"The daughter sent someone to check, and if there was any news, it would be handed to the queen mother." The eldest princess of Duanqing also had the same doubts.

"Be discreet." The Queen Mother whispered.

After that, she comforted Yongjia a few words, and then wanted to leave the Hou Mansion.

The county lord of Yongjia chased after the queen mother and said, "Did my grandmother just watch Yongjia being bullied like this?" ”

Her mother is Her Royal Highness the noble eldest princess, the Queen Mother is her maternal grandmother, she herself is the lord of the first grade, her noble status is actually bullied by Gu Xiyan and has no power to fight back, how can she be willing?

The Queen Mother slowed down, looked back at the county lord of Yongjia, and said: "Yongjia, it is the emperor who punishes you today, Zhou Du is the emperor's favorite minister, and the emperor is the person to whom the emperor is oriented, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to bear it." You have to remember one thing, at all times, the emperor is supreme, and no one has crossed the rights of the emperor. ”

It is understandable that Yongjia was originally favored by them, but when he came to the emperor, the emperor was oriented towards Zhou Dusk, so Yongjia was wrong.

The county lord of Yongjia was silent.

According to her grandmother, if Her Majesty thinks she is wrong, then she is wrong, but Her Majesty is her uncle. Even if it is not a kiss, why does His Majesty want to look at Gu Xiyan, an outsider?

The royal car went to Zhou's house.

Emperor Cheng De didn't need to explain to anyone, but this time he still explained to Zhou Dui: "I didn't punish Yongjia heavily, because I didn't want you to set up too many enemies. The power of the Wang family is not small, you have just entered the officialdom, and there are too many enemies, so I am afraid that someone will make you a mix. ”

"The minister knows." Zhou Duan subconsciously looked at Gu Xiyan.

It's a big deal that he asked Zhiyuan to go to the Xuanchang Marquis Mansion again tonight, add some ingredients to the county lord of Yongjia, and let her taste the taste of not being able to survive and die.

Emperor Cheng De remembered that Gu Xiyan didn't know Zhou Dui's true identity yet, and he said that these Gu girls would be confused?

Gu Xiyan felt that it was inappropriate for her presence on this occasion, so she said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to go back to the Wanqing Marquis Mansion, is it okay?" ”

Emperor Chengde subconsciously looked at Zhou Dui, who was afraid that Gu Xiyan would be restrained, so he answered: "I'll send you back." ”

When Gu Xiyan heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, Your Majesty is here, Gongzi will accompany Your Majesty." I live next door, so I don't need a son-in-law to send me off. ”

Zhou Du was stubborn, and directly held her soft and boneless palm: "Then I'll send you to the door of the Hou Mansion." ”

Gu Xiyan looked at Emperor Cheng De, but saw that Emperor Cheng De was looking at her and Zhou Dula with a smile, and she blushed for a while.

In the end, she couldn't survive Zhou Dui and was sent back to the Hou Mansion by him.

When Zhou Du turned back, he saw his own father waiting for him with a smile.

"What is my father laughing at?" Zhou Du didn't know why.

Emperor Cheng De coughed lightly twice and restrained his smile: "When are you going to reveal your identity to Xiyan?" There is also the food festival, have you ever thought that Xiyan may really be the person behind the Jixianglou Food Festival? ”

"If she can earn 300,000 taels in just two days, that's her ability." Zhou Du led the way in front and took the lead in the tea room.

Emperor Chengde took a leisurely stroll and followed up in the tea room: "I have heard about Xiyan's encounter in the Hou Mansion as my father, have you ever thought that she may be a pawn sent by Wanqinghou to deliberately approach you?" ”

He had found out in the Xuanchang Marquis Mansion before, and Gu Xiyan didn't seem to be surprised at all that he was protecting Zhou Duan.

Just now, Gu Xiyan took the initiative to avoid it, could it be because Gu Xiyan knew Zimo's identity and was deliberately approaching Zimo?

Since ancient times, beauty tricks have been tried and tested, and even Zimo, who grew up in the Fallen Immortal Temple, has not been exempt from vulgarity.

Hearing this, Zhou Du smiled dumbly: "Father and Zhiyuan said the same. Imagine what happened to Xi Yan in the Wanqing Marquis Mansion over the years, and his father knew that this statement was not true. ”

After a moment of silence, he added, "Even if she was deliberately sent to approach me, it would be fine for me. I can only like her only one in my life, and there will be no one else. ”

Emperor Chengde spit out two words for a while: "Idiot!" ”

Zhou Du was noncommittal, he was hesitating to tell his father about his illness.

If he said this, the person in front of him would be sad again, right?

After only a moment's hesitation, he decided to press the matter for the time being.

"I want to cure my illness as soon as possible, can my father send someone to find a famous doctor?" Zhou Du felt that he should ask more practical questions.

"This matter has been dealt with, I haven't seen you in such a hurry before." Emperor Cheng De took a deep look at Zhou Du and felt that this child's temperament should not be so impatient.

"It would be nice if I could heal myself before I got married." Zhou Du said softly.

Emperor Cheng De nodded with satisfaction, he liked to see the child's active life.

"By the way, you're not going to tell Xiyan your identity?" Emperor Cheng De thought that Zhou Du had deliberately avoided his question and asked.

At this time, Qi Zhiyuan sent a pot of hot water inside, Zhou Du took it, stepped forward to make a pot of good tea, and then said: "If Xiyan knows my true identity, will she dislike me?" ”

Emperor Cheng De shook his head with a smile: "You kid thinks too much." You are my eldest son, she dares to dislike you? ”

"Does my father think the identity of the prince is very good? She had suffered so much before, and she grew up in a complex environment like the Liu family, and she wanted to marry a simple and simple family, not a royal family. The more Zhou Du said, the more he felt that his background was not good.

Emperor Cheng De said angrily: "Do you dislike my father? You still think about it more, Xi Yan has inquired about your background, and I think this matter is more important. ”

Zhou Du was stunned when he heard this.

After being reminded by his father, he suddenly found that Gu Xiyan had indeed not inquired about his life experience. They didn't get married before, and it was normal for her not to ask, but after they did, she didn't ask about his family.

On the day of the proposal, he only brought a few matchmakers to the door, and she was not accompanied by the elders in the family, and she never asked more.

It was as if she already knew who he was......

Emperor Cheng De saw Zhou Dui's strange expression, and knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Today, in the environment of the Marquis Xuanchang's Mansion, when facing the fierce and vicious family of the Queen Mother, Xiyan is also very calm. I remember that the outside world's evaluation of Xiyan was that he was boring, timid and cowardly, in fact, do you know Xiyan like this? Emperor Chengde asked.

He was afraid that his son would be fascinated by Gu Xiyan, and he was even more afraid that such a good Zimo would eventually be hurt by a woman.

Seeing that Zhou Du was silent, Emperor Cheng De said again: "If the food festival is really Xiyan making suggestions behind the scenes, then you should re-examine Xiyan." ”

Zhou Du didn't know what to think, and suddenly smiled.

Emperor Chengde was inexplicable: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I was just thinking, if Xiyan is so good at making money, she will be able to support me when I leave the capital in the future." A smile also appeared in Zhou Dui's eyes.
