Hu Die accompanied Jian Junyi to the lake, the two didn't say a few words, but she was bitten by mosquitoes several times, and finally couldn't guess why Jian Junyi took her to the lake to blow the wind, so she left Jian Junyi in confusion and returned to Qishiyuan by herself.

The next day, she also told Gu Xiyan about it, Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing very hard, and she also felt that it would be difficult for Jian Junyi to make Hu Die open up if she continued like this.

Only she can't say anything, after all, this is the relationship between Hu Die and Jian Junyi. It's good to be able to succeed, but if it can't be done, the two of them have no chance.

Soon it was time for the old lady to hold a birthday banquet.

Early in the morning, the Wanqing Hou Mansion was overcrowded, and the magnates in the capital came to the Hou Mansion to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.

The reason why everyone is so actively involved in the birthday banquet is, of course, because there is a Gu Xiyan from Wanqinghou Mansion.

Now that the King of Qin has been grounded, the remnants of the Suzhou ink corruption case have not disappeared, but there are rumors that Emperor Chengde will soon make Zhou Du the crown prince, and now there is only one holy decree left.

Some people even say that today's Zhou Mansion, that is, the former Anwang Mansion, is very close to the palace, and it is to the east of the palace, and it is built with the specifications of the prince's mansion.

When the holy decree is issued, the Zhou Mansion will immediately be changed to the Prince's Mansion. From the beginning of the Chengde Emperor to re-edit the Zhou Mansion, Emperor Chengde's attitude of wanting to establish Zhou Du as the prince was clearly revealed.

If Zhou Du is made the crown prince, then Gu Xiyan is the crown princess, who doesn't want to stammer?

This old lady's birthday banquet is naturally the best opportunity to show her face in front of Gu Xiyan.

There have long been well-informed people in the capital who said categorically that not only Gu Xiyan will attend the old lady's birthday banquet, but even Zhou Du, the prince's candidate, will also attend the birthday banquet.

This is also the most fundamental reason for the gathering of powerful people in the Wanqing Hou Mansion.

As a birthday star, the old lady was not in such a good mood early in the morning, the main reason was that Liu Shu was fascinated by Anya, and never returned to the Hou Mansion after separating from the Wanqing Hou Mansion.

didn't even show her face at her birthday banquet, this is the good son she raised, and she was angry enough early in the morning.

Aunt Ci comforted her for a long time and told the old lady Wan Qinghou that there were many guests, and Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan also came to the Hou Mansion soon, and the old lady barely lifted her spirits and went out to greet the guests.

When Gu Xiyan and Zhou Du came to the Wanqing Marquis Mansion, the mansion was already overcrowded.

As soon as they appeared, all the guests came forward to salute them, and the old lady smiled with a wrinkle on her face.

Yu Ran stood in the crowd, secretly peeking at this legendary cousin who was like an immortal.

The moment she saw Zhou Dui's face clearly, she was only amazed, and felt that it was better to be famous than to see it.

In the past few days when the Yu family moved back to the capital, Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan have never visited the Yu family. Although Zhou Du is very busy, but no matter how busy the Yu family is, it is also Zhou Dui's grandfather's family, when his aunt tried her best to give birth to Zhou Dui and died, Zhou Dui treated his grandfather's family coldly like this?

If it is understandable that Zhou Dui is busy, what about Gu Xiyan?

Gu Xiyan is just a woman in the back house, so she always has time to walk around the Yu family, right? Favoring Xiyan, he never went to Yu's house to show his face.

Zhou Du and Gu Xiyan's attitude of turning a blind eye to the Yu family made the Yu family a laughing stock in the capital.

Yu Ran had a grudge against Zhou Dui, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Gu Xiyan is different, in her opinion, Gu Xiyan is not as close as the Yu family and Zhou Dui, Gu Xiyan is not kind, making the Yu family the laughing stock of the capital, which is unforgivable.

Old Mrs. Yu also looked at Gu Xiyan with critical eyes. I only felt that Gu Xiyan's appearance was too prosperous, and she didn't look dignified enough, and she didn't look as stable as her family Ran'er.

If it weren't for Zhou Dui's marriage, it would be a good thing for Ran Er to marry Zhou Dui, and it would be close to each other.

Gu Xiyan was talking with Zhou Dui, and suddenly felt that there was an unkind gaze looking at her, she followed the strong source of her gaze, and it turned out to be Mrs. Yu and Yu Ran.

In her previous life, she had also seen Mrs. Yu, when Zhou Du had become the emperor, and when Mrs. Yu took Yu Ran into the palace, Yu Ran was already married.

But Mrs. Yu was still planning to marry the daughter of the Yu family to Zhou Dui at that time, and was later directly invited out of the palace by Zhou Dui.

When I first saw this old lady in this life, I felt that Mrs. Yu's eyes were full of spying when she looked at her, and she was obviously dissatisfied with her.

Zhou Du soon saw Mrs. Yu and Yu Ran, but he didn't know these two, and he only felt that the way they looked at Xiyan made him dislike.

At this time, Gu Xiyan attached his ear to him: "That seems to be Mrs. Yu, that is, the grandmother of Gongzi." ”

Of course, she also has to call her grandmother.

"The other is your uncle's daughter, surnamed Yu Mingran." Gu Xiyan asked in a low voice, "Shall we go over to say hello?" ”

If you don't take the initiative to say hello, the people will only think that Zhou Du is unfilial, right?

If it weren't for the appearance of Mrs. Yu and Yu Ran at the old lady's birthday banquet today, she wouldn't have known that the Yu family had moved to the capital.

At that time, Zhou Du did not send Qi Youran to pick up the Yu family, but only sent inconsequential people to pick up the Yu family into Beijing.

Later, they went to Suzhou to investigate the case, and then returned to Beijing Zhou Du was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, how did they know that the Yu family had entered Beijing? What she couldn't understand the most was that the Yu family didn't even come to Zhou's mansion to show their faces, did they deliberately wait for Zhou Du to go to Yu's house first?

"We don't know the Yu family, why are we going to say hello?" Zhou Du glanced at Old Madam Yu and looked away.

Because of the large number of female dependents present, it was not good for him to stay for a long time, but he was worried that Old Lady Yu and Yu Ran would trouble Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan wanted to laugh when she heard Zhou Dui's advice: "Son, don't worry, with my current identity, who can make me suffer?" Childe go find the Hou Ye, I will accompany my grandmother to talk for a while. ”

Zhou Du still missed it, and was finally driven away by Gu Xiyan.

Seeing this scene from afar, Mrs. Yu's eyebrows twisted slightly, and she felt more and more that Gu Xiyan's actions were not solemn enough, so she pulled and pulled with Zhou Duir in front of the public, what kind of system did it become?

Just now, Gu Xiyan and Zhou Du saw that neither she nor Ran Er came to greet her, which was the source of her unhappiness.

Gu Xiyan pretended not to know that Mrs. Yu was staring at her, she was pulled by the old lady to sit down, and then Mrs. Yu finally found a chance to come over, and she made a fuss in public: "This is Xiyan, right?" Why don't you come to say hello when you see your grandmother? ”

For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Xiyan's face.

Gu Xiyan looked at Mrs. Yu blankly: "Did the old lady recognize the wrong person?" I haven't seen you before, and my grandmother can't come to see me in Beijing. Those who know my background know that the Gu family has never been close to me. ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Yu's face changed slightly.

Dare to love Gu Xiyan and not know her identity at all?

Yu Ran saw that the scene was embarrassing, and hurriedly found the stairs for Mrs. Yu: "Cousin-in-law, is this my cousin's maternal grandmother, or did my cousin send someone to pick up my grandmother into the capital, how could my cousin-in-law not know my grandmother?" (End of chapter)
