Chapter 81 The Red Luan Star Is Really Not Moving
The capital, the residence of Prince Rui.

On the small building in the corner of the garden, Gu Yan was wearing a golden crown, a sapphire blue brocade gown, and a jade belt. He stood in front of the window, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the pavilions and warm pavilions built along the hill with great interest. .

The embroidered ribbons fluttered in the pavilions and warm pavilions, and the laughter and laughter were very lively.

On this day, Prince Rui invited all the young ladies from various families in the capital to come, saying that it was to appreciate the plum blossoms, but each family knew the reason for it.

Prince Rui's son is already 22!
All the young ladies who came to admire the plum blossoms were much more beautifully dressed than the flowers.

The marriage in Prince Rui's mansion does not matter whether it is honorable or not, how beautiful the prince is!
In the past, there was Mrs. Shi, a childhood sweetheart, and the two families were engaged early on. The young ladies of each family never had a chance, and they never thought about it.

Ever since Prince Rui's residence withdrew from the Shi family's marriage, that very good-looking eldest son has become the dream of almost all young ladies.

Because of this, the excitement of this year's Chinese New Year is much higher than in previous years.

Next to Gu Yan, the crown prince was wearing a thin cloak of black gray plain satin and silk, and carefully flipped through a booklet that was more than half a foot thick. After flipping through the last page, the prince patted the booklet with his hands, sighing repeatedly, "Your mother has spent the whole year's effort on this booklet, right? You really put your heart into it."

Gu Yan turned his head and squinted at the booklet.

Years ago, when he had just returned home and hadn’t finished his cup of tea, his mother offered this booklet in front of him like a treasure, and said that all the girls of the right age who were right with their family in the whole country, in the empire, were all in this booklet. In the brochure, let him take a good look, no matter what he can pick out one.

"Look, this meticulousness, appearance, talent, temperament and habits, how did you grow up from childhood, what kind of books you like to read, what kind of food you like to eat, what kind of tea you like to drink, tsk! It's really clear and clear! These little The portraits are all masterpieces, did your aunt bring someone over to paint them?" The prince was very impressed.

"I'm already 22, and it's only natural for her to be anxious." Gu Yan picked up the thick booklet from in front of the prince, and threw it out with his hands. The booklet flew halfway across the room and hit the opposite couch.

"Since you know that you are already 22, why don't you hurry up and pick one!" The prince's eyes followed the flying brochures, and then came back, pointing to the opposite pavilion.

"Didn't the great monk of Daxiangguo Temple say that my Red Luan Star hasn't moved yet, and the Red Luan Star doesn't move, so there is no marriage." Gu Yan laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense with me." The prince laughed, "Tell me, what's wrong with Miss Shi? Don't tell me that you are too familiar with me as your own sister. This is bullshit. Why?"

Gu Yan looked at the prince, was silent for a moment, and looked away, "Aniang thinks that she is talented in both learning and scheming, and she is rare in temperament, virtuous and virtuous. Think."

Gu Yan paused, and looked at the prince.

"Their family's way of keeping in good health is to keep your head cool and your feet warm when you sleep, and you must wear socks. Her little brother doesn't like to wear socks to sleep. He will take off the socks when people are not prepared. She has the socks sewn to death. At the bottom of the trousers, the trousers and jacket are sewn to death, and when you get up early the next day, you have to cut them with scissors."

The prince frowned slightly.

"I took a chance to test it out and asked her, since she is determined to be a good wife, if her husband is not good, what would she do, do you know what she said?" Gu Yan looked at the prince.

"Ok?"

"She said that a virtuous husband is not a good wife, but a virtuous one who helps her husband is a virtuous wife." Gu Yan chuckled, "Whether the husband is a virtuous or wrong, does she think or I think? If I think Everything I do is for the country and the people, and she thinks what I do is a disaster for the country and the people, what will she do?"

The prince frowned and his expression became serious.

"The empire has been passed down to the present, and it is extremely prosperous, but also extremely rancid. This is what you have told me the most and worried you the most in recent years. What you want to do is what I want to do.

"But this matter is gouging flesh and scraping bones, going upstream, how many people can see it clearly when it's time to clean it up? How many people know that this has to be done, it's a century-old plan, and it's imminent? Do people think that I am acting willfully and recklessly, bringing disaster to the country and the people?"

Gu Yan's voice was low and filled with strong resentment.

The prince looked stern, and after a while, he sighed, "Miss Shi is indeed too stubborn."

After a pause, the crown prince looked at Gu Yan, "You will go south again after the first lunar month. Since you know that you will be 22 this year, then quickly pick one and settle down, so that your father and mother can rest assured. Hurry up and choose one, and wait until this trip to the south before returning, but it will be another year, and you will be 23."

"It's true that the Red Luan star didn't move. Why is there such a rush? Look at our family, anyone who gets married early will have a son late, but anyone who gets married late will have a son early. It's better to be a few years later." Gu Yan looked serious.

The prince laughed out loud, "I'm not here to let you have a son, you are old enough, it's time to start a family."

"I think my marriage is in the south." Gu Yan looked at the prince and smiled.

"Huh?" The crown prince immediately raised his eyebrows, "Is there someone you like? Which girl is it? Who are the people in Pingjiang Mansion? The Lu family?"

"Where do you want to go, there is no girl, let alone the Lu family, I just think Wu Nong, a girl from Jiangnan, is soft-spoken and cute when she scolds people, just talking casually.

"I went south a few years ago, but within half a year, what I saw was far more rotten than we expected. At this moment, I just want to find out the general idea early and find a place to start. I really don't have time to think about marriage?
"Besides, it's not suitable for Prince Rui's residence to marry early, and it's even more inappropriate for me. Early marriage must be unlucky, let's talk about it a few years later."

When the prince heard the last word, he glanced sideways at Gu Yan, and after a while, said slowly: "We two play together without knowing how to crawl, what can you hide from me?

"Forget it. Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more. I'm not in a hurry to get married anyway."

"It's really nothing. If something really happens, I'll definitely write to you that day." Gu Yan was serious.

"This summer and autumn, I'm planning to go south and take a look along the coast." The prince sighed vaguely.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, the crown prince glanced at Gu Yan, and hummed, "Father's energy is not as good as before. After this trip to the south, I probably won't be able to leave the capital again."

Gu Yan's face turned slightly pale, and after a while, he hummed in a low voice.

"Since you don't plan to pick a wife, then don't look at it and go out for a run?" the prince suggested.

"Okay!" Gu Yan let the crown prince go, followed the crown prince downstairs and went out.
