Chapter 77

"But Chu Yan is colluding with Lao Liu now. How can you win him over?"

"It depends on your highness." Gu Changyan said.

After a little thought, the fourth Prince understood what he meant: "do you want me to make friends with the Chu family?"

"It's not a show of kindness. The sixth Prince's biological mother is just a concubine with a low status. The Chu family can't get any benefits from following the sixth prince, but you are different. Your biological mother is the empress. What does the sixth Prince take with you?" said here, Gu Changyan smiled, "Besides, there is another Han Zhan. He has a close relationship with me. He will support you for my face. Chu Yan is very good with Han Zhan. Are you afraid that the Chu family will not stand on your side?"

Hearing the speech, the fourth Prince smiled: "you are a schemer."

The fourth Prince didn't think so much. He just thought that he had a crush on Chu Xi. In two years, he hired Chu Xi as his concubine. The Chu family had to stand with him. Even if they didn't stand with him, they should remain neutral. After all, Chu Xi was still in his hands.

However, the fourth prince will not tell Gu Changyan about these ideas.

Just said: "they say you have a good relationship with Han Zhan. Are you not afraid that he knows you use him to turn your face with you?"

Gu Changyan smiled very gently: "how can it be regarded as utilization? Just show him a clear way."

The fourth Prince smiled without saying anything. Gu Changyan seemed gentle and affectionate, but in fact he was the most cruel and smart. The key is to keep his mouth firm and rest assured.

This is also an important reason why he values Gu Changyan so much.

"By the way," the fourth Prince suddenly asked, "do you know the five girls of the Chu family?"

Gu Changyan asked, "Your Highness, how can you ask?"

"I look at her and look at you in the wrong way!" the fourth Prince smiled and thought, "you know I don't like this snake and scorpion woman. You'd better not involve her too much."

Gu Changyan knew that the fourth prince seemed to be joking with him, but in fact he was reminding and warning him.

Gu Changyan said with a smile, "Your Highness is worried too much. How can I be involved with her."

Seeing that Gu Changyan looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, the fourth prince said, "yes, you have a high vision. Ordinary women can't really get into your eyes."

Besides Chu Zhi, when she left, Han Zhan said to her, "try not to contact the fourth prince in the future."

Chu Zhi knew that he was concerned about himself and said with a smile, "how can a person of my status talk to the fourth prince? You calculate, the fourth Prince barely paid attention to me because you weren't there."

Han Zhan thought carefully and said, "in short, he is not a good man."

Chu Zhi couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"In the eyes of the fourth prince, I'm afraid the little marquis is not a good man?"

Han Zhan raised his eyebrow: "how tired a good man is! It's still my little overlord at ease."

Chu Zhi didn't expect that when she returned to the house at noon, the fourth Prince suddenly sent someone to send many tonics and cloth treasures and cakes in the afternoon.

This move even surprised the old lady.

After all, it was the fourth prince who personally rescued Xi'er from the water.

Fortunately, the old lady responded in time and ordered someone to fill the steward with a large bag of silver.

Asked: "please tell me, your highness, this is..."

The other party knew that the weight was not light when he weighed it in his sleeve. He was happy, and the smile on his face was deep. He patiently said, "Your Highness heard that the six girls in the family had just recovered from a serious illness. He felt that Lord Chu worked for the imperial court and was a loyal minister, so he specially ordered a small one to give gifts to express his condolences."

This

Seeing that the old lady was in doubt, the steward stepped forward and whispered, "the six girls in the family are very lucky. I'm afraid they will be honored and spoiled in the future."

After that, he stepped back and smiled at me: "Your Highness, I heard that six girls hurt their feet and bones for a hundred days. You must have a good life and rest. After a while, seven princesses will hold a poetry party. I heard that six girls are knowledgeable and a talented girl. Seven princesses are looking forward to the day. Please go and have fun."

Hearing the speech, the old lady became more and more suspicious.

After all, the old man who had experienced storms soon calmed down.

Then he sent another man to fill a large bag of silver.

The steward didn't expect that the officials of the Chu family were small, but they were so polite.

Suddenly, she smiled and said one more sentence: "six girls have the appearance of a city at a young age. It must be that people who don't wait for hairpin to propose marriage will break the threshold of Chu house. Only six girls have both virtue and talent. Marriage events must be carefully considered and shouldn't be too hasty."

The old lady nodded tremblingly: "thank you for telling me. I understand."

After sending the fourth Prince's people away, the old lady quickly said to mother Cao: "you should quickly block the news, put the things sent by the fourth Prince aside and place them properly. After zhang'er returns to the house, ask him to see me immediately. Before zhang'er returns to the house, you can't leak any information."

Mother Cao understood the importance of the matter and quickly nodded, "don't worry, old lady. I'll do it now."

If I was shocked at first, now I am afraid later.

She doesn't know how good it is. The fourth Prince has a crush on Xi'er.

At the thought of each other's identity, the old lady felt confused.

After Chu Zhanghui's residence, he heard about it and looked serious.

The old man said humanely: "the people who came to give gifts said clearly that the fourth Prince specially rewarded Xi'er. They also said that Xi'er was a man of great fortune. Before leaving, they made it clear that we should not interfere in Xi'er's marriage and should not make decisions without authorization. Tell me, what else can Xi'er be?"

"Speaking of it, the fourth Prince has never seen Xi'er. The last time he fell into the water by the lake, the fourth prince saved Xi'er, and there was no more involvement..." the old lady knew that it was because of that time that the fourth prince fell in love with Xi'er at first sight. "It's just that the fourth Prince is such a valuable person. What kind of woman have you never seen in heaven? How can you treat Xi'er..."

The old lady sighed heavily.

Even Chu Zhang nodded: "what my mother said is very true. If the person the fourth Prince looks at is Qing'er, it's reasonable. It's really puzzling that Xi'er is born."

The old lady glanced at Chu Zhang and snorted, "you still don't understand."

It's not that Xi'er is bad, but because Xi'er is too good, I'm worried.

As for what Chu Zhang said, I sneered.

It has always been a double standard for men to see women and for fathers to see daughters.

For a father, Chu Qing, a beautiful, gentle, dignified and virtuous woman, is a family style and worthy of love. On the contrary, Chu Xi, who is naive, arrogant and pitiful, feels a little petty.

As everyone knows, in the eyes of men, women like Chu Xi are the easiest to please people. They can always arouse men's desire for protection. In addition, Chu Xi is petite and thin, and has a pair of good skin, which is really icing on the cake.

On the contrary, Chu Qing, men will only respect each other like guests and give enough due respect and love. In the end, they are a little less gentle.
