Traveling from Nanchu Capital to Daliang Capital, by water plus land, would take more than twenty days at the fastest. Ye Guixue has three months of vacation. Calculating this way, he can live in Nanchu Capital for more than a month.
Su Rong was thinking in her mind, wondering what the purpose of Ye Guixue coming to Beijing at this time? Is it really so easy to give it to your little niece?
A few days ago, when she left Jiangzhou, several groups of people from Nan Chu had already killed her along the way. The King of Nan Chu was in charge of the Nan Chu Dynasty. Even if the Nangong family and clan were in control, no news would be hidden to her death. He couldn't get it either. If that were the case, he, the king, would have reached his end a long time ago, and he wouldn't have been kicked out of the imperial rank until now. And he hasn't sent anyone so far. Could it be that Ye Guixue is the person he sent?
But what happened to the marriage between the Nangong family and Ye Xiangfu? It is not ruled out that the two major palaces would join forces to deprive the King of Southern Chu of his royal power, and Guixue's intention to come that night might also be dangerous to her.
Su Rong thought for a while and looked at Fengling without coming up with a reason.
Fengling seemed to know what she was thinking, and shook her head, saying that she had only found out so much information now, and that there were more secret information that she could not find out in such a short time.
Duan Hua looked at Fei Ling and then at Su Rong. She always felt that the two of them were playing dumb, but she didn't know.
It was no secret that Su Rong went to the Duke Protector's Mansion to break off her engagement. She didn't hide it on purpose, and the Duke Protector's Palace wouldn't hide it on purpose either. Therefore, after she left the Duke Protector's Mansion, many people from all over the capital got the news.
The first person to get the news was the East Palace. The secret guard reported the news to Yan Huisheng. Yan Huisheng nodded and said he understood.
He thought that Su Rong would act straightforwardly and break off the engagement as soon as she said so, which was in line with her temperament and she would not be sloppy in deciding things. But precisely because of this, people will also know that she is cold and cold at heart, and does not take the love between her children too seriously.
He put down the memorial and thought silently, wondering whether it was Su Rong's nature or whether it was due to Xie Yuan's teachings. But no matter what, she was able to let go of Zhou Gu, which shows that she is not someone who is easily impressed.
And for Bizhou Gu, if he was with her, the future would be different.
He rubbed his brows and asked the secret guard, "Where is Zhou Gu? What are you doing now?"
The secret guard immediately said: "Young Master Zhou left the palace and went to Prince Ruian's Mansion. He called Mr. Xie and went to the Guest House to drink together."
Yan Huisheng did not expect that Zhou Gu and Xie Lin had disliked each other for a long time, but now they had a harmonious relationship. He nodded and waved the secret guard to retreat.
The secret guard handed over his hand and said, "I have something to report."
"Huh? Tell me."
The secret guard said: "Young Master Ye from the Prime Minister's Mansion of Nanchu came to the capital today with his little niece. Because Miss Nangong Le of the Nangong family is about to marry the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was worried and sent the little girl to Daliang. I will be raised in the Chengguo Duke's mansion for a while. The second young master Ye is taking three months off so that he can stay in the capital with his niece for some time."
Yan echoed "Oh?" "Ye Guixue?"
"Exactly."
Yan Hui said thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand."
The secret guard retreated.
Nanchu is a vassal state of Daliang, with border trade, tea, salt, horses, and in-law exchanges. During the reign of the late emperor, Nanchu had two intentions for several years. This was because the late king of Southern Chu at that time couldn't stand the growing weakness of Daliang, but because of The prince of Nanchu fell in love with Princess Zhenmin, but instead brought the relationship back to the main beam. After the death of the late king of Southern Chu, the Crown Prince of Southern Chu came to the throne. Although Princess Zhenmin did not marry the Crown Prince of Nan Chu in the end, because she died in the Wei Dynasty, the Crown Prince of Nan Chu hated the Wei Dynasty to death, so that the vassal state of Southern Chu never married. After leaving Daliang, it is still a vassal state of Daliang.
Therefore, marriages between Nanchu and Daliang are not interfered with, but even so, it is limited to the border people, not so much to the mansions of the two countries. After all, they are too far apart, thousands of miles apart, so it is not an empty number, but a real number. The mountains are far away.
But back then, the daughter of Duke Chengguo of Daliang fell in love with the son of Nanchu Ye's family, and the marriage came to fruition despite the clear path between the late emperor and the late king of Nanchu. It is also to ease relations between the two countries.
Because the journey was too long, Cheng Guogong’s daughter who was married abroad never came back to visit her. Unexpectedly, he sent his granddaughter back now, and it was still late at night.
Gui Xue personally delivered it.
At this time, it was too much of a coincidence.
Yan Huisheng thought about it all in his heart. After the ministers from the East Palace came to discuss it, he interrupted his thoughts and continued busy with the matter at hand.
And throughout the capital, within half a day, the news that Su Rong and Zhou Gu had broken off their engagement had spread.
The main reason is that the engagement between the two has attracted much attention. After hearing that Zhou Gu had a fiancée, everyone was extremely curious about Su Rong. After she came to the capital, she stayed at the princess mansion and was treated as a guest of honor, which made people even more curious. She reached the top, but before anyone could see what she looked like, it was reported that she went to the Protector's Mansion alone to cancel Zhou Gu's marriage.
The capital suddenly exploded across the country.
For Beijing, this is the first major event after the scientific examination.
If Zhou Gu had broken off the engagement to Su Rong, it wouldn't have been so rumored. People would have thought that sooner or later this inappropriate marriage would be canceled by the Duke Protector's Office. However, it was Su Rong who came to break off the engagement to Zhou Gu. But it was shocking.
There are so many women who wish they could join the family of the Protector of the Country, and wish they could marry into such a prestigious family. Especially for a little concubine, this marriage matter is even more expensive.
Who would have thought that Su Rong would take the initiative to break off the engagement?
Everyone was talking about it, and the limelight was suddenly directed at the Princess Mansion. According to ordinary people's guesses, the Princess Mansion must have been involved in this. Princess Duanhua and Princess Qingping may have figured out how to detain Su Rong in the mansion, obviously against them. She's so nice, but he secretly coerces her and messes with Huang, right?
There were many such sounds, and they reached his ears as soon as the prince-in-law left the office. The prince-in-law was silent for a long time.
The prince-in-law knew best whether it was his own family that was involved in Huang's affair, but if he said it was not the case, others would not believe it. If he hadn't come into contact with Su Rong and knew what Qingping and Duanhua were doing recently, he wouldn't believe that there was no handiwork by them.
He drove back to his house, saw and heard the news outside, and was very angry. He had no choice but to comfort her, "Just say what others say. You won't be slapped on the head for things you haven't done before." Did you do it a lot? Why are you still angry this time?"
Qingping gave his consort an angry look, "Even if I get my head pressed a hundred times, for something I haven't done, I'm still very angry and I can't get used to it."
The prince-in-law held her hand, smiled and reassured, "Don't be angry, it's nothing. What's the cause, what's the result. Duan Hua has been pestering Zhou Gu too much in the past few years, which led to today's remarks."
Qingping snorted and complained to him, "It's all your fault for not teaching your daughter well."
The prince-in-law admitted, "Yes, it's all my fault. I didn't teach him well, so don't be angry."
Qing Ping was very easy to coax, especially her consort, who could coax her with just a few words. She suddenly felt happy and lost her anger. She said to her consort: "If you ask me, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Gu. Su Rong would be better off breaking off the engagement." , I have to send someone to ask her if she wants to celebrate her successful breakup of the engagement?"
Consort: "..."
He wanted to say that, but what he said was too unconscionable. Isn't Zhou Gu okay? So what kind of thing is good?
Qingping added: "Anyway, I've already suffered a lot of notoriety. If I don't celebrate, I won't feel comfortable." After she finished speaking, she called someone over and ordered, "Go and ask Su Rong if she wants to celebrate tonight." ?」
The maid responded and immediately went to ask.
Not long after, the maid came back and smiled and replied, "Back to Princess, Miss Su Qi said to celebrate, thank you and the consort, she and Fengling will follow the princess here later. I also asked you to prepare more wine, and I will accompany you tonight. Drink freely."
Qing Ping Da Le, "Good! It's settled like this. Go and order the kitchen to cook a table of dishes. Then go to the wine cellar and take out all the good wines I have collected. No, go to the guest shop and buy those drunken flowers. , buy a few more jars and come back."
The maid responded and went immediately.
Zhou Gu and Xie Lin were still sitting in the private room of the guest room drinking.
Xie Lin had already taken three hangover pills, and he still had the last jar of wine left. He couldn't drink any more, so he begged Zhou Gu for mercy, "Brother Zhou, brother, brother, please spare me! I can't drink any more." Already."
He has already vomited twice. If he drinks again, even if he can't die with hangover pills today, he will have to drink them to death. He will commit the crime when he sees alcohol in the future.
It might even be disgusting.
Zhou Gu didn't take any sobering pills, nor did he vomit. After drinking five jars, his facial features were still clear. Looking at Xie Lin's unpromising look, he thought it was almost done, so he let him go, "Okay, you don't need to drink anymore." .”
Seeing him spitting, Xie Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how good the wine was, he couldn't stand it when he drank it this way.
He had a terrible headache, as if it was going to explode, but he took too many hangover pills, which kept him awake and would not fall asleep after being drunk. He looked at Zhou Gu and gave him a thumbs up, "How did you develop your drinking capacity? You can do it."
Zhou Gu picked up the last unopened jar of wine in front of him and the last unopened jar of wine in front of Xie Lin, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
Xie Lin stood up unsteadily and said, "There are still two jars left. Aren't you going to drink?"
"Take it back and give it to my grandparents to drink." Zhou Gu was not polite at all. He didn't let Xie Linhua take the wine away because it was the wine he bought with his money. He made arrangements for it directly.
Xie Lin nodded, "Okay, it's right to honor the old prince and Princess Fa Sheng'an."
Zhou Gu walked very steadily, left the private room, went downstairs, passed the counter, and ordered the shopkeeper, "Send him a car back."
The shopkeeper responded quickly and asked him again, "Then you..."
"I don't need to send it." Zhou Gu stepped out of the door, threw the two jars of wine into the bag in front of the saddle, took off the reins, got on the horse, and left directly.
Continue to lie down, saving the manuscript and consuming it again, woo woo woo...
