"I do indeed admire Miss Jinyan." Xiao Yuheng emphasized seriously.
There was a look of shock on everyone's face.
Chao Wang glanced at Gu Jinyan and then at Xiao Yuheng in disbelief. His mind kept thinking about how he had not offended Miss Jinyan just now or even before.
Although he wanted to marry her, he was facing the regent and he had only one idea. It was impossible to be on good terms with her and fight for her.
Fortunately, his original intention was to please, and he did not act excessively, nor did he offend anyone.
The fifth princess couldn't believe it.
The regent's brother loves her? Who is she and why?
"Brother Regent, how is it possible? How could you like her? What does she mean?" The fifth princess completely collapsed: "Did she threaten you? I make the decision for you. It's impossible, Brother Regent."
You can't like her."
Xiao Yuheng glanced at her with a stern look, which was like a knife. If looks could kill, the fifth princess would be dead.
Miss Chen Er was in a panic.
I didn't expect such a big thing to happen.
I never thought that the regent would like her!
The regent is calling the shots, and there are rumors...
Miss Chen Er's face turned pale.
Xiao Yuheng looked at the fifth princess: "Fifth princess, please be careful what you say. If I see someone bullying her again, then I will naturally take care of it. I don't want to hear anything that slanders her."
"Even the fifth princess is no exception."
He has never been afraid of noble people.
Madam Zhenbeihou also came in a hurry. She came out of the Queen's Palace as soon as she heard the news, but she didn't expect it was too late.
After coming over, she held Gu Jinyan in her arms and looked at everyone warily: "Jinyan is my daughter who finally came back. This is her first time at the palace banquet. If Jinyan is bullied for no reason, then I will fight for it."
It’s my life’s duty to protect our family.”
"Whoever goes against Jinyan is going against our Zhenbei and Anding Houses!"
Mrs. Zhenbei Houfu is the eldest lady from the Anding Houfu and the daughter of a military commander. The Anding Houfu and Zhenbei Houfu still have military power in their hands.
The Zhenbei Houfu alone may not have that much lethality, but if the Anding Houfu is added to it, everyone in Kyoto will have to weigh it, and the Jade King is an example.
Concubine Chen originally pointed out that big things should be reduced to small things, and small things should be reduced to small things.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, I had to come out quickly and gave the fifth princess a slap: "Who told you to be arrogant in this palace? As a princess, you should abide by the princess's rules."
After the fight, he looked at Madam Zhenbei and the Regent and said: "The fifth princess is still young, and her character has been raised by me to be naive. What happened today is the fault of the fifth princess. I will punish the fifth princess with a grounding."
"Being grounded is not enough. I insulted Miss Jinyan, so I must apologize." Xiao Yuheng's aura remained the same and he did not give Concubine Chen any face.
Concubine Chen also looked a little embarrassed.
But this is a critical moment for her to face the regent and King Li. If she confronts him head-on, it will not do any good to her or King Li.
"Xiaowu, please apologize to Miss Jinyan." Concubine Chen looked at the fifth princess and said.
The fifth princess was so angry that she was slapped. Now she was asked to apologize. How could she be so happy: "Why, I am the princess, why should I apologize to her!"
"I won't apologize!" Concubine Chen also said harshly.
The fifth princess apologized. It would be best for everyone to get over the matter as soon as possible and calm it down as soon as possible. If she didn't apologize, the matter would become even more serious.
"I'm sorry!" After the fifth princess said this, she covered her face and ran away angrily, even her own mother and concubine hated her.
Concubine Chen glanced at Xiao Yuheng and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his face looked better.
Just for the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, she didn't need to be so afraid, but Xiao Yuheng was different. They planned carefully. If they offended Xiao Yuheng at this critical moment and he turned to King Chao, then King Li would be dead.
"The fifth princess is not sensible, so please don't worry about it, the regent. After all, we are still cousins," said Concubine Chen.
Xiao Yuheng just pretended not to hear.
Concubine Chen chatted.
Seeing this, Miss Chen Er took advantage of this time to hide among the many ladies and left when no one was paying attention.
Xiao Yuheng looked at Gu Jinyan: "Jinyan, let's go."
Mrs. Zhenbei Hou came out and stopped her: "Prince Regent, I'd like to say that I won't bother you."
Although the regent had just stood up and admitted that it was him and protected Jinyan, Mrs. Zhenbei was still cautious and did not talk about marriage. What does this mean?
Jinyan has already suffered a loss. The last time Jinyan saw Zhou Huaiyu was frightened, he still vividly remembers it. Mrs. Zhenbei Hou cannot let anyone hurt Jinyan again.
If Jin Yan was hurt again, Mrs. Zhenbeihou could not imagine what Jin Yan would become.
Mrs. Zhenbei Hou protected Gu Jinyan fiercely, and Gu Jinyan secretly stuck out her tongue at Xiao Yuheng. There was nothing she could do in front of her mother-in-law.
Xiao Yuheng was actually not to blame for this incident. He wanted to propose marriage, but she stopped him. It was just that an unexpected combination of circumstances led to this problem.
Looking at it today, it may be related to Chen Ge's old house. After all, Miss Chen Er has exerted a lot of effort there, but it may not have anything to do with Gu Jinyu.
This is definitely inseparable from King Li.
King Li wanted to use this method to ruin her reputation, but he just didn't expect that she and Xiao Yuheng were real.
No one would have thought that the regent, who was known for his ruthlessness, would actually have someone he liked.
This can be regarded as stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
Gu Jinyan was thinking about these things, but Mrs. Zhenbeihou was a little angry: "What does this regent mean? Is he helping you or harming you? He didn't even propose marriage, but he made such nonsense in the palace and asked you to decide what to do in the future."
Dear, if he treats your reputation badly like this, is it possible that he can still marry you?"
"You say he is a man of great scheming. Why did he handle this matter in such a confused manner?"
Mrs. Zhenbeihou didn't really think about the two of them going seriously.
After all, in the eyes of Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, it is difficult for the regent to be willing to marry a wife.
"Mom, this matter is my fault." Gu Jinyan quickly admitted it.
"Are you pestering him?" Mrs. Zhenbei Hou was frightened, thinking about how to persuade her daughter.
I'm just afraid that Jinyan is a smart child, but emotionally confused. No one has taught her these things in the past ten years.
"No, the regent had said before that he wanted to propose marriage, but I stopped him. I want to have more contact with him and get to know him more clearly before discussing the matter of marriage proposal." Gu Jinyan said with some guilt.
