As for his impression of Gu Yingxue, Cheng Huaijin couldn't say how much he liked her, but it was definitely not the same as when he first knew about Xiaoyu's accident.

At that time, knowing that Xiaoyu gave Gu Yingxue the chance to live, Cheng Huaijin was angry. After so long, he also figured it out. This kind of thing shouldn't be blamed on the girl, so he regarded Gu Yingxue as Gu Si's sister.

Gu Xin no longer mentioned the issue of Gu Yingxue. She was sure that Cheng Huaijin didn't hate Gu Yingxue. As for whether she liked her or not, she didn't know.

But she couldn't say too much at once, lest Cheng Huaijin think too much and cause her to do bad things with good intentions.

That night, the couple of King Kang invited everyone to dinner at the King Kang's mansion. They planned to set off to the west before the Lantern Festival, so they planned to invite everyone to a banquet to practice.

Duke Chengen and his wife had originally planned this, but later, after discussing it, Princess Kang and Mrs. Xue felt that the two families were not far away anyway, so they should hold this practice banquet together.

They invited the Gu family, the Peng family, the Huo family, and Lu Zheng alone. Prince Kang went to the palace again. Anyway, he was not sure whether the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress would come.

As a result, at night, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress sneaked out of the palace with the little prince again.

Even though Gu Shouxin was used to it, he still felt that these royal leaders were really not ordinary people. The number of times they went out of the palace in a year might be more than that of other emperors!

Fortunately, Prince Kang's mansion was not far from the palace. Now the capital is peaceful, and there are almost no people who want to rebel inside, so the safety is still guaranteed.

"Oh, Xue'er is so pitiful. She stays at home alone. I'll have someone send her some snacks from our mansion. I remember she likes sweets. She must like it!" Princess Kang talked about Gu Yingxue.

Because Gu Yingxue was a youngster from Grandma Gu's family, and she was well-behaved and likable, the Empress Dowager asked, "The injury at Xiaojiu's house was really an accident, right? There were no other reasons?"

Gu Xin said, "Grandma, my brother and Xue'er were together at the time. It was definitely not an accident. My brother couldn't have hurt Xue'er."

The Empress Dowager looked at Cheng Huaijin meaningfully.

Cheng Huaijin stepped forward and said, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, Miss Xue'er didn't pay attention to her feet when she was talking to the younger generation, and stepped on a stone, so she sprained her ankle. There was no accident."

The Empress Dowager looked Cheng Huaijin up and down, smiled and nodded, "Well, it's good that there was no accident. Xiaojin, you are also a child of the Gu family. According to the age of the grandchildren of the Gu family, Huihui got married, Nian Nian got married, isn't it your turn now? Do you have a girl you like? Tell me. The emperor granted several marriages last year, and I also want to be a matchmaker here."

Everyone looked at Cheng Huaijin.

Cheng Huaijin shook his head and said, "Grand Empress Dowager, I don't have anyone I like yet. Thank you for your concern."

The Grand Empress Dowager smiled and said, "There are several princesses in the royal family, and they are all good. You must have seen them in the Royal Academy. Who impressed you the most?"

Cheng Huaijin was stunned, and then said, "Grand Empress Dowager, I am not close to the princesses, so I don't know them."

The emperor was unhappy: "Hey, you kid, that's my princess, is she not pretty? Don't young men like beautiful girls? Unless you have a sweetheart."
