The situation in Jiangnan was urgent, and Prince Jing set off on the second day after receiving the holy decree, and after a while, Princess Jing sent her grandmother to send a famous post to King Rui's mansion. said that she asked people to make a lotus banquet, but Prince Jing went out temporarily, and there were few people in the house, so she asked Gu Qingwan to come and talk to her.

There is a bay of pond water in the west of King Jing's mansion, Princess Jing loves lotus alone, and a pond of lotus flowers is planted in that pool. Xu is that the lotus flower is about to bloom at this time, so he is willing to pick it to make a lotus feast.

It's just that Emperor Yufeng's body is getting worse and worse, and Prince Jing was sent to Jiangnan at this juncture, Princess Jing is very interested, and now she has nine points less. Gu Qingwan felt strange, and she had to ask the grandmother a few more words.

The grandmother who came to pass the word was surnamed Jiang, who was originally a maid next to Mrs. Xiao, and later became Princess Jing's nurse, and she went to King Jing's mansion with Princess Jing as a companion, and was very reused by Princess Jing.

Such an old lady is Gu Qingwan who also wants to treat her politely, so she asked Guiye to serve tea and met her in the flower hall.

Mama Jiang has a kind face, and when she sees people, she smiles and looks like a good person. When Gu Qingwan saw her salute, she gave her a handful, and Mama Jiang laughed again: "It's the princess who is sympathetic to the old slave, this gift cannot be abolished, and the ceremony cannot be abolished."

"Please also ask Mama Jiang, did the imperial sister-in-law invite me alone, or did she invite the ladies in the clan separately." Gu Qingwan only left Guiye alone to serve in the flower hall, and the few maids brought by Mama Jiang were brought out by Baotian and Jin Hai.

Mama Jiang laughed: "Our princess explained before she came, if Princess Rui asked about this, she said that she only invited Princess Rui to eat alone." Besides, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet in more than half a month, and the ladies in the clan may be very busy, even if our princess wants to invite them, I am afraid that it will delay them. ”

This is very interesting, Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and then said: "I just asked casually, I heard that the lotus flowers in Jingwangfu are very beautiful, and I was thinking about going to watch them before the flowering period, but some time ago, Princess Rihuai took me and the ladies in the clan to walk around, but it was not idle for a while." I also asked Mama Jiang to tell the imperial sister-in-law, and said that I would definitely arrive the day after tomorrow. ”

Mama Jiang's eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile: "The princess's words, the old slave must be brought." ”

Seeing that Gu Qingwan let people serve the sweet soup to relieve the heat, Jiang Mama also said that she should go back, Gu Qingwan only asked Guiye to personally send her out of the second door, and then turned around and asked Baotian to go to the outer courtyard to invite Zheng Rui back to Wanjuan Hall.

From the beginning of the dispute in the court over the officials sent to Jiangnan to supervise the salt administration, Zheng Rui stayed in the outer courtyard during the day, but in order to hide people's eyes, he only said that Gu Qingwan was angry and punished him to go to the study of the outer courtyard to copy books.

It stands to reason that Prince Jing and Zheng Rui are the same mother, she should be very close to Princess Jing, but Gu Qingwan's wedding has been more than five months since her wedding, except for entering the palace on the fifteenth day of the first month to talk to Queen Chen, she has only seen Princess Jing a few times in private.

One was to take her into the palace on the second day of the wedding, and once when the lord of Zhaoyun County invited the ladies of the clan to visit the garden to enjoy the flowers, the most recent time was to deal with Zou Simin's funeral. In the past, Princess Jing lived in a simple house just because Prince Jing was not powerful, but now that Princess Jing has been recorded in the name of Queen Chen, she is still so obscure, which is a little intriguing.

However, Princess Jing invited her to speak alone at this time, I am afraid that the drunkard does not mean to drink

When Zheng Rui came in, Gu Qingwan was holding her hands and cheeks, thinking about it, and Zheng Rui's steps were light, and it wasn't until he walked up to him that Gu Qingwan suddenly came back to his senses.

"I was in a daze, I looked at Bao Tian's hurried appearance, and I thought something was wrong and rushed over first." Zheng Rui glanced at the tea cup in front of Gu Qingwan, and stretched out his hand to change it to himself.

Gu Qingwan noticed Zheng Rui's movements, and said angrily: "Isn't there still an empty cup, why do you always like to scoop me." ”

"Your tea is cooling." Zheng Rui said justifiably, and touched the tea in the teapot again, "It's still hot here, and I burned my tongue when I drank it." ”

Gu Qingwan was suddenly a little angry: "You speak seriously." ”

Zheng Rui's eyes blinked, and he smiled: "I used to talk like this, Qing, and you didn't dislike me before." Qingwan: To be honest, you're still mad at me. ”

"I've said it several times, no, no, I can't be angry about something like this." Gu Qingwan was blocked by Zheng Rui and looked a little angry, "This matter is big or small, if it is rumored to be out, it is possible to sentence you to a crime of bullying." If it were me, I wouldn't have confessed to you. ”

"If you don't confess to me, I'll be angry." Zheng Rui said in a sullen voice.

Gu Qingwan took a deep breath and hurriedly changed the topic: "Princess Fang Cai asked Mama Jiang to come here, saying that she invited me to King Jing's mansion to enjoy the flowers the day after tomorrow." Gu Qingwan glanced at Zheng Rui's expression, and said, "Only I was invited." ”

Zheng Rui's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he smiled: "The imperial sister-in-law already knows about me, besides, the third brother went to Jiangnan in a hurry this time, and she must have not had time to explain many things to her, so she was a little uneasy in her heart." ”

"The matter of King Jing is ······" Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes and thought about it, but she was afraid that she would ask the key point, and she had to interrupt herself, "I have already received Princess Jing's post, and I will go and take a look early the day after tomorrow." ”

Zheng Rui nodded, seeing Gu Qingwan's appearance of not asking, but touched her head with a smile: "If you want to ask, just say it, husband and wife are honest, you see, I have reformed myself." ”

Gu Qingwan tilted her head, and then said: "I'm afraid that this matter of King Jing is a little strange." ”

To supervise the salt administration in Jiangnan, Emperor Yufeng can send Qin to Jiangnan. Moreover, after Emperor Yufeng came back from the palace, his body was good and bad, if there was anything at this time, King Jing was out of reach in Jiangnan, and it was naturally out of disadvantage when competing for the throne.

Emperor Yufeng also sent the former prince to Jiangnan to supervise the salt administration, but at this juncture, he transferred the prince Jing out of Beijing, I don't know if it was to sharpen him, or to clear the obstacles for the prince Ke. Besides, supervising the salt administration is a major matter, and the decision on the selection must be made after consulting with the cabinet ministers, but there is no news from King Huai.

No matter how you think about it, you can see the dark tide surging below.

Zheng Rui's eyes suddenly sharpened, and when he looked at Gu Qingwan, he smiled a little: "The Xu Yuan of the Tai Hospital sent the news a few days before the third brother left Beijing, and he has run out of oil, so I'm afraid he won't last long." ”

The "he" in Zheng Rui's words naturally refers to Emperor Yufeng.
