I'm not good at this green tea princess

Chapter 237 Deadline

The 1000 taels of gold prepared by the Huns were all broken gold, some with one tael, some with two or three taels, and even some money.

Just packed in a wooden box.

Obviously expressing dissatisfaction on purpose.

Mrs. Hou is also a ruthless person, she actually asked Mr. Accountant to give her a nickname, and she had to pay it face to face, and calculate every sum.

The Huns wanted to take advantage of this to make fun of the Chu people for wanting all kinds of rags and ugly food, but they didn't expect to be so smartly paid by Mrs. Hou, it seemed that they were stingy and lost their sense of proportion.

What's more, Madam Hou's inner and outer meaning, fearing that the Huns would be short of money, made Su He, He Lianshu's confidant who came to give the gold, very angry.

It wasn't until Meng Ci came out that Su He's face looked better.

Holding a sandalwood box in his arms, he walked up to Meng Ci, opened it in front of a group of spectators, and said with a smile: "Master Meng is a talented person, this is a gift from our fifth prince to Prince Meng!"

Inside the sandalwood box was a fiery red dance dress as thin as a cicada's wings.

The most popular fabrics in Kyoto this summer are used, and the styles are also the latest styles.

Obviously, He Lianshu purchased it today.

When Mrs. Hou saw the clothes, her complexion changed drastically, and she said angrily: "What do you five princes mean, to give Ci'er a dress? Are you insulting me that there is no one in the Hou Mansion by repeatedly offending me?"

Meng Ci's fist was also clenched secretly.

Su He put one hand on his chest, but now he lowered his posture, and said with a pleasant face: "The fifth prince is a person who loves beauty. I heard that Prince Meng once dressed himself as a man and a woman to clear himself of suspicion in front of His Majesty. I admire and admire you, and I gave this dress in the hope that I will have the opportunity to see the charm of Meng Shi's children's costumes at the state banquet in Japan!"

Mrs. Hou's face turned cold: "Stop talking to me about these vain things! The prince of the Hou family, Aci, why should you make women's clothes for your prince? Don't think that being a prince is a big deal. You know, a defeated general Not enough courage!"

Mrs. Hou was born in a family of military generals, married to the Marquis of Yongchang, when she raised her eyebrows solemnly, she had an awe-inspiring and inviolable demeanor.

Su He's face was filled with anger, but he suppressed it in the end, and bowed to the two of them: "Your Majesty is only following His Highness's arrangement, and please forgive me, the things have been delivered, so I will go back first! "

Madam Hou shook her handkerchief: "Go quickly, the Hou Mansion has no tea for you!"

Su He's brows and eyes twitched fiercely, and he left with a group of followers.

Before leaving, he gave Meng Ci a deep look, the deep meaning need not be said, Meng Ci will naturally understand.

When he walked away, Mrs. Hou ordered someone to close the side door, pulled Meng Ci aside, and asked anxiously: "What's going on, I looked at the fifth prince before, and he still looks like he is now. Do you know you are a woman?"

"It's nothing. I haven't dealt with him before! Mother, don't worry, just do what you want. Don't show the first and last, but let people catch you!"

Madam Hou let out a long breath and nodded: "That's good, don't worry about it, if I'm so restless, I won't be able to hide it for 18 years!"

"If I had known this, I would have left your cousin behind and waited a few years before thinking that the adopted daughter was...just..."

Good luck tricks people.

The mother-in-law's sister-in-law has been in poor health since she gave birth to her little nephew. Although she took good care of her little nephew in the Hou's mansion, it is cruel to separate mother and child.

And Mrs. Hou also missed her daughter, and thought that she would have another child soon, so she changed the two children.

Who would have thought that after this change, it would be like today.

"Mother doesn't need to talk about this. You can rest assured that there are still 900 taels of gold to be sent to the palace. You should deal with it quickly!"

Madam Hou shook the veil, rolled her eyes: "Just use these scraps of money to send that wretched old man away!"

Got it!
Your Majesty Tangtang turned into a bad old man in her mouth.

"Mother, don't be willful..."

Mrs. Hou snorted bitterly: "That's all I said, do I still dare to lose my temper with His Majesty? I can bear it even if he robs my man, and I will even care about such a trivial matter. I turned around and walked out of the warehouse. Take some gold ingots and let your father send them to the palace!"

"Your Majesty has wronged our Hou Mansion by making your father strip off his clothes in public, and don't let your father cry a few words in front of him, so as to ask for some benefits for our Hou Mansion!"

Meng Ci...

Mother, while you hate your father for flirting with His Majesty, you are not clear about it, and at the same time you push your father towards His Majesty!
You are so contradictory!

But she is not in the mood to joke with Mrs. Hou now.

Xiaocha followed behind her, holding the sandalwood box in her hand, and when no one was around, she asked in a low voice: "Master, is He Lianshu urging you to do it as soon as possible?"

you do not say.

Laba has passed, presumably the specific matters of the peace talks will have been agreed before the New Year's Eve.

Because it was decided in the palace that a state banquet would be held on the eve of the New Year's Eve to entertain the envoys of the Huns. Before that, all the terms would definitely be negotiated.

He Lianshu's dress reminded Meng Ci: the day of the state banquet was the deadline he had given.

If Meng Ci didn't follow his request and took Shen Yi's life before that day, then Meng Ci's identity as a woman would not be able to hide it and be exposed to everyone on the day of the New Year's Eve.

Don't look at the current prosperity of the Hou Mansion, but since ancient times, the more favored you are, the more jealous you will be.

The Emperor of Chu was deep in thought, and Meng Ci could now be sure that Marquis Yongchang had no relationship with him as a bed brother.

His favoritism towards the Hou's Mansion is due to his former brotherhood and the existence of Shen Yi.

But the emperor's favor is even more unreliable than the floating clouds in the sky.

The cheap old man has a heavy army in his hands, and now the southern border is calm again, who knows what His Majesty is thinking, maybe he will take the opportunity to suppress the Marquis Mansion and take back the military power?
No risk!

Even if Emperor Chu is willing to expose this matter, after all, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor, or deceiving the former emperor. If it is not handled properly, it will cause criticism from the courtiers.

This woman's identity cannot be peeled off!

And the boss there...

I want to chop my hands, I'm so scared, oh...

Meng Ci was preoccupied, and Xiaocha suggested: "Young master, let the shadow kill He Lianshu, so that there will be no worries. With such a big bargaining chip, he probably won't tell others casually!"

Simple and rude way.

Meng Ci shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work! Now he must have strengthened his protection. It is very difficult to break into the siege and kill people. Moreover, the peace talks are coming soon. If He Lianshu dies in Dachu, it will be extremely detrimental to the peace talks. Give me an explanation, and I will definitely do my best to find the assassin!"

"At that time, the Hou Mansion probably won't be able to retreat unscathed!"

This is also the reason why He Lianshu has no fear!
He was certain: Meng Ci didn't dare to kill himself in the territory of Da Chu!
