Chapter 391

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

Begonia flower has no special smell, but it still has the lingering charm of his fingertips. She feels fragrant when she smells it.

When Xiao LIULANG came to the door of the east room, he saw Gu Jiao lying on the windowsill, enjoying the Begonia which was not amazing compared with her at all. She held her cheeks in her hands and looked very carefully, as if she was looking at some rare treasure she had never seen.

It's just a Begonia. Do you like it so much?

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

At the bottom of his heart, he felt soft as if he had been poked again. Xiao LIULANG tapped on the door with his fingertips, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'll go to my aunt's house."

Gu Jiao looked back. The girl's face was bathed in the warm twilight. She bent her lips slightly at him: "OK, I'll call you to eat."

"Well."

Xiao LIULANG answered vaguely and quickly turned around, as if something was chasing behind him.

Gu Jiao couldn't laugh.

She took out a small book and seriously wrote that Xianggong sent flowers for the first time.

After a pause, he wrote, "go next door and say hello to her. My husband is so clingy.".

When he got out of the yard, Xiao LIULANG was embarrassed. The two families had already got through. Going to the next room was like going to the study. How could he go to the study by himself and explain to her?

She doesn't even talk to herself.

Xiao LIULANG went to Laoji's restaurant to help him correct Guozijian's papers.

Between them, Gu Jiao comes and knocks on the door.

"Here comes Jiao Jiao?" The old man gave a happy smile.

"Grandfather." Gu Jiao said hello, glanced at Xiao LIULANG, and said to the old man, "I'll take Xiao Jingkong to the orchard."

"Ah... Go." The old toaster wondered, this kind of thing doesn't have to come here specially to say, it didn't say before.

Gu Jiao looked at someone with a smile, with her little hand behind her, and walked away with a special air.

The eyes of Lao Jijiu turned to Xiao LIULANG.

Xiao LIULANG changed the paper seriously: "what do you want me to do?"

Something's wrong.

There is something wrong with the two young people!

The old wine is coming back. The little girl is not telling him, but Xiao LIULANG.

Is the relationship suddenly so good? They can't

No, the sand on my face is still there. There is no round house.

As a matter of fact, several of their elders have discussed this matter in private. All the rich people get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and they begin to be pregnant at the age of eighteen or nineteen. At that time, the risk of childbirth will be greatly reduced.

Jiao Jiao is still young, so it's better to round her house later.

Lao Jijiu looked at Xiao LIULANG meaningfully: "you boy..."

Xiao LIULANG said: "no, no, I can't help it."

Laojijiu: ah, man's mouth, deceitful ghost!

The next day, Gu Jiao sent Xiao LIULANG to the imperial palace.

Gu Jiao went to see her aunt.

Recently, the military situation at the border is in a critical situation. Both empress dowager Zhuang and the emperor are in the side hall of Jinluan hall to discuss the war with the military aircraft ministers, but they haven't returned to Renshou palace.

"Miss Gu, it's sunny today. Don't bask in it outside. Let's have a rest in the Empress Dowager's bedroom." Feicui said to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao likes this clever little maid very much, nodded to her: "good."

Gu Jiao went to her aunt's bedroom, and feicui offered her favorite melon and fruit snacks. Gu Jiao took a mouthful of melon at will, but accidentally spilled the juice on her body.

It's sticky and uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's dirty. I'll help you to change your clothes."

"No, I have my clothes."

Originally, she was going to the underground martial arts arena today. Her mask and men's clothes were in the small basket.

She changed into men's clothes, her hair spread out, and tied a high bun.

Feicui takes her clothes down to wash and dry.

Gu Jiao has nothing to do in her bedroom. She appreciates the treasures in Duobao Pavilion. Everything in Renshou palace is antique. It's priceless. Gu Jiao doesn't understand antiques, but it doesn't prevent her from appreciating the taste of money.

In a pile of treasures, she was accidentally attracted by a square brocade box, probably because it is the most antique of all treasures.

Gu Jiao looked curiously. She didn't have the habit of rummaging around, but she didn't expect the box to pop open with a touch.

The things in the box quickly attracted her attention. It was a brand-new pair of tiger shoes. They were very delicate and beautiful. At first sight, no one was wearing them. However, the cloth and pattern didn't seem to be fashionable this year.

"Curious."

Is it for Yao's baby?

"Miss Gu, if you dry your clothes well, you can do it in the afternoon." Feicui comes in and sees Gu Jiao staring at the box on Duobao Pavilion. She pauses and opens her mouth as if to say something.

"What's the matter?" Gu Jiao is aware of her anomaly.

"Oh, no, nothing." She said so, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at the box in front of Gu Jiao. Finally, under Gu Jiao's puzzled gaze, she was defeated and whispered, "we usually pay special attention to this box when we clean Duobao Pavilion. Duke Qin said that we should not touch it, let alone look at it. However, the Empress Dowager loves Miss Gu. It should be OK for Miss Gu to have a look. "

There's nothing precious in the box. What's precious is the pair of shoes inside.

Gu Jiao asked, "is the box here all the time?"

"Well, when the slave came to Renshou palace, it was there." Feicui thought about it and added, "I entered Renshou palace three years ago."

Three years ago, my aunt didn't come to their house. She didn't know Yao and didn't expect Yao to be pregnant with a child.

So these shoes are not for Yao's baby.

The military situation at the border is more urgent than expected. Until noon, Gu Jiao didn't see her aunt back. She decided to come again next time.

She went to the underground.

She is to see if ningwang has come to her, she is not anxious to agree to his proposal, but does not hinder her to cut his leeks.

Fifty two sticks of incense.

Lao he is also a human spirit. If you see the possibility of this business, you can directly mark the price - xiongbatian 52. Let's chat with you.

It's quite a rhyme.

However, her fame is not great. Besides, fifty liang of pure chatting is just like a sky high price. If you have such spare money to find a Huakui in the brothel, isn't it fragrant?

Therefore, except for ningwang, probably no one will take the bait.

However, Gu Jiao is wrong. There are a lot of fat fish in the big fish pond in Beijing.

"A young master named Xiao wants to see you." Lao he said.

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

"Of course I did. He frowned and thought it was a little worthless, but he didn't say anything. He paid me all the money." Lao he said and handed Gu Jiao a fifty Liang silver note.

"Sixty next time." Gu Jiao put the money away and wrote, "ten Liang is yours."

We can't let the old man be the middleman for nothing.

Lao he's eyes are full of green light, nodding like garlic: "ah! All right

Gu Jiao has already played five games and has not lost a single game. If she wins five more games, she will be promoted to the first level.

Today is still three games, one of them against a more powerful role than Dao Shanke, the other is a swordsman, only this last victory will be promoted to three levels.

Unfortunately, I met Gu Jiao.

But his kung fu is really good, forcing Gu Jiao to use a weapon - red tassel gun.

Her red tassel gun has been damaged by the small clearance. There is a big red flower on the head of the gun, and the body of the gun is also painted with red flowers, especially hot eyes.

When such an ugly weapon came out, everyone was blinded.

I don't know if the swordsman was blinded, so he was stunned on the spot. Then Gu Jiao stabbed him with a gun, poked him directly into his belt, and swung him up to the stage.

The swordsman sat on the ground with a confused face

He was stabbed by something?

Gu Jiao didn't go to see Xiao until she finished typing.

Each other's style than King Ning foot, even in the room separated by a screen, he sat behind the screen and Gu Jiao talk.

Unfortunately, as soon as she spoke, Gu Jiao recognized his voice.

Who is not the prince of Donggong?

When she and Xiao LIULANG went to Zhouji to eat, they met the Crown Princess and the crown prince. The impression is not good or bad. After all, they are not the people they care about. They have nothing to do with themselves.

However, his surname, Xiao, reminds Prince Gu Jiao that his mother, empress Xiao, is Xuanping's sister.

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

"Young Xia Xiong is good at martial arts. He is young and promising. I really admire him. I don't know where he learned from." The prince behind the screen asked.

He spoke with admiration, but his tone was a little higher.

This is not the case when the prince acted as a prince among the people. He paid great attention to his image in front of the people. He was not easy to put on airs, but now that he concealed his identity, he did not have to hide his true feelings.

Gu Jiao gently pulled the corners of her lips, took out a charcoal pen, wrote a sentence carelessly in a small book, and handed it to the prince's men.

The prince has already heard that the hero is a mute.

He wrote so long, the prince thought he wrote a lot of flattered words, but only two words - you guess.

The crown prince

After that, the prince exchanged a few words with Gu Jiao, which was a kind of soulless flattery. Gu Jiao's reply was basically "eh", "yes", "OK"... It was no more than two words.

The prince was fascinated.

How slow do you write? If it goes on like this, there will be no time for a stick of incense!

Also, this attitude is too perfunctory!

"Can you not always say two words?" Said the prince, holding back his anger.

Gu Jiao thought about it and wrote, "yes, I can."

Three words.

The crown prince once again said: --

The prince reminded himself that it was Linlang who asked him to come. He agreed that Linlang should not be angry with each other, but should talk with each other.

It's really depressing to say that his grand prince wants to lower his voice to a little girl in the world!

Forget it, in order to let Linlang go to the state of Yan to see Mr. Meng, he put up with it!

The prince calmed down, looked at the screen and said, "let's get down to business. I asked you to come here for the sake of..."

Pop!

His words just finish saying, Gu Jiao closed the small book in the hand, and stood up to point to oneself to come in and then point to the incense.

Time out.

The prince

The crown prince gritted his teeth: "I'll pay more!"

Gu Jiaotou waved her hand and threw out a note - the next appointment.

The prince vomited blood in anger——

Does Gu Jiao mean to embarrass the prince?

Certainly.

She didn't forget that the prince despised Xiao LIULANG when she had dinner in Zhouji last time. She bullied her husband, hehe.

Gu Jiao found Lao he and wrote in her small book: "next time this Xiao comes, the bottom price is one hundred Liang! Count your twelve, one hundred and twelve

Old he Mu stares mouth to be stupefied, the heart way you regard yourself as the flower Kui of Xian Le Ju? Such a high price!

"For, why?" He asked.

Gu Jiao lips a hook, wrote: "family price."

Lao he: "I'm not sure."

It's still early, and the Imperial Academy doesn't disperse so quickly. Gu Jiao goes back to Bishui alley to change her clothes.

Just as he was going out to meet Xiao LIULANG, Duke Qin came.

Duke Qin came to see Gu Jiao. He said with a smile, "the Empress Dowager came back from the Jinluan palace and learned that Miss Gu had been waiting in Renshou palace all morning. Why didn't she send someone to report to the Empress Dowager?"

Gu Jiao said: "it's OK. My aunt is busy. I'll see her again next time."

It's hard for Princess Zhuang and some of the owners of the house to do this.

Duke Qin handed Gu Jiao the food box in his hand, two in all: "in this food box are iced fruits and melons, and in this food box are snacks from the imperial dining room. The Empress Dowager asked the slave to send them to Miss Gu."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Gu Jiao reached for the food box and said, "Mr. Qin, sit in the room and have a cup of tea before you go."

It's very hot. Duke Qin is really thirsty.

He went into the hall with Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao poured him a cup of herbal tea.

"Thank you, Miss Gu." Duke Qin took it with both hands and took a big drink. He put down the tea bowl and said to Gu Jiao, "I'm leaving. I have to go back to the Empress Dowager."

"I give it to my father-in-law."

"No, No."

Gu Jiao still insists on sending people to the door.

The moment Qin Gong turned to get on the carriage, she suddenly stopped him: "Qin Gong."

Qin Gonggong looked back and said, "what else can I do for you, Miss Gu?"

Gu Jiao said, "there is something I want to ask."

The Duke of Qin said: "it's OK to speak, Miss Gu. The slave must know everything and say everything."

Gu Jiao made a gesture and said, "what's the matter with the tiger shoes in the square box in Duobao pavilion?"

Duke Qin's smile froze.

"It's OK. My father-in-law, get in the car." She is just curious to ask, if not, she does not force.

"... it's my master's shoes." Duke Qin spoke in a low voice.

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

"Qin Gonggong sighed:" are not, is the Empress Dowager's own flesh and blood, but was born to die

"Aunt... Had children?" Gu Jiao has never heard of this.

Duke Qin nodded disconsolately: "it's a pity that he was born dead. He didn't go to the genealogy, and he didn't have a place in the ranking of emperor's descendants. If the young master survived, he would be as old as his majesty. The little master is only three days away from his Majesty's birthday. "

Gu Jiao was silent.

Duke Qin opened the conversation, but he couldn't stop it for a moment: "in fact, if it hadn't been for this, your majesty might not have been taken to raise her in the name of Princess Jing. At that time, the queen was in favor. In fact, the former Emperor wanted to wait for his majesty to be born and give it to the queen to raise. "

Gu Jiao did not understand and said: "at that time, my aunt was pregnant, right? Since my aunt has a child of her own, why raise one? "

Duke Qin said: "the imperial doctor felt the pulse and said that the palace maid's belly is the prince. The Empress Dowager's belly is not sure. The first emperor thought that if the Empress Dowager had a princess, it would be good to give her a prince."

I've only heard how to count the pulse, but I haven't heard how to count the men and women. The people in the palace are struggling to survive.

"Then what happened?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Later..." Duke Qin gave a bitter smile. "Later, the queen broke out first and gave birth to a stillbirth. The stillbirth was an ominous omen for the royal family, and some villains stirred it up. His majesty Longyan was very angry and angered the queen. Three days later, the palace maid really gave birth to the prince, but his majesty did not send him to Kunning palace as promised, but gave him to the Jingpin in the Millennium palace. "

Did my aunt look forward to the birth of that child? I just didn't expect that heaven and man would be separated forever after I was born.

What Duke Qin didn't say was that the queen was young at that time, but she was a little girl in her seventies and eighties. She didn't despair about this deep palace, and she longed for her first child.

When she was born with a cold stillbirth, her whole body collapsed, and she burst into tears with her baby in her arms.

The cry of Kunning palace lasted all night. She had no tears in her life, and she had no tears in her heart.

"What's the coincidence? As soon as my aunt gave birth to a stillbirth, the maid in waiting gave birth to a prince. There was only three days between them. No one doubted anything?"

"Miss Gu, do you want to know whose plot the Empress Dowager has taken? I don't know. " Duke Qin wiped his tears. "When the queen just entered the palace, her mind was very simple. She didn't watch out so much. When she finally understood that she wanted to watch out, she couldn't find any clues."

Who was born that strong?

It's just that he was forced to take up the sword and fight in the back palace.

Gu Jiao's heart is not taste, this complex emotions do not need to understand, automatically burst in her heart: "that dead child... Will it be your majesty today?"

After all, it was only three days apart.

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