The news that Mrs. Liang saved the British princess and Gu Yuqi found the reason for the frightened horse spread like wings, and it spread throughout the camp in a short while. Seeing Liang's heroic appearance with his own eyes, and seeing Miss Hou's mansion, he was not surprised. In addition, the guards who participated in the rescue were out of respect for General Liang. The heroic deeds of his only daughter were also unabashedly praised. Suddenly, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou and Miss Yi became the most popular figures in the entire camp. Gu Yuqi's deeds at the inn were also revealed by others. Gu Yuqi and Liang Shi seem like legends.
Mrs. Liang and Gu Yuqi didn't know this. They said goodbye to Yunyi after saving someone, and they took each other back to their tent. Mrs. Liang changed Gu Yuqi's clothes, and ordered Chunxing to take Gu Yuqi's snow-covered boots to dry. I was afraid that Gu Yuqi would fall ill again due to the cold. Give her medicine.
Just after finishing these, I heard His Majesty's reward coming from outside.
Two days in a row, two rewards, although there is nothing particularly valuable. But this kind of glory is something that Daqi has never had in the past ten years.
The door of Gu Huaizhong's tent was about to be squeezed down by the nobles who came to congratulate him, Gu Huaizhong didn't know what he was like, he was happy, but he had faint advantages and worries.
I am happy that my daughter is so upbeat. Now he has gained face in front of His Majesty, as long as he continues to work hard secretly, he may not be far from his wish. What worried him was the intimacy he saw with Liang's mother and daughter outside the racetrack and the slight alienation in Liang's eyes when he saw him.
If the mother and daughter were really divorced from him, wouldn't his previous efforts be to make wedding clothes for others
He also made up his mind to be gentler to Mrs. Liang in the future, but if he was gentle to Mrs. Liang, he was afraid that Mrs. Liu would quarrel with him. For a while, Gu Huaizhong also felt that he was very contradictory.
It is true that he has feelings for Liang, but the ten years of separation, coupled with the ulterior knot in his heart, have wiped out the little bit of tenderness at the beginning. Beside him is still the Liu family whom he accidentally saved.
However, His Majesty's rewards twice in a row made him very happy. He is indeed a newcomer, but look at you so-called aristocratic families, which one of you can get such an honor? Thinking of this, Gu Huaizhong felt a little light when walking.
Not to mention the rewards from His Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jing and His Highness the Seventh Prince both sent people to deliver things. Although they didn't specify who it was for, didn't those cakes just make it clear that they were for their daughters? He is Dingyuan Hou Yicao, what kind of cakes do you want to eat? The etiquette is light, the important thing is the meaning in it. Among the several princes, apart from the crown prince, His Royal Highness King Jing and His Highness Shun Wang who are still in Jiangbei Camp are the most famous. It is also a good thing that Gu Yuqi is favored by His Highness Jing Wang. Now that Gu Yuqi is still young, He also had time to find a good lord among several princes to pave the way.
The Duke of England even came to the door to thank him personally, making Gu Huaizhong even more happy to keep his mouth shut.
The British Duke is a hereditary century-old family with meritorious service in the founding of the country. Although he is very low-key now, his foundation is there. Usually he can’t make it together even if he wants to. Now the young British Duke specially came to visit. Glory really fell from the sky.
In his complacency, he forgot that this kind of glory did not fall from the sky, but was earned by Liang Huaiyu by his own ability. Princess Pinghu also sent someone to bring things over, and also specially sent two imperial physicians to diagnose Liang Shi and Gu Yuqi respectively.
In short, the most proud thing in the whole camp is Gu Huaizhong.
The British Duke was reminded by Yunyi, and quickly found out the reason for the frightened horse, and escorted several people back to Beijing. As for the secret, he will not reveal it to outsiders. Everyone is knowledgeable and interesting, no matter how curious they are, they will not inquire at this juncture, and will only inquire slowly when they return to the capital. The Duke of England has received the favor of Liang Shi and Gu Yuqi, and he will remember it in his heart. Even the Duke and Duchess of England are very grateful to Liang Shi. Not to mention her life was picked up by Liang Huaiyu, if other guards were to rescue her, there would inevitably be tugging and hugging, and her reputation would be ruined! So Mrs. Liang not only saved her life, but also preserved her reputation, why couldn't she remember it.
Duke Ying personally thanked Gu Huaizhong, and she did not forget to send a greeting card to Liang Huaiyu, and besides expressing her thanks, she also invited to meet again in the capital. Liang Huaiyu was also forthright, so she replied to a post, and at the same time asked someone to send some supplements, and the British lady's affection for her skyrocketed. She is not only the wife of the British Duke, but also the first lady of the Duke of Wu's mansion. Mrs. Wu's wife loves her daughter, and she is grateful for Liang's life-saving grace and sent a letter to thank Liang Huaiyu. In this way, Liang has made friends with two people without knowing it. A government office.
In the Great Qi Dynasty, there were only two remaining duke mansions, both of which were meritorious families who founded the country, and the Liang family made friends with them all at once.
It was night, and all the mansions were resting in their tents. Princess Pinghu called Yun Yi and Yun Ke over to ask questions about the inn and the horses that frightened them during the day. She had already listened to the people below in general, but felt that it was not satisfying, so she simply called the two nephews who had experienced this incident over, warmed up the wine, and asked them carefully.
The prince got the letter, so he would not let Princess Pinghu get too close to Yunyi, so he took some prey that he hunted during the day, and went to Princess Pinghu's tent in the name of sending the prey.
Princess Pinghu's big tent is gorgeous and warm. As soon as she entered, there was a faint smell of wine. Princess Pinghu changed out of her gorgeous palace attire and only wore a comfortable long silk dress with a brocade shawl on her shoulders. Yi and Yun Ke also changed out of their prince's clothes, and they were dressed very casually. The aunts and nephews sat on the thick animal skins, leaning on the huge soft cushions behind them, feeling indescribably comfortable. When Prince Yunxuan entered, he saw such a happy scene.
His heart twitched slightly, and there was some envy in his eyes.
He was established as a prince since he was a child, and his words and deeds are supervised and whipped. He also knows how many eyes are staring at him, so he is cautious in every word and deed, even in front of the elders of the royal family. He habitually maintains his good image, for fear of making a slight mistake. It's really not as comfortable as Yun Yi and Yun Ke are usually.
Even in front of Princess Pinghu, he must always keep his identity in mind, so he won't lean carelessly and crookedly like Yun Yi and Yun Ke.
Seeing Yun Xuan coming in, Yun Yi and Yun Ke hurriedly got up and saluted, and the harmonious painting style in the room just now changed suddenly.
Even Yunxuan himself felt a little frustrated, but he still bowed to Princess Pinghu politely as usual.
"Okay, come and sit." Princess Pinghu just listened to the excitement, and waved to Yunxuan, motioning him to sit beside her. Yunxuan walked over and sat down firmly. He looked at Yunyi and Yunke After a while, both of them were still standing on the side, so they said, "The two younger brothers also sit."
"Yes." Yun Yi and Yun Ke sat down again, not as casually as before, but straightened their backs, sitting upright.
"Where did you just say?" Princess Pinghu didn't mind the change of painting style, she asked enthusiastically, "Xiao Wu, when you passed by, did you see that girl from the Gu family rummaging through the snow?"
"Yeah, aunt," Yun Yi said with a smile, "the Miss Gu family is also cute and tight. She doesn't have the slightest airs of a lady. She drilled in the snowdrifts to find clues. That action is indescribably funny. She just recovered from a serious illness. , dressed like a small ball, burrowing around in the snow, but my aunt didn’t see what she was like at that time, it was my nephew, I almost laughed when I saw it, it would be bad if I laughed, the British Madame's life and death are unknown, and if my nephew really laughed out loud, I don't know what kind of disaster he will cause."
Now that the matter is over, he can naturally joke. After he finished speaking, he glanced away at the prince. If today's matter was not resolved so quickly with Gu Yuqi's help, I am afraid that his good brother will take the opportunity to participate in his book.
Prince Yunxuan had a faint smile in his eyes, but his heart was filled with indescribable disappointment. His father became more and more worried about himself. Even Yunxuan didn't know why this happened. What was done for him was handed over to Yunyi this year.
He really wanted to take this opportunity to ask for the job back, but Yunyi was very lucky, and solved the problem on the spot, but someone in the British government was making trouble, and the target was also the British princess, so with other people It just doesn't matter.
"The little girl from the Gu family is interesting." Princess Pinghu could almost imagine Gu Yuqi wearing a ball and drilling around in the snow, clapping her hands and laughing, "Why is this child so clever? There are so many people present The grown-ups were frightened, so they didn't think about it, but she was careful and blessed, she found the clue right away, but she helped Xiaowu a lot!"
"Fifth brother is also lucky." Yun Xuan laughed, "It's all caused by the British government. If other things are involved, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"That's right." Yun Yi interjected, but stopped talking, just pursed her lips and smiled.
Yun Ke lowered his eyebrows slightly, hearing them all talking about Gu Yuqi, he couldn't help being both happy and angry in his heart.
Speaking of which, Gu Yuqi's troubles have never been experienced in her previous life. Without the ability to predict, she can still handle it so well. It can only be said that Gu Yuqi is really smart. But Gu Yuqi still cheated. Her ten-year-old body is not filled with a ten-year-old soul, but has gone through the wind and rain of the previous life.
Why isn't he cheating
Gu Yuqi like this would probably become more and more important in the hearts of the imperial brothers. It was only to blame that this dead woman didn't know how to restrain herself, and made troubles in everything, which was even bigger than in her previous life.
If it really fell into the eyes of several royal brothers and father, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome in the future.
However, Yun Ke had to admit that Gu Yuqi did not deliberately become famous. He could see that Gu Yuqi had been trying to restrain herself in this life. From Chen Hanlin's mouth, it is different from the previous life. Could it be that everything is predestined, even if Gu Yuqi is unwilling, when Gu Yuqi should be famous, fate will arrange her in a different way and she will still escape? If so, then Gu Yuqi should still be his concubine in this life just like her previous life.
Thinking that in the near future, he would also be arranged to marry the Murong family just like in the last life, he couldn't help feeling somewhat conflicted and uneasy in his heart.
It should not be too far before he gets married. If he remembers well, Concubine De will call him in for questioning in the spring of next year. In spring, he will be sixteen years old, the age when he was crowned king in his previous life. Concubine De will let him marry the daughter of Murong Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and shortly after he becomes king, she will take the opportunity to place him in the Ministry of War to pave the way for Yunyi.
These are the paths he should take.
But now Yunyi talks about Gu Yuqi with a strong interest. Although Gu Yuqi is still young, noble girls in the Qi Dynasty generally marry early, and it is very common for people to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Three years later , Gu Yuqi has reached the age where she can be married, so there is no guarantee that Yunyi will not attack her.
Maybe he really needs to find a way to tie Gu Yuqi to his side first, but what should the Murong family do.
Although the Murong family died early in the previous life, he relied on the power of the Murong family to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of War.
"By the way, do you remember that last time in aunt's other courtyard, didn't you make a bet?" Princess Pinghu suddenly slapped her thigh, and pulled Yun Ke back who was in deep thought. He looked up at Princess Pinghu Those radiant eyes.
"I remember." Yun Xuan smiled, "Nephew still has a jade pendant with Auntie."
He actually regretted it at the time. As the crown prince, it was really inappropriate to bet so lightly on a noble daughter, but at that time, in order to please Princess Pinghu, he said everything, so naturally it was not easy to take it back. Fortunately, although Princess Pinghu was a little noisy, she still had a certain amount of advance and retreat when she was old, and she would not cause any trouble, so he didn't think about it anymore.
"Look at your stinginess." Princess Pinghu glanced at the crown prince and said angrily, "Could it be that aunt will hack your jade pendant? Do you know that your fifth younger brother took out a house, your jade pendant is Meiyu, but a house is not a good house?"
"Yes yes yes. My aunt taught me that." Yun Xuan laughed, "Fifth Brother forgive me, brother, I am poor."
He was laughing, Yun Yi's eyelids twitched a little, and he was also excited at the time, unexpectedly spending such a large sum of money on a house, but fortunately his mother's family didn't have many other things, just a lot of money, everyone knew that, It's just that when Yun Xuan said that, it was a bit eye-catching.
"Brother Prince is joking." Yun Yi immediately laughed, "His Majesty's beautiful jade is priceless, not to mention changing a house."
Let alone the eldest, who doesn't know the value of that piece of beautiful jade? That was a tribute given by His Majesty back then, let alone an ordinary house, even three or four houses would not be worth it.
The two brothers confronted each other with each other, Yun Ke just pretended not to understand.
Princess Pinghu waved her hand, "Okay, okay, what does it mean to come to my aunt one by one and cry poorly? Are you betting or not?"
"Of course I listen to my aunt." Yun Xuan immediately responded and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay." Princess Pinghu winked at the maid, who immediately fetched the prince's beautiful jade, "No, take it. This jade pendant was given by the emperor, and it is not too bad for you to take it out as a bet." good."
Yunxuan immediately took the jade pendant over, got up and gave a deep salute to Princess Pinghu, "My aunt still understands me." This is the difficulty for him, if he is really won by Yun Yi in the future, if His Majesty asks, How should he answer, that's why he regretted it to death, even if it was a bet, he couldn't take out this jade pendant as a bet in a moment of enthusiasm. Now that Princess Pinghu took the initiative to hand it back, it just made him overjoyed.
Princess Pinghu gave him a white look with a smile, "I can't afford the prince's gift." She pulled Yun Xuan to let him sit down, and said with a smile, "I gave you the jade pendant, but I don't want to make such a bet either. Forfeit, take a look at the prince and get some money out!" She likes to be lively, but the premise is to be safe, the prince's jade pendant is too conspicuous, if any unnecessary troubles are caused in the future, it is not good for her. Is there anyone who has not become a fox
"What my aunt said is true." The prince heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Silver is everywhere, but it won't attract attention. "My nephew will give out silver equal to the value of the fifth brother's house. I wonder how much the fifth brother's house is worth?" After speaking, he looked at Yun Yi.
"Not much, just 80,000 taels of silver." Yun Yi said with a smile, "It was a gift from my grandfather on my brother's 12th birthday."
Eighty thousand taels! Yun Xuan only felt that his brain was a little ache... 80,000 taels was nothing to the rich and powerful Yun Yi,... but it was a big sum to his Prince's Mansion.
The words have already been spoken, so there is no room for repentance, "Okay." Yun Xuan gritted his teeth and smiled.
"Xiaoqi's lucky winner comes from this palace." Princess Pinghu said to Yun Ke with a smile.
Yun Xuan suddenly felt that it was too unfair, why Xiao Qi said that he was poor, someone would help him with the lottery, can he go back and say that he is also poor!
"It's His Royal Highness betting with Fifth Brother, so I won't join in the fun." Yun Ke was unwilling to participate, so he said immediately.
"You child!" Princess Pinghu raised her hand and slapped Yun Ke, "Don't be so disappointing, okay?"
"That's right, Seventh Brother, don't spoil Auntie's interest. I'll pay for your share, and don't let Auntie spend money. Auntie just needs to draw a lottery." Yun Yi said with a smile.
"This..." Yun Ke frowned. Yun Yi is rich, and he has confidence in Gu Yuqi. He knows that Gu Yuqi is good at martial arts, but it doesn't mean he should bet on Gu Yuqi. Although he hated Gu Yuqi, when he thought of Gu Yuqi being used as a bargaining chip by Yun Yi and Yun Xuan, he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't do this, that's it, so it's settled?" Yun Yi thought that Yun Ke didn't want him to spend money, but he didn't think it was because of Gu Yuqi, so he lowered his voice and said to Yun Ke, "I am confident that I will win. "
Yun Ke lowered his eyes slightly, "Then respect is worse than obedience." He naturally knew that Gu Yuqi was good at martial arts, and Yun Yi would definitely win, but the point of his displeasure was not whether he won or not, okay
"Okay, okay, Xiao Wudao is a good guy." Princess Pinghu is naturally happy, now she doesn't even need to pay money, no matter which side wins, she will have a lot of fun to watch, and she can also draw the lottery, so why not do it.
Princess Pinghu thought for a while and smiled, "Since it's settled, then tomorrow, I will use my post to invite Miss Gu to come over. Then we will see the real chapter."
Several people spoke back again, and they dispersed after midnight.
After Yun Xuan returned to his tent, he felt sorry for the 80,000 taels of silver all the time, and couldn't help being a little absent-minded.
"What happened to the prince when he went to his aunt's place?" The princess asked carefully when she was changing Yunxuan's clothes.
Yun Xuan frowned, but still told his princess about the bet.
The Crown Princess Li is from the Dinghaibo Mansion, and she has been married for three years, but she has nothing. Fortunately, the Crown Prince still gave her some face, and did not accept a side concubine. Even the concubines of the Prince's Mansion are bestowed Avoiding Zi Tang, just waiting for her to give birth to a son.
But her stomach is so disappointing, and there is still no movement up to now, Li Shi is worried from the bottom of her heart, and she is also cautious with the prince on weekdays.
Seeing that the prince was willing to tell her about this tonight, I was also happy from the bottom of my heart, so I felt that I must share the prince's worries. Throw Shuai hall dead.
"Does the prince know how to test tomorrow?" Li asked tentatively.
"I want to test her riding and shooting, etc." the prince said absent-mindedly. "Forget it, go to sleep, maybe Dingyuanhou and Mrs. Dingyuanhou didn't teach her martial arts." Now he himself doesn't believe it... Dingyuanhou was born as a military general. After traveling all over the hunting ground, how could he not know that the probability of their daughter not being able to fight is so low that it cannot be lowered.
Thinking of this, Yun Xuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, the 80,000 taels of silver was for naught!
Li Shi tenderly waited on Yun Xuan to sleep, the husband and wife couldn't help being affectionate, Li Shi could sense that Yun Xuan had something on his mind, even when the two were lingering, it was not as usual, but It was hastily collected.
She couldn't help feeling a little sad in her heart.
In the past two days, Gu Yuqi's name has been very famous, and Mrs. Li is also very curious about Gu Yuqi.
Originally, she had a good impression of Gu Yuqi, but now because of her, the prince is worried, and Li Shi has a suspicion of Gu Yuqi.
Seeing that Yun Xuan had been busy for a day, she was lingering with herself again, and fell asleep tiredly, so she got up quietly, summoned her confidant maid, and whispered a few words in her ear, seeing that the maid had taken orders. Only then did she tidy herself up and sleep next to Yun Yi again.
If the prince doesn't like it, she will quietly solve it for him. This is a qualified princess, isn't it
