Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C162
That night, Gao Lang hugged Jin Xiaolou and snuggled under the blanket.
Just as Gao Lang was about to fall asleep, Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth and said softly, “I don’t know why Wen Mei is going to the Liusu Pavilion, but Nan Yang has definitely seen Yu Su before.”
Gao Lang was woken up by the warm Qi beside his ears. Opening his eyes, he saw Jin Xiaolou’s eyes which were staring at him.
The silver of the moon made her completely bathed in light. It was truly a sight to behold.
She could not care what the person on her said as she raised her chin and bit on Jin Xiaolou’s lips.
Then with a flip, he wrapped the person he was wearing beneath him.
Jin Xiaolou’s breathing stopped for a moment, then she lightly hit Gao Lang a few times: “Stop messing around!”
“Stop messing around.” Gao Lang caressed Jin Xiaolou’s neck, his mouth slurred.
“I, I’m sure that Nan Yang has gone to see Yu Su!” Jin Xiaolou held back the excitement in her heart and pushed Gao Lang away with all her might. With a flip of his body, she sat up, “I smelled the same smell as Yu Su on Nan Yang’s body.”
Gao Lang nodded, “I smell it too.”
Jin Xiaolou’s eyes lit up, “Is that so! At first, I thought the fragrance was coming from Wen Mei, but Lv Yun just happened to say that she saw Wen Mei going to the Liusu Pavilion before, but when the two of them walked closer, I took a closer look and confirmed that the smell came from Nan Yang. ”
Gao Lang nodded again, “My wife is right.”
“Afterwards, I asked Nan Yang if she had met Yu Su before, and she said that she had not.” Jin Xiaolou frowned, “She must be lying.”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Gao Lang also sat up, pulling over his robe and putting it on, “Perhaps she has seen the same person as Yu Su, and have gone to the same place, and the fragrance came from somewhere else and stained their bodies. It’s more likely that they just bought the same makeup. ”
Hearing this, Jin Xiaolou immediately withered and laid down.
He thought that he had found an extremely important evidence that linked Yu Su to the person who killed the crown prince, but he never thought that she would be able to do so.
‘s face creased into a frown, and angrily crawled into Gao Lang’s embrace.
Gao Lang took the opportunity to lie down and covered the two of them up tightly with the blanket.
Early in the morning of the second day, just as Sui Gu was about to insert the last hairpin into the Empress, he heard the voice of a small palace maid sound out from outside the palace. “Empress, the Minister of Revenue, Madam Ji Luo Yu, and her daughter requests an audience.”
“So early.” The empress looked left and right in the bronze mirror. “Announce your entrance.”
Ji Lingyun could be considered to have been watched by the empress since she was young, and she often saw Empress.
Seeing the empress from afar, a smile had already hung on her congealed face. She only felt that Seventh Prince Zhao Yao was the one who was born to Empress after all.
He bowed towards the empress and sat down below her, silently listening to his mother and the empress recount their daily history. After walking around for a long time, the Mrs. Ji finally spoke up, “The truth is, chenqie came to the palace today to ask the empress to arrange a good marriage for my family’s Yun’er. Yun’er is no longer so young. Previously, she was still unenlightened, but now that she has the desire to marry someone, chenqie thought to herself, the Empress knows my daughter’s nature, so she bravely came to trouble you. ”
“What are you saying.” The empress gave a gentle smile. “When I was two or three years old, Yun’er started to twirl around my knees, similar to my own daughter. Naturally, I take her marriage to heart.”
The empress paused for a moment before continuing, “Originally, my Lang’er had also reached the age where he should be married, and was compatible with your Yun’er. “Lang Er’s temperament is unpredictable. With Yun Er, this kind of knowledgeable and intelligent woman, it will be easier to moisten him. It’s just a pity …”
The Queen dragged her words, anxious to the point that Ji Lingyun raised her head and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mrs. Ji raised his eyebrow, and berated softly: “The Empress is also so reckless!”
“It’s fine.” Empress laughed, “I like Yun’er’s straightforward character, but right now, Lang Er already has someone by her side. Looking at Lang Er’s appearance, it seems like she wants to marry that girl as her principal wife, and us Yun’er cannot be wronged and become her concubine.”
“What’s wrong!” Ji Lingyun was even more anxious, “Being able to be Seventh Prince’s concubine is also a blessing gained from several generations of cultivation.”
After hearing these words, not only Empress, but even Sui Gu who was standing beside him could not hold back and pursed his lips.
The Mrs. Ji was even angrier. It was all thanks to the fact that the Empress was gentle and kind, otherwise, according to his daughter’s character, she would have died a hundred and eighty times.
The Queen covered her lips, waved her hand, then said to Ji Lingyun: “Wen Luo has been coming to me to talk about you. Take advantage of the fact that I’m not married yet, and play around with her.”
Ji Lingyun naturally heard that the Empress was chasing her away. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to pay her respects and leave the hall from the west and go straight for Princess Wen Luo.
After Ji Lingyun left, the Queen picked up a cherry and ate it, spitting out a small core into Sui Gu’s hands. Then, she said, “Lang’er has never listened to me, you know.”
“Yes.” Mrs. Ji hurriedly nodded.
“The child is young and doesn’t like to be obedient. I don’t blame him. Everyone says that boys are not as sensible as their daughters. If your Yun’er can come to Lang Er’s side and teach him well, I can relax a hundred and twenty hearts.”
Hearing Empress’s words, Mrs. Ji had a plan in his mind.
The Empress took a fancy to Ji Lingyun.
“Of course, if the Empress has any orders, chenqie will definitely spare no effort.” Mrs. Ji immediately responded.
Empress nodded her head: “If that girl beside Lang Er is a famous beauty, I will not bother with her, but she is a peasant woman from the countryside. I heard that she doesn’t even know how to read, she only knows how to roll up her sleeves and grow rice.”
When these words came out, Mrs. Ji was even more shocked.
“Tell me, if this kind of girl enters Lang’er’s house, wouldn’t he be able to reclaim mud and grow more food in his house’s garden? If this were to spread out, it would truly be the shame of Great Zhou! ”
Empress took a deep breath and continued, “If all of you are able to send that woman away, I will naturally make the decision for Yun’er.”
When he left the Hall of Clear Brilliance, Mrs. Ji was elated and worried. He was happy that the Empress was subordinate to Yun’er, then this Seventh Prince was the Ji Clan’s treasure, he was worried about some peasant woman, what kind of background did he have, he could not read, and was extremely coarse. How could he make the noble and noble Seventh Prince fall for her?
Just as she was about to step out of the hall door, Sui Gu had already hurried over: “Mrs. Ji, the Empress has something she wants me to tell you.”
Mrs. Ji immediately bowed and listened attentively.
“The Empress said that the peasant woman’s surname was Jin, and that he was from the same house as the owner of the De’s Shop of the shop that has become very popular in the capital recently.” Sui Gu blinked her eyes, “Although it is my clan, they are like water and fire. If Mrs. Ji is free, she can come and take a look at De’s Shop.”
Mrs. Ji responded as his mind raced, he hurriedly ordered the servants to go to Princess Wen Luo’s place and call Ji Lingyun over. He took her to the residence but didn’t even have the time to return, as he longed for the De’s Shop.
The decorations of De’s Shop and the Mountain Note of the county city were exactly the same.
Mrs. Ji brought Ji Lingyun to spend a huge sum of money and directly went to the second floor. She held onto the menu and looked at it for a long time before ordering a Coconut Chicken Roll and a fruit salad that she had never heard of before.
Originally, the second floor was set for Western cuisine, but Jin Xiaotao didn’t have the ability to do so. She could only make some things from the menu of the Mountain Note and made the second floor into a simple private room.
Although Mrs. Ji had long heard of De’s Shop’s name, this was still the first time he was going back to the restaurant to order dishes.
At first glance, the girl who praised the Jin Family indeed had two skills. These dishes were something she had never seen or heard of before.
When the dishes were served, it was even more refreshing.
After the Mrs. Ji and Ji Lingyun finished their meal, the Attendant called the shop owner over.
Most of the people on the second floor were honored guests. After a meal, the shopkeeper would ask for a few questions before making a large sum of money to reward them.
Attendant did not hesitate and immediately went downstairs to call Jin Xiaotao.
In the room downstairs, Jin Xiaotao was reprimanding He Guangkun.
After the crown prince died, He Guangkun had no place to stay in the capital. He relied on Jin Xiaotao to live by relying on her De’s Shop.
It was like a blood-sucking Tarsal Maggot, causing Jin Xiaotao to feel annoyed. Every day, she would find all kinds of reasons to drive him away.
At that moment, Jin Xiaotao threw the dowry in her hand directly at He Guangkun, and smashed it on his lower abdomen.
This time, it was both shock and pain. He Guangkun jumped up from the chair in anger: “What are you crazy about again?!”
