Emperor Hui frowned slightly.

Gu Huaizhi has the ability and means. If he becomes an official in the court, he will be the first person that Emperor Hui is wary of.

He had tried many times to give the princess to Gu Huaizhi in order to consolidate his power. But he had always tried to block him back.

But during this gap, Gu Huaizhi proposed the marriage without any warning.

This had to make Emperor Hui think deeply.

He looked at the elegant man on the wheelchair carefully.

Did Gu Huaizhi realize that he wanted to promote the General's Office to replace the Duke's Office to eliminate future troubles?

Who will he marry?

The intertwined forces in the DPRK and China were already a major concern for him. There was no way Emperor Hui could allow powerful marriages between the DPRK and China ministers, which would then become another major danger.

His smile did not change, and he had some considerations in his mind.

If Gu Huaizhi was mentioning Taifu Liu's daughter, or the daughter of Duke Zhen Guo, he would still be able to take back his words without changing his face, and then use the word "consider" to deal with it.

"Which girl do you have your eye on?"

How could Gu Huaizhi not know what he was thinking?

"Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Ruan Zhen."

Yong'an Houfu?

Emperor Hui narrowed his eyes and then looked at Eunuch Zhao.

"There is only one daughter in the Yong'an Marquis House. If I remember correctly, she must be married to someone else?"

Eunuch Zhao stepped forward with a smile: "Your Majesty has forgotten that you personally decreed the marriage. Some time ago, the young couple came into the palace to thank you."

Emperor Hui:......

He was inexplicably relieved.

But...why did Gu Huaizhi fall in love with a married woman?

He frowned, as if he were an elder: "Huaizhi, look, that girl is already married, how can I ruin the marriage? Whoever you fall in love with is not good, how can you fall in love with a married woman?"

"Not to mention that I agree with this matter, your father and mother also don't agree with it."

Gu Huaizhi's face was pale.

"What I want is the cousin of the Marquis of Yong'an."

Emperor Hui:......

By the way, the surname of the Marquis of Yong'an is Fan.

The woman Gu Huaizhi just mentioned was named Ruan.

Eunuch Zhao was making tea. When he heard this, his hands shook, and there was a "clang" sound. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

Tea splashed everywhere.

He didn't care about anything else and knelt down with a plop.

"The old slave is guilty."

This sudden change caused Emperor Hui to step down from the wrong person. How could he blame him?

"You have followed me for many years, how could you be so reckless?"

Eunuch Zhao kowtowed to him. Then he looked at Gu Huaizhi tremblingly.

"This old slave has heard about the cousin of Yong'an Marquis Mansion."

His abnormality made Emperor Hui suspicious.

His eyes moved back and forth between Eunuch Zhao and Gu Huaizhi.

"Tell me and listen."

Eunuch Zhao naturally told the whole story: "Yong'an Hou's stepmother is the aunt of the girl whom the prince wanted to marry. However, one of them died during childbirth."

He whispered: "You must know that a stillbirth is a serious disaster. The prince is a dragon and a phoenix among men. How can he marry a girl who has no family background and is unlucky at the same time?"

He said this without mentioning anything about his adopted daughter.

Emperor Hui understood.

The person Gu Huaizhi likes poses no threat to him at all.

good!

However, the declining Yong'an Hou Mansion actually climbed up to the Duke's Mansion?

How dare the Marquis of Yong'an do something small under his nose, just like that, and still want to be reinstated?

Emperor Hui had a look of difficulty on his face: "Huai Zhi, Eunuch Zhao's words are reasonable."

Gu Huaizhi, however, was indifferent.

"What does a eunuch know?"

Eunuch Zhao: Young Master, you are crossing the river and destroying the bridge...

Emperor Hui laughed dumbly: "Where are your parents..."

Gu Huaizhi interrupted slowly: "My chest hurts."

Emperor Hui laughed angrily.

Gu Huaizhi reminded himself that his nearly fatal injury was caused by trying to save him.

He pondered for a moment.

"By the way, I need to discuss the Dongyang area with you..."

Gu Huaizhi continued to interrupt: "Your Majesty, please write."

——

The Duke's Mansion.

"This is a top-quality sapphire vase with lotus pattern. It is extremely expensive. Be careful and don't knock it."

When Gu Huaizhi returned home, he heard the housekeeper's loud voice.

The servants came in and out of Hanliyuan.

Except for Shengwan's courtyard, only Moyuan and Hanliyuan have the best lighting in the Duke's Mansion.

There is always a servant cleaning the place on weekdays.

But there weren't that many masters in the mansion, so Hanlianyuan remained empty.

Gu Huaizhi's eyebrows narrowed and he had a guess in his mind.

The butler immediately came over to greet him.

"Son."

Gu Huaizhi said calmly: "What is this?"

The housekeeper said respectfully: "Before going out, Madam said that Miss Ruan will move in today, and there will always be people taking care of Hanlian Courtyard. However, after much thought, the old slave thought that the girl's status is high and she must live comfortably, so she decided to decorate the house without authorization.

Changed."

Gu Huaizhi was indifferent.

Then sneered.

"I spent a lot of money to buy all the replacement ones?"

"You really know how to behave."

housekeeper:……

He wiped his sweat.

"Miss Ruan is now a member of the Duke's Mansion, and besides, you don't need these things anyway."

Gu Huaizhi was confused and asked again: "Sister-in-law?"

The housekeeper was stunned: "Yes."

In recent days, the weather has become warmer.

But there was an occasional gust of wind, and it was still a little chilly.

There was a chill in the man's voice, and he murmured: "Not anymore."

Seeing Changfeng pushing Gu Huaizhi into Moyuan, the housekeeper even forgot to remind him that a distinguished guest was coming to the study, so he fell into deep thought.

Not anymore?

Then... should we move it?

Gu Huaizhi entered the study and saw Mu Hansheng eating the pastries he had left on the desk in the morning.
