Mingjuan said: "Master, the gifts for Princess Moma and the two Miss Gu have been brought, where do you see them?" ”

Su Jinyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked at Mingjuan again, she quietly said the word "prince" with her mouth. It seems that Gu Xuebin has already helped her choose the gift.

Now that the embarrassment has been resolved, Su Jinyao also waved her hand smartly and said, "Just give it to them directly, and it's not an outsider." ”

The reason why she said this was because she didn't know what gifts Gu Xuebin had chosen for her to give to Mo Ma and the Gu family sisters.

Since Gu Xuebin instructed Mingjuan, let Mingjuan directly distribute the gifts to everyone.

Then, Su Jinyao directly took the box on top, held it in front of Mrs. Gu with both hands, and said, "Auntie, this is the gift I personally selected for you, and I don't know if it is to your liking." ”

Mrs. Gu hurriedly followed, opened it, and said, "This is too precious." I have heard of this white jade incense burner, and it is a tribute to the palace from the Western Regions. ”

Since she chose the right one, it seems that Mrs. Gu also likes it, and Su Jinyao also smiled. Said: "What you give to your aunt is naturally the best." It's good if my aunt likes it. ”

"Yes, of course I do." Mrs. Gu was also very good at talking, and she also held the incense burner in her hand and played with it carefully for a while, to show that she really loved the incense burner.

On the other side, Mingjuan and the others also gave gifts to Moma and them.

After the three girls opened it separately, they all showed surprised expressions.

Especially Moma, she took out a red coral handbar from the box and immediately put it on her hand, looking left and right with great joy.

Su Jinyao secretly admired that Gu Xuebin really had a heart. When he was in Qingfan, he should have heard himself and Moma talking, and he also knew that Moma liked the treasure of red coral, so he deliberately chose a gift made of red coral, which really pleased Moma.

And what was given to Gu Xueqi was a pair of pink quartz earrings. The pink color just sets off Gu Xueqi's gentleness and softness.

As for what was given to Gu Yuxuan, it was a jade wrench......

Gu Xueqi's worries

When Su Jinyao saw that there was a jade wrench in the gift box prepared for Gu Yuxuan, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Prepare a wrench for girls, isn't this gift a little off?

Because the wrench is not actually an ornament, nor is it a kind of jewelry, but a practical thing.

That is when archery, it is used to drive the bowstring. In this way, when you let go of the bowstring, you will not hurt your hand if you have a wrench to protect it.

Although the jade quality is excellent, the water head and color are excellent, but is it appropriate for a girl to wear this thing?

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuxuan suddenly became happy and said, "Second sister, you are so good, you actually know that I like this." I'm practicing archery, and you gave me a wrench. Did Brother Feng tell you? ”

But Su Jinyao didn't know that Gu Yuxuan was learning archery, it seemed that Gu Xuebin heard something.

Mrs. Gu also smiled when she saw the wrench, and said to Su Jinyao: "You, you also spoil her so much." It's obviously a girl's family, what kind of archery do you learn? The kid from the Feng family was also unreliable, and even made her a bow, the kind that was one size smaller than the ordinary bow. ”

It's not the first time I've heard that Feng Shusheng is unreliable, so Su Jinyao didn't take it to heart.

I just felt that Feng Shusheng first stood in Gu Xuebin's team on behalf of the Feng family, and at least he should help him say a few good words.

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Auntie, in fact, it's good for girls to learn some self-defense moves." For example, although I didn't practice serious martial arts and internal strength, my master still gave me a lot of self-defense tricks. I think that the third brother of the Feng family understands Yu Xuan's temperament, and he really wants to protect her, so he taught Yu Xuan to learn archery. ”

Hearing that Su Jinyao also changed her name to Feng Shusheng as the "third brother of the Feng family", Gu Yuxuan smiled a little proudly and said, "Mother, you heard it." The second sister also said that the third brother Feng had no bad intentions. ”

Madame Gu sighed and glared at her precious daughter.

Then he looked at Su Jinyao again, and said meaningfully: "I'm just afraid, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." ”

Su Jinyao was also stunned, and didn't understand why Mrs. Gu said this. But after thinking about it again, I suddenly wondered if Mrs. Gu knew something?

Or, Mrs. Gu saw Feng Shusheng's ulterior motives?

Su Jinyao turned her head to look at Gu Yuxuan's happy appearance with a jade wrench, as if she understood something at once.

Could it be that Feng Shusheng is ...... to Gu Yuxuan

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled secretly, but it was inconvenient to say it at this time. I had to pull Mrs. Gu to say something again, and I also diverted the topic.

Mrs. Gu really likes Su Jinyao, as if she was affectionate to her daughter. repeatedly asked Su Jinyao if she was used to living in the Prince's Mansion, and if she needed to bring something over.

Su Jinyao said: "Aunt, don't worry, I'm not such a squeamish person." In the past, when I was in the countryside, I had to endure hardships and hardships, but now my life is so comfortable that I don't lack anything. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao talk about the past, Mrs. Gu sighed and said, "I really wronged you." ”

Su Jinyao took Mrs. Gu's hand and said, "Actually, I miss the days in the countryside very much, and Che also said that he would take me back to see it." ”

"Well, I should go back and check it out. After all, it's a home where I've lived for more than ten years. Mrs. Gu said, and said, "When will you go?" Auntie has something for you. This can be regarded as a return to the hometown, and we can't lose our courtesy. ”

Su Jinyao said that she was expected to leave the day after tomorrow, but before leaving, she would go to Helian's house again, and she might not come to the Gu family to say goodbye.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she hurriedly got up and said, "Since I am in a hurry, then I have to prepare now." I always have to bring you something decent back, the Su family is also your benefactor, and the grace and nurturing grace are the same. ”

Even if Su Jinyao insisted that she didn't need to, she would prepare gifts or something, but Mrs. Gu was still in a hurry to leave.

Leaving Mo Ma and the Gu family sisters to accompany Su Jinyao to talk. They were four girls of about the same age, but they were talking enthusiastically.

After a while, Xiluo'er came, saying that she was inviting Su Jinyao, Princess Moma, and the two young ladies to the main hall for dinner.

Because Xiluo'er was still in charge of taking care of the golden python, Su Jinyao didn't bring her with her when she got married, because she was afraid that the golden python would suddenly change places and be frightened.

Xi Shen'er was not a lively little girl, she used to guard the Yazhu in the palace alone, and she didn't see her unhappy. So this time, even if she is asked to stay, she will be a little girl guarding the boudoir.

Su Jinyao and Moma walked forward together. After walking for a while, Su Jinyao found that Gu Xueqi still looked sullen.

In fact, when Su Jinyao came back, it was clear that Gu Xueqi had something on her mind. It's just that she hasn't had a chance to talk to her alone, so Su Jinyao didn't ask.

Su Jinyao deliberately slowed down, gently pulled Gu Xueqi, and motioned for her to take a few steps slowly.

Gu Xueqi was stunned, then stopped, and looked at Su Jinyao with a pair of eyes with deep meaning.

"Xueqi, you have something on your mind." Su Jinyao glanced at Mo Ma and Gu Yuxuan, who were walking far ahead, and asked in a low voice.

Gu Xueqi shook her head and nodded slowly. Then he whispered, "Jinyao, I'...... I'm afraid I'm going to be married. ”

"Isn't that something that has been known for a long time?" Su Jinyao didn't expect Gu Xueqi to still be struggling with this.

And since Su Jinyao found out that Seventeen had no special meaning for Gu Xueqi, she didn't want to match the two anymore.

Not to mention how big the gap is between their identities, just one is affectionate and the other is unintentional, there is no way to pinch together.

If the two of them are really you and me, and they swear an alliance, Su Jinyao may encourage the two to elope. But the current situation is Gu Xueqi's wishful thinking, which is really difficult.

Gu Xueqi sighed and said, "Jin Yao, you don't know, there are really few people in the court who can still be regarded as a good match with the Gu family now." And the three princes have already married the princess of Tianze Kingdom, so only the Helian family and the Feng family are left. But these two ......"

Su Jinyao was also stunned when she heard this, and asked, "The Helian family only has Helian Tianqi, but the Feng family's is ...... Feng Shusheng? ”

Gu Xueqi nodded and said, "Yes." But apart from these two sons, I only have one way to get married. ”

In other words, unless Gu Xueqi chooses to marry Helian Tianqi or Feng Shusheng, she will become a victim of the marriage between the two countries.

When the time comes, marrying away from home is not the saddest.

What's even more sad is that I don't know what the person I want to marry is like, and I don't know the temperament of that person.

There is no happiness at all for two people who are so forcibly pinched together, and marriage has become a shackle and a burden.

Neither is suitable

Su Jinyao really didn't expect that Gu Xueqi, who has always been the most gentle and amiable, would face such a fate. Of course, she couldn't watch her marry away from home.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao grabbed Gu Xueqi's hand and said, "Or do you choose Helian Tianqi?" I'll be at Helian's house tomorrow, so I can help you mention it. ”

"Don't." Gu Xueqi shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't want to get married, I really don't want to." ”

"That'...... Feng Shusheng is even more unsuitable for you. Su Jinyao thought that Feng Shusheng doted on Gu Yuxuan very much, so she felt that this matter really couldn't be messed with.

Gu Xueqi also shook her head again and said, "I don't want to marry the Feng family." Jinyao, can you help me and let me think about it again? At least recently, I don't want to get married. ”

Su Jinyao nodded helplessly but distressedly, and said, "Xueqi, don't worry, I'll try my best to help you." ”

In fact, Su Jinyao also understood that if it weren't for her marriage to Gu Xuebin, Gu Xueqi would not have faced such a difficult situation.

First of all, Gu Xueqi is a little older than Su Jinyao, and Su Jinyao is married, and she is not married yet, which invisibly adds some pressure to her.

In addition, Su Jinyao married the crown princess, which is equivalent to raising the power of the entire Gu family.

Just imagine, whether it is marrying Gu Xueqi or Gu Yuxuan, it is equivalent to being a brother-in-law with the crown prince. In this way, even if it is a relative of the emperor, if it is a little worse, the queen mother will not be able to agree.

Seeing Su Jinyao nodding, Gu Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said, "Jinyao, I'm not stubborn, I just can't turn this corner." I also want to wait for the Queen Mother to marry me with peace of mind, as before. But now, every day I think about another person, I am really afraid that after I get married, I will never have the opportunity to see him again. ”

Su Jinyao also sighed slightly, she really didn't expect that Gu Xueqi would be such an infatuated person.

However, between Seventeen and her......

"Xueqi, I'll try to help you find a way, you can think about it too." Su Jinyao patted Gu Xueqi's hand and said, "If it really doesn't work, I think Helian Tianqi is really a good choice." ”

Gu Xueqi looked at Su Jinyao, and finally shook her head repeatedly.

Su Jinyao felt that she was so stubborn, why did she still drill the horns of this matter?

But before Su Jinyao could speak, Gu Xueqi suddenly said, "Jinyao, I can't marry Helian Tianqi because of you." You don't know that on the day you got married, after he covered you with his own hands, his eyes were filled with tears. And that night, the eldest brother went to drink with him, and one drink was all night. When the eldest brother came back the next day, he sighed for a long time, saying that Helian Gongzi had always been unruly, but it turned out to be a lover. I realized that he has a deep affection for you and will never change easily. ”

Su Jinyao suddenly understood, it was not that Gu Xueqi was unwilling to give in, but that she knew very well that if she chose Helian Tianqi, the two families might get closer and closer, which would also be a torment for Helian Tianqi.

But if for this reason, it is unrealistic for Su Jinyao and Gu Xueqi to break up.

Therefore, although Helian Tianqi is a suitable candidate, he is an object that must not be chosen.

For a while, Su Jinyao was also silent. This kind of thing is really untidy and messy, and it's thanks to Gu Xueqi that she can see this clearly.

Gu Xueqi said: "Okay, don't think about me yet." I can drag it if I can, I always feel that maybe my fate has not yet arrived. ”

Su Jinyao also said: "Yes, it is best to think about it." Everyone's fate is different, and maybe some people go around and around to find that the real fate is not what you think. Let it be, Xueqi, don't be too stubborn. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuxuan turned around and ran over from the front. shouted: "Eldest sister, second sister, what are you whispering here?" The banquet in the main hall has been set up, and we are waiting for the princess to enter the table. ”

Su Jinyao turned her head to look at Gu Xueqi again, and Gu Xueqi hurriedly waved her hand, asking Su Jinyao not to talk nonsense for a while.

Su Jinyao nodded in agreement, and the three sisters walked towards the main hall together.

There are two tables for the banquet in the main hall, separated by a screen in the middle, and on one side are the old man Gu, the prime minister Gu, Gu Xuebin and Gu Shangqing. On the other side is Mrs. Gu, Su Jinyao, and Princess Moma at a table.

This is not to say that there is a difference between men and women, but because of Princess Moma's identity, it is really inconvenient to let the prince of the Cloud Dome Kingdom share the table on a formal occasion.

If it's just an ordinary family banquet, it doesn't matter, but after all, Gu Xuebin is the prince of a country with a special status, and Mo Ma is estimated to be the queen if he returns to Qingfan, so this kind of trivial matter has evolved into diplomacy between the two countries, and it is also to be avoided.

There is no problem with such a differential treatment of Moma. In fact, Moma is a very easy-going and temperamental little girl, so it doesn't matter how she arranges it.

Su Jinyao also knew that there was actually not so much attention to in Qingfan. But if you follow the customs, there are a lot of etiquette in the Cloud Dome Country, so it can only be like this.

At the dinner table on the other side, Gu Xuebin also mentioned his plan to take Su Jinyao back to his hometown. He also specially asked Prime Minister Gu to bother more in the DPRK and China during these days.

The ancient prime minister is naturally duty-bound, whether it is his obligation as the prime minister; Or is it because the Gu family has completely stood on the side of the prince, and they will do their best to help Gu Xuebin share the burden.

This meal was enjoyable, and there was a lively atmosphere of a family.

However, the Guining banquet should not be delayed for too long, according to the rules, the newlyweds should leave their parents' house before noon, and they should return to the new house before sunset.

Because they are in the same capital, they don't have to worry about walking a long way to return to the prince's mansion after leaving the ancient family, so they just need to leave before noon.

Leaving the Gu family again, Su Jinyao was reluctant again. Last time, she was directly hugged by Gu Xuebin in the carriage to welcome her relatives, and Su Jinyao didn't know anything with her eyes darkened.

Now that they are leaving again, Prime Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu personally sent Su Jinyao to the door, but Mrs. Gu was still reluctant to hold Su Jinyao's hand, with tears in her eyes.

Su Jinyao suddenly felt sad again, as if she saw the scene of Mrs. Gu standing at the door on the day of her wedding and watching the horse team leaving with tears in her eyes.

"Auntie, I'll come back to see you when I come back." Su Jinyao smiled reluctantly, shook Mrs. Gu's hand, and said, "Fortunately, Xueqi and Yuxuan are by your side and can accompany you and take care of you." Xueqi is gentle, Yuxuan is cute, you can talk to them more if you have something to do. ”

Mrs. Gu nodded tearfully and said, "Yes, fortunately, there are still two daughters by her side." But thinking about these two girls also going to get married, my heart. ”

Even those who are beaten with iron can't stand it

Hearing Mrs. Gu say this, Su Jinyao hurriedly glanced at Gu Xueqi.

Gu Xueqi also understood, and immediately walked over and grabbed Mrs. Gu's other hand tightly, and said, "Mother, don't worry, I am still by your side." I'll be with you for a good time. ”

"Yes, good daughter." Mrs. Gu was also uncomfortable, and she didn't think so much for a while, so she nodded and agreed.

Su Jinyao also wanted to take this opportunity to arouse Mrs. Gu's reluctance to her daughter, so that with Mrs. Gu's protection, at least Gu Xueqi would not be immediately assigned to marriage.

Anyway, the Gu family just held a wedding and married a daughter, and it stands to reason that it will take at least half a year to do another happy event.

Seeing the deep love between Mrs. Gu and Gu Xueqi's mother and daughter, Su Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and got into the carriage back home with Gu Xuebin.
