Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 167

The corner of Princess Zhaoyang's mouth twitched slightly: "I heard that Uncle Guchang was escorted away by his servants."

"That Kou girl is really huge." Emperor Xing Yuan said, suddenly lost his mind.

Seeing him like this, Princess Zhaoyang asked aloud, "What's the matter, brother?"

Emperor Xingyuan came back to his senses: "Oh, it's okay, let's go, imperial sister."

When Princess Zhaoyang left, Emperor Xingyuan leaned back in his chair and lost consciousness again.

At this age, there is only one woman he has ever met, and that is his wife Xinxin.

It's different, Xinxin doesn't stay drunk after a thousand cups, but does not change his face after drinking too much, so that people can't see drunk.

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help being curious about the "Miss Kou" he heard from his sister several times. Of course, this curiosity is natural, and as the king of a country, he would not invite a little girl into the palace to satisfy his curiosity. see you.

"Sun Yan, tell Gu Changbo to enter the palace."

When Gu Changbo heard that the emperor had summoned him, he didn't dare to delay to enter the palace for a moment, and he thought secretly when he saw Emperor Xingyuan's face.

"I heard that your son went to drink with Miss Kou who runs a bookstore?"

Uncle Gu Chang had already scolded his son for this incident, but he never expected that the emperor would specially call him into the palace for questioning.

"It made His Majesty laugh, that bastard always thought of going out once in a while."

"Young people are inevitably competitive, but these competitive spirits are best placed on civil and martial arts, rather than competing with women, what do you think?"

"Yes..." Uncle Gu Chang replied honestly, but he was not convinced in his heart.

Does the emperor know that your son also competed with Miss Kou at the banquet not long ago.

Uncle Gu Chang had the urge to sue, but suddenly realized: You can't sue, that's his nephew!

"I heard that he still lost." Emperor Xing Yuan said lightly.

Uncle Gu Chang was really embarrassed now, and when he got home, he angrily went looking for his son with a stick.

Emperor Xingyuan called King Qing into the palace again, and reprimanded him with a sullen face: "Think about your own identity before doing things, you are different from your cousin."

King Qing was afraid of the always serious Emperor Xing Yuan, he honestly admitted his mistake and only dared to show his anger when he left the palace.

Who complained to the father?

King Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, raised the curtains of the carriage and looked in the direction of the princess mansion.

His aunt must be right.

King Qing put down the curtains of the car with a gloomy expression, feeling very bad.

Ever since he could remember, he had noticed that his aunt was indifferent to him, and when he grew up, he would be sure that it was not an illusion.The mother and concubine said that it was because the aunt didn't like the concubines of the father and hated the house.

Tired of houses and crows—King Qing silently recited these words, and once again swore in his heart that when he got to that position, someone would definitely look good on him.

Xinyou met He Qingxiao the day before the new storybook "Journey to the West" was released.

After talking so much nonsense, she was embarrassed at first, but the time is magical, and when we meet again after these days, the awkward feeling has faded a lot.

"Master He drinks tea."

Looking at Xinyou's indifferent expression, He Qingxiao was a little unsure if she would remember those words when she was drunk, but she should express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Miss Kou, for what happened that day."

"That day?" Xin You pretended to be confused without changing his face.

She has experience in pretending to have amnesia, but in any case, Master He can't let Master He know that she remembers everything.

"On the day of the eldest princess's birthday party, Miss Kou saved me from the bloody disaster."

"Nothing." Xin You denied it with a smile.

He Qingxiao looked at her: "Miss Kou said that at the time."

"Really?" Xin You showed embarrassment, "I drank too much at the time, and I didn't remember anything when I woke up. What else did I say? Didn't I go crazy with alcohol?"

Miss Kou really didn't remember.

He Qingxiao's heart relaxed slightly, and then he felt an inexplicable loss, but he didn't show it at all: "No, Ms. Kou's wine is very good. This is a small thank you gift, and I hope Ms. Kou will not dislike her."

Xin You's eyes fell on the wooden box on the table, and she slightly bent her lips.

Master He actually prepared a thank you gift.

"Can I open it and have a look?"

He Qingxiao smiled and nodded: "Miss Kou, please feel free."

Xin You opened the wooden box, and inside were various small animals carved from beautiful jade, a total of twelve pieces, exactly a set of twelve zodiac signs.

"It's really carved." Xin You picked up a jade monkey and admired it sincerely.

Judging from the jade quality and carving workmanship, this set of twelve zodiac signs must not be cheap.

Xin You played with the little jade monkey, thinking that this would cost Master He a lot.

"Miss Kou likes it, as long as she likes it." Seeing that she really liked her, He Qingxiao smiled.

The drunken incident is in the past, and Xin You asked about Princess Xuan: "Master He talked about the prince before, but when I saw Princess Xuan that day, I was a little curious, can Master He talk about it?"

Before asking He Qingxiao about this, she had to rack her brains to find a reason. Since she revealed most of her secrets, she asked whenever she wanted.

"There are three princesses in the palace. Princess Xuan is the oldest, only one year younger than King Qing. The other two princesses are twin girls, only eight years old this year..."

Xin You pursed her lips when she heard Princess Xuan's age.

Counting the time, Princess Shixuan's concubine should be pregnant when mother left the palace.

Seeing that she was listening seriously, He Qingxiao continued: "The second princess and the third princess are still young and raised in a deep palace, so outsiders don't know their situation well. As for Princess Xuan——"

"Does Princess Xuan often go out of the palace?" Sensing He Qingxiao's hesitation, Xin You asked casually.

He Qingxiao shook his head: "Princess Xuan actually lives reclusively, but because of her age, she has attracted more attention than the two little princesses. Furthermore...Princess Xuan and Empress Ji have not been conferred the title of princess."

According to the previous dynasty, the favored princess would be granted a title not long after she was born, and she would be granted a title when she was born at the latest.Although there are many rules in the current dynasty that are different from those of the previous dynasty, the ages of the two princes were determined according to the previous dynasty. Princess Xuan has not been crowned as an adult, so it is inevitable to guess the emperor's attitude towards the eldest daughter.

The eldest princess is not favored, and in the past two years it has become the consensus of all officials.

Hearing what He Qingxiao said, Xin You finally understood where the weird feeling at the banquet that day came from.

No wonder the noble ladies were talking and laughing, and Princess Xuan sat on the bench alone.

This kind of mentality is not difficult to understand. A princess who is not liked by the emperor is not good to please, and may cause trouble if she is provoked.

Six princes and three princesses are quite a lot.

Xinyou lowered her eyes and took a sip of her tea.

"Miss Kou."

Xin You looked up at the man opposite.

At this moment, she was suddenly very grateful for the choice she made when facing his inquiry that day.

This allowed her heart full of secrets to have a little space to breathe.

"What does Master He want to say?"

He Qingxiao leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice: "Do you think the emperor knows about Mr. Xin's existence, what will happen?"

Xinyou's eyes turned cold: "I can't think of it."

He Qingxiao sighed softly in his heart as he looked at this face which was similar to Princess Zhaoyang's.

He couldn't think of it either.
