If Zhongli is someone who loves vanity and climbs dragons and phoenixes, I'm afraid that she really wants to enter the palace, but where are the concubines in the harem so easy to mix?

When the old lady was about to say something, she heard Pei Xing's voice coming from outside the door. Although his tone was lazy, he murmured mercilessly, "I like pushing people into the palace so much, why not? Can I help you too? The hand stretches backwards, a married woman, who cares so much, is not afraid of losing her life?"

Gu Zhiya's face turned red and white, and even Zhong Li was a little stunned, she didn't expect him to appear at all.

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard. The old lady should have scolded Pei Xing, but at this moment, she did not speak. Apparently, she was stunned too. She didn't expect Pei Xing to come back, and she didn't expect him to ridicule Gu Zhiya like this.

Gu Zhiya was embarrassed to the extreme, her eyes turned red instantly, and she said with tears: "Third uncle, is this blaming Aya? I just asked Sister Wenli out of good intentions, if you lose face to Aya like this, if it spreads out, How should I behave?"

When meeting his sharp and inviolable eyes, Gu Zhiya's sobbing couldn't help but stop for a while. Although Gu Zhiya was married to the Prince of England, she was only a concubine. The second wife did not dare to offend Pei Xing for her. For a while, only touched the tip of nose, but did not dare to come forward to comfort him.

After the old lady reacted, she patted Gu Zhiya's hand, "Okay, don't cry, don't you know what kind of temper he is? I've always been so angry that I'm always jumping up and down, don't you know? Take it to heart, Li girl has no intention of entering the palace, so don't mention it again, if others hear it, it will not affect it well."

The old lady seemed to be comforting her, but she was biased towards Pei Xing and Zhong Li, not even asking Pei Xing to apologize to her.

Gu Zhiya sneered in her heart, but climbed down the steps, "Since my sister doesn't mean it, I won't mention it again. When I came back this time, Shizi asked me to bring gifts to the second and third uncles, and to the third uncle. It is a special guqin made by Mr. Qiu from the previous dynasty, I heard that the third uncle loves to collect guqin, I hope the third uncle likes it."

After she finished speaking, she ordered the maid to carry the qin in. The second uncle was given a famous painting of the previous dynasty, which was also very precious. The Prince of England spent a lot of thought to find this.

The second wife hurriedly thanked her husband, "I've made Shizi worry about it."

As for Pei Xing, he didn't even look at the guqin. When the atmosphere became awkward again, the old lady glared at Pei Xing, and then Pei Xing looked at Qin Xing, "Put it away."

Gu Zhiya breathed a sigh of relief, if he refused to accept it, when she returned to the fief, he would not be able to deal with the prince. Married for four years, her relationship with the prince is still affectionate, but the concubine side is also favored. Speaking of which, the prince and the concubine are the best

childhood sweetheart

, More than ten years of friendship, she can't compare.

Gu Zhiya knew in her heart that the reason why the prince gave her respect was not only because of her gentleness, but also because of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion behind her and Pei Xing in the Hou Mansion. It is not as high as the surface, and may not be willing to give her the dignity she is today.

Because of Pei Xing's presence, Gu Zhiya couldn't say anything else. She stabilized her mind and asked the maid to distribute the gifts she brought one by one. Everyone in the house had them, including Cheng'er and Zhong Li.

Pei Xing then glanced at Zhong Li lightly. The girl lowered her eyelashes and sat on the side in an orderly manner. She was wearing a begonia-colored dress. She was the only one who could match such a gorgeous dress. The elegance is peerless, and the people are more delicate than the flowers.

Zhong Li vaguely noticed his gaze, she raised her eyes and curved her lips, her smile was sweet and touching.

Pei Xing's expression paused.

During the conversation, the Duke of Zhenbei and the second master also returned, and the old lady smiled and said, "the people are finally here, let's have dinner."

In fact, the old lady said that all the people who came to eat were all there, and Xiao Sheng didn't come today. He told Liu Shun to pass the news that he was unwell and was resting in bed, so he would not come.

The old lady knew that he was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to send a maid to invite him.

Gu Zhiya's eyes darkened when the word arrived. Gu Lin was still on Zhuangzi, so why did he arrive?

For a moment, she even hated Zhenbeihou and the old lady. If they served snacks to her brother, how could he end up like this?

Gu Zhiya felt uncomfortable, and her eyes were a little red.

Mammy Zhang made a sound at the right time, "Does the girl think of the eldest young master again?"

Gu Zhiya pressed the corner of her eyes, and after meeting the concerned look of the old lady, she smiled, "I'm fine, grandma doesn't need to worry."

The old lady thought that she was advancing by retreating, and wanted to force her son to release Gu Lin, she was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "When I received your letter some time ago, you only arrived in the Central Plains, who would have expected you to come back so quickly, That's it, tomorrow I'll have someone bring Lin'er back, so you and your brother can be reunited."

After all, the old lady was a little soft-hearted, and she also missed Gu Lin in her heart.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei, "Although Lin'er made a mistake, it's okay to punish him for two or three months. She still has to teach her slowly by her side. You are not allowed to stop him tomorrow."

Zhenbeihou didn't speak, his eyes fell on Gu Zhiya.

Gu Zhiya's heart tightened, and only then did she realize that the old lady didn't know about his younger brother's illness. It is naturally more suitable for him to stay in Zhuangzi in his current situation. Live, if outsiders know that he has a disease, her face will only be lost.

Gu Zhiya hurriedly said: "Grandma! Father did the right thing, and my brother really needs to reflect on his life. If he continues like this, I am afraid that everyone will be retired, so he should have a memory."

When she said this, the old lady remembered the words of the Marquis of Zhenbei again. To be honest, Gu Lin was really not a good person, and he should have been taught well, "Forget it, let's do it with you."

This meal was extremely dull. After the dinner, the Marquis of Zhenbei called Gu Zhiya to the study. He only had such a daughter, and she was pampered and raised when she was a child. After she got married, she left for four years. Zhenbeihou naturally cares about how she is doing.

Gu Zhiya adhered to the principle of reporting good news and not bad news, and talked about her own experience, "The prince treated me very well. After giving birth to Brother Min, I was able to stand firm, and I originally wanted to take my two children with me. Come back to show you, but they are too young to travel long distances. When they are older, I will bring them back. Father doesn’t have to worry about me. Do your filial piety in front of you, and always worry about you and your grandmother's health."
