Chapter 436: Proposal
Today, a special message came from the palace, asking Gu Jingchun to wait in the mansion in advance and not to go out.
Because today is the day of the royal betrothal ceremony.
Originally, the betrothal gift should have been paid before the enthronement ceremony.
However, the situation was urgent.
Moreover, Chen Hechuan wanted to find some more good things from the warehouse to give to Gu Jingchun, which caused the delay.
Today, Lan Xin specially dressed up Gu Jingchun.
At this time, Little Shadow led a group of people through the most prosperous streets of Tiandu City and headed towards Gu Jingchun.
This caused a lot of discussion among the people around.
The people all stood on both sides, packed tightly together.
"Hey, why is there such a big scene? What are you doing?"
One of the men asked.
After hearing this, another person explained, "You don't understand, right? Look at the ceremonial procession and the regulations. It's clearly a royal dowry!"
After saying that, he explained it again for fear that others might not understand.
"It means the betrothal gift."
"Wow, I see. Who is so lucky to be the queen of our Dacheng?"
Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but take a second look at the person asking the question. Seeing her tattered clothes and haggard face, he said with disdain, "You must have just fled from another place!"
"No wonder you didn't know. Who else could this queen be?
Of course it’s the prince’s biological mother, Gu Jingchun.”
"The prince's biological mother?"
"this……"
"I heard that Gu Jingchun was a widow with a child, and was driven out of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion because of this. How come she is now the prince's biological mother and can even become the queen?"
"With this identity, will the Queen Mother agree?"
"Will the civil and military officials agree?"
After the beggar finished speaking, the people next to him couldn't help but start explaining.
"When did you get this news?"
"You probably don't know that Gu Jingchun's son is our Majesty's child.
"Back then, when Her Majesty was injured during a battle on the border, it was our Empress who saved her and married her, leading to the birth of that child, who is now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's a pity that there was chaos at the border at that time, and Your Majesty, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, once again went to the border to fight and kill the enemy.
Gu Jingchun was framed by a villain and suffered a lot with his child. He was later redeemed by the Marquis of Yong'an."
The man sighed as he spoke.
"To be honest, the Marquis of Yong'an is a fool. It's obvious that the child his daughter is carrying is a treasure, but they insist on supporting that fake daughter.
He also expelled his daughter from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
I thought I had gotten rid of this burden, but I didn't realize that I had also thrown away my greatest fortune."
"Otherwise, wouldn't Yong'an Marquis Mansion have risen to a higher level and become the father-in-law of the emperor?"
"Yes, it's also thanks to the fact that Yong'an Marquis is dead and his wife was exiled. Otherwise, if she knew this news, she would probably regret it to death."
"Yes, this is the wealth of Po Tian, and he was allowed to retreat just like that."
“To be honest, there is still one person in the Yong’an Marquis’ Mansion, and that is the eldest son, Gu Erli.
He is a smart one.
He has been trying to get closer to the future queen.
You see, isn’t this an immediate benefit?
Your Majesty did not punish him, and even handed over the border to him. This time he has also made great contributions."
"Speaking of which, there's also that official from Ye Wenxi who recently acknowledged Gu Jingchun as his sister. Wouldn't his status also rise in the future?"
Several people sighed as they spoke.
"So, it seems that the Marquis of Yong'an and his wife are fools. No wonder they ended up like this."
After a few people finished speaking, they left with regret.
The ragged lady stood there as if she had lost her soul. She did not come to her senses until everyone had left. She stared blankly in the direction the royal procession left.
If someone saw her face at this moment, they would definitely recognize her.
This beggar was none other than the fool they had just been talking about, the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an, Chu Qianlan.
After Chu Qianlan was exiled, he was beaten and scolded all the way.
Later, several officers guarding them started fighting over a trivial matter.
Chu Qianlan was really scared of being beaten, so she took this opportunity to sneak away.
Although she escaped by chance, staying alive was a huge problem for her.
In order to survive and avoid being pursued by officers and soldiers, she disguised herself as a beggar.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, when she was snatching steamed buns from a dog, she was suddenly knocked unconscious by a man in black. When she opened her eyes, she found herself back in Tiandu City.
At first, she was very panicked, but Tiandu was Tiandu, and even being a beggar was better than eating before.
So, after a brief panic, she gradually adapted to it.
Originally, everything was normal.
But at this moment, she saw the ceremonial procession and knew all this.
She clenched her hands into fists and gritted her teeth.
"Gu Jingchun!"
"You are really awesome!"
"So, your bastard is actually the prince's child. Even so, you didn't reveal a single word. You kept us in the dark and made us a laughing stock in Tiandu."
No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke up for her, and no wonder the Crown Prince sent Gu Yunjin to jail.
No wonder Marquis Yong'an was arrested and imprisoned.
So, that's why.
Thinking of this, Chu Qianlan couldn't help it anymore and just walked towards the crowd.
She hates it!
She has become like this now, why can she, Gu Jingchun, be so high and mighty and be the queen!
Why should she enjoy wealth and glory?
No, she doesn't agree!
She would never let this happen!
Even if she died today, she would stop all this.
After she returned to Tiandu, she went through many twists and turns and had a lot of trouble before she found out about Gu Yunjin. When she learned that Gu Yunjin had been imprisoned, she hated him even more.
Queen?
She should go to hell with them!
Chu Qianlan held a dagger in his hand, hidden in his sleeve, and blended into the crowd.
At this time, the ceremonial procession had already reached the gate of Gu Jingchun's mansion.
Gu Jingchun, Ye Wenxi and Gu Erli all stood together, speaking respectfully to the official who delivered the marriage proposal.
Chu Qianlan looked at the radiant Gu Jingchun, and thought of all the pain she had endured during this period.
Those dark days.
The days of being beaten all over and starving made her crazy.
Why!
Why!
Why can she, Gu Jingchun, enjoy such wealth and glory? Why can she enjoy all this?
And she was like a rat in the gutter, being spitted on and cursed!
