As Princess Ning, Pei has no shortage of resourcefulness and means.
As soon as she made a move, she resolutely curbed the growing rumors.
The aristocratic circles have all issued a gag order, and the royal family members only discuss in private.
At present, the overall situation is uncertain, and no one wants to provoke Prince Ning's Mansion at this time.
In case King Ning had bad luck and was established as the heir apparent, if he had an enmity with Prince Ning's mansion, he would kill himself.
The upper circle no longer talked about Gu Jiu's matter, and the middle circle people were even more timid, so they quickly shut their mouths, pretending that they had never heard of this matter.
Just because you don't talk about it doesn't mean you're not curious.
People in all circles must be curious to death.
What kind of ecstasy soup did Gu Jiu pour into Princess Ning to let Prince Ning's mansion stand up for her
Not only people outside are curious, but everyone in the palace is equally curious.
Look at Pei's series of methods, the neatness is not like her style at all.
But the orders all came from Chunhetang.
Ouyang Fu hid in the room, laughing loudly.
"What did I say? I said that my sister-in-law would go to see the princess and persuade the princess to stand up for her. Sure enough."
The confidant maid looked admiring, "It's amazing that madam has predicted this early in the morning."
Ouyang Fu smiled contemptuously, "My meager ability is nothing. The real powerful person is the eldest lady. I'm so curious, what did she say to the princess, so that the princess can change her mind and stand up for her."
The confidant maid said: "I heard that there were only Wangfei and Da Furen in the room at that time, and no one knew what they said."
"Hey!"
Ouyang Fu looked disappointed, "It would be great if I could know what sister-in-law said. I will learn from it, and the next time I use the same method, it will also shock others."
The confidant maid came up with an idea, "Madam wants to know, why not ask Da Furen directly. Madam speaks for Da Furen, Da Furen must be thinking of you."
Ouyang Fu shook her head, "Don't worry about this matter. You send someone to watch over those concubines. If they talk badly and say something that shouldn't be said, remember to report it in time."
"Slaves will make arrangements now."
…
In the west courtyard, Xiao Qin'er looked unhappy.
"Is the concubine mother crazy? She actually helped the sister-in-law out. What good does it do to help the sister-in-law out? Instead, it caused a mess. Cousin, you are talking."
Liu Yi had a sullen face and was also thinking about this matter.
Xiao Qin'er guessed, "It's not true that the sister-in-law poured ecstasy soup on the mother and concubine as the maids said."
Liu Yi glanced at her, "Don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Qin'er urged: "Why don't you go and ask Mother Concubine yourself, Mother Concubine will definitely tell you the truth."
"Don't ask people as soon as you encounter something, use your brain to figure it out first." Liu Yi denied Xiao Qin'er's proposal, speaking very bluntly.
Xiao Qin'er pouted, with an aggrieved expression on her face.
Liu Yi was thinking about something, how could he have time to talk to her.
Xiao Qin'er could only endure the grievance and kept silent.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Yi finally figured out this matter.
After understanding, he said with emotion: "Sister-in-law really has the essence of leveraging strength to fight. Taking the big court discussion as the starting point, it is a matter of future, and naturally she can persuade mother and concubine to stand up for her."
Xiao Qin'er looked confused, "Cousin, what are you talking about?"
Liu Yi stared at her, a little disappointed, but also a little happy.
"My sister-in-law is so smart, no wonder my elder brother can't control her, she doesn't even have a concubine's room."
When Xiao Qin'er heard this, she was immediately aroused and filled with sadness.
"My cousin is amazing, he took three concubines in one go."
When the one-year period came, Liu Yi didn't wrong himself, he took three concubines in one go.
All of them are women with outstanding appearance, and they are small and gentle, and serve them very attentively.
Liu Yiben is a passionate young man, he has been restraining his desires for the past year, striving to make progress, and has never thought about female sex.
This time he took a concubine, he was absurd for a few days.
Fortunately, striving for improvement has become a habit, and Liu Zhao put a lot of pressure on him, so he didn't delay his work because of women.
It's just that Xiao Qin'er was full of grievances, and she was so sad that she burst into tears.
Liu Yi ignored her.
The reason why he felt lucky was because he thought it would be a good thing to marry a not-so-intelligent woman as his wife.
At least not be constrained.
Gu Jiu is too smart, he played very smoothly with his strength.
Obviously, it would be a fatal situation for any woman, but it was easily resolved with her.
At first, nothing was more angry than the princess.
Now, it happened that the concubine stood up for her again.
It can only be said that the world is impermanent, and Gu Jiu has a lot of tricks.
After thinking a lot, Liu Yi gained something.
He secretly reminded himself that he must not be impatient in doing things in the future.
Must be stable.
Just like Gu Jiu, the rumors were getting worse and worse a few days ago, she didn't panic at all.
She didn't come out until everyone showed her true colors, and she made a move to fix the world.
Chairman Liu let out a sigh of relief.
Because of the income, I feel better.
He looked at Xiao Qin'er, "What's your expression?"
Xiao Qin'er said bluntly, "I'm not happy."
Liu Yi frowned, "Sister-in-law is a real person, you should get closer to her."
Xiao Qin'er laughed, "If the father is established as the crown prince, you will become the prince when he ascends the throne in the future. From now on, we will compete with their elders. Are you sure you want to get close to my sister-in-law?"
"You are you, I am me. Men don't affect you women."
"Do you believe this?" Xiao Qin'er sneered.
Liu Yi frowned, "Even if my eldest brother and I are in a competitive relationship, we will not compete from the beginning. Father is in his prime, and if he really has the opportunity to sit in that position, at least it will be ten years later. Why are you in a hurry
How many things can happen in ten years. If you are close to your sister-in-law, it would be good to earn more pocket money. When we open the mansion, how much is the cost, look at the current cost of the palace, you should understand. Don't make more preparations, and when the time comes to open the house, I'm afraid they won't be able to support the family. "
Xiao Qin'er snorted, "You look down on me too much. With my dowry, can't I even support my servants?"
Liu Yi laughed, laughing at Xiao Qin'er's innocence.
He said: "If one day we open the mansion, have you ever thought about how many people we will support? Not the dozens of people in the West Courtyard, but hundreds or thousands of people in the entire palace.
Do you know how many people our Prince Ning's Mansion is raising now? Let alone two or three thousand people. Do you know how many people live by Ning Wangfu? At least 30,000 to 40,000 people. With so many people, just with your little dowry, are you going to send off beggars? "
Xiao Qin'er's complexion changed, "Aren't there only a thousand servants in the palace?"
"You only count the people outside the palace, don't you? This time the father can return to Beijing safely, thanks to the people raised by the palace. It costs money to support those people."
Liu Yi had a serious face, "From now on, you can save me some expenses. Try to build a good relationship with my sister-in-law and earn more pocket money. I don't want to wait until I open the house, like Huyang Like my aunt, the autumn wind blows every year."
Xiao Qin'er lowered her head and said, "Royal father may not have the chance to take that position."
"Uncle Zhao and Uncle Yan are finished, and the little prince is gone, so the other uncles are nothing to worry about. Father Wang has a great chance to occupy that position. In any case, we have to make plans early."
Liu Yi's eyes were bright, and he looked excited.
From a grandson to a prince, the difference is a huge change in identity.
With so many grandchildren, how many of them have the chance to be princes
Being a prince has both glory and risk, and it requires a lot of money.
Liu Yi couldn't help but recall King Ning's actions over the years.
Many times, it is all about money.
It can be seen that the importance of money to the prince is at least in the top three.
He picked up a pen and wrote symbols on the paper that only he could understand.
Xiao Qin'er saw that he had fallen into a demon, so she didn't bother him, and quietly withdrew to order the servants to do things.
…
Gu Jiu hugged the child, but her mind was on Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao has had a hard time investigating the case recently.
Every time we met, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know how long he hadn't had a good rest.
The emperor ordered him to close the door and think about his mistakes, but he ignored all the wind and ran outside with people all day long, looking for clues by himself.
Gu Jiu knew that Liu Zhao's hard work was all for her.
She was kidnapped and imprisoned, which stimulated Liu Zhao's violent nerves.
If you can't catch Zhou Jin, you have to catch the people behind it.
Many times, she wanted to tell Liu Zhao not to work so hard.
But Liu Zhao fought so hard for her, she couldn't stop him.
This is Liu Zhao's heart knot, she can't stop it.
She asked Xu Yousi, "Is the young master back?"
Xu Yousi shook his head, "Young master went out yesterday and didn't come back."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Young master, remember to tell me when you come back."
"Little one obeys!"
Nanny Fang stepped forward, "Madam must be tired after holding Brother Yu for such a long time. Let this servant hold him."
"He will cry."
"The servant girl tried to hug."
Gu Jiu nodded, she was indeed a little tired. Holding a baby is physical work, especially for a long time. His arm was so sore that he seemed to be a strong man.
She handed the child to Nanny Fang.
Nanny Fang always had a rigid face, and she would only smile when facing Brother Buyu.
"Brother Yu, your natal family is tired, how about letting your mother rest?" Nanny Fang coaxed gently.
Brother Yu opened his mouth, thinking that he was going to cry, but he didn't expect that he was just putting on a show and didn't really cry.
Seeing her, Gu Jiu read, "Thank God, I finally didn't cry. I'm almost exhausted from crying all day long."
"The child is stimulated, and he hasn't seen his wife for a long time, so he will inevitably cling to you."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I know all about it. I didn't expect him to have a memory for thinking like that."
Didn't it mean that children have no memory
But Brother Yu, he can clearly remember people he has known for a while.
"Brother Yu is smart."
"Don't praise him, tell him to go to bed quickly. Such a small child should eat and sleep every day, and then move around. He didn't sleep much during the day."
"The madam is worried, and the servant coaxes my brother to sleep."
"Ma'am, the young master is back." Xiao Cui hurried in to report.
Gu Jiu was excited for a while.
It was rare for Liu Zhao to come back so early after suffering for such a long time.
