Chapter 9: The Princess Arrives
Gu Linan said: "The emperor has decreed that you will be married to King Leng and get married on a certain day." ”
Gu Xiqing was a little confused, how could the emperor suddenly marry her to the fifth prince? However, it's no wonder that they will suddenly be so kind to her, she has hardly seen Gu Linan a few times, and even if she does, she treats her indifferently, but now she is suddenly gentle with her because of this?
Gu Xiqing sneered and said, "I won't marry!" ”
Gu Linan said coldly: "If you don't marry, you have to marry, is the emperor's will something you can disobey?" ”
"Haha, ridiculous, I'm like this now, how can He De marry the fifth prince again?" Gu Xiqing sneered, looked at them, and said, "I can't help myself for the first half of my life, and now I can't even marry whomever I want to marry or die?" ”
Gu Linan slapped him angrily, Gu Xiqing only felt that his head was buzzing, his face was hot and painful, and he was almost unconscious, "Slut, you have done such a good deed yourself, you just have to bear this blessing!" ”
Gu Xiqing stubbornly raised his head and still said, "I won't marry!" ”
Gu Linan said: "Hmph, rebel, you dare to disobey me!" ”
Gu Xiqing smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of father are you, I haven't had any love from you since I was born, where were you when I was bullied by Gu Xiyuan?" Where were you when I was drugged and framed? If it weren't for the emperor's decree to give marriage, I'm afraid you wouldn't know if I died! ”
"You!"
Gu Linan was very angry, Gu Xiyuan hurriedly grabbed him, and after giving him a look, Gu Linan turned around and left unhappily, leaving only Gu Xiyuan and her in the house.
Gu Xiyuan bit her lip and said: "I really didn't expect it, Gu Xiqing, your life is hard enough, so you won't die, and you were even promised to the fifth prince." ”
Gu Xiqing sneered and said, "I didn't die to disappoint you, did I?" ”
Gu Xiyuan laughed, and suddenly her eyes were full of hatred and pinched Gu Xiqing's neck, "I really want you to die, but it's a pity that you still have use value, do you remember your nurse Aunt Zhao?" ”
Gu Xiyuan said and let go of her hand, but Gu Xiqing suddenly grabbed her hand fiercely and asked, "Gu Xiyuan, you dare to touch her and try it!" ”
Gu Xiyuan said: "Do you think it's okay to let His Royal Highness the Second Highness give her some money to return to her hometown to retire?" It's a pity, that day, I lay in the arms of His Second Highness, and told him that I missed the food cooked by the nurse, and he told me the whereabouts of Aunt Zhao, if you refuse to marry King Leng, I will kill Aunt Zhao's family! ”
Gu Xiqing closed her eyes in despair, it turned out that the so-called father saved her just to threaten her!
Gu Xiqing's lips moved slightly, "Shameless!" ”
"Gu Xiqing, you don't have much time to think about, dress up beautifully, come to the study to discuss big things with your father, by the way, if you dare to run away from marriage or seek death and life, I will slowly torture Aunt Zhao to death."
Gu Xiyuan walked out of the room, and Gu Linan was already waiting outside.
Gu Linan asked, "How?" ”
Gu Xiyuan nodded and said, "My sister has already figured it out, and she won't contradict her father anymore." ”
Gu Linan looked at Gu Xiyuan with satisfaction, and at this time, the next person came to say goodbye: "Master, the second highness has come down." ”
Gu Linan said to Gu Xiyuan: "Presumably, the Second Highness is here to find you, you go and talk to the Second Highness first, and I will change my clothes and go over." ”
"Yes!"
Gu Xiyuan's heart was already happy.
Gu Linan had just changed his clothes and was about to go to see Xuan Lingji, when his subordinates ran in in a panic, "Master, no, it's not good." ”
Gu Linan said sharply: "What are you panicking about? Why is it so disproportionate? ”
The subordinate hurriedly calmed down and said, "Back to the master, the princess is here." ”
As soon as Gu Linan heard the word princess, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Which princess?" ”
The servant said: "It was Princess Ming Jiang Jian who came to visit. ”
After hearing this, Gu Linan was scared into a cold sweat, Princess Jian will enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, how could she come to his Gu Mansion at this time? As soon as His Second Highness came on the front foot, Princess Chuan followed on the back foot, could it be that she knew about her daughter and the second prince and came to catch the adulterer?
Gu Linan hurriedly said: "Go to the backyard and tell the Second Highness that Her Royal Highness Princess Lian is here, and I will go to meet her first!" ”
"No need to greet her, Princess Ben has already come in." Ji Jingchuan said and walked in directly.
Gu Linan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said, "Your Royal Highness, Princess Juan!" ”
Gu Linan couldn't help but glance at Ji Jinglian, standing in front of him at the moment was just a little girl who was estimated to be seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a neon dress and silk, with a noble temperament in every gesture, but there was no weakness of a woman at all, but a little more heroism of a man, wearing a veil, he couldn't see his face clearly, just looking at this pair of eyes, he could see seven or eight points of alluring posture.
Although the momentum of Ji Jingjuan in front of her is extraordinary, but there is no such ferocious appearance as in the legend, and then look at the maid behind her, wearing ginger costumes, all of them are good-looking, fresh and dignified, full of pearles, but like a girl in Kyoto.
Gu Linan hurriedly gave the little guy outside the door a look, and the little guy immediately ran out.
This little move naturally can't be hidden from Ji Jinglian, she estimated that this Gu Linan was afraid that she thought that she was coming to settle accounts with his daughter as a rival in love, but seeing that he was so nervous, she also saw a gorgeous sedan chair outside the door before, thinking that this Xuan Lingji was also on the Gu Mansion, so she sent someone to ventilate and report the news?
It's good that she doesn't have to look for them one by one.
Ji Jinglian said: "Lord Gu doesn't have to be polite, this princess is uninvited and disturbs Lord Gu." ”
Gu Linan only heard Ji Jinglian's soft voice, but he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was just a little girl, and she was not as terrifying as the legend, so she calmly replied, "The princess can come to the Gu Mansion because the Gu Mansion is full of brilliance, the princess, please take a seat first, and the minister will order her subordinates to prepare good tea to entertain Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"No need!" Ji Jinglian said suddenly, "This princess came here to give some small gifts to Sister Xiqing, if Lord Gu is busy with government affairs, this princess will go by herself." ”
After Ji Jinglian finished speaking, Ruoyin clapped his hands, and the palace people behind him immediately brought up large and small gift boxes, opened them and saw that they were full of priceless jewelry and precious medicinal materials, and they could buy a mansion in Kyoto at any time.
Ruoyin said: "The princess heard that Miss Xiqing has been in poor health recently, so she specially ordered to prepare some medicinal materials, can Lord Gu tell the second lady where she lives." ”
Gu Linan's eyes were already shining just by looking at these gifts, he had been in the officialdom for so many years, and he had received so many rewards from the emperor, the sum of the big and small was not as good as the small gifts given by Princess Lian by the way, even Gu Linan, who was good at hiding his thoughts like an old fox, couldn't help but look at it twice at the moment.
Gu Linan said: "I wonder how Her Royal Highness the princess met the little girl? The little girl is still worthy of the princess to call her sister? ”
Ji Jinglian said: "Yesterday, this princess accidentally rescued a dying girl, we hit it off at first sight, only to find out that she was only a few months older than this princess, and this princess called her a sister, and she is the second lady of Gu's family, you say, is this a coincidence?" ”
Gu Linan was so frightened that she was sweating profusely, no wonder when they found Gu Xiqing, she just fainted in the backyard, and all the injuries on her body were healed, it turned out that she was rescued by Princess Lian.
