Accompany the prince to study

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drinks a cup of goat's milk wine every night, it is said that it is to help sleep.

This is the first thing Gu Qiao learned about His Royal Highness's habits after he became a prince. He also discovered a secret - he didn't taste the wine at all, but the food in the cup was full of milk and mild in nature. , slightly sweet, with the fragrance of Jiufangzhai nectar.After taking a sip, the lips and teeth will be fragrant, and it will never be forgotten.

Gu Qiao's eyes narrowed unconsciously, her feet hanging by the bed, habitually wanted to shake them a few times, but she found that her feet touched the ground as soon as she moved.

These long legs with nowhere to rest must have made His Royal Highness a lot less fun in life.

When the little maid came in to clean up the cups and bowls, Gu Qiao took the opportunity to find out from her what happened to the prince today.

Today is the ninth day of April, No.40, the Empress Dowager fell into a coma for nine whole days.

The imperial doctor in the palace was still at a loss for what to do about it; the folk masters who came to reveal the list and recruited had no good prescription; only the first-line priest of Qingyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, after painstaking calculations, entered the palace overnight and offered a gift to Emperor Qiwu. Policy: Borrow your life with your price!

Widely invite the wives, daughters and family members of dignitaries in Beijing to chant scriptures and pray for the Empress Dowager in the array of flowers in the imperial garden at the solstice on the 49th day of July [-]th.

Emperor Wu was pure and filial, and couldn't bear the empress dowager's lingering sickness. The dead horse was regarded as a living horse doctor, and he responded to the words of a Taoist priest. He made an exception and opened an altar in the palace to pray for God's mercy.

Gu Qiao's grandmother was a first-class married woman, and she was also invited. She brought the whole family except Gu Qiao into the palace early this morning.

This is all Gu Qiao knew when he was trapped in the Duke's mansion.

He managed to get the little maid to talk more about what happened after he ordered his wife to enter the palace. From the blessing ceremony to the prince's return to the palace, there are too many things that could happen in this time gap.

"Pray for the success of the Dharma Conference, and it will end at the third quarter of the unitary hour."

The Dharma meeting must be smooth, no one dares to find the emperor unhappy in this matter, believe it or not, the first-line Taoist priests all recited the Sutra of Increasing Blessings and Longevity to the Empress Dowager with all their heart, one recitation lasted a whole day, From day to night, I bathed and burned incense without a drop of water.

In order to thank the powerful family members for their "help", the emperor specially gave a banquet in the Linde Hall to entertain everyone.

Toasting and toasting, pushing cups and changing cups, this is a feast.Because the emperor was worried about the queen mother, he left the banquet halfway, and the prince presided over it.That's why it happened.

Gu Qiao became absorbed without any trace, and the main event finally came.

Speaking of this matter, after careful investigation, it still has some relationship with the Gu family.To be precise, it was related to Gu Qiao's two cousins, Gu Qiwu and Gu Zhen'er.

Gu Zhen'er is outspoken and has no self-knowledge, she doesn't know anything about the fact that the Gu family has long since faded out of the elite circle.This is actually her first time entering the palace, she is full of joy and anticipation, she thinks that she will be treated preferentially because of her sister's peculiar fate, but no one wants to talk to her, causing her to make a big fuss embarrassed.

The huge psychological gap prompted the daring Gu Zhen'er to take risks and try to talk to the prince directly.

When Gu Qiao heard this, although she was expressionless because she was trying her best to play the role of the prince, her jaw was about to drop in her heart.

It was only the Gu family who were superstitious, believed in that shitty fate, and insisted that Gu Qiwu's future must be promising.

It's hard to say what other people in Beijing think.

At least, His Royal Highness didn't take this kind of rumors seriously before, and even sneered at them. He really thought that he could be forced to marry someone by spreading such rumors?Ridiculous!

Gu Qiao couldn't help bragging about the prince's [-] words in her heart, she is really a wise and independent highness.

From the prince's attitude, it can be seen that when Gu Zhen'er overstepped the rules to talk to her, what kind of embarrassing end she would get.The prince didn't even bother to give her alms with an indifferent look.

As the prince gets older, there will only be more such mad bees and butterflies. Instead of catching one by one, the prince wants to change the rules left by the previous dynasty-if a 14-year-old girl is not married, If you don't discuss marriage, you have to pay taxes, and even hand it over to the official media to force the marriage.

The prince thinks that this is the root of the lady's madness. Since she is destined to marry, it's better to get a big one.

Things have developed to this point, and they are still within the controllable range. At most, they are adding to the rumors in the world that "a woman who is overconfident and a small family, dares to think about the prince, and is severely beaten in the face by the prince to teach her to be a man".

But the bad thing is that this happened after drinking for three rounds, and many people present were drunk, including His Royal Highness' brothers and sisters who were not worried.

The third princess loved to provoke the crown prince since she was a child, and her words were useless: "Brother, maybe we will be a family in the future, isn't it good for you to treat your future sister-in-law like this?"

Everyone saw Gu Zhen'er's ugly appearance, and the third princess was not outspoken, but just wanted to use Gu Zhen'er to humiliate the crown prince.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of thing, in order to show his magnanimity and brotherly respect, no matter how much he scolded the third princess in his heart, the prince could only endure it for the time being.Wait for the face of the royal family to be fully honored on the surface, and then trouble the third princess in private.

But this year's crown prince Wen Daocheng is not an ordinary person, so he couldn't bear it.

Enmity must be reported on the spot.

"What kind of thing are you to talk to Gu? I don't know what it means to be born of a lowly maidservant." Daqi's style of concubine and concubine is very serious.The prince was not wrong. Before the third princess's biological mother became a concubine, she was just a maid and dancer. If it wasn't for her outstanding beauty, she would not have changed as she is today.

Birth is the pain point of the three princesses, they will explode at the first touch, and they will be tried a hundred times.

Just like that, the two siblings had a quarrel in the hall, arguing and ridiculing, so that the officials dared not persuade each other.Later, the scolding war escalated with the actions of the tenth prince, the youngest brother of the third princess and one mother.

I don't know what this little fat man was thinking, he threw away the nanny beside him, and rushed towards the prince with a fruit knife.

The whole scene was chaotic, screaming one after another.When everyone reacted and wanted to stop him, the tenth prince was already unable to do so because of hurting others, so he confiscated all his strength and plunged into the fake pool in the hall.

The pool was just a fake pool built for dancers to perform, and the water depth was less than the waist height of an adult man. Even if the Tenth Prince was a child, with the timely rescue, nothing serious happened.

On the other hand, His Highness the Crown Prince, because he wanted to hold the Tenth Prince but failed, bumped into the corner of the table and passed out on the spot.

Gu Qiao was taken aback when he heard that.He knew that this dynasty was founded not long ago, and that the current emperor is only the second generation. When the previous dynasty was not overthrown, the whole family squatted on Mo Xun Mountain as bandits, and their education level was not high.But he never expected that the third generation of princes and princesses would still retain such, such, such, uh, after deliberating for a while, Gu Qiao managed to find an adjective, "simple and close to the people" family relationship.

If you say curse, you can curse, if you say you can do it, this prince... is a bit wild.

It is far from the rumors of being both civil and military and perfect.

***

The real prince, Wen Daocheng, has now figured out his own situation.

He became Gu Qiao, the eldest son of the county government.When the parents were there, Daqi was famous for his early wisdom. After the parents left, it is said that he was already a child prodigy who hurt Zhongyong.

The county government mansion where Gu Qiao lives, since Xian Guogong unexpectedly left, the head of the house has become an old lady Gu who can't read a single word.The old lady is superstitious and stupid, born in the countryside, with a sharp tongue.Widowed at a young age, there are only two sons in total. The eldest son relied on his solid military exploits to fight for the title of Duke of the Kingdom, but the younger son is... a mess. After arriving in the capital, he still failed.

I heard that when Lord Xian first left, he, the restless second brother, made some farce about wanting to follow his brother, and was ridiculed by the dignitaries in Beijing for a long time.

In order to protect her son, Mrs. Gu closed the door to thank the guests in a fit of anger, and stopped interacting with others.

The eldest son, Gu Qiao, is still young, so he has no way to inherit the title for the time being, and the county government has no one who can stand up, so it gradually declines day by day.

Everyone said that Mrs. Gu was dormant and wanted to wait patiently for her grandson to grow up before doing anything else, but looking at it now...

Wen Daocheng faced Gu Qiao's unlined clothes and thought to himself, this son's life must be too miserable, right?

While still ill, he was pulled up by life.Any servant girl next to his cousin can also call him back and forth.Why, why do you want him to bring footwashing water for Lao Shizi's cousin?

Wen Dao has grown so big, and has never been humiliated like this.Although it was Gu Qiao who they really wanted to humiliate, who made him Gu Qiao now.

Thinking about what happened at today's banquet, Wen Daocheng rolled his eyes. This cousin could not be the one with the "Phoenix Fate". In the past year, someone has been trying to persuade him to marry him as a concubine. Ms. Gu?

Oh, it's really "beautiful and kind".

"What? Are you dumb? Are you talking, right or wrong? You delayed the time so that our lady can tell the old lady to see what good fruit you have!" The maid didn't hide her malice at all.

Gu Zhen'er was wronged in the palace today, and before she returned home, she had already made up her mind to take revenge on Gu Qiao.

Wen Dao Chengyin clenched his hands in his wide sleeves slightly, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said, "I'll take it."

Gu Zhen'er was next door, sitting under the gauze palace lantern that was as bright as day, watching "Gu Qiao" humiliatingly approaching with pride.Her heart was very happy. This cousin, who was praised by everyone since she was a child, is not just at her beck and call.

Cousins ​​looked a little different tonight, though.

Gu Zhen'er couldn't tell what was different, but she couldn't help feeling tense, and even a little afraid of the other party.No, how could she be afraid of a bastard with a mother but not a mother?

"What are you standing there looking at me for?" Gu Zhen'er raised her voice, and said sternly, "Come here soon? Don't think I'm bullying you, and don't even think about going out and complaining to anyone. I'm just cleaning you up. With the crime of overcoming my father and my mother, do you think anyone can help me to wash my feet casually?"

Wen Daocheng held the water steadily, stepped forward step by step, hooked his lips and raised his eyebrows, casting a shadow of slyness and treachery on Gu Qiao's originally gentle and harmless face, he said: "It's not anyone, just do whatever you want. Then it can bear the water I carry."

After finishing speaking, before Gu Zhen'er could react, a pot of hot water was poured over her head, as if there was a piercing sound.

"Ah - Gu Qiao -"

Wen Daocheng looked at Gu Zhen'er, who was screaming and cursing endlessly, and said casually in the courtyard: "It seems that the second lady doesn't have that kind of blessing."

The author has something to say: Little theater, prince: revenge must be reported on the spot!Whoever bears it is a bastard!

Joe:  …

Prince: Of course, except for you, my dear!If you endure, it means that your mind is mature, and it is quite successful!

Well, Gong is really a mad dog, without any pretense.
