Gu Qingcheng seemed not to have heard the rumors outside.
He was dressed in new clothes and left the palace in a grand procession with his guards.
On the contrary, the Huo family noticed that the wind direction outside was a little strange, so they stopped Huo Wuniang who was about to go out.
Grandmother Huo spoke first, "Fifth Lady, are you getting along well with the Ninth Prince?"
Huo Wuniang didn't react for a moment, so she answered truthfully: "Excellent!"
The ninth prince is about the same age as himself, with outstanding appearance and considerable talent.
Although he has lost his memory, he is not stupid.
Huo Wuniang felt very comfortable getting along with "him".
At least he’s better than that blind date guy, some noble young man from Beijing?
fart!
He is not as good-looking as the Ninth Prince, nor as talented as him.
Even this brain, tsk tsk——
Well, Huo Wuniang felt that she shouldn't compare that man with the Ninth Prince.
He doesn't deserve it!
Moreover, there is the most wonderful thing about her and the Ninth Prince.
They were not arranged by their parents or matchmakers, but fell in love freely at first sight.
Huo Wuniang is a devout beauty lover, while the Ninth Prince remembers her life-saving grace and is particularly close to her.
Perhaps, the relationship between them cannot be called love, but it is also a very good start.
Huo Wuniang was very satisfied and she was already looking forward to their married life.
There is no problem with the cooperation between the two sides.
At least for now, the whole collaboration is beneficial for both parties.
The Ninth Prince gained the Yue family, which held a large number of troops, thus strengthening his own power;
As for the Huo family, they have temporarily formed an "alliance" with the royal family and will not be the subject of suspicion in the next few years.
As for the future——
Haha, that was after that time.
Why think too much?
Besides, everything depends on human efforts. As long as you manage it carefully, a political marriage can also be successful!
She and the Ninth Prince could always find a win-win solution that satisfied both parties.
"Excellent?"
Grandma Huo was not comforted. She looked at her bright and outgoing granddaughter, then thought of the messages outside and fell into a brief silence.
Grandma Huo is not someone who would easily believe in rumors.
But, what people say is scary.
The Huo family may not care, but what about the Ninth Prince?
He was a sixteen-year-old boy, at the age of high spirits and passion.
People at this age are easily influenced.
Not to mention the Ninth Prince, there is also the Third Princess who is the daughter-in-law of Princess Ruyang.
He looks humble, cowardly and submissive, but that's only on the surface.
Just seeing that she was able to sneak out of the palace and have a secret meeting with her cousin who was already engaged, you can tell that there are still some rebellious bones in her weak body.
If the Third Princess has a rebellious nature, what about the Ninth Prince, who is His Majesty's beloved son?
Living off a woman!
Rely on women!
He was just short of pointing at someone's nose and calling him a "son-in-law".
In ancient times, being a son-in-law was definitely a very humble and despised existence.
Only the most incompetent and undignified men would marry into a woman's family.
Not only will a son-in-law be despised and ridiculed by the world, but the government will also classify him as a merchant or a criminal.
If the imperial court encounters any situation and needs to recruit soldiers, merchants, sons-in-law, criminals, etc. will be forcibly conscripted and used as cannon fodder!
So, at that time, saying that a man was a gigolo (marrying into the wife's wife) was definitely the greatest humiliation!
Grandmother Huo was an experienced woman, so she knew that the rumors were probably directed at Huo Wuniang.
Although on the surface, it was the Ninth Prince who was being scolded, but in the end, the one most likely to get hurt was the girl from their Huo family.
Huo Wuniang has already experienced "broken engagement" once, is she going to be "abandoned" by a man again?
"I don't know who is so vicious and vicious as to resort to such despicable means."
"If this ruins my Wu Niang's good marriage, I, an old woman, will never forgive you!"
Grandma Huo was secretly angry, but when facing her granddaughter, she didn't want to say too much.
However, Huo Wuniang is not stupid after all.
She was not a lady from the Feng Dynasty who never left the house.
She is the daughter of a nobleman of the Qing Dynasty, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse!
In addition to frequently going out with the Ninth Prince, Huo Wuniang also had a few close friends in the capital.
The sisters drank tea and admired flowers together, rode horses and played ball together, and mentioned all kinds of gossip in the capital when chatting.
After hearing her grandmother's question and seeing her hesitation, Huo Wuniang immediately thought of some words that her younger sister had kindly told her when she went shopping at Dongda House with others two days ago.
"Grandma, are you worried about the rumors outside?"
Huo Wuniang asked loudly.
Seeing her granddaughter's directness, Grandmother Huo couldn't be more tactful and said, "Those messages are nonsense, but they were deliberately released by someone who couldn't bear to see you marry the Ninth Prince."
"His heart is evil, his words are ridiculous! But, people's words are to be feared!"
"The Ninth Prince is a noble and exalted prince, highly favored by the Emperor. How could he possibly listen to such shameful words?"
Huo Wuniang waved her hand nonchalantly, "Grandma, don't worry, the Ninth Prince is not that kind of person!"
Although he is a little weak, he is more open-minded than many tall and strong men.
Huo Wuniang spoke confidently and firmly.
Grandma Huo believed in her granddaughter's vision and judgment, and concluded that the Ninth Prince was indeed a man with a broad mind.
However, she still reminded Huo Wuniang, "The Ninth Prince is open-minded, tolerant and calm, but you also have to be careful about your degree."
Women can be strong, but they cannot be competitive in everything.
