Gu Ning has never seen this kind of look. At this time, the eldest princess still looks graceful and luxurious, but when she speaks, there is a rare coldness.

Gu Ning rolled his eyes, and immediately sat next to the eldest princess.

"Grandma, do you have enmity with the Xiao family?"

"It won't be an enmity with me soon." The eldest princess said quietly, "Maybe it is an enmity with you."

Gu Ning's eyes widened, but she racked her brains and never thought of her relationship with the Xiao family.

"Didn't you say that the Xiao family hasn't been in Beijing for more than ten years? How could I have any grudge against them?"

Gu Ning, who had been running rampant in the system tower for several years, was stumped by the princess's words.

The eldest princess glanced at her angrily, but didn't say anything directly, but patted her hand meaningfully: "You will know later."

As he spoke, the lobby was already in front of him.

The eldest princess restrained her expression, and stepped into the front hall calmly.

Gu Ning followed behind, curiously looking at the two people in the hall.

The image of the original owner of the left and right is already here, the more innocent she is, the more she has no city mansion, the more she can fit the previous image.

There were two people sitting in the hall, one was an old woman with gray hair, and the other was a young girl with a beautiful face.

"See Princess Dachang, see Princess Changning!"

The two stood up and respectfully saluted the Eldest Princess and Gu Ning.

The Eldest Princess waved her hand lightly, and the maids filed in, bringing exquisite pastries and steaming tea to the table of the two of them.

"Mrs. Xiao, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to remember me."

There was a smile on the corner of the eldest princess's lips, she seemed gentle, but the sarcasm in her eyes made Mrs. Xiao feel cold.

She hastily put down her teacup and bowed to the eldest princess: "The whole Xiao family will always remember the kindness of the eldest princess."

Hearing this, the eldest princess sneered.

"As far as what you have done, I really can't make me believe what Mrs. Xiao said."

"What's the matter, just say it."

The eldest princess raised her chin arrogantly, looking down at Mrs. Xiao.

"My grandmother is also a first-class imperial wife after all, so it's inevitable that the eldest princess will..."

"Ruyan, don't kneel down yet!" Mrs. Xiao glared fiercely at the granddaughter behind her, and scolded, "How can you be disrespectful to the Eldest Princess!"

Xiao Ruyan bit her lower lip tightly, and knelt down on the ground as soon as she closed her eyes.

"My wife is not strict in discipline, and I still hope that the eldest princess will forgive me." Mrs. Xiao kowtowed to the eldest princess tremblingly, her appearance was very pitiful.

But Gu Ning sat there motionless, as if he didn't see the helplessness of the grandparents of the Xiao family.

She knew that Princess Dachang had never been a narrow-minded person. She was so indifferent to Mrs. Xiao, it must be that Mrs. Xiao had done something wrong to her.

Gu Ning looked on coldly, she was obviously the same age as Xiao Ruyan, but there was nothing in her eyes that could bear it.

At this time, Mrs. Xiao said in a low voice: "My wife knows that the Eldest Princess will never forget what happened back then, but although the Xiao family is a century-old family, it has no military power in its hands. With only a few hundred guards, how can it compete with..."

"Okay." The eldest princess interrupted her coldly, "What happened back then has long passed, and I never took it to heart. I just laughed at your Xiao family who kept claiming that they were a century-old family, but turned back on their promises and did not keep their promises." .”

Mrs. Xiao showed embarrassment on her face: "But the Ruyan family has a good family, good looks, good looks, and good temperament, so how can you be a widow for a dead man?"

Gu Ning thumped in his heart, guard?

Her eyes fell on Xiao Ruyan's body instantly, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

The eldest princess' next words confirmed Gu Ning's guess.

"The Xiao family made a baby marriage with the former crown prince. Xiao Ruyan was supposed to marry the unborn grandson in the womb of the crown princess. Your Xiao family should have kept their promise!"

Mrs. Xiao was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, she had long forgotten that the person in front of her was the eldest princess who was decisive on the battlefield.

She stood up, with an angry expression on her face: "The eldest princess is so unreasonable! If the county magistrate gets engaged to someone, that person is no longer alive. Do you want the county magistrate to be his widow?"

"It's just an engagement, so it's natural to cancel the engagement! Ruyan is still young, I can't just watch her become a widow for a dead man!"

"That's the emperor's grandson!" The eldest princess slapped the table heavily, staring at Mrs. Xiao with sharp eyes, "How can you let your words be dead?"

There was no sound in the front hall, Mrs. Xiao blushed, but she didn't dare to say another word.

After a while, the Eldest Princess sneered again: "Could it be that you are just arguing with me about the right or wrong of this matter?"

"No." She shook her head self-consciously, and said with a smile, "You should be for this half jade pendant."

When Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she rolled her eyes, the eldest princess took out half of the warm jade pendant just right.

Gu Ning saw half of the mandarin duck above at a glance, and she secretly ground her teeth.

Isn't the so-called emperor's grandson just Xie Yan!

Miss Xiao in front of me is also Xie Yan's fiancée!

Gu Ning's heart was sour, and he looked at Xiao Ruyan carefully several times.

Chest - not as big as myself.

Waist - not as thin as myself.

Face - not as beautiful as myself.

Won!

When Xiao Ruyan's gaze shifted, Gu Ning had already retracted his gaze, and looked at the beautiful face reflected in the clear tea with pleasure.

Chunyu looked at her actions fondly, and then cast a warning look at Xiao Ruyan.

Xiao Ruyan's own county master is not something that Xiao Ruyan can compare to!

Xiao Ruyan was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, but at the same time, resentment emerged in her heart little by little.

Whether it is the eldest princess or Gu Ning, they all have the same attitude towards their Xiao family - contempt.

She clenched her hands secretly, strengthening her thoughts even more.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Xiao raised her head, her old wrinkled face was full of pleading: "Princess Eldest Princess, Ruyan is still young, I will always find a way out for her."

"Let me ask you, do you really want to cancel this marriage?" The eldest princess asked word by word, "No regrets?"

Mrs. Xiao only felt that the eldest princess was bewildered, and no one would regret it if she could cancel the engagement with a dead man.

She shook her head quickly, lest the Eldest Princess would regret it: "My wife also brought the marriage certificate back then, I just hope that the Eldest Princess can let Ruyan out."

After a while, the Eldest Princess chuckled lightly.

She handed the jade pendant to Nanny Gui with a happy expression, and Nanny Gui understood, carefully checked the marriage certificate presented by Mrs. Xiao, and then nodded to the Eldest Princess.

"Princess, the marriage certificate is real."

"it is good."

The eldest princess took the marriage letter with her own hands, and under Mrs. Xiao's watchful eyes, she tore the marriage letter into pieces neatly.

Mrs. Xiao held half of the jade pendant in her hand, her heart was finally put into practice.

This jade pendant is a token of the Xiao family, and it belongs to every empress from the Xiao family.

The reason why it was given to the little grandson who was still grown up was that the Xiao family wanted to make Xiao's daughter a queen again, but now the little grandson has already become a handful of loess, and a face like Ruyan must not be buried !

Mrs. Xiao expressed her thanks in trepidation, but her eyes were burning with burning ambition.

Gu Ning had a panoramic view of her changes, and a guess suddenly popped up in his mind.

——Could it be... The Xiao family is trying to match Xiao Ruyan and Chu Yunyi, right?

She remembered what her grandmother said just now, the Xiao family had several queens.

Looking at the dozen or so princes, only Chu Yunyi has the most potential to ascend the throne.

Gu Ning blinked, subconsciously looking at the eldest princess.

However, the eldest princess didn't say a word, she just drank tea with a smile, and didn't even look at Gu Ning.

Mrs. Xiao achieved her goal, and saluted the eldest princess: "My wife will leave."

After all, she is also a lady of the first rank. She was a little girl because she wanted something from the Eldest Princess, but now that she has the token, her spirit has changed.

The eldest princess has long been used to Mrs. Xiao's changing face, and she only glanced at her contemptuously: "Mrs. Xiao is all about finding a good family for her granddaughter, so be careful of making the wrong bet."

Mrs. Xiao secretly disdains that even marrying a useless son of a family is better than being a widow for a dead man.

She took Xiao Ruyan and left Pei's mansion quickly.

As soon as they left, Gu Ning approached the Eldest Princess: "Grandmother, why do I think they are here for Prince Duan?"

"Why?" The eldest princess glanced at her, and said with a light smile, "Reluctant? If you are reluctant, I will send someone to stop them now and force Xiao Shi to rewrite a marriage letter, making Xiao Ruyan a widow."

"No, no, no!" Gu Ning quickly waved his hand, "I wish Xiao Ruyan could attract Gu Qingqiu's firepower for me!"

There are less than 30 days to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet!

Gu Ning thought about it, and acted like a baby to the eldest princess: "Grandma, I want to borrow someone from you."

"It's Xie Yan again?" When the Eldest Princess spoke, her eyes changed slightly, "I'm afraid now is not the time."

But after hesitating for a while, she changed again: "As long as Xie Yan agrees, I will naturally not stop it."

Gu Ning quickly responded and quickly slipped out of the front hall.

But before she walked out the door, she saw Xiao Ruyan and Xie Yan standing opposite each other.

At this time, Gu Ning's heart was full of alarm bells.

Xiao Ruyan and Xie Yan made a baby kiss, have they met?

Taking a step back, even if she had seen it before, she remembered that when the prince died, Xie Yan was only a seven or eight month old baby, and then the East Palace was burned down.

Is it possible that after meeting a seven or eight-month-old baby, they can still remember each other's appearance 20 years later?

Xiao Ruyan looked at the person in front of him, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Xie Lang..." she whispered, "Do you still remember my abandonment of you?"

"But I was forced to be helpless. Even after five years, I still remember you protecting me back then..."

Gu Ning hid behind the flowerpot, listening carefully to the conversation between the two, never letting go of a punctuation mark.

But even though Xiao Ruyan burst into tears and choked up recalling the good old days, Xie Yan didn't say a word.
