Doctor Xianggong, the goddess of poisonous belly

Chapter 48

The chief steward's heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that Prime Minister You seemed to be looking for trouble rather than giving gifts, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, and said hurriedly and cautiously: "Your Excellency misunderstood, it's not The little prince doesn't want to come to receive the lord in person, because the little prince has been sick and bedridden for the past few days, the little prince also wants to come to receive the lord in person but he is afraid of neglecting the lord, so he invited the son to do it for him."

"I see." Lou Yuan nodded in satisfaction when he got the answer, and there was a hint of meaning in his eyes, which always had a slight smile. Said: "Exactly so."

However, Lou Yuan spoke again when the chief steward breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a concerned tone: "The little prince has only been married for only three or five days, and he has been bedridden for a few days. I don't know if he has enjoyed the beauty's grace." , the eldest lady in Lord Zuoxiang's residence is the number one beauty in Gyeonggi, I wonder if the young prince is okay?"

Lou Yuan's caring words actually have a sense of ridicule, ridiculing that the little prince is too eager to enjoy the beauty's favor to the point of ruining himself, and the chief steward is an old man in King Yi's mansion, so how can he not understand Lou Yuan's words? Meaning, this obviously doubts his words, and Lou Yuan's words made him not know how to respond, his respectful face was only pale with embarrassment for a while.

At this moment, Qiu Tong smiled lightly, and said to Lou Yuan: "My lord, you see that you have turned the face of the director of the National People's Congress into green."

Only then did Lou Yuan realize that the chief steward's expression was wrong, he smiled and apologized, "Don't mind the chief steward, it's just a casual comment by Lou, not intentionally commenting on the young prince."

"The little ones dare not!" The chief steward's heartbeat became even more restless, and for the first time in his heart he was looking forward to the arrival of the prince.

Qiu Tong took a look at the increasingly nervous chief steward, and said jokingly: "Look, my lord, you have to tell me that you are not in a hurry if you want to come earlier, but now it's good, Lord Yi is not in the mansion, and the little prince is in bed. , even the crown prince will not come to receive you."

Qiutong's joking words made the chief steward's face completely pale. The right prime minister in front of him didn't even dare to neglect Lord Yi when he saw him, let alone a small steward, he raised his hand and wiped his forehead sweating, lowered his head even lower.

And Qiu Tong's words made Yu, who was sitting in the warm pavilion separated from the living room by a curtain before Lou Yuan entered the mansion, almost couldn't sit still and wanted to lift the curtain to come out. Fortunately, the nanny beside her stopped her in time. she.

Just when the chief steward didn't know how to serve Lou Yuan, a servant girl hurried in. After she saluted Lou Yuan, the chief steward hurriedly asked her in a low voice, "But the prince is here?"

I saw the servant girl nodded and then shook her head, panting a bit and said: "I didn't see Shizi, Madam Shizi came here by herself."

The chief steward frowned deeply, Chun Qiao and Qiu Tong had good ears, how could they fail to hear the conversation between the servant girl and the chief steward, only to see Chun Qiao bent down and whispered something in Lou Yuan's ear, Lou Yuan raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the hall door.

When Dong Nuangu appeared in the front hall alone, everyone was surprised, including Mrs. Yu in the warm pavilion. After the surprise, her eyes were filled with cold satisfaction.

Only Lou Yuan was not surprised when he saw Dong Nuan, he just stood up slowly, smiled gently and said: "Could it be that even the son is sick in bed, so the wife of the son is here to receive Lou?"

The chief manager didn't know how to answer Lou Yuan's question at all, and Dong Nuan couldn't answer Lou Yuan's question, so he just looked at him with a cold face and a smile, Lou Yuan didn't mind, and just continued: " Lou was ordered by the king to congratulate the son and his wife, but this gift seems to be a few days late, I hope the wife of the son will not mind it."

While Lou Yuan was speaking, his attendants opened five large boxes in the hall, and all kinds of jewelry and cloth were valuable items at first glance, but he only said that these were given by the king to the crown prince and his wife The congratulatory gift did not mention that Si Kongming and Liu Yi only spoke half a word. In this way, it is the son of King Yi and the eighth lady of Zuoxiang's mansion who are worthy of the big celebrity in front of the king. Sikong Ming and Liu Yi have nothing to do with each other.

Dong Nuangu took a look at the congratulatory gift in the big box full of five people, and then turned her eyes to Lou Yuan. She could naturally hear what Lou Yuan meant by pointing out the words "Shizi and Mrs. Shizi" so that it could make people Lou Yuan came from Gyeonggi Province, not just to congratulate him.

Lou Yuan, from the first time she saw him, she felt that he must be a thoughtful person, not a simple person.

Dong Nuangu nodded slightly, and made a gesture of "Please sit down" to Lou Yuan, and Lou Yuan looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if he was exploring something on her face.

With just one look and one movement, Lou Yuan felt that Dong Nuan Gu today was completely different from the Eighth Miss whom he met at Zuo Xiang's Mansion nearly a month ago.

After Lou Yuan sat down again, Dong Nuangu glanced at Chun Qiao and Qiu Tong who were standing behind him, who had already changed their faces. Her eyes made Lou Yuan's eyes even more inquisitive.

Dong Nuan pretended to take a seat on the guest seat opposite Lou Yuan, but when she put her hand on the chair handle, a slightly urgent voice came from outside the hall, "A Nuan."

Lou Yuan followed the prestige, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

Si Jixia was very kind when facing Lou Yuan, not at all the alienation and indifference when facing Dongnuan. On the contrary, he is more like a real son, which surprised others who usually see him as inconspicuous, made Yu in the warm pavilion gnash his teeth, and made Dong Nuan look sideways at him.

And Lou Yuan, who was facing Si Jixia, was also very polite. There was nothing in his words like when he talked to the chief executive just now. He kept a kind smile on his face, but his eyes looked Si Jixia up and down. , and finally took a few more glances at the cloak on the right side of his body.

Lou Yuan didn't sit for long, about half an hour later he got up to say goodbye, but when he stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly remembered something, then turned around and said to Si Jixia: "My son, Lou has an unfeeling request, I don't know when Improper speaking."

"Your Majesty, it's okay to say it." Si Jixia's attitude was indifferent, and he didn't intend to curry favor just because the person in front of him was a famous person in front of the king.

"Lou once heard His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince mention that the prince has a good skill in making tea. I wonder if Lou can also enjoy this good fortune?"

"I'm afraid it will be inconvenient today. If Lord Right thinks highly of Ji Xia and is not in a hurry to leave Qingbi County, Ji Xia can go to the inn where Lord is staying and cook for him in person. I hope Lord will forgive me." Si Jixia said. He was polite, without the slightest hint of humility or inferiority, which made Dong Nuan Gu unable to take his eyes off him.
