Gu Jinzhi thought that the marriage of the third princess might require some effort, but it would not be difficult.

Who knew it? A few days later, my uncle sent him to the Ministry of Etiquette to inquire, and he found out that there was a big problem.

Yuan Yuye's eldest son, Yuan Xun, is sixteen years old this year and he will also participate.

Yuan Xun is the nephew of Yuan Yuye. His father has no official position. He has a clean family background, good education, handsome appearance, and very suitable external conditions.

Uncle Gu Yantao felt a chill down his back when he heard the news.

Is this the prince's idea?

The prince is trying his best to promote the Yuan family.

Gu Jinzhi was also concerned about this matter, and often sent people to ask his eldest aunt what was going on. The eldest aunt came to the door in person, told Gu Jinzhi about the matter, and said: "Your uncle is thinking of something, please leave for now."

Tell the queen so that she won't worry."

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

Her expression was a little heavy and she said, "This is just disgusting."

But the eldest aunt smiled, patted Gu Jinzhi's hand gently, and said, "It's not easy to accomplish this. Don't worry."

"Since the Yuan family has this plan, I'm afraid it's just a plan and then move forward. If you want to stop it, I'm afraid it will take some effort." Gu Jinzhi said, "We must be extremely careful."

"Someone in the family has to worry about these things, so you don't have to worry about it and can take care of the baby with peace of mind." said the eldest aunt.

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

The eldest aunt didn't sit still for long, she stood up to say goodbye.

Gu Jinzhi left her to eat.

She declined and said, "Next time, I have other things to do."

Gu Jinzhi no longer forced himself.

She sent her eldest aunt out in person.

When Zhu Zhongjun came back in the evening, Gu Jinzhi also told Zhu Zhongjun about this matter.

"This is purely disgusting to the Gu family." Gu Jinzhi said, "Although the third princess is not the daughter of the Gu family, she is the daughter of Concubine De. The feud between the Yuan family and the Gu family once made a fuss in the capital. The Yuan family favored the third princess.

, then there will be another round of rumors.”

This is an analysis of this matter from the perspective of the Gu family.

The Yuan family treated Gu Shanzhi that way, and it is impossible for the Gu family to be willing to be related to the Yuan family again.

Concubine De was also unwilling.

Gu Shanzhi is Concubine De's closest relative.

If Concubine De knew about this, she would be furious to death.

Of course, this does not mean that the third princess will definitely be unhappy when she marries the Yuan family.

"The Yuan family didn't go to the Gu family just to disgust the Gu family." Zhu Zhongjun said. "If you marry the princess, you will rise to success. This is a great honor. By the way, the Yuan family is also happy to see the success of the Gu family.

Ordinarily, Yuan Yuye is so powerful now that there are few people who flatter and deliberately exaggerate the children of the Yuan family. If the emperor were in power, he would definitely avoid suspicion and let the children of the Yuan family lose the election. However, the prince was the mastermind behind this matter, and the prince and Yuan Yuye were behind the scenes.

It can be done.

If the Gu family really wants to compete, they will have to make some sacrifices."

Gu Jinzhi agreed with Zhu Zhongjun's words.

Her brows furrowed.

"Do you want me to help with the arrangements?" Zhu Zhongjun asked Gu Jinzhi, "If the Yuan family really falls in love with the third princess, the gossip in Beijing will definitely make you Gu family lose face."

Gossip is terrible.

The Gu family and the Yuan family are at loggerheads.

Although the third princess is not a child of the Gu family, she still has half of the blood of the Gu family.

This matter will inevitably affect the Gu family.

"Yeah." Gu Jinzhi said, "Try to be as subtle as possible."

Zhu Zhongjun said yes.

****

Gu Zhai has been extremely busy these days.

In more than a month, it will be the auspicious day for Gu Xuanzhi to get married.

Repairing the courtyard, painting the walls, preparing for wedding banquets, etc. kept Song Paner so busy that her feet never touched the floor, and she seemed to lose weight.

Gu Jinzhi went to sit down every now and then and didn't bother to say a few words.

One day I happened to meet Song Pan'er when she was free, so she pulled Gu Jinzhi and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is also the birthday of your three siblings. Let's spend it together."

"It's hard to say." Gu Jinzhi said, "If the Queen Mother doesn't announce that we are entering the palace, she will definitely live with you. But I see that, the Queen Mother is eager for an opportunity to let me and the children

Everyone went into the palace to accompany her."

Song Pan'er's eyes dimmed slightly.

Maybe Gu Jinzhi will return to Luzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year.

It would be difficult to think about a reunion festival again.

"Let's talk about it another time." Song Pan'er sighed.

Gu Jinzhi changed the subject and asked her: "Has Brother Xuan's new house been settled?"

"Everything is set up." Song Pan'er said happily, "Do you want to go take a look?"

Since the beginning of autumn, it has rained a few more times. The unbearable heat of midsummer has changed in the capital, and a few rays of coolness have been added. The wind blowing on the face is no longer hot.

Gu Jinzhi is also keen on walking around.

With her big belly, she often suffers from back pain and her hormones are out of control. But walking around can divert her attention and make her feel more comfortable.

"Okay." Gu Jinzhi agreed to his mother.

Gu Xuanzhi's new house is to the east of the back garden of the inner courtyard, separated from the east and west of the main courtyard.

Song Paner feels that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be more harmonious if they are further apart.

The children felt uncomfortable living so close to each other, and neither did Song Paner.

Gu Jinzhi agreed with this point.

The two went to Brother Xuan's yard.

The courtyard was named Shuangyu Pavilion.

The three characters "Double Feather Pavilion" are so powerful, and the silver hooks and iron paintings are so powerful. Neither Gu Jinzhi's father nor his younger brother had such power.

She then asked her mother: "Whose handwriting is this plaque?"

Song Pan'er smiled and said: "You have a sharp eye. This is what your father asked Qin Meiqing to write. Qin Meiqing's calligraphy is good, so he gave the emperor a prescription. After the emperor read it, he said, Qin Meiqing's calligraphy is the best among the civil and military characters of the dynasty."

His eyes even asked Qin Meiqing to correct the writing style of King Jin."

Gu Jinzhi had no idea that Qin Meiqing's writing skills had improved so much.

She had seen Qin Meiqing's handwriting before, and it was not that good.

"Uncle Qin is getting better and better." Gu Jinzhi sighed.

She thought of the middle-aged man she met in Yanling Mansion.

He is a bit naive and not confident enough. He has read a lot of medical books and has good medical skills, but he never dares to use medicine boldly, so he has a reputation of mediocre medical skills.

Nowadays, his medical skills have become famous in the capital, and he is worthy of being called a miracle doctor. With his own medicine hall, he has worked hard to practice calligraphy, and he has become more popular with the emperor.

"He is now famous in front of the emperor. Sooner or later, the hospital's advice will be his." Song Pan'er said with a smile. "He also has a conscience. During the holidays, he rarely comes to see us. In so many years, he has never been left behind. It's your turn.

On the anniversary of his grandfather's death, he also wants to have a glass of wine."

Song Paner was quite sad.

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said, "When I interacted with him back then, I felt that he was a conscientious person..."

As the mother and daughter spoke, they entered the yard.

Facing the courtyard is an oil-painted wall silhouette two people high, standing firmly and blocking the view.

Going around the shadow of the wall, there are five main rooms.

The wing rooms on both sides have red painted doors with heavy copper locks.

Dwarf holly trees were planted on both sides of the road.

Under the eaves of the main house, there are several birds. The little maid is feeding them.

The maids and women who were cleaning the house came over one after another to salute.

"Go and get busy, I don't need to serve here." Song Pan'er was smiling and in a good mood.

She and Gu Jinzhi looked around the front and back of the house.

"How does it compare to my place?" Song Pan'er asked Gu Jinzhi.

"Each has its own merits." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "This courtyard is very unique and it is close to the South Garden. It is very interesting. Brother Xuan and his daughter-in-law will definitely like it."

There are various flower trees and fruit trees planted in the South Garden. Peach trees and plum trees each account for more than half.

The rest are a few osmanthus trees, a few locust trees, and a few pear trees.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter each have their own characteristics. Either the branches are full of fruits, or the stamens are fragrant.

Song Pan'er laughed, very proud of her arrangement.

Brother Xuan's marriage is the first major event on Song Pan'er's mind.

She now looks forward to her daughter-in-law coming in early all day so that she can hold her grandson.

When he returned, Gu Jinzhi also told Song Pan'er about the third princess's selection of a son-in-law.

When Song Pan'er heard this, she became angry and said: "This Yuan family is really wishful thinking. They actually have the idea of ​​​​Princess Shang. What is their family background? If Yuan Yuye hadn't been born, he would have been a lowly merchant.

.Now that a person has achieved enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, he is so dissatisfied."

Gu Jinzhi comforted her mother: "It's definitely not going to work. The uncle is trying his best. If the empress knows about it, she won't obey."

Song Paner was still angry.

She snorted coldly.

She also felt that the Yuan family was deliberately trying to embarrass the Gu family.

The Yuan family's main goal is to change Princess Shang's family. Opposing the Gu family is not their ultimate goal.

Three days later, the Ministry of Rites has sent the twenty people who were initially selected to the princes' hall for selection.

The list and background of these twenty people were also sent to the palace.

Yuan Xun is among them.

The prince asked someone to show it to the queen mother and empress first.

Concubine De went to seek help from the Queen Mother.

She knew that the Queen Mother was more sensible about human relations and family ties.

Seeing Yuan Xun, De Concubine paused in her heart. Then she looked carefully and saw that Yuan Xun's father was named Yuan Ningye. De Concubine was heartbroken.

She pointed out Yuan Xun's name and asked Aunt Cheng, who was beside the Queen Mother: "Aunt, which family does this Yuan Xun belong to? How did he get selected?"

Aunt Cheng coughed, a little unnaturally, and stepped forward and said: "Empress De, this Yuan Xun is the nephew of Yuan Yuye, the Minister of Civil Affairs..."

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Concubine De was also shocked and froze on the spot.

"A descendant of the Yuan family?" the Queen Mother asked coldly.

The Queen Mother disliked Yuan Yuye very much.

Concubine De was startled and took two steps back. She knelt down to the Queen Mother and burst into tears: "Empress Dowager, you make the decision for Yongchun! Your Majesty is not in the palace, and Yongchun's lifelong affairs are entrusted to your hands. You have to save him.

Yongchun."

The title of the third princess is Princess Yongchun.

His Majesty liked her so much that he gave her a title after she was born.

The Queen Mother frowned.

She felt that Concubine De was a little reckless.

Just speak slowly when you have something to say, and cry every now and then, which is a bit annoying to the Queen Mother.

"Get up." The Queen Mother said calmly, "These are twenty choices. How do you talk about saving Yongchun?"

"Empress Dowager, who doesn't know that the person most favored by the Crown Prince today is Yuan Shangshu? Not to mention the twenty candidates, there are two hundred. They must be the children of the Yuan family." Concubine De did not get up and cried even more.

Awesome, "Queen Mother, my compatriots back then

Sister, she almost died at the hands of the Yuan family. The Yuan family first framed her for being infertile, then got rid of the bastard from nowhere, and then framed my sister for murder. This dragon's den is a tiger's den that Yong Chun will never be able to get through. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother,

Please feel sorry for Yongchun!"
