The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is approaching, and the capital is becoming more and more lively.

However, officials from all over the country who can establish a relationship with the capital sent people to send congratulatory gifts to the capital early on, and the vassal kings from all over the country also took this opportunity to enter the capital.

The land of Shu is thousands of miles away from the capital, and even if it is by water, it will take a month.

And King Yong, whose fiefdom was in Nanling, also traveled all the way.

The news of King Shu and King Yong's coming to Beijing quickly spread to every household, and the capital was also under martial law. Several military camps on the outskirts of Beijing were even more energetic.

"Uncle has not been home for more than ten days."

Gu Ning propped his chin, looking out of the window sadly.

The Eldest Princess' expression remained unchanged, she gathered the information collected from various places in the past few days, and occasionally she took the time to reply to her: "The Queen Mother is happy that King Shu and King Yong have entered the capital, but the others..."

Gu Ning leaned over to the Eldest Princess, looking at the letter in her hand.

The eldest princess did not avoid her, and handed all the letters that had been sorted out to her: "You have become more sensible these days, and it's time to understand the situation between the court and China."

"The king of Shu and the king of Yong are siblings of the same mother as the emperor, but as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he ordered them to go to the feudal domain. Do you know why?"

It's not easy!

Gu Ning said to himself: "It must be because they are worried about their rebellion."

"That's right." The Eldest Princess nodded lightly, "It is precisely because of this that the Emperor is very wary of their arrival. Your uncle must stay in the barracks."

Hearing this, Gu Ning puffed up his cheeks and poked the letters sullenly.

It's fine for uncle to go, but why does Xie Yan have to go with him?

She hasn't seen Xie Yan in the past few days, and her luck has always remained at 40. With this luck, she can't use the system's functions.

The eldest princess glanced at her lightly: "I think it's fake that you care about your uncle, but it's true that you want to see Xie Yan."

Gu Ning coughed lightly, very sincerely: "How is it possible? I don't want to thank the banquet!"

"It's best like this." The eldest princess patted her on the head angrily, "Xie Yan has important business to go to the military camp."

Gu Ning nodded in disbelief, but the next moment, a thought emerged from her heart.

"Grandmother!" Gu Ning blinked at the Eldest Princess, "Do you want to take advantage of the time when the two vassal kings enter the capital and make some small moves?"

"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes." The Eldest Princess chuckled a few times, "There are indeed some things to do."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Gu Ning didn't think much about it.

My grandmother is a capable person, since she is so relaxed, then this plan has a high probability of success.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning rolled his eyes and tugged at the corner of the eldest princess's clothes: "Grandma, I have something to ask for your help."

"Don't worry." The eldest princess scraped the tip of her nose affectionately, and said with a smile, "I have sent people to those teahouses, and I will definitely let your storybook spread, and it must reach Gu Zhiyuan's ears. "

Gu Ning hugged the eldest princess' arm and said with a smile: "Grandmother is really amazing!"

At the same time, several major teahouses talked about a story.

"It's said that when the princess was recruiting a husband that day, she immediately fell in love with Tanhualang Liu Xu. Liu Xu was born handsome and behaved like a gentleman. Marrying the princess is a good story of a talented man and a beautiful woman! I never thought, Liu Xu Before Xu married the princess, he married a country woman and gave birth to a child!"

When the storyteller opened his mouth, the whole house became lively.

Tasting today's script, how come the more I listen to it, the more I seem to have heard it somewhere?

"Isn't this talking about Princess Anyang and Gu Tanhua!"

"When Princess Anyang fell in love with Gu Tanhua, your teahouse also said this story! The more I listened to it, the more I thought about it! This is it! For several generations in Chu, only Gu Tanhua married the royal family!"

"Exactly! I heard that Princess Anyang also fell in love with Gu Tanhua at a glance. Not to mention, I also saw Gu Tanhua when Jinshi paraded the streets that year. He was born like a jade tree facing the wind. No wonder Princess Anyang fell in love with him!"

These people were talking and laughing, but some people noticed the strangeness.

After all, they were royal family members, they didn't dare to discuss it loudly, they only muttered to their companions: "But if the story is about Princess Anyang and Gu Tanhua, then this country girl and child..."

"No way!" His companion shouted loudly, "If you have a wife and son, you still want to marry the princess?"

"Keep your voice down!" He glared at his companion angrily.

But it was too late, the conversation between the two had already been overheard by others.

The capital city has been bustling in recent days. Officials and clan relatives traveling from north to south all want to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, and this teahouse is the largest in the capital city.

Those who heard the conversation between the two, apart from the ordinary people who came out to have fun, there were also many young men from aristocratic families who were idle.

They like to watch the excitement the most, and this script matches the reality, so they have to think about it.

So within a day, the word spread throughout the capital.

Concerned about the prestige of the Eldest Princess, no one dared to name her name, but anyone with a heart would know who they were talking about when they heard it.

As soon as he looked up, Gu Zhiyuan felt a lot of strange sights.

But every time he looked, he found that those colleagues turned their heads one by one, pretending nothing happened.

He walked all the way from the Tai Chi Hall to the palace gate, and the officials passing by would definitely give him a strange look.

And after leaving the palace gate, the servant who carried the sedan chair also had a disheveled look on his face.

"what happened!"

Gu Zhiyuan's suppressed anger broke out completely, and his eyes glared fiercely at the boy.

The servant fell to his knees with a swish: "My lord, calm down!"

"It's just that there is a story circulating in Beijing today." The servant explained tremblingly, "The princess is looking for a son-in-law, and she falls in love with Tanhualang, but Tanhualang has a wife and son."

"What?" Gu Zhiyuan felt his eyes go dark, and immediately asked, "And then? What else?"

"Also...Tanhualang abandoned his wife and son to marry the princess in order to cling to the powerful." The more the boy spoke, the more cold sweat grew on his back.

There were many people coming and going at the palace gate, in order to protect his image, Gu Zhiyuan held back the anger in his heart, and got into the sedan chair with a flick of his sleeves.

"Go back to the mansion! Go back to the mansion immediately!"

With a guilty conscience, he recalled the strange sight of his colleagues, and immediately understood.

I'm afraid someone connected this story with him!

hell!Gu Zhiyuan hammered hard against the car wall, the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

But he can't show it in front of outsiders. If he overreacts, it means he has a ghost in his heart!

In an instant, many things came to Gu Zhiyuan's mind. He suppressed the anger and anxiety in his heart, and pretended to be calm and returned to Gu's residence.

As soon as the sedan chair landed, there was the sound of horseshoes.

Gu Zhiyuan raised his head with an ugly expression, and saw Gu Ning riding a horse, looking down at him.

"Why did you come back?"

When seeing Gu Ning, Gu Zhiyuan felt guilty for a moment.

But soon, he put on his father's airs again.

Gu Ning snorted softly, turned over and got off the horse neatly: "I went out of Beijing and ran two laps. If my family was not too small, I wouldn't have gone out of the city to run a horse."

But Gu Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Out of the city for a horse race, that is to say, I have not heard the rumors about Beijing.

"After all, you are a daughter's family. You should learn from those ladies." Gu Zhiyuan said earnestly, "Prince Duan will not let you mess around."

Gu Ning flicked his horsewhip, very calm: "He dare not say anything about me."

After she finished speaking, she walked in with great strides, and never looked at Gu Zhiyuan again.

"Evil girl!"

Gu Zhiyuan cursed secretly, but he didn't dare to explode on the spot.

Just after Gu Ning left, another figure walked out from behind the hanging flower door.

When he saw Gu Qingqiu, Gu Zhiyuan's eyes softened visibly with the naked eye.

"Qingqiu, why did you come out? Aren't you still recuperating?"

Ever since Gu Yunwan disappeared, Gu Qingqiu couldn't afford to be sick, and the imperial doctor came to see him, but it didn't help. He said it was a heart disease, which made Gu Zhiyuan worry for several days.

Now seeing Gu Qingqiu's pale, weak and pitiful appearance, he felt even more distressed.

"I have something to say to Uncle." Gu Qingqiu said weakly, "Please ask Uncle to let the others go."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Gu Zhiyuan had an ominous premonition.

Fortunately, after a while, he stabilized his mind and backed away.

In the huge front yard, there were only two people left.

Gu Qingqiu stared at Gu Zhiyuan, his apricot eyes filled with tears: "Should I call you Uncle...or...Father?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhiyuan's expression changed drastically.

And Gu Qingqiu's tears, like beads with broken strings, rolled down his cheeks one by one.

Her face was full of tears, and her eyes were filled with sadness and fear.

"I..." Gu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand, trying to comfort her, but he didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Gu Qingqiu wiped away his tears carefully, and said in a trembling voice: "I already know, do you still want to hide it from me?"

"Who is talking nonsense with you?" Gu Zhiyuan looked around angrily, but because there was no one to vent, he could only grit his teeth and say, "You should take good care of your illness and don't think about these miscellaneous things."

Gu Qingqiu shook his head: "Can't you see it? I'm afraid the Pei family already knows what you've done, otherwise the rumors wouldn't have spread all over the capital within a day."

In an instant, Gu Zhiyuan's expression froze.

He looked at Gu Qingqiu in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"I said, this is all set up by the Eldest Princess." Gu Qingqiu said word by word, "If you don't deal with it again, I'm afraid that what happened back then will be exposed by the Eldest Princess!"

Gu Zhiyuan was admitted to Tanhua, of course he was not a stupid person.

As he thought about it, his expression changed.

good!The only person with this ability is the Eldest Princess!

But where did the eldest princess get the news?

Gu Zhiyuan's face changed for a while, but Gu Qingqiu said in his ear: "What you have done has been known to the Eldest Princess, how should you deal with it? Have you thought of a plan?"

Gu Zhiyuan pulled out a wry smile.

How can he cope?He didn't dare to do anything without that person's orders!

What's more, he always had luck in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Qingqiu said softly: "What if I say I have a brilliant plan?"
