The situation is stable now, so the prince is not worried. However, since his father has passed away, he has to observe mourning for three years at least. A lot of things can happen during these three years, so it is better not to observe mourning.
After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu remained silent, and spoke to the prince after a moment.
"Let's wait until Xue Niang comes home, then we'll go take a look."
"Okay, now your sister has become my cousin's wife. From now on, we will be a real family."
After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu just nodded slightly. After all, his relationship with the prince was such that even without this marriage, they were already people in the same boat, so he would not take the initiative to capsize the boat.
Compared to the liveliness in the General's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion is even more lively.
There were no less than a hundred relatives of the Guo family who came, and after marrying Xue Niang, everyone went to the Guo family. For a while, the Guo family was crowded with people.
Prime Minister Guo and Old Madam Guo both had rare smiles on their faces, and one could tell at a glance how sure they were about this marriage.
When the two newlyweds kowtowed to heaven and earth and to their parents, they also bowed once more to Prime Minister Guo and Old Madam Guo, who were both so happy that they shed tears.
After the words "husband and wife bow to each other and are escorted to the bridal chamber" were spoken, the marriage was finally settled. Gu Shaoyu was dragged to the front hall to drink with the groom, while Xuenniang was escorted to Guo Silang's yard, waiting to join the crowd in the bridal chamber.
The eldest sister-in-law Liu also entertained the guests together with the third wife of the Guo family. The two families became one and were particularly happy.
Everything else at the banquet was fine, except for Concubine Ying from the Fourth Prince's mansion. Although she was present, her expression was a little stiff, and her eye circles were slightly blue, one could tell at a glance that she had not rested well.
When Madam Feng Shao saw this, she walked over to her elder sister-in-law Liu and whispered something to her.
"I heard that the Fourth Prince has already made an appointment with the Wei family. He will marry Miss Wei as his principal wife after one year. It's a pity that Concubine Ying fought with Concubine Liu for so long that she didn't get the position or the child."
The eldest sister-in-law Liu glanced at Madam Feng Shao. Her information was certainly correct. After all, there was nothing she couldn't find out about the ladies and young ladies in Sui'an City.
But the eldest sister-in-law was a little skeptical. Given the Wei family's mentality, they would actually be willing to send their legitimate daughter to be a second wife, even if she was the prince's second wife. It was indeed a bit surprising.
"I understand not getting the seat, but what does it mean not getting the child?"
"Sister-in-law, you are overthinking it. Do you think that everyone in Pingding Marquis's Mansion is a simple character? They couldn't find a daughter from the direct line to send in as a successor, so they found a 16-year-old niece from the side branch and sent her to the Fourth Prince's Mansion three days ago. Although she is only a concubine in name, she is raising the child left by the Fourth Prince's wife. I heard that they have already discussed it with Pingding Marquis's Mansion, and they will promote her to a concubine after the position of the principal wife is settled."
Being attacked from both sides, it's no wonder that Concubine Ying looked so unhappy.
The eldest sister-in-law Liu sighed, she really didn't know whether she, a widow, was more miserable, or her "sisters" like Concubine Ying who were always fighting with each other were more miserable.
Madam Feng Shao and her sister-in-law Liu were gossiping about this because of the "Bodhisattva" behind them. The reason why Du Jingyi did not show up this time was because she was pregnant.
She knew this, of course, but after learning from her mother that it was the third child, she felt that this was a very auspicious sign! Although it has not been announced yet, if the baby is born in the future, the momentum of the general's mansion, the prestige of the Gu family, and the favor of His Majesty will all increase a lot, so she also thought about making as many friends as possible.
Xue Niang became her younger sister-in-law, and the relationship between them would naturally be harmonious in the future.
The eldest sister-in-law, Liu, in front of her was also someone that Gu Shaoyu and his wife valued, so naturally she would try to win her over and not offend her.
So, he smiled and started chatting with his elder sister-in-law Liu about other things, and never let her be alone in the house.
It was lively from morning till night, and it was already dark when Guo Silang was carried back by the servants. The smell of alcohol on him was so strong that even Xue Niang, who was still covered with a veil, could smell it.
There was some displeasure on her little face, but she also knew that those who came today were all people who could drink, especially since Sixth Brother had called all the twelve deputy generals. Even if Guo Silang refused a few bowls, he would not be able to withstand the toasts.
Look, he was sent back drunk.
The maids and servants following Xue Niang couldn't help but sigh after seeing this. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to have the wedding night, so they whispered in Xue Niang's ear.
"The servants will help the young lady wash up first. We have to get up early tomorrow to meet the elders, so we can't delay."
After hearing this, Xueniang nodded and then took off the veil herself.
Glancing at her husband who had fallen asleep beside her, she felt extremely helpless, but after all they were going to live together in the future, and thinking that he was just happy today, she didn't care too much.
So he ordered the maids to change his clothes and wipe his face and hands.
When Xueniang came back from the ear room after washing up, she saw that Guo Silang had been moved to the bed. He did not change his inner clothes, which were still made of red silk, and blended in with the red brocade quilt with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the bed.
Xueniang glanced down at her inner garments and couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled many past events.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When the eldest sister-in-law arranged for someone to deliver the inner garment for the wedding night that day, the style and material still made Xueniang blush with embarrassment. She had thought that it would take some courage to put on the dress, but she did not expect that after seeing Guo Silang in such a state today, the nanny quickly changed her into a tightly wrapped one.
It really made her laugh.
Then, she got on the bed gently, smelled the strong smell of alcohol, and said to the maid beside her.
"Lights out."
"Yes, Madam."
The room suddenly became dark, and the maids went out and stood guard outside.
Xue Niang turned sideways and looked at Guo Silang's face which was already soundly asleep. She couldn't help but lightly bite his shoulder, and then said angrily.
"You only care about your brothers and delayed our wedding night. You are really one person before the wedding and another person after the wedding. You are so bad!"
It was a pity that she was complaining softly, but the only response she received was the sound of heavy breathing. She didn’t know how Xue Niang fell asleep in the end.
The only thing I remember is that when the sky was just getting light, I was inexplicably pulled into a warm embrace, and someone whispered in my ear.
Sisters, later~
I'm typing like crazy, and today's update will be arranged! Don't worry!
