Prime Minister Guo said confidently: "As long as it is for Your Majesty and for the Great Zhou, the Guo family is willing to give everything and go through fire and water without hesitation!"
The news soon reached the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Guo Lingxi had not yet recovered from the grief of losing her mother and brother when she suddenly heard that she was going to marry a foreign prince.
She was not feeling well at all.
She went to Prime Minister Guo's yard and waited until Prime Minister Guo came back.
"Grandfather! I don't want to go to the marriage!"
Prime Minister Guo glanced at the servants behind Guo Lingxi. The servants were silent as a mouse, and hurriedly lowered their heads, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.
Prime Minister Guo took the person to the study.
"This is His Majesty's will, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Guo Lingxi said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you going to send the princess to marry? I'm not a princess!"
Prime Minister Guo looked at her and said, "You will be one soon."
Guo Lingxi was stunned.
She will be adopted by His Majesty as a daughter, with the status of a princess and a royal seal.
In the past, she might have been ecstatic, but right now, the princess's body was a hot potato.
Guo Lingxi bit her lip and said unwillingly, "Isn't it Hui'an? Isn't there Hui'an? Why did it become me?"
Prime Minister Guo said earnestly: "You are a county lady, and you are almost no different from a princess."
Guo Lingxi could not hear anything: "He doesn't want his daughter to marry far away in another country, so he comes to harm our Guo family's daughter?"
Prime Minister Guo's face darkened: "Shut up! Don't let me hear these treasonous words again!"
Guo Lingxi was unwilling to give up, so she entered the palace again and met the Empress Dowager in Zhaoyang Palace.
She knelt in front of Bai Xihe and begged bitterly: "Aunt, you have to save Lingxi..."
Bai Xihe covered the half-read book with the Book of Songs and said, "I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter."
Guo Lingxi crawled to Bai Xihe on her knees, grabbed her sleeves with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes, "No, auntie... You are the Grand Empress Dowager... As long as you go and ask His Majesty... His Majesty will definitely take back his decision... Wasn't it you who asked His Majesty to confer Lingxi the title of Princess?"
Bai Xihe said: "These are two different things. The enthronement of a princess is a family matter, and the marriage is a state matter. They cannot be confused."
Guo Lingxi said sadly: "But why must it be me..."
Bai Xihe was also confused.
She had clearly heard that the one going to marry was Princess Hui'an.
She glanced at Guo Lingxi, who was crying uncontrollably, and had the answer in her heart.
If that was the case, she would have no way to stop Guo Lingxi from marrying.
Guo Lingxi choked up and said, "Aunt, Aunt, please save Lingxi... Can you let someone else go? Since Lingxi can replace the princess, someone else can too..."
Bai Xihe said softly: "Lingxi, not everyone is qualified to be the candidate for the marriage. You are a princess and the granddaughter of the prime minister. You have a noble status, so you can go to marry on behalf of the princess."
An idea suddenly flashed through Guo Lingxi's mind: "She! She can do it!"
Bai Xihe asked: "Who are you talking about?"
Guo Lingxi's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Su Daya! Su Daya is the daughter of the Qin family! Her status is comparable to mine, and she knows medical skills. If she goes to marry, wouldn't she be more able to——"
"She is already engaged." Bai Xihe's voice became a little colder.
Guo Lingxi didn't notice that Bai Xihe's attitude had changed: "The engagement can be cancelled!"
Bai Xihe said calmly, "Okay, putting aside the engagement, she has the military power of the entire Qin family behind her. You want her to marry into the Western Jin Dynasty because you think the throne of the Great Zhou Emperor is too secure?"
"Aunt, I..."
"I am tired, please kneel down and greet me."
…
Su Xiaoxiao has been going to bed early recently and heard about this incident the next day.
"Guo Lingxi?"
Prime Minister Guo was an old fox who cared only about power and had no affection for his family. Guo Huan's accident made him feared by Emperor Jingxuan, and he was in urgent need of an opportunity to make a contribution.
As long as it's not Jingning and Hui'an, the rest of the people have nothing to do with her.
She went on with her business.
When others are getting married, they are embroidering wedding dresses, preparing dowries, and choosing bridesmaids, but she studies her arms, studies her arms, studies her arms! When eating, her arms are on the table.
Sleep with your arms on the bed.
When taking a bath... well, I wasn't sure if I could get wet, so I just held him and took a bath together.
The maids were frightened at first, but later they got used to it.
After a period of research, Su Xiaoxiao felt that this arm might not be a simulated arm, but a bionic arm.
In fact, as early as in her previous life, someone had developed a bionic arm that could reconnect the sensory nerves through nerve transplantation, allowing the brain to directly control the arm.
It has not been popularized in the market because its technology is not mature enough and the cost is very high.
And this arm is obviously much more advanced than the bionic arm in the previous life.
First, it's more aesthetically pleasing.
...I am truly obsessed with looks.
"Xing'er, where is the Sixth Young Master?" Su Xiaoxiao asked the maid in the room.
Wei Liulang lived in the Qin family as the martial arts teacher of the three little ones.
The little maid said, "I went to the garden with some young masters."
It was too hot in the capital in June. The three little ones were so hot that they were sticking out their tongues. Wei Liulang took them out for boating.
As he was paddling, he caught a glimpse of a furtive figure on the top of the wall.
He moored the boat to the shore, called the three little ones up, and asked the servants to watch while he went to block a guy who was halfway over the wall.
"We can't meet before the wedding." Wei Liulang said, "Just bear with it for a while, it won't be long."
Wei Ting snorted, "Sixth Brother, if you can come, why can't I come?"
Wei Liulang glanced at him and said, "I'm different. My grandmother asked me to come here to guard against you."
Wei Ting's mouth twitched, and he said in a cold voice: "I'm not seeing her, I'm seeing my own sons. I haven't seen them for a long time, they must miss me a lot."
Wei Liulang went to pick up Xiaohu who was peeling lotus pods and said, "Xiaohu, do you miss your daddy?"
Wei Ting had not found this person for a month. When Xiao Hu first heard the name "Dad", he was stunned. His expression seemed to say: Dad is salty? Can I eat it?
Wei Ting: ...It hurts.
Wei Ting climbed the wall from the other side.
The man in white clothes and a bamboo hat stood on the wall, looking down at him: "Young Master, do you want to go down by yourself, or do you want me to kick you down?"
Wei Ting: Baili Chen, you are so cruel!
When Su Xiaoxiao came to find Wei Liulang with her arms folded, Wei Ting had already been dragged away from the ground by Baili Chen like a sandbag, with a look of despair on his face.
"Sixth brother." Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.
Wei Liulang nodded slightly: "Xiaoxiao."
Su Xiaoxiao opened the box and showed him a golden arm.
Wei Liulang was startled: "This is..."
"Your new arm!" Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's divided into several stages. In the first stage, you need to wear a socket. After you get used to it, you can remove the socket and have an operation to connect the neurons. If successful, you will have a brand new arm. How is it? Do you like it?"
Wei Liulang didn't understand the professional terms, but he roughly understood that this was the new arm made for him by his sister-in-law.
He only took one look and his heart began to beat fast.
He...likes it so much.
