The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

At night, Gu Qinyuan lay on the bed with her eyes open, and unconsciously remembered the scene with Tu Mingjin.Obviously we haven't met a few times, but every bit of it is clear.Suddenly, Gu Qinyuan remembered what Tu Mingjin said today, her face turned red, and she pulled the quilt over her head.

I said silently in my heart: don't think, don't think, sleep!

Tonight, Mother Zhao ordered Yu Chi and Yun Zhui to watch the night together, and the two listened to the movement inside, looked at each other, and silently exchanged a look.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Zheng looked at Mother Zhao in front of her, and asked, "Where did the county lord go at today's flower viewing feast?"

When criticizing the poems, Mrs. Zheng looked around but couldn't find Gu Qinyuan's composition. Her daughter knew that even if she didn't like it, she wouldn't be rude, and she would definitely hand in a poem in the end.

After Gu Qinyuan returned to the mansion, she specifically asked Mother Zhao and Yu Chi not to talk to his wife about meeting the Seventh Prince.

But Mother Zhao thought of her appearance today, and she was afraid that she was interested in the Seventh Prince, so she said: "At the flower viewing banquet, the Seventh Prince is here."

"Your Highness the Seventh?" Why is it the Seventh Prince again?Zheng frowned, and asked, "Sister Yuan saw the Seventh Prince again?"

"Yes." Zhao Momo nodded, "It was His Highness the Seventh Prince who sent someone to call the county magistrate." As for how she called, Zhao Momo didn't say.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt upset, and waved her hands, "You go back first."

Mother Zhao returned to Hengwu Courtyard after paying her respects.

"Ma'am." Wang Momo called out, "Our county lord and His Highness the Seventh?"

Mrs. Zheng sighed, "I'm afraid Sister Yuan is tempted."

Although the youngest daughter's thoughts are well hidden, they can still reveal a little bit.

"Madam, do you want to talk to the master?" Wang Momo reminded, such a big matter, the master at home has to decide.

Mrs. Zheng murmured, "It's time to mention it to the master."

What is the meaning of mentioning the Seventh Prince to meet privately with his daughter again and again?

In the past few days, Gu Qingbai has been busy sorting out the old accounts of the Jiangnan Salt Administration in the Ministry of Finance, resting in the government office for several days, and did not return home.

Zheng Shi just wanted to wait for him to come back before talking, never thought that someone would come from the Queen's palace the next day and call Zheng Shi into the palace.

In Yikun Palace, the Empress smiled softly, and said to Mrs. Zheng, "Madam Gu hasn't brought Ning An to my place for a long time."

"The empress is busy with palace affairs every day, and the servants dare not disturb the empress." Mrs. Zheng paused for a moment and asked, "I don't know what orders the empress has to order for the minister's wife to come today?"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Madam is as polite as me." The Madam of the Gu family must know about Lao Qi and Ning An like this?The queen nodded secretly, it seemed that her aggressive method was really effective, Lao Qi finally made a move.

"But I really have something to talk to my wife about today." The queen looked at Mrs. Zheng and said, "Speaking of which, it's also a happy event for the palace and the Gu family."

Zheng's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she slowly clasped her hands together, "What happy event is your empress talking about?"

"Madam, would you marry me as an in-law?" the queen asked.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Although the Empress understood it in her heart, she never expected that the Empress would speak out so quickly.

"What do you think?" The queen said with a smile, "Of course I will ask Lao Qi to marry you, the Lord of Ning'an County."

Zheng came out of the palace in a trance, and met Gu Qingbai who was returning home just in time at the door.

"Master, what's the matter?" Seeing that Gu Qingbai's expression was not good, Zheng Shi asked.

Gu Qingbai sighed and wiped off his sweat, "It's hard to explain. Where did Madam come back from?"

Zheng looked at him with complicated eyes, and then said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

The husband and wife returned to the main courtyard, looking at each other without saying a word. It was a long time before Mrs. Zheng talked about the empress and her marriage proposal.

"So the queen called you into the palace today to propose marriage to the seventh prince?" Gu Qingbai's expression was inexplicable.

Zheng Shi nodded, "That's not it."

She hasn't recovered yet, why did she suddenly propose marriage?She was not prepared at all.

"What does the master say?" Mrs. Zheng wanted to hear Gu Qingbai's opinion.

Gu Qingbai snorted coldly, "What do you say, the Seventh Prince said everything today, what else can I say."

"The Seventh Prince also came to look for you?" Zheng was surprised, and after a while, she said slowly, "It's really intentional."

The Seventh Prince's behavior is also a responsible man.

"It's intentional, I don't know when he started thinking about Sister Yuan?" Gu Qingbai's tone was not very good. Although his daughter has an admirer, it is natural to prove that his daughter is excellent, but how can a father like others to covet his daughter? .

In the morning, Gu Qingbai just came out of the government office and was about to go back to his residence, when he met Tu Mingjin on the way and invited him to have breakfast.

He just wanted to give face to the prince no matter what, and recently Tu Mingjin often came to ask him about official affairs, Gu Qingbai had a good impression of Tu Mingjin.

Who would have thought that after some pleasantries, the Seventh Prince would directly say that he wanted to marry his youngest daughter.

Gu Qingbai has been well-versed in the world for so many years, but the hand holding the teacup still shook, "Your Highness, are you speaking the truth?"

"Yes." Tu Mingjin saluted Gu Qingbai, and said seriously, "I hope Master Gu can betroth Ning An to me. I will cherish her, respect her, protect her, and make her life safe and happy."

"Master." Seeing that Gu Qingbai was lost in thought, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly shouted, "What should we do about the matter of the Seventh Prince?"

In fact, Mrs. Zheng is still very optimistic about this marriage. The Seventh Prince has a strong character and has affection for Sister Yuan. The empress also likes Sister Yuan, but the royal rules are strict, and as a prince, it is impossible to have only one Concubine Zheng, if the Seventh Prince treats Sister Yuan badly in the future, the Gu family can't do anything.

Ordinary people's Gu's family can still call on them, but what about the royal family?

Gu Qingbai touched his chin and thought, "I have to discuss it with my father."

The old man has dealt with the royal family for so many years, and he knows how to handle the relationship with the royal family.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but nodded, "It's time to talk to Eunuch."

When Gu Qingbai arrived at Qinghuiyuan, the old man was teaching Jia Hu to read, and Gu Tingze was also doing his homework.

"Grandfather." Gu Tingze shouted when he saw Gu Qingbai coming in.

Jia Hu: "Grandfather."

Gu Qingbai was also happy to see his grandson and grandson, he stroked Jia Hu's round head, and praised: "Hu'er is such a good boy who works so hard at such a young age."

Jia Hu felt a little embarrassed, and smiled with her lips pursed.

"What's the matter with you?" the old man asked.Ever since he was living in retirement, Gu Qingbai usually took matters into his own hands and never asked him again.

At this time, there must be something uncertain.

"Hu'er and I are going to pay my respects to grandma." Gu Tingze said to Jia Hu when his grandfather had something to talk to his great-grandfather.

Jia Hu agreed.

After the two brothers saluted, they left Qinghuiyuan.

"Speak." The old man put down the book in his hand and looked at Gu Qingbai.

"Today the Empress and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince asked me and my wife to marry Sister Yuan." Gu Qingbo paused, "Master, what do you think about this?"

The old man pondered for a moment, "What do you think of the Seventh Prince?"

Tu Mingjin was young, and when the old man retired from court, he was still studying in the palace school. The old man didn't know much about him.

"The Seventh Prince has a noble character, is calm and upright, and has his own views on court affairs. He must become a virtuous king in the future." Although Gu Qingbai was dissatisfied with Tu Mingjin coveting his daughter, he really couldn't say anything wrong if.

The old man just laughed, "The virtuous king?"

The word "virtuous king" is quite interesting. You must know that the sage was also called the "virtuous king" at the beginning. As for the fourth prince who has been called the "virtuous king" now, the old man shook his head. There is no word "virtuous".

"What does the master think?" Gu Qingbai asked.

The old man didn't answer, but changed the subject and said, "Didn't your wife bring Sister Yuan to meet the Chen family boy, what does Sister Yuan think?"

"My wife just told me about it. Sister Yuan is not very happy." Before Gu Qingbai came to Qinghui Courtyard, he asked his wife about yesterday's flower viewing feast.

He thought that if his daughter liked the young master of the Chen family, it would be easy to handle, and he would simply reject the seventh prince, but he did not expect to get this response.

"Since Sister Yuan is not happy, that's fine. As for the Seventh Prince," the old man thought for a while, "Sister Yuan often goes to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen. I must have met the Seventh Prince. You can ask Sister Yuan for her opinion."

"But..." Gu Qingbai thought that his wife had mentioned to him that his daughter seemed to have special feelings for the Seventh Prince, "If Sister Yuan is willing, do you really want to accept this marriage?"

"Sister Yuan is as long as she is happy." The old man is open-minded, as long as his granddaughter is happy.

The forehead lines on Gu Qingbai's forehead appeared, "So, won't the family have to stand in line again?"

Because the family donated good seeds to become a marquis, the old man begged for bones to withdraw from the court, and then got off the prince's boat, but now, is it possible to stand in line again?

Gu Qingbai loves his daughter, but it is related to the family affairs, as the head of the family, he dare not take a step indiscriminately.

The old man shook his head, "The seventh prince is different from the prince."

"I'm afraid that he also has thoughts." Gu Qingbai was worried that Tu Mingjin would also want to fight for the supreme position and be born a prince. If he didn't have any ideas, Gu Qingbai would not believe it.

The old man didn't say anything about Tu Mingjin, but asked Gu Qingbai, "What do you think about the relationship between the crown prince and the Holy One?"

Gu Qingbai didn't know why the old man asked him, but he still said: "The Holy Majesty loves the prince very much, but it's different now."

"You're right, the emperor who is getting old, looking at his successor who is in full bloom, is naturally different from when he raised his children." The old man sighed, "Now it's just to see who can't help it."

"Then the Seventh Prince?" Gu Qingbai now wanted to know what the old man thought of the Seventh Prince.

"The age difference between the seventh prince and the previous princes is huge. When it really comes to that time, the situation will be very different." The old lady smiled, "You ask so many questions here, the most important thing you should ask is Sister Yuan?"

Gu Qingbai was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that the old man didn't care about the fact that his family was back in line.But then he thought about the current situation carefully, and it seemed that marrying his daughter to the Seventh Prince was not so bad.

"Okay, I'll go ask sister Yuan right now."

Gu Qingbai returned to the main courtyard, and said to his anxious wife: "Master asked us to ask sister Yuan's opinion."

When people came from the main courtyard, Gu Qinyuan was working as a female celebrity. Hearing that her parents had called her over, she asked Yun Zhui to put away the embroidery and went to the back room to change her clothes.

Yun Zhui looked at the green bamboo on the handkerchief when he was tidying up the embroidered tent, and then at the oil-paper umbrella with green bamboo painted on it by the wall, the umbrella sent by His Royal Highness, they hadn't put it away yet.
