[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 360 Falling in love with the male protagonist's "golden finger" 4

Gu Hongying's mother died early, and he was raised by the concubine dowager.

However, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and the Dowager Concubine is not the Empress Dowager, so her status is not comparable to that of Rongfei, Defei and others.

Therefore, even if the three princes were of similar age and had to start discussing marriages, Gu Hongyao and Gu Hongyuan, who had their mothers arranging the arrangements, were naturally not comparable to Gu Hongying.

If Gu Hongying wants to marry a wife he likes, he can only rely on himself.

For this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, considering that the three princes were going to discuss marriage, after reporting to Emperor Qianqing, the palace specially invited the legitimate daughters of officials of the second rank and above to enter the palace to attend the banquet.

If handled properly, it could attract the attention of some noble ladies, which would definitely be a good thing for Gu Hongying.

Even if no one is interested in him, this incident will damage Gu Hongyao and Gu Hongyuan's image in the outside world and create some obstacles for their marriage proposal.

Su Jiu did not hesitate to speculate Gu Hongying with the greatest malice.

But she felt that Gu Hongying had made a stupid move.

He is too impatient.

At present, Gu Hongying is just an ordinary prince without the influence of his mother's family. He has not participated in politics and has not started a family. According to the rule of the Dasha Dynasty that the princes should leave the palace and build their own residences at the age of 20, he will have to live in the palace for at least four years.

With nothing of her own, she stubbornly bumped into Concubine Rong and Concubine De, who had been operating in the palace for many years, and also offended Concubine Xian, who was hosting the Mid-Autumn Banquet. This was definitely not a good choice.

Su Ji guessed with glee that Gu Hongying was probably in trouble.

Just as Su Ji thought, Gu Hongying had indeed not had a good time these days.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he found out the whereabouts of the noble ladies in advance, and found the right time to deliberately provoke Gu Hongyao and Gu Hongyuan, causing them to beat people up in public in order to destroy their image and win sympathy for himself.

Unexpectedly, the young lady of the Shangguan family was frightened to faint.

Now that was bad, Emperor Qianqing directly put the three of them under house arrest and did not allow them to come out until they had copied the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times, which made many of his subsequent plans go to waste.

"Tell me, why are you so impulsive?!"

Concubine Chen looked at Gu Hongying with a gloomy face, her tone full of disappointment.

"How many times have I told you to be cautious, cautious, and cautious? Why can't you remember?" Concubine Liu paced back and forth in the room. "How can you defeat the three of them and successfully ascend the throne if you're like this?"

"Alright, alright," Concubine Feng tried to smooth things over. "Ying'er has already realized the problem, so stop complaining!"

As soon as Emperor Qianqing ascended the throne, he stuffed all the concubines of the previous emperor into the Ciming Palace. Dozens of women lived in the same palace, and they could touch each other's buttocks when they turned around.

Concubine Chen, Concubine Liu and Concubine Feng were the concubines of the late emperor.

After Gu Hongying's mother passed away, Emperor Qianqing was worried about who to send him to for upbringing. Upon hearing the news, Concubine Chen and the other two volunteered to share the emperor's worries.

Emperor Qianqing did not want to upset the existing balance in the harem. In addition, he had no feelings for Gu Hongying's mother. Concubines Hui, Rong and De, who did not want to increase their rivals, were intentionally or unintentionally instigating trouble.

In the end, after careful consideration, Emperor Qianqing decided to send the child and his servants to Ciming Palace to be raised by the three concubines.

In this way, he can also demonstrate his filial piety to the late emperor.

Look, after you left, Dad, I was so good to the concubines you left behind. That shows how filial I am!

Afterwards, in order to make the three concubines who raised the children live more comfortably, all the other concubines of the late emperor were sent out of the palace.

It can be said that Gu Hongying's arrival greatly improved the quality of life of the three concubines.

As the male protagonist of the novel, Gu Hongying is definitely a handsome man, apart from anything else.

Although the three concubines adopted Gu Hongying with their own purposes, after seeing the delicate and sweet-spoken Gu Hongying, they began to fall in love with her over time.

Although they had ordinary family backgrounds and no children, and were all "past tense", they had at least become concubines in the previous emperor's dynasty, so naturally they had their own unique methods.

So when Gu Hongying proposed to find a suitable wife for himself, Concubine Liu used her secret connections to create an opportunity for Gu Hongying to go to the Imperial Garden.

They didn't dare to covet the daughter of an important official like the Shangguan family who was favored by the emperor, but with Gu Hongying's ability and status, it was still possible to find a daughter of a minister.

For example, the Liu family, the Minister of Revenue, has a second daughter of marriageable age.

In their opinion, Gu Hongying was so good-looking that as long as he put a little effort, it would be no problem for him to seduce a noble lady who was kept in seclusion.

Who would have thought that Gu Hongying would be so stubborn as to set a trap for Gu Hongyao and Gu Hongyuan and cause such a thing.

"Can you please use your brain and think about it carefully? This is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and many important ministers are gathered here. You princes represent the face of the royal family! You are making trouble at this critical moment. Aren't you slapping the emperor and the virtuous concubine in the face?" Concubine Liu was so angry that she was about to die.

"Sister Liu is right," Concubine Feng sighed, "Ying'er, what exactly do you think?"

Gu Hongying stammered, but finally lowered her head and remained silent.

He had originally planned on doing something good. He would first create an accidental encounter with Miss Liu Er to leave an impression on her, and then use Gu Hongyao and Gu Hongyuan to show some weakness in front of her to elicit her sympathy.

Women are all like this. They will feel sympathy when they see kittens and puppies, let alone a talented and handsome man like him.

But who would have thought that those two idiots would be so rude that they frightened the young lady of the Shangguan family to the point of fainting.

Gu Hongying couldn't help but curse Shangguan Feiyun in his heart for being useless. So many noble ladies were fine, but she was the only one who was timid and fainted, causing his plan to fail.

Thinking of the hundred recitations of the Book of Filial Piety, Gu Hongying couldn't stop the anger in his heart.

However, he was usually good at making funny faces, and when he saw the three angry concubines, he knelt down quickly.

"Three grandmothers, it's Ying'er's fault..." Gu Hongying choked up, "You can hit me or scold me if you want, but please don't get yourself hurt by getting so angry..."

After saying that, he slapped himself hard several times, and redness and swelling immediately appeared on his fair face.

Seeing this, Concubine Feng hurried over to stop him, holding his face and asking distressedly, "What are you doing?"

Gu Hongying secretly took Concubine Feng's hand and gently touched the palm of her hand with her lips. Her eyes were full of tenderness, but she was still begging for mercy.

Concubine Feng was startled and quickly turned sideways to block the view of the other two people, her face flushed.

Concubine Liu was about to stand up, but when she saw Concubine Feng coming over to stop Gu Hongying's "self-abuse", she sat back on the stool.

She didn't notice the quarrel between the two men, and rubbed her temples with her eyes closed: "Now that things have come to this, we can only wait for them to make a move!"

Concubine Chen said nothing, but she keenly noticed that the atmosphere between Gu Hongying and Concubine Feng was not right.

That night, Concubine Liu took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to Concubine Feng: "That child has always been close to you, go and comfort him!"

Concubine Feng nodded and went out with the ointment.
