Queen is fearless

Chapter 576 The smell of gunpowder

The four eyes met, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Even though Prince Xun Xiao has been avoiding Yuning during this time, it doesn't mean he approves of Gu Anzhi.

The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time until...

"Gu Anzhi, boy of the Xun family, what are you two doing?" Yuning and Jin Jiu washed their faces by the river, and when they were walking back, they saw Gu Anzhi and Prince Xun.

Jin Jiu glanced at Yuning, and greeted the two of them.

"It's nothing. Seeing that you are going to the river, I am not at ease, so I want to go and have a look."

Gu Anzhi withdrew his gaze, glanced at Yuning, and then responded.

"Then what are you two standing here looking at? I thought you were going to fight."

Although Jin Jiu will marry Gu Shenzhi, Gu Anzhi will be called "big brother" at that time, but right now, the two have not yet married, and Gu Anzhi is responsible for escorting the marriage team of Jin to the capital, so he has to call her "Eldest Princess".

"Even if you want to fight, you should go back to the capital and find a chance to learn from each other. Let's forget it on the way."

Gu Anzhi looked at Prince Xun, smiled and said, this is a fight with Prince Xun.

"Okay, when I get to the capital, if I have the opportunity, I would like to learn from you." Prince Xun's skill is good, but in front of Gu Anzhi, it may not be so.

But right now, in front of Jin Jiu and Yuning, it is impossible for him to show timidity.

Yuning looked at the two of them, and sighed helplessly in her heart, she should find a chance to chat with Lord Xun Xiao.

The four of them headed back to the place where they stayed. They didn't speak any more on the way, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

When they got back to the place where they stayed, Yuning accompanied Jin Jiu to see Xiao Man, and had to reprimand him a few words.

If it wasn't for Jin Jiu, how could Gu Anzhi have given the challenge to Prince Xun Xiao?

Jin Jiu had been at the border before, so she should be aware of Gu Anzhi's strength. She is more familiar with Prince Xun Xiao, so she should know that if the two meet, Prince Xun Xiao has little chance of winning.

"If these two people don't have a heart-to-heart contest, how can the Xun family boy be willing in his heart?"

"He has been avoiding you all this time, but it doesn't mean he approves of Gu Anzhi."

Even if there are times when you know that you are not as good as the opponent, you still have to compete in person, and only when you really lose to the opponent can you be willing.

This is true for everyone, and Prince Xun Xiao is no exception. Besides, he is considered a noble person in the Jin Kingdom, and he has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child.

As the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Jin Jiu has a more noble status, and she can understand the mood of Prince Xun Xiao.

When she said this, Yuning stopped talking. In this respect, she was indeed not as transparent as Jin Jiu.

After a night's rest, the team continued to move forward. Several times, Yuning wanted to find a chance to talk to Prince Xun Xiao, but was hindered by various things.

Sometimes Prince Xun Xiao deliberately hid, and sometimes it was because of Gu Anzhi's appearance.

After July, and into August, it seems to be a little cooler than in July, but only in the morning and evening, and it is still very hot at noon.

In August, there will be a palace banquet in the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Concubine Hui and Lian Zhaoyi will make arrangements for any matters.

There were two times when Concubine Hui went to Fengyang Palace and wanted to say something she had always wanted to say but couldn't.

But it was always because of one reason or another, and until now, I haven't been able to say it.

"Sister Jiang seems to have something on her mind?" Lian Zhaoyi often stayed with Concubine Hui to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, and when she saw her in a daze, she asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Concubine Hui came back to her senses, her eyes flickered, seeing her like this, Lian Zhaoyi changed the subject and talked about something else.

Concubine Hui was relieved. She was worried before that Lian Zhaoyi would question herself.

In the harem, the situation was as usual, perhaps because it was cooler in the morning and evening, and Gu Jinzhi's appetite was better than before.

This made everyone heave a sigh of relief, as long as she wanted to eat and could eat, they would prepare it for her immediately, hoping that she would eat more.

As the months get bigger and bigger, Gu Jinzhi wakes up more often at night, and Zhou Jing insists on staying with her in Fengyang Palace, waking up several times a night is inevitable.

Although he was moved and felt a little bit sorry, Gu Jinzhi knew that even if he told Zhou Jing to move to the side hall for the time being, he would not agree.

Fortunately, in another month or so, he will give birth, and then he won't have to work so hard.

There are still two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and because Concubine Hui is not feeling well, Lian Zhaoyi came to Fengyang Palace alone to report the progress of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet with Gu Jinzhi.

Everything that should be prepared has already been prepared. Whether it is Concubine Hui or even Zhaoyi, it is not the first time to prepare a palace banquet. Even if she does not come to report to Gu Jinzhi, she is at ease.

"I always feel that during this time, sister Jiang seems to have something on her mind. I tried to ask, but she didn't want to say it, and I can't force it."

All the things that were going to be reported, were all reported, even Zhaoyi thought about it, and said to Gu Jinzhi.

When she said this, Gu Jin was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the few times when Concubine Hui came to Fengyang Palace before, she was hesitant to speak.

She had Qingluan check it out, and there was nothing special about it, so she couldn't know what Concubine Hui had on her mind.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will find a chance to chat with her." Looking at Lian Zhaoyi, Gu Jinzhi responded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's physical condition is not bad recently, is it?" Seeing Gu Jin's response, Lian Zhaoyi was relieved, she hesitated for a moment, and spoke again.

Unexpectedly, Lian Zhaoyi would suddenly mention the emperor, and Gu Jinzhi knew that she had absolutely no interest in the emperor.

Presumably, it was because he saw that the emperor's complexion was not good and he was thinner before, so he asked a few more questions.

"Don't worry, the emperor has been in good physical condition recently, much stronger than before, probably Yun Zheng's new prescription has played a good role."

Some time ago, whether it was the emperor's figure or his complexion, it was obvious that he was not as good as before. During this time, he seemed to be slowly recovering.

"That's good. I met the emperor before. I saw that my complexion was not good, and I was a little less popular. So if I ask this question, please don't take offense."

Secretly relieved, Lian Zhaoyi explained to Gu Jinzhi, as if she was afraid that she might misunderstand something.

"I know about it." Gu Jinzhi nodded with a smile. If Lian Zhaoyi had any other thoughts about the emperor, he already had it, so why wait until now?

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, should I ask it or not?" Seeing the smile on the Queen's face, Lian Zhaoyi gritted her teeth, got up and saluted her.

Unexpectedly, Lian Zhaoyi would be like this, Gu Jinzhi was a little surprised, "If you have anything to say, just ask, sit down and talk, why is it so solemn?"

Lian Zhaoyi has always been very comfortable in front of her, like now, which is very rare.

Gu Jinzhi looked at her, waiting for her to speak again, wondering what she wanted to ask himself?
