What did Gu Chengyao just say? King Yan wants to marry Lin Weixi as his concubine?
There was a buzz in Gao Ran's head, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. At this time, Gu Chengyao was also distracted and did not notice anything strange about Gao Ran.
The lanterns made a popping sound, Gao Ran was startled and woke up, and she suddenly realized the meaning behind this incident. She had just agreed to the marriage between Lin Weixi and Mr. Qian yesterday. Although it was only a verbal promise, Gao Ran was confident when he agreed to Mrs. Qian and did not think there would be any problem with it. Although the parents ordered matchmakers, there are so many marriage decrees and royal decrees in the world, but none of them are relatives of the emperor. As long as the power is strong enough, class can override all rules.
So when Mrs. Qian mentioned Lin Weixi's marriage, Gao Ran was right in her mind and agreed without much hesitation. Both the Qian family and Gao Ran are happy. As for the thoughts of the person involved, is it necessary to ask?
Of course Gao Ran knew that Lin Weixi would not be happy, and she even guessed that Lin Weixi would probably go to King Yan to talk about it. But the gecko abandoned its tail and cut off its arm to survive. Compared with King Yan's temporary dissatisfaction, Lin Weixi's continued stay in King Yan's mansion was more harmful. Gao Ran happily gave up the temporary gain in exchange for long-term peace of mind in the future.
However, Gao Ran never expected that Lin Weixi would complain to King Yan and get such a result.
Lin Weixi actually wants to marry into Prince Yan’s Mansion? What's even more incredible is that the person involved is not Gu Chengyao, but King Yan?
Gao Ran was so shocked that he couldn't speak. If it was just a shock, the trouble is, this would make Lin Weixi nominally a generation higher than her. If Lin Weixi remembered her hatred and deliberately found trouble in the future, Gao Ran would be in big trouble.
Nowadays, the promise to Mrs. Qian is no longer important, Gao Ran is more concerned about King Yan's affairs. Gao Ran was so eager that he didn't notice that his voice was not the gentle and gentle style of the past. He was almost impatient: "Why did my father say that he wants Lin Weixi to be his concubine? Is it a concubine or a concubine?"
Even though Gu Chengyao was thinking about something, he couldn't help but look down at Gao Ran when he heard this. Gao Ran used to be very understanding and gentle, so how could he say such vulgar and disrespectful words? Gu Chengyao didn't know why Gao Ran had such speculation. This was not only an insult to Lin Weixi, but also an insult to King Yan.
Gu Chengyao was unhappy, but he still suppressed his emotions and answered his wife's question in a good voice: "Of course she is the princess. Princess Yan."
Gao Ran's last bit of luck was shattered, and she was so angry that she vomited. It was already settled, so why did Lin Weixi make so many troubles again. This troublemaker!
Gao Ran frowned in thought. After a while, she suddenly realized that Gu Chengyao was looking at her. Gao Ran was alert in his heart, and quickly softened his expression, forcing out a smile: "Your Majesty, I just heard about this, I was so surprised. By the way, what did the Crown Prince talk about with the prince, and why did he bring up this matter?"
After Gao Ran explained that she looked gloomy and confused in the first half of the sentence, she immediately changed the topic.
Speaking of this, Gu Chengyao was not too happy and did not pursue Gao Ran's gaffe: "My father said that he wanted Lin Weixi to move to Princess Shoukang's mansion. I was puzzled for a while, so after asking a few more questions, my father said that he would marry her. As a concubine."
If Prince Yan really wants to marry Lin Weixi, it would really not sound good to continue to let Lin Weixi live in Prince Yan's mansion. From this point of view, this matter is not a rumor, and Lin Weixi will probably get married from Princess Shoukang's mansion.
Why did Lin Weixi become Princess Yan, but also got a princess's wife by accident?
Gao Ran felt very angry. A living Cinderella story happened in front of her eyes. Gao Ran felt that it was extremely dazzling. What's even more disgusting is that this Cinderella will also become her mother-in-law and will have natural management power over Gao Ran in the future.
Gao Ran was used to seeing this kind of vicious mother-in-law in his previous life, whether it was from movies, TV series or novels. If Lin Weixi gives birth to a son in the future, he will definitely have no intention of tampering with his position as the heir apparent. Gao Ran made no secret of her malice towards her stepmother. She completely forgot that she was also a stepmother. If Gao Xi had not died early, Gao Ran would have been someone else's stepmother.
Gao Ran thought about countermeasures quickly in her mind. She rolled her eyes and felt that the key still lies with Gu Chengyao. Women are just clothes, but Gu Chengyao is the only son of King Yan and the crown prince of the palace. If Lin Weixi did anything secretive to Gu Chengyao, she would definitely not be spared inside or outside Prince Yan's palace. Therefore, Gao Ran still relies on Gu Chengyao. Only when Gu Chengyao and she are of the same mind, can Gao Ran step by step ignore Lin Weixi and make her an empty princess.
After Gao Ran figured it out, he became calmer and asked softly: "Your Majesty, your face was not good when you came in just now. Could it be that you said something to the prince?"
Gu Chengyao sighed: "It's my fault, I shouldn't contradict my father. But I'm not worth it for my mother. My mother and my father have a deep relationship. My father married after many years. Where will this put my mother?"
Gao Ran knew that the mother here refers to her serious mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen. Princess Shen was very famous in Prince Yan's palace. As soon as Gao Ran got married, she heard these things from her mother who was in charge of the palace. I heard that the love between Princess Shen and Prince Yan was earth-shattering. Princess Shen chased her husband thousands of miles across class. She never changed her original intention until she was challenged by her parents-in-law after entering the palace. She loved bravely and passionately. It is a pity that Princess Shen was jealous of her beauty and suffered cold treatment from her mother-in-law for many years. When King Yan went on an expedition, she died of illness in the backyard of the palace.
When King Yan came back and learned of this, he remained silent for a long time and gave Shen a grand burial. For many years after that, King Yan did not remarry. During this period, there were many young and beautiful women who proposed themselves as pillow mats, but King Yan did not accept them. Later, when Gu Chengyao grew up, he directly made Shen's son the heir apparent. Gao Ran sighed after hearing this. What a touching love story. The heroine breaks through the barriers of the world. The hero has been affectionate for many years and has always guarded his late wife after her death. Even many important departments in the palace were guarded by her late wife's dowry. In this way, Lin Weixi, the meddler, would be too annoying.
Gu Chengyao's memory of Mr. Shen has been very vague, but this does not prevent him from deeply mourning his mother and being kind to the old people left behind by his mother. Even now, many of the important people around Gu Chengyao are the people left behind by Princess Shen. The day after Gao Ran got married, Gu Chengyao's housekeeper mother and maid Yunhui came over to have a showdown with Gao Ran. When Gao Ran heard that the other party was from the Shen family, he was immediately very polite. Gao Ran was much more knowledgeable than Gao Xi. Because Gao Ran fawned over Yun Hui and others, and Gu Chengyao doted on Gao Ran, the people in the palace, Princess Shen, were on good terms with Gao Ran after seeing this, and Gao Xi was in front of them. , Gao Ran and Princess Shen's family simply loved each other and had a great time.
Gao Ran understood Gu Chengyao's mood very well. Her nominal father, the British prince, could not be with her true love Han because of worldly outlook, so Han could only become a concubine. Gao Ran held Gu Chengyao's hand and said: "Your Majesty, I understand how you feel. Don't worry, Princess Shen is the only mother-in-law I recognize. No matter what happens in the future, my heart for you will never change."
Gu Chengyao held Gao Ran's hand tightly. It is supposed to be very touching words, but for some reason today, Gu Chengyao is always very distant. When hearing these words, he does not feel as shocked as before.
.
After Gu Mingda left, Lin Weixi stayed in his room to recuperate for several days. Gu Mingda didn't say anything that day. Women can't always hear things like an engagement in person, but from the looks of the people around them these days and the specious voices of people in the palace, Lin Weixi could probably guess what was going on.
After Lin Weixi's fever subsided, his confused brain finally came to his senses. Could it be that she had been in the rain for too long that day, causing water to enter her brain? What has she done!
Lin Weixi was too embarrassed to face the stupid things she had done, so she could only hide in the house to recuperate, not seeing anyone when they came. Being sick is really a good excuse. She used to think that it was exaggerated that the women in the Duke's Mansion would fall ill every now and then. But now Lin Weixi knows that recuperation is really an all-purpose excuse. She has no face to see people, and she can hide for a day. It's a day.
Fortunately, within two days, people from Princess Shoukang's Mansion came and took Lin Weixi lively to the Princess' Mansion to recuperate. Lin Weixi's luggage was very simple. Apart from Lin Yong's intact rewards, only two girls, Wan Xing and Wan Yue, were left. Wanyue was behind helping the people in the Princess Mansion count the mahogany boxes, while Lin Weixi lazily leaned in front to recuperate. The mother-in-law beside Gao Ran came over to inquire about the news. The mother-in-law walked into Jingdan Garden softly and smiled apologetically at Wan Xing: "Miss Wan Xing, is Miss Lin in there? Miss Lin will leave soon. The Imperial Concubine sent I'm here to ask if there is anything I want to buy."
Wan Xing looked unkind: "No. There is no need for you to buy more. Our girls are not without money. Besides, there are also the female officials and aunts of the Princess Mansion. Who needs you?"
A few days ago, Wan Xing would never have dared to talk to the people around the Crown Princess like this, but who asked their girl to become a princess? Wan Xing comes from the folk, and is full of the philistine spirit of a low-level citizen. She is calculating and has clear grudges. When she can step on someone, she must run over and stamp on her twice.
Wan Xing thought that soon their girl would become the mother-in-law of the imperial concubine. The folk mother-in-laws simply suppressed their daughters-in-law by hierarchy, and they could be beaten or scolded at will. Even though the rules of the aristocratic families in the capital are different from those of ordinary people, Yi Wanxing's observation and inquiry in the past few days found that the rules in these high-ranking families are sometimes stricter than those in ordinary families. If this is the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Wan Xing’s tail is trembling happily now. Wan Yue secretly told her what happened that day. Wan Xing probably guessed that the imperial concubine and Miss Lin said some unpleasant things. Miss Lin It was only after I came back that I became angry and sick. Now that the situation has changed, Wan Xing is proud and proud, so how can he save face for them.
The woman's face turned red after being scolded. She said with a shy face, "I know that Miss Lin is rich, but after all, I came here in the name of the imperial concubine. Even if Miss Lin doesn't give me face, she still has a lot of money." You have to give face to the Crown Princess, right? If this old slave doesn’t even see Miss Lin, how will he and the Crown Princess return to life after he returns?"
Wan Xing was a little confused by the polite words from such a wealthy family. She didn't know how to respond, so she pouted and replied angrily: "You wait first, I will ask our girl. ”
After a while, Wan Xing lifted the curtain from the room and came out, looking like a peacock: "The girl said she was gone."
The mother-in-law was in disbelief: "I was ordered by the Crown Princess, Miss Lin..."
"We girls said that even if the Crown Princess comes, she will not be seen. Let's go quickly, don't use chicken feathers as arrows, we girls will not accept your tricks."
Wan Xing showed the same posture as when she was buying vegetables at the vegetable market, pushing and scolding her mother-in-law away. As for keeping a line in doing things so that we can meet again in the future? Wan Xing was so proud that she didn’t need it! These girls will be princesses and mother-in-law in the future. Who wants to keep a close relationship with your daughter-in-law?
Lin Weixi clearly heard the commotion outside in the room. Wan Yue put down the gift book list and poured Lin Wei Xi a cup of tea: "Girl, Wan Xing is used to walking around in the market and speaks without restraint. Please forgive me."
Lin Weixi covered her lips and coughed lightly. After suppressing the itchiness in her throat with water, she said nonchalantly: "It's nothing."
It is good to be happy with your grudges and to be outspoken. Anyway, Wan Xing and Wanyue's contract of betrayal is with her. If Lin Weixi can't keep it in the future, then she will let them both go and never leave them to Gao Ran to vent his anger. Now that things have happened, Lin Weixi has nothing to worry about.
After the woman returned to Gao Ran, she was so angry that she scolded Wan Xing for being frivolous. Since Wan Xing, a slave, dared to speak rudely, Lin Weixi, the master, naturally took great credit. The people on Gao Ran's side were indignant, but this was all a matter for later. At this time, Lin Weixi had already gotten on the carriage of the Princess Mansion and moved to the Princess Shoukang Mansion with his rich inheritance. If nothing else happens, Lin Weixi will settle here until she gets married.
The eldest princess Shoukang was extremely happy to see Lin Weixi. One morning, Lin Weixi had breakfast in her room and came to Shoukang to say hello. As soon as she entered the door, Shoukang pulled her closer. Princess Shoukang held Lin Weixi's hand and looked up and down. After a while, she shook her head and looked at the female officials around her with distress. Said: "Why do I feel that Sister Xi has lost weight again?"
Lin Weixi sweated coldly and said quickly: "What are you talking about? I have eaten well and slept well these past few days, and I have gained a lot of weight."
Princess Shoukang looked at it suspiciously, unable to tell where Lin Weixi had gained weight. The elders always think that the younger ones look better if they are fatter. Shoukang asked Lin Weixi to eat more and sleep more. Lin Weixi felt helpless, but he still agreed.
Shou Kang was satisfied when he saw Lin Wei Xi obediently agreed, and then excitedly talked to Lin Wei Xi about the dowry: "The King of Yan has already sent the betrothal gift list, and the list alone is enough. The King of Yan also said everything Let's discuss it. Sister Xi, although you are a daughter and cannot listen to your parents' orders to find a matchmaker, but your parents are both dead and you will have to live on your own when you get married, so we won't follow these strict rules. You like it? When will you get married?"
Lin Weixi was very embarrassed. It would be inappropriate to ask her about the wedding date, right? What should she say? Is it too early or too late?
Lin Weixi could only say politely: "I don't understand this, it's all up to you and King Yan."
"You said so. You two parties were so calm, and it seemed like I was hot for shaving my head and picking up my body." Princess Shoukang complained casually, took back the auspicious time list, and took it over to consider again and again. Marriage date. One of these two people is her nephew and the other is her adopted granddaughter. It is better not to be biological than biological. Although there is a gap in seniority, this is nothing in a large family that has been married for generations. Shoukang was overjoyed that the two younger generations she liked very much were getting married. She wished that the marriage would be perfect, in heaven and on earth.
While Shoukang and the female official next to him were considering good luck, Lin Weixi continued to sit awkwardly. Just as he was about to get up, Shoukang stopped her and said, "Sister Xi, you happen to be here too. Let's talk about the dowry first. Tell me about it. The betrothal gifts sent by King Yan are still intact. You can take them all with you. In addition, I have prepared a dowry for you. The red dowry booklet is here. Take these two lists away and go back to the house to take a closer look. ."
