On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the palace held a banquet to entertain guests.
All relatives from each family were invited, including royal relatives, and sixty tables were set up for the banquet.
All expenses will be paid for by the Shaofu.
Princess Huyang specially took Chen Min out of the palace.
Unexpectedly, this matter also alarmed Emperor Wende.
Upon learning that Hu Yang had taken Chen Min out of the palace for a blind date, and that the person he was meeting was Gu Jiu's cousin, Emperor Wende smiled and said, "In that case, after you have met each other, I will summon Su Zheng. I want to see with my own eyes how good he really is."
"My royal brother, please don't embarrass him."
"I'm going to protect you now, haha. What if the other party doesn't agree to this marriage? What will you do?"
Emperor Wende was testing Princess Huyang's attitude.
Princess Huyang said confidently, "My Minmin is so good, there's no reason for him to look down on her."
Emperor Wende chuckled. Even if someone likes Chen Min, they may not like Chen Min's mother.
"Go ahead and take a good look at each other. It doesn't matter if we're not compatible. I'll arrange a marriage for Minmin tomorrow."
Hu Yang despised her, and she didn't want an arranged marriage.
After Hu Yang left, Emperor Wende, who was in the Cining Palace, shook his head repeatedly, "Hu Yang has remained the same for years, his temper still the same. He even dared to reject my arranged marriage."
Empress Dowager Xiao naturally spoke up for her precious daughter. "Although she has a bad temper, she never has bad intentions. She says whatever she thinks and would never do anything to harm others in private. You can rest assured about her."
"Of course I trust her, but I'm worried that she'll embarrass herself outside."
"It's also a disgrace to my family."
Empress Dowager Xiao's attitude was to take charge of everything in Huyang. She told Emperor Wende not to care about Huyang's unruly behavior and nonsense.
Emperor Wende laughed heartily. "Since my mother has said so, how can I bother with Huyang? Let her be. She is my only sister, and I must let her live a comfortable life."
Just let him raise the little wolfpuppy. Anyway, he doesn’t have to pay for Huyang to raise the little wolfpuppy.
Empress Dowager Xiao felt relieved.
The mother and son reached a tacit understanding.
Empress Dowager Xiao no longer fought for the title for Huyang, and Emperor Wende no longer cared about Huyang's mess and gave her enough freedom.
As long as he doesn't violate the law and doesn't get involved in the struggle for the throne in the court, Emperor Wende is still very tolerant of Huyang.
Empress Pei learned of this conversation and secretly sighed, "Huyang still lives the most freely. I am a little envious of her."
Wen Shaojian said, "Your Majesty, why should you envy Huyang? This is how Huyang's life will be. He is a hopeless person and will even bring trouble to his children's marriages."
Empress Pei laughed after hearing this. "You're right. If you think about it carefully, there's nothing about Huyang that I should envy."
There is no better way to raise a wolf puppy than to have the complete guide at hand.
Queen Pei clenched her fists, power is the true love.
…
Hu Yang brought Chen Min and hurried to the palace.
On the gate of the palace, the three big characters "Ning Wang Mansion" are still hung.
Emperor Wende didn't care, and the court officials were too lazy to ask.
Since you have saved money, don't worry about whether it is in accordance with the rules. Otherwise, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue will give you a hard time.
After entering the palace, Hu Yang looked for Gu Jiu everywhere.
Finally found the person in the flower hall.
"Nephew's wife, where is your cousin Su? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Gu Jiu was speechless.
She coughed lightly and said, "They're here. Aunt and cousin Minmin are with me."
Gu Jiu led the mother and daughter to the wing room, and at the same time sent someone to invite the Su family of three.
Halfway through, Chen Lu caught up with them.
"Since this is a marriage proposal for my sister, as her brother, I can't be absent."
Chen Min was very grateful, "Brother is here."
Chen Lu nodded, and the brother and sister had a tacit understanding.
Hu Yang despised Chen Lu, "You little bastard, I thought you would hide from me forever. After I see your sister's marriage, I will deal with you."
Chen Lu pursed his lips, unmoved, and resolutely followed.
Gu Jiu didn't object.
She led everyone to the courtyard room.
The three members of the Su family have been waiting for a while.
When they saw someone coming in, they all stood up.
"My dear relatives...see how straightforward I am. Master Su, Madam Su, please take a seat. There's no need to be so polite in front of me."
Princess Huyang laughed heartily, and the slip of the tongue was over.
Aunt Tao looked at Chen Min a few more times and found that she was indeed different from Huyang. She looked very well-behaved and gentle.
Uncle Su couldn't help but frown when he heard Huyang's slip of the tongue.
People in the capital city said that Princess Huyang was out of tune and played the piano a lot.
When I saw it today, it was indeed very out of tune.
How can you mistakenly call them in-laws when you first meet them? Ridiculous.
Uncle Su, a scholar, got angry and disliked Princess Huyang very much.
Naturally, he was not willing to become a relative of Princess Huyang.
Before Hu Yang even realized it, a slip of the tongue had already determined the outcome of today's blind date.
Gu Jiu made an excuse to leave and asked both sides to have a good contact.
She left the room, but unexpectedly Su Zheng caught up with her.
"Why did cousin Su come out?"
"It's inappropriate for a junior like me to be present during a conversation between elders."
Gu Jiu also saw Chen Min and Chen Lu, brother and sister, behind him.
"Why did sister Minmin come out too?"
Su Zheng turned around abruptly upon hearing this. Chen Min blushed instantly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Chen Lu snorted coldly, walked forward, and faced Su Zheng directly, "Mr. Su, if you don't like my sister, just say it directly. No need to be hypocritical."
Chen Min looked like she was about to cry, but she was holding it back.
Su Zheng sighed, "Mr. Chen misunderstood. It's not that he dislikes her, but that we are not a good match."
"Do you despise our Chen family because we are descendants of criminal officials?" Chen Lu narrowed his eyes, like a little leopard, wanting to bite someone.
Su Zheng shook his head. "No, it's just that our Su family is too high to reach her."
"If that's the case, why did you agree to the blind date?" Chen Lu was furious. Was he kidding me? Did he know that his sister had lost her appetite because of this marriage?
Su Zheng smiled helplessly, "If not, your mother won't let it go."
Chen Lu's face flushed.
I wanted to teach Su Zheng a lesson, but I didn't expect that the root of the trouble was actually my own mother.
He glared at Su Zheng fiercely, "Coward."
Su Zheng was puzzled, but did not refute.
Chen Lu returned to Chen Min and said, "Let's go. We don't care about him."
Chen Min was really about to cry and she refused to leave.
She looked at Su Zheng and said, "Mr. Su refused this marriage because of my mother. But I am not the same person as my mother."
Su Zheng bowed and apologized, "Miss Chen, you are very kind, but we are not suitable. Our Su family is small and cannot withstand any trouble. Goodbye!"
Su Zheng left decisively, not forgetting to give Gu Jiu a wink. Little Jiu could only trouble her to help clean up the mess. If he stayed, things would only get worse.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly and told Su Zheng to leave quickly.
When it’s time to cut it off, cut it off!
Chen Min finally burst into tears.
She shed silent tears and watched Su Zheng's back go away.
Chen Lu was anxious and worried. "Don't cry, sister. No one with the surname Su is worthy of you. You will meet someone better in the future."
Chen Min raised her hand and wiped away her tears.
"Brother, don't say anymore. I know myself well."
After saying that, she lowered her head and left along another road.
Chen Lu was extremely anxious. He glared at Gu Jiu before catching up with Chen Min.
Gu Jiu pinched her nose, she knew this would happen.
I don’t know what’s going on inside the compartment.
Uncle Su and Aunt Tao politely declined the marriage.
Princess Huyang glared and was about to explode on the spot.
Tao was scared half to death.
Uncle Su said calmly, "Does the princess want to force our Su family? This is the palace, and the princess can't be the master of the palace."
The implication is to remind Princess Huyang not to forget Gu Jiu. Gu Jiu is the eldest daughter-in-law of the palace and the one who really makes the decision.
Princess Huyang was choked and furious.
"What's wrong with my Minmin?"
"Our Su family is a small family, we can't afford to marry into such a high position."
"I don't dislike your Su family."
“But we despise ourselves.”
"Ridiculous! Is it because I have a bad reputation that you are rejecting this marriage?"
So you know you have a bad reputation!
It can be said that Princess Huyang still has some self-awareness.
Uncle Su said, "Qi Da is not my match, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Do you have to refuse?" Hu Yang was unhappy and angry.
Uncle Su bowed slightly and said, "I have failed the princess' kindness."
Bang!
Princess Huyang slammed the table, not caring if it would scare anyone. "Hmph! Do you know that if you weren't Gu Jiu's uncle and aunt, I would never give you face. Just based on your attitude, I would overturn the table without hesitation.
Do you really think that I like your son because of how good you are? Wrong! The only reason I want to marry into your Su family is because you are Gu Jiu's uncle and aunt, and Su Zheng is Gu Jiu's cousin. To tell you the truth, without Gu Jiu, your Su family is nothing in my eyes.
Uncle Su and Mrs. Tao were shocked and frightened at first, but after hearing what Princess Huyang said, they felt relieved.
It turns out that I didn't like Su Zheng.
Thank God!
"Thank you, Princess, for telling us the truth. We are truly an eyesore. We will take our leave now!"
Uncle Su took Mrs. Tao with him and left in a hurry.
Princess Huyang had a bad temper and overturned the low table.
Hu Yang angrily found Gu Jiu, but when he looked into Gu Jiu's eyes as calm as water, he inexplicably felt uneasy in his heart.
"Have Auntie and Uncle Su finished their discussion? What was the outcome?"
"Did you already know that they disagree?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Why does my aunt think that the Su family will agree to this marriage?"
"My Minmin is so nice."
"Marriage is the union of two families."
Gu Jiu made his meaning clear enough.
Hu Yang was upset. "Of course I know that marriage is about uniting two families. Isn't it enough for me to promise not to cause trouble?"
By the end, I felt aggrieved.
"no!"
Gu Jiu flatly refused.
Hu Yang has no moral integrity, and her guarantee is worthless.
If the Su family is willing to marry, it doesn't matter, Gu Jiu will not interfere. But if the Su family refuses the marriage, Gu Jiu will have to make good the aftermath.
Hu Yang became sad. "Everyone looks down on me. My nephew's wife, do you look down on me too? Tell me!"
Gu Jiu felt like a scumbag at this moment, being questioned by the woman he had let down.
She was too exhausted to complain.
“I don’t look down on you.”
"But you are unwilling to marry me. Your brother hasn't married yet, so why not let your brother..."
"Princess, be careful with your words."
Gu Jiu was angry and interrupted Princess Huyang directly, "Minmin's marriage is decided by the Queen Mother. Princess, please stop talking nonsense."
Gu Jiu’s eyes were scary.
Hu Yang was so scared, she felt more and more like a woman being bullied by a scumbag.
"Nephew's wife, you are bullying me."
Pooh!
Gu Jiu rubbed his brows and said, "Scholars pay attention to reputation, but warriors don't care so much."
"Then your dear brother..."
"Princess, if you continue to talk nonsense, never appear before me again. Our cooperation ends here. I will return all your principal today."
Gu Jiu was decisive and did not give Princess Huyang any chance to imagine.
Princess Huyang was really scared and said weakly, "I was just joking. Look how serious you are."
Gu Jiu said with a straight face, "Some things are not allowed to be joked about."
She didn't interfere in Gu Ting's marriage, so what right did Hu Yang have to interfere?
The Liu family’s bad habits need to be cured.
Hu Yang said in a wronged tone: "Your brother is already old and still hasn't found a marriage. Aren't you anxious?"
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, "Princess, follow me to the study and I will settle the principal for you."
Hu Yang Niannian waved his hands, "Forget it, forget it. I am afraid of you. From now on, I will never think about your son from your mother's family again. Is that all right?"
That's about right.
"I hope the princess will remember what I said today."
Seeing that Gu Jiu no longer mentioned the matter of returning the principal, Hu Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh my god!
My nephew’s wife is so fierce.
No wonder Liu Zhao was afraid of his wife.
Princess Huyang naturally thought that the person she was afraid of, Liu Zhao must also be afraid of.
No reason.
Just so confident!
