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

Chapter 81 Engagement
"What can I hide from you?" Ling Xiao smiled and said, "What do you want to know?"

Zuo Xiangning rolled her eyes at him, closed her eyes again, and said, "When you return home, don't forget to take care of all the warblers and swallows in your yard."

"My house is very clean, there is nothing." Ling Xiao said with a smile, "There are only a few rough girls."

"That's not what you said last time." Zuo Xiangning curled her lips.

"Last time..." Ling Xiao thought for a moment and smiled: "After I went back last time, I already sent her back."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled, "There are also Yingying Yanyan outside, you'd better deal with them too."

"You don't have to worry about this. I really don't have any outside." Ling Xiao raised his hand and said seriously: "I can swear to it."

"Why do you swear when you have nothing to do?" Zuo Xiangning glared at him, "Sleep."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Ling Xiao turned around and lay flat on the bed.

After Zuo Xiangning fell asleep, Ling Xiao stretched his arms under her neck and gently held her in his arms.

After tomorrow, I may have to wait until the wedding before I have a chance to hold her.

Ling Xiao sighed softly and looked sideways at the woman who fascinated him.

When he returned to the Marquis Mansion, he told his mother about the marriage proposal, and he couldn't delay for a moment.

Zuo Xiangning felt herself snuggled into a warm embrace like a stove. She squinted her eyes, glanced at the man's chest, found a comfortable position to lie down, and closed her eyes again.

The next morning, Zuo Xiangning woke up in Ling Xiao's arms.

When she usually wakes up, Ling Xiao has already gotten up and sits at the table to read the secret report.

This was the first time that he lay in bed with her.

One of his palms was firmly fixed on her waist, and one of her legs was draped on his thigh.

With her face flushed, Zuo Xiangning hurriedly took off her leg, then stretched out her hand to open his fingers, and carefully stepped over him...

"Are you awake?" The man suddenly opened his eyes and greeted her with a smile.

"Huh?" Zuo Xiangning was startled, and her plump butt suddenly sat on his lap.

"Oh!" Something in Ling Xiao's body reacted immediately. He hurriedly pulled the quilt towards himself, "You get up first, I'll get up after a while."

He originally wanted to tease the woman next to him, but now he didn't dare to say a word.

Zuo Xiangning saw that his face was a little ugly, so she jumped out of bed, lifted the quilt and looked at his calves, and asked angrily: "Did I press your legs? Why do your hairs seem to stand on end?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Ling Xiao quickly retracted his legs and said with a smile, "I'm really fine."

"Let me take a look." Zuo Xiangning pulled his ankle, "Let me see if there is bleeding again."

As soon as Zuo Xiangning's fingers touched his calf, Ling Xiao shivered.

He hurriedly sat up, took her hand away, and covered his lower body with the quilt. "I'm really fine. Be obedient. You go and wash up first. The girls will wake up later and find that you are not good here." "Oh! That's right! !" Zuo Xiangning just remembered and hurriedly ran out, "I'll see you later."

Ling Xiao lay down and took a few deep breaths to slowly calm down his body.

Now that the Chinese New Year is only a month away, he has to hurry up.

He got up from the bed, washed his hands, and had breakfast with Zuo Xiangning.

"I'll leave ten guards for you and let Tian Xiaowu take charge. If anything happens, just ask him." Ling Xiao whispered: "If you want to find me, just tell him."

"I don't want an escort." Zuo Xiangning said: "I won't wear women's clothes from now on, and I will try to go out as little as possible. Even if I go out, I will sit in a carriage and not get out of the car. Is this okay?"

"It's not safe for you to wear women's clothes now," Ling Xiao looked at her increasingly delicate face, "It's okay if you don't want an escort. I've been in the capital recently. When you go out, ask someone to find me. I'll accompany you. .”

"No need..." Zuo Xiangning saw Ling Xiao looking directly at her, so she could only smile and nod, "Okay, I will ask you to be my guard when I go out."

"Now you are obedient." Ling Xiao reached out and hugged her quickly, and said reluctantly: "I'm leaving first."

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning nodded.

After Ling Xiao left, she called Zhang Rui's family in.

"Is everything okay at home?" Zuo Xiangning asked Zhang Rui's family to sit down and talk.

"Everything is fine at home." Zhang Rui's half-buttocks were sitting on the small stool, and he replied: "Everyone in the family is in good health. Aunt Liu has not been out in Ruyi Courtyard, and the master has been staying in the front yard. Madam I have been busy proposing to the third girl these days."

"Have you found the right one, Miss Three?" Zuo Xiangning asked with interest.

"The madam and the old lady have found several opportunities for the third girl, but neither the master nor the third girl agrees," Zhang Rui's family said with a smile, "But your marriage has already been arranged, and the third girl's marriage must be arranged before anything else." Come down."

"Has my marriage been decided?" Zuo Xiangning blinked.

Did Ling Xiao move so fast?
He had not left for two-quarters of an hour before he went to Zuofu to arrange the marriage?

"Whose house did I book?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"Of course you ordered the Gu family..."

"Gu family?" Zuo Xiangning stood up with excitement, "How could it be the Gu family?"

Zhang Rui's family was startled, stood up in a hurry, and replied tremblingly: "Your marriage was arranged by King Chu and Princess Chu, and it was arranged by the eldest young master of the Gu family."

"Tell me carefully, what's going on?" Zuo Xiangning walked half a circle around the room, returned to Zhang Rui's house, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me everything you know. "

"Yes." The Zhang Rui family followed Zuo Xiangning's instructions and followed Jiang after returning to the Zuo Mansion. She basically knew everything about the Zuo Mansion.

"Before your hairpin ceremony, my wife went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion in person and told Princess Chu that you were sick in Cangzhou and could not come back before the hairpin ceremony. It would have to be postponed for a few days. When King Chu came back, she and Princess Chu were alone. I gave you a hairpin gift." Zhang Rui's family member said: "On the next day, King Chu and Princess Chu came to Zuofu together. King Chu and the master went to the front yard, and Princess Chu went to the backyard and mentioned the eldest young master of the Gu family to his wife. She said that the Gu family originally planned to propose marriage to you on the day of your wedding, but now that you have canceled the wedding, the Gu family wanted to book the wedding first. Madam also thought that the uncle of the Gu family was very nice, but she felt that you were not around, so she did not ask you. I mean, it's a bit too hasty. Princess Chu said that the Gu family was in a hurry. Mrs. Gu went to see Princess Chu twice, and Mr. Gu and Uncle Gu went to see King Chu three or four times, saying that Prince Duan's prime minister had taken a liking to the Gu family and wanted to Marry the princess to him, but the eldest son of the Gu family is very fond of the fourth girl, so he wants to arrange the marriage of the eldest son of the Gu family before Prince Duan mentions this matter."

"The madam said: Madam Gu is sincere. She has come to the Gu Mansion twice, but she was blocked by the madam. Princess Chu said that among the marriageable men in the capital now, the Gu family's uncle is the most outstanding. If this It would be a pity not to grasp it this time, and he also said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu also said that the Gu family uncle is humble and polite, knowledgeable and talented, and he is highly valued by the emperor, and his future is limitless. "

So, Princess Chu and her aunt made an appointment to marry Gu Zhiqing? !
