"Ma'am, the actor Lan Xiang is asking to see you."
actor? Lanxiang
Gu Jiu thought for a while before he remembered who this person was.
Some time ago, Fuzhong newly purchased a group of actors who specialize in singing ditties, and one of them was named Lan Xiang.
"What is he here for?"
The servant said: "He said that he has something important to report to his wife, which is related to the Daihou's Mansion."
Daihou's Mansion, Gu Mei's husband's house.
Gu Jiu thought about it, "Call him in."
The actor Lan Xiang was invited into the small study. He suppressed his curiosity, didn't dare to look around, first bowed to Gu Jiu, "The villain pays his respects to the eldest madam."
Gu Jiu asked blankly: "Tell me, what is the purpose of you coming to see me?"
The actor Lan Xiang raised his head cautiously, and took a peek at Gu Jiu.
He was a little excited in his heart, and said with a low eyebrow: "Qi Ma'am, the prince was furious when he learned that Huyang Princess had unusual contacts with young men outside.
Order those people, regardless of their status, to be arrested. One of them was Han Wulang from the Daihou Mansion.
The villain remembered that one of his wife's sisters from the same clan married into the Daihou Mansion, so he specially came to inform his wife. "
When Gu Jiu heard this, her brows and eyes moved slightly.
Sooner or later, Princess Huyang's messing around outside will be exposed. I just didn't expect it to be exposed so early.
Not to mention, King Ning was so furious that he sent people to arrest those people.
She asked the actor Lan Xiang, "How do you know about this?"
"Reporting to Madam, when the incident happened, the villain was in the side hall of Bixi Pavilion and listened to a few words."
Oh!
I see.
Gu Jiu thought for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote a short note, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Qing Mei.
She whispered to Qing Mei, "Go to the Marquis Mansion for me and meet Sister Mei. Remember to hand this letter to Sister Mei with your own hands, and never hand it over by others."
Qing Mei took the order and asked, "Do you want to wait for a reply?"
Gu Jiu said: "If Sister Mei has a reply, you can bring it back. If there is no reply, you can go home directly."
"The servant knows."
Qingmei took the envelope and went out.
The actor Lan Xiang still stood there respectfully.
Gu Jiu looked him up and down, and asked, "Why did you tell Mrs. Ben about this?"
The actor Lan Xiang smiled subtly, "The villain wants to form a good relationship."
Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, "Come here, give me twenty taels of silver as a reward for Lan Xiang."
Lan Xiang was in a hurry, "The villain doesn't want money."
He has no shortage of silver flowers.
The prince rewarded him with many valuables, if it was for money, he would not have come to the east courtyard to ask to see Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, she was not in a hurry, she had plenty of time.
She asked, "You don't want money, so what do you want?"
"The villain said that he wants to form a good relationship with his wife."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Do you think I will believe this?"
Lan Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "Madam is the eldest wife of the palace, and the palace will be handed over to Madam sooner or later. So the villain wants to make a good relationship in advance and plan for the future."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Don't say anything else, let's just say that the prince and princess are in their prime of life, free from illness and disaster, and I don't know how many years will be left before the son will inherit the palace.
Is it too early for you to make a good relationship with Mrs. Ben at this time
Speaking of it, this lady has no control over you at all, even if you want to form a good relationship, you should find the stewards of Bixi Pavilion, not this lady.
Come on, what is the purpose? Want money? Or do you want something else? "
Lan Xiang panicked for a moment.
Soon, he calmed down again.
He raised his head boldly, with a clean face, he looked like an ordinary young man.
He said to Gu Jiu: "If the villain says that the lady is kind, so she wants to make friends, will the lady believe it?"
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I have a good face?"
"Exactly."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, "Madam, I don't care what you think, I just remind you to put away all your thoughts. Madam can tolerate you, but my son has a bad temper, and he is going to kill someone."
Lan Xiang panicked, did the lady guess what he was thinking
Gu Jiu vaguely guessed something, but didn't delve into it.
Some things, it is better to be confused, and it is meaningless to go deeper.
She went on to say: "You are willing to come here in time to deliver the news, Mrs. Ben must thank you.
In return, let me remind you one more thing, from now on, you should still serve the prince with peace of mind, and don't ask about other things, let alone talk too much.
Only in this way can the prince tolerate you. Like today's matter, if you don't want to be bestowed to death by the prince, don't do it in the future. "
The actor Lan Xiang's face turned pale, and he was a little scared, "Thank you for reminding Madam. The villain will not come to the East Courtyard from now on, so I will leave now."
Gu Jiu winked at Bai Zhong, the little yellow family.
Bai Zhong stood up and said to Lan Xiang, "Our family will send you out."
When the people left, Mother Fang put on a straight face and said angrily, "Is this actor Lan Xiang trying to frame Madam?"
If King Ning misunderstood that Gu Jiu had bribed the people around him, there would be a lot of trouble.
When Lan Xiang went to the East Courtyard, if he was not careful, he would be compiled various articles.
Lan Xiang died as soon as he died, but his wife had to suffer all kinds of criticism.
The situation that has just been opened up is in vain in the blink of an eye.
Of course, this is the worst possible outcome.
But Lan Xiang came to the door, forcing Nanny Fang to think in the worst direction.
Gu Jiu said: "He probably didn't have the idea of framing Mrs. Ben, but he doesn't know how deep the water is here."
The palace is not the palace, but it is better than the palace in many aspects.
The suspicion between father and son is not a joke, let alone a talk.
If you are not careful, you may die and bleed.
Mother Fang said: "Even if he has no intention of framing Madam, if he takes the initiative to come to the door, Madam may be implicated."
Gu Jiu reassured Nanny Fang, "Don't be nervous, Nanny. Now everyone is worrying about money, and Princess Huyang has caused such a big disturbance. For the time being, everyone can't take care of me. And I asked Bai Zhong to send him off. When I go back, I want to tell everyone that Mrs. Ben is frank and open, and has nothing to say to others."
Nanny Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "In the future, if such people come to your door, Madam must not see them."
"I know, thank you for reminding me, Mammy."
…
Qingmei rushed to the Daihou's Mansion, and after many notifications, she finally met Gu Mei who was raising her baby.
"Slave and servant send greetings to the eldest young mistress."
"Get up quickly. Sister Xiaojiu sent you over, is there something wrong?"
"My wife ordered the servant to hand this over to the young mistress for review."
Gu Mei took the envelope, took out the note inside, and looked at the content on it, her face changed slightly.
She couldn't believe it, "Is what the above said true? My Wulang is really entangled with Princess Huyang?"
Is Han Wulang in a daze? He even got involved with Princess Huyang. Sure enough, I don't know how to write the word dead.
Qingmei nodded, "This matter should be true. The prince has ordered everyone to be arrested, and Han Wulang will not be spared."
"Sister Xiaojiu has a heart. I know about it. You thank sister Xiaojiu for me. When I give birth, I will treat her to drink the child's full moon wine."
Qingmei bowed and said goodbye.
The maid Panchun asked: "Eldest young mistress, how should we deal with this matter?"
Gu Mei sneered, "I'm a big-bellied woman, so I'm not qualified to take care of my uncle's affairs. You go to see my wife for me and tell her that Wulang has a relationship with Princess Huyang. Don't say anything else."
"If the wife asks how the servant knows this, what will the servant say?"
Gu Mei smiled, "Just say that you heard it from the street. In short, don't say a single word. No matter the result of this matter is good or bad, I, a big belly woman, will not please you. I can't pretend to be born I don't know what to do."
The servant girl Panchun took orders and left.
Gu Mei pondered for a while, then wrote another letter to Han Dalang, telling him the whole story.
She sealed the envelope and asked the servants to send it to Han Dalang immediately.
…
The princess of Huyang was invited to Tourmaline Pavilion.
She didn't know what happened yet, she looked happy, thinking it was a good thing.
"Brother Wang, you sent someone to invite me over. Is there something wrong? Could it be that there is news from the palace? Did the concubine let me into the palace?"
King Ning's face was gloomy, "My concubine is not free, so don't go into the palace to disturb her old lady."
Princess Huyang looked disappointed, it seemed that the turmoil in the palace had not completely dissipated.
She asked again: "Brother Wang, what are you doing with such a face? Who made you angry?"
King Ning's mood was very complicated, he didn't know whether to sigh or laugh.
Is the younger sister of his mother really stupid or pretending to be stupid
Although King Ning knew that Hu Yang was really stupid sometimes, he still hoped that Hu Yang was always pretending to be stupid, not really stupid.
He didn't bother to make a detour, so he simply asked straight to the point: "Huyang, what have you been up to lately?"
The owner of Huyang County suddenly frowned, and began to complain, "What else can I be busy with, not how to pay back the money. The household department came to urge me again, saying that I have to pay back as much as I want. Otherwise, I can only ask the Shaofu to come forward to urge me to pay. Brother Wang, you have to help me."
Hu Yang looked pitiful.
King Ning snorted coldly, "You said you were busy raising money?"
The master of Huyang County nodded again and again, very sincerely.
King Ning said with a straight face, "I heard that you often associate with some dubious people recently."
When the princess of Huyang heard this, she was furious, "Who is talking nonsense? What is nonsense? This is slander, everything is slander. Brother Wang, tell me who is talking nonsense, I will tear him apart mouth can not.
Is my sister-in-law speaking ill of me behind my back? I knew my sister-in-law didn't like me, and she wanted to kick me out of the house. But besides relying on Brother Wang, where else can I go? The consort is gone, and the Chen family is gone too? Now I don't even dare to go back to the princess mansion, because I'm afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, and thinking of my son-in-law. Woohoo..."
The owner of Huyang County whimpered and cried, very sad.
King Ning was very impatient: "That's enough, don't cry when something happens. The princess has never said a bad word about you in front of this king, so don't try to slander her. When this king asks you, you keep saying that you miss Chen Consort , why do you have to raise a bad boy outside again. You can explain this clearly to me.”
"What little boy?" Huyang Princess looked confused, and then burst into tears, "Brother Wang, whose slander did you listen to, I have to kill him. What little boy, what's wrong, in the end Who has such a bad heart and slandered me again and again. Brother Wang, could it be that you even believe such words, could it be that you are old and foolish?"
"Shut up for me."
King Ning was so angry that he didn't bother to argue with Princess Huyang, and ordered directly: "Come on, bring up all those little white faces and show the princess to see."
The servants took orders and left.
Princess Huyang's eyes flustered, and her heart felt guilty.
Cautiously asked: "Brother Wang, what are you going to do?"
King Ning scolded angrily, "If you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, then this king will fulfill you."
"Brother Wang, are you going to force me to death?"
"You are looking for death yourself, and this king is here to save you."
The owner of Huyang County burst into tears, "Brother Wang doesn't want to see me, just say it. Why bother to force each other."
King Ning was furious and scolded Hu Yang, "Shut up! How long has it been since Concubine Chen died, and why did he die? Do you think everyone in the court is a fool
If it weren't for your surname Liu, a majestic imperial daughter, do you think you and your child would have survived
At this time, you don't think about introspection, you don't know how to hide your strength and bide your time, and you openly keep a bad face outside.
Believe it or not, your memorial to the imperial censor's impeachment will be able to fill your father's desk.
This incident alarmed the royal father, you will lose your skin if you don't die.
This king worked hard to take care of your aftermath, but you accused me of intentionally forcing you to death. Huyang, if you refuse to accept my discipline, get out now. "
Hu Yang burst into tears, "Brother Wang, why do you accuse me of having a bad boy? I've lost a man, so why don't I find another one
Brother Wang is used to exaggerating and threatening me with my father. You just want me to be a virtuous woman.
Why do you hug left and right, a woman today, an actor tomorrow, how many men can't my majestic princess have? What's the point? "
King Ning laughed angrily.
At this time, the servants reported that they had brought them here, and they were all waiting outside the door.
King Ning said sharply, "Bring people in."
Seven or eight young men, from teenagers to young adults, from red lips and white teeth to fleshy muscles, all kinds of men.
Half of the family's children hid their faces in shame.
Being arrested by the guards of the palace, and the news spread, it was a big embarrassment.
Several other civilian men looked scared. Fearing that King Ning would be furious, he chopped them all down.
King Ning pointed at Princess Huyang, "Is this the man you raised?"
Huyang County advocated opening his mouth, but remained silent.
Among the children of the four aristocratic families, only Han Wulang is a direct descendant, and the other three are all concubine descendants.
The three concubines chose to hang out with Huyang princess, so it might be speculative. Therefore, these three people are also very guilty.
Only Han Wulang, the noble and noble son of the Hou family, was loved and raised since he was a child. His entanglement with the princess of Huyang is really not speculation.
Seeing that the Princess of Huyang was speechless, he stood up and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Cao Min and the princess are in love with each other, and there is no money exchange."
Princess Huyang was instantly moved, looked at the other party affectionately, and called out affectionately, "Goro!"
King Ning sneered, and pointed at Han Wulang, "You, son of the Daihoufu, are quite courageous."
Frightened by King Ning's aura, Han Wulang bowed his head and said, "Caomin is just telling the truth."
King Ning's face darkened, and he was about to explode.
The owner of Huyang County was in a hurry, and hurriedly stood up to speak for Han Wulang: "Brother Wang, don't make things difficult for Wulang. My relationship with Wulang is not the kind of relationship that Brother Wang thinks."
King Ning glared at Huyang fiercely, "Okay, I will trust you for the time being. For the other people, you should clarify with me what is the relationship between them? If you can't explain clearly, they will all be cut down."
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life..."
Several big men knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"The grass people are frightened by the status of the princess princess, so they have to obey. The grass people are actually unwilling. Please learn from the prince."
"Dog thing." Huyang princess was furious, picked up the teacup and threw it at several people, "My mouth is usually as sweet as honey, but now I want to clean it up. I tell you, it's a dream. Brother Wang, I admit, these dogs are all raised by me for entertainment, if you want to chop them off, I won't stop them."
The men turned pale with fright, "Princess Princess, for the sake of serving us diligently, please save us."
What's more, he directly hugged Princess Huyang's calf, "Miss Princess, didn't you say you like me the most? Please forgive me and spare my life. From now on, I will order cows and horses to repay Princess Mistress .”
Princess Huyang kicked the man away, "Get out! Get out, all of you. All of you combined can't compare to Goro's one finger."
Then, Princess Huyang confessed to Han Wulang affectionately, "Goro, I didn't realize until today that only you are sincere to me. I wronged you in the past."
Han Wulang was worried, he wouldn't act too much, and let Huyang Princess misunderstand what he meant, right
Hey, he just wanted to get away. Really nothing else.
Princess Huyang, please don't look at this young master with such affectionate eyes.
