In Mrs. Gu's yard, Gu Ruoxing arrived early and was massaging the old lady's shoulders.

"Grandma, why did you call us here so early this morning?" Gu Ruoxing asked in a pinched voice.

"I haven't asked you yet, where did you go from yesterday afternoon to evening?" Old Mrs. Gu asked in a deep voice. She allowed her second granddaughter to go out because she wanted to see what she was going to do.

The person who came back to report said that the second girl was in Wanghu Tower and he was on the third floor, pretending to be talking and laughing with others. Before that, a shopkeeper named Han had booked Wanghu Tower.

Old Mrs. Gu didn't sleep well last night.

"Oh, grandma, didn't I tell you yesterday that someone invited me out and I went out to keep the appointment?" Gu Ruoxing said, with a blush on her face.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu held Gu Ruoxing's hand and said, "Ruoxing, I only have one request for you. Don't do anything out of the ordinary. Your father is already choosing a suitable family for you."

When Gu Ruoxing heard this, she was stunned at first, and then became anxious. She had never heard her mother mention this to her.

Choose a family, they are just ordinary families.

"Grandma, but my granddaughter already has someone she likes..." Gu Ruoxing hurriedly explained. She guessed that it must be her grandmother who asked her father to arrange these things for her.

Old Madam Gu raised her hand and interrupted her second granddaughter, "It's all an illusion. The best policy is to listen to your family's arrangements."

"Grandma, why can my eldest sister and third sister have their own ideas?" Gu Ruoxing felt unfair and looked aggrieved.

"Because they don't usually have any ideas, but you usually have too many of your own." Old Madam Gu said lightly, "Cultivate your character at home and spend more time with your elder sister. When you both get married in the future, you still need to support each other."

Support each other? What her grandmother meant was that she must be supported by her sisters. She accepted the support of her eldest sister, but she was unwilling to bow down in front of that girl Gu Qinghe.

After observing her expression, Gu Ruoxing decided not to argue with her grandmother anymore. "Yes, my granddaughter will follow your arrangements."

Gu Qinghe brought Yingchun to the old lady's courtyard gate and met Gu Yueru. "Say hello to big sister."

Gu Yueru was getting married soon, and she was in high spirits. She came forward with a smile and said, "Thank you, Third Sister. I hope you are well too."

"Big sister, have you finished embroidering the trousseau?"

Gu Yueru blushed when she heard this and nodded gently, "It's done, but I'm not sure if the lining will fit Mr. Lu."

"You're worrying too much, big sister. Didn't my aunt get my brother-in-law's latest measurements from Madam Lu? You can't go wrong by comparing them. Besides, even if it doesn't fit, he has to lie and say it fits well." Gu Qinghe joked with a smile.

Gu Yueru looked at her lively third sister and couldn't help but think of what her mother had said before, that the prince seemed to be interested in her third sister.

"Don't blame me anymore. When I say I kiss you, will you be worried?" Gu Yueru retorted with a red face.

Gu Qinghe snorted and laughed when he heard this, "I won't."

Gu Yueru thought to herself: How could it not be possible? If what mother said comes true, then he is the prince. How would he eat, wear and spend his money on daily basis? Even if my third sister is good at sewing, she would be afraid of losing face in front of her husband, right?

The two sisters were chatting and laughing when they arrived in front of the main hall. Gu Ruoxing, who was inside, listened to the noise outside, gritted her teeth, and then said with a smile: "Grandma, it should be the eldest sister and the third sister coming."

*

When they reached the main hall, Gu Qinghe lagged slightly behind Gu Yueru and said, "Greetings to Grandmother."

When Old Lady Gu saw her two granddaughters, her expression softened considerably. She waved at them and said, "Come and sit down and talk."

"Second sister came early?" Gu Qinghe asked politely out of courtesy.

Gu Ruoxing listened to Gu Qinghe's voice and met her deep eyes. She called her a witch in her heart. She didn't know what tricks she used to coax the prince. Now her grandmother wanted her to stay at home and not go out. How could she have any chance?

"Well, I heard my grandmother's instructions and hurried over. I didn't even have time to say anything." Gu Ruoxing also found her usual seat and sat down.

"I called you here today because Yueru is about to get married, and Ruoxing and Qinghe will probably be there soon too. You should come here more often and talk to me, an old woman." As Mrs. Gu spoke, her eyes swept across her three granddaughters and finally stopped at Gu Qinghe.

She had never taken a serious look at her granddaughter before, but after she entered the palace, the old lady's mind became more active. She looked at Qinghe with some thoughts and found that the girl's demeanor was indeed incomparable to that of ordinary girls.

After hearing what her grandmother said, Gu Qinghe showed neither the shyness of her elder sister nor the resentment of Gu Ruoxing. There was no expression on her face.

She knew that her grandmother could not make decisions for her father. After all, children's marriages still had to be approved by their parents.

As they were talking, the maids brought breakfast. After the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren had breakfast, they chatted for a while and it was already past noon.

Gu Qinghe and Liu Yinshuang had made an appointment to meet at Sishi Treasure Tower. She smiled faintly and said, "Grandma, I have to go shopping in the streets with Miss Liu and Princess Yunhua later."

Mrs. Gu was originally quite calm, but when she heard Princess Yunhua, she smiled and said, "Then hurry up and go. You have an appointment, so don't be late."

"Thank you, grandma. Your granddaughter will take her leave first." Gu Qinghe bowed and left with Yingchun.

Only the happy old lady Gu, Gu Yueru who was immersed in her own romantic fantasy, and Gu Ruoxing who was so angry that she almost tore her handkerchief into pieces were left.

"Ruoxing, what are you thinking about?" Gu Yueru's voice suddenly sounded.

"It's nothing. We are leaving too. You can take a rest, grandma." Gu Ruoxing stood up and said.

She was just thinking, could it be that her second uncle had already planned to send Gu Qinghe to school for a few days to make friends with Princess Yunhua, so that he had a ladder to the sky.

*

Princess Yunhua is the ladder between Gu Qinghe and Xiao Jingheng, but the person who has to climb the ladder is not Gu Qinghe, but Xiao Jingheng.

At this moment, the person climbing the ladder, Xiao Jingheng, was sitting humbly in the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion, listening to Xiao Yifei, a veteran in the love field, giving him a lesson.

"Your Highness, in fact, the fact that you are willing to ask me for advice today is already a great progress." Xiao Yifei held a fan in his hand and shook it in a casual manner.

"Get to the point." Xiao Jingheng said patiently.

"Of course, of course. Your Highness, please rest assured. What's coming next are the key points. I'm afraid that you won't be able to absorb them all at once." After Xiao Yifei finished speaking, he laughed triumphantly twice.
