Chapter 437
In her opinion, the reason why the emperor had recognized this marriage between her and Gu Jing was because he loathed Gu Jing and felt that there was no need to stop Gu Jing if he was going to commit a foolish act.
This move from Wang Yu, she was afraid was a wrong move.
“Cousin, have you written to uncle? I feel…” Tang Fengchun politely reminded.
However, before finishing her sentence, she was impatiently interrupted by Princess Duan Rou. “There’s no place for you to speak here!”
Princess Duan Rou vented all her frustrations during these days to Tang Fengchun.
Tang Fengchun could only bite her lower lip slightly and simply did not say anything more.
Duan Rou’s character has been headstrong since she was a child, and does not like to listen to what others say. However, Wang Yu likes her attitude, thinking that her temperament was like his; bold, and imposing, and that even though she was a woman, she was no worse than men.
Princess Duan Rou picked up the teacup irritably and then became angry again because the tea got cold.
Their visit to the capital this time was well planned, but unexpectedly, things did not go smoothly.
This was because of Fang Hanjun, not hesitating to burn the bridge, and broke away from their control, causing all of their previous plans to be redone.
Before coming, their father mentioned to them about the emperor’s children, so they knew about the second prince, Gu Jing, who was not favored by the emperor. However, since he was the eldest son of the emperor and had the support of his grandfather, Chengen, he still had some connections in the court to support him. Therefore, they put someone next to Gu Jing, so it would be easier to handle things in the future.
This was why she asked Tang Fengchun to temporarily change her target to Gu Jing.
And…
Princess Duan Rou narrowed her eyes as she picked up the new tea that her maidservant had just served and said with a smile. “Gu Jing is still sensible, unlike Gu Zezhi who doesn’t know how to appreciate favors.”
Tang Fengchun: “…”
Tang Fengchun lowered her gaze with a hint of ridicule flashing across her eyes.
Just because the plan did not go according to her plan, he failed to appreciate favors? These people were smart. Looking at how the emperor used Gu Zezhi, he was not as useless as Wang Yu claimed; at least he knew how to make good use of people.
Moreover, a benevolent ruler was better than a tyrant!
At this time, a maidservant’s voice could be heard saluting outside, “Third Master.”
Both cousins raised their eyes toward the outside of the main hall and saw Gu Xi walk under the eaves, and a maidservant hurriedly took off his sapphire blue cloak.
Gu Xi crossed the threshold and entered the hall. He casually glanced around half a circle, and upon seeing the four boxes of gifts and wooden geese, he knew that the Imperial Clan and the Ministry of Rites delivered the final gift today, but he did not care.
“It’s done.” Gu Xi said as he lifted his robe and sat down beside Princess Duan Rou.
“Excellent!” County Princess Duan Rou’s face showed joy, instantly dispersing the unhappiness she had just now.
Gu Xi took a sip of hot tea and added calmly, “I’ve already gotten on the line, and tonight, I’ll go see him.”
So, what if the emperor does not allow them to leave? He has his ways of getting out.
“As expected, although the second prince is not as favored as the sixth prince, he is still the eldest son of the emperor, and there are always people who are covetous of those who have the power of the dragon.”
With that said, Gu Xi’s gaze landed on Tang Fengchun who was sitting diagonally across him and meaningfully warned. “Cousin, don’t be careless. The second prince’s favored concubine is pregnant…” He meant that if they wanted Gu Jing to be completely on their side, then they had to control him.”
“Yes, cousin.” Tang Fengchun obediently responded, feeling bitter.
