Chapter 26: The Chief
The second prince didn't expect Xiao Yanlin to suddenly appear here.
If you have to say it, Xiao Yan is here, but it is even more tricky than Prime Minister Gu appearing here.
Not to mention that he has military power in his hands, even Emperor Ye has to be polite to him, just say that Xiao Yanlin won a series of big victories at the border back then, rescued Daye and water and fire, and Emperor Ye even had the idea of worshipping Xiao Yan.
It was Xiao Yan who knew the advance and retreat and vetoed Emperor Ye's kindness.
But Rao is like this, Xiao Yanlin's military exploits in his hands are real, if he really worshiped back then, now he has to call Xiao Yanlin "Uncle Huang".
Now the Marquis of Zhenbei occasionally goes to the harem, and when they are present, Emperor Ye will ask them to call Xiao Yanlin an uncle.
"How did Zhenbei Hou have this Yaxing, and suddenly came to this Nian'an Temple? I once heard that Zhenbei Hou doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, only believes in himself, how did he change his sex? ”
If Emperor Ye was present at this time, hearing his unkind tone, he would inevitably have to reprimand.
But now, he is angry, and he definitely won't worry so much.
Xiao Yanlin's face remained unchanged when he heard this, and he was still unfazed.
He just turned his gaze to Gu Baiyu, and his expression was a little gentle.
"Miss Gu is here, what's strange about me coming, Miss Gu and Mrs. Gu believe in Buddhism, so I can naturally follow suit."
These words really raised face for Gu Baiyu and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if ordinary men said this, they were afraid that they would be laughed at and scolded for "strict wife".
But the second prince didn't find it interesting, but his face became even more gloomy.
"Is Zhenbei Hou insisting on participating in the Gu family's family affairs before marrying Miss Gu?"
"Well, I have a marriage contract with Miss Gu, which is not abrupt. is the second prince, who is not related to each other, and there is no reason to force people to marry righteous relatives. ”
"You!"
The second prince is angry, this is not giving him any face!
"Good! Good! Good! Zhenbei Hou is very good! ”
"If the second prince is okay, I will take Miss Gu and the others and leave first. After all, there are foreign men here, and the two young ladies have a bad reputation. ”
This "foreign man" naturally refers to the second prince.
The second prince was already pale at the moment.
He glared at Xiao Yanlin fiercely, and then turned his gaze to Gu Ruan Ruan.
Gu Ruan Ruan also glanced at him, with dodge in his eyes.
The second prince is until, and there is no way to continue this matter today.
He didn't bother to meet Gu Ruan Ruan again another day.
This family touched his face!
"Even if you can't get married, it won't affect the king's appreciation of Miss Gu Er."
The second prince retracted his gaze, "Second Miss Gu, on the day of your wedding, this king will definitely give a rich dowry, don't worry." ”
With that, he turned and left.
It wasn't until the second prince left that Gu Baiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Ruan Ruan didn't know how to face Mrs. Gu, and lowered her head tightly.
Mrs. Gu's tone had eased up, and she thanked Xiao Yan again and again.
and said to Gu Baiyu intimately: "Thank you Master Hou, I will take your sister to the carriage first." ”
Gu Ruan Ruan said: "Mother's ......"
"Let's go, my mother has something to ask you."
When did this daughter hook up with the second prince, she has to ask!
The family and the second prince's faction have completely turned their faces, this concubine is good, and she still has private dealings, if this is known by others, it is necessary to say that they Gu family is in the twilight, participating in partisan disputes, and a few bets!
Gu Ruan Ruan was reluctantly taken away by Mrs. Gu.
The other people in the Buddha hall have been taken away by the host, and only Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin are left at this moment.
"Master Hou, thank you so much today."
"What's polite to me?"
When facing Gu Baiyu alone, Xiao Yanlin's expectations became more and more gentle.
However, thinking of the appearance of the second prince when he left, Gu Baiyu frowned slightly.
"Why is the second prince so persistent in Gu Ruanruan, it stands to reason that today's Hou Ye's attitude is like this, and my mother doesn't agree, it shouldn't say the ...... of giving Gu Ruan Ruan a dowry when they get married."
"Don't worry, if you really can't rest assured, I'll check it for you."
At the same time, the second prince returned in defeat.
His carriage stopped at the gate of Nian'an Temple, and when he came out, he looked cold, and the people did not dare to speak.
The second prince got into the carriage, the carriage was very spacious, and in addition to the second prince, there was actually a person sitting on it!
"Second prince, didn't it go well?"
The person who spoke looked to be forty or fifty years old, wearing a Taoist robe, with a neat and slender beard, and a whisk in his hand, to the point that he had a bit of a fairy wind.
Facing this person, the second prince put away the anger on his body, and even politely saluted this person.
"Mu Daochang, this king has not done this thing. However, he still told Miss Gu Er that she would give a dowry on her wedding day, and I believe that there is still room for development in the future. ”
The person known as "Mu Daochang" nodded, and his tone was not hurried: "It's okay, the second prince has a relationship with this woman, and there will be more opportunities to contact in the future." ”
Speaking of this, the second prince couldn't help but ask, "Daoist Mu, why are you so persistent with this woman?" ”
Mu Daochang is unfathomable: "I can't say much about the superfluous, if I say it, it will reveal the secret of heaven." The second prince only needs to remember that this woman has an extraordinary background and has great wisdom hidden in her body, if the second prince wants to achieve great things in the future, this woman will be a great help for you. ”
"The second prince must be sure to encircle this person, she will bring unexpected gains to the second prince in the future."
He was still speaking so ambiguously, but the second prince believed it.
He couldn't believe it.
On the eve of the Gu family's repentance of marriage, this Mu Daochang suddenly came to the door and told him in advance that his marriage with Gu Baiyu might be variable, and predicted a few things in the future, which seemed to be a master of insight into opportunities.
As for Gu Ruanruan, he seems to attach great importance to Gu Ruan Ruan, and he has a soft spot, only saying that this person will be of great use in the future.
The second prince himself didn't see the usefulness of such a concubine, and even felt that she was not as good as Gu Baiyu at all.
He also proposed to directly include Gu Ruan Ruan in his back house, but Mu Daochang still said that she and himself had no husband and wife fate for the time being, so don't be self-defeating.
The second prince can only choose to believe.
......
Not to mention what the second prince had in mind on Gu Ruan Ruan.
Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin said a few words, worried about Mrs. Gu in the carriage, and then offered to say goodbye and leave.
Xiao Yanlin said that he would escort them back, but Gu Baiyu did not refuse.
Gu Baiyu got into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people around him were silent, with their heads lowered.
Gu Baiyu felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
Sure enough, when I got into the carriage, I saw Gu Ruan Ruan covering her cheeks, and Mrs. Gu didn't speak with a cold face on the side.
Mrs. Gu has always been good-tempered, but today she must be angry and made a move.
"Mother, dissipate your anger."
"How do you tell me to be angry!"
Mrs. Gu was angry again: "This elm head, I don't know what to do!" What is the situation between your father and the second son of the emperor, you know it in your own hearts! It's too late to avoid it, you're good! Climb up! ”
"Mother!" Gu Ruan Ruan was not convinced: "I have already told you the reason!" Eggs can't be put in the same basket, how does Daddy know that the person he supports will definitely be able to ascend to the throne? With the support of many parties, the family can only run a long way for themselves! ”
