Because of deceiving the emperor, the old man left the palace in a cold sweat. Standing at the gate of the palace, he whispered to Gu Xingnuo: "What happened to the second son? Didn't you send someone to look for him? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Young Master Gu turned his head and curled his lips. His second son had been on the run for a few days, and the old man had never asked where the second son was. Now that the old man was worried, what had he been doing?
Seeing that Gu Xingnuo didn't say anything, the old man got anxious and raised his hand to pat his grandson on the head, and asked anxiously: "You didn't send anyone to look for him?"
Gu Xingnuo hurriedly supported the old man's raised hand and said, "We sent people. Maybe Xingyan was too careful this time, and the people sent by grandson didn't find them. Grandfather, if we have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"
The old man looked at the people standing outside the palace gate. Gu Xingnuo was different from Gu Xingyan and Gu Xinglang. This was the person who would be the head of his Gu family in the future. He couldn't scold his eldest grandson in front of so many people. The old man could only stomp his feet and get on the horse.
"Young Master Gu," just when Gu Xingnuo was about to get on the horse, a little eunuch ran out from the palace gate, calling Gu Xingnuo and running towards him.
Gu Xingnuo stopped and waited for the young eunuch. He felt suspicious. Did the emperor think something was wrong and sent someone to call him back for questioning?
The young eunuch ran to Gu Xingnuo, swiftly bowed to him, and whispered, "Master Gu, the emperor said..."
When Gu Xingnuo heard what the emperor said, he immediately knelt down. No one could receive the emperor's order while standing.
The young eunuch waved his hand at Gu Xingnuo and said, "The emperor said that the eldest master does not need to kneel."
Gu Xingnuo asked curiously, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
The young eunuch said, "The emperor said that the eldest son told the princess on his behalf that the emperor is in good health these days and asked the princess not to worry about him. If the emperor doesn't announce it, the princess doesn't need to come to the palace."
Gu Xingnuo tried his best to hold back his laughter. His Majesty had been tortured to this extent by the princess.
Yu Xiaoxiao was sitting in her room eating at this time. The old man and Brother Gu had not returned from the palace to express their gratitude. Gu Xinglang was drinking with his brothers in the army. The old lady said that she had no appetite today and went to bed to rest first. Madam Sun and Madam Lin were eating in the room with their sons, so Yu Xiaoxiao could only eat in her room with Nanny Wang, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei.
The chef in the Gu Mansion's kitchen cut the pig's head into slices and served it on a plate. Finally, it no longer looked so scary that Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei were terrified. But even so, this large plate of pig's head was passed around to the various masters in the mansion, and except for a plate left for Gu Xinglang, no other plates were given out.
"Grandma, my sister-in-law and the others don't eat pork?" Yu Xiaoxiao was very confused. Why wouldn't someone eat pork?
Nanny Wang suppressed her strong desire not to talk to her princess anymore and said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, how can this be considered pork?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was even more confused. How could pig head meat not be pork? "Then what kind of meat is this?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Nanny Wang, "It can't be beef, right?"
Nanny Wang said, "This kind of meat is not served at the banquet. Princess, don't you know that?"
Yu Xiaoxiao stared at Nanny Wang for a long time. This was because there were too many delicious foods. The humans in this world looked down on pig heads. When the rich were showing off in front of the poor, they usually had the same expression and tone as Nanny Wang. What a damn world! Her Highness the Princess thought maliciously in her heart. One day when zombies appear, I’ll see how you show off again!
Nanny Wang said, "Princess, starting tomorrow, I will explain the women's books and women's rings to you again."
Yu Xiaoxiao was depressed and buried her head in her food, not paying any attention to what Nanny Wang said.
Xiaozhuang bravely said to Nanny Wang: "Mammy, aren't we going to Ruyun Mountain together tomorrow?"
Nanny Wang's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and they stabbed Xiaozhuang's body with a "whoosh".
Xiaozhuang lowered his head and dared not speak.
Nanny Wang didn't wait until tomorrow and started teaching her princess right away.
Xiao Wei ate very calmly. He was not worried at all about Nanny Wang teaching the princess female books and etiquette. Not to mention that the princess was the master and Nanny Wang was the servant. Anyway, Xiao Wei believed that if the class really went on, Nanny Wang would definitely be the one who went crazy in the end.
Yu Xiaoxiao finished her meal, looked at the clean dishes on the table, and said, "I'm going to the Zhao residence tonight to eavesdrop. Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei, are you interested in going with me?"
When Nanny Wang heard what Yu Xiaoxiao said, she was shocked. She had been talking to him for such a long time, but he didn't hear a word he said.
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, what corner of Zhao Xiang are we going to eavesdrop on?"
"I saw the two daughters of the treacherous Prime Minister Zhao today," Yu Xiao.
Nanny Wang knew that Zhao Qiu Ming had a pair of twin daughters, so she said disdainfully, "They are just concubines' daughters. Why should the princess care about them?"
Xiao Zhuang said, "Princess, were the two young ladies from Prime Minister Zhao's family also rude to you?" Thinking about the grudge between Concubine Zhao and her own princess, Xiao Zhuang felt that she had seen the truth.
Yu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, "They were pressed by the wall. When I saw them, they were unconscious."
"Are you concerned about their injuries?" Nanny Wang knew that her princess was not so kind-hearted, but apart from this, Nanny Wang could not think of any other reason, unless her princess wanted to go to Prime Minister Zhao's house to kill people and set fire to them.
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her finger at Xiaozhuang, Xiaowei, and Nanny Wang, and whispered, "I am sure that girl is not the daughter of the treacherous Prime Minister Zhao!"
Xiao Zhuang said, "No way, could Prime Minister Zhao mistake his own daughter?"
"Humph," Yu Xiao said, "That was clearly Er Qiu, but he insisted on telling my dad that it was Zhao Yingqin."
Nanny Wang and the other two looked at each other. They seemed to have heard something big: Zhao Qiu Ming was deceiving the emperor?
"I'm going to expose Erqiu's true identity," Yu Xiao said, "Xiaozhuang, Xiaowei, let's go."
Xiaozhuang was very excited. As one of the people who could kill Zhao Qiu Ming, Xiaozhuang was very proud.
But Nanny Wang slammed the table.
"Are you going too?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Nanny Wang said, "We need to tell the Prince Consort about this."
Yu Xiao: "He is entertaining guests."
Nanny Wang said, "Princess, please wait here for a moment. I will go to see the prince consort." After saying this, Nanny Wang stood up and left.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei: "Should we wait for Madam?"
Thinking about what would happen if Nanny Wang came back and found that they were gone, Xiaozhuang's heart trembled and he nodded to Yu Xiaoxiao. Nanny Wang would be very polite to the princess, but there was no such thing as polite to him and Xiao Wei.
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, who is Erqiu?"
"A beauty," Yu Xiaoxiao thought that Erqiu was Wen Fenglin's true love, and in her heart she gave the cruel empress a boost. She couldn't win against Erqiu, and the cruel empress was very miserable.
