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

When Zuo Xiangning saw Ling Xiao again, she mentioned to him that the eldest princess invited her to the eldest princess' mansion.

"Tell me, why does the eldest princess care so much about that jade pendant?" Zuo Xiangning asked strangely: "I heard that the eldest princess is the most favored princess. The first emperor and the first empress should have left her many things. yes."

Ling Xiao shook his head, "I also asked some people, and they didn't hear anything about jade pendants."

"If the eldest princess asks about the jade pendant again, I will tell her that I broke it." Zuo Xiangning said, "so that she won't always think about it."

"What you say will only make her unhappy and make her feel dissatisfied. You can't do this. The eldest princess has a noble status, and even the queen must be courteous in front of her." Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said: "But that jade pendant It is a token of Wufutang, and it must not fall into her hands. I will bring the jade pendant back to you tomorrow. If she asks again, you can still say the same thing as before. If she wants to see it, show it to her, but not give it to her. She, she can't either."

"Is your Wufu Hall very powerful? The eldest princess is not here for Wufu Hall, right?" Zuo Xiangning said worriedly: "You'd better give me a fake one, I'm afraid she will really snatch the jade pendant away. Then she would do something detrimental to Wufutang. Or if she kept looking around and then secretly copied a few, that would be more trouble.

"Do you think Wufutang only recognizes the jade pendant and not the people?" Ling Xiao scratched her nose and said with a smile: "I told you before that you can take over Wufutang with the jade pendant. That was what I explained to the other people in Wufutang. After this matter, it will be useless for others to take the jade pendant without my consent."

"Oh." Zuo Xiangning smiled and nodded, "That's good, otherwise I would be a little unsure about taking this jade pendant."

Ling Xiao hugged Zuo Xiangning and chuckled, but his eyes were heavy.

He asked people to go to the Yin family to inquire about the origin of the jade pendant, but the person who went there said that no one had given the jade pendant as a gift at all, so where did this jade pendant come from?

Two days later, Zuo Xiangning sent Zuo Zimo away.

Watching Zuo Zimo walk more than a hundred meters and turning back to wave to her, Zuo Xiang burst into tears.

Her third brother was different from her eldest brother. Her third brother had never left home since he was a child. Zuo Xiangning was really worried when he suddenly went to such a far place by himself.

But her third brother is a man and cannot always be tied to the courtyard of the Zuo family. Sooner or later, he will have to go out alone.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it is the only path he must take in life, and others should not forcefully block it.

"Stop crying, your eyes are swollen from crying."

A familiar voice came from beside Zuo Xiangning, and then a white handkerchief was handed to her.

Zuo Xiangning turned to look at the tall man beside her, took the handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

"My brother-in-law is leaving Beijing, can I not see him off?" the man said seriously, holding his hands behind his back.

Zuo Xiangning glared at him and said angrily: "Another nonsense."

"What's wrong with what I said?" Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Although my brother-in-law didn't send him off openly, I secretly sent someone to escort him to his appointment. Isn't this very particular?"

"Did you really send someone?" Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows.

"I saw that you sent ten guards to your home, so I sent ten more to follow him secretly. When the time comes, six people will be left there to protect him secretly." Ling Xiao raised his hand and touched it. Pulling down her hair, "I know you are worried about his safety."

"Thank you." Zuo Xiangning was really worried about Zuo Zimo's safety.

Although many things in the past life and this life have changed, the general direction of everyone has not changed.

Just like her elder brother, although he was not dead, the assassination did happen.

And Mrs. Jiang, although she is not half-dead and bedridden, she has indeed been poisoned.

Zuo Zimo suffered a lot of sins in his previous life, but he was too peaceful in this life, which made Zuo Xiangning feel a little uneasy. "Let's go." Ling Xiao looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he helped Zuo Xiangning get into the car, and he followed suit.

He took out a food box and put it on the small table, "I bought this new thing this morning. You can try it."

Zuo Xiangning opened it and saw that inside was a bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall.

"I'm planning to find a cook these days." Ling Xiao said, "What kind of food do you like? I'll ask someone to find a cook who suits your taste."

Zuo Xiangning held the spoon and said uninterestedly: "I don't choose."

"Then let's find a few more cooks and cook different dishes every day." Ling Xiao knew that she was in a bad mood, so he teased her and said, "How about ten of them? One rotation every ten days, or one person can cook two dishes a day. Whoever cooks delicious food will be rewarded, and whoever cooks unpalatable food will get a slap in the face."

"You want people to impeach you, right?" Zuo Xiangning laughed out loud, "Where is your new house? I have time tomorrow."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Ling Xiao said, "I'll wait for you at the intersection of your house."

"Do you need to prepare any housewarming gifts?" Zuo Xiangning teased.

"Do you think anyone gets gifts when they go home?" Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Besides, you are the best gift."

"Glib tongue..." As soon as Zuo Xiangning finished her voice, Bingyu's muffled voice came from outside, "Girl, Gu Zhiqing is here!"

The smile on Zuo Xiangning's face immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Is it Zuofu's carriage? Is the Fourth Zuo girl in the carriage?" Gu Zhiqing's voice sounded outside the carriage.

As soon as Zuo Xiangning turned her head towards the direction of the sound, the car curtains were lifted from the outside.

Ling Xiao's jaw tightened, and his raised hand clenched into a fist. Just as he was about to hit the car window, Zuo Xiangning hurriedly held his hand.

She used her other hand to lift a crack in the curtain and looked outside at Gu Zhiqing, who was bending over to look in.

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Gu?" Zuo Xiangning asked coldly.

"Where's Zimo? Have you left?" Gu Zhiqing asked concernedly from outside: "Why didn't you wait for me for a while? I told him yesterday that I would come to see him off."

"He left a long time ago." Zuo Xiangning disliked his coy attitude the most, "Why is Mr. Gu rushing to chase my third brother now? It shouldn't take half an hour to catch up."

Gu Zhiqing was stunned by Zuo Xiangning's words.

He was just being polite, but Zuo Xiangning took it seriously.

"The emperor summoned me to the palace today. I hurriedly rushed but couldn't catch up. It's such a pity," Gu Zhiqing said, "When Brother Zimo comes back to Beijing again, I will definitely apologize to him."

"Since Mr. Gu is so busy, then hurry up and get busy." Zuo Xiangning lowered the curtains as she spoke, "Don't delay Mr. Gu from doing errands for the emperor."

"Zuo Xiangning, what are you dissatisfied with me about?" Gu Zhiqing, who was outside, had already reached out to the car curtain, but the moment his hand touched the curtain, it still stopped outside.

He said through the curtain: "If you are dissatisfied with anything, tell me directly. If there is something I did wrong, I will definitely change it... Don't always be sulky alone, it is not good for you. I am thinking here every day." , I can’t sleep at night, but I still can’t figure out what I did wrong? We are about to get married. If you have any questions, just tell me frankly..."

Zuo Xiangning held Ling Xiao's hand tightly and interrupted Gu Zhiqing, who was talking to himself outside the window, "Who do you think wants to get married?"
