The scumbag ex-husband knelt down to salute, and gritted his teeth to meet the emperor's aunt

Ning Hedi's voice made the Queen and Gu Zhanyue look this way at the same time.

The queen stood up and walked towards them with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, you and Sanlang are here together." The queen held her hand as she spoke.

"How about having dinner in the palace today?" The queen suggested with a smile, "This palace will ask people to prepare more things you like to eat."

Jiang Xi looked at the expectant look on the empress's face, so she couldn't refuse, so she could only agree.

She bowed to the queen, "Thank you, empress."

"Look at you little girl, why are you so savvy about etiquette? If this continues, I will be angry." The queen nodded her forehead as she spoke.

"Ben Gong and Ning Ning are handkerchiefs, and her daughter is Ben Gong's daughter. If you are like this, Ben Gong will be unhappy." The queen said and patted her on the head.

"Aunt Chu." Seeing this, Jiang Xi quickly changed his words.

"Hey." The queen smiled.

Jiang Xi was dragged by the queen to sit beside her, and the queen was in high spirits.

She has always thought that if her mother was alive, she must look like the queen.

Jiang Xi accompanied the queen to chat about family affairs, and told her many interesting things back then, such as how to fall in love at first sight and how to marry her mother.

He also said that Jiang Yu was very popular in Chang'an City back then. Apart from her mother, many people liked Jiang Yu, even more than Gu Jinzhou now. The only difference is probably Jiang Yu's dedication.

"Sanlang, I heard that Xuanyang also liked Jiang Qing back then." Bengong set his sights on Ning Hedi.

Jiang Xi frowned slightly when she heard the name.

Who is Xuan Yang?

Why had she never heard of this name?
Not only did Jiang Yu never mention it, even her grandmother didn't seem to mention it.

Is she an important key figure?

"Aunt Chu, who is Xuan Yang?" Jiang Xi looked at the queen and asked curiously.

"You juniors don't know Xuan Yang." The queen didn't see the doubt in Jiang Xi's eyes, but patted her on the head with a smile.

"Xuanyang is His Majesty's younger sister, titled Princess Xuanyang, and her boudoir name is Gu Jinyue. It is said that Jiang Qing has been in love with Jiang Qing since she was a child." The queen laughed when she said this.

"After Jiang Qing and Ning Ning got married, she left Chang'an City. I heard that she is living a happy life in the fief." The queen still had a smile on her face, "I don't know how long it will take for Xuanyang to get out of Jiang The fact that Qing is married."

Jiang Xi understands one thing a little bit, that is, Xuan Yang used to like her father, but because her father married his mother, he has not gotten out of this past until now.

Ning and Emperor Yushu are facing the wind, Prince Ding is gentle, and Prince Gong is unrestrained. One can imagine how magnificent Princess Xuanyang was when she was young.

"Xuanyang will come out one day." Ning Hedi seemed unwilling to mention this younger sister more.

Jiang Xi noticed the look on Ning Hedi's face, and couldn't help showing a little concern for Princess Xuanyang.

After having dinner with Ning Hedi, the empress, and Gu Zhanyue, the empress asked Gu Zhanyue to send her back home in person.

On the way back to the mansion, Jiang Xi got into Gu Zhanyue's carriage.

"Actually, I can go back alone." Jiang Xi looked at Gu Zhanyue and said in a low voice, "Why do you have to let Ziyu make an extra trip?"

"It's okay." Gu Zhanyue's face was gentle, "It's normal for the queen mother to worry about you."

Because Gu Zhanyue knew very well in his heart that this was a hard-won opportunity that his mother had won for her.

Jiang Xi glanced at Gu Zhanyue, and the words Ning and Di said came to mind again.

She glanced at Gu Zhanyue, knowing that Gu Zhanyue should not be given hope.

"Ziyu, life is not only romantic, love and affection." Jiang Xi looked at Gu Zhanyue with a smile and curled his lips, "Those years at the border taught me a lot of truths."

"I am different from these noble girls in Chang'an City. They are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, while I am good at bow and horse riding and archery. Free-flying eagle."

Glancing at the expression on Gu Zhanyue's face, Jiang Xi didn't give him a chance to speak, but continued, "Zi Yue, I don't like the life in the imperial city, nor do I like intrigue, and I don't like doing things for the sake of others. Daily favors compete with others to be jealous."

"If I want to marry in the future, I will be the only one in my eyes. If not, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."

She met Gu Zhanyue's gaze, and her tone was firm, "I know Ziyu's heart, but Ziyu is just a friend in my heart. As a prince, Ziyu will be crowned the ninth five in the future. I like that kind of life."

Seeing the expression on Gu Zhanyue's face, Jiang Xi reached out and pressed his shoulder, "Ziyu, it's not that you are bad, it's that I don't like you, it's that I don't deserve you."

Gu Zhanyue clenched the hand hanging by his side and then slowly loosened it. He looked at Jiang Xi and shook his head, "No, no, no."

"Xiaoxiao is a very good child." Gu Zhanyue said quickly, "It's not that Xiaoxiao is not good enough for me, but that I am not good enough for Xiaoxiao."

A bitter smile appeared on his face, "Xiaoxiao is right, you are a free-flying eagle, you should not be confined to the harem, trapping your body, nor your heart."

Gu Zhanyue raised his hand to caress Jiang Xi's cheek, he whimpered cautiously, "I was the one who was abrupt, I shouldn't..."

Seeing this, Jiang Xi reached out and hugged Gu Zhanyue's waist, "Ziyu, don't be sad, I'm not alone in the world, and don't hang on my crooked neck tree, you will deserve better in the future."

Gu Zhanyue stretched out his hand to hug Jiang Xi slightly, and reached out to pat him on the back.

After adjusting his mood, Gu Zhanyue smiled at Jiang Xi, "Xiaoxiao, go back quickly."

After Jiang Xi and Gu Zhanyue parted, they walked towards the small gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just as they stepped into Jianjia Residence, they saw a familiar figure sitting in her room.

"My lord really likes breaking into girls' rooms." Jiang Xi looked at Gu Jinzhou and said teasingly, "Is my lord addicted?"

"Jiang San, do you have a sweetheart?"

Gu Jinzhou's endless words made Jiang Xi look puzzled, she looked at Gu Jinzhou and smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, didn't I say before that even if all the men in the world are dead, I will do it." Auntie, I won’t marry you either!”

"Then will you marry Shen Yanzhi?"

Jiang Xi looked up at Gu Jinzhou, and although she didn't understand why he said those words, she shook her head at him, "No. Brother Yanzhi is very good, but I am not good enough for him."

"Why can't you be worthy of that sick man? According to this king, it is obvious that he is not worthy of you."

Gu Jinzhou didn't know where he got so angry, but when he heard Jiang Xi's comment, he couldn't help but refute.

Seeing Gu Jinzhou's angry appearance, Jiang Xi walked up to him a few steps and straightened his face with his hands.

Facing his eyes, Jiang Xi whispered, "Gu Jinzhou, people like me don't deserve love. People like me are doomed to perish in hell. I can't drag brother Yanzhi with me."

Jiang Xi's eyes were red for some reason, "I can't let Brother Yanzhi make the same mistakes again, I can't let Brother Yanzhi go on the same path as before;
Brother Yan Zhi is very good, he is the "Sai Hua Tuo" in the mouth of the people, and he is an excellent traveling doctor;
How can a person like me who is rotten and broken from the bottom of my heart be worthy of the beautiful and gentle brother Yan Zhiyue. "

Gu Jinzhou looked at the tears on Jiang Xi's face, raised his hand to wipe away the tears for her, and said urgently, "It's not like this, it's not like this."

He gently took Jiang Xi into his arms, "You are excellent, it doesn't matter if you are not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it doesn't matter if you are not good at needlework, you just need to do what you are good at."

"You haven't broken or rotted in your heart. You are Ling Han's plum blossom alone, you are the red plum blossom in the snow, you are the unique beauty in this world, and you are irreplaceable."

Gu Jinzhou held her in his arms, and could clearly feel the sound of her heart beating, as well as the tears of her clothes being wet.

Gu Jinzhou hugged Jiang Xi tightly in his arms, and told himself that he liked her, liked her very much.

Even if it is sinking into hell, he will sink into hell with her, and he will never let her wander in the abyss alone.

At this point, Gu Jinzhou understood what he wanted.

However, there is still a long way to go.
