The soft beauty is very good at flirting, and the soul of the ascetic prince is floating

Chapter 24 So you saved her?
  "Hahaha, it's true that people are in high spirits during happy events. Marquis Yong'an looks rosy and handsome!"

"What, is Yong'an Marquis happy?" Song Jingzhang took a sip of tea and asked in surprise.

Li Shilang: "Your Highness, you don't know yet? The Marquis has a new beautiful concubine. I heard that she is from Yangzhou... Hahaha!"

Several people looked at each other, understood the meaning of his words, and laughed jokingly.
  "Master Hou is so beautiful, hahaha!"

“Hahaha Yangzhou is indeed a great place!”

From Yangzhou?

Could it be the sorority that his wife said?
  Song Jingzhang thought for a moment and then rejected the idea.
  The sister Gu Wanyu mentioned had already become the concubine of Marquis Yongan, and Li Shilang also said that she was from Xinna. It seems that she shouldn't be.
  It was just a concubine, and Song Jingzhang didn't take it seriously. After everyone made fun of Marquis Yong'an, he got down to the topic.

"You are all my subordinates, so I won't make too many detours."

"Now the eldest brother is quite prestigious in the army, and the second brother is the direct descendant of the middle palace, and is highly sought after by the Confucian and Taoist people in the world."

"According to what you all said, where should I start?"

……

"Hahaha, as expected, I gained a lot from talking with these adults. It's so late to meet me. If there had been help from these adults earlier, why did I get this title just recently?"

"Your Highness has given you too much praise, and the ministers and others should never accept it."

"Your Highness, why should you be so modest? Your Highness's abilities have been witnessed by me during my trip to Yangzhou."

"Hahaha, okay, we don't have to be polite to each other. Just follow what the adults said and put more effort into the household department."

Song Jingzhang glanced at Li Shilang and said, "I will need to take more photos with Mr. Li in the future."

"Hey, Wei Chen, it's his duty to serve His Highness."

"Okay, okay, with you all by my side, why don't you worry about not being able to plan something big? It's getting late, so let's stop here today."

Song Jingzhang gave an order and the meeting ended. Li Shilang, Marquis Yong'an and others left one after another until he was the only one left in the room.
  Song Jingzhang sat back on his seat, facing the candlelight and playing with the teacup in his hand.
  Only a quarter of an hour,

The staff and the few officials who had been following the crowd came back.
  "How, what can you see?"

Song Jingzhang put down his tea cup and looked at the people,

"Master Hui, Marquis Yong'an seems to be following him sincerely, but he is too elegant."

"Yes, although his wife comes from the Fang family, which has been in the family for generations, Mr. Fang is already old, and I am afraid that he will retire and return to his hometown soon."

"But that Minister Li..."

"Slick and cunning, you can't tell anything at the moment."

There are different opinions,

Song Jingzhang also nodded secretly,

"To tell you the truth, although Marquis Yong'an is a bit lecherous, after working with his colleagues in Yangzhou, I think he is quite capable. As for Mr. Fang, although he is about to retire and return to his hometown, his influence in Qingliu is still very high. considerable."

"What you mean is that Marquis Yong'an is available?"

"That's right. Although I just came here and don't know the depth yet, I can try it out first."

"As for Minister Li," Song Jingzhang raised a smile on his lips, "it was my father who secretly instructed me to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs for training before I came here to express my goodwill."

"Is this what the emperor meant?" Several people suddenly looked happy,
  "It seems that the Emperor still values ​​His Highness very much."

"Yes, the path Your Highness has taken is indeed a good one."

Listening to the praise from everyone, Song Jingzhang also showed a bit of satisfaction.
  Princes have always competed for the heirloom, but only the words "money, power and fame" have been used.
  The elder elected military power, the second elected reputation based on his birth.

Logically speaking, he should work on money just like he just discussed.
  But after many considerations, he chose the path of "loyalty".
  After the eldest and second eldest brother blatantly expressed their thoughts of fighting for the throne, only a son like him who was loyal to the emperor could stand out in the heart of the emperor.

Loyalty, dormancy, let the emperor see his son first, then he can wait for the future,

Isn't it true that the emperor took the initiative to let him go to the Ministry of Household Affairs for training?
  Although the order has not yet been made clear, Li Shilang's surrender is a signal.

"But, Sir, since Minister Li may be your Majesty's man, what about us?" A staff member asked, worried that the meeting house and the people under his command would be exposed.

Song Jingzhang came back to his senses and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, this Minister Li is not an idiot."

Seeing his determined look, several people felt relieved.

"It is indeed a happy event that the emperor pays homage to me. I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

"Yes, this is extraordinary. It's really a good start. I would like to give you a toast."

"I would like to propose a toast to you!"

Everyone raised their glasses,

Song Jingzhang laughed, picked up his teacup and clinked it with them.

After drinking, he said a few words of encouragement, and then said: "Although it is a good start, we must not slack off and move forward cautiously."

"What I said is true."

"Then let's take the next step..."

The candles in the other courtyard were lit almost all night long, and it was not until early morning that everyone dispersed.

----split line----

"You mean, Aunt Du sent the maid next to her to Marquis Yong'an's bed?"

"Yes, I heard that she has become Aunt Lin, and the matter of Aunt Du going to Zhuangzi has been dropped." Gu Liufu said respectfully.

Gu Wanyu pursed her lips into a smile,

Although on the surface it was said to be sent by Du Yueniang,

But with her understanding of the two of them,

Lin Wanniang must have done this secretly while Du Yueniang was unprepared.

I just didn't expect that Lin Wanniang would move very quickly.

As soon as she asked Gu Liufu to provoke her, she was so excited that she climbed into bed.

"You did a good job in this matter, Xiaohuan. I will reward him with ten taels of silver."

Xiaohuan immediately took out a purse and stuffed it into Gu Liufu's hand.
  "Thank you, Madam."

"No need to thank me. If you do well, you will be rewarded."

Gu Liufu held his purse and smiled happily.

Suddenly his face paused, as if he remembered something again, he raised his head and glanced at her,
  "Madam, there is one more thing. That girl Yurui is not dead. I heard she is still breathing. However, she was taken back to the Zhenguo Duke's Palace by the second young master of the Zhenguo Duke's Palace."

"Oh? This second young master is really dedicated."

A sarcastic smile flashed across Gu Wanyu's lips,

He is really cruel.

"This is not the only thing I want to get back." Gu Liufu looked around and said,
  Gu Wanyu couldn't help but feel curious. She waved her hand casually and asked Xiaohuan to take everyone down.
  "Okay, let's talk."

"Not even half a day after she entered the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, Miss Yu Rui was dragged from the corner gate to the mass grave."

"The little one was passing by and happened to bump into it, but he noticed that Yu Rui's hand moved, as if it was still alive. The little one was curious, so he followed her quietly,"

"Then I saw the boys who dragged her over, watching helplessly as she was eaten by wild dogs."

"You can vouch for it, I will definitely see it right. That girl Yu Rui is definitely still alive... Xiao Xiao, I just squatted there all night..."

"So you saved her?" Gu Wanyu looked at him with a half-smile,
  "Little one, little one just drove away those wild dogs after the servants from the Duke's Mansion left."
