good wife

Chapter 209 You can tell the difference immediately
After the emperor sat down on the dragon chair, the emperor made a gesture to Du Hai beside him.

Du Hai took two steps forward, spread out the imperial decree and said: "Gu Yan accepts the decree!" After a pause, he said again: "Following the heavens, the emperor's edict said: Gu Wen has served the country faithfully and made many military exploits. Gu Wen is now canonized as Wuchang." Hou, his eldest son, Gu Yan, canonized as Marquis of Wuchang! Today, a marriage is specially given to him, and the fourth princess of Beiliang Kingdom will marry Gu Yan as the wife of the prince. I hope you two can sing in harmony! This is yours!"

As soon as the imperial decree came out, all the courtiers were in an uproar, only Gu Yan and the envoys from Beiliang showed no surprise.Obviously, these two people already knew about it.

The emperor said again: "Gu Aiqing, now your parents and family members are in Northern Xinjiang, I have already discussed with the Beiliang envoy, you will leave tomorrow to Northern Xinjiang to get married!"

"Thank you, Majesty Long En!" Gu Yan knelt down.

And the emperor winked at Du Hai again.

Du Hai said again: "His Royal Highness, Duke Ding accepts the decree! In accordance with heaven's promise, the emperor said: Today, the second daughter of Duke Ding is given to King Jin as a side concubine, and we will marry at a certain date! I respect you!"

Once this imperial decree came out again, all kinds of expressions on the faces of the courtiers could be described as colorful!Some were happy, some were angry, some were jealous, some were disdainful, and more, they looked at King Jin with disdain!
As soon as the emperor's decree came out, it was immediately clear whether it was high or low!

The emperor's will for Gu Yan was to 'marry the four princesses', and the will for King Jin was: give King Jin the side concubine!A 'gift' is enough to show that the status of the second daughter of Duke Ding is too low!But a concubine was actually accused of being a side concubine to the prince!Is this elevating Dingguo's mansion, or belittling King Jin?
The emperor's mind has always been difficult to guess, and now such an incident happened again, which really caught everyone by surprise!This Gu Yan didn't mean to be surprised, obviously he got the emperor's hint long ago, what does this mean?

Everyone left the morning court with their own thoughts, but Gu Yan was directly brought to the Pingnan Houfu by Su Wei.

Su Wei asked with a serious face: "What's going on? Why did the emperor suddenly call you back to Beijing?"

On the contrary, Gu Yan said with a relaxed expression: "Uncle, don't worry! My nephew didn't arrive in the capital just today. My nephew arrived in Beijing four days ago."

"What?" Su Wei was startled, "Is it the emperor's will?"

"This is natural. Without the emperor's will, who would dare to leave the northern border?"

Su Wei bowed his head and pondered for a moment. He arrived in Beijing four days ago. It would take six or seven days to get to Northern Xinjiang from here, even if he used a fast horse. Could it be?Su Wei asked: "You mean, the emperor intended to betroth the fourth princess to you?"

Gu Yan nodded, "The emperor sent me a secret decree. After I returned to Beijing, I followed the emperor's instructions. I think the emperor has already thought about this move!"

Su Wei glanced at Gu Yan, "Do your parents know about this?"

Gu Yan shook his head, "Since it's a secret decree, how can we let them know?"

Su Wei sighed: "The emperor's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess! Forget it, you are going back to northern Xinjiang tomorrow, go and see your aunt and cousin."

Gu Yan arrived at Jingyi's yard, "What book is Yiyi reading?"

Jingyi saw that it was him, and said with a smile: "Cousin is finally willing to show up?"

As soon as Jingyi said this, Gu Yan immediately realized that something was wrong, and his face darkened!Jing Yi didn't take it seriously, and said to the people around her: "You all go down. I'll talk to my cousin."

Except for Siqin and Sihua, everyone else withdrew.

Gu Yan glanced at the two maidservants, and said softly, "Is Yiyi well informed?"

Jingyi smiled and said: "Cousin, speaking of it, you are the one who made Yiyi perfect! Cousin, please accept Yiyi's bow!"

Gu Yan was puzzled and asked, "Yiyi, what does this mean?"

Jingyi looked at Gu Yan: "Cousin, do you know that I am about to marry Prince Ping?"

Gu Yan nodded, "I heard."

"Cousin, the emperor originally planned to point the four princesses to King Ping. King Ping begged the emperor for a few hours before letting the emperor relax. I thought that the four princesses had nothing to do with us. But, King Jin But I don’t know what method was used, and the fourth princess was asked to tell the emperor that she would marry the elder brother as his wife! Cousin, elder brother and elder sister Cui have an engagement, you know it. The fourth princess’s trouble, what is the king of Jin? What is An's mind? You can't see it?"

Gu Yan was slightly stunned, "I didn't know there was such a thing."

Jingyi said again: "Cousin, the four princesses must have reached some kind of agreement with the King of Jin. Now that the emperor has given you a marriage, naturally there is no other possibility. You still have to be more careful. Don't let My pillow has been deceived."

Gu Yan thought for a while, then looked at Jingyi, "How do you know that I have already returned to the capital?"

"Cousin, if you don't tell, or even show up in front of people, it doesn't mean that no one will know that you are back. I dare say that, except for me, even the Empress and King Ming know that you have returned to the capital, but when you know , it's already a bit late."

Gu Yan looked at this cousin in front of him, she was already slim, with a faintly elegant Tsinghua!Just like the hibiscus in the water, people can't forget it after just one glance!Jingyi never likes to wear too luxurious or cumbersome headgear!Today is also the same, only a jasper hairpin is inserted on the head, and there are no other accessories. It seems simple, but it reveals an indescribable elegance!The thick bookish look between the brows, and the elegance in the gestures, are indescribably elegant!

"Yiyi, tell me the truth, but King Ping gave you the news?"

Jing Yi smiled lightly: "Could it be that my cousin thinks that King Ping is already so powerful?"

Gu Yan's expression froze!Everyone knows that Prince Ping is the least favored, even this time the conferment of the king has been delayed again and again, and the fief granted is still the poorest place in Dayuan!And as soon as the Double Ninth Festival is over, get up and rush to seal the city!Will such a prince be powerful?
Gu Yan shook his head, he certainly didn't believe it!Without the support of the emperor, how can you form your own power?Even if it is established, I'm afraid, it's just a small role!

Jingyi said again: "Cousin, you didn't guess! The news of your return to Beijing was not told to me by others, but I guessed it myself."

"Guess what?"

"Hehe." Jingyi said with a light smile: "How could the emperor give you a marriage order for no reason? It must have been arranged a long time ago, didn't it? The emperor always likes to do things unexpectedly, and beats people by surprise. Yes! It’s like a marriage gift between me and King Ping! What do you think?”

Gu Yan was startled!Can you think of so much with just such a small detail?My cousin is really delicate!
"Cousin, you have to write down what I said to you today. Before you know the true intentions of the fourth princess, you'd better take more precautions! To avoid being in a passive state!"
