Lady Wan Guan

After coming out of Fengzao Palace, Xiao Yan said frankly: "A Ning, this grace is for you and Gu Zhouding. It is given to you because I just want to thank you. Everything you have done deserves this respect." Rong, stop for Gu Zhou because I need him and the court needs him, and after all, he is too young and has little qualifications, so it is inevitable that some people in the court will be dissatisfied with him."

Xiao Yan's magnanimity moved Jiang Wanning. Xiao Yan ascended to the position of prince and took charge of the government, which represented that Daqi had entered a new era. He needed to restructure his ruling team, and Gu Zhouting was He wanted to reuse and rely on people, and he trusted Gu Zhouting wholeheartedly to support Gu Zhouting.

"Your Highness..."

"Huh? Why are you still calling him His Royal Highness?"

Jiang Wan Ning said sarcastically: "Brother Huang, Ah Ning understands. Thank you very much to my father and brother Huang for their grace."

I'm really not used to this new title.

Xiao Yan laughed heartily, and it felt good to have Jiang Wanning call him Emperor Brother.

"I heard that your father is coming to the capital, so the canonization ceremony will be held after your father comes."

"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the emperor."

Xiao Yan smiled with a hint of teasing: "I won't delay you anymore, I'm afraid someone is waiting impatiently."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan raised his chin toward the distance.

Jiang Wan Ning looked in the direction he indicated and saw Gu Zhou stopping in the distance and giving a distant salute.

"Go quickly." Xiao Yan urged.

Jiang Wan Ning's face was slightly red, she bowed and walked towards Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhouting smiled and took a few steps forward to greet her.

"My lord, I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Jiang Wanning made a arrogant gesture: "Does Mr. Gu look down on this princess? You can't kneel down and bow when we meet her."

"I'm sorry, I'm going to kneel now." Gu Zhouting accepted it humbly, lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt down.

Jiang Wan Ning hurriedly stopped him: "I'm kidding you, you really kneel down."

Gu Zhou stopped laughing and said: "You don't have to kneel down when you see the princess, my wife! If you ask me to kneel down, I will never stand up."

You can never spoil your own woman too much.

Jiang Wanning glared at him: "You are a newly promoted cabinet minister, a dignified prime minister, and you are not afraid of people's jokes."

"What are you afraid of? I, the prime minister, am afraid of hen, so why bother them?" Gu Zhouting said confidently.

Jiang Wan Ning was really afraid of him and quickly pulled him away.

After getting on the carriage, Gu Zhou stopped holding her hand and said, "A Ning, what do you think my mother said to me yesterday?"

"She knows that I am recognized as the adopted daughter by the Queen?"

"She doesn't know about this yet."

"Oh? What did she say?" Jiang Wanning didn't want to guess. No matter what Aunt Gu's attitude is, no one can separate her and Gu Zhouting.

But she still hopes to be sincerely accepted by Aunt Gu.

"She asked me to take you home. She must have compromised."

Jiang Wan Ning was a little surprised: "What did you do? Why did Auntie compromise?"

Gu Zhouting raised his lips slightly: "The mountain man has his own clever plan. However, I don't plan to take you to see her so soon. You should ignore me outside."

Jiang Wan Ning understood: "Isn't it bad for you to treat your mother like this?"

"I'm doing this for the sake of harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, peace of the family, and for the long-term." Well, it's impossible for Aunt Gu to fight against her scheming son. Jiang Wanning even sympathizes with Aunt Gu.

"When will your father and brother arrive? Is there a schedule?"

"I received a letter three days ago. They have arrived in Yangcheng. Calculating the itinerary, they can reach the capital in five days at most. However, this time it is a family trip with several children. It is hard to say when they will arrive. What? You Any arrangements?"

"That must be there." Gu Zhou stopped and said with a smile.

Although the things the future father-in-law did before were unreliable, and he spent a lot of money and sent his daughter into a pit of fire, he is still the father-in-law, and a son-in-law must show his respect.

"Don't do anything outrageous to scare him." Jiang Wan Ning warned.

"How is that possible? I will make him so satisfied that I have nothing to say."

Jiang Wanning cursed in her heart: I believe you.

After sending Jiang Wan Ning home, Gu Zhou stopped going to the Yamen and went straight home.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Gu Zhouting put on a lost look, and soon someone reported to Gu Lin's place.

"Mr. Lang didn't look very good. I secretly asked Xing Feng, and Xing Feng also sighed."

Gu Lin's heart tightened. Could it be that she had been angered in the court?

After all, Zhou Ding is too young. He is in a high position at a young age. There must be some people who are not convinced by him.

Mrs. Gu Lin hurriedly told Bao Qin: "Bring me a bowl of bird's nest porridge and go to Qiu Shuangzhai with me."

Qiu Shuangzhai is where Gu Zhouting's study is located.

When Mrs. Gu Lin came to Qiu Shuangzhai, she saw her son sitting there in a daze, as if he had not seen her arrival.

Baoqin put the bird's nest porridge on the table.

Mrs. Gu Lin came to her son's side and said softly: "Zhou Ting, what's going on? Who made you angry?"

Gu Zhouting blinked his eyes and sighed: "Mother, today the queen recognizes Wan Ning as her adopted daughter, and she will be named Princess of Chiayi. A canonization ceremony will be held soon to announce it to the world."

Gu Lin was surprised: "Didn't you refuse before?"

"Yes, but the Queen proposed it again, and His Highness the Crown Prince made it happen. From now on, she will be the princess."

"So...what's the matter between you and her?"

Gu Zhouting sighed again: "Actually, I know why she rejected me before. Forget it, let's not talk about it. In this life, I will sell myself to the emperor's family and be my prime minister. Nothing else. forget about it."

Gu Lin was panicking: "Son, what do you mean?"

Gu Zhouting looked at his mother with a look of disheartened Gujing Wubo: "Mom, please forgive me for being unfilial. In this life, you will never be able to have a grandchild. The child has decided not to marry for the rest of his life."

Gu Lin was anxious: "Didn't I already promise you to marry her?"

"But she won't agree to marry me. Originally, she wanted to be with me. I can feel it. At first, she didn't agree because she was worried about marrying the wrong person. Later, she didn't agree because she knew you wouldn't accept it. She, she doesn't want us, mother and son, to be unhappy because of her. Now that she has become a princess, there are countless people who want to marry her, and she doesn't want to enter a home that doesn't welcome her. "

"Why don't I accept her? I should be more cautious about marriage, shouldn't I think more about it?" Gu Lin argued.

"Miss Yao Er said it."

Gu Lin said depressedly: "Second Miss Yao is lying, don't you know it?"

"It's not necessarily a lie. You knew that Miss Yao Er had an agenda, yet you allowed her to come to your house every day to show your attentiveness. There is no airtight wall in this world. Madam Jiang is such a smart person. She knows the elegant meaning of a string song, but she still can't guess what you are. What are you thinking? She is a self-aware person, hey, this matter is difficult to handle. "

Gu Lin felt very regretful. She was short-sighted. How could she have thought that Jiang Wan Ning was so capable? She was so capable that the queen insisted on recognizing her as her adopted daughter.
