It just so happens that Miss Gu's family is one of the people Baozhu is optimistic about.

For no other reason than that she could win many men in poetry contests.

At the banquet, Jiang Cheng was not the only one choosing a wife, but there were also people from other aristocratic families.

The men and women at the banquet were separated by the lotus pond, and the ladies were arranged in the attic, where they could clearly see every move of the young men and women downstairs.

"Are they the prince and the young lady upstairs upstairs?"

The ladies sitting upstairs opposite once looked towards Baozhu.

In addition to the ladies from various houses, there are also some engaged girls upstairs. They are all sitting upstairs, eating pastries made by the palace chef, gossiping and observing the young boys and girls downstairs.

"She is really a young lady."

Mrs. Sun saw Baozhu at a glance, and Sun Ziyuan beside her was sitting neatly aside.

Looking where everyone was pointing, I happened to see Jiang Dongsheng standing next to Baozhu. He couldn't help but put down the pastries in his hands and sit down properly.

Before Jiang Yingying became emperor, there was only a wall between the two families. When Jiang Baozhu and the others moved in, Jiang Dongsheng had already accompanied Jiang Yingxiong to the north.

To be precise, Sun Ziyuan and Jiang Dongsheng have not met yet.

"Mrs. Sun, our young master invites Miss Sun to come over and enjoy the lotus together."

The lady upstairs was talking about whether the person opposite was Baozhu, when a maid came up to find Madam Sun.

When Mrs. Sun heard that the prince was with the young master, she said that the young master invited her, probably to make her daughter get along with the prince.

"Ziyuan, you go with this female official. Remember to listen more and talk less. If you have different opinions, it doesn't matter. You and the female master have always been on good terms, and there is Princess Yuanzhen, so I can't help but be too nervous."

Mrs. Sun took Sun Ziyuan's hand and whispered comfort.

Sun Ziyuan doesn't have any baggage. She has been hanging out with Baozhu and Mingzhu since she was a child, so she is naturally not afraid.

She just felt a little awkward. It was the first time she had contact with a foreign man, and she went crazy again.

She was suddenly informed that she had been chosen as the Crown Princess, and the palace sent a nanny to teach her the rules of the palace, which made her originally a tomboy become much tighter in an instant.

After all, I was a bit young, so I was a little nervous when I was scared by the nuns in the palace.

The ladies upstairs all stared at the Sun mother and daughter with envy. Fortunately for Mrs. Sun, she had already seen the storms and waves. She was just a daughter like Sun Ziyuan, and the other boys in the family were up to par with her.

The Sun family has another Crown Princess, Sun Ziyuan, and Baozhu can send someone to invite her, which also gives the Sun family a lot of face.

In the absence of the Queen, Mrs. Sun, the mother-in-law of the future prince, became a star.

Sun Ziyuan followed the palace maid downstairs. If she wanted to go to the upper floor on the opposite side, she needed to pass through the arch bridge and pass by the gathering place for the princes of various mansions.

"The young master is waiting for the girl upstairs. The girl can go up by herself."

Sun Ziyuan nodded gratefully, lifted up her skirt, and walked upstairs nervously.

"Princess, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Miss Sun is here."

Jiang Dongsheng turned around and looked at Sun Ziyuan, who was taller than Baozhu.

Sun Ziyuan is tall, with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes.

Although her skin is not as fair as the girls living in the boudoir downstairs, it is even and delicate.

"Since Miss Sun is here, why not sit down and don't be formal."

Jiang Dongsheng touched his nose in embarrassment. This was the first time for him to meet his future wife so close.

Pointing to the chair next to Baozhu, he spoke awkwardly.

Baozhu and Mingzhu covered their mouths and snickered. Jiang Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Baozhu to call Miss Sun in front of the public.

He couldn't help but look at the two people who were embarrassed at the same time, and raised the corners of his mouth involuntarily.

She had already guessed in her heart that Baozhu was creating an opportunity for her brother, the prince, and his future sister-in-law to develop a relationship.

"This banquet is a bit boring. We people only know how to wield swords and guns, and never recite poems. Whether you can participate or not depends entirely on you, Brother Jiang Cheng."

Baozhu looked at Jiang Cheng with his eyes shining brightly, and pointed to the questions that had been given downstairs with a smile.

The ladies opposite were all thinking hard, and soon someone on the men's side wrote a poem with the theme of spring.

Bao Zhu set his sights on Miss Gu, but Miss Gu hesitated to write, as if she was not interested in this poem.

"Originally, today, I wanted Brother Jiang Cheng to take a look at Miss Gu's literary talents, but it seems that I can't do that."

Bao Zhu wrinkled her little nose and said happily: "Miss Gu's family doesn't seem to care about the men here, so she's too lazy to show it."

Sun Ziyuan on the side asked with curiosity: "Baozhu, are you talking about the Gu family, Miss Gu Qiyun?"

"Huh? Do you know Sister Sun?"

Several people looked at Sun Ziyuan curiously.

Sun Ziyuan felt Jiang Dongsheng's eyes on her, and her cheeks turned red.

He whispered: "When I went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense, I met the female members of the Gu family and met them from a distance."

Did we really just meet once from a distance?

Judging from her face, it didn't look like she had just met her once. She must have seen something she shouldn't have seen in the Buddhist temple.

"I plan to ask my father for permission to marry brother Jiang Cheng."

Baozhu deliberately said what he was thinking. If Sister Sun had something to say, it would be fine to say it now. After the imperial edict was issued, it would be difficult to go back on it then.

"Yes, is there something wrong with the Gu family girl?" Mingzhu was also worried.

Just now, my sister recommended a girl from the Gu family to brother Jiang Cheng. If there is really something shameful, she will become a sinner.

"Princess, there is no need to be nervous. Miss Gu is fine. The problem is with the second young lady of the Gu family. I heard that in the Buddhist temple, the second young lady of the Gu family slandered the eldest lady of the Gu family for having an affair with her husband. But...it turned out to be a frame-up. Fortunately, the eldest daughter of the Gu family was framed.

Miss, please be careful, otherwise you will really be forced to marry a dandy."

When Sun Ziyuan thought of that day, she couldn't help but sympathize with the eldest girl of the Gu family.

"The current head wife of the Gu family is not Miss Gu's biological mother."

Do these words still need to be said?

If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather.

Miss Gu's life in the Gu family was not easy, but...fortunately Mrs. Gu was a shrewd person. In order to prevent her step-brother from educating her two children badly, she took Miss Gu early to educate them.

"Nuo, the girl wearing purple and pink clothes next to her is the second girl of the Gu family."

Sun Ziyuan searched the crowd and quickly found the second girl of the Gu family.

"The Gu family's family tradition doesn't seem to be very good either."

Jiang Cheng frowned.

"Master Gu is an upright person. He knows that he treats his children badly, otherwise he would not agree to Mrs. Gu's personal education."

Baozhu nodded: "There is no smooth sailing in this world. Although Miss Gu is not as good as she wants, she has a good grandmother."

Jiang Cheng seemed to feel something. He, Jiang Cheng, was like Miss Gu. He had been treated harshly by his stepmother since he was a child. He couldn't stand it and ran away from home, and was adopted into Granny Hao's room.

Suddenly, he suddenly found something in common with Miss Gu.
