A lot of things will indeed happen when you enter the palace this time.
There are differences between men and women, so it is inconvenient for him to stay with Yu'er all the time. The one who can stay with Yu'er all the time and has the wit to resolve the crisis for her is none other than Ye Qinglan. Therefore, he deliberately bowed his head to show weakness and tricked Ye Qinglan into the house.
.The main purpose is to enter the palace this time...
Ye Qinglan had already seen his dark and deep side. At this time, he acted very calmly. He even smiled slightly and asked politely: "Cousin Gu, does he have anything else to say? If not,
, I’ll go back and rest.”
Even though he said that, he didn't move. It was clear that he wanted to use this move to force Gu Xinian to tell the truth - if not all, at least part of it.
After a moment of stalemate, Gu Xinian finally gave in: "When entering the palace this time, my aunt will summon Yu'er alone. She will also quietly arrange for her to meet the legitimate son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion."
Zhongyong Hou Mansion? Ye Qinglan was confused after hearing this.
It has not been half a year since she traveled here, and she has been wandering around the house all day long. She doesn't know much about the noble families in the capital. What she knows so far is that Changyuan Boye Mansion, Dingguo Gongfu, Zheng Guogong Mansion, Yinggong Mansion, and
There is only the Cui Mansion. What is going on with the Zhongyong Hou Mansion?
However, Gu Xinian's words have already revealed a very important piece of information. Empress Gu seems to intend to marry Gu Xiyu to the legitimate son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion...
Sure enough, Gu Xinian continued calmly: "The name of the Zhongyong Marquis is Shen Ming. At that time, he was just a general, and he made great contributions in the southern and northern wars. The emperor specially commended him and made him the hereditary Zhongyong Marquis. It's worthy of him.
He is called the leader of the military generals of this dynasty. This man has outstanding martial arts. He is rough and arrogant by nature, but he is both rough and fine and loyal. He is highly valued by the emperor."
It is natural for Empress Gu to actively woo such a powerful figure with military power. Logically speaking, Gu Xiyu, the legitimate son of Marquis Zhongyong, is barely qualified, but Gu Xinian rejected her so decisively...
"Is there anything wrong with the legitimate son of Zhongyong Hou Shen Ming?" Ye Qinglan asked tentatively.
Talking to smart people saves effort.
Gu Xinian thought this in his heart, but refused to praise him even a word. He continued: "Shen Ming has been fighting abroad, and his knees are empty. It was not until he was forty that he had a son, named Shen Chang'an. It means peace and success.
It's a pity that things went against expectations. This Shen Chang'an has been restless since he was a child. He is reckless and impulsive, shows off his courage and fights fiercely, and is uneducated and incompetent. In anger, Shen Ming sent him to the army to become a little centurion.
I want to test his temper..."
As a result, Shen Changan's temperament became calmer, but he was injured in a battle. Moreover, the scar happened to be on his face. After the originally handsome face became disfigured, the noble
The female family members would lament and sigh a few words when Shen Changan was mentioned. They sympathized with each other, but no one was willing to marry their precious daughter to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Shen Changan became an older unmarried young man.
"How old is he this year?" Ye Qinglan interjected curiously.
Women are women, and they always care about these trivial details. Gu Xinian replied a little impatiently: "I'm twenty."
Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows, then pursed her lips and smiled, with a trace of teasing flashing in her eyes.
Fortunately, he had the nerve to despise someone else for being an older, unmarried young man, and he didn't even think about himself. Isn't he already twenty this year?
Gu Xinian has always been able to keep his composure. Ye Qinglan's little teasing and ridicule did not anger him. He just felt a little inexplicable unhappy in his heart, but for some reason, an unexpected sentence suddenly blurted out: "I got married when I was seventeen in my previous life." I regretted it as soon as I said it.
Everything that happened in his previous life was just his painful memory. The moment he woke up from rebirth, he made up his mind to hide this secret forever in his heart and never let anyone know about it. In the past four years, he has indeed done it This point. Even if he is as close as his parents and sister, he has not revealed a word.
But what's going on now? How could he talk about this to a girl who is almost a stranger?
Gu Xi Nian's momentary gaffe and annoyance were all caught in Ye Qinglan's eyes, and his mind started spinning rapidly. Gu Xi was married when he was seventeen years old in his previous life. That woman could never be Shen Qiuyu. So who could it be? ?Why does he refuse to marry again in this life?
Ye Qinglan's curiosity had almost reached its peak. Unfortunately, Gu Xinian had quickly returned to normal, and it was obvious that he would never continue the topic just now.
Forget it, I'll try it slowly when I have the opportunity in the future. The most important thing now is to understand what will happen when I enter the palace in half a month.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and asked directly: "Later, did cousin Xiyu marry this Shen Chang'an?"
Gu Xinian smiled coldly: "Of course it's impossible." With him here, how could it be possible for his precious sister to marry such a vulgar and disfigured warrior?
"I don't understand what Cousin Gu said." Ye Qinglan asked sharply: "Since Cousin Xiyu will never marry Shen Changan, why are you so nervous?"
Gu Xinian said expressionlessly: "Although Yu'er didn't marry him, he never gave up on her, and even threatened everywhere that he wouldn't marry her unless she was her. Yu'er was originally introverted and timid, and later she even couldn't even leave the house. He refused. He never got married until he was nineteen years old!"
Nineteen years old? Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed and she caught another sensitive word. She was thoughtful and good at reasoning. Gu Xinian's unintentional words made her immediately have a long series of speculations.
Gu Xiyu never got married in her previous life until she was nineteen years old... What will be Gu Xiyu's fate after the age of nineteen? Is she married, or...
Ye Qinglan, who is immersed in reasoning, has bright starry eyes and a sparkling pretty face. She is completely different from the low-key girl who usually puts on a show.
Perhaps, this is her true face!
Gu Xinian thought calmly and opened his mouth to say: "My aunt wants Yu'er to marry Shen Chang'an, so she will take advantage of this opportunity for Yu'er to enter the palace and deliberately arrange for the two of them to meet by chance. What you have to do is, Just stay with Yu'er all the time and don't let Yu'er be alone." Even if Shen Chang'an appears again, with Ye Qinglan by his side, Yu'er will not be frightened like in her previous life.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Ye Qinglan no longer refused and nodded readily.
Gu Xinian was still worried and warned: "If you really meet Shen Chang'an, you should try your best to protect Yu'er and don't let that reckless warrior scare Yu'er."
After hearing this, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt a little funny, and teased unkindly: "Yes, yes, as soon as he appears, I will stand in front of cousin Xiyu."
In his heart, other women besides his sister are irrelevant! He was only worried about whether Gu Xiyu would be frightened, but didn't he think that she was also a delicate woman?
Gu Xinian was silent for a rare moment. However, he quickly reacted and promised lightly: "As long as you can protect Yu'er's safety, I will naturally help you once in the future."
Ye Qinglan's eyes suddenly lit up: "A gentleman's words!"
"It's hard to chase a horse!" Gu Xinian quickly responded.
"Deal!" Ye Qinglan's eyes were shining brightly and her smile was sweet and moving. She secretly thought in her heart that such a good opportunity should not be wasted in vain. It must be used at the most critical moment in the future!
Gu Xinian seemed to see what Ye Qinglan was thinking, twitching the corners of his lips and turning towards Gu Xiyu. Ye Qinglan automatically kept a distance of more than two meters from him.
Gu Xiyu's feet were weak as she stood. Finally, when the two of them finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you talk for so long?"
"It's nothing." Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan spoke at the same time to comfort Gu Xiyu, then glanced at each other without any trace, and said nothing.
This tacit understanding is so good! Gu Xiyu blinked and suddenly smiled: "It's getting late, we're going back to Lengyue Pavilion. Brother, you should also have a good rest."
Gu Xinian looked at Gu Xiyu with gentle eyes: "Okay, Yu'er also has a good rest. You have to learn the rules from Grandma Rong tomorrow, so don't tire yourself too much."
Gu Xiyu smiled and nodded.
After returning to Lengyue Pavilion, Ye Qinglan briefly freshened up and put on soft middle clothes. Then she sat on the edge of the bed and carefully sorted out the conversation with Gu Xinian tonight from beginning to end.
Queen Gu wanted to marry Gu Xiyu to Shen Chang'an, naturally because of the prince's consideration. The third prince was becoming more and more popular, and his holy love was strong, and he seemed to be overshadowing the prince. Queen Gu was worried, so she wanted to win over the generals in the court for the prince.
Zhongyong Hou Shen Ming is naturally the best candidate. Marriage has always been the best way to form alliances and win over.
However, this Empress Gu was too unkind. She knew that Shen Changan was a vulgar martial artist who was seven years older than Gu Xiyu and was disfigured. She was not a good match anyway. She actually betrothed Gu Xiyu to Shen Changan.
idea.
It is conceivable that if Empress Gu had told Madam Zheng about this matter, Madam Zheng would never have agreed to this marriage based on her love for Gu Xiyu. Therefore, Empress Gu would specifically take the opportunity of the birthday banquet to let Gu Xiyu enter the palace.
Then quietly arranged for Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu to meet.
Not to mention whether the two can fall in love with each other at first sight, as long as they create a chance for the two to be alone, Gu Xiyu's reputation as a best friend will be gone. When the time comes, Empress Gu will come forward to talk about it, and the marriage will naturally be done.
Now. When Gu Xiyu marries into the Shen Mansion, the prince will have another strength to support him. It will be enough to suppress the third prince's limelight!
Queen Gu really had a good idea. However, Shen Changan in the previous life failed to fulfill his wish. Now that Gu Xinian, who knows everything well, is here in this life, the possibility of success is even smaller.
Although she hasn't met the famous Queen Gu yet, she already has no good impression of this Queen Gu just based on this incident...
Just as I was thinking about it, the door was pushed open with a creak. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
