The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 329 The prince joked about gossip

 At this time, Luo Qi and others lit a small charcoal stove.

There was a teapot on the charcoal stove, and a cup of tea was poured for each of them.

 Du Wan breathed a sigh of relief when outsiders were present.

Pei Hao noticed that the little girl was uncomfortable and couldn't move her eyes away. His anxious mood suddenly calmed down and he said, "Wanwan."

"Eh? What's the matter?" Du Wanqiao asked him.

Pei Hao said calmly, "Is there anything to eat?"

 Du Wan: “…”

It's serious, a big boss comes to your door to ask for food?

Du Wan asked Ning Qin to go to the kitchen and give orders to prepare some of the prince's favorite dishes. When Ning Qin went there, the kitchen happened to be on fire. The old housekeeper ordered to make some food for Chen Liu and the others.

Ningqin happened to bring back three dishes, one soup, and rice.

Pei Hao got food directly without being polite to Du Wan. While eating, he saw Du Wan sitting aside and looking at him, "Would you like some, Princess?"

 “No, I just had it not long ago.”

“Then it’s a bad time for me to come. If I had come earlier, I could have had dinner with you.”

　　　…”

Du Wan didn't answer the words and just sat next to him and watched him eat.

In the past, Pei Hao was used to eating until he was seven-tenths full. Today, under the watch of the little girl, he unknowingly ate all the food on the table. He was so full that he couldn't let the little girl see it. He only saw it when she turned around. , and then quietly touched his belly.

Du Wan turned around and picked up the filled tea bowl and placed it in front of Pei Hao, "There's no soup, so take a sip of tea."

"Thank you Wanwan." Pei Hao took the tea, took a sip, then put it in the palm of his hand. The heat from the teacup made his palms very warm, as if even his heart was warmed up, "There has been some gossip in the capital recently, do you want to listen?"

 Gossip? !

Of course you have to listen!

Du Wan's big eyes suddenly lit up, "If you have any interesting stories, please tell me."

 “Who do you want to listen to?” Pei Hao joked.

 “Many? Whose do they belong to?”

“There are people from the palace, from the Ministry of War, the Minister of War, and from the Dingbei Marquis’s Mansion…and of course, from my family.”

 Pei Hao said the last sentence, not to mention the surprise of Ning Qin and others who were guarding him. Even Du Wan wanted to give him a thumbs up.

What a great villain, he is so ruthless that he even gossips about himself.

Du Wan immediately had a choice, "Listen to your family."

"If you say it's from my family, it doesn't count as my family. It's what happened at my second uncle's house, and it has something to do with me." Then Pei Hao told what happened on the first day of the new year to his second uncle, "On this first day of the new year, My second uncle's family is considered the first family in the capital to be visited by people asking for debts. They all feel so embarrassed that no one dares to go out even on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

 “Ow a lot of money?”

 “Not much, just over thirty thousand taels.”

  “…” Isn’t this too much?

Du Wan thought about her initial small treasury, but it didn’t even have this amount.

 Pei Hao then talked about the gossip in the palace.

 It is said to be the gossip in the palace, but it is actually Qin Yuyu's.

 There are various small banquets almost every day in the capital, either held by this family or that family. Generally, the popular banquets are hosted by powerful young men or young ladies.

 On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest daughter of the Qi family held a small banquet. They invited some acquaintances of the ladies to a party, and then handed an invitation card to the Jinxiu Palace in the palace.

 Normally this is a habitual post, just like when Du Wan became the princess, whenever there was a gathering in the capital, those with lower status than her would routinely send a post.

 Normally, Du Wan rarely even watches it, even if she goes to participate in it. The person who sent the post to the Princess Mansion also knew it very well. If they can invite people to come, they make money; even if they don't come, they are polite and considerate.

For example, the eldest lady of the Qi family should also send one of the invitations to the princess mansion this time.

Du Wan is not in Beijing, so it is normal not to go. I didn't expect Qin Yuyu to go that day.

　　A banquet where the heroine appears is no less than the scene of a car accident. It would be strange not to cause some trouble.

The matter was so big that I couldn't cover it up even if I wanted to. Naturally, Pei Haoren heard about it in the capital. It seemed that Qin Yuyu and Ma Suqin had a dispute, and Huo Xi, the eldest daughter of Yongping Marquis, was involved, and there were others. Noble lady.

These people have all had conflicts with Qin Yuyu.

 At last the trouble came before the emperor.

 A man took his daughter into the palace to plead guilty and appeared in front of the emperor.

The emperor had a headache. The cause of this incident was that one of Qin Yuyu's palace maids accidentally bumped into a maid and poured all the tea soup that the maid was carrying onto Ma Suqin.

Qin Yuyu was not injured, but was ridiculed by a group of noble ladies.

There is really no problem if you take those words alone, or if the tone is wrong. The unique sarcasm of noble ladies is hard to hear and hard to grasp. Therefore, after the emperor heard the report, he did not ask any questions.

 The one who took the blame in the end was the palace maid.

After hearing this, Du Wan regretted, "It's a pity that I'm not in the city, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see this big show."

"It was indeed a big show, even the emperor was alarmed." Pei Hao felt that Qin Yuyu was very worried. The fight between the girls was not on the stage, but it was brought to the court. In contrast, his own little girl was more worried. good.

Du Wan asked again: "Ma Suqin was burned? Is it serious?"

“Fortunately, I wore thick clothes in winter, so I didn’t suffer serious burns. The medical woman from the Tai Hospital went to see me, and it is said that it will heal after a period of time, and there will be no scars.”

 “Is it really that simple?” Du Wan recalled the plot and found that it was really similar.

Ma Suqin in the book ended badly and was disfigured?

There was no scar this time.

Du Wan thought about it and discovered the key. The time when he discovered this in the book was not winter. This may be due to Ma Suqin's luck. On such a cold day, any water poured out can freeze.

 The tea soup in the maid's hand will cool down midway through the pouring.

Pei Hao told a few more gossips, all of which happened in aristocratic families.

Du Wan asked: "What happened in Dingbei Hou Mansion?"

"..." Pei Hao's eyes flashed, thinking that the little girl wouldn't ask, "It's nothing. It's just that Xie Ying, who was thrown to Zhuangzi before, returned home and something happened."

“What is it?” Du Wan was very curious.

Pei Hao breathed a sigh of relief silently. At least he didn't ask Xie Qi. Does it mean that the little girl didn't take Xie Qi seriously?

Then, Pei Hao said: "It was Xie Ying who rescued a poor student when she was in Zhuangzi. Later, in order to thank her, that person went to Zhuangzi to find her. As they came back and forth, the relationship became closer. After returning home, Xie Ying Ying, she said she wanted to marry him, but Mrs. Xie didn’t agree. No, there was a fuss."

 “The news has spread in the capital?”

"This has not spread. I... discovered it through the secret wire buried in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion."

　　　…”

Du Wan saw the gloating in Pei Hao's eyes. He probably felt that Xie Zhang was unlucky and he was quite happy.
