"I have one more thing to tell you. I asked my mother to write a letter to my uncle from the Jiang family and carefully remind him that the emperor intends to transfer my eldest brother to Yanmen Pass. I will find a way to postpone it until next year." Zuo Xiangrong said softly. Sighing, "Tell mother to be careful and don't let anyone see you."

In the past, Zuo Xiangning might not have known the meaning of Zuo Xiangrong's words, but she had been to the border and knew that this matter was of great significance.

Her eldest brother had joined the army with his uncle from the Jiang family since he was a child. The Jiang family's army had been guarding the border, and her eldest brother was at home there.

If his eldest brother is transferred to Yanmen Pass, it is very likely that his eldest brother will be ignored and become an empty frame.

"Brother, does he have to be transferred?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"The guard of Yanmen Pass is Liu Ye. He is the elder brother of the eldest prince's concubine. The emperor will definitely replace him, but if he replaces the eldest brother, I don't know whether it is bad or good." Zuo Xiangrong looked towards the door as she spoke. direction.

That vigilant look made Zuo Xiangning feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother Hong seems to be heavy again." Zuo Xiangning changed the subject first and said: "Look at how good his skin is, smooth and delicate. When will sister give birth to a little princess again? I want to do a lot for her. Pretty little dress.”

"You girl, you dare to make fun of me." Zuo Xiangrong patted Zuo Xiangning, and said with a shy smile: "How have you prepared your things for me? You go back and tell your mother that the first step of the dowry is I’ll send someone back.”

Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "My mother told me two days ago to remind me so that I don't forget it again."

"It would be great if I could go and see eldest brother's wedding." Zuo Xiangrong sighed, then thought of Zuo Xiangning and Gu Zhiqing's marriage, and lowered her voice and said: "From now on, you can no longer talk to Marquis Jingyuan. Any contact."

"Sister-" Zuo Xiangning said dissatisfiedly.

Zuo Xiangrong interrupted her and warned: "The eldest princess has already complained to the emperor when she entered the palace, and she even came to me and lost her temper. She is not a vegetarian. Now that she knows about Marquis Jingyuan Because you beat Gu Zhiqing, she won't let it go easily. If she catches you being involved in private, she will definitely cause an uproar, and everyone will know about it, and everyone will be embarrassed."

Zuo Xiangning frowned.

"Xiang Ning, if my sister knows that you don't want to marry Gu Zhiqing, I will also find a way to mess up the marriage, but you also have to be mentally prepared. If the marriage doesn't happen, then the matter between you and Marquis Jingyuan will have to be It becomes a secret and will always be kept in my heart." Zuo Xiangrong said.

Zuo Xiangning tightened her lips in resistance.

Zuo Xiangrong reached out and hugged Zuo Xiangning gently in her arms, "People's words are scary, so you have to be careful."

Zuo Xiangning came out of the palace feeling even more depressed.

She didn't expect that the eldest princess would be so shameless as to cry one after another in front of the emperor.

I didn't expect that she would dare to make trouble in front of Zuo Xiangrong.

Returning to Zuofu, she conveyed to Jiang that Zuo Zixi would be transferred to Yanmen Pass after the new year.

Although Jiang is a housewife, she grew up in a family of military commanders and knows more about many things than women from official families. What's more, she is particularly attentive to matters involving her children.

As soon as Zuo Xiangning finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.

"The Queen and the Emperor are angry?" Jiang asked worriedly.

"No." Zuo Xiangning shook her head, "The two of them should get along well."

"Then why did the emperor transfer your eldest brother to Yanmen Pass?" Jiang asked in confusion.

"The current guard of Yanmen Pass is Liu Ye, the elder brother of the eldest prince's concubine." Zuo Xiangning said.

Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then this person needs to move." But then Jiang frowned and said, "But the more this happens, the more difficult it will be for your eldest brother to be transferred."

"That's why eldest sister asked you to write a letter to Uncle Jiang's family. Don't write to my eldest brother directly." Zuo Xiangning lowered her voice, leaned into Jiang's ear and said, "You must be careful not to let others see it. "

Jiang nodded and took Zuo Xiangning to the west room, "Write an invitation to your uncle and invite him to come to Beijing to attend your eldest brother's wedding banquet at the end of the year."

After Zuo Xiangning finished writing, Jiang read it again, then walked to the bookshelf next to her, took a cyan porcelain vase, dipped a clean brush into the contents, and wrote another line at the back.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the paper that had no trace at all, and looked at Jiang Shi strangely.

Jiang didn't say anything. He picked up another piece of paper from the side and wrote a word on it with a pen. Then he took the paper without writing and put it on a candle to bake, and the word "香" appeared on the paper.

Jiang came close to the surprised Zuo Xiangning's ear and whispered: "Your uncle sent this, and put it at the bottom of the shelf."

Zuo Xiangning nodded lightly.

"Tomorrow, let Zhang Rui go to Cangzhou to send an invitation to your grandfather, and take one of my companions to Beijing." Jiang said: "Zhang Rui and his wife will have to go with you in the future, and our family will have to make up for it." Come in personally.”

Zuo Xiangning nodded and agreed: "I will tell Zhang Rui's family soon and let Zhang Rui enter the house early tomorrow."

Jiang nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will have people come into the house to make clothes for you, and you have to start preparing things for your wedding. Before you were going to get married in the north, many things were of no use and were all taken away by me. It's been stored in the warehouse, and I have to take it out tomorrow and take a good look at it again to see what's missing and have someone prepare it quickly."

"Mother, I'm not in a hurry." Zuo Xiangning stopped with a big head: "It's my turn after I finish my eldest brother's work."

"You're only one month apart. How long do you think it will be?" Jiang drove her away without any explanation, "Go back to the courtyard and rest. You don't need to prepare your things."

Zuo Xiangning saw that she couldn't stop him, so she just let Jiang go.

She would never marry Gu Zhiqing anyway.

If in the end, she can't escape, then she will run away from the marriage.

The worst case scenario is to find a place to hide and not return to the capital for a few years.

The next morning, Zhang Rui hurried to Zuofu and met Jiang first. Jiang told Zhang Rui everything he wanted to bring to Cangzhou.

Especially for that letter, Jiang Shidao warned: "It must be handed over to the great master first."

Zhang Ruidi nodded, wrapped the letter in oil paper and put it in his arms.

He then went to Xianglan Zhai.

"The old slave has handed over the matter of seeking information to Zhang Tu. If he needs anything, he will come to you directly. When you have time, say hello to the concierge," Zhang Rui said.

"I'll ask someone to tell you soon," Zuo Xiangning asked Panxia to get ten taels of silver for Zhang Rui, "Be careful on the road, go early and come back early."

Not even half an hour after Zhang Rui left, Zhang Rui's family ran in and said, "Girl, Zhang Tu has something to see the girl."

Zuo Xiangning secretly raised her eyebrows and asked her to bring Zhang Tu in.

"Girl, there is news from Shuntian Mansion that it was Gu Ming who admitted that Gu Zhiqing was the child of him and Mrs. Gu."
