The next day, the capital was once again turbulent.

——The emperor has an order to make the third prince Chu Yunyi the crown prince and Gu Qingqiu the crown princess.

This news happened to come out on the second day after the queen was deposed and the whole Jiang family was imprisoned. For a while, no one could believe their ears.

When he learned of this, Gu Ning was sitting in the courtyard of the Xie Mansion, pointing at the cages placed all over the floor.

All the servants of the Xie Mansion were stopped outside the courtyard, only Yue Ming and Yue Rong were waiting on the sidelines. Every time Gu Ning spoke, their hearts would tremble.

"It's been half an hour since I picked out such a few things. If you want to collect all the betrothal gifts, I don't know how long it will take."

Yue Rong complained in a low voice, waved his sore arm, and said, "My arm is going to be sore from moving it back and forth."

The two huddled together and murmured, thinking that their voices were extremely low and would not be heard by Gu Ning.

However, with the increase in luck value, the weak spiritual power in Gu Ning's body has also grown. Although she still can't single out four strong men, but with the nourishment of spiritual power to her body, she has become clear-sighted, I have heard the discussion between the two of them.

She smiled sweetly, and raised her chin at Yue Rong: "It's been less than half an hour and your hands are sore. It seems that you haven't practiced hard enough. I must tell Xie Yan the truth about this and let him practice more. Train you so that you won't suffer in the future on the battlefield."

Hearing this, Yue Rong's head was as big as a bucket.

He quickly waved his hand: "This subordinate is just a joke, the county master must not take it seriously!"

"I'm just joking too. Guard Yue doesn't have to worry too much." Gu Ning said with a smile, "I think these pearls and jade are not very good in quality, so go and move the other things from the warehouse and let me choose another one." .”

How could Yue Rong dare to say no, he nodded quickly, with a flattering smile: "Your subordinate will move here."

Seeing Yue Rong's dog-legged appearance, Yue Ming rolled his eyes: "The county lord won't argue with you, why are you so worried?"

"The county master won't care, but our master won't care." Yue Rong said with lingering fear, "Brother, you don't know, because of my mouth, the master has punished me to go to the military camp many times."

"And there are people in the military camp who take care of me." Yue Rong emphasized the word "care" with a very bitter smile, "I don't want to go to the military camp anymore."

"The county lord is magnanimous and won't argue with you, but it's hard for others to talk about it." Yue Ming glanced at him coldly, "You have to keep this mouth in check, so as not to annoy the master again in the future!"

Yue Rong nodded, "That's natural! The county lord has a noble status, and naturally has a high vision. Most of these pearls and jade are collected from other places, so it is inevitable that they will be of different colors. I will definitely choose carefully this time. Satisfy the magistrate!"

The two gradually drifted away, Gu Ning opened his eyes, and held down Chunyu's fan-waving hand.

"They are all from the army. They must not understand the fineness of jewelry. Go and help."

"Yes."

No matter why Gu Ning pushed her away, Chunyu didn't answer, and immediately walked out.

It wasn't until Gu Ning was the only one left in the courtyard that Xie Yan came out from the back room.

"Not satisfied?"

Xie Yan's voice was hoarse after a nap, his phoenix eyes drooped, from Gu Ning's eyebrows to her open collar.

This is the happiest dress at the moment. A large piece of skin is exposed on the top of the skirt, and it has its own style. Wearing a cloak in winter, at first glance, you can't see this touch of spring, but when Gu Ning relaxes, once the cloak is opened, This piece of spring fell into the eyes of others.

Xie Yan frowned slightly. Before Gu Ning could react, he stretched out his hand and tied the cloak on Gu Ning's body tightly. His tone was quite serious: "It's very cold in winter, if you get cold, you will suffer. Few days."

Gu Ning didn't understand why, but Xie Yan's dangerous eyes made her nervous, and immediately wrapped her cloak obediently: "Are you awake? Do you know the news from the palace?"

"The spies have returned." Xie Yan nodded, and said in an unclear manner, "The position of the prince has been confirmed, it seems that the capital is going to be in chaos."

Gu Ning nodded and said his guesses one by one: "The emperor appointed Chu Yunyi as the prince, there must be other reasons besides Chu Yunyi's bitter tricks, but the enmity between Chu Yunyi and our Pei family is considered Now that it's over, don't you worry that he'll take his anger out on you?"

The Pei family is powerful, and Chu Yunyi also wants to avoid it, but as Xie Yan, as an upstart in his early years, Chu Yunyi has many ways to torment him.

However, Xie Yan's slender eyelashes drooped, covering the emotions in his eyes, and said indifferently: "He doesn't have that ability."

Gu Ning's eyeballs rolled around, flashing a sly look: "It seems that Mr. Xie is very confident?"

Xie Yan intentionally avoided this matter, he held Gu Ning's hand, and said softly: "Today, I am Muxiu, since you are not satisfied with the jewelry in the mansion, why don't you go to the jewelry shop in the city to have a look?"

"Okay!" Gu Ning agreed very readily, "I also want to go to the Emerald Pavilion to pick out jewelry, and there are other shops. I heard that since the bandits in Yuezhou were cleaned up, there are many people. A few merchants went to the Western Regions and brought back a lot of gems! I must carefully choose the jewelry that I am most satisfied with!"

Xie Yan looked at her dotingly, and nodded: "It's all up to you."

Panting, Yue Rong and Yue Ming carried a heavy wooden box, panting heavily as they walked: "You picked this, if the county lord is not satisfied..."

He said this to Chunyu, and Chunyu only glanced at him in disgust, then looked away: "If the county magistrate hadn't asked me to help, I wouldn't have come to do such a thankless job, hurry up! Missed the time of the county lord!"

"The master wants to avoid the limelight, so naturally he can't prepare the dowry with great fanfare, but we brothers can only do it! We have been in and out so many times, and you haven't seen it! We have hard work without credit! I can't get a good word from you!"

Yue Rong cried out loudly, very upset.

Chunyu took a few steps to the right, getting further away from him: "Keep your voice down! If you keep shouting, I'm afraid the whole capital will know that Mr. Xie is preparing a dowry to marry the county lord!"

Hearing this, Yue Rong immediately shut his mouth.

Yue Ming glared at him: "Instead of yelling here, it's better to walk faster and give the things to the county magistrate to choose!"

Being taught by the two, Yue Rong was very wronged, and finally entered the courtyard, but when he saw the empty courtyard, he seemed to understand something, and leaned against the wall weakly, feeling even more wronged in his heart.

"They're gone."

Yue Ming said helplessly: "The master and the county master are getting married soon, and they always have to go out for a walk. They can't meet until a few days before the wedding."

Yue Rong understood the truth, but he was still wronged.

"I also want to visit those jewelry shops for my future daughter-in-law."

Chunyu snorted coldly: "With your appearance, no woman would fall in love with you if she is blind."

"you!"

……

The two who made Yue Rong feel aggrieved were walking hand in hand on the street.

Xie Yan is very handsome. Although Gu Ning is wearing a veiled hat, his figure is slim. Even if he only shows his hands, it is enough to make people's eyes shine.

The two of them are like a golden boy and a jade girl, they are the focus of wherever they go.

They had just walked into the Emerald Pavilion hand in hand, and Xiao Ruyan, who had been following them all along the front street, couldn't sit still.

She stomped her feet resentfully, and asked the maid beside her.

"Where's the prince?"

"It's right next door to Huixian Building!"

The servant girl's voice was like a mosquito, and she was particularly afraid of Xiao Ruyan's cold face.

Seeing her appearance, Xiao Ruyan's face darkened: "Am I a man-eating Yaksha? Just be so courageous, leave my side as soon as possible!"

"Slaves dare not!" Upon hearing this, the maid hurriedly begged for mercy.

Sensing the gazes of those around him, Xiao Ruyan kicked the servant girl angrily, and cursed: "Hurry up and take me to Huixianlou! I want to see the prince!"

When she spoke, she glanced at the Jade Pavilion with resentment.

Today, she wanted to see what would happen to Gu Ning after the crown prince found out that Gu Ning had an affair with Xie Yan!

In Huixian Tower, Chu Yunyi drank cup after cup of wine, even so, his inner melancholy did not ease in the slightest.

At this time, the accompanying guards came in with complicated expressions: "Your Highness, Xiao Ruyan from the Xiao family is begging to see you."

"Xiao Ruyan?" Chu Yunyi frowned, "Drive her away!"

The guard whispered: "She said that she has very important news to inform His Highness, and it is about the Lord Changning."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunyi's thoughts became clear for a moment: "Gu Ning?"

"That's what she said."

"Let her in."

With Chu Yunyi waving his hand, the guard stepped aside, and Xiao Ruyan hurried in.

"Your Majesty, my servant!" When Xiao Ruyan spoke, he strode towards Chu Yunyi.

Seeing her move, Chu Yunyi quickly dodged, and said coldly: "Miss Xiao, please respect yourself! If you use this news as an excuse to get close to me, don't blame me..."

"No!" Xiao Ruyan said loudly, "My daughter just thinks this matter is of great importance, and I can't let others listen to it!"

Chu Yunyi looked at Xiao Ruyan suspiciously, but Xiao Ruyan's face was frank, and with the guards at his side, Chu Yunyi finally nodded after struggling for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruyan suppressed the joy in her heart, and quickly said: "The courtier found out that the county lord of Changning had an affair with Xie Yan, the commander of the deputy capital, before canceling the engagement with His Highness!"

As he said that, Xiao Ruyan talked about his discoveries incessantly, and deliberately moved the timeline forward, exaggerating the fact that Gu Ning and the eldest princess went to the south of the Yangtze River, rendering it as if Gu Ning and Xie Yan had an affair with each other in the south of the Yangtze River. affection.

"Your Highness was also in the south of the Yangtze River at that time. You know Changning County Lord the best, and you must have noticed the changes in her at that time!"

When Xiao Ruyan spoke, he cast a glance at Chu Yunyi's face.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Chu Yunyi's face gradually became ugly.

Xiao Ruyan was overjoyed by this scene.

She knew that she had made the right bet!
