Min'er hurriedly shook her head: "I don't dare! Master Jian looks too serious, and I don't even dare to approach Master Jian. I think Xiaodie is very powerful, and she can actually be friends with Master Jian."

Gu Xiyan glanced at Hu Die when she heard this: "What kind of woman does Min'er think Master Jian would like?"

Min'er couldn't remember it for a while, until she saw Hu Die, and immediately remembered the scene of Jian Junyi and Hu Die walking together: "Most women don't dare to approach Master Jian, maybe Master Jian will like someone as bold as Xiaodie."

Hu Diepi approached Min'er with a non-smiling smile, and suddenly grabbed her ears: "Am I considered brave?"

Min'er would definitely fight back if she was outside, but she didn't dare to fight back in front of Gu Xiyan, so she could only smile and say, "I'm just making an analogy. The Crown Princess is still watching. Let me go first."

Hu Die snorted softly and let her go out of mercy: "If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth off."

Min'er shrank her neck, thinking that as long as Jian Junyi was a normal person, he wouldn't like Xiaodie, after all, he was so cruel.If you really like such a woman, why don't you murder your husband?

Gu Xiyan watched the two of them playing around, and looked at Hu Die's careless look, and felt that Jian Junyi's relationship might not be too smooth.

By the time the dust settled among the officials of the Prince's Mansion, it was already three days later.

Zhou Mu was so busy these days that Gu Xiyan never saw him when she fell asleep.When she opened her eyes, she found that she was lying back on the bed, which meant that Zhou Mu returned to Qi Shiyuan at night.

Although she didn't see Zhou Mu busy with her own eyes, she knew that Zhou Mu must be very tired.

She did not dare to go to the meeting hall to find Zhou Mu, so she had to stew some tonic soup herself and asked Min'er to send it to the meeting hall.

By the time the weekend was a little freer, it was already mid-September.

By this time the racecourse had opened.

Gu Xiyan's original plan was to wait for the opening day and go to the racecourse to celebrate in person. However, because Zhou Mu was appointed as the crown prince, she felt that her words and deeds would affect Zhou Mu. She had a lot of worries, so she kept a low profile. To avoid being criticized, I didn't go to the racecourse.

As Zhou Mu ascends to the position of prince for the first time, it is always better to play it safe.

In addition, there was a bumper grain harvest in Mocheng this year, and she couldn't let people think that she was related to the bumper grain harvest in Mocheng.

Mr. Yan is "dead", and what Mr. Yan has done should be forgotten. People must not let people know that she and Mr. Yan are the same person, so as not to cause more trouble.

Su Mei knew her concerns and only sent her a letter, assuring her that the couple would take care of the horse farm to make her feel at ease.

At first, Gu Xiyan built the grain warehouse to prevent the grain shortage caused by Zhou Xing. Because of the corruption case five years ago, the Zheng family disappeared from the powerful circles of the capital, and the number one grain merchant in Wuxi was also killed. Zhou Xing wanted to It is difficult to create food shortages like in previous lives.Coupled with Rong Song's business skills, she basically eliminated the possibility of creating a food shortage, which made her feel that the trajectory of this life has undergone a qualitative change.

Just when Gu Xiyan was thinking wildly, Qiushi came inside to report that two female officials from the palace had been sent to the Prince's Mansion, and ten other palace officials were waiting outside.

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised: "Is it someone sent here by His Majesty?"

"I don't know, this slave." Qiushi stopped talking.

Gu Xiyan saw that Qiushi's expression was different, so she asked these people to enter Qishiyuan.

When she saw the leader clearly, she finally understood why Qiushi's expression was like that. It turned out that one of the female officials was Zheng Wanqing.

In the previous life, some of the female members of the Zheng family were exiled, and some became official prostitutes. Only the Zheng sisters were saved by the virtuous concubine and sent to the palace.She has forgotten this in this life.The moment she saw Zheng Wanqing, she knew that Concubine Xian had made the same choice in her previous life before she died. This was to give Zheng Wanqing a chance to get close to Zhou Mu.

Therefore, it could not be that Emperor Cheng De sent the person here, but Concubine Xian's people were behind the scenes and sent Zheng Wanqing to the Prince's Mansion to get close to Zhou Mu.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to sympathize with Zheng Wanqing or to be grateful for her. At least she didn't become an official prostitute.However, the wise concubine did not forget to use Zheng Wanqing to win her favor before she died. The fate of the Zheng family women could not help but be too sad.

"The others stay, you can go back to the palace." Gu Xiyan said to Zheng Wanqing.

Zheng Wanqing didn't expect Gu Xiyan to be so direct. She had her own pride and couldn't kneel down to beg for help, but she still wanted to know why she couldn't stay in the Prince's Mansion.

"Is it because my servant's surname is Zheng that I can't stay on duty in the Prince's Mansion?" she asked with courage.

Gu Xiyan first asked the other palace people to retreat, leaving only Zheng Wanqing, and then said in a low voice: "You and I both know why Concubine Xian protects you, and why you can join the Prince's Palace as a female official this time. It's just because I hope you have a chance to get close to her. It’s just His Royal Highness.”

Zheng Wanqing really didn't expect that Gu Xiyan could see through Aunt Xianfei's intention at a glance. Her face turned pale and she wanted to say something, but she felt that it was all in vain.

"I can't let you be on duty in front of His Royal Highness knowing that you have evil intentions. Besides, His Highness is not used to being served by palace servants. You should go back to the palace and find another way out." Gu Xiyan ended the topic like this.

Zheng Wanqing saluted Gu Xiyan, turned around and walked away silently.

Gu Xiyan looked at Zheng Wanqing's back and thought about how Zheng Wanqing died alone for Zhou Mu in her previous life, and couldn't help but secretly sigh.

So much so that it was rare for Zhou Mu to return to Qishiyuan early that night, but Gu Xiyan was not enthusiastic about him at all, and even ignored him when she saw him.

He thought it was because he had neglected his young wife during this period that she felt resentful.

"I heard that Rong Song's racecourse has opened. Can I take my wife to horse racing tomorrow for my husband?" Zhou Mu suggested in a good voice.

Gu Xiyan looked at him coldly: "I won't go."

He is a very busy man, he just became the crown prince, and he left his official duties to go horse racing with her. Why should the people still say that she is a beauty?
"Then where do you want to go, madam? I will accompany my husband." Zhou Mu sat down next to Gu Xiyan and held her little hand, but she pulled it away mercilessly.

Zhou Mu thought to himself that this girl must be so angry that she treated him so cruelly, "It's because of her husband. She shouldn't have neglected my wife for other things..."

Looking back at this, Xi Yan ordered her servants to prepare the meal before he could finish speaking.

Gu Xiyan's cold violence made Zhou Mu a little confused.

He really had no experience in pleasing people, and his little wife had a soft temper and rarely let him coax her. This time, her cold attitude made him at a loss.

He reflected that he had been leaving early and coming back late since the day he became the crown prince. It was difficult for her to see him, but she would make soup and bring it to him every day, but he remained as always, never caring about her mood.

After dinner, Gu Xiyan silently helped Zhou Mu get a change of clothes and ordered someone to prepare hot water for him.
