Although in the Great Chen Court, Young Master was not necessarily linked to the crown prince, but to make the Second Prince so ambiguous was at least somewhat tormenting. At the moment, the His Majesty was even tied to Gu Yun, and it was unknown what the His Majesty was thinking.

It was understandable that His Majesty would reward Gu Yun for his actions, but at his age, it was not wise to bring up matters of business with his father-in-law. However, if there was anything wrong with the reward, he had to push him towards the heart of the matter, and that way, Gu Yun would definitely become a part of the Second Prince. His Majesty's intentions could not be any clearer, as he guessed that Second Prince would not be far from being brought up as a Crown Prince.

There is a high possibility that he will become the crown prince's master in the future, and there will be many people who will doubt his words. But His Majesty has one attitude, and that is to say that we think it is good that our His Majesty thinks it is good, so no one dared to bring up who our son chose as his teacher. It is obvious that the His Majesty trusts and values the Lord Gu, and that the only thing left to do is to curry favor with him.

"His Majesty is forcing me to die." Gu Yun lied on his back in King Jin's study, his legs were on the table. He had only been back to work for half a month, and he was so tired that he did not want to speak.

King Jin had an expression of watching a good show, "To think that your Master Gu had been deserted for more than twenty years, and suddenly became our Great Chen's hot topic. How great is the difference in your mentality, you better hold on."

Gu Yun really wanted to throw something over, who is he standing up for? This old man has been busy as a top every day, how could I possibly be able to get a wife at home. "

The King Jin laughed, "But don't you feel that the His Majesty is very strange?"

"It's indeed strange. If he wants to protect Second Prince, why does he have to be tied together with me? Does he want to protect it or not?"

First of all, the Second Prince was not weak, and there were only many people who wanted to protect him, not just in terms of Shen Family and Elder Official Xie, just these two great buddhas were enough, not to mention that Gu Yun was openly tied to the Elder Official Xie, so the actions of the His Majesty seemed to be unnecessary at first glance.

But what if His Majesty was just watching, or wanted to use Gu Yun or the Marquis Anfeng Palace to restrain their Shen Family, His Majesty was very good at this kind of trump card that could restrain each other, but while he was trapping them, he also increased their Shen Family, so the bad guys had already been made into Gu Yun, or maybe His Majesty was simply trying to use him to get rid of their Shen Family.

King Jin also understood the crux of the matter, "His Majesty definitely doesn't like to see his own Shen Family to be unparalleled. If my son is unable to control himself in the future, there'll be someone to help him." King Jin looked at Gu Yun with interest, "But why would His Majesty feel that you have the ability to help him?"

While Gu Yun was holding onto Xie Family, there was a high chance that it would involve Sheng Family as well. If His Majesty suspected that Gu Yun was connected to the palace, then it seemed that it would make sense if they were to take this step, but on the other hand, the His Majesty probably did not trust Gu Yun.

"That's just one thing." Gu Yun muttered to himself, "What I am most worried about is the other point, I am afraid that Second Prince's body …"

King Jin was surprised, "Are you sure?"

Gu Yun did not deny it, "This is the most likely scenario, otherwise, why would His Majesty still wait and see?

"The His Majesty might already suspect the existence of the Old Man Ji. You should be careful." King Jin scratched his nose, "This is the trouble that I expected."

Gu Yun rubbed his brows and sighed, "His Majesty still wants to protect Second Prince."

The King Jin snorted, "He is truly as naive as ever. He needs to be able to protect himself even if he wants to.

Gu Yun thought, that was originally a position that could make people lose their way, if it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't even be able to see through it.

When Tian'er had completely warmed up, Xie Jingxi had been invited by the Lady Sun to Zheng Fengqing's villa. Today was not a banquet, it was purely to invite her over as a guest.

"It's finally warm today, so I'll have to ask you to come over to the manor and play when you're free." Lady Sun accompanied Xie Jingxi around the manor, "It's rare for me to come here to relax and relax, and coincidentally, the matter with our young uncle has been resolved.

The young master of the Zheng Family originally wanted to meet the six young miss, but unfortunately, he did not see her as the young master already had a girl he liked, which was his mother's cousin. Only at the last moment did he say it out loud, which saved him a lot of trouble, and after that, Chen Du's mother, Mrs. Chen, also went to the Xie Family to bring up the matter of marriage with the six young miss.

"Compared to you, I'm just an idler." Xie Jingxi laughed and said, "I always admire you for being so capable, like me, winter is afraid of the cold, summer is afraid of the heat, it's so easy to reach spring, and you've even added to your laziness. I wish that you could just throw everything that happened at home away, I hate myself so much that I hate myself."

Lady Sun looked at her, "Don't tell me that something good is about to happen. When I was just getting married, I was like you, lying on the ground motionlessly all day long."

Xie Jingxi did not think that way. Although he and Gu Yun had reached a tacit understanding between themselves, it had only been half a month, and at the very least, they were not as fast as they were before.

"You are quite open-minded." Lady Sun laughed, and then started to talk about other things, "Do you know about what happened in the palace a few days ago?"

Lady Sun was talking about the matter of Second Prince choosing a prince and his wife. As for the specific selection process, it was not known to outsiders, but the outcome was outside of everyone's expectations.

Even Xie Jingxi was surprised, she had guessed that the Zheng Family was not pleasing to the eye, and would probably think of ways to stop Zhang Yushi from being elected, but she also did not think that it would be a bargain for Xu Jingshu, since Zhang Yushi could originally be a concubine, or something like that. If she were to succeed as the Second Prince, she would at least be a concubine, but Zhang Yushi was probably too arrogant, and was not willing to be a concubine, so there was nothing for her.

Since the Lady Sun said it like that, then there must be a story. Xie Jingxi asked: "Could it be that there is some other inside story?"

Actually, with her character, she could barely manage to become a prince concubine, but it just so happens that she did succeed. I heard from the Empress that the young lady of the Zhang family had a conflict with a maid of the palace, and I heard that she had even fought with her. It was your young cousin who had come forward to be a good person.

This could be considered normal, Xu Jingshu was someone who would recruit people, and who knew how many times she had been tricked by her. Xie Jingxi snorted in his heart, as he did not like her from the bottom of his heart.

"This isn't the end of it." Lady Sun continued to speak, "Take a guess, this scene just happened to be seen by Second Prince and Imperial Noble Consort Shen, who knows if Second Prince's eyes were bad, and took a fancy to Miss Xu Family, and said that she would not ask for an appearance, it was better this way, so she actually went to His Majesty herself, and insisted on asking Xu Jingshu."

That's why she usually looks down upon the beautiful and elegant girls in the aristocratic families the most. Xu Jingshu was probably the most ordinary amongst the group of girls, although she had the same appearance as Jing Chai Bu Yi, but it was easy for people to see the simplicity of a small family from her face, and also the side where she emitted her virtue. Thus, she felt that it was because he had sent over to round him out his intentions, our Second Prince set the terms.

Xie Jingxi felt it was funny, "Fate is destined, it cannot be decided by others."

Although the Xu Family has declined, the grandson and daughter of the Minister Xu can be considered to be from a famous family, and is also related to your family, so they are truly worthy of being called that. The Imperial Noble Consort Shen followed Second Prince's wishes, and the His Majesty did not stop her. "

In comparison to the Zhang Family, the Imperial Noble Consort Shen was naturally willing to rope him in. Although it was a turn, it could be considered to be linked, and since the Second Prince himself liked it, there was nothing much to say, and felt that the Imperial Noble Consort Shen was very smart, Imperial Noble Consort Shen knew that Shen Family was a big attraction, and thus, the His Majesty had started to fear him. If the Second Prince were to marry a famous family or clan, although there was nothing wrong with it, it would appear that the His Majesty respected the Second Prince's decision on the surface, but in reality, the Imperial Noble Consort Shen was very good at capturing the His Majesty.

Walking into a pavilion, Lady Sun and Xie Jingxi sat on a stone bench as they drank tea, Xie Jingxi asked, "Is there anything wrong with Eldest Young Master?"

Feng Qing stayed there to negotiate. She even heard that there was a merchant house that had helped her sell most of the silk tea leaves at a high price, and then sold them at a normal price. The price of the tea leaves had already been settled, and the local citizens had stopped trying to raise the price.

The agreement between Xie Jingxi and the Lady Sun was taciturn. Zheng Family and the Gu Family could be considered as people on the same boat, and because of Xie Jingxi's words, which caused chaos in the entire Southwest, from the Gu Family's perspective, it was only sincere for them to always have to solve the problem for. The Lady Sun was probably trying to probe if the involved merchant guild had anything to do with Gu Yun.

"Speaking of the market, I don't understand, but I think there are people who want to take this opportunity to get a share of the profits, and there are many merchants in the Southwest region who are going against their will, as for which side they are on, I am not very sure, but said a few days ago that the His Majesty was very angry with the corrupt officials who colluded with the evil merchants, and seems like they are going to use knives."

Lady Sun understood tacitly, and nodded her head, thinking that everything would be fine once she made up his mind.
