In the study, Gu Hanzhang wrote a letter and handed it to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng walked out with the letter and met Zhaocai at the door. The two of them nodded slightly when they met.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has taken those two people in," Zhaocai said as he entered the door.
Gu Hanzhang put down his pen casually, his expression unchanged.
"Where is the arrangement?"
"My servant has already asked. The imperial concubine arranged for Lan Xin and Lan Cao to sweep in the yard and did not allow them to enter the inner room."
After hearing this, Gu Hanzhang didn't say much and got back to business.
"Go to the Ministry of Justice and bring me the files sent to Dali Temple yesterday."
Zhaocai nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Gu Hanzhang joined the Ministry of Justice last year, but due to his age, even though he had the status of Zhenbei Houfu, he only had a false position. Everyone did not take this prince seriously, thinking that he was just here to be plated with gold.
In the beginning, Gu Hanzhang really didn't show much, and he didn't even take care of things at all. He had nothing to do except drink tea all day long.
The people in the Criminal Department were unwilling to delegate power, and Gu Hanzhang knew it and was not in a hurry, but he had no choice but to respond.
Until a tragedy occurred in Youai Village, and a family of six died tragically.
This matter was originally an unsolved case, and the police investigated for a long time without any results. When Dali Temple was in a panic, they happened to meet Gu Hanzhang and Cheng Feng passing by Youai Village.
Later, Gu Hanzhang looked for clues and solved the unsolved case. Later, whenever people in Dali Temple encountered troublesome cases, they would subconsciously look for Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang has been resting for the past few days, so the files from Dali Temple had to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment first, and he would make plans after Gu Hanzhang returned to the Ministry of Punishment.
Gu Hanzhang originally didn't intend to read the file, but he accidentally got some news that was related to the prince behind them, so he asked Zhaocai to get it.
It is also for this reason that the letter Qin Feng sent just now was delivered to Cheng Feng.
Gu Hanzhang stood in front of the window, opposite Chaoli's house.
At this moment, the windows of that room were closed, which made him couldn't help but think of Chao Li's angry behavior after their eyes met.
I don't know why, but this obviously very rude behavior seemed to make the thread in Gu Hanzhang's heart waver slightly.
Just when Gu Hanzhang was about to take a rest, he suddenly saw a plate of grapes placed on the table.
It is winter in Daqi now, so these grapes are not from Daqi, but are tribute from Xifan.
The emperor was very concerned about the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so he rewarded some of these grapes to the Hou Mansion. However, since the quantity was not large, it was only available in the courtyard of Princess Desao and Gu Hanzhang.
The old marquis Gu Yuan didn't like eating these things, so his portion was given to Gu Hanzhang to eat.
"Here comes someone."
Hearing Gu Hanzhang's voice, a boy stood at the door.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Gu Hanzhang looked calm and said, "Send this plate of grapes to the Crown Princess and tell her to apologize."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The young man was actually very confused. After all, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were only separated by a pond. Even if they spoke louder, the other party could hear them.
If the prince really offends the prince's concubine, wouldn't it be better to send her there himself?
After thinking about it, he attributed this to the prince's thin skin.
In fact, it was not the case. It was not that Gu Hanzhang was embarrassed to go, but that he didn't want to see Chaoli's cold eyes.
As for why he didn't want to, Gu Hanzhang didn't intend to go into details.
In everything, the overall situation is the most important thing, and the personal affairs of his children should not hinder him.
On the other side, when the grapes were placed on Chaoli's table, complexity flashed in her eyes.
Gu Hanzhang is not picky about food, and he was not particularly fond of fruits in the past. Grapes are one of the rare fruits that he is passionate about.
Chao Li had seen the grapes in front of him in his previous life. They were tribute from Xifan.
Of course, in her previous life, she had eaten it half a year after her marriage, but it was at a palace banquet, and it was not brought to her by Gu Hanzhang.
It took two years until Gu Hanzhang gave her some grapes.
I didn't expect that Gu Hanzhang would send this full plate over today, and he didn't keep any for himself?
Also, the two words he asked the boy to tell: apology.
Are you sorry for misunderstanding that she is not Chaoli, or are you sorry for letting down her full love in the past?
"Miss, from what I can see, the prince doesn't treat you that badly." Qing Yi interrupted Chaoli's confusion.
Chaoli came back to his senses and shook his head.
"He just thinks of me as the eldest concubine of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but these grapes are really a rare item." Chaoli smiled.
"By the way, miss, I just went to Shaohua Garden. Madam told me to prepare in advance. Mrs. Guo, the mother of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, will celebrate her 70th birthday in five days. She asked me not to lose the face of the Hou Mansion." Qing Yi curled her lips and said.
In the eyes of Princess Dessau, there is nothing wrong with her own young lady. If the Queen Mother had not granted her a marriage, she would probably not be willing to take her out.
It's just a matter of going out. I don't want to lose the face of the Hou family. I just look down on the young lady's status and think that the young lady's etiquette is not enough when she comes out of a small family.
It's really annoying. Princess Dessau is not very polite. She looks like she has eyes on her head.
Chaoli paused for a moment, thinking of that birthday banquet.
Speaking of which, the person Gu Hanzhang has in mind will also go.
In her previous life, when she attended this birthday banquet, she didn't know that Gu Hanzhang's sweetheart was her. When she saw her talking to her in a gentle voice, she thought she was a boudoir lady who was easy to get along with.
As a result, she came to talk to her on purpose and to test the relationship between her and Gu Hanzhang.
Thinking of her, Chao Li felt disdainful.
On the surface, he pretends to be gentle and kind, but in reality he is ruthless.
Thinking about this, Chaoli couldn't help but feel a little funny.
I don’t know if Gu Hanzhang is too outstanding or for some other reason. There are really all kinds of people who like him.
The only difference is that there is someone living in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."
After attending the birthday party, it was time to manage her shop.
I will leave the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in a year, and it will be difficult to return to the so-called home of the Chao Mansion at that time. I might as well start my own business.
If she wants to do this, she must manage the shop where she was married.
Not long after, I remembered the sound of orchid grass outside the door.
"Prince Princess, the concierge sent you a letter, saying it was from the imperial court."
Chaoli didn't reply, Qing Yi walked out directly and took the letter in.
In fact, even without opening the letter, Chaoli knew who wrote it and what was written in the letter.
Opening the letter, it turned out to be Chao Lu's handwriting.
"Miss, didn't you just come back? Why did you send a letter back to the mansion? What's the matter?" Qing Yi asked with some confusion.
It's really strange. If you have something to do, you can't tell me at home, but today I sent you a letter specifically.
