Fake concubine, real queen
Chapter 87
Among the twelve guards, except for Xuanzhu Wei, who is only in charge of the royal ceremonial guards and gathers more than half of the sons of nobles in the capital and the second generation ancestors to hang out all day; the other eleven guards actually have real skills, and They all only obey the emperor's orders, such as the snake guards who specialize in investigating secret reports; the Qinglong guards who specialize in hunting down corrupt officials and criminals, and treat them as if the emperor is in person, almost having half the power of an imperial envoy; The head and the tail are invisible, except for the emperor himself, the Qianlong guard that no one else has ever seen——
Qianjiao, although the name sounds very powerful, but in fact the work is not new. The princes and nobles of the past dynasties are indispensable, that is, the shadow guard, or the dark guard, this old businessman.
It's just that although the other shadow guards are also escorting the nobles, the Qianlong guards are only responsible for the safety of the emperor, and their status is naturally much higher than that of ordinary shadow guards. You are a royal relative, and you dare not offend easily. This is the reason for the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.
Brother Chengwei who is next to His Highness the Third Prince, although he never said it himself, but He Gu pondered, in all likelihood, he was from Qianjiao before, otherwise it would not be as if he had disappeared, and he would never see others, right?
The same is true for Yan Chi, although everyone knows that this person is sent by the emperor to watch over He Gu, but the son-in-law and the entire princess manor do not dare to neglect him a bit, but what others don't know is that He Gu works hard. In his previous life, he and Brother Yan had a lifelong friendship, so naturally it is impossible to neglect Yan Chi.
He Gu called Pei Zhaoheng and Yan Chi into the teahouse of the Princess Mansion, and as soon as they sat down, they immediately thought of something, so they ordered the servants to make the best tea in the whole Princess Mansion. Serve the distinguished guests.
Ever since He Gu married the "Eldest Princess", the "Eldest Princess" didn't want the eunuch in charge given by the emperor's father and mother, and all the servants who went out of the palace and entered the princess's mansion to serve her were also simple. , the palace servants also only have two or three kittens, and in such a big princess mansion, the only person in charge is Miss Lan Shu who is next to the "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess". Miss Lan Shu went with her, so naturally she was not spared.
But as we all know, the empress's eyesight in choosing a son-in-law is not bad. The little son-in-law of Princess Qing's mansion is not bad. I heard that the decoration in the mansion is the same as before when the "Eldest Princess" was there, and it has not changed. I even brought the girl Lan Shu who was next to the "Eldest Princess", the helpless younger sister, to the Princess Mansion so that she can be called After losing her sister's support, she can continue to make a living.
Yan Chi had already inquired about these before he arrived, but he came here today and saw it with his own eyes, but he still felt a little surprised. Walking from the front yard to the teahouse, you can walk half a cup of tea, but you didn't see a few servants waiting on the way. It can be seen that the son-in-law really doesn't care much about taking care of the general affairs of the mansion. What's more, he didn't expect that the current steward of the Princess Mansion is a woman with a pretty face who is only about 27 or [-] years old.
I didn't say a few words along the way, but the little son-in-law got acquainted with him quite quickly. He was not like other young people of this age. He smiled naturally, and said: "Yan University...uh, Brother Yan, I came out of the palace. I have worked hard all the way. Let's take a sip of tea and rest first."
Not long after the son-in-law finished speaking, someone outside the hall made tea and brought it up. The girl just took the tea from the servant girl, and brought it to Yan Chi with lowered eyebrows.
Yan Chi saw that she was not an ordinary maid, and he could actually sit and suffer, but for some reason, looking at the girl's silent expression, his heart beat a little faster, and suddenly stood up with a "bass" Come on, with some inarticulate words: "Many... Thank you."
He Gu wanted to introduce Yan Chi to His Highness the Third Highness, but he was thinking about how to open his mouth. He didn't know if it was his illusion. Just now, His Highness the Third Highness looked at him and Big Brother Yan with a very strange look, and he didn't know if he misunderstood him and Yan Chi. Brother, I'm jealous...
... Tsk, I didn't expect that someone like His Highness the Third Highness, who is serious and serious all day long, would be jealous.
Although Master He Xiaohou would not admit it with his mouth, he was very happy and flattered in his heart.
He was absent-minded, so naturally he didn't notice Yan Chi's abnormality.
On the other hand, when Pei Zhaoheng saw Yan Chi's appearance and his expression looking at Lan Shu, his eyes paused on his face, he remained silent and quickly looked away.
The slender fingers that were slightly tight under the sleeves also loosened.
Now Lan Shu has changed her name to Lan Qiao and has become her "sister", but she is still in charge of the princess mansion. In the past, after the "Eldest Princess" passed away, the servants in the mansion called He Gu to dismiss her. Those who were dismissed and sent back to the palace were sent back to the palace, and they walked away a lot, and changed a group of people, so few people recognized her as Lan Shu who was next to the "Eldest Princess" back then, but even if they recognized her , it doesn't matter, sisters, no one can say anything about their looks.
It's just that Lan Shu passed the tea over, watching Yan Chi take a sip without hesitation, Niu drank more than half of the cup, but his throat moved slightly...
The "Eldest Princess" has gone. Although the young master later learned the true identity of His Highness the Third Highness, but now the prince does not live in the princess mansion. Every cent is carefully calculated——
In fact, Lan Shu didn't know that the rewards from the emperor and empress were not generous, and the Lord Hou was not short of money, so what was he trying to save by doing so, but now that Lord Hou was the rightful owner of the princess mansion, she could only listen to Lord Hou.
The cup of silver truffle that I made for Yan Shiwei is indeed good tea, but...to tell the truth, it is left over from last year, and there is only such a cup of it. The taste of old tea is always inferior, but in the past, He Gu I never drink tea, and I really can't find a better one...
I hope the silver truffle doesn't change its taste... It's not right for Guard Yan to drink it...
It's a pity that the sky didn't come true. Although Lan Shu prayed in his heart, the reason why the silver truffle tea is precious is because the taste is the best within a month after the first picking, and the taste will change after that, let alone put it away Almost a year...
Yan Chi looked at the girl in charge looking at him, her beautiful eyes were full of hope, and her heart was already a little drifting, and her mind was naturally not on the tea, but after drinking it in one sip, she was so irritated by the taste that she almost didn't spit it out , but didn't spray it, didn't spray it, didn't swallow it even after coughing, it overflowed from the corner of the mouth, dripping all over the front of the front, it was really embarrassing.
He Gu came back to his senses, was startled when he saw this, and said, "This is... what's wrong?"
Lan Shu secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the handkerchief around his waist to wipe it for Yan Chi, and said, "Oh, it's all mine, isn't this tea... this tea may have been stored for a while, and the taste may not be good. Great, this is how I choked Guard Yan."
Yan Chi coughed and coughed while waving his hands again and again: "Cough...no...cough cough, don't blame the girl, the tea is good...cough cough cough, I didn't pay attention, that's why I choked..."
Pei Zhaoheng picked up the tea that Yan Chi had put on the desk, but didn't even smell it. He only glanced at the color of the tea soup, then frowned slightly, turned to look at Lan Shu, and said, "...it's like this all over the house. Tea?"
Lan Shu felt helpless, but now that Guard Yan is here, she can't say bluntly that the young master is too stingy, Chen Cha is not willing to throw it away, and together with Lan Xiao, the two iron cocks have become fine, insisting that they have not finished drinking Don't buy new ones, don't waste money and so on.
He Gu said: "What's wrong with this tea?"
After finishing speaking, he raised the teacup and looked at it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, didn't it look very transparent, and smelled it again——
It doesn't matter if it doesn't smell, as soon as He Gu smelled it, he immediately smelled a faint sour smell of damp tea. Suddenly, without warning, a nauseating feeling surged from the bottom of his stomach, straight to his chest, and It rushed to the throat, and the taste was too wonderful to describe. Unexpectedly, Lord He Xiaohou lost his hand and dropped the teacup. Holding on to the handle of the bench, he instinctively opened his mouth and retched.
At this moment, everyone startled He Gu, even Yan Chi, who vomited all over his front, was a little puzzled seeing how violently he vomited, and wondered to himself, wasn't he the one who drank the old tea? Spit on?
However, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Lord Hou?"
Pei Zhaoheng walked up to He Gu in two steps, saw that he was still retching, and while stroking his back to make him feel better, he turned his head and said, "Go to the kitchen and ask someone to bring back half a bowl of warm water mixed with honey."
When Lan Shu heard the words, she nodded quickly and ordered the little maid to go.
He Gu didn't know what was wrong with him, he almost vomited the sour water, his head was buzzing, and he was dizzy for a while, and he didn't recover for a long time. During his dizziness, he didn't know who handed him a bowl of warm water , He Gu's stomach was full of discomfort, and he drank it immediately. There seemed to be honey in the water, warm and sweet, and He Gu felt a little better.
When he sat down and recovered, there were only him and the Third Highness watching him in the tea hall.
It seems that the desire to introduce Brother Yan to His Highness the Third Highness was temporarily shattered.
Pei Zhaoheng said, "Is it better?"
He Gu smiled wryly, rubbed his face, and said, "Okay, this smell is too bad, I didn't even realize it, I just smelled it, and I couldn't help but feel like vomiting, it's no wonder Brother Yan gave me a drink down..."
Turning his head to look at the empty teahouse, he said, "Where are the others?"
Pei Zhaoheng said: "His clothes are dirty, I'll ask Aunt Lan to take him to the residence to rest first, you still have two days before leaving, don't worry."
He Gu heard the words, sighed, and said: "Okay... I wanted to introduce it to His Highness."
Since He Gu and Pei Zhaoheng have skin-to-skin relationship, even though it is to avoid people's eyes and ears, and the third highness has his own errands to deal with all day long, it is impossible to come to the princess' mansion all day long, and live with him prostitution and absurdity all day long , but that kind of thing - ear to ear rubbing against each other, love each other, is naturally unspeakable, otherwise how can I say that Ruanrou Township is the most ecstatic and destructive?
And it’s still the gentle hometown of my sweetheart, once there is such intimacy, when getting along, the feeling is very different from the previous stage, when you hold a small hand and your heart beats wildly——
Others may think that sooner or later it will gradually become plain, but He Gu is different, he is even more obscene - from then on, as long as He Xiaohou Ye sees the profile of the Third Highness, no matter that white and slender neck, His knuckle fingers, or his tight thin lips, will remind He Gu that this seemingly gentle, elegant and spotless third prince has deep eyes in the dark night. The hoarse voice when he called him.
Now that they are truly intimate, naturally they will not be cautious when speaking, set up any defensive lines, become more and more open-minded, and say whatever comes to mind in front of Pei Zhaoheng, but now they have completely forgotten that he and Yan Chi are both It's the first time we meet, and we have to introduce him to His Highness the Third Highness in a hurry, so it might seem suspicious.
But when Pei Zhaoheng heard the words, he didn't go into detail why he and Yan Chi met, he just said: "There is no rush, the guards of Yan's clothes are dirty today, they have to go back to change, if there is a destiny, we will meet again someday. "
After a pause, he said again: "...Why are you reluctant to buy a few taels of good tea?"
He Gu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Pei Zhaoheng to ask this suddenly, after a while he came back to his senses, he couldn't help being silent for a while——
There is a reason why Lord He Xiaohou is so stingy that he is reluctant to spend a single penny.
Although Pei Zhaoheng has gained some popularity in the court now, especially those pure ministers who are honest in their work, they have a good impression of this Prince Ke. He Gu is not surprised that His Highness will attract the favor of these people, but The reason why pure ministers are pure ministers is that even if they admire the Third Highness in their hearts, they will never take action and stand in line easily, they will only do what they should, because they know in their hearts that as long as they are loyal to the emperor who is still on the throne , there will be absolutely no mistakes, even if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will not be as beautiful as the close ministers around the new emperor, but not standing in line also means that he will not make mistakes and will not be easily liquidated.
They are all old foxes who have been wise and safe for decades, and they have good calculations. They talk nicely, but they don't really do anything for His Highness. The intricate relationship and entanglement of interests among generals, although they were reported all day long and were impeached by the officials saying that Concubine Wen was arrogant and arrogant, Wen Xiuming's relatives interfered in politics, interfered with the state, etc., Pei Zhaolin, as the prince, also followed He was covered in fishy smells, but if something happened, the Wen family would always be his backer. Wen Xiuming was also his own uncle, and he would really help him, and he would share weal and woe with him. , All damage.
The same is true for the prince and the Chen family.
And His Highness the Third Highness is a true lone ranger, alone and with nothing.
Only Jun father's father-son relationship does not know whether it exists or not, whether it is true or not, and it may disappear silently at any time.
The same is to seize reserves. In his previous life, Pei Zhaoyuan wished to kill all dissidents and eliminate all unstable factors at all costs. He was always calculating when eating and sleeping all day long. He sharpened his head and wanted to grasp everything he could grasp in the palm of his hand.
In his previous life, He Gu was not in the capital or around the prince most of the time in the early years. He also had a half-knowledge of many things, and he never thought about them deeply. , His Royal Highness wants him to go east, he will never go west, and he firmly believes that he never asks why, but only faithfully handles his errands, thinking that this is the way to be a minister——
Because that's what the prince told him.
Facts have proved that in this way, there will only be no bones left.
He Gu knows that His Highness the Third Prince is not unintentional about saving positions, on the contrary, the ambition of his family and country in his heart is not inferior to those students who go to the exam who point out the passionate words in the exam room, he just never talks about it——
But compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Highness is too desperate to fight for the reserve. Even if He Gu Ruo hadn't asked him personally at the beginning, and the Third Highness never lied to him, He Gu would have thought that he was only planning to do it. He is an old scalper who works hard and does his job honestly.
The errands of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment are complicated and trivial, and they are not very flattering. They are not beneficial, let alone lucrative, although He Gu knows that even if there is lucrative, the Third Highness will never touch——
He never claimed credit for himself in front of the emperor. When Wang Muze, the eldest brother of the Wang family, chatted with him, he personally talked to him, saying that the third prince kept a low profile like an invisible person in the court meeting every day.
He Gu looked at the Wu Qing who appeared from time to time in front of the Third Highness, and more and more determined in his heart that it was not because of this entanglement and love. The Third Highness is also the best candidate for the future throne among the three princes. Maybe he Not so much like an emperor, who doesn't know how to buy, win people's hearts, and balance transfers, but for the country and the common people, what he cares about is the life and death of these people, not the so-called "emperor's mind" , so that he plays power all day long and doesn't care about people's livelihood.
He Gu not only admires him from the bottom of his heart, but also loves him from the bottom of his heart.
But at the same time, he was also worried about him.
...However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter, after all, it's not the first time Master He Xiaohou has done it to protect someone.
If no one is protecting him...
Then, let him be his knife.
Pei Zhaoheng didn't know what He Gu was thinking, but saw him staring at him in a daze, his eyes fixed, a pair of bright eyes were dark, but because of distraction, he didn't have much energy, looking silly and cute, he couldn't help but secretly sighed In a tone of voice, he had no choice but to take He Gu, and said: "If you are short of things in your house, you can also ask someone to get them from me. The emperor gave you a lot..."
He Gu came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Ah, no need, there is no shortage or shortage, you should keep it for your highness, you are busy all day until midnight before returning from the yamen, good tea is the most refreshing, your highness drink it by yourself .”
Pei Zhaoheng paused, and said, "Is it because of me that you are so frugal?"
He Gu Wenyan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't want to admit it. He wasn't afraid that His Royal Highness would find out that he was planning to raise government soldiers privately, but he didn't want Pei Zhaoheng to feel that he had suffered a lot for his sake. A good person like His Highness would definitely feel guilty, but He Gu himself knew that this was not the case, the elders were actually not that delicate, they could eat delicacies from mountains and seas, as well as home-cooked dishes, and they wouldn't lose money.
Then he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Your Highness is coming to the mansion today, but what's the matter?"
Pei Zhaoheng paused, and said: "Chenghe Camp, we are about to change generals."
He Gu was taken aback, and said, "What?"
Pei Zhaoheng said: "Today's court meeting, the imperial father has just issued an order, ordering Chu Changhe, the acting general of the Beiying, to leave his post and keep his salary, and return to Beijing immediately. Yang Wenbao will take his place temporarily."
He Gu was taken aback, then froze immediately.
Chu Changhe, everyone knows that he is a loyal royal party, Wen Xiuming's confidant, as for Yang Wen...
This person is still unknown at the moment, and others may not know it, but He Gu knows it well, and he will join the prince's command in the future, no, or... In fact, he may have already voted, but he knew it late in his previous life.
Did the emperor know, and what was he singing about?
Pei Zhaoheng said: "I don't know much about Yang Wenzhi. I only know that he was guarding the camp in Guangyue before. Appreciate being promoted to lieutenant general, these years have been loved by the emperor, and he has been promoted many times, but the Chenghe camp is very important, and there are endless disputes at the court meeting today, but the emperor has made up his mind and passed the decree."
He Gu said: "So it's like this... OK, I know, but it's nothing, I'm in Kunqiong Mountain, hundreds of miles away from Chenghe Camp, there may not even be many flies in that place, don't worry No matter how powerful he is, he can't control me, His Highness doesn't need to worry about me."
Pei Zhaoheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
He Gu said: "What I said to His Highness that day... Has His Highness talked to the Empress?"
Pei Zhaoheng said: "I've been there once, but unfortunately my mother was taking a nap, so I didn't see her. I'll go tomorrow."
He Gu nodded and said: "Okay, after all, only the Empress Empress can speak to move Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for us to talk too much..."
After all, they were not only ministers, but also juniors. The emperor didn't just take pills, he just wanted to eat them... He Gu was not qualified to control them, but he sincerely hoped that the emperor could live a few more years.
For no other reason, the empress treated him so well. If the emperor had gone, the empress would feel sad even though she had some grudges towards His Majesty...
Pei Zhaoheng asked, "When will Zihuan leave?"
He Gu thought for a while, and said: "The day after tomorrow, there are still some things that have not been dealt with. I plan to see my grandfather and grandmother. I don't know if they have calmed down. I have been there a few times before, and they always chased me away, calling I will fend for myself, and I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life alone, so I don’t have to see them again.”
He Gu was joking with nothing to do, talking about family affairs with His Highness the Third Highness, but he was as slow as he, and immediately felt that something was wrong as soon as he spoke, but it was too late to regret it.
Although Pei Zhaoheng didn't speak, the smile on his face obviously faded. After a moment of silence, he said: "The two elders are kind, Zihuan should go see them."
He Gu said anxiously: "Your Highness, please don't think about it too much, I... oh... I really, why am I mentioning this... Grandma, she... She is just talking, it is impossible to really force me to get married , I don't plan to get married either, I just want to meet them, after all I'm leaving too..."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "I know everything, no need to explain."
After finishing the speech, across the tea table, he pulled He Gu's front collar without saying a word, and kissed him hard once, the kiss made Young Master He dizzy, and he let go after a while.He Gu was panting, seeing the picture of the old god of His Highness the Third Highness, blushing and not panting, as if nothing had happened just now, feeling very melancholy.
... This duplicity guy obviously cares a lot.
In the past, He Gu would definitely make a fuss, but he has gotten used to it these days, and after calming down, he said again: "...Before I leave, let me go and see my father again."
Pei Zhaoheng turned to look at him without saying a word, but He Gu could feel that the Third Highness's eyes were complicated.
He paused, and explained: "...I haven't seen him for a long time. His Majesty has ordered him, and he has been locked up in the backyard. I'll go and see before I leave."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "Just go if you think about it."
The two talked for a few more words, and when the time came, they stood up together and prepared to leave.
When he came to the door of the teahouse and was about to leave, Pei Zhaoheng stopped in his tracks. Seeing that he was not moving, He Gu turned his head and wondered, "What's wrong?"
Chengwei Zhengye and his servants are all waiting outside the teahouse.
Pei Zhaoheng looked down at He Gu, and after a while, he said, "I'm about to leave, why are you still calling me Your Highness?"
When He Gu heard the words, he immediately understood what he meant, and his throat instantly choked——
I don't know why, but the Third Highness seems to be very persistent in asking him to call him "Brother Yuqing" and "Brother Heng". — Cough, for that matter, the Third Highness will always force He Gu to speak at the worst moment, and try to force him to submit...
But the bottom line of Lord He Xiaohou's shame is also here, he has already "succumbed" to others for love, if he is still like a girl, his elder brother and younger brother are called Third Highness, that would be too embarrassing.
He Xiaohou would rather die than surrender, even though his eye sockets were red and the corners of his eyes were moist, he still bit his lip and buried his head in the pillow without making a sound.
Even if his lower lip was bitten to the point where it was torn and bloody, he never made a sound.
...It's impossible to call me brother, it's too nasty, and I can't call him in this life.
However, in fact, He Gu wanted to be stubborn on the bed, and he was really stubborn, but Pei Zhaoheng was really stubborn. Although counting the application of medicine, they would only prescribe meat twice the next time after he recovered, but He Gujing couldn't make a fuss, so if Pei Zhaoheng insisted If you try to force him, He Gu probably won't be able to bear it in the end...
Fortunately, if he was a blind cat and a dead mouse, the Third Highness couldn't bear to see him biting his lips like that, so naturally his heart softened. Only then did He Xiaohou escape the catastrophe...
It's just that it's broad daylight today... The two of them didn't do anything, and this person started again.
He Gu coughed dryly, and said in a low voice, "Damn it, I don't call you Your Highness."
After speaking, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and ran away in a hurry, not even sending His Highness the Third Highness out of the mansion——
Pei Zhaoheng looked at He Gu's running back, but didn't say anything, he just called Cheng Wei and prepared to leave the house.
Unexpectedly, on the way to the front door, I met an acquaintance.
Lan Xiao holding a stack of books.
When Lan Xiao saw His Highness King Ke, she thought she was dazzled, and when she realized it, she hurriedly bowed to salute, but the books in her arms couldn't be held firmly, and a few volumes immediately fell down.
The book was dropped on the floor, and Lan Xiao suddenly became one head and two big. She still had the book in her arms. She didn't know whether to continue saluting with His Royal Highness Ke, or put the book on the ground to pick it up. She was at a loss. Very dazed.
Pei Zhaoheng knelt down to pick up a book, put it back into Lan Xiao's arms, and said, "There's no need to be too polite."
Seeing this, Cheng Wei also began to help pick up the book.
Lan Xiao was very moved immediately, and said sincerely: "Thank you, my lord, I really can't spare my hand."
Knowing that she was helping He Gu take care of the family property, Pei Zhaoheng said, "Miss, are you going to the bookstore?"
Lan Xiao said: "That's not true, this servant is going to enter the palace."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "...to enter the palace?"
Lan Xiao coughed dryly, looked around and saw that there was no one around, the little girl who followed her just now called for someone to go, but she hadn't come back yet, and she didn't know where she was right now, so she said in a low voice to His Royal Highness Ke: "...cough, Then what, the prince should also know that in the bookstore of Lord Hou, there are some books that are not very serious. Because of the authentic work of "Mr. Yigu", we sell well. It may be that we have become famous recently, and I don’t know the empress. , where did I know these scripts, and even sent someone to the shop, saying that I want to order a whole set of books!"
Pei Zhaoheng was slightly taken aback this time, and said, "...mother queen?"
Lan Xiao said: "That's right, if it wasn't for the Wu Neiguan who came, I wouldn't believe it was the empress's intention, he came in plain clothes, I recognized it at a glance, since the empress wanted it, how dare we not care about it? I deliberately picked out a whole set of hardcover with flowers and sent it to me. Who knows that the lady saw it, but said that the books were not in order, no, she asked me to come back and get the whole set, and asked for... Uh, in short, it is a book that our bookstore has never had. It was sold out, although it was indeed written by 'Mr. Yi Gu' himself, but the content of this book is a bit taboo, and I don't know how the empress knows that there is such a book..."
For a long time, Lan Xiao never bowed her head to her ears and served others with low eyebrows. Both her temperament and mental outlook were very different from the trembling and silent appearance in Pei Zhaoheng's memory. She seemed to be a different person. She spoke and looked much more lively. , I knew at the first sight that I was having a good time.
Pei Zhaoheng said: "What book does the queen mother want?"
Lan Xiao struggled to open the top two books with his chin, clicked on the thinnest one at the bottom, and said, "This book is about... cough, His Highness will know it after reading it, but it's all The fictitious dynasty is unbelievable, unbelievable, and please don’t blame us for offending, Your Highness. The Lord Hou also considered that this book is taboo, so he didn’t sell it. Otherwise, if you go to Guangyue in the south and Zongshan in the north, you will definitely be able to Best-selling everywhere, no disadvantages!"
"..."
The corner of Pei Zhaoheng's mouth twitched.
Lan Xiao is very good at talking now, and I don't know who I learned it from...
However, when he opened the first page of the thin book, he was stunned. There were a few large characters on the title page——
"I and the General Untie the Battle Robe".
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Lan Xiao hadn't noticed anything yet, and was still chattering, saying: "...the empress and empress are willing to read it, so it can be seen that this book is not so taboo, and Lord Hou still keeps it in the room all day, preventing us from printing and selling it... ..."
Pei Zhaoheng interrupted her and said, "This book...is in Zihuan's room?"
At this moment, Prince Ke, when others see him, they will only think that his expression is indifferent and expressionless, but if Lord He Xiaohou is here, they will definitely be able to see that it is not the case.
Lan Xiao was startled, then came back to her senses, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, I have been in the Hou Ye's room all the time, not at the Hou Ye's, and it is impossible to be elsewhere."
After all, he is the owner of Wensheng Bookstore, even if Mr. Yi Gu writes out the script, it must pass his eyes, otherwise it cannot be printed and sold, right?
Your Royal Highness, isn't this asking nonsense?
Lan Xiao was very puzzled.
Qianjiao, although the name sounds very powerful, but in fact the work is not new. The princes and nobles of the past dynasties are indispensable, that is, the shadow guard, or the dark guard, this old businessman.
It's just that although the other shadow guards are also escorting the nobles, the Qianlong guards are only responsible for the safety of the emperor, and their status is naturally much higher than that of ordinary shadow guards. You are a royal relative, and you dare not offend easily. This is the reason for the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.
Brother Chengwei who is next to His Highness the Third Prince, although he never said it himself, but He Gu pondered, in all likelihood, he was from Qianjiao before, otherwise it would not be as if he had disappeared, and he would never see others, right?
The same is true for Yan Chi, although everyone knows that this person is sent by the emperor to watch over He Gu, but the son-in-law and the entire princess manor do not dare to neglect him a bit, but what others don't know is that He Gu works hard. In his previous life, he and Brother Yan had a lifelong friendship, so naturally it is impossible to neglect Yan Chi.
He Gu called Pei Zhaoheng and Yan Chi into the teahouse of the Princess Mansion, and as soon as they sat down, they immediately thought of something, so they ordered the servants to make the best tea in the whole Princess Mansion. Serve the distinguished guests.
Ever since He Gu married the "Eldest Princess", the "Eldest Princess" didn't want the eunuch in charge given by the emperor's father and mother, and all the servants who went out of the palace and entered the princess's mansion to serve her were also simple. , the palace servants also only have two or three kittens, and in such a big princess mansion, the only person in charge is Miss Lan Shu who is next to the "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess". Miss Lan Shu went with her, so naturally she was not spared.
But as we all know, the empress's eyesight in choosing a son-in-law is not bad. The little son-in-law of Princess Qing's mansion is not bad. I heard that the decoration in the mansion is the same as before when the "Eldest Princess" was there, and it has not changed. I even brought the girl Lan Shu who was next to the "Eldest Princess", the helpless younger sister, to the Princess Mansion so that she can be called After losing her sister's support, she can continue to make a living.
Yan Chi had already inquired about these before he arrived, but he came here today and saw it with his own eyes, but he still felt a little surprised. Walking from the front yard to the teahouse, you can walk half a cup of tea, but you didn't see a few servants waiting on the way. It can be seen that the son-in-law really doesn't care much about taking care of the general affairs of the mansion. What's more, he didn't expect that the current steward of the Princess Mansion is a woman with a pretty face who is only about 27 or [-] years old.
I didn't say a few words along the way, but the little son-in-law got acquainted with him quite quickly. He was not like other young people of this age. He smiled naturally, and said: "Yan University...uh, Brother Yan, I came out of the palace. I have worked hard all the way. Let's take a sip of tea and rest first."
Not long after the son-in-law finished speaking, someone outside the hall made tea and brought it up. The girl just took the tea from the servant girl, and brought it to Yan Chi with lowered eyebrows.
Yan Chi saw that she was not an ordinary maid, and he could actually sit and suffer, but for some reason, looking at the girl's silent expression, his heart beat a little faster, and suddenly stood up with a "bass" Come on, with some inarticulate words: "Many... Thank you."
He Gu wanted to introduce Yan Chi to His Highness the Third Highness, but he was thinking about how to open his mouth. He didn't know if it was his illusion. Just now, His Highness the Third Highness looked at him and Big Brother Yan with a very strange look, and he didn't know if he misunderstood him and Yan Chi. Brother, I'm jealous...
... Tsk, I didn't expect that someone like His Highness the Third Highness, who is serious and serious all day long, would be jealous.
Although Master He Xiaohou would not admit it with his mouth, he was very happy and flattered in his heart.
He was absent-minded, so naturally he didn't notice Yan Chi's abnormality.
On the other hand, when Pei Zhaoheng saw Yan Chi's appearance and his expression looking at Lan Shu, his eyes paused on his face, he remained silent and quickly looked away.
The slender fingers that were slightly tight under the sleeves also loosened.
Now Lan Shu has changed her name to Lan Qiao and has become her "sister", but she is still in charge of the princess mansion. In the past, after the "Eldest Princess" passed away, the servants in the mansion called He Gu to dismiss her. Those who were dismissed and sent back to the palace were sent back to the palace, and they walked away a lot, and changed a group of people, so few people recognized her as Lan Shu who was next to the "Eldest Princess" back then, but even if they recognized her , it doesn't matter, sisters, no one can say anything about their looks.
It's just that Lan Shu passed the tea over, watching Yan Chi take a sip without hesitation, Niu drank more than half of the cup, but his throat moved slightly...
The "Eldest Princess" has gone. Although the young master later learned the true identity of His Highness the Third Highness, but now the prince does not live in the princess mansion. Every cent is carefully calculated——
In fact, Lan Shu didn't know that the rewards from the emperor and empress were not generous, and the Lord Hou was not short of money, so what was he trying to save by doing so, but now that Lord Hou was the rightful owner of the princess mansion, she could only listen to Lord Hou.
The cup of silver truffle that I made for Yan Shiwei is indeed good tea, but...to tell the truth, it is left over from last year, and there is only such a cup of it. The taste of old tea is always inferior, but in the past, He Gu I never drink tea, and I really can't find a better one...
I hope the silver truffle doesn't change its taste... It's not right for Guard Yan to drink it...
It's a pity that the sky didn't come true. Although Lan Shu prayed in his heart, the reason why the silver truffle tea is precious is because the taste is the best within a month after the first picking, and the taste will change after that, let alone put it away Almost a year...
Yan Chi looked at the girl in charge looking at him, her beautiful eyes were full of hope, and her heart was already a little drifting, and her mind was naturally not on the tea, but after drinking it in one sip, she was so irritated by the taste that she almost didn't spit it out , but didn't spray it, didn't spray it, didn't swallow it even after coughing, it overflowed from the corner of the mouth, dripping all over the front of the front, it was really embarrassing.
He Gu came back to his senses, was startled when he saw this, and said, "This is... what's wrong?"
Lan Shu secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly pulled the handkerchief around his waist to wipe it for Yan Chi, and said, "Oh, it's all mine, isn't this tea... this tea may have been stored for a while, and the taste may not be good. Great, this is how I choked Guard Yan."
Yan Chi coughed and coughed while waving his hands again and again: "Cough...no...cough cough, don't blame the girl, the tea is good...cough cough cough, I didn't pay attention, that's why I choked..."
Pei Zhaoheng picked up the tea that Yan Chi had put on the desk, but didn't even smell it. He only glanced at the color of the tea soup, then frowned slightly, turned to look at Lan Shu, and said, "...it's like this all over the house. Tea?"
Lan Shu felt helpless, but now that Guard Yan is here, she can't say bluntly that the young master is too stingy, Chen Cha is not willing to throw it away, and together with Lan Xiao, the two iron cocks have become fine, insisting that they have not finished drinking Don't buy new ones, don't waste money and so on.
He Gu said: "What's wrong with this tea?"
After finishing speaking, he raised the teacup and looked at it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, didn't it look very transparent, and smelled it again——
It doesn't matter if it doesn't smell, as soon as He Gu smelled it, he immediately smelled a faint sour smell of damp tea. Suddenly, without warning, a nauseating feeling surged from the bottom of his stomach, straight to his chest, and It rushed to the throat, and the taste was too wonderful to describe. Unexpectedly, Lord He Xiaohou lost his hand and dropped the teacup. Holding on to the handle of the bench, he instinctively opened his mouth and retched.
At this moment, everyone startled He Gu, even Yan Chi, who vomited all over his front, was a little puzzled seeing how violently he vomited, and wondered to himself, wasn't he the one who drank the old tea? Spit on?
However, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Lord Hou?"
Pei Zhaoheng walked up to He Gu in two steps, saw that he was still retching, and while stroking his back to make him feel better, he turned his head and said, "Go to the kitchen and ask someone to bring back half a bowl of warm water mixed with honey."
When Lan Shu heard the words, she nodded quickly and ordered the little maid to go.
He Gu didn't know what was wrong with him, he almost vomited the sour water, his head was buzzing, and he was dizzy for a while, and he didn't recover for a long time. During his dizziness, he didn't know who handed him a bowl of warm water , He Gu's stomach was full of discomfort, and he drank it immediately. There seemed to be honey in the water, warm and sweet, and He Gu felt a little better.
When he sat down and recovered, there were only him and the Third Highness watching him in the tea hall.
It seems that the desire to introduce Brother Yan to His Highness the Third Highness was temporarily shattered.
Pei Zhaoheng said, "Is it better?"
He Gu smiled wryly, rubbed his face, and said, "Okay, this smell is too bad, I didn't even realize it, I just smelled it, and I couldn't help but feel like vomiting, it's no wonder Brother Yan gave me a drink down..."
Turning his head to look at the empty teahouse, he said, "Where are the others?"
Pei Zhaoheng said: "His clothes are dirty, I'll ask Aunt Lan to take him to the residence to rest first, you still have two days before leaving, don't worry."
He Gu heard the words, sighed, and said: "Okay... I wanted to introduce it to His Highness."
Since He Gu and Pei Zhaoheng have skin-to-skin relationship, even though it is to avoid people's eyes and ears, and the third highness has his own errands to deal with all day long, it is impossible to come to the princess' mansion all day long, and live with him prostitution and absurdity all day long , but that kind of thing - ear to ear rubbing against each other, love each other, is naturally unspeakable, otherwise how can I say that Ruanrou Township is the most ecstatic and destructive?
And it’s still the gentle hometown of my sweetheart, once there is such intimacy, when getting along, the feeling is very different from the previous stage, when you hold a small hand and your heart beats wildly——
Others may think that sooner or later it will gradually become plain, but He Gu is different, he is even more obscene - from then on, as long as He Xiaohou Ye sees the profile of the Third Highness, no matter that white and slender neck, His knuckle fingers, or his tight thin lips, will remind He Gu that this seemingly gentle, elegant and spotless third prince has deep eyes in the dark night. The hoarse voice when he called him.
Now that they are truly intimate, naturally they will not be cautious when speaking, set up any defensive lines, become more and more open-minded, and say whatever comes to mind in front of Pei Zhaoheng, but now they have completely forgotten that he and Yan Chi are both It's the first time we meet, and we have to introduce him to His Highness the Third Highness in a hurry, so it might seem suspicious.
But when Pei Zhaoheng heard the words, he didn't go into detail why he and Yan Chi met, he just said: "There is no rush, the guards of Yan's clothes are dirty today, they have to go back to change, if there is a destiny, we will meet again someday. "
After a pause, he said again: "...Why are you reluctant to buy a few taels of good tea?"
He Gu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Pei Zhaoheng to ask this suddenly, after a while he came back to his senses, he couldn't help being silent for a while——
There is a reason why Lord He Xiaohou is so stingy that he is reluctant to spend a single penny.
Although Pei Zhaoheng has gained some popularity in the court now, especially those pure ministers who are honest in their work, they have a good impression of this Prince Ke. He Gu is not surprised that His Highness will attract the favor of these people, but The reason why pure ministers are pure ministers is that even if they admire the Third Highness in their hearts, they will never take action and stand in line easily, they will only do what they should, because they know in their hearts that as long as they are loyal to the emperor who is still on the throne , there will be absolutely no mistakes, even if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will not be as beautiful as the close ministers around the new emperor, but not standing in line also means that he will not make mistakes and will not be easily liquidated.
They are all old foxes who have been wise and safe for decades, and they have good calculations. They talk nicely, but they don't really do anything for His Highness. The intricate relationship and entanglement of interests among generals, although they were reported all day long and were impeached by the officials saying that Concubine Wen was arrogant and arrogant, Wen Xiuming's relatives interfered in politics, interfered with the state, etc., Pei Zhaolin, as the prince, also followed He was covered in fishy smells, but if something happened, the Wen family would always be his backer. Wen Xiuming was also his own uncle, and he would really help him, and he would share weal and woe with him. , All damage.
The same is true for the prince and the Chen family.
And His Highness the Third Highness is a true lone ranger, alone and with nothing.
Only Jun father's father-son relationship does not know whether it exists or not, whether it is true or not, and it may disappear silently at any time.
The same is to seize reserves. In his previous life, Pei Zhaoyuan wished to kill all dissidents and eliminate all unstable factors at all costs. He was always calculating when eating and sleeping all day long. He sharpened his head and wanted to grasp everything he could grasp in the palm of his hand.
In his previous life, He Gu was not in the capital or around the prince most of the time in the early years. He also had a half-knowledge of many things, and he never thought about them deeply. , His Royal Highness wants him to go east, he will never go west, and he firmly believes that he never asks why, but only faithfully handles his errands, thinking that this is the way to be a minister——
Because that's what the prince told him.
Facts have proved that in this way, there will only be no bones left.
He Gu knows that His Highness the Third Prince is not unintentional about saving positions, on the contrary, the ambition of his family and country in his heart is not inferior to those students who go to the exam who point out the passionate words in the exam room, he just never talks about it——
But compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Highness is too desperate to fight for the reserve. Even if He Gu Ruo hadn't asked him personally at the beginning, and the Third Highness never lied to him, He Gu would have thought that he was only planning to do it. He is an old scalper who works hard and does his job honestly.
The errands of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment are complicated and trivial, and they are not very flattering. They are not beneficial, let alone lucrative, although He Gu knows that even if there is lucrative, the Third Highness will never touch——
He never claimed credit for himself in front of the emperor. When Wang Muze, the eldest brother of the Wang family, chatted with him, he personally talked to him, saying that the third prince kept a low profile like an invisible person in the court meeting every day.
He Gu looked at the Wu Qing who appeared from time to time in front of the Third Highness, and more and more determined in his heart that it was not because of this entanglement and love. The Third Highness is also the best candidate for the future throne among the three princes. Maybe he Not so much like an emperor, who doesn't know how to buy, win people's hearts, and balance transfers, but for the country and the common people, what he cares about is the life and death of these people, not the so-called "emperor's mind" , so that he plays power all day long and doesn't care about people's livelihood.
He Gu not only admires him from the bottom of his heart, but also loves him from the bottom of his heart.
But at the same time, he was also worried about him.
...However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter, after all, it's not the first time Master He Xiaohou has done it to protect someone.
If no one is protecting him...
Then, let him be his knife.
Pei Zhaoheng didn't know what He Gu was thinking, but saw him staring at him in a daze, his eyes fixed, a pair of bright eyes were dark, but because of distraction, he didn't have much energy, looking silly and cute, he couldn't help but secretly sighed In a tone of voice, he had no choice but to take He Gu, and said: "If you are short of things in your house, you can also ask someone to get them from me. The emperor gave you a lot..."
He Gu came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Ah, no need, there is no shortage or shortage, you should keep it for your highness, you are busy all day until midnight before returning from the yamen, good tea is the most refreshing, your highness drink it by yourself .”
Pei Zhaoheng paused, and said, "Is it because of me that you are so frugal?"
He Gu Wenyan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't want to admit it. He wasn't afraid that His Royal Highness would find out that he was planning to raise government soldiers privately, but he didn't want Pei Zhaoheng to feel that he had suffered a lot for his sake. A good person like His Highness would definitely feel guilty, but He Gu himself knew that this was not the case, the elders were actually not that delicate, they could eat delicacies from mountains and seas, as well as home-cooked dishes, and they wouldn't lose money.
Then he hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Your Highness is coming to the mansion today, but what's the matter?"
Pei Zhaoheng paused, and said: "Chenghe Camp, we are about to change generals."
He Gu was taken aback, and said, "What?"
Pei Zhaoheng said: "Today's court meeting, the imperial father has just issued an order, ordering Chu Changhe, the acting general of the Beiying, to leave his post and keep his salary, and return to Beijing immediately. Yang Wenbao will take his place temporarily."
He Gu was taken aback, then froze immediately.
Chu Changhe, everyone knows that he is a loyal royal party, Wen Xiuming's confidant, as for Yang Wen...
This person is still unknown at the moment, and others may not know it, but He Gu knows it well, and he will join the prince's command in the future, no, or... In fact, he may have already voted, but he knew it late in his previous life.
Did the emperor know, and what was he singing about?
Pei Zhaoheng said: "I don't know much about Yang Wenzhi. I only know that he was guarding the camp in Guangyue before. Appreciate being promoted to lieutenant general, these years have been loved by the emperor, and he has been promoted many times, but the Chenghe camp is very important, and there are endless disputes at the court meeting today, but the emperor has made up his mind and passed the decree."
He Gu said: "So it's like this... OK, I know, but it's nothing, I'm in Kunqiong Mountain, hundreds of miles away from Chenghe Camp, there may not even be many flies in that place, don't worry No matter how powerful he is, he can't control me, His Highness doesn't need to worry about me."
Pei Zhaoheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
He Gu said: "What I said to His Highness that day... Has His Highness talked to the Empress?"
Pei Zhaoheng said: "I've been there once, but unfortunately my mother was taking a nap, so I didn't see her. I'll go tomorrow."
He Gu nodded and said: "Okay, after all, only the Empress Empress can speak to move Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for us to talk too much..."
After all, they were not only ministers, but also juniors. The emperor didn't just take pills, he just wanted to eat them... He Gu was not qualified to control them, but he sincerely hoped that the emperor could live a few more years.
For no other reason, the empress treated him so well. If the emperor had gone, the empress would feel sad even though she had some grudges towards His Majesty...
Pei Zhaoheng asked, "When will Zihuan leave?"
He Gu thought for a while, and said: "The day after tomorrow, there are still some things that have not been dealt with. I plan to see my grandfather and grandmother. I don't know if they have calmed down. I have been there a few times before, and they always chased me away, calling I will fend for myself, and I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life alone, so I don’t have to see them again.”
He Gu was joking with nothing to do, talking about family affairs with His Highness the Third Highness, but he was as slow as he, and immediately felt that something was wrong as soon as he spoke, but it was too late to regret it.
Although Pei Zhaoheng didn't speak, the smile on his face obviously faded. After a moment of silence, he said: "The two elders are kind, Zihuan should go see them."
He Gu said anxiously: "Your Highness, please don't think about it too much, I... oh... I really, why am I mentioning this... Grandma, she... She is just talking, it is impossible to really force me to get married , I don't plan to get married either, I just want to meet them, after all I'm leaving too..."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "I know everything, no need to explain."
After finishing the speech, across the tea table, he pulled He Gu's front collar without saying a word, and kissed him hard once, the kiss made Young Master He dizzy, and he let go after a while.He Gu was panting, seeing the picture of the old god of His Highness the Third Highness, blushing and not panting, as if nothing had happened just now, feeling very melancholy.
... This duplicity guy obviously cares a lot.
In the past, He Gu would definitely make a fuss, but he has gotten used to it these days, and after calming down, he said again: "...Before I leave, let me go and see my father again."
Pei Zhaoheng turned to look at him without saying a word, but He Gu could feel that the Third Highness's eyes were complicated.
He paused, and explained: "...I haven't seen him for a long time. His Majesty has ordered him, and he has been locked up in the backyard. I'll go and see before I leave."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "Just go if you think about it."
The two talked for a few more words, and when the time came, they stood up together and prepared to leave.
When he came to the door of the teahouse and was about to leave, Pei Zhaoheng stopped in his tracks. Seeing that he was not moving, He Gu turned his head and wondered, "What's wrong?"
Chengwei Zhengye and his servants are all waiting outside the teahouse.
Pei Zhaoheng looked down at He Gu, and after a while, he said, "I'm about to leave, why are you still calling me Your Highness?"
When He Gu heard the words, he immediately understood what he meant, and his throat instantly choked——
I don't know why, but the Third Highness seems to be very persistent in asking him to call him "Brother Yuqing" and "Brother Heng". — Cough, for that matter, the Third Highness will always force He Gu to speak at the worst moment, and try to force him to submit...
But the bottom line of Lord He Xiaohou's shame is also here, he has already "succumbed" to others for love, if he is still like a girl, his elder brother and younger brother are called Third Highness, that would be too embarrassing.
He Xiaohou would rather die than surrender, even though his eye sockets were red and the corners of his eyes were moist, he still bit his lip and buried his head in the pillow without making a sound.
Even if his lower lip was bitten to the point where it was torn and bloody, he never made a sound.
...It's impossible to call me brother, it's too nasty, and I can't call him in this life.
However, in fact, He Gu wanted to be stubborn on the bed, and he was really stubborn, but Pei Zhaoheng was really stubborn. Although counting the application of medicine, they would only prescribe meat twice the next time after he recovered, but He Gujing couldn't make a fuss, so if Pei Zhaoheng insisted If you try to force him, He Gu probably won't be able to bear it in the end...
Fortunately, if he was a blind cat and a dead mouse, the Third Highness couldn't bear to see him biting his lips like that, so naturally his heart softened. Only then did He Xiaohou escape the catastrophe...
It's just that it's broad daylight today... The two of them didn't do anything, and this person started again.
He Gu coughed dryly, and said in a low voice, "Damn it, I don't call you Your Highness."
After speaking, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and ran away in a hurry, not even sending His Highness the Third Highness out of the mansion——
Pei Zhaoheng looked at He Gu's running back, but didn't say anything, he just called Cheng Wei and prepared to leave the house.
Unexpectedly, on the way to the front door, I met an acquaintance.
Lan Xiao holding a stack of books.
When Lan Xiao saw His Highness King Ke, she thought she was dazzled, and when she realized it, she hurriedly bowed to salute, but the books in her arms couldn't be held firmly, and a few volumes immediately fell down.
The book was dropped on the floor, and Lan Xiao suddenly became one head and two big. She still had the book in her arms. She didn't know whether to continue saluting with His Royal Highness Ke, or put the book on the ground to pick it up. She was at a loss. Very dazed.
Pei Zhaoheng knelt down to pick up a book, put it back into Lan Xiao's arms, and said, "There's no need to be too polite."
Seeing this, Cheng Wei also began to help pick up the book.
Lan Xiao was very moved immediately, and said sincerely: "Thank you, my lord, I really can't spare my hand."
Knowing that she was helping He Gu take care of the family property, Pei Zhaoheng said, "Miss, are you going to the bookstore?"
Lan Xiao said: "That's not true, this servant is going to enter the palace."
Pei Zhaoheng said: "...to enter the palace?"
Lan Xiao coughed dryly, looked around and saw that there was no one around, the little girl who followed her just now called for someone to go, but she hadn't come back yet, and she didn't know where she was right now, so she said in a low voice to His Royal Highness Ke: "...cough, Then what, the prince should also know that in the bookstore of Lord Hou, there are some books that are not very serious. Because of the authentic work of "Mr. Yigu", we sell well. It may be that we have become famous recently, and I don’t know the empress. , where did I know these scripts, and even sent someone to the shop, saying that I want to order a whole set of books!"
Pei Zhaoheng was slightly taken aback this time, and said, "...mother queen?"
Lan Xiao said: "That's right, if it wasn't for the Wu Neiguan who came, I wouldn't believe it was the empress's intention, he came in plain clothes, I recognized it at a glance, since the empress wanted it, how dare we not care about it? I deliberately picked out a whole set of hardcover with flowers and sent it to me. Who knows that the lady saw it, but said that the books were not in order, no, she asked me to come back and get the whole set, and asked for... Uh, in short, it is a book that our bookstore has never had. It was sold out, although it was indeed written by 'Mr. Yi Gu' himself, but the content of this book is a bit taboo, and I don't know how the empress knows that there is such a book..."
For a long time, Lan Xiao never bowed her head to her ears and served others with low eyebrows. Both her temperament and mental outlook were very different from the trembling and silent appearance in Pei Zhaoheng's memory. She seemed to be a different person. She spoke and looked much more lively. , I knew at the first sight that I was having a good time.
Pei Zhaoheng said: "What book does the queen mother want?"
Lan Xiao struggled to open the top two books with his chin, clicked on the thinnest one at the bottom, and said, "This book is about... cough, His Highness will know it after reading it, but it's all The fictitious dynasty is unbelievable, unbelievable, and please don’t blame us for offending, Your Highness. The Lord Hou also considered that this book is taboo, so he didn’t sell it. Otherwise, if you go to Guangyue in the south and Zongshan in the north, you will definitely be able to Best-selling everywhere, no disadvantages!"
"..."
The corner of Pei Zhaoheng's mouth twitched.
Lan Xiao is very good at talking now, and I don't know who I learned it from...
However, when he opened the first page of the thin book, he was stunned. There were a few large characters on the title page——
"I and the General Untie the Battle Robe".
Pei Zhaoheng: "..."
Lan Xiao hadn't noticed anything yet, and was still chattering, saying: "...the empress and empress are willing to read it, so it can be seen that this book is not so taboo, and Lord Hou still keeps it in the room all day, preventing us from printing and selling it... ..."
Pei Zhaoheng interrupted her and said, "This book...is in Zihuan's room?"
At this moment, Prince Ke, when others see him, they will only think that his expression is indifferent and expressionless, but if Lord He Xiaohou is here, they will definitely be able to see that it is not the case.
Lan Xiao was startled, then came back to her senses, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, I have been in the Hou Ye's room all the time, not at the Hou Ye's, and it is impossible to be elsewhere."
After all, he is the owner of Wensheng Bookstore, even if Mr. Yi Gu writes out the script, it must pass his eyes, otherwise it cannot be printed and sold, right?
Your Royal Highness, isn't this asking nonsense?
Lan Xiao was very puzzled.
