"Wait a minute, listening to what you said, why does it seem like Lychee was forced? She is obviously very happy and worried about gains and losses, but you are here to complain for her?"

Xinghua covered her face and smiled: "Oh, it's all my fault, auntie. As soon as you said this, I thought of myself as a lychee."

After saying that, he lay on Xin Nian's knees and said softly: "Auntie, I don't envy Lychee at all, let alone feel jealous. I don't want to leave Auntie. Chunyu and I are by your side, and we will serve you even when we are old, just like an old lady.

Grandma Sun next to the concubine is the same as Grandma Chen, please don’t match us up, okay?"

"Are you saying this from the bottom of your heart? It's time for men to get married and women to get married. Don't you want to have a family of your own?"

"Qingliangyuan is our home." Xinghua straightened up and held up one hand: "Auntie, the sun is shining in the sky. If there is any word in my words that I don't mean, tell me..."

"Okay, I understand." Xin Nian hurriedly covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How big of a deal is it worth swearing by? You and Chun Yu really don't want to get married. I am happy to always have a right and left hand by my side. You are right.

, Qingliangyuan is your home, we mothers used to depend on each other in Qingliang Pavilion, and we will stay together in the future and never leave."

"yes."

Xinghua nodded, but neither she nor Xin Nian knew at this moment: things in the world often... do not allow people to fulfill their wishes.

*********************

"My servant has checked and found out that he is indeed a member of the Liao family. He is spreading rumors about the third girl around Sanyuan Alley. He also praises the ninth girl in their family for being so good. He also said that the fortune teller has said that if the ninth girl can be a good match,

The last number one scholar was simply the best match in the world, and it would be of great help to the number one scholar in his future career..."

On the way back to the palace from the palace gate, Brother Yun quietly reported the news he had found to Gu Changting. Before he could finish speaking, his master sneered and said: "What a lot of nonsense. I have only heard about whether the marriage is harmonious. Can you?"

It can be deduced from the horoscopes, but I have never heard of any girl looking at the identity of the girl she is marrying to infer whether she is a good match."

Brother Yun said with a smile: "So these words are just to scare those ignorant village women. Look at the old lady of the Jiang family and Mr. Jiang, no one believes them. They understand the truth after all."

Gu Changting said calmly: "What are you saying about the rumors spread about the third sister?"

Brother Yun had a look of embarrassment on his face and whispered: "Tell me, it's better for the prince not to listen. I won't taint your ears. Anyway, just think about the unbearable things. Fortunately, they are probably

I also know that things cannot be overdone, so this rumor is only around Sanshui Lane and has not spread, so not many people believe it."

Gu Changting narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "You are stupid, you dare to spread rumors about the third sister, how can you say that you are not going too far? Once rumors arise, can they control them? Just wait a moment

The Bingma Division selects a few skilled and reliable brothers. In the past few days, any idle guy or talkative woman who dares to spread gossip about the third sister in Sanyuan Alley will find a place where no one is around and slap them with a big mouth. In short, they will be punished adequately.

, tell them not to dare to talk nonsense again."

"yes."

Brother Yun agreed and heard his master say calmly: "Also, find out which member of the Liao family is spreading the rumor. Go there yourself and cut out his tongue and break his legs."

"Ah?" Brother Yun was shocked: "Your Majesty, that's your maternal grandfather's house. As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner..."

"When they spread rumors about my third sister, did they want to uphold the reputation of the palace? Did they ever think that I was their grandson? They didn't care about my face, so they spread rumors about my sister at will, and I still have to worry about their dogs? You do it

He made it clear when he was here that this time he was just beating a dog, and if he does it next time, don’t blame me for going directly to his master to settle the score.”

Brother Yun licked his lips and whispered: "But the prince's side..."

"Haha!" Gu Changting smiled coldly: "I just want to see if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to be indiscriminate with my cousin for the sake of a dog."

Brother Yun felt a little clear in his heart. He had a vague feeling in the past that the prince and the prince... seemed to be not so close anymore. Now the master's attitude is probably not just as simple as not being close.

"Yes, I understand."

Gu Changting was so angry that he couldn't get angry in front of the servant. After returning home, he went to the courtyard of Concubine Liao. When he walked to the purple bamboo forest outside the concubine's courtyard, he heard faint voices coming from the forest, the volume was very low.

, with his ears, he could only roughly hear the words "Aunt Xin, Aunt Qin", so without thinking, he entered the bamboo forest in a flash.

Even if Prince Duan's Qinggong skills were not able to make a mark on the snow, they were not far behind. How could the two ignorant women notice it? Because the bamboo forest was so dense, there was no one around, and their voices were low enough, so they could only talk happily.

"Testing melons? This idea is really despicable. If the three girls are really tested by the ladies to prove whether the melons are perfect, can they still survive? I'm not telling you that this trick of the concubine is too poisonous.

Killing people is heartbreaking."

"Why does the concubine care about the life and death of the two girls? She is a person who hates her to the core, but now she can watch the third girl marry the number one scholar? The third girl's life should not be cut off, because the prince is in the palace. Otherwise, the prince is in the palace.

Aunt Xin alone, even if she has 10,000 intentions to stop her, would she still dare to disobey the Imperial Concubine’s order in public?”

"Taiyin is too vicious, even... how should I put it? I don't really believe it anyway. The concubine is also worth a thousand pieces of gold. How could she come up with such an idea without accumulating yin virtues if she comes from a wealthy family?"

"Of course the idea was not the concubine's. As you said, the concubine was born into a wealthy family. How could she have thought of such scandalous things? I heard that it was Grandma Tian who gave me the idea. I saw Grandma Tian and Sister-in-law Qian before.

As we get closer, Sister-in-law Qian is the most useful person in front of the concubine."

"That's right, I said. When I saw Sister-in-law Tian, ​​she was so proud. She also said that the Dowager Empress had rewarded her with a pearl and asked her to give it to her daughter-in-law in the future. I'm not telling you that her son is also lame.

He's ugly and he hits people all the time. Who would a normal girl do to him?"

"You're still saying, just because of this, I don't know how much Granny Tian hates these young girls in the house. She doesn't dare to mess with the older girls around the concubine. Who among those little girls has not been angry with her? Even once, I saw

Aunt Qiu’s girl was even scolded and cried by her. It’s pitiful when you think about it, isn’t it because she refused to be her daughter-in-law? If I had a daughter, I wouldn’t give her a son. I wouldn’t be able to bear the anger and might be beaten to death someday.

Already."

"Alas! This time she made such a great contribution. Although she didn't succeed, the Dowager Empress not only rewarded her with the pearl, but also asked her to give it to her daughter-in-law in the future. She probably wanted to give her son a girl. I don't know which girl was so miserable.

What a beautiful flower to put on such a pile of cow shit."

Behind them were other chores in the mansion. Gu Changting quietly left the bamboo forest, took a deep breath, turned to look at Concubine Liao's courtyard, and then turned to Qingliang Courtyard.

Aunt Tian, ​​right? She has made such a "great contribution", and she still wants to let her son eat swan meat based on her contribution?
