Chapter 456 The Queen Marries Her Sister
Chunzhi was quite surprised to hear this, but then she felt a surge of joy in her heart as she had finally waited for this day.
Yuzhu and Gu Yuanjia’s “affair” was not hidden so well. Even Chunzhi, her elder sister, had already discovered the clues and even secretly added fuel to the fire.
Chunzhi never expected that Gu Yuanjia, such a proud young man from a noble family, would put aside his pride and be Yuzhu's "concubine" for such a long time.
It was a bit unexpected that Yuzhu came to her and said that she wanted to give Gu Yuanjia a legitimate status.
Cui'er was helping the empress change her clothes. When she heard Yuzhu's words, she couldn't suppress her curiosity: Why don't you continue?
Previously in Xizhou, Master Gu treated Xiao Nian'er too well. It was rare for him to dote on his own daughter like that. Cui'er and others found it a little strange at that time.
But Yuzhu has a husband in the capital, and she is not very close to Master Gu on a daily basis. She doesn’t even talk as much as he does to them.
But they've lived next to each other for so long, it might not be that simple...
Those who can still serve the Empress were brought from Xizhou. They all pricked up their ears to hear what was going on between Yuzhu and Lord Gu Xiang.
"Have you really thought it through?" Chunzhi asked Yuzhu with a smile.
"I've made up my mind." Yuzhu was rarely so resolute, and she slowly said, "He drank a lot today and just came to me to ask for my status. I asked him...what would he do if I didn't give it to him?"
"What does Lord Gu say?"
Cui'er couldn't help but interrupt.
When Yuzhu came in, she did not ask the Queen to send her attendants away, but directly told the matter in front of everyone, which meant that she would no longer hide it.
She thought that Gu Yuanjia's patience might have run out and he would show his tough side, but Gu Yuanjia didn't. He said:
——If you don’t give it to me today, I will ask you again tomorrow. If it still doesn’t work tomorrow, I will ask you again the day after tomorrow. Day after day, year after year, there will be a day when you will be moved by me.
Gu Yuanjia seemed to be really different from before, and she was no longer the weak and helpless girl.
Gu Yuanjia is willing to change for her, and she can also be braver and braver for him.
"This Gu Yuanjia..."
After hearing what Yuzhu said, Chunzhi couldn't help but sigh.
"You're really adaptable!"
Song Wan'er's voice came from outside.
The next moment, Song Wan'er and Huo Yanran walked into the hall together, and the palace servants came forward to report to the empress.
"Sister-in-law, please don't blame them." Huo Yanran said with a smile, "Wan'er and I saw Yuzhu coming here with you, so we wanted to come over and rest. But as soon as we reached the palace gate, we heard... Yuzhu wanted to give Lord Gu a title. So, Wan'er and I couldn't help but come in directly."
Chunzhi wouldn't blame them at all. She smiled and said, "You two came at the right time. Let's think about how to best give this title."
Yuzhu has already divorced Ji Changfeng. Now that Ji Changfeng has Miss Xu and has been promoted to a higher position, his life will naturally be good.
On the other hand, for Gu Yuanjia, it would be simple if he could just grant the marriage.
When Song Wan'er heard this, she immediately said, "It would be so boring to just grant a marriage. It's so lively tonight, we need something interesting."
Moreover, she and Jiang Hao, as well as Shao Feiyang and Princess Xiling, were all married according to the emperor's arrangement, but now they have all parted ways.
It can be seen that the emperor's marriage granting is not a good sign.
Huo Yanran became interested when she heard this. "What good ideas do you have? Tell me!"
Song Wan'er said, "Yuzhu can throw the ball. A literary or martial arts competition to find a husband is more interesting than a direct marriage. Besides, our Yuzhu is so good, we must let Lord Gu see the scene of a daughter from one family being sought after by hundreds of families. He will cherish her even more because she is not easy to get."
"Wan'er's words are becoming more and more reasonable." Chunzhi turned to look at Yuzhu: "What do you think?"
Just as Yuzhu was about to speak, Song Wan'er interrupted her, "Sister Yuzhu, don't try to save trouble, and don't feel too bad for Lord Gu. Just dress up beautifully, and leave the rest to us."
"Yes." Huo Yanran fully supported Song Wan'er and directly asked the palace maids to dress up Yuzhu, taking out all the clothes and jewelry for her to choose from.
Yuzhu called out "Sister," hoping Chunzhi would speak up to stop them. Chunzhi smiled and said, "That's great. Let's do it."
Chunzhi changed her clothes and returned to the palace banquet first. When Huo Zheng saw her return, he naturally took her hand, leaned in close, and whispered in a low voice: "Why did you take so long?"
Chunzhi said, "There is good news."
Huo Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Tell me about it."
Chunzhi whispered a few words to Huo Zheng about Yuzhu and Gu Yuanjia.
Huo Zheng had known for a long time that Gu Yuanjia was fond of Yuzhu.
He even advised Gu Yuanjia not to force it, but Master Gu and Yuzhu suddenly got along peacefully later on, and Huo Zheng thought he had figured it out.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanjia had thought of making Yuzhu his mistress.
Now that Gu Yuanjia is the right prime minister of the dynasty, he can no longer continue to be someone's concubine. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, all the civil and military officials in the court will be too ashamed to raise their heads.
Fortunately, Yuzhu came to her senses and decided to give Gu Yuanjia a legitimate status.
When Chunzhi mentioned this, Huo Zheng wanted to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage immediately, but Yanran and the others were just watching the fun and wanted to make trouble. At this time, they wanted to make a "Queen marrying her sister and using a ball to find a husband" scene.
However, Chunzhi was also willing to join in the fun with them, so Huo Zheng naturally had to accompany her.
At the palace banquet, there was drinking and singing and dancing.
Huo Zheng coughed lightly twice and announced on the spot, "Today is a great day, a time of double happiness. The Queen's adopted sister is of the right age, both beautiful and intelligent. Today she is offering a ball to seek a husband. All the nobles who are interested in a relationship, please stand up and let me see."
When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking:
"Didn't the Queen's adopted sister just get divorced? Why is she getting married again so soon?"
"I heard that the Song family girl was forced to marry the Marquis of Pingxi by imperial decree, and they divorced immediately after the new emperor returned to the capital..."
"Today is such a good day, with all the talented young men gathered here. Could it be that he has taken a fancy to someone?"
When Jiang Hao heard these words, his brows furrowed and he stood up suddenly.
There were more discussions around, but under the pressure of Jiang Hao, the voices were lowered a little:
"Why did the Marquis of Pingxi stand up?"
"Didn't he just divorce Miss Song?"
"Could it be...that he is so angry that he has lost his mind?"
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they saw Lord Gu Xiang also stand up.
He was not as gloomy-faced as Jiang Hao, who made people feel as if his wife had run away.
There was still a slight smile on Gu Yuanjia's face, but even though he was smiling, no one dared to confront him.
Seeing this, many young officials and sons of powerful families at the palace banquet who wanted to marry the queen's sister and rise to prominence in the process stood up halfway through the banquet and then sat back down silently.
Even if the queen's sister is a fairy, they dare not compete with these two.
Gu Yuanjia and Jiang Hao, one is the youngest prime minister since the founding of the Daxing Dynasty, and the other is the Marquis of Pingxi who holds military power. They are the best in both literature and martial arts.
But if these two people were to fight for the wife on the spot, who would the new emperor and empress help?
