Maybe the emperor's eyes were too revealing, so the woman paused for a moment and glared at him blankly.
This glance not only did not make the emperor angry, but also made him more interested.
After the dishes were placed on the table and the group was about to leave, the emperor suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
"What other instructions does the guest have?" The woman turned around with questions in her eyes.
"You stay here and wait." The emperor pointed at the leading woman.
The emperor's actions made Ning Ze raise his eyebrows slightly. The woman didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and waved to the people behind her. Soon, there were only three people left in the room.
The woman stayed at the table to prepare dishes and pour wine for the two of them. Her posture was reserved and her eyes were not squinting. The more this happened, the more the emperor's eyes stayed on her. Even Ning Ze could tell something was wrong, but due to his identity, he just pretended that he didn't see anything.
Fortunately, even if he was interested in someone, the emperor would not do anything in front of Ning Ze. When the food was almost done, he waved the person away.
Because of what happened in the middle, the emperor was in a much better mood than before, and he was smiling when he left.
Although the two left, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard was left behind. The man handed out a waist card in his hand. Soon, the shopkeeper of Tingxiang Chanyuan came over in person.
Although he was just the shopkeeper of a restaurant, he had seen many noble people. The man in front of him, who had the waist badge of a guard, looked like someone from the palace. The shopkeeper quickly became concerned.
"But what's wrong with the shop that makes customers dissatisfied?"
"The girl who served our master just now is very good. This is what he asked me to reward her for." After that, the middle-aged man took out a jade pendant and handed it over.
The shopkeeper was stunned and frowned slightly, but when he saw the jade pendant, he took a breath.
This jade pendant is not big, and the whole body is shiny and green, but there is a dragon carved in the middle of the disc.
Who dares to make a jade pendant in the shape of a dragon? Coupled with the voice and appearance of the man in front of him, he began to guess that there might be a special customer in their store.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything. He took the jade pendant with both hands and said with more than one degree of respect, "Don't worry, this guest, the jade pendant will
It will definitely be handed over to Su Xin. "
"Oh, that girl's name is Su Xin. She is a blessed name."
After saying that, the middle-aged man didn't stay much and left with long strides.
After he left, the shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and sent the waiter to call Su Xin.
The maids serving in their shop are all beautiful, and it is not that they have not been favored by nobles in the past. However, due to the face of the boss behind them, no one dares to reach out, but this one is not someone their boss can afford to offend. Besides, as the person said, being favored by that person is indeed a blessing.
Su Xin came over quickly and didn't show any surprise when she took the jade pendant from the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper didn't notice it, but just repeatedly ordered: "Su Xin, that customer has a distinguished status, and I'm afraid he will come to the store again in the future, you..."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper. I'm very considerate and won't embarrass you." She turned around and blocked the shopkeeper's unfinished words.
Seeing that she was so knowledgeable, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if he encountered such a hot-tempered person, he would not only offend the distinguished guests, but even cause trouble for the boss.
Let’s not mention what happened in Tingxiang Temple for now. After Gu Yong returned home, he learned from his servants that Gu Mingmou had returned, so he ordered Gu Tong to call for someone.
It was said that parents ordered matchmakers, and he was naturally qualified to intervene in the eldest daughter's marriage. He would marry the eldest daughter to the third prince as a concubine. In the future, when the third prince ascends the throne, the Gu family will surely prosper.
Gu Yong felt that he had made the right choice, but he did not dare to go directly to Xue for a showdown. He was sure that Xue would never agree, so he could only go to his daughter first, hoping that she could understand her father's feelings. A lot of hard work.
When Gu Mingmou finally heard these affectionate words from his mouth, he was not as angry as he had imagined, probably because he had already heard the same words once in his previous life.
Although slightly different, the meaning is actually the same. As the eldest daughter, she must make sacrifices for the family.
She clearly remembered what her good father told her before sending her to Yongninghou Mansion as a concubine.
In his previous life, it was because his second daughter had become the emperor, so he sacrificed himself as the eldest daughter without hesitation. What about this life? It's probably because of what Prince Jin's Mansion promised.
.
Gu Mingmou didn't want to know how her biological father treated her daughter as an object and traded with others. It was just a joke.
The world is so unfair to women, just like her mother, who has clearly exhausted her feelings for this person, but can only guard the Gu family for the rest of her life.
And even if she no longer wants to recognize her father, she can only be a member of the Gu family in this life. Now that she has to rely on the Gu family, she can't break up with Gu Yong, even though she no longer has any affection for this so-called father.
When Gu Yong finished speaking, Gu Mingmou just remained silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
Seeing her indifferent appearance, Gu Yong was naturally angry and felt more and more that his eldest daughter was useless, not even a little bit worse than her second daughter.
Seeing that Gu Yong's face was getting more and more ugly, Gu Mingmou said slowly, "My daughter's marriage is decided by her parents. Has the father discussed it with the mother?"
Gu Yong's face froze, "Your mother is not in good health, she doesn't need to worry about this little thing."
Gu Mingmou shook his head and said, "Dad, could it be that I have forgotten that my daughter's marriage was decided by my mother and Madam Yongning. Even if I want to break off the engagement, my mother has to go there in person."
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you agree, my father will naturally have a way to break off the engagement."
The third prince gave him a promise, so Gu Yong certainly didn't have to worry about this.
Gu Mingmu looked at the confident Gu Yong and gave a mocking smile, "In that case, let's do what father wants."
Seeing that she finally nodded in agreement, Gu Yong's expression softened, and his tone was much gentler than before, "You are a good boy, and your father will not wrong you. After all, Qi Lang is only the eldest son of the Hou family, and what will happen in the future will still matter." It's hard to say. Even though you are just a concubine in the third prince's house, your status is not lower than others, and the benefits are yet to come. "
Gu Mingmou smiled and said nothing. She didn't know how her father could say these words without conscience. Is Mrs. Hou worse than a concubine of the prince's palace
He never thought that even if the third prince could ascend the throne, whether he, his daughter, would have the life to enjoy it.
Of course he wouldn't think about it, after all, it won't be him who suffers, and he is not the only daughter, Gu Mingmou thought sarcastically in his heart.
