Chapter 221 Gongs and Drums
The atmosphere in the luxurious and low-key hall of Pingyang Hou Mansion is a bit dull.
Above the first place, Pingyang Houfu's complexion sat down, and a sound of footsteps, accompanied by the sound of crutches, interrupted Pingyang Hou's contemplation. He hurriedly stood up, and the old lady had walked in with the help of Mrs. Zhong.
"What do you think?" the old lady asked straightforwardly.
Pingyanghou waited for the old lady to sit down, and then stood at the lower end and slowly said, "We underestimated her..."
At a young age, her unremarkable appearance, and her humble family background, no one would ignore her in this situation. More importantly, according to the description of Princess Baiyu, she was low-key and humble in a few short encounters. The arrogant who suddenly jumped to the branch at the slightest, but did not expect that he would suddenly get into trouble, and as soon as he shot it, he gave them a resounding slap.
"Sure enough, it was cunning..." Mrs. Zhong couldn't help muttering, "This time I was careless..."
A gleam of cold flashed in the old lady's eyes.
"This kind of person, if you let Yanyan lower your head in front of her this time, you will never want to suppress her in this life, and you will always lower her head in momentum, even if you become a queen in the future..." Madam Zhong said softly, "This The girl must understand this, that's why..."
"What do you think?" The old lady asked Pingyanghou again.
"Let Yanyan apologize to her, it is absolutely impossible..." Pingyang Hou said lightly, without the anger and excitement of the previous few days, but rather calm.
"Of course." The old lady nodded, "There is no doubt about this..."
"I think now..." Pingyanghou's eyes flickered slightly, and his voice was a little bit chill, "Where did she come from such a confident..."
The room was slightly silent, and the old lady's expression was a little serious.
"You mean..." she whispered, "someone told her to do this...?"
Ping Yanghou nodded lightly, "Otherwise, I can't think of her courage to the end..."
"Grandma..." footsteps sounded outside the door, accompanied by Princess Baiyu's crying voice, she rushed in from the door, seeing her father there, resisting the urge to plunge into the arms of the old lady, behavely "Father..."
She was wearing formal clothes, her eye circles were red, her complexion slightly damp, she didn't know if it was because of excitement or walking too fast, and there was faint sweat on her forehead and nose.
"Who told you to go out?" Pingyang Houfu shouted, "Is it too much trouble."
Princess Baiyu was reprimanded, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She hid her face and shouted, but because of choking, she couldn't hear her clearly.
"What?" Pingyanghou asked quietly.
"What are you shouting, we Yanyan is obviously caught in the trap this time... Yanyan is a straight-natured..." The old lady glared at her son and waved at Bai Yu with a bit of affection, "Come here to grandma..."
Princess Baiyu cried and rushed over, snuggling in her arms and crying.
"What's the matter?" The old lady asked, stroking her head, calming her head. "Don't worry, don't pay attention to that cheap maid, no matter how high the grasshopper jumps, it won't be just a fall..."
"Grandma, that cheap maidservant, cheap maid...will be named a good maid!" Princess Baiyu raised his head and gritted his teeth and shouted.
All three people in the room were taken aback.
"What did you say?" the old lady asked.
"I...I just wanted to go out..." Princess Baiyu said with sobbing, "...I'm going to see the queen and the empress dowager...I haven't seen...I met Mrs. Wu..."
Mrs. Wu is one of the powerful people around the empress dowager and has the best relationship with their family.
"What did she say?" the old lady couldn't help but asked tightly.
"She said that the queen mother will make that low-handed maid a good divine..." Princess Baiyu bit her lips for bleeding, and said every word.
"What?" The news was unexpected to the three people in the house, and couldn't help being surprised.
Liangdi, that's not an ordinary concubine...
The expressions of the three of them changed, and there was a storm in their hearts. At this time, when this incident occurred, they even had to give the woman such a reward...
"I'll go into the palace..." The old lady stood up.
"Then you will have a mother..." Pingyanghou nodded and said, "My son also went to see the prince..."
After a while, Princess Baiyu was left in the room. She was slightly startled, looking at the empty hall, she couldn't help but shiver.
Things seem to have become a little different...
"Although your life and life have nothing to do with me..." Gu Yu looked at Gu Shiba Niang who had just come out of the gun pharmacy, and said, "However, for the sake of our acquaintances, I still have to tell you... "
"Thank you brother..." Gu Shiba Niang put down her rolled up sleeves and smiled.
"Your brother is outside..." Gu Yu stretched out his finger and waved at her. "If you think that someone is there to protect you, you are not afraid of everything, but you are wrong..."
The person he was talking about naturally meant the prince. Gu Shiba Niang understood that she smiled and said nothing.
"...Pingyang Hou Mansion is a hornet's nest, touch it lightly, you can scare them, but if you really intend to poke..." Gu Yu continued, "The result, but..."
The hornet is pouring out, and will never be merciful when dealing with threatening enemies. Once you are really moved, you will lose your life, and it will not be a problem to ruin you. At this time, even if the prince is willing to protect you, I am afraid that it will be powerless. Back to the days.
Gu Shiba Niang raised her head, looked at him with a smile, and handed him a wrapped box.
"Here are some of the pills you want..." she said.
Gu Yu took it, threw it in his hand, looked at her, his eyes narrowed: "You don't... don't want to enter the palace."
Gu Shiba Niang smiled, and did not answer his words directly, but slowly said: "I know, that kind of people are not something I can provoke... However, there are some things in this world that I have to do... Okay..."
"It's really stupid, it's like your brother..." Gu Yu snorted, "In this world, protecting yourself is always more important than destroying the enemy... Don't put a good future ahead, you have to feed the tiger..."
"I just want to protect myself, that's why I went to stab this hornet's nest..." Gu Shiba Niang smiled slightly and stood up, "Since this hornet's nest can't go around, I would rather take the initiative to greet them than to forsake them... "
Gu Yu snorted and smiled, did not speak any more, watching the girl's delicate face flashed a fierce fierceness, suddenly felt that it might not be certain who was a hornet's nest.
When night fell, mother and child sat together again in the hall of Pingyang Houfu.
"That's it..." Pingyanghou said slowly, although his face was still calm, but holding the teacup tightly in his hands revealed his uneasy heart, "Being kind to the prince..."
"So, let alone Liangdi, even in the East Palace, she would never want to enter in this life." The old lady shook her head and said lightly, "The prince can love appearances, appreciate talents, and cage ministers to these women in the palace... Just don’t remember..."
The emperor’s love is thin, and he loves it for a while, the iron court, the beauty of the flowing water, for the high-ranking concubine, you can ignore it, but only true affection is a threat, especially when the prince was born in childhood and was a teenager. The feelings of love will not fade with time, but will become stronger and stronger.
For this potential danger, we must destroy it before it takes shape, otherwise, we will regret it in the future. This belief is that they have been taught and remembered repeatedly since childhood.
..."Originally, I planned to look at the prince’s face and sell her face..." the old lady said in a deep voice, "but now..."
"He is just a prince. No matter how great his face is, his majesty..." Ping Yanghou interrupted, his voice with a hint of chill.
"I see the Queen Mother means to be with the mud..." The old lady sighed slightly, disappointed.
"I said, where is that girl's hard temper, it turns out that this girl is supporting her back..." Ping Yanghou said slowly, with a slight sarcasm in his voice, "This is not yet..."
The old lady coughed heavily, interrupted Pingyanghou, and cast him warning eyes.
"...I'm going to unload the mill and kill the donkey..." Ping Yanghou muttered in a low voice, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that the prince has a lot of righteousness to that woman, and I am afraid that she will be wronged in the future. This is deliberately set up to give us Yanyan a good deal..." the old lady said quietly.
Hou Pingyang snorted coldly, "In this Zhou Dynasty, there is really no one else but the emperor who can disarm our family!"
The old lady's expression was a bit gloomy, and she sighed softly, "Why did he do this? Is it worth it for that woman? Remember the love of that woman, can we forget what our family has to him..."
"I think he just remembers that we have too much family love!" Pingyang Hou said with a face.
There was silence in the room.
"Then what do you say? Since he meant it..." the old lady asked slowly, "or else..."
"Don't think about it!" Pingyang Hou said coldly, "If Yanyan bowed her head to admit that she was wrong, it would be my Pingyang Houfu who bowed her head and confessed! My Pingyang Houfu hasn't reached the point where people can be bullied like this~EbookFREE.me~not only Yanyan can't admit her mistakes, and I want that cheap maid to walk around! Let them lift a rock and hit her in the foot!"
"What are you going to do?" the old lady asked.
Hou Ping Pingyang breathed for a moment, his voice softened, and he said faintly: "How to do it? Just do what you should do. This Great Zhou Dynasty belongs to only one person, and only one person can say that life is honor or disgrace. This person is now Not yet him..."
After speaking, he stood with his hands in his hands and called out.
"Master Hou..." Immediately, a small servant came in and stood upright.
"How are things prepared?" Pingyanghou asked.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, everything is ready. Several people even wrote down the confession, and they all signed it..." Xiao Si replied immediately.
"Very good." Pingyang Hou nodded, with a somewhat mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, "Since I have eaten Leopard and want to play big with our Pingyang Hou Mansion, then I will play with you, toast and not eat fine wine, Yang Since you don’t go off the road, then I will send you to hell
