Chapter 184 Shared Seat (Xiaoxiang Ticket Extra)
That would be such a relief!
As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth rose, and there was a hint of calculation in her eyes, but she was soon interrupted by her husband, Prince Fu.
"Princess, let's go, let's have dinner."
He also knew that his wife had just been humiliated, so she must be unhappy at the moment.
That's why he spoke to ease the situation.
This Prince Fu is a man of the same temperament as the Duke Shang Yukuan.
It's just that because he is a member of the royal family, and he has the support of His Majesty, he naturally has more flatterers than the Duke.
But if it really comes down to it, it's just the glory of his father's generation.
It has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, when Princess Fu was controlled by Shang Ji, he couldn't stand up, and when Princess Fu was alienated by the Crown Princess and Princess Yuehua, he couldn't stand up.
It's inevitable that it's a bit of hindsight to say these things at this moment.
But Princess Fu knew what kind of personality he had long ago, so she was used to it, so there was nothing to be angry or disappointed about.
She got up and followed Prince Fu to the flower hall.
The flower hall of the general's mansion was decorated festively and decently today.
Because it was also built in the way of a greenhouse, it felt warm as spring when you came in.
Everyone felt a little curious, but they thought it was caused by the burning of the ground dragon.
There were many royal family members, so they naturally had to be the guests of honor.
The rest were arranged according to their respective seats in the court, and there was nothing wrong.
Men and women sat together.
When the prince and the princess were about to sit down, Mrs. Gu was supported by her third and fourth aunts and walked out.
When he saw her coming, the prince walked over and asked with concern.
"Is the old lady okay?"
"Nothing, nothing, a little problem made the prince worried."
"What are you talking about? My mother cares about you more than me. If she wasn't busy with palace affairs, she would have come to congratulate you."
Hearing this, Princess Fu couldn't help but flash a little dissatisfaction in her eyes.
I don't know what kind of magic potion the Gu family gave to Queen Guo?
She has been married to the palace for more than ten years, and it can be seen that Queen Guo's days are not even a month in total.
This includes most of the palace banquets that must be attended.
It can be said that the two of them have no private interactions.
Princess Yuehua took her to see Queen Guo twice, but she was dismissed with indifference.
So Princess Fu still thought it was because Queen Guo was cold.
But now it seems that she is very caring, isn't she?
Old Madam Gu is here, and the protagonist is also here, so the feast naturally started happily.
With the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess present, even if everyone had other thoughts like Princess Fu, they would not come out to cause trouble at this time.
The Fourth Prince also wanted to make friends with Shang Ji, so naturally there would be no conflicts.
Therefore, the meal was quite harmonious and comfortable.
However, the Fourth Prince could not help but look at Gu Xiaolang twice more, and the meaning was self-evident.
Madam Gu and Du Jingyi were not blind, and they felt depressed and did not think this was a good marriage.
Not to mention that they were now biased towards the Crown Prince, even if they were impartial, Gu Xiaolang would not have anything to do with him.
The most important thing was that the Fourth Prince already had a wife.
If Gu Xiaolang entered the mansion, she would at most be a concubine.
Given the current situation of the Gu family, it was considered a bit too high, but Madam Gu would not agree to let her granddaughter become a concubine.
Even if a concubine was not considered a concubine, it was still the same if she could be listed in the royal jade plate.
So the fourth prince was not even a good match for her.
The two of them could see it, and the crown prince and the crown princess could see it too.
The couple looked at each other, and their eyes vaguely looked at the fourth son of the prime minister's mansion, Guo Ziyong.
At a young age, he has already served as a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Rites.
He is also a man with a promising future. If he can have a good relationship with the only daughter of the Gu family, it will be icing on the cake for both families.
Thinking of this, the crown prince's eyes were directed to Prime Minister Guo.
Although Prime Minister Guo also had the idea of winning over the merchants and the Gu family for the crown prince, he did not want to have a gap because of the marriage of his grandchildren after decades of friendship with Old Lady Gu.
So, he did not directly agree to it.
Seeing Prime Minister Guo's attitude, Old Lady Gu was also comforted.
Power is important, but years of friendship are also important.
If Prime Minister Guo really opened his mouth for the crown prince, then even if Guo Ziyong was an excellent choice, he would be classified as a non-choice in her eyes.
Now she has no children or grandchildren, only this granddaughter.
If even her marriage has to be used as a weight, to help this one, to bind that one, then she, as a grandmother, is too bad.
So in the heart of Mrs. Gu, it is better to let her granddaughter choose for herself.
In a meal, those who understand it eat for the human relations and the ways of the world, and those who don't understand it naturally eat for the fragrance of the food.
After the meal, they went to the back mountain to see the scenery of ice sculptures and snow piles with interest.
Everyone also praised the excellent craftsmanship of these masters, and at the same time, they had some new understanding of the wife of the general's mansion, Mrs. Du.
At least it can be seen that she is a very smart person with clever ideas and insights, and she is highly valued by the Gu family and Shang Ji.
Therefore, Du Jingyi, who was not much concerned in the Duke's Mansion, has now become a hot commodity.
Everyone rushed to praise her.
"Young Madam is really capable. It's possible to find such a master."
"Madam, you are too kind. It's just some tricks. Just watch for fun."
"Young Madam, don't be modest. Just now in the flower hall, I was a little curious. I didn't see charcoal burning or ground heating, but the room was warm and comfortable. What's going on?"
After a lady spoke up, many people followed suit.
Seeing this, Madam Xing stood up and praised Du Jingyi.
"I'm not saying that this child is really a treasure. Our Liu Lang found him. This flower hall is not that flower hall, but it was built in a different way, so it's so comfortable to stay in it in winter. Several courtyards in the general's mansion also have them built. Compared with charcoal burning and ground heating, they are much better."
She already had prestige among the ladies, and after she spoke up like this, everyone became curious.
"What special construction method? I've never heard of it."
Seeing this, Du Jingyi knew that business was coming.
So, she smiled and said.
"The bricklaying team was found by Madam Dou. They had several blueprints for building the greenhouse. I saw them and thought they were pretty good, so I asked them to rush to build a few of them. I didn't expect them to be really comfortable, so I also changed the flower hall."
"Otherwise, when we gather here to eat in winter, the food gets cold quickly and we lose our appetite."
It's the end of the month~~~~I hope the sisters will vote more~~~Thank you~~
