After the aunt and sister-in-law had reached an agreement, Gu Qingqing asked the nanny to send Su Yuan back to the palace for the banquet.

At this moment, the palace banquet was over, and Su Yuan and Zhou took Gu Huan out of the palace.

Zhou couldn't help but ask Su Yuan, "Why did Her Majesty ask you to come over? Is it about the Li family's affairs?"

Gu Qingqing only invited Su Yuan and did not ask her mother to come over and sit with him.

The more power Gu Qingqing gained, the less he took them seriously.

But she could also understand it. After all, the Zhennan Marquis Mansion...could not help Gu Qingqing much.

If the old marquis were still alive, Gu Qingqing wouldn't have to work so hard to plan all this by himself.

It’s a pity that the old marquis passed away, and Gu Zhiquan only inherited an empty shell of the marquis’ mansion.

Gu Qingqing wants Sima Tu to become the crown prince, and there are many things to plan.

She couldn't help much, so she could only try not to cause trouble for Gu Qingqing.

Su Yuan shook her head: "No, the Queen asked me to go to Duke Li's mansion and establish good relations with him."

Anyway, Zhou will know about this eventually, so it doesn't hurt to tell her.

Zhou frowned slightly, but she quickly reacted.

Gu Qingqing wants to win over Duke Li through Su Yuan!

But Su Yuan...will she devote herself to them wholeheartedly?

She didn't think so. Su Yuan had already distanced herself from them, so it would be enough for her not to cause them any trouble.

However, Su Yuan should not dare to tease Gu Qingqing. If she dared to tease Gu Qingqing, the only one who would suffer would be Su Yuan.

Zhou closed her eyes and stopped talking.

After returning home, Su Yuan ordered Li Mo to tell Zhou Tao to let Wei Chusan take Zhou Tao to the palace to meet Gu Qingqing.

Wei and Zhou Tao were filled with surprise. Gu Qingqing actually invited them into the palace?

This is the first time in five years that Gu Qingqing has invited them to visit the palace.

In the past, when Gu Qingqing didn't invite them, they could only complain in their hearts but couldn't really blame Gu Qingqing.

After all, Gu Qingqing is the empress in the palace, how can they, the common people, blame her?

Now, Gu Qingqing is willing to invite them into the palace.

"Tao'er, this time when you go to the palace to see the Empress Defei, you must behave well! If you can win your cousin's favor, you can stay in Kyoto.

With your cousin as a matchmaker, you will definitely marry a young man from a prominent family. Do you understand?" Wei was very excited.

Now that Gu Qingqing is His Majesty's favorite concubine, for her sake, those young men from aristocratic families would be willing to marry Zhou Tao.

Gu Qingqing has no biological sisters, only an older cousin and a younger cousin. Liang Yinyin is only a few months older than Gu Qingqing. Now that she is old, even if she wants to get married, she can't marry a good man.

Her Tao'er is different. Tao'er is only sixteen years old, young and beautiful, and with Gu Qingqing's support, it is easy for her to marry a good husband.

Of course, with Gu Qingqing acting as a matchmaker, Zhou Tao’s husband’s family will also become part of Gu Qingqing’s influence in the future.

They just benefit each other and achieve each other.

"Mother, why did my cousin suddenly ask us to enter the palace?" Zhou Tao was confused.

Given Gu Qingqing's personality, inviting them into the palace was definitely not just a simple reminisce.

Wei lowered her voice and said, "Silly girl! You are now of marriageable age. Your cousin wants to choose a good husband for you."

Of course, Gu Qingqing couldn't have good intentions.

Marriage is the best way to win over other forces!

Hearing this, Zhou Tao blushed.

"But I...I don't want to get married so early."

Wei glared at her. "What? Are you going to be like Liang Yinyin? You want to keep putting it off until you become someone else's concubine? Or someone else's second wife?"

Liang Yinyin looks down on Zhou Zhiwen, so she doesn't even bother to want Liang Yinyin.

Didn't Liang Yinyin just want to be Gu Zhiquan's concubine? She wanted to see what kind of happy ending Liang Yinyin could have.

Zhou Tao quickly shook her head, "Of course not! Mother, what are you thinking? I won't learn from my cousin Yin Yin."

She was not as stupid as Liang Yinyin, who was willing to waste her youth for Gu Zhiquan.

She just... doesn't want to get married hastily.

She wanted to marry a man who was both civil and military, preferably a young man from a prominent family in Kyoto.

She is the cousin of the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion, and the most favored Concubine De is her cousin! With this status, she can also marry into a good family.

The more Zhou Tao thought about it, the more proud she became, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

She was already looking forward to entering the palace.
