Chapter 469: Waiting for marriage with peace of mind! Full of anticipation!
Gu Ting had the emperor in control of Gu Jingyao's wedding date, and the emperor had no choice but to accept defeat.
Who made the prince insist on having someone else's niece? Anyway, he and the queen are satisfied with this princess, so let Gu Ting act a little bit.
Anyway, he and Gu Ting have been living like this for so many years, and he has long been used to it.
The eldest princess went to the palace and told the queen about the Gu family's plan. The queen naturally agreed and then asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate the date.
"Eldest sister, the marriage between the Crown Prince and Jingyao is a very good one. With me here, no one can bully Yaoer, and the things you worry about will not happen."
The Queen had the best relationship with the eldest princess. Gu Yunfei married into the Qin family, and the royal family and the eldest princess's mansion were unable to become closer, which the Queen always felt very sorry about.
Now that the prince has married Gu Jingyao, it just makes up for the queen's regret.
Although Gu Jingyao is not the eldest princess's biological daughter, the two branches of the Gu family have a good relationship. The eldest princess treats the second branch's child as her own, so marrying Gu Jingyao can be considered a closer relationship.
The most important thing is that the prince likes her very much, and they like each other, which makes the queen even happier.
"The entire Gu family is relieved that Yao'er will be your daughter-in-law. As for your husband, he is just messing around for no reason."
The eldest princess smiled and said that everyone in the Gu family agreed to the marriage, including Gu Ting.
"I understand everything, elder sister." The queen smiled happily.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you." The eldest princess asked with a smile, remembering what Mu had asked her to do.
"Eldest sister, just ask, why are you being so polite to me?"
"I want to ask if your second brother's niece is engaged."
"But someone asked me to inquire about it. The other day, my second sister-in-law came to the palace and asked me to help keep an eye on it. I'm worried about it now. Can you tell me quickly, elder sister, which lady asked you to inquire about it?"
When the queen heard that the eldest princess was asked to inquire about her niece, she immediately became excited.
"I won't beat around the bush with you. We're all family. You even know my nephew Jingshu."
The eldest princess is also a straightforward person and doesn't like to beat around the bush.
"It's Jingshu? Did the Second Madam ask my eldest sister to ask?"
The emperor was very surprised. She didn't expect it to be Gu Jingshu. She had seen that young man several times and he looked quite good.
"I've seen him a few times at banquets before, and Jingshu has kept it in mind. My second sister-in-law accidentally found out about it and wanted me to ask him privately."
"That's really great. My second sister-in-law asked me to help look for my niece."
"Jingshu will be taking the imperial examination next year. Second Sister is worried that it will affect his studies, so she wants to wait until the exam is over before discussing this matter. That's why she asked me to ask privately."
"Eldest sister, I understand everything. I will talk to my second sister-in-law later. For now, don't let me see her in the future."
"My sons' thoughts are also very important. Secretary Jing is handsome, well-behaved, and has a good temper. He is a good candidate for a husband. He will definitely be on the list of candidates for the next spring imperial examination. It's well deserved."
The eldest princess joked with the queen that she didn't mean to praise her nephew, but that Gu Jingshu was indeed outstanding.
"If my eldest sister says it's excellent, then it must be excellent."
The queen was delighted. Just because the men of the Gu family did not take concubines, her second sister-in-law and second brother would definitely be satisfied.
"Don't put pressure on the children yet, and don't make it public. Our elders know what's going on. By the way, you can also investigate Jingshu."
The eldest princess has a thousand trusts in her nephew, but her daughter is also a treasure, and it is right for the girl to evaluate the boy.
"I know, elder sister. Thank you, elder sister!"
"I should be the one thanking you!"
After they finished talking, they smiled at each other. Fate is sometimes so magical.
The queen invited the eldest princess to have lunch in the palace, and the eldest princess went back only after lunch.
Not long after the eldest princess left, the queen's second sister-in-law entered the palace.
The queen told her the eldest princess's intention, and she was very happy. The Gu family had a good family tradition, and she was satisfied to be able to marry into the Gu family.
When she left the palace, her steps felt much lighter.
After returning and telling her husband about the Gu family's intentions, the Queen's second brother was also very satisfied.
Originally, they intended to marry their daughter to the prince, but neither their daughter nor the prince were willing, so they had to give up.
If children are forced to do things that they cannot do, they will just be a couple of grudges.
Their family's power is already sufficient and they don't need marriage to consolidate it.
Now that the prince has been granted marriage by the emperor, they are indeed preparing to find a husband for their daughter.
It can be said that her own daughter was brought up according to the standards of a Crown Princess or even a Queen, and she is a model of noble ladies in the capital.
Gu Jingshu has a very capable older brother who is also very good at studying. The Gu family said that they would discuss this matter after the Spring Examination.
It is obvious that this is to give their family time and opportunity to test Gu Jingshu. If Gu Jingshu proposes marriage after he passes the imperial examination, it will also give face to their family.
So the couple agreed, but they still had to find out what they needed to know.
In the following days, the more they inquired, the more satisfied they became. For the first time, the prince's second uncle felt that Gu Jingshu was much more suitable than the prince.
Both parties tacitly agreed not to mention marriage, but they knew it in their hearts and their relationship became better and better.
The Gu family is also very busy, with a pregnant daughter-in-law/niece-in-law, a son/nephew preparing for exams, and a daughter/niece waiting to get married.
The Mu family was busy every day. The eldest princess, Gu Yunfei, Qin Zhizhi, and even her eldest and second sisters-in-law from her natal family were all vying to help.
Not only did they contribute labor, but they also contributed money. Whether it was Qin Zhizhi giving birth to a child, Gu Jingyao's wedding, or Gu Jingshu's imperial examination, it was all the first time for the Mu family.
I missed too much in the past, and now I just want to make up for it.
All of Mu's dowry was given to Gu Jingyao. Mu wanted to stop it, but the Mu family didn't listen to her at all. They just gave what was due and sent what was given.
After Mu had tried to persuade her eldest and second sisters-in-law many times without success, she went directly to her mother to complain.
As a result, Mrs. Mu gave more, and Mrs. Mu felt a little regretful for coming to complain.
The eldest princess loved Gu Jingyao to begin with, and now the man she was marrying was her own nephew, so the eldest princess put all her efforts into preparing the dowry.
Qin Zhizhi also prepared a lot for Gu Jingyao. After all, dowry is a woman's confidence.
Gu Yunfei was also very generous to her only cousin, moving good things to Gu Jingyao's yard as if they were free.
Old Madam Gu has always felt that the Gu family owed the Mu family and their children, and this time she thought of a way to make up for it.
Mrs. Mu and her daughter were very grateful when they saw what their relatives gave them.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not to be outdone. He not only emptied his own private treasury, but also almost emptied the Emperor's private treasury as well. They were all rare treasures as a betrothal gift to his little girl.
He felt that his Yaoer deserved the best things in the world.
These betrothal gifts are nothing, he will give her better in the future.
The marriage between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gu Jingyao is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Gu Jingyao is not worried about the wedding.
She embroiders wedding dresses every day, learns the rules of the palace from the nanny, helps her sister-in-law take care of the children, and takes responsibility for the little boy who gets into trouble.
Life was simple and happy, and getting married was something she looked forward to.
