Chapter 95: The Imperial Concubine of His Royal Highness
Sure enough, as soon as Wan Qinghou heard that it was Gu Xiyan's marriage, he immediately woke up his spirit: "You don't have to worry about your mother about this matter, Sister Xi'er's marriage is up to Sister Xi'er." β
Today, His Majesty told him some heart-wrenching words, nothing more than worrying that His Highness would be over twenty years old but not yet married.
During this period, His Majesty also mentioned Sister Xi'er, saying that Sister Xi has outstanding appearance, gentle temperament, and has a relationship with His Royal Highness.
As soon as he heard this, his heart beat faster, but he could only pretend to be confused and laugh on the side.
If it weren't for his own affection, it would be His Majesty's fall in love with Sister Xi as the princess of His Royal Highness.
Although I don't know when His Majesty will announce the identity of His Highness, I don't know when His Highness will be crowned king. But when the time comes, it is still possible for His Highness to compete for the position of crown prince.
With His Majesty's degree of favor for His Royal Highness, as long as His Highness is willing, the position of the crown prince is in His Highness's pocket.
Under this premise, how dare he let Xiao Gu's sister Xi's idea of marriage? Unless he wants to pull the entire Liu family down.
"But none of the ladies are in charge of their own marriages. The eldest sister is not young, the second sister will get married next year, and I am still discussing marriage, but the eldest sister is left behind, doesn't it make the world think that our Hou Mansion is treating the big sister thinly? Liu Junyan was angry when she heard this, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
"It's not what outsiders think, what matters is what Sister Xi thinks. Go and speak to your mother for your father's sake. "Wan Qinghou was afraid of Xiao Gu's bad things, and went to Manfangyuan.
Liu Junyan hurriedly followed.
Manfang Garden.
Xiao Gu didn't expect Wan Qinghou to come over suddenly. In these years, unless there is something, Wan Qinghou will come to Manfangyuan during the day.
This time, of course, is no exception.
"What?" Xiao Gu asked lukewarmly, unable to put on a good face.
Liu Junyan knows that her parents are not in harmony, and she has always been towards her mother. If it weren't for my father's affection, my mother wouldn't be what she is now.
So when she chose her husband, her requirement was that the other party could not take a concubine.
When she first saw Xu Yanqing, she was fascinated by his face. Later, I learned that he was eighteen years old, and there was not even a connecting room in the family, so one of her hearts fell on Xu Yanqing, to the point that Feiqing would not marry.
"Sister Xi'er's marriage, don't worry about it." Wan Qinghou went straight to the point.
Xiao Gu's face changed slightly: "She was raised by me, and the marriage is naturally decided by me." I'm already looking for a match for her......"
"I repeat, Sister Xi's marriage is up to her. Your Majesty has already issued a will, and has prepared a batch of objects for Sister Xi'er to look at! Wan Qinghou impatiently interrupted Xiao Gu's words.
Xiao Gu is still struggling to the death: "But Xi Yan said it, and I have already made it clear to Xu Sanββ"
"Do you not understand, or do you pretend not to understand? His Majesty has prepared a lot of lists to look at, even if Xu San was excluded by Sister Xi, there are other young talents waiting for Sister Xi to choose! Wan Qinghou said this, meaningfully: "No matter how you say it, Sister Xi is also the daughter of your sister-in-law, you are your sister-in-law's sister, or should you think more about the sisterhood between you and your sister-in-law, some things are too desperate." To be a person and do things, you should leave a line more. β
It was the first time that Xiao Gu heard Wan Qinghou call the late Da Gu his sister-in-law, instead of calling her sister-in-law, and the meaning of this made her think deeply.
Wan Qinghou looked at Liu Junyan again, and said earnestly: "Junyan, you are already fifteen years old, and you have reached the age of sensibility. As a father, I don't ask you to be close to Sister Xi, but you can't embarrass Sister Xi everywhere. It's not clear what happens to people, but maybe one day your eldest sister will cross you and fly up the branches. β
This daughter of his, who is arrogant and arrogant, has a temperament like Xiao Gu's, and has not been taught well by Xiao Gu's family, so she will be embarrassed everywhere.
But Sister Xi'er's future must be clear, even if she doesn't marry His Royal Highness in the end, His Royal Highness will definitely protect Sister Xi'er.
His Majesty loves His Royal Highness, loves the house and Wu, and also looks down on Sister Xi.
In addition, His Royal Highness King Qin is also obsessed with Sister Xi'er, and Sister Xi herself is an assertive person, no matter who she follows in the future, her future is immeasurable.
On the contrary, it is the Liu family, there are few men, one generation is not as good as the next, and all his hopes are now pinned on Brother Jing, but unfortunately Brother Jing is still young.
What will happen to the Hou Mansion in the future, maybe it will depend on Sister Xi'er's face.
But these women in the Hou Mansion all regard Sister Xi as enemies. If one day they really offend Sister Xi'er, Sister Xi will become a decent person one day, and then it will be the women of the Liu family who will look at Sister Xi'er's face and act.
Wan Qinghou was pressed in his heart, he knew that Xiao Gu's was not a worry-free person, so he went to Zaohui Hall again.
"But what did Your Majesty say to you?" The old lady saw Wan Qinghou's gloomy face and asked in a low voice.
Wan Qinghou sighed: "What Your Majesty said to his son is a secret, and his son can't say it." The son came over in the hope that his mother would send someone to keep an eye on Man Fangyuan in the future, and not let Xiao Gu's do too much to Sister Xi. Sister Xi'er's future is limitless, and we must not let our Liu family chill Sister Xi'er's heart. β
The old lady only pondered and understood, His Majesty must have mentioned some things when he was looking for Shuming today, and these things were also related to Sister Xi.
's son has never interfered in backyard affairs, but in recent days, he has frequently come to her for Sister Xi'er and said that Sister Xi'er has an unlimited future.
What this means is self-evident.
At that moment, she said with a straight face: "Don't worry, my mother will keep an eye on Manfangyuan, and my mother will take good care of Xiyuan." β
"There is no need to detain Sister Xi, she can go wherever she wants, but you must pay attention to safety, if she goes out, it is best to send someone to protect her." Wan Qinghou said another word uneasily.
The old lady agreed one by one.
As soon as Wanqinghou left, the old lady personally picked a few people and asked Aunt Ci to send them to Xiyuan.
Gu Xiyan saw the two maids and the two mothers-in-law with their faces, and thought something was wrong.
"Aunt Ci, who are these four?" Gu Xiyan was only worried that the old lady would send someone to spy on Xiyuan.
"They are all slaves personally selected by the old lady, and they have been trained not long after entering the Hou Mansion. The old lady was worried that Xiyuan would not have enough manpower, so she sent them over to serve the eldest girl. In the future, when the eldest girl goes out, there are more people to serve, and the old lady is more at ease. Aunt Ci smiled.
Gu Xiyan said in her heart that there were only four of them in Xiyuan for so many years, and suddenly the old lady cared about her so much, did she take the wrong medicine?
"I appreciate my grandmother's kindness. It's just that I can't ask for any of these people, and I want to find a female guard with kung fu outside to protect my safety. As for my daily life, it is enough for three people to have me around, and I bother my aunt to bring them back. If there is still a reprimand on the grandmother's side, Xiyan will personally go to the grandmother to ask for sin. Gu Xiyan frankly refused.
She also wanted to test the old lady's motives for giving her away, and wondered if the old lady would be angry after she rejected them.
