Contract Prince

Xiao Muxue quickly cleaned up, and appeared in front of Gu Yunjing in a spirited state, no longer the lazy state when she just woke up.

Gu Yunjing thinks that the sixth princess still looks cute when she is sleeping, giving people a kind and easy feeling.

Walking on the forest road, Xiao Muxue said, "My son-in-law, there is something I need to talk to you about."

Gu Yunjing asked: "What's the matter? Please tell me, princess."

"Do you still remember the contract you and I signed on the wedding night?"

"remember."

Xiao Muxue nodded lightly, and continued: "Just remember. What I want to talk about today is the matter of the contract. According to the provisions of the contract, we need to maintain the relationship between husband and wife in front of others. Therefore, I hope that the son-in-law can fulfill the contract obligations in the future .”

Xiao Muxue didn't want to see Gu Yunjing and Shangguan Xiruo being intimate, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to stop her, so she could only use the name of the contract.

Gu Yunjing always felt that Xiao Muxue didn't like her, so in order not to offend the sixth princess, she always kept a certain distance from Xiao Muxue, regardless of her predecessors.The other party's proposal was far beyond her expectations.Although unexpected, it still brought Gu Yunjing a great surprise.

This meant that Xiao Muxue was willing to have too much intimate contact with her, Gu Yunjing secretly rejoiced in her heart.She smiled and said: "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness, Yun Jing will definitely remember it in the future."

Xiao Muxue nodded lightly, as if she was very satisfied with Gu Yunjing's attitude.The two quickly walked to the dining room, Yu Qingyou saw them coming, and hurriedly brought up the delicious food that had been cooked in the kitchen.

Gu Yunjing loves to eat dishes cooked by his mother-in-law, and the cooking skills of the chefs in Hou's mansion are also considered top-notch, but they are still much inferior to Yu Qingyou's cooking skills.

Two-thirds of the dishes on the table are her favorites, especially this steamed sea bass dish.

"People who come and go on the river love the beauty of perch." The delicious taste of perch has been passed down since ancient times.The sea bass in the stream of Wangyou Valley has a very pure taste, coupled with Yu Qingyou's superb cooking skills, this dish of steamed sea bass has always been Gu Yunjing's favorite.

Gu Yunjing smelled the familiar fragrance, and said intoxicatedly: "It's so fragrant, I haven't tasted Master's cooking skills for a long time, and I can finally have a good meal today."

Yu Qingyou said softly: "If you miss the dishes made by Master Mistress, you can eat them when you come back often. Today I specially made a table of dishes to cleanse you and the princess."

Gu Yunjing smiled: "I really hope to stay in Wangyou Valley for the rest of my life and eat the dishes cooked by my wife every day."

Shangguan Xiruo picked up Gu Yunjing's words and smiled all over his face, he almost died of happiness: "Okay, if you stay in Wangyou Valley, you can talk piano with Xiruo, play chess with daddy, and eat your mother's cooking. The dishes here are the best of all three.”

Shangguan Lan stared at my own daughter, coughed several times in a row, and signaled her to pay attention to her words.

Xiao Muxue was displeased when she heard the two of them singing together, she was very dissatisfied with Shangguan Xiruo's way of fighting for power.

Xiao Muxue thought for a while, looked at Shangguan Xiruo and said in a deep voice: "The son-in-law is not only the son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but also the son-in-law of the royal family. There are many things to do, how can he stay in Wangyou Valley to cultivate his health? What does sister Xiruo think?"

Gu Yunjing knew the intention of Xiao Muxue's words, she lowered her eyes slightly, but smiled without saying a word.She put a piece of fat fish into the princess's bowl, picked out the fishbone, and said slowly: "Your Highness, taste it, this piece of fish is the fattest."

Xiao Muxue intentionally put on an affectionate look in front of Shangguan Xiruo, she said affectionately to the son-in-law: "The son-in-law really knows how to be considerate to me. If you have a husband like this, what do you want in life?"

During this meal, Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue ate very "lovely", and the two kept adding vegetables to their respective bowls.Not knowing their opponents at all, Lu Zhong was worrying about the 100 million taels of silver bill at the moment.

After Lu Zhong came back from Concubine Qu's house, he was in a terrible mood, and he often threw things in the mansion, and he started to "act as a demon" in the study again.

"My lord, don't drop it anymore, this is the precious crystal bottle bestowed by the emperor." The servants of Duke Ning's mansion begged at the side.If the precious crystal vase falls, the Lord of the Kingdom will definitely punish the servants first, so why didn't they stop the Lord.

As soon as he heard that it was a gift from the emperor, Lu Zhong really stopped.The boys took the bottle from Lu Zhong's hand in fear.

Lu Zhong held a bad breath in his heart, if he didn't come out, he would probably be suffocated to death immediately.This tone has been released for a whole day and has not finished.Seeing that the bottle given by the emperor was taken down by the attendant, Lu Zhong was about to pick up the inkstone and smash it.

"My lord, this inkstone should not be smashed. It is the Duanfang inkstone bestowed by His Majesty. If you smash it, the master will not be able to explain it." Another boy begged for mercy.

This can't be smashed, and that can't be smashed!The anger in Lu Zhong's eyes was about to turn into a blazing flame. He kicked the servants several times and cursed: "Get out!"

At this time, Yu Liang, Lu Zhong's right-hand assistant, walked in.Seeing the state of distress in the room, Yu Liang sent the other servants away, closed the door, and immediately stepped forward to comfort Lu Zhong.

"My lord, calm down."

Lu Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Calm down the anger? Can this anger be calmed down? One million taels, where do you want me to raise it? Concubine Qu. The bastard lion speaks loudly, just wait, I will definitely make her life worse than death." of!"

Yu Liang suggested: "My lord, the most important thing right now is to stabilize Concubine Qu, and you must not tear yourself apart with her. Otherwise, if the story of framing Tao Ce reaches the emperor's ears, then the Duke of Ning's mansion will be the real one." I couldn't eat and walked away."

Lu Zhong knew the consequences of this better than Yu Liang, and his angry tone was filled with deep helplessness: "I also know that what you said is reasonable, but where can I find 100 million taels?"

"Although my cousin is the Minister of the Household Department, according to his temper, he may not lend me Kuyin." Lu Zhong's words are true. And the exact opposite in dealing with people.

Lu Zhong is lustful, sinister and vicious, Deng Kuan is upright, impartial and selfless, and never shows affection.Except for the related relationship mentioned above, the two usually have no contact with each other.

Therefore, Lu Zhong was really not sure whether Deng Kuan would help him.

Yu Liang always had a good brain, but now Lu Zhong was running around like a headless fly, unable to come up with an idea.Therefore, the prince of the state pinned all his hopes on Yu Liang.

Lu Zhong said anxiously: "Yu Liang, give me an idea, what should I do?"

While comforting Lu Zhong, Yu Liang said, "My lord, don't worry, there are ways."

Lu Zhong looked at Yu Liang as if looking at a life-saving straw, and said happily, "What can I do?"

Yu Liang spoke eloquently, with a sneer flashing in the corner of his eyes: "We still have to start with Mr. Deng Kuan. He refuses to make a clear loan, so we will make a secret loan. The Ministry is in charge of the treasury, and these treasuries are sealed The ones in the warehouse are not useful for the time being anyway. Let’s borrow 100 million first, as long as there is no leak, no one will be able to find out.”

"After the usury in the gambling house is recovered, we will find a way to return Kuyin. What do you think of it?"

Lu Zhong's eyes lit up, and he had to admit that Yu Liang's idea was very good.Good is good, but what kind of secret borrowing method?Lu Zhong asked: "How to borrow secretly?"

Yu Liang said his plan unhurriedly: "First get the key to the warehouse secretly from Deng Kuan, and then we will take the bank notes from the warehouse."

"The imperial court stipulates that unless there are special circumstances, officials are not allowed to open the warehouse privately. As long as we do it perfectly, Deng Kuan will never know. When we inspect the warehouse at the end of the year, we only need to put the bank notes Just fill it up."

Lu Zhong applauded: "Good idea."You are worthy of being my living military advisor. "

Yu Liang said with a smile: "It is my responsibility to solve the son's worries and problems. His eyebrows suddenly became heavy, "By the way, there is one more thing, I need to remind the son.I know you hate Qu Feiqing, but this is a ruthless character, so you must not fight her hard. "

"We might as well follow this woman first. After working with her for a long time, we will naturally find out her details, and it will not be too late to deal with her at that time. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

"What you say makes sense, so it's up to you." Lu Zhong said without hesitation.He felt that he didn't need to think at all, because Yu Liang's loyalty and wisdom were enough to bear his trust.

Yu Liang continued: "Recently, I sent someone to monitor Zhenyuan Hou's mansion. According to reports from the spies, Gu Yunjing took several servants out and has not returned yet. I don't know exactly what he is doing, but I can be sure that Gu Yunjing will do it. The matter is related to saving Tao Ce."

"Although Gu Yunjing looks thin and weak, I feel that this son-in-law is not simple. Young Master, you should be more careful when facing him."

To this day, Lu Zhong still doesn't take Gu Yunjing seriously.He hated Gu Yunjing, and at the same time looked down on this powerless person.Lu Zhong is tall, proficient in martial arts, how can Gu Yunjing, who looks like a sick child, make him like him?

Lu Zhong said disdainfully: "It's just a mere Gu Yunjing, what's the point of it. This time he didn't ruin his reputation, he is lucky." Lu Zhong's mouth hung a piercing smile, "But next time he won't be so good You're lucky. Since you dare to take away my sixth princess, Gu Yunjing must pay the price!"

Yu Liang shook his head and said, "My lord, you must never underestimate the enemy, be careful when sailing for thousands of years."

Lu Zhong didn't want to hear about Gu Yunjing, so he waved his hand to signal the other party to stop talking.Yu Liang sighed, hesitant to speak, but he still didn't try to persuade Lu Zhong again.

"The next thing we have to consider is how to get the key to the warehouse from my cousin without anyone noticing. If there is, buy him a drink, then get him drunk and steal the key." Speaking of Yu Liang, Lu Zhong's thinking is relatively simple, and the good ideas in his mind are nothing more than sex, seduction, and drinking.

"Since you want to be invisible, of course you can't let the young master come forward. In this way, even if things are exposed in the future, he won't be able to suspect you no matter what."

"Deng Kuan has always loved the people like a son. Why don't we take advantage of this? After tomorrow, I will arrange a good show for him."
