Chapter 514 Gu Wanqing comes to be examined
"Ningning, I'm back. Are you feeling better now?"
Gu Yining was now sitting on the bed. "I feel much better now. Tell me in detail what happened today."
Xiao Yanxu then told her vividly about Song Mingen's performance in the court.
Gu Yining was deeply surprised. "Ming'en is worthy of being admitted as a scholar at the age of ten. If he had continued to study and pursue a career in government, he would have been an official for twenty years and would be at least a first-rank official now. If the Song family had allowed him to study, my wife and I might have recognized Ming'en a long time ago."
Xiao Yanxu thought for a moment, "With that wild woman lurking in the dark, I'm afraid Ming'en was targeted the day he arrived in Beijing. After all, the Song family would definitely not tell him about his background if they allowed him to study. Ming'en was caught off guard when he arrived in Beijing and was harmed without knowing what happened. If Wanwan doesn't recover her memory and Sister Yu doesn't have a precognitive dream, we'll never know we have a fake son. So, only when the time is right can we recognize Ming'en."
Gu Yining nodded, "The ninth day of next month is Ming En's birthday. We need to prepare quickly and make up the thirty-six birthday gifts."
"Okay, Ming'en will no longer be called Ming'en. The emperor has given him the name Xiao Hongye. From now on, we will call him Ye'er."
Jiang Yunwan looked at the imperial edict and showed an expression of "as expected". This was all within her expectations.
"Ming En, when will you start your job?"
"Mother, Daddy changed his name to Xiao Hongye."
"I'm used to calling you mother." Jiang Yunwan looked at Song Mingen, "Aye?"
Song Mingen smiled and replied, "Hey, Wanwan, I went to the imperial mausoleum to worship my ancestors and pray for blessings before going to the yamen. I also brought my official uniform back with me. I'll wear it for you and your daughter after dinner."
"Okay, by the way, Sister Yu, how is your aunt doing after giving birth? Who does your little cousin look like?"
＊
When Du Ye learned that Song Yu was conferred the title of princess and listed in the royal imperial edict, she was in a very good mood and specially prepared two vegetarian dishes for herself.
Du Henian was unhappy. "Song Mingen said that he would wait until Sister Yu reached the age of marriage before adding her to the family tree. Now he's waiting here! He didn't want Sister Yu to recognize her ancestral roots from the beginning. He shouldn't have agreed to his request! If she had been added to the family tree then, Sister Yu wouldn't be included in the royal family tree today, and he wouldn't be able to snatch her away from her!"
Su Beiqing frowned, "Why didn't you stop me when I was submitting the imperial edict?"
Du Henian's breath caught in his throat. "How could we ministers possibly enter the Royal Ancestral Hall? I only found out after the ceremony was over."
"This is a good thing, so don't be dissatisfied. Sister Yu is listed in the Imperial Book of Documents and is a princess, so she is considered a daughter of the royal family. There is no need for her to compete with other girls from aristocratic families for the title of a noble lady in order to marry well."
"That's right! But I just feel uncomfortable and sad! Sister Yu is our biological daughter, and you gave birth to her with great difficulty after a difficult labor. How could she be included in someone else's family tree? Now she doesn't even call us mom and dad when she sees us..."
Su Beiqing was silent. When Yu Jieer came back, she should have sent Du Zhihuan away.
But... there is no medicine for regret in this world.
Mu Mansion
"The ninth day of next month is my uncle's thirty-sixth birthday. We should go there early that day. Grandma, don't forget to mention the wedding of my elder brother and younger sister Yu to my great-aunt that day."
Madam Mu glanced at Mu Jingxing who was sitting quietly beside her. "Your elder brother treats everyone like a criminal. What if Miss Yu doesn't like your elder brother?"
Mu Jingxing: ...
Mu Chuqing: "Grandmother, don't worry. Sister Yu will definitely like Big Brother. If everything goes well, the wedding date will be set on the third day after Sister Yu turns eighteen."
Princess Xiao Zhenshu said, "If your brother waits a few more years, he'll be thirty years old. Yu is just eighteen and in her prime. Will my newly promoted eldest cousin agree?"
"What do you mean a thirty-year-old man? My eldest brother wouldn't even be twenty-four at that time. My uncle would definitely agree. Oh, and I'll get married at eighteen too!"
Mu Jingxing spoke up, "Mother and grandmother, the Jiang family will also be there that day. We must not only discuss my marriage, but also my sister's marriage. We must mention my sister's marriage to Guanchen to the Jiang family that day."
"Brother!" Mu Chuqing was furious. "You're the matchmaker, but you didn't even ask me if I liked Jiang Guanchen?"
"You don't like him?" Mu Jingxing raised an eyebrow. "Then I don't need to worry. Today in the court, I saw Prince Rui looking at Guanchen frequently. That look is like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. Princess Anyang is also good-looking and is a good match for Guanchen."
Mu Chuqing frowned slightly, "Alright, I'm already fifteen, it's time to talk about marriage. Mother and grandmother, please take the trouble to help me choose the right one. If the other party agrees that I can get married when I turn eighteen, then please finalize the marriage first."
Mu Chuqing put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm done eating. You guys take your time. I'm going back first. I didn't take a nap today, so I need to go to bed early tonight."
Madam Mu looked at the receding figure and winked at the eldest princess. "Qing'er wants us to take a good look at Master Jiang for her. Is that what you mean?"
Xiao Zhenshu smiled and said, "Master Xiao Jiang is good-looking and has a good family background. He is very popular with the matchmaker..."
Prince Cheng's Palace
"Not only is Song Mingen not dead, he is also the real Prince Xiaorong?"
Concubine Cheng Tong couldn't believe her ears!
King Cheng: "Absolutely true! He wore the mask because he was worried that he would be seen by the people who admired the Queen and lose his life. Who would have thought that Xiao Hongyi was a fake king!"
"So Jiang Yunwan is the consort of a first-rank prince?"
"That's right. The Du family's real daughter was also given the title of Princess and listed in the Imperial Book of Documents. Song Mingen, no, it should be Xiao Hongye. The Emperor also appointed him as the Imperial Censor of the Inspectorate."
"Is he... is he capable of doing this? No one in the court would object?"
"He's capable of doing it. The method for increasing grain production came from him..."
Tong was inexplicably moved. Jiang Yunwan became the consort of Prince Xiaorong, and Xiao Hongye was favored by the Emperor again...
Then there is a high possibility that Xiao Hongye will become regent in the future.
Jiang Yunwan will be the Regent Princess in the future.
She is so lucky!
The next day, after breakfast, Gu Wanqing brought Gu Zhouci to Prince Rong's mansion.
When Tian Xiao saw people coming, he quickly winked at the people around him, then respectfully stepped forward and took the father and son to the living room.
"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment."
Gu Wanqing asked, "Is the prince in the mansion?"
"exist."
Tian Xiao retreated to the door, being frugal with words.
A quarter of an hour later, Cuiyun brought people over.
"Cuiyun, can Ningning see us today?"
Cuiyun nodded and said calmly, "Come with me."
Gu Wanqing felt relieved. Ningning's ability to see them meant that the Gu family would not be implicated.
When the Gu family father and son arrived at the guest house, they were surprised. Why did they come here?
A moment later, Cuiyun and the others stopped at the entrance of a secluded guesthouse. "Mr. Gu, the princess has instructed that you need to change into new clothes before you go to see her at the Golden Sparrow Terrace."
Gu Wanqing was even more surprised. He needed to change clothes?
Gu Wanqing looked at the yard in front of him. It was impossible for them to run away now.
"Okay, change it for us."
Gu Wanqing strode into the main house and took off his coat.
Gu Zhouci wanted to follow in but was stopped outside. Tian Xiao went in and quickly stripped Gu Wanqing's upper body.
"Cuiyun, you can come in."
When Cuiyun walked in, the first thing that caught her eye was Gu Wanqing's fair back, and her eyes slowly moved towards his right shoulder.
Cuiyun's eyes suddenly widened, it was just as the queen said.
"Okay, you can put it on now."
