Gu Jiu caught up with Princess Huyang at the palace gate.
"I'll take my aunt home."
Gu Jiu forcibly pulled Hu Yang onto the carriage.
Hu Yang felt a little guilty, "Why do I need you to take me back home?"
Gu Jiu smiled at her and said, "Aunt, you don't have to be polite with me. I just like to give you gifts."
Without further ado, Hu Yang was pushed onto the carriage first. Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiu also got on.
The carriage started moving, and now Huyang couldn't get off the carriage even if he wanted to.
"Aunt is in a good mood! You got lucky today."
Gu Jiu looked at Princess Huyang with a half-smile.
Princess Huyang smiled guiltily, "My nephew's wife, you have worked hard this year."
"I'm not tired. No matter how hard I work, it's not as hard as my aunt's worry and calculations for my sister Minmin's marriage."
"It's not a calculation. My nephew's wife, you misunderstood."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Does my aunt have a grudge against me?"
Princess Huyang denied it repeatedly, "How could that be possible! I can have a grudge against anyone, but I won't have a grudge against you, my nephew's wife."
Gu Jiu: Haha!
"Since there's no grudge, what's your aunt's intention in bringing up my cousin Su in front of His Majesty today? If I remember correctly, I already rejected this marriage. Why is your aunt trying to put me in such an unfair position?"
"Oh, I have no choice." Princess Huyang was forced by Gu Jiu and began to complain.
She wiped her tears and said tearfully, "My nephew's wife, I have a miserable life. There is no one around me who understands me, my son and I are alienated, and my daughter's marriage is very difficult.
The Queen Mother has been looking for a match for Minmin all year, but there hasn't been a single suitable one. Either we don't like each other, or they don't like us.
I was thinking, how wonderful it would be if I had the chance to become even closer to my nephew's wife. I don't trust anyone else, but I have 100% trust in my nephew's wife."
Gu Jiu sneered, "Minmin is not marrying me, so does it matter to me whether she believes it or not?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Princess Huyang nodded repeatedly, "My nephew's wife is so capable, and your cousin Su is so valued by you, so he must be quite good. I just want Minmin to have a good home, and I have no bad intentions."
Gu Jiu frowned, very dissatisfied. "Aunt only thinks about Minmin having a good home, why doesn't she think about my dilemma. On one side is my cousin, and on the other side is my husband's cousin. It's not right for me to side with either of them.
Another thing is that Minmin is at least the emperor's niece. If she marries cousin Su, will he still be able to get promoted normally?
I'm afraid that if I achieve something and get a promotion, people will say I've married a good wife. My cousin Su may not have much in other ways, but he's definitely ambitious. He never thought of relying on his wife for promotion."
Princess Huyang waved her hands repeatedly, "My nephew's wife, you think too much. Don't think that my Minmin is the emperor's niece, and it sounds like she is precious. In fact, she is just a weed.
I'm your Majesty's biological sister, yet he refuses to grant me the title of Princess. Minmin, you're just a niece, and I can assure you that your Majesty will never grant her a title. Not to mention the title of County Princess, he won't even grant her the title of Country Lady.
As long as Minmin doesn't have a title, it won't hinder your cousin Su from getting promoted and making money. He can continue to be an official. As long as he is willing to treat my Minmin well, that's all that's fine."
Gu Jiu didn't give in. "It's not like Minmin can't get married. Aunt, there's no need to keep staring at my cousin Su. My uncle and aunt are both in the capital. They've been busy looking for a marriage for cousin Su for the past six months. I guess there should be some news. Minmin can only find another good match."
"No, your cousin Su's marriage hasn't been settled yet. I've been keeping an eye on this matter, so it can't be fake."
Gu Jiu: I almost vomited blood.
It turns out that Princess Huyang has been keeping an eye on the Su family's movements.
Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes and pointed directly at Princess Huyang, "My cousin Su is both talented and virtuous. It doesn't make sense that he hasn't found a suitable marriage after all this time. Could it be that someone is secretly making trouble and secretly hindering my cousin Su's marriage?"
"No, no. Nephew's wife, you are too worried."
Hu Yang's eyes were vague, and it was clear that he was feeling guilty.
Gu Jiu smiled coldly, and then said, "Aunt has really put a lot of effort into cousin Minmin. Minmin probably doesn't know everything Aunt has done.
And my cousin Su, if he knew that his marriage was full of obstacles because the princess was secretly obstructing it, do you think he would be willing to marry cousin Minmin? After marrying Minmin, would he treat her well? "
"He can't do this."
"If the princess dares to do it, why can't he? If you dare to do it, you must dare to take responsibility."
Gu Jiu turned his face away.
Hu Yang was speechless and wanted to yell.
When I met Gu Jiu's eyes, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
She reacted very quickly and burst into tears. "My nephew's wife, I was wrong. You must not tell the Su family about this. I will accept it even if you hit me or punish me. Woo woo..."
Gu Jiu was unmoved. "Why should I hit you or punish you? You are the elder and I am the younger. I only have respect for the princess."
He spoke of respect, but his eyes were extremely cold.
Princess Huyang panicked, "I really don't mean any harm, I just want Minmin to have a good home."
"My Lady, have you asked my cousin Su for his opinion? If he is willing to marry Minmin, I will have no objection. But if he hesitates even a little, this marriage will be a sin for both you and me."
Gu Jiu's face was serious.
She is not willing to do matchmaking.
The Su family is the weaker party in front of Princess Huyang.
Gu Jiu was absolutely unwilling to help Hu Yang and bully the Su family.
Therefore, no matter what the outcome of this marriage is, at least it must be a voluntary one, without any coercion or difficulty.
Huyang secretly used means to destroy cousin Su's marriage, which is bullying and unfair competition.
Gu Jiu would never watch his cousin being bullied like this, and even his marriage being manipulated.
The Liu family is used to controlling the fate of the common people. Now they have this bad habit of using it on one of their own people. Do they treat her as a dead person?
Princess Huyang cried, "Nephew's wife, what do you say we should do? If you are unhappy, then I will stop now."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly.
She said, "Call all your people back to me. If I find out that someone is still eyeing the Su family, don't blame me for turning against you.
In a couple of days I'll be at the Su family's house for a banquet. I'll tell my uncle and aunt about Minmin's marriage. Whether they agree or refuse, you're not allowed to make things difficult for them.
If you want my cousin Su to marry Minmin, don't use any coercion. Only when both parties are truly attracted to each other and are willing, can this marriage be successful."
Princess Huyang's anger turned into joy. "Don't worry, nephew, I'm totally willing. Minmin is also happy about it."
Gu Jiu looked at Hu Yang with a half-smile, "How does the princess know that Min Min is willing?"
"I'm her mother, how could I not know what she's thinking? Today in the Cining Palace, when I mentioned your cousin Su, that girl became tempted. I saw it all."
Princess Huyang is particularly arrogant.
Gu Jiu was speechless.
She was worried about Hu Yang, so she sent him to the Princess's Mansion and reminded him, "Don't do unnecessary things."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare do anything unnecessary under your watchful eyes."
Could it be that they had been planning to destroy as many as possible, which was why they sent people to keep an eye on the Su family?
Gu Jiu was completely speechless about Hu Yang.
Princess Huyang said goodbye to Gu Jiu with a smile and returned to the Princess's Mansion.
The maidservant beside her was indignant on Hu Yang's behalf, "Why should the princess be afraid of Madam Zhao? She is the younger generation, and she should listen to the princess's instructions."
"Shut up."
Princess Huyang gently scolded her trusted maid.
But she also thought about it, why was she afraid of Gu Jiu?
How strange!
I thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with an answer.
In the end, Hu Yang attributed it all to an illusion.
She was afraid of Gu Jiu, this must be an illusion.
"Whether I will have a comfortable life in the future or a life of poverty and thirst depends entirely on Xiaojiu. You all have to be very careful in front of Madam Zhao. If anyone dares to speak rudely and anger Madam Zhao, I will drive her away."
After Princess Huyang spoke, the maids put away their little thoughts.
After so many years, our princess still couldn't escape from Madam Zhao's clutches. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
…
When Gu Jiu returned to the palace, Yu Ge'er had already woken up from a nap.
Because he was young and slept a lot, Gu Jiu did not bring him into the palace.
"Mom, hug me!"
Gu Jiu picked him up.
I weighed it and it was very heavy, probably about thirty pounds.
Gu Jiu held him and sat down, "When did you wake up?"
"He just woke up a while ago." Nanny Fang answered for Yu Ge'er.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Mammy, you've worked hard all day. Go and rest first. I'll take care of him next."
Yu Ge'er hugged Gu Jiu's neck, looking like he didn't want to leave once he got close to her.
Nanny Fang smiled and said, "Very well, I will go and rest first. If Madam is too busy, please ask the wet nurse to help."
"I know."
Since Yu Ge'er turned two years old, Gu Jiu has been controlling the amount of breast milk Yu Ge'er drinks.
He even raised a dairy cow just to provide Yu Ge'er with more nutrition.
Nowadays, wet nurses are more responsible for helping to take care of the children rather than feeding them.
The maid brought hot water, and Gu Jiu washed Yu Ge'er's cheeks and wiped his fingers.
Wipe each of your ten fingers clean.
Gu Jiu asked him, "Are you still sleepy?"
Yu Ge'er shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, I want to play."
"Shall we study?"
"No, I want to play with building blocks."
Gu Jiu pinched his cheek again and asked the maid to take out the building blocks.
Yu Ge'er is definitely not a good kid. Instead, he is very rebellious and has his own opinions.
