He did not return to the capital until the end of March.

During this period, the situation in the capital changed.

First of all, Wang went to Qingzhou and served as the Qingzhou Thorn History.

Secondly, Chen Suxin successfully married Li Chengye, the second lang of the Anle Houfu, and became the wife of the prince.

Immediately, a new princess was added to the Yan Palace-the Lin family.

Lin is the youngest daughter of Chen Guogong, born with a beautiful and elegant appearance, dignified and elegant, and is a beautiful and virtuous woman.

She was given the title of county lord and married on the sixth day of the third month.

The Lin family's dowry was rich, and the dowry list was sent to the Yan Palace, shocking everyone.

Princess Yan finished reading the list with an expressionless face.

Mama Liu asked, "Grandma, what do you think of the second lady's dowry?" ”

Princess Yan sneered, "Her dowry is better than ours." ”

Mama Liu said: "I didn't expect this. According to the rules, the royal family should be managed by the princess as a dowry. ”

"So I said, her dowry is better than mine."

"Grandma, don't you mind? After all, this second lady is your future brother and sister, and she is also a member of the royal family. ”

Princess Yan shook her head slightly, "What qualifications do I have?" What's more, I don't know her dowry. She had a good dowry, which was just right, and it saved me a lot of thought. ”

Mama Liu said: "If the second lady marries, she will definitely suppress you, grandma." ”

Princess Yan sneered, "Suppress me? With her virtue, what did she do to suppress me? Is it just her respect? Does she deserve it? ”

"Grandma, what are you going to do?"

Princess Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, she wants to suppress me, and it depends on whether she has the ability." ”

"The slave dares to ask grandma, if it really comes to that point, how are you going to deal with it?"

Princess Yan's eyes were shining, and she said in a resolute tone: "Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!" Whoever dares to jump out and seek death, I will destroy her. ”

"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys......" Mama Liu murmured.

Princess Yan smiled contemptuously, "Chen Suxin wants to be a phoenix, and she also has to see if I am willing to let her soar." If she had been honest, I would have spared her life, and if she dared to make waves, I would have chopped her up. ”

Princess Yan's eyes flashed with coldness, and her whole body exuded a strong evil aura.

Her sons are not in the capital, and she must protect the palace for them.

Whoever dares to bully the women of her sons, she dares to kill!

*************************

The capital, the Marquis of Anping.

Xiao Boyu sat on a chair and drank tea, his expression was very serious.

The eldest princess of Anyang sat down and was silent.

After a while, the eldest princess of Anyang sighed, "Boyu, your father and mother have promised to marry you to the fourth lady of the Lin family, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Xiao Boyu pursed his lips, "Does grandmother know why I hesitated?" ”

"It's not that my grandson can't forget her, my grandson feels ......"

Xiao Boyu paused for a moment and took a deep breath, "Lin Siniang is not suitable. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Why is Lin Siniang not suitable? Although she is a concubine, she is better than being a good match for you. As for her origin......"

The eldest princess of Anyang snorted coldly, "It's just the daughter of a merchant, you marry this kind of woman, and I won't wronged you." ”

Xiao Boyu frowned, "But I always feel that she is too young, she is just a child." She is only seven years old, and if I marry her, won't it be a mess of generations? ”

The eldest princess of Anyang snorted coldly, "What do you know about this kid?" Getting married at this age is the best time. You are marrying her now because she is young. When she reaches the crown, it will not be your turn to take a concubine, so you can only continue to wait. ”

Xiao Boyu shook his head, "My grandson would rather wait for her to grow up than marry someone else, let alone take a concubine." ”

The eldest princess of Anyang was anxious, "Bastard, is there a choice for this kind of thing?" You married Lin because of her strong family background. But look at it, how many families in the capital dare to marry the daughter of the Lin family as their daughter-in-law? Unless they're alive enough. ”

"Could it be that no one in the capital dares to marry the Lin family? No matter how you look at it, the Lin family is not bad! ”

"You know what?" The eldest princess of Anyang was angry.

She glared at Xiao Boyu with hatred, "You married the Lin family, not only because of the power of the Lin family, but also because of two other reasons. First, the Lin family's family property is enough to support the entire Xiao family. Second, Lin's father and brother are both on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, they have made military achievements, and the court has treated them quite leniently, and the official has been promoted to one level. Lin is a daughter again, and if you marry her in the future, there will be hope for her father's and brother's future. ”

"Even so, I don't want to marry her!" Xiao Boyu said categorically.

The eldest princess of Anyang gritted her teeth, "You don't want to marry her, then tell me, who else can you marry?" ”

"My grandson wants to marry Gu Enshi's daughter, Gu Xiuting."

The eldest princess of Anyang was stunned, "You're crazy." You married Gu Enshi's daughter, do you still want to take the imperial examination in the future? ”

Xiao Boyu said as a matter of course: "Grandmother, I want to take the imperial examination, but I don't reject marrying a wife. I like Gu's daughter, and I want her to be my wife to Xiao Boyu. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang roared angrily, "Ridiculous, ridiculous, simply ridiculous." ”

Xiao Boyu raised his head and chest, his expression was calm, "Grandmother, I'm not ridiculous. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang was angry, and stretched out her hand to point at Xiao Boyu, "You bastard, you actually covet your cousin's daughter." ”

Xiao Boyu nodded solemnly, "That's right, I just want to marry Gu Xiuting." Grandmother rest assured that her grandson would never marry Lin, nor would she touch a single hair of Lin. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang's cheeks trembled, and said angrily: "You are dreaming! ”

Xiao Boyu retorted without humility or arrogance, "Grandmother, I'm serious. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang was extremely angry, raised her slap, and wanted to kill Xiao Boyu.

Xiao Boyu stood still, his eyes closed, waiting for the eldest princess of Anyang to slap him.

Syllable~

The hand of the eldest princess of Anyang fell short.

Xiao Boyu opened his eyes and stared at the eldest princess of Anyang suspiciously.

The eldest princess of Anyang scolded angrily: "Fool! Idiot! Do you think I won't dare hit you? ”

Xiao Boyu closed his eyes again, with a tough attitude, "Grandmother, please." If you slap me today, I will write a letter of resignation tomorrow, and I will reconcile. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang was stunned.

How did she give birth to such a bastard thing!

"Wow, since you want to reconcile and leave so much, you can write a letter of resignation now. I've already written the letter of resignation, so you can write it. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang took out the letter of resignation from her arms and threw it to Xiao Boyu.

Xiao Boyu's eyes were locked on the book, and he didn't take the pen for a long time.

"You write!" The eldest princess of Anyang urged.

Xiao Boyu suddenly asked, "Why does grandmother have to marry her grandson to the Lin family?" I remember that the Lin family was a concubine. ”

"I just want you to marry the Lin family, do you hear clearly?"

"But I don't love her."

"Don't love?"

"That's right, I don't love her." Xiao Boyu's expression was calm, "Grandmother should know that the education I received since I was a child is that my father and grandmother are in charge of marriage. My grandmother asked me to marry her, but my grandson couldn't refuse, and he couldn't. Whether you marry the Lin family or marry Gu Xiuting, you can be as happy as you like. But can grandmother be a different person? Like what...... Lin's sister or sister, such as the daughter of Gu Shilang's family. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang asked sharply: "Gu Shilang is a concubine." You married his daughter, how will you let me meet people in the future? How will you let the ancestors of the Xiao family meet people in the future? ”

Xiao Boyu said: "I married Gu Shilang's daughter to give Gu Shilang face. If my grandmother is afraid of being embarrassed, it is better to erase Gu Shilang's name, change her surname to Xiao, and pass on the title to my father. ”

"Bastard!"

The eldest princess of Anyang slapped the table hard, "I am your own grandmother, and you want to take away my hard-earned family business?" What about your conscience? ”

Xiao Boyu said indifferently: "Grandmother, you are an elder. It is the duty of the younger generation to honor you, but it does not mean that the younger generation can tolerate my grandmother's interference in my marriage. Miss Gu and I were married by the emperor, and you can't do it even if you are dissatisfied. I don't marry the Lin family, it's the same if you don't agree, anyway, my grandson must marry Gu Xiuting. ”

As soon as Xiao Boyu's voice fell, the voice of the maid sounded outside the door, "Old lady, Gu Ge Lao asks to see." ”

Old man Gu?

The eldest princess of Anyang raised her eyebrows.

"Let him in."

The eldest princess of Anyang restrained her anger and returned to her usual dignified grace.

Old Man Gu stepped inside and bowed to the eldest princess of Anyang, "Meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Anyang." ”

"No courtesy." The eldest princess of Anyang said lightly, "Why is Elder Gu Ge here?" Sit down and talk. ”

Old man Gu sat down on the chair on the right side of the eldest princess of Anyang, "I'll come to talk to the old woman about Gu Shilang's marriage." ”

The eldest princess of Anyang said with a smile: "Old Gu is here for Gu Shilang's proposal." I know you want to seek justice for Gu Shilang, but I have already arranged this matter, so you can rest assured for the time being. ”

Old Man Gu looked at the eldest princess of Anyang with a smile, "Oh? Old woman, who are you going to marry Gu Shilang? ”

The eldest princess of Anyang smiled: "My niece Gu Yuyao is a good girl. ”

"Niece?" Old Man Gu sneered, "I heard that Gu Yuyao's reputation is very bad. If you want her to give Gu Shilang a joy, with all due respect, you have made a mistake. She is indeed not worthy of Gu Shilang, my grandson, she can only marry a wife, not a concubine. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang smiled: "Lao Gu misunderstood. I am proposing marriage for Gu Jinyu, and I am going to recruit a son-in-law for Gu Jinyu and marry into the Hou Mansion. ”

Old Man Gu frowned and said: "Although Jinyu is young, but when it is time to say goodbye, I think it is better to take it slowly and slowly find a suitable candidate." ”

"Old Gu, I know you love Jinyu, but don't forget, Gu Jinyu is already engaged. Gu Jinyu's fiancé is Lu Zheng, do you think Gu Jinyu can escape from Lu Zheng's clutches? ”

Old Man Gu was silent for a moment, "I don't interfere with Jinyu's marriage contract, but the Gu family's aunt and grandmother must marry a concubine." ”

The eldest princess of Anyang sighed, "I think so too." Lao Gu, how many years have we known each other, don't you know my character? Am I the kind of person who will stop at all to achieve the end? ”

Old Man Gu shook his head, "You're not." ”

The eldest princess of Anyang smiled slightly, "Since you trust me, don't stop me from helping my niece." After a pause, he continued: "Old Gu, you don't have to worry, as long as I am here, I will not be wronged by Jinyu." There is only one bloodline left in the Gu family, and I will not let her marry into a shabby and poor family. ”

"It's not that I don't believe you, but ......"

"Nothing. What I decide, it is useless for any of you to persuade me. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang interrupted Old Man Gu's words, "You came to me, did you want me to cancel the marriage contract to Gu Jinyu?" Are you reluctant to Jinyu? ”

Old Man Gu snorted coldly, "How could I be reluctant to let Jinyu go." The Gu family was established by me, and what I value most is the glory and wealth of the Gu family. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang said with a smile: "You are reluctant to take care of the family's property. Lao Gu, you are not young anymore, you should enjoy happiness. Look at you, you live in a blue brick house, and you wear patches and patches of clothes, and you have a really bad life. ”

"You want to chase me away?"

"How dare I. You are the patriarch of the Gu family, how dare I drive you away. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang spoke softly, as if the two were a pair of old friends with deep feelings, "I sincerely think about you." Look at the other officials in the capital, the mansions they live in are not only spacious and luxurious, but also top-notch in terms of food and drink, how can you live in such a dilapidated place, and you don't even want to serve anyone. ”

"I don't have a shortage of people to serve, I just need to be pure."

"Old Gu, you should sell me a favor and let me take care of Gu Jinyu for you. In the future, Gu Jinyu will get married, and I will give her a house, which can be regarded as my compensation for you. What do you think? ”

"Not good."

"Old man Gu, how can you be like this?" Xiao Boyu stood up and accused Old Man Gu, "How can you embarrass your grandmother? You refused to agree to your grandmother's proposal, but instigated Uncle Gu to withdraw from the marriage contract, what are your intentions? ”

Old Man Gu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Boyu, "This matter has nothing to do with you." ”

Xiao Boyu sneered: "This matter naturally has nothing to do with me, because I don't want to marry Gu Shilang in your mouth at all." I'd rather die than marry another woman who has been slept with and is not chaste. ”

"Smack!"

Old Man Gu raised his palm and slapped Xiao Boyu hard.

Xiao Boyu's cheeks were instantly swollen, and bright red blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

"Old Gu, are you crazy?" The eldest princess of Anyang was shocked, "Bo Yu is your own flesh and blood, how can you beat him?" ”

Old Man Gu's eyes widened, "You don't want to threaten me with Boyu." I'll tell you today, I won't recognize Gu Shilang's grandson. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang scolded angrily: "Old man Gu, why did you become so confused? ”

Old Man Gu stared at the eldest princess of Anyang, his eyes flashed with hatred, "Old Gu? Haha, I'm an old Gu head, I'm not young anymore. I'm alive now, just for Gu Jinyu. Gu Jinyu marrying the Hou Mansion is a hundred times better than marrying a poor boy. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang secretly said stupidly.

"Old Gu, I understand what you mean. Gu Jinyu is your only granddaughter, and you want her to be happy. I also promised that I would not let Gu Jinyu suffer the slightest grievance. The eldest princess of Anyang achieved her goal of wooing Old Man Gu, and in the face of Old Man Gu's questioning, she was still as calm as before, and even showed a little guilt, "Old Gu, I can't stand you." At the beginning, I handed over Jinyu to you to raise, but she met with an accident. Don't worry, I will never treat Jinyu badly. ”

Old Man Gu sneered, "I don't have anything to worry about you." I've seen through it a long time ago, you can't be trusted. From beginning to end, I never thought that you would have the slightest affection for me, and I never had any illusions. ”

The eldest princess of Anyang smiled bitterly.
