Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

There were only two of them in the carriage, so Gu Zhao didn't have such a good temper and kicked Chen Jue directly on the calf.

"Is it possible to say this casually?"

"There are no outsiders now, what's wrong with me? Am I still afraid that a prince like him will retaliate against me in the future?" Chen Jue rubbed his calves and said aggrievedly: "I've known them since we opened our crotch pants. Say they Two sentences are not enough?"

"One is a prince and the other is a prince. No matter which one has a chance to win the ceremony, who can know what the outcome will be until the last moment?"

With Lin Miaofu's reminder, Gu Zhao was very concerned about the eldest prince. If the prince really didn't have that fate, then they, the nobles, would have to lead the eldest prince's men to earn a living. Those who look down on him now will not be able to make a living in the future. There is no good fruit to eat.

"Brother Qianjun, what do you mean?"

Chen Jue blinked and recognized the worry in Gu Zhao's words.

He also showed a look of fear.

His Brother Qianjun never takes aim without aim. He must have seen some clues to have such worries.

"Did something happen to the prince's brother? Do you think His Majesty will be angry? We can't watch like this."

Chen Jue became a little anxious and made a random guess: "Is it because of this trip to Fragrant Mountain that my uncle blamed the prince's brother? No, I have to go and tell my aunt. This matter has nothing to do with the prince!"

The corner of Gu Zhao's mouth turned up slightly, and he patted Chen Jue on the shoulder: "When will you change your character? Why do you say that wind is like rain?"

"Before a major event is decided, you have to think more. Why did you just think about it..."

"Is it really okay?"

"Really, if something happened, wouldn't I tell you?"

"You lied." Chen Jue pouted angrily: "Aren't you just like the prince brother? You hide everything from me and think I am not useful."

"The eldest prince is the same. He would rather leave the matter to my cousin than let me help. You all look down on me."

"You said that the prince has a relationship with your cousin? I remember, hasn't he been out in the field these past few years?" Gu Zhao was suddenly startled and asked: "What's going on? Please tell me carefully."

"Yeah, didn't I tell you about what happened in the past two years?" Chen Jue touched his head, his memory was a little confused.

"I remember that before the errand was left outside his door, the prince sent someone over to ask him to see if there were any good calligraphy and paintings in the local area. If there were any good calligraphy and paintings, he would buy them for him, that's all."

"Your cousin is staying in...Liuzhou?"

"Yes, there are many literati in that place. Even ordinary people have a few genuine works in their hands."

Chen Jue looked at Gu Zhao suspiciously: "Brother Qianjun, you look very bad. Are you really okay?"

"It's okay." Gu Zhao clenched his fists hard.

I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

The eldest prince laid the plan much earlier than he thought.

I'm afraid that my love for collecting calligraphy and paintings is also fake. Maybe it's just a way to get close to those literati and get them to support me.

At this moment, Gu Zhao really hoped to see Lin Miaofu immediately.

Maybe there were other details in his dream that he could tell himself, giving him more leverage against the eldest prince.

When we arrived at Lin Mansion, the sky was getting a little dark.

Dishes have been put on the table, all of which are delicacies with Yangzhou characteristics, as well as several specialty dishes that Lin Miaofu ordered from the restaurant.

The table is placed in the flower hall, and the wind blows over, bringing waves of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, adding a homely atmosphere.

"Today, regardless of status, only seniority and youth are discussed." Lin Miaofu was the first to speak. Gu Zhao nodded: "We are just juniors, we don't have any heirs or marquises."

The two of them saluted Father Lin and Mother Lin very solemnly and received a big red seal.

"It was too late when Fu'er came back to tell us, so we could only prepare these temporary greeting gifts. Don't dislike it, you two."

Mother Lin smiled very gently.

Chen Jue's eyes were a little moist.

He hurriedly invited them to sit down and introduced the dishes to them: "These dishes are from our restaurant. You should have eaten them. These were prepared by Shuangyue and I under the guidance of my mother-in-law. They were not made by the cook. !”

"It's so nice to bother the elders." Chen Jue was a little restrained. He had no experience in getting along with elders. Except for the queen and concubine in the palace, he didn't have any other elders.

And those two people are in high positions, and they have to be careful about everything they say and do.

I realized I didn’t know how to get along with these ordinary people.

"Isn't it that I'm not good at cooking? I have to be guided by my mother-in-law before I dare to serve it to you. Otherwise, you..." Before Lin Miaofu could finish her words, she laughed to herself: "I This is my first time cooking, so you have to show some respect before finishing the meal."

Gu Zhao did not speak, but glanced at Lin Miaofu.

Chen Jue didn't know whether to take chopsticks or not, and he was a little dazed.

Father Lin muttered in a low voice: "This is the first time for me to eat the food cooked by my daughter. It just makes it easier for these two boys."

Mother Lin kicked him under the table, and he calmed down and greeted the two guests to eat.

The atmosphere became lively in an instant. People started to pour wine and people started to serve food.

Although it is not really delicious, it is better because of the harmonious atmosphere.

Gu Zhao didn't drink much, but Chen Jue was drunk.

Jiang Feng asked him to help him go to the side room to rest, but he just shouted that he would live here in the future and never go back.

Gu Zhao and Lin Miaofu took a slow walk in the small garden. When they were tired, Lin Miaofu sat on the swing.

"You seem to have something to say to me." Lin Miaofu also drank a little wine, with a slight blush on her face and misty eyes, which made people have the urge to bully her. .

"Ah Jue accidentally reminded me of something today, which made me feel a little uneasy."

Lin Miaofu leaned on the swing and said with a smile: "I'm just saying, you don't seem to be in a good mood, it turns out you have something hidden in your heart."

After saying this, he suddenly had a speculative and uneasy expression: "You won't blame me for dragging you over for dinner."

"How is that possible?" Gu Zhao immediately explained: "I know your intention."

"You know? Then tell me."

Lin Miaofu's eyes suddenly brightened, and she stared at Gu Zhao, insisting that he tell him how ugly he was.

"Ah Jue rarely shows sincerity to others. I can see how good he is to you today." Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Maybe you don't feel it yourself, but I know that he sincerely accepts you. I’d also like to talk to you more.”

"Well, you seem to know something."

"So you brought the cakes you made to the second princess, but you didn't prepare them for him."

"That's right." Lin Miaofu wrinkled her nose: "You said what pastries you two big boys eat, it sounds outrageous..."
