The son-in-law is a thief

Under the tea machine is Zhaoyang's tightly clenched hand, she tightly grasps the silk on her leg, the fine material is also crumpled and deformed.But Zhaoyang on top of the tea machine still had a warm face. The eldest princess of the Great Zhou Empire, the jewel in the palm of Emperor Guangxiao, was now despised by mere pirates.Originally thought that Du Yong had been contributing to this matter, Zhao Yang did not expect that when Gu Ruyang changed his face, Du Yong changed accordingly, Zhao Yang actually underestimated this master.

"Bold pirate! How dare you act presumptuously in front of the princess!" Huo Qishan who was standing at the door suddenly shouted, his face flushed with anger, as if he had also been greatly insulted.

Gu Ruyang also stood up, she brushed off her clothes with both hands, raised her beautiful eyebrows and snorted arrogantly.

"What a princess of Dazhou!" Gu Ruyang stepped on the tea machine: "But don't forget that this is not your Dazhou's palace, this is Wanshigang, there is no emperor in Wanshigang, there is only one head, and that is me ——Gu Ruyang!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Du Yong became nervous, Huo Qishan pulled out the knife on his waist, Qianniuwei, who had been lurking in Pinglan Courtyard, also came out one after another, Fengjian Fengdi hurriedly stood in front of Gu Zhaoyang to protect him Master, the atmosphere is tense for a while.

"Princess think twice." Du Yong was still sitting on the table unmoved, and he was still amiable when facing Zhaoyang. Yes, and the conditions of the imperial court are not conducive to the Gu family, such terms are not fair!

"Retire." Zhao Yang said to Huo Qishan outside the door, seeing that he was still hesitating, Zhao Yang lowered his face again: "General Huo, I want you to retreat."

"Yes!" Huo Qishan evacuated the soldiers, put the knife back into its sheath, but still gritted his teeth.

Huandan Fengjian and Fengdi also retreated, without the obstacles in front of them, Zhaoyang's eyes met Gu Ruyang's again, neither of them retreated.

"Please think again, son-in-law." Zhaoyang said, his voice was neither humble nor overbearing, but the three characters of the head of the family became son-in-law again.

Du Yong could see what Zhaoyang was thinking, and I'm afraid she was also in a dilemma.These conditions should be set by the imperial court. Chen Qingchuan seems to have lost a bit, but what he got was the emperor's favorite. This is already the biggest concession of the imperial court. If he can give birth to an heir in the future, he will have even greater bargaining chips.At the same time, Du Yong guessed that Zhaoyang might not want to tear herself apart with Gu Ruyang, she was willing to put down her figure and marry over, so she was determined to take down Wanshigang, so maybe everything still needs to be discussed.

"The son-in-law and the princess should live in peace and harmony." Du Yong said leisurely, following the word Fu Ma, what he wanted was harmony and harmony, at least not to have any turmoil with the royal family for a year or two.

"Such a son-in-law, it doesn't matter." Gu Ruyang turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and since he didn't look at Zhaoyang or Du Yong, he left alone.

Bamboo leaves rustled, the canal water murmured, and for a while, no one in Pinglan courtyard spoke except for the sound of wind and water.

"Sir, drink tea." Zhaoyang was the first to break the deadlock.

Du Yong didn't take the tea this time, but said directly: "Princess Mingjian, my Gu family and the Da Zhou royal family are evenly matched in Taiping Island. If Your Majesty sincerely wants to cooperate with my Gu family, you can't do anything like a long snake swallowing an elephant."

"Mr. Xie reminded." Zhaoyang said.

"It's getting late, and Gu has also left. My Gu family really wants to advance and retreat with the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can your majesty ask the princess to do something again?"

Zhaoyang nodded, signaled Feng Jiandao: "See off the guests."

The visitor brought some disturbances, the guest went to Pinglan Courtyard and it was as peaceful as ever, Feng Di asked the servants to pack up the tea machine, Huo Qishan also concealed his flag and went back to the other courtyard, Feng Jian wanted to comfort Zhaoyang , but I thought I couldn't relieve the master's worries, so I picked up a round fan to relieve Zhaoyang from the cool.

This is really a headache for the princess, but she didn't expect that she lost three points in the first face-to-face confrontation.In fact, if they marry Chen Qingchuan smoothly, then it is not too much for Emperor Guangxiao to make these demands. After all, if they have children in the future, it will be their own business, but Gu Ruyang is different. There will be no common interests. Even if we can temporarily reach an agreement now, we will definitely part ways in the end.

In the current situation, how can the two sides not be enemies of each other, and how can they reach an agreement?This is a problem for Zhaoyang.Fengdi sent Zhaoyang a bowl of calming soup, and Zhaoyang asked her to use a pen and paper, but several pieces of paper were wasted when writing notes, and Zhaoyang vaguely found some clues. It can be regarded as a way.

So Zhaoyang edited another letter and asked Huo Qishan's confidants to send the letter to Niangui City in the south of the island.It basically means that the situation has changed, so that Emperor Guangxiao lowered the bargaining chip in the transaction, so that everything will be safe and don't worry.

After Nian Guicheng sent a reply, two days later, Emperor Guangxiao naturally agreed to Zhaoyang's request, and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty also knew that they could not fight against the Gu family, or they would suffer from the enemy, and they might not be able to survive their cultivation. All matters were handed over to Zhaoyang to take care of them, and two hundred Huben warriors were dispatched to the county government of Fei County where Wanshigang was located for Zhaoyang's dispatch.

Zhaoyang naturally had plans in his mind. The last time he had a small gathering with Gu Ruyang at the Pinglan Courtyard, he was afraid that neither of them would leave a good impression on the other. It would be difficult to talk with Gu Ruyang calmly, but Zhaoyang knew that The current situation cannot sit still, she must see each other again.

Now Du Yong is the only one who is willing to help her to deal with it again. The hearts of the people on the boat are towards Gu Ruyang, and they think the same thing as this head Gu. A military adviser named Du explained his intentions, and the other party was naturally very happy. Since Emperor Guangxiao's conditions have been lowered a lot, it will be beneficial to the Gu family, and Du Yong is naturally willing to facilitate the negotiation between Gu Ruyang and Zhaoyang again.

Complimenting with Du Yong, it was already too late to knock down and return to the mansion. Recently, Zhaoyang was also a little tired after contacting the court and taking care of the relationship here, but when he walked to the gate of Pinglan courtyard, he heard a familiar voice The voice shouted at her.

"Sister!"

The boy who spoke was her younger brother Qin Huan'an. The boy was only 14 years old. He was wearing a purple forehead with a blue gem inlaid on it. There are dragon patterns embroidered on both sleeves, a Longquan sword pinned to his waist, and a pair of exquisite boots. He looks very noble, he is really a young man of the Qin family.

"Your Highness, don't run!" A nanny behind the boy shouted as she ran.

"You can slow down." Zhaoyang said, she winked at Huo Qishan again, telling him to watch him quickly.

"Sister, where have you been, so I can wait." Yi Huan passed the handkerchief by the handmaid beside him, and wiped the sweat off his face. The south of Taiping Island is hotter than the north.

"I'm out for a walk." Zhaoyang didn't want to mention the matter of her seeing Du Yong, but instead asked Yihuan: "Why is Liu Lang here, does Your Majesty know?"

"I know." The boy said, and followed Zhaoyang to the study, saying, "Brother Prince asked me to come."

"Li'an asked you to come?" Zhaoyangdao asked. The names of the children of the Qin family all carry the word "An'an". The country is safe and healthy, so the names of the children of this generation end with the word An.

"What did he ask you to do?" Zhaoyang was a little wary of the younger brother of the prince.

"The elder brother of the prince said that the father is not feeling well recently, and there will be whales on the south coast of Taiping Island every April. Let me bring some whale bones back to present to the father." Huan'an looked innocent, but everyone knows that the size of whales Qi is something this young man can handle.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, there are really whales coming here, just look at them. As for the whale bones, spend some money to buy them, understand?" Zhaoyang said to Qin Huan'an with a downcast face. It is very clear that Huan'an is the eldest son, and he is only the eldest son, so Zhaoyang will not let his younger brother be involved.

"But I also want to hunt some whales." After all, I am young and vigorous.

"Go out to sea and have a look, whale hunting..." Zhaoyang poked Huan'an's head and said, "No!"

Huan'an is 14 years old, so naturally she can't live in the Pinglan Courtyard. Gu Ruyang has never looked back at the mansion, and Zhaoyang has made it her own to settle Huan'an in Tingtao Pavilion, which is closest to her. Recently, Zhaoyang has felt very tired When Huan'an came, she took him out to sea to have a look, and by the way, she would find a chance to visit her entourage again.

That night, Zhaoyang and Huan'an chatted about their childhood in the courtyard again, and they didn't go back to their respective courtyards until the treetops were on the moon.

When she woke up, it was already Chen Shi, Zhao Yang used to get up at Mao time, unexpectedly, she forgot the time when she had a drink with Huan'an yesterday, and Zhao Yang was tired after seeing Zhao Yang with the flute and sword, so she was allowed to fall asleep, originally A princess should live such a life, be a carefree girl, but now Zhaoyang is more tired than the ministers of the court, and she can't bear to be a maid who serves all day.

After Zhaoyang woke up, he only did some simple tidying up. Today, he planned to take Huan'an out to sea. Naturally, it is not suitable for too heavy. At the entrance of the Tao Pavilion, Feng Yan, the personal maid serving Huan'an, knelt on the ground, crying like tears.

"What's the matter? But did Liulang bully you?" Zhaoyang asked, Huan'an was fourteen years old, it was inevitable that the young man would be impulsive, and the personal maid also had the responsibility to teach the master, so she would not bother in the eyes of others, but Zhaoyang Yang has always been kind to others, so naturally he doesn't want Huan'an to do things that force others.

The maid said nothing, just shook her head, looking quite frightened.

"What did the princess ask you?" Feng Di asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid raised her head and glanced at Zhaoyang, her eyes were already full of tears, her face full of fear.

"Your Highness the Sixth Highness... His Highness the Sixth Highness, he...he went to sea."

It was really a wave of ups and downs, Zhaoyang only said that the older the younger brother, the more disobedient he was, so he couldn't blame the servants for this matter, he just asked about the situation of Huan'an's going to sea.

It turned out that Qin Huanan had already made up his mind about hunting whales, and came to Zhaoyang to find out what she said. If Zhaoyang agreed, he would borrow some experienced members of the Gu family to go to sea together. If Zhaoyang disagreed, he would do it earlier. With second-hand preparations, a prince naturally has no shortage of money. He hired local sailors and sailors early in the morning, brought some government soldiers with him, and went to sea early in the morning before Zhaoyang woke up.

Zhaoyang couldn't tolerate him being so presumptuous, so he hurriedly invited Huo Qishan and Du Yong, the two of them looked unhappy when they met, but after hearing Zhaoyang tell the whole story, they settled down again.

"What!? You said His Highness went out to sea to hunt whales?" Du Yong was surprised.

"Exactly." Zhaoyang said.

"This whale doesn't mean that you can catch it just by catching it! Not everyone on the Gu family's boat can attack the whale. This is a craft passed down from generation to generation, and not just any layman can do it."

"The minister immediately chased His Highness back!" Huo Qishan said as he turned around and was about to leave.

"Come back!" Du Yong said: "Do you know how long it has been out to sea? How far has it been? Which direction did you go?"

Huo Qishan was taken aback for a moment, then lost his temper: "I don't know."

Du Yong looked at Zhaoyang again.

"I just went out when I knew it was ugly." Zhaoyang said.

"For this matter, we can only find Mr. Gu."
