The farmer has a mall

Chapter 315

"Aijia heard that the empress punished Peier, who was given to you by Aijia, to learn the rules, and then gave you the most convenient personal maid she used. Is this true?"

Empress Dowager Shen picked up the teacup and skimmed off the froth on it, bowed her head and took a sip with an unclear expression.

Concubine Rou tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and nodded slowly: "That's true, the concubine also tried to keep Pei'er, but she couldn't match the empress's strength."

Empress Dowager Shen put down the teacup and said, "It's just a girl who serves others, why should you bother so much?"

There was no emotion in her voice, her eyelids were lowered, and she showed no special expression.

"Then that ink chess..." Concubine Rou tentatively asked her opinion.

I don't know if I discovered something, but the empress obviously put the ink chess next to her on purpose, otherwise, how could the empress, who has always been tolerant of her, suddenly attack Pei'er.

Although Pei'er's words were indeed a little offensive, this kind of thing happened not once or twice. It was fine before, but this time she was punished.

"Since the empress kindly gave her to you, just keep her. The Ai family will arrange another person to send her to you."

After finishing speaking, she took a mahogany box from the nurse behind her and handed it to Concubine Rou.

"The Ai family specially selected a roster in the dowry, which records many rare flowers and some planting techniques. If you give it to Concubine Cui, it will be regarded as an apology."

Concubine Rou was startled, although she didn't understand what she meant, she still took it obediently.

"Cui Yanping is my son's important bargaining chip. You and Concubine Cui must establish a good relationship and let her help lobby her brother."

Empress Dowager Shen was very satisfied with her obedience, so she explained a little more rarely.

Concubine Rou understands it, but she is still in a dilemma: "Concubine Cui has always disliked concubines, every time we meet, she always speaks ill at each other, concubine really has no confidence to befriend her."

"It depends on man's efforts. Aijia believes that you can do it with your intelligence." Empress Dowager Shen encouraged.

"If you can win the Cui family over, you will be a great hero. My son will definitely not treat you badly when things are done."

Concubine Rou pursed her lips while holding the box, and answered in a low voice.

After she left, Empress Dowager Shen returned to the Buddhist hall again, where the young man who had talked to her last time was waiting there.

Through the gap in the window, he frowned and looked at Concubine Rou's receding figure.

"Does the queen mother trust her too much?"

This woman suddenly appeared next to His Highness, said many inexplicable things, and kept saying that she could help His Highness fulfill his wish, and then entered the palace.

He always felt that this person was unreliable, but His Royal Highness and the Empress Dowager trusted her.

"It's just a pawn. Whether you can believe it or not depends on how Aijia wants her to go. Don't care about it," said the Queen Mother indifferently.

"What's going on with Prince Jing?" she asked.

"But can we reach the capital tomorrow?"

The young man nodded, "Prince Jing has sent a letter saying that we will be able to arrive in the capital at noon tomorrow. The subordinate has sent someone to reply to the letter. The Northwest Army will set up camp ten miles outside the city."

Empress Dowager Shen nodded in satisfaction, twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and said quietly: "Then just wait for the envoys from Daliang to enter the capital."

……

Three hundred miles away from the capital, it was rare for Gu Nanyan to not sit in the carriage and ride side by side with Li Yi.

The Zhenbei Army led by Gu Yao led the way ahead, followed by the baggage truck, and the kamikaze team stood guard at the end.

But today, behind the kamikaze team, there is still a group of people, that is, Prince Liang and his party who also went to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

Originally, they were one south and one north, and they shouldn't have met each other, but Prince Liang ordered someone to take a detour to meet them before Gu Nanyan entered the capital.

Hearing the sound of a horse's hoof approaching behind him, Li Yi's face turned dark.

"After driving all night, Gu is going to stop the team to rest for a while. Princess, do you want to come down and rest?"

A deep male voice came from behind, with a hearty laugh.

Li Yi quickly turned the horse's head, quickly dodged to the other side of Gu Nanyan, and successfully blocked the Prince of Liang who wanted to walk side by side with her.

Crown Prince Huangfu Hao: "..."

"The prince and I are not on the same road. You just need to rest and stop, but the king and the princess have to hurry." Li Yi said coldly, his face tensed.

Sensing his smell of gunpowder, Gu Nanyan glanced at him inexplicably, but didn't say anything, and ignored Huangfu Hao and continued riding forward.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Li Yi relaxed, controlled the horse's position, and blocked Huangfu Hao who had "bad intentions" even more tightly.

Huangfu Hao squinted his eyes, his face was very ugly.

Before leaving, his father specially asked him to marry Gu Nanyan back to the country.

Gu Nanyan is the princess of two great powers, marrying her can stabilize her position, and the kamikaze army in her hand is also a great help.

Not to mention that she also has the blueprint for building the city defense gun.

If she became his own crown princess, these things would be of great help to him, and his brothers would no longer have the chance to compete with him for the throne.

It's just that the premise of all this is that he can marry Gu Nanyan!
He gritted his teeth and stared at Li Yi who had been blocking him from getting in touch with Gu Nanyan, wishing he could kick him away.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Huangfu Hao turned his head to look at his fifth younger brother Huangfu Yi who was looking around curiously in his own team, his eyes became even colder.

The emperor asked the fifth younger brother to follow him, naturally because he was afraid that Gu Nanyan would look down on him and miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he let him follow as a substitute.

Although he didn't feel that this fool had the power to compete, but his father's actions made him very ashamed.

The idea of ​​marrying Gu Nanyan became more determined in his heart.

He adjusted his mentality, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "King Cheng's words are really outrageous. It is rare for you and me to meet and walk together by fate, and it is also necessary to take care of each other."

After all, he didn't wait for Li Yi to speak, turned his head to Gu Nanyan and said: "Besides, our prime minister has prepared drinks, and asked someone to take out a jar of drunk crabs, which is a special product of our Daliang, and specially asked Gu Lai to invite the princess to taste it .”

Gu Nanyan's eyes lit up when he heard that there was something to eat, and it was the drunken crab that she liked very much in her previous life, but she had never eaten it here.

Seeing this, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat and he thought it was bad, before he could stop her, he saw her turn around and go back while swinging the rein.

Li Yi: "..."

Seeing his dark and handsome face, Huangfu Hao's mood improved a lot in an instant, and he nodded at him proudly, not inviting him to go with him, so he chased after Gu Nanyan.

Li Yi, who was left in the same place, was so angry that he immediately sent a message to Gu Yao to rest in the same place, and he did not go to Gu Nanyan after that. He just sulked there alone, and looked carefully, and there was a trace of grievance on his face.

However, before he had been wronged for a long time, he heard a sound of horseshoes.

Gu Nanyan held the rein of the horse in one hand, and stopped in front of him holding a jar as high as his forearm in the other, looking down at him.

Li Yi was stunned for a while, before he understood what happened, he saw her get off the horse and carefully stuff the jar in his hand into his arms.

Then got on the horse and ran again...

Li Yi:? ? ?

He lowered his head inexplicably, and opened the jar in his arms, a strong aroma of wine mixed with the freshness of seafood tangled his nostrils.

Is it embarrassing to eat alone, and specially gave him a jar?
Li Yi pursed his thin red lips, trying hard to suppress the smile on his lips.

He reached out, took out a piece and tasted it.

Li Yi, who has always disliked the fishy smell of seafood, somehow managed to find a touch of sweetness from this drunk crab.

He was serious on the face, but beautiful in his heart. He was about to take the second piece happily, but suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Nanyan staring at him with a small dark face.

"Do you dare to steal it?"

She was holding a wine jar in one hand, and a cloth bag in the other, followed by a horse that was chasing after her but failed to catch up.

Ma: I lost...
