Chapter 183: Token of love

"Why would the princess give you a box of books? Is it possible that the princess thinks you are not well-behaved?"
As soon as Lin Nei's attendant left, Xie's tongue recovered.
Gu Jiu looked calm and said, "I don't know."
"Then quickly open it and see what books they are."
Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, "If my wife has nothing else, I will go back to the room to read."
Xie was angry and patted the table, "I asked you to open the box to see what books are inside. Didn't you hear?"
Gu Jiu looked at Xie with a half-smile, "Madam, this is a gift from the princess, so I should dispose of it myself."
"You're turning back. I don't have my aunt in your eyes?"
Xie pointed at Gu Jiu's nose and cursed.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "As an aunt, my wife should look like an aunt at any rate. She always scolds and scolds. People who don't know the inside story will think that you and I are enemies."
"presumptuous!"
"I don't dare to be presumptuous, but just make sense. Auntie, thank you for your help to greet Lin Neiyi today, and my niece will leave first."
Mrs. Zhang nodded slightly, "Go."
Gu Jiu took the blessing and left the flower hall with the box in his arms.
Xie's expression was distorted with anger, "You stop for me. I didn't let you go, so dare you go?"
Gu Jiuquan left without hearing what Xie said.
Xie hurriedly shouted: "Stop her, stop her. It's lawless. Have you learned the rules in the dog's belly?"
The people looked at each other, but no one moved.
The second girl is going to marry the emperor's grandson in the future, how can she offend her casually. Mrs. confused.
After such a delay, Gu Jiu had already walked far away, and no one could be seen.
Xie's anger turned upside down, pointing to Chunhe's nose and cursing, "Dare you not even listen to what this lady said?"
"Mrs. Anger! After all, it was a gift from the princess to the second girl. How dare the slave and maid do it at will? Didn't it offend the princess and empress?
"fart!"
Xie scolded.
The eldest wife Zhang looked relaxed, "Brother sister, you have been losing your temper more and more recently, do you want to invite a doctor to show you. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will get old quickly."
Xie choked.
Hastily raised his hand to touch his cheek, "Am I old?"
The eldest wife Zhang looked at Xie with a faint smile, "If this continues, you seem to be more than seventeen or eighteen years older than Aunt Bai."
"How could I be seventeen or eighteen years older than Aunt Bai. Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense."
Xie's face changed slightly, and he tried his best to refute Zhang's words. I feel uneasy and nervous again. Does she really look older?
The eldest wife Zhang said: "At our age, people who lose their temper have physical problems. They are irritable, age more easily than others, and have many physical problems.
On the other hand, those with a temperate temperament and thoughtfulness look at least seven or eight years younger than their peers.
If your younger siblings don’t want to age prematurely, and if they look older than your second younger brother, it’s best to restrain your temper, smile more and soothe your mood. "
Xie's opened his mouth and said softly: "Sister-in-law has misunderstood. I don't like to lose my temper much.
The eldest wife Zhang's lips pursed and smiled, "Since Aunt Bai gave birth to a son, the younger brothers and sisters count by themselves, how many times have you lost your temper. Seeing who is not pleasing to your eyes, you have to curse a few words when you see them. Isn't this a temper? Beware of liver disease."
"you……"
Xie was about to get angry again, remembering what Zhang had just said, tolerated and restrained his temper.
"My sister-in-law is right to remind me. I'm so angry that I will lose my temper in the future."
The eldest wife Zhang nodded with a smile, "I'm relieved if my younger siblings can figure it out."
Gu Jiu returned to Zhilan Academy and put the box on the desk, but was not in a hurry to open it.
Qing Zhu asked: "Won't the girl open it for a look?"
Xiao Cui murmured, "The wife is too much. She wants to take a look at the gift that the princess gave to the girl. And she always yells at the girl. If the girl is not her own, she can do whatever she wants."
Qingmei said, "My wife has been unhappy because Aunt Bai gave birth to a son."
Xiao Cui snorted, "My wife is angry and sends it to Aunt Bai. Why is it directed at the girl. Fortunately, the girl has a tough temper, otherwise she will have to be tortured to death by her wife."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Don't discuss your wife. She's menopause, and it's not pleasing to anyone."
Several maids were stunned.
Ome asked, "Girl, what is menopause?"
"It's just that a woman gets older, her little days are almost gone, and her body changes with it. During that time, she will become moody and her temper is unpredictable. Commonly known as menopause."
"Ah? My wife is only in her forties. Why is it so early?" Xiao Cui said straightforwardly.
Gu Jiu smiled, and said, "Some people are early and some are late, and the duration ranges from months to years. My wife is already irritable, so it's not unexpected early."
"I didn't expect irritable people to have this disadvantage."
The few maids seemed to have not opened the door to a new world.
Gu Jiu sat on the chair and said, "Have you not noticed that my wife's face has been sallow recently, and she looks more haggard than during the Spring Festival."
Qingmei said: "When the girl said this, the slave and maid remembered. Seeing my wife today, it is true that she is in good spirits during the Spring Festival days, and she looks tired."
Gu Jiu snorted, "She just can't think of it, she finds her own sins."
It stands to reason that the Xie family already had two sons. Even if Aunt Bai gave birth to a son, she would not be threatened.
As a result, Xie was sulking all day long, and Aunt Bai's fur was not damaged, but she made herself angry.
After all, Xie deserves it.
Since I can't accommodate Aunt Bai, I should be a little bit more in the beginning and don't let Aunt Bai come in.
While pretending to be generous, Aunt Bai was allowed to enter the door. It's not too tiring to make a lot of noise all day while playing various small movements.
Gu Jiu thought to her heart that she would definitely not let Liu Zhao take a concubine when she married Liu Zhao in the future.
If Liu Zhao doesn't respect her opinion, he must accept a concubine.
Haha, things are simple.
After she gave birth to her son and had an heir, she kicked Liu Zhao out.
It doesn't matter whether Liu Zhao is dead or alive. As long as there is a son in the palace, she must hold it in her hands and give it to her son.
As for Liu Zhao, it is best to die. Didn't die, roll as far as possible.
Gu Jiu really understood.
If marriage cannot be chosen by herself, she will do her best to live a good life.
Man, it's just an extra leg, she is not rare.
After completing the task, the man can get out.
Of course, Gu Jiu couldn't say these words. Too frightening, afraid to scare people.
At the moment, Liu Zhao, who was in the palace face, suddenly felt itchy nose.
He pinched his nose secretly, could it be that someone was scolding him behind his back.
Don't think about it, it must be Gu Jiu.
Liu Zhao frowned slightly, what else was Gu Jiu scolding secretly?
Too presumptuous.
It seems that he has to advance the date of the wedding, marry Gu Jiu in the door earlier, and teach her how to make a husband.
In the Zhilan courtyard, Gu Jiu opened the peach wooden box, and there were several sub-collections of Scriptures inside.
Gu Jiu let out a little strange.
How could the princess send someone to give books to the Scripture Collection? Shouldn't we give away books such as "Nv Ze"?
Gu Jiu flipped through the books and found something was wrong.
The box is a bit deep, but only three or four books fill the box. This is unreasonable.
She looked inside and out and took out all the books. As expected, there was a hidden compartment in this mahogany box.
Carefully open the secret compartment, inside it lies a dagger inlaid with various jewels.
"Wow……"
When several maids saw the dagger, they all cried.
What a precious dagger.
No, no, it should be said that it is a precious piece of jewelry.
The handle of the dagger is inlaid with emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and amethysts.
The scabbard is also inlaid with gems of various colors.
Regardless of the value of the dagger, the gems of various colors are already worth a thousand gold.
Gu Jiu pulled out the dagger, the dagger dull and dull. At a glance, it does not seem to be worthy of such luxurious decoration.
She raised the dagger, thought for a moment, and slashed it lightly at the corner of the table.
A corner of the table fell to the ground all at once.
What a sharp dagger. Gu Jiu ordered a snack.
"Take a hair."
Qiaomei pulled two hairs off her head and entangled them together, "Girl, come and try."
Gu Jiu nodded, waved his dagger, and his hair broke.
"Wow……"
Several maids exclaimed again.
"This dagger is too sharp. I'm afraid there is nothing that this dagger keeps cutting."
Gu Jiu laughed, in a good mood, "Go get a stone, and I will try again if this dagger can chop off the stone."
Wang Yi said first: "The slave and maidservant go to move the stone."
"Move small rocks, not big rocks."
Gu Jiu was afraid that Wang Yi would go to the garden and bring a huge stone.
Soon, Wang Yi returned with the stone.
The stone is the size of two slaps and is quite heavy.
Wang Yi put the stone on the ground.
Gu Jiu was eager to try, raising the dagger, and slashing down hard.
With a crunch, the stone split in half.
Wow!
There was another wave of exclamation.
"Blowing hair and breaking hair, this dagger is really sharp."
Gu Jiu was overjoyed and loved this gem-encrusted dagger.
Qing Zhu said suddenly: "Why would the princess give the girl a dagger?"
Yes? How could the princess give such a gift to her own girl.
Gu Jiu laughed and said, "This gift was not given by the princess, but it was given in the name of the princess. This gift was given by the emperor."
"Ah? This is actually a gift from the edict to the girl?"
"Is this a token of love given to the girl by the son?"
"Gongzizhao is so strange. Other gifts from the girl's house are all jewelry. Gongzizhao directly sent a dagger over. Does he want the girl to kill someone with a dagger?"
Gu Jiu laughed, and said with curving eyes, "I like this gift. If you give me jewelry alone, I will be happy for an instant. How can I compare to this dagger?"
After that, Gu Jiu thought to himself that Liu Zhao was really good at trying to figure out people's hearts.
He must have thought that he would like this gift, so he sent someone Lin Nei waiter to send it.
I don't know how Liu Zhao could see that she would like this dagger.
Ome nodded, "It can be seen that the girl really likes this gift."
Gu Jiu played with a dagger, looking like he couldn't put it down.
"Unexpectedly, Gongzi Zhao would send this gift in the name of the princess."
"Fortunately, the girl didn't listen to her wife when she was in Hua Ting. If she opened the box in front of her, the dagger might not be able to hide."
Several maids were talking babbledly.
Gu Jiu sat down at the desk and thought for a while whether she should be courteous and send a letter back to Liu Zhao.
It’s just that it’s easy to write letters, but difficult to deliver.
She was not sure that her letter could be delivered to Liu Zhao smoothly. Worried that when they arrived at the gate of the palace, the letter turned a corner and reached the hand of the princess.
After thinking about it, Gu Jiu finally gave up the idea of ​​writing a letter.
When I have a chance to see Liu Zhao in the future, it is not too late to say thank you in front of him.
Liu Zhao left the palace and returned to the palace.
He went back to the east courtyard first, saw Lin Shuping, and asked, "Did the things be delivered?"
"Return to the son, the gift has been personally delivered to Girl Gu."
Liu Zhao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does she like it?"
Lin Shuping embarrassed how to answer this question.
Let's be honest.
He bowed and said: "In the presence of the two wives of the Gu mansion, Miss Gu did not open the wooden box. But I think she should like it."
Liu Zhao frowned, "So you didn't tell her, there is something else in the wooden box?"
Lin Shuping suddenly became nervous, "Miss Gu is so smart, she will definitely discover the secrets in the wooden box."
Liu Zhao snorted, noncommittal.
Lin Shuping blamed himself for not being able to do things well, and for failing to figure out the true intentions of the son.
Liu Zhao was silent for a while and asked, "Where is the prince?"
Lin Shuping bowed and replied: "The prince will be listening to the small song in Tourmaline Pavilion.
Liu Zhao immediately took someone to the Tourmaline Pavilion.
As soon as I passed through the moon cave gate, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, accompanied by the magnificent sound of women singing small songs.
Liu Zhao frowned slightly, his emotions averted in a blink of an eye, and walked in blankly.
In the luxuriously furnished hall, dancers are dressed in tulle dresses, with graceful figures and dancing.
The two singers were sitting on the side, singing the lavish sound.
Behind is a row of musicians with various musical instruments in front of them.
Liu Zhao stood at the gate of the hall and did not go in.
Upon seeing this, the servant hurried forward to report to Lord Ning.
"Prince, the eldest son is here."
After speaking, he pointed to the gate.
Lord Ning opened his eyes and looked at the gate, "Oh, the boss is here, come in."
Liu Zhao sternly walked into the hall.
The dancers hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to block the way of the grandmaster. The two singers also stopped singing, and the musician stopped playing the instrument.
"Don't stop, go on! This king is in the mood, whoever dares to stop, this king will punish anyone."
Ning Wang shouted at everyone, looking upset.
The singer, the dancer, the musician, everyone looked at each other.
It's very difficult to be caught between the prince and the eldest son.
But the prince in the mansion is the biggest, so naturally he listens to the prince.
Ever since, the sound of silk and bamboo played again, the singers sang and the dancers danced. A scene of singing and dancing.
Liu Zhao stepped forward with no expression on his face, bowed and said, "The son has seen the father."
"Sit down and enjoy with this king."
"My son has something important to report."
"No matter what, I'll talk about it later. This king is now in his head, not thinking about listening to the affairs of the court."
Liu Zhao's face was pale, he sat down on the chair, his eyes first fell on the faces of the two singers.
The two singers were persecuted by Liu Zhao's eyes, and the little tunes were sung to a halt.
Hey, the eldest son's eyes are so scary.
The dancers couldn't keep jumping, because the son Zhao looked at them.
That look is to eat people.
The singer and the dancer are in a mess, and the musician can't play well.
Listening to the sloppy singing and watching the dancers who are acting in a mess, King Ning was furious.
"Go on roll, get out of it all."
The singer, the dancer, and the musician, as if they were amnesty, hurriedly retired.
As soon as people walked away, the huge hall seemed particularly empty.
King Ning was very upset and stared at Liu Zhao dissatisfied.
"What is your sin for ruining the king's interest?"
Liu Zhao said blankly: "In the court today, the emperor's grandfather promoted Xue Gui to the post of Zhongshu servant."
When Ning Wang heard this, he immediately cursed, "Is the old man confused? He even promoted Xue Gui's inexperienced to become the middle school assistant."
The old man in King Ning's mouth naturally refers to the emperor.
Liu Zhao continued: "The imperial grandfather's move, the son ventured to guess that it was deliberately targeting the East Palace.
King Ning raised his eyebrows, "How can I see it."
"Have you forgotten your father? The current Shang Shu Zuo Pu shoots at Master Xu. He is the elder brother of the same clan of Prince Zhan Shi and Master Xu. The purpose of naming Xue Gui as the servant of Zhongshu is to restrain Shangshu Province."
King Ning laughed, "Although the old man can't choose people, he still does a good job."
Liu Zhao frowned, "Father, I invite you to participate in politics tomorrow."
"The king is not going. I will definitely be scolded by the old man when I go."
Liu Zhao's eyebrows twitched, "Uncle Zhao Wang and Uncle Wang Yan are very active in the government."
King Ning snorted and stared at Liu Zhao, "Do you want to be the prince so impatient?"
This is the words of Zhu Xin.
