Chapter 169: The Insider

A lot will indeed happen when entering the palace this time.

There is a difference between men and women, and it is inconvenient for him to be by Yu'er's side all the time. The one who can always be by Yu'er's side and have the wit to resolve the crisis for her is none other than Ye Qinglan. Therefore, he deliberately bowed his head to show weakness and brought Ye Qinglan to the mansion. The main purpose is to enter the palace this time......

Ye Qinglan had already seen his dark and deep side, and at this time she was very calm, and even pulled out a shallow smile, and asked very politely, "Does Cousin Gu have anything else to say?" If not, I'll go back and rest. ”

That being said, it didn't move. It is clear that he wants to use such a move to force Gu Xinian to tell the truth - if not all of it, at least part of it has to be said.

After a moment of stalemate, Gu Xinian finally gave in slightly: "This time when I enter the palace, my aunt will summon Yu'er alone." will also quietly arrange for her to meet with the sister-in-law of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion. ”

The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong? Ye Qinglan was confused when she heard it.

She has not traveled to this place for half a year, and she has been circling around the mansion all day long, and she doesn't know much about the noble family in the capital. At present, what is known is Changyuan Boye Mansion, Dingguo Mansion, Zheng Guo Mansion, British Mansion, and Cui Mansion. What's going on with this Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion?

However, Gu Xinian's words have revealed an extremely important information. Empress Gu seems to be intent on giving Gu Xiyu to the concubine of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion......

Sure enough, Gu Xinian said lightly: "The name of the Marquis of Zhongyong is Shen Ming. At that time, he was just a general, and he fought in the south and the north, and made great contributions. The emperor specially rewarded him and named him a hereditary loyal and brave marquis. It can be called the head of the military generals of this dynasty. This person has excellent martial arts and is rough by nature, but he is coarse and fine, and he is loyal, and he is very valued by the emperor. ”

With such a powerful figure holding military power, it is natural for Queen Gu to actively win over. It stands to reason. The son-in-law of the Marquis of Zhongyong is barely qualified to match Gu Xiyu, but Gu Xinian is so resolute in rejecting ......

"Is there anything wrong with Shen Ming's sister-in-law of the Marquis of Zhongyong?" Ye Qinglan asked tentatively.

Talking to smart people really saves effort.

Gu Xinian thought so in his heart, but he refused to praise half a sentence in his mouth. He continued: "Shen Ming has been fighting outside, empty under his knees, and it was not until he was forty years old that he had a son, named Shen Chang'an. It means that a sound of peace and smoothness. It's a pity that it backfired, this Shen Changan has not been very restless since he was a child, reckless and impulsive, brave and ruthless, and unlearned. Shen Ming was furious. So he sent him to the army and became a little centurion, wanting to hone his temperament......"

As a result, Shen Changan's temperament has been sharpened and calmer. But he was wounded in a war. Moreover, the scar was unfortunately on the face. After the originally handsome face was broken, the aristocratic ladies had to sigh and sigh a few words when they mentioned Shen Chang'an, sympathy was sympathy, but no one was willing to marry their baby daughter to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion. One comes and goes. Shen Changan became an older unmarried young man.

"How old is he?" Ye Qinglan interjected curiously and asked.

A woman is a woman, always concerned with these small and insignificant details. Gu Xinian replied a little impatiently: "Twenty." ”

Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows, suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes.

It's a shame that he dislikes people as older unmarried young people, and he doesn't want to think about himself, isn't he twenty years old this year?

Gu Xinian has always been calm. Ye Qinglan's little teasing and mockery didn't anger him. It's just that I feel a little inexplicably unhappy in my heart, but somehow. An unexpected sentence suddenly burst out of his mouth: "I got married at the age of seventeen in my previous life." As soon as the words came out, I regretted it.

What happened in his previous life was just a painful memory of him alone. The moment he woke up from his rebirth, he made up his mind to keep this secret in his heart forever and never let anyone know. These four years. And he did. Even if he is as close as his parents and sister, he didn't reveal a word.

But what's going on now? How could he talk about this to a girl who was almost unfamiliar?

Gu Xinian's gaffe and frustration in an instant were all seen by Ye Qinglan, and his mind spun quickly. Gu Xi's relatives became seventeen years old in his previous life, and that woman could never be Shen Qiuyu. So who will it be? Why didn't he marry another wife in his life?

Ye Qinglan's curiosity simply swelled to the peak, but unfortunately, Gu Xinian had quickly recovered as usual, and it was obvious that he would never continue on the topic just now.

Forget it, I'll have a chance to test it slowly in the future. The most important thing now is to understand what will happen when you enter the palace in half a month.

Ye Qinglan thought about it and asked bluntly: "Later, did Cousin Xiyu marry this Shen Changan?" ”

Gu Xinian smiled coldly: "Of course it's impossible." "With him, how can he let his baby sister marry such a vulgar and broken martial artist?

"I don't understand what Cousin Gu said." Ye Qinglan asked sharply: "Since Cousin Xiyu will not marry Shen Changan at all, why are you so nervous?" ”

Gu Xinian said expressionlessly: "Although Yu'er didn't marry him, he has always been unrelenting to Yu'er, and even threatened everywhere that she would not marry." Yu'er was already introverted and cowardly, and later refused to even leave the house. Until he was nineteen years old, he never married! ”

Nineteen? Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed, and she caught a sensitive word again. She is thoughtful and good at reasoning. Gu Xinian's unintentional words made her immediately give birth to a long list of speculations.

Gu Xiyu never married in her previous life until she was nineteen years old...... After the age of nineteen, what is Gu Xiyu's fate? Is it married, or

Ye Qinglan, who was immersed in reasoning, had bright starry eyes and a shiny little face, which was like the low-key girl who pretended to be on weekdays.

Perhaps, this is her true face!

Gu Xinian thought quietly, opened his mouth and said: "My aunt wants Yu'er to marry Shen Chang'an, so she will take advantage of this opportunity for Yu'er to enter the palace and deliberately arrange for the two to 'meet by chance'." What you have to do is to stay by Yu'er's side all the time and don't let Yu'er be alone. "Even if Shen Changan still appears, with Ye Qinglan by her side, Yu'er will not be as frightened as in her previous life.

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Ye Qinglan no longer shirked, and nodded happily.

Gu Xinian was still uneasy, and told again: "If you really meet Shen Chang'an, you try to protect Yu'er as much as possible, don't let that reckless martial artist scare Yu'er." ”

Hearing this, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt a little funny, and teased not very politely: "Yes, yes, as long as he appears, I will stand in front of Cousin Xiyu." ”

In his heart, except for his sister, other women don't matter! I was only worried about whether Gu Xiyu would be frightened, but I didn't expect that she was also a delicate woman?

Gu Xinian was rarely dumbfounded. However, he quickly reacted and made a faint promise: "As long as you can protect Yu'er's safety, I will naturally help you once in the future." ”

Ye Qinglan's eyes suddenly lit up: "A gentleman's word!" ”

"It's hard to chase a horse!" Gu Xinian's very fast interface.

"Deal!" Ye Qinglan's eyes were shining, and her smile was sweet and moving. I secretly calculated in my heart that such a good opportunity could not be wasted. In the future, it must be taken out at the most critical moment!

Gu Xinian seemed to see what Ye Qinglan was thinking, pulled the corners of his lips, and turned to Gu Xiyu. Ye Qinglan automatically and spontaneously kept a distance of more than two meters from him.

Gu Xiyu's feet were soft, and when the two of them finally finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Why have you been talking for so long?" ”

"Nothing." Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan invariably spoke at the same time to appease Gu Xiyu, and then glanced at each other without a trace, and they were silent.

This tacit understanding is too good! Gu Xiyu blinked, and suddenly smiled: "It's not too early, let's go back to the Cold Moon Pavilion." Big brother, you should also have a good rest. ”

Gu Xinian's eyes looked at Gu Xiyu very gently: "Okay, Yu'er also have a good rest, I have to learn the rules from Mama Rong tomorrow, don't be too tired of yourself." ”

Gu Xiyu smiled and nodded.

After returning to the Cold Moon Pavilion, Ye Qinglan briefly freshened up, changed into a soft middle coat, and then sat on the edge of the bed, carefully combing through the conversation with Gu Xinian tonight from beginning to end.

Queen Gu wanted to give Gu Xiyu to Shen Chang'an, naturally for the sake of the prince. The three princes are in the limelight, and the holy family is thick, faintly overshadowing the prince. Empress Gu was full of worries in her heart, so she wanted to win the support of the military generals of the court and China for the crown prince. Shen Ming, the Marquis of Zhongyong, is naturally the best candidate. And marriage has always been the best means of alliance and wooing.

However, this Queen Gu is too unkind. Knowing that Shen Changan is a vulgar martial artist, the older Gu Xiyu is seven years old, and he has broken his appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good match. actually had the idea of marrying Gu Xiyu to Shen Changan.

It is conceivable that if Empress Gu spoke directly to Mrs. Zheng about this matter, with Mrs. Zheng's love for Gu Xiyu, it would be impossible to agree to this family business. Therefore, Queen Gu deliberately took the opportunity of the birthday banquet to let Gu Xiyu enter the palace. Then quietly arranged for Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu to meet.

Not to mention whether the two can fall in love with each other at first sight, as long as the two of them have the opportunity to be alone, Gu Xiyu's reputation will be gone. When the time comes, Queen Gu will come forward to say goodbye again, and this family business will naturally be almost the same. When Gu Xiyu married into the Shen Mansion, the prince had another force to support. It's enough to suppress the limelight of the three princes!

Queen Gu really had a good idea. However, Shen Chang'an in his previous life failed to do so, and with Gu Xinian, who is familiar with Yiqiē in this life, the possibility of success in this matter is even smaller.

Although she hadn't seen the famous Queen Gu yet, she had no good impression of this Queen Gu based on this incident alone......

Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open with a babble.
