Chapter 424 Proposal for the Prince
Don't think she doesn't know that the gossip slandering Xiaoxiao in the capital cannot be done without the participation of this group of dandies, and today's meeting happened to make them feel ashamed.

Of course, Gu Chang'an had to be notified about this matter. When he was talking to the housekeeper, he happened to be talking to the Gu family, so he didn't try to avoid suspicion. Except for the senior scholar, the rest of the people immediately looked disgusted.

"He came here uninvited and made troubles. It's obvious that he hasn't learned the rules seriously at all."

Gu Dashi glanced at the junior who said this: "Don't talk about right and wrong after others."

The junior who spoke just now respectfully said yes, and he already understood in his heart that he would have a few more copies of his family business when he returned home.

Gu Chang'an said: "The visitor is a guest, and he should be courteous."

Gu Dashi, who was drinking tea from a cup, frowned unconsciously, but Gu Chang'an said again: "Especially when singing the ceremonies, the voice is clearer, don't let people think that our general's house looks down on them."

Grand Scholar Gu's brows loosened, and there was satisfaction in his eyes that only his family could understand: "It should be so."

The rest of the Gu family were startled, and wanted to laugh for a while.

In the matter of protecting the shortcomings, only Chang'an really got the true biography of his father.

Others thought that Senior Scholar Gu was cold, fair, generous, and a model of scholars all over the world, but they didn't know that this person was narrow-minded, and he didn't care about the sages.

Those aristocratic ladies were all improvised, how could they even bring presents on purpose, who would have thought...

Zuo Xiangling, who was the first to enter the door, had just put something on the tray when she heard the porter singing loudly: "Miss Zuo, I will give you a twisted silk silver bracelet!"

She felt that her face was flushed with embarrassment in an instant, and she wished she could immediately cover the porter's mouth.

Xiao Xiao, who heard about this in the room, laughed wildly, clutching her stomach and yelling, Xiao Ran was both helpless and doting: "Quickly stop laughing, the makeup I just put on is going to be ruined!"

While continuing to hahaha, Xiaoxiao took the veil her mother gave her and pressed the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Oh mother, I can imagine the expressions of those noble girls at that time! Are all the facial features distorted?"

The maid who reported just now nodded her head again and again: "Isn't that right? There were swarms of bees rushing in, but they all stopped when they heard this sound. Those who took off jewelry took off jewelry, those who picked jade pendants picked them up, and those who were close to home quickly asked people to go home to pick them up." Congratulations!"

After all, they are all dignified figures, no one can afford to lose that person!

Anyway, His Royal Highness's carriage is just outside the gate of the General's Mansion, so it can be seen that someone else is inside. It's better to be late than to lose face like that.

"Then who?" Zuo Xiangling was in a dilemma, so she could only grit her teeth and remove the head that was specially brought out today to show off and put it on the tray. At the same time, she glared at the concierge and said fiercely, "Why are you shouting in such a hurry! Are you rushing to reincarnate? Miss Ben It's not over yet!"

The servant wasn't angry either, and bowed to admit his mistake politely, and when she did stop, he sang in a higher voice: "Miss Zuo's family adds a ruby ​​headdress, an oriental bead pendant, and a jade pendant!"

Zuo Xiangling was even angrier, why did she look ashamed whether she added it or not?
And what is a "face set"?At any rate, reading out the same thing, it also seems that she has a lot of things!

But this little guy is so quick-talking, Zuo Xiangling couldn't find a chance to intervene, and now that the matter has come to an end, she can only shake her sleeves angrily, thinking of going in to see His Highness the Crown Prince first, but after being brought to her place, she went to talk again. Dumbfounded: "Why are you so biased?"

The maid who led the way smiled politely, but her words were not so polite.

"Because this is a temporary table, I didn't plan to invite too many people."

Zuo Xiangling: ...

Knowing this link, Xiaoxiao couldn't stop laughing, Xiao Ran couldn't help but pull him back and hold him down, and at the same time forbade the maid to tell what happened outside.

In this way, Xiaoxiao sat down and put on the last piece of jewelry.

I don't know if it's because she's too simple in normal times, or because she's just so beautiful that she can't give up on herself. Xiao Ran feels that her daughter is so beautiful today that she can't bear to blink.

"Thinking that you will get engaged after you reach Jiji, and then you will leave us to marry someone else's family, I just..."

Before Xiaoxiao could think of words of consolation, she changed the subject: "Fortunately, the person who is going to marry in the future, we know the whole story, and we don't live far away, right?"

Xiaoxiao: ...

"Mom, you've learned badly!"

Xiao Ran didn't deny it, but continued to tease her on purpose: "Oh, speaking of which, I wonder if Ah Yan is here?"

The person they were talking about was clenching his fists and bowing his head in silence.

The elegant and bright Concubine Ji was impatient: "Did you hear what I said clearly?"

"It's her blessing that the crown prince takes a fancy to that girl. Since you have a good relationship with the Xiao family, you should persuade her more."

Rong Yan's good mood that lasted for many days was instantly ruined: "What if I say no."

Concubine Ji snorted disdainfully: "It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree, maybe after today, if you see her again, you will call her 'Sister-in-law'."

Rong Yan suddenly raised his head: "What do you mean?"

Concubine Ji Gui said coldly: "Have you seen what the Yan family wants and will not get it?"

Rong Yanfeng left like a wind, and after he left for a long time, the mocking look on Concubine Ji Guifei's face slowly receded, and the nurse who had been with her for many years sighed, and broke off her fingers pinched in the palm of her hand: "Your Majesty, why bother?" .”

Concubine Ji took a deep breath, and asked without answering, "How long has the queen been away?"

The nanny replied, "Half a stick of incense."

Concubine Ji closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had that frosty look again: "Send someone to stop her at all costs, go, go see Your Majesty."

Mammy was puzzled: "What are you doing seeing Your Majesty?"

Concubine Ji said: "Propose marriage for the prince."

In the busy city of the capital, a seemingly low-key but luxurious carriage ran into someone and was stopped. In another place, the guests of the General's Mansion were seated one by one, and the formal ceremony began.

The noble ladies formed a table by themselves, except for the prince, none of the guests present looked down on them.

The carefree Han Qing, the dusty Gongsun Zhongjing, and the chubby Shen Tianci are all their main targets of contempt.

"This general's mansion is really not particular. Why does everyone put their hair on their heads, let alone the ignorant reckless man and the chubby fat man, who is also worthy of eating with us like a beggar?"

"That's right, it's a self-deprecation!"

Thinking of this, they felt even more distressed about the gift given today.

Called a servant girl, and they stuffed a piece of broken silver: "What gift does the prince follow?"

There is nothing to hide, the servant girl replied, "Book."

Ladies and gentlemen, as expected!That Xiao Ning is really omnipotent, although I don't know how she got on with His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness the Crown Prince who can coax her to help, it can be seen that she is very scheming!
"So what if I can please the prince, look at those empty seats, isn't it all because she failed to please?"
