This had never happened in her previous life, and Bai Xinyi wrote to her in the past two days. Although it has not spread outside, and even the Gu family has no news, it is no longer a secret among the upper-class families.
The legitimate daughter of the King of Jin fell in love with Crown Prince Yongning, and the Queen Mother wanted to be a matchmaker.
Only then did Gu Mingyue understand the reason why the palace sent people to the Gu family that day. However, the Xue family and their daughter had not shown up since they came back from the palace. I am afraid they had not met a good end.
She was also a queen in her previous life. Although she had only been in the palace for a short time, she knew how terrible the methods used to manage people in the palace were.
I had no impression of Shen Ying at first, but now I have a good impression of her. Isn't the enemy of my enemy my friend? The person who can make Gu Mingmou suffer such a big loss is worth getting to know.
"What did you say?" After hearing the news, Gu Mingxin was not as happy as Gu Mingyue.
Her only thought was that if Qi Lang was engaged to Gu Mingmou, she might never have the chance to meet Qi Lang again. Although she hated Gu Mingmou, she had to say that at least there was another advantage: by following her, Qi Lang could take another look at her.
How could Gu Mingxin hide this little thought from Gu Mingyue? She smiled sarcastically, turned around and left with her maid.
Gu Mingxin was her dog in her previous life. Under her planning, she successfully took Gu Mingmou's place and married Qi Lang. It's a pity that she didn't understand at all. Qi Lang never paid attention to her from beginning to end. That man had gone crazy for Gu Mingmou. It was Gu Mingmou's misfortune to fall in love with such a man.
It was just a coincidence that Gu Mingyue met them, but it did not prevent her from taking advantage of Gu Mingxin.
As Gu Mingyue expected, when she learned that Qi Lang and Gu Mingmou's marriage had changed, Gu Mingxin immediately went back to Aunt Liu and told her everything she had heard. Aunt Liu was a little impatient at first, but she suddenly sat up straight when she heard that the person who was attracted to Qi Lang was the legitimate daughter of King Jin.
"Where did you hear the news?" Aunt Liu held her daughter's wrist, looking a little excited.
"Gu Mingyue said it. Auntie, do you think she is lying to me?"
Aunt Liu frowned, then relaxed, "Probably not."
Although she hated Aunt Ning for hurting her and hated Gu Mingyue very much, Gu Mingyue was quite capable. Although she didn’t know what her intentions were when she said this.
The words should not be nonsense.
"Auntie, do you think this marriage is really not possible?"
Aunt Liu rolled her eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said slowly: "Whether it succeeds or not, this is what Madam needs to care about."
Obviously, she didn't see the worry in her daughter's heart and was just gloating about her misfortune. Mr. Xue had always looked aloof, but now he was finally falling into the mud.
Originally, Mr. Xue was not bad to her, and it was thanks to Mr. Xue that she was able to return home again. It's just that which concubine would like the main wife? At first, there was just Aunt Ning blocking the front, and later Aunt Zhang came out. Now there are only two women left in Gu Yong's backyard. Aunt Liu thought she could finally get ahead again, but she didn't expect Mrs. Xue to come back from Zhuangzi.
The only thing Xue deserves praise for is that she arranged a good marriage for her daughter-in-law. Once the marriage was successful, the situation of the eldest family would also change.
The days are passing by, and it is obviously early autumn, but it is getting hotter and hotter outside, and the cicadas are chirping, making people more and more anxious and angry. The Gu family's life has been very difficult recently, or Gu Yong's life has been difficult.
The position that had been confirmed was suddenly replaced by someone else, and those who had been in charge of it all retorted, and their errands in the yamen were obstructed at every turn. It wasn't until a colleague secretly reminded him that he realized that he had offended someone.
Gu Yong has always been a well-rounded person, never doing anything wrong, and has an excellent reputation in the yamen. However, recently, the only person he can be said to have offended is Prince Jin's Mansion.
Gu Yong also agreed with his wife's rejection of the Queen Mother's proposal to not allow her eldest daughter to participate in next year's draft. However, his reasons were different from Xue's. Xue was only thinking about Gu Mingmou's future and wanted her to find a husband who would be her husband and not be like him in the future.
However, Gu Yong was not optimistic about Prince Heng. Even though Prince Heng was highly regarded by the Holy Emperor at the moment, he could not tell what would happen in the future.
Prince Heng went to the battlefield in his early years, and his reputation was the worst among the princes. His mother and concubine died young, and he did not occupy the legitimate heirs. The errands he received were offensive. In the future, when the emperor is gone, the new emperor will be the first one. He would take action on him. In his eyes, such a prince was worse than Yongninghou Crown Prince.
Of course, compared to the one who was not yet born in the imperial concubine's belly, Gu Yong's preferred crown prince was actually the third prince.
If the Queen Mother had mentioned that Gu Mingmou should be the third prince's concubine, maybe Gu Yong would have agreed to it.
Think about it now
It's all useless. The King of Jin shamelessly embarrassed him, a mere fourth-rank official, probably not just for the sake of marriage.
Gu Yong hurried back after getting off the Yamen. When the sedan arrived at the Zhuque Bridge, he was stopped by someone.
The person blocking the sedan chair was a young man, wearing an ice silk brocade robe, holding a folding fan, and a Pisces pendant hanging around his waist. The smooth mutton-fat white jade looked a bit dazzling in the sun.
"Who dares to stop the official sedan?" There were thousands of guards chasing him away, but seeing that the young master was dressed in a rich or noble attire, he felt a little nervous. In this capital, the most indispensable thing is noble people. Who knows who you meet on the road that you can't afford to offend.
"I'm just sending an invitation to Mr. Gu."
The guard frowned as the young man took out a gold-red post. He glanced at the man warily, held the handle of the knife in one hand, turned around and went to the sedan, talked for a while, and then handed the post in.
After a while, the guard came back, and his attitude was much more restrained. "I'd like to ask you, sir, to come over. My lord said that he will definitely attend the appointment on time."
"In this case, Xie will be waiting for your arrival."
Until he returned to the house and entered the study room, Gu Yong still didn't put down the post in his hand.
This post came from the third prince. Although he didn't know the relationship between Mr. Xie and the third prince, the third prince's private seal couldn't be faked.
Gu Yong thought he had some intelligence, but he shouldn't be able to alert the prince. The other party suddenly came to his door. Could it be related to Prince Jin
Anyway, you'll know when you meet the person.
"Gu Tong, how are you doing, madam?" Gu Yong put the post aside and casually asked the steward standing aside with his hands down.
"Master Qi, my wife has been doing well recently. It is said that she drank the medicine prescribed by the miracle doctor introduced by Prince Qi."
"Oh... what about Tongtong, does she always go out?" Gu Yong did not interfere with his wife's decision to hand over the management of the shop to his daughter, but he still felt a little bit about the fact that his daughter, a daughter of a boudoir, always likes to take the opportunity to go out. unsatisfied.
I have always wanted to remind them, but their father and daughter met too rarely. In the past, they could still see each other when they went to greet Old Mrs. Gu. Now that Old Mrs. Gu is in poor health and does not like to see people, their father and daughter Even more so, we may not be able to see each other for ten days and a half.
"The eldest lady hasn't been out recently. The last time Prince Qi came over, he didn't show up. Maybe he was in a bad mood."
"Nonsense!"
