"Okay, I feel dizzy seeing all the people walking around here." The queen interrupted the prince's soliloquy.
"Mother, Mingzhu is only sixteen years old! Then Gu Er might have deliberately seduced Mingzhu!" the prince said anxiously.
"Sit down." The queen said lightly.
The prince sat down slowly under his mother's calm gaze.
"Have you read the results of the investigation? To be fair, what do you think of Gu Er?" The queen put down the paper and looked at the prince and asked.
"My son thinks that Gu Er is an honest man and talented." The prince tried to put aside his prejudice.
The queen nodded slowly.
"Then do you think this Gu Er can be the consort?"
"The Gu family has a good family tradition, and the backyard is extremely clean. Neither Gu Cheng nor Gu Huai have taken concubines or have intercourse. Gu Er has not had intercourse since he was eighteen years old, so he is a good candidate for a consort." To be fair, Gu Er is indeed quite good. of.
"However, Queen Mother's Gu Er only wants to become an official in the court. I don't think he will be willing to honor the princess." The prince said worriedly.
"After the imperial examination, your father will announce that he and his son will enter the palace. At that time, it will be up to you whether Gu Er will choose an official career or a pearl."
"At that time, your father will let Mingzhu meet Gu Er so that Gu Er can know Mingzhu's identity. If Gu Er is interested in Mingzhu, he will naturally ask your father for a marriage. If not, I will Gong Zi will give up the idea of Mingzhu."
"This, alas, this is the only way it can be." The prince said worriedly, fearing that this girl Mingzhu would not give up.
The prince met Lin Sui as soon as he left the palace.
"Brother Emperor, why are you here? What does the Queen Mother want from you?" Lin Sui asked curiously.
"It's nothing." The prince glanced at Lin Sui with hatred and left.
"Brother Emperor, what happened today?" Lin Sui shook his head, turned around and forgot about the matter.
She has big things to do today!
"Mother~" The queen could hear her voice even before she saw her.
Alas, the debt collector came, the queen held her forehead and sighed.
"Mother, my son is here~" As soon as Lin Sui came in, she came in front of the queen and sat down next to her.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" the queen asked helplessly.
"If nothing happens, can't I come to you?" Lin Sui pouted.
"Is everything okay?" The queen glanced at her.
"Hehe, actually there is still such a small thing that I want to trouble my mother." Lin Sui pinched two fingers and gestured.
"Tell me and listen." The queen leaned back lazily.
"That's right, my son has grown up now. Do you and your father have any plans for my marriage?" Lin Sui asked coyly.
"Your marriage?" the queen asked.
"Yeah." Lin Sui nodded sharply.
"There's no rush. We'll wait until you turn eighteen."
"Yes, but mother, by the time my sons are eighteen, they will all be old girls." Lin Sui pouted and said unhappily.
"What an old girl, eighteen is a good age. Besides, there are many young men waiting to marry you."
Seeing that her father and mother wanted to keep her until she was eighteen, Lin Sui became anxious. By the time she turned eighteen, Brother Gu might have a child.
"But my mother, my son, my son has someone he likes!" Lin Sui became anxious and revealed his thoughts.
"The person you like? Which family's young master?" The queen pretended not to know.
"That's what I told you yesterday, Second Brother Gu." Lin Sui said shyly, her face flushed.
"Gu Er? Is that the second son of the Gu family of Huangshang?"
Lin Sui nodded, blinked his big eyes, and looked at the queen expectantly.
"How can a businessman from the Gu family deserve to be the jewel of this palace?"
"Why don't they deserve it? The Gu family is an imperial businessman, not an ordinary merchant family, and the second brother Gu is talented, more handsome than Pan An, and as gentle as jade. How come he doesn't deserve it?" Lin Sui said dissatisfied.
"You only know that he is talented, but do you know that he has an official career at heart?" The queen poked Lin Sui's head with hatred.
"My son, I know that, but my heart likes him." Lin Sui covered his head and said depressedly.
"The imperial examination will be over in a month. If nothing happens, he will be on the list. If he is interested in you, he will ask your father for a marriage. Just wait."
"But Second Brother Gu doesn't know that my son is a princess, how can he propose?" Lin Sui asked anxiously.
"Your father has only one option, go back." The queen waved her hand with a headache.
"Yes, I will retire."
————————————
"Oh." Lin Sui held her face and sighed in distress.
"What's wrong with the princess? Why have you been sighing since you came back from the Queen?" Lian Qiu looked in Lin Sui's direction worriedly.
"Trapped by love~" Nian Xia shook his head.
"Trapped by love?!" Three voices sounded at the same time.
"Shh! Keep your voice down, sisters." Nian Xia quickly covered Fodong's mouth.
"Tell me quickly, what happened yesterday? Why did the princess suddenly fall in love?" Xichun and the others approached Nian Xia and asked.
"Oh, I said, I said, it was me and the princess yesterday..."
"Second Young Master Gu?" Fodong exclaimed in a low voice.
"The second young master Gu from the Gu family of the Imperial Businessman? He is the most beautiful man in the capital, and the second young master Gu is as talented as the young master Xu from the Duke of Xu's residence?" Lian Qiu asked in surprise.
"Yes." Nian Xia nodded and responded.
"Hey, please tell me, is this Second Young Master Gu really so handsome?" Lian Qiu asked excitedly.
"Anyway, the princess was stunned at first sight." Nian Xia said nonchalantly, she only loves delicious food.
"The princess often stays with His Highness the Crown Prince, which can make the princess stunned. It seems that he is indeed the most handsome man in the capital." Xichun nodded and said.
"However, will the Emperor agree to the fact that Second Young Master Gu is a merchant?" Fodong asked worriedly.
"Oh, so the princess is worried about this now." Nian Xia shook his head and said helplessly.
"But Second Young Master Gu is very talented. He will definitely be on the list in this year's imperial examination. The emperor will probably agree to it by then."
"That's true."
"But, Nian Xia, does Second Young Master Gu have any interest in the princess?" This is what Xichun is most concerned about.
"I don't know about this either." Nian Xia scratched her head. She didn't understand these love affairs.
"Tsk, you know how to eat." The three of them raised their hands and knocked Nian Xia on the head.
"Ouch!" Nian Xia rubbed his head but dared not say anything in anger.
"You four, stop mumbling, this princess can hear you." Lin Sui said weakly.
The four of them were startled and hurriedly stepped forward.
