"The princess, the prince is back." When Zhou Ruijing came back, Danzhi hurriedly went to find Gu Wanyin quietly.

When Gu Wanyin heard this, she hurriedly put down her pen and glanced at the hourglass, only to realize that it had reached this hour. Hurriedly put down the pen and greeted him.

However, at this time, Zhou Ruijing had already changed his clothes.

"Why don't you wait for me?" Gu Wanyin glanced at him with some disgust, and reached out to tidy up the collar and belt for him.

Zhou Ruijing looked down at her, but felt that she was not as usual today. However, when she was worried about the situation on the Gu family's side, she took the initiative to speak: "I believe that the Yang family will soon let go." Although he did not take the initiative to come forward, he secretly invited many people with heads and faces to mediate, believing that the Yang family and the Qi family would always sell face. I won't offend all these people for such a trivial matter.

Gu Wanyin naturally knew that he had made a lot of efforts in it, and looked at him gratefully at the moment: "I thank the prince for Cong Qi." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to reconcile this time. ”

The corners of Zhou Ruijing's lips curled into a gentle smile: "Don't forget, Cong Qi called me brother-in-law." ”

Gu Wanyin's face was suddenly a little hot, and she looked at him with disgust, but she couldn't help but show a sweet smile.

After eating, she accompanied him to greet the old lady.

However, the attitude of the old lady towards her today is somewhat strange. changed from the kindness of the past, his face was cold, and he only cared about talking to Zhou Ruijing, but he didn't even look at her, as if she didn't exist at all.

You must know that in the past, even if the old lady was disliked, in front of others, especially in front of Zhou Ruijing, she would never show half of it. But today it ......

Gu Wanyin lowered her head and sat next to Zhou Ruijing. Like a mirror in her heart: today she drove away the second wife, and said that conversation with Li alone. The old lady was afraid that she was very unhappy. felt that she was disobedient and disobedient.

Zhou Ruijing naturally noticed it, although it was strange, he didn't ask. Just as if you didn't see anything. But in her heart, she realized: Is her unhappiness today related to the old lady?

However, in front of the old lady, he naturally didn't ask, and he only talked to the old lady as usual, and there was nothing abnormal.

But the old lady asked about the things in the palace: "I heard from the outside that the eldest son of the fourth prince seems to be sick?" ”

Zhou Ruijing is not shy about it. Nodding: "I heard so." "So during this time, the fourth prince was not in a good mood, he got drunk a few times, and even neglected official duties. The saint had already reprimanded him fiercely in the court.

"The Queen Mother loves the four princes the most." The old lady sighed: "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother is also in a bad mood." ”

Zhou Ruijing's thin lips pursed. "If the old lady is worried. handed the post into the palace to see the queen mother. ”

"When you're old, you're lazy to move." The old lady smiled slightly: "It's you, if you have time, go and see the Queen Mother." "Have a good relationship with the Queen Mother. For him, there is only good and no harm.

Zhou Ruijing nodded, glanced sideways at Gu Wanyin, and showed a hint of gentleness: "Yes, I will go with Wanyin another day." ”

Suddenly, hearing him mention himself, Gu Wanyin hurriedly raised her head. Subconsciously, I went to see the old lady's reaction, and saw that the old lady's face was dark. He hurriedly smiled and said, "How can I have that qualification to see the Queen Mother?" Who I am—"

It's just that when the old lady heard her say this, she didn't think she was self-aware, but was a little annoyed, so she opened her mouth and reprimanded: "You are no longer Miss Gu Family, you are the princess of the Southern King of Zhentang!" ”

Gu Wanyin quietly clenched her fists. The old lady clearly looked down on the Gu family. Just glanced at Zhou Ruijing next to her, she exhaled again, slowly suppressed her anger, lowered her eyelashes to cover the emotions under her eyes, and said meekly: "The old lady has learned a lesson." Then when the prince is free, I will enter the palace for the old lady to greet the queen mother. ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and frowned, but found that she could not refute this at all. In order to vent her dissatisfaction, she reprimanded her with her identity, but at this time she found that she had moved a stone and shot herself in the foot. To be honest, the old lady didn't want Gu Wanyin to enter the palace.

Gu Wanyin's background is not high, and she still shows up everywhere like this, which will inevitably make people laugh at their Zhou family.

It's just that now the words have been exported, but they can't be taken back. The old lady had to suppress the reluctance in her heart, and instructed unceremoniously: "After entering the palace, remember to see more and talk less, don't lose the face of our Zhou family." ”

Before Gu Wanyin could speak, she heard Zhou Ruijing next to her suddenly speak: "Wanyin has entered the palace a few times, and she must be very familiar with the rules in the palace. The old lady forgot that the Queen Mother also likes Wanyin very much. ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhou Ruijing, and suddenly realized that she was out of shape. He suppressed his emotions and put on a kind face and smiled: "Okay." It's almost time for you to go back, I'm tired and resting. ”

Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing withdrew.

Out of the old lady's courtyard, the two of them walked back in silence, neither of them meant to speak. Especially Gu Wanyin, she felt a little uncomfortable. After she got married, she knew that her background was not high, so she followed the old lady everywhere and tried not to cause trouble. I didn't want to make the old lady angry and bored, but I didn't expect it......

Today, the old lady actually gave her an ugly look in front of Zhou Ruijing.

Not only did I feel sad in my heart, but I also felt ...... Embarrass.

Presumably, Zhou Ruijing is the same in his heart? If he hadn't married her, if he had changed to another family background, Zhou Ruijing would probably not be so embarrassed. How difficult should it be to be reprimanded by your own grandmother for your wife like this? One is my grandmother, and the other is my wife......

"The old lady doesn't know your merits." Zhou Ruijing's voice came from beside him, as if there was a magnetic xing in the darkness, gentle and mellow.

Gu Wanyin paused at her feet, then raised her head with a smile and smiled sweetly: "It's okay." After a long time, it will always be fine. Perhaps as time passes, as she tries hard, the old lady will always change her opinion of her. Even if the old lady has never been able to change her opinion of her, as long as he knows how good she is, she has no regrets.

"Even if the old lady doesn't like it, as long as we live well, we don't need to care about what others think." Zhou Ruijing stretched out his hand, held her familiarly, and said with a serious expression.

Gu Wanyin involuntarily nodded slightly. Hearing his words, it was strange that the sadness in her heart had dissipated without a trace, and was replaced by a joy of great satisfaction.

Perhaps, this is what people often say, don't envy mandarin ducks and immortals?

"The eldest son of the fourth prince, what kind of disease is it?" Looking at each other in pairs, she blushed for no reason, so she lowered her head and diverted the topic.

Zhou Ruijing lowered his eyes and looked at her eyelashes trembling like a feather fan, and his heart couldn't help but feel soft, but seeing that she was a little shy, he also suppressed his emotions and said softly: "Let's go back to the house." There are some things that should not be passed on. ”

Gu Wanyin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted - it seems that the matter is very serious? If it is an ordinary disease, it is not afraid to be known, and there is no doubt that someone will send a secret recipe to please the heavenly family. But it's so hidden

Originally, she wanted to ask about Concubine Rong's fall from grace, but seeing that Zhou Ruijing said it so seriously, she didn't ask. It wasn't until she returned to the house that she looked at Zhou Ruijing, but before she could speak, Zhou Ruijing said as if she had already sensed: "The eldest son of the fourth prince seems to have a crippled leg. ”

"What?" She was completely stunned. I thought it was some kind of incurable disease, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. I can't help but think of the bright and charming appearance of the four princesses. I don't know, how sad are the four princesses? If it weren't for this child, the fourth prince would have accepted the side concubine.

In fact, since getting married, her relationship with Zhou Ruijing has become deeper and deeper, and she is gradually able to understand the mood of the fourth princess at that time. That kind of mood is the same as her refusal to agree to Li's proposal today.

It's just that it's difficult for the four princesses, and they have the courage to reveal their thoughts in public. Even the Queen Mother, because she was pregnant, actually gave up the idea of giving the fourth prince a concubine.

So when I suddenly heard that the child of the fourth princess had a leg disease, I was surprised, and I was a little emotional, and even a little sympathetic.

"The feet are soft as cotton, and they have no strength. After taking a lot of medicine, it doesn't work, but I'm afraid that this life is ......" Zhou Ruijing was stunned when she saw her, but after a pause, she didn't finish her words.

"I heard that Concubine Rong is pregnant?" Gu Wanyin sighed, and put this matter aside. Either way, it's someone else's business. What do you care about, it's better to care about Concubine Rong. At least if Concubine Rong is favored, the Gu family can still be polished. Now Concubine Rong has suddenly fallen out of favor, but it is worrying.

Zhou Ruijing took a sip of tea, glanced at her quietly, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and finally didn't want to hide it from her, so he said, "It's true that I'm pregnant." However, Concubine Rong was pampered and arrogant, and yesterday the saint decreed that she lowered her position. ”

"Pampered and arrogant?" Gu Wanyin was stunned and slowly frowned. Concubine Rong has been in the palace for many years and has a very good reputation. Otherwise, they would not have been crowned concubines without heirs. If she is proud of her pregnancy, she is a little unbelievable.

"The little princess who hurt Concubine Duan." A trace of coldness flashed in Zhou Ruijing's eyes: "The saint is Long Yan's anger." If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Rong was pregnant, I was afraid that the punishment would be heavier. ”

Gu Wanyin was stunned again. From a few words inside, she heard a hint of conspiracy from it. Concubine Rong is pampered and arrogant, showing off or asking the saint what he wants, it is reasonable. But if it hurts people, it is still Duan Guifei's little princess who hurts...... How many years has Concubine Rong been in the palace? Would you do such a stupid thing?

However, it is no wonder that Concubine Rong is unwilling to help now, there is such a big thing, Concubine Rong is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect herself. It's just that the Gu family will be implicated? After all, there are not a few people in this harem who compete for favor and implicate their mother's family.
