Chapter 47

Gu Yanfei didn't stay in Cihetang, and returned to Yuhengyuan with Juanbi.

The autumn chrysanthemums and tree shadows sway in the wind, adding a bit of quiet and cool atmosphere.

Along the way, you can occasionally see servants coming and going walking in the wind, and from time to time, you hear words such as "Kang Kang", "propose marriage", "three girls" and so on.

After walking to the gate of Yuheng Garden, Juan Bi, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help asking a few more questions: "Girl, didn't the Empress Dowager say that the third girl would marry into the British government? Why did His Royal Highness come down to propose marriage?"

"My maidservant has never heard of a prince or prince personally going to any household to propose marriage before."

In this drama, isn't it also the emperor, empress or queen mother who bestows marriages on these concubines chosen by the royal relatives?

"If you're curious, just go and find out yourself." Gu Yanfei laughed, her words were overwhelmed by a dissatisfied meow.

"Meow--"

Qingguang dashed out with a long note, flew into Gu Yanfei's arms, and complained meowingly, blaming her for leaving him behind, and then complaining that Gu Yanfei gave it to Chu Yi before thing.

Gu Yanfei didn't understand, and walked in with the cat in her arms, while Juan Bi happily ran out again, walking briskly.

Juanbi is the son of the Hou Mansion. Several generations of the family, from parents to brothers and sisters and other relatives, have worked in the mansion, and the branches are flourishing. Although there are no housekeepers, there are people everywhere.

After a while, Juanbi inquired about Kang Wang from his cousin's niece and daughter-in-law.

Juanbi's relatives were serving as rough envoys in Cihetang, so she couldn't enter the main room, but she quietly asked the second-class maid in Cihetang.

It is said that Kang Wang did come to the Marquis Mansion to formally propose marriage, but Mrs. Gu has not agreed yet, she only said that the marriage matter cannot be decided by Kang Wang himself. If Queen Mother Yuan has other plans, it would be unbeautiful.

Kang Wang was finally persuaded to leave.

Although this marriage has not been settled, it still caused a storm in the Hou's mansion, making all the people feel honored, and the whole mansion was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

However, Mrs. Gu and Gu Jian's mother and son in the Cihe Hall felt a little heavy, and even the atmosphere inside and outside the room became depressing.

"Mother," Mrs. Hou Wang sat beside Gu Jian, cleared her throat, and broke the silence, "Why shouldn't you go down to King Kang?"

As soon as the words were finished, the curtain of the green gauze cabinet was quietly lifted by a hand, revealing half of his face.

It was a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old nanny in charge, wearing a dark brown beige and a sandalwood horse-face skirt, with a slightly plump figure, and her beautiful oval face was full of anxiety.

She stared at Mrs. Gu for a moment, and bit her lower lip.

Fourteen years ago, she took the risk and exchanged the two baby girls in the hope that her daughter would have a better future.

Once, she thought that her daughter marrying into the British government and becoming the wife of the country in the future would be the biggest dream of her life, but she never thought that her daughter would be lucky enough to be favored by King Kang and have the opportunity to become a dignified princess!

If her daughter can get such a good husband, her life will be worth it.

Back then, after her daughter's life was revealed, she almost thought that she would not survive, but luckily...

Su Niang's dark eyes were like a deep ancient well, she held her breath and stood behind the curtain, not daring to make any sound, for fear that others would find her eavesdropping.

Mrs. Gu, who was at the top, drank two sips of tea slowly, and was silent for a moment, as if she was contemplating or considering her words.

The room was extremely quiet, and the sound of water dripping from a kettle leak on one side was very clear.

Su Niang in the green gauze closet was standing numb. When she almost thought Mrs. Gu would be silent to the end, she heard Mrs. Gu's calm and slow voice piercing into her ears:

"The harder it is to come by, the more precious it is."

"Now that the Queen Mother is against it, Kang Wang can only make a second choice and propose in person. If the Gu family agrees easily, it will make Kang Wang feel that the marriage will come easily."

Sitting at the bottom, Gu Jian and Wang looked at each other, thoughtful.

After Gu Jianlue thought about it, she understood the deep meaning of Mrs. Gu's words.

He is a man, so he naturally understands men. Men are somewhat inferior. The more women they can't get, the more precious they are.

The truth is this, but Gu Jian couldn't help but feel a little worried: the queen mother has always been stubborn, if she just refuses to agree, can King Kang persist?

Gu Jian rubbed her raised eyebrows distractedly, and said, "Mother, I heard that His Royal Highness the First Prince also went to Prince Jing's Mansion today."

Taking care of Jane, the safest way is to settle the marriage quickly, so as not to be self-defeating.

Mrs. Gu heard the words, her hand holding the string of Buddha beads trembled, she almost didn't let go of the string of beads, her original calmness no longer existed.

Gu Jian continued: "The eldest prince went to see Prince Jing alone, and the two of them stayed in the study for an hour before coming out. After that, the eldest prince went back to the palace directly."

Mrs. Gu naturally understood what her son meant when she said these words, and she also became irritable, with a bit of sinister in her cold expression.

Just as she had speculated before, the eldest prince would be the biggest variable, and his return would definitely set off a bloodbath in the court.

In the face of that supreme power, many things and many people will become insignificant.

No one can guarantee whether Kang Wang can resist the temptation of the throne for Gu Yunxie? !

Madam Gu pursed her lips, feeling as if a heavy boulder was pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

There was a moment of silence in the house, and a needle could be heard.

Su Niang, who was listening in the green gauze closet, didn't expect Mrs. Gu to have so many people. Seeing that they stopped talking again, she was very anxious.

She almost bumped into the curtain and made a movement, but she held it back abruptly, her eyes were cloudy, she didn't know what Madam Gu was planning.

Mrs. Gu slowly twirled the string of beads, and suddenly changed the topic: "How is the preparation for the real sister's marriage? Murong Yong seems to have made meritorious service in Qingzhou recently?"

Now the Hou Mansion is the head of the Wang family, and Gu Yunzhen's marriage is mainly handled by the Wang family. On weekdays, when Wang's nagging about trivial matters, although Gu Jian has heard it, but most of them don't pay attention, so she gave Wang a look .

Therefore, Mrs. Wang replied with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will definitely handle the real sister's marriage properly, and now I will wait for the Murong family to ask for a date."

"Master Hou, Mr. Murong is going back to Beijing soon?"

The wedding date must wait for Murong Yong to come back from Qingzhou before it can be formally set.

When talking about Murong Yong, Gu Jian cheered up, and talked eloquently: "I came back this morning! This Murong Yong is indeed a young talent. This time, he went to Qingzhou with the army to suppress the bandits. He personally took down the bandit leader and made a great contribution. This time, there is a high probability that he will be promoted."

"Shenji Battalion happens to have a vacancy for Captain Xiao, and I think this position is pretty sure."

Murong Yong is young, making a great contribution this time is equivalent to showing his face in front of the emperor once, as long as he can enter the Shenji camp, he will have a bright future.

What Kang Wang lacks most now is the support of the army.
