The floor tent curtain overnight, the clouds and rain are intertwined with the pillows, and the mandarin ducks go to the red luan brocade together, and the necks are lingering in each other's dreams.

Early the next morning, as soon as Gu Youlan finished breakfast, Steward Xue, the chief manager of the house, hurriedly came to report: "Young master, someone is coming to the palace!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Gu Youlan tacitly glanced at each other with Yan and Feifei: "What do you mean by coming?" ”

"The person who came said that it was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and not only sent a lot of gifts, but also sent an invitation!" Steward Xue said as he handed a big red invitation to Gu Youlan.

"It was actually sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Gu Youlan opened the letterhead suspiciously, and the content of the letterhead was nothing more than that the prince was going to celebrate his birthday and invited all the major families and magnates in the capital to come to the banquet.

Gu Youlan, who has always been calm, suddenly became a little uncalm, if it was a gift and invitation sent by the second prince, it would be forgivable, but this early in the morning, why did it come to the prince's mansion?

Gu Youlan handed the letterhead to Yan, and then gently knocked on the table while looking at Yan and Feifei: "You may guess what the prince means?" ”

After Yan and Philip read the letterhead separately, they also lowered their heads with a heavy heart, no one knew what the prince was planning, and they didn't know if there were any clues on their side.

At this moment, Steward Xue, who had just come out of the door, ran in again with a panicked face: "Young master, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down, saying that he wants to see ......"

Steward Xue said half of his words, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then stopped talking, which made Gu Youlan and the others even more confused.

"Steward Xue, do you mean that the second prince himself is here?" Gu Youlanteng stood up: "Who does he want to see?" ”

"Young master, I also wonder, I don't know if to say it or not!" Steward Xue uncharacteristically grimaced his old face, saying no, not saying no.

"Say, there's something not to say!" Gu Youlan pushed the cups and bowls on the table forward and sat down again.

"Young master, the second prince said that he wants to see the empress of Baili Kingdom."

As soon as Steward Xue's words fell, Yan patted the table and stood up: "Seeing the empress of Baili Country, don't go to Baili Country and go to our Dongfang Mansion to do what?" Is His Royal Highness the Second Prince crazy? ”

"That's what I'm talking about, the old slave also told His Royal Highness the Second Prince, we don't have the Empress Dowager of the Baili Country in Dongfang Mansion, but His Royal Highness didn't listen, and said that he would let the young master go out and see him and understand!"

Yan listened to this, turned his head sideways and glared at Gu Youlan, which seemed to mean that it was all your fault, see how you end?

Rolling Yan's eyes, Gu Youlan straightened up and said to Steward Xue: "Okay, since he wants to see me, then ask him to talk in the living room, by the way, invite the eldest lady over!" ”

After that, he patted Yan's shoulder comfortingly, and gave Philip a look again, Philip nodded understandingly, and after a stick of incense, the three of them swaggered into the living room.

In the living room at this time, Duanmu Qinghe was drinking tea boredly, and Baili Xiangxue was sitting opposite him, also thinking about something with a look of indifference.

Seeing Gu Youlan and the three of them walking in unhurriedly, Duanmu Qinghe immediately stood up and gave a shallow salute.

"Duanmu Qinghe has seen a few." After that, a pair of starry eyes like torches stared at Gu Youlan, who was dressed in men's clothes.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" Gu Youlan also replied with a shallow salute, and then walked to the main seat and sat down, Yan and another man dressed as a man in yellow sat on the left and right sides of Gu Youlan.

"I wonder what His Highness has to teach you when he came to the house in person this time?" Gu Youlan, who had just sat down, asked Duanmu Qinghe.

Duanmu Qinghe did not reply immediately, but looked left and right at Yan and the yellow-clothed boy, and then at Baili Xiangxue, the meaning that was inconvenient to say was obvious.

"Your Highness, this is the Great Elder of Dongfang Mansion, this is my cousin, and that is my sister, all of them are members of your own family, you might as well tell me anything about it!" Gu Youlan immediately understood Duanmu Qinghe's intentions and hurriedly made it clear.

Hearing Gu Youlan's words, Baili Xiangxue looked at the boy in yellow with a surprised expression, but she was so smart that she didn't ask immediately, but picked up the teacup on the small table and drank it gently.

Seeing the yellow-clothed boy in Baili Xiangxue's movements, he hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and then stood up: "Great Elder, cousin, since Your Highness has something to say, then junior brother, I will go out with my eldest cousin first, I heard that the spirit wine of Jiulong Pavilion is good, it just so happens that I haven't tasted it yet!" ”

Yan heard what the yellow-clothed boy said, and secretly clenched his fists, while Gu Youlan nodded with a smile: "Well, cousin, you have just come to Duanmu Country, you should have a good stroll, then let the eldest sister accompany you out for a walk!" ”

As soon as Gu Youlan's words fell, the man in yellow immediately walked in front of Baili Xiangxue, took her hand, and ran out of the living room with a smoke.

As soon as she walked out of the living room, Baili Xiangxue flicked her sleeves, and then stood in place and stared at the boy in yellow: "Sixth sister, do you think that if you are disguised like this, I won't recognize you?" Is there something important that the second prince came in person? ”

"Hehe" The man in yellow quickly stopped when he heard this, and touched Baili Xiangxue with his shoulder with a smile on his face: "Second sister, you are really discerning, I am easy to look like this, you can see it?" That's amazing! ”

"Poor mouth, you asked Lord Philip to pretend to be you to deal with Duanmu Qinghe, did something happen that I don't know?"

Hearing Baili Xiangxue's words, Gu Youlan, who was disguised as a boy in yellow, immediately put away the smile on her face, and said with a straight face: "Second sister, let me ask you, according to your eyes, what do you think of this Duanmu Qinghe?" ”

"How's that?" Baili Xiangxue was confused when asked.

"Oh, why are you so stupid, do you think I asked the housekeeper to invite you over for tea?" Gu Youlan stomped her feet with a look of hatred that iron could not become steel.

"So what do you mean? Do you want to ......" Baili Xiangxue suddenly felt that there was something in Gu Youlan's words.

"How do you feel about him? Is it your chosen one? Gu Youlan took a step forward, her smart eyes revealing a hint of solemnity.

"Sixth sister, do you remember what I told you that day?" Baili Xiangxue had a mist in her eyes, and the Jinpa in her hand was rubbed into a ball by her.

Gu Youlan nodded: "Second sister, do you mean to say that as long as it is for the sake of Baili Country, you can ignore your own happiness?" ”

Baili Xiangxue nodded heavily, and a line of tears flowed down instantly: "Sixth sister, I know your intention to let me see Duanmu Qinghe in person, but I still say the same thing, as long as I can help Baili Country and help my father, I can do anything!" ”

Looking at such a hundred miles of Xiangxue, Gu Youlan's heart couldn't help but feel a little painful, and her lacquer-dyed eyes were also slightly red.

"Second sister, I'm sorry, although it is not yet certain whether it will be the crown prince or the second prince who will take over the imperial power, but your destination will definitely be this Duanmu country, but don't worry, no matter who it is in the end, you will be the queen, and with the support of the mother country of Baili, I will not let you be wronged!"

Tears flowed down her face, and Baili Xiangxue nodded with a wry smile: "Sixth sister, I have done so many wrong things, I no longer have the luxury of hoping for a good home, but I still want to thank you for everything you have done for me, not everyone can do it with virtue!" ”

Gently patting Baili Xiangxue's shoulder, Gu Youlan said softly: "Silly second sister, what are you doing with so much talk between my sisters?" As a princess, fate is like this, if I can do my best to make your fate better, I am still willing! ”

Baili Xiangxue finally sighed, nodded and didn't say anything more.

The breeze blows slowly, and the flowers in the garden are competing to open all kinds of flowers, swaying with the wind, but Gu Youlan and Baili Xiangxue, who are walking in the crowd, have their own hearts.

Gu Youlan knew that it was her own intention to let Baili Xiangxue marry Duanmu Guo, although she once hated her, and even hated her for not dying well, but after this journey, her heart was not as hard as a rock after all. She can kill the enemy and be resolute, but when it comes to her sisters who have blood and family ties with her, she still chooses to give in after all.

Although it is not their ultimate dream to let Baili Xiangxue and Baili Youyue marry and kiss, as a princess of a country, the destined result is nothing more than this, but with their own behind-the-scenes planning, they can make their ending better, and they are worthy of the blood of the Baili royal family.

Gu Youlan and Baili Xiangxue walked side by side among the flowers, although their hearts turned a thousand times, they both understood what the other party was thinking, and they both knew their own missions.

Half an hour later, Gu Youlan received a message from Yan that Duanmu Qinghe had left, and then pulled Baili Xiangxue, who was still full of worries, back to the living room.

At this time, Fei Fei, who had changed back to his original appearance, was sitting on a chair with Yan chatting about something, and when he saw Gu Youlan coming back, he immediately grinned.

"Sister, everything is really as you expected!"

Sitting on the chair, Gu Youlan cocked Erlang's legs: "Let's listen to it!" ”

"During this period of time, we followed the case of Duanmu Guobu Shilang step by step, although we found out the subordinate forces of all officials, but we did not escape the eyes of Duanmu Qinghe. This time, he not only wants us to secretly help him obtain imperial power, but also wants to marry the empress of Baili Country as the queen of his enthronement! ”

Hearing this, Gu Youlan nodded, as if she was not too surprised: "He just said this?" How do I hear that he asks us, does he have nothing to give? ”

Looking at Gu Youlan, who didn't care about it, Yan and Fei Fei looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "Girl, Duanmu Qinghe thinks that you are the one who went to the Mandarin Duck Dream with him last night, so he only made a request for self-righteousness, but did not put forward the intention of cooperation!" ”

"Hmph, what a pipe dream!" Gu Youlan snorted lightly, and then hooked the corners of her lips again, and her smart eyes revealed a wicked cunning.
