Otherwise, how can I get rid of you? Qingguan cursed in his heart.
Because this guy was an only child, everyone in the British government pampered him like a baby. Over time, he developed a unique personality. He liked new and exciting things and didn't like to stick to the rules.
The identity of Qian Ziqi's cousin has aroused his curiosity. If he gets entangled with her again because of his outstanding words and deeds, wouldn't he repeat the same mistakes in his previous life.
Qingguan said lightly: "The so-called maturity means following the teachings of my boudoir. The prince sent me a private message, so that's all I know. If there are those who are uninformed and prefer gossip, Qingguan's maiden name will be ruined."
"..." Yin Lifeng was speechless.
He was afraid that she wouldn't come, so he mentioned in the letter the matter of the back garden of Zhen Guogong's mansion, which was thousands of miles away from her maiden name.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, please invite me." Qingguan struck while the iron was hot.
This was said very directly, without even saying the word "get out".
Yin Lifeng never lacked the palace in front of outsiders. Although he was disappointed in his heart, he did not show any strangeness on his face and said with a smile: "It's really time to go. If Miss Sixth has any difficulties, you can come to the British Government to see me."
Qingguan smiled and said: "Qingguan is still well in Gu's house. I don't dare to trouble the prince. I'm sorry to see you off far. You have a good trip."
Reluctant to take even one more step, Yin Lifeng suddenly felt completely bored.
I had been thinking about it for two days, and then I came to see it unexpectedly. Yin Lifeng sneered twice and walked away.
After finally getting the person away, Qingguan looked at his slender back, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and turned around to leave.
While turning around, she took out the letter from her arms, opened it and took a look. With a slight movement of her green fingers, she tore it into two pieces.
It was a March day and there was still a chill in the garden.
Qingguan slowed down, a flash of doubt in his eyes.
She had only met Yin Lifeng twice, and asked herself why he would notice her when there were no flaws in her body.
"stop."
A scolding sound rang in her ears. Qingguan looked up blankly and saw sisters Gu Qingyun and Gu Qinglian. She said expressionlessly: "What are your orders, two sisters?"
"Let me ask you, what did Prince Yin say to you?" Gu Qingyun said rudely.
Qingguan looked at her lightly, "Why should I tell you?"
Gu Qingyun's expression turned cold and she sneered, "Sixth sister, you have to be self-aware. The position of Crown Princess is not something you can imagine."
"Yes, Sixth Sister, who are you and what is Prince Yin's identity? Don't get confused."
Qingguan sincerely despises these two people and is too lazy to talk nonsense.
"I am a legitimate daughter. At least I can think about it. The two sisters are different. But there is still hope for being a concubine. After all, an aunt does not need any status or family background. She only needs to be good-looking and know how to serve men."
Never had the two concubines heard such explicit words. Their faces were filled with embarrassment and their mouths were open and speechless.
Qingguan didn't wait for the two to reply, then smiled and said: "Aunt Liu and Aunt Xu are both here, why don't you two sisters learn a lesson, and then you can get what you want. Prince Yin is a compassionate person, and he has a small hat. The sedan is still willing to be carried over."
Simple, crude, direct, a surefire way to fight in a house. The two concubines were so ashamed and angry that they were about to collapse.
Qing Guan drifted away, her inner thoughts were indeed effective, and she should do so from now on.
At night, Mr. Gu came back from the Yamen. Before he entered the inner house, he heard about the British prince.
His expression changed several times and he went straight to the master's study.
In the study room, Gu Yanqi was frowning and looking at his eldest grandson with a stern expression. When his son came, there was no smile on his face.
Gu Yanqi knew that his old father was here for the day's affairs, so he hurriedly said: "Zixuan, did Prince Yin leave any words?"
Young Master Gao said with an aggrieved face: "Back to my second uncle, he didn't leave anything behind. He only said that he and the Qian family were old acquaintances. Hearing that his second uncle was coming to Beijing, he came here specifically to see Sixth Sister."
Although Young Master Gao is a scholar, he also knows how to speak tactfully.
After hearing this, Mr. Gu felt as if his mind was in a trance. His chest felt like it had been crushed by something, and the pain was as painful as cracking.
He forced a smile and said: "Father, there is no need to make a fuss. This matter is not what we thought."
"I hope so!"
Gu Yanqi was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. He took a deep look at his son and said, "Grandson, go back to your room and study. Spring is here, and you must show your dignity."
"Yes, grandfather!" Young Master Gao saluted respectfully.
The father and son were left in the study, and it became quiet for a while.
Gu Yanqi's face softened a little, and he coughed and said, "The Qian family...had relations with the British government in the past?"
Second Master Gu's face changed color, he thought for a moment and said, "I heard her say that they seem to have some friendship."
"What friendship?"
Second Master Gu said cryptically: "My son didn't ask deeply."
Gu Yanqi snorted coldly and said, "Be more careful in the future to avoid getting into trouble."
"Yes, father."
Gu Yanqi seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Ms. Zhang is pregnant, and she must ensure that the child is born no matter what. If you are a brother, you will have a wife in this house."
The last sentence made Mr. Gu feel a little sad. He was over thirty, but he still had no children. He couldn't raise his head even if he said this.
"Father, don't worry, your son will be careful."
"That one knocks, don't go too far."
Men are more or less aware of the methods of women in the house. If you don't say it openly, it is to give face to the main wife.
"The son has been given birth to. She is also looking forward to Mrs. Zhang having a son."
With a simple sentence, Gu Yanqi quickly understood. He sighed and said, "It's good that she can think so. In the future, your son will still have to rely on his aunt."
Second Master Gu realized the deep meaning in his words, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he said, "My son understands."
The high-ranking family couldn't keep things a secret, and for some reason, the news that the British prince entered the Gu Mansion and admired flowers with the ladies spread outside.
Others just smiled when they heard it. The young master from an aristocratic family is a romantic person, and the young lady from a high family is more delicate than a flower. This is such an eye-catching picture.
Only one person, after hearing the news, was so angry that he smashed an inkstone in his hand.
The Duan Inkstone exploded under someone's feet, and someone quickly jumped away and said angrily: "Sir, how about I help you give Prince Yin a meal to get rid of the bad breath in your heart?"
Zhao Jingyan sneered, "If you have the ability, cut off his little brother for me, chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs, so that I can get rid of this bad temper."
"This..." A Li hesitated as to whether it was a bit too harsh.
There is only such an only son in the British government. If his little brother is disabled, then the family will be deprived of descendants.
"If you are not a poisonous person, you are not a husband. If you are petty, you are not a gentleman. Either you don't do it, or you do it absolutely. Fighting and killing are nothing."
Zhao Jingyan waved the account book in her hand and said, "I'm busy right now, so I don't have time to play with that kid. I'll settle the accounts with him after I finish my business at the bank."
A Li patted his forehead and decided to share his master's worries, "Sir, the palace rewarded me with a basket of peaches yesterday. I decided to keep it without permission. Do you want to give it to Miss Six?"
Zhao Jingyan pointed at A Li with her finger and said with appreciation: "Finally, I did something that suits my heart. Go ahead and say it was rewarded by your ancestors."
A Li looked happy and said, "Master, the little one will go right away."
"return!"
"Do you have any other instructions?"
"You can't go there rashly like this. Just tell me that I have been too busy to sleep or eat recently, and ask her to help write a prescription."
Is this excuse a bit weak? A Li frowned and walked out of the study.
"return!"
A Li quickly retracted one foot.
Zhao Jingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Spread the news that the British prince intends to marry the daughter of Princess Huayang."
"Ah..." Ah Li's heart skipped a beat, this move was too cruel.
"Ah for what?"
Zhao Jingyan sighed softly and said: "I always have to add some trouble to that kid, and I feel happy. You can get out this time."
When Nanny Tan came to invite someone, Qingguan had just woken up from her nap.
She followed Nanny Tan into the Shou'an Hall and saw the princess and others pointing at a frame of peaches.
At this time, peaches were a rarity and could not be eaten by anyone but the princes and grandsons. Rich people could not taste their taste no matter how rich they were.
Qingguan remembers that in later generations, it had a nice name called Cherry.
When the princess saw Qing Guan come in, she smiled softly and said, "Daughter, come and have a look. This is a gift from our ancestors. It's a rare thing."
Wu Yanling stepped forward holding the handkerchief, took Qing Guan's hand and said, "Sixth sister, our ancestors really love you. I feel a little disgusted when I look at you, sister."
Wu Yanling's hands were a little cold, with a hint of chill. Qing Guan couldn't help but shrink back and said with a smile: "I will share them with my sister, so she won't taste them."
When Ah Li heard that Miss Six was going to divide this thing, he frowned, moved his body, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Miss Six, I thought you were a sensible person, so I encouraged the prince to send you the things. It turns out that you are also confused.
This thing, only my father has the ability to share a basket. If someone else can share a plate, it depends on the emperor's mood.
Only then did Qingguan see that there were outsiders in the hall. Seeing that it was A Li next to Zhao Jingyan, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and she immediately understood that this thing was not the handiwork of the ancestors.
When Ah Li saw Miss Six looking towards him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Six, how are you?"
In front of everyone, Qing Guan didn't dare to hold it big, so she bent her knees to thank him. She took the opportunity to break away from Wu Yanling's hand and thanked A Li.
Ah Li felt guilty, but in front of outsiders, he had no choice but to accept it forcefully.
Wei, who was sitting upright, nodded slightly when he saw it.
After Liu Yatou has been out and about these few times, her words and deeds are more polite than before. If she is trained well in the future, she might be able to marry a high-ranking family.
"Chunni, divide this basket of peaches. Don't let anyone take it down. Everyone has a taste."
"Yes, miss." Hua Yang felt happy when she saw that the Jiang family was so interested in the madman, and she glanced at her daughter.
