The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Zuo Xiangning looked at the emperor who was serious about his matter, and for a moment she didn't know if what he said was what he meant.

"I still have something to discuss with the ministers. Fourth sister will have lunch here before going back."

After the emperor left, the queen said to Zuo Xiangning: "The eldest princess seemed to be a good person before, but now she seems not to be a kind person, so the emperor always misses the old relationship."

Zuo Xiangning advised: "Sister, please don't have any conflicts with the eldest princess because of my affairs. Now Gu Zhiqing has become a street rat, everyone is shouting and beating her, and the eldest princess has become a loner. We can't do the same thing if we are angry with her."

"I know." Zuo Xiangrong asked someone to bring Brother Hong to her to see, "Do you think Brother Hong has gained weight again?"

"Brother Hong has become more beautiful." Zuo Xiangning held Brother Hong in her arms and kissed him again and again. "Look at his eyes, they look like black grapes."

Brother Hong hugged Zuo Xiangning's neck and chuckled.

"Brother Hong smiled happily when he saw everyone whom Aida ignored. He smiled happily." Zuo Xiangrong said with a smile.

"I'm his aunt, so he naturally likes me." Zuo Xiangning teased Brother Hong for half an hour.

At noon, Brother Hong fell asleep. Zuo Xiangrong followed Zuo Xiangning and whispered: "The emperor has said that he is going to send Marquis Jingyuan to the north. He wants him to earn some military merit and have more words in the court. right."

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows.

"Silly girl, go back and find a way to get Bingyu or Bingyun to deliver a message to Marquis Jingyuan." Zuo Xiangrong said with a smile: "People must know that there is someone in our palace."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and smiled softly, "That's what my sister said."

"Jingyuan Marquis has returned from military service, so he can ask the emperor for a marriage." Zuo Xiangrong said, "My eldest brother's wedding will be held at the end of this year, and yours will be held at the end of next year."

"How old am I? Don't worry." Zuo Xiangning said softly, "It'll be in two years."

"You are already sixteen this year, and in two years you will become an old girl." Zuo Xiangrong walked Zuo Xiangning to the door, "Tell mother that everything is fine with Brother Hong and me, so she doesn't have to worry about it."

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning waved to Zuo Xiangrong.

Zuo Xiangning got on the carriage, feeling not very happy.

It's almost the end of the year, and it's getting colder as we go north. If Ling Xiao goes north at this time, he's going to suffer.

But this matter was beyond her control.

She returned home and asked Bingyu to deliver the news to Ling Xiao.

After Bingyu came back, he simply said: "Master Marquis said he knew."

"Is his injury healed?" Zuo Xiangning asked with concern.

"I heard from Changfeng that it's almost done." Bingyu smiled and said, "Master Hou will come over to see you when he has some free time."

"He should recover well." Zuo Xiangning did not doubt Bingyu's words, stood up and went to the clean room to take a hot bath.

Two days later, Zuo Zixi returned to the capital from the northwest.

Zuo Zixi asked the guards around him to come back with five carts of things.

One of the cars was named for Zuo Xiangning.

Jiang asked people to unload the things directly into her yard.

Zuo Xiangning looked at the fabrics and jewelry and secretly wondered, why did her elder brother give her so many things?

When the guard handed her her brother's letter, she couldn't help laughing.

In the letter, her eldest brother divided the things into two parts in detail, giving half to each of her and Min Yujia.

Zuo Xiangning smiled and asked someone to put all the things away separately and put them in the backyard of his eldest brother's new house.

She already has enough things, so she should leave these to her sister-in-law. Jiang knew about it, and smiled and asked Zixia to put a shop on East Street under Zuo Xiangning's name: "To be used as a dowry for the fourth girl."

Zuo Zixi went to the palace to pay his respects. Both the emperor and the empress summoned him and rewarded him with gifts.

Zuo Zixi returned to Zuofu, and Zuo Xiangning took him around his yard with great interest.

"My mother and I prepared this for my eldest brother and sister-in-law. What does eldest brother think?"

Zuo Zixi looked around and asked with a slightly red face: "Has Miss Min seen it?"

"I've seen it." Zuo Xiangning nodded with a smile, "Now I'm just waiting for my eldest brother to nod."

Zuo Zixi smiled and tapped her forehead, "I'm very satisfied."

Zuo Xiangning added: "The cart of things that elder brother gave me, I have people move it to the warehouse behind your yard, and your servant will look after it."

"Half of it is for you." Zuo Zixi said, "I bought two copies of everything, and prepared another one for the queen."

"I have so many things that I can't even fit them in my small warehouse." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile, "I sent a letter to Sister Min and invited her to be a guest the day after tomorrow."

Zuo Zixi smiled and said nothing at that time. In the evening, he sent Zuo Xiangning two thousand taels of silver notes, "Buy whatever you like."

"Thank you, brother." Zuo Xiangning answered with a smile.

One day later, the palace issued an imperial edict to Marquis Jingyuan, asking him to lead the army to the expedition in five days.

Zuo Xiangning learned about this from Zuo Zixi and couldn't help but feel worried.

Logically speaking, Ling Xiao's injury should be almost healed, but he never came to see him. What's going on?

She found a piece of leather, made two pairs of kneepads for Ling Xiao, and asked Bingyu to send them over.

Bingyu ran back in less than half an hour.

"The thing was handed over to Marquis Jingyuan?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"Yes." Bingyu lowered his head and said.

"Jingyuan Marquis is not in the house." Zuo Xiangning looked at Bingyu's evasive appearance and said with certainty: "Where has he gone? Or has something happened?"

"Master Marquis, Master Hou is not allowed to tell you." Bingyu said in embarrassment: "Master Hou went to the east of the city."

"Are you going after Gu Zhiqing?" Zuo Xiangning's heart tightened slightly when she mentioned Gu Zhiqing.

"The Marquis got the news and led his people to chase him. When he went to deliver the imperial edict today, the Marquis was not in the house. Changfeng gave the eunuch the edict a five hundred tael silver note." Bingyu told her what Changfeng told her. , told Zuo Xiangning in one breath, "Changfeng has sent a message to Mr. Hou, and Mr. Hou should be back soon."

Zuo Xiangning thought: Ling Xiao knew that he had to leave the capital, so he might want to catch Gu Zhiqing before leaving the capital! Lest Gu Zhiqing come to harm her again.

Two days later, Ling Xiao appeared in Zuo Xiangning's room.

"I captured Gu Zhiqing's parents the day before yesterday, but Gu Zhiqing didn't." Ling Xiao held Zuo Xiangning in her arms and said solemnly: "If he still has any blood, he will come to save his parents. I We have already arranged the manpower to get rid of him as soon as he shows up. But I'm afraid that he will come to you if I'm not around."

"You don't have to worry about me. My eldest brother will be in the capital in the near future. Moreover, no matter where I go, I will bring Bingyun and Bingyu with me. You just need to come back safely." Zuo Xiangning hugged his hand reluctantly Waist, "I asked Doctor Liu to prepare a lot of pills for you. Don't forget to take them all later."

Ling Xiao raised Zuo Xiangning's face and met her eyes, "I will be away for at least three months this time. When I come back, I will ask the emperor for a marriage."

Zuo Xiangning stood up on her tiptoes, kissed him on the corner of his lips, and said softly, "I'll wait for you to come back safely."
