After Yun Xuan got out of the tent, he was blown by the cold wind at night, and his head became a little clearer.
Although he is the crown prince now, his situation is not good. His biological mother has passed away, and although the current queen is also on his side. But after all, he is not his own blood relative, and he may be abandoned at any time. The only thing he occupies now is his crown prince status.
In order to prevent the crown prince from being too powerful and threatening his position. When choosing a wife, he also tried to avoid those dignitaries who held power in Beijing, but chose the daughter of the Haibo family.
What a shrewd person Princess Pinghu is, she only needs to do a little research to find out who the Crown Princess is. Who does the Crown Princess belong to? If it's not his daughter-in-law, all the stupid things his own wife does will be pinned on his head.
Now it is impossible to hide the truth, as long as he apologizes first, Yun Xuan sighed, and walked towards Princess Pinghu's tent with heavy steps.
When Princess Pinghu heard that it was the prince who came in from outside, she couldn't help but feel displeasure in her heart, but she still invited Yun Xuan in patiently and kindly.
As soon as Yun Xuan came in, he gave Princess Pinghu a deep bow, "Aunt Huang, my nephew is here to plead guilty for the Crown Princess."
Princess Pinghu raised her eyebrows slightly. She gave the left and right a look, and the people on the left and right were her confidantes. All those who were interested withdrew. Only then did Princess Pinghu get up and walk over, helping Yun Xuan up, "Your Highness, what's going on?" She said calmly.
"If my aunt is angry, she can just vent her anger on my nephew alone." Yun Xuan was still bent over, refusing to stand up straight, "My nephew is not good at discipline, the princess did something she shouldn't do."
"Forget it." Princess Pinghu smiled faintly, and patted Yun Xuan on the shoulder. "His Royal Highness insists on saluting, but it's difficult for my aunt. You are all my aunt's juniors, and the princess is still young, so it doesn't matter if you have a strong desire to win."
"Then aunt is willing to forgive my nephew?" The prince slightly raised his head and looked at Princess Pinghu.
"One family." Princess Pinghu suppressed the anger in her heart. After all, standing in front of her was not only her nephew, but also the current prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, who was very likely to become the future Emperor of Great Qi. No matter how angry she was Seeing the prince coming to make amends in such a low voice, how could he really do anything. It's not just a matter of calculation.
Seeing that Princess Pinghu's expression softened, Yunxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, aunt, after returning to Beijing, Guzi will punish the princess."
Princess Pinghu stared at her nephew with her beautiful eyes for a while, and then said slowly, "That's good," she waved her sleeves, "It's getting late, go back and rest early. As for Your princess, since she is in this position, she has to do something commensurate with this position. Fortunately, no one was killed this time. Otherwise, even if she is a princess, she will be punished, and she will be punished. It hurt your face. You have to discipline yourself properly."
"Yes, yes, yes. Aunt Huang taught you the lesson." Yun Xuan was also annoyed in his heart, he had already had a lot of things to do, and there was a group of people outside watching him, hoping that he would make some mistakes so that he could be impeached. He, fortunately, Gu Yuqi was fine, and also fortunately, Princess Pinghu kept it a secret, otherwise this matter would have become a big mess, and who knows what will happen in the future.
"Tell me, you've been married for several years, and the crown princess has nothing to offer. Shouldn't you be thinking about accepting a side concubine or something?" Princess Pinghu looked at Yun Xuan with burning eyes, "There are three ways to be unfilial. It’s big. Your father also hopes to see his own children and grandchildren in the house.”
Princess Pinghu looked at Yunxuan's back coldly. Yes, it has been three years and he doesn't even have an heir to inherit. What if the other brothers give birth to a clever child who wins the favor of the emperor? How can this be good...
He gave Li Shi three years, which is considered as the best of benevolence.
"According to my aunt, my nephew should..." Yunxuan didn't finish what he wanted to say, Princess Pinghu naturally knew what he meant, if she wanted to accept a side concubine, it would not be Princess Pinghu's turn to decide for His Highness the Prince. , and the prince is asking for her opinion at this moment, obviously to win her over and let her stand by his side in the future.
This Yun Xuan really planned it that way.
Princess Pinghu has no heirs. Among the elders, she is a person who prefers and protects the younger generation. Moreover, her status is over there. Even her father respects Princess Pinghu very much. A certain amount. If Princess Pinghu can be brought over, it will naturally help a lot.
Not to mention, Yun Xuan really made the right move. First, he came over and apologized, and then asked Princess Pinghu to give him a reference. It was really right for Princess Pinghu.
She likes her nephews, and she has no children, so she is always eager to try their marriage, but in fact, it is her younger brother who is the emperor who decides in the end. As for the choice of the main concubine, she can't make the decision, but she may not just say nothing about the side concubine.
Princess Pinghu really thought about her nephew seriously, she even forgot about driving him away just now, she just took the prince's hand and walked to the chair and sat down.
"According to your father's wishes, your relatives cannot be strong." Princess Pinghu analyzed, "But you are a prince, and apart from the daughters of aristocratic families, there are really very few honorable daughters who are worthy of you." She said After pawing around, I really thought of someone. "My aunt thought of a candidate, but unfortunately she is still too young. But with her future appearance, her family background really meets the conditions for your father to choose a wife for you."
With a thought in Yun Xuan's mind, a petite figure appeared in front of his eyes, "Auntie is talking about... Miss Gu's family?" He asked in a voice.
"That's right. It's her. The child's appearance is nothing to say. You have seen it. In a few years, she must be a great beauty. She was born in Dingyuanhou's mansion, and she is the eldest daughter. Marquis Dingyuan is an upstart, without the twists and turns of a family, but haven't you noticed that her mother's mother's family is the Jiangnan Liang family. Anyway, it is a century-old family, but it has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, so it is not very attractive Pay attention." Princess Pinghu laughed.
Yun Xuan's heart skipped a beat, indeed, among the honorable daughters of the Manchu Dynasty, the one who can meet the requirements of her father is Gu Yuqi who has the best conditions at present.
Even Gu Huaizhong is a fierce general, if he can stand on his side, it doesn't matter even if he has no real power in his hands now, he has strength! As long as you give him 50,000 troops, I'm afraid that if he can win the war, the court really can't find anyone else.
There is a good saying, a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!
If the most capable general in the DPRK was drawn by his side, would he still worry about not being able to take that position in the future
"Miss Gu is only ten years old this year." Yun Xuan still poured cold water on Princess Hepinghu.
When Princess Pinghu heard this, she laughed, "Then you are only eighteen years old. Can't you wait for her for three or four years? Besides, there is only one crown princess, but two side concubines can be appointed."
Hearing this, Yun Xuan gradually smiled with color on his face. He already had a picturesque appearance and a noble temperament. This smile was like a spring breeze blowing and thousands of flowers blooming.
"Thank you, aunt, for the reminder." But it's only three or four years, he's been here for ten years, why not be afraid in these three or four years, as for the others, he doesn't think about it anymore, Gu Yuqi is the best candidate. Moreover, she is also known as a child prodigy and talented girl. If the offspring comes from her belly, it may be another child prodigy. Then why not win the favor of the emperor.
He has already given Li Shi three years, so he will give her another three or four years. At that time, if she still can't bear a child, even if she accepts a side concubine, she will only gain a good reputation. (
With such a happy decision, Yun Xuan stood up and bowed to Princess Pinghu to the end, and then left.
The Winter Hunting Festival has come to an end, but the names of Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu have spread among the elite circles in the capital, and even Gu Huaizhong has become a big celebrity in the court.
He has no choice but to be popular. His wife, Pegasus, rescued the Duke of England, and his daughter shined brilliantly. Not only did he help His Royal Highness King Jing solve the assassination case at the inn, but she also found a clue for the Duke of England to murder his wife. , the most important thing is that, as the daughter of the Marquis, she was able to hunt with His Majesty's favorite Princess Jingcheng. The pro-guard made a special trip to escort.
What an honor this is, looking at the entire capital, who else can compare with it
Even Zhang Wanyi couldn't help being jealous of Gu Yuqi in private, and she tore up a few handkerchiefs, but she also secretly rejoiced that she chose to help Gu Yuqi when she was in the Princess's Mansion, and later when she was hunting. She gave Gu Yuqi something to show her favor. This means that she can send posts to Gu Yuqi openly in the future, and get in touch with her a lot.
If Zhang Wanyi's careful thoughts were told to Gu Yuqi now, Gu Yuqi would probably vomit to death.
When everyone returned to the capital, the greeting cards on Gu Huaizhong's mansion were like snowflakes every day, and Gu Huaizhong's mouth could hardly be closed due to joy.
Liu Yue waited for Gu Huaizhong to come back, only to find out that Gu Yuqi even surprised His Majesty when she went out, and Princess Pinghu personally sent someone to escort her back. Thinking of what she said in front of Mrs. Liang that day, she wished she could dig a field by herself. Get in and hide first. How stupid she was to think that Mrs. Liang and Gu Yuqi went back to the house first to offend Master Hou.
Even her two sons and daughters were talking about Gu Yuqi and Liang's deeds in front of her. She was smiling on the surface, but in her heart she almost gnawed her back molars with hatred.
The shit luck of this mother and daughter is really good! Now the most popular people in the capital are their mother and daughter, and I am afraid that my plan will be put on hold for a while. If she makes a move now, if Gu Yuqi's mother and daughter are injured in any way, it will definitely attract attention, and maybe it will alarm His Majesty and that Princess Pinghu. I'm afraid that even if the plan is successful, she will be doomed.
She wanted to be the mistress of the house, so she could only endure it. She had endured it for ten years, and she didn't care about waiting a little longer. Seek Hong Ping's blood.
After Liu Yue figured it out, she immediately took her two children to greet Liang Shi every day, and secretly told Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu to have more contact with Liang Shi to win her favor.
Although Gu Siyang was a bit awkward, after all, the first relative he saw after he was captured by the wicked was Mrs. Liang, so he unconsciously felt a little dependent on Mrs. Liang, especially Gu Siyu, who lived with Gu Yuqi. After a few days, worshiping this elder sister like a god, he naturally regarded Mrs. Liang as his own mother.
Although Mrs. Liang didn't like Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu at first, after getting along with her, she felt that they were still good children. After all, it was their mother who had the grievances against her. Children are innocent, as long as they don't give birth to Mrs. Liu in the future. What crooked thoughts, Liang is still willing to let the two children get close to her. This also fell into Gu Yuqi's hands.
Under the care of Imperial Physician Ning, her toxins were finally emptied on the fifth day after returning to the mansion. After these drowsy days, Gu Yuqi felt that she was finally revived on the spot full of blood.
It is inevitable to have conflicts with the Liu family in the future. Gu Yuqi just hopes that her younger brother and younger sister will not be too biased towards her biological mother in the future. She is also very happy to see that Gu Siyu and Gu Siyang will come to greet and visit her by herself now. Yes, simply take time out to guide Gu Siyang's homework when he is free, and teach Gu Siyu how to read and write.
Gu Siyang was originally unwilling to let this elder sister who had given him a hard time to teach her homework, but Gu Yuqi tricked her into a trick. She traveled once and was reborn once. She is simply a cheating existence. Gu Siyang listened to Gu Yuqi's intentional or unintentional disclosure of information here, and took it to the academy to talk about it, and it turned out to suppress the other bear children in the academy. Even the doctor and Jijiu of the Imperial College looked at Gu Siyang with admiration. After going back and forth, Gu Siyang tasted The taste of being valued by others gradually made him willing to let Gu Yuqi guide him a little bit.
Gu Yuqi took the opportunity to instill in him a little bit of righteous emotion and ambition from time to time, and the brat Gu Siyang, although young now, has a feeling of caring about the world.
Seeing that Gu Yuqi taught Gu Siyang so well, Gu Huaizhong liked it very much.
In this way, after more than a month, the end of the year is approaching.
Before Princess Pinghu said that she would give an explanation to Mrs. Liang, she still kept her promise. Although she did not tell Mrs. Liang who was the mastermind behind Gu Yuqi's sweet soup, she just let Mrs. Liang watch. Just after the New Year's Eve, Crown Princess Li was banned for three months for contradicting His Royal Highness in the Prince's Mansion.
Only then did Liang suddenly realize that it was Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess who replaced Gu Yuqi's sweet soup.
This made Mrs. Liang startled and frightened. She didn't know what her daughter had done to provoke Her Highness the Crown Princess. It wasn't until the year later that the crown prince came to the door in person and apologized secretly. Only then did Liang know that the woman almost lost her life because of this. Several princes made a bet on a whim, which made Mrs. Liang very angry. However, the prince had already come to apologize in person, so she couldn't say anything, but she really blamed Prince Jing and Yun Ke. The prince also kept a secret in his mind, he didn't tell Princess Pinghu, he just said that Yunyi suggested, he couldn't bear to brush off Yunyi's nature, he only participated in a moment of confusion, unexpectedly almost hurt Gu Yuqi.
The crown prince apologized so sincerely, Liang's mind was not on fire, so naturally he would not publicize such a thing. Her own daughter has become someone else's bet, and it's not good to hear such things spread out, because it will damage her daughter's reputation, so Liang also asked the crown prince not to mention this matter in the future, even Gu Yuqi would keep it a secret. This is exactly in the hands of the prince.
The prince took the opportunity to chat with Gu Huaizhong for a long time, and invited him to visit the prince's mansion.
Liang's resentment towards the prince has decreased, but the resentment towards Yun Yi and Yun Ke has increased. The princes have come to apologize, but King Jing and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince have not moved for a long time, and they sincerely do not want her My precious daughter's life is my life.
During this period of time, Yun Yi did something that satisfied His Majesty the Emperor. He caught the assassin in the inn earlier, but after returning to Beijing, he found out that the mastermind behind it was Dingshan King of Rouran. King Dingshan is also an ambitious guy, he actually wants to use this incident to provoke a war between Rouran and Daqi again, and then he is fishing in troubled waters.
His Majesty became furious when he learned the truth of this matter, and sent envoys to Rouran. King Rouran lost to Daqi, so naturally he did not want to fight, so he appeased the envoys for a while. After paying a lot of things to Daqi, His Majesty's anger was calmed down.
For this reason, Prince Jing and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince received many rewards from His Majesty, and even Gu Yuqi also received rewards from His Majesty. This made Gu Yuqi, who had been diluted by the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, reappear in front of everyone.
Gu Yuqi's reputation was so great that some honorable family had even slapped Gu Huaizhong on the sidelines, asking if Gu Yuqi had agreed to her.
Gu Yuqi's market was soaring, and many people were angry. Zhang Wanyi and Liu Yue didn't talk about it, but even Yun Ke was not angry.
Now as long as he is with Yunyi, he will hear him mention Gu Yuqi. He listens to it every day, and his ears are almost full of cocoons. Rao is born cold and alienated, and sometimes there is a little anger in his eyes. .
When the matter of Rouran stabilized, news of Yun Ke's marriage was reported in the palace.
The person Yun Ke was going to marry unexpectedly surprised everyone. After the Winter Hunting Festival, everyone thought that Yun Ke was going to marry Gu Yuqi, whom he personally carried out, but they didn't expect that the person His Majesty proposed to marry him was actually the second-in-law of the Murong family. Miss, Murong Lingyan.
All of a sudden, Gu Yuqi was pushed to the cusp again. Someone vividly described how Yun Ke was so impatient at the Winter Hunting Festival at that time, and how he drove the horse alone to carry Gu Yuqi out of the woods. It is said that men and women are not intimate, and Gu Yuqi has been hugged by Yunke. Although she is not very old now, she is stained after all. How will she see people in the future? Such news spreads in the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone knows it.
But now Yunke actually chose Murong Lingyan instead of Gu Yuqi. How will this talented girl, Gu Yuqi, meet people in the future? Even the lord's family, who tried Gu Huaizhong's tone before and was rejected by Gu Huaizhong, took pleasure in other's misfortunes. As for your daughter Jin Gui, she was embraced by His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince without checking if she had been polluted by others. After that, if you still take Joe like that, even if you nod in Gu Huaizhong, your family will not ask to be your daughter-in-law!
Even Gu Huaizhong felt that the courtiers looked at him with a bit of interest in watching the excitement.
When Yun Yi heard about these rumors, she was furious, dropped something in the study for the first time, and sent someone out to investigate who spread these rumors.
Yun Ke stood aside and looked at the fragments on the ground, a faint light flashed in his lowered eyes.
He ordered people to spread the rumors secretly. At that time, Princess Pinghu's hunting grounds were all handled by Princess Pinghu's personal guards, and those who could get close to the hunting grounds were selected by Princess Pinghu herself. They were all reliable, and the rumors would naturally not come from them. out of the mouth.
Yun Ke looked at Yun Yi's rarely irritable appearance, and couldn't help but sneered at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't even know that his good brother cared so much about Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi's reputation is damaged, so it is naturally impossible to marry Yunyi as the main concubine. Even other people who want to marry Gu Yuqi have to take these factors into consideration.
Gu Yuqi belonged to him in her previous life, and she will be no exception in this life. She wants to escape from his palm? Yun Ke only sent her two words, "hehe".
In her previous life, she came when she said she would come, and died when she said she wanted to die, so why did she ever ask him if he was willing or not? In this life, can she just say escape and escape
Even if Yun Ke is in hell in the future, he will still bring Gu Yuqi along.
Yun Ke was impeccable in his work, and Yun Yi sent people to investigate the source of those rumors. After several months of investigation, they couldn't find any clues at all. It's not that he didn't suspect Yun Ke, but every time he tried Yun Ke, he felt that this This kind of thing can't be done by his cold brother.
Therefore, the rumors not only did not weaken because of Yunyi's intervention, but intensified, even restaurants and teahouses took this matter as a secret of the royal family and nobles. What's more, people with good deeds even made up an excerpt to sing.
Dingyuan Hou's Mansion was hit hard, Gu Huaizhong originally thought that Gu Yuqi had found the way to the sky, but he didn't expect that the summit would turn around, but the Liu family was overjoyed, so he wanted to dance happily.
When Zhang Wanyi learned about this, she laughed so hard that she almost couldn't stand up. She had already regarded Gu Yuqi as her number one rival, but she never thought that her reputation would be damaged. How could such a woman compete with her.
Mrs. Liang was also in a hurry, but Gu Yuqi looked like an old god, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Although she didn't know who the person spreading the rumors was, she could say that if she found out, she would thank him!
She didn't want to marry at all, let alone marry into the royal family, so it was considered quiet.
Time passed by little by little, and in the winter of the second year of Gu Yuqi's rebirth, Yun Ke got married and was named King An. In the spring of the fourth year, there was a good news from Prince An's mansion, and of course there was also a bad news. .
Concubine An Murong Lingyan herself was not good. The imperial doctors said that she could not give birth to children, but she did not believe in evil and insisted on leaving offspring for Wang Yunke. Concubine An bled and died during childbirth, leaving behind a healthy boy.
Prince An's mansion was hung with plain white. At this time, Gu Yuqi was already fourteen years old, and she had just blossomed into a slim girl.
