Chapter 184 Shared Seats (Extra Update for Xiaoxiang Tickets)

That’s such a pleasure!

As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up and there was a hint of calculation in her eyes, but she was quickly interrupted by her husband, Prince Fu.

"Princess, let's go and have dinner."

He also knew that his wife had just been humiliated repeatedly, so she must be unhappy at the moment.

That's why he spoke to ease the situation.

It can be said that Prince Fu has a personality similar to that of Duke Shang Yukuan.

It's just that because he is a member of the royal family and has the support of His Majesty, he naturally has more flatterers than the Duke.

But if you really think about it, it's nothing more than the glory of our fathers.

It has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, when Princess Fu was controlled by Shang Ji, he could not stand up, and when Princess Fu was alienated by the Crown Princess and Princess Yuehua, he also could not stand up.

Saying this now may seem a bit hindsight.

But Princess Fu knew what kind of person he was like a long time ago, so she was used to all this and had no reason to be angry or disappointed.

He stood up and followed Prince Fu to the flower hall.

The flower hall of the general's mansion was decorated today in a festive and decent manner.

Because it is built in the same way as a greenhouse, you will feel as warm as spring as soon as you come in here.

Everyone was a little curious, but they thought it was caused by a burning dragon.

There are so many royal guests, so naturally they have to be the guests of honor.

The rest were arranged according to their respective positions in the court, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Men and women sit at the same table.

When the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were about to take their seats, Old Madam Gu came out, supported by her third and fourth aunts.

As soon as he saw her coming, the prince walked over and asked with concern.

"Is the old lady okay?"

"Nothing, nothing, it's just a little problem that made the prince worried."

"What are you talking about? My mother cares about you more than me. If she wasn't busy with palace affairs, she would have come to congratulate you."

Hearing this, Princess Fu couldn't help but have some dissatisfaction flash across her eyes.

I wonder what kind of magic potion the Gu family gave to Empress Guo?

She had been married into the palace for more than ten years, which meant that Empress Guo's days were less than a month in total.

This also includes most of the palace banquets that must be attended.

It can be said that the two of them have no private interactions at all.

Princess Yuehua did take her to meet Queen Guo twice, but was dismissed by her with a neutral attitude.

Therefore, Princess Fu still felt that it was because of Queen Guo’s cold personality.

But now it seems that she is quite caring, isn't she? With Madam Gu here and the protagonist also here, the feast naturally began happily.

With the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess around, even if everyone had other thoughts in their minds like Princess Fu, they would not cause trouble at this time.

The Fourth Prince also wanted to make friends with Shang Ji, so naturally there would be no conflicts between them.

Therefore, the meal was a pleasant and comfortable one.

However, the Fourth Prince couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaolang twice more, and the meaning was self-evident.

Madam Gu and Du Jingyi were not blind, and they felt heavy in their hearts and did not think this was a good marriage.

Not to mention that they are now leaning towards the prince's faction, even if they are impartial, Gu Xiaolang cannot have anything to do with him.

The most important thing is that the Fourth Prince already has a wife.

If Gu Xiaolang entered the palace, she would at most be a concubine.

Considering the current situation of the Gu family, it is considered a bit of a high marriage, but Old Madam Gu would not agree to let her granddaughter become someone's concubine.

Even though a concubine is not considered a concubine, it is the same as if she can be included in the royal jade records.

Therefore, the Fourth Prince is not even a good match for her.

The two of them could see it, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess could see it too.

The couple looked at each other, and then glanced at the fourth son of the Prime Minister, Guo Ziyong.

At such a young age, he already held a seventh-rank position in the Ministry of Rites.

He is a man with a promising future. If he can marry the only daughter of the Gu family, it will be icing on the cake for both families.

Thinking of this, the prince's eyes turned to Prime Minister Guo.

Although Prime Minister Guo also had the idea of ​​winning over the merchants and the Gu family for the prince, he did not want his decades of friendship with Old Madam Gu to be rifted because of his grandchildren's marriage.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Therefore, I did not agree to it directly.

Seeing Prime Minister Guo's attitude, Madam Gu felt comforted.

Rights are important, but years of friendship are also important.

If Prime Minister Guo really asked for this for the sake of the crown prince, then even if Guo Ziyong was an excellent choice, he would be considered a non-choice in her eyes.

She has no children or grandchildren now, only this one granddaughter.

If even her marriage has to be used as a bargaining chip to help this person or to bind that person, then she is a terrible grandmother.

So in Mrs. Gu’s mind, it is better to let her granddaughter choose for herself.

During a meal, those who understand will appreciate the ways of the world, while those who don’t will naturally enjoy the delicious aroma of the food.

After dinner, I went to the back mountain to see the ice sculptures and snow piles out of interest.

Everyone praised the excellent craftsmanship of these masters, and at the same time gained some new insights into Mrs. Du, the wife of the general's mansion.

At least it can be seen that he is a very smart person with clever ideas and insights, and he is highly valued by the Gu family and Shang Ji.

Therefore, Du Jingyi, who was not much cared about in the Duke's Mansion, has now become a hot commodity.

Everyone rushed to give a few compliments.

"Young Madam is really capable. She was able to find a master like this."

"Thank you ma'am, it's just some tricks, just watch for fun."

"Young Madam, there is no need to be modest. Just now when I was in the flower hall, I was a little curious. I didn't see any charcoal burning, nor did I see any ground heating, but the room was warm and comfortable. What's going on?"

After a lady spoke up, many others followed suit.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing stood up and praised Du Jingyi fiercely.

"I'm not saying this, this kid is really a treasure. Our Liu Lang found him. This flower hall is different from the other flower halls. It was built in a different way, so it's so comfortable to stay in it in the winter. Several courtyards in the general's mansion also have built-ins. Compared with charcoal burning and ground heating, it's much better."

She already had prestige among the ladies, and after she spoke like this, everyone became even more curious.

"What special construction method? I've never heard of it."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi knew that business was coming.

So, he smiled and started talking.

"The bricklayers were found by Madam Dou. They had some blueprints for building the greenhouse. I saw them and thought they were pretty good, so I asked them to rush to build a few. I didn't expect them to be really comfortable, so I modified the flower hall as well."

"Otherwise, if we gather here to eat in the winter, the food will get cold quickly and we will lose our appetite."

It's the end of the month~~~ I hope sisters will vote more~~ Thank you all~~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
