Gu Qingyuan smiled and said nothing.

She didn't know if Chuntao's child could be saved. If she was lucky, she could probably save it, but if she was unlucky...

"Okay, have a good rest tonight. There will be a banquet at the house tomorrow. Don't let outsiders laugh." After Gu Qingyuan finished speaking, he went back to the house to rest.

There was no words for the whole night. Early the next morning, after Gu Qingyuan washed up, he saw Li Shichen.

The moment she saw him, undisguised disgust flashed in her eyes.

Their eyes met, Gu Qingyuan said: "What are you doing here?"

"I...I'm here to see if there is anything I can help with." Li Shichen said, walking up to Gu Qingyuan: "After all, this is my father's wedding banquet. As a son, I always have to do something."

"Oh." Gu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "I don't think the prince is quite filial."

"No, it's just a little effort." Li Shichen was in a good mood. He didn't expect that Gu Qingyuan actually thought that he was a filial person.

"Since the Crown Prince is so interested, then Sui Han!" Gu Qingyuan said, calling Sui Han over, and then ordered: "The Crown Prince said he wants to do something, take him over and see if there is anyone he can help with. .”

Sui Han nodded, and then said politely: "Your Majesty, please come this way."

Seeing this, Li Shichen frowned subconsciously: "What does this mean? Madam, do you want me to do manual labor?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Qingyuan folded her hands on her chest and looked at Li Shichen expressionlessly: "Didn't you say you would help? Nowadays, people are being sent to the place for manual work. What? Isn't the prince willing to do manual work?"

When Li Shichen heard this, his expression suddenly froze.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "No, I am willing."

After saying these words, Li Shichen followed Sui Han and left.

Wu Yue saw this and frowned: "Madam, is the prince really willing to do it?"

"That's his business and has nothing to do with us." After Gu Qingyuan said that, she went to the kitchen. The guests at the banquet today were all distinguished guests, so she had to pay close attention to the dishes she was ordering.

After returning from the kitchen, Gu Qingyuan saw Jiaorui coming towards her.

Just when Gu Qingyuan thought it was quite a coincidence, Jiaorui said: "Madam, you really make it easy to find slaves!"

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he smiled helplessly. It was indeed not a coincidence!

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyuan asked.

Jiaorui trotted up to Gu Qingyuan and whispered: "Madam, Chuntao is pregnant. Is it true or not?"

"Really." Gu Qingyuan looked at Jiaorui: "Is this why you came here?"

Jiaorui nodded and said very unconvinced: "I just can't understand how she could be pregnant when she came in later than me and my stomach didn't even move."

"Maybe she's just luckier." Gu Qingyuan said.

"Tsk, you are such a bad person and you have such good luck. God is really not open to you." Jiaorui frowned and sounded quite disdainful.

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Is it possible that being pregnant with the prince's child is not a lucky thing?

"Don't be unhappy, there's no telling whether this thing is bad or good." Gu Qingyuan said.

Jiaorui blinked. Although she didn't know what Madam meant by her words, since Madam said it was possible, it must be possible.

"By the way, madam, do you need your help? I heard from Mrs. Wang that you have wasted a lot of energy on organizing this birthday party," Jiaorui said.

Gu Qingyuan shook her head: "No need, I've already done everything that needs to be done." "That's great." Jiaorui took Gu Qingyuan and talked for a while, then went back to prepare.

The reception banquet started in the afternoon, and everything was being arranged in the house in the morning.

After lunch, the guests came one after another.

Gu Qingyuan and Li Shichen stood at the door, entertaining the guests who came here.

Although Li Shichen was resentful because of the physical work he did, when he saw Gu Qingyuan who had handled everything in an orderly manner, most of his resentment disappeared immediately.

His father once said that Gu Qingyuan was a capable person. He didn't take it seriously before, but now it seems that Gu Qingyuan is really quite capable. Such a big Jingfeng Banquet was actually organized in such an orderly manner.

"Mrs. Prince, long time no see."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

The moment Li Shichen heard the voice, his expression changed instantly.

Gu Qingyuan looked at Pei Qingci, she was a little surprised. After all, with Pei Qingci's current status, there was no need to give face to the Duke.

"I've met the Prime Minister." Gu Qingyuan said and saluted Pei Qingci.

Li Shichen stood motionless on the side, not that he looked down on Pei Qingci, but simply because the man greeted his wife immediately after seeing them.

Pei Qingci's eyes fell on Li Shichen and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the prince? Is it possible that he doesn't welcome the truth?"

"No." Li Shichen, who had regained consciousness, twitched his lips slightly and said very reluctantly: "It is an honor for the Prime Minister to come to our Duke's mansion."

"Don't be so polite. Madam has already sent an invitation. If I didn't come, I wouldn't be disrespectful." After saying that, Pei Qingci looked at Gu Qingyuan and said with a half-smile, "Isn't that right, madam?"

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. What on earth did this man want to do when he came here and said these vague words?
Seeing the expression on Gu Qingyuan's face gradually cracking, Pei Qingci immediately smiled and said: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go in first."

After saying that, Pei Qingci stepped in.

After Pei Qingci walked away, Li Shichen said, "Madam seems to be very familiar with the Prime Minister."

Gu Qingyuan glanced at Li Shichen, raised an eyebrow and said, "The prince is joking. Don't you and your mother-in-law know very well whether we are familiar with each other?"

In one sentence, Gu Qingyuan shut up Li Shichen.

But even though his mouth was closed, Li Shichen felt particularly uncomfortable.

Gu Qingyuan naturally noticed it, but she didn't want to pay attention to it.

After welcoming all the guests in, Gu Qingyuan went to the back hall to receive the family members of these guests.

Sui Han, who was following her, glanced at Li Shichen, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Madam, the prince is not in a good mood, should we really ignore him?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Qingyuan raised an eyebrow: "Do I still have to take care of his emotions?"

Sui Han nodded: "That's true, but what's going on with Xiangguo? What he said is easy for people to misunderstand!"

Gu Qingyuan shook her head. She also wanted to know what Pei Qingci's purpose was.

At this time, Sui Han suddenly clapped his hands and said seriously: "I understand! Could it be that Mr. Xiangguo likes you?"

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, he paused and said helplessly: "You are overthinking."
