The second prince never expected that Xiao Yanlin would suddenly appear here.

If you have to say it, Xiao Yan's arrival will be more troublesome than Prime Minister Gu's appearance here.

Not to mention that he held military power, even Emperor Ye was polite to him. Just saying that Xiao Yanlin had a series of great victories at the border and rescued Daye and Shuihuo. Emperor Ye even had the idea of ​​​​taking over with Xiao Yanlin.

It was Xiao Yan who knew how to advance or retreat and rejected Emperor Ye's good intentions.

But despite this, the military merits in Xiao Yanlin's hands were real. If he had really sworn sworn friends back then, he would still call Xiao Yanlin "uncle" now.

Now Zhenbei Hou occasionally goes to the harem, and when they are present, Emperor Ye will ask them to call Xiao Yanlin uncle.

"Why is Marquis Zhenbei so elegant and suddenly came to Nian'an Temple? I once heard that Marquis Zhenbei doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas but only believes in himself. Why did he change his gender?"

If Emperor Ye were present at this moment, hearing his rude tone, he would inevitably have to reprimand him.

But now, he is angry and will definitely not worry so much.

Xiao Yanlin's expression did not change when he heard this, and he remained calm and unfazed.

He just turned his gaze to Gu Baiyu, with a gentle look on his face.

"Miss Gu is here. What's strange about me coming? Miss Gu and Mrs. Gu believe in Buddhism, so naturally I can follow suit."

These words really gave Gu Baiyu and the Prime Minister's Office a boost of face. If an ordinary man said this, he would be laughed at and scolded as "hep-controller".

But the second prince didn't find it interesting, and instead looked even more gloomy.

"Is Marquis Zhenbei determined to get involved in the Gu family's affairs before marrying Miss Gu?"

"It's easy to say that I have an engagement with Miss Gu, so it's not abrupt. On the contrary, the second prince is not a relative, so there is no reason to force someone to form a sworn marriage."

"you!"

The second prince was furious, this was not giving him any face!

"Good! Good! Good! Zhenbei Hou is doing very well!"

"If the second prince is okay, I will take Miss Gu and others and leave first. After all, there is a foreigner here, and the reputation of the two young ladies is not good."

This "foreign man" naturally refers to the second prince.

The second prince's face was ashen at this moment.

He glared at Xiao Yanlin fiercely, and then turned his attention to Gu Ruanruan.

Gu Ruanruan also glanced at him, with dodge in his eyes.

The second prince said that there is no way to continue this matter today.

He was too lazy to meet Gu Ruanruan another day.

This family offended him!

"Even if we fail to form a sworn marriage, it will not affect my appreciation of Miss Gu Er."

The second prince withdrew his gaze and said, "Second Miss Gu, I will definitely give you a generous dowry on your wedding day, so don't worry."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

It wasn't until the second prince left that Gu Baiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Ruanruan didn't know how to face Mrs. Gu, and kept his head down.

Mrs. Gu's tone had calmed down, and she thanked Xiao Yanlin again and again.

Then he said to Gu Baiyu thoughtfully: "Thank you very much, Lord Marquis. I will take your sister to the carriage first."

Gu Ruan Ruan said nonchalantly: "Mother..."

"Come on, Mom has something to ask you."

When did this daughter hook up with the second prince? She had to ask!

The family has completely fallen out with the Second Prince's faction. Fortunately, this concubine still has a relationship in private. If others find out about this, it will be said that they take care of the family, participate in partisan disputes, and even place bets!

Gu Ruanruan was reluctantly taken away by Mrs. Gu.

The other people in the Buddhist hall had been taken away by the abbot, and now only Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin were left.

"Master Hou, thank you very much for today."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

When facing Gu Baiyu alone, Xiao Yanlin's expectations became more gentle.

But thinking of the second prince's appearance when he left, Gu Baiyu frowned slightly.

"Why is the second prince so obsessed with Gu Ruanruan? Logically speaking, the attitude of the Marquis today is like this, and my mother doesn't agree with it. He shouldn't have said anything like giving Gu Ruanruan a dowry when they get married... "

"Don't worry. If you are really worried, I will check it for you."

At the same time, the second prince returned home disappointed.

His carriage stopped at the gate of Nian'an Temple. When he came out, his face was cold, and the servants did not dare to speak.

The second prince got on the carriage. The carriage was very spacious. Besides the second prince, there was actually another person sitting on it!

"Second Prince, isn't everything going well?"

The speaker looked to be about 50 to [-] years old. He was wearing a Taoist robe, had a neat and slender beard, and was holding a fly whisk. He seemed to have a certain air of Taoism and immortality.

Facing this person, the second prince put away his anger and even bowed to him politely.

"Taoist Master Mu, I didn't succeed in this matter. However, I still told Miss Gu Er that I would give her a dowry on her wedding day. I believe there will be room for development in the future."

The man known as "Taoist Master Mu" nodded and said in an unhurried tone: "Nothing, the second prince has a fate with this woman, and there will be many opportunities for him to come into contact with her in the future."

Having said this, the second prince couldn't help but ask: "Taoist Master Mu, why are you so persistent with this woman?"

Taoist priest Mu is enigmatic: "I can't say more than that. If I say anything, I will reveal the secret. The second prince only needs to remember that this woman has an extraordinary origin and has great wisdom. If the second prince wants to achieve great things in the future, this Women are your great help.”

"Second Prince, please be sure to win over this person. She will bring you unexpected gains in the future."

He was still so ambiguous in his words, but the second prince believed him.

He couldn't help but believe it.

On the eve of the Gu family's repentance of their marriage, Taoist Master Mu suddenly visited the house and told him in advance that there might be changes in his marriage to Gu Baiyu. He also predicted several events that would follow. He seemed to be an expert with insight into opportunities.

As for Gu Ruanruan, he seems to value him very much and has a soft spot for him. He only thinks that this person will be of great use in the future.

The second prince himself did not see the use of such a concubine, and even felt that she was not as good as Gu Baiyu.

He also proposed to directly incorporate Gu Ruanruan into his back house, but Taoist priest Mu still said that she and he were not destined to be husband and wife for the time being, so they should not make things worse.

The second prince could only choose to believe.

......

Not to mention what the second prince's plan was for Gu Ruanruan.

Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin said a few words, worried about Mrs. Gu in the carriage, and then said goodbye and left.

Xiao Yanlin offered to escort them back, but Gu Baiyu did not refuse.

Gu Baiyu got on the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The servants around him were silent, with their heads lowered.

Gu Baiyu felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Sure enough, when they got on the carriage, they saw Gu Ruanruan covering her cheek, while Mrs. Gu stood aside with a cold face and said nothing.

Mrs. Gu has always been good-tempered, but today she must have become angry and took action.

"Mom, calm down."

"How do you tell me to calm down!"

Mrs. Gu was angry again: "This elm-headed man doesn't know what's good and what's good! You know what is going on with your father and the second prince's faction! It's too late to avoid it, but you're better off! You're still trying to get closer!"

"Mom!" Gu Ruanruan was unconvinced: "I have already told you the reason! Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. How does daddy know that the person he supports will definitely ascend to the throne? Support him from all sides and leave a note for yourself. The Lu family can only last long!"
