Rebirth: Houmen's Wife

Chapter 158: Suspicion ①

With the disappearance of the sound of silk and bamboo, the dancers also retreated one after another. The drunken people who were still in the hustle and bustle instantly became quiet because of the third prince's words.None of them dared to speak loudly, for fear of offending someone else, after all, the Marquis is not easy to mess with, and the prince is not easy to mess with either.

The old emperor's eyes, which seemed to be falling asleep, just lifted up, and his eyes lingered back and forth on the third prince and Gu Lecheng, as if he was thinking and didn't seem to understand the situation at this time at all.

In the embarrassing silence in the main hall, Gu Lezhen, who had been looking at the third prince with a smile all the time, was smiling, and said in a calm tone, "Does the third prince think that the Marquis just retired? Those jugglers?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Lezhen was so straightforward, the third prince didn't know how to step down for a while, and said to Gu Lezhen without confidence: "Master Hou...Your words are misunderstood. Well, this prince actually... just wants to watch Lord Hou perform a sword dance for us all to enjoy, there is no other meaning."

As he said that, he involuntarily looked in Baili Moyuan's direction.

However, Baili Moyuan didn't look at the third prince, but just lowered his head as if he was talking to his sister, Princess Baihua, who was beside him, completely oblivious to the third prince's eyes asking for help.

Facing Gu Lezhen's rare indifferent expression, Baili Moyuan didn't look at him, the third prince couldn't help feeling flustered, and suddenly felt that Gu Lezhen's previous image of a smiling tiger was actually better than the cold, emotionless one now. The face looks much better.

"Oh~~~~ So the third prince just wanted to see it? But..." The deliberately prolonged ending made everyone present stretch their ears involuntarily.

Looking at the crowd, Gu Lezhen continued: "However, Lord Ben feels that he has no obligation to fulfill the third prince's wish! Unless...unless the emperor personally orders, then Lezheng Just reluctantly perform for the honorable Third Prince?"

The peach blossom eyes were raised slightly, and the smile returned to the face, but no matter how people looked at it, they would think it was a cold smile.

The old emperor followed Gu Lezhen's eyes to greet him, just when all the ministers thought that the old emperor would definitely ask this humble Gu Hou Ye to pay the price, but what he waited for was a very tiring sentence... ····

"Well... I'm tired, dear friends, please feel free to go and rest." The old emperor said, and stood up with the support of the eunuch Liu Gonggong.

"Father..." The third prince called out in a panic.

"San'er still has something to do? Want to see Master Hou's performance? Then rely on your own ability!"

It goes without saying that the old emperor's attitude is self-evident. This is obviously in favor of Gu Lezhen. Although this Gu Lezhen is a hereditary lord and a general with a heavy army in his hands, the third prince is also a son of a dragon. , although this official position is not comparable, but is this status not comparable? ,

A new official couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help but braved the cold and suffocating atmosphere, and secretly asked his immediate superior, the father who brought him here, and asked in a low voice: "Father... Father, isn't this prince more powerful than Lord Hou? Why does it seem that the third prince is still afraid of Lord Gu?"

Looking around him secretly, he found that no one noticed that he was here. Wang Dong couldn't help but hate iron and steel, and said to his useless and stupid son: "Where have you read all your books? Now You can't just rely on the status of a Hou Ye to compare with others. In the early years, the emperor gave Hou Ye a portable jade card. On the jade card, there were four characters "Ruzhen in person." He was taken to the royal family, if it wasn't for Lord Hou insisting not to use the royal surname, this Lord Hou would not have the surname Gu now..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound coming from the front.The eyes of Wang Dong and his son couldn't help being attracted.

I saw a pool of broken pieces in front of the small table in front of Gu Lezhen, which was obviously broken by Gu Lezhen on purpose.

Gu Lezhen seemed to be in a good mood and blew on his fingers without raising his eyes, as if he didn't pay attention to the people present at all, and said with a smile in his tone: "Ah, it's time to hurry For a few days, Lord Ben Hou was actually very tired. Look at the third prince. It seems that Lord Ben Hou couldn’t hold the glass for your toast. It seems that Lord Ben Hou has to go back to rest, everyone. Enjoy it slowly."

As he said that, he didn't even look at the wine glass that the third prince held high in front of him, stood up as if he was extremely tired, and just walked out of the hall shaking like that.

Li Li followed closely behind.

Looking at the back of Gu Lezhen who had already left, the third prince's hand holding the wine glass was bulging, damn it, damn it.

He raised his hand and was about to throw the wine glass out, but Baili Moyuan who did not know when he came behind him pulled the corner of his clothes and shook his head slightly.

"Third prince, Mo Yuan respects you, why bother to get angry with Gu Houye, this unruly prince doesn't know? Let's continue not to get drunk."

The last sentence, Baili Moyuan said to all the ministers.

In fact, among these ministers in the imperial court, who doesn't like to drink, have fun and watch beautiful women?It's just that there was a sage who couldn't let go just now, and this sage left, but he didn't dare to reveal his true nature in front of Gu Houye who was obviously angry. At this time, both of them had already left.And the king of Moyuan County also said that he would not return drunk, and everyone must have responded positively.

After a while, the dancers who were asked to retreat appeared in the hall again in revealing dance clothes.

Wait until everyone relaxes, drinks, looks at beauties, and chats.

Only now did Baili Moyuan sit down beside the third prince in a fair and honest manner.

"Third prince, you have to calm down, you shouldn't provoke Gu Lezhen tonight." Baili Moyuan calmly seemed to be analyzing the whole story.

He patted Xiaoji fiercely, and the third prince had an obvious look of anger, "This prince also knows, but, but this prince just can't understand father's way of being different from Gu Lezhen, he Gu Lezhen What is it? Why does he enjoy the same treatment as our father's children? Why does he have the jade butterfly that only our princes and princesses have?"

Facing the anger of the third prince, Baili Moyuan just frowned, calmly as if they were talking about different things.

"So, what do you hate, prince, is that Gu Lezhen has the jade butterfly that symbolizes the status of the royal family?" Luo Fei's voice came faintly.

The third prince couldn't help being startled, and looked at Luo Fei approaching with a wary face.

"Third prince, please follow Mo Yuan to Mo Yuan's side hall. Mo Yuan has something to report to the third prince." Baili Mo Yuan looked at Luo Fei who was coming, and Dongyang Zhoufan behind him. Said.

At this time, everyone's attention was no longer on the furious third prince, and some cunning ministers deliberately did not look at the third prince's side. After all, Gu Houye didn't give the third prince any face at all. They don't dare to be like Gu Lezhen, not giving face to the third prince, for fear that because they cast their gazes towards the third prince, the third prince will think that they are mocking or watching a joke.

Therefore, when the ministers deliberately ignored the third prince, the third prince followed Baili Moyuan and walked out of the hall easily avoiding everyone's eyes.

Princess Baihua has been sipping the sake in front of her, watching Baili Moyuan lead the third prince, Luo Fei and others away with a pensive expression, she is not without emotion.

My younger brother, Ah Yuan is no longer dependent on him, so he should discuss something at this time, didn't he always call himself on such occasions before?

Princess Baihua, who was left behind by Baili Moyuan, smiled self-deprecatingly.

Through the wide-open door of the main hall, looking at the bright moon in the sky, Princess Baihua couldn't help feeling complicated.Time is running out. It seems that the fish that has been compiled for a long time is finally about to be collected. However, I don’t know how the big fish caught in it will think of me?Especially Baili Moyuan as his younger brother?

It's fun to think about it!

After drinking the last sip of sake, Princess Baihua waved her hand to stop the maid who came to refill the wine, the corners of her mouth raised, showing a smile that she didn't know whether it was joy or self-deprecating.

Gu Lezhen came out of the main hall, and stood beside the rockery not far outside the main hall, watching every move in the main hall with serious eyes.There was no movement for a long time.

"Master Hou? Won't you go back to rest?" Li Li, who was behind him, asked cautiously.

"No, don't go back, wait for someone!"

Don't move in your heart, could it be...

At this moment, Gu Lezhen showed a different excited smile than usual, as if he was talking to himself, or to Li Li beside him, "This is finally here."

Following Gu Lezhen's gaze, Mo Li saw the third prince, Luo Fei, Baili Moyuan and others coming out of the hall, and couldn't help turning around in surprise, "Master Hou is waiting for the third prince?"

However, how did Lord Hou know that they would definitely come out?Stand here and wait as soon as you come out of the hall?However, Li Li did not ask this sentence.

"Yeah, Master Ben has been waiting for a long time, and I don't want to wait any longer." It seemed that there was a deep meaning in the sentence, before Li Li could understand the deep meaning, he heard Gu Lecheng continue to say: "Li Li, follow them and see what they are plotting. Let us make preparations earlier."

"Yes." The complexity flashed across Li Li's eyes, and he quickly followed the footsteps of the third prince and his group.

Gu Lezhen, who stayed alone, showed an extremely light smile. He was waiting for them, but he was not waiting for them.

It seems that now that I have thrown off the eyeliner around me for a while, it is time for me to meet that woman alone.
