When Gu Baiyu got up early this morning, he took another look at Zhou Guifei's post and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Zuo Lingfeng, the newly promoted number one scholar, will also attend this banquet, and he will also bring his sister.
At first, Gu Baiyu's thought was that with so many female relatives, maybe the emperor wanted to propose marriage to the number one scholar.
But when I thought about it, I felt something was wrong. For a family like Prime Minister Gu, two daughters of the family are now married. If they are marrying on behalf of the number one scholar, why should they be entertained?
Besides, foreign men would not be entertained at such a banquet.
Moreover, the sister of the number one scholar seemed to be at the age of leaving the court. I heard that the two lost their father when they were young. The number one scholar was very fond of his sister, which is also a good story.
The probability of marriage is high, but it's hard to say for whom.
And there was another thing that Xiao Yanlin told her this morning.
The father-in-law sent by Concubine Zhou at that time told the two adults in the Hou Mansion to go no matter what happened that day.
This further confirmed a certain guess in Gu Baiyu's mind.
At noon, the secret guards sent out by Gu Baiyu came back with news.
At that time, Lingyu went to get pastries for Gu Baiyu. When she came back, she saw the secret guard leaving.
Lingyu's curiosity suddenly rose, and she quickly went over and asked, "Madam, what did the secret guard say?"
Gu Baiyu smiled faintly: "Maybe we are really talking about marriage, but it is not for the number one scholar, but for the number one scholar's sister. And Concubine Zhou asked us from the Hou Mansion to go."
Lingyu suddenly became anxious, "How could this happen? Could it be that the sister of the Number One Scholar has taken a liking to our Lord Marquis? She wants to be a junior in our Marquis' Mansion?!"
Lingyu's idea is actually the first reaction of most people.
After all, Xiao Yanlin was too popular in Kyoto. Countless ladies from famous families wanted to marry him before he got married.
Zhuangyuan Lang was born in poverty. Although he is favored by the emperor now, he is not respected among the powerful people in Kyoto. If his sister can become a concubine in the prince's mansion, it will be considered a high achievement.
Lingyu was extremely anxious. Looking at Gu Baiyu's indifferent expression, she immediately stamped her feet anxiously!
"Madam, why are you so calm? If it's true, then shouldn't we think of a way to prevent Mr. Marquis from going?"
Did she know that Gu Baiyu was given a royal decree to be married to the Hou Mansion? If His Majesty was really happy at that time, and the sister of the number one scholar was also given a royal decree to be married to the Hou Mansion as a concubine, if they wanted to disobey, but What about the crime of beheading for disobedience?
Can't we take precautions in advance?
Gu Baiyu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I heard from the Marquis that Zuo Lingfeng has a good relationship with him. When the second prince was in trouble in public, the number one scholar seemed to have said a few good words for the Marquis."
"That's even worse. Doesn't this clearly show that his sister is really interested in our Lord Marquis?"
Gu Baiyu had enough of the wicked appreciation of the little maid's anxious look, so he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Lingyu for a look.
Lingyu read the contents on the paper at a glance and was stunned.
"This... this is too coincidental. Isn't this a plot that only appears in story books?"
The content on this paper was what Gu Baiyu had someone investigate.
Gu Baiyu also found it quite strange.
According to the investigation by the secret guards, Zuo Lingfeng, the number one scholar, did have a sister, and his sister really had something to do with the Hou Mansion.
It's just that this person is not Xiao Yanlin, but Xiao Ruoyun.
It turned out that after Zuo Lingfeng became the number one scholar in high school, the father-in-law who announced the decree went back to his hometown to announce the good news to his family. When his sister learned of the good news, she went to Kyoto to join her brother.
It's just that when she arrived in Kyoto and was good-looking, she met several dandies on the road who molested women from good families.
Coincidentally, Xiao Ruoyun happened to be passing by that day. He couldn't see these things, so he rescued the woman immediately.
Due to the differences between men and women, Xiao Ruoyun did not stay much longer. He only accepted the woman's apology and left in a hurry without even knowing the woman's name.
Little did he know, the woman had already deeply remembered the person who had saved her.
And the time now is also very coincidental.
If he hadn't seen the news from the secret guard, Gu Baiyu would have forgotten about this.
In the previous life, around this time, a servant with no eyesight came to Gu Baiyu and talked nonsense, saying that she was not loved by Xiao Ruoyun, and she didn't know when she would be able to give birth to an heir for Xiao Ruoyun. Be calm, and hurry up to find a concubine for Xiao Ruoyun.
At that time, Gu Baiyu was already disillusioned with Xiao Ruoyun. Someone asked her to take a concubine, and she really thought about it.
But before she could make any decision, the servant who was talking nonsense in front of her was suddenly kicked out of the house.
She asked, but it was Gu Ruanruan's handiwork. Now that I think about it, it was probably Gu Ruanruan who knew about the matter and took care of it on his own.
But in this life, the trajectory of fate has taken a turn.
There is no talkative servant for the second master of the house to take a concubine, but there is a banquet in the palace.
Lingyu finished reading the paper in her hand and looked at Gu Baiyu hesitantly.
"Then Madam, how should we deal with this...?"
Gu Baiyu gently raised his eyelids.
"What's there to deal with? No need to deal with it, just let him go."
Maybe even Xiao Ruoyun himself had forgotten that Xiao Ruoyun had saved the woman. If she hadn't had the memory of her previous life and went to investigate again, maybe no one would know the true purpose of this banquet.
She didn't believe that Xiao Ruoyun would guess it, nor did she believe that Gu Ruanruan would guess it.
Even if these two people get wind of the news, there is a high probability that Lingyu will think that the sister of the number one scholar is here for Xiao Yan, as Lingyu guessed at the beginning.
This is so much fun...
……
Gu Baiyu's guess was absolutely correct.
Gu Ruanruan got the news two days later than she did. It was not until the third day that she heard that the No. [-] Scholar and his sister would also appear at this banquet.
Moreover, the protagonists of this banquet are most likely the brother and sister.
She is now suspicious by nature, and after linking several things together, her thoughts are just like Lingyu's at that time.
The guess is that it may not be about marrying the No. [-] scholar, but choosing a husband for the No. [-] scholar's sister.
She also thought about what the second prince told her that the new champion didn't know how to praise and actually spoke for Xiao Yanlin...
Gu Ruanruan had a guess in his mind.
The sister of the No. [-] scholar might have fallen in love with Xiao Yanlin and wanted to come to the prince's mansion to be a concubine!
This got her excited!
She was almost jealous of Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yan's Linhe and Meimei. Now that someone was trying to interfere with them, it was too late for her to be happy!
Moreover, she has always been at a disadvantage in this prince's mansion. If such a concubine suddenly comes and has an antagonistic relationship with Gu Baiyu, she might be able to use it to her advantage!
Gu Ruanruan became more and more determined in her thoughts. She must go to this palace banquet!
So that night, she tried her old trick again, and her condition, which had improved, worsened again.
She caught colds twice in three days. Even if she was in good health, she couldn't withstand such a torment. This time she was so feverish that she almost fell into a coma, and she kept calling Mrs. Gu in a daze.
Xiao Ruoyun finally relented and promised her that when the banquet was held, he would take her into the palace no matter what.
Zuo Lingfeng, the newly promoted number one scholar, will also attend this banquet, and he will also bring his sister.
At first, Gu Baiyu's thought was that with so many female relatives, maybe the emperor wanted to propose marriage to the number one scholar.
