Cui Jinyuan walked all the way to the side hall, and the palace people on the road saw her respectfully greetings.

After the lesson of Du Ruo's incident last time, the palace people knew that she would become the favorite concubine of His Royal Highness, and now there is no way to stop her.

Some clever palace people have already changed their words, and they called "Miss Cui" one by one, which made Cui Jinyuan full of joy. After all, she is a person who is used to staying in Fengyue Field, and she has seen a lot of things about worshipping high and stepping on low, and she is still very useful for these flattering and flattering behaviors in the palace, and it also strengthens her idea of marrying Gu Huaijin.

Cui Jinyuan gently opened the door of Aunt Cui's room, at that time, Aunt Cui was doing needlework on the couch, and winter was coming soon, and she was going to weave a fox skin silk towel for Gu Huaijin.

"Who am I?" Cui Jinyuan quietly walked behind Aunt Cui, blindfolded her with both hands, and learned the man's rough voice.

"Don't make a fuss, Brocade Kite." Aunt Cui smiled and pulled her hand, "Why didn't you serve in front of Your Highness today?" ”

"Your Highness, everything is done there." Cui Jinyuan is unnaturally perfunctory.

She sat next to Aunt Cui and took the needle and thread in the basket and played with it for a while.

Looking at Aunt Cui's serious weaving of threads, Cui Jinyuan hesitated slightly, "Mother, I don't want to listen to that person's instructions anymore." ”

Aunt Cui's hand paused, and she put down the needle and thread with a forced smile, "What's wrong?" How can you say all these wayward words? ”

"Daughters are not willful." She looked at Aunt Cui's suspicious gaze, and at first she was a little evasive, but then she simply said directly, "Your Highness is going to accept me as a concubine." ”

"What did you say?" Aunt Cui was shocked, and immediately stood up, her hand accidentally touched the basket, and the needle and thread instantly turned to the ground.

"Your Highness likes me, so you want to give me a name." Cui Jinyuan said it again.

Aunt Cui snorted coldly, her tone was a little annoyed, "No wonder I said that the eyes of people in the Heavenly Palace are different these days, and I am the last one to know?" ”

Cui Jinyuan saw her sneering like this, and she was also angry, she dropped the needle and thread in her hand, and asked in a cold voice: "Mother, I don't understand, which parent doesn't look forward to his children?" Why did you come to me and make you so angry about the happy event between me and Your Highness? Your Highness, what's wrong with him? ”

Aunt Cui looked at her sad appearance, knowing that her words were contrary to her ears, but she still said it.

"Your Highness, he is very good, but it is because he is so good that he can't like you at all."

Cui Jinyuan was hit by her "impossible" and shed tears, "Why is it impossible for me and His Highness?" He likes me so much, you don't even know how much he's done for me! ”

"Silly boy, Your Highness was the one I served when he was young, don't I know him?" Aunt Cui saw her crying, and she softened her attitude, she gently took Cui Jinkite's hand and helped her wipe away her tears, "Your Highness enjoyed great honor when she was a child, and she was used to seeing jewels and jade, even if those objects from the people were good, they would not be eye-catching, not to mention us who have been in Fireworks Lane for so long?" ”

"People change. How much more so can we be the same with those objects? Cui Jinyuan retorted unwillingly, she always thought that her mother regarded herself too cheaply.

"Human nature does not change." Aunt Cui sighed, she was afraid that the more she talked, the more she would hurt Cui Jinyuan.

However, in Cui Jinyuan's eyes, these are all excuses that she disagrees with, and Aunt Cui's attitude of not knowing whether to fight for her or not letting her fight really chills her.

Cui Jinyuan slapped Aunt Cui's hand hard, "In the end, you just have to listen to that person!" Even if he is kind to us, he should repay us for so long! I will make my own decisions about my marriage, even if you don't agree with me. ”

Cui Jinyuan glanced at her in disappointment as she left, "Mother, I just want to ask you, is it your master or your daughter that is important to you?" ”

Aunt Cui's heart trembled, and it wasn't until Cui Jinyuan walked away that she slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

She never expected that Jin Kite would fall in love with Gu Huaijin, but why did Gu Huaijin suddenly want to take her as a concubine? It's not that the brocade kite has revealed some horses' feet. The more Aunt Cui thought about it, the more panicked she felt, and now that Jin Kite broke up with her, I was afraid that she wouldn't listen to anything she said, let alone be drugged. The nights were long and dreamy, and she had to do something to make them end quickly.

Xiao Lingheng finally decided to pass Xiao Sirou to Lu Youqing's name, so as to avoid the crime of bullying the king.

Hearing his decision, Xiao Sirou and Xiao Wangshu both breathed a sigh of relief.

But Xiao Sirou didn't have time to be happy for long, Xiao Lingheng said to her: "Now your wish has been fulfilled." In the future, you will be the concubine of King Yong, just stay in the palace and serve His Royal Highness with peace of mind, our Xiao family's threshold is thin, and you can't support the nobility of the mother, so you don't have to go to the mansion in the future. ”

There was no pampering in the words, and there was quite a bit of a father-daughter relationship, Xiao Sirou knew that Xiao Lingheng was completely disappointed in her. She panicked. She no longer has the favor of her husband, and even her aunt thinks that she is shameless and married in. Seeing that Gu Huaiyu was going to admit the concubine to enter the door soon, if he lost Xiao Lingheng's maintenance, I am afraid that it would be even more difficult to move in the palace.

But at the moment, she really has no other way to persuade her father to change her mind, so she can only discuss with her mother later, as long as her mother's favor is still there, her father will not really be so cruel to her.

Gu Huaiyu had a lot of trouble with Xiao Shuli because of this result, but Xiao Shuli could only persuade him half-coaxing and half-deceiving, saying that this was the most beneficial decision for the Xiao family and the overall situation.

Although Gu Huaiyu doesn't like Xiao Sirou and dislikes her identity as a concubine, his obsession with Xiao Wangshu is not so deep after all, and the throne above 10,000 people is what he really wants. So he also confessed.

Wangshu saw that this major matter had been solved, and the stone in his heart was completely put down.

In the evening, Linglu left after waiting for her to wash, Wangshu was about to go to bed, suddenly heard a movement by the window, she only thought it was a naughty bird lost, but as soon as she opened the window, a figure rushed in and covered her mouth tightly.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Wangshu pulled his hand away and said in a suppressed voice: "Gu Huaijin, what are you doing here at night?" ”

Gu Huaijin ignored her anger at all, and leisurely picked up an apple from the table.

"Naturally, I'm here to tell you good news."

She stared at him suspiciously, "What's the good news?" ”

I saw Gu Huaijin take out a letter fold from his arms, Wang Shu didn't dare to get too close to him, and pinched the envelope with two fingers and pulled it over.

Gu Huaijin chuckled lightly at her vigilant appearance.

Wangshu looked at the words on the letter carefully, "It's good news." ”

The letter said that Lu Younian and Lu Zhengze had defeated the king of Qi and returned to Chang'an one day.

This letter relieved her depressed mood a lot in the past few days.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I believe that you really care about Uncle Lu." Gu Huaijin smiled faintly.

Last time, because of this misunderstanding, the two broke up unhappily, although he apologized in the end, Gu Huaijin still felt that he was not sincere enough. Now that he has shared the information of the front line with her, it can be regarded as a sign of trust.

Wangshu folded the letter and returned it to him, "Uncle can say when will he come back?" ”

"Lu Younian is already on his way back, Uncle Lu still has some things to deal with, and he won't be back until the beginning of next year at the earliest."

Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's going to be soon." ”

I just don't know if it was her words that worked, or if the words of the little aunt worked.

Seeing that Gu Huaijin had just finished eating an apple and picked up the pears on the table again. Wangshu glanced at him with disgust, "Gu Huaijin, didn't you have dinner?" ”

Gu Huaijin didn't respond, Wangshu thought he had acquiesced, took out a bag from the box, poured all the fruits on the table into it, and then stuffed it into Gu Huaijin's arms.

"I'm going to bed. It's all for you, and you take them out to eat. ”

Gu Huaijin looked at her dumbfounded, and at the same time felt a little funny. She thinks he is an unfavored waste prince, so he is even short of fruit on weekdays?

He didn't refuse, holding the fruit in his arms and slowly walked to the windowsill under her urging.

"Xiao Wangshu." He called her suddenly.

"Huh?"

"I used to underestimate you. You are a woman, and you actually play the golden cicada shelling and bitter meat tricks so well. ”

Wangshu knew that he was talking about her marriage, and he didn't know how he knew so clearly. So he took a defensive posture again, "Who stipulates that only men can play with power?" ”

Gu Huaijin stepped on the edge of the window, and suddenly turned his head and smiled at her, "It's true that no one rules, it's just that women always work harder and need more courage to do these things." ”

The clear smile rubbed and bloomed in the moonlight, making Wangshu slightly stunned.

Wangshu was still in a trance, and Gu Huaijin's hand hit her face, "So your ruthlessness, this king is very happy." ”

He pinched and pinched her face, and the juice of the fruit in his palm had not yet dried, so he rubbed it on Wangshu's face. Wangshu was shocked, and just wanted to slap his hand, but he had already disappeared under the moonlight.

Is this light work so good?

Wangshu muttered and prepared to close the window.

At that moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Who?" Wangshu asked vigilantly.

"It's Steward Cui, and Mrs. asked the old slave to bring a new hand stove to the girl."

Wangshu opened the door at this time, took the hand stove and did not forget to thank him: "I have worked hard." ”

"That's what an old slave should do." Steward Cui smiled respectfully, and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something and retreated.

He looked at the open window in the room and kindly reminded: "Girl, the night is cold, so don't leave the window open for too long." ”

Wangshu's face turned slightly pale.

The time was so close that she had to think about it.

"What did Steward Cui see?"

"The old slave is old, and his eyes are already bad, even if the girl is close in front of him, it will be more difficult to see." Steward Cui smiled self-deprecatingly, and then bowed and left.

Wangshu looked at his rickety back and was slightly distracted.

Steward Cui was sold to the Xiao Mansion when he was seven years old, and served in the Xiao Mansion for more than 50 years, always doing his best and never making a mistake. I heard that my aunt once gave him a daughter-in-law, but unfortunately the woman died at a young age, poor Cui is in charge, and there are no children who can bear the knees at such an age.

Wangshu thought that he was not a person who liked to chew the root of his tongue on weekdays, so he didn't take this matter too seriously.
