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

Jiang didn't have any big objections to Gu Zhiqing, but she was dissatisfied that Gu Zhiqing had been booked by Zuo Yian before, and now it was the eldest princess who said it under such circumstances, which made her feel forced feel.

"Eldest princess, it stands to reason that the child Zhiqing is really destined to be with our girl Ning." Mrs. Jiang poured a cup of tea for the eldest princess, "But things just happen to be so intertwined. Our girl Ning has already been with us. The Jiang family has arranged the marriage."

"I already inquired about this matter before I came here. Xiang Ning and the child from the Jiang family only talked about it verbally, but in fact, haven't the three books and six appointments still not taken a step forward?" The eldest princess He said with a cautious smile in his tone: "How about we ask the children for their opinions on life-long events? After all, they have to live their whole lives."

When Mrs. Jiang came back from seeing the eldest princess off, she saw Zuo Xiangning sitting on a chair with deep thoughts.

"Did you hear what the eldest princess said just now?" Jiang asked Zuo Xiangning hesitantly, "You don't have to think about anything, just follow your own heart. Who do you think is better?"

"Mom, I treat my third cousin as my own brother. As for Gu Zhiqing, I had no feelings for him at all before." Zuo Xiangning simply said what was in her heart.

"You mean you're not attracted to either of them?" Jiang said quite unexpectedly: "Then it's possible that you're attracted to someone else?"

Zuo Xiangning thought of Ling Xiao.

Since he left last time, there has been no news at all, and there is no news about Zhongyuan Hou Mansion from the outside.

"Mom, my daughter has just grown up, and the marriages of my brothers and sisters at home haven't been arranged yet. Why should I be anxious?" Zuo Xiangning said coquettishly: "Besides, I still want to stay at home with you for a few more years. .”

"I don't need you to accompany me." Jiang said with a smile: "Your eldest brother and third brother have returned with wives, how can I still need someone to accompany me?"

"They are daughters-in-law, can they be treated like daughters?" Zuo Xiangning shook Jiang's arm coquettishly.

"Yes, you are right." Jiang smiled and touched Zuo Xiangning's hair.

"Then Princess, how do you want to reply?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly.

"Now it's the eldest princess who goes back on her word first. She's in the wrong, so I can't agree to it, which is understandable." Jiang said: "As for the marriage, it's the same as before, using your brother and sister's marriage as a shield."

"Thank you, mother." Zuo Xiangning hugged Jiang and thanked her happily.

Zuo Xiangning's face darkened when she returned to Xianglanzhai. It was definitely Gu Zhiqing's intention for the eldest princess to propose marriage.

What does he want to do?

Can't you just stay away from yourself?
Li Shaonan jumped over the wall again.

"Where are those two powerful people in your courtyard?" Li Shaonan asked strangely, "But I haven't seen them for several days."

"Are you okay?" Zuo Xiangning took a bite of the apple angrily.

"What's wrong? Are you angry?" Li Shaonan asked, "Because the canonization was cancelled?"

Zuo Xiangning bit her apple and ignored him.

"Then what's the point of being the princess? How much salary can you get in a year? I'll give it to you." Li Shaonan smiled and said, "I'll double it for you."

"No need." Zuo Xiangning rolled her eyes at him.

"Then what else do you have to be angry about?" Li Shaonan said, "I'll take you out to play in the clouds tomorrow? Do you want to go?"

Zuo Xiangning sat there, still thinking about how Gu Zhiqing became the son of the eldest princess?
The more she thought about it, the less likely it seemed.

"Is Gu Zhiqing really the eldest princess's son? How did the eldest princess recognize him?"

"I really don't know the specific things, but His Royal Highness King Chu should know better." Li Shaonan said: "Didn't you ask your sister?"

"You should leave quickly." Zuo Xiangning ate an apple in a few bites in frustration.

"I'm here to bring you delicious food." Li Shaonan put a paper bag on the table, "I bought you delicious food that day, but I met two friends on the way and drank too much."

Zuo Xiangning opened the paper bag and saw a roast chicken inside. "I let them bake for a little longer. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They don't squeak when you eat them." Li Shaonan stood up and said, "I think it's good that you are not the princess, and I don't have to scratch them."

"Whatever I take has nothing to do with you." Zuo Xiangning picked off a piece of chicken with her fingers and put it in her mouth.

"Let me tell you, if that Gu Zhiqing dares to harass you, you must tell me." Before Li Shaonan left, he told her, "I will deal with him."

Zuo Xiangning looked at him without moving, and after a long time she said: "Li Shaonan, it's really impossible for me to be with you."

"What you said doesn't count." Li Shaonan ran away as if he was afraid that Zuo Xiangning would say anything else.

Zuo Xiangning stayed at home for two days.

She thought Ling Xiao would come to find her.

She didn't believe that this time her canonization was cancelled, and Gu Zhiqing recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan. How could anyone in the capital not know about these two big things?

But Ling Xiao didn't come.

Two days later, Jiang received a message from the eldest princess, inviting her mother and daughter to the princess's residence.

Zuo Xiangning didn't want to go. .

"We have to go. We have to dress up and go beautifully." Jiang said: "If we don't go, others will have to blame us for doing something wrong."

Zuo Xiangning could imagine that they would definitely meet Gu Zhiqing.

She really didn't want to see his face.

Zuo Xiangning went to Prince Chu's Mansion.

Zuo Xiangrong saw her coming and pulled her into the room.

"Why did you come here? If you don't come, I will ask someone to invite you." Zuo Xiangrong looked at her face and saw that her eyes were blue, and said with distress: "You have suffered in the past two days."

"I'm fine." Zuo Xiangning smiled comfortingly at her: "But does eldest sister know how Gu Zhiqing became the son of the eldest princess?"

"There is a crescent-shaped birthmark under the left shoulder of the eldest princess's son. His Royal Highness the King of Chu accidentally saw that Gu Zhiqing had it. He asked people to check the situation of the Gu family and found that when the Gu family bought Gu Zhiqing, it happened to be the same as the princess's missing child. It took two days to determine his identity," Zuo Xiangrong said.

"It's such a coincidence?" Zuo Xiangning still didn't want to believe it.

"The eldest princess came to my place yesterday, saying she wanted to see Brother Hong, but in fact, she came to me to apologize tactfully." Zuo Xiangrong said calmly: "The eldest princess also mentioned it to me. Gu Zhiqing wanted to marry our family, but I didn’t agree."

"Thank you, sister." Zuo Xiangning smiled and thanked her.

"You don't like Gu Zhiqing?" Zuo Xiangrong asked in surprise: "Why? The fact that Gu Zhiqing still misses you after recognizing the eldest princess shows that he has true feelings for you."

"I'm self-aware, and I don't think there's anything worthy of his liking." Zuo Xiangning pouted her lips.

Zuo Xiangrong looked at Zuo Xiangning's delicate face and said with a complicated expression: "Are you really not thinking about Gu Zhiqing anymore?"

Zuo Xiangning shook her head firmly, "I won't consider it!"

"Actually, with Gu Zhiqing's current status, I think it's good to match you," Zuo Xiangrong lightly pursed her lower lip and said, "But His Highness the King of Chu specifically told me not to agree! He said that Gu Zhiqing is not worthy of you. , he will find you a better one. But after I thought about it carefully, I am afraid that there are few people in the entire capital who are more noble than Gu Zhiqing."

Zuo Xiangning met Zuo Xiangrong's dark eyes, and her heart tightened.

What did King Chu say to her sister?
