But according to Gu Gangqian's intuition, he felt that things could never be so simple.

He once suspected that Jiang Ruanyan had a background in the previous dynasty, but there was no evidence, so he couldn't speak.

Now that Xia Zhiyi reminded him like this, he suddenly thought that he had been digging deep like this with his own strength, and he didn't know when he would be able to dig out the truth of the matter.

When necessary, he has to rely on the power of his father.

Originally, it was of course easy to check the identity of a woman, but because of the relationship between Jiang Ruanyan and Gu Shenyuan, Gu Gangqian was inquiring, so he had to investigate secretly, and he couldn't attract anyone's attention.

Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to his father.

But now with Xia Zhiyi's words, he is more confident.

The identities of several people around Jiang Ruanyan have long aroused suspicion, and if he can make his father start to doubt as well, then things will be much easier.

Half an hour later, the black robe appeared at the door of the Xia Mansion again, didn't say anything, and quickly returned to the carriage.

The difference from the previous entry was that this time there was another black figure behind him.

The figure was petite and thin, and it was not as atmospheric as a man, and the guards guarding the door did not dare to speak out even if they saw the clues.

In the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a day of family reunion in traditional customs.

But because I have lived in the palace since I was a child, I have seen a lot of deceit.

Even if there are no officials fighting openly and secretly, those concubines will take this opportunity to do their best, just to make the emperor laugh.

Seeing more scenes like this, Gu Shenyuan felt more and more that these festivals were boring, and even began to hate them.

And this year he has a special headache, because Jiang Ruanyan was also invited this year.

Just a few days ago, the palace had already sent someone to inform him, in addition to letting Gu Shenyuan remember to return to the palace on time, he also notified Jiang Ruanyan by the way.

This year, because of the assistance to the victims and the influence of the Heart Pavilion among the people, the emperor specially invited Jiang Ruanyan into the palace to enjoy the moon with them.

It's a great honor.

It's nothing to change in normal times, but Gu Gangqian also returned to the palace at this time, which made Gu Shenyuan feel uneasy.

Unlike him, Jiang Ruanyan has been very excited since he received the notice.

Of course, it is a happy thing to be appreciated by the emperor, not to mention that the emperor wants to praise her this time because of the matter of the Heart Pavilion.

This industry founded by Jiang Ruanyan himself, can it not make people proud?

So Jiang Ruanyan had already started to imagine a few days before entering the palace.

After dinner that day, the two of them walked to Jiang Ruanyan's room to rest, Gu Shenyuan sat at the table and tasted tea, and Jiang Ruanyan chose clothes in front of the wardrobe.

"Hey, Shen Yuan, with the eyes of Your Highness, help me choose a dress, is this yellow or this vermilion better, or this pink is better?"

Jiang Ruanyan looked at the three sets of clothes hung in front of the shelf, these three sets of clothes were selected by her early in the morning, and asked Bingyue and Bai Ruoguan to help with reference.

However, the three of them expressed their own opinions, and their opinions were completely unanimous, and they couldn't make up their minds at all.

Taking advantage of Gu Shenyuan's free time today, Jiang Ruanyan moved it out again, wanting to ask Gu Shenyuan's opinion.

After all, attending court banquets is still his most experienced.

looked at each other with anticipation, but Gu Shenyuan said without raising his head, "It's all good." ”

This immediately aroused Jiang Ruanyan's dissatisfaction, "You haven't even seen it, why is it all right?" ”

Jiang softly pouted, "You have been sullen since you received the notice, isn't it a bit of a fuss?" ”

She reminded euphemistically, she was just going to the festival, not as serious as Gu Shenyuan thought.

After she made such a fuss, Gu Shenyuan took his eyes off the cup and raised his head, "I just think you look good in whatever you wear." ”

This has to be changed in normal times, Jiang Ruanyan is already smiling like a flower.

But now she could see his mind at a glance, obviously thinking about something else.

Jiang Ruanyan sat down at the table and held Gu Shenyuan's hand tightly.

"I know you don't like it, but isn't that something that can't be helped? You should take me into the palace for a visit, don't think about it so much. ”

Jiang Ruanyan's comfort was very intimate, but what Gu Shenyuan was worried about now was not just this boring banquet.

"Yanyan, this time, can you not go?" Gu Shenyuan asked tentatively.

He has been struggling with this question for a long time, and he never knows how to speak, so he will simply say it today.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Softan replied briskly, "Yes, unless you don't go, otherwise I will be lonely for the Mid-Autumn Festival alone." ”

Thinking about the time when the time comes, Bingyue will be accompanied by Xi Ze, Bai Ruoguan and Jiang Chen will snuggle together to admire the moon, and Jiang Qingjiang Temple can also sing about wine, leaving him alone, how pitiful.

And this time it was the emperor who had already sent out an invitation.

Although she can't sit with Gu Shenyuan, after all, she is also admiring the moon on the same occasion as Gu Shenyuan, if she refuses, it will be a big loss.

Gu Shenyuan pursed his lower lip, "You know I have to enter the palace." ”

He seemed very embarrassed, he didn't go on other occasions, but this time Gu Gangqian came back, he never entered the palace, what he was afraid of was that suddenly entering the palace would be too abrupt and would attract Gu Gangqian's attention.

If he doesn't go to the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, it will be a missed opportunity.

There is no way to find out Gu Gangqian's purpose, it will be a very dangerous thing.

But Jiang Ruanyan misunderstood the meaning here, and she replied with a smile, "Of course I know." ”

What she was thinking in her heart was that Gu Shenyuan, as the emperor's son, was also a popular candidate for the prince now, if she didn't go, how many people would have to be in a hurry? How many people are frightened?

So it's impossible for Gu Shenyuan not to be there, she was joking with Gu Shenyuan just now.

"Then let me follow you into the palace, so that we can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."

She held Gu Shenyuan's hand and smiled very sweetly.

Gu Shenyuan wanted her smile like this to be fixed on her face forever.

Seeing that he had said so much, Gu Shenyuan was still frowning, and Jiang Ruanyan made another guess.

"I see, you must be thinking about what you told me before, right?"

Gu Shenyuan was stunned, he didn't know what Jiang Ruanyan was referring to.

As a result, Jiang Ruanyan reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I won't force you to admit my identity, I know that our identities are very special now, and we will talk about it when you think it's time to announce it."

When she said this moment, Gu Shenyuan understood that Jiang Ruanyan was talking about her identity as a quasi-princess.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Jiang Ruanyan lowered his head shyly, hiding a trace of loss in his heart.

She knew what the actual situation was, but she also looked forward to the day when Gu Shenyuan could hold her hand and announce her openly in front of everyone that she was her only princess.

She didn't expect Gu Shenyuan to do this at the Mid-Autumn Festival, but when she saw him worried about this, she inevitably felt a little sad in her heart.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Gu Shenyuan held her hand instead.

"That's what you decided to say?" Jiang Ruanyan looked at Gu Shenyuan expectantly.

The person on the other side looked even more embarrassed.

After being silent for two seconds, Gu Shenyuan spoke, "I promise you, I will definitely tell the world that you are my only princess in the future, but now can you promise me first, you don't go to this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet." ”

"Why?" Jiang Ruanyan withdrew her hand, she was really a little angry now.

After talking about it for a long time, Gu Shenyuan didn't even tell her the reason, and kept persuading her not to go to this banquet.

Could it be that appearing in front of the royal family at the same time with her really made him so embarrassed?

"Because Gu Gangqian is back." Gu Shenyuan said firmly.

He didn't want to talk so much to Jiang Ruanyan, but if he didn't say it now, her little head would keep guessing, and it was not a way to go on like this.

"Gu Gangqian is back, so what? Hasn't he already been to Biansai? Your father should be able to remember him. ”

Jiang Ruanyan knew before that this Gu Gangqian was doing.

Because she took the lead in approaching the victims who entered the city, helped the emperor solve the big trouble in his heart, and helped the people to grab the first credit, which made Gu Gangqian very unhappy.

So soon after that, Gu Gangqian took the initiative to petition to go to Biansai, and it was said that he performed very well, and the emperor was very happy to come back this time.

Since Gu Gangqian's own purpose has been achieved, then it can be said that there is no hatred or grudge between the two of them, and there is nothing to do with each other.

Why did Gu Shenyuan use him as a reason not to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival?

"He went, but he didn't just go to inspect the military situation, as far as I know, he investigated a lot of things about you under this guise."

Jiang Ruanyan was angry, and he didn't think about it.

"So what? I've grown up in this land since I was a child, and I've never done anything to endanger the family or rebel over the years, what can he do with me? ”

Gu Shenyuan lowered his voice, "You should know very well what will happen if he finds out your true identity?" ”

He hoped that this would calm Jiang Ruanyan down. But what he didn't take into account was that Jiang Ruanyan was now concerned about another thing.

"Having said so much, I understand that my identity is very special and I am not worthy of being with your Second Highness."

"Yanyan, you know I didn't mean that, I want to protect you." Gu Shenyuan explained to himself bitterly.

"Then you stood in front of me when something happened, and didn't let me go to the banquet to hide me, what is this?"

Jiang Ruanyan still felt sad in his heart.

"I don't understand, I went to Biansai and suffered so much before, and finally came back to reunite with my family in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn't have a good holiday, and I tried my best to find my stubble, is his head abnormal?"

Jiang was angry, and his tone was abnormal.

"Why did he go to Biansai if he had this mind? Isn't it good to come straight to my stubble? Do you have to do this work? ”

Gu Shenyuan regretted opening this mouth, and now he can't take it back.

"Yanyan, you believe me, don't go to this Mid-Autumn Festival, and then you can enter the palace whenever you want."

Of course Jiang Ruanyan was unwilling.

But if she enters the palace and removes her, she is the emperor, and even if the emperor praises her at that time, how will others know?

Of course, it is this kind of big occasion to accept the emperor's praise that is the most proud.
