"It's still too early to get married." Gu Xiyan was slightly annoyed.
It sounds like she hates getting married.
Zhou Mu looked at Gu Xiyan and asked, "If you want to marry me early, then we can advance the wedding to December this year. It's still possible. I'll just go and tell His Majesty."
Yes, she doesn't know his true identity yet, he should find a chance to make it clear to her.
As soon as he said this, the old lady immediately looked at Wan Qinghou, her eyes full of doubts.
His Majesty's golden words set the wedding date, but Zhou Mu can change it if he wants? It's simply outrageous!
Wan Qinghou gave the old lady a comforting look, and then asked Zhou Mu: "Since Mr. Zhou said that we can get married in advance, let's see if Sister Xi wants to get married in advance."
Gu Xiyan blushed again: "The wedding date has been set, it will be February next year. Your Majesty has set the date. If you can't change it tomorrow, let's just February."
What's more, she didn't hate getting married, Zhou Mu said it as if she couldn't wait to marry him.
"I listen to Xi Yan, she can marry whenever she wants." Zhou Mu looked like he would follow Gu Xiyan's wishes in everything.
Hearing this, Gu Xiyan joked: "Then if I don't marry, will you agree?"
Zhou Mu suddenly darkened his face and exuded a cold and gloomy aura: "This is not okay! You are my unmarried wife, you have to marry me even if you don't want to marry me!"
Gu Xiyan was not surprised at all by his answer.
But she didn't expect that a man like Zhou Mu, who didn't know the fireworks of the world, would actually be possessive.
She actually made a mistake in her previous life.
Wan Qinghou answered with a smile: "Sister Xi, it's just a naughty joke. Master Zhou, please don't take it seriously."
"Seeing as you are a foreigner, we should call him more affectionate and not call him "piao"." The old lady reminded at the side.
Marquis Wan Qing did not dare to call Zhou Mu by his first name. This was His Highness, and he did not dare to have casual friendships.
"Old madam, it's up to you." Zhou Mu had no worries in this regard.
Gu Xiyan sat there for a while, feeling that it was not interesting, so she simply left and returned to Xiyuan.
Zhou Mu and Marquis Wan Qing discussed it for an hour before leaving the Marquis' mansion.
As soon as Zhou Mu left, Wan Qinghou followed the old lady to Zaohui Hall.
After Marquis Wanqing dismissed all his servants, including Cigu, the old lady knew that what her son was about to say was something important.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"This matter has not been announced yet. My son wants his mother to know it. Not even Ci Gu can talk about it." Wan Qinghou said sternly.
The old lady sat upright and replied solemnly: "I know the seriousness, just tell me."
"Master Zhou is your Majesty's eldest son." Wan Qinghou deliberately lowered his voice.
The old lady was shocked: "How is it possible?"
The eldest son, isn't that the eldest son of the queen? But today, His Majesty only has one posthumously named Queen Shun Gong. Queen Shun Gong died twenty years ago, and the child born to Queen Shun Gong...
The old lady's breath tightened, and she suddenly understood Zhou Mu's true identity.
"Master Zhou, is he the child born to Empress Shun Gong?" the old lady was almost silent.
Marquis Wan Qing nodded: "Exactly. As long as mother knows about this, it must not be spread out. Judging from the current progress, His Majesty will announce the true identity of His Highness sooner or later, but not now, we cannot spread this matter.
"
The old lady knew that the matter was of great importance, and nodded repeatedly: "I won't tell anyone if I can save it, and my aunt will also hide it."
She had actually called His Highness by his first name before. No wonder her son had such an expression at that time.
This is His Highness, she is being disrespectful to His Highness.
"Your Majesty loves His Highness very much. Sister Xi is blessed to have His Highness love her so much." Marquis Wan Qing sighed lightly, "It's a pity that we have treated Sister Xi poorly over the years."
The old lady recalled what her son had said to her recently, and suddenly understood something. Shuming felt that His Highness had a greater chance of ascending to that position.
Yes, as long as His Highness's true identity is revealed, there is no doubt that the position of Crown Prince will fall into His hands.
After all, the Crown Prince has established his direct descendants, and His Highness has not only occupied the direct descendants but also the elders?
Then is His Highness the King of Qin no longer destined to be the king?
She immediately understood Shuming's sigh just now, and when she thought about her indifference to Xiyuan over the years, she felt extremely regretful.
"It's all my fault. I'm in charge of the family affairs and I never treated Sister Xi kindly. If I had known that she would be like this..."
"If my mother's words were heard by Sister Xi, I'm afraid she would be heartbroken." Marquis Wan Qing interrupted the old lady.
Doesn’t the mother’s words mean that Sister Xi will be treated kindly only if she has value?
The old lady kept silent, knowing that her son's words were reasonable.
"Not only the mother, but also the other four girls of the Liu family, they all have ill intentions towards Sister Xi——" Speaking of this, Wan Qinghou suddenly felt that the future of the Liu family was not bright.
The Liu family is full of malice towards Sister Xi. Why does Sister Xi repay evil with kindness?
Now I just hope that the situation will not get worse.
The atmosphere in Zaohui Hall was a bit heavy, but the atmosphere in Xiyuan was beaming with joy, and I felt proud.
When Gu Xiyan woke up from her nap, she saw that the three people served by Xiyuan were all smiling, except for the word "hi" written on their faces.
"I'm not married yet, and all of you are so happy?" Gu Xiyan just stood up, and Qiushi came up to help her change clothes.
Chunhua came in with a happy face: "The old lady specially ordered Ci Gu to send a lot of good things. She also said that it was almost the end of the year and she would buy new clothes for the girl. She also said that Xiyuan was too simple and she wanted to send new furniture. After so many years,
When has Xiyuan been so valued?"
The smile on Gu Xiyan's face faded: "So you are happy about this."
Qiushi observed the girl's words and expressions and saw the change in the girl's mood: "Is the girl unhappy?"
"What's so happy about it? It's just for Mr. Zhou's sake that I made such a change."
It wasn't because she was taken seriously. The old lady might have acted like this because she knew Zhou Mu's identity. What's there to be happy about?
"After all, it's a good thing that the old lady values girls." Qiushi said calmly.
"If I had never met Mr. Zhou, would I still have no sense of existence in this family?" Gu Xiyan asked in a low voice.
"Of course not! If she had never met the young master, the girl might have left the Hou's Mansion. If she had left the Hou's Mansion, the girl would have lived a good life," Qiushi replied seriously.
There was a hint of gloom between Gu Xiyan's brows and eyes: "You are wrong. Even if I successfully leave the Hou Mansion, without the help of Mr. Zhou, I may still be imprisoned by King Qin."
Even though she wants to make herself stronger, the fact is before her eyes. Before absolute power, she is like an ant, and Zhou Xing can crush her to death with just one kick.
In the final analysis, she is not strong enough or cautious enough.
Qiushi thought of the day when she was taken away by Zhou Xing, and felt full of regret: "It's all my fault, it's my fault that caused the girl to suffer."
——
The female goose will start her career next, and the confrontation between Mu Xi and his wife and Zhou Xing has just begun.
