Gu Huanyi said: "Refusing directly will indeed offend the princess and the prince, Sister Zhilan might as well tell the princess, she didn't directly ask me if I was willing to be the concubine of the prince of Xianwang, but probed my tone in a side interview, and said that I am stubborn, I don't know how to be flexible, I don't want to be a concubine, no matter how valuable my identity is." ”

Qi Zhilan nodded and said, "It's also a way to refuse like this." ”

As the two discussed, Qi Zhilan quietly replied to Princess Miaohua the next day, Gu Huanyi pretended not to know about this matter, and accompanied the princess back to Liangzhou City amicably.

After hearing Princess Miaohua's thoughts about Gu Huanyi, Concubine Zhen was very unhappy and said, "In the end, she is young and has no foresight at all." The emperor gave her a little face, and she still regarded herself as the eldest lady, holding such a useless shelf. ”

Princess Miaohua said: "Maybe after Brother Chengxu becomes an heir, her thoughts will be different. ”

Concubine Zhen said: "I originally thought that if she could have consensual feelings with Xu'er, she could spread a good story about saving orphans from the son of the world and help Xu'er sit firmly in the position of heir." If you wait until Xu'er's overall situation is decided, what else do you want her to do? When the time comes, she will regret it. ”

The prince framed the Gu family's army, and Concubine Zhen knew the truth, but Princess Miaohua didn't know it, and naturally she didn't know that Li Chengxu was counting on relying on the Gu family's reputation to appease the army.

Princess Miaohua said indifferently: "How much can this fame do." ”

Concubine Zhen said: "You don't understand the affairs of the court, but she still has some use right now." Going back to the emperor to discuss with the Song family and give marriage directly, she is willing to do the same. ”

Princess Miaohua said: "But when I was outside this time, I heard about something else, and the relationship between Brother Congxin and Gu Huanyi seems to be different. ”

Concubine Zhen was surprised: "Oh? Where did you know? ”

Miaohua said: "Brother Congxin was ordered to mourn last year, and he lived in Gu's house for a period of time, and he already had a friendship with Gu Huanyi. The daughter heard Mama Wu say that the subordinates of the Gu family all regard Brother Congxin as their future uncle, and it was very obvious in her words. ”

Mama Wu, who had taught Gu Huanyi funeral etiquette, was transferred from the palace of Concubine Zhen, and now she has returned to serve by Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen sneered: "I'm afraid this is wishful thinking on the part of the Gu family, Li Congxin is a person whose eyes are above the top, how can he look down on her?" ”

Li Congxin is twenty-one this year, and he has reached the age of getting married.

King Ming has written to the emperor many times, hoping that the emperor can point out a marriage to Li Congxin, but Li Congxin can't look down on anyone, so that outsiders still think that the emperor is pinching him and making a stumbling block for King Ming.

"Miss Fang is such an amazing and talented person, the emperor can't ask for it if he wants to point it to the prince, Li Congxin is still unwilling, I'll see what kind of person he wants to choose to be satisfied."

Fang Yurong is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Fang Fuyin, and her father is a first-class Xinguo Gong.

The Fang family is in power and the opposition, and Fang Yurong himself is outstanding in appearance and talent, and his poetry, calligraphy and painting are widely circulated in the imperial capital, and are very sought after by young talents.

When the emperor chose the crown princess for the crown prince a few years ago, he took a fancy to Fang Yurong, but Fang Yurong himself refused.

It is rumored that she fell in love with Li Congxin, the son of King Ming, and he would not marry.

Knowing that this was the case, the emperor was not reluctant, so he had to give up.

Concubine Zhen and Princess Miaohua have naturally heard of these things.

Now that I think about it, what is the tolerance between Gu Huanyi and Fang Yu? It is impossible for Li Congxin to take a fancy to Gu Huanyi, most likely because the Gu family themselves put gold on their faces.

After Gu Huanyi returned home from Xingxiangyuan, he summoned Song Ping, Song An, and Wang Sheng to discuss: "I want to buy some properties in Dijing." ”

Gu Huanyi told them bluntly, and these people were not surprised at all, they all knew that with Gu Huanyi's heavy filial piety period, they would consider the follow-up marriage and relocation.

Gu Huanyi has cash in her hands, and if she wants to spend money on the property, she is mainly worried about how to place the manpower cultivated by Wang Sheng.

She said to Wang Sheng: "You go to the imperial capital first, find some good locations, and open the clothing workshop, restaurant, and art hall first, and gradually arrange for the people who can be used now, so as not to make any preparations after we move into the imperial capital." ”

Song Ping said on the side: "Can you ask your uncle for help?" The Song family has been in the imperial capital for so many years, and they are more familiar with the situation than us. ”

Gu Huanyi shook his head and said, "These properties that I newly purchased in Dijing can't go through the hands of the Song family. I am young, the situation in the imperial capital is complicated, and if I act inappropriately, I can't implicate the Song family. Uncle Wang, don't come forward yourself, find some experienced stewards. ”

Wang Sheng was originally born in the army, and he knew more about scheming than Song Ping and Song An, who were servants of the world.

Since Gu Huanyi cultivated his own person, he vaguely understood what she was going to do.

Although he didn't know what Miss's ultimate goal was, he knew very well how to set up a position, how to place people, and how to spy on intelligence.

Gu Huanyi said to Song Ping again: "Uncle will go back in a few days, you take Xingqing and Xingyun into Beijing with him and help me choose a house, you can ask your uncle about this." ”

She thought for a moment and said, "Buy a bigger one." ”

As soon as she thought that Li Congxin came to the house to see her and stood in the cramped courtyard, she felt wronged by him.

These things are easy to say, but it is not easy to do, so Gu Huanyi plunged into it and began to plan for the future.

Li Congxin drove back to Liangzhou from Pingyang Pass, and took time to see Gu Huanyi before returning to Beijing.

Gu Huanyi discussed with him about his plan to move to Beijing.

"Now that I am out of the period of heavy filial piety, my grandfather and grandmother will definitely consider my marriage, and it is better for me to enter Beijing and be closer to the Song family, so as not to make decisions for me indiscriminately."

Li Congxin also thought that she was under his eyelids, and said: "I should have worried about these things for you, but you want to be in front." ”

Gu Huanyi shook his head and said, "If you say that you will walk hand in hand, then you have to work hard, how can you be counted on alone?" What I can do on my own, I will still do it myself. ”

Li Congxin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll let Liu Pei help you, if you can use it, you can use it, if you think he's in the way, don't care." ”

This means that they will not interfere with her too much.

Gu Huanyi smiled and said, "Uncle Liu is such a capable person, if you are willing to borrow me, it will be great." ”

This means that I will not be born with you, but I will use your people.

Gu Huanyi only told him about the purchase of the Beijing Mansion, and let Wang Sheng do it because there was no shadow, so he didn't mention it.

After saying this, Gu Huanyi asked a little embarrassedly: "When are you going to tell the Song family about our marriage?" ”

Without waiting for Li Congxin to answer, Gu Huanyi added: "I'm not anxious, I'm not urging you, I'm just listening to Princess Miaohua's tone, I'm worried that the prince of Xianwang will go to my grandfather......"

Li Congxin smiled: "You are not anxious, but I am anxious, after asking your mind, I have written to my father and asked him to entrust the media to Beijing." ”

Gu Huanyi's face turned even redder in an instant.
