The Regent's little cutie is four and a half years old

Chapter 698
When we arrived in Dongshi, there were fewer people discussing on the street, but there were still some.

Gu Qingning entered a tea house and went to the private room on the second floor. There is no separate private room here, and the private room is separated by curtains and screens.

The lobby on the first floor is a stage for storytelling and singing. Now it is intermission, and only a few musicians are playing.

Not long after Gu Qingning sat down, people came from the next door. They were two girls. Judging by the gorgeous clothes, they should not be girls from ordinary families.

After they were seated, they began to discuss about Ye Huaichu.

The sound was not loud, Gu Qingning could just hear it, but if it was a little further away, she couldn't hear clearly.

Gu Qingning sat quietly drinking tea, wanting to see what they could say.

"Cousin, tell me, why didn't the lord get married? Could it be because Shu Yun cast a shadow on him?" The woman in yellow began to talk after ordering tea with Xiao Er.

Sitting opposite her was her cousin, dressed in blue, who couldn't see clearly through the screen.

The woman in blue took a sip of tea and said, "Probably not. The prince is a person who can hunt with his bare hands, and he is planning strategies in court. How could he be influenced by Shu Yun? In my opinion, it is probably because of Gu Qingning. "

Unexpectedly hearing her own name, Gu Qingning immediately pricked up her ears and told the people next to her to keep quiet.

I just heard the woman in yellow ask: "Why did my cousin say that? What's the matter with Gu Qingning?"

The woman in blue said: "You don't understand this. I have met them several times before. You don't know how much the prince loves Gu Qingning. He loves Gu Qingning to the bone. I have never seen him treat others Even Princess Ming An has shown such gentle eyes."

"I think that the prince's delay in marrying the concubine may be because he is waiting for Gu Qingning to grow up."

"No way?" The woman in yellow was shocked and couldn't accept this statement at all. "The two of them are so different in age. When Gu Qingning grows up, the prince will be over 30. Impossible, absolutely impossible."

How can one person wait for another for so long?

"This is just my personal opinion. I didn't say that what I said is true. Not necessarily, but what if?"

"Anyway, I don't think so. Gu Qingning is just an orphan girl. There is no advantage for the prince to marry her, and even outsiders will criticize her for it..."

Hearing this, Gu Qingning turned her head away and looked at the lobby on the first floor quietly.

The storyteller has already come to the stage, holding a folding fan. He is an old man over fifty years old with a goatee, and his cloudy eyes reveal a sense of vicissitudes.

"It was mentioned last time that Mr. Zhang abandoned his wife and married the prime minister's daughter and made his way to prosperity, but he was accused of this..."

"Miss, they are talking nonsense, do you want your slaves to go over and warn them?" Shuang Shuang couldn't stand it anymore, how could they talk nonsense outside?
Seeing what they should be wearing, the daughters of the petty official's family don't pay attention to their status outside at all, and speak as soon as they open their mouths. Didn't the mother at home tell them to be cautious when speaking outside?
"Forget it, the mouth grows on other people, and they can say whatever they like. There are so many mouths, we can't stop them."

Gu Qingning actually didn't dislike what they said, she was also waiting for an answer.

Maybe?
Shuang Shuang's voice was not low, and the two sisters next door heard it and looked at each other.

The woman in blue figured it out, and made a silent gesture to the woman in yellow.
