The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 166 A strange misunderstanding

Du Wan has a guilty conscience.

　　When I heard someone calling me, I was immediately startled.

Suddenly stood up and turned around, took a closer look, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he found it was Pei Hao.

When doing bad things like this, seeing Pei Hao's inexplicably relieved reaction, even Du Wan himself didn't realize anything was wrong.

Du Wan scolded her with a stern face and asked, "What are you doing? Talking suddenly behind someone's back can scare people to death, do you understand?"

"What bad things are you doing? You look guilty."

"What bad thing? Did you see me doing something bad?" Du Wan suddenly became furious, glaring at Pei Hao angrily, her cheeks bulging with anger.

Interesting!

Pei Hao's hands were itchy and he wanted to pinch her face.

But he endured it.

Pei Hao couldn't help teasing her, "You said you didn't do anything bad, then tell me what you were doing?"

 “Can’t I just admire my own flowers and plants? I want you to take care of them!”

 “I didn’t care, you’re just suspicious.”

“…” Du Wan finally realized that her reaction just now was too big.

Soon, she calmed down and said calmly: "Oh, it's not that I'm suspicious, it's that you always want to find trouble."

Pei Hao walked to the guardrail and looked at the decorative flowers and plants outside the corridor. Nothing unusual was found, but he was sure that the little girl was hiding something.

 It’s a pity that I didn’t catch her little tail.

Du Wan straightened her back, stretched out deliberately, and then raised her chin at Pei Hao and snorted coldly. Then, he walked away majestically.

Pei Hao followed her step by step and sent her directly out of the back garden.

 He had to stop. This visit to the Princess Mansion was not a private matter, he was coming with the emperor.

 The duty lies, and he can only send her here.

The guards watching the scene were very confused.

 So, the princess went to the back garden to meet Prince Pei...

Pei Hao had already discovered this guard, "What are you doing with the princess?"

“The captain of the guard asked his subordinates to follow him,” the guard said directly.

“What is the princess doing in the pavilion?”

 “What to do? Aren’t we waiting for you?”

"…"Huh? really? !

Pei Hao was stunned when he heard this.

Soon he believed it, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

The little girl really likes to talk what she means. If you want to see him, tell him straight away...

 The guard’s misunderstanding was the result of the prince’s imagination.

  She successfully misinterpreted Du Wan's various strange behaviors as little tricks to see her fiancé, and that was why she had such a big reaction when she saw Pei Hao, and felt particularly guilty. Everything seemed to be reasonable.

 Du Wan is completely unaware that the truth has been distorted.

 At this time, he was running to find Du Qian impatiently.

Du Qian was studying in his small study. He was surprised to see Du Wan coming in a hurry, "Sister, are you running in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?"

"Let me drink some water first." Du Wan ran to the small coffee table, poured some water and drank, "Hey, is this ginseng tea?"

 “Yes. Sister, drink more.”

"Okay." Du Wan took another sip of water before putting down the tea bowl, "Brother, the emperor's uncle is here, do you know?"

 “Huh? When did it happen?” Du Qian had been reading.

Du Wan said with a smile: "The emperor probably doesn't want to see the junior now, so he didn't inform you and me."

"What do you mean? You went to the corner again."

 “Well, I’m just curious.”

　　　…" I promised well yesterday, but I forgot it again today. Du Qian patted her forehead lovingly, "Remember this, it won't happen next time. Your ability is to protect your family, not to pry into their secrets. Giving your family proper privacy is a sign of respect for them."

“Yes, I will never do it again.” Du Wan understood.

Du Wan really took it to heart this time and decided not to take the initiative to listen to his family members again in the future.

Du Qian immediately chuckled and asked, "What secret did you hear that made you so anxious to share it with your elder brother?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Du Wan's big eyes suddenly lit up, he rubbed his little hands, and started talking. Sell ​​the emperor's uncle's secrets cleanly.

Du Wan deliberately titillated, "Do you know what the jade pendant is about?"

"what happened?"

"It was the emperor's uncle who was out of touch with other people's affairs. He sobered up and deliberately kept the jade pendant he picked up for fear that the queen would misunderstand. He just thought that if things got into trouble, someone would take the blame."

  “…” This approach is very destructive.

Du Qian was also speechless about the emperor's uncle.

However, Du Qian would not talk much about the faults of his elders. At the same time, he warned his sister, "It's good that you know this and don't mention it to others."

Du Wan nodded obediently, "Yeah, I'm not stupid. I'm just talking to my eldest brother. He's not someone else."

"Yes! Brother is not someone else." Du Qian's eyes showed pleasure.

　　　…”

 Some people in the capital heard the news.

 Waiting for the scandal in the Princess Mansion to be exposed.

 After waiting for a day, nothing happened.

 As a result, when the princess came to the palace, she was blessed with double happiness and glory.

The Murong family was freed from the suspicion of murdering the princess, but the extra bones in the house also caused them trouble. Officials from Jingzhao House came to investigate from time to time, taking away this one and that one.

No official in Da Qin could withstand the investigation. Once investigated, they would find a lot of minor problems. As a result, Murong Shangshu's official position was revoked by the emperor and he was fined 90% of his family wealth. The emperor left 10% because he had been an official for many years and was kind-hearted, leaving it to him for his old age.

The vacant post of Minister of Rites, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were floating, and before they had time to fight for it, the emperor directly asked the emperor to bring up Du Consort and serve as the Minister of Rites.

That's not all. Another imperial edict arrived at the princess's residence.

The eldest princess originally wanted to wait until her son was crowned before entering the palace to apply for the title. Now that her son was only eighteen years old, the emperor issued an imperial edict to grant the title of county king.

 The title is Rui, and the land is Dujiajie.

As soon as this incident came out, the princess's mansion was crowded again.

 A wave of people who come to send congratulatory gifts.

 The chief steward took many people with him and recorded them one by one.

However, after hearing this, many people in the capital were wondering where Dujiajie was? More than 90% of the people in the capital have never heard of Dujiajie.

It is said that the emperor originally wanted to give the prosperous Ningcheng to Du Qian, but Du Qian refused and asked for Dujiajie instead.

Only the established aristocratic families in the city know that Dujiajie is the ancestral home of the Du family. Centered on the Dujia Village, the land within a radius of ten miles belongs to the Dujiajie, and 90% of it is mountains and wasteland.

 There are only a dozen villages there now, and tax revenue is limited.

 Some people will say that Du Qian is stupid, but some people know that Du Qian's move is very smart.

Du Qian wanted Dujiajie as a fiefdom.

 He was happy, and so was the emperor.

This kind of thing that can earn fame and win the favor of the emperor, why not do it.

Today, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

The Princess Mansion is bustling with activity.

The guards and servants in the mansion were all given extra food, and they were also rewarded with three months' worth of silver.

 Yulingyuan.

Du Wan was looking for something in her private warehouse.

I want to find two gifts to give to my cheap daddy and eldest brother as gifts.
