Chapter 478: Visiting for Advice
At the palace banquet at the beginning of the year, the queen suddenly said that she wanted to marry her sister. Then the female official Yuzhu came in a gorgeous dress and handed the embroidered bouquet in her hand to Gu Yuanjia in front of everyone, and the engagement was made in public, which really made Huo Yan envious.
In fact, he wanted to ask how Gu Yuanjia did it at that time?
However, Huo Yan felt that he could use his own methods to make Rendong accept his feelings, so he would not have to be so shameless as to ask Gu Yuanjia, with whom he had always been at odds, for advice on such a private matter.
But now, he really couldn't wait any longer.
"It's not that she's unwilling to accept this marriage," Gu Yuanjia corrected seriously, "She's just not ready yet."
Jiang Hao was about to speak when he heard Huo Yan urgently ask, "What preparations is she going to make?"
In the eyes of His Royal Highness Prince Jing, a woman marrying into a wealthy family is a blessing from heaven, and everyone else is rushing to do so, but Jindong is not interested at all. This really gives him a headache.
It just so happened that Gu Yuanjia's wife-to-be was in the same situation. He could ask her what she had thought before and how Gu Yuanjia had made her agree.
Gu Yuanjia said: "Marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life. If she entrusts her husband to the wrong person, not only will her life be ruined, but it will also affect her parents and children. Naturally, they must be extremely cautious."
Gu Yuanjia understood Yuzhu, so after he took ninety-nine steps, he was willing to wait for her to take the last step.
Like Yuzhu, Honeysuckle is a girl who lost her father at a young age and suffered a lot. They also admire beautiful women and like handsome men, but for them, love has never been the most important thing. It can only be the icing on the cake when it happens.
Huo Yan felt that what Gu Yuanjia said made sense, and immediately asked, "Then is there any way for Prime Minister Gu to get her ready earlier?"
"There is only one way," Gu Yuanjia said: "Wait."
"Just waiting?" Huo Yan felt that Lord Gu was not being honest and would not tell them the most useful things.
Jiang Hao poured a cup of fresh tea and handed it to Gu Yuanjia, "Now that we've come to this, Lord Gu, if you have any good ideas, don't hide them."
Seeing Jiang Hao like this, Gu Yuanjia knew that he came here for this matter too.
No wonder I have no interest in talking about business.
His Royal Highness Prince Jing is still direct.
Gu Yuanjia took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Of course I can't just sit there and wait."
Winning a beautiful woman is no easier than competing for fame and fortune in the court.
He said, first, you have to make your loved one accept your approach.
You can't use intimidation or force.
Therefore, things like face should be put aside when it is time to put them aside.
Huo Yan and Jiang Hao both thought it made sense and took note of it. Then they asked in unison, "What else?"
Gu Yuanjia taught them calmly to give full play to their strengths. If they wanted to win the favor of their loved ones, they must not sit back and wait. After doing everything they could, they had to wait for her to come to them willingly.
These things include giving her your heart.
I usually keep my virginity for her.
If necessary, take her to share the joy.
Be careful about everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Stay together year after year, happy day and night.
If you do these, you will get what you want.
That day may not come so soon.
But it certainly won't be too late.
Anyway, Gu Yuanjia had waited for it. He drank his tea slowly and said, "I don't have anything else to teach you. You two can figure it out on your own."
Gu Yuanjia embellished these words. After all, he couldn't tell these two people that he had been Yuzhu's concubine for several years before he finally saw the light of day.
"After listening to your words, I have suddenly realized something."
Huo Yan felt that what Gu Yuanjia said was very useful and much more reliable than what his mother said.
If he does this, Honeysuckle will definitely not refuse him again.
After Jiang Hao memorized it silently, he stood up and clasped his fists, "Thank you, Lord Gu, for your guidance."
Gu Yuanjia smiled and said, "I can't accept your generous gifts for nothing. So, I wish you both success in marrying your beautiful daughter."
…
After the Flower God Festival, there are ten major court meetings.
The emperor sits in the Golden Palace, and all officials gather in the Mingtang.
Although the new policies implemented recently have encountered many obstacles, overall there has been considerable progress. King Rui committed suicide in prison, and his family and children were imprisoned. Other ministers who defected to King Rui were also punished and exiled.
After discussing the important matters at court, someone reported the latest news from Xiling. "The Princess of Xiling has disappeared after being assassinated on her way back to the capital. It seems the princes of Xiling don't want her to return alive. Your Majesty, should we at Daxing intervene in this matter?"
The court officials were divided into two camps.
Some people felt that Princess Xiling had lived in the capital of Daxing for several years and had never done anything to harm Daxing. She even saved the late emperor at the Xishan hunting ground and did not fall out with Daxing when she returned to Xiling. If she came to power in the future, Xiling and Daxing would surely coexist peacefully, so it was necessary to send someone to intervene in this matter at this time.
Some people think that this is an internal matter of Xiling. If Daxing sends people to intervene and Ye Ninglan fails to take control of Xiling, it is very likely to cause a war between the two countries, so it is best to ignore it.
Huo Zheng did not make a decision on the spot. He said, "Let's discuss it later," and left the court.
All the officials bowed and retreated. Shao Feiyang hurriedly followed the emperor's procession and caught up with Huo Zheng, "Your Majesty!"
Huo Zheng knew that he had something to say, so he said slowly, "Let's talk in the imperial study."
Just at this time, Gu Yuanjia, Song Anlan, Mu Kaiji, Jiang Hao and others came over at the same time. These people were all close ministers of the emperor. Now that such a big thing happened in Xiling, the emperor did not make a direct decision in front of the civil and military officials, and he also intended to keep what to do a secret.
These close ministers did not leave and followed him without any prior arrangement.
Shao Feiyang had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and followed the emperor to the imperial study with everyone else.
It was morning, the sunlight was a bit dazzling, and the pavilions and towers in the palace were heavy and magnificent.
Huo Zheng arrived at the imperial study and sat down at the back of the room.
Shao Feiyang was the most anxious. This was his first time entering the imperial study. "General Shao Feiyang requests permission to go to Xiling."
Huo Zheng had known Shao Feiyang for so many years, so he naturally knew that he was not completely without feelings for Ye Ninglan, otherwise he would not have been so anxious when he heard that she had been assassinated several times on her way back to Xiling.
But he did not agree immediately. He just took the teacup handed to him by the eunuch, took a sip slowly, and asked Shao Feiyang in confusion, "What are you going to Xiling for?"
Shao Feiyang choked for a moment, then immediately replied: "I will represent Daxing to help Princess Xiling."
Gu Yuanjia then entered and said slowly, "If you want to help Princess Xiling, it would be better to send someone else. General Shao and Princess Xiling were once known to be husband and wife. If you go to Xiling, I'm afraid the people of Xiling will misunderstand that you are still connected with her, and then you won't be able to explain it clearly."
"Yes." Jiang Hao continued, "Now that the court is stable, several generals are bored. A trip to Xiling is a good opportunity to relax and unwind."
Huo Yan said, "We can choose another person for this matter. It would be better for General Shao to avoid suspicion."
Shao Feiyang was so anxious that he was furious. "Human lives are at stake. Why are you still avoiding suspicion? What's there to avoid?"
