Chapter 21: Preparing to Marry
In just one month, the Gu Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The most high-flying young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion died, and Prime Minister Gu's favorite aunt went crazy, and even the Lin family, who was in charge of the backyard, lost her status as the head of the house. Lin couldn't stand such a blow, and ended his life with a white silk that night.
The two most influential women in the backyard of the Gu Mansion disappeared like this.
Winter has slipped away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed, spring has quietly sprouted, and the wicker by the lake has pulled out new branches.
Shen Qiuniang carried a basket in her hand, stepped on the emerald greenery of the ground, walked along the stone road for a distance, and turned around and entered a courtyard.
On the bamboo bed in the courtyard, the young girl was lying there, her black hair scattered like a waterfall, and her palm-sized melon seed face was as white as jade, beautiful as a pearl in the dark night. Looking at a person, after watching it for more than a month, I should have been used to seeing it for a long time. But as soon as Shen Qiuniang entered the courtyard, she was still stunned for a moment.
She felt that the woman in front of her was not an ordinary person at all, she was like a piece of jade, polished by time, every day became different, and every day was more radiant.
"Miss, cover yourself with a blanket, don't get cold. Shen Qiuniang took a blanket from the room and covered her body.
Gu Shuiyue's eyes were half-squinted.
Her body has improved a lot, and she has practiced the exercises to the first level, and she is not afraid of such cold. But looking at the worry in Shen Qiuniang's eyes, she still pulled the blanket: "Thank you, Mama Qiu." ”
"Miss, what are you talking about? My current life is all given by Miss, if it weren't for Miss, I would still be living like that, and I would never have seen Jing Fan in my life......"
Shen Qiuniang said, her eyes turned red.
Now that she can stay in the Gu Mansion and see Jing Fan from time to time, it is like a dream for her. Although they don't get along like normal mothers and sons, this is enough for Shen Qiuniang.
The young lady was her greatest benefactor, and she was eager to offer her up.
"Miss, it's only half a month before your wedding. Shen Qiuniang said, her face looking worried, "This Cloud King is probably not a good match." ”
Certainly not a good match.
What kind of good match is the person who makes a deal with Li Yejin and Gu Tianqing? Gu Shuiyue remembers the hatred in his previous life. However, she wants to marry King Yun, not to find a good match, but to take the opportunity to take revenge.
Gongsun Yi's character, the geometry of the backyard, this is not something she cares about. What she wants is to find a suitable opportunity to ruin Gongsun Yi and ruin the Yunwang Mansion.
"Mama Qiu, you don't have to worry. I went to the Cloud Palace, and I took what I wanted. ”
Shen Qiuniang looked at the young lady, looking at the light flashing in her eyes, and felt a little cold inexplicably. The person in front of her seems to have an unfathomable force, she will never be able to see through, such a woman, marrying into the Yunwang Mansion, may not suffer a loss. Shen Qiuniang felt that she might be overly worried
The red sleeves add fragrance, curling green smoke, a faint fragrance wafts in the room, behind the landscape screen, there are two people, one is lying down, one is sitting.
Old Madam Gu was half-leaning, with a faint smile on her graceful face, looking at her son, but if you look closely, you will find that there is no smile in her eyes.
Gu Qian sat on a vermilion chair. Born from the heart, he was originally a literati, a gentleman, but now he is restless in his heart, and his face is full of anger, and his handsome face is a little hideous for no reason, which makes people look very uncomfortable.
"Mother, in a few days it will be Gu Shuiyue's wedding. ”
That was the source of his concern.
The Lin family is dead, and as the male owner of the Gu Mansion, he naturally knows the details. The Lin clan died after losing the fight with Gu Shuiyue. The Lin family has no use value, Gu Qian does not feel pity or sadness for the death of the Lin family, what he is afraid of is Gu Shuiyue. In Gu Qian's opinion, the Lin family was the smartest woman he had ever seen, and even the Lin family was defeated by Gu Shuiyue...... This shows how terrible Gu Shuiyue is.
As the wedding date approaches, Gu Shuiyue will leave the Gu family sooner or later and marry into the Yunwang Mansion. The Yun Wang's Mansion is the most popular, even if the Yun King's merits are high, he has already provoked the dissatisfaction of the one above, but it is still easy for the Yun King to deal with the Gu Mansion.
Gu Qian is a civil official, Gu Jingfan has not yet entered the court, and his foundation is still shallow, so the Gu Mansion at this time is very precarious.
"Gu Shuiyue, you can't stay. A killing intent flashed in Gu Qian's eyes.
Old Madam Gu suddenly laughed, she was devoted to the Buddha, with a sandalwood fragrance on her body, and she laughed like a Buddha.
"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Gu Qian asked curiously.
"My son, I'm laughing at you. ”
"Why did Mother say that?"
"Gu Shuiyue's reputation as a fool has long been spread. To put it mildly, His Majesty gave marriage to marry a fool to King Yun, which has ulterior motives. King Yun was forced to marry her, and when he married into the mansion, can he really treat her well?"
"Do you know the situation in the Yun Wang's Mansion? The Yun King himself is in a violent and moody mood, and the women in the backyard of the Yun Wang's Mansion often die violently for no reason. The water in the backyard of the Yunwang Mansion was much deeper than that of the Gu Mansion. There are many backyards of King Yun, and there are two side princesses, one is the Meng family. Meng is the niece of the old lady of Gongsun, and is now in charge of the backyard of the Yunwang Mansion. There is also a person who is Ashina, Ashina is a Turkic woman, much more amorous than the Central Plains women, with a bold temperament, and is favored by King Yun. Whether it is the Meng clan or the Ashina clan, they are much stronger than Lin Yeru and Ma Qianniang. Old Madam Gu said eloquently, "Do you think that Gu Shuiyue has entered the Cloud Palace, can she really sit firmly as the Princess of Yun?"
Old Madam Gu said it one by one, and Gu Qian also suddenly realized.
Gu Shuiyue wants to use the Yun Wang's Mansion to deal with the Gu Mansion, first, she wants to be favored by the Yun King, and second, she has to have enough value to make the Yun King feel that she can deal with the Gu Mansion for her.
However, the status quo is that it will be difficult for Gu Shuiyue to marry into the Yun Palace, and even the position of Princess Yun is in jeopardy. The backyard of the Yunwang Mansion is much more complicated than the Gu Mansion, which is intertwined, involves the interests of all parties, and has magical powers from all parties, and it is unknown how long Gu Shuiyue can live in it.
After the old lady was relieved, the boredom in Gu Qian's heart was swept away.
"Mother, my Gu Mansion and Yunwang Mansion are married, and this marriage must be done in a grand manner. Gu Qian said gently.
Because of this incident, Gu Shuiyue's life was very good in the next half a month.
Half a month passed in a flash.
Tianchen Palace.
The golden and brilliant hall, the jade pillars of the dragon carved railing are erect, and the golden light shines in every corner, and the majestic momentum spreads.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow is King Yun's wedding date. The enchanting young woman leaned at the emperor's feet, leaning on the emperor's body weakly and bonelessly, her delicate fist gently pounding for the emperor, and her eyes were like silk.
The appearance of Emperor Shuoyun is thirty-five or sixteen, just in the prime of life, strong and strong, and his momentum is extraordinary, he has a heroic national face, deep and hard facial features, and his lips are tightly pursed, not angry and arrogant.
Hearing the words of the concubine, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes. There was a sense of anger in his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, his handsome face was a little cold, making people dare not look directly.
The corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smile: "Heh, I forgot that tomorrow is Gongsun Aiqing's wedding." ”
"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and it's normal to forget. The woman's voice was delicate.
The emperor suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the woman's arm, and pulled her into his arms with a force, and the woman exclaimed, her face was crimson, but she also leaned against the emperor's broad chest, drawing circles on his chest.
"Gongsun Aiqing is the pillar of my Shuoyun, and I shouldn't forget it. The emperor said, "The daughter of the Gu family is the princess I carefully picked for Gongsun Yi!"
The woman's eyes were lowered and full of smiles, she was the most favored and naturally the most aware of the Sacred Heart.
"The concubine of the Gu family is stupid and stupid, has no status as a concubine, and has become the plaything of her aunt and concubine. When the Gu family girl enters the Yunwang Mansion, there must be a good show to watch. The woman pursed her lips and giggled.
"The wise and martial King Yun married a fool, it's really interesting to think about it. The woman said, "As soon as the concubine left the palace, all she heard was this interesting story, and Sun Yi, the prince of Yun, has now become a joke in the eyes of the people, and everyone is waiting to watch the play." Thinking about it, the backyard of Yunwang's Mansion is not peaceful, and the fire in the backyard of Yunwang's Mansion is about to burn. ”
The emperor's face shone with pleasure.
No matter how powerful Gongsun Yi is, no matter how many military exploits he has, he is just a courtier prostrate at his feet, and he still has to obey his arrangement. He can decide his status and the events of his life, and if he wants him to marry a fool, he still has to marry.
The open and secret battle in the backyard of the Gu Mansion was an extremely humiliating thing for Gu Qian, so this matter did not spread out, let alone the palace.
The emperor and the palace concubine's understanding of the Gu family's concubine is still stuck in the previous investigation - stupid, stupid.
If they knew that Gu Shuiyue had turned the Gu Mansion upside down in the past few months, maybe they wouldn't have thought so.
