The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 228 After marrying your wife, you should treat her well

Although Guo Cuiyan's plan failed, it still caused a small ripple in the turbulent palace.

Before Emperor Ming stepped into the Taihe Palace, the news that he had struck up a conversation with Guo Cuiyan reached the ears of Concubine Meng of Ziwei Palace.

Concubine Meng, who had always doted on the Sixth Palace, was having a very unhappy time. Her daughter, the Eighth Princess, had been very emotionally unstable since she was blinded by a peck. She was mad and noisy all day long, which made her heartbroken. At the end of the year, various vassal kings came to Beijing. They paid tribute and sent countless beauties of all kinds, which made Meng, who was already in her thirties and no longer young, feel a sense of crisis.

Over the years, if Meng didn't have the ability to see all directions and listen to all directions, how could he have been able to stand firm in this fiercely competitive palace.

After Concubine Meng heard the palace servants report what happened today, she shook the jade hands under her wide sleeves and snorted coldly: "There are a lot of people coming in these days, and this Guo family is the first one who dares to be so restless. "

Concubine Meng waved her hand and retreated to report to the palace attendants. She immediately summoned her confidant and eunuch and said, "You can make arrangements for the Guo family today."

The most indispensable thing in the harem is beauty. Meng has been the only one who has been favored for so many years, not just because of her beauty. Concubine Meng’s scheming skills are not equal to that of a hundred Guo Cuiyan tied up. She has not been able to deal with one of them. Guo Cuiyan, for Concubine Meng, who has experienced many palace battles, is just a matter of waving her little finger.

The eunuch received the order and was about to bow down and retire when Concubine Meng gave another warning: "After all, this was sent by the Duke of Zhenguo, so be careful when doing it."

Although Concubine Meng had a lot of resentment towards the Zhenguo Duke's government because of the incident involving the eighth princess, she was not ignorant of the importance. In this critical period of seizing the rightful son, the Meng family did not want to quarrel with the Zhenguo Duke's government.

The eunuch agreed: "Don't worry, Madam, I'll take care of my slave perfectly. I'll just let her leave quietly."

But she said that Guo Cuiyan's plan failed tonight, and she was inevitably upset. But she was an indomitable master. Although she didn't win the emperor in one fell swoop tonight, she still said a few words on the emperor, which made her look embarrassed. Ripe.

The days ahead were long, and Guo Cuiyan was lying on the bed, thinking carefully about her next plan. Suddenly, she felt a cramp in her abdomen. At first, she could hold it back, but after a while, the pain caused her to break out in a cold sweat, and she couldn't bear it. He held his lower abdomen and rolled over on the bed.

There were three or four beautiful ladies living in this house. When the other beautiful ladies saw her acting like this, they quickly called the aunt in charge.

The steward who came in glanced at Guo Cuiyan, who was writhing in pain, waved his hands to several young eunuchs, and said coldly: "This one is probably sick. Let's move to another room first."

The little eunuch listened to the instructions and rushed forward to carry Guo Cuiyan out.

After fainting from the pain, Guo Cuiyan opened her eyes again and found that she was lying in an empty room. She was so exhausted that she had no strength at all. She forced herself to get up and went down to the ground to find some water to drink. Looking around, there was nothing in this small room except A hard bed and nothing else.

Guo Cuiyan forced herself to crawl to the door, slapped the door panel with all her strength and shouted: "Come here, come here!"

She called intermittently for a long time, and then the impatient echo of a little eunuch came from outside the door: "Stop yelling, the girl is seriously ill. The imperial doctor said that you should have a good life and take good care of her. Please save your energy."

She was locked up in such a small, dark room with no food or water. There was no way she was going to be raised.

Guo Cuiyan is not stupid, and now she understands that they are going to torture herself to death.

As soon as he entered the palace, the door was as deep as the sea. Unfortunately, even when death was imminent, Guo Cuiyan racked her brains and couldn't figure out who wanted to put her to death because she had just entered the palace and had not offended anyone.

Do you regret it? Guo Cuiyan did not feel any regret until her death, she was just unwilling to give in.

She closed her eyes in despair, but her mind suddenly flashed back to the rare and wealthy days she had lived in the Zhenguo Palace.

At this moment, the Duke of Zhenguo, who was still thinking about Guo Cuiyan until his death, was immersed in joy.

Emperor Ming personally issued a decree to marry Li Xiang to Princess Pingyang.

At noon, the eunuch who proclaimed the decree went to the Zhenguo Palace to announce the decree.

The Duke of Zhenguo's palace is of the same family as Prince Yong's palace. A pair of young and talented girls are both beautiful, and they have been granted the marriage by the Holy Emperor. This is undoubtedly an excellent, very suitable and honorable marriage.

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, which had not been peaceful for a while, finally had a happy event. Everyone in the mansion was filled with joy, except Li Xiang.

Li Xiang stood blankly holding the imperial edict, and for a moment he couldn't remember it.

That little princess from Pingyang whom he had only met once, became his wife? He tried hard to recall the voice and appearance of that little fiancée, but all that came to mind were the shadows of Jiao Xing.

"What, third brother doesn't like it?"

Li Xiang, who was immersed in his thoughts, turned around when he heard the call and saw that it was his brother Li Ling and his sister-in-law. He scratched his head and hesitated: "I just think it's a bit too sudden. I, I can't say whether I like it or not.

"

Jing Shu knew that he was holding a sweetheart in his heart, so she sighed and said: "This morning my mother just ordered someone to tell me that she would come to talk to my grandmother about your marriage in two days, but I didn't expect that the Holy Father would make the decree in such a hurry.

"

Yes! Their uncle has always been more diligent in dealing with these children than in handling government affairs.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "I always feel that I am still young, but I am not in a hurry to get married so early."

Seeing his brother's unsettled appearance, Li Ling admonished him: "When you get married from now on, you have to treat others well, you know?"

Li Xiang scratched his head again: "I know. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

With that said, Li Xiang went out in a hurry.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's back as he was hurriedly escaping, and said to Li Ling worriedly: "Do you think this third brother is still thinking about that Jiao Xing?"

Li Xiang has been protected by Li Ling since he was a child. Li Ling, the elder brother, knows his younger brother very well. He replied: "It will be difficult to make him forget, but the third brother is a gentle person and has experienced a lot in the past two years."

You have matured a lot, and even if you marry a wife in the future, you will not be able to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife."

Jing Shu smiled bitterly and said: "That Jiao Xing is a good one, and this little Princess Pingyang is even more lovable. I just hope that my third brother can handle this matter well."

Li Ling stepped forward and tightened his wife's cloak, and said angrily to her: "You are not in good health these days, so there is no need to worry about it. I will place that charming child in Zhuangzi first, and let him be with me after the third brother gets married."

You just have to figure it out yourself, he is no longer a child now, how can we still help him with everything? I believe he can take care of these things."
