Chapter 455 Give It to Him
Yuzhu obviously likes him, but she doesn't regard liking him as the most important thing in her life.
Just as she knew she could not be his legal wife, she turned away without even mentioning it.
Gu Yuanjia knew very clearly that this was his last chance.
So after struggling for three days, he gave up his pride and face and became Yuzhu's concubine.
Facts have proven that being a mistress brings everything except shame.
As for face, it doesn't matter as long as he doesn't care.
Gu Yuanjia was a concubine for three years.
To this day, everyone has been promoted, divorced, and made a fortune, each getting what they deserve.
Yuzhu didn't say anything for a long time, so Gu Yuanjia had to ask for it himself.
But even if he asked for it, Yuzhu might not give it to him.
Gu Yuanjia thought that Yuzhu might refuse, and when he really heard her say, "What will you do if I don't give you a status?", he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Threats and inducements only pushed her further away.
Being a concubine at least brings all the benefits except the status.
Gu Yuanjia naturally knew which one was better.
Yuzhu straightened Gu Yuanjia's messy clothes and said, "Okay, I know you are not drunk. You have been away for a while. Those people are waiting for you. Go back quickly, Lord Gu."
Gu Yuanjia enjoyed Yuzhu's gentleness and couldn't help asking again, "Today the new emperor ascends the throne, and the whole world celebrates. Are you really not going to give me another great joy in my life?"
The three greatest joys in life: meeting an old friend in a foreign land, getting your name on the list of successful candidates, and your wedding night.
Today, the new emperor ascended the throne, and those who were promoted were all colleagues who had worked with Gu Yuanjia in Xizhou for several years. The old and new friends finally filled the room with people in red and purple robes.
A common man was appointed as prime minister, which was a great rise to prominence.
Of the three great joys in life, Gu Yuanjia is now only missing the wedding night.
Yuzhu didn't answer, but just smiled and urged him, "Go back to the banquet quickly, don't keep the adults waiting."
She was so stubborn that Gu Yuanjia could only sigh and turn back to the table to continue socializing.
Yuzhu continued to be busy, arranging palace servants and eunuchs to pour wine and serve tea.
Soon, a palace maid ran up to Yuzhu and whispered to her that someone was looking for her.
Yuzhu looked back and saw Ji Changfeng, dressed as a military general, standing under a palace lantern not far away. The light and shadow were floating, and he forced a slightly stiff smile at her.
During the Rebellion of King Rui, Ji Changfeng fought against King Rui's army in the name of the Queen. He made great contributions and was promoted to deputy general of the imperial guards. Now he is General Ji.
However, after Yuzhu came to Beijing, she was busy taking care of various affairs in the palace and had never met her cousin from the Ji family.
Today is a great day. Many nobles have gathered in the palace. Ji Changfeng is in charge of guarding the palace, so he must have taken time out of his busy schedule to come here.
There must be something important that made him come at this time.
Yuzhu instructed the palace servants to do their work in an orderly manner and walked towards Ji Changfeng. "Congratulations, cousin, on your promotion."
Ji Changfeng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Congratulations, everyone."
If you really think about it, Yuzhu, the favorite of the Queen, has a much higher status than him, a deputy general.
"It's indeed a day of great joy." Yuzhu exchanged a few pleasantries with her cousin from the Ji family, then asked him directly, "Cousin, why are you here to see me at this time? Is there something important?"
"It's something very important indeed."
Ji Changfeng seemed hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Yuzhu guessed something, "But what about our divorce?"
"Yes." Ji Changfeng said that when Prince Rui was in control of the capital, he and the current commander followed the Queen's secret order to counterattack the rebellious army and almost died from a hail of arrows. It was Miss Xu who sneaked in and saved his life. This life-saving grace...
In fact, it is more than just a life-saving favor. Miss Xu has been chasing Ji Changfeng for the past few years. Even a man with a heart as hard as iron cannot withstand such harassment.
Ji Changfeng really wants to marry Miss Xu, but before that, he has to divorce Yuzhu first.
When Yuzhu heard her cousin say this, she chuckled and said, "Even if my cousin didn't come to see me today, I would have gone to see him too."
"You..." Ji Changfeng had just seen from afar Lord Gu Xiang and Yuzhu behaving intimately under the shade of a tree. He lowered his voice and asked, "You and Lord Gu Xiang..."
Yuzhu said: "He is Nian'er's biological father."
"So it was him."
Many of Ji Changfeng's doubts were resolved at this moment.
No wonder Gu Yuanjia was always full of hostility every time he saw Yuzhu with him.
No wonder Yuzhu couldn't escape and couldn't let go.
How could I forget someone like Gu Yuanjia when I met him when I was young?
Ji Changfeng used to worry that Yuzhu was not living a good life, but now that he sees that she has status and someone to rely on, he proposed a divorce.
Moreover, even if Gu Yuanjia was the right prime minister of the dynasty, he couldn't do anything to her.
"Congratulations, cousin, on finding your perfect match. The divorce agreement will be written tonight, and I'll have it stamped with the official seal."
Yuzhu said this and asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Divorce agreement—" Ji Changfeng took out two divorce agreements that he had prepared long ago, "I brought them."
Miss Xu watched him write it.
Miss Xu was very smart and had long seen that there was a problem with his marriage to Yuzhu. After much persuasion, she realized that Nian'er was not her biological daughter.
Today Ji Changfeng said he wanted to come to Yuzhu to ask for a divorce. Miss Xu was afraid that he would keep delaying for some reason, so she prepared the divorce documents in advance and asked him to bring them over.
Just two people need to sign and seal together.
Yuzhu also knew that this must be the work of Miss Xu. The cousin of the Ji family was upright and not good at speaking. He was a very good person. It was a godsend for him to meet a girl who truly loved him.
Fireworks filled the sky inside and outside the palace, there was singing and dancing, and everyone was chatting and laughing.
Yuzhu stood in a corner of this grand occasion, dipped her pen in ink, and signed her name on the divorce agreement. Then she handed the pen to Ji Changfeng, "My cousin has prepared everything very carefully. Now please sign and stamp it."
Seeing how skillfully Yuzhu signed the name, Ji Changfeng quickly wrote down his own name as well. They both stamped their fingerprints with red ink.
Ji Changfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It feels like a big thing has finally been solved.
Yuzhu bowed solemnly to her cousin from the Ji family and said, "Yuzhu thanks you for your protection, cousin."
Ji Changfeng gave her a place to stay when she was in the most difficult time.
Yuzhu will always remember this kindness.
"You and I are brother and sister, why are you saying these things?" Ji Changfeng helped her up. "Although I am only a deputy general, I am your brother. No matter if he is a prime minister or a prince, if he treats you badly, just tell me and I will help you beat him up!"
Yuzhu's eyes were slightly hot, and she smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
Ji Changfeng was in charge of the palace guards and could not stay here for long. After signing the divorce agreement, he said a few words to Yuzhu and left in a hurry.
Yuzhu asked the eunuch to send the divorce letter to the official in charge of this job to have it stamped, and then returned to the palace banquet and continued to be busy.
When she was about to go find Chunzhi, Chunzhi happened to say something in Huo Zheng's ear and got up and left.
Yuzhu hurriedly followed. It turned out that Chunzhi felt that the phoenix robe was heavy and it was very tiring to sit in the high seat, so she went to the back hall to relax. When Yuzhu went in, Cui'er and others helped the queen change her clothes.
Chunzhi was a little surprised to see Yuzhu coming over, "Yuzhu, why are you here too?"
Yuzhu stepped forward and said straight to the point: "Sister, I have thought it through."
Chunzhi looked at Yuzhu with a smile, "What have you figured out?"
Yuzhu's words were clear: "I want to give Gu Yuanjia a name."
