She was the illegitimate daughter of the prefect. Her father, appreciating a certain general, betrothed his daughter to him and introduced him to Prince Xian. Living up to expectations, he became a...
Before leaving, Nian was about to cry, "You guys, you must perform well!"
Guo Liangxian nodded solemnly and bowed to the gate of the mansion, which was the place where Prince Xian once lived.
They set off.
Lin Yan'er looked at the general walking away depressedly, and entered the mansion without looking back.
Nian rolled her eyes, "What an uneducated, unruly girl!"
Mother Cui agreed, "That's right, our girl still knows the rules."
Ju Niu'er bowed beside her and raised her hand respectfully, "Old Madam, please come in."
"Um."
Outside the palace, the road was relatively flat, but the carriage was shaking slightly.
Guo Liangxian looked at the street market outside the curtain and lamented that he had hardly had much time to stroll along the way.
He said leisurely, "When I have time, I'll take you for a walk around here."
Yuan Xueyue, however, relaxed herself, leaning in the corner of the carriage and thinking quietly, completely ignoring what Guo Liangxian said.
He turned his head and said, "There's no need to be so distant, right?"
Yuan Xueyue said, "General, do you want more intimacy? Just give it to Miss Lin."
Guo Liangxian, “…”
"We are still husband and wife after all. I owe you these past five years, but the war in the northwest is intense, and Prince Xian is offering me a favor. How can I be worthy of the people if I don't go?"
Alone in the carriage, Guo Liangxian explained sincerely.
These words showed how helpless he was.
But it was not what Yuan Xueyue wanted to hear, she said indifferently,
"General, you misunderstood. This has nothing to do with it. It's just that I have a weak connection with you."
Guo Liangxian said sternly, "What do you mean by 'shallow fate'? If it's shallow, how can we become husband and wife? Don't forget, it was your father who came to my house first to propose marriage!"
Yuan Xueyue was, after all, the daughter of a prefect, well-educated and well-mannered. Although her status was demoted by her father, she had never been too ambitious due to her knowledge and upbringing since childhood.
But as for the matter of Guo Liangxian, it was entirely her father's will, and Aunt Fang also made a lot of contributions behind the scenes!
Yuan Xueyue knew it in her heart, but what had been done was done and there was nothing she could do.
"It was our family that proposed the marriage, but it was your family that wanted to get close to ours, not me who fell in love with you first." Yuan Xueyue said coldly.
"Whether you like me or not, your father liked me first! You have to marry me! Now that Prince Xian appreciates me, I have to come to the capital to live in a big house and have two salaries from the court and Prince Xian's mansion! You should be grateful!" Guo Liangxian scolded.
Seeing that Yuan Xueyue turned her head away and didn't even want to face his side profile, Guo Liangxian also looked outside the curtain angrily!
She didn't want to dwell on these words anymore.
Just wait for an opportunity to leave.
The carriage slowly approached Prince Xian's mansion. Xiao Zhao happened to see it outside the mansion and asked the steward to receive him. He first saw Guo Liangxian coming down and reached out his hand into the carriage, but his hand was empty.
He took two steps away with disdain, and a lady with a solemn dress and a beautiful face walked out of the carriage!
Xiao Zhao stepped forward and asked, "Who is this?"
When Guo Liangxian saw Xiao Zhao, he immediately bowed and said,
"Brother Xiao Zhao, please forgive me. This is my wife. I've brought her along to meet King Xian. Is that alright?"
Xiao Zhao's face lit up with joy. "Okay, please come in quickly."
Xiao Zhao's attitude became much friendlier. Guo Liangxian didn't pay much attention to it, but he also made sure to show that he had a good relationship with Yuan Xueyue.
After all, the couple's scandal caused a sensation in the capital.
Especially the King of Strings, he also said that this is not presentable!
Xiao Zhao personally led them into the mansion, passing the steward and the front yard, and went straight to the courtyard behind the main hall!
The waterside pavilions and terraces, and the leisurely gray curtains here are particularly fresh and comfortable!
A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it a gentle and comfortable atmosphere.
When Yuan Xueyue entered the palace for the first time, she was also stunned by its grandeur, especially since she had been walking for such a long time and still hadn't reached her destination.
Until we arrived at this courtyard, such a delicate place, the treatment given by King Xian to meet is too good, isn’t it?
Could it be that Prince Xian really wants to promote Guo Liangxian?
Yuan Xueyue had a bad feeling and felt uneasy. She really didn't want to witness such a moment in person.
But now that she was there, she looked up and saw a man in elegant clothes standing beside the fluttering grey curtain. He had a tall figure and an extraordinary bearing!
Yuan Xueyue's heart suddenly trembled.
At this moment, Guo Liangxian turned around, held her wrist, and led her up the wooden steps.
Dai Yixuan turned around and saw that he was extremely handsome. Just a quick glance made Yuan Xueyue lower her head in shame.
As a woman, you naturally shouldn't have too much eye contact or verbal communication with men outside your family.
"Meet the String King."
Guo Liangxian pulled Yuan Xueyue and knelt down to salute.
Yuan Xueyue also bowed respectfully, and quietly, a pair of black brocade shoes appeared before her eyes. Dai Yixuan said softly,
"You're here, but why did you bring your wife along?"
Guo Liangxian was startled. Hearing the gentle tone in King Xian's voice, he guessed that what they were discussing today must be good things!
"Of course. The letter said that we should let Prince Xian meet him to avoid that trouble. We are still very close as husband and wife, right Xueyue?" Guo Liangxian turned around and gave Yuan Xueyue a look.
Dai Yixuan said, "Your wife's name is quite nice, Waxing Moon."
Guo Liangxian's heart skipped a beat.
There are too many coincidences, right?
It’s fine that he has the same name as Prince Xian, but he can’t help but sigh, Prince Xian also cares about the word Yue in Yuan Xueyue’s name?
Guo Liangxian explained, "There is still a little difference. It's Wang's Yue."
Unexpectedly, Dai Yixuan continued,
"It's even more interesting. I didn't expect that General Guo and I have the same name. Your wife and I are even more compatible."
Guo Liangxian is ashamed!
Why didn't he think of that?
Does Prince Xian care so much about the meaning of such words?
"Well, it's such an honor for my wife to be praised by the King of Xian." Guo Liangxian said without thinking too much, and said to Yuan Xueyue,
"Why don't you bow to thank King Xian?"
Yuan Xueyue was about to kowtow again, but Dai Yixuan interrupted her and said, "No need."
"Please take your seats."
Dai Yixin raised his hand and gestured to the seat next to him, which was facing King Xian's seat!
Guo Liangxian was shocked instantly!
This is the first time I have received such generous treatment!
"Thank you, King Xian!"
Guo Liangxian immediately kowtowed, stood up and walked to the cushion to sit down. When he thought of Yuan Xueyue, he patted the cushion lightly, motioning her to sit down.
Dai Yixuan saw it all, but just raised his teacup to hide it. His eyes were full of deep meaning, and he looked at their actions with slightly narrowed eyes.
Yuan Xueyue nodded slightly and sat down without saying a word.
Anyway, she won't give Guo Liangxian any help!
She felt a little lost when she was about to witness Guo Liangxian climbing to the top!
The stronger the Guo family is, the lower the chances of her getting a divorce!
The melancholy in her eyes was clearly seen by Dai Yixian. Before Guo Liangxian could open his mouth to greet her, Prince Xian said,
"Your wife doesn't seem happy?"
"Ah?" Guo Liangxian was stunned and turned to look at Yuan Xueyue.
Yuan Xueyue immediately put on a calm expression and smiled slightly.
Guo Liangxian was puzzled. Why didn’t he see it?
Why does Prince Xian always pay attention to his wife?
