Hearing his father Gu Yan roaring at the top of his lungs, telling himself to get out of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, Gu Tingye smiled indifferently, and then left in a dashing way.
Seeing that Gu Tingye had really left, the fourth and fifth bedrooms of the Gu family quickly stood up and tried to persuade him to stay, but they didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look at their eldest brother Gu Yankai with resentful eyes.
"Brother, why is this necessary?
Finally, Tingye wants to look back. Can we discuss it slowly?
You just drove Ting Ye away like this, what a big deal!"
"Hmph! Can you agree to the conditions just mentioned by this villain?
Is there anything to discuss!
Fourth child, fifth child, don’t forget!
Now it is a public request from the British, requiring our Gu family to put Gu Tingye's name back in the family tree, otherwise they will not agree to such a marriage!
You don’t really think that Gu Tingye, the evildoer, is not impatient, do you?” Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai said disapprovingly, he was sure that Gu Tingye would come back to beg him.
"Huh? Being able to marry the only daughter of a British noble family is indeed what Gu Tingye wishes for.
But with Tingye’s bad temper, he won’t come back to beg us!”
"Humph! Then let him do whatever he wants!
I finally figured it out, even if I brought evil back to the family tree.
From now on, he won’t be willing to interfere with our Gu family’s affairs!”
Xiao Qin on the side felt very happy when she saw Gu Yankai and Gu Tingye, who had a tense relationship between father and son.
She has been acting all her life, making everyone around her unable to distinguish between truth and fiction. Only she knows best in her heart what she wants.
Although she proposed that Gu Tingye marry the only daughter of a British family, it only created a gap between Gu Tingye and the Sheng family.
Xiao Qin didn't care at all as to whether he could really marry the daughter of a British official, let alone put Gu Tingye's name back in the family tree.
This evil person, Gu Tingye, actually imagined writing the Bai family's life history on the Gu family's genealogy, claiming to give an explanation to the Bai family, but Xiao Qin family could not accept it.
She believed that doing so was an insult to her sister Da Qin, her Xiao Qin, and even the entire Qin family.
But looking at what Gu Yankai meant just now, he showed an indifferent attitude towards the matter, which made Xiao Qin feel a little uncomfortable.
...
Gu Tingye left the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis and did not return to the mansion given by the emperor. Instead, he went directly to the palace to see His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I am very grateful to you for your concern about my marriage!"
But it is really difficult for me to resolve the request made by the British Lord!"
"What? Did Ning Yuanhou come down without his consent?" The new emperor Zhao Zongquan showed a puzzled expression.
"My father Gu Yankai did agree.
But today when our father and son were negotiating, the negotiation collapsed!
Therefore, I have decided to open a mansion and set up an ancestral hall independently, completely isolating myself from the Gu family of Ningyuan Marquis.
I hope your majesty can make it happen!" Gu Tingye explained without hesitation.
"This... Marquis Changsheng, why bother?
With the connections and support from Ningyuan Marquis Gu’s family in the military, Marquis Changsheng’s future career will be able to get twice the result with half the effort!”
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!
It’s just my family matter, so it’s better to let me solve it by myself!”
"Hey! In this case, I won't ask about this matter anymore!
As for the British public request, I will go to negotiate.
Marquis Changsheng is just waiting to get married!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
...
Since returning to Tokyo Prefecture this time, the Sheng family is no longer the small and small family it used to be. The number of people who come to the Sheng family every day to establish relationships and talk about marriage has almost crossed the threshold.
The marriage between the second son Sheng Changbai and the Hai family has already been accelerated. With the help of the new emperor Zhao Zongquan, the British duke also agreed to the marriage with Gu Tingye, and the Sheng family has to follow suit.
Because there is currently no eldest lady in the Sheng family to deal with such matters, the old lady needs to personally intervene, which makes the old lady feel a little powerless.
As a result, the marriage between Sheng Hong and Shen Ruyue of the Shen family seemed imminent. After discussing it with the Shen family, the process was expedited.
The news that Gu Tingye was going to marry the only daughter of a British royal family completely made the noble officials in Tokyo laugh.
They all lamented Sheng Hong's "stealing the chicken but losing the rice", and they all thought about the joke of Gu Tingye and Sheng Hong's breakup.
Unexpectedly, before the joke was over, they suddenly saw Sheng Hong marrying the daughter of the Shen family as their eldest wife. This completely shocked everyone in Tokyo. Even the new emperor Zhao Zong in the palace showed a surprised expression.
"Your Majesty, I think our in-laws, Sheng Hong, don't take Your Majesty seriously?
Such a big thing was kept secret!" Concubine Liu looked at the unhappy new emperor Zhao Zongquan and suddenly said to sow discord.
"Haha, my beloved concubine is too worried!
The position of eldest daughter of the Sheng family has been vacant for many years!
It really should be solved!
This is also my fault, I should have helped Sheng Aiqing resolve this matter earlier!" Although the new emperor Zhao Zongquan was very unhappy, his years of scheming still made him say something he didn't care about.
"That means His Majesty is magnanimous!
However, this Sheng Hong's power in the court is still too great!
The concubine heard that Sheng Hong had already started making plans in order to win people's hearts.
"Sheng's Library" is designed to win over the hearts of scholars all over the world!"
"Nonsense! Sheng Aiqing is so sincere towards Da Zhou, how can my beloved concubine be so suspicious?" The new emperor Zhao Zongquan looked at Concubine Liu in front of him with reproachful eyes.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!" Seeing that the new emperor Zhao Zongquan was angry, Concubine Liu quickly knelt down and apologized.
"Okay, my concubine is leaving! I'm tired too!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
Concubine Liu Guifei left the new emperor Zhao Zongquan and did not return to her palace. Instead, she went straight to the Queen Mother.
"Concubine Liu Guifei, the Ai family will tell you something.
Have you told His Majesty?"
"Queen Mother, this is why I am here!
Your Majesty was very angry with my concubine because of this matter just now.
It seems that His Majesty is very unhappy about the harem interfering in politics!"
"Haha, Concubine Liu, the more His Majesty reprimands you, the more it means that he is afraid of Sheng Hong's power!
Just wait and see, this thorn has been buried in His Majesty's heart!
Your Majesty will take action soon!" the Queen Mother said with a disapproving smile.
"Ah? Queen Mother, what do you think Your Majesty will do?"
"Haha, the Ai family doesn't know either!
But the Ai family is also very curious about the new emperor’s methods!”
"Huh? Queen Mother, Sheng Hong is about to get married. What attitude should we take?"
"Haha, Sheng Hong's wings have become full, and it will be difficult for His Majesty to solve the problem even if he wants to do something!
If we can get closer to Sheng Hong while there is a gap between the new emperor and Sheng Hong, it will be very helpful for our future affairs!"
"Ah? Probably not!
Sheng Hong's daughter is Princess Huan, how come she favors us?" Concubine Liu showed a puzzled expression.
"Haha, this is one-sided knowledge of yours!
In the face of interests, what does my daughter mean?" The Queen Mother shook her head disapprovingly and said with a smile.
