On the second day, the rumor that the Baiyuan Garden in the east of the city had changed its owner spread throughout the capital.
Everyone was shocked.
After all, the garden is a beautiful scenery in the capital, and it is no less impressive than the Royal Garden in the palace.
Last spring, the Queen held a flower banquet there!
When King Jing returned to the capital after winning a battle, he asked for the courtyard but he didn't agree. How come he changed hands and gave it to Chu Yue now?
What did she do? Will His Majesty give such a big benefit?
Thinking of Chu Yue being summoned by His Majesty alone after the Hundred Flowers Banquet yesterday, many people seemed to smell something unusual.
"Do you think His Majesty has fallen in love with Princess Heyue?"
"It's very possible, otherwise how could the Hundred Gardens be awarded to her?"
"Tsk! Your Majesty is really young. He is probably older than Princess Heyue's biological father, right?"
"But it doesn't necessarily mean that he has a crush on her. Think about it, Princess He Yue is called the princess because she is of the same generation as the princess. If your majesty really has a crush on her, wouldn't it mean that she is of a different generation?"
"Although she is a princess, she has no connection with the royal family. Changing her title is just a matter of a word from His Majesty."
"That's right."
…
Soon, these rumors spread to the palace.
Qin Feilan led the palace maid and her nanny to the outside of the imperial study, and then entered the imperial study alone.
"I have met your Majesty."
Gu Jinghe saw her and said softly, "Pingshen."
Seeing that Gu Jinghe looked a little tired, Qin Feilan walked around behind the dragon chair and rubbed his temples.
"Your Majesty, there is a rumor related to Your Majesty in the capital. I think I have to inform Your Majesty."
Gu Jinghe closed his eyes slightly, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
"What's the rumor?"
Qin Feilan told Gu Jinghe about the rumors in the capital, and asked, "Has your majesty really become interested in Princess Heyue?"
In fact, she didn't believe it in her heart.
Not to mention seniority, Chu Yue and Doctor Zhang still have a master-disciple relationship. Furthermore, since Concubine Jin led Qian Yu out of the palace, His Majesty has been diligent in government affairs and rarely recruits new people to the palace.
The most important thing is that she understands Gu Jinghe.
Even Concubine Jin, who was the most favored before, had never received such a reward.
Gu Jinghe glanced in Qin Feilan's direction.
"Queen, there is no need to test me like this. You have been with me for almost twenty years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Qin Feilan paused, walked around to Gu Jinghe's side, squatted down slightly and looked at him.
"Because I know Your Majesty well, I am curious, so I dare to ask Your Majesty, why?"
After a long time, just when Qin Feilan felt that her feet were going numb from squatting, Gu Jinghe spoke.
"Princess Heyue has solved the people's livelihood problems for me. The Queen said, is this a great contribution?"
Qin Feilan's eyes flashed with surprise.
People's livelihood plan?
What so many ministers in the court could not do, how could she, a little princess, do it?
Looking at Qin Feilan's expression, Gu Jinghe had a smile on his face, "Is the queen curious about what He Yue did?"
Qin Feilan stood up and saluted Gu Jinghe.
"The harem is not allowed to participate in the affairs of the court. Although I am curious, I don't have to find out clearly."
The reason why she can firmly sit on the position of queen is because she knows the general situation and knows how to advance and retreat.
Although he keeps the emperor in his heart, he will not spend all his thoughts on being sour and jealous, causing harm to his body and heart.
Gu Jinghe glanced at her, gentleness flashing in his eyes.
"You will know about this sooner or later, so there is no harm in telling you."
For a moment, after hearing Chu Yue's deeds, Qin Feilan's face was full of disbelief.
"Princess Heyue is really a wonderful person with a delicate mind."
Gu Jinghe nodded, "Doctor Zhang, you have taught a good apprentice."
Then he looked at Qin Feilan and said, "The queen will deal with the rumors. Princess He Yue already has a husband, so don't make others feel grudge."
Qin Feilan is blessed.
"I obey your orders."
…
Chu Yue on Zhuangzi did not know about the rumors in the capital.
She is currently worrying about the garden given by the emperor.
"Ms. sir, this garden is so big, how can we live there as a family? It would take us half a day to go around the garden, right? If we want to have a meal as a family, don't we have to take a carriage to get together?"
Lu Xinghe smiled.
"What others want even if they go to great lengths, but when it comes to you, they dislike it."
Chu Yue held her chin in her hands, "It's true that I like a bigger house and yard, but this one is too big. It's really not suitable for living. It's not popular anymore."
Lu Xinghe smiled and picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip.
"It's not like you have to live there."
Chu Yue turned her head and looked at him, "But it would be a waste to leave it empty. It costs a lot of money to maintain it every year."
"Since Yueyue is a businessman, you might want to think about the benefits that garden can bring to you."
Lu Xinghe's voice had a deep texture, and Chu Yue loved hearing it.
"But after all, it was given by His Majesty. Is it not good for me to use it for business?"
Lu Xinghe put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at her.
"Since His Majesty gave it to you, it belongs to you. Do you still remember the moon in Xijiang on the outskirts of Beijing?"
He had heard before that His Majesty was quite fond of that garden.
Now it is given to Chu Yue. If his home is used as a residence, he will definitely not be able to come often.
But if it is open to the outside world as a business place.
If he wants to come, he can go and sit.
Hearing this, Chu Yue's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea.
"That's right!" She looked at Lu Xinghe with excitement, "We don't need to change the layout of Baiyuan Garden, we just need to plan the area and make slight changes. It can be divided into several major areas, one part is used to open restaurants, and some are used to open restaurants. The scattered palace can be opened to the public for entertaining guests, and a large area can be planned for everyone to relax and play."
As for leisure activities, she has a lot of ideas in her mind.
Since Baiyuan Garden is everyone's aspiration, she will share everyone's aspiration to the public. There is no need for her to do any special promotion, and it will not make people think that she, the princess, is arrogant.
After all, except for the imperial palace, no one in the capital lives in such a large garden anymore.
Lu Xinghe had a panoramic view of the little girl's happy appearance, and his brows were full of doting.
"Now that you have an idea, just follow your idea."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the book at hand and continued reading.
Chu Yue glanced in his direction, quietly came up behind him, wrapped her arms around Lu Xinghe's neck, and pressed her body weight on him.
"Ms. sir, why do you think you are so smart?"
Ever since Lu Xinghe expressed his feelings yesterday, Chu Yue has become more and more bold in front of him.
Lu Xinghe had a smile on his lips, and he seemed to be teasing.
"To complement you."
