In the past few days before the concubine selection banquet, Gu Yanran has lived a very long time, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as a year.

She was anxious, she was restless, she was thinking about it all day, and she couldn't calm down even when she was sitting in the hospital.

She really wanted to go to Yi to live in seclusion to find Nangong Xuanyi, but then what?

Asked Nangong Xuanyi in person why he chose the side concubine?

She has no position or right to ask this.

Or maybe she just professed her heart to him?

No, you can't show your heart.

What if she is rejected by Nangong Xuanyi after she expresses her intentions?

She was sure that she wanted to marry Nangong Xuanyi, but she couldn't be sure if Nangong Xuanyi wanted to marry her.

Maybe for Nangong Xuanyi, she is just a friend and confidant who can talk well.

It's been so long since the news of the concubine selection banquet came out, if Nangong Xuanyi really had a relationship between men and women for her, even the slightest bit, she would have come over to explain a few words to her.

But he didn't.

If she confessed her heart under impulse, and was rejected by Nangong Xuanyi, wouldn't she even have to be a friend and confidant?

She didn't dare to risk losing Nangong Xuanyi to show her intentions.

originally thought that he could cultivate a relationship with Nangong Xuanyi first and then consider getting married, so that everything would fall into place.

Unexpectedly, she doesn't even have time to cultivate her feelings now.

Concubine Banquet......

In his previous life, Nangong Xuanyi did not hold a concubine selection banquet, but the monarch directly selected Du Mengyao as the concubine and gave her marriage.

Therefore, she didn't know what would happen at the concubine selection banquet, and she couldn't guess what would happen.

If he really chose a side concubine at the concubine selection banquet, what should she do?

Do you want to abandon [men]?

Reborn in a lifetime, she finally looked forward to Nangong Xuanyi, and she was really unwilling to give up.

But if you don't give up...... Do you have to compromise on everything?

She couldn't.

It's not that she can't make compromises, but she can't watch Nangong Xuanyi with others.

"What should I do......" Gu Yanran lay on the table, her head was about to become a mess.

Until, Shiso walked in with an invitation.

"Girl." Zi Su put the invitation in front of Gu Yanran. "This is an invitation sent from the palace just now, inviting you to participate in the reception banquet of the second prince, and the palace people also said that this is the post that the second prince personally gave you."

Gu Yanran sat up straight suddenly. "Who do you say made the post?"

Shiso repeated obediently. "It was the second prince who personally gave you a post."

“…… I know. Gu Yanran waved her hand back. Stand down. ”

"Yes, girl." Shiso stepped aside.

Gu Yanran was alone again, and her eyes never took off the invitation in her hand.

When I opened the invitation, I saw the vigorous strokes.

"It's his handwriting." Gu Yanran recognized the handwriting on this invitation, and she panicked inexplicably.

Nangong Xuanyi invited her to the banquet, did she want her to watch him choose the candidate for the side concubine?

Or did Nangong Xuanyi personally post to her, did he also regard her as one of the candidates for the side concubine?

How could he be so ...... Clever!

If she is chosen as a side concubine, she will have time to cultivate a relationship with him again, the kind that is justified!

I have to say that Gu Yanran has circled herself into a dead end.

With her status as the concubine of the Protector's Mansion, even if she is the wife of the second prince, it is more than enough, but she surrenders her identity to compete with others for the position of the second prince's side concubine, which is really funny.

At this time, if someone else glimpsed Gu Yanran's thoughts, they would definitely be unable to help but scold...... is a good concubine of a famous family, and she is in a hurry to be someone else's side concubine, isn't this stupid?

……

###二皇子选妃宴当日

In order to be the focus of attention at the reception banquet, Gu Yanran put on the lake blue dress given to her by the garment shop.

Gu Qiqiao's eyes sparkled. "Miss Yan, you look so good in this dress."

"That's right." Ling Yan was also amazed by Gu Yanran again. "I thought that this skirt had to be changed to be worn, but I didn't expect that the shoulder width, waist, sleeve length, and skirt length were all suitable, no wonder the shopkeeper said that the treasure of the town store was related to you, and now it seems that this skirt is like it is tailor-made for you."

Gu Yanran laughed. "With your words, I'm relieved." Can you rest assured that others will compete...... No, it's not about Nangong Xuanyi!

In front of the palace gate, the carriage belonging to the concubine of the Protector's Mansion slowly stopped.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage, set up the stool, and waited.

I thought that the first person to get off the carriage should be Gu Yanran, but the main owner who was waiting for the group in front of the palace gate was the third to get off the carriage.

The first to get off the carriage was a woman in a power suit, and her head was tied behind her head with a ribbon of the same color as the power suit, looking handsome and sassy.

The second person to get off the carriage was a delicate little girl, who was recognized at a glance because she often served by Gu Yanran's side, it was Gu Qiqiao.

Gu Yanran was the last to get off the carriage.

The people who came and went, and those who were about to enter the palace to participate in the banquet, all stopped, and were attracted by the refreshing lake-blue figure.

"Hey, who do you think that's that?"

"Gu Yanran!"

"Is Gu Yanran so beautiful?"

"It's the first time I've looked at Gu Yanran's appearance so seriously, she used to have a very low sense of existence."

"But to be honest, she did have an enviable good look."

"She's so beautiful in that dress! After a while, I went to set up a suit with her, and asked her where the dress was customized. ”

"Take me, take me, I'm going to ask too!"

"Are you really going? Have you forgotten her reputation? If you get close to her, your reputation will suffer! ”

"This ......"

"Have you seen what she did with any man?" A woman couldn't help but say something fair. "I heard about her reputation before, and I wanted to stay away from her, but my brother's words woke me up, there will be family affection, love, and friendship between men and women, Gu Yanran is knowledgeable, and the people who associate with her are naturally excellent people in all aspects, we heard that Gu Yanran is close to this man and that man, but we ignore a fact."

"What facts?"

"It's not that Gu Yanran is involved with those excellent men, but that those outstanding people who have intersected with Gu Yanran are just men."

"What do you mean by being all men?"

"There is a saying, 'things gather by like, people by groups', excellent people, the people around them are naturally excellent. Because Gu Yanran is excellent, she will meet people who are also excellent, and there will be rumors, just because these excellent people are all men, if these excellent people are all women, will there be rumors like Gu Yanran's water-based Yang Hua? ”

"I think you're saying I'm not good enough, and I have enough evidence."

"The ancients always said that women are inferior to men, and Gu Yanran did what ordinary men couldn't do, proving that women can also be as good as men, subverting the 'tradition' that we are born with in our bones, and we will become the target of public criticism."

"That'...... Let's go talk to Gu Yanran in a while? ”

"Okay!"
