Empress Dowager Gu frowned, and after a long moment, she finally spoke: "If Ji Yuan had put so much thought into this marriage, and had begged the Emperor to come, he should have argued for it. Why did he give in so easily?"
Gu Tingchen looked at Gu Tingzhou, who was frowning, and deliberately reminded him, "Could it be that Wanwan wanted to cancel this marriage from the beginning?"
"impossible."
Gu Tingzhou shook his head with a determined look in his eyes: "How could she be willing to cancel this marriage? She must be playing hard to get because she's angry about Yue Ling. I'm going to find her and ask her clearly."
After saying that, he left Jiang Yueling behind and rushed out of the Cining Palace in anger without caring about anything.
"Young Master, wait for me."
Jiang Yueling became anxious and quickly chased after him.
Seeing the two of them disappear in the Cining Palace, Gu Tingchen smiled, his smile was extremely sinister.
"This bastard acts impulsively and recklessly. How can he be expected to shoulder the future burden of the Duke of Rong's Mansion?"
Queen Mother Gu, who had calmed down, had already realized that something was wrong and yelled at Gu An, "Go back and take good care of your useless son."
Gu An felt humiliated to see a good marriage being messed up like this. He immediately said, "I will definitely give the Queen Mother a satisfactory explanation."
After saying this, he glanced at Chang and Gu Tingchen with dissatisfaction, and left in a hurry.
......
After leaving the palace, Ji Yuan did not return home directly, but first rushed to the Yongning Palace.
He was originally worried that Fu Mingchi would not accept this marriage, so he did not dare to visit him these days. But now that he had the confidence, he felt much more energetic when he arrived at Prince Yongning's mansion.
It was afternoon, the warm spring sun shone on the ground, and the gentle breeze made the entire Yongning Palace immersed in a lazy atmosphere.
While the little troublemaker in the house was taking a nap, Fu Mingchi sat quietly in the study. He couldn't help but take out the blue handkerchief, raised his calm eyes, and that charming face inexplicably emerged in his mind.
"I wonder when it can be returned to its original owner?" He murmured silently in his heart.
"Your Highness."
There was a gentle knock on the door. Fu Mingchi quickly collected his thoughts and calmly hid the handkerchief in his sleeve.
Glancing at Yan Jin who had come in, he said two words lightly, "What's the matter?"
Yan Jin clasped his fists respectfully and bowed: "Prime Minister Ji is here to request an audience."
"Ji Yuan?"
Fu Mingchi's face darkened: "No."
Yan Jin suddenly showed his embarrassment: "Master Prime Minister is here to discuss the marriage between our two families."
"Didn't I ask Butler Zhao to go to the Ji Mansion and cancel this marriage?"
Fu Mingchi had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized that Butler Zhao was probably following his mother's instructions and was playing a double game with him.
He had never wanted to make friends with the Ji family, and today news broke in the mansion that Ji Yuan had married his daughter twice, which made him even more disgusted with the Ji family. He just wanted to end this evil relationship of unknown origin as soon as possible.
"Well, since he's here, let him in."
After Fu Mingchi finished instructing Yan Jin, he made no move to greet the guest. He remained seated in his study until Ji Yuan entered. He casually held a scroll in his hand and said, "If it's for your daughter's affairs, my Lord Prime Minister, please don't speak."
Ji Yuan was stunned.
As the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, he never thought that he would be ignored by him like this. His high spirits were instantly dampened.
Thinking about the calculations in his heart, he had to force himself to swallow his anger. Ji Yuan said with a sincere face: "Your Highness, the Concubine Dowager intends to have you enter the court. Today, my daughter was canonized as a princess by His Majesty. The marriage between the two families is a perfect match and will be of great benefit to Your Highness in taking control of Lin'an..."
"Prime Minister Ji is a man of foresight. Unfortunately, I am used to being lazy. I have no intention of joining your scheme, and even less of your daughter. Let us leave this matter between our two families at this point."
Fu Mingchi lost his patience and finally raised his eyes, glancing at him lightly: "Yan Jin, show him out."
Seeing his resolute expression with no room for negotiation, Ji Yuan's face was shrouded in gloom.
He sighed sadly, waved his wide sleeves, and walked out the door.
