Heroic Wife Reborn

The army drillmaster Yu Xiaoxiao (玉小小) [aka “Little Jade”] transmigrated from a zombie apocalypse world into the body of the eldest imperial princess. On her first day, she got hitched to young Gen...

25 The princess just came in, and the concubine came to her

The old man said he wanted to invite a troupe to perform at the mansion, so Gu Xingyan asked Yu Xiaoxiao, "Princess, what kind of plays do you like to watch?"

As an instructor in the apocalypse, Yu Xiaoxiao was busy fighting zombies every day. She never participated in any entertainment activities until her death. When asked by Gu Xingyan, Yu Xiaoxiao used her limited cultural accomplishments, thought about it again and again, and said, "How about Romeo and Juliet?"

Gu Xingyan blinked, looked at the old lady who listened to the most operas in the family, and said, "What is she talking about?" Are the operas that the royal princess watches on weekdays different from the ones they watch?

The old lady said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, please tell me again, what do you want to see?"

Yu Xiaoxiao observed his expression and felt that she might have said something shocking again, so she said sympathetically, "Whatever, I watch all kinds of plays."

Gu Xingyan said: "What did you say just now?"

Yu Xiaoxiao shut up decisively.

Gu Xingnuo felt that the atmosphere in the main hall was a little awkward, so he said very considerately: "Grandma, let Her Royal Highness return to the bridal chamber. After all, today is Her Royal Highness's wedding day."

When Yu Xiaoxiao heard what Gu Xingnuo said, she hurriedly said, "I don't know where the new house is. Big brother, please take me there."

Gu Xingnuo was stunned for a moment. This should be done by the two sisters-in-law. How could it be done by him, the eldest uncle?

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Boss, take Her Royal Highness the Princess over there."

The old man spoke, and Gu Xingnuo didn't think much about it. He said to Yu Xiao: "Then Your Highness Princess, please follow me."

Yu Xiaoxiao followed Gu Xingnuo to the new house, and Gu Xingyan left the house to find the best opera troupe in the capital.

The old lady sighed and asked her daughter-in-law, the mother of the three Gu brothers, Madam Xu, "What do you think of the Princess?"

Mrs. Xu has always been a vegetarian in this family and has little presence. After hearing the old lady's question, she whispered, "My daughter-in-law thinks Her Royal Highness the Princess is very good."

The old lady said: "I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess is a martial artist."

Gu Chen said indifferently: "This is the daughter-in-law of my Gu family." Their Gu family is a family of generals, and the daughter-in-law and two granddaughters-in-law are all from scholarly families, which makes the old man somewhat regretful. Now that he has someone like Yu Xiaoxiao, the old man feels that he has got what he wanted. Why should the women of a general's family be so cautious and delicate?

The old lady rolled her eyes at her old man and said, "Don't forget that Xinglang can no longer ride a horse to fight."

The old lady's words were cryptic, but all the Gu family members present could understand them. What Gu Xinglang wanted was a daughter-in-law with whom he could live a peaceful life. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't look like someone who would live a peaceful life. When a couple gets along, it's either the east wind suppresses the west wind, or the west wind suppresses the east wind. Can Gu Xinglang control his daughter-in-law?

Gu Chen shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess today, our Gu family would be finished."

The old lady opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

"Her Royal Highness has saved our Gu family twice," Gu Chen said, "Madam, don't just think of Xing Lang as a treasure. Isn't the princess also a treasure held in the palm of the Queen's hand? The princess is willing to abide by the marriage contract and marry Xing Lang. What else do you want from Her Royal Highness?"

Now the old lady was even more speechless.

The old man looked at the women in the mansion who were all from scholarly families and said, "Her Royal Highness is a good person. Get along well with her. She is the woman who will accompany Xinglang for the rest of his life. Xinglang has already lost both legs, so our Gu family should compensate Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly stood up with her two daughters-in-law and said, "The daughters-in-law know."

Seeing the old man's serious look, the old lady couldn't help but said angrily: "You old man, it's as if we have bullied the princess!"

The old man said, "I don't ask about the affairs of the harem, but I have heard a lot about it. Don't think that the princess is ignorant of worldly affairs. The nanny beside her is not easy to deal with. Don't go and make yourself miserable."

Seeing that Madam Xu was about to lose face because of what the old man said, the old lady hurriedly said, "You are getting more and more excited. Who is Madam Xu? Don't you know who she is?"

The old man glanced at Gu Xingyan's wife, Lin, and said, "I am just saying this first."

Mrs. Lin lowered her head when the old man stared at her, feeling somewhat aggrieved. She was just a little more calculating in her daily life, but did that make her a bad person?

The old lady tried to smooth things over, "Okay, Your Highness the Princess hasn't ordered any show. Tell me what show we should order tonight?"

Gu Xingnuo sent Yu Xiaoxiao to the door of the bridal chamber, and several people heard a young woman's voice coming from the bridal chamber, "Third Young Master, this medicine has just been boiled. Let me feed it to you."

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't feel anything, but Nanny Wang's eyes suddenly became stern. This servant was serving the young master medicine and speaking in such a delicate voice. Is she seductive?

When Gu Xingnuo heard the voice, his face darkened. He quickly glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao, who looked dumbfounded, covered his mouth with his hands, coughed, and reached out to push the door.

Qingyu was standing in front of Gu Xinglang's bed holding a medicine bowl. When she heard Gu Xingnuo's cough, she didn't take a few steps back. She turned around and looked at Gu Xingnuo and said with a smile, "The young master is back?"

The new house is spacious and bright. Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the furniture in the house and gave it a thumbs up in her heart.

Nanny Wang was not in the mood for Yu Xiaoxiao. She walked up to Qingyu and said, "Oh, this maid is quite pretty."

Gu Xingnuo glared at Qingyu and said, "Why don't you come and meet Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Qingyu seemed to be frightened in an instant. She knelt on the ground with the medicine bowl in her hand and said to Yu Xiaoxiao in a trembling voice, "This servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."

When Nanny Wang saw Qingyu's attitude, she was shocked. She was pretending to be weak to gain sympathy. There was no woman in the palace who was not proficient in this trick. The prince consort had both legs disabled, how could he still attract other women?

Yu Xiaoxiao noticed Qingyu now, took a look at her, and said, "She's pretty."

Gu Xingnuo was afraid of something going wrong, so he ordered Qingyu, "Get out, you don't need to serve here."

Qingyu said, "It was the old lady who ordered me to come and help the Third Young Master drink his medicine."

"The old lady asked you to come?" Nanny Wang raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Xingnuo. No way? On the first day of their princess's marriage, the old lady had already arranged a concubine for the Third Young Master Gu?

Before Gu Xingnuo could open his mouth to explain to Nanny Wang, Yu Xiaoxiao came to Qingyu, stretched out her hand to grab Qingyu's collar, lifted the beauty up from the ground, raised her chin to touch the medicine bowl, and said, "What medicine is this?"

Qingyu glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao timidly and said, "Your Highness, I don't know, this is the medicine prescribed by the doctor."

Yu Xiaoxiao took the medicine bowl from Qingyu and smelled it. The taste of Chinese medicine was bitter. "He has broken tendons in his leg and needs surgery to reconnect them. What's the point of just taking medicine?" As she spoke, Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and poured the medicine out of the window.

"No!" Qingyu saw Yu Xiaoxiao was about to throw the medicine away, so he yelled and reached out to grab the medicine bowl.
