When Chu You heard this, his sharp, cold and hard eyebrows became softer, and his heart was moved, as if he had honey.
He knew that his son was noble in nature, and did not like to intrigue, to plot against each other, and to think of snakes, but he was willing to lower his figure for him and do things that she disdained.
Chu You looked at Gu Yun's back affectionately, watched her cross the high threshold and enter the corner gate.
Seven or eight carriages were parked at the gate of Gu's mansion, and people were coming and going. The boxes were still carried out from the mansion in a box, and under the command of the nanny in charge, they were carried on the corresponding carriages respectively.
Chu You ignored this.
He touched the mount beside him casually, thinking about Gu Yunhao, their wedding date, and thinking about Silijian giving him a wedding dress two days ago. At that time, the person from Silijian even brought up the phoenix crown and was about to get better.
Soon, he could see his father coming to him in a sedan chair in a big red wedding dress, wearing a veil covering his head...
Chu You felt hot and looked at the direction of the gate. Gu Yun'er came back in a short while. She walked to Chu You in three steps and whispered: "They are coming from the Duke of Wei and the Madam of Ji'an."
Chu You couldn't help but be a little surprised. He raised his sword eyebrows and looked towards the east corner gate again. At this time, there was no carriage from the Duke's Mansion there.
He gently turned the jade ring on his thumb and said in a deep voice: "Duke of Wei impeached Xu Yan, Marquis of Ji'an the day before yesterday."
"It is said that the Marquis of Ji'an colluded with bandits and occupied Wushan, burned, killed and looted in nearby villages and towns, and occupied land as kings. He was extremely guilty. Please allow the emperor to lead his troops to encircle and suppress them."
"And ask the emperor to take charge and allow his sister to join the Hou Yijue in Ji'an."
As he spoke, Chu You's dark eyes sank, and a hint of intent flashed in his eyes.
This incident was like a stone causing a thousand waves, causing an uproar in the whole court.
In the past two days, the court has been speculating about this matter, and many people have gone to test Duke Wei's words, but Duke Wei's mouth is like a river clam and he is reluctant to say more, and Duke Wei's mansion even closed the door to thank guests.
Just like a noble family formed their own faction in the court, these nobles who made their military achievements have always been united. Now the Duke of Wei inexplicably impeached his brother-in-law.
On the surface, Duke Wei was very righteous and seemed to be trying to destroy his relatives for the sake of justice. However, Chu You had doubts about this.
Gu Jian was taken away from his post and dismissed from his post. The news of the second house suddenly became much blocked. Gu Yunhao naturally had no way of knowing these affairs. Only then did she know about this matter. She said in surprise and puzzledly: "Marquis Ji'an colluded with bandits?"
"What are they doing when they are a good marquis' mansion? "
"This makes no sense at all...wait!"
Gu Yunhao murmured for a while, and suddenly, his eyes opened slightly, grabbed Chu You's wrist, and said with emphasis: "The one who came with the Duke of Wei just now was Mrs. Ji'an!"
Chu You lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Yun's jade hand holding his wrist. Her fingers were so slender, with jade roots, and their luster was like petals, shining with pearl-like luster.
Gu Yun'an looked thoughtfully into the gate and looked in the direction of Yuhengyuan. Even if she stood here, she could not see Yuhengyuan at all, let alone the people in Yuhengyuan.
"Prince, do you think this matter will be caused by my second sister?"
When this sentence was said, the answer had already emerged in Gu Yun'an's mind.
This is probably the case.
This Gu Yanfei is getting more and more excessive!
After being reminded by Gu Yunhao, Chu You also began to consider this possibility, rubbing the lines on the jade ring with his fingertips."
Gu Yun'an frowned lightly, stared at Chu You's handsome face, and said worriedly: "Prince, my second sister has a close relationship with the eldest prince..."
"Maybe the eldest prince is making trouble behind this matter and wants to get to the prince's head!"
Seeing that Gu Yunhao cared about him so much, Chu You felt more and more enjoyable in his heart, so he comforted the beauty: "Don't worry, Lao'er, I have no contact with Ji'an Hou Su."
"And..." His thin lips curled up a smile and said slowly, "Chu Yi will soon be out of his mind."
"Ah?" Gu Yun'an blinked, and his slender eyelashes swelled twice.
Chu You sneered: "Baili Yin proposed a marriage between the two countries and promised the Eighth Princess of Yue to Chu Yi."
Does Gu Yanfei know about this? Gu Yunhao couldn't help thinking, and a complicated feeling gradually appeared in his heart that was indescribable and asked, "Did the emperor agree?"
From Chu You's standpoint, if this marriage is successful, it means that Chu Yi will receive support from Yue Kingdom.
Fortunately, Chu Yi refused.
It seems that Chu Yi liked Gu Yanfei more than he expected.
Good too!
It just so happened that all the civil and military officials in the court and the people of the world saw how Chu Yi ignored the peace between the two countries and refused to marry the Yue Kingdom for his own selfishness.
Chu You explained the pros and cons to Gu Yunhao in detail, and finally said: "Once the matter is big, the emperor will have to give in to the dissatisfaction of the court if he wants to calm down the dissatisfaction in the court."
Chu You would not let Chu Yi marry the Eighth Princess of Yue Kingdom. So...
"The best result is that the emperor chooses a noble daughter from the aristocratic family as the official concubine."
"Unless, Chu Yi doesn't want to be a country for the sake of the beauty."
Chu You raised his lips sarcastically.
Gu Yun'er sighed with a hint of praise and said softly: "Then isn't my second sister only for her concubine?"
Gu Yunhao couldn't help but feel a little happy, which was a kind of joy that surged from the bottom of his heart.
She had already persuaded Gu Yanfei...
Her eyes were very complicated, sympathetic, sighing, and at the same time, mixed with deep disapproval.
Chu You looked up at the plaque with only two words "Gu Mansion" in front of him, and sneered contemptuously: "Is she worthy of being the prince's concubine?"
"She is different from you."
Gu Yun'an followed his gaze and said softly: "Yes."
Today is different. The Gu family has no titles now, but it is just a residence of a fourth-rank military general. There are countless residences like this in the capital. With Gu Yanfei's current identity, how can he be worthy of the position of the eldest prince's concubine!
To be ironic, Gu Yanfei deliberately caused the Gu family to lose their title in order to retaliate. I wonder if she had ever thought that she would end like this now?
People should not be too utilitarian. Major marriages should pay attention to mutual affection and should not be used as a bargaining chip.
It would be fine if Gu Yanfei provoked others. She didn't want to be a concubine, just a matter of one word. No one could force a girl from an official family to be a concubine.
But in order to compete with him, Gu Yanfei insisted on getting close to the eldest prince. After all, she had to be willing to be a concubine. After all, the eldest prince is not the one she can abandon.
Originally, Gu Yanfei could marry a good family with a good family and become a real wife.
"Oh, you are just too soft-hearted." Chu You looked down at her white little face, his heart was getting hot.
At this time, the last box was lifted by two servants with shoulder poles. The cage was so heavy that even the shoulder poles were bent.
Wang asked the servant to take it with peace of mind, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he made sure that the box was placed on the last carriage.
Gu Jian and Wang and his wife came over surrounded by several nannies and maids. Gu Jian said to Chu You with a smile and attentive voice: "I am really ashamed to bother the prince to come to pick us up today."
"We are all ready and can leave."
Gu Jian was born in this mansion and grew up in this mansion. He married and had children. He lived for more than 30 years. Now he is reluctant to leave and even more unwilling to move away from here.
However, when he faced Chu You at this moment, he was not able to show any of it, for fear that Chu You would get sick and disgusted.
In any case, Chu You was willing to go for Gu Yun'an's face, which was already a great face for the second wife.
Chu You politely replied, "It's all a family", and then personally helped Gu Yun'an get on the second carriage. As for Gu Jian and Wang, they got on the first carriage in the front.
Chu You personally escorted them to the house in Luwei Hutong in the west of the city. He knew that they were busy cleaning up their new house and tidying up their boxes and cages, so he didn't stay for long.
Come and go in a hurry.
Next, Chu You ordered his subordinates to inquire about why the Duke of Wei and the others went to Gu's Mansion.
The secret guard sent by Chu You stared in front of Gu's mansion for a few days, but found nothing, and only stared at the eldest prince Chu Yi personally came to pick Gu Yanfei out of the house.
Chu Yi picked Gu Yanfei up to an imperial village in the suburbs of Beijing.
The two rode their horses all the way west. The scenery in the suburbs in early spring was beautiful, with wild flowers and grass blooming freely, which was quite comfortable as "the flowers gradually became charming, and only shallow grass do not have horse hooves."
The imperial village is located at the foot of Xiling Mountain, about twenty miles away from the capital. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The imperial village not only contains dozens of acres of fertile land, but also a river surrounds the farm at the foot of the mountain. The water waves are rippling. You can see the rolling mountains behind the village at a glance, lush and green, beautiful scenery, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
The manager of the imperial village was a middle-aged eunuch in his forties. He had already received the advice in advance and knew that the eldest prince was coming today, so he had already brought a group of servants and girls to the entrance of the village early in the morning.
As soon as Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei arrived, the middle-aged eunuch came up diligently and saluted the two of them on the horse with a smile: "Your Highness, Miss Gu, please come in there."
The middle-aged eunuch ordered people to place horses, and then took the two of them to the farm in person.
Compared to the vastness and magnificence outside, the village is another world. The layout is unique and the layout is grand and grand, with green walls and black tiles and quiet flowers and trees.
Gu Yanfei walked casually while looking around, his whole body was extremely relaxed and happy, his bright eyes were kind and his eyes shining brightly.
Suddenly, Chu Yi's clear voice roaring like the wind came from his ears: "It's still early, let's go to the Bird Forest behind first?"
Gu Yanfei turned his head to look at him, and the long purple hairband flew up and just passed through his raised right hand. He grabbed the hairband between his fingers with his backhand.
The hairband is bright purple, which contrasts with his slender white fingers, and has a thrilling beauty.
He obviously didn't touch her, but Gu Yanfei felt inexplicably, as if the hairband had also become part of her, and his ears were slightly hot.
