Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 228: After marrying your wife, you should treat her well

Although Guo Cuiyan's plan failed, it still caused a small ripple in the turbulent palace.

 Before Emperor Ming stepped into the Taihe Palace, the news that he had struck up a conversation with Guo Cuiyan reached the ears of Concubine Meng of Ziwei Palace.

Concubine Meng, who has always been favored by the Sixth House, is having a very unhappy time. Her daughter, the Eighth Princess, has been very emotionally unstable since she was blinded by a peck. She has been mad and noisy all day long, which has broken her heart. At the end of the year, various vassal kings came to Beijing to pay tribute, and brought countless beauties of all kinds, which made Meng, who was already in her thirties and no longer young, feel a sense of crisis.

Over the years, if Meng didn't have the ability to see all directions and listen to all directions, how could he survive in this fiercely competitive palace.

Concubine Meng listened to the palace servants' report on today's events. She shook the jade hands under her wide sleeves and snorted coldly: "There are many people coming in these days, and this Guo family is the first one who dares to be so restless. "

Concubine Meng waved her hand and retreated to report to the palace attendants. She immediately summoned her confidant, the eunuch, and said, "Please make arrangements for Mr. Guo to leave today."

The most indispensable thing in the harem is beauty. Meng's exclusive favor for so many years is not just based on her beauty. Meng Guifei's scheming skills can't be matched by a hundred Guo Cuiyan tied up. Dealing with Guo Cuiyan, who has not yet become a mature person, is just a matter of little fingers for Concubine Meng who has experienced many palace battles.

The **** received the order and was about to bow down and retire when Concubine Meng gave another warning: "At least this was sent by the Zhenguo government, so be careful when doing it."

Although Concubine Meng had a lot of resentment towards the Zhenguo Palace because of the incident with the Eighth Princess, she was not ignorant of the importance. In this critical period of seizing the rightful son, the Meng family did not want to quarrel with the Zhenguo Palace.

The **** agreed: "Don't worry, Madam, I'll take good care of my slave. All I have to do is let her leave quietly."

But she said that Guo Cuiyan's plan failed tonight, and she was inevitably upset. But she was an indomitable master. Although she didn't win the emperor in one fell swoop tonight, she still said a few words on the emperor's behalf, which was a shame. Ripe.

The days ahead are long, Guo Cuiyan is lying on the bed and thinking carefully about the next step. Suddenly, she felt a cramping pain in her abdomen. At first she could hold it back, but within a short time the pain caused her to break out in cold sweat. She couldn't help but hold her belly and roll on the bed.

There were three or four beautiful ladies living in this house. When the other beautiful ladies saw her acting like this, they quickly called the aunt in charge.

The steward who came in glanced at Guo Cuiyan, who was writhing in pain, waved his hands to several young eunuchs, and said coldly: "This one is probably sick. Let's move to another room first."

The little **** listened to the order and rushed forward to carry Guo Cuiyan out.

After Guo Cuiyan fainted from the pain, she opened her eyes again and found herself lying in an empty room. She was so exhausted that she had no strength at all. She forced herself to get up and get down to find some water to drink. She looked around and saw that the small room was empty except for a hard bed.

Guo Cuiyan forced herself to crawl to the door, slapped the door panel with all her strength and shouted: "Come here, come here!"

She called intermittently for a long time, and then the impatient echo of a young **** came from outside the door: "Stop yelling, the girl is seriously ill. The doctor said that you should have a good life and take good care of her. Please save your energy."

 She was locked up in such a small room without seeing the light without food or water. This was not meant to be a living thing for her.

Guo Cuiyan is not stupid, and now she understands that they are going to torture themselves to death.

Once entering the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. Unfortunately, even when death was imminent, Guo Cuiyan racked her brains and couldn't figure out who wanted to put her to death because she had just entered the palace and had not offended anyone.

Regret? Guo Cuiyan did not feel any regret until her death, she was just unwilling to give in.

She closed her eyes in despair, but her mind suddenly flashed back to the rare and wealthy days she lived in the Zhenguo Palace. At this moment, the Duke of Zhenguo, who was still thinking about Guo Cuiyan until his death, was immersed in joy.

 Emperor Ming personally issued a decree to marry Li Xiang to Princess Pingyang.

At noon, the **** who proclaimed the decree went to the Zhenguo Government Palace to announce the decree.

 The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is of the same family as Prince Yong's Mansion. The couple has a son, a girl, a talented woman, both of whom are beautiful in appearance, and they have been granted marriage by the Holy Emperor. This is undoubtedly an excellent and very suitable and decent marriage.

The Zhenguo Government House, which has not been peaceful for a while, finally had a happy event. Everyone in the house was filled with joy, except Li Xiang.

Li Xiang stood blankly holding the imperial edict, and for a moment he couldn't remember it.

That little princess from Pingyang whom she only met once became his wife? He tried hard to recall the voice and appearance of his young fiancée, but all that came to mind were the shadows of Jiao Xing.

 “What, third brother doesn’t like it?”

Li Xiang, who was immersed in his thoughts, turned around when he heard the call and saw that it was his brother Li Ling and his sister-in-law. He scratched his head and hesitated: "I just think it's a bit too sudden. I can't say whether I like it or not. "

Jing Shu knew that he was carrying a sweetheart in his heart, and sighed: "This morning my mother just ordered someone to tell me that she would come to tell my grandmother about your marriage in two days, but I didn't expect that the Holy Father would make the decree in such a hurry. "

yes! Their uncle has always been more diligent in dealing with the affairs of these children than in handling government affairs.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "I always feel that I am still young, but I am not in a hurry to get married so early."

Li Ling saw his brother's unsettled appearance and admonished him: "From now on, when you get married, you have to treat others well, you know?"

Li Xiang scratched his head again: "I know. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

 Speaking, Li Xiang went out in a hurry.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's back as he was hurriedly escaping, and said to Li Ling worriedly: "Do you think this third brother is still thinking about that Jiao Xing?"

Li Xiang has been protected by Li Ling since he was a child. Li Ling, the elder brother, knows his younger brother very well. He replied: "It would be difficult to make him forget, but the third brother is a gentle person, and he has learned a lot from his experience in the past two years." You have matured a lot, and even if you marry a wife in the future, you will not be able to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife."

Jingshu smiled bitterly and said: "That Jiao Xing is a good one, and this little Princess Pingyang is even more lovable. I just hope that my third brother can handle this matter well."

Li Ling stepped forward and tightened his wife's cloak, and said angrily: "You are not in good health these days, so you don't have to worry about it. Let's put that sweetheart in Zhuangzi first, and let him wait for the third brother to get married." You can handle it yourself, he is not a child now, how can we still help him with everything, I believe he can take care of these things."
