Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain
Chapter 049 His Highness Is Not Here!
After the morning court, Gu Chen was called by Mrs. Xiao to Yong'an Palace, where they chatted all morning.
First, he asked Gu Chen how his relationship with Jiang Heyan was now and when he planned to conceive a child. After that, they talked about some things in the court.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao asked: "By the way, I asked you to visit the General's Mansion last time, did you go?"
Gu Chen explained: "I was busy with official duties before and accidentally forgot. I must go in these two days."
Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly and reminded: "Although you don't have much confrontation with the prince now, all the ministers in the court should know that you and the prince are not on good terms, and they will definitely compete for the throne in the future. Zhao Tai's prestige in the army is not low, and He holds the Tiger Talisman, and the more important thing is that he is not siding with either side now. If you can win him over, it will be a great help to you in your future fight for the throne!"
"Mother and Concubine are right." Gu Chen nodded and responded.
If he could win over General Zhao Tai, he would have gone over to win over him.
In the original plot, the reason why Zhao Tai did not express his position was because what he really admired was the sixth prince Gu Tianming, and he even planned to betroth his daughter to him.
But something happened later and Zhao Tai's daughter was accidentally killed, so the marriage failed in the end.
As for flowers like Gu Mao and Gu Chen that could only grow in greenhouses, he dismissed them.
However, he couldn't explain these reasons to his mother and concubine, so he could only agree perfunctorily.
Mrs. Xiao was sitting gracefully and elegantly, her charming eyes slightly raised, looking at Gu Chen below.
"If I remember correctly, the daughter of the General's Mansion will be pregnant in two days. When the time comes, prepare a generous gift, go to the General's Mansion to congratulate her, and at the same time test Zhao Tai's choice."
"My son understands." Gu Chen said.
"Well, that's good if you know."
Seeing that Gu Chen could listen to the advice, Mrs. Xiao felt a little more relaxed, and then asked: "How is your relationship with He Yan now? They have been married for more than a month, so it's time for some movement."
"Concubine Lao is thinking about me. Yan'er and I have a very good relationship, but there are a lot of trivial matters now, and sometimes I don't have much energy to think about other things." Gu Chen explained.
Mrs. Xiao shook her head, "That's not possible. You are the only mother-in-law. If you ascend the throne in the future, you will be the emperor of this great Zhou Dynasty. The reproduction of heirs affects the rise and fall of the royal family. Even if you are busy with official duties, you cannot be here. If you are slack on things, don’t be careless.”
"My son, try your best..." Gu Chen said lightly, not wanting to talk more.
Different concepts will inevitably conflict on some things, so Gu Chen doesn't want to talk too much about the topic of having children.
Moreover, he did not say that he must be the emperor.
....
Prince Zhuang's Mansion.
Jiang Heyan sat on the left side of the table, and Jiang Anran sat on the right side of the table. They looked at each other, and neither of them dared to speak first.
Even Chun Xia and Xiao Yu behind them silently closed their mouths.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward and silent.
"Um... He Yan, is His Highness here?"
Jiang Anran couldn't help but looked at Jiang Heyan opposite, and asked first.
When she came to Prince Zhuang's Mansion today, she thought that she might meet Jiang Heyan, but she actually bumped into her as soon as she entered the manor.
It was really embarrassing at that time!
However, my sister's temper seemed to be better than when she was at the Zhenguo Palace, and he didn't even chase her away directly.
Jiang Heyan frowned, obviously disgusted with her calling "Heyan", but in the end she endured it and said coldly.
"Your Highness is not here!"
Before, she would have kicked him out directly.
But now...
She knew Jiang Anran could help His Highness, so she couldn't be so willful.
But as long as she sees the other person's face, she will still be a little angry.
"Oh, did His Highness Prince Zhuang say when he would come back?" Jiang Anran smiled and asked.
Last time Prince Zhuang asked her to come over in the afternoon.
She had lunch today and lay at home for more than an hour before coming out.
As a result, the other party was not at home.
If she hadn't asked for help, she would have given the opponent a combination of punches now.
Let him lie!
"have no idea."
Jiang Heyan raised her eyebrows, glanced at Jiang Anran, and said coldly.
"Okay, since His Highness is not here, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Jiang Anran stood up directly.
She admitted that Jiang Heyan was something she couldn't afford to offend now.
But that doesn’t mean you have to hold everything back.
She doesn't want to see him, so why not leave on her own?
I don't want to look at her cold face...
"stop!"
Seeing Jiang Anran was about to leave, Jiang Heyan shouted hurriedly.
"Is there anything else, Princess Zhuang?"
Jiang Anran called the other party "Princess Zhuang" again, and her tone became colder.
"Don't you want to borrow money? Are you leaving now, waiting for His Highness to find you?" Jiang Heyan said.
Jiang Anran said bluntly: "I didn't ask His Highness to come to me, but Princess Zhuang seems unwilling to keep me, so why should I continue to stay here! As for the money matter, I will naturally think of other ways."
"When did I say I won't keep you? Stop being so sentimental here." Jiang Heyan said slightly angrily.
"Okay, okay, Princess Zhuang, you are right. I am too sentimental. Can I leave now?" Jiang Anran said perfunctorily.
"No!" Jiang Heyan refused directly.
Jiang Anran couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it possible that Princess Zhuang wants to rely on her status to bully a weak woman like me?"
She was not sure whether Jiang Heyan would attack her.
But His Highness Prince Zhuang should still be reasonable.
In this case, the other party should also take a little care of His Highness Prince Zhuang's face.
After all, he was the one who invited me here.
"Who wants to bully you? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Seeing Jiang Anran's fearless look, Jiang Heyan was indeed very angry, but she still did not make a move against him.
Then, she continued: "I know that His Highness is interested in the store you are opening now, so he asked you to come to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, but I hope you remember that I am her princess, his woman."
"But if you dare to have other bad thoughts like your aunt, I will definitely not let you go!"
She always had a strange feeling.
Jiang Anran always seemed to be against her again.
In the past, when he was at the Duke's Mansion, his father doted on her, a concubine.
Now that she is married to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, she has used her own methods to attract His Highness's attention, and even made His Highness think highly of her.
If she is like that Min, then everything she does must have some purpose.
Therefore, she couldn't help but remind the other party to let her know the distance between her and His Highness in the future.
Jiang Anran was speechless inside.
Is she so defensive?
She had only met His Highness Prince Zhuang a few times, but she already felt that he had evil intentions?
However, Jiang Anran still made a promise.
"Don't worry about this. I only have a pure interest relationship with His Highness Prince Zhuang, and there won't be much negotiation."
"It's good that you know." Jiang Heyan said.
