Gu Jiangli looked at the little girl in front of him with some surprise.
Her attire was very different from before, but her face was clearly that of Lotus, the personal maid who had followed him in the previous world!
【Darling, this is a gift from the system. After all, there aren't many people as loyal as Lotus. With her around, she can help you with many things.】
Of course, Lotus doesn't have memories of the previous world, but you don't need to doubt her loyalty to you.
Gu Jiangli was overjoyed.
I just arrived here and ran into an acquaintance, Lotus, who is loyal to me! This is great news!
She will never complain about the system being stingy again; it's incredibly generous!
Lotus looked anxious and said:
“Miss, I know you don’t want to marry Prince Yu, but the marriage was arranged by His Majesty, and our bridal sedan chair has arrived at Prince Yu’s residence. There’s no way to refuse!”
"Please get out of the sedan chair first. We can discuss this further later, okay?"
How could Gu Jiangli refuse such earnest and heartfelt persuasion?
She came here to have a child for Prince Yu, so why wouldn't she want to get married?
After hearing this, Gu Jiangli got out of the sedan chair.
The lotus flower was stunned by the firm and confident stride.
"Miss...you...are you willing to get married?"
Gu Jiangli, with a smile on her lips beneath the red veil, replied, "Yes, no matter how much I opposed this marriage in the past, I have now come to a change of heart, and I am willing to marry Prince Yu."
Please, that's Prince Yu, whose wealth is comparable to that of a nation!
Lotus was instantly delighted upon hearing her words.
"Miss, it's so good that you've figured it out! Please come in!"
Lotus helped her up as they entered the Prince Yu's mansion amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums.
As soon as she stepped through the door, a man appeared beside her, holding the other end of the red wedding sash as they walked into the hall to perform the wedding ceremony.
He is very tall.
This was Gu Jiangli's first impression of Prince Yu.
Because as soon as he approached, a shadow fell over his feet.
Clearly, this man was at least a head taller than her.
She lowered her head slightly, trying to discern his figure from his shadow on the ground.
She thought, at least her figure is acceptable.
She was very satisfied with this.
The entire wedding ceremony was almost exactly like what you see in TV dramas.
She did whatever the emcee told her to do.
She wore a red veil from beginning to end and never saw what Prince Yu looked like.
After the ceremony, she was led to the bridal chamber.
She could sense that the Prince Yu's mansion was really big; it took her a very long time to walk from the front hall to the garden and the rooms where she lived.
After being led to the bridal chamber, Prince Yu spoke his first words to her, his tone extremely cold:
"Go inside and wait. I need to go to the front hall to drink with my guests."
After saying that, Prince Yu left without even waiting for her to reply with a "okay".
Gu Jiangli sensed that Prince Yu was not entirely satisfied with this marriage.
So after sitting down on the bed, Gu Jiangli first asked Hehua about the situation.
Lotus was very puzzled by the various questions Gu Jiangli asked, but out of loyalty, she answered them in detail.
"Miss, it's because you don't like Prince Yu."
“You said that Prince Yu was cold, domineering, and heartless. You cried for three days and three nights when His Majesty issued the decree to grant the marriage. But my husband is just a fourth-rank official, so of course he can’t resist the imperial decree.”
Gu Jiangli strongly agreed with the original owner's assessment of Prince Yu.
Judging from his behavior just now, he was indeed cold and inhumane.
"Judging from Prince Yu's attitude towards me just now, it's clear that he doesn't like me either. As a prince, doesn't he intend to refuse this marriage proposal?"
Lotus hurriedly said, "Miss, it's not that Prince Yu doesn't like you; he doesn't like any woman."
She paused intentionally at this point, ran outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then ran back, this time speaking much softer:
"It is said that Prince Yu would feel nauseous and want to vomit whenever he touched a woman's body. However, some people say that this was just an excuse that Prince Yu made up to cover up his infertility."
"Perhaps he doesn't actually hate women, but is impotent, so he deliberately spread the news that he hates women's bodies."
Gu Jiangli was utterly shocked. "He can't have sex? He's impotent?"
Lotus waved her hands repeatedly, telling her to keep her voice down: "Miss, you mustn't mention this in front of the Prince! After all, these are just outsiders' speculations, and nobody really knows what happened."
"However, after thinking it over for several days, I still think the latter possibility is more likely. If Prince Yu really disliked women, why would he keep so many concubines in his palace?"
Gu Jiangli was stunned.
If Prince Yu is impotent, wouldn't her task be as difficult as climbing to the heavens?
Just as I was about to find the system and ask it all, Lotus said again:
“Miss, it’s wonderful that you’ve thought it through and are willing to become the Princess Consort of Yu.”
"Actually, apart from being unable to have children, Prince Yu is a hundred times better than that Young Master Xu in terms of appearance, wealth, and status."
"Although Young Master Xu is very gentle and you are kindred spirits, I feel that he lacks responsibility. If he wanted to marry you, he would have come to propose long ago. How come he hasn't mentioned it at all in the past two years?"
"Besides, you were born out of wedlock in the Gu family, and the madam never liked you. Now that you've become the Princess Consort of Yu, at least you won't be bullied in this palace."
