Chapter 220 Everyone will know that Zimo is his eldest son
"Returning to Your Highness the Princess, there were many witnesses to the bidding at the food festival last time. At that time, it was Princess Yongjia who repeatedly opposed the daughter of the people. It was Princess Yongjia who was rich and powerful. The daughter of the people was not the opponent of Princess Yongjia, so she lost to Princess Yongjia.
How could His Highness turn around and relegate the princess to the princess?" Gu Xiyan replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Princess Duanqing slammed her palm on the table: "Don't blur the point! I would like to ask you, are you colluding with Jixianglou to deliberately raise the bid to lure Yongjia into the trap?"
"The daughter of the common people has not colluded with Jixianglou, why did Your Highness throw dirty water on the daughter of the common people!" Gu Xiyan straightened her spine and looked magnanimous: "It was clearly the princess who told me that not only did she want to steal my fiancée, but she also
She also wanted to grab everything I wanted. As soon as I made a bid, the princess followed suit. It was the princess who had been deliberately tit for tat with me! The princess also said at the time that she wanted to ask your majesty for a marriage, and said she wanted to marry Mr. Zhou.
, being an equal wife, she also said that I was no match for her. The onlookers at that time all witnessed how aggressive the princess was, and Her Royal Highness the Princess could have confronted those people."
"What a so-called noble girl with sharp teeth!" Princess Duanqing sneered and raised her lips.
The old lady frowned when she heard this and continued: "Everyone knows what kind of temper our Sister Xi is like. She has a gentle temper and never fights with others. If Princess Yongjia hadn't bullied others too much, Sister Xi
I will never have a dispute with Princess Yongjia. Please be clear to the Queen Mother!"
When the Queen Mother "invited" Gu Xiyan here, she had planned to use palace lynching against Gu Xiyan.
There were many lynchings in the palace, and Aunt Zhao was a master of lynching. No one could survive when Aunt Zhao took action, and she believed that Gu Xiyan would be no exception.
But Mrs. Liu also came with her.
Marquis Wanqing was a close official of the emperor, and the Marquis Wanqing's mansion had one of the best positions in the aristocratic circles of the capital. Otherwise, Zhou Xing would not have proposed marriage to Liu Chaoyan so quickly after he backed out of Gu Xiyan's marriage.
The Queen Mother had been immersed in the harem for many years and knew that Emperor Chengde was not an emperor who could be manipulated at will. Before that, the mother-son relationship between her and Emperor Chengde had always been very good.
If she tortures Gu Xiyan today in front of Mrs. Liu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to explain.
Just when the Queen Mother was hesitant, the voice of the servant of the Hou Mansion sounded again: "Master Zhou, please stop..."
Before the servant finished speaking, a man wearing a crimson official robe strode over.
The visitor is none other than Zhou Mu.
When the Queen Mother and Princess Duan Qing saw Zhou Mu's appearance clearly, their eyes lit up.
I saw this young man with a straight and slender figure, a standing posture like a pine tree, a handsome face, and a noble temperament, like an immortal descended from the sky. He is truly unique and unique in the world.
No wonder Yongjia was fascinated as soon as she saw Zhou Mu. Who could not love such a peerless appearance?
Zhou Mu entered the hall and immediately stood next to Gu Xiyan, looking her up and down. After making sure that she was okay, the sigh that was hanging in his heart finally fell safely.
Gu Xiyan knew that he was worried, so she gave him a reassuring look, saying that she was fine and asking him not to worry.
Zhou Mu touched her head with a comforting tone.
Afterwards, he paid his respects to the Queen Mother and Princess Duanqing, saluted the old lady, and explained the purpose of his visit: "I heard that the Queen Mother called Xi Yan over for questioning, so I came here specially. If it is for the purpose of participating in the Jixianglou Food Festival
I was also present at the time of what happened, so I can be a personal witness."
Only then did the Queen Mother come back to her senses from Zhou Mu's unparalleled beauty. She dared to admit that Mr. Zhou came in such a hurry to protect Gu Xiyan
"Yongjia insisted that Gu Xiyan deliberately set a trap for her to fall into, and she was cheated out of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver by Miss Gu. Furthermore, Yongjia also said that the reason why her appearance was ruined was because of Gu's interference!"
The Queen Mother took time to calm down and said: "The Ai family has sent people to investigate the records of Jixiang Tower..."
"When I go back to the Queen Mother, the recordkeeper of Jixiang Tower just happened to bring it over. Please take a look at it!" Zhou Mu stepped forward and handed over the record book of Jixiang Tower.
The Queen Mother took a deep look at Zhou Mu and took the record book. After reading it carefully, she found that there was no problem. The shopkeeper who recorded the record ten years ago was Wu Tong.
She frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Even if there is no problem in keeping the file, it doesn't mean that Mr. Gu has no contact with Wu Tong in private. Let's just bring everyone in Jixiang Tower here, and the Ai family will question it in person!" Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan after hearing this, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He had already guessed that Gu Xiyan was the person behind the food festival in Jixianglou.
The food festival is such a big one, and there are many chefs participating in it. If there is one wrong tone, the Queen Mother will not let Gu Xiyan go easily.
But then he thought about it, what if everyone knew that Gu Xiyan was the one behind the food festival?
It was Princess Yongjia who fell into the trap voluntarily, and no one forced Princess Yongjia. It was clearly Princess Yongjia who fell into Xiyan's scheme because she was not smart enough. Princess Yongjia can only blame Princess Yongjia for being stupid.
Gu Xiyan received the look from Zhou Mu and deeply doubted whether Zhou Mu knew that she was the mastermind behind Jixiang Tower.
She and Zhou Mu looked at each other and stood aside calmly, without any panic on their faces.
After the Queen Mother gave the order, someone went to Jixiang Tower to bring the person over for questioning.
Before the shopkeeper and waiters of Jixianglou arrived, Emperor Chengde came to Xuanchanghou Mansion.
Neither the Queen Mother nor Princess Duanqing expected that Emperor Chengde would suddenly arrive.
Everyone in the room was greeting Emperor Chengde, but Emperor Chengde stood in front of Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan and took the lead in exempting them from the courtesy.
Emperor Cheng De patted Zhou Mu on the shoulder and looked at Zhou Mu with particularly loving eyes.
The Queen Mother saw this detail in her eyes and frowned slightly.
Emperor Chengde has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the power of the dragon is so great that even when facing other princes and princesses, the Queen Mother has never seen such loving eyes in the eyes of Emperor Chengde.
The look in Zhou Mu's eyes now was so kind that she thought she was dazzled.
After Emperor Chengde took his seat, the Queen Mother asked: "How come the emperor, a busy man, has left the palace?"
"I heard that something happened in Yongjia, so I came here specially to have a look. I didn't want it to be so lively."
While Emperor Cheng De was talking, he saw Zhou Mu standing side by side with Gu Xiyan. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her: "Zi Mo and Gu Yatou are really a match made in heaven."
The affection in his eyes cannot be concealed, and he has no intention of concealing it.
Anyway, soon everyone will know that Zimo is his eldest son.
Upon seeing this, the corner of Princess Duanqing's lips showed a sneer.
The emperor's brother said he was here to see Yongjia, but he never mentioned Yongjia again. Instead, he praised Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu as a good match. The emperor's brother was talking to an outsider
It's just that she is unhappy, but she still agrees with it.
I was groggy, but as soon as I saw the score rise to ., haha, I felt sober again in an instant. Thanks to the little fairies for their support.
