There were also some noble ladies who thought that the position of the Crown Princess was within their grasp. After learning the news, they were absolutely furious.

I don’t know how many sets of expensive porcelain tea cups I broke in my boudoir.

No one is stupid and can understand what the position of the grand concubine means.

That's the closest to the queen's position.

After all, the current Holy Emperor's love for His Highness Taisun is obvious to everyone, and he is the most likely to inherit the throne.

Early the next morning, following the order from Prime Minister Pei, the entire mansion began to get busy preparing the dowry for Shen Jintang.

Pei Jingxue looked at all this and almost bit her silver teeth into pieces with hatred.

But things that made her even more jealous and jealous were yet to come.

The emperor's grandson Gu Baiyi personally came to pick Shen Jintang out for fun.

Gu Baiyi was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with a delicate and handsome face and graceful grace. When he walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he smiled at everyone he saw.

Anyone can tell that Gu Baiyi is in a good mood.

The servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion have all seen Gu Baiyi, but they have never seen him in such a good mood.

When she learned that Gu Baiyi was coming, Bai Zhi trotted into Shen Jintang's yard to tell her: "Girl, girl, Your Majesty the Grand Sun is here."

Shen Jintang was sitting at the dressing table and letting Qingdai do her makeup. Hearing this, she was about to speak when she heard a servant come to report: "Girl, His Majesty the Grandson has come to the palace and is now talking to the master in the main hall. The master asked you to come over. ."

Shen Jintang nodded, reached out and took out a pair of earrings from the jewelry box and put them on, turned back to look at the person, smiled slightly and said: "I understand, let's get over it."

The servant was almost dazzled by Shen Jintang's smile, and he was stunned and forgot to react.

When he walked out of the yard, he suddenly realized.

"My dear, the girl is so beautiful. No wonder she is attracted by His Majesty the Grand Sun." He murmured to himself as he walked forward and couldn't help but look back.

"Ouch!"

A man dressed as a servant was staggering while carrying a bucket: "Liu Er, what are you looking at?"

The servant named Liu Er also covered his head that was hurt by the hit and looked at him: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

After Shen Jintang finished dressing, she took Bai Zhi, Qingdai and Poria to the main hall.

In the main hall, Prime Minister Pei and Pei Heng were drinking tea with Gu Baiyi and waiting for Shen Jintang.

When they heard the news from the servants that Shen Jintang was coming, everyone couldn't help but look outside.

I saw four women walking outside the main hall, and the leader was Shen Jintang.

She wore a light pink dress and a jade tassel hairpin on her glossy black hair.

Qingdai even specially placed flower buds between her eyebrows.

This adds a bit of fairy-like air to her earthly demeanor.

Shen Jintang usually dresses simply and only needs to be comfortable, and this time there are not too many complicated headwear on her head.

Moreover, she rarely wears makeup, and this is the first time she has seen such exquisite makeup.

The light pink dress and makeup also match well.

For a moment, Gu Baiyi and others couldn't help but be stunned.

It wasn't until the faint medicinal fragrance from Shen Jintang's body mixed with their breath that Gu Baiyi suddenly came back to his senses.

My ears were unknowingly stained with a hint of crimson.

Prime Minister Pei smiled and watched Shen Jintang salute one by one, and then pretended to casually glance at the red tips of Gu Baiyi's ears.

"We meet as a family without looking up. We can talk anytime. Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Baiyi again, stood up and saluted him and said, "Your Highness, I won't waste your time anymore."

Shen Jintang followed Gu Baiyi out of the Prime Minister's Mansion side by side.

At the gate, a low-key and luxurious carriage was parked quietly.

Gu Baiyi helped Shen Jintang get into the carriage. His gentle and considerate look made the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion see it and couldn't help running to tell him.

It didn't take long for the news to reach Pei Jingxue's ears.

"Tang'er, is there anywhere you want to go?" On the carriage, Gu Baiyi looked at Shen Jintang with a gentle smile and asked.

Shen Jintang doesn’t have any particular place he wants to go.

What's more, since Gu Baiyi came to pick her up so early in the morning, he must have made arrangements early in the morning.

"It's up to you."

Gu Baiyi nodded and ordered outside the car: "Go to Nanshan Villa."

Nanshan Villa was awarded to Gu Baiyi by the emperor when his father was crowned prince.

Later, after the prince died, the emperor took back this place and gave it to Gu Baiyi.

As the name suggests, Nanshan Villa is built on the hillside of Nanshan Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.

The carriage swayed for nearly three hours before finally arriving at Nanshan Courtyard.

"Your Highness, we're here." The guard's voice came from outside the car curtain.

Gu Baiyi got off the carriage, and immediately a maid was ready to help Shen Jintang get out of the carriage.

But Gu Baiyi waved his hand to stop him.

Then, under the gaze of many guards and maids, he lifted the car curtain and helped Shen Jintang get out of the carriage with his own hands.

When the guards and maids saw this, their jaws almost dropped.

Gu Baiyi rarely came here before. Even when he came, he came on horseback and arrived in more than an hour.

But I didn’t expect the carriage to be so slow.

Now that noon has passed, he feels distressed and guilty when he thinks that Shen Jintang only ate two cakes and a cup of tea on the carriage.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have come here.

"Has lunch been arranged?"

"Back to Your Highness, arrangements have been made."

Gu Baiyi nodded and turned to look at Shen Jintang. Seeing that she was looking at the scenery here with great interest, he smiled and said: "You are hungry, Tang'er, let's go have lunch first."

Shen Jintang was indeed hungry, so he didn't show any pretense and nodded with a smile.

After lunch, Gu Baiyi took Shen Jintang around here.

"Tang'er, slow down." Gu Baiyi stepped onto the boat in one stride, turned around and extended his hand to Shen Jintang.

Shen Jintang didn't hesitate and put her hand directly into his palm.

Although the two had been interested in each other before, they had never been intimate.

Therefore, when their palms met, their hearts skipped a beat.

After getting on the boat, Gu Baiyi held Shen Jintang's hand tightly but did not let go.

This is a lake built with some lotus roots scattered in it.

Nowadays, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is continuously spread into the breath.

Shen Jintang reached out and picked a few lotus flowers and lotus leaves.

Gu Baiyi was very puzzled when he saw this.

He can understand picking lotus flowers, but what is the use of picking lotus leaves?

"Ayi, today I will make lotus cakes and beggar's chicken for you to try."

Shen Jintang held up the lotus in his hand and smiled at Gu Baiyi.

Seeing her bright smile, Gu Baiyi couldn't help but smile and nod.
