In an instant, a thought appeared in Gu Ning's mind.

Excited, she squeezed Xie Yan's hand tightly.

Xie Yan frowned, but still let Gu Ning hold his hand.

He even adjusted his posture without any trace, making it easier for Gu Ning to pinch.

Yue Rong stood behind him and sighed forcefully.

"It's over, it's over." Yue Rong murmured.

Yue Ming's face was not very good-looking either, although he knew that His Highness liked the princess, but from this point of view, His Royal Highness's affection for the princess might be even deeper.

The two brothers looked at each other, not daring to speak at all.

Gu Ning stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Uncle and my mother know each other?"

Hearing Gu Ning's address, Lu Shikai smiled until his eyes narrowed, and he no longer looked like a refined scholar. He smiled and said, "Your mother and I are old acquaintances. If the Lu family hadn't suffered a sudden disaster, I... "

Speaking of this, Lu Shikai stopped talking further.

Gu Ning smiled, already having guesses in his heart.

After bidding farewell to Lu Yuanyou, Xie Yan personally sent Gu Ning back to Pei's residence.

But on the carriage, Gu Ning hugged Xie Yan's arm tightly, and asked: "Xie Yan, uncle and my mother... are they..."

Gu Ning didn't finish what he said, just waiting for Xie Yan to add.

There was a sparkle in her eyes, which made Xie Yan's heart soften.

Under her gaze, Xie Yan nodded slowly: "It's exactly what you think, but uncle is unrequited love."

Hearing this, Gu Ning opened his eyes wide: "Uncle is actually unrequited love? But uncle is much better than that guy Gu Zhiyuan! Uncle is so old, but he still fascinates thousands of girls with his demeanor. I saw it a few days ago. A noble girl is handing a handkerchief to her uncle!"

Xie Yan narrowed his phoenix eyes: "You like uncle like that?"

Hearing this, Gu Ning rolled his eyes: "What are you thinking? I'm just making a comparison!"

At this time, Gu Ning's eyes rolled, and there was already an idea in his heart.

Seeing her like this, Xie Yan knew what she was planning.

After a while, Xie Yan sighed in his heart.

"Don't go too far." Xie Yan said only one sentence.

Gu Ning patted Xie Yan's shoulder, kissed him intimately, and said with those sparkling peach blossom eyes: "Is this the kind of person I am in your heart?"

Xie Yan glanced at Gu Ning, but did not speak, his eyes were enough to prove everything.

Gu Ning snorted coldly, raised his head and got out of the carriage without looking back.

Chunyu saw that although she was angry, there was a smile on her brows and eyes, and she let go of her nervous heart.

"Princess, you are going to marry Your Highness soon, and you can't be so self-willed in the future." Nanny Gui had a panoramic view of all this, and as soon as Gu Ning came in, she muttered, "You and Your Highness are exactly right now. When there is deep affection, naturally anywhere is fine, but when you guys..."

"If you really hate each other, then make up." Gu Ning waved his hand and said chicly, "I will become a female Taoist priest at that time, and then travel around."

When Nanny Gui heard this, she immediately yelled: "Princess! You can't think like that! Is there any queen in this world who is divorced from the emperor?"

Seeing that Gu Ning didn't take these words seriously, she sighed deeply.

The Eldest Princess looked at the frowning Nanny Gui following behind Gu Ning, with a smile on her face: "Gu Ning, are you bullying Nanny Gui?"

"I didn't!" Gu Ning replied immediately, "I just can't agree with the mother."

"Oh?" The Eldest Princess raised her eyebrows, "What are you talking about?"

Gu Ning didn't wait for Nanny Gui to speak, and said all the words in one go.

Just when Nanny Gui was frightened, fearing that the Eldest Princess would scold Gu Ning, she didn't want the Eldest Princess to smile boldly, and even patted Gu Ning's shoulder: "That's right!"

"If things don't go your way, just reconcile!" said the Eldest Princess, "Since there is no precedent for the empress to reconcile, then you should set that precedent!"

Gu Ning nodded quickly: "The one who knows me is also my grandmother!"

"You are always good at playing tricks." The eldest princess snorted lightly, but the smile between her brows and eyes could not be faked.

Old General Pei, who was eavesdropping outside the door, snorted heavily, and walked in with his hands behind his back: "Don't be afraid! Your grandfather is the one who decides for you! He really dares to bully you to thank you! So what if you become the emperor? Grandpa can still stand for you You back up!"

Gu Ning listened to the words of the two, his eyes flickered, and he suppressed all the emotions.

She leaned on the eldest princess's lap and said softly: "Grandmother, grandfather, you are so kind to Ning'er. If there is a next life, Ning'er will be your granddaughter!"

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess smiled.

"Okay, okay." Old General Pei stroked his beard, smiling until his eyes almost disappeared.

……

Early the next morning, before dawn, the maids filed in.

Chunyu pulled Gu Ning up.

Gu Ning rubbed his eyes, and said quietly: "It's not dawn yet."

"Princess, in another hour, Master Lu and General Lu will come to the door. The eldest princess has specially ordered you to dress up for Haosheng, and it must be grand!"

And the other maids behind Chunyu all looked dignified.

They all received the news that Mr. Lu and General Lu came to Pei's house to propose marriage to the future new emperor. This is a top priority!

Gu Ning sighed deeply, drooping his head and sitting in front of the bronze mirror.

Chunyu combed Gu Ning's hair carefully, and one after another the maids brought over all the jewelry carefully selected by the Eldest Princess, filling the room with lush greenery, illuminating the dim yellow room.

When Gu Ning saw this posture, even if he didn't pay attention to it, he couldn't help but sit up straight now.

Chunyu secretly smiled: "Princess, you have to cheer up today. The eldest princess said that today is a tough battle."

"A tough battle?" Gu Ning frowned, "Didn't they come to propose marriage?"

Chunyu lowered her voice: "You have a special status. The Eldest Princess still has [-] elite soldiers. Although Lord Lu won't say anything, General Lu..."

"This is the news that Master Lu secretly sent to the eldest princess yesterday."

Listening to Chunyu's words, Gu Ning narrowed her beautiful eyes, and there was a dangerous light in them.

"I'd like to see what kind of calculations he has in his gourd!"

……

time.

In the front yard of Pei's house, wooden boxes were carried one after another into the front yard. The huge front yard of Pei's house couldn't hold these things. Looking outside the door, there was a long line of gift-giving. There is no end in sight.

With such a posture, even those who didn't pay attention to the Pei family would know that Lu Shikai and Lu Yuanyou came to the Pei family to propose marriage to Xie Yan.

Sitting on the restaurant, Mr. Xu saw this scene from a distance, and felt sore in his heart.

"I didn't expect not only Your Highness, but even the Lu family to care so much about the princess."

While his heart was sour, he couldn't help having some fantasies.

In his eyes, his own daughter is no worse than Gu Ning.

Mr. Huang took a sip of tea carefully, and he could see what Mr. Xu was thinking at a glance, he snorted coldly: "I advise you to give up your mind!"

"Even if His Highness and the Princess are a complete transaction, it is because the Pei family has the confidence. Compared with the Pei family, your Xu family...that's... tsk tsk..."

Following Master Huang's sighs, Master Xu's expression turned ugly, and he glanced at him sullenly.

"That's all! That's all!" Master Xu waved his hand, "I also don't want my daughter to suffer in the palace."

After hearing this, Master Huang sneered again: "You think the Pei family will let their children suffer? Then you are thinking too much!"

"The emperor came to propose marriage in person, have you ever seen this scene?" Master Huang pouted at the crowd when he spoke.

Hearing this, Master Xu opened his eyes wide, and quickly looked outside.

The crowd was noisy, and the movement was too loud, which attracted most of the people on the street, and they all stared at the marriage proposal team.

And Mr. Xu finally saw the person standing at the front of the line at this time.

I saw Xie Yan riding on a snow-white steed, and now there was a rare smile on that usually stern face.

Master Xu looked at it for a while, but still couldn't recover from his thoughts.

Under Master Huang's ridicule, he was stunned: "Your Highness, this is..."

Although Xie Yan has not ascended the throne yet, in the eyes of everyone, he is already a certain emperor.

"Your Highness's feelings for the princess can be seen by anyone, but you are so smart that you think that your highness is just pretending to the princess, just for the power of the Pei family."

Master Huang shook his head.

"People like us who don't want to see anything can see it more clearly!"

After Master Huang finished speaking, there was a commotion from the crowd.

Yue Rong and Yue Ming held the brocade box above their heads, their bodies trembling slightly.

What caused the crowd to exclaim was the things in the brocade box they held up.

"The Imperial Jade Seal!"

Master Xu couldn't believe it.

Even Mr. Huang was so surprised that he sprayed the tea he just drank on the table in front of him.

He immediately got up and followed Master Xu's line of sight.

"This..." Lord Huang had also seen the Chuanguo Jade Seal that day, so he opened his eyes wide. "His Highness's handwriting is so big! This is the Chuanguo Jade Seal!"

Ahead, Lu Yuanyou still didn't know what happened behind.

He looked at the door of Pei's house, snorted softly, raised his chin and walked inside.

It wasn't until he saw Mingde's complicated face that he raised his vigilance: "What happened?"

Mingde smiled awkwardly, and looked behind Lu Yuanyou.

And words like "Chuan Guo Yuxi" kept coming to Lu Yuanyou's ears.

Lu Yuanyou felt a chill go down his spine, and immediately turned around.

The Chuan Guo Yuxi became more and more dazzling in the sun, Lu Yuanyou gritted his teeth in anger, and was about to rush towards the crowd immediately.

However, at this moment, Lu Shikai squeezed his shoulder with one hand, and said word by word: "Yuanyou, this is Xie Yan's own decision, neither you nor I can interfere!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuanyou raised his hand and was about to wave Lu Shikai's hand away, cursing: "Brother! Since you know that Xie Yan is going to do this! Why don't you stop him? This is the Jade Seal of the Kingdom! How can it be used as a betrothal gift?"

If he knew that Xie Yan would do this, even if he tried to break with Xie Yan, he would stop Xie Yan!
