The first thousand one hundred and forty-six chapters
The room was covered with floor coverings and was already very warm. Gong Yueyue was holding a hand stove in her hand and couldn't help but raise her hand and yawned.
Seeing her like this, the old lady smiled and poked her forehead, "You girl, why are you becoming more and more lazy?"
"When did my grandmother learn from her mother?" Gong Yueyue touched her forehead and leaned in front of the old lady. "Look, look, are there any marks on my forehead?"
After taking one look at her smooth forehead, the old lady couldn't help smiling and poked her again with her fingertips, "You girl, you have learned how to complain first to evildoers."
Gong Yueyue chuckled and leaned on her shoulder, with a bit of coquettishness.
The old lady stretched out her hand to touch the top of her hair and sighed in a low voice, "She is becoming more and more clingy. She has reached the age where she should get married."
Gong Yueyue smiled slightly, stroking her hair with her fingers, "When you get married, you can't stick to your grandmother anymore?"
The old lady tilted her head and glanced at her, and said teasingly: "Don't you and the girl never accept such words? Why do you want to get married?"
"How could I!" Gong Yueyue raised her head, "I, I just followed my grandmother's words and kept up with her words!"
The old lady looked at her and laughed, "Look, this little face is red." Looking at Yun Luo beside her, "It seems that the two of us have to hurry up and look for her."
"Grandma!" Gong Yueyue shouted angrily.
Yun Luo also smiled and said to the old lady: "It's time to find someone to take good care of her."
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Gong Yueyue's face turned a little red.
The old lady and Yun Luo looked at each other, and their laughter became more cheerful.
Gong Yueyue was embarrassed and annoyed on the side, so she could only snort and turn away.
Seeing her like this, the smile on the old lady's face did not disappear. She looked at Gong Yueyue, feeling satisfied and fond in her heart.
In the past few years, she has seen every change in Gong Yueyue. The sharpness and indifference all over her body have faded away. Not only has she become more restrained, but she has also gained more calmness. Now her magnanimity and elegance are probably not there.
No one will fall for it.
The marriage contract with Li Changqi has always been used as a pretext, so that the Gong Mansion can be so quiet, otherwise the person who wants to marry may have to cross the threshold of the Gong Mansion.
But now that she has reached the age of getting married, this engagement has become an obstacle.
Thinking about it, her tone gradually became serious, and she said to Yun Luo: "This is not just a joke. Yueyue is getting older every day, and it is really time to worry about this marriage. It's just that the eldest prince,
I should call him Prince..."
The smile on Yun Luo's face also faded a bit, "I understand what the old lady means. It would be fine if he really is a legitimate prince, but... I, a housewife, shouldn't talk too much about these things.
, but after all, it’s about Yueyue’s second half of her life, so I dare to say something.”
"That's not true." The old lady said, "I don't agree with this marriage at all, let alone it's just a verbal agreement."
Yun Luo glanced at Gong Yueyue and said, "If we break the contract casually, I'm afraid it will damage Yueyue's reputation. But if we drag it on forever, that won't work either."
After listening to her words, the old lady's face also looked a little worried, and she whispered: "It's because I didn't think carefully. I should have made plans in advance."
Gong Yueyue had already turned around. After hearing what she said, she immediately said: "This has nothing to do with my grandmother. Even if I had made plans in advance, I would still have to break up with King Zhennan. It is really not right to delay this matter.
There's no way, even if I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid King Zhennan will be too."
The old lady nodded, with a more worried look on her face, "The prince is indeed not young anymore. He has been busy with affairs in the country for the past two years and has probably not paid much attention to them. Although the border has been uneasy in the past year, the country is relatively stable.
Yes, for the sake of the power in his hands, the emperor will also ask the prince to marry you as soon as possible."
"Grandma, don't worry." Gong Yueyue didn't have the slightest worry on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, "Since we can't say this, let the prince say it first!"
The old lady's eyes lit up when she looked at her, "You mean..."
Gong Yueyue couldn't hide the coldness in her eyes even if she smiled, "So, grandma doesn't have to worry about this matter."
As soon as these words were said, the maid from outside came in with a box and said: "Old Madam, madam, young lady." After saluting, she then said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a basket of fresh tangerines.
, I said it was for the old lady to have a taste."
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately laughed, looked at Gong Yueyue and said, "I don't think this prince will speak so easily."
Gong Yueyue felt annoyed, her face darkened, and she said to the maid: "I know, you can go down."
Seeing the maid retreat, Yun Luo also glanced at Gong Yueyue with some worry. After all, no one knew her worries better than she, a mother, and this matter couldn't really get out of hand.
Sensing her gaze, Gong Yueyue raised her head and glanced at her, smiled slightly to reassure her, and said to the old lady with a smile: "It is a bit more difficult, but it doesn't mean there is no hope at all."
The old lady smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you first. If that doesn't work, there will be grandmother and your mother as well. Don't try to be brave. After all, this Li Changqi has been in love with you for so many years, and he is very young.
I haven’t married a concubine for so long. This emotional matter is not that easy to control, but don’t delay it until things can’t be reversed.”
Gong Yueyue had a bit of sarcasm on her eyebrows. Others didn't know it, but she, as the person involved, knew it best. Li Changqi looked at her as if he were looking at a peerless vase. He was only possessive, and he was probably just a piece of cake to him.
An expensive decoration, talking about love, it’s just a joke!
"Grandma, don't worry, my granddaughter knows what's going on."
Over the years, through Zhao Changyuan's secret operations, although the Liao Kingdom was not particularly strong, it had been winning battles and had gradually eroded nearly half of the Lingtian Kingdom's territory.
Gong Yueyue also developed her own intelligence network based on Zhao Changyuan's intelligence network and based in Qinghe County, which radiated throughout the Liao Kingdom and even penetrated into the Lingtian Kingdom.
Among them, all the contact and information sharing between her and Zhao Changyuan were handed over to Jinxu. This is the most critical point. If something happens to Jinxu, both she and Zhao Changyuan will be in the dark, and no one's news will be known.
It cannot be transmitted to the other party.
Jin Su naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, so she immediately responded and turned around to go out.
As a result, as soon as he reached the door, Jinxu jumped in from the window, with a somewhat anxious look on his face.
When she saw it was her, Gong Yueyue immediately stood up and asked, "Why did you come here so late? What happened?"
Jinxu shook his head and couldn't breathe evenly.
"Don't be anxious, let's talk slowly." Seeing that she was okay, Gong Yueyue calmed down and said to Jin Su on the side: "Pour her a glass of water." (To be continued)
