Chapter 273： Utility (one more)

Chapter 273 Utility (one more)

Chu You heard the words, the sharp and cold eyebrows softened a little, and his heart was moved, as if containing honey.

He knew that his son-in-law had a noble heart, and he didn't like intrigue, mutual calculation, or pretending to be a snake, but he was willing to lower his body and do things that she disdained for him.

Chu You looked at Gu Yunxiang's back affectionately, watched her cross the high threshold and entered through the corner door.

There were seven or eight carriages parked at the gate of the Gu Mansion. People came and went. The boxes were still being carried out of the mansion one by one.

Chu You turned a blind eye to this.

He casually touched the mounts beside him, thinking about Gu Yunxiang, their wedding date, and the big wedding dress that the Slijian had sent him to try on two days ago. Also mentioning the phoenix crown is almost healed.

Soon, he could see his son-in-law, wearing a red dress and covering his head, riding a sedan chair to his side...

Chu You's heart was hot, looking in the direction of the gate, Gu Yunchang came back not long after, she walked in front of Chu You in three steps and two steps, and whispered: "It's Mrs. Wei and the Marquis of Ji'an who are here. lady."

Chu You couldn't help being a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows on the lower side and looked towards the east corner gate again. At this time, he couldn't see the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

He gently turned the jade finger on his thumb and said solemnly, "The Duke of Wei impeached the Marquis of Ji'an, Xuyan, the day before yesterday."

"It is said that the Marquis of Ji'an colluded with the bandits, occupied Wushan by force, and burned, killed and looted in the nearby villages and towns, occupying the land for the king, and the crime was extremely heinous. Please allow the emperor to lead his troops to encircle and suppress it."

"And ask the emperor to decide, and allow his sister and Ji'an Hou Yijue."

While speaking, Chu You's dark eyes sank, and a bit of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

This incident is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing an uproar in the whole court.

In the past two days, Chao Shang has also speculated a lot about this matter. Many people ran to test Duke Wei's tone, but Duke Wei's mouth was like a river mussel and he refused to say a word. The government closed the door to thank guests.

Just like the aristocratic family has formed its own faction in the court, these nobles and honors based on military merit have always been in a group, and now Duke Wei has inexplicably impeached his brother-in-law.

On the surface, Duke Wei said that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he wanted to kill his relatives righteously. However, Chu You had doubts about this.

Gu Jian was deprived of the title and then dismissed, and the news of the second room was blocked a lot. Naturally, Gu Yunchang had no way of knowing about these court affairs. At this moment, she knew about it, and she said in surprise and puzzled: "The Marquis of Ji'an colluded with Liu Liu. bandit?"

"They are a good mansion, what are they doing to collude with the bandits?"

"That doesn't make sense at all...Wait!"

Gu Yunchang murmured to himself for a while, and suddenly, with his eyes slightly opened, he grabbed Chu You's wrist and said emphatically, "The one who just came with Mrs. Wei Guogong is Mrs. Ji'an Hou!"

Chu You lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Yunxiang's jade hand holding his wrist. Her fingers were so slender, their roots were like jade, and her lustrous fingernails were like petals, shining like pearls.

Gu Yunchang looked thoughtfully into the gate and in the direction of Yuheng Garden, even if she stood here, she couldn't see Yuheng Garden at all, let alone the people in Yuheng Garden.

"My lord, do you think my second sister got involved in this incident again?"

When these words were said, the answer already appeared in Gu Yunxiang's heart.

Nine times out of ten, this is the case.

This Gu Yanfei is really going too far!

After being reminded by Gu Yunxiang, Chu You also began to consider this possibility, and his fingertips rubbed the pattern on the jade wrench. "

Gu Yunchang lightly frowned, looked up at Chu You's handsome face, and said worriedly, "My lord, my second sister has a close relationship with the first prince..."

"Maybe the eldest prince is behind the scenes and wants to get on the prince's head!"

Chu You saw that Gu Yunxuan cared so much about himself, and he felt more and more useful in his heart, so he comforted the beautiful woman: "Don't worry, I have no contact with Ji'an Hou."

"And..." His thin lips twitched into a smile, and he said slowly, "Chu Yi will soon be overwhelmed."

"Huh?" Gu Yunchang blinked, his long eyelashes fluttering twice.

Chu You sneered: "Bai Liyin proposed a marriage between the two countries, and promised Chu Yi the Eighth Princess of Yue Kingdom."

Does Gu Yanfei know about this? Gu Yunchang couldn't help but think, an indescribable complex feeling gradually appeared in his heart, and he asked, "The emperor agreed?"

From Chu You's standpoint, if this marriage is done, it means that Chu Yi will get support from the country of Yue.

Fortunately, Chu Yi refused.

It seemed that Chu Yi liked that Gu Yanfei even more than he expected.

is also good!

It just happened to let the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world see how Chu Yi was unwilling to marry the country of Vietnam regardless of the peace of the two countries for his own selfishness.

Chu You explained the benefits to Gu Yunchang in detail, and finally said: "Once things get serious and the emperor wants to appease the dissatisfaction of the court, he has to make concessions."

Chu You will not let Chu Yi marry the Eighth Princess of Yue Kingdom. so……

"The best result is that the emperor chooses a noble girl from the family as his concubine."

"Unless, Chu Yi doesn't want the country for the sake of beauty."

Chu You raised his lips mockingly.

Gu Yunxiang whispered with a sigh, "Then my second sister can only be a concubine?"

Gu Yunchang couldn't help but feel a trace of joy, it was a joy that welled up from the bottom of his heart.

She had persuaded Gu Yanfei long ago...

Her eyes were very complex, sympathetic, sighing, and mixed with deep disapproval.

Chu You raised his eyes and glanced at the plaque in front of him that only had the word "Gu Fu", and sneered contemptuously, "Is she worthy of being the prince and concubine?"

"She's not like you."

Gu Yunchang followed his gaze and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Today is not what it used to be. The current Gu family has no title and is just a mansion of a fourth-rank military general. There are countless mansions like this in Beijing. With Gu Yanfei's current status, how can he be worthy of the position of the first prince concubine!

It is ironic that Gu Yanfei deliberately caused the Gu family to lose the title for revenge. I wonder if she ever thought that she would end up like this?

People can't be too utilitarian, and marriage matters should focus on mutual affection, not as a bargaining chip.

If Gu Yanfei provokes others, it's fine, she doesn't want to be a concubine, that's a word, no one can force a girl from an official family as a concubine.

Gu Yanfei had to get close to the eldest prince in order to compare with herself, and provoke the royal family, so she could not help being a concubine or not, after all, the eldest prince was not someone she could easily abandon.

Originally, Gu Yanfei could marry a good family with the right family and be the principal.

"嫆'er, you are just too soft-hearted." Chu You looked down at her jade-white face, and his heart was hot.

At this time, the last lift of the box was carried out by two servants with a pole, and the cage was so heavy that even the pole was bent.

Wang sighed in relief after telling the little servant to handle it with care, making sure that the box was safely placed on the last carriage.

Gu Jian and Wang's couple walked over, surrounded by several maids, Gu Jian smiled attentively and said to Chu You: "Today, I'm really ashamed to bother the prince to pick us up."

"We're all done here, we can go."

Gu Jian was born in this mansion, grew up in this mansion, married a wife, had children, and lived for more than 30 years.

However, when he faced Chu You at this moment, he didn't show the slightest, for fear that Chu You would be disgusted and resentful.

In any case, Chu You's willingness to run this trip for Gu Yunxiang's face is already a big face for Erfangtian.

Chu You politely replied, "It's all a family", and then personally helped Gu Yunchang into the second carriage, while Gu Jian and Wang's got into the first carriage.

Chu You personally escorted them to the house in Luwei Hutong in the west of the city. Knowing that they were busy packing up the new house and arranging the boxes, they didn't stay for long.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.

Next, Chu You instructed his subordinates to inquire about why Mrs. Wei Guogong and the others went to Gu Mansion.

The dark guards sent by Chu You stared at Gu Mansion for a few days, but in the end, they didn't hear anything, only that the eldest prince Chu Yi personally came to Gu Mansion to pick up Gu Yanfei out of the house.

Chu Yi took Gu Yanfei to an imperial village in the suburbs of Beijing.

The two of them rode their horses all the way to the west. The suburban scenery in early spring was beautiful, wild flowers and wild grasses bloomed recklessly.

Huangzhuang is located at the foot of Xiling Mountain, which is about 20 miles away from the capital. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Huangzhuang not only contains dozens of acres of fertile fields, but also has a river surrounding the farmland at the foot of the mountain. The rolling hills in the back are lush and lush, and the scenery is beautiful, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The steward of Huangzhuang was a middle-aged servant in his forties. He had been warned in advance and knew that the eldest prince was coming today, so he brought a group of servants and maids to wait at Zhuangzikou early in the morning.

As soon as Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei arrived, the middle-aged servant greeted them diligently and greeted the two on horseback with smiles: "His Royal Highness, Miss Gu, please come in."

The middle-aged servant ordered the horses to be installed, and then personally led the two of them to the village.

Compared with the vastness and splendor outside, Zhuangzili is another cave.

Gu Yanfei looked around casually as he walked, his whole body was extremely relaxed and happy, his bright eyes were kind, and he looked forward to brilliance.

Chu Yiqing's voice like the wind suddenly came from his ear: "It's still early, let's go to the bird forest in the back first?"

Gu Yanfei turned his head to look at him, and the long purple hairband flew up, just across his raised right hand, he grabbed the hairband between his fingers with a backhand.

The    hairband is a bright bright purple, reflecting off his slender fingers as white as jade, with a thrilling beauty.

He obviously didn't touch her, but Gu Yanfei had an inexplicable feeling, as if the hair band had become a part of her, and his ears were slightly hot.
