Chapter 1336 Prince Liangyuan
Lianyi felt that her behavior of supporting after-sales service was already giving face to Gu Dieer.
Gu Die'er tightly grasped the small porcelain bottle in her hand and nodded solemnly:
"Lianyi, thank you! I know what I want. I just need to be a mascot in his harem and let the family provide the necessary help. I don't need to have any offspring and don't get in the way of the main wife. I just want to live an ordinary life."
Lian Yi sighed in her heart, then gently patted Gu Die'er's hand and said:
"This world is harsh on women, and once you enter the palace, there are countless eyes staring at you, hoping that you will make mistakes, hoping that you will be disliked, so you must think twice before doing anything.
As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. The harem is a quagmire. Even if you don't want to get stuck in it, there will be people who will drag you into it. You have to be alert and protect yourself while not living a wronged life. After all, the Gu family is not short of money."
"Don't worry, the money my mother gave me is enough for me to use."
Lianyi still had some feelings for Gu Dieer, so she reminded her in detail about some private matters in the harem. She said that these secrets were learned from an old maid who had retired from the palace.
"Don't underestimate her because she is an old maid with no rank. But she must have something extraordinary to be able to escape from the cruel palace and earn enough money for her retirement. At least she has experienced the twists and turns of the palace herself, so you must listen to her."
"I've made note of it. These mothers have also asked someone to tell me something. With the pills you prepared for me and the capable maids and old women, I can handle it."
"Remember to use both kindness and severity with the servants. Madam Gu will pass on information about the maids' and old women's families outside the palace from time to time. You must make good use of it."
"I've noted it all down. I never knew you could be so talkative."
Gu Die'er muttered.
After Lianyi gave her instructions, she left the space to Madam Gu. Madam Gu's eyes were already red, but she still forced herself to say some private words to her daughter, and then watched her daughter leave Youzhou City.
Because she is the prince's concubine and the only daughter of the Gu family, Xin Yuan specially arranged a guard team for her. The main reason is that with Gu Die'er's considerable dowry, there might be someone with bad intentions. In this way, Gu Die'er's safety is guaranteed.
Gu Die'er got married, and Madam Gu fell ill. In fact, it would be better to say that she was too depressed than ill. Lianyi knew that Madam Gu had a heart disease, so she could only prescribe some warm tonic medicine and let Gu Minglang spend more time with Madam Gu.
Gu Minglang is now eleven years old and has started to study a long time ago. Although he is not a gifted scholar, he is still diligent. He knows that he will inherit the Gu family in the future, so in his spare time, he will follow Mrs. Gu to inspect the properties and has some understanding of the family business.
Mrs. Gu was ill, and her husband had no one to control him, so he started to act up again. Recently, he became addicted to gambling. Because he couldn't be humane, he was tricked into taking Wu Shi San, hoping that it could cure his husband's disease.
Lian Yi knew all these things. After she checked Madam Gu's pulse again, she told Madam Gu all these things. Then Madam Gu got up from the hospital bed and took a group of servants to drag her annoying man out of the casino.
Mrs. Gu then ordered the Gu family's servants to destroy the entire casino with great fanfare. When the casino owner came upon hearing the news, Mrs. Gu had already placed the compensation money for destroying the casino in front of him.
She also threatened that if she dared to seduce her husband to gamble again, she would destroy the place every time she found out. Then they would compare whether their Gu family had more money or the casino could be rebuilt faster.
Mrs. Gu made a scene to vent her frustration and let everyone see how powerful the Gu family was. No matter how angry the casino owner was, he couldn't make a big deal out of it, after all, it was they who lured Mr. Gu into the casino in the first place.
The Gu family now not only has money, but also has support. Crown Princess Liangyuan is the only daughter of the Gu family and will be made a concubine in the future. So they can only swallow this humiliation and promise with a smile that they will not receive Master Gu in the future.
After Mrs. Gu captured the man, she put him in solitary confinement and only gave him one meal a day to ensure that he would not starve to death. Then Mrs. Gu cheered up and began to plan for the future of the Gu family.
Mrs. Gu is not a naive person. She was trained as the heir by the old patriarch. She knows very well that their Gu family is now on the prince's ship. Only when the prince's position is stable can their Gu family be stable.
After the prince ascends the throne, what she has to consider is to retreat while the power is at its peak, lest the emperor abandon her. After all, they are just merchants, and can never be compared with those high-ranking officials and nobles.
Mrs. Gu had something to do and her health improved. Lianyi no longer went in and out of the Gu Mansion frequently. She then returned to Fu'an Village, explained her situation to Liu Dashan and his wife, left some money behind, and went out to work as a traveling doctor, carrying her medicine box.
Liu Dashan and Zhuang Sisi originally disagreed. In their eyes, their daughter had always been well-behaved and sensible, and had grown up to be so generous and beautiful, so she should find a good man to marry and live a comfortable life with her husband and children.
But Lianyi knew her own business. She was only staying here for a short time and had never thought about starting a family. In the end, she had no choice but to use the innate skills of the Phantom Fox to make the Liu family temporarily forget the existence of her eldest daughter. Only then was she able to escape.
After Lianyi escaped, he hired a carriage and asked an old soldier who had retired from the border to be the driver, and began his career as a traveling doctor.
Mrs. Gu received a letter from Lianyi and found out that Lianyi had left Youzhou City. She wanted to send someone to deliver some silver but couldn't find anyone.
However, Lianyi said in the letter that her final destination was Kyoto, and she would find a way to contact Gu Dieer when she got there, and they would take care of each other if anything happened.
Mrs. Gu also had her own selfish motives, so she did not stop it. She even wrote a letter to tell Gu Dier about the matter. However, she wrote rather obscurely in the letter, believing that her daughter would understand.
On the other side, Gu Die'er finally arrived in Kyoto after more than a month's long journey. After her identity was verified, she was carried into the East Palace where the prince was.
At this time, the other two concubines and another concubine had already entered the palace before Gu Die'er, but Gu Die'er didn't care at all.
Xin Yuan treated everyone equally. He visited the two concubines and another concubine for three consecutive days, and did the same to Gu Die'er.
Gu Die'er waited on Xin Yuan in a proper manner and helped him rest. Then, after making sure that he had no intention of giving her contraceptive soup, she took the pill hidden in the hollow earring without hesitation.
Xin Yuan came to Gu Die'er's place for three consecutive days, and returned to the queen's courtyard on the fourth day. After that, he rotated between several women, which could be said to be equally treated.
When Gu Die'er was not favored, she seldom stepped out of her own small courtyard. She just picked up everything she learned when she was a girl, and studied the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting in different ways. She did find some taste for them, and she became more calm and gentle.
