When these words fell, Chu Nian raised his eyes, and then he faced a pair of inky pupils like a deep pool, these eyes were bottomless, as if one more glance made people can't help but indulge in it. Fastest update┏┛

"You know very well that I will only marry you in this life."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I mean ......"

"As soon as my father returns, I will ask to marry you."

The voice seemed to carry a rock, and it took root when it landed, and an inexplicable stability suddenly rose in Chu Nian's heart, she grinned slightly, and lowered her eyes again, "If you don't marry, no one will say how you are." ”

"If I don't marry ......" Ming Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and at the end, his big hand rubbed her pale little face, "If I don't marry you, I will definitely not marry someone else, this is my promise to you." ”

"You can recuperate in peace, if I listen to the dark three and they say that you didn't stay in the Chu family well, then I will look for you, where are you, I will go where to catch you back."

Chu Nian couldn't help but smile lightly, and saw that the person had bent down and hugged her deep into his arms, "If you don't abandon me on the day, I will definitely not fail you, there are thousands of women in this world, but you are the only one who understands me." ”

……

Chu Nian listened to Ming Xiu's instructions and recuperated in the Chu family, and Chu Yuanlang, who was confined at home, often circled in front of Chu Nian, but didn't say anything.

On this day, Chu Nianfang frowned and watched Chu Yuanlang neatly arrange the five apples he had peeled on the table, and then reached out to scoop the grapes, and she pulled out of the scroll in her hand.

"If you want to see Ah Qing, the night will pass, and the left and right secret guards often haunt at night, even if someone finds you running out of the house, they may not be able to recognize you."

Chu Yuanlang's face immediately turned red, "Sister, I'm not ......"

"If you don't, don't harm my fruit, don't eat it after you cut it, how much food is enough for you to squander it like this."

Seeing Chu Nian joking, Chu Yuanlang's face became more and more red and dripping blood, this is, I saw Chu Ning hurriedly come in, "Third sister, the county lord of Anning said ......"

She paused in her voice, looked at Chu Yuanlang, and looked stunned, "Who is this?" ”

Chu Nian remembered that Chu Yuanlang had come from Guijing, and he hadn't taken him to meet the new members of the Chu family, and Chu Ning had been forced by Chu Nian to go out to socialize in the past few days, and he had gone home.

"That's right," Chu Nian looked up at Chu Ning with a smile, "Your birthday is a few days younger than Yuan Lang, and it is also feasible to call your brother, Yuan Lang, this is your fourth sister, I gave her a private naturalization and called her Ning'er." ”

As early as when Chu Nian sat down and accepted Chu Ning as the Chu family, he asked someone to send the news to Chu Yuanlang, but at this moment, Chu Yuanlang was not surprised, he shifted his attention, his face was a little normal, and he nodded with a light smile, "Fourth sister." ”

Chu Ning's face turned red, and he gave a blessing, and then he turned his eyes to Chu Nian and said: "Third sister, when I went out to socialize, I heard that the county lord of Anning is claiming to be the prince's concubine, and this is going to come to our Chu family to visit you." ”

Chu Nian furrowed his brows, "So soon, you will consider yourself the crown prince's concubine?" ”

"It must have been the Queen Mother who said something to her." Chu Yuanlang took the stubble, and stuffed the peeled orange into Chu Ning's hand with a smile, "Fourth sister, eat quickly, I always want to clean up some fruits with itchy hands, but I don't want to eat it, and my sister will say that I am wasting food later." ”

Chu Ning smiled embarrassedly, and saw Mei Xiang coming in from outside, "Lady, the county lord of Anning sent a message and said that he would come over later." ”

"What a prayer here?" Chu Nian turned his eyes to look at the other two with amusement, "This is obviously not going to work, but it is still such a passing scene." ”

Chu Yuanlang smiled helplessly, "It's interesting, I just don't know, I just don't know, we are all cousins, what benefits can she get when she comes." ”

Chu Ning was thoughtful, but Chu Nian twisted his brows slightly, and said suspiciously: "But that day, I clearly explained the benefits and disadvantages to her, even if I was really a fool, I wouldn't work for the Queen Mother like this, right?" ”

A maid came in in a hurry, and before she could open her mouth, she saw Chu Nian sighing helplessly, "This worship post was delivered just now, and the person has already arrived, Yuanlang, you can avoid it, just let me go with Ning'er." ”

Chu Yuanlang was a little reluctant, but he still stayed in the house honestly, Chu Ning neatly stepped forward to support Chu Nian's body, and touched Chu Nian's cold hand, which was a little worried: "Sister, your body is ......"

"No problem." Chu Nian shook his head, and Mei Xiang behind him also hurriedly followed, and the three of them walked towards the main hall together.

In the main hall, the county lord of Anning had already eaten half a cup of tea, and when Chu Nian came in, she stood up and said with a happy face: "County lord, let's meet again, when I bow down, I'm still afraid that the county lord won't want to see me." ”

Chu Nian glanced at her and smiled lightly, "In the heart of the county lord of Anning, I am such a narrow-minded person? ”

Seeing Chu Nian and Chu Ning sitting down on the main seat together, the county lord of An Ning sat back in his position, raised his head and looked at Chu Nian carefully, "The county lord's face looks better than that day, I heard that the county lord has a strange illness, I don't know if I have asked the imperial doctor." ”

Looking at this appearance, it seems that he simply came to visit Chu Nian, which makes people forget that this person has already regarded himself as the prince's concubine.

"There is a medical center at home, and I don't work too much, but now my sister's illness has improved too much, thank you for the county lord's concern."

It was Chu Ning on the side who answered, and the county lord of Anning saw that Chu Nian didn't speak, a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just put up a smile and said: "Presumably the rumors outside, the county lord has heard about it." ”

Chu Ning turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, and saw Chu Nian raise his eyebrows slightly, "I want to congratulate the county lord of Anning on becoming the prince's concubine?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the county lord of An Ning did not have the reaction that Chu Nian expected, only to see her waving her hand again and again, "The county lord has tormented me, with the county lord here, how dare I call the prince a side concubine, besides, I am only a county lord, how can I be worthy of His Royal Highness the prince." ”

Chu Nian and Chu Ning had differences in their eyes, so they saw Chu Ning open his mouth and said, "The day before yesterday, the flower viewing banquet, didn't the county lord still say ......?"

The county lord of Anning suddenly sank his face, and said with a mysterious expression: "Don't hide it from the county lord, I am really forced to be helpless when I say this now, otherwise, who would dare to openly oppose the county lord?" ”

Chu Nian's brows furrowed slightly, "Oh? Today, the county lord of Anning wants to tell me, who is so bold as to force me to speak wildly to the county lord in public? ”

Hearing the displeasure in Chu Nian's words, the county lord of Anning's face was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I Gu Anhou Mansion's loyalty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also clear, I don't dare to make a mistake, but my Gu Anhou Mansion is just an empty shelf now, and you also know it, county lord." ”

Chu Nian squinted his eyes lazily, and didn't answer, the county lord of Anning said this, and he didn't know whether to say it next, this Zifang picked up the teacup uncomfortably, and secretly probed Chu Nian's face while sitting still.

Chu Ning glanced at Chu Nian, and then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the loyalty of the Marquis of Gu Anhou and the meaning of the county lord's words, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recognized the identity of the county lord as the prince's side concubine?" ”

"No, no, no...... Chu Siniang don't want to scare me, the county lord ......" She said cautiously: "Do you remember the county lord who met at the gate of Cining Palace that day?" ”

A flash of understanding flashed in Chu Nian's eyes, but he still sat in place with a smile, "You say, the day you and I 'talked very happily'?" ”

The county lord of Anning turned red again, and hurriedly said: "I, Gu Anhou Mansion, do not have the backstage and power like other officials, and I can only give in when I encounter oppression, so the county lord can understand our situation, and the adults don't remember the villains." ”

Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes, shook his head and chuckled, but refused to express his position.

This county lord of Anning seemed to be a little anxious, "County lord, this matter is really the Empress Dowager's pressure on my Gu Anhou Mansion, and we have no choice but to obey the Empress Dowager's wishes, this is ......"

"Then now that you come to sue, you are not afraid that I will say that you are the grass on the wall." Chu Nian calmly picked up the teacup, and when he raised his head, the corners of his mouth were still a smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

Seeing that the county lord of Anning gritted his teeth, he said: "The county lord is an understanding person, and I don't want to talk around the bush, the current situation is also obvious, it has long been not inclined to the queen mother, and now the queen mother has no one around her, and finding us county lords is just to have a way out to make a comeback, Rao is our Gu Anhou Mansion is just a chess piece under her hand that can be discarded at any time." ”

She paused, and there seemed to be a trace of loneliness in her eyes, "I, Gu Anhou Mansion, is already at the end of the road, and I can't afford to toss like this, I said those words before, but it was because I was deceived by the Queen Mother, thinking that the county lord was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard......"

"Now, I don't dare to ask the county lord for forgiveness, I just hope that the county lord can let me go of Gu Anhou Mansion and give me at least a way out of Gu Anhou Mansion."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Chu Nian as if she was resolute, "As long as the county lord can leave a shelter for me Gu Anhou's mansion, and ask me to do anything Gu Anhou, I will never complain." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chu Ning next to him, and saw Chu Ning squinting his eyes and looking at the county lord of Anning inquiringly, "The county lord of Anning has already said that Gu Anhou's mansion is just an empty shelf at the moment, so why does the county lord of Anning think that our Chu family will work hard for an empty shelf?" ”

A flash of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the county lord of Anning, but he saw her cheer up and said: "The queen mother trusts me very much now, and thinks that I am a very easy to control chess piece, just by virtue of this, I hope that the county lord can easily protect me Gu Anhou Mansion for a while." ”

Chu Ning frowned, and was just about to say something, when he saw Chu Nian waving his hand slightly, and looked at the county lord of Anning, "You are an understanding person?" ”

"It's true." Seeing that Chu Nian's attitude seemed to be a little looser, the county lord of Anning hurriedly spoke, "The county lord only knows that my Gu Anhou Mansion is lonely, and my younger brother is not a master of learning, but my father has always had great ambitions, but because he offended the above adults before, he has never been appreciated......

Looking at the increasingly lonely look of the county lord of Anning, Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, and he pondered for a while before he spoke: "If you keep following the queen mother, you will naturally get peace on one side, as for the other ......"

Chu Nian took a deep breath, "I will discuss the matter of the imperial examination with the prince for a while, if Gu Anhou really cares about the people, I will definitely not let such a talent fall to this point." ”

When these words fell, the county lord of Anning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Nian, "The county lord is very kind and virtuous, and he will never forget." ”

Chu Nian waved his hand, and Chu Ning immediately stepped forward to help the county lord of Anning up, "If you Gu Anhou Mansion understood the position you should have, and you had this world in your heart, then Gu Anhou Mansion should not have fallen into such a situation." ”
