The eldest princess Shoukang’s smile froze. She blinked, thinking she had heard something wrong.

Gu Huiyan still maintained a calm smile and looked at Princess Shoukang calmly.

Gu Huiyan's expression really didn't look like he was joking. Shoukang slowly smacked his words before he realized what King Yan had said.

Even the eldest princess Shoukang was so shocked that she choked. The maid stepped forward to serve, but Shoukang pushed her away: "What did you say? Are you...serious?"

"Seriously."

Shou Kang looked at Gu Huiyan, who was calm and calm, as if he was talking about something as ordinary as eating and drinking water. His heart was in a state of turmoil, and he could hardly maintain the expression on his face. If she wasn't old and confused, Gu Huiyan just entrusted her to look after her husband's house for Prime Minister Lin Weixi a month ago, right? What happened in the middle to lead to such a big reversal.

The eldest princess Shoukang hurriedly took a sip of tea. After she calmed down a little, she thought about this incident again. She was really happy about it. She thought about it as much as she wanted. Of course Shoukang wanted to find a good husband for Lin Weixi in the capital. She had secretly looked at several powerful men these days, but which one could compare to King Yan?

Moreover, no matter how Shoukang chooses, Lin Weixi will have to serve her parents-in-law and sister-in-law when she marries into another family. No matter how Shoukang can find a husband's family with a clean family and a simple family, there is a difference between a daughter-in-law and a daughter. It is said that a daughter-in-law who has been married for many years can become a mother-in-law. Lin Weixi had to be careful. But if you were in Prince Yan's Mansion, then these troubles would not exist. Prince Yan's parents had died many years ago, and there were three masters in the Prince's Mansion. Except for Prince Yan, the other two were sons and daughters-in-law. If Lin Weixi marries King Yan, he will be the elders of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Who in the whole family would dare to look down on Lin Weixi?

The more Shoukang thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good thing. King Yan had clear hands and eyes, and was powerful. He was not the kind of person who would be deceived by the tricks of the back house. As long as Lin Weixi did not make King Yan angry in the future, she would not have to suffer from the secrets of the back house. deficit. The eldest son was also grown up, and Lin Weixi didn't even have to bear the anger of being a stepmother. Instead, she had an extra filial daughter-in-law.

The eldest princess Shoukang almost laughed out loud when she thought of this. Gao Ran deliberately planned to steal Gao Xi's marriage, wasn't it just for the power of Prince Yan's palace, and wanted to be the master and mistress of the palace, but you must know that Prince Yan's palace is It belongs to King Yan, not to Gu Chengyao. Once Princess Yan was vacant, Gao Ran, the eldest concubine, was in charge of the palace. But once the real mistress came in, what would Gao Ran do?

Shou Kang was overjoyed. She felt relieved about Lin Weixi's life, and then she had the idea of ​​King Yan's words. Women are naturally good at gossiping, and Shoukanggui is no exception. She asked tentatively: "King Yan, it's not that I, as an elder, am disrespectful. It's just that I was fine some time ago. You suddenly mentioned this matter today. Among them, Is there any reason?"

Even if I beat the eldest princess Shoukang to death, she couldn’t figure out that this exciting idea was actually brought up by Lin Weixi. She still thought that it was King Yan who was looking after Lin Weixi all the way. Now that Lin Weixi is about to leave the cabinet, she is a little reluctant, or maybe it is Prince Yan’s palace. What happened inside that outsiders didn't know about, and this catalyzed...

Looking at Princess Shoukang's eager eyes, Gu Huiyan could not guess what his aunt was thinking. He had already figured it out when he returned to the study. After that, he prepared his horse, left the mansion, and came to visit Princess Shoukang's mansion. He knew very well what he was doing and planned every step of the future clearly. Now being asked by Princess Shoukang, Gu Huiyan also thought about it, why did he do this?

Lin Weixi said such words even though she was ill. With Lin Weixi's temper, once such words were said, there would be no room for maneuver. Either it would happen, or she would leave Prince Yan's Mansion and have no more intersections for the rest of their lives. Gu Huiyan had to admit that he had a crush on this overly lively girl. Watching her make trouble, it seemed as if he, a stagnant person, had become much younger. Asking Lin Weixi to move out of the palace and never see each other again forever made Gu Huiyan feel inexplicably irritated. In this case, there was only one other option left.

It's either/or, very simple logic. Gu Huiyan went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen and spent half his life in the military. What he was best at was making decisions, and what he was most decisive about was making decisions. Lin Weixi's matter was much simpler than the ever-changing battlefield. The pros and cons were clear and organized. There was no dilemma of abandoning a team of people or abandoning the entire army. It only took Gu Huiyan a short time to make a decision. .

But Gu Huiyan was not used to talking closely with others, so he just smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, there is no hidden misunderstanding. I know what I am doing." After that, Gu Huiyan He paused invisibly and added another sentence: "She also knows."

I hope she knows.

Princess Shoukang pretended to be relieved, but she knew in her heart that nothing could be found out by asking here. King Yan seemed to be sensible and easy to talk to, but in fact the limit was very strict, and she would have crossed the limit if she asked again. Shoukang changed the topic and stopped asking further questions.

The eldest princess Shoukang was extremely excited today. Her only granddaughter passed away, and Shoukang felt unspeakable regret in his heart. Now that Lin Weixi has appeared, Shoukang is determined to organize a perfect marriage for Lin Weixi and will never let her follow in Gao Xi's footsteps. After Gu Huiyan entrusted this matter to the eldest princess Shoukang, he no longer worried about it. As for the six rites, marriage proposal and other ceremonies, whatever the eldest princess Shoukang said, Gu Huiyan didn't care. As for whether it was extravagant or not, he didn't even think about it. .

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Huiyan stood up and left. Shoukang smiled and sent Gu Huiyan out of the main hall, and then excitedly asked the female officer to open the warehouse, and she went to pick up the dowry for Lin Weixi in person. Princess Shoukang's Mansion is full of joy, but Prince Yan's Mansion is still quiet and solemn. It rained for a long time a few days ago, and today there is still moisture in the air. The trees in the courtyard have been washed deep green by the rain, and the wind blows into the sleeves. Feeling a little chilly.

Lin Weixi woke up for a short while at noon, and then fell into a deep sleep. Her breathing was hot, her dreams were intermittent, and she slept very restlessly. Everyone in Jingdan Garden had serious expressions on their faces when they came and went. Regardless of whether they were genuine or not, at least they seemed to be very worried about Lin Weixi's condition now. Wan Xing and Wan Yue worked non-stop to replace the cold water scarf on Lin Wei Xi's forehead until the evening, when Lin Wei Xi's fever finally subsided.

After Lin Weixi woke up, he saw that the sky outside the window was dark. She lowered her head and coughed, not caring about drinking water, and quickly asked: "Has His Highness, Prince Yan, been here?"

"No."

Lin Weixi said "Oh" softly, and her heart gradually sank. She should have known earlier, shouldn't she? King Yan was not stupid, so why would he let her scheme.

Wan Yue saw that Lin Wei Xi's expression was not good, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. She lowered her voice and added: "The prince has just returned from Princess Shoukang's mansion and has not yet been to the back house. If you want to ask me for something, please Say, why don’t you go to the front and invite the prince?"

Before Lin Wei Xi had time to speak, she heard footsteps coming from outside. When Lin Weixi saw the person coming, he quickly sat up: "General Gu..."

As soon as Gu Mingda entered Jingdan Garden, he was greeted respectfully. Gu Mingda was known to everyone in Prince Yan's Mansion. His family had served Prince Yan's Mansion for generations, and he followed King Yan when he was young. Later, he was even given the royal surname "Gu", which shows his status. However, such a true confidant who was superior to the inner and outer courtyards, and even superior to the master and servants, was very polite to Lin Wei Xi. After Gu Mingda entered the house, he stopped outside the screen, his eyes lowered, and he did not look inside. He asked solemnly: "Miss Lin, are you feeling better?"

Lin Weixi let Wan Xing help her sit up. She politely replied across the bed curtain and screen: "Thank you, Commander Gu, for your concern. I'm feeling much better." Lin Weixi still couldn't hold it back, turned a corner and asked: " Did His Highness King Yan ask you to come here and ask?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingda did not answer, but paused for a moment, and then said: "It's good that Miss Lin's condition has improved. Miss Lin just rests in peace and recuperates in the past few days. When the weather gets warmer in a few days, she will have a good life." The eldest princess would like to take you over to stay temporarily."

Gu Mingda didn't answer whether it was King Yan. If he hadn't known that it was impossible, Lin Weixi would have almost thought that Gu Mingda was deliberately avoiding it. But what servant would avoid this kind of favor for his master? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to half push and half respond? Gu Mingda's attitude is really strange. But before Lin Weixi could figure it out, he heard Gu Mingda talking about asking Lin Weixi to move. Lin Weixi's attention shifted and he frowned in confusion: "Why?"

Why at this juncture?

"Why?" Gu Chengyao also looked at Gu Huiyan in confusion, "She is still bedridden now, and Prince Yan's Palace cannot afford to support her, so why should she move out of the Palace?"

Gu Huiyan sat on an armchair and slowly lifted the floating leaves in the teacup: "She used to have no problem staying as long as she wanted, but now it's not appropriate to continue to stay in Prince Yan's Mansion."

Gu Chengyao was confused. He asked without thinking: "Why is it wrong?"

Gu Huiyan put down the Yue porcelain green cup. His movements were calm and unhurried, and his expression was the same as in countless previous battles. He was sure of victory and remained unmoved. But if Gu Mingda were here, he would have noticed that Gu Huiyan's movements had slowed down and his speech had paused for a few seconds longer than usual. This kind of pause was very unusual for Gu Huiyan.

By the time Gu Huiyan put down the tea cup, he had already adjusted his mood. He said casually as if it was unintentional: "She will marry into Prince Yan's Mansion in a few days. Continuing to live in the Prince's Mansion will be detrimental to her reputation."

There was a thunder on the ground, and the servants serving in the study widened their eyes in shock, and then they quickly gritted their teeth, shrank their shoulders and lowered their heads. Gu Chengyao was stunned, and it took him a long time to understand what Gu Huiyan was saying: "Father, you said Lin Weixi is going to marry into the palace? I have no brothers, this..." At this point, he suddenly woke up and looked at Gu Huiyan in disbelief: "Father, could it be..."

"Yes, I will marry her as my princess soon."

Gu Chengyao, who has always been praised by the capital for his gentlemanly demeanor, even neglected his appearance. He looked at Gu Huiyan with his mouth open in astonishment. After a while, his face suddenly darkened and he said flatly: "No."

Gu Huiyan only glanced at Gu Chengyao, obviously not taking it seriously. Gu Mingda came in from outside. When he heard this, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you have gone too far."

Gu Chengyao also felt that what he just said was ridiculous. As a child, how could he be qualified to take care of the affairs of his elders? But how can this be done?

Gu Chengyao was in a state of confusion. When he objected, he almost blurted it out without thinking. After he finished speaking, he thought in hindsight, why not?

Because his mother Shen said that his father fell in love with her at first sight, so Gu Chengyao couldn't bear to see his father remarry in order to protect his parents' love? Or is it because the person his father wants to marry is Lin Weixi, who is younger than Gu Chengyao, and he finds it ridiculous, so he objects to it, or because that person is Lin Weixi, a Lin Weixi who brings him an inexplicable sense of familiarity?

The confusion in Gu Chengyao's heart only appeared for a moment, and then was suppressed by Shen's voice and smile. Gu Huiyan fought for many years and did not stay in the palace for a long time. Gu Chengyao grew up with his mother Shen. At that time, she was still living in the palace of Yandi. At that time, the old princess Yan was still alive. The old princess was very unkind to Shen. Shen cried in Gu Chengyao's ear all day long and complained that her mother-in-law was harsh. As time went by, Gu Chengyao could not get close to his grandmother. More He stayed with his mother Shen.

At that time, Gu Chengyao was not very old. Shen told Gu Chengyao over and over again about her encounter with King Yan. King Yan saved Shen from the chaos. It was love at first sight when a hero saved a beauty. Shen traveled thousands of miles for it. Chasing her husband, the two of them later became husband and wife and became a legend. Gu Chengyao was actually not very interested in the words of Shen's talented men and beauties, but who knew it was her mother? Over the years, Gu Chengyao was deeply affected in her childhood. Without even realizing it, he truly felt that his father and mother's marriage was an eternal love myth, even if Gu Huiyan stayed in the military camp all year round and never came home, even if his grandmother, Princess Lao Yan, was very indifferent to the Shen family.

Later, Mr. Shen died of illness, and King Yan did not remarry for many years. Everything was moving towards a better place. Now this love myth is suddenly shattered, and a third party is inserted into it. How could Gu Chengyao allow it?

Gu Chengyao had a sullen face and a strong voice: "Father, are you worthy of your mother by doing this? You were busy fighting in the past few years, and it was she who took care of the family business alone, respected her grandmother, and raised me. You continue to marry The new princess, have you ever thought about your mother under the Nine Springs?"

Gu Mingda wanted to reply, you also know that Princess Shen is already under Jiuquan. But in reality, Gu Mingda just took a step forward and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you have overstepped your bounds."

Gu Chengyao looked at Gu Mingda. Gu Mingda did not dodge, but still looked at him with that businesslike, lifeless look. Gu Chengyao finally gave in and said firmly, "I'm sorry," and turned around and left quickly.

"Your Majesty..."

"It's okay." Gu Huiyan ignored the commotion just now. He stood up and walked towards the study. His daily affairs were piled up, and he actually didn't have much free time. "His mind is still immature, let him be."

Gao Ran was sitting in the inner room. When she saw Gu Chengyao coming angrily, she hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty."

When she saw Gu Chengyao's face, she smiled lightly and her voice was as gentle as water: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Chengyao took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing. I just had some dispute with my father."

Gao Ran was startled: "What dispute? Why?" Gu Chengyao and King Yan had a dispute. This was not a good sign.

"My father wanted to make Lin Weixi the princess, so I said a few words, and that's what happened next."

Gao Ran actually didn't hear the last half of Gu Chengyao's words. All her attention was focused on the first few words. She stood blankly on the spot, her head buzzing. After a while, she was finally able to speak normally: "What did you say?"
