My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire!

Princess Donglin is fifty-six years old, about the same age as Grandma Gu, but she looks much older than Grandma Gu.

Gu Xinnian was older than her and was an elder. He did not force anyone to take her to the lobby, but went to see her in person.

Princess Donglin received Gu Xin in the small Buddhist hall.

"Princess Xinxin has come all the way, and I feel sorry for you. I hope you can forgive her!" Princess Donglin said politely.

In terms of grade, she couldn't compare to Gu Xin. Logically speaking, she should give Gu Xin a big gift.

However, at Gu Xin's age, she is not a royal princess, so Princess Donglin cannot perform this great gift.

Gu Xin didn't pay so much attention, and took a look at the environment of the small Buddhist hall, and asked: "Has the princess spent her daily life in this small Buddhist hall all the time in recent years?"

Princess Donglin nodded: "Yes."

Gu Xin asked again: "On the first day of May, was the princess always in the small Buddhist hall? Is there anyone around her?"

Princess Donglin said: "I usually copy sutras and chant Buddhist scriptures in the small Buddhist hall. Except for going to the temple and celebrating the New Year, I don't leave the Buddhist hall at other times. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, my youngest daughter took her son-in-law and grandchildren back to her parents' home. I came to the small Buddhist hall to visit me. The rest of the time, I was like normal."

Gu Xin nodded and asked, "When was the last time the princess saw the prince?"

Princess Donglin thought for a while and said: "At the beginning of March! At that time, the prince came to the Buddhist hall to see me. We haven't seen him since. It's already..."

Gu Xin asked again: "Did the prince and the princess talk about the candidate for the heir apparent during that meeting?"

Princess Donglin frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "I have mentioned it before. The prince said that it is better to invite the second son to be crowned the crown prince. Shijie is young, has both civil and military skills, and is preparing to take part in the imperial examination. Therefore, as the crown prince, For him, it may be a constraint. It is better to leave this to the second child. Princess, you are young and may not know that after the prince handed over the tiger talisman, he promised me in front of the Queen Mother and the late emperor. The descendants of the family will live in the fiefdom in this life and will not be involved with the powerful people in the capital. If Shijie wants to participate in the imperial examination, it will be contrary to the original intention. "

Gu Xin raised her brows and asked with a smile, "Really? Since the prince told the princess about this in early March, why didn't anyone else in the house know about it?"

Princess Donglin said: "The prince has recovered from his serious illness and did not expect an unexpected accident. All along, the prince has planned to appoint Shijie as the crown prince, and this is the case in the eyes of everyone. Shijie also thinks so. Shijie is Our eldest grandson, who has been groomed as an heir since he was a child, said it rashly. We were worried that Shijie was distracted, so we didn't say it right away. We thought it would take a long time, so we should take our time. Now, the throne of the Crown Prince is still hanging in the balance, so if we are not in a hurry, who knows..."

Seeing that Princess Donglin was about to cry, Gu Xin immediately answered: "Since I didn't intend to tell the truth immediately, and wanted to give Mr. Bai time to accept it slowly, then why did the prince invite Mr. Bai to be sealed? Have you finished writing it? Princess, this doesn’t make sense!”

Princess Donglin glanced at Gu Xin and said with a wry smile: "I always live in the Buddhist hall and don't see the prince every day. I don't know why the prince wrote the book. But when we met in early March, the prince did meet me. Mentioned this matter. That fold is indeed the prince’s handwriting.”
