Chapter 9 Forcibly Finding Faults
"3 taels of gold?!" Gu Fengxuan stood up abruptly, with a very unsightly expression on his face. In order to make Xirong promise not to invade Jiang State within ten years, he had already agreed to the princess's marriage, sending 100 cattle and sheep each, and silver. 3 million taels and other seemingly unreasonable conditions, but now there is an additional [-] taels of gold. This is clearly the lion's big mouth, and it is really deceiving!
Gu Ruo'er stood by the side, looked at Gu Fengxuan whose face suddenly became ugly, pursed her lips, and said in a casual tone, "Brother Huang, it's normal for a small place like Xirong to be poor, but it's only 3 taels of gold. That's all, it's nothing, we just give them."

After all, in order to save Jiang Guo from the war, her imperial brother gave a lot of conditions. Compared with what was promised before, the 3 taels of gold may be a bit much, but compared to asking her to make a marriage, Gu Ruo'er is more convenient. I feel that the 3 taels of gold is nothing.

Originally, Gu Fengxuan was dissatisfied with Xi Rong's behavior of taking advantage of the fire, but now he was even annoyed when he heard his sister's indifferent tone, and immediately reprimanded him: "Shut up, do you have a place to speak here? Listen, don’t go back to your palace to stay!”

Seeing that Gu Fengxuan suddenly pointed the finger at her, how could Gu Ruoer not understand that this was clearly taking the anger she received from others onto her. If it was normal, she wouldn't care about her brother's identity, and would have choked on it long ago. She went back, but at this juncture, she really didn't dare to say anything more. What if she really angered her brother and directly replaced her with her relatives?
"Yes, sister-in-law leave." Gu Ruo'er could only hold back her anger and obediently leave, but looking at her leaving back and the way her head swayed, it was obvious that she was very angry.

Watching Gu Ruo'er leave, Gu Fengxuan naturally knew that she was angry, but so what?If it wasn't for this younger sister, he wouldn't need to spend the extra 3 taels of gold.

After the people left, Gu Fengxuan withdrew his mind, took a deep breath and said to Gu Beiye, "Uncle Emperor, you go and reply to them, just say that I agree to this condition, and I will add the 3 taels of gold to the gift list I'll go." After speaking, he wanted to let the minister of Xuanli Department enter the palace.

"Your Majesty," Gu Beiye interrupted in time, "In Yichen's opinion, it's better not to write the 3 taels of gold on the gift list."

"What's the meaning of Uncle Huang's words?" Gu Fengxuan frowned slightly.

Gu Beiye explained patiently: "In order to coexist peacefully with Xirong in the future, we have already promised a lot of things before, and the list of gifts has already been set. If we want to add more, I am afraid that Xirong will think that we are easy to bully. Some ministers in the DPRK may also think that you have mishandled it."

"Uncle Huang is right." Gu Fengxuan nodded after listening, and then asked: "Then according to Uncle Huang, what should we do about this matter?"

Gu Fengxuan subconsciously asked Gu Beiye for help. The late emperor passed away suddenly. He had only ascended the throne for half a year, and his position in the court was not stable. If it weren't for the help of the emperor's uncle from time to time, he would have been unable to move forward.

Gu Beiye was silent for a moment, and proposed a solution, "Your Majesty, how about this, you give the 3 taels of gold to the minister, and then the minister will send the things over, don't worry, the minister will explain it clearly to them, and don't let them leak the matter , In this way, Xirong's conditions can be met, the wedding date can be postponed, and the royal family's face can be preserved, so as not to cause discussions among courtiers and common people."

"It's so good, but it's just that the emperor has to make another trip."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? How can it be considered hard work for His Majesty?" Gu Beiye looked hard-working.

"Since that's the case, then I will order people to send the things to the Emperor's Uncle's Mansion right now."

"Okay," Gu Beiye nodded in response, "Your Majesty still has a memorial to approve, so I will leave first."

"Well," Gu Fengxuan didn't keep any more people, but ordered Ying Fugui to send them out properly, while he picked up the memorial at the side and began to review it.

On the other side, Gu Ruo'er was angry with Gu Fengxuan, but she couldn't express it in front of others. She was really aggrieved, so she went straight to Shoukang Palace as soon as she came out of the imperial study.

As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, she met Yun Xiu who was beside the queen mother. Seeing Gu Ruoer coming, Yun Xiu thought she was here to pay her respects to the queen mother, so she stepped forward and said, "Princess, why are you here at this time? Chanting scriptures, you may have to wait for a while."

"No, since the queen mother is chanting scriptures, I won't bother you. I came here this time for other things." After finishing speaking, she turned her gaze to Gu Qian'er's residence, and went there .

Gu Ruo'er was so aggressive that no one stopped her along the way. When she walked to the door of Gu Qian'er's room, she kicked the door open and shouted, "Gu Qian'er, get out!"

Looking around for a week, she found that Gu Qian'er was still reading a book in a leisurely way. She was furious immediately, and she couldn't even care about her manners. She walked up to her, tore off her book, and looked at her face. She opened her face, she was even more angry, she raised her hand and slapped Gu Qian'er's face heavily.

The force was so great that Gu Qian'er's face was directly turned to one side, and the fingerprints on her face quickly appeared, but Gu Ruo'er was still puzzled, and pointed at the person's nose and cursed: "It's all about you, the bad luck! You are a lowly bastard, forget about your own misfortune, and pass it on to others, making others feel uneasy. Do you know that it is because of you that we want to give Xirong 3 taels of gold more, and I was scolded by the emperor for growing up so big? It's the first time you get angry at me like this, and it's all because of you bitch!"

Being slapped for no reason like this, and then being pointed at the nose and scolded, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he can't bear it.

"What does this have to do with me?" Gu Qian'er turned her head, with obvious sarcasm and indifference in her eyes, she looked straight at Gu Ruo'er without fear and said, "You are the ones who asked me to make a kiss, something happened now You are the ones who blame me, shouldn't you blame yourself? If you didn't choose me, how would there be any future?"

"You still dare to quibble, dare to contradict me?!" Gu Ruo'er was so angry that her body trembled slightly.

However, Gu Qian'er didn't intend to stop, but continued: "Isn't it? If you accept the marriage from the beginning, there will be no later things, let alone give Xi Rong a chance to speak loudly." , All of this was caused by you, but now you want to blame it all on me? What is the reason for this!"

"Heh, hahaha..." Gu Ruo'er laughed back angrily, "Reason? Do you want to reason with me?" Gu Ruo'er put away the smile on her face, and said viciously: "Then today, I will let you Look, in this palace, who is the truth!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves, turned his head and ordered: "Take this ignorant thing outside for me, so that everyone in the palace can see it, and what will happen if you annoy me!"
