The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 107 Change of Mind

When Zuo Xiangning left the Prince Chu's Mansion, it was already dark.

The carriage was swaying on the road, drowsily.

The coachman suddenly shouted "Xiu" outside, and then Gu Zhiqing's voice sounded outside, "Xiang Ning."

Zuo Xiangning opened her eyes, opened the curtain, and saw Gu Zhiqing, who was wearing a Buddhist-green plain Hangzhou silk cloak. He raised his head slightly and looked at her with a smile: "I heard from the King of Chu that you went to the King of Chu's Mansion today. , just thinking that you must take this road when you go home."

Zuo Xiangning's eyes swept over his cold and red cheeks.

"What do you want from me?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"I have two ginseng roots and the best angelica." Gu Zhiqing handed the box to Zuo Xiangning.

"King Chu and Princess Chu gave me a lot of rewards. It's better for Mr. Gu to keep them for himself." Zuo Xiangning did not accept the reward.

"I found this specially for you." Gu Zhiqing looked at his red palms and said somewhat pitifully: "I have been waiting for you for more than two hours, and my feet are almost frozen."

Zuo Xiang thought to herself: It would be better if you freeze to death.

But it can't be revealed on the face.

She saw that the passers-by had noticed them, so she reached out to take the box and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu. It's freezing cold. Mr. Gu, please come back."

"You should go home quickly. It's been very cold these days and the roads are icy. You should go out less often." After Gu Zhiqing finished speaking, he stepped aside and waved to her affectionately.

Zuo Xiangning glanced at him and lowered the car curtain.

Gu Zhiqing waited for the carriage to go away, then he lowered his face and said to the boy next to him: "Prince Zhongyuan is not in the capital?"

"Yes." The boy replied: "At dawn this morning, I took two people out of the capital."

"Check where he is going and what he is doing." Gu Zhiqing took the hand stove from the boy's hand and turned around to get on the carriage not far away, "Liu Hanlin's concubine at the east city gate because the old lady did not agree to straighten her up. It’s time for people to know that she drugged the old lady.”

"Yes." The boy agreed and sat next to the coachman, "Let's go."

Zuo Xiangning returned home and went to Fanghua Courtyard first. When she got to the door, she saw Zixia and several women and girls standing in the lee of the door of the courtyard.

"Why are you standing here in such a cold weather?" Zuo Xiangning asked with a smile.

Zixia walked to Zuo Xiangning and whispered: "The master and his wife...are talking..."

Zuo Xiangning looked at the main room in confusion.

Mother Cai stood under the eaves wearing thin clothes.

"Get some thick clothes for Mama Cai," Zuo Xiangning said.

Zixia gave Zuo Xiangning the clothes she had prepared long ago and said, "The master is angry and won't let us get close."

Zuo Xiangning nodded, took the things she brought back from Prince Chu's Mansion, and walked to the main room.

Mother Cai hurriedly made a "shh" gesture to Zuo Xiangning.

Zuo Xiangning nodded lightly, put the cloak on her, and pointed to the ear room next to her.

Mother Cai shook her head slightly and pointed to the main room.

"I'm telling you, based on the reputation of our fourth girl, the Gu family has already done their best by not breaking off the engagement. Don't push yourself too far! You don't know how high the sky is!" Zuo Yian said angrily. "What do you mean by the Gu family? Are you going to ask me to kowtow to them with gratitude? If the Gu family is not satisfied, just say it directly, there is no need to show off!" Jiang sneered: "He is not willing to marry, and I am not willing to marry yet! "

"Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. Don't you just want the fourth girl to marry your nephew? He doesn't even have any fame, so he wants to marry my daughter? That's a dream!" Zuo Yi'an said.

"Zuo Yi'an, don't be such a mouthful!" Jiang said angrily: "Xiang Ning is no different from my own daughter! I only hope she can be happy. In my opinion, the Gu family is not a good person at all if they can say such things. match!"

"What do you mean?" Zuo Yian asked suspiciously: "You are not dreaming about marrying the fourth girl to Ling Xiao, are you? Who is Ling Xiao? That is the prince of Zhongyuan Hou! He will marry you A little girl born from a concubine? Stop dreaming about your childhood dreams there!"

The more Zuo Yi'an talked, the more excited he became, "You didn't tell Fourth Girl the same thing, right? Otherwise, how could Fourth Girl dare to flirt with him?"

Zuo Xiangning listened outside and didn't know whether she was angry or funny.

I do like Ling Xiao, but have I ever flirted with him?
"Zuo Yi'an, Ning'er is your daughter. Is there any father who would say that about his own daughter?" Jiang in the room was so angry that his liver ached, "I really can't live with someone as cruel as you. Got it!"

"What do you mean? You want to mention Heli again?" Zuo Yi'an became angry all of a sudden. Zuo Xiangning could feel it through the door. Her father must have been furious at this time, "Did you see him alone?" Are you excited again when you come to Beijing alone? You should have a little face! What are you like now? You still think you are a yellow flower..."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Following Jiang's roar, the sound of breaking porcelain was heard in the room.

Mother Cai trembled, looked at Zuo Xiangning nervously, and then shouted: "The fourth girl is here!"

The room was dead quiet.

Zuo Xiangning was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran down the steps quietly, smiling and replying crisply: "Mother Cai, where is my mother? My eldest sister asked me to bring a lot of things to my mother."

When Cai's mother saw Zuo Xiangning running out, she thought Zuo Xiangning was scared and was about to run out, so she almost didn't call her to stop her.

Now that she heard Zuo Xiangning speak, she came to her senses and said with a smile, "Madam and Master are talking in the room."

"Father is here too." Zuo Xiangning stood at the bottom of the steps and said worriedly, "I don't know if father and mother have finished talking."

"Ning'er is back?" Jiang's voice sounded in the room, "It's cold outside, come in quickly."

Mother Cai hurriedly stepped forward to support Zuo Xiangning, and said in a moderate voice: "Oh, why are the girl's hands so cold? Zixia, go and get a hand stove for the girl."

Zixia and the others who were standing at the entrance of the courtyard started to move around, and the courtyard became full of vitality again.

Zuo Xiangning entered the room, as if she didn't know anything, and greeted her father with a smile.

Zuo Yi'an's cunning eyes glanced around Zuo Xiangning's face. He was surprised to find that his little daughter had become so beautiful out of nowhere.

Jiang looked at Zuo Yian secretly, wanting to see if he would continue to speak like he just did.

If she really dares to say it, she really dares to make peace with him!
But Zuo Yian was comparing Gu Zhiqing and Ling Xiao in his heart.

Although Gu Zhiqing is good, the foundation of the Gu family is too shallow, and he does not have much say in front of the meritorious family.

But Ling Xiao is different.

He is the son of Zhongyuan Hou. Not to mention a distinguished family, he can still speak eloquently in front of the feudal officials and noble princes.

What's more, the palace also houses an old aunt from the Zhongyuan Hou family. She is the aunt of the current emperor. She has always been raised in the palace by the emperor. She treats this prince as his own grandson...

Zuo Yian's thoughts suddenly changed at this moment.
