Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

The brother and sister's car arrived at the door of Gu's house in a blink of an eye.

Huang Fu received a message from the palace and knew that the princess was leaving, so he went to the palace gate early to wait.

But he saw Jiang Yu getting off the carriage.

Huang Fu had never seen Jiang Yu before, so he was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Yu reaching out and placing a green-white hand on his forearm. He stepped out of the carriage, as if she was Princess Jiang Xue.

Huang Fu led a group of servants and stepped forward to salute: "Welcome Your Highness to your home."

Jiang Xue said calmly: "Uncle Huang, please get up. These are the palace servants I am accustomed to in the palace. They are now serving in the palace on the orders of the Queen Mother."

She turned around and pointed at the group of people following the car, telling Huang Fu.

"From now on, all affairs in the palace will be handled by the maids Xiaochun and Fudong."

Xiaochun and Fudong stepped forward and blessed Fu Shen slightly: "Guard Huang."

Huang Fu was stunned, obviously caught off guard.

Before the wedding, I heard that the princess did not bring anyone into the palace, and all the servants and young masters in the palace were handed over to him. Why is this sudden?

Is the princess dissatisfied with the servants of the Gu family, or is she dissatisfied with the young master?

"Have you prepared dinner?" Jiang Xue asked again.

Huang Fu was in a daze and didn't reply for a long time. Xiaochun raised his voice and asked, "Butler Huang, His Highness asked if dinner is ready?"

Huang Fu came to his senses and said hurriedly: "The kitchen is being prepared."

"Go and arrange some more delicious dishes. Brother Huang is also having dinner at the Gu Mansion today."

Jiang Xue gave Huang Fu a few instructions, then turned to Jiang Yu and said, "Come in with me, brother Huang."

Royal brother? Is this the second prince? Huang Fu quickly fell to the ground.

"I have met the Second Prince. I am blind, please forgive me."

Jiang Yu's expression remained unchanged and he did not answer. Jiang Xue said:

"You have just arrived in the capital not long ago. It is normal not to know the emperor's brother. Those who do not know are not guilty."

She said a few words of comfort and said, "Hurry up and prepare dinner."

Huang Fu kowtowed and said yes. He knelt on the ground and waited for the brother and sister to go away before getting up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked quickly towards the study.

Gu Lintan had just returned home from Shangshutai and was currently handling official business in the study.

Hearing the knock on the door, he quickly put the half-read letter in his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Huang Fu pushed the door open and walked in. He immediately turned around and closed the door, saying:

"Sir, the princess has returned home."

"I know, the palace people sent word when we left the palace. Is there anything important?"

"The second prince is here too," Huang Fu said. "I have already gone to the east courtyard with the princess."

What? Gu Lintan frowned, what was he doing here? The love between brother and sister is so deep that they want to go to Gu Mansion to reminisce about the past?

"I know, I'll go there immediately."

"Young Master, there is one more thing." Huang Fu said nervously: "With the princess, there are more than a dozen palace servants."

"She brought the palace people back?!" Gu Lintan shouted in a low voice.

"There are six women and six men. Two of them are the princess's old maids, named Xiaochun and Fudong." Huang Fu said, "The rest should be ordinary maids and guards in the princess's palace."

Gu Lintan's brows furrowed even more.

The palace had issued a decree earlier, and the emperor had given him a mansion and a courtyard, but he was allowed to purchase and maintain his own servants.

He was very happy at first, thinking that Jiang Xue didn't even dare to put on airs in order to please him.

He purchases the servants of the Gu Mansion himself, which means that all affairs in the Mansion will be under his nose.

He had heard anecdotes about Jiang Xue's romantic past in his early years. Who in the court knew that Princess Changle had something to do with the hostage of Qianguo?

After all, her reputation was tarnished, so it was not surprising that she wanted to please her before marriage. Gu Lintan once felt that the princess was easy to handle.

But now, for some reason, she suddenly changed her attitude.

Gu Lintan asked: "Are you sure they are just ordinary maids and guards?"

Huang Fu replied: "Looking at the behavior and dress of the group, it should be right. The old slave estimates that the princess is just not used to servants among the people."

Gu Lintan thought, I hope so.

"You go down first, I'll clean up and go over."

Huang Fu exited the door.

Gu Lintan waited for the door to close and immediately took out the letter from his sleeve. After reading it for a while, he took it to a candle and burned it.

He pondered for a while, then started to sort out the official documents on the table, and then walked out of the study.

Over there, Jiang Yu followed Jiang Xue to the Gu family's east courtyard and looked around.

This house was given by his father. The courtyard decoration is very grand and the scenery is unique. It can be seen that Gu Lintan has carefully planned it.

Jiang Xue turned around and whispered to Xiaochun and Fudong.

"You go around first, and we'll take care of the spare rooms together. You two will live next to my Wenqingxuan, and Wu Anlang has arranged for me to live in the wing at the entrance of the east courtyard. You two will decide how to live in the rest." ."

Xiaochun and Fudong nodded in agreement and walked away with the group.

Jiang Xue brought Jiang Yu into the hall and called the maid of the Gu family to serve tea and snacks.

"Second Emperor Brother, please wait for a moment. I'm afraid the Prince Consort will arrive soon."

Jiang Yu nodded, picked up the tea cup and blew it slowly.

As soon as Gu Lintan entered the east courtyard, he saw a group of servants coming from the palace. Xiaochun stepped forward and saluted:

"I have met the Prince Consort. These are the maids and guards serving in Changle Palace. The Queen takes pity on the princess and has specially ordered us to come to the Gu Mansion to serve His Highness and the Prince Consort."

Gu Lintan smiled and said: "Girl, you're welcome. Where are the princess and the second prince?"

"Both Your Highnesses are in Wenqingxuan. They ordered me to go down first to pack our luggage and stay."

Gu Lintan still had a warm smile on his face and said, "Okay, I'll go see you. If you encounter any problems, just ask the housekeeper Huang Fu."

After saying that, he strode towards Wen Qingxuan.

Xiaochun looked back at Fudong, and the two exchanged glances. The prince-in-law had a smile on his face, but it was really unpleasant to look at.

Gu Lintan stepped into the hall and felt Jiang Yu's sharp eyes looking at him.

He nodded to Jiang Xue: "His Highness is back."

He immediately raised his hands and bowed, bowing to salute.

"Lintan has met His Highness the Second Prince."

Jiang Yu was in no hurry to let him get up.

He picked up the tea cup, narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully.

It is true that the jade tree stands in the wind and has an extraordinary appearance.

I was shocked to hear that this man's strategies and opinions during the palace examination were very impressive, and he was very favored by his father.

With Pan An's good looks and talent, the number one scholar in the high school turned out to be Princess Shang, who was also the emperor's guest.

Isn't this kind of person the most popular upstart favorite in the court?

"You don't have to be polite, Prince Consort, Gu and you are also a family now."

Jiang Yu spoke calmly and immediately put down the tea cup.

Gu Lintan saw the two of them sitting on the main seat, straightened up and stood aside, and also looked at Jiang Yu quietly.

"What is the consort's position in the imperial court now?"

"I am in charge of editing and compiling the Hanlin Academy. I serve as your majesty's pen writer and compile the actual records."

"I heard from my father that you also have a position at the Chancellor's desk?"

"By the grace of His Majesty, I have entered the service of Mr. Lu, Lord Ling of the Shangshu. After my wedding, I will go to the Shangshu desk in my free time on weekdays to listen and learn at the same time."

Jiang Xue had a headache when his father actually asked him to study under his grandfather. In the past, he knew that his father favored him, but he didn't want to favor him to this extent.

It seems that his actions cannot be delayed any longer.

"What are you studying at Shangshutai now?" Jiang Yu asked again.

"Starting today, I will go to the Ministry of Rites to assist Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Rites, in handling some simple matters."

Gu Lin was answering questions fluently on his face, but he was secretly sweating in his heart.

The brother and sister were sitting high in the hall, but they didn't care about his consort's face. They asked him questions again and again, and never even asked him to sit down.

Jiang Yu is a prince, and he cannot ignore the differences between the emperor and his ministers. However, Jiang Xue also seems to want to give him power——

You know, he is now her husband-in-law!

Gu Lintan felt a little bit angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

What he was most worried about at the moment was nothing else, but whether what happened last night aroused Jiang Xue's suspicion and made her act out of character.

But he had no other choice but to deal with it carefully and try to be calm.

Just when Jiang Yu was about to continue asking questions, Jiang Xue spoke.

"Brother Emperor, this is Prince Consort Gu's mansion, not the army. Why do you need to look like you're questioning your generals?"

Jiang Xueqiao smiled beautifully, especially emphasizing the word "consort".

Jiang Yu borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "If the prince consort can win the respect of the emperor, he must have extraordinary talents. If you can become the pillar of the Ji Dynasty in the future and be the right-hand man of the emperor, I will feel at ease."

Gu Lintan, who was neither humble nor arrogant, said: "I am studying hard in Hanchuang just to repay my family and country. I am recognized by the Holy One and have shown more kindness, so I am where I am today."

He looked at Jiang Xue with gratitude: "In the future, I will fulfill my duties and be a good minister of the Holy Emperor and a good husband of the princess."

Jiang Xue sneered in her heart. This man deceived the emperor and turned swords on her on their wedding night. If God hadn't given her a chance to do it again, she would have become a lonely ghost by now!

Jiang Yu said casually: "Why do you keep standing, Prince Consort? Sit down quickly."

Gu Lintan nodded in agreement. As soon as he sat down, Huang Fu walked into the hall.

"I have met your two highnesses."

Jiang Xue waved her hand for him to get up. He stood up and walked to Gu Lintan and whispered: "Sir, the famous doctor from Jiaodong is here to visit."

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Xue and said, "Her Royal Highness's medicine has been delivered."
