Warm spring enters Hou's door
Chapter 71
Chapter 71
Under Gu Caiwei's attentive service, Du Juanqing ate all the food she sent, bite by bite.Even the bowl of goat milk stewed with sweet-scented osmanthus honey did not leave a drop.
In the end, he put down the empty bowl, wiped his mouth slowly, and then looked at her and said: "This dessert is good, I can make more in the future."
Yo, are you starting to order food so soon?
But for the sake of him helping her today, Gu Caiwei didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, so she just gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Master Hou doesn't know, there are still many desserts that I can make! You are afraid to eat just this one." I got tired of it within two days."
"Then change it." Du Juanqing changed his words immediately.
Gu Caiwei almost gritted her teeth.
What is pushing the nose up the face?What does it mean that if you give him a little sunshine, he will be brilliant?It was the man in front of me!
She smiled coldly. "Okay! When will you help me, Lord Hou, and when will I cook for you. There are so many delicacies from various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I will cook them all. I guarantee that you will not be able to eat them all in your lifetime!"
Du Juanqing's eyes lit up again, and then he nodded. "good."
you go!
Gu Caiwei put away the bowls and chopsticks directly. "Since Master Hou has finished eating, I will leave the concubine."
He turned around and left with the empty food box.
It wasn't until she was far away that Du Ren turned his head and looked into the study, and saw Du Juanqing still sitting there blankly, touching his chin with one hand, and smacking his mouth lightly at the same time, with a look of endless aftertaste.
The gloomy aura that surrounded him before disappeared, but a touch of joy leaped between his brows.
He has always been able to show his joy and anger directly on his face. Although it is very faint, except for those who have followed Du Juanqing for many years, he can't notice it at all, but Du Ren is still shocked when he sees this!
It's over! It's over!
He whispered in his heart.It seems that Master Hou really fell into the hands of this little lady!
Hey, it's rare for Master Hou to be tempted again. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?Their Mrs. Hou... Well, now he doesn't know what words to use to describe him.
I think he has been following Du Juanqing for so many years, and has met all kinds of young ladies, but he has never met a few men who are as agile, bold and simple as their Madam Hou!However, her temperament is the complete opposite of Lord Hou's gloom.With her here, Master Hou's originally gloomy world was lit up. Look, Master Hou has experienced joys, anger, sorrows and joys all over his body in the past few days. This is really not an easy task!
"So, this should be a good thing!" Du Ren murmured to himself in a low voice, but also kept his mouth shut, and did not go into the study to break Du Juanqing's good mood brought by Gu Caiwei.
But Gu Caiwei is in a bad mood right now.
Because it was so easy to finish serving the big one, when she dragged her tired body back, she saw that little guy Du Yi was already waiting for her with a slumped face.
"You have no conscience! If you have my father, you will forget about me!" As soon as he saw her, he angrily accused her loudly.
After finishing speaking, he shrunk his mouth, and two big teardrops swirled in his eyes, looking pitiful.
Gu Caiwei was very angry at his words, but when she saw his sour behavior again, she couldn't laugh or cry, she threw the food box to Liuli, and she went to grab his ears. "It's true that you haven't been on the house for three days, you little guy is itchy again, isn't it?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
Gu Caiwei didn't let him go, she pinched his ear and twisted it for a long time, until his little ear turned red, she reluctantly let go.
Du Yi hurriedly covered his ears and hid aside. A pair of tearful eyes cast a glance at her, and complained with a choked voice: "You bullied me again! I'm the one who was abandoned, why do you still bully me?"
Gu Caiwei was tired for a long time, her head was about to explode.
She turned around and went inside, asking, "I'm going to eat, do you want to eat? Forget it if you don't eat."
Du Yi didn't speak, but he followed in like a little tail.
The rest of the meal was still warming in the pot.Seeing Gu Caiwei came back, Hong Luan and the others hurriedly brought out the food, Gu Caiwei and Du Yi sat down and ate silently.
After eating, Gu Caiwei went to take a bath.When she came out with wet long hair, she unexpectedly found that Du Yi hadn't left yet!
"you……"
"Can I sleep with you again tonight?" Du Yi quickly glanced at her, then lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "What’s wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to sleep with you. Otherwise, when I turn seven in the second half of the year, I won't have any chance at all." Du Yi whispered.
Don't look at his cautious appearance, in fact, this little guy is just like his father, since he has decided to do something, he will definitely do it to the end!Now he just informed her, how dare she refuse to try?He won't go!
Gu Caiwei didn't bother to talk nonsense with him after she had already figured out his virtues.She was so tired that she just waved her hand. "It's up to you!"
Then went to bed and lay down.
Upon hearing this, Du Yi's face was brightened.Hurrying to take a shower and back, he climbed onto Gu Caiwei's bed lightly.
With the previous experience, he is now shameless.After getting under the quilt, he crawled directly to Gu Caiwei's side, hugged one of her arms, and rested his head on it, before letting out a comfortable breath.
Gu Caiwei rubbed his head casually. "Sleep!"
But Du Yi couldn't sleep.
"You are so kind to my father, I'm jealous." He whispered.
Gu Caiwei was so tired that she didn't bother to lift her face and eyelids, let alone talk, so he said his, and she slept with her eyes closed.
Du Yi didn't expect her to respond, so he continued: "I'm so scared, you and Dad will get well together, and you won't treat me alone in the future, will you? I only want you to treat me alone for the rest of my life. Good man, but I also know that this idea is unrealistic. But it is one thing to know this truth before, and seeing you going to eat with Dad today makes me feel very uncomfortable. Can you not go with him in the future?"
At the end, there was a bit of crying in his voice.
Gu Caiwei couldn't bear it anymore and pressed the back of his head to bury his little head in her arms. "Hurry up and go to sleep! You little guy, where are you thinking so much? Your father and I have no future, so don't worry!"
But hearing what she said, why did Du Yi feel more uncomfortable?
"Actually... I still hope that you will have a future, preferably in a long time." He couldn't help muttering again.Otherwise, how could he stay with her for a long time?
However, it is really ridiculous to talk about the future now.At least she still belongs to him now, and he has to seize the time to enjoy this rare good time!
Thinking in his heart, Du Yi hurriedly moved closer to her fragrant and soft body, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Nothing to say all night.Gu Caiwei had another night's dream. In the dream, she first took that dagger and killed all directions, and trampled Zhang Changzong under his feet. He was so scared that he froze and begged for mercy.Immediately after the screen jumps, it turned into she and Du Juanqing fighting in the wild, and the way the two fight is also very strange.She grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at him, he grabbed another handful of dirt and threw it back, and then she threw it again... In the end, both of them were thrown covered in dirt...
When Gu Caiwei woke up and opened her eyes, both of them had become two natives.
"What's the matter? How could I have such a dream?" Rubbing her head, she couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "It's all caused by Du's yesterday!"
Du Yi, who was getting dressed underground, shivered. "I didn't do anything!"
"I didn't mention you, but your father!" Gu Caiwei said angrily.
"Oh, that's it!" Du Yi quickly breathed a sigh of relief.Just looking at Gu Caiwei's still angry performance, his brows tightened slightly again.
When he saw the two of them appearing in the dining room holding hands again, Du Juan's cold eyes only glanced at his son before turning away. "Let's eat!"
Everyone took their seats, and then there was a complete silence.
After eating, Du Yi was about to go to morning class.Gu Caiwei was about to go back to her room to catch up on her sleep, but saw the housekeeper hurried in.
"Master Hou, Ma'am, there are people from Princess Taiping's residence again, and they say they want to invite Madam over to talk!"
"Again?" Hearing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help chuckling, "Master Hou, tell me, is it Princess Taiping herself who came to invite me today?"
"It shouldn't be fake." Du Juan said clearly.
"So, I really went there." Gu Caiwei was very helpless when he heard this.
Du Juan looked at her clearly. "The Marquis is with you."
what?
Originally, Gu Caiwei was just complaining casually.But now that Du Juanqing took the initiative to speak, she was almost taken aback!
"Master Hou, did I hear correctly?"
"You heard me right." Du Juan said clearly, "I will not allow what happened yesterday to happen again. So in the future, when you go out, I will accompany you."
Gu Caiwei couldn't help but touch her forehead. "That's not the case, is it? Obviously I was fine yesterday, even without you, I came back safe and sound."
"That's just your luck." Du Juan said coldly, "And after failing for the first time, do you think he will stop here instead of getting worse?"
Well, he had some truth to it.
Of course, the most important thing is that since this man has already made up his mind, she doesn't expect to persuade him to change his mind.Then take him with you. It just so happens that there are more people around me for extra protection, so she can really rest assured.
Seeing that Gu Caiwei no longer argued with him, Du Juanqing immediately ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, and went out with her grandly.
This time they went to Princess Taiping's other courtyard, but they didn't go out of the city, it was in a square in the east of the city.
Gu Caiwei and Du Juanqing got off the car at the place and were led to the inner courtyard, where they saw Princess Taiping lazily lying on a couch under a big willow tree, closing her eyes and dozing off.
There are still several good-looking young gentlemen around her, but among them, Zhang Changzong, who is known as the Liulang of the Lotus, is the most dazzling.
Seeing this scene, Du Junqing frowned.
Gu Caiwei has long been used to it, so she just stepped forward to salute Shi Shiran.
Princess Taiping didn't let her get up as readily as last time, but continued to sleep with her eyes closed for a long time before slowly opening them. "Ah, who did I say, so Madam Changning is here? Oh, the Marquis of Changning is here too? You guys came at the right time. I remember that my people have already gone out to invite you for an hour!"
She is just looking for trouble.The distance between her house and the Marquis of Changning is not short, even if it takes a car, it will take about a stick of incense.Coupled with the fact that there are people coming and going on the street in the early morning, the road is difficult to walk, and Gu Caiwei has to dress up after hearing the news, etc., it would be great if they could come here within an hour.
Gu Caiwei directly avoided this topic: "Because you called the princess in a hurry, I didn't have time to make pastries, so I can only come here empty-handed."
"Do you think this princess still cares about some of your pastries?" Princess Taiping's voice turned cold again when she heard this.
Gu Caiwei frowned, and suddenly heard the female officer next to Princess Taiping yell angrily: "Bold lunatics, you still don't kneel down for the princess!"
Gu Caiwei's chest shook violently when she heard the words, but she did not kneel down, but raised her head to look at Princess Taiping: "Princess, please explain clearly, what did we do to make you so angry?"
Princess Taiping lazily closed her eyes again, and the female officer at the side scolded: "Don't you think about what you did? Yesterday Liu Lang came back from the outside in a panic. Last night, he had nightmares again and again, and he is still in shock. Chang Ning Madam Hou, do you dare to say that this is not your fault?"
Oh, it turned out that Zhang Changzong came to a villain to sue first, so now Princess Taiping is going to stand out for his male favorite?
Gu Caiwei looked at Zhang Changzong who was sitting on the couch and offering his legs to make a pillow for Princess Taiping. Zhang Changzong immediately turned his head to meet her eyes, and he grinned at her with a murderous look.
Gu Caiwei twitched the corner of her mouth again. "I really want to know, how did he tell the princess about this?"
Only then did Princess Taiping speak. "Liulang, since Mrs. Changning Hou wants to hear what you have to say, you can tell her!"
"Yes." Zhang Changzong nodded quickly, and complained with a choked voice, "I saw that you have been depressed these days, princess, and you look very uncomfortable, so I wanted to go to the temple outside the city to pray for you. Who would have thought that I As soon as I rode a horse ten miles outside the city, I ran into Mrs. Changninghou who was out for an outing. Seeing that I was alone, Mrs. Changninghou wanted me to get into her carriage, saying that she hadn’t seen me for a long time and wanted to catch up with me. I don't agree, but she actually asked someone to pull me towards her and force me to submit! If I resisted again, she would show her knife, and if I continued to make trouble, she would smear my face and make me suffer. I can never go back to serve you, Princess!"
"But I am a princess, and I only have you in my heart. No matter how hard she forces me, I would rather die than surrender. So she became angry and wanted to treat me... Fortunately, the two guards around me were loyal to protect the Lord and tried their best I struggled with them, but in the end I ended up with one dead and one wounded. It was also because of them that I managed to get out of my body, but, but... just thinking about yesterday's scene, I still feel chills all over. I did it last night. A night of nightmares!"
A big man is crying like a child, is he disgusting?
Although this man is really good-looking, and no matter whether he is pretending to be weak or charming, he has his own style, which does not violate harmony at all.However, after hearing his words that confuse black and white, Gu Caiwei was still deeply disgusted.
After crying, Zhang Changzong wiped away his tears, and looked at Princess Taiping pitifully: "I also ask the princess to be the master for me!"
Princess Taiping looked at Gu Caiwei. "Mrs. Changning Hou, what else can you say about this matter?"
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Princess, you are a smart person. You have seen my attitude towards Mr. Zhang Liulang every time before. I am not interested in him at all. If this is the case, why do I have to fight hard when I meet him outside?" Taking advantage of him? It doesn't make any sense at all. Let alone the fact that I don't care about your face, the princess, and I will force him to submit. Just because of a man, am I going to offend you, the princess? I'm not impatient Already!"
"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe you pretended not to be interested in him on purpose before? It's just because you know he is my pet, so you dare not mess around in front of me. But I was not here yesterday, you lonely man Widow, you will naturally become more courageous." Princess Taiping said coldly.
Gu Caiwei sneered.
Princess Taiping's eyes darkened. "why are you laughing?"
"She's laughing. It's not that she doesn't have men. Why should she care about other men?" Du Juanqing's voice suddenly sounded.Gu Caiwei didn't turn her head, she realized that this man had come to stand beside her.
With him by his side, Gu Caiwei inexplicably felt at ease.
She nodded quickly. "Princess Mingjian. I am not a person without a husband. In my opinion, my husband is far superior to Mr. Zhang Liulang in terms of appearance, background, and even talent. We have only been married for more than a year, but we really get along It's been less than three months. I haven't enjoyed my husband-in-law's tenderness enough yet, how can I care about the men outside? Husband, don't you think so?"
Hearing her words, Du Juan glanced at her before nodding. "Our husband and wife have a very good relationship. It is impossible for her to do such a thing as looking for another man behind her back."
"Then Marquis Changning, you must have been deceived by her!" Seeing Zhang Changzong, he hurriedly yelled, "Your wife has always been restless in the room. Long before she married you, she had fooled around with her brother-in-law. After marrying you, you went out for a year, how did she spend her loneliness during this year, do you know?"
"Benhou's wife, you, a male favorite, have the right to comment!"
Du Juanqing's expression darkened immediately, and he scolded in a cold voice.
Zhang Changzong was startled for a moment, and immediately shut up.
Du Juan turned to Princess Taiping again. "Princess, you are not a fool. I don't believe you don't understand the truth of what happened yesterday. My wife is a weak woman. She was tricked out of the house for no reason and taken to the outskirts of the city. She was once called Every day should not be called the ground is not working, who can understand the sorrow in her heart? Poor her desperately fought, and only one guard died. It was a restless afternoon. It was so easy for her to return home safely, and we only relaxed for one night, but now your male favorite bites back and puts all the responsibility on her? Do you think that with her background and our Marquis of Changning The aptitude of the government, do we dare to do such a thing? How can we have such a great ability to go against the princess mansion?"
Hearing this, Princess Taiping frowned and fell into deep thought.
But Zhang Changzong yelled again: "Princess, don't listen to his nonsense! This Gu family is not a weak woman. She and her maidservant can beat a man together!"
"You also said that it takes two people working together to deal with a man. Yesterday they went out with two masters and servants, but you brought two guards and borrowed a maid and a coachman from the princess mansion. There are so many of you, Against the two of them, do you think they can beat everyone around you away and snatch you away? Then unless they have some daunting magic weapons in their hands, it is completely nonsense!" Du Juanqing spoke loudly again the way.
"They just have magical weapons! That dagger..." Zhang Changzong hurriedly said.
"A dagger?" Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help interjecting, "Liulang, you don't want to say that these two weak girls killed one of your men and injured one of them with just a dagger, and you don't even want to say that you can't do that. Let you run away?"
Zhang Changzong's face turned pale, but he still nodded. "Back to the princess, that's right!"
"Ha ha."
Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help chuckling several times.
Zhang Changzong's mouth trembled. "Princess, what I say is true, you must believe me!"
"Hey!" Princess Taiping sighed softly, "Liulang, I have given you several chances, but why don't you cherish them every time?"
Zhang Changzong's expression changed again when he heard the words. "Princess, what do you mean by that?"
Princess Taiping's complexion had already turned gloomy at this time, but now her gloomy target was Zhang Changzong, not Gu Caiwei and Du Juanqing.
"Liulang, although you haven't been with me for long, I already knew exactly what kind of temperament you are. Don't you just rely on your good looks, wishing that all the women in this world would be fascinated by you Is it? If you can’t get caught by you once or twice, you will try every means to tease her until you get her hands on her. You have gone out behind my back many times before, but because of your love, I would like to , I just turned a blind eye and ignored it. But this time, you really went too far."
"Princess, I don't!" Zhang Changzong's mouth was trembling, he whispered his grievances, but he had no confidence.
Princess Taiping looked at him coldly. "Have you, you know it in your heart, the Marquis of Changning knows it, and so do I. This matter is that after you failed to hook up with Mrs. Changning Hou and was beaten, you deliberately came to me to make a false accusation, trying to use my hands Come teach her a lesson."
Speaking of this, not only her face, but also her voice became gloomy. "It's fine for you to rely on my power to do your best outside, but now you are so bold that you still want to make up nonsense to make me work for you? You are so brave!"
Zhang Changzong immediately knelt down with a plop.
"Princess Mingjian, the little one doesn't mean that! The little one..."
"That's what you mean." Princess Taiping said coldly.
Zhang Changzong was speechless immediately.
Princess Taiping sighed again. "Since yesterday, I have been giving you a chance. Until just now, I was waiting for you to say that this was just a joke you made casually, and then the matter would be exposed. But you refused to let me go To regain face from Mrs. Changning Hou, you are still trying to persuade me to do something to her! Liulang, your thoughts are really getting more and more vicious!"
Zhang Changzong was already trembling with fright at this time, he could not utter a complete sentence in his mouth.
Princess Taiping sighed lightly, then waved her hands. "Forget it, now that I've talked to this point, I naturally want to give an explanation to the Marquis of Changning. Come, take Liulang down, beat him thirty times, and relegate him to the third-class male favourite!"
"Princess, don't!" Upon hearing this, the blood on Zhang Changzong's face faded instantly, and he quickly raised his head and shouted.
However, Princess Taiping didn't even pay attention to him at all, and watched the people come to drag him away without even blinking her eyelids.
Soon, Zhang Changzong was beaten and dragged down.Princess Taiping also waved her hand: "Okay, all of you who are redundant, step down, and let me have a good talk with Changning Hou and his wife."
The people around, including the male pets, all retreated, leaving only two female officials to serve beside Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping raised her eyes and smiled at Gu Caiwei again. "Could it be, were you really scared at first?"
"No." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "I know princess, you are not a person who doesn't discriminate between right and wrong. Especially the crying of a male favorite will not make you lose your sense of control."
Princess Taiping nodded. "That's natural. There are many good-looking young men in this world, and there is no shortage of him. I pampered him before, just because he has a sweet mouth and can talk, and he can make troubles in bed. It really makes me happy. , then I am naturally willing to give him a little face. It's just that men's pets are just a thing. I'm willing to pet him, that's my business, but if he really takes himself seriously, that's not okay. Today I Just let him know where he is!"
Gu Caiwei bowed her head. "Thank you princess."
"There's no need for this thank you letter. Originally, this matter was an innocent disaster for you." Princess Taiping said slowly, "And how did I hear that the Marquis of Changning took people inside and outside Chang'an city to find you yesterday afternoon? Has it been searched?"
When she said this, she took on a bit of teasing, and looked at Gu Caiwei with a half-smile in her eyes.
Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly. "Isn't it? At first I really thought it was the princess looking for me! It turned out that something was wrong halfway, and then Mr. Zhang Liulang came out. But none of their people had been beaten, so we drove them away quickly. I left. Then, thinking that I have come here, I can’t make a trip in vain, so I went to the house that you gave me, princess. In fact, I didn’t do anything. I have already found out that something is wrong, and started looking for me all over the world. I would have known that they were like this, I would definitely not run around, and after driving people away, I hurried back."
Originally, I wanted to see her jokes, but I didn't expect Gu Caiwei to explain the cause and effect to her so honestly, and the tone was so sincere that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Princess Taiping looked at Du Juanqing who was silent again. "However, this seems to be the first time I've seen Marquis Changning so anxious! I vaguely remember that seven years ago, you and Duke Lai had a big fight and wanted to marry your childhood sweetheart to come in. You are just father and son behind closed doors. There was a commotion. But this time, you almost turned people upside down inside and outside Chang'an City. From this point of view, you seem to care more about your current wife than the previous one?"
Du Jun responded calmly. "The princess was joking. If the same thing happens to my first lady, I will send out all the horses to save her."
"All right!"
When mentioning the failure of molesting, Princess Taiping suddenly lost the mood to joke, and turned her eyes to Gu Caiwei again: "Although what happened yesterday was Liu Lang's fault, but I have a question about the cause and effect of that incident after I heard about it. Very interested—it seems that you were able to successfully drive Liu Lang and the others away, is it really thanks to a dagger?"
Gu Caiwei's heart sank.
Sure enough, it was careless.Princess Taiping specially asked her to come here today. All the rhetoric about venting her anger for Zhang Changzong or taking this opportunity to teach Zhang Changzong a lesson are all excuses. Her real purpose is actually this!
Gu Caiwei quickly turned her head to exchange a look with Du Juanqing, and saw Du Juanqing was about to speak.But Princess Taiping interrupted him directly: "Marquis Changning, this princess is asking your wife now, you should let her answer me!"
Gu Caiwei had no choice but to take out the dagger hidden in her waist. "My Lord Hou accidentally got a piece of refined iron when he was looking for a famous doctor outside, and then someone introduced him to a blacksmith with extraordinary skills. Lord Hou gave him the refined iron and entrusted him to make two daggers. After returning to Chang'an, Lord Hou gave me this dagger as an apology in order to express his apology for his negligence in the past year. There is another one, which is now on Shi Zi's body."
The female officer took the dagger and handed it to Princess Taiping.Princess Taiping weighed it in her hand, then sheathed the scabbard, and saw a flash of cold light in front of her eyes, but it was all absorbed by the simple and simple lines on the dagger immediately.
She stared at the dagger carefully, looked again and again, and then lightly stroked the soft couch beside her, and after hearing a soft sound, a corner of the soft couch was directly cut off by her.
Princess Taiping gasped suddenly. "This dagger is so sharp!"
She hurriedly asked Du Juanqing again: "Where did you find that refined iron? Do you have any more?"
"Princess Qi, fine iron is a rare thing in the world. It is a great blessing for me to get a small piece by accident. How can I expect to get more?" Du Juanqing shook his head, "And this fine iron is also a rare thing. Someone gave it to me, but I heard him talk about the origin of fine iron."
Afterwards, he explained the general situation, and Gu Caiwei only remembered one place name - Changlai County.
Princess Taiping also caught this information, and she repeated the name in a low voice before sheathing the dagger and letting someone return it to Gu Caiwei. "A gentleman does not take what others like. Since this is an apology from the Marquis of Changning, then you can keep it! But if it is not necessary in the future, it is better not to take it out. This dagger is too sharp, be careful if it is caught Others steal and do bad things."
"Thank you princess for reminding me, I understand." Gu Caiwei nodded quickly.
Having said that, Princess Taiping couldn't help but yawned, she was exhausted.
Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
It was not until returning to Hou's mansion that Gu Caiwei finally let go of her hanging heart.She quickly patted her chest: "Princess Taiping's mind is really sharp! From so many messy information, she grasped the existence of this dagger at the first time, and then traced it to the end. Her Majesty's A biological daughter is indeed extraordinary!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Du Juanqing beside her, and saw this man with a cold face and an unhappy expression.
Of course he won't be happy.
The iron ore he was carefully holding was exposed and was targeted by someone because of such a incident. No wonder he would be happy!
Gu Caiwei thought for a while before she asked him in a low voice, "Is the Changlai County you mentioned reliable?"
Du Juan nodded. "It's a county not far from Yongxing County. There are indeed iron ore unearthed there all the time, but they are all small mines. If you search hard, you can indeed find some small pieces of refined iron."
Hearing what he said with such certainty, he probably expected such a day would come, so he made preparations early in the morning.
Gu Caiwei was relieved. "That's good, that's good. However, since Princess Taiping has set her sights on that place, other people will definitely follow her there. The small Changlai County is definitely not enough for them to spoil, so Changlai The counties and towns around the county will definitely be found by them one by one."
In other words, even if Du Juanqing can now completely cover up the iron mines on his fief, he still can't hold back so many powerful people to ask the bottom line together!If things go on like this, it will be a matter of time before that piece of iron ore is discovered.
and so……
"We have to find a big backer for this iron mine." Du Juan said in a deep voice.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "It will happen sooner or later. It's just that have you thought about who to join?"
Du Juanqing heard her, but looked at her. "Who do you think is the most suitable?"
"I'm just a bumpkin from the countryside. The most powerful person I know in Chang'an City is Princess Taiping. Otherwise, we'll find her?" Gu Caiwei mentioned casually.
"No." Du Juanqing refused on the spot.
"Why?" Gu Caiwei was very unconvinced, "You look down on women, don't you?"
"It's not that I look down on women, but that although Princess Taiping has shown great enthusiasm for political affairs, Her Majesty the Empress clearly has no intention of letting her participate in political affairs. Her influence in the court is not as good as that of the Wu family. She is now a member of the Wu family. My daughter-in-law, do you believe that if we give her the iron ore at the front, the iron ore at the back will be snatched by the Wu family and held in the palm of my hand?" Du Juan said calmly.
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Then tell me, who is the most suitable for you?"
"I've thought about it these days, and there is indeed a candidate I can consider." Du Juanqing then said.
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "Since you've already thought about it, why are you pretending to ask me? What do you mean?"
Du Juanqing did not answer her, but said slowly: "After thinking about it, the only person in Chang'an who is highly respected and trusted by Her Majesty is Dige. Although he was the one who helped Her Majesty ascend the throne , but the reason why most of the children of the Li Tang royal family have survived these years is also thanks to his protection. He is an upright person, and he is dedicated to serving the country. Now he is the only one who knows the existence of this iron mine and will not give birth to it. mind."
Gu Caiwei's eyes lit up. "You mean, the current prime minister, Di Renjie, old Di Ge?"
Du Juan nodded. "Exactly."
"This person is indeed credible." Gu Caiwei said in a low voice.
"It's just..." Immediately heard Du Juanqing sigh again, "Di Ge is old and frail, and his health has become worse and worse in recent years. Now he is suffering from arthralgia, and his movements are very slow. Now unless necessary, He doesn't even go to court, let alone come out to see people? How many people go to his house to ask for an audience now may not be able to see him."
He sighed in a depressed mood, but Gu Caiwei smiled indifferently. "Isn't it just a paralysis? What's the big deal? I can cure it!"
Du Juanqing immediately turned to her. "Are you sure it can be cured? This problem is not easy to cure. Now Her Majesty has specially sent an imperial doctor to give him acupuncture every day. The medicinal materials are also selected and sent to him, but it can only guarantee that his condition is not bad." It's just getting worse."
"They guarantee that his condition will not deteriorate, then I can make him significantly better. Even if it can't be cured, at least it will be fine to increase your energy and walk around more." Gu Caiwei laughed.
Du Juanqing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you know how much risk you will take if you say this in front of Mr. Di Ge?"
Gu Caiwei blinked, puzzled.
Du Juanqing patiently explained to her: "Di Ge is old, and now the imperial physicians sent by Her Majesty the Empress are also treating him with trepidation, for fear that if something happens to her, their lives will be at stake! After all, they Only in this way can you maintain Di Ge’s condition in the current stable state, but you jump out and say that you can cure better, isn’t that a slap in the face of the imperial doctor? And you, a person who has never practiced medicine, say such things, you How many people do you think will believe it? Even if they really believe it, it would be best if you keep your word and make Mr. Di Ge get better. If he doesn’t get better, let alone you, our entire Hou Mansion will bear the wrath of Her Majesty the Queen together. Have you ever considered any of this?"
Gu Caiwei blinked again. "Are you thinking too much?"
Du Juan was stunned, and Gu Caiwei said: "I told you earlier, I am studying diet therapy, but I am not on the same path as those imperial doctors. We don't need to say it clearly at the beginning when we go to treat Mr. Di Ge! Make something for him first, and he will take it first, and he can also take the medicine given to him by the imperial doctor. Since it is for the same disease, the general medicinal materials will not be incompatible. But as long as he eats slowly , found that the situation has improved a lot! He will naturally find out the reason, and then he can come to us on his own initiative!"
Du Juan was silent for a long time, only staring at her for a long time with a pair of eyes.
"You have a good idea." Finally, he said something sullenly.
Gu Caiwei nodded triumphantly. "Of course! Back then, I used this method to fool many people!"
Du Juanqing's mouth twitched again. "But Mr. Di Ge is not such an easy person to fool."
"It's almost the same!" Gu Caiwei waved her hand indifferently, "Since he is a patient, I have a lot of ways to make him eat what I made, and then take the initiative to move closer to me. By the way, let me think about what his old man likes. What to eat... I know, drink!"
Immediately thought of it, Gu Caiwei nodded happily. "I see. I'm going to brew a jar of medicinal wine right now, and I'll find a way to drink it for him later!"
She was thinking about it with great interest, but she didn't realize that Du Juanqing's eyes beside her had become much deeper.
"How do you know that Di Ge always likes to drink?" He suddenly asked.
(End of this chapter)
Under Gu Caiwei's attentive service, Du Juanqing ate all the food she sent, bite by bite.Even the bowl of goat milk stewed with sweet-scented osmanthus honey did not leave a drop.
In the end, he put down the empty bowl, wiped his mouth slowly, and then looked at her and said: "This dessert is good, I can make more in the future."
Yo, are you starting to order food so soon?
But for the sake of him helping her today, Gu Caiwei didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, so she just gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Master Hou doesn't know, there are still many desserts that I can make! You are afraid to eat just this one." I got tired of it within two days."
"Then change it." Du Juanqing changed his words immediately.
Gu Caiwei almost gritted her teeth.
What is pushing the nose up the face?What does it mean that if you give him a little sunshine, he will be brilliant?It was the man in front of me!
She smiled coldly. "Okay! When will you help me, Lord Hou, and when will I cook for you. There are so many delicacies from various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I will cook them all. I guarantee that you will not be able to eat them all in your lifetime!"
Du Juanqing's eyes lit up again, and then he nodded. "good."
you go!
Gu Caiwei put away the bowls and chopsticks directly. "Since Master Hou has finished eating, I will leave the concubine."
He turned around and left with the empty food box.
It wasn't until she was far away that Du Ren turned his head and looked into the study, and saw Du Juanqing still sitting there blankly, touching his chin with one hand, and smacking his mouth lightly at the same time, with a look of endless aftertaste.
The gloomy aura that surrounded him before disappeared, but a touch of joy leaped between his brows.
He has always been able to show his joy and anger directly on his face. Although it is very faint, except for those who have followed Du Juanqing for many years, he can't notice it at all, but Du Ren is still shocked when he sees this!
It's over! It's over!
He whispered in his heart.It seems that Master Hou really fell into the hands of this little lady!
Hey, it's rare for Master Hou to be tempted again. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?Their Mrs. Hou... Well, now he doesn't know what words to use to describe him.
I think he has been following Du Juanqing for so many years, and has met all kinds of young ladies, but he has never met a few men who are as agile, bold and simple as their Madam Hou!However, her temperament is the complete opposite of Lord Hou's gloom.With her here, Master Hou's originally gloomy world was lit up. Look, Master Hou has experienced joys, anger, sorrows and joys all over his body in the past few days. This is really not an easy task!
"So, this should be a good thing!" Du Ren murmured to himself in a low voice, but also kept his mouth shut, and did not go into the study to break Du Juanqing's good mood brought by Gu Caiwei.
But Gu Caiwei is in a bad mood right now.
Because it was so easy to finish serving the big one, when she dragged her tired body back, she saw that little guy Du Yi was already waiting for her with a slumped face.
"You have no conscience! If you have my father, you will forget about me!" As soon as he saw her, he angrily accused her loudly.
After finishing speaking, he shrunk his mouth, and two big teardrops swirled in his eyes, looking pitiful.
Gu Caiwei was very angry at his words, but when she saw his sour behavior again, she couldn't laugh or cry, she threw the food box to Liuli, and she went to grab his ears. "It's true that you haven't been on the house for three days, you little guy is itchy again, isn't it?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?
Gu Caiwei didn't let him go, she pinched his ear and twisted it for a long time, until his little ear turned red, she reluctantly let go.
Du Yi hurriedly covered his ears and hid aside. A pair of tearful eyes cast a glance at her, and complained with a choked voice: "You bullied me again! I'm the one who was abandoned, why do you still bully me?"
Gu Caiwei was tired for a long time, her head was about to explode.
She turned around and went inside, asking, "I'm going to eat, do you want to eat? Forget it if you don't eat."
Du Yi didn't speak, but he followed in like a little tail.
The rest of the meal was still warming in the pot.Seeing Gu Caiwei came back, Hong Luan and the others hurriedly brought out the food, Gu Caiwei and Du Yi sat down and ate silently.
After eating, Gu Caiwei went to take a bath.When she came out with wet long hair, she unexpectedly found that Du Yi hadn't left yet!
"you……"
"Can I sleep with you again tonight?" Du Yi quickly glanced at her, then lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "What’s wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to sleep with you. Otherwise, when I turn seven in the second half of the year, I won't have any chance at all." Du Yi whispered.
Don't look at his cautious appearance, in fact, this little guy is just like his father, since he has decided to do something, he will definitely do it to the end!Now he just informed her, how dare she refuse to try?He won't go!
Gu Caiwei didn't bother to talk nonsense with him after she had already figured out his virtues.She was so tired that she just waved her hand. "It's up to you!"
Then went to bed and lay down.
Upon hearing this, Du Yi's face was brightened.Hurrying to take a shower and back, he climbed onto Gu Caiwei's bed lightly.
With the previous experience, he is now shameless.After getting under the quilt, he crawled directly to Gu Caiwei's side, hugged one of her arms, and rested his head on it, before letting out a comfortable breath.
Gu Caiwei rubbed his head casually. "Sleep!"
But Du Yi couldn't sleep.
"You are so kind to my father, I'm jealous." He whispered.
Gu Caiwei was so tired that she didn't bother to lift her face and eyelids, let alone talk, so he said his, and she slept with her eyes closed.
Du Yi didn't expect her to respond, so he continued: "I'm so scared, you and Dad will get well together, and you won't treat me alone in the future, will you? I only want you to treat me alone for the rest of my life. Good man, but I also know that this idea is unrealistic. But it is one thing to know this truth before, and seeing you going to eat with Dad today makes me feel very uncomfortable. Can you not go with him in the future?"
At the end, there was a bit of crying in his voice.
Gu Caiwei couldn't bear it anymore and pressed the back of his head to bury his little head in her arms. "Hurry up and go to sleep! You little guy, where are you thinking so much? Your father and I have no future, so don't worry!"
But hearing what she said, why did Du Yi feel more uncomfortable?
"Actually... I still hope that you will have a future, preferably in a long time." He couldn't help muttering again.Otherwise, how could he stay with her for a long time?
However, it is really ridiculous to talk about the future now.At least she still belongs to him now, and he has to seize the time to enjoy this rare good time!
Thinking in his heart, Du Yi hurriedly moved closer to her fragrant and soft body, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Nothing to say all night.Gu Caiwei had another night's dream. In the dream, she first took that dagger and killed all directions, and trampled Zhang Changzong under his feet. He was so scared that he froze and begged for mercy.Immediately after the screen jumps, it turned into she and Du Juanqing fighting in the wild, and the way the two fight is also very strange.She grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at him, he grabbed another handful of dirt and threw it back, and then she threw it again... In the end, both of them were thrown covered in dirt...
When Gu Caiwei woke up and opened her eyes, both of them had become two natives.
"What's the matter? How could I have such a dream?" Rubbing her head, she couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "It's all caused by Du's yesterday!"
Du Yi, who was getting dressed underground, shivered. "I didn't do anything!"
"I didn't mention you, but your father!" Gu Caiwei said angrily.
"Oh, that's it!" Du Yi quickly breathed a sigh of relief.Just looking at Gu Caiwei's still angry performance, his brows tightened slightly again.
When he saw the two of them appearing in the dining room holding hands again, Du Juan's cold eyes only glanced at his son before turning away. "Let's eat!"
Everyone took their seats, and then there was a complete silence.
After eating, Du Yi was about to go to morning class.Gu Caiwei was about to go back to her room to catch up on her sleep, but saw the housekeeper hurried in.
"Master Hou, Ma'am, there are people from Princess Taiping's residence again, and they say they want to invite Madam over to talk!"
"Again?" Hearing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't help chuckling, "Master Hou, tell me, is it Princess Taiping herself who came to invite me today?"
"It shouldn't be fake." Du Juan said clearly.
"So, I really went there." Gu Caiwei was very helpless when he heard this.
Du Juan looked at her clearly. "The Marquis is with you."
what?
Originally, Gu Caiwei was just complaining casually.But now that Du Juanqing took the initiative to speak, she was almost taken aback!
"Master Hou, did I hear correctly?"
"You heard me right." Du Juan said clearly, "I will not allow what happened yesterday to happen again. So in the future, when you go out, I will accompany you."
Gu Caiwei couldn't help but touch her forehead. "That's not the case, is it? Obviously I was fine yesterday, even without you, I came back safe and sound."
"That's just your luck." Du Juan said coldly, "And after failing for the first time, do you think he will stop here instead of getting worse?"
Well, he had some truth to it.
Of course, the most important thing is that since this man has already made up his mind, she doesn't expect to persuade him to change his mind.Then take him with you. It just so happens that there are more people around me for extra protection, so she can really rest assured.
Seeing that Gu Caiwei no longer argued with him, Du Juanqing immediately ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, and went out with her grandly.
This time they went to Princess Taiping's other courtyard, but they didn't go out of the city, it was in a square in the east of the city.
Gu Caiwei and Du Juanqing got off the car at the place and were led to the inner courtyard, where they saw Princess Taiping lazily lying on a couch under a big willow tree, closing her eyes and dozing off.
There are still several good-looking young gentlemen around her, but among them, Zhang Changzong, who is known as the Liulang of the Lotus, is the most dazzling.
Seeing this scene, Du Junqing frowned.
Gu Caiwei has long been used to it, so she just stepped forward to salute Shi Shiran.
Princess Taiping didn't let her get up as readily as last time, but continued to sleep with her eyes closed for a long time before slowly opening them. "Ah, who did I say, so Madam Changning is here? Oh, the Marquis of Changning is here too? You guys came at the right time. I remember that my people have already gone out to invite you for an hour!"
She is just looking for trouble.The distance between her house and the Marquis of Changning is not short, even if it takes a car, it will take about a stick of incense.Coupled with the fact that there are people coming and going on the street in the early morning, the road is difficult to walk, and Gu Caiwei has to dress up after hearing the news, etc., it would be great if they could come here within an hour.
Gu Caiwei directly avoided this topic: "Because you called the princess in a hurry, I didn't have time to make pastries, so I can only come here empty-handed."
"Do you think this princess still cares about some of your pastries?" Princess Taiping's voice turned cold again when she heard this.
Gu Caiwei frowned, and suddenly heard the female officer next to Princess Taiping yell angrily: "Bold lunatics, you still don't kneel down for the princess!"
Gu Caiwei's chest shook violently when she heard the words, but she did not kneel down, but raised her head to look at Princess Taiping: "Princess, please explain clearly, what did we do to make you so angry?"
Princess Taiping lazily closed her eyes again, and the female officer at the side scolded: "Don't you think about what you did? Yesterday Liu Lang came back from the outside in a panic. Last night, he had nightmares again and again, and he is still in shock. Chang Ning Madam Hou, do you dare to say that this is not your fault?"
Oh, it turned out that Zhang Changzong came to a villain to sue first, so now Princess Taiping is going to stand out for his male favorite?
Gu Caiwei looked at Zhang Changzong who was sitting on the couch and offering his legs to make a pillow for Princess Taiping. Zhang Changzong immediately turned his head to meet her eyes, and he grinned at her with a murderous look.
Gu Caiwei twitched the corner of her mouth again. "I really want to know, how did he tell the princess about this?"
Only then did Princess Taiping speak. "Liulang, since Mrs. Changning Hou wants to hear what you have to say, you can tell her!"
"Yes." Zhang Changzong nodded quickly, and complained with a choked voice, "I saw that you have been depressed these days, princess, and you look very uncomfortable, so I wanted to go to the temple outside the city to pray for you. Who would have thought that I As soon as I rode a horse ten miles outside the city, I ran into Mrs. Changninghou who was out for an outing. Seeing that I was alone, Mrs. Changninghou wanted me to get into her carriage, saying that she hadn’t seen me for a long time and wanted to catch up with me. I don't agree, but she actually asked someone to pull me towards her and force me to submit! If I resisted again, she would show her knife, and if I continued to make trouble, she would smear my face and make me suffer. I can never go back to serve you, Princess!"
"But I am a princess, and I only have you in my heart. No matter how hard she forces me, I would rather die than surrender. So she became angry and wanted to treat me... Fortunately, the two guards around me were loyal to protect the Lord and tried their best I struggled with them, but in the end I ended up with one dead and one wounded. It was also because of them that I managed to get out of my body, but, but... just thinking about yesterday's scene, I still feel chills all over. I did it last night. A night of nightmares!"
A big man is crying like a child, is he disgusting?
Although this man is really good-looking, and no matter whether he is pretending to be weak or charming, he has his own style, which does not violate harmony at all.However, after hearing his words that confuse black and white, Gu Caiwei was still deeply disgusted.
After crying, Zhang Changzong wiped away his tears, and looked at Princess Taiping pitifully: "I also ask the princess to be the master for me!"
Princess Taiping looked at Gu Caiwei. "Mrs. Changning Hou, what else can you say about this matter?"
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Princess, you are a smart person. You have seen my attitude towards Mr. Zhang Liulang every time before. I am not interested in him at all. If this is the case, why do I have to fight hard when I meet him outside?" Taking advantage of him? It doesn't make any sense at all. Let alone the fact that I don't care about your face, the princess, and I will force him to submit. Just because of a man, am I going to offend you, the princess? I'm not impatient Already!"
"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe you pretended not to be interested in him on purpose before? It's just because you know he is my pet, so you dare not mess around in front of me. But I was not here yesterday, you lonely man Widow, you will naturally become more courageous." Princess Taiping said coldly.
Gu Caiwei sneered.
Princess Taiping's eyes darkened. "why are you laughing?"
"She's laughing. It's not that she doesn't have men. Why should she care about other men?" Du Juanqing's voice suddenly sounded.Gu Caiwei didn't turn her head, she realized that this man had come to stand beside her.
With him by his side, Gu Caiwei inexplicably felt at ease.
She nodded quickly. "Princess Mingjian. I am not a person without a husband. In my opinion, my husband is far superior to Mr. Zhang Liulang in terms of appearance, background, and even talent. We have only been married for more than a year, but we really get along It's been less than three months. I haven't enjoyed my husband-in-law's tenderness enough yet, how can I care about the men outside? Husband, don't you think so?"
Hearing her words, Du Juan glanced at her before nodding. "Our husband and wife have a very good relationship. It is impossible for her to do such a thing as looking for another man behind her back."
"Then Marquis Changning, you must have been deceived by her!" Seeing Zhang Changzong, he hurriedly yelled, "Your wife has always been restless in the room. Long before she married you, she had fooled around with her brother-in-law. After marrying you, you went out for a year, how did she spend her loneliness during this year, do you know?"
"Benhou's wife, you, a male favorite, have the right to comment!"
Du Juanqing's expression darkened immediately, and he scolded in a cold voice.
Zhang Changzong was startled for a moment, and immediately shut up.
Du Juan turned to Princess Taiping again. "Princess, you are not a fool. I don't believe you don't understand the truth of what happened yesterday. My wife is a weak woman. She was tricked out of the house for no reason and taken to the outskirts of the city. She was once called Every day should not be called the ground is not working, who can understand the sorrow in her heart? Poor her desperately fought, and only one guard died. It was a restless afternoon. It was so easy for her to return home safely, and we only relaxed for one night, but now your male favorite bites back and puts all the responsibility on her? Do you think that with her background and our Marquis of Changning The aptitude of the government, do we dare to do such a thing? How can we have such a great ability to go against the princess mansion?"
Hearing this, Princess Taiping frowned and fell into deep thought.
But Zhang Changzong yelled again: "Princess, don't listen to his nonsense! This Gu family is not a weak woman. She and her maidservant can beat a man together!"
"You also said that it takes two people working together to deal with a man. Yesterday they went out with two masters and servants, but you brought two guards and borrowed a maid and a coachman from the princess mansion. There are so many of you, Against the two of them, do you think they can beat everyone around you away and snatch you away? Then unless they have some daunting magic weapons in their hands, it is completely nonsense!" Du Juanqing spoke loudly again the way.
"They just have magical weapons! That dagger..." Zhang Changzong hurriedly said.
"A dagger?" Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help interjecting, "Liulang, you don't want to say that these two weak girls killed one of your men and injured one of them with just a dagger, and you don't even want to say that you can't do that. Let you run away?"
Zhang Changzong's face turned pale, but he still nodded. "Back to the princess, that's right!"
"Ha ha."
Hearing this, Princess Taiping couldn't help chuckling several times.
Zhang Changzong's mouth trembled. "Princess, what I say is true, you must believe me!"
"Hey!" Princess Taiping sighed softly, "Liulang, I have given you several chances, but why don't you cherish them every time?"
Zhang Changzong's expression changed again when he heard the words. "Princess, what do you mean by that?"
Princess Taiping's complexion had already turned gloomy at this time, but now her gloomy target was Zhang Changzong, not Gu Caiwei and Du Juanqing.
"Liulang, although you haven't been with me for long, I already knew exactly what kind of temperament you are. Don't you just rely on your good looks, wishing that all the women in this world would be fascinated by you Is it? If you can’t get caught by you once or twice, you will try every means to tease her until you get her hands on her. You have gone out behind my back many times before, but because of your love, I would like to , I just turned a blind eye and ignored it. But this time, you really went too far."
"Princess, I don't!" Zhang Changzong's mouth was trembling, he whispered his grievances, but he had no confidence.
Princess Taiping looked at him coldly. "Have you, you know it in your heart, the Marquis of Changning knows it, and so do I. This matter is that after you failed to hook up with Mrs. Changning Hou and was beaten, you deliberately came to me to make a false accusation, trying to use my hands Come teach her a lesson."
Speaking of this, not only her face, but also her voice became gloomy. "It's fine for you to rely on my power to do your best outside, but now you are so bold that you still want to make up nonsense to make me work for you? You are so brave!"
Zhang Changzong immediately knelt down with a plop.
"Princess Mingjian, the little one doesn't mean that! The little one..."
"That's what you mean." Princess Taiping said coldly.
Zhang Changzong was speechless immediately.
Princess Taiping sighed again. "Since yesterday, I have been giving you a chance. Until just now, I was waiting for you to say that this was just a joke you made casually, and then the matter would be exposed. But you refused to let me go To regain face from Mrs. Changning Hou, you are still trying to persuade me to do something to her! Liulang, your thoughts are really getting more and more vicious!"
Zhang Changzong was already trembling with fright at this time, he could not utter a complete sentence in his mouth.
Princess Taiping sighed lightly, then waved her hands. "Forget it, now that I've talked to this point, I naturally want to give an explanation to the Marquis of Changning. Come, take Liulang down, beat him thirty times, and relegate him to the third-class male favourite!"
"Princess, don't!" Upon hearing this, the blood on Zhang Changzong's face faded instantly, and he quickly raised his head and shouted.
However, Princess Taiping didn't even pay attention to him at all, and watched the people come to drag him away without even blinking her eyelids.
Soon, Zhang Changzong was beaten and dragged down.Princess Taiping also waved her hand: "Okay, all of you who are redundant, step down, and let me have a good talk with Changning Hou and his wife."
The people around, including the male pets, all retreated, leaving only two female officials to serve beside Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping raised her eyes and smiled at Gu Caiwei again. "Could it be, were you really scared at first?"
"No." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "I know princess, you are not a person who doesn't discriminate between right and wrong. Especially the crying of a male favorite will not make you lose your sense of control."
Princess Taiping nodded. "That's natural. There are many good-looking young men in this world, and there is no shortage of him. I pampered him before, just because he has a sweet mouth and can talk, and he can make troubles in bed. It really makes me happy. , then I am naturally willing to give him a little face. It's just that men's pets are just a thing. I'm willing to pet him, that's my business, but if he really takes himself seriously, that's not okay. Today I Just let him know where he is!"
Gu Caiwei bowed her head. "Thank you princess."
"There's no need for this thank you letter. Originally, this matter was an innocent disaster for you." Princess Taiping said slowly, "And how did I hear that the Marquis of Changning took people inside and outside Chang'an city to find you yesterday afternoon? Has it been searched?"
When she said this, she took on a bit of teasing, and looked at Gu Caiwei with a half-smile in her eyes.
Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly. "Isn't it? At first I really thought it was the princess looking for me! It turned out that something was wrong halfway, and then Mr. Zhang Liulang came out. But none of their people had been beaten, so we drove them away quickly. I left. Then, thinking that I have come here, I can’t make a trip in vain, so I went to the house that you gave me, princess. In fact, I didn’t do anything. I have already found out that something is wrong, and started looking for me all over the world. I would have known that they were like this, I would definitely not run around, and after driving people away, I hurried back."
Originally, I wanted to see her jokes, but I didn't expect Gu Caiwei to explain the cause and effect to her so honestly, and the tone was so sincere that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Princess Taiping looked at Du Juanqing who was silent again. "However, this seems to be the first time I've seen Marquis Changning so anxious! I vaguely remember that seven years ago, you and Duke Lai had a big fight and wanted to marry your childhood sweetheart to come in. You are just father and son behind closed doors. There was a commotion. But this time, you almost turned people upside down inside and outside Chang'an City. From this point of view, you seem to care more about your current wife than the previous one?"
Du Jun responded calmly. "The princess was joking. If the same thing happens to my first lady, I will send out all the horses to save her."
"All right!"
When mentioning the failure of molesting, Princess Taiping suddenly lost the mood to joke, and turned her eyes to Gu Caiwei again: "Although what happened yesterday was Liu Lang's fault, but I have a question about the cause and effect of that incident after I heard about it. Very interested—it seems that you were able to successfully drive Liu Lang and the others away, is it really thanks to a dagger?"
Gu Caiwei's heart sank.
Sure enough, it was careless.Princess Taiping specially asked her to come here today. All the rhetoric about venting her anger for Zhang Changzong or taking this opportunity to teach Zhang Changzong a lesson are all excuses. Her real purpose is actually this!
Gu Caiwei quickly turned her head to exchange a look with Du Juanqing, and saw Du Juanqing was about to speak.But Princess Taiping interrupted him directly: "Marquis Changning, this princess is asking your wife now, you should let her answer me!"
Gu Caiwei had no choice but to take out the dagger hidden in her waist. "My Lord Hou accidentally got a piece of refined iron when he was looking for a famous doctor outside, and then someone introduced him to a blacksmith with extraordinary skills. Lord Hou gave him the refined iron and entrusted him to make two daggers. After returning to Chang'an, Lord Hou gave me this dagger as an apology in order to express his apology for his negligence in the past year. There is another one, which is now on Shi Zi's body."
The female officer took the dagger and handed it to Princess Taiping.Princess Taiping weighed it in her hand, then sheathed the scabbard, and saw a flash of cold light in front of her eyes, but it was all absorbed by the simple and simple lines on the dagger immediately.
She stared at the dagger carefully, looked again and again, and then lightly stroked the soft couch beside her, and after hearing a soft sound, a corner of the soft couch was directly cut off by her.
Princess Taiping gasped suddenly. "This dagger is so sharp!"
She hurriedly asked Du Juanqing again: "Where did you find that refined iron? Do you have any more?"
"Princess Qi, fine iron is a rare thing in the world. It is a great blessing for me to get a small piece by accident. How can I expect to get more?" Du Juanqing shook his head, "And this fine iron is also a rare thing. Someone gave it to me, but I heard him talk about the origin of fine iron."
Afterwards, he explained the general situation, and Gu Caiwei only remembered one place name - Changlai County.
Princess Taiping also caught this information, and she repeated the name in a low voice before sheathing the dagger and letting someone return it to Gu Caiwei. "A gentleman does not take what others like. Since this is an apology from the Marquis of Changning, then you can keep it! But if it is not necessary in the future, it is better not to take it out. This dagger is too sharp, be careful if it is caught Others steal and do bad things."
"Thank you princess for reminding me, I understand." Gu Caiwei nodded quickly.
Having said that, Princess Taiping couldn't help but yawned, she was exhausted.
Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
It was not until returning to Hou's mansion that Gu Caiwei finally let go of her hanging heart.She quickly patted her chest: "Princess Taiping's mind is really sharp! From so many messy information, she grasped the existence of this dagger at the first time, and then traced it to the end. Her Majesty's A biological daughter is indeed extraordinary!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Du Juanqing beside her, and saw this man with a cold face and an unhappy expression.
Of course he won't be happy.
The iron ore he was carefully holding was exposed and was targeted by someone because of such a incident. No wonder he would be happy!
Gu Caiwei thought for a while before she asked him in a low voice, "Is the Changlai County you mentioned reliable?"
Du Juan nodded. "It's a county not far from Yongxing County. There are indeed iron ore unearthed there all the time, but they are all small mines. If you search hard, you can indeed find some small pieces of refined iron."
Hearing what he said with such certainty, he probably expected such a day would come, so he made preparations early in the morning.
Gu Caiwei was relieved. "That's good, that's good. However, since Princess Taiping has set her sights on that place, other people will definitely follow her there. The small Changlai County is definitely not enough for them to spoil, so Changlai The counties and towns around the county will definitely be found by them one by one."
In other words, even if Du Juanqing can now completely cover up the iron mines on his fief, he still can't hold back so many powerful people to ask the bottom line together!If things go on like this, it will be a matter of time before that piece of iron ore is discovered.
and so……
"We have to find a big backer for this iron mine." Du Juan said in a deep voice.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "It will happen sooner or later. It's just that have you thought about who to join?"
Du Juanqing heard her, but looked at her. "Who do you think is the most suitable?"
"I'm just a bumpkin from the countryside. The most powerful person I know in Chang'an City is Princess Taiping. Otherwise, we'll find her?" Gu Caiwei mentioned casually.
"No." Du Juanqing refused on the spot.
"Why?" Gu Caiwei was very unconvinced, "You look down on women, don't you?"
"It's not that I look down on women, but that although Princess Taiping has shown great enthusiasm for political affairs, Her Majesty the Empress clearly has no intention of letting her participate in political affairs. Her influence in the court is not as good as that of the Wu family. She is now a member of the Wu family. My daughter-in-law, do you believe that if we give her the iron ore at the front, the iron ore at the back will be snatched by the Wu family and held in the palm of my hand?" Du Juan said calmly.
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Then tell me, who is the most suitable for you?"
"I've thought about it these days, and there is indeed a candidate I can consider." Du Juanqing then said.
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "Since you've already thought about it, why are you pretending to ask me? What do you mean?"
Du Juanqing did not answer her, but said slowly: "After thinking about it, the only person in Chang'an who is highly respected and trusted by Her Majesty is Dige. Although he was the one who helped Her Majesty ascend the throne , but the reason why most of the children of the Li Tang royal family have survived these years is also thanks to his protection. He is an upright person, and he is dedicated to serving the country. Now he is the only one who knows the existence of this iron mine and will not give birth to it. mind."
Gu Caiwei's eyes lit up. "You mean, the current prime minister, Di Renjie, old Di Ge?"
Du Juan nodded. "Exactly."
"This person is indeed credible." Gu Caiwei said in a low voice.
"It's just..." Immediately heard Du Juanqing sigh again, "Di Ge is old and frail, and his health has become worse and worse in recent years. Now he is suffering from arthralgia, and his movements are very slow. Now unless necessary, He doesn't even go to court, let alone come out to see people? How many people go to his house to ask for an audience now may not be able to see him."
He sighed in a depressed mood, but Gu Caiwei smiled indifferently. "Isn't it just a paralysis? What's the big deal? I can cure it!"
Du Juanqing immediately turned to her. "Are you sure it can be cured? This problem is not easy to cure. Now Her Majesty has specially sent an imperial doctor to give him acupuncture every day. The medicinal materials are also selected and sent to him, but it can only guarantee that his condition is not bad." It's just getting worse."
"They guarantee that his condition will not deteriorate, then I can make him significantly better. Even if it can't be cured, at least it will be fine to increase your energy and walk around more." Gu Caiwei laughed.
Du Juanqing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you know how much risk you will take if you say this in front of Mr. Di Ge?"
Gu Caiwei blinked, puzzled.
Du Juanqing patiently explained to her: "Di Ge is old, and now the imperial physicians sent by Her Majesty the Empress are also treating him with trepidation, for fear that if something happens to her, their lives will be at stake! After all, they Only in this way can you maintain Di Ge’s condition in the current stable state, but you jump out and say that you can cure better, isn’t that a slap in the face of the imperial doctor? And you, a person who has never practiced medicine, say such things, you How many people do you think will believe it? Even if they really believe it, it would be best if you keep your word and make Mr. Di Ge get better. If he doesn’t get better, let alone you, our entire Hou Mansion will bear the wrath of Her Majesty the Queen together. Have you ever considered any of this?"
Gu Caiwei blinked again. "Are you thinking too much?"
Du Juan was stunned, and Gu Caiwei said: "I told you earlier, I am studying diet therapy, but I am not on the same path as those imperial doctors. We don't need to say it clearly at the beginning when we go to treat Mr. Di Ge! Make something for him first, and he will take it first, and he can also take the medicine given to him by the imperial doctor. Since it is for the same disease, the general medicinal materials will not be incompatible. But as long as he eats slowly , found that the situation has improved a lot! He will naturally find out the reason, and then he can come to us on his own initiative!"
Du Juan was silent for a long time, only staring at her for a long time with a pair of eyes.
"You have a good idea." Finally, he said something sullenly.
Gu Caiwei nodded triumphantly. "Of course! Back then, I used this method to fool many people!"
Du Juanqing's mouth twitched again. "But Mr. Di Ge is not such an easy person to fool."
"It's almost the same!" Gu Caiwei waved her hand indifferently, "Since he is a patient, I have a lot of ways to make him eat what I made, and then take the initiative to move closer to me. By the way, let me think about what his old man likes. What to eat... I know, drink!"
Immediately thought of it, Gu Caiwei nodded happily. "I see. I'm going to brew a jar of medicinal wine right now, and I'll find a way to drink it for him later!"
She was thinking about it with great interest, but she didn't realize that Du Juanqing's eyes beside her had become much deeper.
"How do you know that Di Ge always likes to drink?" He suddenly asked.
