Chapter 356 Watching the Peacock
Chapter 356 Watching the Peacock
Mrs. Gu also looked nervous. She had just heard that the beautiful girl in front of her was from the Northern Dynasty.
That was Nanxu's distinguished guest. How could Qinghuan accept his gifts?
She quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. It is a blessing for me that you like Qinghuan. How can I accept such a valuable thing from you?
Please take it back."
No one said anything, we just looked at each other, shook our heads and smiled.
I have already guessed that Yu'er will definitely not take it back. She is now a well-known wealthy woman, and the people in the mansion have also gained a lot of good things.
Of course, they did not take advantage of her and also gave her a lot of gold and silver jewelry in return, which made her very happy.
The relationship between people can only last long if there is give and take.
Zhen Yuer smiled helplessly, with a rather domineering attitude.
"No, no, there's no reason for me to take back what I gave away.
If my careless brothers and sisters at home knew about this, they would be laughed to death.
Madam Gu, don't worry. Yu'er has always wanted to have a lovely sister, and Qinghuan just happened to catch my eye."
What he said is implicit and implicit. It's impossible to take it back. Just give up on this idea.
I don't know who burst out laughing first, and then Mrs. Gu couldn't help laughing too.
"Okay, since it's from Miss Yu'er, Qinghuan should accept it. You should get along well with your sister in the future, okay?"
Gu Qinghuan nodded shyly, her fingers gently sliding across the bracelet, and her eyes narrowed into crescents as she smiled.
"Thank you, Sister Yu'er. Qinghuan will also give you something later. You are not allowed to refuse."
"Okay, okay, of course I have to keep it well if it's a gift from sister Qinghuan."
The Northern Dynasty Empress looked at her helplessly, smiled at Xia Yining, and was happy to let them play.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Gu asked to leave, and Gu Huacheng also came back from outside. Considering that there were so many women, Xi Zhiyi took him outside to have tea.
Xia Yining said: "Not only are all the inns outside full, but everywhere is in a mess.
I had someone clean up the yard a while ago. The house is simple, Madam Gu, please don't be disgusted."
"How can this be possible? It will be too much trouble for the princess."
"Mrs. Gu, there's no need to be so polite. We'll meet more often in the future, so just call me Ning'er.
It's not a big deal. I just happen to have some business to discuss with Master Gu, so it's more convenient to stay in the mansion."
"Well... well, I won't be polite to Ning'er."
Gu Huacheng felt cold in his heart at this moment. Just now when he was drinking tea, he found that Master Xi San was very familiar with the Zuo Xiang Mansion.
In addition, the other party mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that the two had known each other since childhood, and that the reason why Master Sanye disappeared for a few years was for the eldest princess.
Otherwise, there would be nothing for the Gu family to do.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Princess. If you need anything, you can always send someone to call me."
Xia Yining nodded, and asked someone to send the mother and her two children back.
As for dinner, the Northern Dynasty Empress took Zhen Yuer to the street, saying that they were going to have some snacks and asked everyone not to bother them.
In the guest house, someone had delivered it early.
The lights in the Xishu Inn were bright, and the atmosphere was particularly heavy. The Emperor of Xishu looked at the seven princes, each of whom had his own merits.
Everyone is born with good looks, simply because their mothers are all beauties.
Now it is of no use at all, and I feel more and more disgusted with my own son.
"What do you think we should do? News has just been sent back that the young master of the Gu family has moved into the Zuo Xiang Mansion.
The man was very handsome, with a kind of young scholar's air, fair and gentle.
After a long time, even if the eldest princess is a fairy, she will inevitably be tempted by worldly desires. "
The seven princes felt nervous when they heard this. They were also very helpless. They were the ones who wanted to get to know the eldest princess the most at this moment.
But he was directly rejected.
Even if they have excellent martial arts skills, they cannot sneak into the Left Prime Minister's residence under the cover of night.
Given how much importance Nan Xu attached to the eldest princess, he was likely to be shot by someone in the dark as soon as he reached the corner.
“Father, there should be a banquet in the palace soon, and since the three kingdoms are all here, the eldest princess will definitely attend.
I'm afraid I'll have to wait for news, and I just hope I can catch the eye of the princess."
After hearing their brother say this, the others looked at each other quietly, but they didn't think so in their hearts.
The man they met today had a very different aura, and always gave them a very dangerous feeling.
Although he was wearing half a mask, one could still tell that he was extremely handsome, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was unique and handsome.
With such a precious example in front of her, the eldest princess would know what to choose unless she was blind.
However, they can only think about this idea in their hearts and never speak it out loud, otherwise it will destroy their own prestige.
The Emperor of Western Shu was so angry when he heard this that he jumped up to his feet.
"That's it? I thought about it for a long time and came up with this method.
Humph~~~ You can't even grasp the opportunity given to you, no wonder you have no future."
After saying this, he angrily threw his sleeves and left. Then the seven princes also stood beside him and left.
I secretly complained in my heart: What else? Isn't this just giving away my life?
They are not fools, okay? Even if it were our father, he might not have a solution.
It's just that she feels unhappy and takes it out on these poor men.
Even though he thought so, three princes still left the inn one after another in a place where no one could see.
They thought that the Empress of the Northern Dynasty was there, and if the eldest princess accompanied them out for a trip, they might meet her.
This way you can show up earlier and have some advantages over other brothers.
Fortunately, they all had brains and they didn't wander around. Instead, they sent someone out to ask around first.
When they heard that the Northern Dynasty Empress and Miss Zhen were eating, their eyes lit up.
Without even listening to the rest of the conversation, he hurried to the snack street.
It was such a coincidence that the three princes, who were all as cunning as himself, met each other.
They were very wary of each other, but they had smiles on their faces, which were not obvious. They joked and tested each other.
[Are you out here to eat? Is the food at the inn not tasty? ]
[Yes, I heard that Nanxu Night Market is very lively at night, so I came out for a walk. ]
[I didn't expect you two would dress up so carefully? Are you going to meet your loved ones? ]
The other two were cursing in their hearts and didn't want to waste any more time, so they continued walking into the night market.
The three of them were huddled together and naturally didn't want to give way. They bumped into each other while walking and squeezed the people around them.
It looked very childish and attracted many passers-by to watch.
Zhen Yuer had just taken a bite of the sweet pastry when she looked up and saw three show-offs, still fanning themselves in the cold weather.
I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
He lowered his voice and said: “Empress, look at those three peacocks, aren’t they so good at pretending!!
I’m really not afraid of catching a cold.”
