Guo Liangxian's cautious and respectful attitude shows his humility!
Fortunately, the servants in the main hall had gone out.
For the sake of your future, it’s not shameful to be so humble!
Nian, who was standing next to him, had a serious expression on her face and kept her eyes downcast. If her son Liangxian had any problems, she would explain.
In short, we must entertain Prince Xian well today!
This is the glory of their Guo family!
Yuan Xueyue's face looked a little haggard, but fortunately she covered it up with some light makeup.
She was not happy about the prince's arrival.
This means that the Guo family's status and power will rise to a higher level.
It was different from her previous life, which made her suffer!
After he finished speaking, Dai Yixuan raised his eyes slightly, but was not in a hurry to reply.
He glanced at Yuan Xueyue who was sitting next to him and said,
"How is your wife today?"
Nian and Guo Liangxian were looking forward to it solemnly, and Xiao Zhao, who was beside the prince, was also waiting to hear what news the prince would give today.
Unexpectedly, the prince said something shocking!
Guo Liangxian did not think too much about it, and just thought that the prince loved his wife and cared about her.
Guo Liangxian laughed awkwardly and said,
"My wife has been taking care of everything in the mansion these past two days to welcome the prince. It's really not easy."
Nian felt strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Nian said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for loving your daughter-in-law. I'm sorry to have caused you such a chuckle. Xueyue, quickly pay your respects to Your Highness."
Yuan Xueyue felt unwilling when she heard what Nian said.
But she still came to stand beside Guo Liangxian, straightened her clothes, knelt down and kowtowed,
"Your Highness is blessed with great fortune. I did not sleep well last night, and I am afraid I have neglected Your Highness. Please forgive me."
After saying that, Yuan Xueyue lowered her head and kowtowed.
Nian held her breath, and Guo Liangxian also swallowed a mouthful of water, waiting to see the prince's reaction.
Xiao Zhao glanced at the prince's attitude from the side. He put down the teacup slowly, sure that he would not embarrass General Guo's wife.
From the last scene in the waterside pavilion with the princess, after Zhuangzi inquired about Madam Guo's situation, Xiao Zhao also checked the previous events in Lucheng behind him.
Then, there was the envelope incident a few days ago.
All signs indicate that the prince recognizes General Guo’s wife!
But Xiao Zhao was confused. Why should the prince care about such a married woman?
Dai Yixuan put down his teacup and said in a gentle and soft voice, "No need to be so polite."
Then he looked at Guo Liangxian coldly and said,
"General Guo, what should we do now that your wife has worked so hard?"
Guo Liangxian was startled and quickly reached out to help Yuan Xueyue up, saying, "Please sit down. I'll take care of the prince. You don't need to worry."
Guo Liangxian bowed respectfully to Dai Yixuan and said,
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been very kind to my wife and a good general."
After that, Dai Yixuan fell silent again.
“…”
There were not many people in the main hall, and Dai Yixuan's silence on Guo Liangxian's words so many times made Guo Liangxian anxious!
Did he say something wrong?
Seeing this, Nian slowly came to Guo Liangxian with her cane and stood beside him, bowing and saying,
"Your Highness, please forgive me. My son Liangxian has relied on the palace for many years. The Guo family is truly grateful to Your Highness. Your Highness has come to my humble abode today. If there is anything important, please feel free to instruct my son."
Both mother and son were very respectful, but Dai Yixuan was still in no hurry to reply.
He drank it in one gulp, put down the teacup, and said indifferently,
"The tea is gone. In such a huge mansion, there are no servants to serve?"
Guo Liangxian, “…”
No, the prince just wanted to send me away!
Guo Liangxian said nervously, "It's my fault for not hosting you well, Xueyue..."
As soon as he shouted, Dai Yixuan suddenly said coldly, "General Guo, do you have no hands? You still need a woman to do your work for you."
Guo Liangxian was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the teapot and pour tea for the prince.
Xiao Zhao watched silently, "..."
He felt that the prince was here to make things difficult for General Guo.
Guo Liangxian poured the tea and said with an apologetic smile, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I didn't know you were..."
"Hmm?" Dai Yixuan glanced at him, and his cold gaze blocked Guo Liangxian's words.
Guo Liangxian immediately stepped back to the center of the main hall and stood with his head lowered.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhao realized it was her turn to speak. She said, "Don't worry, General Guo. The prince will explain the purpose of his visit."
"It's almost the end of the year, and you have a close relationship with the palace. Naturally, we can't let your Guo family suffer any loss, right?"
These words surprised Guo Liangxian and Nian!
Guo Liangxian rubbed his hands and said, "Master Xiao Zhao, you mean..."
Xiao Zhao's tone was calm.
"The harvest from your farm is quite low. The palace will give you some gifts one day. I heard that General Guo has taken in so many concubines. Can the palace afford it?"
Guo Liangxian was shocked and explained, "I can bear it!"
Xiao Zhao said, "Just don't plunder any women. Act like a soldier and don't bring shame to our prince."
Guo Liangxian waved his hands repeatedly, "Absolutely not! How dare I?"
Xiao Zhao understood the prince's meaning completely. Seeing that the prince still had nothing to say, she continued,
"Let's not talk about whether you dare or not. The people of this dynasty value propriety. The wife must be treated well. Don't spoil the concubine and break the rules, bringing ruin to your reputation."
That should be what he meant, right? Otherwise, why would the prince care about General Guo's wife?
The prince has not married yet, and General Guo has two wives and concubines. He simply doesn't take the prince seriously!
After saying this, Guo Liangxian was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed,
"I dare not!"
"I have always performed my duties conscientiously, both inside and outside the palace, and have never done anything that violates morality!"
These words frightened Guo Liangxian so much that he kowtowed twice and broke out in a cold sweat!
Anyone can misunderstand me, but not the prince!
"Um."
Dai Yixuan said, "I know you well. You have worked hard on the border for five years and have made great contributions. It is truly unfair that I have not promoted you."
Guo Liangxian's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "It's not hard at all! I'm deeply grateful for your concern, Your Highness!"
Dai Yixuan said, "Although you are not a subordinate of mine, you are still working under my command. Are you feeling at ease living in this mansion?"
Guo Liangxian said, "Don't worry! Your Highness rewarded me in my early years, and I will always remember it in my heart! Even if I am not promoted to a mid-level or upper-level general this time, I will still be grateful to Your Highness!"
Guo Liangxian immediately expressed his feelings, fearing that King Xian would misunderstand him!
"Don't be anxious. The middle position is a piece of cake. As for the higher-ranking generals, it will take a while for them to reward the rest of the soldiers before it's your turn. General Guo, just wait." Xiao Zhao echoed.
Dai Yixuan said, "Give it some time, General Guo, just wait patiently. During this time, Xiao Zhao will arrange a proper gift for you."
These are all things that the palace has no use for and have been piling up!
Xiao Zhao nodded in acceptance.
Guo Liangxian was deeply moved and kowtowed twice more, saying, "I bow to thank you, Your Highness!"
Dai Yixuan added, "As the year draws to a close, I will not mistreat my soldiers. General Guo, rest assured. I am here purely to visit you, so there is no need to be nervous."
Guo Liangxian bowed his head and said, "I understand! Your Highness's love and care for the soldiers is already a gift!"
It’s great that you can come!
If this news gets out, the Guo family will be very powerful in the capital this year!
