total: “In this food box is iced melons and fruits, and in this food box are desserts from the imperial dining room. The queen mother asked the slave to bring it to Miss Gu.”

   "It's time for Duke Qin to work." Gu Jiao reached out and took the food box, "Sit in the house of Qin Gong, drink a cup of tea before leaving."

  The weather is strangely hot, and Duke Qin is indeed thirsty.

  He entered the hall with Gu Jiao.

  Gu Jiao poured him a cup of herbal tea.

   "Thank you, girl Gu." Duke Qin took it with both hands and drank gulpedly. He put down the tea bowl and said to Gu Jiao and Yan Yue, "The slave is gone, and I have to go back to the Queen Mother."

   "I will send my father-in-law."

"no, I'm fine."

  Gu Jiao still insisted on sending people to the door.

  Qin Gonggong turned to the carriage, and she suddenly stopped him: "Qin Gonggong."

  Duke Qin turned around and said, "Do you have any orders for Miss Gu?"

  Gu Jiao said, "I have something to ask."

  Qin Gong justified: “Girl Gu, but it’s okay to say, and the slave must know that everything is endless.”

  Gu Jiao gestured, and said, “What’s the matter with the tiger-toed shoes in that square box on Duobao Pavilion?”

  Duke Qin's smile froze.

   "It's okay, father-in-law, let's get in the car." She just asked curiously, if she couldn't tell, she wouldn't force it.

   "...the shoes of the little master." Qin Gonggong said in a low voice.

  There are only two little masters Gu Jiao can think of: "Princess Ning'an or Your Majesty?"

  Qin Gonggong sighed and said, “Neither, it’s the birth and flesh of the Queen Mother, but it’s a pity that she died when she was born.”

   "Auntie...have children?" Gu Jiao never heard of this matter.

Qin Gonggong nodded melancholy: "It's a pity that he was born a stillborn child. There is no genealogy and no place in the ranking of the emperor heirs. If the little master survives, he will now be as old as your majesty. The birth of the little master and your majesty. Only three days left."

  Gu Jiao was silent.

Duke Qin opened the chattering box, and for a while, he couldn't help it: "In fact, if it hadn't happened, your Majesty might not have been brought up under the name of Princess Jing. At that time, the queen was being favored, and the first emperor was actually I want to wait for your majesty to be brought up by the queen after he is born."

  Gu Jiao was puzzled: "At that time, my aunt was also pregnant, right? Since my aunt has her own child, why should she raise one?"

  Qin Gong just said: “The imperial doctor said that the palace maid’s belly is the prince, and the queen mother’s belly is uncertain. The first emperor thought that if the queen mother gave birth to a princess, then it would be good to give her a prince.”

  I've only heard of people who can count the pulses, but I haven't heard of men and women. The people in the palace are also very hard to survive.

  "What happened later?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Later..." Gong Gong Qin smiled bitterly, "Later, the queen had an attack first and gave birth to a stillbirth. The stillbirth was an ominous omen in the royal family, and was provoked by a villain. Your Majesty Longyan was furious and angered the queen. Three days later, the lady of the court was angry. Sure enough, he gave birth to the prince, but his majesty did not send the prince to Kunning Palace as scheduled, but gave the prince to the quiet concubine of the Millennium Palace."

   Auntie had deeply expected the birth of that child, right? But I didn't expect that when he was born, he would be separated forever.

  What Duke Qin didn’t say was that the queen was still young at the time, but a little girl of seventeen or eighteen. She hadn’t despaired of this deep palace yet, she yearned for her first child.

  When she was born with a cold stillbirth, her whole body collapsed, and she cried heartbreakingly while holding the baby.

  The cries of Kunning Palace lasted all night, she cried all her life's tears, and also cried her vivid heart to death.

   "How is it so coincidental that my aunt gave birth to a stillbirth, and the maid on the other side gave birth to the prince. It was only three days apart. Has anyone doubted anything?"

"Ms. Gu wants to say that the queen mother was caught by whose plot? It's unclear." Duke Qin wiped away old tears. "When the queen first entered the palace, she was very simple and didn't watch out so much. When she finally understood that There was no clue when I went to watch out."

  Who is born so strong?

   is just being forced to pick up the sword and make a **** road in the harem.

  Gu Jiao felt very uncomfortable in her heart. This kind of complicated emotions didn’t need to be understood, but automatically exploded in her heart: "That dead child...could it be your majesty today?"

  After all, only three days have passed.

  Duke Qin shook his head: "That's a baby girl."
