Chapter 24: The Iron Tree Is About to Bloom

"Your Highness, what Wan Xiang said is right. In Beiling, both men and women have great defense capabilities. Your Highness and Wan Xiang are not relatives and have no relationship at all. It is inappropriate to call your girlfriend by her name casually.

Yes, please respect yourself, Your Highness."

Chu Wanxiang's attitude was noticed by Marquis Zhenbei. This Western minister seemed untrustworthy, so his words were very rude.

He took a step forward and stood beside Chu Wanxiang, supporting her as a strong backing.

"The Marquis is right. The military salute was indeed abrupt. Princess Minghuang, please forgive me.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was the general of Beiling and could not confront him head-on. No matter how dissatisfied Jun Li was, he could only swallow his anger and apologize respectfully.

"Your Highness will pay attention." Chu Wanxiang glanced at Junli and was about to leave. Just when she turned around, an arm was placed in front of her.

Tian Qing behind him immediately rushed forward and separated Junli's hand: "What are you doing, Your Highness?"

"Princess, don't get me wrong. There is no harm in asking about the water. It's just that there are some things I want to ask the princess to talk to alone."

Withdrawing his hand, Jun Li glanced at Gu Lingyi.

He accepted Chu Yan's commission and asked Chu Wanxiang for help.

How could he let Chu Wanxiang leave?

"Oh. I wonder what His Highness is doing."

The Master of Sanbao Palace, who had nothing to do, probably wanted her to help build a bridge to bring Chu Yan and his cousin together.

Chu Wanxiang knew Junli's plan, but she didn't say anything clearly. She just looked at him: "Your Highness should know that the people of Yujing are very discerning. Because the fifth princess told His Highness at the last winter banquet,

I misunderstood her through a few words. If I talk to His Royal Highness alone today, I am afraid that the relationship between Prince Ming and the fifth princess will become even more tense."

As he spoke, he looked at a carriage not far away.

The carriage is gorgeous and spacious, and standing under the window is Xiao Min's personal maid Xiyan.

Jun Li's eyes sank. This Xiao Min, since the last winter banquet, her presence has always been there no matter where he is. It's really annoying.

"If His Highness really has something to say, you might as well say it here."

She wanted to see how Junli would speak in front of her uncle.

"Oh, fourth brother, I think this Princess Ming Huang is just like you. She is very cunning. She clearly knows that what Jun Li wants to say cannot be said in front of the Marquis of Zhenbei. She wants someone to say it here."

Xiaoyun stared at Chu Mohan intently, with a smile in his eyes. What's more, Minghuang's cunning expression was very similar to that of his fourth brother.

"Is that what you said about your fourth brother?"

Chu Mohan smiled slightly: "I think you have had enough rest these days, why not help fourth brother solve the Shuoyue Gate matter?"

Xiaoyun's scalp was numb: "No, fourth brother, look, I'm just joking, don't..."

The guys from Shuomen are notoriously difficult to deal with, and they only give him fourth brother's face.

But this time, the emperor ordered the destruction of Shuoyuemen. If he really accepted the job, Nangongyue would not skin him.

He still explained his life obediently.

"Don't worry, I've already said hello. I believe Nangong won't embarrass you."

Chu Mohan patted the poor eighth brother on the shoulder, with an expression as if the matter was settled just like that.

He didn't pay any attention to him and continued to look at Chu Wanxiang.

Junli was stunned for a moment and was very dissatisfied with Chu Wanxiang.

Let him ask her for help in front of Marquis Zhenbei to let Gu Lingyi marry Chu Yan.

How could you say such a thing in front of others?

"Your Majesty, can you tell me? Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Chu Wanxiang sneered in his heart.

Junli glanced at her sadly, and then at Zhenbei Hou next to her.

After a while, he said with a smile: "Haha, it's not inconvenient to say it. This question is just to convey news on behalf of the third prince. His Royal Highness the third prince has a good impression of Miss Gu and wants to invite Miss Gu to go boating on the lake in three days.

.But it would be too abrupt to speak directly, and I am afraid of disturbing Miss Gu, so I want to ask Princess Minghuang to be the intermediary and help pick it up."

After all, Jun Li is a person who survives in the cracks. His mind is extremely flexible and his ability to adapt to changes is extremely strong.

But after a while, I came up with a reasonable wording and turned the persuasion into an invitation to go out. This would not offend the Marquis of Zhenbei but also satisfy Chu Yan's request.

"Swimming and rafting on the lake... His Highness the Third Prince is in a really good mood."

The cold wind in winter makes people shiver. Chu Yan even wants to go boating on the lake. Isn't he afraid of the cold?

"Lingyi is very grateful for the third prince's kindness, but the weather has been cold recently and Lingyi is feeling unwell. I'm afraid she won't be able to swim in the lake."

Gu Lingyi lowered his body and lowered his head to answer.

"Miss Gu is not in good health. That's just a coincidence. His Royal Highness the Third Prince has met many talented people recently. Among them is a woman with excellent medical skills. I heard that she has superb first-hand acupuncture skills and has made great achievements in treating women's diseases.

A great achievement. It would be great to have her help diagnose and treat Ms. Gu."

"This..." What I thought about was so easily shattered by Jun Li. Gu Lingyi wanted to refuse again, but couldn't think of any reason.

No matter what the other party says, he is also the prince of a country and the disciple of the third prince. If he refuses repeatedly, it would be completely unreasonable.

At this time, the third prince was annoyed with his concubine Lin Gui and didn't know how to deal with her.

"Since the third prince's kindness is hard to refuse, cousin, you might as well agree." Chu Wanxiang said.

It is a blessing or a curse, an inevitable disaster. With Junli's hard work, even if she can escape this time, she will not be able to escape the next time.

She simply agreed, and she just went along to see what kind of tricks they had up their sleeves.

"Fourth brother, do you think third brother will use bad tricks against girls?"

Seeing that Chu Wanxiang accepted the invitation, Xiaoyun approached Chu Mohan.

"She is not someone who is easily bullied." Chu Mohan stared at Chu Wanxiang intently.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, this fourth brother, the girl he is talking about is Gu Lingyi. What kind of temperament does Princess Minghuang have? I could see it when I listened to Fenglou before. Of course he knows that she is not easy to bully.

The proud smile on Chu Yun's face lingered for a long time. Is the fourth brother's iron tree about to bloom?

He loves Princess Minghuang so much, and it seems that he is going to get close to Princess Minghuang.

In this way, if the fourth brother bullies him in the future, he will still have someone to back him up.

Three days later, Chu Wanxiang accompanied Gu Lingyi to the bank of Yujing Lake, where a gorgeous boathouse was extremely eye-catching.

The materials used in the hull are expensive, and the sides of the hull are inlaid with pearls and jade. It is extremely luxurious. The hull is huge and can accommodate more than a hundred people.

The place where the boat stopped was extremely quiet, with almost no one around.
