Fei Luan Hall
"Your Highness, what's bad is that people from Hewei have found out about the Gao family."
"What?" The second prince had long known how powerful He Wei was, so when his father asked He Wei to investigate the rumors, he had already started to let his people avoid the limelight.
The Gao family is his biggest bargaining chip, and now his home is confiscated by He Wei. These are not the most important things. What he fears most is that this is just the beginning.
"Let's find a way to make Master Gao commit suicide."
After the guards left, the second prince stood up and came to the window. After thinking for a moment, he led the guards out of the palace.
Tao Ranju
"Miss, the weather is so nice today, are you really not going to go out for a walk? Senior Jiu Qingzi has been waiting for you in the yard for a long time. If you don't go out, wouldn't it be boring for him to be alone?"
Qiu Gui wanted to be like an old lady, talking about mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and kept talking. Tao Yaoyao originally wanted to think about how to face Xie Lan in the future, but she was so noisy that she couldn't think of anything, and finally got up and went to the yard.
"Girl, it looks like you didn't rest well."
Tao Yaoyao sat on the recliner exhausted physically and mentally, "Drinking will make things worse."
Jiu Qingzi looked over with a gossipy expression. Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao quickly explained, "Well... I originally wanted to go out today. It was not because of drinking that I was delayed."
Jiu Qingzi didn't believe what he said, "I remember you were anxious to get married yesterday. Your cousin came over just now. I told him that he has already gone to help you look for someone. When you find your beloved, let him accompany you. You go shopping. When the time comes, everyone will pick up the items and pay for them."
The seniors' ideas are quite advanced.
Tao Yaoyao laughed at herself, "Actually, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter..."
"Miss, it's not good, the second prince is here again." Qiu Gui rushed into the courtyard with an anxious look on his face, "I heard that the second prince came here today and brought a lot of things. Miss, is he here to pay a betrothal gift?" .”
When Tao Yaoyao heard this possibility, she stood up.
Dingbei Palace
"The second prince's people carried three or four boxes to the Tao family. The people who saw this scene ran to the door of the Tao family to watch the excitement. They said... that the second prince was going to hire someone from the Tao family."
Xie Lan was reading the archives of Dali Temple. Hearing this, his hand holding the archives tightened slightly, and then he said coldly, "I know."
Changfeng wanted to say something else, but Xie Lan waved his hand, indicating that he could go out.
After he was the only one left in the room, Xie Lan's mind was filled with the scene of Tao Yaoyao forcibly kissing him yesterday. The second prince actually cares about such a bold woman and is not afraid that he will not be able to control her in the future.
However, she is not stupid. She knew to find her in-laws yesterday, and she must have guessed the second prince's thoughts, so she should be able to handle today's scene.
After Xie Lan submitted herself, she lowered her head and continued to read the file, but this time, she couldn't read a word, and she didn't even hear Changfeng coming in.
"My lord, you have the file in your hand upside down."
Bang. Xie Lan put down the file and stood up, "Didn't you say you have to go out for something? Why don't you go quickly?"
"yes."
When Changfeng left, the servant brought a letter to Xie Lan. Xie Lan opened the letter and frowned after reading the contents.
But not long after, he threw the letter in his hand into the brazier, then turned around and left the palace.
Tao's house, front hall
"Second Prince, I'm really sorry. My young lady suffered from the cold last night and is still resting. I'm afraid she won't be able to come out to meet guests today." Qiu Gui knelt on the ground and said with a scared look on her face.
Tao Yanyan originally heard that the second prince came here to look for Tao Yaoyao, and she was a little jealous. Now when she heard Qiu Gui's words, she immediately smiled. She, the eldest sister, had a problem with her brain. She would not accept the wealth that came to her door every time.
You don’t even look at what you are, do you really think that pie will fall from the sky every time?
"Your Highness, the eldest sister is not feeling well, and the little girl is fine. How about she accompany you for a walk in the yard?" Tao Yanyan stood in front of the second prince with a shy look on his face. She came to see her today wearing her best clothes and the jewelry she just bought. She was dressed up carefully.
I thought that the second prince would be happy seeing her like this, but who knew that the second prince didn't even look at her, walked around her, and came to Qiu Gui.
"Your lady is sick? Have you seen a doctor? Is the illness serious?"
The second prince looked worried. After asking, he hurried out without waiting for Qiu Gui to speak. Seeing this, the second prince's guard pulled up Qiu Gui and asked her to lead the way. In just a moment, the room that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet.
Tao Yanyan was very angry when he saw this.
Tao Yaoyao, it’s you again. Why do you want to steal my lady's things even when you are sick?
Tao Ranju
The servants who got the news came over early to spread the news. Fortunately, Tao Yaoyao had already guessed the second prince's thoughts and lay on the bed pretending to be sick when Qiu Gui went out. Now that I know they are coming, I am not in a hurry.
Jiu Qingzi sat aside with a chicken leg in one hand and soju in the other. This day looked moist.
"I thought you had come up with some good idea. Can you hide for a while, or for a lifetime? I tell you, you should find someone to marry you as soon as possible. By the way, I gave it to you yesterday That proposal is very good, are you sure you don’t want to consider it?”
What did Senior Jiu Qingzi say yesterday? When Tao Yaoyao closed her eyes, the first thing that came to her mind was Xie Lan's angry face and the angry look on him when she forcibly kissed him.
"How can we, mortals, remember the appearance of an immortal?" Yes, yes, yes, if you miss the immortals, you will be struck by lightning. She doesn't want to die.
Tao Yaoyao forced herself not to think wildly and to get over the current hurdle first.
"Miss, the second prince is here to see you." Qiu Gui was afraid that Tao Yaoyao was not ready yet, so he started calling her as soon as he entered the room. Jiu Qingzi gave her a disgusted look, and then turned his attention to the second prince.
The second prince was not there when Jiu Qingzi entered the palace that day, but the second prince had heard his mother and concubine tell him about his identity, and originally wanted to find a chance to get to know him, but he didn't expect to meet him here today.
"Uncle." The second prince stepped forward and saluted. Jiu Qingzi took the jug and dodged, "I am no longer a member of the royal family, and I have nothing to do with you."
The second prince frowned. He was just a prince with no power. He was willing to lower his status and salute him. This was already giving him face, but he still didn't appreciate it.
Moreover, he heard that that bitch Xie Lan called him that. Why, Xie Lan could call him, but he couldn't?
If he hadn't been busy with other things today, the second prince would not have let him go just like that.
"Why is Miss Tao's face so pale? Isn't it because of the cold? Why is it so serious?" The second prince came to the bed anxiously and reached out to touch her face. Qiu Gui's face changed greatly in fear, but she did not He dared to yell at the second prince, and he just wanted to step forward to stop him.
However, she was standing some distance away from the second prince, and at this moment, the second prince's hands were about to touch her young lady. Just when Qiu Gui was getting anxious, Jiu Qingzi suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him.
When the second prince saw this, a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, "Uncle, what are you doing? I just want to see if Miss Tao has a fever."
"This girl's maid is right next to her. Besides, doesn't the second prince know that men and women cannot teach and receive things clearly?" The second prince wanted to pretend to be confused, but Jiu Qingzi was not used to it.
With his mind revealed, the second prince could only take back his hand.
"How can I trouble Your Highness with such menial work? I'll just come here." Qiu Gui smiled gratefully at Jiu Qingzi, then quickly knelt down by the bed and touched Tao Yaoyao's forehead.
"Oh, senior, my lady has a fever again. Please give my lady some acupuncture quickly." Qiu Gui said and gave up her seat.
After seeing Jiu Qingzi come out with the silver needle, he hurriedly came to the second prince and said, "Your Highness, senior is about to perform the acupuncture. I will take you to the outer room."
The second prince originally wanted to say that he didn't mind standing here, but when he saw Jiu Qingzi rolling up Tao Yaoyao's sleeves, he swallowed the words as they reached his lips.
Even if he is a prince, he cannot act recklessly in a woman's boudoir. Otherwise, if this matter spreads, he, the prince, will lose his face.
However, leaving like this made the second prince feel very uncomfortable.
Although he now wanted something from Tao Yaoyao, he was still unwilling to lower his status. He came to the Tao family for two days in a row. He thought that his performance had been obvious. If the Tao family didn't express anything...
"Miss, the second prince is still outside. It seems that he can't see you and refuses to leave." Qiu Gui was embarrassed.
He said everything that should be said and what shouldn't be said, but the second prince refused to leave, and she really had no choice.
Tao Yaoyao frowned, Jiu Qingzi looked at her and gloated, "I told you just now that your method of dealing with rogues is still too conservative."
"But I don't have a fiancé. How can I drive him away?" If possible, Tao Yaoyao didn't want to go through such trouble, but didn't she have no choice?
On weekdays, there are many good-looking men on the streets of Kyoto City, but at this critical moment, none of them are useful. Could it be that she really has too high expectations?
"King Dingbei, why are you here?"
The voice of the second prince came from the outer room. He had decided to be King of the North. Could it be that Xie Lan was here? No, he shouldn't hate her to death now, why would he come to Tao's house? She must have heard wrong.
Jiu Qingzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he happily went outside carrying the wine bottle.
"Are you ready with everything I asked you to prepare?" Jiu Qingzi greeted Xie Lan as soon as he came out, ignoring that the second prince was still talking to Xie Lan.
The second prince was very dissatisfied with this. This Shu Qingzi used to be a prince, but now he is so unruly.
Xie Lan originally had nothing to say to the second prince, but when Jiu Qingzi interrupted him, he felt it was just right.
"What you want." Xie Lan handed over a wooden box.
Jiu Qingzi looked at him as if he were an idiot, then took him to the back room. When the second prince saw this, he immediately became unhappy. He was inside just now, and Jiu Qingzi's eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not a nose.
Now that Xie Lan is here, why doesn't he say anything inappropriate?
However, his dissatisfaction was ignored at all. When he chased into the back room, he found that Tao Yaoyao was awake, so he walked forward with a smile and was about to say something. When Jiu Qingzi put the wooden box in his hand directly into Tao Yaoyao In Yaoyao's hand.
"King Dingbei gave it to you."
Tao Yaoyao didn't want it, but she was afraid that Xie Lan would talk about what happened yesterday in public, so she reluctantly took it over, "What is this?"
"Dragon and phoenix bracelet." After finishing the sentence, he added, "The current queen's personal belongings are also a family heirloom given to her daughter-in-law. This thing is extremely valuable, so you must take it."
What?
Tao Yaoyao's hands trembled in fear and she almost threw the wooden box in her hand. But after holding it firmly, she felt that this thing was even hotter.
No, who can tell her what the situation is now?
Senior Jiu Qingzi definitely has nothing to say. She quickly looked at Xie Lan.
Xie Lan was still as lukewarm as before, and even after hearing what Jiu Qingzi said just now, he had no reaction. However, the second prince next to him changed his expression first, "King Dingbei, what do you mean?"
"The second prince has a bad mind and bad eyesight? I already said that this dragon and phoenix bracelet is for the future daughter-in-law. This girl has accepted the prince's betrothal gift, so she naturally agreed to marry King Dingbei."
After Jiu Qingzi finished speaking, he winked at Tao Yaoyao, "Girl, I can find you a good-looking husband. He looks straight at you."
no. When did she agree to marry Xie Lan.
She was so motionless that she was frightened, frightened.
Who puts betrothal gifts into the girl's hands as soon as they come up? Xie Lan doesn't know, how can senior Jiu Qingzi know?
She always had the illusion that Senior Jiu Qingzi was plotting against her, but she had no proof.
"Miss Tao didn't speak from the beginning to the end. Senior, maybe you are too anxious." The second prince suppressed his anger and reminded Jiu Qingzi.
He came to the Tao family for two days in a row. Anyone who is not a fool would know what he was thinking. But the people in the Tao family, not to mention Tao Shian and that clingy fool Tao Yanyan, just said that Tao Yaoyao is not very smart. ? Can't she see it?
Or, she saw it and was pretending to be stupid, and now she agreed to marry another man in front of him. Was she deliberately humiliating him?
Okay, very good, he has remembered all the humiliation the Tao family gave him today.
"Why are you so anxious? King Dingbei is already old, and this girl has reached the age of getting married. You know, good things have to be snatched. I am helping this girl. After all, looking at the entire Kyoto city, there is no one like King Dingbei. A better-looking man?"
The second prince's face became ferocious due to Jiu Qingzi's anger, "Miss Tao is not as tacky as the senior said, right?"
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Everyone has a love for beauty, so why is it so vulgar?"
"If the second prince is not a vulgar person, why doesn't he like the second young lady of the Tao family? I heard that the second young lady was there both times you came to the Tao family, and any person with eyes can tell what she thinks about you. You can tell."
