This year's capital is not as cold as in previous years, and the snow is not falling, but the cold wind is even more biting.

The garrison of the capital is getting stricter and stricter, and there is a solemn atmosphere everywhere.

Although the streets are more lively than usual, the atmosphere of the New Year is only spread among ordinary people.

The powerful people who loved to hold banquets in the past seem to have disappeared, and everywhere is quiet.

Xin He also realized it later, and suddenly remembered that the emperor seemed to have died not long after the end of this year.

"Maomao, how is the emperor's situation now?"

"It's not good, now I haven't even gone to the early court, the second prince and the third prince take turns to preside over the court affairs, and the holy decree of the crown prince has been prepared, it should be similar to the original plot, by the way, Gu Zhouci is asking the queen mother for a decree, and the marriage between the two of you will be advanced to ten days later, which means that the emperor is happy."

Xin He almost squirted out a sip of tea when he heard this.

Chongxi?

Xin He always felt that Gu Zhouci was afraid that if the emperor died suddenly, he would need to mourn for a year and delay the marriage.

The Queen Mother also understands this truth, and naturally understands this meaning, but she hopes that things can really be happy.

As soon as Shuangmao told Xin He about this, the eldest princess came to the door the next day with people from the dowry and the Ministry of Rites.

Several brothers of the emperor were all sent to the fiefdom, and only Gu Zhouci was the only one who remained in the capital, and the identity of the eldest princess was the most suitable.

In the hall, Xie Xiang and Mrs. Xie entertained the eldest princess and her party in the living room, and Gu Zhou resigned from Xin He's courtyard.

Xin He was lazily hanging on the swing chair basking in the sun, while listening to the double cat telling her the gossip about the recent events in the capital in her mind, and the double cat suddenly interjected in the middle of speaking: "Gu Zhou is here." ”

Xin He thought it was an auditory hallucination, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Zhouci sitting on the stone bench in front of her drinking tea.

Gu Zhouci looked at Xin He, with a hint of a smile in his delicate eyebrows, "You are leisurely." ”

Xin He's little face was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"Oh, the people from the Ministry of Rites are discussing our marriage with your father."

Gu Zhouci picked up the teacup and sniffed it gently, and then tasted it slowly, with an elegant posture.

Xin He knew that the wedding date was advanced, but he didn't expect the people from the Ministry of Rites to come today: "So fast? ”

Gu Zhouci looked at her faintly, "You're not happy?" ”

Being stared at by Gu Zhouci's straight gaze, Xin He hurriedly shook his head, "No, I'm satisfied." ”

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Gu Zhouci put down the teacup, got up and shook his sleeves.

Xin He: "......"

Gu Zhouci had already gotten up, the meaning was obvious, could she say no?

So, Xin He could only helplessly follow behind Gu Zhou's resignation.

Gu Zhouci's carriage stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he obviously didn't plan to take the carriage, and when he passed by, Xin He's eyes reluctantly stayed on the carriage for a while.

Seeing that Gu Zhouci still had no intention of taking the carriage, Xin He had no choice but to hang his head in frustration.

Gu Zhouci looked at Xin He's expression a little funny, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.

Xin He was still thinking that she would have to walk a long way in her mind, and she was in a bad mood, and when she saw that Gu Zhouci was still messing with her hairstyle, she directly waved it away with one paw.

Gu Zhouci seemed to anticipate Xin He's movements, dodged in advance, and then held her slender and soft fingers.

Xin He glared at Gu Zhouci, and then turned his head away from him.

Although Gu Zhouci didn't take the carriage that Xin He wanted to take, the two of them walked for a while, and a small servant brought him a horse.
