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

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Mrs. Jiang asked someone to serve Zuo Zixi and Zuo Xiangning a bowl of white fungus porridge.

"Father's illness is serious and difficult to cure." Zuo Zixi said with a solemn expression: "I have asked Shiqi to move to the outer courtyard, and asked the housekeeper to arrange new waiters for my father. Please knock on the second door later. , it’s best to keep cousin Shiqi from coming to the inner house.”

"I understand." Ms. Jiang nodded, "When will you leave Beijing? Have you made an appointment?"

"The Emperor has agreed that my sister and I will leave the capital together." Zuo Zixi said, "About half a month from now."

Jiang looked at Zuo Zixi, then at Zuo Xiangning, sighed, and said: "If you all need to prepare anything, just write a list to the housekeeper and ask him to buy it, especially medicinal materials, bring more. "

"Don't worry, mother, I have everything ready." Zuo Zixi said.

Jiang said to Zuo Xiangning again: "Those of your people have also been arranged. Which ones are left at home, which ones live in other courtyards, which ones are taken away, and the things that are not taken away are all put into boxes. …”

"Mom, the fourth sister is back." Zuo Zixi said with a smile.

Jiang said: "I'm afraid that if she's not at home, others will touch her things."

"Mother is right, I will leave all valuable things with mother tomorrow." Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled.

"Leave it here with me to ensure that you only have more and not less." Jiang smiled and asked the two of them to go back and rest. "The eldest princess is having a family dinner tomorrow. You have to dress up well and don't let anyone see us. Flat."

When Zuo Xiangning heard that the eldest princess was hosting a family dinner, the first thing that came to her mind was that she was going to see Gu Zhiqing again.

According to common sense, the eldest princess should have made a statement on the day the imperial edict was issued, but the eldest princess did not express her position until now, which is obviously displeased with her.

Zuo Xiangning didn't want to go to the princess's mansion, but as the princess, she was in the name of the eldest princess, so she had to go.

The next day, Zuo Xiangning wore a pomegranate red peony-breasted short jacket with wide sleeves, a red jingtao skirt, and a crimson girdle embroidered with branches and flowers around her waist, which outlined her slender waist. When Jiang saw her beautiful appearance, she nodded repeatedly.

"Today you are the protagonist, so you have to dress up to impress." Mrs. Jiang put a bracelet with millet beads on her wrist.

Zuo Xiangyu wore a green embroidered side-breasted jacket and a ginger-yellow embroidered floor-length skirt. She stood next to Zuo Xiangning. Although she looked like a supporting green leaf, she also stood out.

When they arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, everyone's eyes fell on Zuo Xiangning.

Zuo Xiang Ningluo followed Jiang's side generously, greeting everyone obediently.

The eldest princess took Zuo Xiangning's hand and said kindly: "I was sick two days ago. I only felt strong yesterday, so I hurriedly asked someone to pick you up."

The eldest princess gave Zuo Xiangning a subtle explanation.

"It's really easy to get sick these days when it's hot and cold." Jiang said with a smile: "This elderly person's health is obviously a lot worse. I've been having headaches these days."

"Isn't it?" The eldest princess's eyes swept around Zuo Xiangning's body.

She had grown up in the palace and had long been accustomed to seeing beauties of all kinds, but she had to admit that Zuo Xiangning had a special temperament between innocence and charm, which made people happy and happy just by looking at her. .

When she thought about how her son had not thought about food and tea these past few days, she couldn't help but blame Zuo Xiangning again.

How could her son be so smitten if she hadn't seduced him?

Mrs. Min and Min Yujia came forward to greet them.

Zuo Xiangning took Min Yujia's hand, and Min Yujia's eyes suddenly turned red.

Zuo Xiangning was startled, pulled her aside, and asked nervously in a low voice: "What's wrong with Sister Min?" "I've wanted to see you for a long time, but my mother said, now I'll tell you..." Min Yujia's face was slightly red, "My mother said that our family is discussing marriage with your family, and it is not suitable for me to always run to your house. I have always wanted to ask you, are you really going to get married?"

"The imperial edict has been issued, who dares not to go?" Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "From now on, my mother and my eldest brother will be taken care of by Sister Lao Min."

"How long has it been, and you still have time to amuse yourself?" Min Yujia blushed and said angrily, "Is there any remedy?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of myself." Zuo Xiangning hugged Min Yujia's arm and said softly: "When sister has time, go visit my mother for me and spend time with her. My mother is an excellent person. She also likes you very much, so you don’t need to be too restrained in front of my mother, just like you are in front of Mrs. Min, you will like her."

Min Yujia blushed and nodded, "Don't worry, I will visit you often... Huh? Why are you talking about me again? I'm talking about you, what should you do now?"

"I really don't need you to worry." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "I am the princess now and will be the princess in the future. What do you have to worry about me? And your prince also promised me that he will often take me back to the capital in the future. Look at you.”

"Really?" Min Yujia raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Of course it's true." Zuo Xiangning covered her lips and chuckled.

Seeing that Zuo Xiangning was in a good mood, Min Yujia felt relieved.

At this moment, when she saw her cousin entering the hospital from outside, she whispered to Zuo Xiangning: "I'll go up and say hello first."

"Go ahead." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "I'll take a walk by the pond on the east side. You can find me there later."

The eldest princess invited family members from the capital's meritorious families today. They stared at Zuo Xiangning as if they were performing acrobatics, which made Zuo Xiangning feel very uncomfortable.

"Don't go too far, I'll find you in a moment." Min Yujia saw her mother waving to her and hurriedly ran over.

Zuo Xiangning went to the pool next to her and looked at the koi swimming in the pool. In fact, being a fish was quite miserable.

It took a long time to grow up, but in the end it was either trapped in a pool or lying in someone else's cooking pot.

"Princess, the eldest princess invites you to go to the side courtyard. I want to have a few words with you and me alone." A beautiful little girl saluted Zuo Xiangning and said respectfully.

Zuo Xiangning did not doubt his presence, thinking that the eldest princess, as the nominal stepmother, might want to reward her with something.

But when she entered the side hospital, she realized something was wrong.

Not only did the little girl not go into the courtyard, she also bolted the courtyard door from the outside.

Zuo Xiangning stood in the yard and did not go further into the main room.

The door of the main room was opened, and a beautifully dressed maid came out of the room, stood at the door, smiled and said to Zuo Xiangning: "Princess, the eldest princess, please come in and talk."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lower lip, and even though she had more doubts in her heart, she still walked into the room.

The beautiful maid closed the door tightly outside. Zuo Xiangning glanced at the closed door. When she turned around, she saw the skinny man coming out from behind the screen.

"Do you really want to marry that useless prince in Beijing?" Gu Zhiqing slowly walked towards her and stopped one step away from her, "Now as long as you nod, I can find a way to let you Don’t go and get married!”

"I told you a long time ago that you don't need to worry about my affairs." Zuo Xiangning said with a serious face: "Besides, the emperor has issued an edict, do you want me to resist the edict?"
