Chapter 179: Marrying the Princess (12)
Three days later...
"Sister, I'm going to the recipe building to check it out. Brother Ruinian is here, so I'm going that way."
"you……"
Seeing Liao Ruinian coming, Gu Xinyue lowered her eyebrows. The two walked side by side, looking very well matched.
"My Lord, you are here."
"Has there been anything unusual in the recipe building recently?"
"No, we made a lot of money. Here is the account book."
Gu Yuxi looked at the income and found it was indeed gratifying. She had to seize the time to make more money before the crisis.
Now Meng Heyun has been completely confined to the cold palace, and the imperial teacher has also been investigated by the emperor. Some things are just a matter of time.
"My Lord, is there anything wrong?"
"No, but I don't know how long this peaceful and prosperous era will last."
"Dongli is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This will definitely last for a long time."
"hope so."
After walking out of the recipe building, Gu Yuxi was about to board a flower boat, but someone came to spoil his fun again.
"Princess Yuxi, I didn't expect to see you again."
"Ms. Chen, we just met a few days ago, and it seems we are not that familiar with each other."
Chen Caiyun did not feel embarrassed. She walked over and said to the boatman, "This flower boat for Princess Qingcheng has been booked. Boatman, please prepare to sail."
Cuihong: "Princess, this person..."
Gu Yuxi stopped him: "We have paid the money, Miss Chen, you don't want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, do you?"
"I'll give you whatever amount of silver you spent."
"This is not a question of money, it's a question of whether you have good manners or not, Miss Chen, don't hang around in front of me."
"Who cares?"
Li Qingcheng looked at Gu Yuxi quietly. The servants clearly said that Gu Xinyue had been sent to the room, so why did she become the one in the end?
Meng Heyun had checked. Since the dead woman's fetus was related to the Xili royal family, and he only instructed the abortion, it could only mean that she was fooled.
At that time, Gu Yuxi and a few others had left the banquet, and Gu Xinyue was most likely taken away by Gu Yuxi, who then ordered someone to knock her unconscious.
Her Majesty doesn't want those people to talk nonsense, but she can't control other people's mouths.
"Cousin, my sister likes this flower boat more. I'll pay double the price."
"You pay for the boat ride, not me, so what's the use? Besides, I've already paid. According to what you said, cousin, you can do whatever you want if you like?"
"How can you say that to me? I just felt sorry for the boatman who hadn't set off for so long and was afraid that he would waste time."
"Cousin, if you hadn't come here to steal my love, our ship would have left long ago. How could you have wasted time?"
"What do you mean by stealing someone's love? Cousin, why don't you learn more idioms from Master Ji?"
Gu Yuxi didn't indulge her, so she leaned over and said, "Cousin, you should be more restrained. People should follow the principle of first come first served. I'm not the kind of person who insists on being reasonable."
Li Qingcheng looked at Gu Yuxi and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you do something to make me lose my innocence?"
"Cousin, you are still innocent. When did you lose your innocence? You can't say such things carelessly. After all, a woman's reputation is very important."
Gu Yuxi did not hide it and said with a smile: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. My sister has no grudge against you, why do you treat her like this?"
Li Qingcheng widened her eyes and stared at Gu Yuxi in disbelief. Her heart was filled with shock, and she thought: It is indeed her!
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt her wrist being tightly grasped by a force.
Before she could react, the hand loosened slightly, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground defenselessly.
"Ouch!" Li Qingcheng screamed, and the pain in her body made her frown.
Seeing this, Gu Yuxi just smiled faintly, with a hint of innocence in her tone: "Cousin, are you okay? I really didn't mean it. Who asked you to be so close to me!"
After hearing this, Li Qingcheng couldn't help feeling aggrieved and angry.
She gritted her teeth, tried to stand up from the ground, glared at Gu Yuxi and said, "Cousin, I know you are resentful of me, but you can't treat me like this! After all, we are cousins, can't we just get along well?"
"I didn't push you. Did anyone see me push Princess Qingcheng?"
The others shook their heads. It was their fault for not being able to see why the two of them suddenly started arguing.
"I didn't see it, but Princess Qingcheng has a good character, so she doesn't seem to..."
"Well, go on."
The man looked at Gu Yuxi's eyes that said "speak nicely to me" and immediately gave up his kindness. After all, the princess had a bad temper and would bully people at any time, and they couldn't fight back.
"We didn't see anything. Princess Qingcheng might have fallen accidentally."
"Princess Qingcheng often falls down, you guys probably don't know that, right?"
"It's so easy to fall, don't look for someone to scam you again. After all, Princess Yuxi likes to fight and doesn't like to reason."
Chen Caiyun supported Li Qingcheng and shouted, "Cousin Qingcheng, look at this man. He is still so stubborn."
"What does my stubbornness have to do with you? You have been staying in Xiaoyao Palace for a long time. Do you want to stay here permanently? You think you are the master here."
"What nonsense are you talking about? My aunt likes me and asked me to stay in the palace for a while longer."
"Hey, Miss Chen, how long have you been here? I thought you were going to become a lady of Xiaoyao Palace."
"Stop talking nonsense. We two don't get along. Don't involve everything in this kind of thing."
"Yes, I won't say anything. Don't forget, you are just a daughter of a lowly ninth-rank official. You have been showing off in front of me. I am already showing you a compliment by not punishing you. Don't keep trying to make a name for yourself in front of me."
Chen Caiyun remained quiet, and Li Qingcheng was about to cry. Gu Yuxi immediately said, "Cousin, if you want to cry, just cry. After all, it's embarrassing to tell others about this kind of thing."
"Princess Qingcheng, we will take care of the matter for you. If you have any grievances, please tell us."
Cuihong said, "It was this Miss Chen who wanted to ride the flower boat, but our princess had already paid for it, and she actually said she wanted to ride for free."
"You are lying, bitch. I told you to find another boat, but I am not withholding the money from you."
"Do you think our princess is after your little silver? We follow the principle of first come first served, otherwise you can ask the other ladies present and ask them to get off the boat directly!"
"Cousin, Caiyun didn't mean it."
"I don't know if she did it on purpose, but cousin, you said you would give the boat owner twice the price as me. You are making it difficult for me. If I don't quit, the boat owner might blame me for making him earn less money, but if I quit, I feel too cowardly."
The boatman immediately stated his position: "Princess Qingcheng, there are other flower boats that can go. Princess Yuxi has already given the money, so I will naturally take care of them first."
Li Qingcheng didn't expect that the person who always got angry when encountering things would calm down today. After the truth was revealed, it was all her fault.
