The princess was reborn with her cub, and the ninth uncle was killed by the cub in anger.

Emperor Yong glanced at her and said, "Let's talk and listen."

What an old fox!

Gu Nanqiao was helpless and could only speak; "When I was in the countryside, I often heard the villagers talking about it, saying that our current emperor is a wise king. Natural disasters reduce taxes, but when he is rich, he will not increase them." This allows them to have enough food and clothing, and enough money to marry a wife. They can even buy new clothes for their grandsons and a bouquet for their little granddaughters during the Chinese New Year..."

"Don't be flattering."

Emperor Yong interrupted her.

But the upward curve of the corners of his mouth did not escape Gu Nanqiao's peripheral vision.

Do not wear flattery.

Don't think that a generation of wise heroes don't need flattery, but this flattery must be done skillfully, so that it can really hit the apex of the heart, not the horse's legs!

Gu Nanqiao shrank his shoulders and said in a weak voice, "Your Majesty, I'm not flattering you, it's the villagers who said it. Seriously, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to the countryside to ask, or you can let someone secretly listen to the villagers. You must be telling me the same thing, and there is absolutely no lie in it.”

"Are you still eavesdropping on the corner?" Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows.

Gu Nanqiao smiled stiffly, waved her hands and said, "No, no, I, no, how could I eavesdrop on the corner of the wall? I am the eldest daughter of the Hou family."

Ah!

Why is it so unbelievable!

Emperor Yong smiled coldly, but he was in a very good mood.

Seeing that it was almost done, Gu Nanqiao brought the topic to the point; "Your Majesty, because I grew up in the countryside, my knowledge is a little shallow. If you are really merciful and want to preserve the reputation of my second sister, you might as well , just follow what we country people do, and tell the public that the second sister accidentally fell into the water, and it was His Highness the Third Prince who saved the second sister."

There was a sea of ​​people watching at that time.

Emperor Yong can certainly shut up those people, but if he wants to save the royal family's face, he must have a reason that can be justified to the outside world.

Heroes save beauty.

This is reason enough.

"Then what?" Emperor Yong asked.

When Gu Nanqiao heard this, his eyelids twitched.

According to the follow-up routine, it should be to use the reputation of a hero to save a beauty and grant a marriage!

But the old fox asked this question, which meant that he did not want Nan Jiaojiao to become the third prince's concubine. As for the reason, Gu Nanqiao could roughly guess it.

That Aunt Zhou.

She knew very well her purpose of going to Nanhou Mansion that day!

After all, while giving a big gift to Mo Ziqian, she also gave a big gift to her 'sister' to thank her for 'giving' her two children.

But the problem is that the old fox threw this question to her and asked her to 'raise' it.So no matter what she said now, in the future, the title of 'concubine' given to her in marriage would be that she, the eldest sister, begged for Nan Jiaojiao.

What a huge scapegoat.

But can she choose?

Obviously there is no choice.

In this case, it's better to take the blame first, and maybe he can improve his favorability in front of this old fox.

But this must be said with skill.

"According to the country people's practice, the two people will get married later. This way, the woman's reputation can be preserved and the man's sense of responsibility can be demonstrated. It is a beautiful story, but..."

Gu Nanqiao paused for a moment, then pretended to sigh and said, "I have seen something similar to this when I was in the countryside. The man was the son of a wealthy local businessman, and the woman was a country girl. They fell into a river and became friends. After the woman married into the man's family, because of There was a huge disparity in status, and her mother-in-law was disliked when she first entered the family, and her aunts and sisters were in trouble, and because she had never been pregnant, the man's condition deteriorated over time... The woman was not as good as a wife as a concubine, and she died in depression."
