Chapter 97 What's the matter? (Pink 120+)

(Thank you for your support, and thank you for Xiaohuihui's He Shibi! Seeing everyone's support, the fatigue of the day's work seems to be gone, thank you dear friends!)
Gu Yan held back the astonishment in his heart, and greeted the third prince Zhu Xuanming calmly.This third prince, later Prince Ming, and later the rebel at the beginning of the third year really made her feel mixed.

With such a dragon and a phoenix appearance, so strong and confident, it's no wonder Qin Ji is willing to set up the entire Chengguo mansion. How can such a noble man not make people fall in love with him?
Speaking carefully, Gu Yan's own hatred has nothing to do with the third prince in front of him.But this person was the chief culprit of Lu Yun's tragic death in the previous life.Thinking of this, Gu Yan lowered his head, fearing that he could not help but look at him with hatred.

When Zhu Xuanming heard the maid said that this was a girl from Gu Zhan's family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he remembered who she was.Not long ago, he had only heard about this girl from Qin Ji. Qin Ji said that she could know the future and judge good or bad. He seemed to have a different arrangement for her.

For this kind of nonsense, Zhu Xuanming originally laughed it off, but after hearing that the Ninth Prince was tied up and escaped from danger, he felt that it was ridiculous or reasonable.When the ninth brother met those grand and secret works, he was able to turn danger into good fortune. Coincidentally, when he turned good luck, this girl was by his side, which somewhat made Zhu Xuanming think a little bit.

However, even if he had any ideas, in this palace, under the watchful eyes of the maids, as an adult prince, he couldn't do anything.What's more, what he was afraid of was that what he said would cause trouble. Even if Gu Yan had some skills, Zhu Xuanming still didn't think she was qualified to enter the third prince's residence, no matter if she was the main concubine or side concubine.

But he still stared at Gu Yan, just so much, as if he was judging something, and he had no intention of letting Fu and Gu Yan leave as soon as possible, which made Fu a little impatient: The third highness seems to be blocking the way, but the leading lady He didn't say anything to remind him, and Mrs. Fu was too embarrassed to say anything.

On the way to the palace gate, the third prince and Gu Yan just looked at each other and bowed their heads.

"I have seen His Highness the Third Prince, and I am going to Zichen Hall, can I go with His Highness?" Just as the Third Prince was looking at Gu Yan, a voice came in and said.

This sound sounds like the sound of gold and stone colliding. It is clear and inviolable, and it seems to have a biting cold air. This is... Shen Du!
Gu Yan looked up at the source of the sound and saw Shen Du with a pleasant smile on his face, wearing a crimson official uniform, and the whitebait bag on his waist was still motionless.This is the standard configuration of Shen Du in Gu Yan's impression, so it can be seen that he is on duty now.on duty?Shouldn't it be in Zhongshu Province?How come here?

Gu Yan looked at Shen Du suspiciously, how could he appear here by such a coincidence?It seems that it has been waiting here for a long time.

She was right, Shen Du had indeed been waiting here for a long time.He knew from the Ninth Prince that Gu Yan was called into the palace today, so he found a reason to patrol around the palace gate.From the moment Fu Shi and Gu Yan entered the palace, Shen Du saw them, but they didn't show up.
It wasn't until seeing that the third prince seemed to be blocking their way that Shen Du couldn't help appearing in order to rescue them.

She was a little fatter than the last time I saw her, unlike Qing Qing in Chibi Courtyard, this time her dress was grand and luxurious, in Shen Du's view, she had a different flavor, and she still felt that she was just looking at her. Xinyue, let Shen Du find it hard to restrain himself.

Just to see her once, just to see her again - this is Shen Du's idea of ​​appearing in the palace gate, but when he saw that the third prince seemed to have other thoughts about her, Shen Du couldn't help but walk over.

Zhu Xuanming glanced at Shen Du, said with a smile on his face: "Naturally, His Highness would like to go with Master Shen." After that, he turned sideways, as if he was really waiting for Shen Du to go together, and at the same time Yehe, Fu Shi and Gu Yan nodded slightly, motioning them to leave.

Zhu Xuanming has always wanted to win over Shen Du. At such a young age, Shen Du is already an important minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and he also leads the position of Huben Zhonglang. He has both civil and military skills. This is a rare talent. , Of course I hope Shen Du can support him.

Zhu Xuanming wanted to win over Shen Du because of Shen Su behind Shen Du.Shen Su is the teacher of Emperor Chongde, and has a great influence on Emperor Chongde. If Shen Su is only the third prince's residence, then the overall situation will be more certain. The candidate for the heir is none other than himself.

This is Zhu Xuanming's idea. He just hates Shen Du's performance of being a pure minister. The Shen family is usually not allowed to enter. It is rare that Shen Du is mainly showing favor now. Zhu Xuanming has no reason not to seize the opportunity ?

Shen Du smiled slightly, passed Gu Yan sideways, and walked towards Zichen Hall together with Zhu Xuanming, as if he had never seen Gu Yan.

It's just that on the way to Zichen Palace, Shen Du always thought of the swallow with flowers on her head and the jade comb on her back, and the jade swallow seemed to fly into his heart.Thinking of this, Shen Du's face darkened a little.

"I don't know when Mr. Shen will take a rest. Why don't His Highness set up a banquet in Dingyuan Building? Can Mr. Shen make time to attend?" Ignoring Shen Du's sinking expression, Zhu Xuanming said, trying to get closer to Shen Du.

Dingyuan Building is the most prosperous and famous restaurant in Jingzhao. It is much higher grade than Yizui Building and Chunhui Building.Zhu Xuanming held a banquet in Dingyuan Building, which shows the importance he attaches to Shen Du.

It's a pity that Shen Du doesn't have much interest in Dingyuan Building, where the gold and jade are paved with incomparable magnificence, but Shen Du feels panicked when he sees it.Immediately, he seemed embarrassed and said: "Recently, I have been busy with affairs, and there are several edicts that need to be drafted. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

After hearing these words, Zhu Xuanming thought of Zhu Xuanzhi for some reason. He vaguely heard that Zhu Xuanzhi and Shen Du got very close recently.The Shen family wouldn't be interested in such a fat man, would they?Immediately, he denied his own thoughts, how could people like Shen Su and Shen Du, who are not good at anything, support the ninth brother?Even thinking about it is impossible!
"Since that's the case, His Highness will wait for Mr. Shen to be free. Please remember, Mr. Shen, that Mr. Shen is always welcome at the banquet in Dingyuan Building." Zhu Xuanming said with a pun.After all, without waiting for Shen Du to answer, he strode into Zichen Hall.

Being courteous to the virtuous and virtuous corporal does not mean that he is self-deprecating. Zhu Xuanming is very accurate in this measure.He firmly believes that sooner or later, Shen Du will take refuge in him, as long as Shen Du is not a fool.

How could Shen Du be a fool?In fact, he is very familiar with everything about Zhu Xuanming.Shen Du knows the relationship between the Third Prince's Mansion and Cheng Guo Gong's Mansion, and the relationship between the Third Prince and Xiangyang Wei General Luo Bingguang.

It is because of knowing too clearly that it is impossible for Shen Du to take a step closer to the Third Prince's Mansion.

Shen Du thought about the matters related to the Third Prince's Mansion, and gradually felt his heart flutter down, and the pain of seeing Gu Yan lessened.

Recently, there were no major affairs in the court, so Shen Du was much more relaxed. Either he went to Ye Ran's Zuihonglou today, or he went to drink with He Zhen and others from Zhongshu Province tomorrow. In this way, he spent less time in Shen's house.

On this day, Shen Du went back to Shen's house with a little drunk, just like socializing in the past.As soon as he entered the South Garden, he heard Ru Nian say: "Master, the old man invites you to go to the East Garden."

Shen Su told people early in the morning that if Shen Du came back, no matter how late he would go to the East Garden, Ru Nian had this report.

Shen Du thought that Shen Su had something important to discuss with the court, so he simply washed his face and hurried to the East Garden.On the way, he was wondering why Shen Su was looking for him, but he never expected that Shen Su would ask about Xiaoquan.
"When will that little thing come again? I miss it quite a bit." Shen Su said, the tone of nostalgia did not match the cold expression on his face.

Small things naturally refer to Xiaoquan, and Shen Su is asking about Xiaoquan.

"It won't be able to come for a while. When His Highness the Ninth Prince was tied up, its paws were injured. I don't know if it has recovered." Shen Du was stunned for a while before replying in detail.
When he was in South Garden, Ru Nian asked him to come to East Garden no matter how late it was, but he didn't expect it was for Xiaoquan.Thinking of Xiaoquan, Shen Du couldn't help thinking of its owner, Gu Yan, and felt a bit of bitterness inexplicably.

During this period of time, he can increase a lot of social activities, but he just doesn't want to free up his time, lest he think wildly, but it doesn't seem to have much effect.
When Shen Du heard what Shen Su said next, his heart couldn't help shaking, and he looked at Shen Su in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
"What's going on with you and the girl from the Gu family? I looked at you as if I wanted to avoid you, why?" Shen Su asked with a very serious face, obviously he really wanted to know the reason.

Shen Du was dumb, and Chibiyuan's pain at that time came to the surface. He was not a weak person, but at that time, and at this moment, he did not want Gu Yan to be hurt because of him.

Far away, no harm, that's fine.

"Father, my background..." Shen Su didn't finish his sentence, but Shen Su was very clear about the meaning.
"I don't know what the reason is. You seem to be drowning your sorrows with alcohol recently. It turns out that it is because of this inexplicable idea! By the way, have you been frightened by Dasheng's secret work recently? Why is your mind stuffed with grass? Too confused !" Shen Su sneered, and finally sneered, as if Shen Du was really stupid at the moment.

Well?What does father mean by this?Shen Du looked at Shen Su in confusion, not understanding what he was referring to.

"What kind of stupid idea is this? Even if your background is exposed, how do you know that the girl from the Gu family is not willing to bear the burden with you? It may not necessarily lead to disaster. Isn't it ridiculous that you look forward and backward? It's unnecessary!" In Shen Su's tone, as if he hated iron but steel, he scolded Shen Du all over his head and face.

Seeing that Shen Du was still in a daze and didn't understand what he was referring to, Shen Su sighed suddenly and said lazily: "I have always had doubts as a father, and I often think that if I could meet the girl I like when I was young , I want to be with her again no matter how difficult it is. However, I don’t have this blessing, and this is one of my lifelong regrets.”

Shen Su's sparse words, like a morning bell, struck Shen Du's heart, making him jingle.

"Since you have such a blessing, why don't you know how to cherish it?" Shen Su said, his voice still weak.

That night, Shen Du was in the bamboo forest of the Shen family, he didn't know what he was thinking, and stayed up all night.

And Gu Yan, who he was thinking about and worrying about, suddenly remembered a big event after he came out of the palace.
