Qian Li raised her head, and slowly looked at the person in front of her, she said, "Qian Li indeed doesn't have anything, but it's precisely because there's nothing, that you can relax, your highness? If it still fails, Qian Li still has a life to live. "
"Haha." Gong Ming immediately laughed, but even his smile was not as bright as the bottom of his eyes.
His master once said that people whose smiles couldn't match their eyes were usually good at calculating.
Gong Ming was not really angry, he bent over and pulled Qian Li up.
At this moment, the steward finally calmed down a little.
"Don't be so nervous. This King came here to thank you in the first place."
Qian Li frowned, "Not blame?"
Gong Ming sat down on the chair and indicated for the butler to sit with Qian Li to talk.
The reason why I did so is that I don't want others to know the true appearance of my palace. Once someone becomes the consort, then according to tradition, the official accounts of the manor will naturally have the presence of an official imperial concubine, and at that time, there will be some things that will be too troublesome. Also, I have spent so many years accumulating my strength just so that I won't unreasonably get involved in these disputes if I don't have the ability to. However, in these two years, the number of people in the mansion has increased, so no matter who it is, the other two consorts will be dissatisfied. This King has always been in a passive state. Now it's fine. With you being the silent villain and This King secretly adding to the chaos, everything is just right. "
Qian Li did not say anything.
Previously, her master had also said that she was a natural born genius. Many things could be learned easily, and her own body originally had many abilities that others didn't have. She was able to see through people's hearts.
Oh, it's not really seeing through the heart, but judging a person's character and temper based on his speech and behavior, and sometimes even knowing what the other person does from these things.
Previously, her master had teased her about this ability, saying that it was more suitable for her to be a constable than to lead soldiers to war.
But even so, she still commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield.
She had always believed that she could analyze the other party's personality better than an average person.
She could see through most of the people in this world, but the people in the Gong family seemed to be outsiders.
He had once misjudged Gong Ye. Right now, she could not understand Gong Ming either.
"Then what does the emperor mean by this?"
Other than Lianer, the other two had already caused an uproar in the Duke Palaces. Adding to the arguments between the imperial guards and the great general during this period of time, the emperor had finally decided to give the position of main wife to Susu. After all, even though her true identity could not compare to Qianqian's, and she was not even a direct daughter, as long as the great general still recognized her as his daughter, her identity was already the most important and honorable.
"Since the emperor has already said so, the others probably won't have any objections." The butler said.
Gong Ming nodded, "However, in order for this matter to be resolved as soon as possible, the Emperor has also ordered for Qianqian to be the Lateral Consort. As for Lianer …"
"Miss Lianer has a kind nature and has never liked to participate in any battles. Even the Grand Guard and the Great General were not involved with her and the Prime Minister … "Seems like her upbringing isn't bad."
Gong Ming did not speak in a hurry, but turned his gaze towards Qian Li, "What do you think?"
"Lianer's personality is indeed better than the two of them, but, I do not think that the Emperor will not give him an explanation just because the Prime Minister has yet to speak," After saying that, Qian Li looked at herself, with those eyes of her, it was as if... Disappointment.
She knew what he was disappointed in, perhaps expecting her to tell the truth. To say that Lianer was actually the most difficult to deal with person.
But even knowing that was what he wanted to hear, Qian Li still didn't say it.
It wasn't that he was being considerate, but it didn't seem bad to be a bit stupid sometimes.
Moreover, to him, perhaps Lianer would still be of some use in the future. Of course, these weren't the main reasons.
There was only one reason why Qian Li did not say anything bad to him, and that was …
She didn't want to make trouble for herself.
Because he knew that even if he spoke the truth, Gong Ming would definitely not do anything to Lianer.
Even though the two of them were competing with their wits and courage, the steward had yet to change the topic.
He frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "What do we need to say with regards to Prime Minister Mansion? Lianer did not receive any injury on this matter, and with such a comparison, her position in the Duke Palaces instead received more support. And she wasn't involved in anything. "
The more the butler spoke, the more he felt that he could not understand, so he stopped guessing and directly threw the question to Qian Li.
"Miss Qian Li, what exactly do you mean by this? Speak plainly. "
Qian Li nodded her head, "The three of them were sent to the Duke Palace at around the same time as well. Logically speaking, from the day they arrived at the Duke Palace, the servants in the Duke Palace have always treated them as future masters, and putting aside their true identities, from what we can see with our naked eyes, one of them is the Overseer, one of them is the General, and the other three are all people the emperor has never wanted to offend. So, how could the emperor just bestow rewards on the other two and not pay attention to Lianer?"
The steward was finally enlightened, "That makes sense. Then, my lord, what do we need to do in the future?"
Gong Ming still did not say anything, Qian Li faintly sighed, and finally knew that this person had come for him.
She could only answer, "The steward would usually do whatever he wanted, but if those few people are all consort, then they must be like what the prince said; they must be in charge of all the big and small matters in the estate. Then …" It's absolutely impossible for her not to look at the account book. "
"But, if I were to take a look, all of the properties under the prince's name would all be exposed …"
Qian Li smirked and instantly smiled.
"If that's the case, then I'll need to trouble the butler."
When she said that, Gong Ming also looked towards her, that gaze seemingly had a cunning lick.
Looks like … Appreciation.
However, most of them seemed to have a tacit understanding.
Right, tacit understanding. It was a type of tacit understanding that one would be able to tell what the other party was thinking just by looking at each other.
But how could that be possible?
Qian Li felt a little awkward. Her intuition told him that there were some things that were somewhat out of her control, but she could not say anything specific.
Thus, she shifted her gaze and topic at the same time.
"If you don't allow it to last for too long, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Rather than making people suspicious, it would be better to simply cut off this source."
"Miss Qian Li, just say it directly. What are you thinking?"
"You still need to look at the account books, but whatever you look at is still in your hands."
Butler's eyes lit up: "So you mean..."
"This kind of thing, can only be understood but not spoken of."
Afterwards, the few of them discussed some more details before Gong Ming left.
But the butler was in no hurry to leave.
Instead, he continued to stare at Qian Li.
Qian Li frowned, "Is there anything dirty on my face?"
The butler shook his head, "It's not that. It's just that I've always been curious as to why Miss Qian Li would actually help the prince with such a plan."
Qian Li did not understand, "Since I have decided to do something for your highness, then I need to focus all my mind on it. Isn't it what I should do if I were to come up with a plan?"
The butler looked embarrassed. "No, what I mean is, does Miss Qian Li have any other intentions towards the prince?"
"Other ideas?" Qian Li asked, and then continued, "No."
"But …"
"I don't understand why everyone here thinks that I should have some thoughts about your prince. In fact, to put it nicely, it's because I'm not worthy of your prince, so I've never had any thoughts about your prince. To put it harshly, Butler, do you think your prince is someone who is loved by everyone?" Or should I be like a fly seeing shit when I see him? "
