It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

The emperor and Concubine Zhou came hand in hand, and everyone present stood up, knelt down and shouted long live.

After the salute, the emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up. He said with a smile: "This is just a family banquet. Dear ladies, don't worry about these false courtesy. Please take your seats."

After everyone sat down, the emperor immediately turned his attention to Zuo Lingfeng and his sister who were sitting aside.

"Today's banquet is held by me and Concubine Zhou. I would like to introduce two people to all my dear friends. These two people are also familiar to everyone. They are the number one scholar Zuo Lingfeng and his younger sister. They have been far away in Kyoto, and now they have no friends in Kyoto, so I want to introduce them to you. To keep everyone close to each other.”

The emperor had said so, and the one below naturally smiled thoughtfully and said, "No, we also admire the scholar's demeanor, but we have a lot of official business on weekdays, so we have less contact. We just happened to chat more recently, and we will work together with the court in the future. Officer, we have to share your Majesty’s worries together.”

The people under his command were so wise, and the emperor was very happy.

On this occasion, as a female family member, Gu Baiyu had no room for her to say anything. She just raised her head and glanced at the superior Concubine Zhou.

Concubine Zhou also caught a glimpse of her gaze, glanced at Zuo Lingfeng and his sister on the side, and winked at Gu Baiyu playfully.

When the two looked at each other, Gu Baiyu knew that his previous guess was correct.

This banquet is to say goodbye to the sister of the number one scholar.

Through everyone's conversation, Gu Baiyu also knew that the number one scholar's sister was named Zuo Ningshuang.

He looks pretty good-looking. Although he was born into a poor family, he is polite and generous in every word and deed. He doesn't look like a difficult person to get along with.

The emperor came with a purpose. He chatted for a few words and then brought it to Zuo Ningshuang.

He also said that Zuo Ningshuang came to Kyoto alone to join her brother. She didn't have much entertainment at home on weekdays, so she asked everyone to chat with her more and make some friends.

The people below immediately started chatting with her. The emperor was very satisfied, nodded, and suddenly turned his attention to Xiao Yanlin.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei's wife and sister are both about the same age as you. There must be many topics to talk about. So..."

The emperor said to the Grand Eunuch on the side, "Go and change seats and let Zuo Ningshuang sit next to them."

The father-in-law on the side immediately ordered someone to move the seat, making a way between Xiao Yanlin and Xiao Ruoyun, and adding a new seat.

The people present were all thoughtful people, and one could tell at a glance that the idea of ​​the Zhuang Yuan Lang brother and sister was to go to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

I just don’t know whether this target is the elder brother Zhenbeihou, or...

Most people still think that Zuo Ningshuang is more likely to like Xiao Yanlin.

After all, Xiao Yanlin is so good. Under his background, Xiao Ruoyun, the younger brother, is much less popular, and many people don't take him seriously.

There were also many female relatives who had been observing Gu Baiyu's expression, but they saw that Gu Baiyu's expression was indifferent. When they saw Zuo Ningshuang coming, they even took the initiative to say hello to her.

Naturally, Gu Ruanruan was not far behind. After Zuo Ningshuang sat down, he pulled her affectionately and said a few words to her.

Her enthusiastic attitude made Zuo Ningshuang stunned for a moment, but it only took a second. She quickly put away her expression and started chatting with Gu Ruanruan with a smile.

The emperor who was sitting in the upper seat was even more satisfied. He nodded and said, "The two ladies of Zhenbei Hou Mansion still understand the general situation."

What he said was very flattering to Gu Ruanruan.

Gu Ruanruan is just a concubine. Although she was granted marriage by imperial decree, she cannot afford to be called a wife.

Hearing what the emperor said, Gu Ruanruan was quite flattered. Thinking that he could be on the same front with Zuo Ningshuang in the future, he became even more kind to her. He held her hand affectionately and asked questions. He heard that she had been alone in the past. It was hard work, but there was some pity on his face.

At this time, everyone was sure of the emperor's thoughts and knew that they were just here to keep him company.

Now that someone is accompanying Zuo Ningshuang, they are no longer limited to Zuo Ningshuang. They just have people they know well and chat in low voices.

This was just a family banquet, and the emperor didn't care about it and just drank tea with Concubine Zhou.

On the other hand, Gu Ruanruan was chatting affectionately with Zuo Ningshuang while observing Gu Baiyu's expression. The more he looked at it, the more strange he felt.

The emperor's thoughts are obvious enough. Looking at Zuo Lingfeng sitting over there, he also looks unsurprised. The idea has already hit his face. Why is Gu Baiyu not anxious at all?

Gu Ruan Ruan was feeling confused when a palace maid came to replace the cold tea for them.

The man didn't know why, but with a shake of his hand, a cup of cold tea was poured onto Gu Ruanruan.

Gu Ruanruan was about to have a seizure when the little palace maid quickly knelt down.

"My slave didn't notice for a while, but Madam's dress got wet. Please ask Madam to change with this slave!"

There was very little movement here, and some people saw it but didn't care. Gu Ruanruan wanted to be angry, but when he saw the little palace maid blinking at her, his heart moved and he said to the little palace maid, "You little girl is doing things carelessly. Yes, forget it, it’s okay, I’ll just go change clothes with you.”

The little maid smiled and whispered to her: "Jieyang Palace is relatively close to here. Madam, please come with me."

Gu Ruanruan actually wanted to stay here to see how things would develop, but she was worried about the second prince.

After thinking about it, if the emperor was really determined to put this woman into the Marquis Mansion, she would not be able to delay things even for a while.

Forget it, she saved the excitement for later and followed the palace maid away.

Before leaving, he pretended to be reluctant and pulled Zuo Ningshuang's hand, "You talk to my sister for a while first, maybe we'll get to know each other more often in the future."

What she said was meaningful, "You guys have a good chat and I'll be back soon."

Gu Baiyu also heard it from the side, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Go ahead, I will take good care of her."

Gu Ruanruan felt more and more that something was wrong, but time did not allow her to think so much.

She stood up and followed the little palace maid away.

Sure enough, the little palace maid took her to a small road to Jieyang Palace.

As soon as they reached the palace gate, the second prince walked out and said, "You're here. Come in quickly!"

Time was limited, so the two did not exchange much greetings.

Gu Ruanruan talked about his experiences in the Hou Mansion with a slight grievance. He thought that the second prince, the nominal sworn brother, would care a few words, but he didn't expect that the second prince said a few perfunctory ums. voice, but the focus was on what she said about the Ministry of Industry.

"According to what you said, the Hou Mansion has been under martial law recently. Could it be that Xiao Ruoyun hasn't given up on getting involved in this matter?"

The second prince was immediately furious, "Why is he so ignorant?"

Seeing that he was angry, Gu Ruanruan quickly tried to dissuade him, "Second Prince, don't worry. I'm watching over my husband, maybe they are just more cautious? On the other hand, the Second Prince, how is the conversation with the officials in the northwest going?"

Hearing this, the second prince's face looked very ugly, and he snorted and said, "It's true that the poor and the poor are the source of unruly people. We haven't reached an agreement yet."

The implication was that there was no agreement on the kickback.

One point of rebate is enjoyed by both parties, and everyone wants to take advantage. This clearly shows that the spoils are unevenly divided.

Gu Ruanruan just wanted to let this matter settle down quickly, and was a little anxious, "The second prince had better make a decision as soon as possible! Once His Majesty promulgates the regulations, even if there are any objections from the Hou Mansion, it will be of no use. It would be better to settle it earlier.”

She persuaded her with good intentions, but the second prince didn't take her words to heart at all, and said lightly, "You are a housewife, what do you know?"

Gu Ruanruan felt depressed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

Yes, in the eyes of these ancients, a woman was of no great importance and could not be used in any great way. Even if she gave advice to the second prince and even presented him with the drawings of the waterwheel, she was nothing more than a dispensable chess piece in his eyes.

Gu Ruanruan secretly vowed in her heart that she must change this situation. She must let the second prince know her importance, so the two started chatting about matters at the Ministry of Industry.

Before we chatted for a few words, the little palace maid at the door became a little anxious and said, "Madam, it's almost time! Please hurry up."

Gu Ruanruan wanted to leave, but he paused and suddenly said: "Is Empress Wanbi here? I have never seen her before."

The second prince thought she had too many things to do, so he said, "Let's meet again when we have the opportunity in the future."

Gu Ruanruan was very persistent. She felt that she had nothing to say to the men and they looked down on her. When the Wan concubine heard that she was very capable, she might appreciate her greatly, so she begged again shamelessly.

The second prince had no choice but to impatiently take her inside.

Wan Bin was holding a white kitten in her hands and was drinking tea. When she saw Gu Ruan Ruan coming, she didn't even look at her.

Gu Ruanruan suddenly felt humiliated, but out of etiquette he still knelt down and saluted her.

After being allowed to sit down and with limited time, Gu Ruanruan thought about showing off in front of Wanbi, so he talked about some relatively new ideas, mostly about competing for favor in the harem.

She originally wanted to attract Wan Bin's attention, but she didn't expect that Wan Bin was just teasing her cat and didn't seem to listen to a word she said.

And her self-righteous thoughts not only did not arouse Wanbi's favor, but made her frown.

This competition for favor in the harem, intrigues and dangers, is something that Gu Ruanruan, a modern person, can explain clearly in just a few words.

The methods Gu Ruanruan said sounded like nonsense to her ears.

But after all, this was the foster sister recognized by her son. She couldn't help but refute Gu Ruanruan's face, so she said very perfunctorily: "Thank you for taking the trouble."

Gu Ruanruan could tell at a glance that these two people didn't care about his thoughts at all. He secretly hated them in his heart because they didn't know how to praise them!

The little maid outside urged her hard, so Gu Ruanruan had to say goodbye in a hurry: "Then I will leave first and come back to see you another day."

After Gu Ruanruan left, Wanbi's face suddenly dropped, and she suddenly pushed the cat out of her arms.

The cat was frightened, meowed, and ran away in a hurry.

Concubine Wan looked disgusted: "Who do you think this girl is? A woman who just got married has nothing to say! Who is I? She actually let me seduce His Majesty on the bed! This woman on the bed Can things be announced to the public in this day and night? There are no rules! I need her to teach me how to do things?!"

The second prince quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, concubine. I don't regard her as a real sister. I just think she is a bit talented and knows some new things. Once I squeeze out all the usefulness from her, I will Cut ties with her."

Wan Bin nodded with satisfaction, "This woman seems to have evil intentions. Son, you'd better stay away from her!"

At this time, Gu Ruanruan had no idea that she had become a very unbearable existence in the eyes of the mother and son. He only wanted to win her favor when he had the opportunity to see Wanbi in the future.
