Gu Xinian was too lazy to argue with Ye Qingning and calmly withdrew his gaze.
Ye Qingning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Ye Qinglan. How was the discussion just now?
Ye Qinglan returned a look that was hard to explain. Such a complicated content cannot be expressed by blinking and raising an eyebrow. It is better to wait until they leave to talk about it.
The four of them sat for a while, chatted some nonsense, and then returned to Luomei Courtyard.
Mrs. Zheng enthusiastically left her lunch. After lunch, Gu Xiyu reluctantly followed Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xinian away. Before taking her away, she earnestly told Ye Qinglan: "When cousin Ning gets married, you can come back to make a decision."
Stay at the Duke's Mansion for a while and keep me company."
Ye Qinglan nodded cheerfully: "Okay, I will definitely go with you."
When Gu Xinian heard these words, she finally felt better. As long as she arrived at Dingguo Palace, it would be much easier to find a chance to be alone. Then she would slowly "settle" today's accounts with her.
Not too late...
After seeing off Mrs. Zheng and her party, Ye Qingning couldn't wait to drag Ye Qinglan to Huancui Pavilion to interrogate: "How are you and your cousin talking about it? Is he going to marry cousin Yue?"
Ye Qinglan's eyes were full of smiles, and her tone was unusually brisk: "Sixth Sister, we all misunderstood before. The Empress does want to marry Cousin Yue, but she doesn't want to marry Cousin Gu, but to Duke Dingguo.
Gu Yongnian from the second room."
…
Ye Qingning was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "Then weren't you angry in vain the past few days?"
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled. Not only was she angry in vain, but she was also sad for several nights. Fortunately, she was determined to break up with him, which made him furious! Now that the truth has been revealed and the misunderstanding has been clarified, her mood is just like outside
The sky is generally clear.
Ye Qingning only reacted when he saw the smile in her eyes and said with a smile: "Great, everything is just a misunderstanding. You don't have to think about leaving Cousin Gu anymore." The joy and thankfulness in her words were absolutely
Very sincere from the heart.
Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart and took Ye Qingning's hand: "No matter what, thank you for always comforting me."
Ye Qingning smiled casually: "Okay, why are you saying these polite words to me?" He paused and sighed: "I didn't expect that the Queen's idea was to let Cousin Yue marry Gu Yongnian.
No wonder my cousin didn’t look happy that day when she mentioned that the Queen was a matchmaker!"
He is also the nephew of the Empress and a direct descendant of Duke Dingguo. Gu Yongnian is far worse than Gu Xinian. Except for a face that can still be seen, Gu Yongnian is basically an embroidered pillow. Standard.
Dude. From Zhang Yuan's and Xu's perspective, how could they compare to Gu Yongnian.
However, since the Empress personally guaranteed the marriage, and specially summoned Xu and Zhang Yue to the palace, giving them such dignity, the British government had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but frown when she thought of Gu Yongnian. To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of Gu Yongnian at all. He looked pretty human-like, but unfortunately he had bad conduct. He was frivolous and dissolute, and Sun was special.
She was partial to him. He was like a little bully in Duke Dingguo's mansion. He had teased and provoked him before, but then for some reason, he stayed away from her when he saw her. Even if she lived in Duke Dingguo's house,
There is basically no chance of meeting each other in the mansion.
I really didn’t expect that Empress Gu would arrange marriage for Zhang Yue and Gu Yongnian. Two men and women with completely different temperaments who had never met before were tied together like this... I can’t help but curse this evil.
Feudal society and arranged marriage!
The relationship between Ye Qingning and Zhang Yue is relatively harmonious. The thought of Zhang Yue marrying the incompetent Gu Yongnian really makes her feel uncomfortable. However, there are always unsatisfactory things in the world, and those who are involved in them cannot escape from them. Empress Gu
The matchmaker has been personally secured, and Fengzhi will arrive at the British government soon. Everything is a foregone conclusion!
Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan looked at each other and sighed in unison.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qinglan cheered up and said: "I heard from cousin Gu that in order to appease the British government, the Queen intends to reward Gu Yongnian for his good background and find him a good official position."
Descendants of noble families can seek official positions through grace without going through the imperial examination. Since Empress Gu personally agreed, she would not treat Gu Yongnian badly.
"That's not bad." Ye Qingning cheered up a little: "Dingguo Gongfu is the queen's natal family and the prince's ancestral family. It has a prominent family and there is no other one in the capital. Cousin Yue can marry her.
Duke Dingguo’s Mansion is a good place to stay.”
Of course, even if Gu Yongnian develops his official career in the future, he will never surpass Gu Xinian. As the eldest son, Gu Xinian will definitely inherit the title of Duke Dingguo in the future. Gu Yongnian can only reach the third or fourth rank at most.
Just an official.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingning couldn't help but worry about Ye Qinglan again: "Ten sister, if I have something to say, I will tell you directly. Cousin Gu's family background and identity are here, and I am afraid that the people in Dingguo Palace will pay more attention to his marriage. Even this time
If you get through it, there will be a next time. Only when you make a marriage agreement with him can you truly feel at ease."
The key question is, how can we get the people in Dingguo Palace to nod and agree to this marriage?
"Cousin Gu told me today that he has figured out a way and asked me to just wait patiently." Speaking of Gu Xinian, Ye Qinglan's eyes sparkled unconsciously.
Although Gu Xinian did not elaborate on what his plan was, she could guess a rough idea from his words. Gu Xinian had his mind set on a marriage, so naturally he wanted to marry Empress Gu.
Put more effort into the prince. With Gu Xinian’s scheming and methods, and everything he has experienced in his previous life, he must be as powerful as a cheat in court and government affairs. If Empress Gu wants to use him to deal with the third prince, she will naturally give him
Enough benefit.
So, she waited patiently.
Although he still kept many secrets from himself, Ye Qinglan chose to believe him without hesitation in this matter.
Ye Qingning smiled enviously and said: "Since cousin Gu said so, I must be more than 80% sure. Just wait slowly." Suddenly he thought of another question: "By the way, what if you really do it in the future?"
Now that you are married to your cousin, don’t I have to call you cousin sister-in-law? No, it’s a big disadvantage for me. I’ve made a promise in advance that I won’t call you cousin sister-in-law that way in the future.”
If it were another girl, she would blush and squirm when mentioning these things. But Ye Qinglan smiled easily: "Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, we will always be good sisters, and you will always be my sixth sister."
After Ye Qingning heard this, he was finally satisfied. He smiled and pinched Ye Qinglan's smooth face: "Finally, I'm not treating you well in vain. You still have a conscience."
After having fun for a while, Ye Qinglan returned to Hefeng Courtyard.
The mood at this time was completely different from the heavy determination when he left in the morning. The smile from the corners of his eyes and brows was so relaxed and happy. The maids all noticed the change in Ye Qinglan's mood.
Although Ruixue was pushed away at that time, she vaguely guessed that Ye Qinglan's change in mood was related to Gu Xinian. Ruomei didn't know the progress of the matter, but seeing that Ye Qinglan's mood suddenly improved, she naturally guessed that the relationship between Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan was
The misunderstanding has been resolved.
Guiyuan and Ying'er were both younger, and they couldn't hold back their words. They gathered around Ye Qinglan and asked, "Did something happy happen to Miss? Why are you so happy?"
"Yes, why don't you tell the slaves and let them share in the young lady's happiness."
Ruixue glared at the two bold little maids: "You two have nothing to do? You are pestering the young lady here to talk, no matter how big or small, disturbing the young lady's purity. It is really getting more and more unruly."
Guiyuan and Ying'er were both a little afraid of her. After being scolded by her, they immediately took a few steps back and stood still.
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter and said gently: "Okay, Ruixue, don't scold them two. I'm really in a good mood today. You will know what happened in the future."
The curiosity of all the maids was aroused. Except for Ruomei and Ruixue, almost all of them were confused.
Ye Qinglan said no more, and the corners of her lips curled up with a hint of joy.
That night, Ye Qinglan received a reply from Gu Xinian.
Ruomei sneaked out quietly, and when she came back, she secretly stuffed a rolled note into Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan quickly put it into her sleeve, and waited until the maids had all left before going to bed, then put the note away.
unfolded.
The handwriting on it is very familiar, clear and elegant, it is Gu Xinian's handwriting. There is only one short line.
Be patient and give me a year.
The words are concise and concise, but concise and powerful. There is not a word of nonsense, and strong confidence is revealed between the lines. It is in line with Gu Xinian's style. Ye Qinglan recited it silently several times, and felt sweetness in her heart.
One year? She will definitely wait patiently.
Ye Qinglan carefully put the note into the purse she wore close to her body, pressed it under her pillow, and then fell asleep.
Have a good night's sleep!
The good mood lasted for a few days, and even looking at Mr. Xue was much more pleasing to the eye than before. She patiently tolerated Ye Qingfu's occasional provocations.
It's already the end of April, and there are only two short days left before Ye Qingning's wedding. Ye Yuanzhou has returned from the Imperial College, and Ye Chengli has also specially come back from Zhengzhou.
Ms. Xue was eagerly looking forward to Ye Chengli's return and specially led her children to wait at the door.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Ye Chengli got off the carriage, followed by the maid Hong Xiao.
Mrs.
Ye Chengli responded with a smile: "I should have gone faster, but because Hong Xiao was unwell, I made the carriage go slower, so I arrived half a day late."
