Gu Congyuan didn't really want to see this high-spirited Chu family, and they all said that they were scholars, but they were arrogant, but they could ignore him as the second highness.

To say that after Gu Congyuan came out of the Shadow Pavilion back then, he encountered a total of two near-devastating setbacks.

The second is that Gu Congyuan was suspected of being an illegitimate child, suspecting that he was the child born to Xiao Guifei and the former regent in an unclear way, and then the emperor was furious, and he also listened to those rumors in a daze, and directly sent Gu Congyuan to the frontier, and let a sixteen-year-old boy who was not very tough since he was a child go into battle to kill the enemy.

This is nothing more than an indirect recognition of his identity, and it is nothing more than treating Gu Congyuan as an outcast.

But Gu Congyuan is Gu Congyuan after all, he has a mission on him, and he also knows how dirty his identity is, so he naturally will not feel inferior because of his background.

After that, the momentum was like a bamboo, recovering southern Xinjiang, pacifying the traitors, and returning to the capital directly in style, which was something that no one expected.

But before that, there was one more thing that hit him the hardest.

That is the indifferent attitude of the Chu Hou Mansion towards Gu Congyuan, when he was young, he did like the beautiful and moving Chu Huaiyu, but because he didn't have much contact, he was more impatient, and he thought that this person was extremely smart......

It would be great if this woman could be his right-hand man and be close to him.

But unexpectedly, when Gu Congyuan had not yet become famous in the first battle, the Chu Hou Mansion did not look down on him at all, even if the Chu family all relied on the majesty and power left by their predecessors.

But in response to that sentence, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

"This isn't my side room." Before entering the door, Gu Congyuan suddenly paused, hugged Lu Yao's emaciated shoulders, and looked at Marquis Chu fixedly.

That person originally wanted to match the marriage between his eldest daughter and Gu Congyuan, and thought that the person was still haunted by his daughter-after all, the young talents in the capital all coveted their virtues one by one - but who knew that His Royal Highness King Cong was no longer the hairy boy of the year.

Marquis Chu couldn't help but smile stiffly, and asked slowly, "Then ...... this?" He was angry in his heart, no one had dared to directly contradict him for so many years, not to mention King Cong, who he despised the most, so he said, "Could it be Sister Ling?" I haven't heard of any other side sister of His Royal Highness King Cong who is so old? ”

Gu Congyuan hooked the corners of his mouth without smiling, and said bluntly: "This is the wife of this king, and the main room of King Cong's mansion will always be." ”

Lu Yao didn't expect him to say this directly in front of the high-ranking and powerful Marquis of Chu, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and a strange feeling came to her heart, until the tip of her nose was sour, she didn't know that she was moved.

Gu Congyuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He originally planned to enter the gate of the Chu family directly, but the Marquis of Chu's high-minded eyes when he looked at Lu Yao made Gu Congyuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

He seemed to be able to see through the man's faint, mocking and mocking eyes, and see his poor self back then.

Gu Congyuan knew this feeling of being despised very well, and he also felt Lu Yao's slight trembling, how could he sit idly by?

Marquis Chu is not a young and frivolous young man, even if he feels uncomfortable, he will not argue with Gu Congyuan more, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Cong is the number one player who can compete with the prince for the position of prince?

"The old man has just returned to Beijing recently, and many things are not clear." He forcibly pulled out a slight smile and said, "The chrysanthemums in the Hou Mansion are in full bloom, why don't His Royal Highness King Cong go in and take a look?" ”

Gu Congyuan bowed his head slightly, and led Lu Yao to the door of the mansion.

Lu Yao and he are not stunned who have never seen the world, the imperial garden in the palace has everything, what colorful flowers and plants have not been seen? But when they saw the golden chrysanthemums blooming in the Hou Mansion, they still couldn't help but think of a sentence that "the city is full of golden armor".

Gu Congyuan deliberately asked his subordinates not to accompany him, they just walked in by themselves, it was convenient to talk to Lu Yao at this time, but at every turn, one or two ministers who wanted to have a relationship with Cong Wang Pan came to salute.

He walked as he watched, and said with a sneer: "The Hou Mansion has not changed for so many years. ”

"Nothing has changed?" Lu Yao originally knew about the old affairs of the Cong Wangfu and the Hou Mansion, and when he heard him say this, his heart was very strange, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly.

But Gu Congyuan was busy looking at the eaves pavilion, and he didn't notice his wife's face, and only said honestly: "It's still so extravagant and wasteful." ”

Lu Yao thought he was going to say something, but he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, but when he heard him count the extravagance of the Chuhou Mansion, he couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "What? Our Royal Highness King Cong is this sour? ”

"The Cong Wangfu is not ......" Gu Congyuan was about to refute reluctantly, but when he saw the golden Hou Mansion everywhere, he was dumbfounded, and said, "Although the Cong Wangfu is not as large as the Hou Mansion and costs a lot, it has not been bad over the years, isn't it?" ”

Lu Yao said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, after all, our Lu family has also made a contribution......

"Madame, are you saying that this king eats soft rice?" There was no one left and right, Gu Congyuan became more and more unscrupulous when he spoke, narrowed his eyes and teased, "Could it be that in your heart, this king is just a little white face with soft hair?" ”

Seeing people like this, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile even more happily, stretched out his hand and gently patted his handsome little face, and exclaimed: "The face is quite white, but who dares to say that His Royal Highness King Cong eats soft rice?" ”

"Far away, close at hand." Gu Congyuan straightened up, stood with his hands in his hands, and couldn't help but snort and sneer.

At the moment when the two were laughing, there were always people coming and going in the corridor, and a woman in a pale pink dress was standing behind the shadow wall, but she refused to show her face for a long time, just watching all this with cold eyes.

Seeing that her face was wrong, a little maid asked in a low voice: "Miss, are you really not going to say hello to His Royal Highness?" ”

"Some are when they say hello, and they come to Japan for a long time." The talented and good-looking woman sneered, looking really proud.

She stood there again, looked at it quietly for a while, and said, "It's strange, I haven't seen him walk so warmly with other women before, even if he marries a woman, shouldn't he have a cold face?" Who is that woman? ”

The little maid just glanced at it, and couldn't help but have a sad face, and said: "She, she is Lu Yao, His Royal Highness King Cong is the best for her, no one can compare." ”

How can the name Lu Yao be like thunder, and who wouldn't know it? The rich lady glared, and the little maid realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she changed her words and said smartly: "But this person is from a small businessman, and her background is lowly, how many words does she know?" How many poems can you memorize? ”

"At most, it's just a cheap woman who wins the favor of King Cong with her young color, how can she compare to our young lady's talent and appearance?" She said in a ghostly way.

When he said this, he still obeyed the young lady's wishes, the man slowly raised his chin arrogantly, and his eyes looked extremely cold when he stared at Lu Yao, but when he turned to look at Gu Congyuan, he was no longer arrogant and arrogant, and now he is full of admiration for the handsome man.

She said with a smile: "This stupid woman, relying on her business mind, came to show off her might?" Sooner or later, Miss Ben will be trampled underfoot, so we'll see. ”

With that, the slender figure disappeared behind the shadow wall.

Lu Yao was still asking at this time: "Don't you say that this Miss Chu family is alluring to the country and the city, since she is such a person, why can't she see her figure for a long time?" ”

Gu Congyuan's face changed slightly, and he said, "Who knows." ”

Lu Yao looked at him and didn't speak for a long time, until the man cast a puzzled look, and she said sourly: "You shouldn't still have old feelings for so many years, right?" ”

Gu Congyuan subconsciously frowned, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Nonsense, how can this king ever have affection for that person?" ”

Lu Yao walked, swept the brocade of flowers casually, and said, "Isn't it clear if there is His Royal Highness King Cong?" I heard a lot about things back then, what was the reason for inviting us to the Chu family's family banquet this time, didn't you feel that the relationship between the Cong Wangfu and the Chu family was good? ”

"They feel like that's their business." Gu Congyuan followed her honestly, looking very obedient, lowered his eyelashes and said, "But the things back then were actually very simple, not to the point of giving up, but just being young and ignorant, so I learned from the fair lady and gentleman of others." ”

"As for what you've heard, I've heard at least several versions of it." He thought about it for a while, and said quite angrily, "I really suspect that these rumor-mongers were all hired by the Chu family for money, and they touted their young lady to the sky one by one, and trampled the king underneath, which is vulgar and disgusting." ”

Lu Yao suddenly heard a few bells ringing in front of her, and knew that the banquet was about to start, she grabbed King Cong's wrist and walked forward, turning back and saying, "Okay, I won't pursue the matter back then, but you'd better be well-behaved, don't forget how you told Marquis Chu." ”

She has always been sensible, and it is rare to be jealous, Gu Congyuan couldn't help but feel very fresh, and said continuously: "Naturally." ”

After taking a seat, Lu Yao knew what kind of concept these three or two friends had for the Marquis of Chu, almost full, and all the top people in the capital came.

She couldn't help but panic a little, and quietly rolled her eyes, and she didn't know where the eldest lady of the Zhong Ming Ding Food House was......

"I guess we just visited the garden, and everyone has already enjoyed the beautiful scenery, but it is really boring to only enjoy the flowers and not drink." Marquis Chu said, "Come on, bring up the century-old wine!" ”

Even Lu Yao frowned at this big deal, who said that the Chu family was poor? It's comparable to the richest man in the capital.

At this moment, an excited voice came from the crowd: "Miss Chu is here!" ”
