It's just that Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng can't hold their grandson.

However, this is someone else's business, so Gu Wanning's curiosity is gone.

Soon, it was time to eat.

Cheng Yi said to Gu Wanning: "A'Ning, let's go there together."

"That's good." Gu Wanning thought that Cheng Yi hadn't been to Gu's house for almost five years, and he was somewhat unfamiliar, so she told him, "When you go in later, sit with the third brother, and the third brother is talking all the time." In particular, it can be said that it will definitely not let you stand in the cold."

Generally, at this kind of family banquet, men and women will sit separately.

Cheng Yi said: "Okay, I understand."

After talking, the two went to the dining place.

At this time, the Prince Regent was sitting on the main seat, and beside him were several masters of the Gu family, talking to the Prince Regent.

The regent responded one after another, looking out of the door from time to time, wondering when Gu Wanning would come.

The two hadn't seen each other for a few days, which frightened her and made her resist him. He didn't dare to come too eagerly, but he was always looking forward to someone from the Gu family to invite him over.

In this way, he would have sufficient and aboveboard reasons to visit her without disturbing her.

The day before yesterday, someone from the Gu residence invited him over, he was really excited for a long time, he tidied his clothes as usual before coming, and up to this moment, he was still very excited.

Looking forward to seeing Gu Wanning sooner, and asking her how she has been in the past two days.

I didn't want to raise my eyes, but I saw her talking and laughing at Yanyan with a man.

Take a closer look, that man is exactly Cheng Yi who I named to be transferred to Yingchuan earlier.

The regent's eyes were instantly clouded, and he fixed his eyes on Cheng Yi.

"My lord?" After talking for a long time, Master Gu, who didn't get a response, inevitably called the regent again, but suddenly found that the regent was looking at Cheng Yi and Gu Wanning.

Master Gu's heart skipped a beat.

The regent's gaze is very unusual.

Master Gu knew from Gu Wanxi's mouth that the regent was interested in his daughter, but he expected it to be nothing more than an ordinary meaning.

But looking at the appearance of the regent now, I'm afraid it's unusual.

Master Gu didn't dare to speak again.

Soon after, Cheng Yi came over and bowed to the regent.

The regent did not speak for a long time.

At this moment, he thought of many things.

In the beginning, Cheng Yi was used not because he was talented, nor because he won the number one prize.

After all, there are many champions, not all of them have the chance to be reused by him.

It was simply because he valued Cheng Yi's origin, which was from Cheng's family in Yingchuan, Jiangnan.

The Cheng family and the Gu family have been friends for many generations.

When he thought of Gu Wanning, he subconsciously reused Cheng Yi.

And because of the relationship between Cheng and Gu's family, after Su Hong was dismissed from office, he made an exception to let Cheng Yi come back to be the magistrate, so that Cheng Yi could take care of Gu's family when he was not here in the future.

But he didn't expect that Cheng Yi would have unreasonable thoughts about Gu Wanning.

And he unintentionally contributed to Cheng Yi's good deeds.

Recalling his previous life, he once wanted to offer Cheng Yi a marriage, but Cheng Yi refused.

At that time, he thought that Cheng Yi was so absorbed in his official duties that he had no time for marriage, so he laughed at him as a nerd.

Where is a nerd, but because his sweetheart is dead, he uses official duties to numb himself.

The person in front of him is no longer the official junior whom he wholeheartedly supports, but has become his rival in love.

How ironic.

After a long time, the regent said, "This king never knew that you have such a deep relationship with the Gu family, so do you know why this king is close to the Gu family?"

Because Gu Songbai had greeted him in advance, Cheng Yi followed suit, "I have heard a little about it."

"Then if you do this, will you be worthy of my king's kindness to you?" the regent asked again.

"I am ashamed." Cheng Yi raised his eyes, his eyes were clear, "I have always remembered the kindness of the prince for supporting me, so I have been an official, and I have dedicated myself to being able to be worthy of the support of the prince."

"It's just a side, the lower officials can't let go."

He clearly expressed his attitude to the regent.

The affairs of the court are the affairs of the court, and cannot be confused with the private feelings, and he is even more unwilling to give up the lover in his heart because of this.

"Okay, very good, you are worthy of being the person my king likes."

Just looking at the ice-cold glint between the regent's eyebrows, everyone knew that what the prince said was obviously ironic.

The Gu family looked at Cheng Yi very worriedly, Mrs. Gu hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "My lord, Cheng Yi is young, so it is inevitable that he will not be considerate in his actions. If he does something wrong, please bear with him and give him a break." Time to practice."

A cute smile flashed on the regent's face, "Auntie is being polite, even if it's for the sake of the Gu family and Aning, I won't do anything to him seriously. "

The change was astonishingly fast.

"Cheng Yi, sit down quickly, or Auntie and the others will misunderstand."

Cheng Yi said: "I will obey your orders."

Only then did Madam Gu feel relieved.

Not long after, Gu Wanxi and Gu Wanhua walked in.

Mr. Gu introduced to the regent courteously: "This is the fourth and fifth girls of our family."

The regent neither looked at nor responded, which made Mr. Gu quite embarrassed.

But, the rest of the Gu family looked at Gu Wanxi and Gu Wanhua, and couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

Gu Wanhua could still be considered decently dressed, but as for the fifth girl, Gu Wanxi, she forcibly painted her pretty face into a big one.

Compared with Gu Wanxi, Gu Wanhua is much more pleasing to the eyes of everyone.

The two went up to greet the regent, who was not very interested and asked them to sit back.

Gu Wanxi happily sat beside Gu Wanning.

"Second sister, do you think I look good today?" The little girl asked eagerly as soon as she sat down.

Gu Wanning opened her eyes and said nonsense, "It's very prominent, but I don't know why you are dressed like this today?"

The other female members of the Gu family also looked at Gu Wanxi curiously.

Gu Wanxi then said to them: "Because my father said that the Prince Regent is coming over today, let me dress up well, if I can get the prince's favor, it will be even better."

"But I don't like the lord. I was afraid that the lord would take a fancy to me, and I wanted to take this opportunity to dispel my father's thoughts, so I dressed up like this."

Gu Wanning laughed with a "puchi", "You must have scared the third uncle today, I'm afraid he won't dare to say such things in the future."

Gu Wanxi nodded seriously, "I just want him to be afraid."

This appearance amused everyone.

Mrs. Gu even teased her: "Sister Xi, if you do this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get married in the future?"

Gu Wanxi tilted her head and thought for a while, "I'm still young."

In the middle of lunch, at the height of excitement, Gu Wanhua came to the Prince Regent with a glass of wine in his hand, and boldly said: "My lord has been taking care of our Gu family a lot recently, and my little girl would like to offer you a glass of wine, so I wonder if your lord would do me a favor?
