Chapter 268 Marry Her If You Like Her

However, few of the guests here were worthy of her greeting, until she saw Prime Minister Dou Qin.

Lord Dou is here too.

Zhao Ying walked over leisurely and said with a smile, "Prime Minister, do you think I'm a good daughter-in-law?"

Dou Qin was a little surprised.

Although the Emperor treats meritorious service well, he will not come in person to pay his respects. The Grand Princess is also a royal relative, yet she came today. Is it because of Queen Yong'an's great honor?

"I have met the Grand Princess, the Fourth Miss. She is indeed very good. The Grand Princess has found a good daughter-in-law."

The corners of Zhao Yingqiao's mouth curled up even more. She refused the tea brought by the servants of the Marquis' Mansion and stood up and said, "Where is Su Jin? I'll go find her."

Dou Qin: ...

I see. This person is here to find Su Jin. It can only be said that the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion is nothing. Su Jin's reputation is really big.

But it's understandable.

Dou Qin pinched his beard and watched the Grand Princess's back as she left. Then, someone reported that Prince Rui had arrived.

Dou Qin: ...

? ?

Why is Prince Rui here too?

Could it be that the emperor still values ​​the Yong'an Marquisate? But if so, why is Gu Changqing still a seventh-rank official?

While they were hesitating, everyone stood up and saluted. Zhao Jingyu was dressed in a white robe. The solemn white color flowed lightly and smoothly under the sun, highlighting his noble aura.

Zhao Jingyu nodded and didn't say much to the guests. After all, these people were not worthy of him speaking actively, until Zhao Jingyu saw Dou Qin.

So, like Zhao Yingqiao, he walked forward and exchanged a few words of greeting.

"Prime Minister Dou!"

"Your Majesty!"

"My royal brother is busy with state affairs, so I am here on his behalf."

After exchanging a few pleasantries and lighting incense, Prince Rui stopped a servant and asked, "Where is Miss Su Liu?"

"I will take the prince there."

Then, Prince Rui also left.

Dou Qin's hand, which was pinching his beard, suddenly stopped.

He seemed to suddenly understand something.

Now that I have figured it out, everything that didn't make sense before seems to make sense now.

For example, why did the emperor suddenly give Su Jin the position of sixth-rank Siyuan? What's more coincidental is that on the same day that Gu Changqing was demoted, one was demoted to the seventh rank and the other was promoted to the sixth rank almost at the same time.

Dou Qin continued stroking his beard, sighing and shaking his head.

There are many tricks involved here!

Prime Minister Dou is very smart. He sees everything but doesn't say it out loud.

As for Su Jin's side, it was very lively.

The eldest princess is a royal relative, so Zou must accompany her. However, Zhao Yingqiao only talked to Su Jin and didn't even pay attention to her, the old lady. Zou sat for a while and felt bored. Zhao Yingqiao stood up and chased her away, asking Zou to take charge of the situation. Zou had to leave.

Then, Prince Rui came again. Zhao Yingqiao smiled meaningfully at Zhao Jingyu, which made Zhao Jingyu secretly embarrassed, but since he was already here, he could only bite the bullet and sit down and talk with him.

Su Jin couldn't sit for long. After all, she came here under the pretext of poor health. After talking for a while, she went back home. The important thing was that she came, which gave herself a decent look.

Su Jin turned around and left, and his favorability level was maxed out.

When she left, Zhao Yingqiao also left. With his aunt in front, Zhao Jingyu was too shy to come out with her. He sat for a while, and when he thought the time was about right, he left.

When Gu Zhao passed away, almost everyone in the court came, even Xie Huaiguang came to pay his respects. No matter what Gu Changqing was like, Gu Zhao was, after all, a brave general admired by the late emperor, who had devoted his life to the Great Zhou.

However, everyone also understood that the Marquisate used to be able to rely on the old Marquis for support, but now that the old Marquis was gone, the Marquisate was really going to be finished.

Firstly, the successor has not been decided yet, and no one knows when the emperor will take back this huge Duke's Mansion.

Gu family, you won’t be able to live here for much longer.

People were talking in low voices, but Gu Changqing didn't think much of it. He had been born here since he was a child, and he felt that even if his father was gone, the emperor would not take back the house, after all, his old mother was still alive. Besides, the emperor had to pretend to be good and show others how he treated meritorious people well.

Gu Changqing was fearless, and Lin Wanhui was still jumping around.

Gu Sui Yu is only in charge of today. After today, she will still be in charge of the Marquis' Mansion.

But what Lin Wanhui didn’t know was that she might not be able to jump around for much longer.

The old lady is going to deal with her seriously this time.

On the other side, Zhao Jingyu hurriedly left Yong'an Marquis Mansion and wanted to go directly to Su Jin's mansion, because he heard that Su Jin was sick and was very worried.

So he ordered Zhuifeng to go directly to Su Mansion, but he ran into Zhao Yingqiao outside an alley of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

The eldest princess was obviously waiting for him, so Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to get out of the car and bow, "Aunt."

"Um."

Zhao Yingqiao opened the curtain and said, "Come up, I have something to tell you."

My aunt has something to say, and as a nephew, I have no choice but to obey. Zhao Jingyu climbed onto the carriage, sat in, and listened respectfully to the Grand Princess's lecture.

Zhao Yingqiao looked him up and down, and when she saw that Zhao Jingyu was a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but ask, "What does aunt want to say?"

"snort!"

Zhao Yingqiao snorted coldly: "You are a virgin at least, why do you like a divorced woman?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time. Why?

Just like she didn't understand why her son fell in love with Gu Suiyu, but now she saw that Gu Suiyu was indeed not bad. As for Su Jin, she was also good. The only bad thing was that she was too old and was divorced.

Zhao Jingyu's face flushed: "Aunt, aunt, what are you talking about?"

"Okay, you think you're hiding it well, but you can't hide the look in your eyes when you like someone."

Zhao Jingyu's face turned even redder: "Is it so obvious? Why didn't Sixth Miss know about it?"

"A bystander sees more clearly than an insider. Jing Yu, do you really plan to keep wasting time like this? If it drags on for a few more years, Su Jin will get old and lose her beauty. Will you no longer like her by then?"

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person. I like her and don't care about her age." Zhao Jingyu said seriously and expressed his feelings immediately. Zhao Yingqiao sighed. Is it true that the Zhao family has a loyal family tradition? To be honest, the emperor once favored a concubine alone. For her, he even stopped entering the bedrooms of other concubines. As a result...

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, that thing is over.

"If you like her, marry her as soon as possible. The Queen Mother and your brother don't want you to handle state affairs. It's okay if you don't care. They just want you to start a family and build a career as soon as possible..."

Zhao Jingyu closed his mouth and said nothing. Zhao Yingqiao said, "If you don't want to say it, I will say it for you. I'm just a matchmaker."

"No, I'll say it myself!"

Su Jin said that she didn't want to fall into misfortune again, so she had to talk to her in person.
