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

Chapter 85

Zuo Xiangning left Chu Prince's Mansion. Seeing that it was still early, she asked the carriage to go to Mingyue Mountain outside the city.

The large frame of the villa has been built, and Zhang Rui and Ma Gui have brought more than 40 people to decorate the interior of the house.

"I originally wanted to keep only ten people, but they are all from the same village and want to work together so that everyone can share more New Year's money before the end of the year." Zhang Rui said, bending down.

"If they do well, everyone will be given more at the end of the year." Zuo Xiangning asked Panxia to give Zhang Rui two taels of silver. "It's cold, so the food is a little better."

"Thank you, girl." Zhang Rui smiled and took it with both hands, "This group of people worked very hard."

"It's not bad." Zuo Xiangning walked around the house and asked someone to build two additional rooms with windows and partitions on the south side of the courtyard, near the cliff.

Not only can you enjoy the scenery here, but you can also enjoy the cool weather.

"Madam said, when you have some free time, go to Muwenzhai and order some furniture." Zhang Rui said, "You can start adding more furniture one after another in the spring of next year."

"How much furniture do we need?" Zuo Xiangning looked at the more than 20 rooms and was secretly worried.

"The madam has given one set, and Princess Chu has also given one set. If you order two more sets, it should be enough." Zhang Rui said: "In addition, the madam said that she will bring some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and let the girl decorate them by herself."

Zuo Xiangning thought to herself that Jiang's calligraphy and paintings were all good things, but she couldn't bear to use them. She might as well go out and buy some copied calligraphy and paintings for decoration.

Zuo Xiangning pointed out a few things that needed to be changed, and walked back with Pancui.

On the way, she was still thinking about King Chu.

What if things were as she suspected?

She can't stop King Chu from seizing the throne, right?

If King Qi really wins, she may not be able to make a good fuss.

I don’t know if King Chu came up with the idea of ​​favoring Concubine Liu because of the death of her eldest brother and uncle. If not, then things might not be that simple.

She had to think of some way to remind her eldest sister?

"Call-"

The rickety carriage suddenly stopped. Zuo Xiangning's heart tightened, and she hurriedly pulled Panxia who wanted to get out.

She now has a shadow in her heart, fearing that another assassin will attack her.

She carefully opened the curtains a crack and saw a face looking at her.

Gu Zhiqing?
"Miss Zuo?" Gu Zhiqing looked at the pretty little face in the car window and was stunned for a moment before smiling in surprise: "Is it really you?"

"Master Gu." Zuo Xiangning frowned slightly.

"When did you come back from Cangzhou?" Gu Zhiqing said with a gentle smile: "I arranged a job to go to Qingzhou a few days ago, and I was thinking about whether to go to Cangzhou to pick you up."

Zuo Xiangning raised her lips and smiled softly, and said, "I'm sorry, sir."

"Miss Zuo, you don't need to be so polite to me." Gu Zhiqing took two steps towards the car window, turned his eyes around Zuo Xiangning's face, and asked in a low voice: "Can I call you Xiangning?"

Zuo Xiangning was stunned for a moment, then looked into Gu Zhiqing's eyes as dark as dry wells and said, "Master Gu knows etiquette and the law, do you think it's appropriate?"

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate for others, but we are engaged, so it doesn't matter if we call her this way." Gu Zhiqing looked at Zuo Xiangning's little face, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a few short months, she would turn out to be so beautiful.

"But I think there's still something wrong." Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows slightly. "Then I'll follow Miss Zuo's advice." Gu Zhiqing said with a good-tempered smile, "I also want to go back to the city, and I will escort Miss Zuo for a while."

"Excuse me, sir." Zuo Xiangning glanced at the gentle man and lowered the car curtain.

She knew that Gu Zhiqing's appearance here was definitely not accidental.

Then she simply went along with his wishes and saw what else he wanted to do?
Gu Zhiqing rode a horse and followed the car, staring at the car window from time to time. "If Miss Zuo goes out of the city again next time, please let someone tell me that I can accompany you."

"Sir, you have to be busy with official duties. How can you be like me, who has plenty of time to wander around." Zuo Xiangning rolled her eyes towards the sky.

"Under normal circumstances, I have free time in the afternoon." Gu Zhiqing said with a smile: "By the way, tomorrow is Master Xuanyi's lecture day. Do you have time? I will accompany you to listen?"

"I'm going to Prince Qi's Mansion to see my second sister tomorrow." Zuo Xiangning refused.

"Then we'll wait for another day." Gu Zhiqing asked with a smile, "Is everything going well with Mr. Zuo in Cangzhou? I don't know when he will return to Beijing."

"Everything is fine with my third brother," Zuo Xiangning opened the curtain on the other side and looked at him before entering the city, then said patiently, "When he comes back, I will convey Mr. Gu's greetings."

"I know a small restaurant that cooks very delicious food. Miss Zuo, would you like to try it?" Gu Zhiqing looked at the city gate not far away and asked.

"No need," Zuo Xiangning opened the curtains and whispered to Gu Zhiqing: "Send Mr. Gu here, so as not to be seen by others, it's not good."

"With our current relationship, what else do you have to fear?" Gu Zhiqing leaned towards the car window, looked at her with piercing eyes, and said, "Now everyone in the capital knows that we are engaged, and I have a few more friends." I want to have a nice word with you."

What does he have to say to himself?

Zuo Xiangning flashed her long curled eyelashes and said, "Then let's go to the small restaurant you mentioned."

"Okay." Gu Zhiqing agreed with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning looked at him and said happily to the driver: "Follow me."

When he looked back at the car window, he found that Zuo Xiangning had lowered the curtains.

At the door of the hotel, Gu Zhiqing stood under the car and stretched out his hand towards Zuo Xiangning.

Zuo Xiangning didn't look in his direction, but held Panxia's hand and got out of the car.

Because Zuo Xiangning was visiting her eldest sister today, she specially wore a light green smoked sweater, a pleated skirt with mist and green grass, and a thin veil of green water.

The hair is combed into a pony bun, with a hollow gold hairpin inserted sideways, dotted with pink jade, and tassels sprinkled on the black hair.Gu Zhiqing stood nearby, looking a little crazy.

His eyes were full of spring water, his mouth was like red pills, his expression was indifferent, like a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, two small pear vortices were looming, as ethereal and gorgeous as fireworks.

Zuo Xiangning looked back at the man with dull eyes, frowned and called, "Mr. Gu?"

"Huh?" Gu Zhiqing blinked, walked towards the door unnaturally, and warned in a gentle voice: "Be careful of the steps."

This woman is incredible, her every move and smile is so touching.

When they arrived at the private room on the second floor, the two of them sat down. Gu Zhiqing poured a cup of tea for Zuo Xiangning, "How about you try the rose chrysanthemum tea? If you think it tastes good, I'll ask them to pack a bag for you later."

Zuo Xiangning picked up the tea cup, looked at a large pale yellow chrysanthemum floating in it, and asked softly: "I have something unclear. I wonder if Mr. Gu can answer it for me?"

"Girl, just ask, I will tell you everything I know." Gu Zhiqing looked at Zuo Xiangning solemnly.

Zuo Xiangning glanced at the man sitting upright and almost vomited.

How can this man be so good at pretending?
