Gu Baiyu ate some of the dishes on the table under Lingyu's service.

The food was still warm and tasted very good, which made Gu Baiyu's stomach, which had been empty since morning, feel satisfied.

Gu Baiyu didn't eat too much. He stopped using his chopsticks when he was almost done. The little maid standing outside knew the rules very well. When he saw Lingyu coming out with the used bowls and chopsticks, she asked Gu Baiyu. After getting permission, she could put the food and food on the table in the room. He put away the bowls and chopsticks, and then said: "Madam, is the food to your liking? Do you think the next meal will come from the kitchen, or do you have something you like?"

Gu Baiyu was not picky, so he ordered just follow what the kitchen prepared in advance.

The little maid responded respectfully and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seemed that Madam was a very easy-going character. Thinking of this, she felt a little kinder in her heart and said proactively: "Madam, if you are free, you can take a look inside the room." Is the decoration satisfactory? The old butler arranged it according to the instructions of the Marquis."

After the little maid reminded her, Gu Baiyu remembered to take a good look at the wedding room through the bead curtain.

The room was very spacious, and it was full of red. There were auspicious patterns such as the word "happiness" and mandarin ducks playing in the water, dragons and phoenixes crossing their necks everywhere. The other furniture in the room was also arranged very neatly. Gu Baiyu looked carefully and found that there were large pieces of furniture. They are all placed according to the convenient position in her room. Even the rouge, gouache, comb and hair accessories prepared on the dressing table are placed as she would in the boudoir.

Gu Baiyu felt warm in his heart.

Maybe Xiao Yanlin was afraid that she wouldn't be accustomed to the new environment?

But doing this step is really considerate, and I can't help but feel more satisfied.

Gu Baiyu was thinking and observing the indoor layout. Unknowingly, two quarters of an hour later, the old housekeeper's voice came from outside the room.

Lingyu went out to inquire and learned that the old housekeeper came to deliver the message in the name of Xiao Yanlin.

"The Marquis said that if Madam is sleepy, she can take a nap and don't have to worry about the rules. If she can't sleep and is not used to it, the Marquis put some gadgets in the cabinet next to Madam's bed so that Madam can pass the time."

After sending the old housekeeper away, Lingyu fumbled and opened the cabinet next to the bed, and there was indeed something in it.

When Gu Baiyu saw it, he felt that he couldn't laugh or cry. It was very heart-warming.

There are several books in the cabinet, including serious books that she usually reads, as well as a few popular popular novels in Kyoto; there are a few wooden trinkets in the corner, which Gu Baiyu vaguely remembers playing with when she was a child; I even saw a box of small meatballs with a sweet and sour taste. They should be digestion meatballs made from hawthorn.

Are you treating her like a child?

Gu Baiyu fiddled with the wood carvings, and finally took out a storybook. When he picked it up, a small gold and jade ornament next to the storybook caught Gu Baiyu's attention.

Gu Baiyu studied for a while and finally found that this little thing could just fit on both sides of Fengguan's bead curtain. The swaying bead curtain would not affect his reading.

Gu Baiyu was stunned. No wonder the jewelry was not placed on the dressing table. It turned out to be convenient for her to read.

Lingyu on the side became more and more satisfied with Xiao Yanlin as she looked at him. The consideration and attention paid to her young lady were so meticulous.

Gu Baiyu felt warm in her heart and was stunned for a long time. She put away her thoughts and slowly opened the book, calming down and preparing to kill some time.

Here, people were drinking and drinking in the front yard of the Hou Mansion. Xiao Yanlin was having a drink with all the guests, Gu Baiyu was comfortable in the wedding room, but Gu Ruan Ruan in the Prime Minister's Mansion over there was not so comfortable.

After being humiliated by Xiao Yanlin at the door and being scolded severely, and after learning that the second prince could not come, Gu Baiyu was completely shocked by the news. He returned to the room and threw things hard and had a fit, but he still didn't feel angry. .

It wasn't until noon that Licorice knocked on the door cautiously, saying that he had something important to report.

Suddenly there was a loud crashing sound in the room, and a moment later a teapot smashed against the door with a bang, and the tea splashed on the floor.

Licorice was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak. After making sure that things calmed down, she said with a trembling tone: "Second Miss, don't be angry, the Second Prince is here!"

The door opened with a crash, and Gu Ruanruan glared at Licorice fiercely: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier? You came to see me too, didn't you?!"

Licorice dared not speak out in anger, so she had no choice but to follow Gu Ruanruan to the front yard. To their surprise, they were not blocked at all.

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw the second prince, dressed in bright yellow clothes, sitting in the front yard, drinking tea alone. There were nervous guests around him, but no one came forward to talk.

Gu Ruanruan frowned slightly: "What's going on? The second prince is here in person, and these people don't even go to see him, even if they are flattering?

Licorice had just been scolded, so he stammered and explained: "The master has met the second prince, drank a cup of tea, and said that today is a great day for me, but... but I was angry, if the second prince wants I'm welcome to see you as you like. The master has gone back to rest. Most of the guests were taken to the Marquis Mansion to have a drink. The rest... maybe the second prince has a distinguished status, so they don't dare to talk. .”

Licorice spoke vaguely, how could Gu Ruanruan not understand? It was obvious that everyone with status and status had gone to Gu Ruanruan's side, and the remaining little shrimps didn't dare to move forward at all!

As for Prime Minister Gu... He has already fallen out, and the concubine only listens to what outsiders say, so why should he pretend to entertain her!

Gu Ruanruan's face turned blue and white, and she felt like the whole world was against her!

Okay, okay, in that case...

Since everyone was going against her, she had to live a life that everyone would envy!

Gu Ruanruan strangely regained his emotions for a moment, adjusted the expression on his face, and greeted him with a smile.

The second prince, who was sitting in the upper position, originally felt very displeased at being slighted. He also felt that he had broken his promise and failed to come over in time. He felt very depressed. He was thinking that if Gu Ruanruan didn't understand the situation again, don't blame him for being rude.

However, Gu Ruanruan came over with a smile on his face and a gentle tone of voice. He only cared about whether the gangster that Xiao Yanlin mentioned caused trouble to the second prince, and said nothing about his failure to show up on time today.

Only then did the second prince feel a little better. He waved his hand proactively and said, "I am a little late today, but don't worry. I will personally send you to the Marquis Mansion later. No one dares to look down on you." you."

When Gu Ruanruan heard this, his heart moved. If this was really the case, it would be a great success if the prince of the current dynasty personally went out to deliver the wedding.

Gu Ruanruan thought carefully in her mind that if she could find a way to keep the second prince later, she and Xiao Ruoping would personally toast the second prince a glass of wine, which would be of great benefit to both her and Xiao Ruoping.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruanruan's tone became gentler: "Thank you to the second prince. I am not taken seriously by my family because of my humble background. I really want to thank the second prince for supporting me today. The second prince has helped me so much this time, and Ruan Ruan will definitely repay me well in the future."

The second prince was overjoyed. He had tasted the benefits of the waterwheel incident before. Although he didn't know how a woman like Gu Ruanruan had such ability, but as long as there were more of these things, wouldn't he worry that he would not be loved by his father? ?

At that moment, I felt so happy that I waved my hand and ordered someone to tell Prime Minister Gu that he would personally marry Gu Ruanruan today!

A moment later, Gu Ruanruan's Ma Cha followed the second prince, followed by a mighty dowry procession, and rushed to the Hou Mansion.

There were many curious people along the way. After hearing that this was the marriage of the second young lady of the Gu family, they were also surprised that a concubine would be in such a grand ceremony. She must have been highly valued by her husband's family.

This finally made Gu Ruanruan on the carriage feel much better.

However, at this time, Gu Ruanruan and the second prince did not know that in the Marquis Mansion today, not only was His Majesty the Emperor personally attending the ceremony for the newlyweds, but also the highly respected Taifu and his wife appeared. He, the second prince, was really not that rare. figure!

At this time, both of them were very ambitious. The second prince was thinking about how he could hurt Xiao Yanlin's face when he went to the Hou Mansion, so as to repay Xiao Yanlin for plotting against him behind his back by catching the thief today;

Gu Ruanruan was immersed in fantasy, and kept thinking about how the guests would be envious and frightened when they saw the second prince marrying her in person. From now on, she would be able to speak tougher words in the Hou Mansion.

Gu Baiyu is so beautiful today. I wonder what everyone's expressions will be when they see her as a concubine, who is even more grand than Gu Baiyu, the head wife...

Both of them were immersed in their beautiful fantasies, so they arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion. After calling for a long time and no one came to answer, the second prince angrily pointed at the porter's nose and cursed: "Open your eyes and see who this king is! What happened today?" Who else is more noble than me at the banquet, how dare he let me wait like this, and let Xiao Yanlin come out to greet me in person!"

The concierge kept complaining, and seeing that he could no longer stop the second prince, he had to report it in person. It was a coincidence that Xiao Yanlin was drinking with the emperor at this moment. The emperor was rarely in the mood to drink with others. He was just happy, and heard the concierge beside him. Report the situation outside the door cautiously.

"Master Marquis, the second, second prince said that he is the most distinguished guest today, and asked you to... then go out and greet him personally..."

The emperor was originally in a good mood and had no reaction when he heard that his son was coming. He just wanted to let him in. Who would have thought that he would be trying to get in trouble with his face like this!

No wonder the emperor was so angry. The second prince always pretended to be close to the country and the people. Even if he knew it was a show, the emperor thought that his son would not act too arrogantly. Unexpectedly, when he heard this today, He is so arrogant outside!

Looking at Xiao Yanlin's expression again, the smile had faded from his eyes, and the emperor felt that this son was simply ridiculous to the extreme!

Who is Xiao Yanlin? The ever-victorious general who has risen through the ranks with his military exploits, the God of War in Daye! Let’s not talk about his reputation among the people, which makes the emperor even a little bit jealous. Let’s talk about the actual military power in his hands and his military talents. As his son, the second prince should respect Corporal Xiao Yanlin Li Xian. In the future, he can Take the initiative on the matter of military power.

But now?

Look what a fool this is!

The emperor's expression suddenly turned ugly. Xiao Yanlin looked calm and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will welcome the second prince in first. Please do not neglect our distinguished guests."

Xiao Yanlin didn't say it was okay, but when he did, the emperor's face became even more gloomy.

Arrogant kid! Do you still claim to be noble and take him as your father and the lord of the world in your eyes? !

He was furious at the moment: "My dear, there is no need to go there."

After saying that, he turned to the personal eunuch on the side and said, "Let that scoundrel come in by himself!"

The imperial concubine quickly grabbed the emperor: "Your Majesty, asking Eunuch Zhou to go in person will make the second prince look bad. After all, it is your child. Although there was some mischief today, there are so many people. Your Majesty must leave a child for the child." Isn’t it about saving face?”

The emperor reached this level, snorted, and turned to the concierge: "Then you go ahead."

The porter tremblingly went out to reply. Concubine Zhou beside her pulled the emperor to sit down, with a hint of joking flashing in her eyes.

The emperor wanted to come to Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu's wedding in person. Naturally, someone in the harem knew about it, such as herself and the queen;

But the two of them were not on the same page as the second prince, and knowing that the second prince now had a close personal relationship with Gu Ruanruan, they naturally would not tell him. They were all waiting to see the joke.

The concierge originally did not dare to hide the news of the emperor's presence from the second prince, but if he read it correctly...

When leaving, the Marquis clearly looked at him, meaning to tell him to hide it!

The porter thought of the way the second prince pointed at him and cursed at the door just now, and he felt resentment in his heart. He said to himself that the emperor had not said that he must tell the second prince that he was present anyway, and the Marquis had given him the signal, so he would follow the Marquis' wishes. Come on!

So my heart skipped a beat, and when I saw the second prince again, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant: "My Marquis is receiving distinguished guests, please let the second prince go in alone!"

The second prince's nose was so angry right now!

"Xiao Yanlin! How dare he look down on me! I want to see who he is, who is more noble than him, the current prince!"

I have to say that sometimes when people are carried away, there is really no sense at all, such as the second prince.

If he could calm down for even a moment now, he should have thought that Xiao Yanlin was not the kind of person who would trust others. He said that the guests he was receiving were more noble than the second prince, so he was really much more noble than the second prince. Just think about it for a moment, When we think about Xiao Yanlin's frequent visits to the Imperial Study Room recently despite having no military duties, we should get a glimpse of the truth;

However, the second prince was completely overwhelmed by anger. How could he think about it so much?

Gu Ruanruan's eyelids twitched in the carriage behind him, and he subconsciously felt uneasy, so he opened the carriage curtain to comfort him.

However, he never wanted to be angered by the second prince. He immediately pointed at Gu Ruanruan and cursed: "You are also a follower of others. I will bring you in, and you are so scared! If you don't have the courage, you might as well go back now." Prime Minister's Mansion, just wait for Xiao Ruoping to pick you up in a small sedan in the evening like a brothel, why bother licking your face and following this king through the main entrance now? Eat what you have to eat!"

Gu Ruanruan was scolded in front of everyone. He couldn't keep it off his face and lowered the curtain angrily.

Outside, Licorice asked in a low voice: "Miss, the Second Prince Xiao didn't come to pick you up either. Should we follow the Second Prince in?"

After all, it was the second prince's words of "brothel stuff" that touched Gu Ruanruan's sore feet. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Come in! Follow the second prince to the main entrance!"

When the second prince saw this, he was even more disdainful of Gu Ruanruan. He walked in front with his head held high, and Gu Ruanruan's sedan was also carried in.

The emperor was coaxed by Concubine Zhou's gentle words, and he finally felt a little more at ease. Unexpectedly, he had just picked up a glass of wine when he heard a familiar and arrogant voice coming from the outer courtyard.

"Get away from me! I want to see who is so bold today and dares to disgrace me!"

The expression on the emperor's face was almost distorted, and Concubine Zhou could hardly hold back her laughter.

But after all, she is a woman who got out of the harem. She pretends to be very good, but her tone is a little too jealous: "Hey, the second prince definitely didn't mean it! Your Majesty, don't be angry. Don't let the child lose face later." good......"
