Chapter 196: A big show of affection?
Qiao Gu calmed down and looked up at Shen Qiuhe this time, "What do I need to do?"
Let's get straight to the point, there's no need to lie.
"The people from the Dali eunuch should be guarded inside so as not to attract attention, and the others should be at ease." The prince invited him, and the most important thing was his safety.
Hearing what Shen Qiuhe said, Qiao Guxin nodded, "Okay, will His Highness have a meal? I want to keep an eye on the kitchen?"
Poisoning is definitely not a problem, but I am afraid that there are some dishes that have not been washed properly. The belly of the East Palace is so precious. What if I feel uncomfortable eating?
Or, whether you want to use mountain spring water or well water for cooking depends on it.
"If you can trust me, I'll let Wang Si keep an eye on me." Shen Qiuhe asked everywhere, no longer as tough as before.
As Qiao Guxin said, they are no longer children, so there is no need to get into a fight. When they have common interests, they can talk calmly.
"Then I have to thank Lord Shen."
Qiao Wenzhi looked at Shen Qiuhe and then at Qiao Guxin. She originally wanted to ask her if she should hide, but she looked at the two people talking to each other. Although they didn't say much, they both said nothing. It was appropriate for people to ask and answer questions, but if she interjected out of thin air, it would always feel extra abrupt.
This hesitation further delays the opportunity.
Not long after, the person below sent a message saying that Mrs. Zhao wanted to see her.
When he heard the surname was Zhao, Qiao Gu immediately understood. He took a deep breath, told the person below that he was invited, and then walked forward quickly.
When going down the steps, Shen Qiuhe raised his hand naturally, but then took it back and moved his body a step to one side, leaving a big space for Qiao Guxin.
Everywhere, avoid suspicion.
I didn't realize it when I was on the road before, but when I stopped, sweat kept dripping from my forehead. Shen Qiuhe probably didn't bring a handkerchief, so he wiped it with his sleeves.
Qiao Wenzhi followed the two of them, looking around but didn't say anything.
When Qiao Guxin and others passed by, the prince entered the second door. The servants who were originally serving him had been sent to the side. From now on, they were in charge of Dali Temple. Shen Qiuhe led a few people and then knelt down. , "My lord, I respectfully welcome Your Highness, Your Majesty."
Qiao Guxin had met the prince, but only in the palace. He was naturally dignified in bright yellow clothes.
Today, the prince is wearing dark brown uniforms and has his hair tied with a jade crown. He seems to have the vigor of a young man.
Empress Liangdi is also plain today, with a long plum blossom hairpin fixed on her temples, looking lazy but unable to hide her nobility.
When two people stand together, they truly make a perfect pair.
Seeing Shen Qiuhe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled heartily, "Even this palace can't hide from your eyes and ears of Dali Temple. I wanted to see your jokes."
Listening to this tone, it is obvious that Shen Qiuhe is familiar with him.
The identity of Shen Qiuhe, a close minister of the Crown Prince, was confirmed by the Crown Prince himself.
"Your Highness is joking." No matter what, the prince is your king and your minister, and you must always respect him.
He Liangdi supported Qiao Guxin from the side, "Hurry up and excuse yourself."
Then he looked at Qiao Wenzhi behind Qiao Guxin, "Who is this?"
"Back to the queen, this is my sister-in-law." Qiao Guxin introduced to the queen Liangdi.
Qiao Wenzhi felt blessed again and said, "My daughter, the second in number in the Qiao family, calls me Wenzhi."
A look of understanding immediately appeared on He Liangdi's face, "I have heard for a long time that Feng Tanhua and Miss Qiao are both talented and beautiful. It turns out that they are like this when we meet them today."
Qiao Wenzhi thought that the people in the East Palace must be high and mighty. Hearing He Liangdi's gentle words, she couldn't help but relax and blushed slightly, "I'm just kidding."
As the female family members spoke, the prince also looked over, and then followed He Liangdi and said, "This is indeed the case as I see it."
Even when he was not in the palace, he made a joke just like the young people.
The prince spoke, and Qiao Wenzhi became more and more at a loss. Her whole body was red from face to neck.
Shen Qiuhe noticed Qiao Wenzhi's embarrassment, so he made a gesture of invitation and moved the two nobles inside.
"A few days ago, you said you could borrow my private garden. I think this place is no worse than our private garden." The prince sighed as he walked.
This place is definitely not as big as the Prince's private garden, but it is small and exquisite. Especially Qiao Wenqing took great care of it. Later, he sent a gardener and other carvers. The yard is not big but the work is fast, and every step is a scene.
While waiting to enter the garden, His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly stopped and raised his finger to point to the plaque above, "If I am right, this should be the handiwork of Qiao Zhuangyuan."
"Your Highness has good eyesight." Shen Qiuhe then smiled and nodded.
Qiao Guxin listened to the prince's question and quickly looked at Shen Qiuhe, wanting to nod at him so that Shen Qiuhe would not be at a loss.
Unexpectedly, Shen Qiuhe knew and answered naturally.
The prince smiled heartily, "It's natural. I love to read Qiao Zhuangyuan's calligraphy. Even the poems he writes every day, I have to read them over and over again two or three times."
When looking at what the No. 1 scholar writes, firstly, the handwriting is pleasing to the eye, and secondly, the content. Every word in every excerpt is worthy of your appreciation.
Sometimes when the prince sees it, he doesn't feel that he is reading a book, but that he is looking at an excellent work. He may even wonder where he is and whether he can use another word.
Seeing the men talking, He Liangdi turned her head and whispered with the same intention as Qiao, "Look at me saying that Your Highness cherishes talents. This is so crazy. If Qiao Zhuangyuan hadn't been a man, I would have doubted whether they had an affair. "
What I talk about most every day is, what did Qiao Zhuangyuan write today, what did he write yesterday, and what will he write tomorrow?
"You're just talking nonsense." Although He Liangdi lowered her voice, she was standing close to His Highness the Crown Prince, so the Crown Prince naturally heard her and scolded her sideways, but it was clear that what everyone heard was love.
He Liangdi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, while the prince shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of energy.
It can be seen that these two people really like each other.
There are rumors that the prince loves He Liangdi. It seems that there is no smoke without fire.
Everyone was chatting and laughing and sitting in the pavilion.
Because the prince did not allow everyone to be polite today, they all sat down according to the rules.
I was afraid that the people at Dali Temple would be careless and inconsiderate when I was praying beads and incense, so I waited outside the pavilion myself.
The prince arrived in a hurry, and the table was not cleared in time. He Liangdi saw the embroidered plum blossoms placed in the basket at a glance, "These embroidered flowers are really beautiful."
"What I said to the empress is that I did it at will. I will let you down now, so as not to stain the empress's eyes." Qiao Wenzhi stood up nervously.
He Liangdi smiled and shook her head, "Miss Qiao is so humble. I think that with this skill, even the embroiderers in the palace can't compare to it."
"Do you like it?" Mo Yao looked at the prince talking to Shen Qiuhe, but he kept looking at He Liangdi from the corner of his eyes. The prince asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Wenzhi hurriedly said, "If your Majesty likes me, I will embroider a handkerchief for your Majesty."
After hearing this, He Liangdi first glared at His Highness the Crown Prince, and then called Qiao Wenzhi to sit down quickly, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I just looked at him and admired him. I will definitely do it if necessary in the future." Sorry for bothering Miss Qiao Er."
If you are an ordinary person, it would be a great blessing to have such good craftsmanship that can be appreciated by the nobles in the palace. But Qiao Wenzhi is a girl from the Hou Mansion. The eldest sister married into the Duke's Mansion, the third brother was the number one scholar, and she was promised to be the third flower. Lang.
When we met for the first time and asked someone to embroider something, I couldn't tell whether it was appreciation or wasted time.
Even if you really like her, you have to have a personal relationship before you can speak in a more reasonable and reasonable manner.
The prince was not upset when He Liangdi told her. Instead, he glanced at Shen Qiuhe and said, "Look, this girl is very attentive. You have to be careful in coaxing people."
At that time, when Shen Qiuhe asked for the position of county chief for Qiao Guxin, this is what he said to the prince.
As soon as the prince finished speaking, He Liangdi took Qiao Guxin's hand and said, "If you ask me, our girl's family can't be so easy to talk to. If it weren't for the rules in the palace, I wouldn't be able to leave here."
The people in the palace are very thoughtful, and it is not normal for a couple who have just been married to live separately to enjoy the scenery.
Qiao Wenzhi frowned slightly, why did she see that the prince and He Liangdi were here to be lobbyists and make peace with Shen Qiuhe?
Or is the prince using Shen Qiuhe to make He Liangdi happy?
Qiao Wenzhi shook her head. Everyone in this palace has eighteen curves of intestines, which makes them unpredictable.
He Liangdi looked at Qiao Wenzhi and suddenly shook her head. Even the woman couldn't help laughing, "I just know what it means to be a hero and a beauty to be sad."
No wonder Feng Tanhua hurriedly went to the Marquis Mansion to propose marriage as soon as she gained fame. If such a lovely girl was too slow to act, wouldn't she become someone else's?
The more aloof a person is, the more easy-going he is when speaking, and he seems to have forgotten the time when talking and laughing.
Until, someone came over in a hurry and whispered a few words in front of Nianxiang.
Nianxiang immediately had a look of embarrassment on his face. He wanted to ask Qiao Guxin for advice. It was really not good for you to whisper in front of the East Palace. It was like carrying someone else's secret.
Moreover, even though the prince came with a small number of people, they must all be experts, and maybe people heard what they were saying.
Nianxiang had never dealt with people in the palace, so she didn't know what to do for a moment. She raised her hand and saw Shen Qiuhe turning sideways, and then looked at Shen Qiuhe for help.
Shen Qiuhe looked at Nian Xiang's expression and frowned slightly, "The plum blossoms are blooming just right now. It just so happens that there are a few plum blossoms in bloom behind this yard."
The prince nodded naturally, "It just so happens that my trip to the palace is well worth it."
Then she looked at He Liangdi, but He Liangdi shook her head, "The sun is so bright today, I'm afraid of getting burned."
When He Liangdi refused, the prince let her go.
When Nianxiang saw that He Liangdi couldn't get through, she became anxious again.
But everyone has refused like this, so if he calls again, it will look deliberate.
When Qiao Guxin got up to see off the prince, she saw that Nianxiang was wrong. When they sat down, Qiao Guxin asked Nianxiang, "But what's the matter?"
Nianxiang glanced at Qiao Wenzhi first, then looked away and said, "The Feng family girl is here to find the second girl."
Thinking about it, let Qiao Wenzhi go take a look first.
