Princess Danyang was sitting in the front hall drinking tea, all dressed up, with crimson skirts layered on the side of the chair.
The embroidered shoes of Gongzao are half hidden under it, with a reserved and noble aura.
She is Dongling's concubine, the only concubine.
But until today, hearing the news from the second prince, did she feel what kind of arrogance she should have as a princess, and how noble she should be.
Taking a sip of the tea, her mellow and white fingers slowly loosened, and she closed her knees with demeanor.
Qi Zhouhou was outside the door, taking a quick glance at her from the bottom of his eyes.
This is not the first time Princess Danyang has come to the Hou Mansion, but for some reason, he feels that Princess Danyang is a little different today...
The familiar sound of footsteps came, and Princess Danyang was about to get up to greet her. She suddenly remembered something, but she adjusted her dress to make herself look more perfect.
Gu Shubai walked towards her and arched his hands, "Princess."
She just got up, bowed her knees and said, "Brother Shubai."
Gu Shubai saw that the second prince was not here. Princess Danyang had always come with the second prince or with other aristocratic young ladies. How could she come alone today
It's not like a whim.
"What's the matter with the princess?"
Princess Danyang was wondering how to greet her so that she could speak her words unobtrusively, but Gu Shubai saw through her intentions at a glance.
She was suddenly discouraged.
Even in the eyes of outsiders, she is the most noble princess, she should save time in front of Gu Shubai.
She was in front of him, with nowhere to hide.
"Brother Shubai, the house is boring. The weather has been warm recently. I remember that the Hou Mansion has built a new greenhouse. All the flowers in it must be blooming?"
This conservatory was built only a few years ago. Gu Huaijiang heard that girls like flowers at their homes, and thought that there were only trees and no flowers in the backyard of Guhou Mansion, so he hurriedly asked people to get this conservatory out.
In this way, the spring flowers can bloom even in severe cold winter days.
Princess Danyang was very fortunate that with this greenhouse, she would have one more excuse to come to Guhou Mansion in the future.
Gu Shubai hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways to give way, "In the backyard, please, the princess."
The two walked towards the backyard one after another. Princess Danyang was in front and Gu Shubai was three steps away behind her.
She slowed down several times, and Gu Shubai also slowed down with her, without any intention of approaching her.
She was quite discouraged, until she saw the greenhouse, she forgot to care about it.
The entire greenhouse is a wooden structure, built extremely tall, walking into it is like entering a sea of flowers, spring flowers of various colors bloom early.
The warm and moist breath makes people feel like a spring breeze. People walking through it, as if they are in the warm spring sun, and they feel relieved.
She couldn't help but look up. It turned out that not only was the floor heated enough in the greenhouse, but there were lamps hanging from her head.
The lamps are so huge that I don't know what kind of exquisite craftsmanship was used, and the candlelight radiates like sunlight.
It's amazing.
"Uncle Gu is a military man. He has always lived a simple life with little extravagance. It is really hard to imagine that he would spend all these manpower and resources to grow flowers."
As the Princess Danyang said, she stretched out her hand and stroked a bunch of delicate yellow peonies, smiling like a flower on her face.
Since ancient times, heroes have loved swords, and beauties have loved flowers. Princess Danyang is no exception.
Gu Shubai said: "If it were in the past, my father would naturally not do such things. But with Yufu, he did these things very smoothly. Your Majesty rewards Guhou Mansion every year, and the silver is finally available. "
Her hand was stagnant in the air, thinking that the sea of flowers in front of her could only be seen by the light of Yufu, she immediately pulled her hand back.
The delicate yellow peony is not beautiful in any way.
"Uncle Gu is really doting on Yufu. Isn't it okay to be a lady of the Guhou Mansion and do it for a lifetime? If Yufu becomes the wife of the eldest son, wouldn't it be hard to be Mrs. Hou in the future?"
Gu Shubai said indifferently: "Yufu can't be the Miss Hou Mansion for a lifetime. She always wants to marry. If she becomes the wife of someone else's family, without the protection of her father and our brothers, I'm afraid it will be even harder."
Princess Danyang looked terrified, and said courageously: "But the position of Mrs. Guhou Mansion's first son is very important. Since ancient times, marriages are about the right person. Although Yufu is good, she does not have the lintel of biological parents to rely on, and she will not help Guhou Mansion in the future. Once something happens in Guhou’s Mansion, there won’t even be any in-laws to help, right?”
The corners of Gu Shubai's mouth curled slightly, "Why doesn't Yufu rely on it? My Guhou Mansion is her reliance. Does the princess feel that this reliance is not enough?"
Princess Danyang said anxiously: "Brother Shubai, you only think about her, why don't you think about yourself? If the elder wife of Guhou Mansion is the sister of the current prince and the future eldest princess, then she will be safe forever. The emperor father has decided to make his second brother the prince. Uncle Gu should have already told you, right?"
Princess Danyang bit her lower lip, she had already spoken so directly, didn't Gu Shubai still understand
In the corner of the flower room, the tall rose bushes suddenly moved, and a red dress girl walked out of the flowers with her skirt like a fairy.
She looked at Princess Danyang with a smile, "If the second wife of Guhou Mansion is a descendant of Xianrengu, who can master the death of all people, then she will be safe forever."
