Zhou Maocheng didn't know anything about the undercurrent between Lin Weixi and Gu Chengyao. He is still eagerly pulling Gu Chengyao and telling Gu Chengyao how delicate Lin Weixi's body is and how he has tossed people along the way. King Yan tied her up for her, oh no, he invited all the men in the ten li radius, and even more, in order to take care of Lin Weixi, he went into the city and chose a maid for her.
Gu Chengyao was very surprised to hear this: "Father actually chooses the maid himself?"
"Yes." Zhou Maocheng's face was complicated, let alone Gu Chengyao, even an old official who had been with him for more than ten years would find it unbelievable to see this scene.
Gu Chengyao turned his head and glanced at Lin Weixi. Different from the previous talent, this time his eyes were much more complicated. Lin Weixi is not afraid of other people's inquiring eyes. In contrast, she is more concerned about another thing. Why does she feel that Gu Chengyao's eyes just now revealed a little envy
Lin Weixi thought with hindsight, also, although Gu Chengyao was the only son of King Yan, he didn't spend much time with King Yan. King Yan has been in the army for half his life, fighting in the south and the north, and his record is even a small child in the street can say a few words, but he thinks that there is not much time in Yanwang's mansion, and even less time is left for Gu Chengyao.
Zhou Maocheng saw that Gu Chengyao was silent, and after thinking about it, he understood. He sighed in his heart, and pretended to say lightly: "The wars in various places have been levelled, and there will be no more minor troubles in the future. , it must be stable for a long time."
The late emperor was dying, and the emperor was young, and the capital could not be left unattended. If the last rebellion in the northwest was serious, the new dynasty needed to quickly quell the rebellion and deter the four seas, and the king of Yan would not lead the army himself. However, after the deeds of the Duo Huer Ti Department spread out this time, I am afraid that for a long time, no one dared to challenge the authority of King Yan and the suzerain.
Gu Chengyao breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, it was really rare to be in the same house with his father for such a long time.
Gao Ran had already returned from dealing with matters at this time, and she was a little eager to walk. When she saw Gu Chengyao standing in the center of the yard and Lin Weixi not far away, Gao Ran's pupils shrank suddenly.
Gao Ran smiled calmly, greeted Gu Chengyao with a smile, and then stood beside Gu Chengyao naturally, like a hostess. Lin Weixi couldn't help sneering when she saw this. She was disdainful in her heart, and her face inevitably showed some indifference and laxity.
Zhou Maocheng came in with Gu Chengyao. He came in mainly for Lin Weixi. Now that people have seen it, and the concubine has returned, Zhou Maocheng, a foreign man, can't continue to stay in the house of King Yan's mansion, so he left immediately.
After Zhou Maocheng left, there were only three of them left in the yard. For some reason, the servants in the yard suddenly felt an unspeakable depression.
Strange, the prince and the prince's concubine are deeply in love. Although Miss Lin is an outsider, this is the first time she has come to the palace, and there is no feud. Why is the atmosphere suddenly tense
It was Gu Chengyao who acted first. He was a man, and today when King Yan entered the capital, there was something in the outer courtyard that required him to come forward. Gao Ran threw down the guest and chased after him quickly. Lin Weixi watched Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran whispering through the shadowy screen window. The two stood very close, whispering in a whisper. Gao Ran always looked at Gu Chengyao tenderly. When leaving, he gently reached out and brushed the dust off Gu Chengyao's shoulders.
Lin Weixi was dazzling to see. When she was alive, she managed the Prince Yan's mansion very strictly. No matter what house in the mansion must be cleaned every day, what kind of dust can Gu Chengyao fall into when he walks in the mansion? Even if there is a gust of wind blowing today, dust falls on Gu Chengyao's shoulders, so does the servant girl behind him have no hands, does he need Gao Ran to brush the dust
Lin Weixi rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, pretentious and disgusting. Lin Weixi regretted it, she shouldn't be forced to come to Yan Wang's mansion because of King Yan's majesty.
Fortunately, Gu Chengyao was born and raised in an aristocratic family after all, and he was not used to being too close to his wife in person. He glanced at Gao Ran gratefully, and whispered something, then strode out.
At this time, Gao Ran seemed to remember that there was another guest in the room. She walked to the second room, her cheeks were flushed, and the bride's shyness was just right: "Miss Lin laughed."
Lin Weixi smiled cooperatively, but his eyes rolled a lot in his heart.
For the rest of the time, Lin Weixi sat in the splendid banquet hall of the Yanwang Mansion, listening to Gao Ranzhang from time to time casually mentioning the dignitaries of the royal mansion, the power of her family's British government, and the "trouble" caused by Gu Chengyao's always worrying about her. ". If it wasn't for the news of King Yan's return from outside at the critical moment, Lin Weixi would have almost responded on the spot.
Gu Huiyan was introduced to the palace by the eunuch as soon as he entered the capital. After meeting the emperor and the empress dowager Qian, he comforted the mother and son before leaving the palace smoothly. Until now, he was standing in his mansion, still carrying fine dust on his body.
From the moment Gu Huiyan entered the door, the entire Yanwang's mansion has obviously come alive. The servants in the front and backyards are no matter what they do, and now they are running eagerly, shouting with joy and awe: "The prince is back!"
King Yan came back, and after three years of absence from the palace of Pang Ran, the real master finally arrived.
The inner courtyard also heard noises from outside, Gao Ran quickly stood up, unconsciously showing a nervous state: "King Yan is back? Mother Tao, do you think I'm fine?"
Gao Ran and her maid were in a hurry. Lin Weixi ignored the people behind her and slowly got up and stood at the door. When she saw the person coming, she gave a standard 10,000 blessing to the courtyard: "His Royal Highness King Yan."
Hearing the voice, Gao Ran quickly came out to salute. Gu Huiyan was talking to Gu Chengyao, and when he heard a familiar voice, he stopped and looked at Lin Weixi in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Lin Weixi was stunned by the question: "Didn't you have to bring me to the palace?"
Gu Chengyao and the old man in the palace behind changed their faces, and were about to speak, but heard Gu Huiyan sigh helplessly and said, "I'm asking why you didn't go to rest. Didn't someone arrange for someone to take you back, why do you still stand still? it's here?"
It turned out that she was wrong, Lin Weixi stood up before Gu Huiyan could speak, and said indifferently, "I'm waiting to greet you."
"to be frank."
"Actually, I don't know where I want to live. If you don't speak up, how dare I walk around."
As soon as Gu Huiyan came out of the palace city, he was unconscious and calm all the way. King Yan's coercion was fully revealed, even Gu Chengyao was frightened when he saw it, and surrendered wholeheartedly. But when he arrived at Lin Weixi's place, Gu Huiyan brought a smile to his lips with just a few words, and gave her a clear and funny look: "As long as you can talk, you are weak and you need to rest in peace, Jingtan Garden is suitable, just put Bring things there."
Jingdan Garden? Lin Weixi knew the structure of Prince Yan's mansion. She smiled and immediately thanked Gu Huiyan: "Thank you Prince Yan."
Gao Ran hurriedly came out to greet Gu Huiyan, because she positioned herself as gentle, generous, white and rich, so Gu Huiyan didn't mention it, and she maintained her squatting manner. But who would have thought that King Yan, who was so famous in the world, would talk to a little girl about such trivial matters as daily life, without caring about such a loss of identity. Gao Ran couldn't help but looked up, glanced forward in surprise, and found that Gu Chengyao also had obvious surprise in his eyes. Obviously, King Yan was not an easy-going person, and when the Hefu saw him, he didn't dare to come out, let alone contradict. However, Lin Weixi's words just now were already disrespectful in the default guidelines of the Yan Wangfu.
Gao Ran has some taste in her heart, Jingdan Garden, she has long been optimistic about it, and plans to leave it to her son in the future. It is self-evident that Jingdan Garden and Gu Chengyao, the yard where the prince lives, are built symmetrically. It is only because there are few people in Prince Yan's mansion that they are left unused. Lin Weixi is an orphan who lives in the palace for no apparent reason. Why does she live there
Gu Huiyan seemed to have only seen other people at this moment. He glanced down, stepped into the main hall, and said in a flat tone, "Get up."
Only then did Gao Ran straighten up, just a face to face, Gao Ran felt unspeakable pressure. She finally realized that her imagination of the real wealthy family was still too superficial. King Yan was by no means the wealthy generation she had seen in her previous life.
Even King Yan himself is the son of the powerful, he just expanded his own glory many times. If Gao Ran was still full of confidence in herself before, but now she hesitates, if King Yan is really dissatisfied with her background... Is it really useful for her to work hard at housekeeping and express herself
After Gu Huiyan appeared, he obviously did not show a cold and ferocious color, but the whole room was full of breath and awe. He swept over Lin Weixi and asked, "Have you met each other?"
"Yes." It was Gu Chengyao who spoke. He took a step forward and knelt down for Gu Huiyan. Gao Ran glanced at him and quickly followed.
"The son is not filial, so he pays respects to his father."
Gu Chengyao pressed his forehead to the ground deeply, and Gao Xi also bowed to the ground. Lin Weixi gave way to the side to avoid the kneeling and worship of Gu Chengyao and his wife. But at the same time, Lin Weixi felt a strange sense of joy in his heart. Although this kneeling was not directed at her, but now Lin Weixi is standing, and both Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran are kneeling, this is enough to make Lin Weixi feel dark.
The boat was done, Gu Huiyan didn't embarrass Gu Chengyao and his new daughter-in-law, he looked at them calmly for a while, and then motioned them to get up. When Gao Ran heard the great joy, her maid immediately brought tea. She held the tea and cupped her eyebrows with both hands, and said respectfully, "Daughter-in-law will serve tea to father."
Gu Huiyan took it over and lifted the tea lid, just gestured and put it on the table, without any intention of drinking tea. But this was enough for Gao Ran, she kowtowed to Gu Huiyan, and then stood up with the help of the dowry maid.
Lin Weixi stood by and watched the whole process, she was sneering in her heart, and suddenly heard Gu Huiyan calling her name: "You are already sick, it's not good to stay outside for too long, go back and rest."
Lin Weixi's goal was achieved, and he didn't want to stand here and look at the pair of "Bi people" and make trouble. She resigned to Gu Huiyan, Gu Huiyan nodded, seemed worried, and added: "Jingdan Garden hasn't lived in for a long time. If you have something you can't take advantage of, say it as soon as possible, don't bear it yourself, you know?"
Lin Weixi gave an "um" and couldn't help asking: "King Yan, then my suitcase..."
Gu Huiyan moved his brows obviously, but didn't speak, just looked at her with a deep gaze. Lin Weixi smiled at Gu Huiyan, very shameless: "Of course I don't dare to doubt His Royal Highness King Yan... It's just that you can rest assured that you can hold this kind of thing in your own hands."
Gu Huiyan retracted his gaze and still didn't say a word, but there was already a smile in his eyes: "I need your things, let's go."
Lin Weixi then left with satisfaction. When the servant of the palace led Lin Weixi to Jingdan Garden, his expression was always horrified.
Lin Weixi suddenly transformed from an exploited daughter-in-law to a privileged class exploiting people, not to mention how comfortable he was. Jingtan Garden really lived up to its privileged location. Lin Weixi bathed comfortably and washed the dust. After taking another nap, the servants outside came over cautiously and reported, "Miss Lin, are you awake?"
The visitor thought that Lin Weixi didn't know her, but Lin Weixi knew it very well. Lin Weixi looked at the completely different attitudes of these old servants of the palace, and smiled sarcastically: "What's the matter?"
"There is a banquet ahead. The lord said that if the girl wakes up, let the servants invite the girl to the front hall for dinner."
King Yan came back, so the regulation of dinner should not be sloppy. Lin Weixi's clothes and hair accessories are all ready-made, there is no need to dress up, she stood up and said, "I see, lead the way ahead."
When they got to the place, everyone stood with bated breath, and Gao Ran stood by the side and was not allowed to take a seat. Lin Weixi saluted Gu Huiyan calmly, and calmly walked around and sat down, as if he was part of the family.
Lin Weixi was sitting comfortably, while Gao Ran had to stand and serve the elders to eat. This comparison was really uncomfortable. Gu Huiyan didn't care, he saw Lin Weixi changed his clothes, frowned slightly, and asked, "Does your head still hurt today?"
Obviously this is Lin Weixi's problem on the road. She is weak and will have a headache after blowing the wind. She has to be more careful after grooming. Lin Weixi shook his head and said, "It's nothing major, don't worry about it."
Gu Huiyan frowned again when he heard this, but this was not the occasion to talk about it, so he didn't say much. After passing through the hands of many maids, the dishes were silently sent into the main hall one by one, and Gao Ran took the public chopsticks to distribute dishes to everyone. Inevitably, Lin Weixi had to be taken care of. Lin Weixi was secretly relieved, and on the surface he had to refuse: "Xie Shizifei, Shizifei is really polite."
Gao Ran smiled stiffly: "As a wife, you have to marry your husband, teach your children, and take care of the housework. That's what I should do." Daughter-in-law can sit at dinner, but it's not customary for a daughter-in-law to eat. Gao Ran was so sick that he was going to vomit to death.
Gu Huiyan glanced at Lin Weixi lightly, and said, "There are no outsiders, so you don't have to live like this. Sit down."
Gao Ran declined as usual, Gu Huiyan's expression was indifferent, Gao Ran suddenly felt a sudden shock in his heart, remembering what the old servant had mentioned before: King Yan never said a second time.
Gao Ran didn't dare to act in a pretentious manner, just at this moment when Gu Chengyao looked at her, Gao Ran immediately took advantage of the situation and sat beside Gu Chengyao.
This meal was silent, Gu Huiyan just stopped, and the others immediately put down their chopsticks. There are still many things to pay attention to after the meal in the palace. After Lin Weixi rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, he heard Gu Huiyan questioning Gu Chengyao. The voice was neither happy nor angry, but it contained surging power: "I heard Gu Mingda say that in the past few months, the palace Walking around with Princess Shoukang's mansion is lax, what's going on?"
