"You go back and tell your mother that it's the intention of King Chu and I to delay your marriage," Zuo Xiangrong said.

"Mother means the same thing." Zuo Xiangning stayed a little restless for a while, then left the Chu Palace.

She didn't expect that things would become more and more complicated.

She didn't know if the words King Chu and her sister said had any special meaning.

She didn't even know whether it would be a good or bad thing if her marriage continued to be delayed like this.

If that didn't work, she would find a way to go to the border with her eldest brother when he returned to Beijing.

It's nice to be free there.

When the carriage was about to reach Zuofu's street, she saw Gu Zhiqing waiting on the roadside.

How did Gu Zhiqing know her whereabouts?
"Miss Zuo, I want to say a few words to you." Gu Zhiqing stood outside the car and said loudly.

Zuo Xiangning opened the sedan curtain and looked at the energetic Gu Zhiqing: "What do you want to say, Mr. Gu?"

"Miss Zuo Si, when we broke off the engagement before, it was really because I didn't want to implicate Zuo Si, so I did it in desperation. Now that I have a new identity, I think I have the ability to bring happiness to Miss Zuo, and I hope you can give me happiness again." Give me a chance." Gu Zhiqing said sincerely: "Let me prove that I can make you happy."

"Thank you for your kindness. I don't need your proof." Zuo Xiangning glanced at the pedestrians around her and whispered: "I have no chance to meet you, sir. Let's say goodbye."

"Miss Zuo, what exactly makes you dissatisfied with me?" Gu Zhiqing stretched out his hand to hold the carriage window.

Zuo Xiangning was startled. Looking into Gu Zhiqing's angry eyes, she seemed to see the crazy man in her previous life again.

She stepped back with a pale face and looked at him with a frown, "In broad daylight, do you still want to force me?"

Gu Zhiqing looked at her deeply for a while, then smiled and said, "I will ask the emperor to grant you and me a marriage."

Zuo Xiangning looked at the sedan curtain he had put down with horror.

She forcefully opened the sedan curtain, and there was no longer any shadow of Gu Zhiqing outside.

She turned the carriage around and returned to Prince Chu's Mansion.

Zuo Xiangrong looked at Zuo Xiangning who left and came back, slightly surprised.

"Sister, what will happen if Gu Zhiqing asks the emperor for marriage?" Zuo Xiangning asked worriedly.

Zuo Xiangrong thought for a moment and said: "Didn't His Highness the Fifth Prince ask for help from the Emperor before? He has already been blocked by his father, and the Emperor should not agree again."

Although Zuo Xiangrong said this, Zuo Xiangning was still very uneasy. After returning home, she couldn't eat or sleep well for several days, and saw her face getting thinner.

On the day she went to the princess's mansion, Zuo Xiangning put on quite thick makeup on her face, which made her face look better.

When the eldest princess saw Zuo Xiangning, she held her hand tightly, stared at her face, and said meaningfully: "Are you worried about something lately? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" "

"I've been embroidering the bellyband for the little emperor's grandson these past few days, and I stayed up late at night." Zuo Xiangning said shyly.

"This child is disobedient. I told her not to hurry up and get dressed. She is always up early and late at night." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile next to her.

"Last time I saw the forehead wiper your mother was wearing, and I said it was embroidered by you. The color and pattern were very beautiful. Can you also take the time to embroider one for me?" the eldest princess said with a smile.

"Okay." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "When I finish embroidering the little emperor's grandson's things, I will embroider them for you." "Good boy." The eldest princess said to the eldest girl beside her: "You take Miss Zuo there Take a look at the flower room in the side courtyard. The phalaenopsis there is in full bloom. Let Miss Zuo pick out two pots."

Zuo Xiangning agreed with a smile. When she arrived at the flower room, she stood next to the Phalaenopsis and saw Gu Zhiqing walking from the other side.

Zuo Xiangning had already guessed that she would meet him.

I just don’t know if he has changed his surname now, or if he is still called Gu Zhiqing.

"Miss Zuo, I have always wanted to say something to you in private." Gu Zhiqing glanced at the girl next to Zuo Xiangning.

The girl immediately quietly retreated not far away.

Zuo Xiangning stood there, looking at the gentle and elegant man in front of her.

"I really like Miss Zuo, but I don't know if Miss Zuo has any prejudice against me?" Gu Zhiqing asked softly: "I hope Miss Zuo can give me a chance to explain."

"I have no prejudice against you, I just don't like you." Zuo Xiangning told him bluntly, "Master Gu is an upright and honorable man at first glance, so I will make it clear to you in person today, and I hope that from now on , it’s best for us not to have any more intersections, so as not to fall behind the truth.”

Gu Zhiqing's face changed slightly, and he smiled again: "I just like Miss Zuo's frankness and honesty."

Zuo Xiangning resisted showing any expression on her face, just smiled lightly and said, "Master Gu will definitely find a better girl in the future."

"Is there something I didn't do well?" Gu Zhiqing asked unwillingly, "I can change it."

"What matters between people is fate. I have no affinity for you, and it has nothing to do with anything else." Zuo Xiangning bowed to him, "The main reason I came to the Princess Mansion today is to make things clear to you. , I hope that although you and I may not necessarily become friends, at least we will not become enemies."

"Girl, you are overthinking. I will never treat you as an enemy." Gu Zhiqing said firmly, "Fate is really important between people. Some things are destined to be good and no one can change it."

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows, wondering what he meant by this.

"My mother really likes you. If you have time in the future, come and see her often." Gu Zhiqing continued: "I have a very good relationship with His Highness the King of Chu. The two of us complement each other. No matter what happens, I Everyone will stand by His Highness King Chu."

Zuo Xiangning listened to his words carefully and understood what he meant.

Is he planning to use the eldest princess and Prince Chu to suppress her?
Gu Zhiqing looked at the woman standing there with no reaction at all, and secretly doubted in his heart. Could it be that she didn't understand what he meant?

"Although King Qi was demoted from the capital, the emperor still loves the third and fourth princes very much. I heard that the emperor has issued an order to announce that the third and fourth princes will return to the capital from their fiefdoms..." Gu Zhiqing wanted to tell Zuo Xiangning Analyze the situation in the capital and let her know that King Chu is not the emperor's only choice now.

But Zuo Xiangning didn't want to hear this at all.

"I am a boudoir girl who only cares about embroidery and playing the piano. I am not interested in the affairs of the princes at all. Telling me this matter is the same as playing the piano to a cow." Zuo Xiangning interrupted him and turned to face the people not far away. The eldest girl said: "Please give me this pink Phalaenopsis."

Zuo Xiangning turned around and left the flower room, leaving Gu Zhiqing alone to stand among the flowers.

She could understand, but she deliberately pretended not to understand!

Gu Zhiqing looked at the graceful back of the woman and narrowed his eyes slightly.

How dare this woman ignore him?

Sooner or later, he would have to make her lie in front of him and beg him!
