The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

At this time, guests arrived one after another.

Meng Jinyao and her two sisters-in-law entertained the female family members together. The men of the family entertained the male guests in the front yard. Mrs. Gu also chatted with the old sisters who came to attend the full moon banquet. Servants shuttled back and forth carrying fruits, snacks, and tea. The whole house became lively.

Old Sister No. 1: "Old sister, this little daughter-in-law of yours is really a prosperous woman. Within two years of her marriage, Yao Ling's illness was cured and she gave birth to a fat grandson for you."

Old Sister No. 2: "No, not only is she a prosperous husband, but she is also a filial child. Old sister, the embroidery work on the outfit you wore last time was really good, and the style is also good. I will go back and ask the embroiderer to make similar styles. "The style is quite good, but the embroidery work is not as good as that of your little daughter-in-law."

Old Sister No. 3: "I just saw your little grandson. He's so handsome. He's as cute as your Yao Ling when he was a child. It makes people's hearts melt just looking at him."

Who doesn’t like to hear good words?

When Mrs. Gu listened to the flattering words of the old sisters, the smile on her face never faded, and she responded with a smile: "Isn't your family's smile quite pleasing? You also love to laugh."

Old Sister No. 3 replied: "Oh, he used to really love to laugh, but now for some reason, he pretends to be serious and stops laughing."

Mrs. Gu said: "Xiaoxiao is ten years old this year. It is normal to be calmer than before. This young boy already has the demeanor of his father. He will definitely have a bright future."

After hearing this, Old Sister No. 3 shook her head: "He still doesn't have the same demeanor as his father. It's not like you don't know how careless his father was back then. He was just like your Yao Ling when he was young. He was careless. "Children of the heart."

Old Sister No. 1 said: "Look what you said, isn't it normal for young people to be more lively? Yao Ling and Mo Bai are very calm now, they are good at literature and martial arts, their abilities are extraordinary, and they are highly valued by the emperor."

Old Sister No. 2 echoed: "That's right. Both of your sons are calm and talented. The unscrupulous son in our family is really worrying. He is already dozens of years old, and he still acts like a teenager. Not reliable at all.”

As soon as these words came out, several people thought of her son's usual careless behavior. It was really a dog shaking his head when he saw it. The father is not as calm as his own son, but he is better than his good character and will not bully the weak. bastard thing.

Old Sister No. 2 added: "Thankfully my daughter-in-law is stable, otherwise this family would have to break up without mentioning him, which would be very sad. By the way, it's already this hour, why haven't you seen the old lady of the Meng family? The eldest granddaughter Your eldest son’s full moon feast, don’t you, the grandmother, come to see your granddaughter and great-grandson?”

Mrs. Gu replied evasively: "She lives in seclusion, doesn't like to be busy, and is not in a hurry to see the child. Ayao can see her when she returns to her parents' home with the child in the future."

The old ladies didn't quite believe this. When it came to living in seclusion, Mrs. Gu was better. She was the one who really liked purity and didn't like the excitement. As for Mrs. Meng, she probably had other reasons. The Meng family Ever since Uncle Meng passed away, things have gotten worse and worse. Even though the eldest daughter of the Meng family married into the Gu family, Uncle Meng still couldn't hold on to the wall. Only the second son, Meng, has some potential. Things got better after the year.

Everyone is a discerning person, and several old ladies quickly changed the subject to talk about the younger generations in the family.

In that room, Meng Jinyao was greeting a group of female relatives of similar age. She only saw Song Xinning but not Princess Jingning, so she found an opportunity to ask Song Xinning: "A Ning, I didn't see A Yan today, have you seen it?" To her?"

Song Xinning smiled meaningfully and replied: "Ayan probably won't be able to come today, but Prince Shen is here."

Meng Jinyao was confused after hearing this: "What happened to her?"

Song Xinning pointed out: "I met her yesterday. She was feeling unwell, had a bad appetite, and felt like vomiting due to the fishy smell. She will probably need to recuperate for a few days." She said, lowering her voice and continued, " Moreover, her menstruation was delayed.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao instantly understood that in this case, she was probably pregnant. The month was still young and the fetus was unstable. It was indeed not suitable to appear in lively places to avoid being bumped into.

Meng Jinyao said: "I am now in confinement. We will go to Duke Shen's Mansion to visit her in two days."

Song Xinning nodded and replied, "That's what I meant."

Time passed unknowingly, and the banquet was about to begin, and guests were ready to be invited to the table.

Suddenly, a voice came: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Everyone present was stunned, a little surprised that the imperial edict suddenly came, but they also went to listen to the edict. Even if the edict was not for themselves, they had to kneel to listen, otherwise they would be contemptuous of the emperor's power.

The father-in-law who delivered the edict saw that the Gu family and the guests who had come to drink the full moon wine were all kneeling to listen to the edict, and then he began to read out the edict.

The high-pitched voice of the father-in-law rang out, and he read out the imperial edict unhurriedly. After listening to it, everyone was very surprised. This was an edict consecrating Gu Xiuheng, the eldest son of Marquis Changxing, as the crown prince. The child was just one month old, and he was already canonized as the crown prince. ?

Not only the guests were surprised, but Gu Jingxi was also surprised. After all, the edict to confer the title of crown prince came down before he even reported to the emperor. This was the emperor's holy grace.

Gu Jingxi stretched out his hand to take the imperial edict, and then kowtowed respectfully and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Long live my Emperor!"

After the father-in-law who announced the decree left, the guests congratulated Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao one after another.

Meng Jinyao glanced at her husband who was not far away, smiled, and cursed in her heart: She said she disliked Wan Wan, but then she turned around and went to the emperor to invite Wan Wan to be the crown prince. This shows that her husband is very rare for Wan Wan.

When Gu Jingxi saw her smiling at him, his expression softened, he nodded gently at her, smiled back, and then continued talking to the people around him as if nothing had happened.

Some guests noticed the exchange of expressions between the couple and secretly said that they have a good relationship and they still look like a newlywed couple after being married for so long.

At this time, a lady whispered to an acquaintance: "Speaking of the long-term vision, you have to take care of your wife. In the past, we said that she had no regard for human relations and married the father of her future husband. Now it seems that she is smart and wants to be the wife of the heir apparent." How can I be the mother of a prince?"

A friend next to her replied: "Isn't that right? If the prince is not good, then replace him with another one. No matter whether Changxing Hou's hidden illness can be cured or not, as long as there are children in this lineage, she will be the prince's mother. Last year, Changxing Hou made meritorious service and used his merits to She asked for a royal decree. If she had complied and continued to marry Gu Xiuming, she would no longer be the wife of the prince. "

The lady added: "This also proves that marrying the right person is more important than anything else. All reputations are false. So what if others ridicule her for marrying her former father-in-law? Now she is the wife in the palm of the hand of Marquis Changxing, and the old lady also Treat her like a daughter, live a happy life in the Hou Mansion, and there are many women in the capital who envy her. "

The friend said: "This is fate. It is destined by God. She has a good marriage in her life, which others cannot envy."
