Drunk House Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Selection (Second Update)

The emperor looked at Duanhua, and rarely reprimanded him, "Duanhua, you are too nonsense."

Duanhua was extremely wronged, "Uncle Huang, why can't I go to Jiangning County? Just because his fiancee is in Jiangning County, can I not go to play?"

Princess Sheng'an said at this time, "You can go, but you can't go with Zhou Gu. How about this? If you want to go to Jiangning County and stay for a while, the Duke Huguo's Mansion is going to be hired by Jiangning County. I also want to go for a walk, and I will take you there."

Duanhua opened his eyes wide.

"How?" Princess Sheng'an asked: "Isn't it just a small Jiangning County? As the princess, where can you not go in this world? You can break into the Duke Huguo's mansion, you can enter the palace, it's just a small Jiangning County."

Duanhua lost her voice for a moment. She wanted to go to Jiangning County, but she definitely didn't want to go with Princess Sheng'an.

She lowered her head, Na Na refused.

Princess Sheng'an still didn't understand something, she sneered, "Why? I don't agree to go with me? It's fine to go with Zhou Gu? Why do you want to go to Jiangning County to play? It's not because you have an ulterior motive?"

Duanhua wanted to cry again, but she couldn't bear the aura of Princess Sheng'an, so she turned to look at her mother.

Qingping's face was livid, but what can he do? Zhou Gu made an apology, didn't he just say that he was right and would not make an apology? She hated secretly, and said, "Isn't it too easy to only have two bottles of creamy jade satin ointment?"

Princess Sheng'an laughed, "Then what do you want to apologize for?"

Qing Ping immediately said: "Slap that guard named Zi Ye with 30 boards and let the Imperial Court Division beat it, and that's all."

She said that she killed Ziye without opening her mouth, and it was impossible for her to know.

Princess Sheng An shook her head, "No, he was ordered by Zhou Gu." After a pause, she continued: "Two bottles of creamy jade satin ointment are indeed a bit light, so let me make the decision. Zhou Gu will take out another five thousand taels of private money to make an apology to Duanhua."

Qingping still wanted to refuse to let her go, but the emperor coughed and stopped her, "I think it's okay, so be it!"

When the emperor spoke, Qingping had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, and Duanhua didn't dare to cry anymore, so the matter was over.

Princess Sheng'an stood up and said to the emperor: "Brother Gu came back from traveling all the way, and before he entered the mansion, he was called into the palace by His Majesty. Now that the matter is settled, I will take him back."

The emperor nodded, "Auntie, go slowly."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then stood up, "I also want to go back to the imperial study, and send my aunt off by the way."

Princess Sheng'an smiled kindly, and waved to the emperor, "Your Majesty hasn't finished your dinner yet, right? You don't need to send it away. Your Majesty's body is important, so take care of your dragon's body."

After she finished speaking, she walked out without waiting for the emperor to speak again. Zhou Gu bid farewell to the emperor, helped the eldest princess Sheng'an, and left the palace of concubine Xian.

The emperor could only order, "Li Quan, send my aunt off."

Li Quanying was right, and hurriedly followed out.

The emperor sat down again, looked at Qingping and Duanhua, sighed, and said to Duanhua: "Now you should learn a lesson. Since Zhou Gu doesn't like you, don't pester her anymore. There are many good men in Beijing, and Zhou Gu is not the only one."

Duanhua's eyes were red and he remained silent.

When the emperor saw her like this, he knew that she still couldn't let go of Zhou Gu. He had a headache and said, "Who do you like? I like Zhou Gu, but if it's another person, even if it's my prince, I can let him marry you."

Duanhua shouted aggrievedly, "Uncle Huang..."

The emperor no longer looked at her, but said to Princess Qingping: "Qingping, take her back! You can also see that even if Duanhua is reasonable this time, the things she did in the past are all unreasonable. My aunt ignored it before because she was too lazy to pay attention to it. Now that she is serious about paying attention to you, that is to settle the old and new accounts together. I have no reason to be biased against Duanhua."

The emperor reminded her after finishing speaking, "It's the things Duanhua has done in the past few years that have annoyed Zhou Gu so much. My aunt is right. What can I say?"

Qingping also knew in his heart that although he was not reconciled, today was not a fruitless day. At the very least, Zhou Gu was punished lightly. Two bottles of fat jade satin ointment cost two thousand gold, plus five thousand taels of silver.

Qingping stood up, "What Brother Huang said is true."

She stretched out her hand to hold Duanhua, and took two steps, but still a little unwilling, she stopped, "Brother Huang, don't you think that my aunt is too domineering and confident in front of you? Doesn't she rely on the Duke Protector's Mansion to hold the military power?"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor lowered his face.

Qingping immediately confessed, "Brother Huang, calm down."

The emperor scowled angrily, "Get down!"

Qing Ping didn't say anything, turned around and left the Concubine Xian's Palace, but she knew in her heart that her words provoked the emperor's anger. Of course, the anger was not directed at her, but at the Duke Huguo's mansion. She sneered in her heart, her aunt had always looked down on her, but so what? Brother Huang will not allow the Huguo Duke's Mansion to continue to be famous unless the crown prince succeeds to the throne, but it is hard to say whether the crown prince can successfully succeed to the throne.

After Qingping left, the emperor dropped a teacup, and with a "snap", the teacup fell to the ground and fell apart.

Concubine Xian was shocked on the face, but she was not panicked at all. She quickly took the emperor's hand, and said gently, "Your Majesty, why get angry? The Eldest Princess has always had this temper."

The emperor's face darkened, "Yes, she has always had this temper."

He shook off Concubine Xian's hand, stood up abruptly, walked out, Concubine Xian froze for a moment, got up and wanted to keep her, the emperor strode out of Concubine Xian's palace without looking back.

Concubine Xian chased her out, but the emperor had already left.

Concubine Xian's face was ugly. Although she knew that the emperor was angry with Princess Sheng'an because of Qingping's words, she was still a little uncertain when he left in such a huff.

Since the establishment of the dynasty by Taizu, Duke Huguo's Mansion has been prominent until now. It has been loyal to the imperial power, never deviated from it, and never stood in line, but that was before. Now Zhou Gu has obviously become a member of the East Palace and is helping the East Palace with things.

Although Zhou Gu cannot represent the Zhou family, he is the youngest and most favored descendant of the Zhou family. He works for the crown prince. Who knows that the Duke Huguo's mansion will not be gradually dragged to the camp of the Eastern Palace in the future?

If the Duke Huguo's Mansion supports the East Palace, then the two parties join forces, what chance does her son have to sit in that position?

Concubine Xian's eyes showed a gloomy look, thinking that Zhou Gu and the East Palace should not be able to go on smoothly. Today, through Duanhua's incident, she also understood that both Zhou Gu and the Huguo Gongfu seem to value the little concubine in Jiangning County, otherwise Princess Sheng'an would not approve of Zhou Gu's actions, and came forward to protect him.

In this way, does it mean that she can start with that little concubine?

Concubine Xian thought of this, turned around and went back to the palace, called someone, and ordered in a low voice, "Send someone to Jiangning County to check on Zhou Gu's fiancée."

The man replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Su Xu, the prefect of Jiangning, has been promoted to the governor of Jiangzhou, and I'm afraid he is no longer in Jiangning County."

"No matter where she is, check, I want to know everything about her, especially why the Duke Huguo's mansion has this marriage contract with the Jiangning prefect's mansion." Concubine Xian ordered.

This person should be.

Out of the palace, after Princess Sheng An and Zhou Gu got into the carriage, Zhou Gu expressed admiration, "Grandmother, you are so amazing."

Princess Sheng'an was amused, and nodded his forehead, "What is this? When your grandmother was the most powerful, you were still the unincarnated Ah Piao."

Zhou Gu: "..."

Princess Sheng'an saw him speechless, and put away her smile, "As long as grandma is alive, even Your Majesty, don't even try to bully my grandson."

Zhou Gu smiled, but quickly put it away, and said to Princess Sheng An, "Grandma, I am helping the prince now."

Princess Sheng An nodded, "When you entered the study room and was kicked to the East Palace by His Majesty, it was the result of your grandfather and His Majesty testing each other. If the Crown Prince was unkind, your grandfather would not have let you stay in the East Palace as a companion for many years. Although our Duke Huguo's Mansion does not stand in line to meddle in the battles between the princes, it is because of the Ming Lord. Now that the Ming Lord is not here, let's talk about it. You can choose yourself."

Zhou Gu muttered in a low voice, "Grandfather didn't let me choose either."

The eldest princess of Sheng'an laughed angrily, "You mean to make you abandon martial arts and follow literature?" She patted Zhou Gu on the head, "You four brothers, all of you were enlightened by your grandfather. You never thought about why your grandfather didn't force them, but came to you to force you to learn literature?"

Zhou Gu naturally thought, "I'm smart."

Princess Sheng An nodded with a smile, "You are right. Your grandfather said that among the four of you, you are the only one who is smarter. You are not only good at learning martial arts, but also very talented in books. It takes half an hour for your three brothers to memorize an article, but you only need a cup of tea to memorize an article."

Zhou Gu wanted to say that Su Rong still had a photographic memory, and his cup of tea was really not enough to look at in front of her.

"Your grandfather has gone through three dynasties and assisted your majesty for three times. Your father and uncles all died in battle. This is what we should do as generals. It is never an empty talk." Princess Sheng'an mentioned that a white-haired man sent a black-haired man. For generations."

"Throughout history, have you ever seen a famous general who has been famous forever?" She touched Zhou Gu's head, "Your Majesty today is not as generous as the previous emperors. Your grandfather and I both understand that as long as we live, the Duke Protector's Mansion will be built in one day. If we close our eyes one day, the Duke Protector's Mansion will be different. Fortunately, the prince is good. It is said that three years old is the young man, and seven years old is the old man. Another way to go. Of course, it is also because you have this talent, you can give it a try, and there is no room for you in the army. After all, the glory of the general family has long since come to an end, and your brothers are enough to support the family. But take the road of civil servants, Brother Gu, you have infinite possibilities, and your name will go down in history. It may not be a delusion."

Zhou Gu took a deep breath, although he always knew the family's plan for him, but saying it so clearly made him feel a lot of pressure, he held back for a while, and said: "Grandfather really thinks highly of me."

The eldest princess of Sheng'an, Le, patted him on the shoulder, and said lovingly: "Be confident, grandma believes in you."

Zhou Gu curled his lips. He would rather not be smart. When he was a child, he would not be kicked around like playing football. Now that he has finally grown up, he feels that it is not as good as when he was a child. He would rather be in the East Palace and accompany the prince to study.

He sighed deeply, "Your Majesty supported the first and second princes, and stood up to contend with His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness demanded stability, but he could not take a step back. I don't know how long the current situation will last. If the stalemate lasts for a few years, the subsequent princes will also grow up. By then, there will only be a lot of people staring at the position of His Royal Highness, and they will be like wolves and tigers."

"Although the prince's situation is not good, it is not necessarily a bad thing. His Majesty's ascension to the throne is too smooth. He is not relying on himself. He is relying on others to support him on the throne. After he sits in that position, his heart is still not at ease. It was okay in the early years, but in recent years, he has become more and more concerned about power and suspicious." Princess Sheng'an said: "Only when I sit in that position step by step, will I be at ease. Although it is difficult, it is not so easy to rule the world? The world is not good Yes, it's not easy to sit, but only if you get it by yourself, you can sit firmly and have a solid heart, so you won't be suspicious all day long, and you can have the world in your heart, so that you can benefit the people.”

Zhou Gu nodded, "Grandmother is right."

"It's a matter of time to break the situation. His Royal Highness is capable. You just do things for him. If you have to, your grandfather and I will help you. This beam..." Princess Sheng'an paused and squinted her eyes. "The beam guarded by so many of us can't last forever, but it can't be limited to just a few generations."

See you tomorrow~
