Chapter 120: The Princess
When Miaohua saw the two of them coming out, she walked straight up, stopped in front of Gu Jiayi, and asked, "Why don't you accept the precious medicinal materials I sent to you?" ”
Gu Huanyi was taken aback by the side, and looked at his brother with round eyes.
When did Miaohua send something to the Gu family? She didn't even know!
I only heard Gu Jiayi say: "I have all the things given by the princess at home, so I don't have to spend money." ”
Miaohua was very angry when she heard this, and said: "I said that it was a thank you gift for the Shangyuan Festival, your family has it, and what I sent is my heart, how is this the same!" ”
Gu Huanyi felt incredible when he listened, what happened to the Shangyuan Festival? When she went to Dongchang to meet the Tang family, did her brother meet Princess Miaohua in the lamp market?
Gu Jiayi said to Miaohua: "The princess has already thanked her, so there is no need for a thank you gift." ”
Miaohua's eyes were a little red, and she said, "You're still blaming me, aren't you?" As soon as I heard that you were stained with cold ice, I thought of my prince brother, I was just scared, and I didn't mean to look down on you. Later, I knew that you were victimized, and I realized that I had misunderstood you, if you are unhappy, can't I apologize to you? ”
Gu Jiayi said: "Cold ice powder is something that makes people smell and change, whether it is taken by yourself or forced by others, but if you get it, it will be a big trouble." Princess Miaohua dislikes me and is not wrong, it is just human nature, there is no need to apologize. ”
Princess Miaohua was so anxious that she jumped to her feet and said, "If you are really angry, say it, if you are not angry, accept my thanks, but this lukewarm appearance will kill me in a hurry." ”
Gu Jiayi sighed, turned to Gu Huanyi and said, "Huan'er, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll come back after saying a few words to the princess." ”
Gu Huanyi didn't know what the situation was between the two of them, and subconsciously nodded in agreement.
After a while, Gu Jiayi came back alone and said, "Okay, let's go home." ”
Gu Huanyi immediately asked, "What about Princess Miaohua?" What the hell is going on with you guys? ”
"It's really a trivial matter...... Gu Jiayi didn't plan to tell her sister, but she bumped into her today, and she couldn't be perfunctory if she didn't explain, so she told the truth.
"On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, Princess Miaohua went to visit the lamp market with Miss Zhong from the Rongguo Mansion, but the crowd was scattered, and she was penniless, so anxious to cry on the street, I met her."
Gu Huanyi said: "There is such a thing, I don't even know at all!" And then? She said she had sent something home, how did I not know? ”
Speaking of this, Gu Jiayi shook her head and said, "She didn't dare to let Concubine Zhen know that she asked Feng Huajun to secretly give it to me, it's not okay to give it to me like this, I have already made it clear to her." ”
Gu Huanyi heard some clues and asked his brother: "Is it okay to just teach and accept it privately, but not Princess Miaohua?" ”
Gu Jiayi smiled bitterly and shook his head, not falling into his sister's trap.
Gu Huanyi refused to give up, and kept asking him what he thought on the way home.
Gu Jiayi provoked another important matter, and said: "This year, on the death day of the Gu family's army, I will go back to Liangzhou to worship, the war in Beiyi has not ended, and the border is not safe, so don't go." ”
Gu Huanyi's ceremony was the sixth day of the first month of March, and she planned to rush back to Liangzhou to do Gu Jiajun's sacrifice after the ceremony, as last year, and then return to the capital after the Qingming Festival.
"This can't be done, how can I let you go back alone?"
Gu Jiayi said: "This is what I should do, and your wedding date is not far away, is the dowry all right?" The house in Comb Bridge can't be left to the prince to pick up alone, so don't worry about the affairs of Liangzhou. ”
Gu Jiajun's memorial and Gu family's ancestor worship should be handled by Gu Jiayi, at this point, Gu Huanyi has nothing to insist on, but she refuses to let her brother go back to Liangzhou alone, because she is worried that her brother will have any entanglements with Beiyi.
The civil strife in Beiyi has been in the country for half a year since September last year.
The Rouran rebel army captured the Beiyi royal court, and the seriously ill Beiyi king fled to the goddess mountain in the birthplace of the Beiyi royal family under the protection of a pair of children, and there were still 50,000 troops guarding the mountain pass, confronting the Rouran rebel army and the Xuanguo border army.
Gu Huanyi listened to Li Congxin say that the prince of King Jing made a military order that it was necessary to capture the Goddess Mountain before the Qingming Festival to pay tribute to the dead of the Gu family's army.
And my brother returned to Liangzhou alone at this time, which made Gu Huanyi very uneasy.
Li Congxin came to Gu Mansion at night to ask Gu Huanyi about the scene of entering the palace to see the queen during the day, and heard that the queen was very good to their brothers and sisters, and sent a female official to preside over Gu Huanyi's ceremony, Li Congxin was very happy.
But seeing Gu Huanyi's worried look, Li Congxin asked her what she was worried about, and Gu Huanyi told her brother about insisting that she go back to Liangzhou.
Li Congxin thought for a while and said, "If you don't worry about his body, you can let Zheng Qing and Feng Hua accompany him to the north." If you're worried about him having anything to do with the Beiyi princess again, you don't have to think too much about it. If Hongye can really capture the Beiyi royal family, he must be personally escorted into Beijing, and I have already told Hongye that the prince and the princess of Beiyi are involved in the treason of our clan relatives and the enemy, and they are confidential criminals, and no one can meet in private. ”
Hearing these words, Gu Huan felt a lot more relieved, and said, "Okay, I'll write another letter to General Cheng, asking him to pay more attention to his brother's situation, I don't think there will be any accidents." ”
In the remaining days, Aunt Qiuwu brought people from the Internal Affairs Office to Gu Mansion to arrange and pay tribute.
Gu Huanyi read the charter, and actually invited the eldest princess of Xuyang to be her guest of honor, wronged Mrs. Fenhou to give a tribute, and invited Princess Miaohua, Miss Xie Shutong of the queen's mother's family, Miss Jin Yun of the Jin family, and Miss Cui Shiyin of the Fenhou Mansion to be deacons, plus He Guangling and Song Xiangjun as the six noble ladies as deacons, the specifications are quite high.
Aunt Qiuwu pointed to the list and said: "These young ladies of the Xie, Jin, and Cui families are all ladies who have been praised by the queen mother for their good character and good appearance, and the mother is looking forward to how close you are." ”
This is the queen expanding her contacts for Gu Huanyi, and Gu Huanyi is grateful.
After determining the etiquette candidates, Gu Huanyi went to thank him in turn and formally invited.
The eldest princess of Xuyang knew that Gu Huanyi was friendly with He Guangling, and she was always persuading He Guangling to consider it seriously in the marriage of the Jin family. She has a very good impression of this little girl, and with the queen opening her mouth, the eldest princess of Xuyang naturally wants to cheer.
Needless to say, Mrs. Fenhou is Gu Huanyi's matchmaker, although she can't be the guest of honor, but she is below the eldest princess, and she has no complaints.
Jin Yun is Jin Ying's sister, Cui Shiyin is Cui Jingxuan's sister, she is a person who has dealings, and there is no obstacle to moving around, only Xie Shutong is a person who has no contact with Gu Huanyi at all.
The Xie family is one of the four great families of the Xuan Kingdom, and they have already emerged as early as when Emperor Yuan conquered the world.
Since the founding of the country, there have been eight emperors in the Xuan Kingdom, four of which are from the Xie family, in the hearts of the people, the Xie family can be equal to the Li family, and the prestige is extremely high.
But fortunately, the Xie family is very clear about his status, and ordered the children of the family who are in politics not to enter the cabinet, and those who are in the army cannot lead an army alone.
Xie Shutong is a little noble and arrogant, as the queen's niece, she also has high capital, but fortunately, her character is not bad, and she is smart, knowing that the queen wants her to be Gu Huanyi's deacon, so that the Xie family can get closer to the future princess of King Ming, so she didn't put on any shelf in front of Gu Huanyi, and she was quite kind.
