Zuo Xiangning sat there quietly, looking at Gu Zhiqing with a surprised expression. She didn't know if her expression was appropriate.

The eldest princess looked at Gu Zhiqing, her face darkened.

"Zhiqing, your sister Xiang Ning doesn't want to marry you, so why do you have to force her?" The eldest princess's face softened and she said, "Mother will choose a good girl who is gentle and virtuous for you."

"Mother, my son really likes Xiang Ning, please let me do it!" Gu Zhiqing knew that he should not disobey the eldest princess now, but his body uncontrollably knelt in front of the eldest princess and said loudly to the eldest princess: "Mother , my son’s wife can only be Xiang Ning!”

Zuo Xiangning was really shocked.

Why does Gu Zhiqing have such a deep obsession with her?

The eldest princess looked at Zuo Xiangning, "Xiang Ning, what do you think?"

"I don't agree." Zuo Xiangning shook her head and said, "Since ancient times, marriage has been the destiny of parents. According to the words of the matchmaker, Mr. Gu is also a humble young man who follows the rules. He should know these truths, so why force it?"

"Zhiqing, I have already made it so clear, do you still insist on doing it?" The eldest princess's face was as dark as water.

"Yes, she will not marry her son!" Gu Zhiqing looked determined.

The eldest princess looked at him silently for a while, then clapped her hand on the table and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will enter the palace tomorrow and I will definitely fulfill your wish."

Zuo Xiangning looked at the eldest princess in shock. Could it be that mother and son were singing a double act in front of her?

The eldest princess looked at Zuo Xiangning again and said: "Xiang Ning, don't worry, I guarantee that after you marry into the eldest princess's house, you will take over the middle child. As long as you can give birth to a legitimate son, you will never take a concubine in the Qing Dynasty." .”

"I agree." Gu Zhiqing said hurriedly.

Zuo Xiangning shook her head, stood up, and said coldly: "Let me say it again, I will not marry Gu Zhiqing! I think the eldest princess is also a woman, and she should not do anything that makes things difficult for others. I came to your mansion today at the invitation of the eldest princess. , I’m here to visit the eldest princess, as for lunch... it’s better to skip it.”

Zuo Xiangning turned around and walked away.

"With her attitude, you want to marry her?" the eldest princess called to Gu Zhiqing, who was about to kick him out.

"I want to marry." Gu Zhiqing didn't know why Zuo Xiangning was so disgusted with him, but the more she behaved like this, the more he wanted to marry!

He just promised the eldest princess that he would never take a concubine, but Zuo Xiangning is dead and he wants to marry a second wife. No one can control it, right?

"You may not be happy if you marry a woman whose heart is not with you." The eldest princess wanted to persuade her again.

"She must have misunderstood me. As long as she knows what kind of person I am in the future, she will definitely like me." Gu Zhiqing said confidently.

"Since you firmly believe so, then it depends on your luck." The eldest princess stood up tiredly and was helped out of the flower hall by her nanny.

Gu Zhiding stood up and quickly walked out of the door, but Zuo Xiangning's figure had long since disappeared.

Zuo Xiangning sat on the carriage and took two deep breaths before she became less angry.

What should we do now?

The emperor had originally intended to grant marriage to himself and Gu Zhiqing. Now if the eldest princess goes to ask the emperor again, the emperor will definitely use Po Xia Donkey's nod to agree.

She said to Bingyu beside her: "You keep an eye here. If the eldest princess leaves the palace, try to destroy her carriage."

Although this method is stupid and may not be effective, it can at least give her a way to vent her anger.

No wonder Gu Zhiqing is so self-centered, it turns out he inherited it from the eldest princess.

It seems that the middle minister and Gu Zhiqing of the eldest princess's residence cannot accept it properly. For me, it is a great gift!

Zuo Xiangning sneered, leaned on the cushions of the carriage, and staggered home.

Seeing her coming back at this hour, Jiang asked her curiously, "Did you eat or didn't eat?" "No." Zuo Xiangning decided not to pretend to be peaceful with Jiang anymore, "Gu Zhiqingfei asked me to marry him. , I have already said that I will not marry, but he still insists on marrying me, and the eldest princess also said that she would go to the palace to beg the emperor."

Jiang frowned, "If they want to marry you, don't they come to our house to propose marriage? Let me tell you directly, what's going on?"

"Mother, no matter where they say it, you can't agree." Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips, "Gu Zhiqing is a cunning and insidious person. So many people were killed in the Gu family fire, and he has nothing to do with it. He is so vicious. , I won’t be with him no matter what.”

"I have also heard some rumors." Jiang sighed, "It would be great if we could find a suitable family now, and we could stop his thoughts."

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip, hesitating whether to talk about Ling Xiao or not.

"Don't worry. You can go to the palace tomorrow and tell your sister that you don't want to marry Gu Zhiqing. If even your sister can't stop her, then wait until we get Gu Zhiqing's horoscope and say that your horoscopes are incompatible."

Zuo Xiangning's eyes lit up and she gave Jiang a thumbs up, "You are so awesome."

"Silly girl." Jiang smiled and pinched her tender face, "What do you want to eat? I'll have someone cook it for you."

"I want to eat noodles." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to make it for you." Jiang asked someone to prepare it quickly.

Neither mother nor daughter paid much attention to the eldest princess's mansion.

Who would have thought that in the afternoon, the imperial edict granting marriage would arrive from the palace, and the date was actually set one month before Zuo Zixi's wedding.

Then the emperor's rewards were also sent over, and there were actually two carts.

Zuo Xiangning stood in the yard, looking at the two boxes of silk and satin, one box of jewelry, and three boxes of porcelain. Zuo Xiangning secretly felt funny.

Did the emperor think that he was going back on his word and was giving himself compensation?

"The eldest princess moved so fast." Jiang said nervously from the side: "It seems that the eldest princess is bound to do it."

Zuo Xiangning was worried about whether her sister would have a dispute with the emperor if she knew the news.

She looked at the sun that was about to set in the west and knew that it was too late to enter the palace now.

I just hope that her sister can clearly understand her current situation and never confront the emperor head-on.

"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the emperor." Jiang said with a frown.

"I'll go tomorrow." Zuo Xiangning hurriedly smiled and comforted: "I will go and ask the emperor myself." Jiang said with worry: "You go on a trip first. But now he is no longer the second prince, but It’s your Majesty, you must speak with some restraint and be careful... to resist the decree.”

Jiang's last two words were said very lightly, but their weight was very heavy.

Zuo Xiangning nodded and said with a smile: "I will act by ear."

"Also remind the Queen, let her also... pay attention to some sense of propriety." Jiang whispered.

Zuo Xiangning nodded and held Jiang's arm, "You don't have to worry about sister, she will take care of herself."

"How can a parent not worry about his or her children?" Jiang asked people to carry all the things to the warehouse in the main courtyard and told the nun in charge of the warehouse, "Everyone has taken good care of it. This is a reward from the emperor. If it is lost, If you get one thing, you will lose your head."

When Zuo Xiangning returned to the courtyard, Bingyu quietly said to Zuo Xiangning: "Marquis Jingyuan sent someone a message saying that he already knows about the marriage, so don't worry."
