Bai Yuegang of Prince Ning's Mansion

Gu Jingjue took a deep breath, swallowing the unwillingness in her heart.

Ignore Ruixue's somewhat contemptuous eyes, and put on the docile expression that she often practices alone in front of the mirror.

"What Princess Ning said is that my Gu family doesn't have much capital, and my dad doesn't allow me to use the military and political affairs of the northern border as bargaining chips.

With a curse in her heart, Ruixue knew that Jiang Huai, an old fox, would definitely not let it go when she saw that Zhao Fengnian was useless.

Fortunately, Gu Jingjue's father and daughter are still clear, and they didn't get on Jiang Huai's thief boat.

Zhao Fengnian's eyes are quite accurate, no wonder he would strongly recommend Gu Chengyun to take charge of the military administration of the northern border on his behalf.

Ruixue knew that the purpose of Gu Jingjue's words was nothing more than to express her heart and remind herself that their father and daughter were on King Ning's side.

For the loss of some opportunities for King Ning, it is not too much to ask for some rewards now.

It's not that Ruixue is unwilling to help Gu Jingjue, but she doesn't like Gu Jingjue's half-begging, half-threatening attitude.

She picked her fingers carelessly, she wanted to see how far Gu Jingjue could go for this matter.

"Isn't this what General Gu should do? The person who recommended him is King Ning. If he is willing to associate with Prime Minister Zuo for the sake of his immediate interests, do you think it is still possible for your father to go to the northern border?"

Gu Jingjue frowned slightly, frightened that she had said something wrong, Ruixue has always played cards unreasonably.

She said that, if the words reached King Ning's ears, wouldn't it make King Ning suspicious of his father?

But the words have already been spoken, and it is too late to take them back.

I can only bite the bullet and say: "Prince Ning misunderstood, this matter has nothing to do with my father and King Ning, I just asked Princess Ning to give me a chance in my own name."

After hearing this, Rui Xue sneered: "Isn't what you said inconsistent? If you want to cooperate with me, the only bargaining chip in your hand is your father's official position. This will be in your own name again. What do you have? What can you do for me when you go to the north?"

Gu Jingjue has some schemes, but most of those schemes are forced to use when she has no choice.

It doesn't work at all in Ruixue.

After a few words, Ruixue broke her defense.

No matter how strong she was, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl, her eyes were already red, and she burst into tears instantly.

And she didn't want Rui Xue, who was watching her jokes, to see that her aggrieved face changed.

Seeing Gu Jingjue like this, Ruixue couldn't bear it.

She needs someone's help to act as a successor in the north.

It stands to reason that with Gu Chengyun's relationship, Gu Jingjue is a very suitable candidate.

But Gu Jingjue is too purposeful and not honest enough.

Ruixue always has to try her determination, so that she can safely leave this matter to her.

Ruixue is not worried that if she really rejects Gu Jingjue, she will turn to Jiang Huai to find a way out.

Even if she was willing, Zhao Fengnian probably wouldn't.

Seeing that there was no way to continue the conversation, Gu Jingjue's heart also turned cold.

She made a mistake in judgment and was too anxious.

If she was in Prince Ning's mansion that day, Ruixue asked her if she would like to go to the northern border to help with the affairs of the Shantang.

She promised to come down and find another opportunity to talk to Ruixue about participating in the business, so she probably wouldn't refuse herself.

It's because I missed the opportunity, and now I have no reason to blame Ruixue.

What's more, she was originally an unpopular existence in the circle of noble girls in Kyoto.

Before that, in order to obtain information from the northern border, he intentionally approached Qi Qilu.

In Ruixue's eyes, she was probably already an untrustworthy person.

After figuring this out, Gu Jingjue stood up and said goodbye a little bit disappointed.

Ruixue was a little worried about entrusting such an important matter as the northern trade route to Gu Jingjue.

But it's not like he doesn't want to give her a chance.

Standing up and seeing off, looking at Gu Jingjue's somewhat lonely back, he said.

"My previous proposal is still valid. If you are willing to deal with the Beijing Shantang, I can still hand over some matters to you for assistance."

Gu Jingjue couldn't believe her ears, turned around happily, and agreed without thinking.

Ruixue smiled lightly, looking at Gu Jingjue's expression now, there was some sincerity.

"That's it, before you leave, please help bring a batch of supplies there. I will prepare it in the next few days, and you will bring someone to pick it up around the tenth day of the lunar new year."

Only then did Gu Jingjue believe that Ruixue really gave herself a chance.

"It's a word."

Ruixue smiled and agreed: "It's a deal, I'll talk to you in detail when the time comes."

Seeing that it was noon, Rui Xue left Gu Jingjue to eat before leaving.

Gu Jingjue waved her hands and said to Ruixue: "No, this matter must not be sloppy, I'll go back earlier to make preparations. Concubine Ning stay here."

After seeing off Gu Jingjue, Ruixue turned to look for Rongniang.

Lunch was already on the table, and Rongniang was waiting for Ruixue to come back.

After washing her hands, she hurriedly pulled Ruixue to the table and sat down.

"How, did you run back crying when you were so popular?"

Ruixue took the bowl and chopsticks from Rongniang, and looked at her curiously.

"Almost. But how do you know, she will cry in anger, Gu Jingjue looks quite arrogant and strong."

Rong Niang blinked, with an expression of excitement about sharing gossip with her best friend.

"Before I knew you, when she first came to the capital and squeezed into our circle, she was angry and cried many times by the other sisters. But gradually, her face became thicker, and she just pretended not to see ordinary things. I heard, when I get angry, I will just stay by myself, but I still like to join in the fun."

Ruixue curled her lips: "You guys are really ruthless. She didn't do anything wrong, so why do you keep bullying her?"

Rong Niang nodded lightly: "Well, although everyone may think so in their hearts, the environment is different. When there are too many people together, they will always do some inappropriate things and say something insincere. It hurts Only by helping others can you show your own superiority.”

Ruixue shook her head, expressing that she didn't understand the evil little thoughts aroused when these girls got together.

Rongniang helped Ruixue pick up some food.

"Everyone has a dark shadow in their hearts. They cannot be explained to outsiders, and they cannot be shown to others. Sometimes you relax a little, and it will spread and do things that even you are afraid of when you think about it afterwards."

Ruixue wanted to applaud Rongniang for being able to say such philosophical words.

After the girl came back to life, she was really transparent and matured a lot.

"By the way, I asked Gu Jingjue to help you take those things to the northern border. They are mostly yellow and white things. It is definitely not safe to go with you. Ask her to take them with you and go with the army. You can also save a lot. thing."

Rong Niang nodded in agreement, Ruixue's arrangement would not be wrong.

"Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while, meet someone with me in the afternoon, and I will always help you buy some cheap paper books with money, and they will be delivered in the afternoon."
