After three rounds of drinking, the queen proposed to the emperor that she was too strong to drink and wanted to take all the ladies to the back garden for a visit.

The emperor naturally agreed. Originally, such a big occasion was not suitable for women to accompany them all the time.

Therefore, the ladies present all went to the back garden with their daughters.

Gu Xuebin looked at Su Jinyao and asked her meaning with his eyes. If Su Jinyao is unwilling, then stay by his side.

Su Jinyao glanced at Gu Xueqi, who was going out behind Mrs. Gu, shook her head and said, "I'll go around too." ”

Just as Su Jinyao also got up and walked out, Manager Yue, who was following the emperor, suddenly proposed: "Since it's Tongle, it's better to let these sons go to the garden too." The queen mother has the meaning of marriage, and it is also an excellent pleasure to let these sons and young ladies chant poems together. ”

The emperor nodded, then waved his hand to the people below, and said, "It's good for all Aiqing to accompany me to talk, those juniors, let them go by themselves." ”

Su Jinyao glanced back and understood that this should have been designed by the emperor and the queen, and then it was time for Manager Yue to come out like this.

It is estimated that when it comes to the back garden, the drama of the marriage really begins.

Friends are friends

Su Jinyao walked out of the gate of the main hall, but Gu Xuebin couldn't come out with those young sons.

But it's right to think about it, these are all princes and grandsons who have not yet been married, and it is really inappropriate for Gu Xuebin to follow in.

Su Jinyao walked to the back garden together, and Feng Shusheng squeezed over from behind and called out with a smile: "Sister of the Gu family." ”

Su Jinyao glanced at him sideways, raised her eyebrows and said, "The clothes you are wearing today are lined with you, but this aura is still a little worse." Don't talk or laugh, that's pretty much it. ”

Feng Shusheng was really well-behaved when he heard this, and immediately closed his mouth and walked honestly beside Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao walked for a while and found that although she didn't know these people, none of these people didn't know her. Naturally, no one came to talk to her because she was good-looking, so she just walked forward alone.

On the contrary, it was Feng Shusheng and Su Jinyao who walked together, which made her maverick seem less abrupt.

Su Jinyao's impression of Feng Shusheng changed again, it seems that this kid really has a high emotional intelligence, and he has long foreseen that this situation may occur, so he deliberately came over and walked to Su Jinyao's side.

You know, it's also embarrassing to be isolated at this time.

Su Jinyao looked at Feng Shusheng again, and when she saw that he was still walking seriously, she said softly, "Thank you." The antidote is also ready, you can go get it tomorrow. ”

"Thank me?" Feng Shusheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "Why does the sister of the Gu family want to thank me, I should thank you when the antidote is ready." ”

Su Jinyao raised her chin slightly and said, "Thank you for helping me out of the siege." ”

Feng Shusheng looked down and saw that the group of people in front of him were talking to each other, and it really seemed that Su Jinyao was cold and lonely.

Feng Shusheng pursed his lips and smiled, he didn't see frivolity, he only felt calm, and said slowly: "I don't know why, anyway, I can't see others being single when I'm young." To be honest, I can feel the coldness in my sister's body, but I don't want you to be cold like this. ”

Cold? Su Jinyao frowned, shook her head and smiled.

Yes, she does have a coldness in her bones, but this is something that even Gu Xueqi and the others have not discovered. Unexpectedly, Feng Shusheng found out.

Su Jinyao couldn't help but feel a little curious, and asked, "But I still don't understand, your Feng family and the Gu family are against each other, why do you want to help me?" ”

After a pause, Su Jinyao said bluntly: "And what I don't understand the most is that I don't feel any difference in your intentions at all." Are you really that sincere? ”

Feng Shusheng was slightly flustered when he heard this, and only laughed after a while. When he smiled, he showed neat white teeth, which was particularly bright and beautiful.

Then he said: "Maybe it's because of the relationship between the two of us that it's easier to misunderstand." But I really want to resolve it all from the bottom of my heart, and I have no other dissenting intentions. ”

"You? Want to dissolve ...... What is the relationship between the Feng family and the Gu family? Su Jinyao really didn't expect that Feng Shusheng would say such a thing.

Feng Shusheng turned his head to look at Su Jinyao, nodded very seriously, and said, "Otherwise?" There is no real grudge between our two families, just some gaps in the officialdom. Is it possible that generation after generation will accumulate these little things into hatred and pass them on endlessly? ”

Su Jinyao was stunned, she wanted to

said something, but felt that Feng Shusheng was right about this matter.

And I didn't expect that Feng Shusheng, who seems to have such a good temperament, would have such thoughts.

After a pause, Su Jinyao asked with a smile: "Then what do you mean by provoking on the street on the day I return to the ancient family?" ”

"What if I say that I just want to see you, the strange woman who has subdued the prince's heart? I heard that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are childhood sweethearts, and they are engaged to each other for life in the countryside. So I want to see what kind of village girl she is, who can have such great ability. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Shusheng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "But, if I officially go to the Gu family to meet me, won't you think I have ulterior motives?" Anyway, they have to watch out for me, so it's better for me to show weakness first. ”

Su Jinyao was completely touched by Feng Shusheng's words, and suddenly felt that this kid's mind was indeed extraordinary.

Just imagine, the two families who were originally opposites, even if Feng Shusheng expressed his sincerity and wanted to see him, he was afraid that he would be regarded as ill-intentioned.

The Gu family not only won't let Su Jinyao meet him, but it is estimated that they will protect Su Jinyao more carefully.

But Feng Shusheng obviously looked like he was looking for fault, didn't he just see it? Not only did I see it, but I also had some connections to a greater or lesser extent, but the cost of this connection was a bit large, and poisoning was not a casual joke.

Seeing Su Jinyao's thoughtful look, Uncle Feng laughed twice and said, "Actually, since I was a child, I felt that there was no real irreconcilable contradiction. For example, my brother always wants to clean up the mess for me on the surface, but in fact, he provoked the eldest brother of the Gu family, and after I made a fuss, my brother will come to apologize. It's better than a stalemate between the two children, right? ”

"So, you always run to the Gu family, and when you come, you get into trouble, in fact, so that your brother can come to the Gu family to apologize under the pretext of cleaning up the mess?" Su Jinyao figured it out, but she felt that this method was a bit interesting.

Feng Shusheng nodded and said very seriously: "So for so many years, I have always been able to enter and leave the Gu family at will. I know you hate me, but at least you know I don't mean anything, right? ”

Su Jinyao took a breath and replied sincerely: "Yes, I can also feel that you have no malicious intentions, but you are not very reliable." ”

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with being unreliable. At least the heart is good, so that everyone will not deliberately wary of me. Feng Shusheng looked at the people around him, who were far away or near, and said, "Many of these people are not my friends, but they don't hate me either. Most people think I'm a swinger, not really dangerous, and don't want to deal with me. Isn't that great? It's better than making enemies everywhere, always beware of being framed by others, and being guarded against by others. ”

After saying this, Feng Shusheng breathed a long sigh of relief, then looked at Su Jinyao and smiled, and told Su Jinyao with a very sincere smile and eyes that what he said was sincere.

Su Jinyao let go of her eyes and looked at Feng Shusheng for a moment, and she could feel the sincerity from the bottom of his eyes.

Su Jinyao stretched out her fist at Feng Shusheng, not to hit him, but to make friends with him.

Feng Shusheng looked at Su Jinyao's outstretched little hand, and his pink fist was like white jade......

The third prince provoked again

Feng Shusheng looked at the pink fist that Su Jinyao stretched out in front of him, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Forget it, I have received my wishes." But I can't touch the princess's hand. ”

Su Jinyao withdrew her hand stupidly, smiled, and the suspicion in her heart suddenly disappeared, but she felt that she had one more friend.

Feng Shusheng said again: "Actually, I came today just to see the excitement. Just like you, you don't need to be married. ”

"Why? You're not a big guy. Su Jinyao asked curiously.

Although Feng Shusheng doesn't look very old, according to this age in ancient times, he should have reached the age of marriage. But looking at what he meant, he was really not in a hurry at all.

Feng Shusheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You all know that I am unreliable, so whether it is the queen mother or the queen, they actually don't treat me very much." Therefore, it is not my turn to do such a good thing as marriage. It seems that I am going to find a daughter-in-law by myself. ”

After speaking, he deliberately squeezed his eyes at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao always felt that Feng Shusheng's eyes and expressions had ulterior motives.

But before she had time to ponder for a while, she heard a voice behind her: "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be here, and you are still talking to this kid from the Feng family." ”

Su Jinyao turned her head when she heard this "imperial sister-in-law", and saw the third prince Cang Qianmiao standing not far away with his elbows in his arms, and behind him was a strangely shaped Taihu Lake stone.

It seems that he should have been behind the stone before, and there were many people and noise here, Su Jinyao didn't pay attention to who was nearby, it was likely that when she was talking to Feng Shusheng, the third prince had already heard it behind the stone.

Although it didn't matter, Su Jinyao was very unhappy in her heart.

First of all, it was because he had a bad impression of the third prince, and secondly, it was too impolite for him to deliberately eavesdrop like this. And listening to his tone, he was clearly ridiculing.

Su Jinyao said: "Third prince, who I talk to, I really don't bother you. If you yourself feel that standing here is in the way, please move the place. ”

The third prince also knew that Su Jinyao would definitely not want to see him, and he was about to leave. But after taking two steps, he turned his head to look at Feng Shusheng, and said, "Feng family, since you are not here to ask for marriage, why do you want to stay here?" ”

This was obviously what Su Jinyao couldn't do, so he pointed the finger at Feng Shusheng and deliberately bullied him.

Su Jinyao was already friends with Feng Shusheng, so she was a little protective, and stepped forward and said, "I called him here." I want to get to know his two beautiful sisters and be friends in the future. ”

"Oh, that's just right, I also intend to get to know the two girls of the Feng family." After the third prince finished speaking, his eyes swept around, as if he was looking for someone.

But his eyes turned around and landed somewhere, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a deep smile.

Su Jinyao followed his gaze and looked at him, and there was a "pop" in her heart. Because where the eyes of the three princes stayed, stood Gu Xueqi, who was silently distracted.

After a while, the third prince turned to Su Jinyao again and said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, I suddenly feel that the daughter of the Gu family is better. Not only is her appearance beautiful, but her temper is gentle and quiet. Just sitting there is like a picture of a lady, and that indisputable temperament is the most suitable for the royal family. ”

After that, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the third prince actually walked in the direction of Gu Xueqi.

Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes, and the fire in her heart had already sparked. She knew that this was a deliberate provocation by the third prince.

But on the contrary, if the third prince really chose Gu Xueqi, what could he do?

Find Gu Xuebin and ask him to tell the emperor that Gu Xueqi is unwilling to marry the third prince? Or find the queen mother, saying that the third prince has ulterior motives to marry the daughter of the ancient family?

But just imagine, under such a marriage, which one does not have ulterior motives.

Su Jinyao didn't have the impulse to stop it, but silently gritted her teeth in place. She has already seen that the purpose of the third prince is by no means simple, if she goes over now, she may fall for his plan.

But if the third prince really provokes Gu Xueqi, or intends to let the queen give them a marriage, Su Jinyao will definitely not sit idly by.

Feng Shusheng stood aside, he knew that Su Jinyao and Feng Shusheng had no room to interject.

But after seeing Su Jinyao's eyes, he immediately walked over and blocked Su Jinyao's view of the third prince.

Su Jinyao's smile suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she was still a little angry for a while, and she looked at him again and felt so unpleasant.

But Feng Shusheng lowered his voice and said, "Sister of the Gu family, you are not so reckless, right?" The third prince is different from me, he is not a person who is fine if you poison it with Gu poison. The man behind him is a big master. ”

Feng Shusheng's voice was very quiet, but Su Jinyao still heard it clearly. At the same time, she immediately understood that this might be...... What does the queen mean?

Su Jinyao looked at no one on the left and right, in fact, except for the three princes who deliberately approached just now, everyone else was busy communicating, and no one paid attention to them at all.

Su Jinyao also lowered her voice and said, "If it's you, what can you do?" ”

Of course, Feng Shusheng understood what Su Jinyao meant. Just asked: "You mean, Gu Xueqi and the third prince are not suitable?" ”

Su Jinyao said: "At least I know that Xue Qi is definitely unwilling." ”

"Find another target." Feng Shusheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it's me, force him to shift the target." Find a more suitable one, and Gu Xueqi will be safe. ”

Su Jinyao glared at Feng Shusheng, of course she understood this truth. But then he felt that something was wrong, and asked him coldly: "What do you mean by this?" Do you want the third prince to marry your sister? ”

Su Jinyao suddenly felt that Feng Shusheng was really not simple. This game of chess was played by him very well.

If Su Jinyao dealt with the three princes for Gu Xueqi, then the safest and less controversial way was to distract the attention of the three princes from other girls.

But at present, the most suitable ones are the two girls of the Feng family. And if the Feng family leans on the third prince, it is equivalent to approaching the queen mother, and the Feng family's bargaining chips in the royal family are equivalent to one more.

Just imagine, Su Jinyao became the crown princess, which is a plus for the ancient family.

And if the daughter of the Feng family becomes the imperial concubine of the third prince, although the name is different, but the queen's power is there after all, and the Gu family is not a minus.

Su Jinyao looked at Feng Shusheng with a sneer, and said in a deep voice: "I really didn't expect that you came to approach me and show favor to me, it turned out to be for your Feng family." ”

Feng Shusheng was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard Su Jinyao's words, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Is there anything wrong with me for the Feng family?" Haven't you thought that the balance of power is also a kind of restraint and protection? ”

Join forces with Feng Shusheng

Feng Shusheng said a little helplessly: "If our Feng family withdraws from this game, your Gu family will dominate the DPRK in the future." In the future, all the spearheads will be pointed at the Gu family, and the problems you and the crown prince will face will definitely not be comparable to the Feng family. ”

Su Jinyao is so smart, of course, she can understand it at all.

Before, she was just interested in Gu Xueqi because the third prince was not interested, and she only thought about how to help Gu Xueqi. At the same time, he also thought that he couldn't let the Feng family benefit from the fisherman.

But now when I heard Feng Shusheng say this, I immediately understood that Feng Shusheng's intentions were actually not bad.

The balance of power between the DPRK and China, the Feng family and the Gu family restrain each other, and the emperor, the queen mother and the empress can truly feel at ease.

But if the Gu family really overwhelms the Feng family, then the emperor will definitely cultivate another force to restrain the Gu family, so as to guard against the Gu family's high merit and overpower, and it is possible to turn back in the end.

This is like the Fang family back then, relying on Tuoba Yunji wholeheartedly, and trying to help the prince ascend to the throne, but in the end he went too far, but was obliterated by the emperor's secret order.

And even if the Feng family really married their daughter to the third prince, on the surface, it seemed that they would take back a city, and they would have a bargaining chip against the Gu family.

But in fact, Gu Xuebin, as the crown prince, still has the same monopoly power, and what the third prince wants to do is also rely on the support of the queen, which is a bit of a misname and unspeakable, so the Feng family still can't pose the slightest threat to Gu Xuebin.

At present, it seems that as long as it does not pose a threat to Gu Xuebin, then on the other hand, the Gu family must be safe.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao took a deep breath, and when she looked at Feng Shusheng again, there was a little more approval in her eyes.

Originally, Su Jinyao just thought that he and Feng Shusheng could become friends, but now it seems that he can still be an opponent. Of course
