Chapter 338

Princess Jing's business is too quiet, but in one day, the whole palace knows that Princess Jing has been schemed twice a day.

"You said... Who could have done it?"

In a corner of the palace, a group of young maids and eunuchs gathered together and secretly discussed the affairs of Princess Jing.

"Who else? Just think about the whole palace. Who doesn't want Princess Jing to come back? "

"Is it the queen of Renshou palace?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! You want to be arrested and beheaded! That one's address you say don't say, dead rotten in the heart, dream also don't say! Otherwise, you'll be beheaded! The eunuch who died in the hands of that one is not a thousand or several hundred! "

"So cruel?"

The new maid in waiting shivered.

In fact, not only the eunuchs in the palace think so, but also empress dowager Zhuang's own niece, concubine Zhuang, think that concubine Jing was killed one after another by her aunt.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the imperial concubine had been schemed again. Does your majesty have a suspect in mind?" In the study of Huaqing Palace, empress Xiao looked at the emperor with a deep look.

The meaning of her connotation is very obvious, which is the work of Empress Dowager Zhuang.

However, unexpectedly, the emperor rejected: "don't guess, it's not the Empress Dowager."

Empress Xiao looked at the emperor as if she had been struck by thunder.

What did your majesty say?

Didn't the Empress Dowager do it?

When did your majesty begin to speak for the Empress Dowager?

He would like to have a thunder in the sky on empress dowager Zhuang!

"Your Majesty..." said empress Xiao.

The emperor interrupted her: "well, don't worry about the affairs of Jing Mu Fei. I have my own opinions. You go back and restrain the palace people, so that they don't chew their tongues. "

"Yes," she replied

Princess Zhuang went to Renshou palace with a smile and stepped into empress Zhuang's study. As she walked, she said with a smile: "aunt! You're awesome! How did you do it? I've taught the fox spirit of Princess Jing again, but I don't know what to do! I heard your majesty didn't suspect you at all! There are several eunuchs in Kunning palace talking about things. As a result, my aunt guessed what happened? It's all about the queen! Auntie, you are really -- "

In the middle of the conversation, Zhuang Guifei saw empress dowager Zhuang's cold eyes. She said, "aunt, aunt!"

"Is your mouth idle?" Empress Dowager Zhuang was not angry, but she said.

Concubine Zhuang was overwhelmed by her aunt's powerful aura. She did not dare to look directly at the Empress Dowager Zhuang. She quickly lowered her head and saluted: "please send my regards to my aunt."

Empress Dowager Zhuang said angrily, "the AI family is very busy. Don't disturb the AI family if you have nothing to do."

"Yes Concubine Zhuang stepped down bitterly.

As soon as she left, Duke Qin came in with tea.

Looking at the fold in her hand, Empress Dowager Zhuang asked, "have you sent the people to me?"

"It's delivered to the carriage at the gate of Bishui Hutong." Qin Gonggong said with a smile.

"Well." Empress Dowager Zhuang answered faintly and continued to look at the fold.

Duke Qin went over and put the tea on the table. He couldn't hide his smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at him strangely.

Duke Qin said: "I'm happy for the Empress Dowager!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang snorted: "what's so happy about it? Two little things who don't know the height of heaven and earth. They are so skinny! "

Gu Jiao fled into Renshou palace in the clothes of a little eunuch. How could empress dowager Zhuang not know the truth?

"My servant's mouth is tight." Empress Dowager Zhuang ordered.

The Duke of Qin said: "don't worry, the Empress Dowager. All the servants are in order. Today, xiaochuanzi went shopping. On the way, his carriage broke down. He ran into Xiao Xiuzhuan and went back to the palace with him. The bodyguard saw xiaochuanzi on Xiao Xiuzhuan's carriage."

Xiaochuanzi did go out shopping today, but after the incident, before he came back, Duke Qin sent an expert to stop him.

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

Inside, there was something wrong with the cloth, and xiaochuanzi went to exchange it.

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

Qin Gonggong then said: "there are also eyewitnesses. Liu Shiwei in the Imperial Guard and mother Zhou in Lenggong will see a woman in green clothes and carrying a small basket around. It is speculated that the other party entered from Lenggong stronger and stronger."

Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao didn't ask empress dowager Zhuang to do these things. They left when they were finished!

Empress Dowager Zhuang had a straight face and snorted: "hum! I'm not afraid to show you! Do you really think you're perfect? "

Duke Qin couldn't laugh.

I like it very much in my heart. I appreciate the two children. They are not afraid of tigers, but I have to pretend how much I dislike them.

Duke Qin said with a smile: "it's not because they know that the Empress Dowager will take care of them? The Empress Dowager trusted them, and they also gave their backs to the Empress Dowager! "

"Hum!"

I don't know how many times.

The trust between people is never expressed by mouth, it is tacit understanding in action, it is trusting a person's sincerity, also trusting a person's ability.

It's just... It's cool.

Empress Dowager Zhuang hummed.

Gu Jiao and Xiao LIULANG return to Bishui Hutong.

Tonight, the owner of the orchard invited a troupe to set up a stage in the orchard. All the neighbors went to the theater. Yao and some of his children also went.

The house is empty.

Although they had dinner, they made a scene in the palace. Now they were hungry.

"Go out and eat." Xiao LIULANG said that she couldn't bear to cook again in the evening. Besides, it's close to the busy street, so it's convenient to eat anything.

"Good." Gu Jiao should go down.

They went to Xuanwu Street.

On summer nights, the capital is always very busy, with shops lined up, vendors' stalls lined up, carriages and horses passing by from time to time in the middle of the street, and pedestrians streaming on both sides.

In the past, Gu Jiao was on the outside. She wanted to protect her husband, but today she was put on the inside by Xiao LIULANG.

Xiao LIULANG, leaning on crutches, has a little more male strength than last year to block the flood of people for her.

However, there was a freight man who was carrying a heavy load and didn't walk in the middle of the road. He had to stick in and almost ran into Gu Jiao.

Xiao LIULANG took her arm. He didn't release his hand immediately. He hesitated to slide down and took her hand: "don't get lost."

Gu Jiao Leng Leng, smile: "good."

Don't get lost.

Xiao LIULANG was almost dazzled by her smile. He looked forward and asked, "what would you like to eat?"

"Well, all right!" She said, "what would you like to eat?"

He said, "I can do either."

Neither of them is a picky eater.

Xiao LIULANG looked to the East and said, "there's a new noodle shop over there. Would you like to try it? His stewed noodles are delicious. "

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

"Well." He nodded, "I ate it when I was a child. At that time, their family didn't drive to such a prosperous area. They had to go to a very remote suburb to eat it. In recent years, he seems to have made a fortune and opened several branches. "

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

However, he never admitted who he was.

Xiao LIULANG, the illegitimate son of Xuanping Marquis, is now able to reveal his identity to people close to him.

There are not many people who know this identity. Gu Jiao, Yao and the little monk know that Gu Yan may have guessed something, but he should not have guessed Xiao Heng's step.

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

And Gu Jiao does not seem to want to break the casserole to ask in the end, she respects him, trusts him, has nothing to do with who he is.

Gu Jiao bent her lips: "OK, then go to eat stewed noodles!"

Although this noodle shop is new, it's full upstairs and downstairs.

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

The shopkeeper said with a sorry smile: "most of the new stores are supported by the familiar customers. Moreover, our store is not only a noodle shop, but also our cold dishes and stews! Now it's hot. It's hot in the room. I'd like to put a table in the yard for you to cool down! "

There are several in front of the shop. At a glance, they look like the big stalls of previous lives.

Gu Jiao has a little intimacy.

Xiao LIULANG took a look at her and said to the shopkeeper, "OK, you can put it."

"Ah! Dear guests, this way, please The waiter welcomed them into the noodle shop, walked through the lobby and came to the spacious courtyard.

The courtyard is large and quiet, but the view is not obstructed. You can have a panoramic view of the restaurant by sitting here.

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

The shopkeeper brought in tables and benches.

Two people sat on a long waiting table, each ordered a bowl of stewed noodles, but also two dishes of cold dishes, stew will not, eat will waste.

Waiting for the noodles, the waiter came up with a smile and asked, "two guests, we've run out of tables. There are two more guests. Would you like to have a table with us?"

Neither of them has a problem.

The shop boy led the people over. No one would have expected that it was the prince and princess.

Two people are not convinced, did not take the palace eunuch, only a master do rickshaw puller.

The prince and his concubine did not expect to meet Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao here.

Now when the prince saw Xiao LIULANG, he would think of the thick pile of arithmetic problems, and his brain hurt instantly!

The prince had never seen Gu Jiao, but he was surprised to see Xiao LIULANG sitting with a woman.

It is said that Xiao LIULANG has become a relative.

Is this woman Xiao LIULANG's wife, or is she some of those unruly women outside?

The prince doesn't care. A woman is a man's vassal. Whether she is Xiao LIULANG's wife or not, the prince won't look her in the eye.

The prince frowned, a little reluctant to eat here.

After all, anyone who faces a teacher like Xiao LIULANG will not be in the mood to eat. Is it OK that his questions are all over his head?

But the prince can't get rid of Xiao LIULANG. It's too arrogant and domineering, which is not in line with his reputation among the people these years.

He wants to go.

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

"He..." Prince Xin said, don't you recognize who that guy is? Xiao LIULANG! My uncle's illegitimate son, my father's confidant son, my Imperial Academy teacher!

"It seems to be written by Xiao Xiu. It's such a coincidence," the princess said in a warm voice

She said, her eyes fell on Xiao LIULANG's handsome face.

Just at this time, the waiter brought up two bowls of stewed noodles: "dear guests, your stewed noodles!"

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

The princess was slightly embarrassed.

But the prince thought that she said it to himself, and sighed helplessly: "yes, it's him. It's a coincidence."

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

This words voice is not big, but just enough Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao hear.

Neither of them paid attention to her.

The prince disdained to say: "who wants to be predestined with him!"

"I'm hungry." Said the princess.

"Then, then sit down!" The prince reluctantly took the princess and sat down opposite them. He said to the waiter, "give me all the delicious dishes here!"

"Can the prince finish it?" Xiao LIULANG finally paid attention to him, but he didn't have a good tone.

The prince glanced at the two bowls of stewed noodles in front of them. He thought it was too shabby. He said generously, "it's my treat tonight. Xiao Xiuzhuan is free to eat. Don't be polite to me. If the salary of the Imperial Academy is not high, Xiao Xiuzhuan can come to my house as a staff member. "

Xiao LIULANG looked at him lightly: "it's a felony to form a clique for personal gain. Is the prince sure to do so?"

It's not uncommon to raise aides and diners in the family. The emperor usually keeps his eyes closed, but if he raises them to the head of the emperor's students, he will touch the bottom line of the emperor.

Xiao LIULANG said coldly, "I'm a student of the emperor. I should serve your majesty wholeheartedly. The prince asked me to go to your house under my name. Where will you put your majesty?"

The prince choked and could not speak.

Just now, he was just teasing Xiao LIULANG, forgetting that he was a scholar of the two ranks. He had been summoned by his father and emperor, and had a banquet with Lu Ming. He was a serious student of the emperor.

Are you digging the corner of your father?

What do people think of his platform?

"Cough, cough!" The prince said, "I'm just testing you. Just remember your identity."

Soon, two people's cold dishes also on, is a dish of cold three silk and a dish of brine mutton.

Xiao LIULANG put the tenderest piece of mutton in Gu Jiao's bowl.

The princess looked at Xiao LIULANG and Gu Jiao.

This is the first time that she has met them in close distance. Xiao LIULANG's appearance coincides with the childish face in her impression, but it is stripped off again and again.

The sunny young man's eyes were innocent, warm and clear.

In front of him, Xiao LIULANG was a little more alienated and cold. His facial features were less childish and more introverted and heroic.

However, he looked at Gu Jiao's eyes, but it was not with the public, has not even aware of their own gentle.

He used to look at her like this, as if there was only her in his eyes.

The princess pinched the handkerchief.

What am I thinking?

Why do you take him as ah Heng?

The mutton of this family is very good for Gu Jiao. She eats it very well.

The prince didn't plan to pay attention to her, but Xiao LIULANG choked him. He was embarrassed when he didn't speak. Unconsciously, he set his eyes on Gu Jiao's face.

Don't see don't know, a look startled, her face how——

"My guest! Here comes your dish

The waiter filled the shop with signature dishes.

Although it is a dazzling array, but somehow, he always thinks that Xiao LIULANG's plate of mutton is the best!

Gu Jiao and Xiao LIULANG almost finished eating, just about to leave, Gu Jiao suddenly sniffed: "little two, what is so fragrant?"

The waiter said with a smile: "it's our osmanthus wine. If you like it, I'll give you a jar! The new store is open. You are welcome to come here in the future! "

"Is this wine?" Gu Jiao looked at the bottle that the shop boy handed over and asked.

The shopkeeper said, "it's not wine! Not drunk! The girl's favorite -- "

Gu Jiao took a sip.

The next second, bang, small head hit on the table, drunk!

Thanks to Xiao LIULANG's quick eyes and quick hands, he put the back of his hand on her forehead in time.

The shopkeeper said, "my guest, I'm really... Too strong to drink..."

The princess whispered, "we have a carriage. Let the coachman take you back."

Why are you so kind to them?

Xiao LIULANG said with no expression: "no need."

"You see, people don't appreciate it," he said

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

"Well?" Gu Jiao's star eye.

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

Gu Jiaoteng's small body sat straight, a pair of Phoenix eyes open big and round, the expression is very serious: "I'm not drunk!"

"Well." He gently coaxed her, slightly hook lips, "Jiaojiao not drunk."

That clean young voice, with a trace of men's magnetism, straight crisp to the heart.
