Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

The next day.

The warm morning light refracted into the wedding room through the window, hitting Jiang Heyan's pretty face.

Her long eyelashes were tightly closed, her pink cheeks were slightly flushed, her thin lips were pursed, and her flower-like face was as crystal clear as jade, gentle and delicate.

Click!

Gu Chen opened the door and walked in directly.

"Aunt...uncle!"

Chun Xia, who had been waiting by her side, saw Gu Chen enter the door and immediately lowered her head in a low voice.

Gu Chen glanced at Jiang Heyan on the bed, "She's not awake yet?"

Chun Xia quickly explained: "Miss was waiting for my uncle to come back last night and didn't lie down to rest until midnight, so..."

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chun Xia and said, "Then you will wake up your lady later. I will wait for her in the main hall."

It's not that Gu Chen doesn't let the other party sleep, and he has to go to his mother's concubine to treat An Jing tea today, so he can't go too late.

"yes."

Chunxia also knew the rules and nodded hurriedly in agreement.

Just a moment after Gu Chen left, Jiang Heyan on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

"Miss, you're awake."

Chunxia was startled and quickly stood up and walked over.

"Um."

In fact, Jiang Heyan slept very lightly just now.

She woke up the moment Gu Chen came in, but she didn't know how to face him, so she continued to pretend to be asleep.

"Miss, Chunxia will undress and pack for you. My uncle is already waiting for you in the main hall." Chunxia reminded.

Jiang Heyan nodded, "Okay."

The rules cannot be broken.

Although there was some unpleasantness between her and Gu Chen last night, she couldn't let her elders and outsiders see the joke.

She still had to follow the rules.

After getting dressed up, accompanied by Chun Xia, Jiang Heyan came to the main hall. Then he saw Gu Chen sitting at a table with many pastries and food on it.

Gu Chen looked up at the other party and said, "Eat something first, and then accompany me to the palace to meet my mother and concubine later."

Jiang Heyan hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, walked to the side of the dining table and sat down honestly.

She was indeed hungry.

She hasn't eaten since noon yesterday.

If she doesn't eat now, she will have to wait until at least noon when she returns to her parents' house to have food.

So, under Gu Chen's gaze, Jiang Heyan picked up some pastries on the table and ate them in small bites.

She didn't know whether it was because she wasn't familiar with Gu Chen, or because the other party's strong attitude last night made her a little scared.

When she ate pastries, she chewed them carefully and looked a little reserved.

"You eat first, and I'll prepare the horse."

Gu Chen noticed the other party's discomfort and took the initiative to leave the table.

Not long after Gu Chen left, Chunxia immediately approached Jiang Heyan, looked at the pastries on the table, and couldn't help but said: "Miss, how did he know that you like to eat pastries? He also prepared your favorite snowflakes. cake!"

Jiang Heyan's eyes moved slightly, but her face didn't change much.

Maybe the other party just happened to prepare these pastries for breakfast.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated himself like that yesterday.

....

And at the entrance of Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

Gu Chen was instructing the guards to prepare horses and sedan chairs. At this moment, a man in yellow attire came over on horseback with a smile on his face, followed by several guards.

"Brother Ninth!"

"Why are you here, kid?"

Gu Chen looked over after hearing the sound and said slightly surprised.

Among all the heirs of the royal family, only the twelfth prince, Gu Yongyi, can call Gu Chen the ninth brother.

The two have a good relationship. This guy has been stuck behind Gu Chen since he was a child, telling him to go east and never to the west.

"Aren't you here to see you and your sister-in-law? Hehe, you didn't even drink with me last night and just hurried back to the room. You must have worked hard!" Gu Yongyi said with a smirk on his face.

Gu Chen rolled his eyes at the other party and said, "Don't ask around if you have nothing to do, or you'll get your butt blown."

"Tch, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. You're still doing this with me."

Gu Yongyi shut his mouth and stopped continuing the topic. Then he changed the subject and asked, "Brother Ninth, are you planning to take your sister-in-law to the palace to pay her respects?"

Gu Chen rolled his eyes at her again, "What else?"

"Then will you take your sister-in-law to the queen's place?"

"What do you think?"

While the two were chatting, Jiang Heyan had already arrived at the door.

At the same time, when the guards waiting around the carriage saw Jiang Heyan coming out, they all bowed down and said respectfully: "I have met Princess Zhuang."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Gu Yongyi also saw Jiang Heyan and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"I've met the Twelfth Prince." Jiang Heyan responded quickly.

Gu Chen couldn't help but interjected. "What kind of salute do you want to give him? You are her sister-in-law. Just call him Yongyi or Xiaoyi."

This girl probably hasn't gotten used to her identity yet, or maybe she hasn't woken up yet.

"Oh~"

Jiang Heyan responded carefully without refuting.

"Brother Ninth is right, sister-in-law, you can call me whatever you want." Gu Yongyi chuckled and didn't care at all.

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to take your sister-in-law back to the palace to pay my respects to the mother-in-law." Gu Chen looked at Gu Yongyi and said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your return at Prince Zhuang's Mansion."

Then, Gu Chen looked at Jiang Heyan and reminded: "Get in the car!"

Jiang Heyan nodded and got into the carriage with the help of a maid. Gu Chen strode onto a black horse and led the team towards the palace.

Gu Chen's biological mother was the imperial concubine, Mrs. Xiao.

But according to the etiquette of dignity and priority, he could only call Mrs. Xiao the mother-in-law, and Queen Nangong was the mother-in-law.

However, he grew up beside the Xiao family and was not taken care of by the Queen Nangong family.

There is no other reason than the relationship between his biological mother, the Xiao family, and the Queen Nangong family, or it could be said that the Xiao family and the Nangong family are hostile to each other.

And the emperor father of mine also knew this, but it was hard to interfere.

Therefore, when he went to the palace today, Gu Chen took Jiang Heyan to see not Queen Nangong, but her biological mother, Xiao.

Obtaining the approval of the Xiao family means getting the approval of the Xiao family behind her, and it also confirms her identity as Princess Zhuang.

....

Prince Zhuang's Mansion is not far from the palace, and Gu Chen and others arrived at the outer palace within about a minute of burning incense. Just as they were heading towards Yong'an Palace where Xiao was located, a group of people walked out from the other direction, blocking their way.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp and harsh voice came from the opposite side, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Jin are leaving the palace, please stay out of the way!"

Gu Chen smiled and drove his horse forward slowly, ignoring the other party's reminder.

The prince lives in the East Palace, and his mother-in-law, Xiao, lives in the West Palace. It's quite unexpected that they can bump into each other.

"His Royal Highness King Jin!!"

Within the carriage.

When she heard the name Jin Wang, Jiang Heyan trembled slightly and clenched her hands subconsciously.

She has a secret that she has never told anyone.

When she was eight years old, she went out to the lake with her playmates and accidentally slipped and fell into the water.

At that time, everyone was in a panic and lost their sense of proportion.

Only His Highness the Sixth Prince, who was four years older than her, jumped into the lake without hesitation and rescued her ashore.

From that moment on, she fell in love with the taciturn prince, but she never dared to express her love because of her family upbringing.

Every time the other party appeared, she only dared to stand in the distance and watch quietly.

But even just looking at it makes her feel extremely happy.

And that fall into the water also made her have a doubt about swimming in the lake, and she never dared to touch the water again.

It's a pity that now that she is married as a wife, she no longer dares to luxuriate in this original beauty.

"Haha, it turns out to be the ninth brother!"

Seeing Gu Chen approaching, a man wearing yellow clothes and a round figure laughed loudly across from him.

And beside him was a man in black attire, who was His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, Jin Wang Gu Tianming.

Gu Chen, who was opposite, also looked at the two of them.

At this time, Prince Gu Mao said again: "Yesterday, the ninth brother got married, and he married the rare beauty from Zhenguo Palace. I must have had a lot of fun last night. I am really envious of you!"

These words seemed to be praising Gu Chen, but they were filled with hypocrisy and condescending contempt. Although he and Jiang Heyan did have some conflicts, the other party was his official wife, the official wife of Ming Media, and not the so-called concubine. When the other party discusses his wife in such a joking tone, he is not only underestimating Jiang Heyan's status, but also slapping him, Prince Zhuang, in the face.

Gu Chen smiled coldly and replied: "My Yan'er is a wealthy and well-educated person. Naturally, she cannot be compared to the vulgar things around my brother who can only help relieve fatigue."

In the carriage, Jiang Heyan was slightly stunned, her eyes blurred.

Although he knew that Gu Chen and the prince did not get along, she did not expect that the other party would protect her so much outside.

After all, he even flirted with the other party during the wedding ceremony yesterday, which is completely opposite to what he said about "being knowledgeable and sensible".

"Old Jiu, what do you mean by this? Are you scolding me for being shameless?"

The smile on Gu Mao's face suddenly turned cold, and he asked slightly angrily.

He did like to take the maids back to his room to relieve their fatigue, but no one ever talked about it openly.

What the other party said was completely mocking him.

Gu Chen chuckled and said: "Brother, you have to know how to control yourself, otherwise anger will harm your body. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, Gu Chen drove the carriage directly in the direction of Yong'an Palace.

Seeing Gu Chen's men leaving without looking back, Gu Mao cursed angrily: "Damn it, this Laojiu is getting more and more unruly. With the imperial concubine and the Xiao family behind him, even I, the crown prince, If you dare to be so disrespectful, do you really think that I don't dare to do something to him?"

Then, he looked at the man in black next to him and asked: "Lao Liu, please tell me how I should teach Lao Jiu a lesson so that he knows that I am the crown prince of this great Zhou Dynasty."

Gu Tianming frowned slightly, but quickly covered it up, shook his head a few times, and said softly: "I don't know."

Gu Mao glanced at Gu Tianming speechlessly and sighed: "Oh! You are just a piece of wood, you can only lead troops to fight. If you really get involved in such things in the court, you probably won't be able to deal with it. Forget it, I will figure out a solution for Lao Jiu on my own."

Gu Tianming didn't bother to refute Gu Mao's lecture.
