In particular, after several officials of the DPRK and China were transferred for various reasons, the situation in the DPRK and China has also changed, and although it is not clear who is who on the surface, this does not affect everyone's speculation.

And this fourth prince, because he was obsessed with martial arts, followed his master to study in various places earlier, while appreciating the customs and customs of various parts of the dynasty, and at the same time following the master on the rivers and lakes to do chivalrous righteousness everywhere.

It seems that he doesn't care about the affairs of the court, but his royal brothers have not relaxed their vigilance against him.

The birthday of the Queen Mother is imminent, and while the whole country is celebrating, the people are also aware of the strictness of the prohibitions in various parts of the capital.

Not only has the number of patrols increased, but even the gates of the city have to be searched one by one to check the information before they are released.

In the capital, there are more tourists from all over the city, all for the birthday of the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother is not the biological mother of the old emperor, the old emperor has been raised by the Queen Mother since he was a child, and finally fought his way out of many princes and sat in the position of the emperor, and the Queen Mother played a pivotal role in the middle. Whether it is the teaching of the old emperor or the advice behind it, it can be said that without the queen mother, there would be no old emperor's present.

This year is the fiftieth birthday of the Queen Mother, and the old emperor has made arrangements for preparations since the beginning of the year, and has mobilized a large number of people to ensure the safety of the capital. Because several vassal kings wanted to enter Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, the old emperor did not dare to take it lightly, and transferred heavy troops to guard the border, and the vassal kings could only bring their families and personal guards into the city, and the number of personal guards could not exceed ten.

This was a very naked, naked defense, and harsh requirements, but several vassal kings had to obey.

These tourists who came to the capital because of the Queen Mother's birthday are not ordinary tourists, they are all people with status and status in various places.

In order to highlight the atmosphere of universal celebration, the old emperor will come out of the palace with the queen mother and cruise along the main road of the capital.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime honor!

In order to prevent chaotic people from mixing into the capital, each region issued quotas in advance, and the local magistrates screened according to the quota requirements, selected those who met the requirements, and issued temporary ultimatums from the government. After arriving in the capital, enter the city with an ultimatum, you can stay in the place arranged by the government, you can find a place to stay, and on the birthday of the Queen Mother, someone will take them to the nearest place to pay homage to the royal family.

At that time, the main road will definitely be blocked, and those who can enter it are all screened people.

Such a tense atmosphere did not affect the family relationship between Gu Jinzhen and Qiao Lixi in the slightest. On the contrary, the two families were also happy to see that everyone cared about the Queen Mother's birthday and relaxed their attention to the two families.

During this period, the Marquis of Zhenyuan met Qiao Yixi alone, and the two chatted for a long time in the study.

Gu Jinzhen wandered around the yard irritably, although he knew that his grandfather would not embarrass Qiao Qiao, but he just couldn't calm down.

Old Madam Lu couldn't stand it anymore, and finally said: "Brother Zhen, you stop for a while, you can sit here, and your grandfather will naturally come out after talking with Qiaoqiao." ”

"Grandmother, what do you say grandfather will say to Jojo?"

Before Mrs. Lu could answer, Shen Huaihao said in a weird voice: "What else can you say?" Isn't it just to tell Qiaoqiao about your bad temper and stinky problems in advance, lest Qiaoqiao find out your problems and can't adapt to them, so you can only leave. ”

"What did you say?" Gu Jinzhen gritted her teeth and looked at Shen Huaihao.

He hasn't gotten married yet, and someone actually wants him to get married.

"You can't talk nonsense, you know how much Brother Zhen cares about Qiaoqiao, don't talk nonsense." Old Madam Lu glared at Shen Huaihao with disgust.

Shen Huaihao not only did not restrain himself, but continued to tease Gu Jinzhen with a smile, "I also care about Qiaoqiao, I don't want Qiaoqiao to suffer the slightest grievance, so I thought that before Qiaoqiao entered the door, let her see clearly what kind of person Brother Zhen is, and it is too late to regret it, if the two children get married, although they can be reconciled, but after they are reconciled, Qiaoqiao's identity will change, and he will always suffer a loss." ”

An unmarried girl and a cousin are two different worlds.

Gu Jinzhen gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Huaihao, and said word by word: "My business, don't worry about the prince, the prince has this spare time, let's find a daughter-in-law for myself." ”

This is heart-piercing, it can be seen how angry Gu Jinzhen is!

Shen Huaihao clutched his chest, looking injured.

Old Madam Lu sat on the side of the ground, not mixing with the noise between the two.

Gu Jinzhen was blushing and his neck was thick, and he was about to lift the round stool under his fart and thighs, and when he smashed it towards Shen Huaihao's shameless body, he saw that the study was open, and hurriedly rushed over.

"Jojo!" Under the winter sun, Gu Jinzhen smiled brightly, and the misty sunlight sprinkled on him, hazy, unreal, those few big white eyes exposed because of grinning and smirking were shining.

"Dead boy, what are you and your uncle messing around outside?" As soon as the Marquis of Zhenyuan saw Gu Jinzhen, he lost his face, don't think he didn't hear it, when he and Qiao Qiao were talking about business in the study, this dead boy was an eyesore outside!

Gu Jinzhen looked indifferent, "Grandfather, I'm worried about Qiaoqiao, it's lunch time, Qiaoqiao is weak and hungry!" ”

Weak?

Hungry?

I think you are your little daughter-in-law who feels sorry for you!

Marquis Zhenyuan glared at Gu Jinzhen viciously, but he didn't say anything.

After lunch, Gu Jinzhen took Qiao Yixi out under the pretext that she still had something to prepare.

After getting into the carriage and looking at the people crowded in, Qiao Lixi asked angrily, "You don't ride a horse?" ”

"After drinking, you are not afraid that I will fall from the horse?"

The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched.

It's just a few wine-brewed balls, which were said by Gu Jinzhen, and they became drinking?

General Gu, is it really okay for you to open your eyes and talk nonsense like this?

Not bothering to pay attention to Gu Jinzhen's scoundrel, Qiao Lixi shrank into the carriage, "Where are we going?" ”

"Go around and see what you want to buy."

It is rare that Qiao Qiao can go out today, without Qiao Xingbang's watching, Gu Jinzhen naturally wants to use his time "reasonably".

Besides, the two are making a marriage in a bright way, and it is justified to go shopping together.

Just thinking about it makes my heart bubble.

He has been preparing since the other day.

In his heart, he silently read the news he asked people to collect, about what things are famous in which street and store in the capital, and his eyes lit up.

Let Shen Jiajun's dark department check these things, Gu Jinzhen can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, and there is no one to come, I don't know what the reaction of Zhenyuan Hou will be if he knows.

The two took a carriage to the downtown of the capital.

It had been snowing heavily for a few days, but now it finally cleared up, and the sun came out, and the streets were filled with pedestrians and vendors.

Although the officers and soldiers on patrol have been wandering the streets, it has not affected everyone's interest in playing in the slightest. There are few such good weather in the capital in winter, not to mention, this year's capital is more lively than in the past.

Looking sideways, looking at Gu Jinzhen with a mask, Qiao Yixi finally couldn't help it, and asked curiously, "You really haven't shown your face in the capital?" ”

Seeing Gu Jinzhen shaking his head, Qiao Lixi asked in disbelief, "The old emperor allows you to do this?" ”

"My face has been injured, not only the ministers of the court and the central government know it, but even the people know it, if I go to court with a face full of scars and startle the saint, it will be a sin."

It's obviously for the sake of the old emperor, but how sarcastic it sounds.

"But don't worry, my face is almost 'restored', and when we get married, I won't have to wear a mask anymore."

He wore a mask before, because he privately returned to Shuzhou from southern Xinjiang to do business, and he didn't want to be targeted by inconsequential people, and his face was "injured" before, and the old emperor's people had also "seen" it, and the old emperor had no doubt about this.

Over the years, he has been "healing" his face, and the old emperor also knows it, so it is not surprising that his face will be restored when the time comes.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhen was so sure, Qiao Lixi nodded reassuringly.

The two entered the jewelry store.

Gu Jinzhen is rare Qiao Lixi, and naturally she is not exempt from vulgarity, and the first store she took Qiao Lixi to visit was a jewelry store.

"Qiaoqiao, this is the most famous jewelry store in the capital, the masters inside are all craftsmen from the palace, the craftsmanship is guaranteed, the style is more than two months later than the palace, those ladies and young ladies like to buy jewelry here."

Qiao Yixi nodded.

Women of every era like to follow trends, and the vane of this era is the royal palace.

As long as it comes out of the palace, it is definitely the best, so whenever there is any material and style of clothes that are popular in the palace, the outside will also imitate them, and what hairstyles the concubines in the palace comb will soon become popular outside.

However, the palace is full of nobles, and no matter how much people outside want to follow the pace of the trend, they will not touch the mold of the nobles. Therefore, these jewels came out two or three months late, which not only caught the tail of the trend, but also did not take away the limelight from the nobles, and the time was just right.

Qiao Lixi was still sighing here, and Gu Jinzhen suddenly leaned into her ear and said softly: "Qiao Qiao, you can take a look at it, if you don't like it, we will make it." ”

A "not bad money" uncle's tone.

Qiao Yixi smiled, and the two entered the door.

The guy is a man with eyes, and he immediately greeted him, "Childe, miss, please inside." ”

Looking at the clothes of the two, the guy didn't say a word and led the two to the second floor.

Because of Gu Jinzhen's special identity, the people on the first floor guessed his identity when they saw the iconic mask, and then they knew Qiao Lixi's identity.

However, with more than ten stairs, Qiao Yixi gained a lot of inquiring eyes along the way.

There were obviously a lot fewer people on the second floor, because I had just gone upstairs and was around the corner, so I couldn't see the situation inside.

As soon as Qiao Yixi turned around, she saw a young lady of the official family standing in front of her, looking straight at Gu Jinzhen, "General Gu." ”

Gu Jinzhen's eyes were always on Qiao Yixi, even if there was a person standing in front of him, and he took the initiative to say hello, he didn't even throw a straight eye.

The girl's gaze followed Gu Jinzhen's line of sight to Qiao Yixi, and then she smiled and said affectionately, "This is ...... Miss Joe, right? ”
