Three hundred and ninetieth chapters countermeasure two
Gu Xinian had long been accustomed to receiving such a note every two days. He opened it and glanced at it casually, and then his expression suddenly changed. Then, there was a trace of undoubted anger and coldness in his eyes.
This Mr. Xue is so hateful! And that Mrs. Ma is not a good person either...
And Ye Qinglan's behavior also made him very angry. This girl, every time she encountered a dilemma, she would deal with it in her own way without saying a word, without even thinking of asking him for help. If Ruomei hadn't sent him the news, he would have never even thought of asking for help.
He didn't know that something like this had happened to her. When he thought of her tormenting himself with illness, he was filled with annoyance... and felt heartbroken!
Gu Xinian stared at the thin piece of paper with a gloomy expression and pursed his lips tightly.
Quanfu, who was waiting outside, didn't hear any movement in the house after waiting for a long time. He boldly opened the door and walked in: "Master, it's getting late, so let's take a shower and rest!" Afterwards,
The voice became quieter and quieter, because Gu Xinian's eyes were as cold as ice, making people shiver just by looking at them.
Having served the young master for many years, Quan Fu is of course very aware that the young master who looks gentle is actually not very good-tempered. But there are very few people who are as gloomy and cold as this moment. Even he, a young man who is used to seeing the young master change his face, also
I feel seriously uncomfortable.
What happened?
Quan Fu's sharp eyes saw a small note in the young master's hand, and he secretly muttered in his heart. Just as he was about to take another look, he heard the young master give him a cold look: "Get out first!"
Quan Fu didn't even dare to ask any more questions, and immediately walked out obediently. He stood outside the door for another half an hour. He was still thinking about this question in his mind. What was written on the note and why?
Making the young master so angry?
Gu Xinian naturally didn't sleep well that night, but he still got up early the next day. After breakfast, he went to Queen Gu's Fengyi Palace.
Ever since Gu Xinian reconciled with the prince, it was common for him to go in and out of Fengyi Palace. When Queen Gu saw him coming, she smiled and said a few words, and then stayed with Gu Xinian for lunch. Gu Xinian did not refuse much.
He responded with a smile.
Queen Gu was a little surprised when she saw that he agreed so readily. Although Gu Xinian often came to Fengyi Palace, he rarely stayed to eat. When he did stay, it was definitely with the prince. Today, he deliberately left the prince alone.
Looking for myself...it's obvious that I have something important to discuss with myself!
Queen Gu's thoughts were racing, but her face remained calm.
After having a sumptuous and exquisite lunch, the aunt and nephew went to the side hall of Fengyi Palace to talk. Gu Xinian did not speak, but only glanced at the maid waiting at the side.
Queen Gu winked at the maids. The maids quickly retreated, leaving only one guarding the door. This maid was naturally Empress Gu's confidant, and it didn't matter even if she heard something from time to time.
Queen Gu then smiled lightly and said, "Okay, you can always say whatever you have to say now!"
Gu Xinian didn't beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Auntie, I'm here to ask you something."
Queen Gu was not surprised, but smiled meaningfully. Gu Xinian was her nephew. She naturally understood his temperament very well. It was definitely not his style to ask for help. With his style, he should be polite.
In fact, it was a veiled threat. Even to her, the queen, he never really lowered his head. Today, he opened his mouth with a plea, which made her both curious and wary.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can promise you, I will definitely nod." These words may seem generous, but in fact, they don't promise anything at all.
With Gu Xinian's city, it was impossible not to hear Queen Gu's perfunctory tone. But he seemed to hear nothing and said very sincerely: "Actually, I have asked my aunt about this matter before. At that time, my aunt I didn’t agree. I just said I would think about it. I wonder how my aunt is thinking about it now?”
Sure enough, it was about the marriage!
Queen Gu looked at Gu Xinian intently and suddenly smiled: "Xinian. I'm really curious about which woman can captivate you." Back then, even for Shen Qiuyu, Gu Xinian would I have never asked her to be my aunt.
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed and he smiled faintly: "If my aunt is curious, why not summon her into the palace and see with her own eyes?"
This was a good idea. Queen Gu was cautious by nature and did not agree immediately. She thought about it carefully and then asked: "Are you really determined to marry this woman?" Such a high-profile summons to the palace. If you come, it will definitely attract everyone's attention. People in Dingguo Palace will definitely know about it soon. How will Gu Xinian end up by then?
"Auntie, if I miss her, I will never get married again in my life." Gu Xinian looked calm and his tone was indifferent, as if he was saying "the weather is nice today".
But the more this happens, the more it means he cares.
Queen Gu had watched Gu Xinian grow up and was very aware of his awkward temperament. She was stunned for a moment, and her expression became a little subtle: "Xinian, you have to think clearly. This is your whole life. It's a big matter, don't act arbitrarily on impulse." At this moment, Queen Gu showed a trace of genuine concern.
Although the prince always comes first in her heart, Gu Xinian is also her nephew. It is impossible to say that she doesn't care at all.
Gu Xinian's answer was extremely simple: "Auntie, do you think I am that kind of impulsive person?"
...Of course not. In fact, Gu Xinian is far calmer and more rational than men of the same age. Although he is only twenty-one years old, he has a palace that is not inferior to those of those old officials who have been in the court for decades. Everything is planned out. His thoughts were so thorough and ruthless that sometimes even she was secretly frightened and grateful.
Fortunately, Gu Xinian still forgave the prince for his love-stealing behavior and returned to the prince's camp. If he was won over by the third prince, he would definitely be a serious problem...
Queen Gu kept having various thoughts flashing through her mind but did not speak.
Gu Xinian had put all his emotions in order before he came, and showed his usual calm and sharp attitude: "Auntie, most of our plan has been successful. Now His Highness the Third Prince is focused on experimenting with land tax reform. No. In half a year, he will taste the bitter consequences. You should also fulfill your promise!"
He said it very directly, and Queen Gu did not hide anything and said slowly: "It was agreed at that time that when the plan is completely successful, I will marry you. But now the plan is still going on, and no one knows what the outcome will be. How about it." In other words, she will never propose marriage until the moment of success.
"Auntie, don't you have confidence in the plan of His Royal Highness and me?" Gu Xinian deliberately added the prince, and Queen Gu's expression softened a lot. No matter how mediocre her son is, he is her only bloodline. The prince of this dynasty. As long as he can defeat the three princes and the prince successfully ascends the throne, other things really don't matter.
Queen Gu pondered for a moment and then said decisively: "Let's wait until later to talk about the marriage. However, I can call her into the palace to see her first." This was already her biggest concession!
Gu Xi Nian spent a long time talking, but what he actually wanted was this result. Just as Empress Gu knew him, he also knew the temperament of his aunt. If he wanted her to propose marriage, he must have enough benefits. Now,
The plan to deal with the third prince was only half-way through, so it would be strange if she was willing to propose marriage early.
However, as long as she is willing to call Ye Qinglan into the palace, the dilemma Ye Qinglan is facing will be easily solved.
The Queen will not summon a young girl who has not left the palace to enter the palace for no reason. The information revealed should be enough to make Xue and Ma not dare to act rashly...
Empress Gu, who had no idea that she had been tricked, asked with concern: "After talking for a long time, I still don't know which girl from the house this is!"
Thinking of Ye Qinglan, Gu Xinian's eyes softened unconsciously: "Her surname is Ye, her maiden name is Qinglan. She is the concubine of the third room of Changyuan House. She is a good friend of Yu'er."
Ye Qinglan... A vague figure flashed in Queen Gu's mind: "Did she enter the palace with Yu'er?"
"My aunt has such a good memory." Gu Xinian said with a smile: "Last year, she and Yu'er went to the palace together. I didn't expect that my aunt would still remember her."
"Of course I remember. It's hard to remember such a beautiful and beautiful girl." Empress Gu didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly laughed teasingly: "If I remember correctly, she seems to be one year younger than Yu'er.
!I never expected that you would fall in love with a young girl with yellow hair."
Compared to Gu Xinian, who entered the court at the age of twenty-one, that little girl was still a young bud. I never expected that Gu Xinian, who was so proud and proud, would be attracted by such a little girl.
It’s so addicting!
Facing Queen Gu's affectionate teasing, Gu Xinian's expression did not change, and he even said with a little pride: "When auntie sees her, she will naturally like her."
These words aroused Queen Gu's curiosity: "Okay, then I will send someone to take her into the palace in two days."
Gu Xinian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him with a smile.
Queen Gu reminded her casually: "By the way, you have to be mentally prepared first. When that girl enters the palace, I'm afraid there will be an uproar in Duke Dingguo's palace."
She had no intention of helping Gu Xinian solve these "trivial matters". Not to mention others, it would not be easy for the Sun family to pass. Ye Qinglan was of low status and was just a concubine, not worthy of being the direct grandson of Duke Dingguo.
Not to mention that Ding Guogong and his wife would react violently, even the good-tempered Gu Hong and his wife would not agree to this marriage.
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, but his indifferent tone showed strong confidence: "Don't worry, aunt, I can handle it properly."
