Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 231
Because of the relationship with the prince, the queen naturally wanted to have a good relationship with the Gu family. During the half hour they stayed in Fengqi Palace, the queen and Bai Yiran had a very happy conversation. It was not until the queen mother sent someone to invite them that Bai Yiran took the two The brother and sister resigned.

The Queen Mother is happy. Although Princess Yanling is her granddaughter, her noisy temper also gives the Queen Mother a headache. Except for visits during holidays, Princess Yanling is rarely seen on weekdays.

Princess Yanling also knew that she was not liked by the Queen Mother, so when the people in the Queen Mother's palace came to invite Bai Yiran, Princess Yanling did not follow them.

Arriving at the Queen Mother's Palace, she bowed and took her seat, and after a few simple greetings, the Queen Mother retreated, leaving only an old lady waiting beside her.

There was a vague smile on the Queen Mother's kind and majestic face. Lin Jinyan knew that it was not a smile, but the usual expression of women who stayed in the palace all year round.

"This time the Gu family won the victory and returned to the court to serve the country. Gu Xiaowei even captured the coach of Mobei alive. The Emperor Long Xin was very happy and wanted to grant him a marriage. The Aijia asked you to come here to ask whether Gu Xiaowei was engaged? "

Bai Yiran said respectfully: "Thanks to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty for their grace, my son Ruizhou has not yet been engaged. I am scared. Do you know who I want to marry?"

The smile on the Queen Mother's face deepened a little: "It's the eldest princess, Yun Ping."

Bai Yiran was stunned after hearing this, marrying the royal family?Then wouldn't the rules in the house be strict from now on, and there would be no place for respite?
Seeing Bai Yiran stunned, the smile on the Queen Mother's face faded.

"What? The general's wife seems to look down on Yun Ping?"

When Lin Jinyan saw this, she immediately stood up and said with a crisp smile:

"This is a great thing. I have long heard that the eldest princess is gentle and polite, and is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. My eldest cousin is really a blessed person. My aunt must have been in disbelief when she heard the happy news, so she didn't react. "

Bai Yiran came back to his senses after hearing this, couldn't help but feel scared, and quickly put on a smile:

"What Yan'er said is absolutely true. I never expected that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty love the Gu family so much that they would be willing to marry the eldest princess."

The Queen Mother softened her expression: "Although Yun Ping's mother died young and she grew up in the Ai family, her appearance, talent and character are as good as any other woman's. Gu Xiaowei is also versatile in both civil and military affairs, so it can be considered a match made in heaven."

Bai Yiran smiled and said: "It's great to be able to be taught and raised by the Queen Mother. It's my Gu family's fortune to marry the eldest princess. I didn't expect Ruizhou to be so lucky. My wife asked him to restrain his martial arts." My habits will definitely not let the eldest princess suffer any injustice."

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this. If Gu Ruizhou was not a versatile man in both civil and military affairs, and the Emperor was worried about the Gu family getting married to other ministers, how could she have agreed to the Emperor's marriage to Yun Ping? No matter how outstanding he was, he was still a martial artist...

"This girl has a clever mouth. She is worthy of being Taifu Lin's granddaughter. Chen Momo, go get my glass lamp and give it to this girl."

Lin Jinyan was not at all proud of receiving the reward, and she kowtowed with a smile and a thorough etiquette:

"My maid, Lin Jinyan, would like to thank the Queen Mother for the reward, and I wish the Queen Mother long blessings."

His calm and courteous appearance made the Queen Mother look twice.

After finishing the business, he called the servants in. Chen Momo took the palace lantern and showed it to the Queen Mother and Bai Yiran.

The palace lantern is in a hexagonal shape, with fine wood as the skeleton. Three sides are inlaid with silk gauze embroidered with lifelike flowers and birds. The other three sides are inlaid with colored glaze, and the edges are red sandalwood lace with gold. Even the handle of the lantern is made of red sandalwood.

The whole lantern exudes luxury and is extraordinary at first glance.
