Chapter 346 Gains and Losses
Also coming were Young Master Guo and Li San.
Li San performed well in the imperial examination and he is sure to win the imperial examination next year.
This is a rare opportunity.
When Guo Xiao heard his results, he was very surprised and felt a little uncomfortable.
I am afraid that my brothers will suffer, and I am also afraid that my brothers will ride a BMW.
What are you doing?
Isn't he the loser who ate kebabs with me? Why is Li San such a good student?
Guo Xiaozhen wondered if Li San had deliberately asked them out for barbecue, and then he had been secretly studying hard at home?
Ahhh, this must be the case.
Later, his mother poured cold water on him.
"Even if you study every day, you can't get Li San's score."
The family of Marquis Dingyuan are also smart people, and the third brother is obviously cunning.
Guo Xiao shouted: "Mom, since you already know it, why do you still want me to learn it?"
Mrs. Guo was speechless: "Everyone is learning, why don't you learn?"
It doesn’t matter whether he can pass the exam or not. If he has studied, he will just give up. If he doesn’t study, people will always say that this kid is smart but he just doesn’t use his intelligence in studying.
Mrs. Guo felt that it was not like she had never seen smart people before. In fact, smart people are smart in everything they do. Only stupid people, as a polite remark, have no use for studying.
If he is really smart, how could he not learn things from books?
In other words, if he can't learn anything from books, what else can he learn?
Mrs. Guo has already admitted that the child she gave birth to was also a fool, just like those stupid princes in the royal family.
Mrs. Guo glanced at the emperor sitting on the high throne.
At the beginning, her husband was not convinced about such an emperor coming to the throne and wanted to see what this emperor could do.
Then……
They saw what a smart person is.
Guo Rui read those military books many times and memorized them. When the emperor came to visit his mansion, he glanced at them and remembered most of them. He knew the deployment of troops in the northwest, the names of every commander, every mountain, and the name of every river.
At that time, Guo Rui felt like he had seen a ghost. He suddenly felt that the difference between humans and pigs was the difference between the emperor and his youngest son.
It turns out that you can’t learn well just by working hard, talent is also important.
Of course, this alone is not enough to make Guo Rui loyal, there is also the emperor's plan...
Mrs. Guo remembered that after her husband had a detailed conversation with the emperor, her eyes lit up and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
After that, he followed the emperor wholeheartedly.
Compared to the complacent Jiang family, the Guo family is not good at playing conspiracies and intrigues, nor does they want to play them. They just want to preserve their family's status.
The emperor can satisfy them, so why should they go against him?
…
"My Lord, can you please be happy?"
Ning Qingci looked at Prince Duan.
Prince Duan had a blank expression on his face and looked very depressed, as if someone owed him money and didn't pay it back.
"What do you think you are? How dare you control me?" Prince Duan was furious.
Ning Qingci was not angry either. He glanced at him and smiled gently, "It's not easy for you to come out once. If the emperor is unhappy to see you go out, what will you do if he doesn't let you come out next year?"
Prince Duan was shocked.
One sentence awakened the dreamer.
He glanced at the emperor, and the emperor seemed to be looking down, as if looking somewhere else.
His eyes were never focused on the real thing, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
Prince Duan drank a glass of wine and lowered his head.
He was unhappy and didn't want to pretend.
Prince Ming was drinking and complaining with the Eighth Prince.
Concubine Xin wanted to have a grandson, so she held several banquets in her house and asked Prince Ming to attend each time, but Prince Ming did not want to get married.
He said he was in no hurry.
Concubine Xin said that he wouldn't be able to have children in a few years.
The Eighth Prince wanted to laugh when he heard this.
"Actually, getting married is pretty good, look at Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law."
Prince Ming glanced at Prince Duan and his wife.
Then he sneered.
The eighth prince asked him what he was laughing at.
Ming Wang pointed to a corner of the banquet.
"Look over there."
The eighth prince saw a young man with a slightly dark skin but quite handsome, sitting with a group of generals.
He had been in the temple for a long time and he didn't know many people in the capital.
"Who is that?"
Ming Wang held a glass of wine and spoke as he drank.
"The third son of the Duke of Yingzhou, who followed General Zhenyuan to fight in the northwest."
The Eighth Prince looked confused: "Second brother... why are you paying attention to Third Master Yao?"
Prince Ming was speechless: "Young Master Yao was originally the lover of Princess Duan, and the two of them almost got engaged. Before Young Master Yao left, he asked Princess Duan to wait for him, but in the end..."
As a result, Ning Qingci was favored by Concubine Shu, and the Ning family did not dare to offend Prince Duan. Moreover, the Duke of Yingguo's mansion was stripped of its title and the family fell into decline, so they could never compare with Prince Duan.
So, they agreed to the marriage despite Ning Qingci's objection.
And now, the third son of Yao is back.
The Eighth Prince's eyes widened. He heard Prince Ming secretly tell him that the child in Prince Duan's Mansion was the child of Prince Duan and Concubine De.
Now Princess Duan has an old acquaintance coming back...
The eighth prince's mind is a little confused.
He looked towards Third Master Yao and found him chatting happily with several generals. He then looked at Princess Duan, who was eating with her head down. There seemed to be no interaction between the two of them.
until……
The eighth prince went to the toilet, and when he came back, he thought the starry sky was particularly beautiful tonight, so he took one more look at it, and then he heard someone talking.
"I never thought that we would meet under such circumstances." It was a man's voice.
"Third brother, you know, this is not my original intention, but I don't have the courage to commit suicide."
Mainly not worth it.
Although she liked Third Brother Yao, Ning Qingci didn't want to die. If she died, Third Brother Yao would turn around and marry another one. What would she be? Was it a joke?
Ning Qingci believed that no one was worth her death.
“That’s not what I meant, it’s just…it’s just…” Young Master Yao was at a loss for words.
He just couldn't accept that the girl he liked became someone else's wife.
I really can't accept it.
Ning Qingci let out a breath.
At first, she really wanted Third Brother Yao to propose marriage and get engaged as soon as possible.
But Third Brother Yao said he was afraid his family would not agree, so he signed up to go to the Northwest. He asked Ning Qingci to wait for him to come back and marry him after he had made achievements.
Man.
Always like to wait.
But he didn't know that no one would wait for him there.
Fate is so short, and once it’s used up, it’s gone.
The eighth prince in the dark widened his eyes.
Mother, save me.
These are Princess Duan and Third Master Yao.
What did he hear?
What are you going to hear?
The Eighth Prince's mind went blank.
Ning Qingci took a few steps and looked up at the night sky: "It's over now. Right or wrong is not important. I'm leaving first. Take care, Third Brother Yao."
She turned and left.
It’s a bit regrettable actually.
I haven't seen him for a long time. Brother Yao San has become more handsome and stronger. I really want to touch his abdominal muscles, but...
But now that she is married, she should not challenge the royal majesty. If she can give up some happiness, she should give it up.
We can't harm Third Brother Yao either.
and……
Ning Qingci thought about it and decided that although her relationship with Prince Duan was not smooth, her life was really going well.
The absence of a man is of no importance to Ning Qingci.
If she marries Third Brother Yao, he is a military general and is away from home all year round, and she will have to serve her father-in-law, the old-fashioned Duke of England, who is said to have a mistress outside.
The second son of the Yao family has a bad temper and is as irritable as if he is sick. He was beaten with a stick by the emperor some time ago. The fourth son of the Yao family is a nerd. In the future, when the family lives together, she will have to deal with the relationship between the sisters-in-law. She will not be as happy as she is now.
In comparison, men really don't matter at all.
When Ning Qingci came back, Prince Duan must have been drunk and was hugging Prince Jing and crying bitterly.
King Jing nodded helplessly to Ning Qingci.
The banquet was coming to an end, and the emperor didn't want to stay any longer, so he left in a hurry.
Ning Qingci stared at the exquisite snacks on the table for a long time, but still couldn't help but picked up one and ate it.
It’s worthy of being made in the imperial kitchen, it tastes really good.
Ning Qingci laughed.
