Pei Ding's arms tensed up a little, and he spoke after a long while, his tone was difficult: "Yes.

Madam, you'd better not know the cause of the children's death.

If you want to blame someone, blame the crown prince. It was all caused by the crown prince and the Sixth Prince!"

The eldest princess sighed.

Some were worried: "If the emperor was so easily provoked, the crown prince would have been replaced countless times."

Pei Ding held his beloved wife in his arms, patted her with his big hands, and comforted her: "It's okay, as long as we find the location where the prince hides his private soldiers..."

To be honest, he hated them more than anyone else. He hated himself for being blind and raising an ungrateful person, and he hated them even more for the way they treated his daughter, whom he held in the palm of their hands.

"The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince, the more they want something, the less I will allow them to get it! And that person... heh."

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes, but she still looked smiling.

"Let's find a chance to talk to that kid Gu Yuan. Since he avenged our family, we can't neglect his benefactor.

What's more, there is Ming Cheng's marriage to him..."

It sounds like this person loves Ming Cheng, but I don't know how much this love is worth...

After all, he is a prince of an enemy country.

It's icy and snowy outside.

The cold air was biting. Pei Chun waited on the wall for a long time before he heard footsteps coming.

It was still Chuyi who brought Gu Yuan with him.

He actually changed his clothes, from the simple snow-white clothes to the indigo-colored, exquisitely embroidered Western Xinjiang clothes.

There was also a bright red cape draped behind him.

The already fair skin looks even whiter than snow against the backdrop of these two bright and rich colors.

She didn't braid her hair into a cumbersome little braid, but instead tied it up neatly into a bun, looking very energetic.

Even if he didn't say anything, you could see the excitement in his eyes and brows.

He looked much more lively than the sickly man he had been in front of the princess's mansion at noon.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are two people.

As soon as he landed, the wind was blown up by him. Pei Chun's nose moved slightly and he actually smelled the scent of perfumed powder.

This is the latest popular style in Beijing.

She blinked, shocked by Gu Yuan's changing expressions.

But he still put Xiaobai down and smiled at Gu Yuan: "Let's go."

I always feel that Gu Yuan is like a proud little princess, really changeable.

It is also like a peacock with its screen spread out, dressed up beautifully, just to show its best side in front of its loved one.

Looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she changed her clothes to celebrate the arrival of the imperial decree granting marriage.

Gu Yuan nodded. Although the imperial decree granting the marriage today caught him off guard, it did make him overjoyed.

From now on Mingcheng is his wife, they are husband and wife, and no one can separate them!

Haha, what brother Yue, get out of here as far as you can!

Because the Spring Festival is approaching, the entire Princess's Mansion is filled with festive red colors.

The snow in front of and behind the house was cleared away by the diligent servants. Pei Chun took Gu Yuan's hand and walked towards his second brother's room.

The imperial edict came too suddenly just now, and he was so shocked that he forgot to ask the doctor to check his pulse. Now only his second brother can come to see him in person.

"Mingcheng, Xijiang's request for marriage was not Yuan's doing. It was just a coincidence."

Gu Yuan grabbed Pei Chun's hand, remembered what Ming Cheng had asked him before he left, and subconsciously explained.

While speaking, I couldn't stop observing her expression, afraid that she might think too much or show some reluctance.

Pei Chun didn't care. Whether there was an imperial decree or not, she would do her best to make the marriage happen.

It would be better if the imperial edict came on its own initiative.

"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day. Do you want any New Year's gift?"

She remembered that she didn't know his preferences yet, so she thought it would be safer to ask, at least to give him something he liked.

Gu Yuan smiled and was about to answer when Nanny Qin came over hurriedly.

He subconsciously stopped smiling and suppressed the urge to speak.

"Sixth Miss, Duke Ping's family is here."

Pei Chun also retracted the smile on his face.

He frowned slowly. Duke Ping had not caused any trouble in his previous life. He was just like most officials in the court, who took advantage of his elder brother and father when they were down.

But tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Most people would not visit at this time unless there is something important.

Thinking of this, Pei Chun could only pat Gu Yuan's hand temporarily as a consolation: "To prevent others from seeing and causing trouble, you go find your second brother first, and I will go to the front hall to check."

"Okay." Gu Yuan nodded obediently, looking back every few steps and following Nanny Qin.

Pei Chun looked up, glanced at the setting sun in the west, squinted his eyes, and thought that a visit at night must be a bad omen...

When she arrived, her father and mother were sitting in the main seats, chatting with Duke Ping and his wife over tea.

The atmosphere between the two sides was relatively good.

The third brother sat aside, leaning his body and looking nonchalant, holding a handful of salted preserved fruits that Pei Chun bought from the shop today.

With his legs crossed, he leaned sideways on the armrest of the chair, with his legs hanging, swinging leisurely.

There was no sense of urgency about marrying a royal princess.

Pei Chun smiled and bowed to the Duke Ping and his wife.

His eyes fell on the tray in the hands of the servant of Duke Pingguo's Mansion, and he saw a warm jade pendant lying quietly on it.

Pei Chun raised his eyebrows, and while grabbing the preserved fruit, he quietly leaned over to his third brother Pei Zhan's ear and asked, "What's the story?"

The third brother shrugged, lowered his head, picked out two dried peaches that looked okay, and handed them in the direction of Pei Chun.

"Requesting a kiss with Feng Huan."

You want to marry Feng Huan, but why are you coming to the princess's mansion?

We should go to Feng Mansion.

Pei Chun stretched out his hand and was about to take it, but he saw the annoying third brother pull his hand back very quickly.

Seeing the dried peaches about to fall into the gluttonous mouth, she glared in anger and reached out to grab them.

Third brother Pei Zhan stretched his arms high and refused to give it to her.

Pei Chun was so angry that he wanted to bite him.

"Which woman do you hope to marry Feng Huan?" Pei Chun asked quietly.

Of course, the dried peaches luckily fell into her hands in the end.

The main reason was that the third brother Pei Zhan had a chest injury and could not beat her.

Well, Pei Chun only thinks so unilaterally.

"The fifth daughter of the legitimate wife." Pei Zhan kept talking. The peach in his hand was snatched away by Pei Chun. He turned around and grabbed some other dried peaches.

The Fifth Lady? Wasn't this the person mentioned by the Sixth Prince when he was conspiring with the Queen?

Who is this person? And why is he calling for Feng Huan by name?

Pei Chun thought about it and suddenly remembered that there was a woman named Zhang among Feng Huan’s mistresses in his previous life.

Duke Ping's last name is also Zhang, it can't be such a coincidence...

Pei Chun stopped eating dried peaches and thought seriously.

The two children were making such a loud noise that it was impossible for the Princess and Pei Ding to pretend not to see them.

"Mingyu, don't mess with your sister." Pei Ding scolded indifferently.

The princess also smiled apologetically at the Duke and Duchess Ping.

The wife of Duke Ping could only respond: "It's okay, Mingyu and Chun'er are still young."

The princess didn't say anything. Last time, Pei Chun was missing at the Winter Solstice Palace Banquet, and the wife of Duke Pingguo said that he was young and ignorant.

Do you really think she has forgotten it?

Obviously, the wife of Duke Pingguo beside her also realized that what she said was wrong, her eyes drifted away, and she subconsciously tried to make up for it.

"It's better to be young, so that the child doesn't have to get married. As parents, we really can't bear to let her go."

Duke Ping was also a smart man. After hearing what his wife said, he immediately took over the conversation: "Yes, if my son is lucky enough to marry Zixun this time, our two families can be considered to be even closer relatives."

The princess picked up the teacup, smiled and said nothing.

Pei Ding frowned and said bluntly: "But Zixun hasn't come back to the princess's mansion for a long time.

Besides, he helped the Pei family to give false testimony in the court and almost sent Jiashan to the dungeon.

The Princess's Mansion doesn't want to have too much contact with this ungrateful person!

Just think of it as the Princess’s Mansion having had no contact with Zixun for all these years.

If Duke Ping really wants to marry that kid Zixun, he might as well go to the Feng Mansion and take a look."

This was a very impolite remark, and Duke Ping's smile froze.

Although he felt embarrassed, he knew in his heart that Feng Huan had now severed ties with the Princess's Mansion and would probably not receive support from Duke Xin anymore.

But this is not important. Anyway, his purpose of coming here today was not for Feng Huan.

Instead, he said, "Alas, it is normal for Brother Pei to be angry when encountering such a thing. In this case, it is not good for your younger brother to force it.

My brother chose this person because he was attracted by the fact that this child was raised by you.

But now it seems that Feng Huan's character is worrying. It is a waste of Brother Pei's years of teaching. He is really an ungrateful person.

I am worried about my brother marrying off the fifth girl!

Fortunately, Brother Pei and his younger brother have many children. Even though Feng Huan is gone, there is still Ming Zhao.

If there is a chance, I will let my fifth and seventh daughters meet your Ming Zhao. "

Pei Mingzhao is the name of fourth brother Pei Che.

Duke Ping went around in circles before finally stating his purpose.

If he can be the first to fulfill the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the position of the First Duke will definitely be his in the future.

Besides, his third son is preparing to take part in the Spring Examination, which is under the personal charge of the Crown Prince.

There are countless students from all over the country. Whether his son can rise to the top overnight depends on whether he can successfully bribe the prince this time...

Pei Ding sneered in his heart.

Pei Chun also rolled his eyes.
