And so, the three became sworn sisters. In order to become the second eldest, Princess Jinghe sacrificed her parents and brothers.
He San Niang belatedly realized that she had managed to curry favor with a powerful figure!
When she gets married, she'll have a prince and princess as her parents, the prince's son will carry her to the bridal sedan chair, and a princess will be her older sister!
Even though the princess is a little younger than her, she's not at a disadvantage!
She's no longer an orphan; she has a family now!
He San Niang suddenly burst into laughter, startling Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe who were standing nearby.
He San Niang turned her head: "Sister Da Hui, Sister Er Zhen, hahahahaha..."
This is insane!
Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe quickened their pace.
After traveling for two more days, we finally arrived at Linshan.
Instead of heading straight to Linshan Water Camp, they went to find Xue Qianyu first.
Xue Qianyu was unaware of Peng Ze's situation. Upon hearing their words, he decided to personally escort the three of them to the southern border coast.
In Xue Qianyu's heart, Gu Nian's family was her family.
When Xue Qianyu encountered the Empress Dowager while seeing Gu Nian off in the capital, he sensed the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Gu family, but he didn't think much of it.
It wasn't because of his status, but because of Gu Nian, and of course, because of the friendship he had with the Gu sisters in Sanchakou Village.
It takes most of the day to travel from the Linshan Camp to the Linshan Water Camp on horseback.
Xue Qianyu escorted the people to the water camp and then led them to the southern coast overnight.
"Sister Huihui, Princess, Miss He, I won't see you off. Take care!" It was already the afternoon of the second day when they arrived at the southern coast. Xue Qianyu was relieved only after watching the three of them board the ship.
"Xue Xiaoer, go to Kuncheng when you have time! Someone misses you terribly!" Princess Jinghe said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Okay!" Xue Qianyu nodded with a smile.
...
In Kuncheng, the Peng family also received a carrier pigeon that evening, learning that Gu Hui and the other two had set off.
General Peng disregarded the cold night and personally went to the Gu family's residence.
Now that Gu Hui is his future eldest grandson's wife, and she went out for his grandson's sake, he can't just send someone to deliver the message; he has to go in person.
Well, we can also take advantage of Gu Er's wine.
Fearing that too many people would come, Gu Erxiao wouldn't give out any wine, so General Peng didn't even invite his son and daughter-in-law to come along.
In the main hall of the Gu family, General Peng sat with the Gu family at the table, where orange and rock sugar wine was being brewed. Under the table was a warm stove, making it a very comfortable place.
Hearing that Gu Hui and the other two had already set sail, the Gu family felt somewhat relieved, but also more worried.
Setting sail means the journey has been smooth, but it also means that no news will be sent back for some time.
Even Zhang, who always favored sons over daughters, couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Although I love my son, I don't want my daughter to suffer!"
Is that brat Huihui seeing that her three younger sisters have all been made princesses, and she wants to earn a princess title too? Why doesn't she just go home and have her sisters take her for a walk in the mountains? Xinxin and Sisi can see it, and Huihui is older and has bigger eyes, so if she looks closely, she might be able to see it too.
Otherwise, she could do research with Niannian. Next time, they could report that Huihui did a lot of work, and that would get her approved, right? Anyway, Huihui is the Empress Dowager's great-granddaughter. All she wanted was a slicked-back hairstyle, but this stupid girl is already determined to do it all herself.
Zhang was very conflicted. She was overjoyed when she first heard that the Peng family had proposed marriage, but now it seemed that marrying the general was not a stable option!
