"Your Highness, what should I wear for tomorrow's palace banquet? I left the Xu family with nothing."
Xu Lingyi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed a little embarrassed.
Qi Yuan also realized this, "It's too late to make custom clothes, so we can only buy ready-made clothes. I will ask someone to send the clothes over now."
Xu Lingyi nodded.
After all, Qi Yuan was the most powerful prince, and soon hundreds of different types of clothes were placed in front of Xu Lingyi.
"Your Majesty, these... are too many."
"I don't know what style of clothes you like, please take your time to try them on."
Xu Lingyi's white jade earlobes flushed red, "Thank you, Your Highness."
She seemed to have picked one at random, but she felt in her heart that this dress should suit her.
Sure enough, when he came out after changing his clothes, the servants in the room were stunned.
Clothes make the man. This dress is complicated but gorgeous enough, and it will look amazing when worn.
Xu Lingyi raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yuan shyly, "Your Majesty, is it okay for me to wear this tomorrow?"
Qi Yuan's dark eyes stared at Xu Lingyi, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, "Very good."
His voice was extremely low, but his mind was full of thoughts.
He realized again her beauty, so charming and beautiful.
Although Qi Yuan concealed it well, Xu Lingyi still caught a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"You can try other clothes." Qi Yuan suggested.
"Okay." Xu Lingyi said softly.
Xu Lingyi tried five or six sets and finally chose the original one.
Qi Yuan put down the teacup: "Let's go."
Xu Lingyi didn't understand why, but she still followed him.
"Your Majesty, please wait for your servant." Xu Lingyi spoke in a low voice with a stammer.
Qi Yuan then turned around and realized that she had not followed him.
He was tall and took long steps, while Xu Lingyi was petite and had short legs, so she walked slowly.
Looking at the slightly sweaty hair on Xu Lingyi's forehead, Qi Yuan stopped.
Xu Lingyi walked quickly to Qi Yuan and asked, "Your Majesty, where are you taking me?"
"It's getting dark. You and I haven't gotten married yet. Staying in the palace will damage your reputation."
Qi Yuan looked at her with deep eyes, "So I'll take you to Gu Mansion."
"Is this the home of Master Gu Qingfeng?"
Qi Yuan nodded, "Well, I intend to ask Lord Gu to adopt you as his adopted daughter, and on the day of the wedding, you will marry out of the Gu Mansion."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Gu Fu is Qi Yuan's confidant, and the identity he arranged for her is very suitable.
"What about the Xu family..." Xu Lingyi was a little worried.
"The Xu family dare not act rashly. This prince will handle the matter."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xu Lingyi understood in her heart that she married Qi Yuan as the young lady of the Gu family. The people in the capital were all shrewd people and would naturally understand her and Qi Yuan's attitude towards the Xu family.
The Xu family cannot get any benefit from her.
Watching wealth and glory pass by before their eyes must be more painful for the Xu family than killing them.
"We will be husband and wife in the future. You don't have to thank me."
Xu Lingyi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded softly, "Okay."
…………
"What...she will be my sister in the future?" Gu Qingfeng was surprised. He had a younger sister for no apparent reason, and she was Xu Lingyi!
Qi Yuan nodded and glanced at him coldly, "Do you have any objections?"
Gu Qingfeng quickly shook his head: "How is that possible? I am too happy to be happy. After all, I don't even have a sister."
The Gu family was happier than Gu Qingfeng and thought more.
If Xu Lingyi became their family's adopted daughter and married out of their family.
Later, she became the Princess of Yan, which brought honor to their family. In name, the relationship between the Gu family and the Prince of Yan became closer.
This matter will benefit the Gu family in every way and will not cause any harm.
The entire Gu family was very excited, and everyone naturally praised Xu Lingyi.
Only Gu Qingfeng spoke to her, just like before, without any reservations.
"From now on, I will be your brother!" Gu Qingfeng was very excited.
His dark, deep eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "Call me brother, will you?"
Xu Lingyi lowered her head: "Brother."
She really liked Gu Qingfeng and it was not a pretense.
Compared to the Xu family's brothers, he treated her better.
Gu Qingfeng also played an indispensable role in her smooth marriage with Qi Yuan.
"Ahh, sister."
Gu Qingfeng jumped up and down excitedly.
Qi Yuan held his forehead and said, "Just calm down."
————
On the day of the palace banquet, Xu Lingyi also came with the Gu family, but her seat was not next to the Gu family.
In order to meet her future daughter-in-law, the queen naturally moved Xu Lingyi's seat to the front.
But the people in the front seats are the most distinguished, and are either royal relatives or the families of first-rank ministers.
Xu Lingyi stood out particularly when sitting among them.
"Whose family are you from?"
Someone came forward and took the initiative to inquire about the news, with a kind look on his face.
This question seems simple, but it is difficult to answer for Xu Lingyi now.
She was unwilling to admit that she was a daughter of the Xu family, but it was not easy for her to say that she was from the Gu family at this moment.
Because this matter has just been finalized.
Fortunately, someone among them knew her.
"She's the eldest daughter of the Xu family, the fiancée of the deceased General Wei."
After these words came out, Xu Lingyi could clearly feel many more scrutinizing eyes from above.
The capital has always been well-informed. Recently, the fact that Prince Yan was choosing a marriage for the daughter of the Xu family was known to all these high-ranking officials and noble families.
Naturally, he also knew that Xu Lingyi's marriages with the Duke's Mansion and the Crown Prince of the Princess's Mansion had all fallen through.
The secret is naturally unknown, but from the outside, it seems that Xu Lingyi is too arrogant and can even blow off such a good marriage.
