Chapter 331, Chips
The empress dowager intervened in the emperor's verbal beating. Even though there are still many rumors about the prince's liking for Shi Fuxin, the queen and the prince can't directly use their power to force Shi Fuxin and the Shi family to submit.
"Gu is reckless this time."
The crown prince rubbed his brows with a headache. He originally thought that as long as the news spread that he was interested in the daughter of the Shi family, the Shi family would send her to the East Palace. Who would have thought that he would attract the attention of the empress dowager and the emperor .
Wei Yichen looked at the prince, and said with a smile: "It's just a woman, Your Highness doesn't need to have too much headache."
Prince: "A woman is indeed not worth anything, but the news that Gu fell in love with Shi's daughter has already become known to everyone. If she doesn't get what she wants in the end, then Gu Ke will lose face."
Wei Yichen laughed again and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this at all. The woman you fancy, except the emperor, who would dare to compete with you."
"Now His Highness just needs to wait slowly. When the Shi family can't bear it anymore, they will naturally send the Shi family's daughter to the East Palace."
The prince also felt that no one would dare to rob him of a woman, so he talked about the eldest prince: "Boss seldom confronts Gu but this time he gave Gu eye drops in front of the emperor several times, is he unable to sit still? "
Wei Yichen also turned serious: "Your Highness forgot, the brothers of the Shi family have helped the eldest prince several times."
Hearing this, the prince frowned again, and once again felt that it was rash to spread the news that he had a crush on Shi's daughter.
Wuchang Bo Mansion is in decline, but brothers Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao should not be underestimated.
Although Shi Dingxuan was far away in the south of the chief arresting yamen, he had gained a firm foothold with his excellent skills and was officially promoted to the chief arresting office.
As for Shi Dinghao, although he is only the mouthpiece of his father, he is serving in front of the imperial court, and his daily words can still affect his father a little bit.
There is also their father, Shi Zhenghe, who I heard is highly valued by Uncle Duan Wang, and is now the commander of the Beicheng Bingma Division.
Thinking carefully about the Shi family's father and son's errands, the prince was surprised to find that he seemed to underestimate the Shi family.
Shi Dingxuan can cultivate influence in the south, and Shi Zhenghe can also make friends with all parties while maintaining the stability of the northern city. Although these are not very eye-catching, if they really persist for a few years, they will be a force that cannot be ignored.
Three father and son, one is responsible for the defense of the capital, one is cultivating power outside, and the other is accompanying the palace.
The key point is that the sixth girl of the Shi family is also very good at making money, and the third girl of the Shi family married into the government of Anguo.
The more the prince thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't think about it carefully before, but now he suddenly discovered that Shi Zhenghe's family is more capable than he thought.
"The six girls of the Shi family must enter the East Palace, and the boss cannot win over the Shi family."
He was also to blame. That day at the polo meeting in Prince Kung's Mansion, the Sixth Miss of the Shi Family disgraced her face. After she came back, she impulsively gave the order. She wanted to teach the Sixth Girl of the Shi Family a lesson, and let her know what Tianjia's prestige is.
The crown prince was silent for a while: "It's really not good for a daughter of the Shi family to enter the East Palace and not be given any status. I can only find a way to vacate a good position."
At the gate of Wuchangbo Mansion, Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao got into the carriage together.
As soon as the carriage started, Shi Dinghao looked at Shi Fuxin with a sad face: "Sister, are you going to see Gongsun Ming just like that?"
Shi Fuxin sighed: "I also want to take my time, but time waits for no one. I'm afraid that the queen and the crown prince will move out of the imperial power to force us."
"There have been more and more rumors and gossips in the past two days. If the prince uses this excuse to say that he is responsible for me, I will vomit to death. It is best to arrange the marriage in a few days."
Shi Dinghao felt hostile, gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, I will find the crown prince to deal with this bad breath."
Shi Fuxin looked at his younger brother: "Don't act impulsively, we don't need to do anything to the prince, and his brothers will not let him go." A glint flashed in his eyes, "How many princes can really sit on the throne through the ages?"
Shi Dinghao didn't answer the call, anyway, he made up his mind to find a chance to deal with the prince.
Soon, the siblings came to the restaurant they had made an appointment with Gongsun Ming.
On the second floor of the restaurant, Gongsun Ming stood by the window, looking thoughtfully at the two siblings who walked into the restaurant hand in hand, and he had some guesses about why they asked him out.
The reason why I was invited was also to see, amidst the rumors that the prince has a crush on the sixth girl of the Shi family in the capital, how could the sixth girl of the Shi family have the confidence to want to enter his Gongsun's house.
There was a knock on the door of the private room, Gongsun Ming immediately raised his smile, and watched Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao walk in with a smile.
The three of them greeted each other and took their seats.
After sitting down, none of the three spoke, and there was a bit of silence in the room.
Shi Dinghao looked at Shi Fuxin, he knew that he was here to accompany him today, so he immersed himself in drinking tea, and didn't care about the secret rivalry between her sister and Gongsun Ming.
Shi Fuxin saw that Gongsun Ming was drinking tea leisurely, and he didn't seem to take the initiative to speak at all. Thinking that she was at a disadvantage now, she had to be the first to speak out:
"I heard that Princess Qingyang was sick two days ago?"
Shi Fuxin: "Heart disease is not easy to treat, even if you take medicine to stabilize the condition, but after a long time, it will still lead to heart failure."
Gongsun Ming looked at her: "Miss Six knows my mother's condition very well."
Shi Fuxin was noncommittal, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun, have you heard of Sai Huatuo?"
Gongsun Ming, who was calm and composed a moment ago, immediately got excited when he heard the word Sai Huatuo, and blurted out to ask Shi Fuxin if he knew Sai Huatuo, but when he thought of the situation Shi Fuxin was facing, the words came to his lips Can't help but change.
"Of course I've heard of it. Sai Huatuo has superb medical skills. I don't know if there are many people in the capital."
After a pause, Gongsun Ming showed regret: "Unfortunately, since last year, Sai Hua Tuo hasn't seen many patients."
Shi Fuxin smiled, took off the purse at her waist, and took out a wooden sign, which happened to be engraved with the words 'Sai Hua Tuo'.
Gongsun Ming saw his heart beat faster.
Sai Huatuo's rules of receiving patients, he has already inquired clearly.
When Sai Huatuo first appeared in the capital, Sai Huatuo would give priority to those who paid more money to see a doctor, but it didn’t last long, and Sai Huatuo’s consultations depended entirely on his mood, and there were no rules at all.
However, one thing is certain is that as long as anyone who has obtained the wooden card of "Sai Huatuo" goes to Sai Huatuo Residence and leaves a message about seeing a doctor, he or she will receive a diagnosis and treatment afterwards.
Moreover, he also found out that Sai Huatuo had treated an old farmer for his heart disease two years ago. The old farmer was in his sixties.
Gongsun Ming just wanted to ask Shi Fuxin how the wooden sign came about, when he heard Shi Fuxin ask: "Mr. Gongsun is engaged?"
Gongsun Ming's excited heart instantly cooled down. Looking at Shi Fuxin, he was silent for a while, then shook his head: "No."
Shi Fuxin didn't write any ink, and asked directly: "What do you think of me, Master?"
Gongsun Ming admired Shi Fuxin's straightforwardness, and glanced at the 'Sai Huatuo' wooden sign, knowing her chips, and was indeed a little moved.
He doesn't dislike the sixth girl of the Shi family, but...
A beautiful figure appeared in Gongsun Ming's mind, he was silent for a while, and said: "I understand what Miss Shi Liu means, but my marriage is not something I can decide on my own."
Shi Fuxin was playing with the wooden sign, not missing the emotion in Gongsun Ming's eyes: "Of course, marriage is a big matter, and you must obey the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker."
When Dinghao saw that the two had almost talked, he immediately talked about something else with a smile, breaking the slightly stagnant atmosphere in the previous private room.
The three of them didn't stay long, drank a pot of tea, and left separately.
Out of the restaurant, Shi Dinghao and Shi Fuxin didn't go back home immediately, but went to the head office of Hongyanxiao.
"Sister, do you think Gongsun Ming will agree?" Shi Dinghao asked with some uncertainty.
Shi Fuxin shook her head: "I don't know." She was not sure in her heart.
Shi Dinghao hesitated for a moment: "What if he doesn't agree?"
Shi Fuxin: "Then find the next person."
Shi Dinghao just wanted to ask who else Shi Fuxin had his eyes on, but the beauty smiled, and the two entered the shop, and saw the prince and Wei Yichen sitting in the shop in ordinary clothes.
Seeing the two, Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao lost their smiles on their faces.
Not wanting to disturb other guests, Shi Fuxin took the prince and Wei Yichen up to the second floor, asked Shi Dinghao to greet Wei Yichen, and Shi Fuxin called the prince to the private room.
Before the prince could speak, Shi Fuxin said first: "Prince, it is not impossible to let me enter the East Palace, but I will not make a fool of others."
The prince frowned: "You know this is impossible."
Shi Fuxin: "If this is the case, then I will not be able to enter the East Palace."
The prince was silent, and said to Shi Fuxin in the tone of coaxing a concubine in the backyard: "I know you are proud, but I am a prince, and being my concubine is not the same as being someone else's concubine. humiliate you."
Shi Fuxin sneered and said, "If you're young, you'll be small, what's the difference?"
The prince was a little angry, but he still said patiently: "Miss Shiliu, your previous reputation has been discredited by the Liu family. A good family will not hire you as the wife."
Shi Fuxin: "I won't bother the prince to worry about this."
Seeing that she doesn't want to get in, the crown prince didn't want to talk nicely anymore, and said coldly: "You are the only one you like, do you think anyone else would dare to marry you?"
"Gu put the words here today, you can only enter the East Palace!"
