Sure enough, when Marquis Wan Qing heard that it was Gu Xiyan's marriage, he immediately woke up and said, "Your mother doesn't need to worry about this matter. Sister Xi's marriage is her own decision."
Today, His Majesty said some heart-wrenching words to him, just because he was worried that His Highness is over 20 years old but has not yet gotten married.
During this period, His Majesty also mentioned Sister Xi, saying that Sister Xi had outstanding appearance and gentle temperament, and was destined to be with His Highness.
When he heard this, his heart beat faster, but he could only pretend to be confused and laugh at the sidelines.
If it wasn't because of his own sentimentality, it would be because His Majesty fell in love with Sister Xi to be His Highness's Crown Princess.
Although I don’t know when His Majesty will announce His Highness’s identity, and I don’t know when His Highness will be crowned king. But when the time comes, it is still possible for His Highness to compete for the position of Crown Prince.
With His Majesty’s love for His Highness, as long as His Highness is willing, the position of Prince is within His reach.
Under this premise, how dare he let Mr. Gu have the idea of Sister Xi's marriage unless he wants to bring down the entire Liu family.
"But no lady of the house decides on her own marriage. The eldest sister is not young anymore, the second sister will get married next year, and I am still discussing the marriage. Only the eldest sister is left behind. Wouldn't it make the world think that we, the Marquis, are being treated badly?
"Big sister" Liu Junyan was angry after hearing this, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
"The opinions of outsiders are not important. What is important is what Sister Xi thinks. That's all, go and talk to your mother for your father's sake." Wan Qinghou was afraid that little Gu would do something bad, so he went to Manfang Garden.
Liu Junyan quickly followed.
Manfang Garden.
Little Gu didn't expect Marquis Wan Qing to come suddenly. In recent years, Marquis Wan Qing would only come to Manfang Garden during the day unless something happened.
Of course this time is no exception.
"What's the matter?" Little Gu asked nonchalantly, unable to put on a good face.
Liu Junyan knew that her parents were not on good terms, and she had always been attracted to her mother. If her father had not been so affectionate, her mother would not be like this.
Therefore, her requirement when choosing a husband was that he could not take concubines.
When she first met Xu Yanqing, she was fascinated by his face. Later, she learned that he was already eighteen years old and there was no one with a living room in the house. Her heart fell on Xu Yanqing.
The point where you won’t marry.
"Don't worry about Sister Xi's marriage." Wan Qinghou went straight to the point.
Little Gu's face changed slightly: "I raised her, so my marriage will naturally be decided by me. I'm already helping her look for a partner..."
"Let me say it again, Sister Xi's marriage is her own decision. His Majesty has issued a decree and prepared a group of marriage partners for Sister Xi!" Marquis Wan Qing interrupted little Gu impatiently.<
/p>
Little Gu was still struggling: "But Xiyan said, she has made it clear to Xu San——"
"Are you unable to understand, or are you pretending not to understand that His Majesty has prepared many lists for dating? Even if Xu San was excluded by Sister Xi, there are still other young talents waiting for Sister Xi to choose!" Wan Qinghou
Speaking of this, he said meaningfully: "After all, Sister Xi is also my sister-in-law's biological daughter. You are my sister-in-law, so you should think more about the sisterly relationship between you and your sister-in-law. Don't do too much in some things.
When doing things as a human being, you should leave an extra layer of caution."
It was the first time that little Gu heard Wan Qinghou call the late Gu as sister-in-law instead of calling her sister. The meaning of this made her think deeply.
Wan Qinghou looked at Liu Junyan again and said sincerely: "Junyan, you are already fifteen, and you have reached a sensible age. As a father, I don't ask you to get closer to Sister Xi, but you can't embarrass Sister Xi everywhere.
It’s hard to tell how people will fare. You may not know which day your eldest sister will pass you by and fly onto a branch.”
His daughter is arrogant, has a temperament like little Gu, and has not been taught well by little Gu, so she always makes things difficult for Sister Xi.
But Sister Xi’s future is definitely bright. Even if she doesn’t marry His Highness in the end, Your Highness will definitely protect Sister Xi.
Your Majesty loves His Highness, the house and the bird, and has a high regard for Sister Xi.
In addition, His Highness the King of Qin is also obsessed with Sister Xi, and Sister Xi herself is very independent. No matter who she follows in the future, her future is immeasurable.
On the contrary, the Liu family has few men, and each generation is inferior to the last. All his hopes are now placed on Brother Shun, but it is a pity that Brother Shun is still young.
What will happen to the Hou Mansion in the future depends on Sister Xi's face.
But these women in the Hou Mansion all regard Sister Xi as their enemies. If one day they really offend Sister Xi severely, and Sister Xi becomes a decent person again, then it will be the women of the Liu family who will look at Sister Xi.
Act.
Marquis Wan Qing was worried about something. He knew that Mr. Gu was not a worry-free person, so he went to Zaohui Hall again.
"But what did your Majesty say to you?" The old lady asked in a low voice when she saw Wan Qinghou's gloomy face.
Marquis Wan Qing sighed: "What your Majesty said to your son is a secret, and he cannot say it. My son came here because he hopes that his mother will send someone to keep an eye on Manfang Garden and not let little Gu do anything excessive to Sister Xi."
.Sister Xi’s future is limitless, we must not let our Liu family chill Sister Xi’s heart.”
The old lady just thought about it and understood that your Majesty must have mentioned something to Shu Ming today, and these things are also related to Sister Xi.
Her son has never interfered in the affairs of the backyard, but in recent days he has been coming to her frequently for Sister Xi’s sake, and just now he said that Sister Xi’s future is limitless.
What this means is self-evident.
At that moment, she said seriously: "Don't worry, mother will keep an eye on Manfang Garden, and mother over there in Xiyuan will also take good care of it."
"There is no need to restrain Sister Xi. You can follow her wherever she wants, but you must pay attention to safety. If she goes out, it is best to send someone to protect her." Wan Qinghou warned again uneasily.
The old lady agreed one by one.
As soon as Wan Qinghou left, the old lady personally selected a few people and asked Cigu to send them to Xiyuan.
When Gu Xiyan saw two young-looking maids and two women, she thought something had happened.
"Aunt Ci, these four are..." Gu Xiyan was only worried that the old lady would send someone to monitor Xiyuan.
"They are all slaves personally selected by the old lady. They have been trained not long after they entered the Marquis Mansion. The old lady was worried that there was not enough manpower in Xiyuan, so she sent them to serve the eldest girl. From now on, when the eldest girl goes out, there will be more people.
The old lady will feel more at ease when serving you." Cigu said with a smile.
Gu Xiyan thought to herself that there had only been the four of them in Xiyuan for so many years, and suddenly the old lady was so concerned about her. Did she take the wrong medicine?
"I appreciate my grandmother's kindness. But I can't have any of these people. I want to find a capable female guard outside to protect my safety. As for my daily life, having three people around me is enough. I don't have to worry about it.
Aunt Ci took them back. If there were still admonitions from her grandmother, Xiyan would personally go to her to apologize." Gu Xiyan refused frankly.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to test the old lady's motives for giving her people away, and wanted to know if the old lady would be angry after she rejected these people.
