Gu Jiuxiao lowered his eyelids indifferently, "Not interested."
Duke Ding seemed to have not heard his words, and continued on his own, "I will marry Lihua to you. Your concubine has a bad background, an orphan girl without father, mother and no support. In the past, she was favored and protected by the Supreme Emperor. Now that the Supreme Emperor is gone, she is nothing. How can this kind of woman be my future queen in South Vietnam? Only our Lihua is like..."
Gu Jiuxiao previously endured it because of his status as a veteran and elder, but now he can't bear it no matter what.
He pressed his palm on the table, his phoenix eyes were cold, he looked at Duke Ding coldly, and said word by word.
There was a "bang".
As his words fell, the teacup held in Duke Dingguo's hand suddenly shattered, and there was still some hot tea splashing everywhere.
Duke Ding was startled by this unexpected turn of events, he raised his sleeves to cover his face, and hurriedly stood up from his seat in embarrassment.
The hot water on his sleeve and the tea leaves splashed on the ground made him look very ugly.
He has always been decent, when has he been so dishonorable.
Dingguo put down his hand with a gloomy face, raised his hand to touch his face, grabbed the tea leaves that had been soaked, and sneered, "What does King Ding mean?"
"Means nothing."
Gu Jiuxiao stood up. He was taller than Ding Guogong. When he looked at him, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes were cold, and there was no emotion in his eyes, "I just think that Ding Guogong is inevitably confused when he is old, so you should be sober."
After he finished speaking, he brushed off the dust on his body, and said indifferently, "If Ding Guogong stops me just to let me listen to some crazy words, then it's better to choose another person, I think that person will be very happy to hear it.
I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you! "
After Gu Jiuxiao finished speaking in a deep voice, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
This means that they are completely uninterested, and there is no need to talk about it at all.
It made him even more angry than Gu Yan! Duke Ding watched his back go away with an ugly face, and kicked over the tables and chairs in the private room with a fierce kick.
How unreasonable! It just doesn't make sense! One by one, they all only know how to disobey him! Duke Ding was furious in his heart, he was not obedient if he was satisfied, and dissatisfied with those who were obedient, the children under his knees, even the most obedient queen in the past, began to rebel against him! Resentment mixed with anger began to surge in his heart, and he was stuck in the messy private room, panting heavily for a few times before he calmed down a little.
Dingguo returned to Dingguo's mansion with a gloomy face, and bumped into Zhang Lihua who was dressed in riding clothes.
Thinking of Gu Jiuxiao's disdain for his most outstanding granddaughter, Ding Guogong was extremely annoyed for a moment, and unexpectedly vented his anger.
"Bouncing around, what does it look like
You are the eldest daughter of my Dingguo Mansion, and you don't behave like a lady, do you want my Dingguo Mansion to make people laugh? "
Zhang Lihua, who originally planned to reunite happily with her little sisters, froze. She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the ground without saying a word.
Silently resisted.
In normal times, it would be fine if Ding Guogong had finished reprimanding him, but this meeting had just been disobeyed by Gu Jiuxiao, and the bad breath in his heart was flourishing, and Zhang Lihua, who hit the gunpoint, suffered disaster.
"Why, are you dumb
What is your attitude when the elders talk to you? "
Zhang Lihua's back straightened in an instant, her white teeth bit her red lips, and the slight tingling pain brought back the unhappiness in her heart. Zhang Lihua endured it, but she still endured it and said respectfully, "Grandfather, Lihua just wanted to get together with her friends and forget herself in the mansion for a while. Don't worry, grandfather. Once she goes outside the mansion, Lihua will definitely abide by her words and deeds and will not embarrass the Duke's Mansion."
Duke Ding's anger was not exhausted yet, he shouted angrily, "How did I teach you to abide by your words and deeds, this should be the case inside and outside the house, don't slack off in the slightest!"
"Yes..." Zhang Lihua had to put on an obedient attitude even though she was always unwilling in every possible way.
Duke Dingguo had planned to let her go, but suddenly remembered something, and frowned again, "Who is the friend you are looking for
Second Miss Liu is a concubine in the palace, do you have a token to enter the palace? "
Zhang Lihua was taken aback, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, how could she go to play with Liu Pingting
She thought for a while, and said honestly in a low voice, "It's not Miss Liu Er, Lihua made an appointment with former Concubine Kang and Concubine Ding."
Determined princess
Duke Ding's frown deepened, forming two mountain peaks.
He looked at her with a strange expression, "What do you think of King Ding and his wife?"
Then he saw the eyes of his eldest granddaughter, who had always been calm, elegant and prudent, brighten up, and she praised Wang Hao for half a cup of tea.
Ding Guogong's expression was weird and ugly. If it wasn't for the fact that there is no precedent for women to love women, he would suspect that Zhang Lihua was influenced by her little uncle and embarked on that disgusting old path.
But even if he didn't think about it, he still felt impetuous and instinctively displeased, and couldn't help shouting angrily, "Shut up, who wants to hear you praising the princess, I'm mainly asking about your impression of King Ding."
Zhang Lihua curled her lips, "Ding Wang is wise and ruthless."
The evaluation is very pertinent and perfunctory.
Duke Ding regarded this as a compliment, and finally his face softened, and he couldn't help laughing, "The grandfather let you enter the Ding Palace, be the princess of Ding Wang, and jointly preside over the residence of Queen Ding with the girl from the Qin family you admire, what do you think?"
Zhang Lihua looked up at him openly, and that momentary gaze made Ding Guogong feel that she was looking at a fool, which made him quite annoyed, "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"
"Grandfather, you may have contracted a cold. Lihua saw that you had a fever. Have you ever seen a doctor?"
Duke Dingguo's mind was buzzing, and for some reason, he felt that this sentence was somewhat familiar. It was similar to King Ding's sentence, which made you sober and sober.
He was stunned for a moment and couldn't breathe, he raised his hand angrily, "You!"
Zhang Lihua was still a little afraid of her powerful grandfather, and she didn't know how she had the courage to secretly insult her grandfather just now, but now seeing him raising his hand angrily and trying to hit her, her face paled in fright, and she couldn't help taking a step back.
This angered Ding Guogong even more, he let go, and sneered, "I think you have been with that uneducated wild girl for a long time, so you learned such messy things."
Zhang Lihua was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the uneducated wild girl he was scolding refers to Gentiana Qin, her eyes turned red immediately, anger overwhelmed the fear in her bones, and she said loudly, "Grandfather's words are wrong. You have never seen Miss Qin, so how can you slander her behind her back? This is not in line with the honest and upright style you have always demanded. Could it be that grandfather has always allowed state officials to set fires, but not the common people to light lamps so double standards?"
Duke Ding didn't know what the double standard meant for a while, but he knew what it meant that only the state officials were allowed to set fires and the people were not allowed to light lamps. He knew that it was not a good word. He was contradicted again and again in a day, and he couldn't help blowing his beard and staring.
Zhang Lihua became anxious immediately, and rushed out regardless.
She has an appointment with Miss Qin Niao Na, how can she keep her word! As soon as she moved, the guards of Duke Dingguo rushed over and surrounded her, "Miss Sun, please don't make things difficult for the little ones."
Zhang Lihua stomped her feet resentfully, turned around and left.
After arriving at her boudoir, her parents came over with sad faces.
Zhang Lihua's father is Zhang Qingsong, the eldest son of Duke Ding. He is usually the most obedient, but in terms of strength, he is not as good as the other brothers.
Seeing that Zhang Lihua was still wearing that riding outfit, sitting in the yard feeding the fish sullenly, he couldn't help but sigh, "He is your father's father, your real grandfather, how can you contradict him for an outsider?"
Zhang Lihua snorted, turned around and ignored him.
Zhang Qingsong was not angry either, and sat down beside her in a good-tempered manner, "You, in Dingguo Mansion, you can live a good life by following him."
"You have followed him for most of your life, and you may not be able to live well."
Zhang Lihua muttered something in a low voice, although the voice was low, but Zhang Qingsong was sitting next to her, and finally heard it, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he coughed softly.
"You, I don't know who this temper looks like."
Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter sadly, and sighed softly, "Your grandfather named you Lihuahua, Lihuahua. I heard that there was an empress named Lihua in a certain dynasty. Don't you know what he came up with when he named you this name?"
Zhang Lihua's heart skipped a beat when she thought that her grandfather wanted to marry her into Duke Ding's mansion. She suddenly turned around to look at her parents, and frowned, "Grandpa, does he want to support King Ding to take the throne?"
"Originally it belonged to the third prince, but he is so like your little uncle, yet he refuses to obey. Your grandfather is bound to win King Ding. I'm afraid that if he goes out today, he will contact King Ding and want to get closer..." Mrs. Zhang analyzed softly for her daughter.
Zhang Lihua's eyeballs rolled, thinking of Dingguo Gongcai's frantic look, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You girl, you're still laughing at this time."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but nodded her head.
Zhang Lihua fell back after being poked by her, and Zhang Qingsong hurriedly supported her daughter's waist to prevent her from falling.
"Grandfather must have hit a wall with Prince Ding."
Zhang Lihua said firmly, "It's because of my temper that I'm so bad."
"And what do you know?"
Mrs. Zhang looked angrily at her daughter who laughed wantonly.
"That's inevitable, Miss Qin is so good, how can she be compared with a mere emperor
Although King Ding was a little blind before, he has already been cured of his illness, and he can distinguish which is more important. Besides, if he really wants that position, he can take it by himself, so why bother..." Zhang Lihua thought of Duke Ding's appearance just now, and knew that she must have guessed right. Suddenly, her impression of Gu Jiuxiao improved a little bit. She felt that such a person could match Miss Qin, and she was finally relieved.
Zhang Lihua ignored the slight ripples in her heart that could be ignored, and sighed quietly, "It's because I was worried that my grandfather would make a foolish move. If Miss Qin was hurt because of me, then I would rather die."
From his daughter's mouth, Zhang Qingsong and Mrs. Zhang turned pale when they heard the word death for the first time.
I didn't expect that Miss Qin would have such a great influence on her daughter.
Zhang Qingsong, who is well aware of his father's behavior habits, knows that his daughter's worries are not wrong.
He has never disobeyed his father all his life, but he hesitated for a moment when he looked at the well-raised daughter beside him. He thought of his younger brother Zhang Sinian, Zhang Qingfeng, Zhang Qingyan who had been trapped in the harem all his life, and then thought of Zhang Lihua's words of death just now. "Then I'll go, go far away, go where he can't see."
Zhang Lihua sneered, "I don't believe it, how can he succeed without a protagonist."
Zhang Qingsong fell silent, two villains tugging at each other in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Zhang Lihua failed to leave the house, and Qin Gentiana and Liu Yaona on the other side waited for a long time but did not find anyone, so they couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Qin Gentian felt uneasy, so he sent someone to Dingguo's mansion.
It happened that she bumped into the person Zhang Lihua secretly asked to deliver the letter. She only said that she was ill and the doctor told her to rest for a while and couldn't go out.
"It's strange, Lihua's body has always been in good health, so why did she get sick?"
Liu Yaona was puzzled, Qin Gentian thought about the recent weather, and said hesitantly, "Perhaps the weather has been changing recently. In this situation, it is indeed easy to get sick."
She said, thinking of something, she couldn't help laughing, "Why don't you bring Wanwan out?"
Liu Yaona was a little embarrassed, she frowned and said, "Do you still remember Ah Hui with the scar on his face that Mr. Medical Sage saved
Now he is Wanwan's playmate, together all the time..." Qin Geng still remembered, looked at Liu Yaona's expression, and roughly understood.
She didn't say much, the two had a conversation, and then a secret guard sent over the information, "Princess, this is the list of people who were in the ancestral hall of Mingfu that day."
Qin Gentiana raised his hand to take it, and watched it carefully.
Liu Yaona also heard about Mingrou's misery, and she couldn't help sighing softly, "Poor Mingrou, but he ran into a thief and was killed..." Mingfeng who killed the real murderer, in order to preserve Mingrou's reputation, publicized the matter as Bu Nan's male disguised as a maidservant who entered the house to steal, but Mingrou inadvertently knocked him out, and lost his life.
In this way, those rumors that insulted Mingrou were cut off a lot.
Coupled with the fact that the first man disguised himself as a woman, and the famous third prince Gu Yan, all of a sudden, there was a wave of inspections in the capital, but any family who gave birth to a woman, or any family or palace that wanted to buy a maid, must be verified to prove his integrity, and the existence of a man pretending to be a woman is never allowed.
Qin Gentian looked at the information sent by the dark guard seriously, and suddenly, his finger stopped on a person's name.
She looked at the words "Yongcui, Prince Xian's Mansion", and tapped lightly.
It seems that she has to find a way to see this Xian Wangfei again.
