Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 285 The Secret Was Leaked (5)
"The third imperial concubine's visit today really flattered Meier. Logically speaking, I should be the one to pay her respects to the third imperial concubine, but now the third imperial concubine is here to visit. Meier is really terrified." Belittle herself, but Gu Qingmei is trying to test the purpose of the third concubine's visit today.

"Princess Zhenguo, there is no need to panic. I just ordered you from the third prince to send you some extra boxes. Now you have the emperor's grace, you have the title of princess, and you are the sister of the champion, and an unmarried husband." The status is also so honorable, so it's only right for me to send some congratulatory gifts."

The third concubine explained the purpose of her trip sternly, especially explaining that the reason why she came was at the order of the third prince. This explanation was really intriguing.

Then he said: "I heard that the princess of Zhenguo had amazing piano skills at the birthday banquet of the concubine of Mu County a few days ago, so that the concubine even gave the princess the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant bestowed by the late emperor. It just so happens that tomorrow is the birthday of the third prince." , I want to invite the princess to visit the mansion for a day, I wonder if the princess is willing to show her face."

Gu Qingmei slightly raised her brows, instinctively aware that the third concubine's arrival was not kind.

However, although she didn't understand the purpose of the third concubine's visit, she also knew that the invitation of the third concubine could never be refused.

Rejecting the third concubine's invitation is tantamount to slapping the third concubine in the face.

Slapping the third prince in the face is equivalent to indirectly hitting the third prince in the face.

It is not a wise move to offend such a big man even though he has not yet gained a firm foothold in the capital.

So Gu Qingmei agreed to the third prince's concubine's invitation with a very happy expression, "The third prince's concubine is so kind to invite me, Mei Er will go to celebrate the third prince's birthday."

"If that's the case, see you tomorrow!" The third concubine said lightly, and stood up, with a cold and beautiful face like a white lotus flower, which hadn't even the slightest expression, as if she couldn't see emotions. At the end of the day, he didn't even show the slightest smile, and he was so alienated that it made people panic.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Gu Qingmei quickly stood up, sent her outside the door, and sent her away respectfully.

When the vermillion sedan chair disappeared from her sight, she silently turned back to the mansion, and at the same time said to Su Yueleng: "Yueleng, send Xiaofeng to tell Murong Yu that the Third Prince The imperial concubine personally invited me to go to the third prince's birthday banquet at the residence tomorrow."

Since ancient times, there have been constant battles among the princes, and now she has made it clear that if she wants to marry Murong Yu, she will naturally be from the fourth prince's side, but the third prince sent the third prince and concubine to invite her to a banquet at the mansion. What does it mean? , she really couldn't figure it out.

It stands to reason that the newly promoted princess who was born as a merchant would not alarm a prince no matter what.

With her status, sending a housekeeper casually to invite her is already showing her face. The third prince sent the third prince and concubine here, which she couldn't help thinking about.

During this period of time, her main energy has been spent on doing business, and she doesn't care much about officialdom and court affairs.

Moreover, men have always disliked women asking about the affairs of the court, so she seldom inquired about these things with Murong Yu.

But at this moment, it seemed that she had to analyze the affairs in the court carefully.

Back in her own room, Qu handed over the gift list, "Meizi, look, this is the gift list just sent by the third concubine."

Although she and her two daughters seem to be working as housekeepers and bodyguards, Gu Qingmei has emphasized more than once that she should not be treated as a young lady. Their family is not servants bought by themselves, but friends of the second brother. Those who help at home, I have never regarded them as servants, so she called Gu Qingmei very differently.

"Let me see." Gu Qingmei took the gift list over with interest, opened it, and found a lot of gifts written in it, many of which she couldn't understand what they were, but she could understand them. There are also a lot, there are twelve horses of silk, a pair of jade ornaments, a set of head and face jewelry, a gold silk belt, a pair of jade ruyis, and a pair of jadeite bracelets.

She couldn't help frowning slightly. Naturally, these gifts cannot be refunded, but even if she doesn't know the market very well, she can tell that the gifts on this gift list are too expensive.

Qu said softly: "I've seen the things, they are all good things, worth at least tens of thousands of taels."

"Let's wait for Murong Yu's news." Gu Qingmei narrowed her eyes slightly, ignoring the unease in her heart.

An hour later, just after lunch was set up at Gu Qingmei's place, Murong Yu rushed in from the outside in a hurry, and Gu Qingyang came with her.

The faces of both of them were a little ugly.

"Third Prince's Concubine really invited you to the Third Prince's Mansion for a banquet tomorrow?" Murong Yu asked immediately.

Gu Qingmei didn't even get up to greet them, she just picked up some food and ate, "I also sent a carload of valuable treasures, saying they were for me. By the way, the third concubine specifically explained to me that it was the third prince sent her here."

She raised the rice bowl in her hand, blinked her eyes and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Have some together?"

Murong Yu and Gu Qingyang looked at each other and sneered at the same time.

"The visitor is not kind!" Gu Qingyang's voice was sinister, and the expression on his face looked like a little devil.

While Gu Qingmei slandered the two men, she ordered Su Chenqing to fetch water for them to wash.

When she was eating, she didn't like people staring at her, so she never let the maids serve her, and she just asked Qu Shi and the Su family sisters to eat with her.

Qu put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up, "I'll go to the kitchen and tell them to add some more dishes."

After Murong Yu and Gu Qingyang took a shower, they sat down one after another.

Because of the appearance of the two of them, it was difficult for the Su family sisters to eat at this table, so they took their rice bowls, set aside some food and went back to their rooms.

The main reason is that the table is too small for four women to sit, and it is a bit crowded with two tall men.

And they also knew that Gu Qingmei must have something to say to these two men, maybe it was inconvenient for them to listen, so they avoided it.

Murong Yu's handsome face was jet-black, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The third prince celebrated his birthday, and he never posted anything to others!"

"What?" Gu Qingmei's expression changed in shock. If the third prince's birthday was only invited to her and no one else was invited, don't ask, there must be something wrong.

She couldn't help muttering: "So it's the Hongmen Banquet!"

Murong Yu was taken aback, "What is Hongmen Banquet?"

Gu Qingmei remembered that Hongmen Banquet was a vocabulary handed down from the era of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Without Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in this world, it is impossible for them to know what Hongmen Banquet is.
