"The young master is back," Anxiang said from outside the warm curtain, and the two sisters immediately shut up.

Gu Chengyan returned from outside.

The imperial court closed its doors on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Gu Chengyan had been glued to Guan Yingying's side every day. He originally came back today intending to use Xie Xiangxiang to send a message to Xie Tingting, but he didn't expect to see the person he was looking for right in front of him when he returned to Fanghua Garden.

"Third Sister is here?" Gu Chengyan greeted her warmly, saying, "Third Sister, your good news is coming soon, congratulations!"

Xie Tingting was shocked. She and Liu Zekun had not exchanged birth certificates, so how did Gu Chengyan know?

"Brother-in-law, you're joking. What's there to be happy about?"

"The Crown Prince is selecting a consort, and my third sister is on the list. She is very likely to become the Crown Princess and the future Empress. This is a wonderful thing. Didn't your father-in-law tell you?" Gu Chengyan said, feigning surprise.

He knew Xie Anfeng wouldn't tell Xie Tingting. Since Xie Anfeng was unwilling to take sides, the Crown Prince forced him to.

Gu Chengyan felt that Xie Anfeng might not be willing to give Xie Tingting to the Crown Prince, but Xie Tingting would definitely be willing to marry the Crown Prince.

Once the Third Uncle becomes the Crown Prince's brother-in-law, whether he likes it or not, he will automatically be part of the Crown Prince's faction. His Majesty will be isolated and helpless, and will naturally become the late Emperor sooner or later.

The Crown Prince is addicted to the Panacea. If he ascends the throne, Guan Yingying can overturn the case, and he himself can easily gain wealth and honor.

In fact, Gu Chengyan would prefer his younger sister to become the Crown Princess or a concubine. Unfortunately, his two younger sisters were disappointing. The fact that they were sold into prostitution was spread, causing no one to marry any of the girls in the family.

Of all the women in this talent show, not a single daughter of the Marquis's family made the list.

Xie Tingting was truly stunned; she had actually been chosen as the Crown Princess?

This is like finding a soft pillow when you're sleepy!
