Princess Zhaoyang's mouth twitched slightly: "I heard that Prince Guchangbo was helped away by his servants."
"That Kou girl is really powerful." Emperor Xingyuan said, suddenly losing consciousness.
Seeing him like this, the eldest princess Zhaoyang asked: "What's wrong with the emperor?"
Emperor Xingyuan came to his senses and said, "Oh, it's okay. Imperial sister, go ahead."
After Princess Zhaoyang left, Emperor Xingyuan leaned back on his chair and fell into a trance again.
At this age, he has met only one woman among a large number of people, and that is his wife Xinxin.
The difference is that Xinxin doesn't stay drunk after a thousand drinks, but her face doesn't change even after drinking too much, making it difficult for people to see her drunkenness.
Emperor Xingyuan couldn't help but become curious about the "Kou girl" he heard from his sister several times. Of course, this curiosity is human nature, and as the king of a country, he would not invite a little girl into the palace just to satisfy his curiosity. See you.
"Sun Yan, it is said that Gu Chang Bo has entered the palace."
When Gu Changbo heard the emperor's summons, he did not dare to delay for a moment and entered the palace. When he saw Emperor Xingyuan's face, he secretly said something bad.
"I heard that your son went to have a drink with Miss Kou who opened a bookstore?"
Gu Changbo had already scolded his son for this matter, but he never expected that the emperor would summon him to the palace for questioning.
"It makes Your Majesty laugh. That bastard never thinks of something."
"Young people are inevitably competitive, but it's better to focus on their civil and military studies rather than competing with women, what do you think?"
"Yes..." Gu Changbo responded honestly, but he was not convinced in his heart.
Does the emperor know that your son also had a fight with Miss Kou at the banquet not long ago?
Gu Changbo had the urge to file a complaint, but suddenly realized: He can't file a complaint, that's his nephew!
"I heard they lost." Emperor Xingyuan said calmly.
Gu Changbo was really embarrassed now. When he got home, he took a stick and went to find his son angrily.
Emperor Xingyuan called King Qing into the palace again and scolded him with a stern face: "Think about your identity before doing anything. You are different from your cousin."
King Qing was afraid of the always serious Emperor Xingyuan. He honestly admitted his mistake and only dared to show his anger after leaving the palace.
Who filed the complaint to the father?
Prince Qing, who was sitting on the carriage, raised the curtains and looked in the direction of the eldest princess's palace.
It must be his aunt.
Prince Qing lowered the car curtains with a gloomy expression and was in a very bad mood.
As long as he can remember, he has noticed that his aunt is very cold to him. When he grows older, he will be sure that it is not an illusion. The mother-in-law said that it was because her aunt didn't like her father's concubines and hated the house.
The King of Qing silently recited these words, and once again swore in his heart that when he got to that position, he would look good to some people.
Xin You met He Qingxiao the day before the news version of "Journey to the West" was released.
She was originally very embarrassed after talking so much nonsense, but time is magical. After seeing each other after these days, the awkward feeling became much lighter.
"Hello, Sir, have some tea."
Seeing Xin You's indifferent expression, He Qingxiao was a little unsure whether she still remembered those words she said when she was drunk, but she couldn't express less gratitude.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
But he didn't show it at all: "No, Miss Kou's wine is very good. This is a small thank you gift, I hope Miss Kou doesn't dislike it."
Xin You's eyes fell on the wooden box placed on the table, and she curled her lips slightly.
Master He actually prepared a thank you gift.
"Can I open it and take a look?"
He Qingxiao smiled and nodded: "Miss Kou, please do as you like."
Xin You opened the wooden box. Inside were various small animals carved from beautiful jade. There were twelve pieces in total, which were a set of twelve zodiac signs.
"It looks so withered." Xin You picked up a jade monkey and admired it sincerely.
Judging from the jade quality and workmanship, this set of twelve zodiac signs must not be cheap.
Xin You played with the little jade monkey, thinking that this would cost Mr. He a lot of money.
"As long as Miss Kou likes it." Seeing that she really liked it, He Qingxiao smiled at the corners of her eyebrows.
The drunken incident was in the past. Xin You asked about Princess Xuan: "Master He told me about the prince before. When I saw Princess Xuan that day, I was a little curious. Can Master He tell me about it?"
When she asked He Qingxiao about this before, she had to rack her brains to find a reason. Since she revealed most of her secrets, she could ask as soon as she could.
"There are three princesses in the palace. Princess Xuan is the eldest, only one year younger than Prince Qing. The other two princesses are twins, only eight years old this year..."
Xin You pursed her lips when she heard Princess Xuan's age.
Calculating the time, Princess Xuan's mother-in-law should have been pregnant when her mother left the palace.
Seeing that she was listening attentively, He Qingxiao continued: "The second princess and the third princess are still young and raised in a deep palace. Outsiders don't know much about their situation. As for Princess Xuan——"
"Does Princess Xuan leave the palace often?" Sensing He Qingxiao's hesitation, Xin You asked smoothly.
He Qingxiao shook her head: "Princess Xuan actually lives in seclusion, but because of her age, she attracts more attention than the two little princesses. And...Princess Xuan and Queen Ji are not awarded the title of princess."
In the past, a favored princess would be given a title not long after she was born, and would be given a title at the latest when she was born. Although there are many rules in the current dynasty that are different from those in the previous dynasty, the age of the two princes when they were granted the title of king was based on the previous dynasty. Princess Xuan was not granted the title when she reached adulthood, which makes people inevitably speculate about the emperor's attitude towards the eldest daughter.
The eldest princess is not favored. In the past two years, it has become the consensus of all officials and nobles.
Hearing what He Qingxiao said, Xin You finally understood where the strange feeling at the banquet that day came from.
No wonder several noble ladies were chatting and laughing, while Princess Xuan sat alone on the bench.
It is not difficult to understand this kind of mentality. A princess who is not favored by the emperor will not gain any benefit, and may get into trouble if she provokes her. Naturally, it is better to stay away from her.
Six princes and three princesses, that's quite a lot.
Xinyou lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.
"Miss Kou."
Xin You raised his eyes and looked at the man opposite.
At this moment, she was suddenly very happy for her choice when she faced his inquiry that day.
This gave her heart, which was filled with secrets, some space to breathe.
"What do you want to say, Mr. He?"
He Qingxiao leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "What do you think the emperor will do if he knows about Mr. Xin's existence?"
Xin You's eyes turned cold: "I can't think of it."
He Qingxiao looked at the face that was similar to Princess Zhaoyang's and sighed softly in her heart.
He couldn't figure it out either.
