"How could someone follow us?" Chu Shiling's small head was full of great doubts, "Is there anything worth following for the two of us? Could it be that those noble ladies want to know in advance how we will dress up at the palace banquet ?”

Gu Ning paused, and looked at Chu Shiling with complicated eyes: "You think so simply."

Chu Shiling sighed melancholy: "If I were half as smart as you, I wouldn't run after you."

Hearing this, Gu Ning squeezed Chu Shiling's ears angrily, lowered his head slightly, and said in Chu Shiling's ear, "I think maybe their target is me."

Before Chu Shiling opened his mouth, Gu Ning read out the system's broadcast one by one: "There are five groups of people following me, one group is the secret guard sent by my grandmother, one group is the spies of the Huns, and the other group is the Yan family. The country's spies, the other two groups..."

Gu Ning pinched his chin and pondered for a while: "There are only two candidates, the crown prince and the second prince."

"What are they following you for!" Chu Shiling shuddered, unbelievable, "It's okay for the Xiongnu and the Yan Kingdom to say, they want to ask to marry you anyway. Could it be that the crown prince and the second prince also want to ask to marry you?"

"It is indeed possible." Gu Ning thought about it, and then said, "After all, behind me is the Pei family."

This time, Chu Shiling looked at Gu Ning with sympathy: "There is some truth to this."

"Then what should I do?" She tugged on Gu Ning's sleeve and whispered, "Why don't I cover it up for you and let you slip away?"

"Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to me." Gu Ning sneered, "They only dare to use these methods to follow me, let's pretend we don't know."

Having said that, Chu Shiling's face was still full of worry, she was about to turn her head to look back, but Gu Ning turned her head back; "Don't expose it!"

Chu Shiling's heart beat faster, swallowed, and said anxiously: "What if they want to attack you?"

"What do you do?" Gu Ning casually glanced to the side, and a hidden guard in the corner immediately walked out.

"It's just..." Chu Shiling was a little embarrassed to say, "If they all want to marry you, nothing will come sooner than being caught in bed with you!"

Speaking of this, the anxiety on Chu Shiling's face surfaced again.

"Although my aunts can keep male pets, it's because of their marriage. The husband's family can't control them. As long as there is no big disturbance, other people will turn a blind eye to this matter." One eye, but if you are tricked, it will be difficult for you not to cancel the engagement with Mr. Xie under the watchful eyes of everyone!"

Seeing the uneasiness in Chu Shiling's eyes, Gu Ning patted the back of her hand lightly.

She raised her eyes and saw that Gu Ning's pretty face was tense. For some reason, she felt at ease.

"Can you really deal with them?"

"Of course." Gu Ning nodded slightly, looking at the front with a smile, "I just need to give them a little sweetness, so that they can speed up their plans."

Chu Shiling didn't say the worried words, but finally swallowed them back.

"That's good." She whispered, "I know, you will be able to solve this crisis smoothly!"

When the two were talking, several secret guards of the Pei Mansion had already blended into the crowd. They were ordinary in appearance and had never attracted anyone's attention in the entourage of several wealthy businessmen.

And those spies in the dark stared at Gu Ning's every move without blinking, but they didn't know that their whereabouts had been exposed.

……

The spies followed Gu Ning all the way to Pei's mansion. Seeing Gu Ning walk into Pei's mansion, they all looked at each other and sighed.

"The Pei family is heavily guarded. Even if we bring in more people, we won't be able to get in."

"I really don't know why Mr. Zhuang asked us to follow the Changning County Lord. Even if she is favored by the Pei family, she is just a woman."

Several people kept complaining about their dissatisfaction, and returned to the East Palace exhausted, and told Mr. Zhuang one by one what they had seen and heard today.

Mr. Zhuang's face was serious. Even though Gu Ning and Chu Shiling in the news kept on eating, drinking and having fun on the street, he still stood ready.

Seeing his appearance, the spies couldn't help but said: "Mr. Zhuang, we have been following the Changning county master for several days, and she follows this way every day, except for going to the jewelry store, or going to restaurants to eat and drink, and only Chu Shiling is with her." There are no other differences between Qin Feiyu and us, and we brothers follow her every day, and we are almost tired of following her."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhuang raised his eyes with a cold face: "Are you tired of just this little thing? What day is this?"

The spy lowered his head embarrassingly, but his eyes were full of disbelief.

After a while, Mr. Zhuang sighed: "Forget it, you go back first, and tomorrow we will change a group of people to follow."

"Yes."

Watching the spies leave, Mr. Zhuang recorded the news one by one on paper, and finally pressed it under the teacup.

The maid handed over the new tea with a low eyebrow, and then brought the old tea down. The paper under the cup was sent to the main hall.

Gu Qingqiu leaned halfway on the soft bed, feeling the growth of the little life in his lower abdomen, and smiled happily.

As long as there is this child, she can firmly grasp Chu Yunyi's heart.

At this time, Ban Xia walked in with a serious expression.

"Bring it." The smile on Gu Qingqiu's face disappeared immediately, and he beckoned to Banxia coldly.

Ban Xia stuffed the paper into Gu Qingqiu's hands: "Crown Princess, it's still the same."

Gu Qingqiu opened the paper, looked at it carefully, and finally put the paper on the lamp. Seeing the flames slowly devouring the paper, the light of the dancing flames reflected on her face, which was actually a bit ghostly.

"What a lucky fate." Gu Qingqiu said quietly, "Even if she is abandoned in front of everyone, she can still find a good husband. Your Highness has fallen in love with her!"

With a smile on her face, she said this lightly, but the killing intent in her tone made Ban Xia shudder.

"What do you want to do?" Ban Xia asked in a low voice, "The servant looks at Mr. Zhuang with great resentment, and seems to be very dissatisfied with your arrangement."

"It's okay." The emotion in Gu Qingqiu's eyes faded away, "What I want is to ruin Gu Ning's reputation! Get out of Chu State! As long as I can fulfill this wish, Mr. Zhuang can do whatever he wants with me!"

"Let's talk about it." When Gu Qingqiu spoke, he gently stroked his lower abdomen, and his tone was full of affection, "As long as this child is here, how dare he do anything to me?"

"You tell him that his deal with me will come to an end after the palace banquet in the next day!"

Ban Xia lowered her head and replied cautiously: "I understand."

……

Two days later, there was a lot of traffic at the gate of the palace, which was a grand sight that I hadn't seen for a long time.

The ministers were welcomed in by the palace people one by one according to their grades, and the carriage of Pei Mansion also drove slowly at this time.

When the palace servants saw the carriage bearing the emblem of the Pei Mansion, they hurried over with an extraordinarily hospitable attitude.

"Meet the eldest princess! The eldest princess is blessed!"

"Meet Pei Guogong!"

"See Changning County Lord!"

Several palace people shouted loudly while saluting, and everyone at the door knew that the Pei family had arrived.

The eldest princess was used to such battles, she didn't even lift her eyelids.

At this time, an old eunuch rushed over with a few guards, pointed at the walking chariot and said: "The emperor specially ordered that the eldest princess go to the Qingliang Palace in a walking chariot."

In the palace, only the emperor and empress are eligible to ride a walking chariot. It is a great honor for others to ride a walking chariot.

Many envious eyes turned to the Eldest Princess. Everyone was of the same generation, but I was quite old, and looked ten years older than the Eldest Princess, and I still had to walk half an hour to reach Qingliang Hall .

The eldest princess's long armor was shining golden in the sun. She stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the eunuch: "This princess can still walk, so I won't trouble the emperor to make an exception."

Before the eunuch could speak, she sneered again: "I'm afraid that the princess has just got on the chariot today, and tonight there will be a booklet sent to the Tai Chi Hall, impeaching the princess for being rude."

After finishing speaking, she waved to Gu Ning and Old General Pei, passed the eunuchs and the guards carrying the chariot, and walked in the direction of Qingliang Hall.

Mrs. Huang looked at the backs of the three grandparents, and said, "As expected of the eldest princess, she acts so chicly."

"The emperor treats the eldest princess with respect." Madam Xu said in a low voice, "I just don't know if the eldest princess rejected the emperor's kindness in front of so many people, will it make the emperor feel bad?"

"This is not something you and I can comment on." Mrs. Huang reminded, "Since we are here for a banquet, we must remember the rules. If we can not speak, we will not speak."

Mrs. Xu smiled: "I know!"

The palace banquet was specially set up for Yu Wentuo and Yan Yu, and they were invited to the palace early on.

Coincidentally, the two are located in the same place.

Yu Wentuo glanced at Yan Yu, the disgust in his eyes almost turned into substance.

"With your pretty face, it's no wonder the County Lord Changning doesn't like you!" While speaking, Yu Wentuo intentionally touched Yan Yu with his thick arm, and gave him a hard blow.

However, Yan Yu's reaction was extremely fast, and his palm seemed to be light, but it relieved most of the strength from Yu Wentuo's hand.

"Ning'er is smart, so he must have disliked a reckless man like the second prince who has all his strength but no brains." There was pity in Yan Yu's eyes, which made Yu Wentuo feel uncomfortable.

Yu Wentuo gritted his teeth and said, "Who do you call a reckless man?"

Before Yan Yu could reply, he warned again: "Don't call her Ning'er!"

Yan Yu smiled, and said meaningfully: "When I met Ning'er, the second prince didn't know where he was!"

He stared at Yu Wentuo with a pair of blue eyes, and the sarcasm and condescension in his eyes made Yu Wentuo even more angry.

"How could she like you with such a strange appearance!" Yu Wentuo said disgustedly, "She dare not even look at you."

"The second prince guessed wrong." Yan Yu smiled, stroking the corners of his eyes with his slender fingers, and a pleasant smile appeared in his blue eyes.

"She said that my king's eyes... are very beautiful."
