Gu Jiu disliked Liu Zhao so much.
"As the saying goes, whoever pays is the master. If I want to support the family, I should naturally have the final say on the big and small things in the family. I can't afford to be angry even if I pay the money."
Liu Zhao studied the meaning of Gu Jiu's words, and asked back, "You are the one who decides all the big and small things?"
Gu Jiu looked at him with a smile and nodded again.
"Could it be that the servants around me have to be decided by you."
Gu Jiu smiled brighter and nodded, yes, she has the final say on everything.
Liu Zhao is not stupefied, he stared at Gu Jiu suspiciously, "What are you thinking?"
Gu Jiu said innocently: "No. I'm just exercising my rights."
"You have too much power."
Gu Jiu snorted, turned her head away from Liu Zhao, and hated him very much.
Liu Zhao laughed, no matter how he looked at Gu Jiu's small expression, he would never get tired of it.
He joked: "I haven't married yet, I'm thinking about how to manage the house, not bad, not bad."
Not a bad guy.
Gu Jiu said with a cold expression: "I want to go back to the theater to listen to the play, so let me go first."
"Don't worry, we finally met."
Gu Jiu looked at Liu Zhao with a smile, but didn't speak. Let Liu Zhao understand the meaning in her eyes by himself.
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, "You have been wronged today."
Gu Jiu said: "I am not the only one who has been wronged by Zhou Yi."
"Who else?" Liu Zhao's expression turned gloomy instantly.
Gu Jiu was not afraid of him, and said, "I don't know who it is. During the lunch, someone poisoned my wine. I don't know what poison was put in it, but I'm sure there is something wrong with that glass of wine."
Liu Zhao's expression was very serious, "Who dares to poison you?"
Gu Jiu laughed mockingly, "I have to ask you. This is the palace, and you are the master of the palace. If you don't know, how can I know."
Liu Zhao had a cold face, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Do you still remember who gave you that glass of wine?"
"A maid, but I didn't see her face."
"I know about it, and I will deal with it. I will tell you the result."
Gu Jiu said: "I've said everything I need to say, I should go."
Liu Zhao was reluctant to let go, "Is that why you don't want to see me?"
Gu Jiu asked him back, "Would you like to meet someone who brings you trouble every day?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "Husband and wife are one body, one prospers and both prosper, and one loses both."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "We're not husband and wife yet, so naturally we can't have both prosperity and prosperity with you, we'll all suffer together."
"If I had known earlier, I should have moved up the wedding date."
"It's useless to advance, anyway, I'm leaving now, you let go."
Liu Zhao gently rubbed Gu Jiu's fingers. Her fingers were slender and white, and they were very comfortable to touch.
"Your hands are beautiful."
Gu Jiute said arrogantly: "Of course my hands are beautiful."
Liu Zhao said: "So, it is such a lucky thing for me to marry you."
"You haven't married me yet."
"The imperial decree has been issued, do you still want to go back on it?"
Liu Zhao's eyes turned cold, looking very scary.
Gu Jiu looked calm, "You can't go back on your word unless someone can invalidate the imperial decree."
Although these words were not pleasant to listen to, Liu Zhao's expression softened a little.
Gu Jiu continued; "If you hadn't chosen me, my life would not be like this. I might marry a man of the right family, and then..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Zhao's face darkened again.
He found that one day he would be pissed off by Gu Jiu. This woman deliberately said these words to anger him, it must be like this.
Gu Jiu looked at Liu Zhao and secretly laughed.
Liu Zhao snorted, and he knew that Gu Jiu did it on purpose, and deliberately said these words to anger him.
It seems that he must revive his husband.
In the end, Gu Jiu didn't give him a chance at all.
Gu Jiu was the first to say, "Aren't you overwhelmed? It's right to be overwhelmed. You finally realized how I felt back then. It's not bad, not bad."
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled triumphantly.
Liu Zhao was very helpless, and Zhen Fugang's thoughts disappeared.
"You were so unhappy when you received the marriage decree."
Gu Jiu gave Liu Zhao a blank look, no wonder she would be happy.
Gu Jiu asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Why do you think that I am willing to marry you, is it because you are the grandson of the emperor?"
Liu Zhao laughed suddenly, he didn't need to care about Gu Jiu's thoughts, anyway, the two would soon become husband and wife.
So he said, "Whether you like it or not, you will marry me."
Gu Jiu nodded calmly, "That's true, the imperial decree has been issued, and I have no other choice but to marry you."
Liu Zhao squeezed Gu Jiu's finger, "I am very glad that you can realize this."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Just because I marry you doesn't mean I will be dominated by you. I hope that after a few years, you won't regret marrying me."
Liu Zhao said loudly, "My lord will never regret marrying you."
Gu Jiu smiled, but remained silent.
Both fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became a little ambiguous.
It was too hot, Gu Jiu opened the window a little. There is a cool breeze blowing in, which is very comfortable.
Gu Jiu looked back at Liu Zhao, "Don't you need to socialize?"
"Everyone will be listening to the show, there is no need to entertain."
After a pause, Liu Zhao said again: "I will advance the wedding date, how about it?"
Gu Jiu directly shook his head and vetoed, "Not really."
This is a lousy notion.
Gu Jiu originally disliked the wedding date being too early, but Liu Zhao actually wanted to advance the wedding date.
Gu Jiu just wanted to reply to Liu Zhao: Hehe!
Time passed little by little.
The servant came to urge him, but Liu Zhao couldn't stay, so he had to leave early.
When he was leaving, he said to Gu Jiu, "Don't worry, everything is up to me."
Gu Jiu smiled without saying a word, watching Liu Zhao leave.
Qingmei and Qingzhu came to Gu Jiu's side.
Qingmei smiled and said: "Congratulations girl, the son cares so much about the girl, when the girl marries into the palace in the future, there will be a loving husband and wife."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "We'll talk about the future, let's go back to the theater."
The three master and servant returned to the theater building, and a new play had just been sung in the middle.
Concubine Ning Pei looked downstairs and asked the maid beside her, "Gu Jiu is back?"
The maid nodded in agreement.
Concubine Ning Pei asked again: "Where is the eldest son?"
The servant girl said in a low voice: "I have something to do, I have left the house."
Concubine Ning Pei frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you know what happened?"
The servant girl lowered her voice and whispered, "It seems that something happened in the palace."
Concubine Ning Pei turned her head to stare at the servant girl, and asked in a stern tone: "What happened in the palace?"
The servant girl shook her head, "I haven't got any news yet."
Concubine Ning Pei was worried, she looked at Princess Zhao and the others calmly.
Those few people were listening to the show as usual, and it seems that they haven't gotten any news yet.
Concubine Ning Pei moved her body slightly and changed to a more comfortable posture, so that no one could see anything unusual.
She is the host and cannot leave without authorization.
So she told the servant girl, "Let someone inquire about the news as soon as possible. In addition, you go to the prince's side to see what the prince's reaction is. When you get the news, report it as soon as possible."
"The servant obeys."
For the next play, Concubine Ning Pei was completely absent-minded.
She paid attention to the reactions of Princess Zhao and the others, she probably didn't know that something happened in the palace.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt like a long time later, the confidant maid hurriedly returned to the theater building, and whispered in her ear, "I want to tell you, Madam Mei, something happened about Concubine Mei."
Concubine Ning Pei gasped, she subconsciously looked at Concubine Zhao and Princess Fuming.
They obviously knew about Concubine Mei's matter. Could Concubine Mei's incident be related to these two people
Concubine Ning Pei asked, "What's the prince's reaction?"
The servant girl hesitated for a moment before saying: "My lord will leave this matter to the eldest son."
Princess Ning Pei frowned when she heard the words.
"Where's Yi'er? Did the prince not let Yi'er participate?"
The servant girl shook her head, and said another bad news, "The prince also asked the second son to assist the eldest son, but he didn't mention the fourth son."
Concubine Ning Pei gritted her teeth, extremely dissatisfied, "What is the meaning of the prince? Yi'er is not young, and he is about to get married, but the prince still refuses to assign him an errand, and blindly let the boss take the errand. Huh, it is clear that he is saying the same thing and doing it." set."
King Ning loved Liu Yi very much, but this love was far from enough in Princess Ning's eyes.
The servant girl persuaded: "Princess, please calm down. The fourth son is busy with getting married. The prince does not send any errands to the fourth son at this time, because he is considerate of the fourth son."
Concubine Ning Pei smiled sarcastically, "What kind of consideration is it? It's clear that he doesn't believe in the ability of the fourth brother. He just identified the boss.
He said he disliked the boss, but if something happened, he would not let the boss come forward to deal with it.
The boss has a cold face and a colder heart. This princess has been so cold all these years. My own son is always on guard against me, is this still mother and son? "
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, she couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu who was sitting downstairs.
The wife that Liu Zhao personally chose, but that's all.
She said to the servant girl: "Go, call Gu Jiu up."
The servant girl has served Pei Shi for many years, so she knows Pei Shi's temper very well. Obviously, Pei's anger was directed at Gu Jiu because of Liu Zhao.
The servant girl didn't try to persuade her, and immediately ordered someone to invite Gu Jiu up.
Gu Jiu finally got a taste of the play, and a little girl came to her side.
"Miss Gu, Princess Wang please go up and talk."
Gu Jiu was surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty wants me to go up at this time?"
Call her up when the opera is singing wonderfully, could it be something wrong? Or something else
No matter what the reason is, since Wang Hao opened her mouth, Gu Jiu has to go upstairs.
She said to the little maid: "Lead the way ahead."
Following the little maid, Gu Jiu came to the second floor and met Mrs. Pei.
The confidant maid, Li Zhi, reminded Concubine Ning Pei in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Miss Gu is here."
Concubine Ning Pei didn't even look at Gu Jiu.
She hummed first, and then said, "Just wait."
The maid, Li Zhi, said to Gu Jiu apologetically, "Your Majesty is fascinated by the opera, please wait a moment, Miss Gu."
Gu Jiu nodded.
This wait is just a stick of incense, Princess Ning Pei still has no intention of calling Gu Jiu to speak to her.
Gu Jiu was still skeptical before, but now it is certain that Mrs. Pei is trying to show her off.
After waiting for another cup of tea, Mrs. Pei still left Gu Jiu to dry.
Gu Jiu refused to wait any longer.
She said to the maid, Li Zhi: "Please tell the princess, I am weak and cannot stand for a long time, so I can only go downstairs first. I will come up again after the lady has finished listening to the play."
The maid Li Zhi was speechless, she was very surprised by Gu Jiu's courage. I have never seen anyone dare to leave voluntarily when the empress summoned her.
"Miss Gu, you..."
With a smile on the corner of Gu Jiu's mouth, he interrupted the other party, "Sister Lizhi, please pass on the message for me, I'll go down first."
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu really turned around and left. She meant it, not kidding, she really wanted to go downstairs to rest.
She is not yet the daughter-in-law of the palace, so naturally she is unwilling to accept this leisure. And she has been waiting for more than a stick of incense.
Even if she is the daughter-in-law of the palace in the future, she will not accept this kind of anger.
Seeing Gu Jiu leave, the maid Li Zhi became anxious.
She hurriedly reported to Mrs. Pei, "Madam, Miss Gu said that she is weak and cannot stand for long, so she went downstairs."
Concubine Ning Pei's face was shocked, "What did you say? She dared to go downstairs without my concubine's permission?"
The maid, Li Zhi, nodded repeatedly, this matter is absolutely true.
Pei Shi looked towards the stairs, and sure enough, she saw a figure from behind.
"It's unreasonable! This princess just asked her to wait, but she showed me the face, who gave her the courage."
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"How does this princess calm down? You go and call her up."
Li Zhi said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, everyone else has looked over."
After being reminded, Concubine Ning Pei realized that her voice was too loud, which alarmed some people.
Princess Fuming laughed, "Sister-in-law, who are you angry with? I guess, could it be Liu Zhao's carefully selected daughter-in-law, Gu Jiu's girl?"
Concubine Ning Pei snorted coldly, but remained silent.
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, she has no interest in showing bad things in front of others.
Princess Fuming didn't take it seriously, and covered her lips with a smile, "Look at this princess, that girl named Gu Jiu, although she is young, has a lot of heart. She has dared to show her face before entering the palace. When she enters the palace in the future, I don't know. How arrogant and domineering."
Concubine Ning Pei's face turned ugly again.
Fuming didn't intend to let Mrs. Pei go easily, she continued: "It's strange to say, that Gu Jiu has an ordinary family background, and her stepmother is in charge of the family, and her brothers are not up to par. Where do you think she got the confidence to dare to be in the palace?" Shake your face
Could it be that she relied on Liu Zhao to choose her, and she had the imperial decree of marriage, so she dared to act recklessly. This is difficult to handle, when Gu Jiu marries into the palace, wouldn't she become a troublemaker and disturb the peace of the entire palace. Oh, how can this be good? "
Princess Fuming dragged her tail, the gloating in her eyes, and the discord in her eyes were not concealed.
Concubine Ning Pei, don't look at her making things difficult for Gu Jiu, she is a master in front of others. She never does things that make family scandals public.
Facing what Princess Fuming said, she directly responded with a hehe.
"Fuming, you just can't stop worrying. I don't know what's going on in my family, and you come to care about me again. How can I be willing to let you work hard? Don't worry about the affairs of my family's family. You should worry about the princess's mansion. Pickle things."
Princess Fuming's complexion instantly collapsed.
She looked at Concubine Ning Pei with a half-smile, "My sister-in-law refused to appreciate my kindness. Forget it, why should I put my hot face on someone else's cold ass.
But I still want to thank my sister-in-law for having an extra daughter-in-law who can pick things up. From now on, Prince Ning's Mansion will not have to worry about being deserted, and it will be as lively as a market every day. "
When Princess Fuming spoke, she deliberately turned up the volume so that everyone could hear her.
Her calculations really attracted the attention of many people.
Pooh!
Princess Zhao and Princess Yan both laughed. We are all waiting to see the joke about Princess Ning's accessories.
Concubine Ning Pei's heart is so angry, she is angry with Princess Fuming for meddling, and she is even more angry with Gu Jiu.
As long as Gu Jiu is willing to stand here honestly, there won't be so many things. Maybe others will even praise her, Miss Gu is so well behaved.
Concubine Ning Pei didn't want to think about it, the cause of the matter was all on her.
Concubine Ning Pei's face was stern, and said: "Whether Princess Ning is lively or not, you don't need to worry about it. The opera on the stage is singing wonderfully. You don't watch the opera, but you want to talk about it. Could it be that you are dissatisfied? The princess's arrangement, do you dislike the shabby hospitality of the palace?"
Princess Fuming smiled, "Sister-in-law is superstitious. The banquet prepared by sister-in-law is naturally excellent, and I have no dissatisfaction. I just said a few words casually, and sister-in-law just took a gun and stick to me. Could it be that sister-in-law doesn't welcome me?" Me? If that’s the case, you should have said it earlier, and I will never enter the gate of your Prince Ning’s mansion again."
Concubine Ning Pei laughed angrily, "Fuming, others say you have a sharp mouth. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I am convinced. You do have a sharp mouth. It's a pity that your sharp mouth is useless. During the day, I only know to talk about trivial things, and it is really tiresome to chatter."
