Chapter 45: There are girls growing up
After Yun Xuan left the camp, he was blown by the cold wind at night, and his head was a little awake.
Although he is now a prince, his situation is not good. His biological mother has passed away, and 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 has now is his crown prince status.
In order to prevent the prince from being too powerful, the father threatened his position. When choosing a wife, he tried his best to avoid the nobles who were in power in Beijing, and instead chose the daughter of Dinghai Bo's family.
What a shrewd person Princess Pinghu is, with just a little check, you can find out who the Crown Princess is? It's not even his daughter-in-law, and everything that his daughter-in-law does stupidly will be tied to his head.
Now that it is impossible to hide it, as long as he apologizes first, Yun Xuan let out a long sigh and walked towards Princess Pinghu's tent with heavy steps.
Princess Pinghu heard the rumor that the prince was coming, and couldn't help but feel a trace of displeasure in her heart, but she still invited Yun Xuan in with patience and grace.
As soon as Yunxuan came in, he gave Princess Pinghu a deep bow, "Aunt Huang, nephew is here to plead guilty for the Crown Princess."
Princess Pinghu raised her eyebrows slightly. She gave left and right glances, and she was accompanied by her confidants. All the wise men withdrew. Princess Pinghu just got up and walked over, and helped Yun Xuan up, "His Royal Highness is making trouble." She said lightly.
"If my aunt is angry, just put her anger on her nephew alone." Yun Xuan still bent over and refused to stand up straight, "My nephew is not good at discipline, and the Crown Princess has done something she shouldn't do."
"Forget it." Princess Pinghu smiled lightly and patted Yun Xuan on the shoulder. "His Royal Highness insisted on saluting, but it was difficult for aunt to do it. You are all aunt's juniors, and the princess is still young, so it doesn't matter if you have a strong will to win."
"Then aunt is willing to forgive nephew?" The prince raised his head slightly and looked at Princess Pinghu.
"Family." Princess Pinghu pressed the anger in her heart. After all, she was standing in front of not only her nephew, but also the prince of the Daqi Dynasty, who was likely to become the future emperor of Daqi. She was angry again. , Seeing that the prince came to apologize in such a low voice, how could he really do something. Not just count.
Seeing that Princess Pinghu's face had softened, Yun Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Auntie, after returning to Beijing, Guzi will punish the Crown Princess."
Princess Pinghu looked at her nephew with her beautiful eyes for a long time, and then slowly said, "That's fine," she waved her sleeves, "If it's getting late today, you should go back and rest early. As for Your Crown Princess, since she is in this position, she has to do something commensurate with her position. Fortunately, no human life has been caused this time. Otherwise, even if she is the Crown Princess, she will be punished, and even she will be thin. It's taking away your face. You have to discipline yourself properly."
"Yes, yes. What Huang aunt taught is." Yun Xuan was also annoyed at the bottom of his heart. He already had a lot of things, and there was a group of people outside who were staring at him, eagerly waiting for him to make some mistakes, so as to impeach him. He, fortunately, Gu Yuqi was fine, and fortunately that Princess Pinghu concealed it well, otherwise this matter would be a big trouble, who knows what will happen in the future.
"Tell me to tell you, you have been married for several years, and the crown princess has nothing to do. Should you consider accepting the concubine or something?" Princess Pinghu looked at Yunxuan with a burning gaze, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, no queen. Great. Your royal father also wants to see his children and grandchildren full."
Yunxuan's back was looked at by Princess Pinghu's coolness. Yes, after three years, he didn't even have an heir to inherit. If any of the other brothers gave birth to a smart child, and won the favor of the father and the emperor, How can this be good...
He gave the Li family three years, and it could be considered that he had done his best.
"Then according to my aunt, my nephew should..." Yun Xuan didn't finish what he was going to say, and Princess Pinghu naturally knew what he meant. If he wanted to accept the concubine side, it would be impossible for Princess Pinghu to give the crown to His Royal Highness. , and the prince is asking for her opinion at this moment, obviously he wants to win over her and let her stand on his side in the future.
This Yun Xuan really planned to do so.
Princess Pinghu has no children. Among the elders, she is a person who prefers and protects the younger generation, and her status is placed there. Even the father emperor respects the princess Pinghu, and her words are also on the father's side. a certain amount. If you can draw Princess Pinghu over, it will naturally help a lot.
Not to mention, Yun Xuan really made the right move in this move. First, he came over to apologize, and then asked Princess Pinghu to give him a reference. It was really right to Princess Pinghu's appetite.
She likes her nephews, and she has no children of her own, so she is always eager to try their hand at their marriage, but in the end it is her brother who is the emperor who actually decides. She can't be the master of the candidate for the Concubine Zheng, but she may not have said that for this Concubine.
Princess Pinghu really thought about her nephew seriously, she even forgot that she was in a hurry to drive him away just now, so she took the prince's hand and walked to the chair and sat down.
"According to your father's intention, relatives cannot be powerful." Princess Pinghu analyzed, "But you are the crown prince. Except for the daughters of noble families, there are really few daughters who are worthy of your honor." She Pulling to and fro, but really thought of a person. "Auntie 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 daughter-in-law for you."
Yun Xuan's thoughts moved, and a petite figure appeared in front of him, "Could it be that the aunt said... the lady of the Gu family?" He asked in a voiceless voice.
"That's right. It's her. There's nothing to say about the child's appearance. You've seen it before. In a few years, she'll be a great beauty. She was born in Dingyuan Hou's mansion and is the eldest daughter. As a new noble, Marquis Dingyuan doesn't have the twists and turns of an aristocratic family, but didn't you realize that her mother's mother family is Jiangnan Liang. Anyway, they are a century-old family, but they have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, which is not very attractive. Attention." Princess Pinghu smiled.
Yun Xuan's heart moved, indeed, this noble daughter of the dynasty can meet the requirements of the father and the emperor, and the one with the best conditions at present is Gu Yuqi.
Even Gu Huaizhong is a fierce general. If he can stand on his side, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have any real power now. As long as you give him 50,000 troops, I am afraid that if you can win him in battle, there is really no one else in the DPRK.
It's good to have something to say, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!
If the most capable general in the DPRK is drawn by his side, will he be worried that he will not be able to take that position in the future?
"Miss Gu is only ten years old this year." Yun Xuan still poured a basin of cold water on himself for Princess Pinghu.
When Princess Pinghu heard it, she laughed, "Then you're only eighteen years old. Can't you wait for her in three or four years? Besides, there is only one position for the Crown Princess, but the Concubine Side can have two."
As soon as Yun Xuan heard this, his face gradually turned into a smile. He was born with a picturesque face and a noble temperament. This smile was like a spring breeze blowing through, and thousands of flowers were blooming.
"Thank you aunt for your suggestion." It's just three or four years. He has waited for ten years, so why don't he think about other people in these three or four years. Gu Yuqi is the best candidate. And she also has the name of a child prodigy. If the child comes from her belly, it may be another child child prodigy. Why can't he win the favor of the father and emperor at that time.
He has already given Li's three years, so he will give her another three or four years. If she still can't have children, even if she takes the concubine herself, she will only lose a good reputation. (
With such a happy decision, Yun Xuan got up and gave Princess Pinghu a long bow to the end, and then retired.
The Winter Hunting Festival came to an end, but the names of Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu spread in the circle of honorable people in the capital, and even Gu Huaizhong became a big celebrity in the court.
There is no way he can't be popular. His wife Pegasus rescued the British lady, and her daughter shines brightly. Not only did he help His Royal Highness King Jing solve the assassination case at the inn, but he also found clues for the British prince to murder his wife. The most important thing is that, as the daughter of the marquis, she was able to hunt with your Majesty's favorite Princess Jingcheng, and even the accident was obtained by His Majesty's word. Special guard escorted.
What kind of glory is this, looking at the entire capital, who else can compare?
Even Zhang Wanyi couldn't help being jealous of Gu Yuqi in private, and she broke a few handkerchiefs, but she was also secretly glad that she chose to help Gu Yuqi when she was in the eldest princess' mansion. I gave something to Gu Yuqi to show her compliments. This means that in the future, she can send messages to Gu Yuqi in an open and honest way, 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, Gu Huaizhong's salutations on his house were the same as snowflakes every day, and Gu Huaizhong's mouth couldn't close.
When Liu Yue waited for Gu Huaizhong to return, she found out that even her Majesty was disturbed by Gu Yuqi's trip out, and Princess Pinghu personally sent someone to **** her back. When she thought of what she said in front of Liang's that day, she wanted to dig a place for herself. Sew first to get in and hide. She was so stupid that she thought that Liang's and Gu Yuqi's return to the mansion first made the Hou Ye unhappy.
Even her children were chatting in front of her about Gu Yuqi and Liang's deeds. She was laughing on the surface, but she almost bit her back molars with hatred in her heart.
This mother-daughter **** luck is so good! Now the most popular in the capital are their mother and daughter, and I am afraid that my plan will be put on hold for the time being. If she makes any move now, Gu Yuqi's mother and daughter have some kind of damage, it will definitely attract attention, and maybe it will also alarm Your Majesty and the Princess Pinghu. If these two people intervene, the paper will not be able to contain the fire. I am afraid that even if the plan is successful, she is doomed.
She is the one who wants to be the mistress of the house, so she can only endure it any longer. She has endured it for ten years, and she doesn't care if she waits a little longer. Discuss Hong Ping blood.
After Liu Yue figured it out, she immediately brought her two children to greet the Liang family every day, and secretly urged Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu to have more contact with the Liang family to win her favor.
Although Gu Siyang was a bit awkward, after all, the first relative he saw after he was taken away by the wicked was the Liang family, so he unconsciously developed a bit of dependence on the Liang family. Gu Siyu was even more so, living with Gu Yuqi. After a few days, I worshipped this sister as a god, and naturally regarded Liang as my own mother.
Although Liang's family didn't like Gu Siyang and Gu Siyu at first, they got along and felt that the two of them were still good children. After all, it was their mother who had a grudge against her, and the child was innocent, as long as they didn't follow Liu's family to give birth to something in the future. What kind of crooked thoughts, Liang is still willing to let the two children get close to her. This also fell into Gu Yuqi's arms.
Under the care of Imperial Physician Ning, her toxin was finally emptied on the fifth day after returning to the residence. After so many days in a drowsy state, Gu Yuqi felt that she was finally full of blood and revived.
Conflict with the Liu family is inevitable in the future. Gu Yuqi just hopes that her younger brother and 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 also come over by themselves to ask Anhe to visit her in the future. Yes, he simply took time out to guide Gu Siyang's homework and teach Gu Siyu's reading and writing when he was free.
Gu Siyang was originally reluctant to let this eldest sister who used to suffer for her teach her homework, but Gu Yuqi made a clever move. She transmigrated once and was reborn once. Gu Siyang listened to Gu Yuqi's intentional or unintentional disclosure of information here, and took it to the academy to say that it turned out to be stunned by other arrogant children in the academy. Even the doctor of the Guozijian and the sacrificial wine looked at Gu Siyang with admiration. After going back and forth, Gu Siyang tasted it. The taste of being valued by others is slowly being willing to let Gu Yuqi guide him one or two times.
Gu Yuqi took the opportunity to instill in him some sense of justice and ambition from time to time. Although Gu Siyang, the little brat, is young now, he has a feeling of being in 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.
Princess Pinghu said before that she would give Liang's explanation, and she still kept her promise. Although she did not secretly change who the mastermind behind Gu Yuqi's Sweet Soup was with Liang's words, she just let Liang see. Just after the New Year's Pass, the Crown Princess Li was banned for three months because she contradicted His Royal Highness at the Prince's Mansion.
Only then did Mrs. Liang realize that it turned out that it was Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess who replaced Gu Yuqi's sweet soup.
This made Liang stunned and scared. She didn't know what her daughter did to provoke His Royal Highness. It was not until the prince came to the door and apologized secretly after the year. Only then did Liang realize that the woman almost lost her life because of this. Several princes set up a bet on a whim, which made Liang mad. However, the crown prince had already come to the door to apologize, and she couldn't say anything, but she really hated King Jing and Yun Ke. The crown prince also kept an eye on it, and did not tell Princess Pinghu, but only said that Yun Yi proposed, he couldn't bear to brush Yun Yi's nature, and only participated in a moment of confusion. Unexpectedly, he almost hurt Gu Yuqi.
With such a sincere apology from the prince, Liang's brain is not burned, so naturally he will not publicize this kind of thing. Her own daughter has become a bet with others. It's not good to hear this kind of thing spread out, but it will damage her daughter's reputation, so Liang's also asked the prince not to mention it in the future, even Gu Yuqi has to hide it. This is right in the arms of the prince.
The prince took the opportunity to chat with Gu Huaizhong for a long time, and even invited him to the Prince's Mansion as a guest.
Liang's grievances towards the crown prince were less, but the anger towards Yun Yi and Yun Ke increased. The crown princes came to apologize, but a king Jing and a seventh prince did not move, and they sincerely refused to treat her. Baby girl's life is at stake.
During this period of time, Yun Yi did something that made His Majesty the Emperor very satisfied. He had previously captured the assassin in the inn, but after returning to Beijing, he found the mastermind behind it was King Ding Shan of Rouran. King Ding Shan is also an ambitious guy. He actually wanted to use this matter to provoke the war between Rouran and Daqi again, and then he was fishing in troubled waters.
His Majesty was furious when he learned the truth of this matter, and sent an envoy to Rouran. King Rouran lost to Daqi, so he naturally didn't want to fight, so he comforted the envoy for a while, and then cut off King Dingshan's rank, and then again. After losing a lot of things to Da Qi, this calmed His Majesty's anger.
For this reason, King Jing and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince received a lot of rewards from His Majesty, and even Gu Yuqi also received rewards from His Majesty, which made Gu Yuqi, who had been diluted by the atmosphere of the New Year, reappear in front of everyone.
Gu Yuqi's reputation is so great that there are even Xungui's family who have been attacking Gu Huaizhong, asking if Gu Yuqi has promised others.
Gu Yuqi's prices were soaring, and many people were angry. Although Zhang Wanyi and Liu Yue didn't talk about it, even Yun Ke was angry.
Now, as long as he is with Yun Yi, he will hear him mention Gu Yuqi. Every day he listens to it, his ears are almost full of cocoons. Rao is because he is naturally cold and alienated, and sometimes there is a bit of anger in his eyes. .
When the Rouran affair stabilized, Yun Ke's marriage was rumored in the palace.
The person Yun Ke wanted to marry was unexpectedly unexpected by everyone. After the Winter Hunting Festival, everyone thought that Yun Ke would settle for Gu Yuqi, whom he took out in person, but they did not expect that His Majesty suggested him to marry the second direct descendant of the Murong family. Miss, Murong Lingyan.
For a while, Gu Yuqi was pushed to the forefront again. Someone vividly described how Yun Ke was in a hurry at the Winter Hunting Festival and how he drove Gu Yuqi out of the woods by himself. It is said that men and women are not intimate, and Gu Yuqi has been hugged by Yun Ke. Although she is young now, after all, she is stained with stains. How will she meet people in the future? Everyone knows that such news spreads on the streets and alleys of the capital.
But now Yun Ke has decided not to Gu Yuqi but Murong Lingyan, how will this talented girl Gu Yuqi meet people in the future? Even the family of the lords, who had tried Gu Huaizhong's tone before and was rejected by Gu Huaizhong, felt schadenfreude. Even your daughter, Jin Gui, was held by His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince even if she had been defiled. After that, you still take Joe like that. Even if you nod your head in your arms, 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 excitement in their eyes.
When Yun Yi learned about these rumors, he was furious. He dropped something in the study for the first time, and sent someone out to investigate. Who the **** spread these rumors.
Yun Ke stood aside and looked at the debris on the ground, a faint light flashed across his downcast eyes.
He ordered people to spread the rumors secretly. At that time, Princess Pinghu's hunting grounds were all controlled by Princess Pinghu's personal guards. Those who could approach the hunting grounds were all people selected by Princess Pinghu herself. They were all reliable, and rumors would naturally not come from them. out of the mouth.
Yun Ke looked at Yun Yi's rare irritable appearance, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't even know that his good brother was so obsessed with Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi's reputation is damaged, so naturally it is impossible to marry Yun Yi as the main concubine. Even other people who want to ask to marry Gu Yuqi have to take these factors into consideration.
Gu Yuqi belonged to him in the past life, and this life will be no exception. Does she want to escape from his grasp? Yun Ke only gave her two words, "Haha".
In the last life, she would come when she said it, and she would die when she said she would die. How could she ever ask him if he would like it or not? In this life, can she just say escape and escape?
Even if he Yunke falls into **** in the future, he will still drag Gu Yuqi along.
Yun Ke does everything flawlessly. Yun Yi sent people to investigate the source of those rumors. After several months of investigation, he could not find any clues at all. It was not that he had no doubts about Yun Ke, but every time he tried Yun Ke, he felt that this was the case. This kind of thing can't be done by my cold brother.
Therefore, the rumors not only did not weaken due to Yun Yi's intervention, but intensified. Even the restaurants and teahouses took this as a secret of the royal family and nobles. There are even good people who have 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 Liu Shi was overjoyed, so he could not wait to dance with joy.
When Zhang Wanyi learned about this, she laughed and almost couldn't straighten her back. She already regarded Gu Yuqi as her number one rival, but she didn't expect her boudoir reputation to be damaged. How could such a woman compete with her.
Liang Shi was also anxious, but Gu Yuqi was sitting on the Diaoyutai with the appearance of an old god.
Although she doesn't know who the person who spread the rumors is, she can say that if she knows, I'm afraid she will thank him!
She didn't want to marry, let alone marry into the royal family, so it could be considered quiet.
A little bit of time passed. In the winter of the second year of Gu Yuqi's rebirth, Yun Ke got married and was named Prince An. In the spring of the fourth year, there was a good news from the Prince An's residence, and of course a bad news. .
Princess An, Murong Lingyan, had a bad child. The imperial doctor said that she could not give birth to an offspring, but she did not believe in evil and insisted on leaving a descendant for Wang Yunke. Princess An died of bleeding during childbirth, leaving a child behind. healthy boy.
Prince An's mansion was put on plain white. At this time, Gu Yuqi was fourteen years old, and her beauty was beginning to bloom, and she became a slim girl.
