Looking at the Emperor, Empress Dowager Gu said, "The policy of marriage is imperative. Princess Qining has good intentions and is willing to consider the overall situation and send Princess Tongyang back to Lin'an. Please ask the Emperor to issue an edict to confer the title of Princess Jinfu on Princess Qining. As for the girl from the Ye family, grant her the title of Princess Jinghe and let her enter the northern border to marry."
When the Yongning Palace falls into civil strife, she will have no worries when she ascends the throne.
Slowly standing up, Empress Dowager Gu took the initiative to help the emperor up and said hypocritically: "As the ruler of a country, how can the emperor give up his responsibilities so easily? It is better for him to go back early and handle government affairs with peace of mind."
After saying this, he ordered people to escort the emperor out of the Cining Palace.
Zhou Fuhai had long seen that the Queen Mother was intent on ruling the country, and he worriedly said, "Queen Mother, if you simply wish to rule the country, Duke Rong and his son, as well as the entire Gu clan, will certainly support you. But if you allow Princess Jinghe to enter the northern border as a marriage alliance, I'm afraid the young master won't comply."
"I don't know what he's thinking. Everything this brat did in Yuezhou this time was for that girl from the Ye family."
With a long sigh, Queen Mother Gu raised an eyebrow and said, "That's why we should send that girl out of Lin'an. How can we keep such a beauty who brings disaster by her side? A hundred years from now, the Gu family will still be relying on this brat. How can we let him be delayed by a woman?"
After a moment's thought, Empress Dowager Gu immediately instructed, "Since the Emperor is sensible and willing to step aside, draft an imperial edict for me and send it to the Duke of Rong's Mansion, announcing to the world that my nephew, Gu Tingchen, has been instrumental in stabilizing the situation in Yue Province and is being granted the title of Prince Dao'an."
Zhou Fuhai nodded after some thought: "This way, we can not only appease the young master, but also see if anyone dares to disrespect the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Gu smiled with relief: "Go ahead. When you return from Duke Rong's Mansion, remember to invite Princess Jinghe into the palace. She is heading to the northern border with the safety of the Great Ye Dynasty on her shoulders. I must comfort her well, but don't let her let me down."
"Yes," Zhou Fuhai responded and left immediately.
......
In Cuiweitang, Ye Wanshu ordered people to tidy up the yard, and then accompanied Gu Qingmian and Gu Tingji, brother and sister, to have a peaceful meal in the house.
After all the commotion today, she guessed that Gu Tingchen probably had no intention of joining in the fun. She had a brief moment of freedom and wanted to accompany the siblings to Changle Street to relax after dinner. Just as she had someone set the table, she saw Xingtao walk in with a dark face.
"Miss, the guy from Biqingzhai said he wants to see you," Xingtao said with a pout.
"Jiang Yueling." Ye Wanshu's face darkened. "No."
As soon as the voice fell, a harsh voice rang out: "My cousin went to Yuezhou, and the money is getting bigger and bigger."
The three siblings looked over when they heard the sound and saw Jiang Yueling leading the maid in.
"Cousin, now that you are engaged to Prince Yongning, shouldn't you return the eldest son to me?" Jiang Yueling said dissatisfiedly.
Ye Wanshu rubbed her brows speechlessly. "Jiang Yueling, you've come to the wrong place. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
Gu Qingmian also snorted coldly: "You can't control your own man, and when you feel ignored, you want to embarrass my cousin. Do you really think that everyone in the Duke's Mansion holds you in the palm of their hand?"
"Third Miss, your eldest brother disappeared when your cousin left the Duke's Mansion, and I also heard that someone saw the eldest young master in Yuezhou." Jiang Yueling said aggrievedly, "It was clearly your cousin who instigated the eldest young master to run away from home. How can Third Miss be so biased towards her?"
"My eldest brother's legs are on his own body. What does it have to do with my cousin where he goes?" Gu Qingmian shouted angrily, "Please get out of Cuiweitang immediately, otherwise I don't have as good a temper as my cousin."
"Third Miss, I am your eldest sister-in-law after all, how can you be so rude?" Jiang Yueling frowned angrily, touched her lower abdomen and began to groan in pain.
She secretly gave the maid beside her a look, and the maid supported her and began to yell non-stop: "Miss, are you having a miscarriage?"
Ye Wanshu was startled when she heard this. She silently looked at her slightly bulging belly and thought to herself that something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, a few months after leaving Lin'an, this person was already pregnant, and I don't know which of the brothers the baby was.
At this moment, Gu Tingzhou walked in from outside.
Seeing the situation inside the house, he glanced at Jiang Yueling unhappily: "What are you doing in my cousin's courtyard again?"
Seeing him, Jiang Yueling's face was filled with joy. She excitedly grabbed his arm and said, "Master, you are finally back. I missed you so much."
Gu Tingzhou subconsciously shook her off and looked towards Ye Wanshu, asking warmly and concernedly, "Wanwan, why are you back in Lin'an again?"
Ye Wanshu kept a cold face and did not answer him.
Gu Tingzhou hurriedly explained, "I heard in Yuzhou that you had left Yuhua Town, so I rushed back without stopping."
Seeing him trying so hard to please the little bitch from the Ye family, totally disregarding herself, Jiang Yueling felt extremely angry and secretly winked at the maid.
The maid hurriedly said, "My Lord, since you left, Miss Jiang has lost her appetite and has lost a lot of weight. She is pregnant with your child."
Only after hearing that Jiang Yueling was pregnant did Gu Tingzhou look at her straight in the eye.
Seeing her bulging belly, Gu Tingzhou couldn't help but frown: "Since you are pregnant, why are you still running around?"
"I'm also worried about the safety of the eldest young master." Jiang Yueling felt very aggrieved: "I just came to ask about my cousin, but she, the third young master, and the fourth young master were full of hostility towards me."
Gu Tingzhou suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"Wanwan, this is all my fault. If you have any complaints, you can come to my cousin." Gu Tingzhou closed his eyes. "Yue Ling and the baby in her belly are innocent after all."
