Gongyu heard that she would not be married until three days later, so he naturally thought that she was innocent and ignorant of the world.Stepping up to her in three steps at a time, he said straight to the point: "Your Highness, uncle's visit today is not for His Majesty's sacrifice to heaven, but for Your Highness's marriage."

Meng Hezhi feigned astonishment, then took the conversation: "For Anle's marriage?"

Gong Yuwen nodded.

Meng He Zhiqiao had an unchanging smile on her face, and she seemed to answer casually without thinking too much: "But Anle remembers that not long ago, Uncle Wuhuang and Uncle had already selected two suitable candidates for Anle. Then please trouble Uncle Huang and Uncle here Choose the most suitable candidate from the two."

Gong Yuwen frowned, and told her to continue, "Does your Highness know who the two candidates selected by the uncle and the fifth prince are?"

Meng Hezhi nodded his head slightly, and replied unhurriedly: "One is the champion Hou Huyanjian, and the other is Yuhao, the son of Duke Yu."

"That's where the problem lies."

Meng Hezhi heard the words and looked at Gong Yuwen in bewilderment.

Gong Yuwen sighed heavily, and then analyzed the powerful relationship to An Le: "Your Highness, it seems that you only need to choose one of these two people for your marriage, but this is also what His Majesty needs to choose from." Choose the one you trust the most among the uncle and the five princes."

Hearing Gong Yuwen say this, Meng Hezhi immediately understood that Gong Yuwen was naturally a lobbyist for his son Gong Yuhao.

Meng Hezhi deliberately showed a look of astonishment, and then put on a slightly panicked gesture and asked Gong Yuwen for help: "An Le didn't know that her marriage was so important. But An Le didn't know how to make a choice when he was young, let alone if His Majesty already had a heart. How can An Le's opinions sway His Majesty after choosing a candidate? Uncle, what should we do?"

Gong Yuwen was waiting for An Le's words, but he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.Instead, ask first: "Your Highness, can you trust Uncle?"

Meng Hezhi replied: "Anle naturally trusts uncle."

Gongyu was overjoyed when he heard the words.On the surface, he said imperceptibly: "Then if His Majesty asks His Highness's opinion, His Highness only needs to tell his true feelings."

Gong Yuwen's words didn't seem to make Meng Hezhi declare that he was not married to Gong Yuhao, but the truth couldn't be more clear.Gong Yuhao is Meng Hezhi's cousin, and the two of them have seen each other often since they were young.Although they met less often after growing up, Meng Hezhi still knew Gong Yuhao a little bit.In contrast to Hu Yanjian, Meng Hezhi only heard of his reputation but never met him.

In such a comparison, Meng Hezhi and His Majesty's revealing their true feelings is not equivalent to telling His Majesty that between Hu Yanjian and Gong Yuhao, he prefers Gong Yuhao.

Meng He knew it well, and made a docile gesture to tell Gong Yu, "An Le understands."

After getting his own satisfactory answer, Gong Yuwen naturally left contentedly.

Qiong He, who was silent at the side, stepped forward and asked: "Your Highness, why didn't Duke Yu speak to you clearly today, but went around in circles like this?"

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Meng Hezhi's lowered eyes and said: "He did this to keep people from talking about it in the future. Just now, he spoke from my position. In this way, if I don't want to in the future, he can say This was Ben Gong's own choice at the beginning, and he never forced Ben Gong."

After hearing this, Joong He gasped.She didn't have so many twists and turns, and said somewhat injustice on Meng Hezhi's behalf: "Duke Yu is your Royal Highness's uncle."

"But he is the Duke of Yu and a member of Gongyu's family. Therefore, no matter what his original intentions are, he still has to proceed from the standpoint of Gongyu's family."

Meng Hezhi's tone was calm, as if he was analyzing with Qiong He something that had nothing to do with him.

Qionghe nodded half-understanding, and finally spit out: "Qionghe thinks that Qionghe should not know too much about this matter."

Meng Hezhi smiled and said: "You girl, now you know how to protect yourself?"

But Qionghe said: "Qionghe just wants to be with His Highness to serve more."

Meng Hezhi listened and said nothing.

After about a short moment of silence, he asked Qiong He lightly, "Isn't Ah Shu here yet?"

Qiong He pursed her lips and replied: "Bai Changshi wanted to come earlier, but as soon as he left the door, he was dragged away by the champion."

Hearing that Hu Yanjian pulled Bai Cangzhu away, Meng Hezhi finally showed some displeasure on his face.

Qiong He seemed to have something to say, but seeing Meng Hezhi's face at this time, she couldn't help but shut her mouth.

Meng Hezhi saw it through at a glance, looked at Qionghe and said: "Qionghe, did something happen?"

"Yes, Joan He heard some rumors."

Not long after Qionghe told Meng Hezhi what she knew, Bai Cangzhu, who was dragged away by Hu Yanjian, finally arrived late.

Meng Hezhi's complexion faded at this moment, and he looked at Bai Cangzhu with a smile that could make a dead tree spring.

Bai Cangzhu stepped forward and crossed hands with Meng Hezhixing and said, "Bai Cangzhu has met His Highness An Le."

"Excuse me. Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Bai Cangshu sat down, Meng Hezhi smiled and said: "I got a collection of poems earlier, and I originally invited you to come and read it today. I didn't expect that Ashu was caught by the champion."

Bai Cangshu smiled wryly, and replied, "Your Highness must have heard about why the officer was stopped by the Champion."

Meng Hezhi nodded slightly, and said again: "However, it seems that the champion is not the only one who is anxious about this matter."

Hearing this, Bai Cangzhu immediately understood what Meng Hezhi meant.With a half-smile, she accepted the words in a calm tone: "Your Highness must have expected this situation a long time ago."

Meng Hezhi didn't admit it or deny it, but changed the subject directly and said: "By the way, I just heard something interesting. Since one of the parties is here, it is inevitable that I will be asked."

Bai Cangzhu raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and continued with a smile: "Your Highness, you might as well ask, if Cangzhu knows about it, then of course he knows everything without saying a lot."

"I heard that Master Du, Minister of the Household Department, intends to betroth his youngest daughter to A Shu."

Meng Hezhi paused for a moment, carefully observing the change of expression on Bai Cangzhu's face.But seeing her expression as usual, she guessed that she might have heard about it before continuing to ask, "I don't know if you know about it, Ashu."

Bai Cangzhu looked at Meng Hezhi without changing his expression, and asked back with a slight raise of the corner of his mouth, "Then what does Your Highness want to know from Cang Zhu? Why is Master Du wanting to marry his youngest daughter to Cang Zhu, who is also a girl's regular attendant?" , or what does Cang Zhu think about this marriage?"
