Chapter 292 Wang Heng
When Gu Huan and the others returned to the palace, Gu Huan was shocked by the scene before her.
The entire gate of the palace was decorated with gold and jade.
When they went in, they saw that the pavilions and towers were all hung with big red silk flowers. Everyone in the mansion was busy, and when they saw them come in, they all bowed and congratulated the prince and princess with a smile on their faces.
Gu Huan's eyes were slightly moist, and her little hand gently scratched Mu Junyan's big palm.
Mu Junyan looked down at her and said, "Are you touched? I want to give you a formal ceremony to be your husband. Moreover, tomorrow is our wedding night."
Gu Huan was both excited and shy, and couldn't help murmuring, "I've already given birth to a child, so what's the point of having a wedding night?"
"It's different. When you were crowned as the princess, there was no formal ceremony for you. Now that you are the princess, of course you have to do it in a grand manner."
Mu Junyan kissed her lightly on the top of her head.
Gu Huan was so embarrassed that she quickly pushed him away: "There are so many people watching here."
Mu Junyan laughed: "Didn't you say that the child has been born? What are you afraid of?"
"When will you two have your wedding?"
Gu Huan quickly changed the subject and turned to look at Zhou Zhilan and the others.
Zhou Zhilan was looking at the sweet interaction between Gu Huan and his wife with envy on her face, and when she was suddenly asked about herself, her face turned red.
Zhou Chunyu quickly said, "Both of my parents are gone, so the decision is up to the princess."
Gu Huan smiled: "Okay, you can leave it to me, but your betrothal gift must satisfy this princess. Zhilan is my real sister."
Zhou Chunyu smiled: "Don't worry, Princess. All my wealth belongs to Zhilan."
Zhou Zhilan was extremely embarrassed.
Gu Huan saw her blushing and lowering her head, feeling mixed emotions.
Who would have thought that Zhou Zhilan, who is usually so energetic, would be so shy and beautiful.
"Your Majesty."
Akabane caught up with them from behind.
Mu Junyan pulled Gu Huan to a stop and turned around: "What's wrong?"
Akabane clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the king requests to see you."
Gu Huan was surprised: "Lord Wang? Which Lord Wang?"
Mu Junyan looked down at her: "Wang Heng."
Gu Huan's eyes widened: "Why hasn't he left yet?"
Mu Junyan smiled faintly: "Not only does he take over the mines now, he may also become an envoy and visit the countries in southern Xinjiang."
Gu Huan was surprised: "He is an envoy? Will he do something bad?"
"Don't worry, just listen to what he says."
Gu Huan said hurriedly: "I'll go with you."
Wang Heng was very resentful towards her. How could he be willing to see her status becoming higher and higher? She was very worried that Wang Heng was planning something bad again.
"Okay. Go back and change your clothes first. Put on a princess-grade dress."
Gu Huan was stunned: "Ah?"
Donghua stood aside and smiled, "The prince has already prepared everything, including court robes and daily dresses."
"Xiubofang and Linlanglou only have time to make one season's work. They will continue to make work for the four seasons and send it to us when it's ready."
Gu Huan really didn't expect that he was so thoughtful.
When meeting Wang Heng, I naturally have to put myself in a good attitude.
Gu Huan changed her clothes and came out. Mu Junyan also changed into the prince's black golden python robe, which matched her green colorful crystal peony dress, making her look magnificent and majestic.
Gu Huan knew that Mu Junyan didn't like luxury, but when he supported her, he spent a lot of money.
The two of them arrived at the reception hall in the front yard.
Wang Heng had already changed into the robe of a third-rank court official.
Seeing a pair of dazzling people walking towards him, his eyes darkened, his eyelids lowered, and he saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Prince and Princess."
"No need to be polite." Mu Junyan said with a smile, and pulled Gu Huan to sit in the first seat.
Gu Huan walked past him and saw that his clasped fingers had turned white.
Is this too angry?
That's right. The daughter born by the daughter of the Wang family's side branch, whom he looked down upon the most, is now three ranks higher than him and has become a first-rank princess. How can the arrogant future master of the Langya Wang family swallow this humiliation?
Gu Huan wondered if Mu Junyan was trying to anger Wang Heng on purpose?
Gu Huan looked at him with a smile: "Lord Wang, why are you still in Juzhou? Do you think our southern border is so vast and rich in resources that you are reluctant to leave?"
Wang Heng was forced to look at Gu Huan, and his eyes were dazzled by the glittering golden dress she was wearing.
His tone suddenly became much colder: "Princess, I have official business under the order of His Majesty."
He didn't want to talk to Gu Huan anymore, so he turned to Mu Junyan and said, "Prince Mu, the mines have been handed over, and the Imperial Guards have taken over now. According to the order of His Majesty, since the military supplies and salaries of the Mu family army will be borne by Prince Yong's Mansion in the future, you can purchase the mines needed for forging weapons from the court."
Gu Huan looked at Mu Junyan.
This is going to strangle the Mu family army's weapon forging capabilities.
Previously, the mines were managed by the Mu family army. Every year, they would supply the required quantity according to the court's requirements, and the rest belonged to the Mu family army.
But now, all the mineral resources in southern Xinjiang have been taken back, and if the Mu family army wants to forge weapons, they must ask the imperial court to sell them. Mu Junyan smiled: "Okay."
"Prince Mu, I have been ordered by His Majesty to serve as the envoy to Southern Xinjiang. I will be visiting the countries in Southern Xinjiang soon. I will not come to say goodbye then."
"I wish you a safe journey, Lord Wang."
After seeing Wang Heng off, Gu Huan frowned.
"Do you think His Majesty's decision to appoint Wang Heng as an envoy is targeting us?"
Mu Junyan lowered his head and reached out to touch her brow: "Don't frown, it will cause wrinkles."
Gu Huan smiled: "Okay."
Mu Junyan held her hand and walked towards the inner courtyard: "Don't worry about these. Wang Heng can't make a big wave, Chiyan and the others will keep an eye on him. You, go to bed early tonight, and accept the worship of the people and the generals of the Mu family army tomorrow."
Gu Hua exclaimed, "No need?"
"You deserve it."
Mu Junyan said gently: "Your status as a princess is not just conferred by His Majesty, but you deserve it because you have done so much for the officers, soldiers and people of Southern Xinjiang."
Gu Huan was delighted: "Ziyuan, do you think we will be free from now on?"
Mu Junyan looked at the bright moon and stars in the sky.
"Then it depends on what you in Bianjing think."
Gu Huan's heart skipped a beat.
Mu Junyan has always been confident. The fact that he could say this shows that someone in Bian Jing is worried about them.
Gu Huan squeezed Mu Junyan's hand vigorously: "Don't worry about him. Whoever dares to hinder us from living happily, we will make him unhappy."
Mu Junyan laughed out loud: "Okay."
Gu Huan also laughed.
She really likes Mu Junyan’s smile.
In the past, he was always serious, as if he was carrying a heavy burden and was always cautious in every step.
Now, he is much more cheerful.
The next day.
Gu Huan woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes she saw the bright sun.
She was so frightened that she sat up suddenly: "What time is it? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Donghua and the others hurried in to help her get up.
"The master didn't want to disturb you, saying that you were too tired and needed a good sleep. You still have a hard day to work today."
Gu Huan sat in front of the mirror and urged: "You can't miss the time to go to mother's place. You must wake me up on time next time."
"Yes, Princess." Donghua and the others responded with a smile.
Gu Huan glared at them in the bronze mirror.
"Princess, I have prepared three dresses for you today. It's still early, so how about wearing a comfortable skirt first?"
Donghua led a group of maids and brought in three sets of hanging dresses for her to see.
Gu Huan was stunned: "This is too luxurious."
"The princess is as beautiful as a fairy, so the dress must be luxurious, otherwise it won't be able to suppress her beauty."
Gu Huan said coquettishly: "Donghua has also learned to speak sweet words."
Donghua giggled: "Thanks to the princess, we are all wearing new clothes today, otherwise we would not be worthy of the princess."
Only then did Gu Huan realize that they had all changed into new dresses.
"Well, it's beautiful. Was it arranged by Zhilan?"
"Of course." Zhou Zhilan's clear voice came.
"Sister." Gu Huan smiled and took her hand, "You look very beautiful today too."
Zhou Zhilan blushed, "When Zhou Chunyu ordered your wedding dress, he also ordered a few for me. He said that the princess looked so beautiful in it, and I couldn't match her without one or two nice dresses."
Gu Huan hurriedly pulled her to sit down: "Do you have any ideas? How do you want to hold your wedding?"
"No need to do anything, we are all old acquaintances."
"That won't do. Marriage is the most important thing in life, and you can't be careless about it."
Zhou Zhilan was very shy: "Really. Just set up a table in the house and have a good time."
Gu Huan shook her head: "That won't do. A grand wedding is not for others to see, but to tell a man to cherish the one in front of him. He must marry her solemnly so that she will be remembered in his heart."
Zhou Zhilan held her hand gratefully: "It's all up to you, Princess."
Gu Huan was very happy: "Okay, I will marry you to Zhou Chunyu myself."
