Eldest Princess Shoukang's smile froze, she blinked, thinking she had misheard.
Gu Huiyan still maintained a calm smile and calmly looked at the eldest princess Shoukang.
Gu Huiyan's expression really didn't look like a joke, Shoukang slowly smothered his words just now, and then he realized what King Yan said.
Rao is Shoukang's eldest princess was shocked and choked. The maid stepped forward to serve, but was pushed away by Shoukang: "What did you say? You... Are you serious?"
"really."
Shoukang looked at Gu Huiyan, who was calm and calm, as if he was talking about something as common as eating and drinking. If she wasn't old and confused, Gu Huiyan only entrusted her to look after her husband's house for Prime Minister Lin Weixi a month ago, right? What happened in the middle of this, unexpectedly made such a big reversal.
Princess Shoukang hurriedly took a sip of tea, and after she calmed down a little, she thought about it again. Of course Shoukang wanted to find a good husband for Lin Weixi in the capital. These days, she also secretly saw several powerful men, but which powerful man could compare to King Yan
And even if Shoukang chooses again, Lin Weixi must wait for her in-laws and aunts when she gets married to someone else's house. No matter how Shoukang finds an in-law's family with a clean family style and a simple family, a daughter-in-law and a daughter are different in the end. Serve carefully. But if it was in the King Yan's mansion, then these troubles would not exist. King Yan's parents had passed away for many years, and the mansion had three masters. Except King Yan, the other two were sons and daughters-in-law. If Lin Weixi married King Yan, then he would be the elder of the prince and the prince's concubine. Who would dare to look at Lin Weixi's face
The more Shoukang thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good thing. King Yan had clear hands and eyes, and he was powerful. He was not the kind of person who would be deceived by the tricks of the back house. As long as Lin Weixi didn't make King Yan angry in the future, then she would not have to suffer from the secret loss of the house. The prince is also an adult, Lin Weixi doesn't even have to take the anger of being a stepmother, but instead has an extra filial daughter-in-law.
The eldest princess Shoukang almost laughed out loud when she thought of this, and Gao Ran deliberately robbed Gao Xi's marriage, not for the power of Prince Yan's mansion, did she want to be the master and hostess of the mansion, but you must know that Prince Yan's mansion belongs to King Yan. , not Gu Chengyao's. Once Princess Yan was hanging in the air, Gao Ran, the prince concubine, was in charge of the central feeder. Once the real hostess entered the door, what was Gao Ran
Shoukang was overjoyed, she was relieved about Lin Weixi's life, and only then did she have time to think about the intention of King Yan's words. Women are naturally good at gossip, and Shou Kanggui is no exception as a princess. She asked tentatively: "King Yan, it's not that I, the elder, are disrespectful to the old, but it was fine some time ago. You suddenly mentioned this matter today. Is there any reason?"
Even after killing the eldest princess Shoukang, she couldn't think of this cool idea. It was Lin Weixi who brought it up on her own initiative. She still thought that King Yan was taking care of Lin Weixi all the way. What is unknown to outsiders, this catalyzes...
Gu Huiyan looked at Princess Shoukang's eager eyes, and couldn't guess what her aunt was thinking. When he returned to the study, he had already figured it out. After preparing his horse, leaving the mansion, and visiting Princess Shoukang's mansion, he knew very well what he was doing, and he made clear arrangements for every step in the future. Now being asked by Princess Shoukang, Gu Huiyan also thought about it, why did he do this
Lin Weixi said this kind of thing despite her illness. With Lin Weixi's temper, once she said this, there was no room for manoeuvre. Either she succeeded or she left the Yan Wangfu, and there would be no interaction in her life. Gu Huiyan has to admit that he has a good impression of this overly lively girl, and watching her make trouble, it seems that he is a lot younger in this pool of stagnant water. Asking Lin Weixi to move out of the palace and never see each other again, Gu Huiyan was inexplicably irritable. Since this was the case, there was only another way left.
Either way, very simple logic. Gu Huiyan went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. He was a soldier for half his life. He was best at making decisions, and the most decisive thing was decision-making. Lin Weixi's business is much simpler than the ever-changing battlefield. The pros and cons are clear, the organization is clear, and there is no dilemma between abandoning a team of people or abandoning the entire army. Gu Huiyan only took a short time to make a decision. .
But Gu Huiyan was not accustomed to talking too closely with others, so he just smiled and said, "Auntie can rest assured, there is no hidden misunderstanding, I know what I am doing." After speaking, Gu Huiyan was invisible. After a pause, he added another sentence: "She also knows."
Hope she knows.
Princess Shoukang looked relieved, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't find out anything here. King Yan looked at Mingli and wanted to talk, but in fact the boundaries were very strict, and she would cross the boundaries if she asked again. Shoukang changed the subject and stopped asking.
The eldest princess Shoukang was very excited today. Her only granddaughter passed away, and Shoukang regretted it with unspeakable regret. Now that Lin Weixi has appeared, Shou Kang is full of heart to hold a perfect marriage for Lin Weixi, and never let her follow Gao Xi's footsteps. After Gu Huiyan entrusted this matter to the eldest princess Shoukang, she no longer cared about it. As for the six rituals, marriage proposal and other ceremonies, what the eldest princess Shoukang said was what she said. Gu Huiyan didn't care. .
Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Huiyan got up and said goodbye. Shou Kang sent Gu Huiyan out of the main hall with a smile, and then excitedly asked the female official to open the warehouse, and she personally went to pick a dowry for Lin Weixi. Princess Shoukang's mansion was full of joy, while Prince Yan's mansion was still quiet and solemn. It had rained for a long time a few days ago, and today there is still moisture in the air. The trees in the courtyard were washed deep green by the rain, and the wind blew into the sleeves. Get a little cold.
Lin Weixi woke up for a while at noon, and then fell into a deep sleep. Her breathing was hot, her dreams were intermittent, and she slept very restlessly. The people in Jingdan Garden came and went with heavy faces, no matter whether they were true or false, at least they seemed to be very worried about Lin Weixi's condition now. Wan Xing and Wan Yue kept replacing the cold water handkerchief on Lin Weixi's forehead for a while, and it was like this until evening, when Lin Weixi's fever finally subsided.
When Lin Weixi woke up, he saw that it was dark outside the window. She lowered her head and coughed. She didn't care about drinking water, and hurriedly asked, "Has your Royal Highness Yan come down?"
"Never."
Lin Weixi gave a soft "Oh", and his heart gradually sank. She should have known, didn't she, King Yan was not stupid, how could she let her figure it out.
Wan Yue saw that Lin Weixi's face was not good, and she felt a bad premonition in her heart. She lowered her voice and added: "The prince has just returned from Princess Shoukang's mansion, and he has not been to the back house. If the girl has something to say, it is better The slaves go to the front to invite the lord?"
Before Lin Weixi could speak, he heard footsteps coming from outside. When Lin Weixi saw the person coming, he immediately sat up: "Gu Commander..."
Gu Mingda was greeted as soon as he entered Jingdan Garden. Gu Mingda is known to everyone in the King Yan's mansion. Their family has served the King Yan's mansion for generations. They followed him around when King Yan was young. Later, he was even given the royal family name "Gu", which shows his status. However, such a true cronie, who is above the inner house and outer courtyard, and even above the master and servant, is very polite to Lin Weixi. After entering the house, Gu Mingda stopped outside the screen, his eyes were lowered, and he did not look inside. He asked earnestly, "Miss Lin, are you feeling better?"
Lin Weixi asked Wan Xing to help her sit up, and she replied politely across the bed tent and screen: "Thank you, Commander Gu, for thinking about it, it's much better." Lin Weixi still couldn't hold back, turned a corner and asked, "It's King Yan. Did your Highness ask you to come and ask?"
Gu Mingda didn't answer unexpectedly, but paused for a moment, then said: "Miss Lin's condition will be better. Miss Lin will just take care of her health in the past few days. I'll take you there for a while."
Gu Mingda didn't answer whether it was King Yan. If he didn't know it was impossible, Lin Weixi almost thought it was Gu Mingda's deliberate avoidance. But if this kind of gold is given to the master, which servant will avoid it? Half-push and half-spot should be the best of both worlds, Gu Mingda's attitude is really strange. But before Lin Weixi could figure it out, he heard Gu Mingda talking about letting Lin Weixi move. Lin Weixi's attention shifted, and he frowned in confusion: "Why?"
Why at this juncture
"Why?" Gu Chengyao also looked at Gu Huiyan puzzled, "She's still in bed now, and Prince Yan's mansion can't afford it, so why should she be moved out of the mansion?"
Gu Huiyan sat on the armchair and lifted the floating leaves in the tea cup unhurriedly: "She used to have no problem staying as long as she wanted, but it is not appropriate to continue to stay in the Yanwang Mansion now."
Gu Chengyao was inexplicable, he asked without thinking, "Why is it wrong?"
Gu Huiyan put down the Yue Porcelain Blue Cup, his movements were calm and his face was the same as in countless previous battles, the victory was in his hands, and he remained motionless. But if Gu Mingda was here, he could find that Gu Huiyan's movements slowed down, and his speech paused for a few seconds longer than usual. This kind of pause is very unusual for Gu Huiyan.
When Gu Huiyan put the tea cup away, his mood had been adjusted, and he said casually, "She will marry into Prince Yan's mansion in a few days. Continuing to live in the mansion will hinder her reputation."
There was a thunderclap on the ground, and the servants serving in the study widened their eyes in astonishment, then quickly gritted their teeth, shrugged their shoulders, and bowed their heads. Gu Chengyao was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to understand what Gu Huiyan was saying: "Father, you said that Lin Weixi is going to marry into the palace? I have no brothers, this..." He suddenly came to his senses and looked at Gu Huiyan in disbelief: " Father, could it be…”
"Yes, I will marry her as a princess someday."
Gu Chengyao, who has been praised by the capital as a gentleman, even neglected his appearance. He opened his mouth and looked at Gu Huiyan in astonishment. After a while, his face sank, and he said categorically, "No."
Gu Huiyan just glanced at Gu Chengyao lightly, obviously ignoring it. Gu Mingda came in from the outside, and when he heard this, he said in a straight-forward manner: "Sir, you have overstepped."
Gu Chengyao also felt that his words were ridiculous. As a child, how could he be qualified to take care of the affairs of his elders? But how can this be done
Gu Chengyao's heart was numb. When he objected, he had no brains, and he almost blurted out. After he finished speaking, he thought about it later, why not
Because her mother, Shen Shi, said that her father and her fell in love at first sight than Jin Jian, Gu Chengyao couldn't stand his father's continued marriage in order to protect his parents' love? Or is it that the person his father wants to marry is Lin Weixi, who is younger than Gu Chengyao. He thinks it is absurd, so he opposes it, or because that person is Lin Weixi, a Lin Weixi who brings him an inexplicable sense of familiarity
The confusion in Gu Chengyao's heart only appeared for a moment, and then it was suppressed by Shen's voice and smile. Gu Huiyan has fought for many years, and he did not stay in the palace for a long time. Gu Chengyao grew up with his mother, Shen Shi. At that time, he was still living in the palace in Yandi. At that time, Princess Yan was still alive, and the old princess was very calm to Shen Shi. Shen was crying and complaining to her mother-in-law in Gu Chengyao's ear all day long. Over time, Gu Chengyao couldn't get close to her grandmother. More She stayed by her mother Shen's side.
At that time, Gu Chengyao was not too old. Mrs. Shen repeatedly told Gu Chengyao about her encounter with King Yan. King Yan rescued Mr. Shen from the chaos of the army, and the hero saved the beauty at first sight. Mrs. Shen chased her husband for thousands of miles. Later, the two of them became husband and wife. In fact, Gu Chengyao was not very interested in the words of Shen's talents and beauties, but who made that her mother, over the years, the childhood Gu Chengyao was deeply affected. Before he even realized it, he really felt that the marriage between his father and mother was a myth of love through the ages, even if Gu Huiyan stayed in the barracks all year round and did not go home, even if his grandmother, Princess Lao Yan, was very indifferent to Shen Shi.
Later, Shen Shi died of illness, and King Yan did not re-marry for many years, and everything was developing in a better place. Now this love myth is suddenly broken, and a third party is inserted in the air, how can Gu Chengyao allow it.
Gu Chengyao's face was sullen, and his voice was hard: "Father, can you be worthy of your mother by doing this? You were busy in the war a few years ago, and she was the one who managed the family business, honored her grandmother, and raised me. You continue to marry the new princess, Have you ever thought about the mother under Jiuquan?"
Gu Mingda wanted to reply, you also know that Princess Shen is already under Jiuquan. But in reality, Gu Mingda just took a step forward and said coldly, "Sir, you have overstepped."
Gu Chengyao looked at Gu Mingda, Gu Mingda did not dodge or evade, and still looked at him with the kind of businesslike and lifeless eyes. Gu Chengyao finally gave in a step, said "I'm disrespectful", turned around and left quickly.
"My lord..."
"It's okay." Gu Huiyan didn't pay any attention to the turmoil just now. He stood up and walked towards the study. The daily affairs were piled up like a mountain, and he didn't actually have a lot of free time. "He's still immature, let him go."
Gao Ran was sitting in the inner room, and when she saw Gu Chengyao rushing towards him, she hurried up to meet him: "Prince."
Seeing Gu Chengyao's face, she smiled and said softly, "Shizi, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Chengyao took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. It's just a dispute with my father."
Gao Ran was taken aback: "What quarrel, why?" Gu Chengyao and King Yan quarreled, which was not a good sign.
"Father wanted to make Lin Weixi the princess, so I said a word or two, and it happened after that."
Gao Ran actually didn't hear Gu Chengyao's next half sentence, all her mind was focused on the first few words. She stood there, her brain buzzing, and after a while, she was finally able to speak normally: "What did you say?"
