HCB Chapter 746: The Snatch Was Not Pleasant
Chapter 746: The Snatch Was Not Pleasant
Princess Mingyue was almost angry and humiliated by Lu Zhaozhao's calmness.
She stared at Lu Zhaozhao, hoping to find a crack in Lu Zhaozhao's expression, to prove that Lu Zhaozhao was just pretending to be calm, and in fact her heart had already been irritated to the point of heartbreak.
Gu Taohua adjusted her attitude and said with a smile: "Since the princess likes my third brother so much, you have to show your sincerity, right?"
Princess Mingyue was confused by Gu Taohua's attitude and couldn't help asking, "What sincerity?"
Gu Taohua said, "Of course it's a show of sincerity to make my third sister-in-law let go. My third brother is a top scholar and so handsome, he must be worth at least 200,000 taels. Third sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
Lu Zhaozhao said with a smile: "That's right, if you give me two hundred thousand taels, I will ask to leave."
Princess Mingyue widened her eyes.
"Money is more important to you than Gu Jingzhe?"
Lu Zhaozhao said indifferently: "Of course!"
Princess Mingyue: "The daughter of a merchant is indeed full of the smell of money."
Lu Zhaozhao said: "Since you don't care about money, then give me two hundred thousand taels. I will give you Gu Jingzhe after I take the silver."
"you......"
Princess Mingyue gritted her teeth.
Even though she is a princess, let alone asking her to pay 200,000 taels, she can't even pay 20,000 taels for the time being.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver would empty the national treasury.
"I thought your feelings for Gu Jingzhe were very deep, but it turns out you are just this deep."
Princess Mingyue was so angry that she left.
Lu Zhaozhao and Gu Taohua smiled at each other.
Asking for money will break the defense.
However, what Lu Zhaozhao did not expect was that this incident not only broke Princess Mingyue's defense, but also broke Gu Jingzhe's defense.
Princess Mingyue was so angry that she ran to the Imperial College to find Gu Jingzhe and told him that Lu Zhaozhao was willing to give Gu Jingzhe up for two hundred thousand taels of silver.
"You didn't expect that in your original wife's heart, you are not worth more than 200,000 taels of silver." Princess Mingyue said jokingly.
When Gu Jingzhe saw Princess Mingyue coming again, he said that Princess Mingyue did not understand what true love was and advised her to set her sights on the unmarried young talent in Shengjing. Princess Mingyue angrily sarcastically said that Gu Jingzhe was not worth 200,000 taels of silver in Lu Zhaozhao's heart.
Gu Jingzhe suppressed his anger and smiled at Princess Mingyue, "So Princess Mingyue is willing to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Gu Jingzhe’s reaction silenced Princess Mingyue.
This couple is not normal. If you don’t know, you would think they worked together to design her silver.
"Is the two hundred thousand taels of silver the point? The point is that your ex-wife doesn't care about you at all. In her heart, you are not as important as silver."
Princess Mingyue is trying to sow discord.
Gu Jingzhe spread his hands and said, "So what? I can only say that what I did was not as good as the money to impress her."
Princess Mingyue was so angry at Gu Jingzhe's reaction that she went crazy, and thought that Gu Jingzhe's brain was damaged by reading too much.
Gu Jingzhe was stimulated by the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Now he has no fame and no status. To Lu Zhaozhao, he is not as good as 200,000 taels of silver.
How to make Lu Zhaozhao feel that his potential is greater than 200,000 taels of silver is a question worth discussing.
Therefore, in order to prove that he is more important than 200,000 taels of silver, Gu Jingzhe treats Lu Zhaozhao more attentively than before.
After Lu Zhaozhao returned home from the shop, she felt that her loyal husband had become even more loyal.
Lu Zhaozhao felt a little guilty when thinking about what happened today.
Princess Mingyue returned to her mansion and was so angry that she smashed things all over the floor.
She felt that she had been fooled by Lu Zhaozhao and Gu Jingzhe.
She wanted to see Lu Zhaozhao have a miscarriage in anger, and wanted to see Gu Jingzhe's rage.
She saw neither reaction.
Was it because she didn't stimulate them enough, or were they two people convinced that their friendship was stronger than gold?
If Lu Zhaozhao is determined to get Gu Jingzhe, she will hold on to him tightly and never let go.
Now it is obvious that Lu Zhaozhao doesn't care that much about Gu Jingzhe, at least not as much as Princess Mingyue imagined. This makes Princess Mingyue feel that the process of competing for Gu Jingzhe is a bit boring.
But when she thought of Gu Jingzhe's face, she really didn't want to let go.
Princess Mingyue felt like she was stuck in a dilemma as to whether to continue holding on to Gu Jingzhe or let go.
I was unwilling to accept it, but I also felt that the snatch was not satisfying.
......
This was Tong Huaqiong's first time attending a palace banquet.
In order to show the importance of the Crown Prince, this welcome banquet was held with great fanfare.
Almost all the ministers, ladies of honor and their families in the court were present.
The palace banquet lasted from dusk to night.
The old emperor sat at the top, talking and laughing, but Tong Huaqiong always felt that he was forcing himself.
Zhao Yi sat obediently beside the old emperor, and several of his uncles sat below him, everyone with a loving expression on their face.
Amid the welcoming music played by stringed instruments and pipes, the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court could not be clearly seen under the light.
Tong Huaqiong and Old Lady Min sat together.
The news of her conflict with Prince Yu's Mansion spread throughout Shengjing, and everyone was curious about her.
As soon as Tong Huaqiong took her seat, she noticed countless eyes directed at her, some admiring, some scrutinizing, and of course some hostile.
"That's Princess Yu." Old Mrs. Min nodded at the noble lady not far away.
Tong Huaqiong looked towards Princess Yu.
Princess Yu was estimated to be in her forties, and was in excellent condition. She looked extremely noble in her dark purple dress.
Princess Yu noticed that Tong Huaqiong was looking at her, so she turned her head and looked at Tong Huaqiong with a look of condescending disdain.
This look flashed in Tong Huaqiong's memory of Tong Dajiao.
In her previous life, Princess Yu had to endure Tong Da Jiao's vulgarity, and at the same time, she became Tong Da Jiao's relative for the sake of Gu Jingzhe, a potential stock.
It’s not hard work.
As soon as Tong Huaqiong appeared in this life, she made enemies with Prince Yu's Mansion. If Princess Yu knew that her daughter had intentions towards Gu Jingzhe, she would definitely intervene.
Tong Huaqiong planned to tell Princess Yu about Zhao Xiyue's pursuit and interception of Gu Jingzhe, so that it would be best for her to find a marriage for Zhao Xiyue as soon as possible.
“Grandma, the mighty general always looks at you.”
Maner pulled Tong Huaqiong's sleeve and quietly pointed to the seat below the emperor.
The emperor ordered the mighty general to teach the crown prince martial arts personally, so Man'er, who had lived with the crown prince in the palace these days, recognized the mighty general.
The mighty general can speak the hometown dialect and he doesn't have any airs of a general towards children like Maner. Maner likes the mighty general very much.
She tilted her head and smiled at the mighty general.
When the mighty general saw Maner smiling at him, he smiled too.
Tong Huaqiong raised her head and unexpectedly saw the mighty general grinning with his teeth bared.
Meeting Tong Huaqiong's gaze, the mighty general's smile froze, and he quickly glanced away as if he was scalded, his heart pounding.
Tong Huaqiong: “…”
This mighty general is an old vegetable, and he looks quite innocent.
Before Tong Huaqiong had time to look away, the mighty general raised his eyes and their eyes met again.
This time neither of them hid.
The mighty general only felt his ears a little hot. Fortunately, his face was a little black due to the ravages on the border, otherwise his face would have been covered with red clouds.
Childhood sweethearts are very destructive.
