Another day of tragic death for the host

Chapter 109 The Passerby A Script I Take 29

Chapter 109 The Passerby A Script I Take 29
This year's capital city is not as cold as in previous years, and there is no snow falling, but the cold wind is more piercing.

The defense of the capital is getting stricter and stricter, and there is a dignified atmosphere everywhere.

Although the streets are busier than usual, the atmosphere of the New Year is only spread among ordinary people.

Those dignitaries who loved to hold banquets in the past seem to have disappeared, and everything is quiet.

Xin He was also bewildered, and suddenly remembered that the emperor seemed to have passed away not long after the end of this year.

"Maomao, how is the emperor's current situation?"

"It's not very good. The second prince and the third prince have taken turns presiding over the court affairs. The imperial decree for the establishment of the prince has been drawn up. It should be similar to the original plot. By the way, Gu Zhouci is asking the queen mother for an imperial edict. The marriage between you two has been advanced to ten days later, which means that the emperor is happy."

Hearing this, Xinhe almost spit out a sip of tea.

Happy?

Xin He always felt that Gu Zhou's resignation was because he was afraid that if the emperor died suddenly, he would have to go into mourning for a year and the wedding would be delayed.

The queen mother also understands this truth, and naturally understands this meaning, but what she hopes more is that she can really be happy.

As soon as Shuangmao told Xinhe about this, the eldest princess came to the door the next day with the betrothal gift and people from the Ministry of Rites.

The emperor's brothers were all sent to the fiefdom, and only Gu Zhou was the one who remained in the capital. The status of the eldest prince and concubine was the most suitable.

In the hall, Xiang Xie and Mrs. Xie entertained the eldest princess and concubine in the living room, and Gu Zhou resigned from Xin He's yard.

Xinhe was lazily hanging on the swing chair to bask in the sun, while listening to Shuangmao telling her the latest gossip about what happened in the capital, halfway through the conversation, Shuangmao suddenly interjected: "Gu Zhou is resigning."

Xin He thought it was an auditory hallucination, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Zhouci sitting on the stone bench in front of her drinking tea.

Gu Zhouci looked at Xinhe, with a smile on his delicate eyebrows, "You are leisurely."

Xinhe's small face was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Oh, the people from the Ministry of Rites are discussing our marriage with your parents."

Gu Zhouci picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly tasted it with an elegant gesture.

Xin He knew that the wedding date was advanced, but she didn't expect that the people from the Ministry of Rites would come today: "So soon?"

Gu Zhouci turned his head and looked at her quietly, "Are you not happy?"

Being stared at by Gu Zhouci, Xin He quickly shook her head, "No, I'm very satisfied."

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Gu Zhouci put down his teacup, got up and shook his sleeves.

Xin He: "..."

Gu Zhouci has already got up, the meaning is obvious, can she say no?
Therefore, Xinhe could only helplessly follow behind Gu Zhouci.

Gu Zhouci's carriage stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he obviously didn't intend to ride in the carriage. When passing by, Xin He's gaze lingered on the carriage for a long time.

Seeing that Gu Zhouci still had no plans to take the carriage, Xin He could only hang his head in frustration.

Gu Zhouci looked at Xin He's expression a little funny, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.

Xin He was still thinking about the long journey ahead, and she was in a bad mood. Seeing that Gu Zhouci was messing with her hairstyle, she waved her paw away.

Gu Zhouci seemed to have anticipated Xin He's movements, dodged ahead of time, and then held her slender and soft fingers.

Xin He glared at Gu Zhouci, then turned away from looking at him.

Although Gu Zhouci didn't take the carriage that Xin He wanted to take, but after the two of them walked for a while, a servant brought him a horse.
