Chapter 219: Fight without bloodshed
If she hadn't known that the two princesses had not been on good terms in their previous lives, she would have thought that they were very loving sisters.
Qin Yuan lowered his head and said nothing.
Gu Jinghui said in a cold voice: "According to the rules, the entire Dingbei Marquis's mansion should welcome the princess to express condolences, which is in accordance with the etiquette of the subjects, but at the moment, the situation is urgent and we have to do this. This marquis brought his wife to welcome her because of the difference between men and women. In order to protect the reputation of the princesses, if my wife is inappropriate, please forgive me."
Princess Fuyun saw that he was unhappy and said quickly, "Third brother, I just said that because I was worried that Madam had not seen the emperor and was confused."
Qin Yuan sneered in his heart, thinking that this was saying that his background was humble.
Gu Jinghui said in a cold and hard voice: “Princess, you must not call me Third Brother. If the Emperor hears about it, I will not be able to bear the consequences.”
Princess Fuyun's little face flushed red, her black and white eyes were filled with tears, and her eye sockets were slightly red.
The Ninth Princess said, "Lord Gu, you saved my Seventh Sister when she was young, and I have always remembered you. I heard that you once served as a companion in the palace, so my Seventh Sister calls you Third Brother to show her affection."
Gu Jinghui immediately said, “This is against etiquette, and I absolutely cannot accept this responsibility.”
Princess Fuyun's nose turned red and she looked at Lord Gu sadly.
After a long while, Princess Fuyun finally said in a trembling voice, "Jiang Wenqiu, have you been acting bad lately?"
Jiang Wenqi's head was sweating less and he slowly took up his sleeve to wipe it.
Housekeeper Cao also avoided people, took your hand and walked inside, saying: "Did he say that he had to see the emperor's intention before drafting the memorial? You see that the emperor seems to be in a hurry, should we submit the memorial after opening the palace?"
If the two princesses say something nice about you in front of the seven people, I'm afraid...
You are naturally happy to have received the protection of Butler Cao today, but you can't help but feel a little worried.
Lord Gu said, "The brothers of the two princesses will restrain you for your sake, and will not dare to embarrass him in public. He should be more cautious in private and follow mother closely, so that she can protect him."
Jiang Wen asked: "Where are Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er?"
Master Gu Liu hesitated and said, "...They are Qin Yuan's adopted son and adopted son."
Lord Gu and the Marquis hurried towards the Seventh Gate.
The princess's ceremonial procession was all inside the palace gate, which was quite convenient. The two of them got off the carriage and left with music playing.
The servant said mysteriously, "Everyone in the mansion knows that the smallpox was not caused by our mother. I'm afraid that Qin Yuan wanted to keep us, but it was Madam who was not good enough and drove the family out without hesitation."
Butler Cao was also thinking in his heart that before opening the government office, he would have a talk with the Crown Prince and the King of Qi.
The Ninth Princess had nothing to say.
Jiang Wenqiu: “…”
Princess Fuyun wiped her tears with a handkerchief, raised her head and spoke again.
The Marquis made no sound, but seemed to have no intention of doing so. He just looked at Master Gu Liu indifferently.
Lord Gu pulled the Marquis up, and the two of them sat down. Then he said, "Thank you two princesses for your concern. I have been in bad condition recently. Although the smallpox incident outside the mansion has not been a big deal, fortunately, with the help of my wife, I am getting better now."
I looked at the Marquis in surprise and guilt, and then asked, "We were staying in the lower room, why did we run in when the princess came?"
Young Master Cheng sighed and said, "It was your bad luck that you met a man like that, but you are grateful to your brother's benefactor. If it were me, my brother would have returned to Saibei. I don't know how to teach those two children to be bad."
The servant said, "In Saibei, I heard that the men are all very strong, and even pregnant women have to go to the battlefield to fight. Didn't Qin Yuan say that if Zhao wants to remarry, I am willing to give her a generous dowry? It is common for widows in Saibei to remarry into small families."
There followed another unspeakable silence.
Jiang Wenqi and the Marquis sent the seven people to the gate of the mansion and then stopped.
"Just what?"
Lord Gu immediately pulled Jiang Wen up, bowed to the two princesses, and said, "I am still in good condition. Thank you for your concern. The Marquis's Mansion will be open today, and I will report the smallpox incident to you then."
The two princesses are now in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, and something bad has happened.
Jiang Wenqiu frowned at Jiang Wen's words. I said, "He only entered the palace with his mother before. Without his mother, you guys can't get along with him."
The Marquis smiled and said something.
Emperor Lin is a good person, but the Empress Dowager is definitely not a good person either.
The Marquis asked helplessly, "What happened?"
Jiang Wenqiu snorted and said, "Myna's couple are really vulgar. You know how Zhao taught his children. Myna treats them like his darlings and thinks we are bad in every way."
The Marquis nodded.
The couple walked in silence for a while, and then they saw Gu Liuye coming over with a sweat on his forehead. He said, "Qin Yuan, Madam, the servants just stopped someone at the Seventh Gate."
Butler Cao frowned.
Lord Gu: "..."
Running inside at that time was too unruly and should be severely punished.
But Lord Gu didn't even look at her. He was only concerned with protecting Qin Yuan.
The two princesses sat for a cup of tea and then said goodbye and left.
Just as Butler Han ordered his men to seal the door again, Butler Cao asked, "Yuan'er, did he see anything?"
Young Master Cheng and the servant had not yet left the room, taking a breath inside. When they saw us rushing towards the Seventh Gate, they asked, "What happened?"
The Marquis also nodded in response.
Lord: “Hmm?”
The servant hurried over to inquire, and after a while he came back in high spirits, saying, "Gu Jinghui and Sister Yu wanted to see the princess, but were stopped at the Seventh Gate. Gu Jinghui went berserk and injured someone, so Qin Yuan and the Madam went over to see what was going on."
But when you get to the palace, you are in a strong position.
"I am also confused. Perhaps I am just a big kid and want to peek at the princess?"
Master Gu Liu said, "I have already ordered that if no one insists on breaking in, they should be tied up. They must not break through the seven gates and offend the princess. The servants dared to go too far, and I only stopped them and let them pass. Sister Yu was fine, but Gu Jinghui's beating was even more... fierce..."
Qin Yuan naturally wouldn't be annoying at this time, she just sat there quietly as a foil.
The fourth princess glanced at Princess Fuyun, her eyes and mouth unable to hide the sarcasm, and she said helplessly, "Butler Cao, please stand up and talk. Your first sister is just concerned about your safety, not asking on behalf of your father."
Princess Fuyun's face became even uglier, and tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably.
Butler Cao asked angrily, "Who is it?"
Steward Cao and the Marquis stood for a while, watching the princess leave, and then returned home.
For a moment, the pavilion was filled with awkward silence.
Master Gu Liu said: "The big guy dared to tie me up and embarrass me. Gu Jinghui injured a big guy, but he couldn't stop me."
The Marquis thought for a moment and said, "You see, the Emperor is satisfied that smallpox did not spread before the closure of the mansion. You are no longer a little bit upset about the memorial, but..."
Lord Gu took the Marquis's shoulders and said in distress, "Those two princesses are also weird. Yuan'er is bad in every way. Why do you like him?"
Jiang Wen said, "But you see that the two princesses seem to like you. When you followed him and mother into the palace a few days ago, were you made difficult?"
