The Xingnan delegation stayed in Da Zhou for half a month. Before leaving, the emperor held another banquet.
He was so happy! The Gu family's two daughters had saved him a lot of money to buy horses.
The emperor and his courtiers warmly welcomed Princess Xingnan and Prince Xingnan to come again, as they all enjoyed seeing the brother and sister.
Xingnan and his sister were so flattered that they completely forgot they had lost so many warhorses and would have to stay at the horse farm for at least half a year when they got back.
In the past two weeks, the brother and sister have been tricked by officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, who charged them exorbitant prices for tea.
The ministers of Xingnan were all in despair. They vowed to tell the king when they returned to Xingnan that they would not send the little princess and the little prince again next time.
In the eyes of Xingnan's ministers, the ten-year-old princess and prince were more reliable than these two.
After seeing off the Xingnan delegation, the emperor had not yet chosen someone to take over in Kuncheng, so he could only temporarily let the Peng family manage the area.
He was preoccupied with his own troubles, so he didn't care about the feud between the two princesses and their street fight, even though the Gu family was involved. He just wanted to know that the Gu sisters hadn't suffered any losses.
Hearing that Prince Kang and Duke Cheng'en had found new amusement, he felt envious while reminding himself that once he was done with his work, he would call the two of them to the palace and give them a good scolding.
Family-oriented.
Gu Xin discovered that her sister seemed to have reverted to the state she was in before the time she drank alcohol.
She was smiling and didn't seem to know anything was wrong, but she just felt something was off.
Gu Xin still remembers that her sister especially liked to fight and beat people up in the past two years. Since she was made angry by Li Muyan in the first half of the year, her whole person has changed and she no longer uses violence.
In the past, when she practiced martial arts, she would call on her sisters to slack off together or play pranks on Enzi. Now she practices obediently and doesn't play pranks on Enzi anymore.
Not to mention Gu Xin, even Enzi got used to it after a while.
Everyone except the eldest son's simple-minded parents could see the change in Gu Nian.
That day, Gu Hui went to the Peng family. General Peng was about to go to Kuncheng. Gu Hui had already obtained the consent of her grandparents and second uncle. Now she just needed General Peng to agree. She couldn't give up.
Having stayed in the capital for so long, she found it increasingly meaningless, so she was determined to leave.
Especially after hearing her mother talk about her finding a boyfriend every day, she felt even more that she should go to Kuncheng, otherwise, her mother would bother her to death sooner or later.
Not long after Gu Hui left, her family received an invitation from the Kang Prince's Mansion. It was from Princess Jinghe, inviting the Gu sisters to visit the villa together.
Gu Xin thought that Gu Nian was cooped up at home every day, so she might as well go out and have some fun. She then asked the maid in the house to wait for Gu Hui at the Peng family's house and bring Gu Hui there in a little while.
After the three sisters finished getting ready, they said goodbye to their family and boarded the princess's carriage.
They weren't used to having maids with them yet; wherever they went, the sisters would go together.
Gu Nian originally didn't want to go, but thinking about her family's worried looks, she decided to go and have some fun!
After the carriage left, Bai Jiu found a horse and chased after it. He was secretly protecting Gu Xin. Usually, when traveling by carriage, he would ride a horse to follow, so others wouldn't be able to tell that he was following Gu Xin.
The villas were all outside the city. After arriving in the capital, the girls had never actually left the city. They opened the window and looked at the scenery outside. A gentle breeze blew in, and they felt much more comfortable.
Bai Jiu followed at a distance, observing the various princes' villas along the carriage route. Then, he dismounted and went to find the most suitable location within the Kang Prince's villa for covert protection.
