Chapter 156: Transactions
Gu Xiqian looked at the person in front of her, she obviously wouldn't believe Mu Chuan's words, although he could marry the princess of Lanling Kingdom, but because of this, he would owe him two favors, which made her a little embarrassed, after all, human debts are the most difficult to repay.
And Makikawa put forward two conditions, which made him take advantage of it.
"Yes, but I want to tell you, first of all, it can't be something that hurts nature, and then it can't be too much, and I don't do things that violate morality." Gu Xiqian also put forward conditions to him.
When Makikawa heard this, he hesitated, because he thought that he could take the opportunity to snatch her back, and now that it seemed that he needed to reconsider.
Gu Xiqian looked at his hesitant expression, and sure enough, she guessed his thoughts, so she took the opportunity to say: "You are really such a person, I don't need your help in this matter, I will solve it myself and send it off." With that, he went back to his room.
When I turned around, I saw that Gu Xiqian was gone, and the people were also preparing to send off the guests, and Mu Chuan had no choice but to go back first.
"County Lord, what's wrong with you?" Liuyun asked from the side.
"It's nothing, I'm just in a bad mood." Gu Xiqian took a sip of tea to calm herself down.
Unexpectedly, now Mu Chuan also came to take advantage of the fire to rob, indeed, if he married the princess of Lanling Kingdom, it would naturally be suitable, but Mu Chuan was originally Gu Miaoxuan's person, and it was nothing for him to have one more person.
However, this is a very fatal option for Gu Xiqian, even if he can Mo Xuanyin, but he will be constrained by Mu Chuan.
The next day, something even worse came.
Gu Xiqian saw her father-in-law waiting at the door early in the morning, so she immediately greeted them.
"I don't know why my father-in-law came back?" Gu Xiqian asked.
"The county lord, the slave was ordered by the emperor to come to lobby the county lord, so that he can put down his body and live in peace with the princess of Lanling Kingdom in the future." The father-in-law explained.
However, hearing this, Gu Xiqian's face changed, what is the situation now? Not only do you want to be a concubine, but you also have to get along well with each other? Is there such a good thing in the world?
"Father-in-law, I will never agree to this matter, the princess of Lanling Kingdom, you must also understand the rules of first come, first served, in this way, are you not afraid of being laughed at?" Gu Xiqian said.
"County master, the slave also understands your difficulties, it is indeed unruly to do this, but the emperor has an order, and the slave has no choice." The father-in-law said with an aggrieved face.
Gu Xiqian was also embarrassed, even if Mo Xuanyin didn't agree, it was just a matter of time before this happened, and I didn't know what Gu Miaoxuan would do at that time.
Although I have been thinking about it all night, when I see the other party say it, I still can't accept it.
"Father-in-law, please go back and tell the emperor that I will not give up the position of the main house, so you can dispel this idea before you go." Gu Xiqian said.
After receiving such an answer, the father-in-law was also embarrassed, and Gu Xiqian also took a deep breath, "Send off!" ”
After watching them leave, Gu Xiqian had already understood that there was no time left.
In desperation, I had to go to the palace by myself.
Mu Chuan was also a little surprised when he saw Gu Xiqian coming, originally thinking that it would take some time and conditions, but now that she has come, it means that the conditions can still be discussed.
"Mu Chuan knows the purpose of my coming here, let's be straightforward, I can agree to your conditions, but you also have to agree to my conditions." Gu Xiqian said.
Sure enough, Gu Xiqian's conditions still haven't changed, but Mu Chuan also thought about it all night and understood that these things can be said slowly in the future anyway.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll go into the palace now to tell the emperor." Makikawa said excitedly.
Watching Mu Chuan leave, Gu Xiqian didn't want to stay longer, and after leaving the living room, she saw Gu Miaoxuan coming towards her.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Miaoxuan waited for Gu Xiqian to say.
Gu Xiqian frowned, "I'll come here to see if you're dead." After saying that, he sneered, as if he was laughing at his own reasons.
"Don't worry, thanks to you, I'm doing well now." Gu Miaoxuan sneered.
Looking at her arrogant appearance, Gu Xiqian really couldn't stand it, this was the other party's place again, so she had to leave the palace immediately.
Gu Miaoxuan watched her leave, and was immediately relieved, but just now Mu Chuan and Gu Xiqian talked a few words and left immediately, which made her a little puzzled, could it be that the two of them reached any agreement?
However, now she can only wait for Makikawa to come back.
At this time, Mu Chuan entered the palace and saw that the emperor was reviewing the recital, so he stepped forward to say goodbye.
"Son-in-law Muchuan, see my father."
"Oh? Makikawa, what are you doing here? When the emperor saw Mu Chuan coming to ask for peace, he put down the fold with some surprise.
"The son has a reluctant request, and he also asks my father to marry the princess of Lanling Kingdom to me!" Makikawa said excitedly.
When the emperor heard this, his whole face changed, but he recovered after a while.
"I really didn't expect it, didn't you want to marry before? Why now..."The emperor looked at him and said suspiciously.
"Erchen has changed his mind, since everyone is unwilling, in order to avoid the two countries from fighting each other, Erchen is willing to marry the princess of Lanling Kingdom." Makikawa explained.
Hearing Mu Chuan say this, the emperor immediately laughed, so that there was no need to force Mo Xuanyin, and Mu Chuan's status was also worthy of the princess of Lanling Kingdom, and Gu Miaoxuan naturally had nothing to say.
What's more, Mu Chuan and Gu Miaoxuan are originally on one side, and there will be no change in one more person.
"It's rare that you are so hearted, I will be approved." The emperor smiled.
"That thing about the son." Makikawa whispered.
"That's not what you should care about, you go down." The emperor said impatiently.
Makikawa had no choice but to retreat first.
After watching Mu Chuan leave, the emperor picked up the book and sneered: "Gu Miaoxuan, don't think that you can control the entire Nanyue Kingdom like this, as for Mo Xuanyin, then be my tool once." ”
This is, the soldier walked in and proposed: "Your Majesty, now that the peace of the Lanling Kingdom has been decided, I don't know where the prince is..."
"Shut it down for a while, I have my own measure!" The emperor said impatiently.
For a while, the news of the wedding of Muchuan and Princess Lanling spread in the capital.
Mu Chuan looked at Gu Xiqian, as if implying that he had done it, so now Gu Xiqian owes two favors.
Gu Xiqian had no choice but to accept the facts, but now what she didn't understand was why Mu Chuan had agreed to marry the princess of Lanling Kingdom, and the emperor hadn't released Mo Xuanyin?
However, now we have to wait until the marriage between the two countries is a foregone conclusion, after all, at the last moment, the emperor will suddenly change his mind.
A few days later, the princess of Lanling Kingdom came to the capital, and the people of the capital came out one after another, wanting to see what the princess of Lanling Kingdom looked like.
"You see that the princess of this Lanling Kingdom looks really good."
"Or else? People are princesses, so they naturally eat well and live well. ”
Makikawa also came to the main hall to accept the emperor's presiding and everyone's blessings.
However, they all knew that Makikawa was just a shield, but no one said it.
And Gu Miaoxuan was happy on the surface, but in her heart she cursed Mu Chuan for coming to ruin her own good deeds at this time.
And what's even more embarrassing is that she is no longer the main house, which makes her unable to swallow this breath.
However, for her, the princess had already informed her before she came, and in the future, in front of outsiders, she naturally wanted to give enough face, and the main house was just a nominal name.
Even in the strict sense, the princess is a concubine, and she is still the main house.
However, the other party didn't seem to care much, he came over and kissed, so naturally he didn't think much about it.
A few days later, seeing that the wedding had ended, Gu Xiqian still wondered why the emperor didn't let Mo Xuanyin come out at this time? Then he set out and entered the palace.
However, outside the palace, Gu Xiqian was stopped.
"County Lord, I'm sorry, the emperor has an order to let you in, please go back."
The soldier's answer made her brows furrow, when did she lose her qualifications to enter the palace?
However, with the emperor's order, Gu Xiqian had to think of other ways, and just saw the palace maids and fathers-in-law returning from going out, and suddenly had an idea.
"In that case, I'll change my outfit and go in again." Gu Xiqian muttered in a low voice.
It didn't take long for Gu Xiqian to change into the clothes of a palace maid, planning to sneak into the palace.
However, when she first arrived at the door, Gu Xiqian was already stopped by the soldiers.
"County Lord, this trick doesn't work anymore, please go back." The soldier said helplessly.
Gu Xiqian suddenly reacted, her face was too familiar to them, and she had to change her identity.
At this time, he looked at his father-in-law who came out, and immediately had an idea and left.
The father-in-law took the palace maids out to buy, and the leading father-in-law was caught aside by Gu Xiqian as soon as he finished ordering the matter.
I saw that my father-in-law had just reacted, but he saw Gu Xiqian and asked, "County Lord, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Father-in-law, I have something I want to ask you, that's it..."Gu Xiqian whispered into her father-in-law's ear.
When the father-in-law heard this, his face changed, "County lord, you are guilty of bullying the king, and the little one can't afford it." ”
Gu Xiqian looked at the other party's reluctance, and said: "Okay, since you don't want to, then I will report the money you embezzled before, and see what you do when the time comes!" ”
However, my father-in-law was in a hurry, and he didn't do it at all, isn't this obviously wronged?
"County Lord, just spare me, so let's take you to the palace, but after that, it's up to you." The father-in-law said helplessly.
Subsequently, the father-in-law changed Gu Xiqian into their clothes, and added a hat to cover her, so she naturally would not be recognized.
After everything was ready, her father-in-law took her back to the palace first.
