The concubine is coming, please be gentle, my lord

Chapter 167 Who is real and who is fake
Prince Ming's mansion is not that luxurious either, compared to Sikong Zhenze's mansion in Spring City, it is a bit more shabby.

Most of the people in the mansion were men, and when they saw Gu Xiaoqian strolling around Ming Palace with great interest, they also looked at it curiously.

This is the first time that other women have come to the mansion since the princess lived in it.

"You can't go in here." Mai Qian angrily blocked Gu Xiaoqian's way.

"Why?"

"This is the courtyard where the princess lives." Mai Qian said, not forgetting to look at her provocatively, "At the beginning, the prince took great pains to build the Weiguang courtyard, with small bridges and flowing water, green lotus in the sky, peach blossoms in front of the house, and plum trees in the back. To prevent the rain and dirt from dirtying the princess's shoes and socks, so the places where you walk are all paved with bluestone slabs, our prince values ​​the princess more than anyone else."

"Tsk tsk." Gu Xiaoqian smacked her tongue and shook her head, "I'm ashamed to show off something that wastes people's money." Most importantly, how much will it cost? If someone gives her ready-made money, it will be more comfortable than this yard.

"Hmph, I'm afraid no one will do this for you!" Mai Qian just didn't like her, and said all kinds of thorns.

"Xiaoqianqian, how do you know?" Gu Xiaoqian asked intentionally, blinking his eyes, "I think Xiaoqianqian can go to set up a stall under the overpass in the future. If you count your fingers like this, the business will definitely be booming."

"You..." Mai Qian was furious. I had never seen such a woman who was so indifferent. His stomach was full of anger, and so was his father. Why did he let him follow her and look after her.

"Let me tell you, if you want to call me Xiaoqianqian, I won't be rude to you." Don't think that because she is a woman, he won't dare to hit her.

"Really, Xiaoqianqian." Gu Xiaoqian said innocently, seeing that the other party's face was flushed and his hands were tightly clenched, his eyes slanted, and he looked behind, "Butler Mai, why are you here? Look at your son who said he was going to beat me up."

"Eh? Dad, I didn't hit anyone." Mai Qian quickly explained.

When I looked up, there was nothing behind me.

That liar woman, he will definitely not spare her lightly, and when he turned around again, Gu Xiaoqian had already disappeared.

Where have people gone?

After getting rid of the little tail of Mai Qian, Gu Xiaoqian was spared from the rockery, and she walked straight as long as there was a way...

He just walked to a secluded place, and watched Sikong Jingheng enter a room from afar.

Is it the study?
Gu Xiaoqian walked over excitedly.

"My lord, the battle at Shamenguan is tight. Fortunately, General Youyun is in command, and there is no major problem. It's just that the northwest side may not be ideal. I heard that the son of the rebel King Jing was killed. King Jing was furious and led his troops. Fortunately, they were intercepted when they crossed the Northwest Pass, but recently Nan Zhao came to help, and the Northwest Border Pass was under heavy pressure. I am afraid that they could not resist, and the Eastern Kingdom has been making constant moves in recent years. They have been sending people to Xiliang, with ulterior motives. Although I, Beichen, have a good relationship with Xiliang, the old king of Xiliang is dead, and the crown prince has succeeded to the throne. We are not familiar with this prince. If the crown prince agrees to Dong's request, and the three kingdoms attack Beichen together, I'm afraid..."

I dare not say or think about what will happen next.

Because I am afraid that the country will be destroyed in the end.

There was silence in the room for a moment, Gu Xiaoqian did not expect that she would hear such a paragraph, she had never cared about these important national affairs, but if it was true, then Beichen would be very dangerous.

"My lord," the voice in the room said with a bit of bitterness: "It is rumored that people from the Duanmu clan appeared in Dongzhi."

There is a saying among the four countries that if people from the Duanmu clan appear in any country, the balance of victory will be tilted towards that country.

"Really?" Sikong Jingheng still couldn't hear the change of emotion in his voice.

Gu Xiaoqian felt that it was impolite to listen to other people's speech, so she planned to leave secretly.

"Who are you?" A scolding came from Jingkong.

Not only was Gu Xiaoqian frightened, but the people in the house also heard it.

The door of the room was opened immediately, and a middle-aged man with the appearance of a frail scholar rushed out angrily. Unexpectedly, there would be someone eavesdropping in Prince Ming's mansion. This was a big deal.

"I'm afraid it's going to snow today." Gu Xiaoqian calmly looked up at the sky, pretending to just pass by here, admiring the gray sky.

"You were the one who eavesdropped just now?" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with murderous intent. In such a sensitive period, if he is a spy sent by the enemy country, he must be executed on the spot.

"Hey, are you talking about me? I was passing by and didn't hear anything." Gu Xiaoqian said innocently.

"The girl has been standing outside the door eavesdropping just now, how could she be passing by." The guards didn't recognize her, suddenly there was a stranger in the mansion, no matter how he looked at it, he looked suspicious, now he just waited for the prince's order to take this person down.

"Standing outside the door must be eavesdropping? Is there anything worth my eavesdropping on you, and it's not my man cheating on you. Is it necessary for me to eavesdrop?" Gu Xiaoqian said nonsense.

Outsiders never knew that a woman would say such shameless words, especially a middle-aged man. These words are too unethical. Whose woman is this, so uneducated.

"My lord, is this?"

Sikong Jingheng looked at Gu Xiaoqian with indifference, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gu Xiaoqian sighed slightly in his heart, and said seriously, "Sikong Jingheng, do you believe me?"

She didn't call him King Ming, but called him by his name directly, she asked, do you believe me?

Sikong Jingheng's heart trembled, his appearance was different, but his eyes and tone of voice were too similar.

"Don't wander around in the future, Mai Qian?" His tone was still cold, but it was considered to have exposed the eavesdropping just now.

"My lord." Mai Qian searched for Gu Xiaoqian for a long time, and when he came here, he saw a few people standing at the door. When he got closer, he heard the lord asking him.

"Take Miss Gu to go shopping with others, and you are not allowed to approach the study in the future, otherwise you will be killed without mercy." Sikong Jingheng said.

Mai Qian was taken aback, is the prince angry?

What trouble did this woman get into again?

The corner of Gu Xiaoqian's mouth curled up, but he didn't say anything else.

After wandering around again, when it was time for dinner in the evening, Mai Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and left quickly after eating, really out of sight and out of mind.

In the hall, the fake Gu Xiaoqian was talking to Sikong Jingheng, with a gentle smile on his face, who looked like a handsome man and beautiful woman with deep feelings.

Gu Xiaoqian lowered her eyes and gave a low laugh, ignoring the pity Mai Qian handed her.

"My sister is here, how is the palace going?" The woman acted like a hostess.

"That's right," Gu Xiaoqian sat across from the woman, "But, I've probably seen better ones, and I can't see the others."

Although Sikong Jingheng didn't look at her, but she was all around her out of the corner of her eye. She seemed to have thought of something happy, and tapped the table with her index finger briskly, with a nostalgic look on her face.

Who is she thinking about again?
Thinking of this, Sikong Jingheng's expression darkened a lot.

The food was brought up one after another. Gu Xiaoqian took a look, then looked up at Sikong Jingheng, and then again, hesitant to speak...

"Sister, what do you want to say?" The woman didn't like other women looking at the prince, but she couldn't express it directly. She didn't seem to like this woman who appeared out of nowhere in her heart.

"Eh? Do you usually eat so lightly?" Gu Xiaoqian looked at a table of dishes with little oil, salt, and chili, and couldn't finish her mouth. At any rate, she could be counted as a guest at the house, and she shouldn't make it for the guests. Would you like something delicious?

"My lord is not in good health, the doctor said you can't eat spicy food."

Gu Xiaoqian had nothing to say, so she just ate a full meal like that, no wonder she didn't suffer from stomach problems.

"Besides, I'm not in good health, and the prince doesn't allow me to eat spicy food." The woman looked at Sikong Jingheng shyly, as if embarrassed.

Hehe, is this a show of affection with her?
Gu Xiaoqian was thinking secretly, "Show affection quickly, sister will make you proud for two days, and when the truth comes out, sister will personally demonstrate to you what it means to show affection."

"Okay, I'll eat vegetarian once in a while for a change." Gu Xiaoqian took a bite of vegetables, and sure enough, he still wanted to eat meat.

"My lord, try this, I asked the cook to make it for you." The woman picked up a chopstick and put it in Sikong Jingheng's bowl.

"Xiao Qian, try this." Sikong Jingheng also picked up a chopstick of the woman's favorite dish and put it in her bowl.

Gu Xiaoqian glanced at it, it was green and oily, must this be her favorite food?

"Delicious." The woman sweetly ate the food Sikong Jingheng gave her, as if she had eaten the most delicious food in the world.

"Hehe." Gu Xiaoqian laughed dryly, seeing the two people looking at her, "Do you really think this is delicious?"

Her craft is better than this.

If it weren't for the lack of strength now, she would cook a table of meals for the two of them to taste what is delicious.

"Sister, if you don't think it tastes good, why don't you drink the soup." He said and pushed a separate soup pot next to her over.

"Princess, the prince specially ordered it to be made for you." The waiter behind hurriedly stopped it. It was full of nourishing medicinal materials, and the princess would drink a can of it every meal.

"It's okay, anyway, I drink it every day, and the prince has to watch me finish it every time before giving up, and he doesn't ask if I'm tired of drinking every day."

"Hehe. Since it's King Ming's wish, it's better for Elder Sister Gu to drink it herself." She didn't drink this stuff. When she was in the palace, she drank stuff every day. She felt sick when she drank too much. She didn't envy this kind of stuff. thing.

"My sister doesn't need to refuse, I don't think the prince will mind."

"Elder Sister Gu said so, King Ming certainly wouldn't mind, but it's a pity that I don't like soup, so Sister Gu should drink it by herself." Are you kidding me, even if Sikong Jingheng personally made it for her, she might not even drink it, What's more, this soup was given by the rival in love.

"Have someone serve another cup." One sentence made both of them shut up at the same time.

It also made others wonder, what happened to the prince, it seems that the one who came today is not simple!

Gu Xiaoqian is about to cry. The soup sounds like a bluff. It is a soup made from ginseng, goji berries, various precious Chinese herbs and hens. It is said to be soup, but it is a pity that it is full of medicinal materials in the mouth. The taste is really terrible.

"Ming Wang." Gu Xiaoqian said once in a while, with a rare seriousness on his face, "Fang Fei grew up in a military camp, and her health has always been good. This soup is too expensive. Most people drink it, I'm afraid it will be harmful to the body. Not good, thank you kindly, let Sister Gu drink more."

"How does Miss Gu know about Tang Minggui?" Sikong Jingheng looked at her.

"Eh?" Why didn't she know, she just drank it, "The soup that the prince prepared for Sister Gu is definitely not an ordinary soup, so I guess it is expensive."

Gu Xiaoqian silently praised her wit.

"It's okay, the doctor said that drinking it is good for ordinary people, and there is absolutely no harm." For some reason, seeing her avoid soup like a beast made him feel the same as Xiao Qian drinking soup three years ago resemblance.

No harm, drink it yourself.Gu Xiaoqian did not dare to say this.

Looking at the soup cans brought up, she encouraged herself, Gu Xiaoqian was just soup, not poison, and it was fine after drinking it.

Holding the soup can with a tragic face, he raised his head and finished.

Others were dumbfounded, and there are people who drink soup like this?

"Hi~!" Gu Xiaoqian hiccupped, her mouth full of the smell of medicinal herbs, "Master Ming, I'm full, you can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, regardless of them, he walked out quickly.

"This younger sister is really interesting. Drinking a soup is like encountering a beast." The woman covered her mouth with a smile and said to Sikong Jingheng.

But he saw Sikong Jingheng staring at the empty doorway with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The woman's heart sank, the prince really loved that man...

After eating, the woman went back to her yard, and Sikong Jingheng went to the study again.

The bamboo slips in his hand didn't move, and he didn't know where to go.

Mai Tile came in once and asked, did the girl who came today stay at the palace tonight?Do you want to prepare a wing room?
"Uncle Mai." Sikong Jingheng raised his head and looked at the elder in front of him, who had always treated him as his own son, closer than his own relatives.

"My lord, are you thinking about that girl?" Sikong Jingheng's distraction has always been about one person, Mai Ti replied clearly.

Sikong Jingheng was silent, and he was also puzzled. When he first found Xiaoqian, he felt that it was Xiaoqian. Aside from the same appearance, his words and deeds were all the same. It was his Xiaoqian.

He was as happy as a treasure, even though Xiaoqian lost his memory again, didn't know him, and repeatedly denied that she was not Xiaoqian, but he still believed that she was Xiaoqian and brought her back.

But now, the one who appeared suddenly confuses him.

This one doesn't look like her at all, she chokes to death with her eloquent teeth, but he just wants to get closer for no reason, and can't help but watch her every move, guessing what she will do next.

"My lord, the girl who came to the mansion today is indeed Gu Fangfei, the daughter of General Xiliang. As for whether she is the younger sister of the concubine, I don't know." He didn't say what happened next, but Sikong Jingheng understood.

Everything showed that she was not Gu Xiaoqian.

But he didn't think that way, just like once on the battlefield, when the enemy soldier blocked the knife for him, everyone thought he was talking nonsense and was deeply hurt.

He firmly believed that there was Xiaoqian in his body at that time, and she said that she would definitely come back.

So he tries to stay alive, he waits for her to come to her.

But, who is the real Gu Xiaoqian?
"Uncle Mai, go to Huo Mansion and get her things. From today on, she will live here."

McTile sighed slightly in his heart, the lord, whether it is the princess or this woman, it is impossible to have two maids and one husband, and one will be hurt in the end.
