My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 216: A woman is pleased with herself
Qin Yuan had no choice but to change the subject and said, "This Imperial Doctor Liu..."

Her phoenix eyes were full of smiles. Seeing this, Gu Jinghui immediately stopped talking and said with a grin through gritted teeth: “Yuan’er, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

Qin Yuan: "...I..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Jinghui pulled her into his arms.

Lord Gu gritted his teeth and whispered, "You know clearly that you are the only one in my heart, but you deliberately try to irritate me. I really am..."

One hand began to become a little dishonest.

Qin Yuan hurriedly resisted and said, "Didn't you just ask what I meant? Why don't you want to listen now?"

Gu Jinghui then stopped his movements, put his chin on the top of Qin Yuan's head, groaned, and said: "If you continue to torment me on purpose, humph."

As he spoke, his hand rubbed Qin Yuan's waist heavily.

Qin Yuan moved outwards imperceptibly, but was dragged back again. She had no choice but to lean on the solid and hot chest behind her, suppressing the increasingly surging heat on her face, and carefully chose her words: "In my opinion, tomorrow we will have to open the palace gates to ask for the emperor's order. If we don't see them with our own eyes, how can we know what the emperor means? Besides, I still have a memorial to write."

Neither the Crown Prince nor the Prince of Qi lived as long as the Emperor.

Gu Jinghui just needs to deal with the emperor well.

As for the seventh and ninth princesses…if the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?

Gu Jinghui didn't have any intentions, so what could these two princesses do to her?
Qin Yuan was calculating without making any expression, her face soft and delicate, just like a powerless little wife imprisoned by Lord Gu, as weak as a vine, clinging to the rough tree behind her.

Gu Jinghui hesitated: "Then... there are still patients in the mansion..."

Qin Yuan offered a suggestion: "Of course, you and I can just accept the order. The situation in the mansion is different now than before. The old lady and others are not convenient to come out to greet us. This is also for the consideration of the two princesses. The emperor will not blame us for being rude."

Gu Jinghui thought about it and said, "That's fine."

Qin Yuan added, "Tomorrow I will ask Steward Cao and Steward Han to arrange for people to clean up and light medicinal incense everywhere. Everyone in the mansion should stay away as much as possible, leaving only a few people to guard outside. When the time comes, please ask the two princesses to talk in the pavilion in the outer courtyard. If you want to receive an imperial decree, you can just go to the gate, and the princesses' ceremonial guards will not need to enter the mansion."

This arrangement can save a lot of trouble.

Gu Jinghui said: “Let’s do it this way. I’ll talk to mother tomorrow.”

After the two finished their discussion, they went back to their room to rest.

Hongye and Cuiming had already made the beds and placed the ice basin.

Qin Yuan slept on the inside and Gu Jinghui on the outside. They talked for a few words and then fell asleep.

Because of consideration for welcoming the emperor the next day, Qin Yuan deliberately kept some distance from Lord Gu before going to bed. Unexpectedly, she still woke up in the middle of the night because of the heat, and was hugged tightly by Lord Gu, causing layers of sweat to form on her body.

Qin Yuan: “…”

Qin Yuan finally got away after pushing and shoving Lord Gu awake. She was really sleepy and soon fell asleep again. After a while, she was woken up by the heat again.

Qin Yuan: “…”

There is no way to sleep these days.

Qin Yuan was also looking forward to opening up her mansion as soon as possible so that Gu Jinghui could get out.

After waking up and sleeping all night, Qin Yuan finally got a good sleep in the early morning because Lord Gu got up to practice martial arts.

When Gu Jinghui finished washing up, he started to make trouble for her again. Qin Yuan frowned and asked angrily, "Why are you so anxious?"

Gu Jinghui came over and said shamelessly: "You woke me up several times in the night, and you still slept so well."

Qin Yuan wanted to stretch out her long nails and scratch her face, it was really abominable. Gu Jinghui didn't even use any strength and pulled her up.

"Hurry up, after breakfast, we still have to prepare to receive the emperor's order."

Qin Yuan then got up to wash up. Lord Gu was leaning on the bed, not doing anything but staring at her.

Qin Yuan asked: "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Lord Gu said, "I was thinking of learning to paint like my sixth brother. He said he wanted to paint horses, but I think it's better to paint beauties."

Qin Yuan said angrily: "How many women can be seen in the painting of ladies? So you still have such thoughts."

Lord Gu shuddered.

"I'm just saying."

Qin Yuan said: "It's better to talk about it."

Lord Gu said, "Really, I'm just talking. I'd better paint a horse. You teach me."

Qin Yuan then remembered that he had promised Master Gu Liu yesterday, so he told Hongye: "Take a few of my paintings of flowers, insects and birds, roll them up, and have someone send them to Master Liu, and ask him to review them."

Hongye agreed.

Lord Gu said, "I have never seen it before."

Qin Yuan said, "I will definitely bring Hongye over to me later. How about you take a look too?"

Lord Gu stopped talking, his interest inexplicably dropping.

Qin Yuan ignored him and just focused on discussing the hairstyle with Cui Ming. Because they had to receive an imperial decree today, they had to wear a big coat, but they also had to go to the upper room and change clothes.

Changing clothes is a small matter, but combing hair is a little troublesome.

Qin Yuan asked Cui Ming to comb her hair into a high bun, and then tied it tightly with a hairband to prevent it from loosening, and then held it down with a large gold hairpin and small flower hairpins.

Cui Ming finished it carefully.

Lord Gu commented: "It's too heavy. Aren't you tired of being weighed down by all the gold and pearls on your head?"

Qin Yuan said, "After returning from my mother's place, I still have to change clothes to receive the imperial edict. I just combed my hair. This way it won't be troublesome. To meet the princess, I must dress nicely. Women love to compare these things the most. I can't let people talk about it and lose face for our Dingbei Marquis Mansion."

Gu Jinghui said: "You don't have to be so careful. You are my wife, who dares to look down on you?"

Qin Yuan rolled her eyes and chuckled, "What are you talking about? I'm meeting a princess, how dare I not dress up properly? If people look down on me, wouldn't that be the same as looking down on you? I'm a woman, and women dress up to please themselves, so how can I not dress up for my husband? Humph, I don't want to be looked down upon by the princess."

Gu Jinghui felt a little distressed after hearing this, and hesitated to speak. After a while, he couldn't help but chuckled.

Qin Yuan knew that he was ill, so she ignored him, changed her clothes, asked someone to bring food prepared by the kitchen, and went to the upper room together.

Old Madam Gu was also a little surprised to learn that the two princesses were coming to express their condolences today.

"Why did the emperor send two princesses? Besides, the smallpox has not been eradicated yet. If something goes wrong, how can our mansion afford it?"

Qin Yuan said, "I think Princess Fuyun missed the Marquis, and when she heard that we were about to open a palace, she asked for this job. Yuan'er had heard that Queen Lin and the Emperor loved her very much, much more than the Ninth Princess, so she naturally agreed to it. The Ninth Princess went to the Jokhang Temple with Princess Fuyun last time, and the Marquis was in charge of the imperial guards to escort them, so it's okay for her to come along and take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Gu looked at the well-dressed Marquis Gu with an unfriendly look.
