Tangled

"Qing Ning knew she was wrong, please punish her grandma."

Knowing that he was out of control this time, Gu Qingning did not defend himself, let go of the maid's hand and knelt down.

"You are the daughter carefully trained by the Hou Mansion, and you have followed the rules of the palace all these years."

"In terms of family background, appearance, and talent, you are one of the best in Beijing, but it's just a missed opportunity. Why can't you keep your mind steady?"

"Fortunately, you are still a little sensible. You only lost your temper when you came back. If you are outside, your reputation that has been carefully built for many years will be destroyed in one go."

"The crown prince has not yet selected a noble daughter, we still have a chance." Looking up and down Gu Qingning, the old lady paused, and said: "Even if we choose, we can also be a side concubine."

The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, and even if he becomes his side concubine, he can become a noble concubine after he ascends the throne, and he can also win glory for the Hou family.

"Grandmother wants Qingning to be a concubine?"

Gu Qingning raised her head with disbelief in her eyes. For many years, she has been urging herself to be the princess. If she is to be a concubine, it would be better to kill her.

Knowing her temperament, the old lady didn't fight her hard, but just looked out the window and let out a long sigh.

"Qing Ning, you also know that your eldest brother has no relationship with anyone in the mansion. He also let go of the words early on. The honor and disgrace of the Yong'an Hou Mansion have nothing to do with him."

"Your brother is too young to support the Marquis of Yong'an. As a direct sister, you have to bear the burden for your younger brother and sister for a while."

"Being a concubine with the crown prince is a bad idea that can't be done. If we plan carefully, we will surely achieve what we want."

There was sadness in her words, and it seemed that she had made such a decision with great determination.

Gu Qingning looked at the gully that seemed to have deepened again, with regret in his eyes, stepped forward and knelt down on the old lady's lap, "Grandma, Qingning always listens to grandma."

Seeing her being so docile and obedient, the old lady smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

"For a while now, you need to have a good relationship with Princess Suyang. She is the prince's younger sister. It is good for you to have a good relationship with her."

The empress lives in the harem, and usually sees no one. Only Princess Suyang, who has been given the princess mansion, can often meet.

If the prince can't see him, then he will start with the people around him, and after he wins over Princess Suyang, it will be logical to follow her into the palace to greet the queen.

"Princess Suyang often lives in the palace, besides, the two of us have never had any contact with each other. Will it be counterproductive if we rush to join in now?"

The old lady stroked her head and chuckled, "I've thought of that a long time ago."

"Princess Suyang likes novelty things. I happen to have a Linglong Tower in my warehouse. If you bring it to the door, she will definitely not refuse."

The Linglong Pagoda was built by monks from the Western Regions. It has [-] floors in total, and each floor hides three kinds of organs. Only by unlocking the three stages can the upper floor be opened.

Legend has it that on the No. 18th floor of Linglong Pagoda, the priceless Pearl of the West Sea was placed. Once it came out, it attracted competition from all sides.

The Linglong Pagoda has disappeared for more than [-] years. I thought it was unlocked by someone, but I didn't expect it to be with my grandmother.

"It is said that the Linglong Pagoda disappeared in the Western Regions, how could it be here with grandma?"

The old lady didn't mean to explain her doubts, but just patted her on the back lightly to signal her to get up.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. You go back and change your clothes, and take the Linglong lock with the mother."

It would be too rude to come to the door without delivering the post.

Gu Qingning wanted to say a few words, but seeing that the old lady had closed her eyes as if she had made up her mind, she had no choice but to back out.

"Girl, let's go back first, the old slave went to the warehouse to pick up the Linglong Pagoda and sent it there."

Gu Qingning nodded, and slowly walked towards her yard while supporting the maid's hand.

"The girl has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for a long time, and she hasn't eaten yet, why don't you go for a rest first?"

She walked very slowly, and her legs couldn't help shaking when she was out of the sight of Fu Rongyuan. The maid at the side couldn't help opening her mouth when she saw it.

Gu Qingning clasped her hands tightly, took a deep breath, and then turned her head to look coldly, "Don't talk too much."

Grandma's decision, how can a little maid like her be able to comment on it.

Now that grandma has spoken, let's not say that she can only kneel for a long time and her legs become weak, even if her legs are broken, she still has to go out for today's trip.

"If you still want to spend the rest of your life in peace, you should learn to read more and speak less, otherwise, if this word reaches grandma's ears one day, I won't be able to protect you."

The little servant girl was frightened by this cold look, she shuddered and plopped down on her knees.

"The servant knows it's wrong."

"That's all for this time, and next time, I will never forgive you."

Although she was strict, she was not a cruel person, she just let it go after she made a quarrel and stated her interests.

The little maid let out a sigh of relief, and quickly kowtowed to thank her. Seeing Gu Qingning lift her foot forward, she hurriedly got up and followed.

There is a ten-mile long slope in the suburbs of Beijing.

After waiting for more than half an hour before finally waiting for the person to come, Mu Chengze raised his eyebrows and looked at him sideways.

"This is really a rare thing. The Marquis of Zhenbei, who has always been extremely punctual, actually made Gu... let me wait for such a long time."

"Look at this day, every inch of light is telling you that you are late."

Gu Tingshu rode on the horse, looked down at him, did not answer his words, and took the lead in whipping away.

"Tsk tsk, look at this man, he's getting more and more presumptuous, he doesn't even care about Gu."

"Lang Yi, do you think Gu should be punished for his crimes? Let him go down again, I'm afraid he will kick Gu's nose on Gu's face."

Wolf Yi led the horse and stood aside, not daring to answer this question.

Every time I run into trouble in Zhenbeihou, I will ask him. After so many years of asking, I have never seen His Highness blame him once.

If he accepted these words, maybe he would be the first to be punished.

"Another log."

Knowing that he didn't dare to answer, Mu Chengze didn't make things difficult for him and jumped on the horse.

"Take people to hide around, and don't show up without orders from Gu."

"Marquis Zhenbei doesn't like people getting too close, so stay away."

"Your Highness, if the distance is too far, the subordinates may not be able to..."

"With Ashu here, Gu will not be in any danger." Mu Chengze interrupted him, seeing him bow his head and back away, he flung his whip and galloped away.

After riding the horse for less than half a mile, he saw Gu Tingshu stopping by the side of the road and smiling, and Mu Chengze chased after him with a smile.

"I knew you wouldn't go far."

"The journey is long and boring, tell me quickly, why are you late today?"

As soon as he came and asked the question just now, Gu Tingshu glanced at him sideways, and was stopped when he was about to throw the whip.

"Even if Ash doesn't tell me, I can still know."

"The entire Yong'an Hou Mansion can stop Ashura, except for Jiangzhou cousin, there will never be another person."

I haven't seen him late for so many years. After making friends with that Shen family cousin, he changed his personality.

I collected so many good things in his palace and sent them to him, not to mention even the queen mother and the emperor's place. In just a few days, the small courtyard was almost covered with jewelry and novelty gadgets. piled up.
